    I'm desparate with this tablet (in terms of changing firmware or even recovery).

    I'm stuck with stock 2.0.1 (that's what it came with) and after lots of trial & error, I managed to root it with Kingo ROOT (rerified by Root Cheker).

    Installed Mobileuncle MTK Tools, backed up my IMEI and that's it. I cannot update this recovery.zip, neither install Riley's (custom) ROM.

    Whenever I try to, I only get errors from the original recovery menu:

    When I try to upgrade via Mobileuncle, the system reboots I get the belly up droid "No command.".

    When I try via (stock) recovery, I get "Error: Partition table not match" for update.zip and a plain belly-up "Error!" for Riley's ROM.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Note that the above errors were identical even before I rooted, that's why I used Kingo. I also used several different MicroSD cards, from 4GB to 64GB, same results.
