Hi,
I've get a Arnova 9 Gen 2, and i decided rooting.
I installed the arctools, fallowing the intructions to do that, but when i want select the firmware, it don't find any.
I unistalled the app, re-intalled, put old versions, update, reset the tablet, but arctools keep having the same problem.
Any idea?
Thanks

If you're looking for an Android 4.0 ICS firmware for your Arnova 9 G2, you can check here: http://www.arctablet.com/blog/featured/arnova-9g2-custom-firmware-upgrade-ics-google-play-root-face-unlock/

but you'll need to flash it with a Windows program, everything is explained on the page.

If you are just looking for a custom Android 2.3 firmware with Google Play, it's not normal nothing is showing up in Arctools firmware page. Can you check what's written on the "Device:" line in the firmware page ?

Cheers.

you allready have ICS on your tablet
The Stock ics that is provided on the tablet does not offer you acces to Google play, a custom firmware offers you that, and also other enhancements.

As globula_neagra said, your Arnova 9 G2i has already Android 4 ICS, so the best option is getting the custom ICS firmware from the link in my post #2. The 9 G2i should have the same hardware as the 9 G2, so installing an Android 2.3 Gingerbread is technically possible, but it's probably no much use.

The fact you have a 9 G2i explains why there is no firmware listed in Arctools, as the device isn't supported by Arctools, yet.

Cheers.
