I take it the other partitions backed up okay? Sometimes you just can't get it to backup partitions and you just have to count your losses.

Only partitions 13 and 14 give read errors, the other partitions backup succesfully as far as I can tell. For the time being I've removed partitions 13 and 14 from the RunME!.bat so the backup process skips these partitions. I've cut the system.img from the stock update zip file of which the link is provided in the guide, pasted it in the NvFlash folder and renamed it "part-13.img". In the hannsconf53.cfg file I've changed the size in the CAC section and removed the name of partition 14. This nvflash folder with all of its content I've burned onto a CD. When I want to return to stock this nvflash backup should now work, right?

Thanks again for the guide(s) and help :-)

I assume nvflash automatically detects that I've got a 1653 model? And that it is unknown what kind of personal data is exactly stored in partition 14? I don't mind if I lose personal data and return to completely stock, I just would like to know what I will lose before I do :-)

Hi all

Tablet has been running HannsTitan without issue for months, then last week I turned it on after it had been sitting un-used for a few weeks and it would not get past the green Hanns logo. Tried the reset button but still no good.... Found this post and thought I'd just restore to stock and start again. However having followed the steps in the guide my tablet now seems to be stuck in APX mode...

I downloaded the original image, moved/renamed the boot/system image files to the NVflash folder, edited the 53config file to remove the ref to image14 and made sure the file size for 12/13 matched the actual file sizes. The process seems to run OK with no errors (see below) but when I power on the tablet ir just boots back into APX mode?

Any ideas???

No need to rip any hair out ;-)
I overlooked the link the first time too.
There are actually multiple links to the update.zip file you're looking for in this thread.


Here is the link again:


UPDATE.ZIP





btw. I had the same problems with downloading the update.zip from the Hannspree website (see my prior posts on this), but I found out that the Hannspree website does work occasionally because I was able to download the zip from the Hannspree website a couple of days ago.

I seem to have got my Hannspad stuck in APX mode, how do I fix this?

I can't seem to turn it off and nothing happens when I plug it into my computer.

For anyone who has a similar situation to me. The solution was to let the button run out and it then worked fine after.

[forcel]

Lets try

[lowndsy]

I was recovering from a boot loop caused by installing Vegantab 7.0 - the bug which stopped the SD card from mounting. After much faffing I have managed to make step 1 work - thanks for a great tool, and thanks to everyone for all the comments and feedback that I was able to use to fill in the gaps.

I changed the file sizes in hannconfig32, removed the filename for part-14 and kept trying, and eventually it went through. The weird thing is... I can't do step 2, but the pad works anyway.

The pad still freezes on the green logo when I try booting into the recovery kernel image.

It does load into stock android quite nicely, and everything seems to work, but I haven't been able to load the recovery image (first stock, then I tried installing CWM with this tool).

Has anyone else encountered that? Where Android seems to run fine, but the recovery tools don't? Stock is fine for now, but I know I'll be wanting to go custom again soon!

Completely Destroy Your Tablet.

There may be times (such as selling your tablet, clutching at straws with a truly bricked tablet etc) where you wish to make completely sure the tablet is wiped as clean as you can get it.

Remember that even if the method works as it should (no guarantee) there may still be some bits,bytes etc etc of readable data despite this, but it should give you better peace of mind than the standard erase data function.

This method works in a similar way to both Sm0k3d0uT's G-Tablet format (it uses some of his partition files for this) and Darik's Boot And Nuke (D.B.A.N).

Basically what you're doing to the tablet is this:

1) Replacing all the partitions (except boot, recovery, system and cache) with those of the G-Tablet Format utility by Sm0k3dOuT.
2) Replacing the boot, recovery, system and cache partitions with customised partitions which solely contain files full of random data (thus making recovery of your files near-impossible).
3) Erasing over the SDCard with random data (you must do this step manually) which once again makes recovery of your files near-impossible.


Part 1.

1) Download these three files:

Part1: http://www.mediafire...h69zr38c6d0zuzp
Part2: http://www.mediafire...66mdrjnu9x4vvf7
Part3: http://www.mediafire...93ot52lhvz7ddjz

2) Using 7-Zip, open the .001 file, open the .7z within, and finally extract the .img files and randomtext.7z file into your NVFlash folder.

3) Go into APX mode.

4) On your pc, run RunME.bat and choose the destroy option.

5) Once it's completed, unplug the tablet and then boot it back into APX mode, then install the CWM boot loader.

6) Mount the USB storage so that Windows can access it, occasionally Windows will demand you let it format the drive before use.

7) Exctract the rand1-6.txt file into your storage space. Once finished, do another Factory Reset, and restore your tablet to stock settings as detailed in the other guide.

Ive tried this. But at the point after i installed the CWM from the runMe.bat, i onloy get a black screen. My Hannspad is not booting into the recovery mode. all i can do is enter the APX mode.

A BIG thank you for these guides. I'd not been using my VeganTab-based Hannspad for a while, preferring instead to use my Vega with ICS. I then tried all flavours of Honeycomb on my Hannspad, but all failed to logon to Google servers. I then tried the revised stock rom, but ended up in the CWM boot loop.

So with nothing to lose, I followed your excellent instructions and installed the Team DRH ICS rom, and it has put the Hannspad rightly back at the top of my affections, due to its vastly superior screen compared to the Vega.

Thank you for your great help to the forum, it is much appreciated.
