Solved - 7" model 51624 won't boot after firmware update

[gcb]

Cool clockworkmod here we come

Right we're getting really close now, just went through the command using fastboot-windows the same as the first part of the script and it does respond to them, does anyone have an update.zip or something I can try which will work an still can't get into the recovery console

Command I used was:

C:\tablet\SCROLL~1\Recovery>fastboot-windows reboot-bootloader
rebooting into bootloader... OKAY

next I ran this:

fastboot-windows.exe flash recovery recovery-clockwork-scroll.img
fastboot-windows.exe reboot

which works and reboots the device but still cannot get into the recovery console, any other img's I can try or even an update.zip which I can write to the device using fastboot?

[gcb]

Interestingly enough the 2nd script which uses fastboots successfully burns the image and reboots the device but it is still stuck at the white storage options screen so maybe I just need the correct image ?

Are you talking about the 2nd script by Warpedflash for clockworkmod? - If so you could try a stock recovery.img in that folder and make sure the stock recovery image file is called exactly this => recovery.img and use this 2nd batch file instead --> here - Good luck

P.S. You could flash any recovery image you like with my modified version of the script, as long as you call the image recovery.img - and have it in the same folder as the script.

What folder are you referring to, I gotta nip out now but if you could give me the link I will try it when I get back.

Cheers, really helpful stuff!

your scroll maybe keeps re installing the corrupt recovery image everytime you boot
you may need to delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh via adb then push the good recovery image again??
not shure but i think thats what kept happening last year on some versions of scroll

The folder where the original script "Run this Second - after it Reboots.bat" was, that you have already run. Replace it with my one and the recovery.img you want to use (it needs to be in this folder as it needs the other stuff in there to work, like fastboot-windows.exe etc)

Using an update....

This is not the issue here. - and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh would just put back the stock recovery - which in this guys case was fine. The issue is that he flashed a CWM version that is not compatible with his Scroll.

must have misunderstood the thread its been a heavy day
i thought that the install-recovery.sh file inside etc directory had to be deleted to flash a new recovery
im gonna have me dinner hmmn Pie

Download this, rename to update.zip, put it in your adb/fastboot directory on your pc

http://files.androtab.info/telechips/cm7/20111029/SCROLL7/SCROLL7-recovery-signed.zip
Run this....

Code: Select all

fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot update update.zip

Then

Code: Select all

fastboot reboot recovery

See what happens

If that doesnt work do the same with this download....

Hi Sugsy

Neither of the update files worked I got this message from both:

C:\tablet\SCROLL~1\Recovery>fastboot update update.zip
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt

and the command fastboot reboot recovery doesn't appear to exist I can either fastboot reboot or fastboot-bootloader which I have tried to no avail.

I wonder why the zips doesn't contain the above .txt files????

Follow same procedure

Code: Select all

fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If not.....

Hopefully we can get at least a recovery
