Hmmm... I can't say for certain as I've never experienced that issue. All of my files remain intact before and after booting into Android and rebooting into winmo. Are you talking about the files on your phone or microSD. If you are talking about your microSD, you might be experiencing the hardware issue and the while you boot into Android, it is only attempting to "fix" these issues and in the process, kills the files contained with-in. Does this makes any sense?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] phwang7:
Yes, the files are those I mentioned are in my microSD. So, yes, looks like some kind of interface issue causing Android to think the files are corrupt and then try to "fix" them. Strange though that WM does not try to fix the "errors".
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] R^7Z:
I think it's kind of like the linux way to make sure there won't be any issues when you run the OS, since Android would run off the microSD and not from the phones storage. Currently, there is some development for this called NAND. Still really nothing solid as to whether it will work or not but always good to know, I guess? :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] phwang7:
Well, the thing is those files are pictures/videos/GPS maps... so I think WM is able to read them (so not an error) yet Android does during its pre-boot scan. Anyway, since upon successful scan and android actually loads, it would freeze in 1-2 min, so the problem may not be limited to the microSD. Yeah, perhaps the NAND will work better. I did get Warm Donut to run on my old Tilt, so I am still hopeful.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] R^7Z:
The issue that is stumping me is that I'm not experiencing the same issues you are with XDAndroid and I'm not sure how else to help aside from using another microSD to confirm an issue with your current microSD.. sorry :(
[EVO Shift 4G General] dubs.law:
Hi: I'm a long time lurker here on xda-dev, but I'm a first time rooter and this is my first time posting here.

I appreciate any help that I can get, and I will try to be as descriptive as possible so that I don't waste anyone's time. You should know that I am running OS X 10.6.7 (which is 64 bit if that makes a difference). I know that it's possible to root from OS X because I've been in contact with a fellow xda'er about his success with it and my subsequent problems. You will notice from the screenshots that I have a bootcamp partition because I plan on installing Windows 7 at some later time. I think that this may be a driver issue, but really dunno why I would have this driver problem if the person who I know has had success with OS X 10.6.7 didn't have any problems. Not sure if this matters, but I am using this sdcard: http://amzn.com/B003WGJYCY

Things that I've done that you might ask me if I've done:

-Debugging is on (I've toggled it a few times too)

-temprooted with Visionary

-Extracted the Shift file to the root of my sd card

-Checked the md5 of the file in Shift using Terminal emulator (it matches what the guide says it should be)

-Reinstalled the SDK

-Reinstalled Visionary

-Re-Extracted the 'Shift' file to my sdcard.

I am trying to root my shift following this guide : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932153

I have installed Android SDK and for have installed the packages that you can see in this screen shot: http://oi55.tinypic.com/2dvimb6.jpg

I then temprooted using Visionary: After a few failed temproots, I did get a successful temproot, which I am verified by gaining SU with the app Terminal Emulator.

I open up command prompt and do the commands that you can see in this screenshot and as you can see after ./adb shell I get "error: device not found" : http://oi51.tinypic.com/2ztcymt.jpg

As you can see, I can open adb, but the adb shell command returns an error that no device is found. I've also done this: http://oi51.tinypic.com/264t6o5.jpg

So, what do you think?
[EVO Shift 4G General] dubs.law:
i forgot to mention that my phone is in charge only mode when I execute ./adb shell
[EVO Shift 4G General] Michael61182:
is it connected to a 2.0 USB port?

Also have you tried restarting your phone and mac?

I also saw on another forum that Superuser had to be uninstalled then try temp rooting again.

Also are you keeping an eye on your phone while trying to gain su access? You have to click yes when it asks if you wanna give permission.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
You could always try rooting via terminal on the phone. That's what I did, no PC involved.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] dubs.law:
Thanks for your responses.

I assume these are USB 2.0 ports on my 2010 MacBook Pro. I've uninstalled superuser a couple of times, but when I use terminal emulator to check if I'm temprooted, it shows back up in my apps list.

I have never had the option of giving adb superuser permissions, but yes I have kept my eye on the phone to make sure that the phone wasn't requesting this.

@jesusice -- even though I did the md5 check on the phone, I never thought of rooting the phone through terminal emulator. Would I just follow the directions from the guide, and just input all of the commands into terminal emulator? Anything else I should know about if I try this?
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
That's what I did. Had been waiting for perm root so long and was so excited I couldn't stand to wait until I got home and just put the commands into terminal on the phone. Just make sure that you input all commands EXACTLY. It was recommended by others to do it from desktop so you can be sure and copy and paste the commands so as to cutdown on errors but I'm not sure why... I can copy and paste from the phone :) It's just kinda a pita.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] dubs.law:
Does the phone have to be plugged in the wall or into the computer at all to do this without a computer?
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Nope.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] dubs.law:
So, there is no adb commands, you just flash the "eng spl" , correct?
[EVO Shift 4G General] dubs.law:
I rooted without a computer. Thanks!
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Awesome! I was coming on to tell you I don't really remember all the details as it was a long time ago and that I couldn't help any :-p

Exciting doing it from the phone, right? The fear of bricking is fun :)

[Nook Color General] detonate:
I had my 1.1 NC rooted using the GMPower method (there's also the monster rootpack?). I once tried to install CWM from the market but that caused an infinite reboot into recovery. Since then, a lot of things changed and I'm clueless on how to proceed especially with CM7.

I would like to install CM7 but which method is applicable. I found two:

I appreciate any help.

This link may help: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=960542&page=16

Second link in your post for installing CM7 on SD card.
[Nook Color General] nicatronTg:
I did that, infinite loop. When I install CM from the sd card, it installs fine, but as soon as it reboots, it goes into CM 3.0.0.5 from the internal memory. Should I just wipe /boot?
[Nook Color General] olm3ca:
definitely don't wipe /boot or it won't boot up. So what process are you following exactly? You created a bootable SD card with CM 3.0.10 right? You'll need that for a ext4 system (which CM7 is). That's step #1 in the post nthesame already linked to. Then copy the CM7 .zip (the one for encore final, should be about 90mb) to the SD card and install it using CM recovery (install .zip from location on sd card). If you do this, it will boot into CM7.... make sure to remove your SD card though after installing it, as the default is to boot to SD if it finds any boot files on it.
[Nook Color General] nicatronTg:
I used an 8gb image from one of those running 3.0.0.6, not 3.0.0.10, so I'd assume it was good.

It used to be a dual boot, but I removed that and just tried to overwrite stock with no success.

When I tried to install first, I followed the wiki to the tee, nothing.
[Nook Color General] thisoneguy:
I just got my nook today, and am about to start the process tonight... but from what i have read so far, your trouble may be that you used CWM 3.0.0.6 vice 3.0.10... seems something was changed to stop the infinate loop...
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Following is the NVFlash procedure for installing ClockWorkMod (CWM) for those

people who are having boot loop problems (or other problems) and need

to install CWM by flashing rather than by using /sdcard or a microSD card

via /SDCARD2. No apologies -- this is written so even the new folks can use it.!

1. You need to get a copy of ClockWorkMod v.8, which can best be done

by downloading through the following thread. Also, you might check the

thread for related info -- it's a good one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010943

2. Once you have the CWM files, go to your NVFlash directory (or whatever

you call it) and make sure you have the right files in it.

-- Nvflash.exe and related files (nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip) from

the original NVFlash Recovery thread.

-- USB drivers (also from NVFlash Recovery thread. If you already are

flashing via APX you should have them installed.)

-- The file "nvflash_gtablet.bat" from the NVFlash Recovery thread.

-- The CWM .img file (next item will tell you how to get it.)

3. Next you will need to extract the CWM .img file from the .zip file you

downloaded. First, extract the files from the download -- you should get

a recovery folder and an update.zip. Now unzip the update.zip file and

you will get a file named recovery.img.

4. Rename the file "recovery.img" to "part9.img".

5. Now edit the file "nvflash_gtablet.bat to make the command line read:

"nvflash.exe" --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 part9.img

The command line above for the .bat file does require the quotes around

nvflash.exe!!!

Or you can simply leave the other .bat file alone and create a new

nvflash_cwm.bat file and put the cwm command line in it if you want to.

6. Boot your tablet into APX mode using power/volume - (you will have a black

screen). Connect the USB cable from your G-Tablet to your PC. If you check

the little USB/green check icon on the PC toolbar (bottom right corner of screen)

you see an APX connection listed.

7. Go to the NVFlash subdirectory on your PC and run the .bat file to load CWM.

8. When the flash is done, use the USB/Green Check icon to disconnect from

the PC and then disconnect from the G-Tablet.

9. Shut down and the boot the G-Tablet into Recovery Mode by pressing

Power/Volume + and hopefully you will see the word "Android" and then the

green CWM menu will appear."

Now you're ready to do whatever you need to do with CWM.

Hope this helps.

[G Tablet General] qipengart:
This suggest that NVflash tool is more versatile. Not only can you flash the stock ROM but also the recovery and perhaps other ROM's as well.
[G Tablet General] holzy99:
Thank you for the post. It worked wonderfully. It saved me from having to buy a sdMicro card that I would not need otherwise.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
holzy99,

NVFlashing is most useful -- but it also is useful to have a microSD card handy.

In the Q&A forum you will find a similar post I did on how to install CWM using a

microSD card in a pinch. When you need it, you need it!!! :)

on the PC or on the Gtablet?

Sticky thanks for putting such a detailed guide and appreciate that very much. I followed your guide and i am stuck at the NV Flash started. I believe that I had a confusion while editing the nvflash.bat. I edited the NV Flash.bat as following:

"nvflash.exe" --bct gtablet.bct --setbct --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 part9.img --create --go

@set /p batuserinput=Press enter to continue:

Please let me know if I an making a mistake here.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:

You were very, very close. The command line needs to be \

exactly what was in the Procedure:

According to the guide on the cyanogenmod website (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Viewsonic_G_Tablet:_Full_Update_Guide), they do not mention anything about nvflash. Is that really required. This is the first time I am modding. Thanks

Problems with NVFlash

Ok so I have CWM and BL 1.1 on my GTab. I would like to move to BL 1.2 so that I can install a 1.2 Honeycomb.

I also only have access to linux.

So I got the Linux NVFlash tool. I try to get into APX mode and that just boots me into the CWM recovery. NVFlash does not find my GTab.

lsusb shows:

Bus 004 Device 031: ID 0955:7100 NVidia Corp.

Then when I try ./nvflash_gtablet.sh I get:

Nvflash started

UnKnown device found

Done!

Nothing happens.

What am I missing? Has anybody found a good Linux how to?

Thanks

edit

Figured it out.

It is power and volume -
[G Tablet General] rvsuper8:
Yep same problem for me.

New gtab 2.1

Followed cyangen install instructions in the update guide and there was no mention of differences between 1.x and 2.x platforms. SO of course I put a 1.x CMW on my 2.1 platform. Cant boot into recovery. Can boot into the god aweful stock rom.

Followed the NVflash instructions. Installed drivers.

One interesting note is that after finding the apx device, pointing to the drivers, and completing the install (windows of course), there is no apx anything in my drivers lists.

Im in desperate need of getting CMW on this thing.

THanks for you help.

This is probably SC-02C in japan with NFC/infrared and TV tuner (Xperia ACRO)

[Xperia Arc General] commodoor:
I live in Netherlands and here is no interstate (yet) and you have to wait to see it succeed. The system has to be secure. Anyways i think that you wont miss anything big with nfc nowadays maybe over a year or two after heavy testing. Just my thoughts

[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
SC-02C has all those but then they said it is only for Japanese market since people use all those features like Infrared and TV Tuner + NFC? but look @ it, its certainly ticker more like X10 but still alot nicer and I wouldn't mind buying it and not having a curvy back might be good(I haven't got the ARC yet but once I get it I can compare it with my X10 and judge it then)

[Xperia Arc General] refract:
Pardon me for my google ignorance.. but what is NFC ?
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
NFC.

It's not a Google-specific tech.

Nokia have been sticking it into odd handsets here and there for a few years, the new WebOS devices use it too.

Away from phones, an increasing number of credit and debit cards use it as well as the Oyster card system the London underground uses.
[Xperia Arc General] refract:
"Google ignorance" as in "can't bother opening google and searching" :D

[Xperia Arc General] ronniecross:
In terms of financial transfers, I really couldn't give a hoot's monkey; my collegue has an NFC debit card, but if I received one I'd send it back due to my own conclussion of risk involved, but in terms of the future of NFC and what ELSE it's capable of, it interests me, but I don't feel I'm at any particular loss. It's hardly the next Multi-Touch.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Right! haha :D
[Xperia Arc General] d_dan:
To be honest. I know both manufacturers and companies need to make the leap together to start introducing it but really. I would need to be able to use it in more than the train station or Mc Donalds before I would bother
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
NFC is more than just payments though, the possibilities are endless.

I think that, properly implemented, it'll dwarf the usefulness of multi-touch which, lets face it, is only really used to marginally-improve zooming in and out in the web browser.

NFC tags could be embedded into almost anything and could be used for almost anything.
