- Thread starter Aries on an Android

There something wrong with your USB cable, or the USB port on the PC.
You can try my guide on the XDA Dev, it's not the V5 Froyo.

"GPS
If your gps is stuck in Shangai or not updating,
you need to reset the agps data with the gps status software
in the menu => tool => Manage A-GPS state
do reset + download"
Aries can you please break the up into bitsize chunks so I can understand. Is agps an app?
Really like the 2.2 rom but GPS stuck in China and market downloads gone very flakey ( is that the Adhoc problem?)

I am running Ubuntu and can't get Uboot tool to run. It only runs on Windows. Anyone know of a similar tool that can be run on Linux/Ubuntu?
Does anyone know if this will work on the Epad? Its basically where the company made a generic ipad, then another company took that, improved the hardware a bit, and put android on it. Its very generic but it is from China as Ive read some of your's are and also has the chinese keyboard. Its on 2.1 and its also 10.2". It may have another name, but the documentation is very vague and only says Epad. It look like a giant Ipod touch, has 1 usb out/flash drive, 1 mini usb, 1 headphone jack, 1 mic, and 1 sd card slot at the top. I hope this helps and hope I can run this, because what I have is very slow and glitchy.
With my 2gb SD card already setup as a 700mb rom flashing device, I went back to 2.1 because GPS didn't work and flakey wifi.
But then I tried a Froyo 2.2 rom in the XDA developers android forum and still got flakey wifi...but ...yey the GPS is now working.
So I've got 2.2 running fine with only ethernet dropping issues to bottom out.
But I don't understand what ADHOC network is and whether this is related to the flakey wifi. Have downloaded the GScript lite app but the instructions given in this forum don't make sense.
So can anyone advise on how to get stable ethernet/wifi?

I need a bit of advice. I was looking to update to the new 2.2 ROM. previously I have updated my FL2 to 3245 no problem at all. I have got original cable USB to USB. I have followed the instruction fully apart from doing a factory reset at start (I somehow missed it at that point and didn't know how to do it either) I have uploaded the old ROM, U-boot etc so my FL2 was showing the number 0.6.1.2 (587) in the corner and the old ROM started fine. Then I progressed to the new ROM with the updated RAMDISK. Again it went well, asked me to unplug the cable a restart. But then it got stuck on equalizer screen
I have then found that I forgot to do factory reset so I did clear cache and did factory reset and loaded new rom via cable again but the same result. Stuck on equalizer screen.
Any ideas?
SORTED!

I have the SuperPad and am attempting to Upgrade to 2.2 and am running into problems:
What works:
1. I have burned the image to disk using dd on both a linux box and an OS X laptop
2. Flashing stage 1 seems to be successful, though some of the progress bars stop at around 50%
3. The system reboots into the Green Screen and flashes twice.
4. The system seems to finish the Flash stage 2, and reboots.
This is where it all stops working. The SuperPad reboots to the Green Screen again and tries to flash again.
I have tried V4 and V5, and have attempted both sets of instructions, but am at a loss. Currently I have an unusable superpad, very sad.
Here is a link to a zip of all the .txt files on the SD card.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I am encountering the same issue, with the same hardware. Were you ever able to sort out the problem?
