Flashing back to stock
-
Has anyone flashed the JingPad back to stock? I have the application Research Download and the original .pac file plus another .pac that was complied to use open gapps. I have 16.04 (OTA-24) installed.
Following the instructions from JingPad company I get to the recovery screen as directed (this is the UB recovery screen) engage the Research Download but nothing happens. I've waited 10 minutes and tried this several times. Other people have reported that flashing back to stock works.
I am not sure what is necessary to do. Do I need to wipe some or all partitions? Factory reset? What state should the recovery application be in?
If it matters, I cannot reboot to bootloader from recovery either by adb commands or from the UB Ports recovery screen.
I am doing this in Windows because Research Download is a Windows app. In command prompt, the JingPad is listed as in recovery mode.
Developer mode is on.
What am I missing?

I flashed back to stock Android 10 that had been recompiled to accept open-gapps and NikGapps. I choose to use NikGapps. I have a working Android 10 that is compatible with Google Play Services and Google Play Store. I have installed Google Photos, Maps, GBoard, Mobi Office Suite, Brave Browser and others. I added Firefox via a downloaded apk.
This tablet is now a fully functioning Android 10. Sadly, as much as I support Linux this tablet will stay Android for a while longer. JingLing Linux is gone and UB Ports just isn't ready yet for my needs.

Have you considered selling it? The world is full of Android tablets, but tablets that can run UT are rare.

@moem No I don't want to sell it. I am going to keep it because I think UT will be very functional soon enough.
