hi blackhand
i to have a familypad that had this problem and am on with trying to restore
unfortunately i wiped mine and now am stuck
can i ask you if you have a original rom dump for this
if not
can you learn how to dump firmware before you do anything flashing with different firmwares
reason being there is
there is no info or firmwares for this and, arnova will not send a stock rom/img theres nothing on there website and support is rubbish
thanks sean

Hi Sean,
I'm afraid I'm in the same fix as you, the official website seems to have disowned the FamilyPad for newer models & offers no support.
I don't know about stock ROM or original ROM dump, what does this entail?
I'm afraid I've not been very helpful Sean, but if I get any more info from elsewhere I will inform you.
Regards blackhand
Hello,
You can try to get in touch with ARCHOS (the company which “owns” Arnova brand) thru Social networks: on Twitter Tweets by ARCHOS and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Archosworldwide
Apparently it seems that route is more efficient that regular support for users to get their issues considered.
Cheers.

hi blackhand
not sure myself but try this first you are looking to something like this
(you will need a micro sd card min 1gb)
you need to get your device into recovery mode with the sd card in slot on side
make sure you have enought power in battery
make sure arnova is powered down by holding paper clip in reset hole on the side for about 10sec
make sure power plugs not in
hold the volume up (+) button and the power botton together
plug power in when you see it fire up to arnova white writting let go of both
it should go into recovery mode like this
do a backup 1st to sd card (you can go back and try factory reset after you backed up this did not work for me)
because i applied different firmware flash not knowing i lost my firmware
then you can try restore to see if works
if it does then could you let me know
then i was hoping i you could sent me your backup to try and get mine back up and running
thanks sean

you will have to create login but worth it
you want uberizer download
