Hi
I'm new to the Android tablets, I brought a Flytouch 2 for my daughter, set it up for her and ran the updater. An update downloaded but the tablet wouldn't reboot into recovery so the update wouldn't apply.
This is how I solved it, I take no credit for this it is other's work I am merely listing the steps I went through so others can do the same. Credit should go to Scotch on this link
Flytouch2, installation du recovery custom
1) Root the device, I used UniversalAndroot, google search from the tablet and download the apk or follow this link
Software2Tech.com » Download Universal Androot (You'll need to switch on USB debugging before installing. )
2) Run Universal Androot and follow the instructions, device will be rooted.
3) Search the Market for superuser and install
4) Download this file (flytouch recovery.zip) to your PC and save it somewhere you'll remember where it is
5) Download the Android SDK to your PC and install
6) You need to add the platform-tools directory to your path to enable adb to be run from any location by
8) On your flytouch navigate to settings, wireless & networks, wifi settings then click on the wifi you are using and copy down the IP address (in my case 192.168.1.64)
9) Press windows key plus r
type cmd
10) In the console that opens navigate to the sdk tools folder by typing CD followed by address (in my case CD C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) and hit return TIP if you use explorer to navigate to the folder you can copy the address as text from the navigation bar and then paste into the console with a right click
11) connect the pad to your pc with a USB male to male cable
12) type adb connect followed by the IP address you copied down earlier - you should get confirmation that you are connected
13) Now you can try the following; find the file 'flash recoveryflytouch2' in the tools folder and double click on it, a new console will open and the programme should run automatically, however it always failed for me at 'unable to open /dev/mtd/mtd2 permission denied'
14) This is what I did,
14.1) open a new console
14.2) connect using adb connect
14.3) type adb shell
14.4) next to a $ type su
the next line will show# (i think this shows you are in superuser mode)
14.5) next to the # type push recovery_rd.img /sdcard/ and hit return
14.6) then type flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_rd.img and hit return
14.7) and then reboot recovery and hit return
14.8) type exit
15) the flytouch should reboot and you'll get the recovery menu; reboot as normal and when you get an update ready notification in the menu bar open it and follow the instructions, the device will reboot and the update will applied.
16) Root your new device, reload everything (using titanium back up if you took that step) discover the registration code has rubbed off the back of the pad (b*gger)
