Hi,

I have a strange problem with my Arnova 7 G2. When I power on the device most of the time it doesn't boot (stays stuck at logo), so I must hard reset the device. After few attempts, device passes the logo, loads android, but force closes all the widgets, leaving me with a black screen with only status bar showing. In other words, unusable. I would reload the firmware, but there's no firmware on Arnova site for 7 G2. What to do? [Image Can Not Be Found]

Thanks in advance!

Weird problem, similar things happened on some other Arnova devices like the Arnova 8 (G1).

There is not much to do for the moment, just wait for Arnova to release their official firmware or wait for a dump or custom firmware from developers (that should happen in not too long [Image Can Not Be Found])

oh, my Arnova 7G2 came back to me after 2 week sent to distributors to fix this error /blog/forum/arnova-7-g2/stuck-on-logo-strange-problem/

It's still Android 2.3.1, but i think it is not same the stock FW. the distributors installed some media app, game but it's very very smooth 😀 like Factory reset 😀

and WOW, my arnova have "mobile network" in "wifi and network setting"

I'm finding my OTG cable and will test it as soon as possible

Can you check your firmware or system version ?

See Settings / About device. Please post here the Build number.

Thank you [Image Can Not Be Found]

I am no expert but it looks to me as if they have given you a demo fw that has all stuff included. Maybe even root.

I bought my arnova 7c G2 in Dec 29 and its android 2.3.3

Based on his discription of what is happening, he has a faulty device. Bad RAM or something. It should not be that unstable stock ROM or my ROM...

Hellsgremiln, glad you are enjoying my ROM 🙂
Thanks for the feedback!

I had this problem and SOLVED it.....

Don't ask me why this worked - but it did!.

All sorts of resets didnt work and all I would have is the Arnova logo on a loop all the time - but it never booted.

First, you will need someone to help you.... as its too difficult to do this on your own.

Start with nothing plugged in.

Press the reset button with a paperclip. Hold it down.

Press the Power Button. Hold it down.

Keep them both held down.

Then get the other person to put in the charger in the USB port. Make sure its a wall charger and not just on your laptop or PC. (Dont ask why - just do it).

The power red light should be lit. But the Arnova logo should NOT appear.... thats good news. Leave it for 20 or 30 minutes to let it charge a little.... longer if you can.

Then, press the reset button just one more time... no long hold.

Power it on.....

Then it boots up fine
