Have found an interesting post here : http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1010659

in the rev2.bat file it is indicating that a partition get error but img is usable ...

[_Rudy_]

Ok so I install CWM :

"nvflash.exe" --bl bootloader.bin --download 11 HANNSPREE_SNT10_4789_BACKUP\hannspad-recovery.img

here I install the recovery in partition 11 (partitions.txt say me that it's the SOS partition)

with hannspad-recovery found in this thread.
all is ok, keys home and back works thanks roebeet

Next step : install a new custom ROM

[delicious_cake]

_Rudy_, can you please upload the files you could rip? I'm really desperate looking for the original files, as mine is pretty much bricked and I just need the official firmware...

[_Rudy_]

you put cwm(roebeet one) in the good partition, you launch cwm in boot. You mount usb mass storage, put initial update.zip in sdcard root. In cwm you launch update process.

Yesterday I have try the illuminate ROM, not work for me and my tablet was semi bricked. With cwm and initial update.zip I can have my initial configuration

[delicious_cake]

Can't do that, as I don't have a good partition.

[_Rudy_]

What's the interest for you to have my img files if your partition is KO ?

After my try about illuminate honeycomb ROM my tablet was semi-bricked (error message during boot -> no os boot, no recovery boot ...

nvflashing the partition named "SOS" by the hannspad recovery provided by roebeet let me the possibility to put official update.zip in the tablet memory and then to launch the upadte : after that my tablet boot on tnt os.

After that I put BoS ROM (6.0a), and it's work fine (juste a data wipe after install). Honeycomb rocks on this tablet !

I think Cake's problem might be that they messed the partition layout when they flashed with the GTab stock files. What I think they need would be the bct and partition config (cfg) files taken from a working Hannspad.

[_Rudy_]

I have the bct, no cfg. By the way what's the command to get the cfg file? I don't see it ....

[delicious_cake]

That's correct, Evil Si.
I overwrote my partitions, which turned out to be a very, very bad idea.
Thinking about ordering a new Hannspad, ripping all I can from it, then returning it to the shop. Not a nice way, but...meh.

[Evil Si]

Rudy,
The config file should just contain the partition information in the format of;

[device]
type=nand
instance=0

[partition]
name=BCT
id=2
type=boot_config_table
allocation_policy=sequential
filesystem_type=basic
size=3145728
file_system_attribute=0
partition_attribute=0
allocation_attribute=8
percent_reserved=0
filename=part2.img

If you did the initial backup of your partitions you should have this information in a text file.

------------------------

Cake,
If my replacement Hannspad actually arrives I'll get the information you require. Unfortunately it's been sent back for warranty (faulty battery) so I don't know how long it will take.

[_Rudy_]

the file is automatillacy created ? I don't think so, there a cfg file but it the nvflash default one. I know the command to retrieve the bct file but the cfg ??

Edit 3:

For anyone interested I managed to get it rooted with the custom recovery and custom rom working, only issues seem to be the touch buttons like everyone expected.

It wasn't exactly rocket science how i done it, but here's the list:

1) Took roebeet's recovery.img and replaced the recovery.img in standard CWM update.zip file with it
2) Rebooted into stock recovery and applied update.zip
3) Boot into recovery again (should now be CWM)
4) Do a full backup
5) I couldn't get BoS to install at all at first, so i tried gtab_comb and it worked

Note: At first boot it'll sit at a screen and say A N D R O I D for a few minutes, it'll then show the xxxxxx boot screen and in a minute or two you should be at the honeycomb lock screen.

At this stage you can either continue using gtab_comb or try installing another rom, note that you might want to clear data/factory reset

Thanks to the modified CWM I managed to install Flashback Honeycomb.

Runs pretty nice as far as I can tell by now.
Things I noticed:

Side buttons dont work (I guess this is a problem with all gtab roms)
Accelerometer (G-sensor) doesnt work
Light sensor doesnt work
Volume buttons are mixed up

Can anyone report about other Honeycomb roms? Are there the same problems?

Would be great if we could manage some development for our tablet.
Im not an Android expert, but Im willing to help as much as I can....

The sound through headphones seems to be a problem on Bottle of Smoke for me, no voices and a bit garbled, what's it like on yours?

and a separate forum would be nice, dont think we'd get one though till there's maybe a few more of us, but you never know

I am also stuck with a bricked tablet, i am in need of the original partitioning because i flashed some gtab files. Now: recovery and system is broken.

Who has a vanilla hannspad?

[alpha232]

Rudy's post (2nd from top of page 3) should be able to help you, you can flash the recovery image straight from your pc then install another rom

[thal]

hiya, thats what i tried.

sha256sum hannspad-recovery.img
317e309c2a6a8216436e7ede5853b81d96bcf4024f787bae8959aa8bcabc383f hannspad-recovery.img

i flashed it via
./nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 hannspad-recovery.img
(partition 9 is labeled SOS on my pad)
and also
./nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --download 11 hannspad-recovery.img
(partition 11 is labeled APP on this pad)

no luck. no recovery console.

Edit: It's a permissions problem, somehow when i wrote the guide my /system was already mounted as read/write, you need to do this manually like this:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

then run the copy commands again.

You'll need to redownload the google apps again, i missed something out in the last download.

I've updated the guide with a clearer structure and have actually written it step by step this time from a stock install, so hopefully it should be a bit more reliable.
