Its not even listed on the S.O website :|

If you can dump the nand blocks as mentioned in the other thread upload them, and send me a link to them via PM i will take a look at the firmware, build a livesuit image and see if we can squeeze it onto the system partition.

Make sure you factory reset the device before you dump the nand blocks.. I dont want any of your personal data.

@3stage, have a look here: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=2686 EDIT this is not your model. Sorry.

@Suggsy: Its listed here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Storage-Options ... B005TOXXSS

EDIT + This looks like the original Essential. I had one January with this exact spec. I believe the CPU is Telechips.
I sent mine back and got an Excel.
If it isn't broken then don't try to fix it!

Sorry to say guys but this is a classic consequence of having two threads on what turns out to be the same subject. :(

No harm done - I just hope you haven't bricked your early model Essential trying to flash the wrong ROM.

no, i couldnt install CWM for a start, so without some form of recovery it would have been foolish to jump straight to flashing
