half-bricked my Scroll Extreme : don't know what to do next

Postby esteeven » July 24th, 2012, 6:46 am

Hello

Somewhat bored on Sunday afternoon, I decided to upgrade my Scroll Extreme tablet. I have been experiencing dropped network connections with it and a general sluggishnes. Seemed like a good idea at the time. I have successfully added a custom ROM to my HTC desire in the past - so I thought I knew what I was doing!!!!!! :)

I have managed to install 4.0.4 / Cyanogen mod. Stupidly, I used a nightly build (9-20120721-UNOFFICIAL-907) - it worked but it didn't (if that makes sense). I have no touchscreen. Luckily, a handy USB mouse has saved the day somewhat but I don't know what to do next. I have the compatibility .zip on my extsd but I have no idea whether this really is the solution and how to install it. I tired unzipping it where it is but, obviously, that did no good. I did hope for a minute though .....

I have since downloaded 2 .img files and placed them on my extsd but I don't know how to install either of them (they are from suggsy --- hopefully, that means something :) :) ) They don't appear when I power up and access ----whateverit'scalled---- by holding and releasing the volume key. I suspect I can only use .zip files form here as these are all I can see. Unfortunately, the other .zip files give me a signature error.

Can somebody please point me in the right direction? I've not been this stuck for a loooooooong time. I think I am secretly enjoying myself.

I can't install ClockworkMod Recovery from Play. It says it is downloading but it doesn't.

Is the such a thing as a zip file of the origiinal ROMthat I could install?

Thanks in advance.

Hmmmm. I should have read for longer.
This page sorted me out --- viewtopic.php?f=58&t=2457
Nice. My scroll is back. I just need to work out whether the RC zip that I installed is the latest and greatest.

I will stick with RC1, I think. It seems to be all that the official ROM is not. Only time will tell but so far so good. :D
