Nextbook Ares 11A - Rebuild

[tcwiv]

In an attempt to root my Nextbook Ares 11A (NX16A11264 - 5.1) I have wiped my original boot img. I have installed Ares8_recovery_twrp.img so have access to TWRP although all attempts to load a boot.img through fastboot and TWRP is plagued with failures. The most consistent being 'failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)' which leads me to a corrupt/damaged partition? Any input would be rejoicingly appreciated. Cheers!

UPDATE: I have uncovered that the partitions needed to be repaired and have successfully moved to the next series of errors. I downloaded "Nextbook Ares 11A [NX16A11264] Firmware" from http://www.nextbookusa.com/downloads/ and while trying to install from TWRP I end up with "Error 7 Can't install this package over newer build" which leads me to the script in updater-script...anything jump out???

Can I just get rid of;

(!less_than_int(1477099312, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))) || abort("Can't install this package (Fri Oct 21 21:21:52 EDT 2016) over newer build (" + getprop("ro.build.date") + ").");
getprop("ro.product.device") == "NX16A11264" || abort("This package is for "NX16A11264" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");

??

[SOLVED] So although not much help from the group i thought I would follow up in the event someone else has faces the same challenge. I had inadvertantly flashed a recovery.img to my boot partition instead of the recovery rendering my 11A soft bricked. The following is how I managed too resurrect the device.

1) Flash Ares8A_twrp_recovery.img to recovery (fastboot flash recovery ares8A.......img)
2) Open twrp
3) Wipe all partitions
4) Repair all partitions
5) Clear cache
6) Download update.zip firmware (for your device) at Nextbookusa.com/downloads
7) Download the latest SuperSu.zip
8) NOTE: My install kept failing with 'Error 7 - Can't install this package over a newer build' as I was confident this was not the case I had to edit the updater script. Open update.zip in winrar or 7zip and navigate to META-INF and find updater-script, change it to a .txt doc, open it in Notepad++ and remove the following line;

(!less_than_int(1477099312, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))) || abort("Can't install this package (Fri Oct 21 21:21:52 EDT 2016) over newer build (" + getprop("ro.build.date") + ").");
getprop("ro.product.device") == "NX16A11264" || abort("This package is for "NX16A11264" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");

9) Save the file, remove .txt and save the file back in the archive directory.
10) In twrp install update.zip
11) Install superSu.zip
12) Clear cache and reboot normally - it may take some time to boot the first time.

Hope that helps!
