I tried to flash the rom to my Nextbook 8 Quad Core NX785QC8G 7.85" tablet using RKBatch tool v1.7 but i had to first get into bootloader mode with cydia impactor in order for it to recognize my tablet. I first tested another Rom which bricked my device but was able to quickly restore with a KitKat 4.4.2 stock rom I had downloaded. When I tried loading your file I got an error message which said "failed to load firmware" any suggestions

ok I'm a noob at this, so I tried it again...carefully reading your instructions posted elsewhere after several attempts I successfully flashed my Nextbook 8 7.85" on KitKat 4.4.2 with v.1 two draw backs..no wifi and my model came up as a Nexus. couldn't leave well enough alone so I started over and ErasedIDB as well as flashed the Kernel you provided but this time using v.2 and when the tablet rebooted into recovery, I wiped the cache and data under advanced options. It gave me a choice to disable flash recovery and I chose yes. on the following page it gave me a choice to fix ROOT access and I choice yes. on reboot its looping at the OMA screen...what did I do wrong?

Download the pack from post #1. Instructions are included. Flash again incl. eraseIDB. Let the stock recovery format the user partitions. Later you can flash the CWM (both answers are NO).

The bridge is just the java part. Update the Xposed Installer.

Update post #1 with build v2.1.

The tabs bottleneck is the 8 GB NAND. So, I changed the mount points which will make up to 32 GB space available for apps and app data. The internal storage is now 4 GB. Also I touched the footprint of the build to make it wide compatible for apps in the Play Store.
