HELP! vold.fstab file messed up

Hi, I have an Eken GC10X tablet, and I was attempting to swap my external SD with my internal SD so I can have more room to download stuff. I followed a video called :

MEMORY SWAPPING: Changing Internal SD to External SD in Funbook Infinity P275



Sorry, I cant the link, but its on youtube just type that in.
Upon restarting my tablet, I went to settings and clicked on storage to see if it worked. However, once I clicked on storage, the settings immediately crashed, and a message popped up saying: "unfortunately, settings has stopped". I then went to the camera, and immediately it crashed as well stating: "no external storage available". My external SD card is in the slot. Thus, my tablet is not recognizing it. I even tried hooking my tablet up to my computer and nothing shows up. I have tried a factory reset, and it did not solve this issue.

I was able to download apps so I went back and downloaded the ES File Explorer app. Upon installing it I went to go check the volld.fstab file. I went there and rather than displaying the normal text that is usually seen in that file it displayed this:

Failed to open file (java.io.IOException
at com.estrongs.android.pop.cupcake.app.bt.run(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Thread.Run(Thread.java:856)

I have no idea how this happened. Also my tablet is running on jelly bean 4.2.2 Is there a way I can just re-install android? Possibly through recovery mode? Please help!!!
 
Hey jjyyll :)
Just wanted you know you arent being ignored.
If someone knows something about that device, theyll reply so theres no need to bump the thread.
I think the problem youre going to have is that manufacturers of a device like that dont tend to publish a factory image and there isnt any 3rd-party developer support.
I hate telling people to "google it" but thats the only thing i can suggest until someone replies :(
Id try searching for a forum that supports that device if Android Forums doesnt have one.
Good luck jjyyll :beer:

If you can reflash the firmware, that should fix it

Ok so I tried doing this, by first going to the recovery mode on my tablet. Then, I downloaded the firmware from their site and put them into a flash drive (my tablet has a USB 2.0 port) and once in recovery mode, there was an option called "apply update form TF card". I select it and my flash drive shows up, but the file is not there. I might be doing it wrong I'm not sure. I am currently looking into sideloading it from my computer, but I have not done that before so it's taking me a while to figure out. If anyone has any solutions please let me know!
 
YES! I fixed it! I'm considering making a video in case anyone else has this problem. But in a nutshell. I basically downloaded the firmware from their site, burned that file onto my SD, and booted it through my SD card and it reformatted everything.
 
Excellent man! Glad you got there :beer:
Yeah you should do a vid or write a guide to help others in your situation. Thats the android way ;)
