You've booted stock recovery.

You need to download the modified 3e recovery package, unzip it, remove the uImage_recovery file, place the uImage_Recovery file in the top level of your external SD card, they try flashing again.

Also be aware that the ROM does not provide any new features. It is only needed by people who need to reinstall the stock ROM.

The root package is only needed by people who have not yet rooted by some other method.

The modified 3e recovery might be useful to hold on to in case you want to try flashing anything else that was not provided by Nextbook.

Are you trying to use the modified recovery to flash the stock ROM and / or root package?

It sounds like you're probably still in stock recovery. You need to download the modified 3e recovery for your model, unzip it, find the uImage_recovery file and place the uImage_recovery file in the top level of your external SD card.

I am also getting this error now after flashing SMT-Next7P12-8G-NXM727MC_WM-102312-8192cu_wifi.zip
I had to try many times to get it to install, with several mount errors, and had to wipe multiple times (both from the recovery boot, as well as TWRP). After a combination of wipes from both, and then an install, then more wipes, it got running.

It also has repeated issues, eg: Browser will not install: does not appear in the app list, and when I try to install via root explorer (system/apps) it gives the non-useful message: 'application not installed'.

There are repeated fails as well, eg immediately after a factory reset, just after the startup wizard shows, the message is given: 'Unfortunately, Google+ has stopped'. Same thing sometimes happens with 'Google Play Movies and TV'. More recently, the email app closes without message when openeing any email.

I have also had the boot image (flashing circles) occasionally stay on indefinitely after flashing. Fixed by wiping everything multiple times and re-flashing.

I have also had messages indicating factory_update_param.aml is missing, although I can't remember how to repeatedly produce that error.

Currently re-flashing about once a day, and sometimes it seems to work fine (including power off and on) for 6 or 8 hours, then, at the next power off and power on, will freeze again.

Unfortunately, being a noobie at the time, I didn't save the supplied rom, and it got overridden during a subsequent flash.

Do you have any suggestions please ?

I have NEXT7P12-8G

BTW: I really like the android boot logo :-)
Thanks.

In your case... the problems you are experiencing are because you are using an 8GB ROM on a 4GB tablet. The partitions are not mapped correctly because the internal memory is not the correct size for the ROM.

Eventually, I'll get around to making a ROM for the 4GB version, but I don't know when.

Cancel that... this response was intended for Mohammed... he was the one with the 4GB model...

What recovery and ROM are you using?

[shaunmt]

I tried Update it and it keep saying that:

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failes
Installation aborted.

This happens when you use the stock recovery, because the stock recovery will only install updates provided by Nextbook.

You need to use TWRP, but I haven't made any ROMs for your tablet yet.
