The Arnova 7b G3 is an entry level Android 4.0 ICS Ice Cream Sandwich tablet, featuring a Rockchip RK2918 CPU, 1 Gb of RAM, 7" capacitive screen and front camera. We have built a custom firmware based on Arnova's latest firmware release from the 12th of July, adding Google Play/Android Market and full root with read-write access to /system partition.

We would like to thank technoboi and SupArnova forum members for their help with the firmware tests.

Arnova 7b G3 custom firmware features

Clean installation of latest Google Play Store 3.5.15, no more missing apps (Twitter, Facebook...)

Updated Rockchip loader to latest version (2.20)

Our custom firmware can be installed in two ways. The first method is the easiest and will let you have Google Play running in about 10 minutes. The second method erases all the data stored on the tablet, but uses a safer approach.

Please note this first firmware install method keeps installed apps and data on the tablet.

Step 1. Download and install Arctools from Appslib.

Run Appslib that can be found in the applications on your tablet. While in Appslib, search for "Arctools" application, you should get "ArcTools (Market Apps installer & Disk tester)" in the list, download, install and run the application.

If you don't have Appslib installed, you'll need to download it from appslib.com servers.

Step 2. Download firmware

In Arctools, go to Firmware tab, select "Arnova 7b G3 (capacitive model) custom…

How to enter recovery flashing mode on 7b G3 tablet?

--Found it !. While pressing the reset button using a pin, connect the usb cable the screen will then turn black then install the necessary driver from the Rockchip Batch tool drivers folder.
