2012-11-29 (BETA) Update Android4.0.4 -> 4.1.1 Android
Everythingworked fine initially. I’ve triedconnecting it back to the computer to resolve freezing issues but I think I mayhave disabled the device or uninstalled the driver. Either way, I cannot get any computer torecognize it. It was still workinghowever. I tried to hook it up to acomputer again and put it in recovery mode. The computer still won’t recognize it. Now if I try to turn on the Minix, it starts turning on and hangs on theMinix screen. The Minix symbol justflashes but it wont load. I can get thedevice into recovery mode. Is there away to reset the device to factory settings, possibly without hooking up to acomputer? What should I do? Please advise.
