Despite the flash warnings, few users have bricked their Arnova tablet by flashing a custom firmware on their Arnova 8 G2 tablet (capacitive screen, 4 Gb storage model). It has been confirmed that these models do no accept firmwares from other models (could they be capacitive 8 Gb, or resistive).

Arnova currently does not supply the manufacturer firmware for this device so it's impossible to restore the tablet to a working state. If you own a Arnova 8 G2 4 Gb capacitive, please help us dump the firmware, so users with a bricked device can repair it.

There are some instructions on dumping the firmware in this topic: http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/arnova-8-g2/someone-has-the-arnova-8-g2-with-resistive-screen-1/

Thank you.
