[ROM] Gentouch78 Rooted v0.3 (for v1)

[cpg716]

Did you do a data and cache wipe in Clockwork first? I recommend doing it 3 times each, then starting from scratch. Install Linc modified v3 update, then linc's update.zip, then do Market fix.
You shouldnt need to do a new gmail account.

When I hold down the back button and push reset windows trys to install "Android" the command prompt does nothing still waiting for device. what to do now? Already downloaded the usb drivers from Augen's website. I have XP if it matters...

Make sure the files are in C:\OS
Trigger the update.bat
Press the ~ button and press in the reset button at the same time once it's triggered on the dos prompt screen release the reset but keep pressing the ~ until the screen shows it's applying the updates. Then let go of it (~)

On the XP system make sure you don't have any AV running, other USB devices running except the keyboard or mouse.

Google servers were acting up yesterday. I already have Gmail account which I use on the Market. All the caches should be wiped I use CacheMate Pro

I don't get it unplugged everything except keyboard and mouse, disable antivirus, it is in the C:\os folder, I hold down back and then push the reset button, keeping the back button pressed the tablet turn on but nothing is on the screen and windows "found new hardware" comes up saying Android as the device. I installed the drivers from Augen's website. What am I missing? Thanks for your help.

Do you have another system you can try this on?

1. Turn off the Gentouch
2. Make sure you have the update.bat in C:\os
3. Connect the USB to the Gentouch to the PC
4. Run the update.bat
5. Turn on the Gentouch
6. Press ~ button and use a paper clip and press the reset button once
7. ~ button must be kept press in until the progress starts to update like shown here in this video under XP 32-bit USB drivers.:

Which ROM are you trying to load by the way?

 

[Carbira1]

the one that you posted on page one. Trying again.

I thought that I would try to install the drivers again and the install gets stuck on searching for device drivers.

ok..sorry first post but been following for a while. i followed all the steps in the initial post and everything went fine. i did the final reset and after it loads the only thing i can get is the little green bulls eye you would use to set up the screen. i have wiped data and cache and still nothing different. really sucks because i was really hoping to finally use this paper weight.lol

Need to have applied all the patches from Augen then install this one on the first post. If you skip out then, you'll have to go back and make sure you have all the patches.Those instructions on the first is from the Author. I just added what I had encountered myself install the Rooted ROM version 3. I never did any cache wipe prior only after ROM was installed using Cachemate Pro PowerClear, that's it.

Ok.... This one is weird. I posted earlier that even after following the instructions in the beginning of this thread and then implementing the Non ugly Market hack I still had no working Google Market. Well, last night out of nowhere the apps that said "Starting download" actually downloaded. I was happy. I then went to watch some TV. When I got back, I tried to download some other apps and this is what happened. It went from "Starting Download" to "Downloading" but that is it. I left the unit on overnight as I was testing an alarm clock app. When I woke up I checked and the apps still say "Downloading" yet nothing downloaded.

Does anyone know what might be wrong? Why would it begin working then stop like that?

Thanks
John

No you do not. Just pickup linckraker's v3 patch from slatedroid.

It's Augen v3 patch + restores original apps subsequently removed by augen + market fix(cache) + clockwork mod + root + removes a few useless apps. (This installs the same way as an official Augen fw update!)

Then for market get clockworkx's non-ugly market fix from slatedroid

Um.. You don't get to clockwork that way.. Get to clockwork by going into recover mode. Hit the reset or power on while holding the HOME key on the back of the device.

Also, when you are getting the green bullseye, can you not complete the calibration? Thats how the new system starts, its no an error.. You go into calibration mode right away after doing factory reset.
