Anyone good with Android?

[Nevakonaza]

I have the the Hannspree (HSG1164) Tablet which i bought second hand some time back,Its running custom Android

Android Version 3.0.1
Kernel Version 2.6.32.46-cyanogenmod
Build Number - 10.1

When i switch on the tablet now all it does/say is...

" booting recovery kernel image"

...then that takes me to Clockworkmod recovery.

in recover - backup and restore - i get the following options

-Backup
-restore
-Advanced restore

i choose restore and get

-2011-12-11.23.54.46/

selected that and confirmed restore.

Then it says

Checking MD5 Sums
MD5 mismatch!

So im totally lost what to do,The custom rom that was on this tablet anyway was good,But things did not work right (specifically video related stuff),Volume buttons were opposite to what they should have been,and rotation did not work at all.

Ive asked on about 4 different android forums,but nobody replies and the ones that do are not really helping all that much.

I have found the Orig stock Rom available for download but no details on how i go about installing it back to my tablet,So if anyone can help me do this id appreciate it heaps!

Appreciate any help!

Thanks for replying!

Yes it does have a SD slot,The problem is when i put the custom rom file on my SD card and do the above. and select "Install zip from SD card"..loads of folders come up but i cant see my rom anywhere?

The rom i got hold of that they say is good for this tablet is called "CyanogenMod CM7 Hannspad 'Slightly Blue' Edition - v1.5" i believe its based on Gingerbread.

Ive contacted the guy who i bought this tablet from to see if he can provide any help,As i cant find the Rom for the custom version of android that's currently on here messed up.

Thanks for replying guys,

CWM might be seeing the internal SD card. Plug the tablet into your PC and then select 'Mount USB storage' in CWM and you'll be able to copy it over.

Plugged it into my PC running Windows 7X64..selected 'Mount USB storage' and nothing happens...nothing shows up in My Computer.

Tried it on my sisters PC running Windows Xp Pro 32bit,a drive appears in My Computer but when i click on it,just says insert disk? lol.

Sometimes if you have to many folders on the sd card the zip file you want may not show up, are there any folders you can delete or save to your computer (music/phots) to try and free some space up.

If your putting the zip file (as a zip file) onto the root directory of the sd card it should show up.

Il try deleting some of them folders (if it will let me)

EDIT-Nope,No option showing to delete any files/folders.

The external SD card is blank.

If you go to device manager when you are in CWM do you see anything like 'adb interface' ? (No mounting of USB storage needed)

On the Windows 7 machine,Nothing shows up under USB controllers,Its as if its just not detecting the tablet.

On the Windows XP machine However it does detect something.

under USB controllers the tablets picked up as "Android debug bridge interface"

Right, maybe another idea. Back up everything on the SD card, then format then. Then stick the ROM on and it will be the only thing on it. Then see if CWM can see it?

Already done that mate and i cannot find the rom,All i can see on the cwm is the other files (which i think are on the "Internal" memory,Not on the SD card.

I cant even see in the cwm where to browse files on the "External SD card"?

After quite a bit of searching around,I'm wondering if i need certain drivers or something so my computer can pick the tablet up properly,Like i said the Win 7 pc does nothing when i plug it in,Yet the Windows Xp somehow picks it up but that's about it.

Hannspree website isn't much help,And their cust support will be useless because its not stock anymore. :/

You've got the ADB drivers installed and working so if you get hold of adb (part of the android sdk) you could push a rom to the internal storage. The other possibility is getting a newer CWM which could hopefully allow you to access the external storage.

Totally new to this,How do i go about doing that?

Doing it myself (with a lot of help from others) is the only way i can get this up and running again,Ive asked family/friends if anyone knows anythin about Android or tablets in general and they don't.

Sorry for my late reply Em3bs.

But Success!

Managed to put the stock (but slightly modded for Play store) rom on it and everything now works flawless.
stock 7792 - stock 2.2 rom rooted & play

On the version that was on the tablet prev,The Tilt feature did not work,Wifi Light did not work,Volume buttons were reversed,and play store wouldnt load half the time.

Just glad its back up and running,Linux helped me big time too.

Thanks for your help anyway chaps.
