I just did the acmeuninstall in prep for ics but when back in webos i cannot enter usb mode... in my computer it shows as a drive but with 0bytes unabke to create any files / folders...
what went wrong?
webos doctor the only answer?
WebOS doctor fails too...
Gets to about 83% then says the phone has been disconnected?
Starting to wish I just left CM7 on...
Can anybody help please
i found this tut that might help you out it sounds like it might be the same issue
http://forums.webosnation.com/webos-internals/295881-webos-doctor-12-issue-fixed.html
hope its ok to post the link
thanks
To get the Doctor to finish, first try rebooting both your TP and PC and connect again. Also try a different usb port.
If the Doctor is still failing, then in WebOS go into Device Info -> Reset Options -> Full Wipe. After Full Wipe, try WebOS Dr. again. If it still fails, then the SD partition will need some more work from the WebOS command line interface. If you Google WebOS Doctor fails at xx%, you will get a good amount of hits.
Hopefully, because it's failing at a high % of completion, you won't have to go the command line route. Good luck!

OK - I managed to get WebOS Doctor to work this morning... Left it on charge last night and it just worked first time today...
Now I cannot enter USB mode on the device in WebOS no pop-up appears... I tried the hardware enter USB mode by holding power and vol down while in WebOS... Still it does not work...
I need to create the folder cminstall and put the files in for ICS install...
Anyone got any ideas what's wrong with the device? How to enter USB mode for file transfer?
I've FULL WIPED in WebOS, WebOS Doctored it twice today but still cannot enter USB mode...
Please Help!
I think I found the route cause of my issues... The cable!
Now using the official cable and can get into usb mode every time....
But here's the kicker... The script in cmd come up with an error..
The system cannot find the file specified?
I'm typing novacom boot mem:// <ACMEinstaller
Also tried it like novacom boot mem:// < ACMEinstaller
What is the issue? The files are in both root of touchpad in cminstall folder and also Palm, Inc in program files...
Never had half as many issues with CN7 as I am with this...
Can some one please help??
If you are installing cm9 you need acmeinstaller2
With Classicnerd ICS you ACMEInstall moboot&CWM then flash rom&gapps from Recovery
I'm trying to install the buttah rom which states to use acmeinstaller 1 in the docs?

Heres a thought is your folder named ACMEinstaller OR ACMEInstaller
neither.... its named cminstall as normal.
Thanks for your help though... I've wasted a day on this so far with no luck
sorry not your folder , your file in palm, inc
ACMEInstaller... I'll give it a go without the cap for installer
EDIT: still comes up The system cannot find the file specified
ok in cmd window have you navigated to palm, inc directory
IF not open palm, inc folder in program files
then hold shift and right click. from the list open command window then
novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller
I'm in the right place and using the command above but this error doesn't seem to change?
in "cminstall" folder u should have "moboot" and "clockworkmod" recovery
In Palm, inc folder u should have "ACMEInstaller" file
Then when u run the command if u get that error the cmd window cant be linked to the "palm, inc" folder
If the TP wasnt found it would say "unable to find device"

What he said, it's very important to be in the same folder as ACMEInstaller when you run the command.

I recently rooted my Eris and I'm unable to flash a custom recovery because I can't get the USB drivers to update with those found in the SDK files. When I try to update the drivers Windows tells me that I have the most up to date drivers installed. It's because of this I cannot see my phone in the command prompt and can't get the custom recovery to work.
Has anyone tried putting the recovery files on their SD and using a terminal emulator?
Any ideas on updating the USB drivers?
If I flashed a custom Rom (as risky as that is without a recovery) could I then use nandroid or some other recovery? Or would I still need to use SDK?

download htc sync that should fix ur problem , it did for me
Yes HTC sync updated mine as soon as your phone is acknowledged by HTC sync it should update your usb drivers
FYI HTC sync did NOT work for me on Windows 7. I had to do some pretty annoying stuff to stop windows from installing the regular drivers automatically. If HTC sync doesn't work I can try to help.
If HTC Sync doesn't help, try the following steps.
1. Unplug your Eris from the PC
2. Open Device Manager and delete the Android device
3. Reboot your PC
4. Once in Windows, connect your Eris
5. The drivers should load automatically, if not point it to the SDK drivers folder
Good luck!
Any more ideas
First I tried downloading HTC Sync on my laptop (running Vista) and that didn't do it. Then I deleted the drivers and tried to manually download them back with the ones in the USB folder of SDK and still it wouldn't work.
So I started over and downloaded SDK and Java to my pc (Windows 7) and tried to update the drivers with the ones found in SDK and it wouldn't let me. So I deleted the drivers, unplugged my phone, and plugged it back up. Before I could attempt to direct it to download the intended USB drivers, Windows 7 had already updated with the drivers of it's choice. I can't win for losing.
If you don't mind using one of those "Live" Linux CDs, you could install the recovery using fastboot.
No need to install anything on the PC, and no drivers are needed for Linux, no SDK, no Java, no adb; just make sure to run fastboot as root.
The downloads of fastboot and the Amon_RA recovery are small, so they will easily fit in /tmp.

I've never used Linux but I'm willing to try. Please tell me more. Are there "how tos" for this?
When you have your phone plugges in do you have it set to "charge" or "sync"? I know all the how to's say yo have it set to charge only but the inly way my computer ever finds my phone is if it us set to sync.
-------------------------------------
Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
I set it to charge. I was finally able to install the correct driver. I selected a Google driver from the list it gave me (which my computer did not like) then went back and updated the drivers with those found in the tools usb folder of SDK. IT FINALLY LET ME!
Now I have a new problem. I'm using the command prompt and trying to create a custom recovery. I set it to the tools directory in SDK (where the flash and recovery images are) and I'm entering the commands exactly like the "how to" instructions have them. I keep getting "adb: not found" errors.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Well, in the long run it is probably a good idea to resolve the driver install problems you are having on your PC, because it is very useful to have "adb" around, even if you are already rooted and have the ROM of your choice installed.
But, if you would like to do this, here's an outline below. Note that the point of the "Live" CDs is that you are not installing Linux on your machine, you are just booting it directly from the CD - the OS and hard drive on your PC are untouched.
1) Download an ".iso" file from your favorite Linux distro [ 3 ] for their "live" CD. (BIG download, usually 600+ MB)
2) Burn the .iso file to a CD as a bootable CD. (Most decent CD/DVD burner programs know what an .ISO file is, but might refer to them as a disk image).
3) Boot your PC off it! (You might need to hit a key on your PC right after you power it on to go into a boot menu, or the BIOS setup to change the boot order so your PC will try to boot from the CD/DVD before it tries the hard drive).
4) Copy the fastboot [ 1 ] executable for Linux and the Amon_RA recovery image [ 2 ] to /tmp "somehow" - you could just download it using the Linux browser if your network come up automatically (wired ethernet), or you could put them onto a USB key beforehand, and plug that in after Linux has booted; it should mount automatically.
5) Then, open up a terminal window and become root. (Type either "su" or "sudo /bin/bash" - depends on the Linux distro)
6) Attach your (well-charged) phone to the phone via USB, and power it up in fastboot mode (Send+End simultaneously)
cd /tmp
chmod 755 fastboot
md5sum recovery.img (check file sig)
./fastboot devices (check to see you are connected)
./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Obviously, if you need to look something up on the internet, it is useful to be networked, so you can use a web browser. The Linux boot will try to autoconfigure network interfaces automatically, but this is going to be most straightforward with a wired connection (Ethernet). Alternatively, if you have another PC or laptop nearby, you could use that.
Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I was able to get my drivers installed and run a nandroid recovery. Then I think I bricked my phone:
I just ran a nandroid backup for my Eris which was at stock 2.1 w/ root. I first partitioned the sd to swap - 3072 MB, ext2 swap 3072 MB, and fat32 - remainder. Realizing this was stupid, I went back and changed the partition to swap - 0, ext2 - 512 MB, fat32 - remainder 7680 MB or 7.5 GB. I moved ext2 to ext3 and booted the phone. All my sd was cleared so I copied everything back on (I saved all sd contents to my computer prior to this). I went back to recovery and flashed Eris Lightning 3.02. Everything went successful and when it rebooted, I saw the droid guys, then the "quietly brilliant", then "Verizon" screens. It then began running the "quietly brilliant" and "verizon" screens over and over. I pulled the battery and powered up again but it's still running those two screens over and over. I booted into recovery and attached my phone to the computer. I opened command prompt, entered " sd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" and then entered "adb devices". It reads "List of devices attached" but there are none. I attempted to add the driver back to my device but when I go to device manager and click "update driver" and point it to the tools directory in SDK, it says that "Windows could not find driver software for your device".
If I can't communicate with my phone via usb and it wont boot, how can I get it to recover?
Any suggestions would help, I'm scratching my head here. I really don't want to have to buy another phone.

First, relax and take a deep breath; everything's going to be fine.
In the recovery main menu, there is an Item called something like "MS-USB toggle" or something like that. It does not use the adb driver, it uses a standard "Mass Storage Device" USB driver already on the PC. The purpose of this function is to make the SD Card mount on the PC when the Amon_RA recovery is running.
Try that - it should work.
Then, download a conservative ROM such as Ivanmmj's Official 1.0 alpha, or Jcase's "Plain Jane", and copy it to your SD card.
After you have done that, make sure to check the MD5 sum of that .zip file on the SD card. (You should be doing this already).
Then, cleanly dismount the USB drive from the PC with the "Safely Remove Hardware" thingamabob, and toggle "off" the MS-USB toggle on the phone. Return to the main menu, wipe /data, and then flash the "conservative" ROM.
Then boot the conservative ROM just to verify everything is OK.
Next, Backup anything from the SD card that you don't already have (this step might be optional), and boot into recovery, and unpartition your SD card so that the only thing that is there is the VFAT partition.
For the moment, I'll give you some advice: f*ck A2SD. You need to gain some familarity with how the various versions of a2sd work before you start using it..
Very likely you were just stuck in a boot loop created by the re-partitioning you performed after initial configuration of a ROM that uses a2sd. Frankly, it is easy to create conditions for this, especially if you switch between ROMs that use different versions of a2sd, and/or don't understand that certain versions are not correctly backed up with Nandroid at the moment (e.g CLB).

Go in to the start menu of your computer or laptop right click on computer and go down to properties and open it up look to the right and you will see something that says advanced system settings click that and it will open up another window for system properties.. Okay look at the bottom of that small window you will see something that says environmental variables, click that. Now you want to scroll through the system variables and find the one that says "path" you want to change that to you ";C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" and save it.. That is where your adb file or app is in your sdk tools folder, so when you open up a command prompt type in adb devices it may say something about killing daemon starting successful.. Don't worry just type it in again you should get your phones serial number thats when you know your good and you can start talking to your phone.. You can try a simple command like adb reboot and it will reboot your phone.. All else fails and you do this and your phone is responding but you can get anything to run in the command prompt type with 1 space cd then another space and then copy and paste "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" that.. So it will look something like this
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.. That should def do the trick.. Or absolute worst case scenario and you want to make it real easy and not have the fun of doing all the hard but fun work just use the "all in one root script" it will root your phone and it will also install "amon RA recoveryv1.6.2"... Hope this helps you out. LoL I know its long but yo dude I went through the same hell and I finally got everything where I want it!!!!!! Also make sure your HBOOT is under 1.49, if you have 1.49 you cant root... For example 1.46 your good...

I'm using CM7 ALpha2, so i use 1-click CWM to recover stock recovery, and i reboot it! After that i receive endless bootloop! So i try to 8 times factory reset but it doesn't work! However it can boot into CWM from sdcard, and i flash another rom , but it still have bootloop! I try all roms i have but it still bootloop ! So Please help me !
Anyone help me please? I tried my best!
Check the checksum of the CM7_NT_Alpha12_Public1.zip on your uSD to see if it matches. Many time, the fault lies in corrupted file getting flashed. Cheap uSD reader from China can corrupt your file during transfer. I've had this experience and heard of it. Use a good uSD reader and always check the checksum.
You can shutdown your NT by holding the power button until it shut of. Re-download CM7_NT_Alpha12_Public1.zip and re-flash.

Not only CM7 Alpha2, i tried all rom in forum, none of them worked !
From recovery, do a complete data wipe (-wipe data/factory reset)
then wipe your cache (-wipe cache partition)
Install an md5 verified zip of CM7.
Wipe cache partition again. Reboot
See if that works.
During CM7 testing, the only time we encountered boot loops was from not doing a cache wipe. If you have installed numerous files, chances are stuff is getting corrupted.

Yesterday when I tried to fixed this problem, perhaps I formated the /system and the /bootdata partition! Is this cause my problem
When you boot into CWM recovery, go to advanced and show log. Do you have any errors listed there?
failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state: no such file or directory
Sometimes if i unplug cable and press power button, the N screen appear one time and turn off after that, but if i plug into computer, it will become bootloop !
Is there any ideas, i dont want to send back for warranty because i'm in Viet Nam !
If you don't have ADB set up, go download Indirect's nook&zergy file. It has ADB included in it, and you will need to grab the drivers from that same post. Located here
Then you will need to follow the instructions Here
Once you have working ADB, and you copy the parted file to your sdcard do this: (not listed as such in Celtic's post)
adb devices (make sure you are detected)
adb shell (this will return a # prompt)
cd /sdcard
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
answer yes and fix as many times as necessary. Eventually it will return a partition break down.
From there, clear cache again to be safe, then reboot
I was in the situation where my Nook would boot, showed the "cardboard box", and then blackness. I just took it to the B&N store hoping for a reformat. Instead they gave me a whole new NT. YMMV of course. Good luck!

I do following the instruction but i don't understand how to :
"ADB into your device and run the binary with the following command (you'll need it to be the accesible path or you can just be in the directory where it is)"
I double click on adb.exe but nothing happend !
you must have adb set up and working on your computer. Plug your NT USB cable in to the PC. If you have this:
Open a command window from the folder your adb.exe is located. (assuming you are running windows, linux would have a totally different set up that you would need to research). If in windows, navigate to the folder your adb is in (if you followed the guide in Indirect's thread, it would be in your c:\NTROOT folder. Either way, once you are in that folder, hold down your shift key and right click and select the 'open a command window here option from the menu.
Once you have a command window open, type the following:
adb devices (again, to make sure you are being detected)
adb shell
cd /sdcard
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
answer the prompts with yes and fix as directed.

[HOW-TO] Use ADB tool | Android Debug Bridge
you cant just type adb devices and expect it to work unless you add adb to windows PATH, first you have to "cd" to the path where adb files are located, most likely C:\ntoot or wherever you have placed them, more specific info is in the tutorial i posted.

if you never rooted using a pc but the sdcard method then you need to run the runmefirst.bat that will create a .Android folder with adb_usb.ini containing nook vendor's id needed by adb to recognize your device.

Follow this guide. To the letter, very important you set the path correctly in the environment variables or you'll be going around in circles. Once it's done, you'll have a working ADB and fastboot environment, you will also want the "Universal naked USB driver" which can be found on this site.
Once you've got that up and running, try getting your system into fastboot protocol and type fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot, if that works, then you've access to ADB and fastboot protocols, follow the commands given in solution 1a then to complete your recovery.
Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.

Extract it if you haven't already.... put your prime into recovery .... plug it into the pc... in device manager find the prime and update the driver manually... point windows to the driver and your there...
For adb... you need to download that too I use the one in the nvfashpack... so... you extract the file.. with the window open... press and hold shift then right click in the window (nvflashpack folder, where the adb.exe file is) and select open command prompt here. Now you can use the adb commands... if your trying to push a file...it is best to put it in the same folder (nvflashpack)
Hi everyone,
So my TP is getting picked up sometime in the next 7 days for repairs (cracks and all) and I need to remove android. Couldn't find the novacom drivers online, and universal installer isn't working atm, so I got the SDK and now Device Manager (Windows 7) shows it as Palm Novacom (bootie). [Also, just noticed there is another "Unknown device" as well as the "Palm Novacom bootie" ?!?]
The problem is that when I tried to run the "novacom boot mem:// < ACMEUninstaller" command, nothing happens. I tried redownloading ACME, but still the same error. Anyone know what's up or how I can fix this.
Thanks in advance!

where did you put the acmeunistaller file?

C:\Program Files\Palm, Inc\ACMEUninstaller
I tried running "novacom" on its own, but still nothing, it just creates a new row and accepts no input afterwards. The TP itself just stays in USB mode even after 10 mins or so...

So is the Touchpad in usb mode or recovery mode?
If u have a command window open inthe Palm, Inc directory where novacom application is and u type "novacom" u should at least
see a list of commands.
If not then u arent in the right place.

It's in Recovery Mode (with the USB sign on the black screen); sorry that's what I meant. I'm thinking it could be a problem with the drivers, but Windows recognises it
Never used the sdk but if its like android then the novacom application will be in a folder in the sdk.
so u will have to run the acmeuninstaller fron a window in that folder.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work
Same result as before... even if I run "novacom.exe" from the sdk folder, it just shows a black cmd screen
Is there any other way to wipe it?
Have you tried following the instructions in THIS THREAD ? It talks about how to completely remove everything and put the TP back to factory 3.0.0 settings.
Nope, but thanks for the link. Unfortunately the novaterm link is down and the Universal Novacom Installer always gets stuck on initialising
Edit: I'm trying to get novacom from the webOS download and novaterm from the palm folder... see how that goes I'll post back once I've tried. Thanks again for all the help.
or uninstall the sdk, delete the Palm, Inc folder.
Download any Webosdoctor from webos internals site.
Run the novacom universal installer, choose "select file", choose the webosdoctor download.
The Palm, Inc folder will be created from it and drivers installed.
If you have any copy off Webos doctor on your computer and have Java installed download Universalnovscominstaller and when or if you have it right click on the file then go down to open with and select Java(TM) Platform, the novacom installer will pop up click on install then click on select file then navigate to wherever you have Webos doctor ie desktop etc select it and hey presto the novacom drivers will be installed.
P.S do not download Webos doctor with windows explorer as for some reason it appears to mess it up , use chrome.
Done and done!
Finally managed to get it done, after trying to do it on 2 Win7 PCs, went to an old XP laptop and tried on there.
If anyone gets stuck on this and finds this thread:
I used Universal Novacom Installer and installed Novacom from webOS Doctor 3.0.5, on an XP system. After that put ACMEUninstaller in Palm, Inc folder and ran the "novacom boot....." command and Android was gone! :victory: :crying:
Thank you all for the help, I'm so relieved after slaving away at this for over a day

Happy you finally got there and thanks for clicking on the thank you box the solution I posted has been given by others so credit to everyone the bit that took me a long time was to click on open with and the fact that for what ever reason windows explorer messes up the download
hence the reason for my post.
All the best.
Just had my TP collected today by UPS. Let's hope when I get it back and try to put android again I won't have to go through this hell again
you can also change the compatibility settings for the app youre trying to run if its not working correctly in windows 7.
Hello,
I rooted my Hisense Sountab MA-327 and changed some issues in the builds.prop (before I backup-ed this file first). There was no result for what I was doing after a successful restart, so I copied the backup file back to the system folder. After I restart the device, the system hangs in the boot. I tried to login with ADB to see whats went wrong, but I can can not find a good USB driver for this device. Can some please help me? The device is no useless.
- Is there a good USB driver for the Hisense SoundTab MA-327?
- What do I need the get in the system (ADB tools)?
- Or ... is there a flash/firmware for the Hisense Soundtab MA-327 somewhere available?
I really hope some can help me out.
Thanks in advance

What I understood:
You are stuck in a bootloop because you edited the build.prop file, luckily, you made a backup and you know what adb is, and, hopefully, you know how to use it.
How do we solve it?
Well, I need some more information, can you boot into recovery or boot into fastboot mode? If you can, we can make your backup build.prop file active and if that doesn't work, we can just reflash stock ROM, everything will be wiped if you flash stock ROM though.
Hi RAZERZDAHACKER,
Thanks for your help. Yes I can boot into recovery/boot mode (android robot with sign and even can see the menu (Volume + Start). I tried to make an USB connection, but I can not find any driver for this device. Under XP I find a good USB driver, but then ADB want install, in Windows 7 or 10 its the opposite. And even with some not good driver, I see with the command "adb devices": No access, and then 1234567890ABCDEF. Can not find any driver. If possible its no problem to reflash stock ROM, but I do not know how to do this.
I appreciate your help.

Thanks for replying, you can boot into recovery which is probebly the most vital thing of this whole process (YaY), in recovery, there should be an option called "apply update from adb", if not, kindly name the options. When you click it, what happens in adb? From my experience you don't need drivers to acces "adb sideload" (as the feature is called).
Yes I see the option.
--------
Now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "adb sideload <filename>" ....
---------
I made the backup build.prop earlier to /sdcard on the device. Maybe that was not a good idea.
Oke whats the next step?

Oh, I thought you had it on the pc, I am not sure but can you do "adb sideload /sdcard/build.prop /system"?

That don't work. I get the help of adb when I give the command string. Do not know how this will work with a USB connection. How should Windows and adb know when to get the input from?
when i try adb usb, it start the daemon , but then error: closed
adb devices -> 0123456789ABCDEF sideload
Oke maybe a reflash stock ROM. How does this work?
Again I appreciate all your help.

You get error closed because you're in sideload, I realized that you can't move files in adb sideload. If you want to flash stock ROM, download this and move it to the adb folder and type "adb sideload nameoftheimg.img".
Hope that helps

I will try that of course, but the same image I previously put on SDCARD, inserted it in the bay and dis an update from external drive. Then a message came that hardware was not compatible with the update. I can not find a flash for MA-327 and (again) not for the USB driver. But I will try what you suggest.
I get the error: cannot read 'MA347ENMEG3EV02.img'
Image is 1.744.423.512 size

If you have a sdcard that is large enough for the image (minimum 4gb) you can download win32diskimager. Open win32diskimager and select the .img file. Then, connect your sdcard to your pc and format it to fat32. Then locate it on win32diskimager and write the file. This will take a very long while so please be patient. Once it's done, put it in the hisense and attempt to boot. The android "bios" will go through all the nand memory for a bootable image but since that wont work, it will proceed to check external devices (as far as I know) and once it sees the bootable sdcrad it will, hopefully boot. Once you have booted, don't eject the sdcard, conncect the hisense to your pc and install the necessary adb drivers, then, boot into recovery and hit apply update from adb. Then type adb sideload nameoftheimg.img.
Hopefully that works
Oke. But if it boot from sdcard, then it will not install the img from sdcard?? I though it would.
What are the 'necessary adb drivers'?
And when i give the command "adb sideload nameoftheimg.img, will it get the img from sdcard OR from PC?
So the image is on SDcard AND on the PC? I do not get it (sorry)

Not as far as I know, I could be wrong, it could install from it. As far as the adb driver goes this is what I meant, you manually install them. Yes, the image is on both the pc and sdcrad.

Hello (again)
It will not boot from the sd card. I formatted it FAT32, used Win32DiskManager to write the .img on it, place the sdcard in the hisense and booted it. Press ON. System will not boot on sdcard. Instead it boot from disk. I see the same logo as before, Hisense Smart. It ignores the sdcard.
Booted it in recovery mode (with inserted SDcard). ADB sideload xxx.img, gave same answer: cannot read MAxxx.img. Other option in the recovery mode like update from external image (i hoped the sdcard) does not work either (can not find any /mnt ect file).
How can I force to boot from sdcard? Is the sdcard now bootable (with win32diskmanager). I used Rockchip Create Upgrade Tool 1.43 also, but this app crash when it want to write to SDcard.
No luck with me till now. Is my device saveable at all? Why does it not see the sdcard?

It is saveable, can you give me the link to the .img file? The fact that it says "cannot read" might be that the image file is corrupt. Are you sure you are typing the right name? You can do adb sideload then type the first letter (if it is a big letter type it as big for example Achicken, type A, if it is aCHICKEN, type it as a) and hit tap, that will ensure you have the exact name and dont tamper with it as in add .img at the end.

Yes I always give first letter tap. This is what I typed
adb sideload M (and then tap) => adb sideload MA347ENMEG3EV02.img
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0Bwr18Lh81gvJazJXTGFQTnhDSEk&export=download
Its a rar. I unzipped it with 7-zip
I tryed also adb shell. But device is unauthorized and I get eroor $ADB)VENDOR_KEYS not set (even when I deleted .android in my users dir. Do not get any permission question on device also. My hope is still a bootable SDCard and image.
Thanks

Might seem crazy but check this out, try with your image then his image(s). Remember, booting from an sdcrad is extremely slow, It can actually take 24hours depending on the speed fo your sdcrad so before trying this I suggest you leave it for a day.

I waited for 48hours but nothing happens. Still the screen Hisense Smart.
So it will not boot from SD card and I can not external mount with adb.
When I go in recover mode I see message:
failed to mount /mnt/external_sd (No such device)
SDCard is raw formatted. Can not browse with Windows SDCard. Maybe it should be wrotten different so I can see /mnt/external_sd
Maybe you have a good idea this week for me.
