Hi everyone, A couple of months ago, I bought a Crystalview EP-4 tablet, to get me thru until I could afford an iPad. ;-) I rooted it to try and back it up, but forgot to try and get a copy of the ROM. Everything was working until a few days ago, it wouldn't boot up. If you turn it on, you get the Crystalview splash screen, then a Welcome splash screen and then it will get to the Android splash screen. At that point, I get an error that a process has stopped working. Regardless if I choose to wait or terminate the process, it will return to the Android screen. I have tried every button combo I can think of, but it won't get past the Android screen. Does anyone know if this unit is marketed under a different unit that I maybe able to get a ROM to flash to it? I have been serching the net and I haven't found something that is the same and I don't want to brick it! ) Thanks, Ted Here are the spec's: Features/Specifications: CrystalView E-Pad Touch 4GB 7-inch Touchscreen Android 2.1 Internet Tablet General Features: Black face, silver back panel 7-inch TFT touch panel (resistive screen, not capasitive.) 800 x 480 resolution Google Android OS 2.1 pre-installed Telechips TCC8902 720 MHz processor 256 MB DDR2 RAM 4 GB internal memory microSD/SDHC card slot (128 MB to 32 GB) USB 2.0 interface Integrated IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Built-in speaker and microphone G-sensor function provides orientation sensing Supports txt and pdf eBooks Supports various audio/video formats Supports various photo formats Built-in rechargable lithium battery Supports add-ons from Android Apps Store Battery Specifications: Lithium rechargable 3400 mAh capacity DC 5V @ 2A current Physical Features: Menu, Home, Back buttons on face Volume + on side Volume - on side Microphone on front Power/Sleep on side DC 9V input on bottom USB port on bottom USB host port on bottom Mini HDMI output Card slot on bottom [*]3.5 mm headphone jack Here is a picture:
Hi Ted, I also have the same model. Have you successfully connected with ADB or have Terminal Emulation running? If so, we can try flashing some of my backup mtds. I'm still a noob with android, so I'm not sure which partition is giving you problems, but I'm guessing something went awry in the system partition (mtd2). as far as a ROM is concerned, I don't think anyone has created one targeted for our tablet, but so far it looks like its a generic Telechips build, so possibly another ROM would be compatible, but I didn't want to risk it until I'm sure I could recover back to my initial state. If you have some ideas with that, please share
I am able to ADB into it, but I do not have a any backup or rom to flash it with :-( It will not boot, but I can get into the bootloader mode and ADB to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
