the arnova 10d g3 can not be flashed with rockchip batch tools, because it does not have a rochip processor

Unzip to empty sdcard, shutdown your tablet, put sdcard in and start. updates alone at boot.

Can't you do like this?

How to update the software of your Arnova
1. Download the update file for your device « an10dg3.zip ». You can save it to the desktop of your computer for example.

2. Connect the USB cable to your Arnova and your computer so that the ARNOVA is seen as an external hard drive (as normal).

3. Copy the « an10dg3.zip » to the root of the device. Do not place it into any folder of the Arnova, just to the root level of the device.

4. Unplug your device safely as usual using the green « disconnect safely » arrow in the system tray.

5. Once disconnected, go to “Settings” application on your tablet, then “About tablet” and finally go to “System update”. Then, you just have to follow the instructions on the screen and select the firmware “an10dg3.zip”. Your product will restart. You must then go though the installation wizard. Not only will this process allow you to configure the basic settings of your player.

6. IMPORTANT: to ensure that your product is fully updated; please carry out in factory data rest. To do this, you just have to go “settings” > “Backup & Reset” > and select “Factory data reset”.

Warning: This will erase all data from your tablet’s internal storage, including your Google account, system and apps data & settings and downloaded applications.

Hello,

First I'm french, so sorry with my poor english...

I've installed the FW provided by doman 75, so it works fine and the metro theme is beautiful.

everything works except the youtube video in the native web browser (it worked with the original FW...)

but With Opera Utube Videos are OK.

Dash,

Dash,

Did you use the SD card method to install the firmware?

Yes I've used MicroSD card ton install it.

First rooted with Rootburner via MicroSD card then install doman's FW still with the Micro SD.

To doman75.

Thanks a million! Smile

For the first time this product becomes usable, even the Google play store works with this custom firmware.

Easy to install:

1.Unpack the an10dg3.zip.

2.Copy the catalog "FirmwareInstall" to the root of an micro sd card.

3.Copy the file "wmt_scriptcmd" to the root of the same micro sd card.

4.Turn off the Arnova Tablet, put in the micro sd card.

5.Connect the Arnova Tablet to a power outlet.

6.Turn on the Arnova Tablet and the installation starts automaticly

7.Take out the micro sd card when the instructions on the tablet says so, it will reboot.

8.Profit! Wink

Path is present but original.zip is not present anymore due to the fact it is not an Arnova anymore but an eken...

to go back on original fw, you have to put on sd card the fw available on arnovatech

As the tab is rooted youu can push on sd card apps via apps2sd.

What do u mean by "dan"?
