Ok, i had to do a Factory reset in hope i could resolve my own problem, i lost touch control > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030617

Maybe someone has any ideas about that?

But back to topic, now i can confirm that doing a Factory reset will make Youtube app disappear from apps screen.

I haven't tried to install the Youtube 2.1.6 yet, as i have a bigger problem in my hands.

EDIT: I installed Youtube 2.1.6 using ES File Explorer, checked Setting > Applications and had Uninstall updates button there, clicked it and now Youtube works (i didn't restart). Only problem is that the Youtube widget is 4x1 now.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
I found a fix for the 4x1 Youtube widget also :)

I did another Factory reset to see if this fixes my touchscreen problem, of course it didn't, but i lost Youtube again.

So i searched on Google for YouTubeTablet.apk and first result was the right one (I'm not sure if i may post this file here, so i'm not posting it).

I downloaded the YouTubeTablet.apk to my PC, copied to my Xoom Downloads folder, opened it with ES File Explorer and installed it. It did show me "Not installed" when it finished installing, but when i did go to Setting > Applications > Youtube, i had "Uninstall updates" button there, so i clicked it and now i have the original Youtube v3.0.15 with the 3x2 widget.

Hope this helps others with the same problem.

Still not having any luck with this. The factory reset brought the books application back to useable. But still sitting here with version 2.1.6 of YouTube. I found the YouTubeTablet.apk file, downloaded it and tried to install, get the "Application Not Installed" message. I think there is supposed to be a .odex (YouTubeTablet.odex) file associated with the apk in the system > app folder. can anyone verify the existance of this file in their system > app folder along with the YouTubeTablet.apk file? If so can you make it available?

Thanks

Steve--

I got the file from the above link.

Downloaded it to my PC and copied it to the XOOM. (download folder)

Then used EStrong to open and install.

Re-boot immediatley and things were fixed

--Dave
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spollock:
Thanks for the reply Dave, I have done that process umpteen times and still end up with version 2.1.6 on the Xoom. I have the WiFi Xoom, and it is rooted if that makes a difference.

Can you look into your system > app folder and see if you have anything there Youtube... anything... ??

thanks

Steve
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
spollock, it shows 2.1.6 as installed? Do you have "Remove updates" button?

I didn't restart at all. I just installed the tablet version and removed updates.

If you use the 2.1.6 version, you will end up with a 4x1 widget.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrt-racing:
Sorry for the confusion.

I'm at the office and don't have the XOOM with me.

I swallowed my android pride and bought an ipad 2. I was debating on returning it for a xoom since there is no jailbreak and without that it's basically a paperweight to me. After reading this thread I think Im just going to ride it out a bit longer.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spollock:
It shows 2.1.6 as installed and there is no "Remove Updates" button.

I don't intend to use the widget so it does not really bother me at this time... just want the 3.0.15 version back...

Thanks...

Steve
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
I'm afraid you have to do another factory data reset. This should remove the 2.1.6.

Then install the YouTubetablet.apk, then remove updates and all should work.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starfinder19:
Same issue - with a twist.

Factory reset x 3 dident do anything.

Clear program data/cache dident do anything.

If I use Astro File Manager and search for "youtube" I can find the original youtube.apk - Now, it actually claims this youtube.apk is installed - giving me an "uninstall" and "launch" button.

Uninstall results in "opertion can not be completed" type of thing, and the launch" button gives me "Activity not found - com.googleandroid.youtube".

I tried moving the 2.1.6 version to the Xoom and running/installing that, but it locates the 3.0.15 version as the "installed version" and 2.1.6 as the file version.

Thus, giving me the same buttons (uninstall / launch)...

Head.. meet wall...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
OK, you are using Astro file manager to install the apk? Someone already reported that this didn't work, so this is probably why it didn't work for you also. Use ES file explorer.

When you do a factory data reset and check the youtube version after that, what version does it show in settings?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starfinder19:
ok. No idea why this works. But... installed the old version with es filemanager. Then uninstalled the old version and the tablet version using astro filemanager. Then installed the tablet version using astro.. and now i have the tablet version of youtube...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spollock:
Got it figured out!!!

Found a system dump of the stock 3.0.1 in zip form. Found YoutTubeTablet.apk (1,077 KB) and YouTubeTablet.odex (1,026 KB)

Copied both to System > App folder. Uninstalled version 2.1.6 and rebooted. Lo and behold! There it is! Did not have to install.

Got it back like it was!

If anyone wants the files, I will be happy to stash them somewhere...

Thoughts??

Thanks for all the help!

Activate YouTube and Google Books on your wifi Xoom

Do Not Return Your Xoom

If you have had a problem with the missing YouTube and/or Google Books application, here is the fix that works:

1. Connect to WiFi network.

2. Go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications

3. Go to the "All" tab and then scroll down and select "Google Partner Setup."

Clear Data.

Reboot your Xoom. (That is, turn it off and on.)

If this doesn't work, perform a factory reset (Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset) and try the sequence above again.

Good Luck :-)

Confirmed Fix

I can confirm this works. Fixed my own xoom and two others this way. Got youtube and google books both working. I even went back to staples to buy a case for it, encountered someone returning theirs and fixed it on the spot for it. You would have thought I would have gotten a free gel caseing for saving them a return, but no... lol

Ended up here after searching as per this article's instructions. Worked like a champ!
[Droid X General] raziel36:
Okay, I'm about to SBF my phone, which is a major PITA. So I thought I should caution other members. I was on the Rooted/DeOdex'd Gingerbread release with the ALPHA1 theme and wanted to try out RubixBlurryBread. Rubix install went fine, and booted no problem. It didn't seem like an improvement over the original leak, and actually ran slower on my phone. I thought "No biggie, I made a backup before flashing Rubix"...... wrong. I restored my backup and everything went as it always does with a backup, until the bootup. It's a backup, a 1-to-1 match of how my phone was just 30 minutes earlier, this can't be happening, but I'm stuck in a boot loop. So, even though I hate the idea, I formatted the Data and Cache. Still boot looping. Grrr... Did factory reset from standard recovery, no help. Wiped Data/Cache and reinstalled the original DeOdex'd zip from TBH.. nothing is working, everything results in a boot loop.

Anyone have any insight on this? I really don't want to have to set everything up again. I'm going to SBF, but not going to set everything up again, until I know for sure that my backup is useless, for whatever reason.
[Droid X General] luigi90210:
just SBF, reroot, and reflash the GB leak

boot into the GB leaked than boot into recovery again

than advance restore data only

if this doesnt work than your back to square 1 with your data
[Droid X General] hanone:
You have to install the rooted version first then install the deodexed zip because I believe the deodexed zip only changes some system files, I did the same thing by mistake. So unfortunately you will have to SBF but when you get back up and running just remember to flash the root only zip first then boot into recovery and you can then flash the deodexed zip, hope this helps
[Droid X General] raziel36:
This is what I did last night, just before going to sleep. Thankfully, it worked, so only thing I had to really do was re-apply the theme and 180 LCD Density. Cool that we had the same idea :P but I'm still concerned about the backup not working, because I definitely don't want to make a habit of SBF'ing any time I don't like a new ROM, though I'm probably going to wait for LibertyGB before I flash another, and I'm fairly certain I will like that one :)

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, really appreciate it.
[Droid X General] myersjesse:
I tried to go back to my stock bg backup also. It went ok and started up but I got force close on all my blur apps. I couldn't get the fc's to stop so I also had to sbf and reload everything.
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
So i feel pretty stupid as i have spent so long trying to work out the problem and i have no been successful... without even a glimmer of hope :(

So i have read this article and followed the last users advice and downloaded drivers for a phone which is not my model.

Anyway the problem:

When i plug my phone into the machine whilst booted normally the only thing that comes up in the device manager is: USBC - USB Mass Storage Device

I get nothing whilst in fastboot

Things i have:

I have installed LGMobile update manager

LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN32AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.2.1

Android SDK

Windows 7 64-bit

My Mobile has:

1.6 standard rom

Device manager:

I have been told to follow these but i have no such things in my device manager (device name or anything in 'other') it is just completely blank.

Now any tips? i really hope somebody has had a similar problem and i am being a bit slow. I have spent the last 3 days not working and just trying to get this thing to detect itself in my computer... grr silly windows 7 ;)
[GT540 Optimus General] sanmit:
One more thing to add.

Dont forget to backup the rom after installing the clockwork recovery;)
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
Go into Settings and choose SDCard & Phone Storage, Untick "Mass Storage Only" This fixed my problem with ADB not working when I first got mine. Also,you don't need to reflash your ROM to fix driver problems.

Hope it helps,

Jack
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
He can't reflash the rom because his PC wont detect the phone.
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
cheers for the replies dude :D yup jack you are right comp won't detect it. Still uninstalling everything and disabling everything did get me a step closer i feel.

I have attached the problems i seem to be getting now.

[update]

So it appears to be working now... what did i do to get it showing up? Uninstalled everything and just installed one driver: LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497MA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0

and then i think the key difference and for what reason this works i am not sure but turning the phone off (as well as having usb debugging on and turning off sd storage) and plugging it into the pc from an off state!

O yes and i uninstalled the android SDK as well.
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
so like in the last post i said things were getting better i do believe they are here is where i get stuck each time now :(

Step Complete: DLOAD change

I have attached both my log file and a print screen of my device manager... umm just so you guys know thanks for helping out again ;)

*Install first the LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497MA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0.msi and then LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497MA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0.exe AS ADMINISTRATOR (all of them) just in case and then the bluetooth driver if you want, also is very important you install the drivers inside the LG_SmartPhone folder:

*Unzip the and install them , if you dont have all this drivers then download from here:

THANKS ARE WELCOMED!
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
cheers dude, well apparently LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497MA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0.msi won't installed on windows 7 64-bit. I have the same problem at home and now at work... :s the installer opens up and instantly closes. I have tried compatibility mode but all of the options are greyed out. I may give xp a try via a WM.
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
I have posted this in another thread so maybe this is naughty butttt.....

"So my pc detects the phone, i can boot in all modes but sadly my screen just won't turn on.

Put it into fastboot mode it vibrates and i plug it into the machine and windows detects it i can happily do a KDZ in emergency mode and that finishes. I go to re-set the phone, it vibrates but i get no logo's and nothing else happens.

I can also flash my system using the fastboot stuff.... Any ideas or more info needed :\

x"

Also to now when trying to use fastboot it will just wait for the device even though maybe 2 hours ago it was working :s maybe since i have tried the emergency KDZ rom it has stopped this working?

Clutching at straws?
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
well did you try to install as administrator dont forget the other drivers. i have windows 7 64 bits too in my laptop and it work great
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
I dont understand what is the problem then you say windows recognize it and you can use KDZ, fastboot state is that way no logo no nothing, just a dark clean screen, so thats is NORMAL. And for fastboot for the "waiting for the device" make sure you have all the neccesary drivers installed as i explained in the tutorial. There are other drivers for your pc to recognize you phone in fastboot mode.
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
oddly i can't run as admin at home or at work :s but... it didn't appear to be a problem as i got 2.1 installed. But i have no bricked my phone whilst trying to load system.img... i ran system.img from android 11 in the sdk folders... ooo how stupid am i :(

Any ideas on getting the phone un bricked :(

Cheers again for the help ;) i've been thanksing
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
Ye the problem is that it says finished... and then i go to re-set the phone and it just vibrates and nothing else... nothing what-so-ever on the screen. This has happened, i have use kdz many times and each time it has said finished successfully and i reset the phone and same problem.

All the drivers are installed as i have already used the fastboot to flash it eariler, but i obviously did something wrong there :(
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
hmmm ok are you flashing a KDZ in specific or you have tried with many of them?
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
I see you talk about flash KDZ and system.img apart ... what are you trying to do? dont play that way with your phone from KDZ to fastboot flash and viceversa many times cause you will brick your phone. there is more chances to brick if you want to go back from custom 2.1/2.2/2.3 to stock 2.1(flashed by KDZ).

So ok if you can access to fastboot (means you have flashed a ROM with fastboot) and flash from there succesfully try erasing everything you have posibly flashed in your phone to clean it all and lets see it if gets successful

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

now install custom 2.1/2.2/2.3 ROM. Stop flashing with KDZ . i recommend superfast froyo rom

fastboot flash boot.img

fastboot flash system.img (both .img should be inside C:\*SDK\tools folder)

fastboot reboot
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
sorry for the confusion dude...

I cannot use fastboot it still says wait for device, but i know i have the correct drivers. KDZ does detect the phone and also gets all the way through on the update on the euro+fast.

O yes and when it says finished and i take the battery out and try to start the phone it just vibrates and nothing else.

Have i tried any other kdz's? No i don't have a clue of where to download them from :\

Cheers again
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
Then the kdz you are using is the problem. There is a new post about rom 20E that is good in performance and works well. Download and flash it
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
I'm about to sleep now. Catch u a bit later. Flash Cis version. With this will check if your phone is not the problem
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
Ye cheers dude, only thing i can't download this at work... any ideas on any other kdz's? Just trying to get the phone back so i can then installed fastboot rom onto the phone. Unless now i have ruined it with kdz i'll only be able to use the kdz's?
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
scrap that last post. I have got the file and put it on my phone everything was successful. Sadly i still can't see anything on my screen... :\ is there some turn the screen off permanently trick :p

umm but no this is slightly annoying.

Any other thoughts i guess?
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
No you can flahs other roms but first your phone needs to get in fastboot mode
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
Hey have you tried this:

DEACTIVATE YOUR FIREWALL (windows and antivirus firewall)

Unzip and run the Updater KDZ msxml.exe from the extracted folder:

On the phone, do the following -> Preferences -> Applications -> Development -> Tick the USB Debugging

Check out the following -> Settings -> SD card and phone memory -> External Only Memory (not SECRET_, remove if)

——- Close everything you do not need on the computer .. Winamp, MSN, and similar apps ——–

PULL YOUR BATTERY OUT

Plug the USB cable (It would be better on the rear USB port, the front are often banana) TRY ANOTHER USB SLOT/USB CABLE if necesary

UPDATED

often various problems in the following procedure to update pref

in Device Manager, right click on the LG Modem Android and DISABLE …

LGE VIRTUAL MODEM

Start KDZ Updater (MUST right click and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR)

Select the following:

Select: type 3GQCT

Select the path to the ROM file (Open Europe who have downloaded, the name is V20A_00.kdz

THIS VERSION HAS BEEN TESTED AND WORKS WELL:

http://www.mediafire.com/?46l5eco53alpl6y

Start FLASHING device and wait, the phone will restart, it will blue screen and written emergency DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING …. When the update completes, the phone will reboot and start again and ask for a pin .. At this point, the update is complete.
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
Ok dude, followed all those steps other then the first few obviously as i can't turn my phone on and if i run it without the battery when it does the download it just seems to stop there so i put the battery back in. It said finished and now i am waiting for the phone to reboot... :s

but i have attached the log just incase you care to look
[GT540 Optimus General] t-c:
I had the same problem, followed the instructions to the letter, started the update came back 20 minutes later and the dialog on KDZ Updater indicated that it was finished but the phone was still in download mode and now won't pass the LG logo on restart.

Noob similar problem but different!

Hi... thanks for all your hard work helping fools like me out! I believe I have searched everywhere for an answer and would only post as a VERY last resort!

As a noob. I'm not sure if I should post this here, but I have stupidly deleted google talk and cannot download any apps.

I was hoping to do this manually via SDK, but cannot get my PC to talk to my phone, even using the original driver I used for the 1.6 to 2.1 upgrade. My LG GT 540 was working beautifully with Link2SD installed, before I tried to make it a little faster but deleting 'unused' apps! I'm such a wan*er!!!

I beleive I could rectify and missing software if only I could get my PC to talk to my phone!

Any help on this would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your time!

Karlos.
