...Well, the EBKT-101 and firmware tool are totally incompatible. The LiveSuit.exe firmware upgrade tool didn't recognized my unit and its firmware *.bin are not compatible with the RK28_DM.exe that is needed to write to my device. So this is a dead end!

In fact, I checked a lot of firmware images but they either were for 5" screens (and in Chinese) and/or didn't have the buttons mapped properly (D-pad down as the "Ok" button). I tried firmware v0.4.16: RK2729.img from the IMAGIN-IMEB5-update and P7BOOK20101019.img as well as firmware v0.4.10: Hyundai_HYV_C-700_v-1.0.5 and Hyundai_HYV_C-700_v-1.0.1 but no dice! They all "upgraded" successfully using RK_28DM.exe but were useless for this 7" 600x800 hardware.

In the end, I just reflashed the firmware I previously made from the 150MB hidden partition. I did this using UltraISO to open the Hyundai_HYV_C-700_v-1.0.5 firmware file and replaced it's contents with my hidden partition files and saved. It shows up as software version 1.0.0.0 boot code 0.4.16 and can be successfully downloaded onto another firmware's copy restoring the unit to it's original form!!!!!

If anyone requires a copy of that Next1 original firmware image, just PM me.

I did notice that the article says that the EBKT-101 has a resolution of 800 x 480 vs. 800 x 600 on the Next1.
It wouldn't surprise me if that's incorrect though, since a number of articles about the Next1 also gave an incorrect resolution of 800 x 480.

I'll be anxiously waiting to see what you can do with the EBKT-101 firmware.
Still waiting for the supposed Jan. 2011 launch/shipments of the Prestigio 3072B and the availability of any firmware files. Once users get that unit in their hands, hopefully they will create firmware .img files (as I did above) and ..... the fun will begin....
