Amlogic Next7P12-8G Modified Recovery - Stock Rom & Flashable Root

[shaunmt]

These files are for the Amlogic Nextbook Next7P-8G commonly sold at Wal Mart.

Here is what you get:

Modified Stock 3e Recovery:

This is the stock recovery, dumped from the device, unpacked, modified to use Google Test Keys instead of Private Nextbook Keys and then repackaged for your enjoyment.

Unzip and place the uImage_recovery file on your external SD Card. Reboot to recovery by holding Volume and Power. You won't notice any visual changes, but you can attempt to flash any .zip signed with Google Test Keys.

Your mileage may vary. If something won't flash there is a compatibility problem between the updater-binary or updater-script and our kernel/recovery.


Stock Rom:

This is a close as I could get to a flashable stock rom.

This contains a stock bootloader.img, boot.img, uImage_recovery, logo.img, and aml_logo.img dumped from the device. The system partition was also dumped from the device. I believe all of the Nextbook bloatware is here, with nothing added and NO ROOT. Everything has been packaged into an update.zip and signed with Google Test Keys. This WILL reformat System, Data and Cache. Backup any critical data before flashing.

Place the update.zip on external SD Card and flash using the modified recovery above.


Root Package:

This is a flashable .zip that installs the su binary and has been signed with Google Test Keys.

Put it on your external SD Card and flash it using the modified recovery above. Then install your preference of Superuser.apk or SuperSu.apk from the Google Play store or elsewhere.

I appreciate it! I'll be sure to give you credit for helping test it when I update the OP.

Don't forget, you'll have to flash the root package again after the stock rom. You'll also have to reinstall all your downloaded apps and such. Your internal and external SD cards won't be touched.

You need the Modified Stock 3e Recovery unzip it to your external sd card, then put the zipped Root Package to the external sd.

Shaun... You are the man!

If you were in the room I'd kiss you square on the lips and not care who saw it! LOL Thank you for saving my sanity and my 7P12. Everything worked as expected and my tablet is now no longer in zombie land.

I'm getting the same issue as mohamed. When i unzip to exsd I can't get to my recovery. Do I leave the file in the folder or take it out?

Take it out. The uImage_Recovery goes directly in / of the external SD Card.

Glad it helped you. When I finish working on modified ROMs for the Next8P12 and Next8HD8G, maybe I'll try to make some modified ones for this model too.
