hey mate im bran new to tablets as of today so sorry for foolish posts also i wasnt sure were to put this i think im in correct place now could you skip to the softwre bit please

this is for people still srtuggling for a way to enter flash mode on arnova 10b g3 i have 8gb version it works 100% every time for me.

1.  plug in power chord both ends. plug in usb, to pc and tablet, 2. with the tablet on (or were ever it crashes at if it crashes….poke in the reset button first keep it held in then a second later press and hold vol + button keep these both help in for 15 seconds. DO NOT RELEASE YET 3 Release the reset button ONLY do NOT release volume!!! 4. keep volume button pressed in till it finishes installing driver or till it gives you driver install error (i was on win 7 32 bit eddition) *you are not in flash/ recovary mode 5 upon error or even upon succesfull install of driver go to device manager and reinstall the driver that came with the rockchip flasher! 6. if all done succsessfull in the flasher software you should see ya device in dreen saying 1 you are now ready to flash.

software

now about this software if admin could help me id appriciate it…

first off i have flashed my device a couple of times with same result all succsessfull flash but… upon load it appears to crash/freeze at the initial loadup were ARNOVA appears in white accross the screen (seeming like a bad flash) with the power chord plugged in if you wait a little while *still on this screen and hold the standby/power button it actually jumps into the software and says would you like to shut down if you chose cancel you can continue using software/ device as normal. however upon reboot it still does the same thing again and freezes and you need to repeat the process. the problem with this is if you tyy this shutdown mrthod to access device with out the power chord it just does not work! and stays frozen on arnova screen,

also it maybe worth noting that initially i did not have an sd card installed. and the hdd although its 8 gb was showing as only 1.6 free and for somreason when you used an exporer on the device the folder labled sd was actually internal memory not the actual micro sd when i bought one.

i hope this is usfull to the admins or anyone else if i can’t be help.

p.s i also went from stock firmware straight to this one.

i've also tried going from stock to kasty-arn10bg3-40-042 (wich works flawless)

then from kasty-arn10bg3-40-042 to kasty_oma-arn10bg3-41-046-2G

still no joy.

quickly thanks for the time and effort in making this software possible it was awsome what i got to run pople like you guys are a credit to the world!

thank you

HI,

Very interresed for my 10b G3 DT (i suppose). How can we know our tablet is resistive or capacitive ?

Can someone provide me with the link to the previous firmware update (version .45) with the known battery and camera issues? I think the file is kasty_oma-arn10bg3-41-045-1_5G but I can't seem to find it on the forums anywhere.

Thanks!

Hello, will this still be updated, i have the version with the baterry issue, since i can't install the latest one, because it gets stuck on the arnova logo screen. So is there a baterry fix for this one please or an updated version of the rom that fully works? 

Btw i have a capacitive screen on my arnova 10b g3.

Thanks !

I'm also suffering from the Arnova screen issue. When doing nothing, it stays forever stuck at the initial screen. As for the workaround, when attaching the charger it sometimes goes away and boots normally.

When it's stuck it is possible to connect using 'adb' through USB. Haven't got the detailed error message right now, but when running logcat it seems to be stuck in a loop (and /mnt/sdcard is not yet mounted). I don't know enough about the Android boot process to fix this :/ I'll dig up and pastebin the complete logcat output if someone's interested.
