OK that sort of seemed to work. Here is the screen print. The only problem is when I rebooted the tablet it just sits there and spins on the word Android.View attachment 9050

What else do you have on your system?

 

[hagsmich]

Still says Android. It looks like it installed everything, I just hope it boots up fully and gets past the word Android. I will wait patiently

 

[hagsmich]

Nope it's stuck on ANDROID. It just sits there and spins. I reset it again and it gets stuck on ANDROID and doesn't boot completely.

adb shell

su

reboot-recovery

factory reset

install 9042_joenarsu12.zip

I am uploading a version with gapps installed

The tablet was brand new when I started monkeying around with trying to root it 5 different ways. I didn't put much else, I didn't have time.

 

[hagsmich]

OK done. The tablet is working better than before the first joenarsu install. My internet is back up and the gallery is there again. OK, what's next?

Hopefully this one gets it done.

9042_gapps.zip

this goes on your micro sdcard and flashed through recovery.

I don't think you got a good install the first time.

you have two choices try what you have been doing manual gapps install or install the 9042_gapps zip.

I'm downloading now. Was Joenarsu.s rom rooted or do I have to go back and root?

[hagsmich]

Superuser is on it. Don't i need root to install gapps?

the kernel ie boot.img is rooted

 

[hagsmich]

It's sitting on the Android word again. Just sits and spins. I will give it a little more time.

 

[hagsmich]

Nope it's still stuck on ANDROID. How long does it take to install?
