Stuck on the boot screen and never moves any further. When I try to shut it down but turns back on again, over and over, and stays on for as long as it has a charge...
That seems rather annoying to have to do every time you restart the ****** thing. The permanent fix requires either root access via terminal emulator under the installed version of android, or running a remote shell on it with the Android sdk. I chose the latter.
As with all ASDK tomfoolery, start the adb server
adb start-server
Check to make sure the device shows up
adb devices
Start the required remote shell session
adb shell
Run the follow magic command to make everything happy again
echo boot ' dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0
And then reboot the device.
reboot
Testimonial: "This suggestion would have worked and it's appreciated but, as it turns out, it's just screwed and needs firmware I have no clue how to install. 'Guess this thing is just going to the computer recycler's..."
