I just bought an Arnova 9 G2i Android Version 4.0.3 ICS Kernal Version 3.0.8+. For its price, is a grand little tab but I need to the full android market and root the thing properly. Now the problem I'm having is when i put it into download mode (which was a pain in the ass) my window 7 pc can't see the tab. I am trying to use the Rockchip RkBatchtool which has drivers for win7 for the G2 but the tablet is looking for G2i Drivers. Anyone ??? HAte to just have to use it as anexpensive Frisbee.....!!! Thanks Guys Embarassed

The flasher tool drivers aren't specific to any Rockchip based tablet, they should work on your 9 G2i.

Checking the first two topics in the Arnova 9 G2 forum may help you to find the problem on your setup.

Cheers Admin,

Thanks for the prompt reply. Just to let you know i'm fairly ok at rooting tabs and phones. I have a couple of Samsung Tabs which I root at my leisure. The problem seem to be the PC asking for the G2I drivers specifically when I put the arnova into download mode and connect the connection cable. I've even tried loading the drivers manually into Win7 and still no joy. Maybe theres a way of letting the Arnova think its a G2 instead of a g2i..... or you have any other ideas. Has anyone flashed their G2i might be able to help ???

Cheers

I did flash the 9 G2i of a friend, it really worked like a 9 G2, or any other Rockchip based tablet.

Maybe you are not properly entering flash mode on the tablet. Also try to delete Rockchip drivers on your computer and reinstall them.

Cheers.

You should wait for the screen to turn black not for a droid or anything.

Embarassed got it. I was only holding the menu button to reset instead of menu and power...first root using kasty-arn9g2-40-04.zip was unstable. Browser won't open and apps would not start. gonna give it another go. Thanks for you help admin. Is there a dump of the original G2i firmware floating around anywhere to your knowledge.

Many Thanks
