Installation instructions

You will need a computer and a working ADB connection to the custom firmware images as the Arnova 7cG2 does not ship with a accessible recovery.

These firmwares are specific to the Arnova 7c G2 and should not be installed on other devices. WE WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE. FIRMWARE UPDATES ARE USED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

You will find all installation instructions from setialpha in our forum.
The following video demonstrates the installation procedure.

Other developments

Dont forget to check DanielVd_ArndroidianiModdedROM, another great Arnova 7c G2 from DanielVd that offers root, wireless tethering and other goodies..

setialpha has prepared a package for all developers or firmware modders to help working with his firmware modifications: ROM creation Toolbox (GNU/Linux) rev05b [2012.02.12]

Thanks to setialpha, tremendo and DanielVd and all the testers for their amazing work.

For any problems, suggestions or just to thank setialpha, please check our forum.

Huge thanks to Cajl/Jbmm.fr for lending me his Arnova 7c G2 tablet for some time.

   Hi, I have an Arnova 7c G2, and now don’t start . After I push the power button he it start ARNOVA on the screen, after that, the tablet entry into CWM-based Recovery, but I can’t acces the menu, only I can move the option up or down. (Options: – reboot; – apply update from sd card; wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache partition; install zip from sd card; backup and restore; mounts and storage; advanced; power off.)

   Hi,
   I have a Archos Arnova 7c G2 3G model (the one with the mobile sim card slot).
   This article mentions the 7c G2, but does it cover the the 3G model.
   I don’t want to download wrong thing.
   Many thanks,
   Sarah

     That’s the right model, there is actually only one Arnova 7c G2 and it comes with 3G.
     You may also want to check our Arnova 7c G2 forum that contains guides and more recent firmware updates.
