It’s a fairly inexpensive android 9 tablet from Amazon. DragonTouch or something. Has never given me any issues. Meets requirements. I move applied tunes to my Thruxton before.
I heard back from the developer, and he suggested the process I ended up doing. When it prompts recovery, cancel. Reconnect and make it prompt recovery again. Do that until the prompt includes the “full recovery” checkbox. That restored everything back to normal. I had managed to get it to come up without knowing that was the process so I got lucky haha. I appreciate everyone’s suggestions and support. Again, I think the issue was the low voltage initially. Why it wouldn’t recover properly with appropriate voltage, I’m not sure. But if anyone finds themselves in a loop of failed recoveries, that’s how you get it restored.
From Alain himself:
Hello,
when the app ask you to do the recovery hit Cancel, repeat the operation until you have the checkbox "Fully reprogramming" in the Recovery request
Check this option and hit ok.
