Stuck at the birds = nvflash time. Just read up on the nvflash for Windows (I assume it's Windows) posts in the TwoTapsX thread, at the bottom of the instructions.

I personally have done 3588 stock reversion, but of course I only have a single device. But nvflash to 1105 bekit has yet to fail on me and I've done some really nasty things to my device.

In the TwoTapsX thread, I re-re-altered the caveats stating that you MUST have nvflash experience to use it. It's really a requirement, at this point. If I could, I'd make the ROM nvflash only and I'm still working on doing that.

Getting Windows to Recognize GTab When Doing NVFlash

One step some using NVFlash on Windows may not be familiar with - took me a while to put this together from various instructions - is how to get Windows to recognize your gtablet. You have to do this before you can successfully use NVFlash. The step-by-step directions I use:

Open Control Panel

Open Device Manager

Under USB Controllers - should see an unidentified device

Right click on the unidentified device and choose "update Driver Software"

Browse to where you have placed the usbpcdriver

Then click next and you should see the USB driver install

Shortly after Windows should identify your device

Then you can double click NVflash_gtablet.bat

Hope this will help some of those who may be having NVflash problems on Windows.
[G Tablet General] P00r:
I too believe issue are related to user space, I alway find the device more stable if I nvflash then partion the 2gb space either after or before nvflash (since some recovery don't offer it)

I also have issue running quadrant with most of the rom, it run then crash not sure if I am alone.... anyhow thanks for the any different rom you support, it's fun to try them all!
[G Tablet General] robhoerning:
I can't nvflash...the laptop wont recognize the tablet when usb is connected. I have tried on 3 different laptops with xp and win 7.
[G Tablet General] robhoerning:
that would be so nice if it said that but can anything be done if it doesn't say that and won't recognize the tablet?
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
robhoerning:

Take a look at the following thread on USB and where to get it and how to set it up and how to use it.

For the whole nvflashing process, use roebeet's STICKY in Developer Forum on nvflashing. It has the correct files and procedures.

I've ran 5.0.0, 5.0.1 and now .9.0.2 and I've never nvflashed anything. So... I've got the sdk and everything needed for screen captures on a netbook running Win7 but my desktop (I'm more comfortable with linux) runs Slackware 13.1. Which system should I 'nvflash' from if I need to?
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
I always use Linux for nvflash. It's much easier.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Same. It avoids all the USB driver headaches.

Btw, TwoTapsX is pulled again - just the links, not the actual thread.
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
This is becoming ridiculous, why ban something just because some users are stupid? I just flash all the rom here, from gadam, vegan, tnt 5 and back, i suffer the flashing birds syntom, the magic mismatch number, the exclamation sign, and ALWAYS, ALWAYS I was able to retun to a full working tablet, always using windows 7 32 bits, not need of adb commands, just a matter of doing this propely and read the instructions. This thing is unbrickable. If some users don't know what they are doing, so refrain of doing, but don't stop development just because of them. I recommend you to move to another forum with users more mature and responsible, and mods with less tendencies to pay attention to little cry babies users.

You work is what makes the gtable usable.

Thanks for you contribution roebeet.
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
I'm seriously starting to think about offering a mail in service to fix "broken" tablets. There is money to be made here!

It isn't necessarily all due to user error. The problem is the flood of requests for help on IRC if I'm understanding this properly. I've spent several hours trying to duplicate the various troubles and unfortunately have not been as successful as I would like. Which means there may be something else going on for some of these folks.

It would be interesting to know how many people had to do additional formatting, partitioning, etc. to get their devices back in order and what ROM they were on before they attempted the migration.
[G Tablet General] Ronin916:
I totally disagree with the main body of this. I've been running NVFlash since December 2010. I've used TnT Lite 1.0 - 4.2, Vegan Tab (both the standard and Ginger versions), Calkulin 1.1, Adam and BitTeix Ginger. The only time I ever had a problem was trying to get TnT Lite 5 stable. I could load it, but it would hang after 5 minutes of use and would force a reboot of the tab. Not anybody's fault, just one of those things.

I decided to run the Format.zip, thinking that if I wiped everything and started with bekit's 1105 that might solve the problem. After running Format.zip, my tab wouldn't power up at all. I ended up having to crack the case and jump the K2 circuit to get my tab to power up into APX on my Win 7 64-bit machine.

In short, I know what I'm doing, I followed the given instructions and I still ran into issues. Luckily I still have the TnT Lite 5.0 and TnT Lite 5.0.1 Supp zips saved, so I can keep trying to figure out why it hangs on my tab.

But to even suggest that, because someone runs into a problem and looks for a little guidance is "stupid" or a "little cry babies user" is absurd. The forums are here to find help when needed, regardless of your skill level, and all the devs are to be commended. But it shouldn't be exclusive, and people shouldn't be afraid to ask a question (although we all agree you should try a search first). Everyone has to start somewhere. You were once a n00b too, and you would do well to remember that.

When Roebeet brought up the question in another thread if he should pull TnT Lite 5, I voted to keep it available. But with all the new info, and thinking about the fact that this is based off a unreleased VS build, I honestly believe that suspending TwoTaps X right now is the smart thing to do. It may not be the most popular decsion, but it's probably the right thing in the long run.
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
Well I can unbrick your table if you need it's only $200 for the service. If you are so dump to do thins to your tablet without reading the instructions, pay for it. It's like buying a car and change the air filter, oil, or whatever without reading the car dealer instructions, if you broke it, it's your fault and you pay for it, not blame the car dealer for it.

I'm just tired of too much whining." Boooh Boooh Boooh Boooh mod take that rom down, it hurt my little gtablet, boooh boooh. "
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
I've thought about doing the same a couple of times in the past. I agree there is a $$ opportunities, but it goes against the spirit of this community, especially since many of us learned from the great developers and folks on the forum who took time to personally help others by documenting the procedures and steps that benefit the entire community. The best thing we can do is to share our experiences to help others.

The biggest feedback I have for this community is that it can be hard (maybe not for me exactly, but I can see this can be an issue for others) to find relevant and meaningful (referring to point-in-time) information on this forum. Other forums do a good job organizing the standardized procedures into a How-To wiki that is easy to find and reference for non-technical users. I'd love to start putting some ideas together, it's just a rough time for me right now with some major production implementations on the horizon. On the flip-side, this is a technical forum, and there are other android forums that are gearred to the non-technical user, so I can debate both sides of the coin. The reality is that there are many enthusiastic folks, both technical and non-technical, on this forum who love their gtabs, who want the latest and greatest features, and are willing to spend time to implement the ideas and customizations provided by the great folks here. So, my feeling is that we (as participants in the community) can make a difference by documenting our successes with a non-technical user in mind. I'm sure many folks on this forum have had positive experiences that can be shared and leveraged to make the experience on this forum more beneficial to the rest of the community.
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
I'm running 5 right now, not problems, not hangs, not fc. of course I did a cache format, dalvik-cache format, and I didn't needed to format my user data o repartition, or buzzard commands. Move from TnT 5 to gadam 1.2, from there to stock to TnT 5 again. No problems here. If I got stuck in the birds screen it was my fault for trying to skip a step, or forgot to delete caches data.

THIS IS XDA-DEVELOPERS, NOT A KINDERGARTEN. If you don't want be responsible for you messing with you device, don't do it and get out the hell from here and go back to viewsonic web site . Stick with the stock rom and don't touch anything or better return the tablet to the store.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
A few people have written the same - also, why do other ROMs that are even riskier get to stay, whereas this gets pulled?

The problem is the user numbers - 1800 people downloaded TNT Lite 5.0 before I pulled it, and hundreds downloaded TTx in just the few days that it was around. This is why we tried to reduce the number of users by cranking up the warnings and calling it "experimental". But when the IRC kept getting clogged with problems, there was some power user backlash so the mods needed to step in.

As we all know, once you are on this build you are good. But a LOT of problems with the pre-req and actual install. The pre-req problem really bugs me as they are a lot of users who are now so far off the beaten track from stock that they cannot seem to get back, and I personally think that's a big cause for concern.
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
Roebeet, I don't think your Rom is riskier that others here. I really did everything to brick my tablet and was impossible. What a bout Vegan 7, or Gingerbread, the are more alpha release than yours. People here tend to panic when they see a black screen or the a flashing one, for them I only have a word: Return the damn tablet to the store, you're not qualify to drive a tablet.

Thanks for all you effort and I really sorry this supposed "developers" forum has treat you so bad. This forum has just become a whiners support forum. Feels so bad.

By the way you CWM version for TnT 5 worked great, was Rom manager who was messing things. I just didn't follow your instructions to the letter. :rolleyes:
[G Tablet General] Ronin916:
Good for you....you get a cookie.
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
Yeah 10 post. I'm dangerous now

....and this is gonna be my post number 10. Yeah now I can beat the hell of at the developers sub-forum. Be careful with me :D
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
Talk to early, I need another one :p
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I've also mentioned this in other posts, but this is only temporary. Viewsonic is going to release something soon, and whatever is it I will port it. So it will either be TnT Lite 5.1 or 6.0 (old bootloader), or TwoTapsX 1.0 (new bootloader). It all depends on the vendor.

If it goes TTx 1.0, I don't know what XDA is going to do - that's something that will need to be discussed when the time comes. I'll test the new build and, if it's still the new bootloader and causes problems, then they need to make a quick decision on every single mod that exists here.
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
I feel that banning you rom is like banning Google's honeycomb rom, just because people don't read the warnings.

I pretty sure VS is gonna go with the new UAT, and for users that are not in stock 3588 they gonna charge for repair the unit since you have void the warranty for changing rom. It's your problem, that's the VS opinion. So a lot of users here will start to cry, he he, and some mod s here gonna eat their hat for being so narrow mind...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I think there's a chance they might backpedal, only because of stock users. I've tested stock 3588 which works for me, of course. But I also tested 2967 and that does NOT work. I'm not sure which ROM is the minimum requirement for this new bootloader to be installed, but the oldest ROMs are a problem.

It might be why they've delayed this. But if they can find a way to support old ROM users (ie. maybe code the OTA updater to update them to 3588 first as a "gateway" ROM), then they will likely release the new bootloader.

I've already warned one of the mods here - if VS releases this new bootloader, then they are going to have major problems. Imagine a user who gets a new device, updates to the latest stock ROM (new bootloader) then tries to install TNT Lite 4.x (which needs the old bootloader) -- it will brick their device. It's going to be fun times.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
Post the links again and all those who want to go down this path can. Have fun and understand that the tools to backpedal from any bricked device are provided in the original post.

It is the sole responsibility of those who use this experimental, non-released bootloader for any result (positive or extremely negative) they receive.

It's out of the kindness of someone's heart that they decide to help someone resolve any issues resulting from improperly doing this.

XDA is not responsible for any actions you perform which brick your device. You have been warned.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
Enough discussion on whether or not the links should be posted, etc. This thread will be closed as roebeet will be re-posting the links and there's no longer a need for this thread. Thanks for all of your involvement in the XDA community.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] NovaPrime:
I'm thinking about putting together some kind of usb console-like controller with a mounting dock for the Atrix. It wouldn't be outrageously bulky and would provide pspesque functionality. I don't see why games couldn't be coded to use the gamepad input, and most of the code for the device driver should already exist. It would be great for emulators and new games. Does anyone think this is a good idea?

-Nova
[Atrix 4G Accessories] zanzee:
Should work fine. Youd need to make the joystick self powered and send 5vdc to the matrix with an OTG adapter. I'd suggest trying to use the controller from a USB keyboard that would maximize compatibility.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Whipon:
Excellent ^^

This sounds like a great idea. Couldn't find any good bluetooth gamepads for the Atrix. All of them are just controllers, and I want something that holds the cellphone so I can play when I'm traveling.

Can you please tell us how is this project going?.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] e30andrew:
im glad someone else brought this up as Ive been thinking about doing something similar as well. Ive modeled a few desk docks for the atrix so far (still in the process of being machined) but a game pad would be cool.

if you need any model help, post some sketches and id love to help out on this.

Atrix FTW!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] tush:

[Atrix 4G Accessories] Mgamerz:
I don't know if n64oid current supports physical buttons besides zeemote.

Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] theraizen:
i've found that with:

adb shell
input keyevent [number]

You can act like you have a physical keyboard. Maybe can be useful to someone!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] WiredPirate:
Ive been using emulators + Wii mote with the Atrix, the classic controller works too. It would be awesome to be able to play other games with it also.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] pgunning1:
Ive tried wiimote & zeemote but none of them work with 3d shooters apart from quake etc. Could the app be written to take over the on-screen thumb stick & firebutton, as the keyboard & mouse don't even do this.

Thanks
[Nook Color General] dvrdwn:
pros and cons of flashing a rom onto device or run from sd card?
[Nook Color General] dvrdwn:
am I asking this question wrong?
[Nook Color General] victle:
I guess this question has been asked several times. It's very easy to flash back to stock and the NC seems to be unbrickable, then I think you can try both to know which one you like best and get your asnwer by yourself.

Regards!
[Nook Color General] xdabr:
I'm very much a newbie (haven't even USED the NC yet), but:

Pro: SD card approach is extremely clean; you can leave the stock internal "eMMC" ROM alone, UNROOTED, and boot off it again at will, just by removing the SD card.

Pro: You can boot off different Android distributions as easily as swapping SD cards.

Con: Many people find SD card booted operations significantly slower. The sweet spot seems to be using a Class 6 card? (Class 10s are faster but not as many good reports from what I've read.)
[Nook Color General] danger-rat:
I don't think you will realistically see any difference between class 6+ cards. I doubt the Nook itself can perform at true class 6 speeds, so the card isn't the weakest link...
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Anyone here have NoDo on their phone and able to device unlock it? My brother picked up a Sprint/HTC Arrive today and it won't let me connect to his phone to unlock it. When I open the registration tool it just says "Unable to connect to phone. Please check that the Zune software is running and that Zune's sync partnership with your phone has been established." The phone is synced and everything. The WPConnect tool is also able to connect just fine. I have a Samsung Focus and was able to re-lock and unlock that device with this same computer. Did NoDo break the unlock tool? I know they changed some stuff to prevent the Chevron unlocking tool but did it also break the official unlock tool? Is anyone else seeing this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] PieOfJustice:
I think we will have to wait until we actually get the update since a very large portion of us hasn't seen it yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Yea, I know. Was just wondering if people with the leaked roms were seeing this. As of now the Sprint 7 Pro (Arrive) is the only device to officially have NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Loiselle:
From what I have gathered from various sources, NoDo has indeed broken the ChevronWP7 Developer Unlock Tool.

If your device is unlocked right now, it would be wise to hold off on updating your phone until a new method of unlocking the device is found.
[Windows Phone 7 General] webwalk®:
well this is about the official dev unlock

my guess is that it will need a newer version which is not public yet

so none of those guys who have lately buied a wp7 with latest software onboard cant start developing for that phone... bummer..
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Point:
I'm running the leaked Orange UK NoDo Mozart ROM and was just able to use the official dev unlock tool on my phone. Are you running the latest Dev tools?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
Yeah, do you have the January Update and the fixes?
[Windows Phone 7 General] malatesta:
I have an HTC Arrive with NoDo (duh) and it is developer unlocked.

Since I've had the phone for about a week now, I think I can explain:

MS's servers either did not recognize or rejected the Arrive for unlocking till Monday morning because I tried for days and it did not work.

Yesterday, I tried in the afternoon and boom...unlocked, no problem.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceeaser28:
and did you use the same Chevron unlock method to unlock it on the htc arrive?
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Chevron doesn't work with NoDo, hence it won't work on the HTC Arrive.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Navazka:
How unlock the HTC Trophy with NoDo? Please help me. Thanx.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceeaser28:
ok so my question is how did that poster get the the HTC arrive unlocked then?
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Because he is a registered developer and could unlock it using the official tools?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceeaser28:
oh ok thanks

I have the Arrive and was able to successfully register it with Microsoft. I didn't have to do anything particularly strange. Just followed the normal procedure.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jaygriggs:
Arrive

I left my tp1 with at&t and picked up the sprint arrive this week. Much cheaper bill and at&t is horrible in their speeds and seem to be getting slower in metro detroit. So before I bought the arrive I read that tethering is possible with some work so I figured I was set. Very sad by the news that I can't tether without spending more money. Bad enough Sprint now charges everyone with a "smartphone" $10 a month (isn't that 60% of the market???) supposedly to keep most peoples plan the same price. Hopefully a dev here will come to save the day:rolleyes:

Disappointments

-no sd card slot

-no front camera

-8mp cameras are in some phones and we're stuck with 5

-no file explorer and tethering
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
1. Smartphones are ~30-35% of the global cell phone market.

2. Those are hardware features that you knew before purchasing the phone, unless you are illiterate.

3. Yes, tethering is needed. File explorer, not so much.

4. If you want Android with a different skin (or Windows Mobile with a different skin, and I don't mean LITERALLY), you should have gone with a device with those features where you can just a different skin on it.

Sprint has two such devices: Evo 4G (even includes that 8MP camera that you think you need, but don't, on it), and Epic 4G (which basically has all the features of People Hub, etc. in TouchWiz, etc.).

But to come here and hijack a thread to complain about Sprint's service costs and missing hardware features on a phone you bought knowing it... Way to be disingenuous...
