Guest dennissingh99 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hi man, you got the link for that OTA update as a zip file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flipper_Al Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Dont understand the question I guess that's how the OTA update comes down.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrrog Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I think this error is caused when the update does not find the precise apk it is expecting, have you rooted and deleted blinkbox? I think you need to return to stock ROM and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flipper_Al Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Yes rooted, and i expect i removed blinkbox..... :) Is there a link to the stock ROM.....? I have tried to run adb-windows reboot bootloader, but i just get device not found, im thinking usb debugging is not enabled If i can stop the device trying to load the OTA, im sure i can get it back up and running Edited March 1, 2015 by Flipper_Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iain26 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 the update seems to have failed before its flashed anything, it should reboot normaly. just hold the power button in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flipper_Al Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 No it wont, data has been wiped, therefore it needs to connect to wifi, then by default, it checks for updates... which fails If i can find a way of stopping it checking for updates, i think i can recover it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 You could also flash one of the rooted images posted by Paul in the pinned thread - that would ensure your files are correct/ restored. Just a thought, something I've had to do before (adjusted the build.prop etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flipper_Al Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Tried reflashing, but the device is not seen, i guess developer mode and usb debugging is not enabled :( :) Edited March 2, 2015 by Flipper_Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Well I'm fairly sure in the (prob) rooting thread someone explained breaking out of the forced looking for updates during the inital setup process.

Guest Sparkey159 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I had that problem with my Hudl 2, There seems to be no way to fix it. Your best bet is to go to your local tesco and hope they will give you a new one. Lots of people have this problem (Even with unrooted devices). Tesco tech support online don't help at all, they will just tell you to do all the usual things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Will have a look :) Here you go Flipper_Al, have a look at this post #396 by Normola, he's shown how to break out of the initial forced update at the end of the first time install. Once you've broken out of the forced update screen and enabled developer mode etc etc, I'd flash the most relevant rooted image supplied by Paul in the 1st post of that thread. This way, you should end up rooted and have all the original files restored in the system partition. :D Sparkey159, these hudl2's are more fixable than people (including Tesco Support) think they are - obviously this relates to software issues only - hardware failures are hard faults. :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flipper_Al Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 BOOM..... she lives again :) :) :) :) What a cracking little "hack" to get back into it Many thanks to all those who took the time to post/help ATB Flip :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Archie Godfrey Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I uninstalled the keyboard prior to this happening to me. I don't think even Normola's thread can help me now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
