I also had a similar issue and have now managed to get things back up and running by using the system.img you made available...so many thanks for that.

A couple of minor issues now exist....Firstly my tablet is no longer rooted....any ideas?
Secondly the scroll apps that were pre-downloaded have disappeared - Don't really care about this but thought I'd mention it....would like to get root back though.

Use "Superuser" app from the Google Play Store ;)

Tried Superuser, but it says

Checking current install path...Fail!
Failed to find currently installed su binary. Update cannot continue

Oh right, well that would mean that the "su" file is not in "/bin" and it is not symlinked with "/xbin", you may have to manualy push it.

I had a similar issue with the system.img suggsy made for me... no root :'(

However, I used his image to work out exactly what had been wrong with my original system image (busybox had been deleted from /system/bin) and reflashed and repaired my original broken image by copying busybox from xbin to bin - so a very similar issue to that symlink one

Can post the repaired image if anyone wants it?

Hia, I've got similar issues on my Extreme. Lost all apps and whenever I restart my tablet it like it done a factory reset. How did you flash your system.img to the tablet?

To flash, you need the system.img obviously, access to adb, knowledge of adb and its commands, you would also need to be in recovery mode with /system mounted via adb.

Explain what you did/changed/modified before you try any thing to fix it.

Maybe we can help?

Did you try a factory reset?
