The upgrade program no longer see any flashable images on the sd card. I can access the android os just fine but can't upgrade or downgrade. I also have not been able to boot into recovery (held button after plugging in until green). Any ideas? Has anyone else run into this problem?

You may have to flash the recovery that they sent me..
You could try to use a program from Market called ReBoot to recovery also it might pay to have the Chainfire - SuperUser apk apk installed..

If this doesn't get you to recovery then you might be suffering the same fate as me. which means you should read through my last few posts and the saga I had with it. You say you can get in to your android O/S which is good, but it would pay to check your partition details as per the picture I have posted. this is to check that when you flashed the upgrade you didnt get some sort of screwy partition thing going on (which I had).

here is a post by "davider" back a little where he got a fix for his HDD auto-mounted correctly on /mnt/sda1, I flashed these files myself yesterday and (note its 4.1.2) but it has corrected my partition table and I can see all partitions correctly now and so can my software.

here is the recovery I got from them if you need it..
recovery.img

1. Copy attached file to your SD card or USB disk <<<<<<< Leave it as a .img file..

Quote:Also if you are going to downgrade...

2. Change both files of firmware 4.** you are going to flash from .img to zip.
Copy firmware 4.**. files to SD card or USB disk.

3 Press and hold the upgrade /reset button on the box
4.plug in power adapter
5.Keep holding the button for 5 seconds.
should flash the recovery and reboot in to it.

Then follow the next steps ...

1: Wiped everything 3x
2: install update http://www.geniatech.com/down-eng/androi...130704.zip
3: wiped everything 3x

Important Step as confirmed by Geniatech...reboot...

4: booted.. came back to recovery..
5: Wiped everything 3x
6: Install http://www.geniatech.com/down-eng/androi...ng_hdd.zip

This should bring you back to a nice clean state with partitions back to how they should be.
Worked for me..
