SICKTGHT311: Re: Havent tried to flash via USB since i dont have a male-male cable and i'm not willing to purchase one to do something that the device should do on its own. Waiting to hear back from the seller (epadronics on ebay) regarding return address.

Perhaps I can help? ;)

I also sell these through eBay (although MUCH cheaper when dealing directly, since not needing to fork over profit to eBay--I share it with customers instead), and wanted to express understanding of your situation. I'm a US seller in direct contact with manufacturer in China.

If you do not hear back from you vendor, I'd be willing to try and help. They come with a one year warranty, and since I process many of these through our home, and have many happy customers, the manufacturer will not know where you bought yours from. ;) In other words, I may be able to setup a return for you directly with them and act like you bought it from me. :) If that is attempted and they want to receive from me, perhaps we could consider the same, but would cost more to ship through me as a middleman.

My screenname here is the same as my eBay store (matthewd7 -- or can email through any of our other 2 ebay stores as well: adf2679 or jcreality7), if you prefer to contact me through there, since I don't know if I'll readily find this forum again, as I just stumbled on it today. :)

Of the orders I've made from them, I've only had ONE MID(mobile internet device...what they call these pads) with issues....and it was issues like you are discussing here. Manufacturer is now in process of exchange. :)

Hope that can help you somehow & get you squared away soon, so you can enjoy these great devices!

All the best,
~James

pressed Power + Home + Back = "Press the required keys if you wish to perform a factory reset"
then lose the buttons Home + Back and pressed them again Home + Back
then the device came in recovery mode

Have you put the SD card with the update.zip into the SD slot between the USBs? That's the prmary one and the *only* one it will look in (When in recovery)
Are the SD cards formatted with fat32? I think this is the only format that works... It worked for me...

Hope this helps,
Richardo

Thanks

By using WinHex to make the card bootable, and then an update file supplied by my seller, I was able to get my Wifi back. However, its updated to dory-r2.1.925. This seems a bit slower than other builds. Does anybody have an update.zip for 1170 or another suitable build that I could try?

Cheers

Latest...I have sorted most of this out but still get an error message saying cannot create file

The system cannot find the path specified. C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\

Hi Guys,
I have been reading your forum and I too have a problem with my new FlyTouch II (SuperPAD). I can do a hard reset(Main Circle Button + Power + Home) But everytime after re-boot it stays on the Infotmic splash screen. Has anyone had this problem before? Does anyone know if I could still try the Tiff card option? Is my unit buggered? :(

Hi,

Can anyone help me, why my bricked Flytouch II (ePad) won't be recovered by manual flashing? (SD card flashing doesn't work, the tablet displays no picture, and only the green LED lights).

I downloaded BurnTool, and 1170 update, and connected the ePad to PC with USB cable (cable plugged into the top USB socket on the USB/Ethernet adaptor). PC recognizes, that there is an unknown USB device, but i cannot install Burntool's driver (32bit XP; it doesn't accept the driver for this device), or flash it with Burntool. (The status bar in Burntool window doesn't set to green).


Can anyone help me in this issue?
