Hello,

The method you referred in a video link (known here as Gerry's method) won't get you very far with Google Play/Android Market.

A proper Google Play setup requires some system libraries that needs root access or a custom firmware to be installed. We have made such custom firmwares for many Arnova G3 and one for the Arnova 7d G3 is in the works. We've been busy supporting other models as well and there are still few glitches to fix to get it right. We'll announce it in the forum and in the blog when it's ready.

Using the ChildPad (capacitive model) firmware should work as the devices hardware should be identical, but I don't think anyway has tried and confirmed it to work, yet.

Cheers.

If you like our web site, applications and firmwares, feel free to support our site. Donations are used to pay the bills for our server hosting costs, development tools and purchase new tablets to support.

Hi,

looks like that after bricking my 7d (on a first day! i'm getting better!) and absence of the official update image, i'm really interested in that firmware you've got so far (dump from the device will probably also do if I can flash it somehow). Meaning I can help with development of it.

Cheers,

Doo.

Hello, considering that your tablet is allready bricked, you could give a try to the childpad firmware, you have instructions for flashsing in the tablet in the link provided by admin.
you can also try to dump the existing firmware from your tablet using this guide

Given that all I can do is enter recovery mode with fastboot strangely not seeing the device but adb does - i'll try
