If you have 3588 and the enhancement pack, the update works fine. At least it did for me. BUT, it removes the Market.

Has anyone reinstalled the enhancement pack or market on top of the new firmware??
[G Tablet General] triggerftu:
I am having the urge to say no. If it is anything like other major updates then no.

I got caught in a boot loop after nvflashing. I didn't partition when I first installed VEGAn so those that didn't do that step you need to do that first before reverting back to stock.
[G Tablet General] robertm1771:
I had stock added a market fix and z4root I was at 3588 but for me I had two updates to get to the new version. I had to root again after each update for me stock videos play back fine. So far so good.
[G Tablet General] just lou:
I guess I'm going to have to be the guinea pig that installs the basic enhancement pack over this to get the Market back. ;)
[G Tablet General] MSU_Sparty:
I will be seriously interested in the result of installing the enhancement over the new update. I think having the Market is really important for the tablet and know someone will figure out an approach to making it work sooner or later.
[G Tablet General] Djapatos:
I don't see why you guys are jumping off that update

I really don't see why you guys are jumping on that update... at least for now, those who are not using a stock rom.

The customs will probably be still better than that update anyways. So I don't see the need to be doing that update.

As for me i m sticking with Vegan GingerEdition.

At least lets our great devs check it out and stuff;)
[G Tablet General] P00r:
No reason it would not work, same files need to be modified... didn't test tho

gee, I'm nvflashing to my gtablet but not sure what it is... guess it's time to take a break...

Going back to gingerbread, this release is uninteresting afaic..

I was running stock 3588 with root and market fix. Let update run, installed without a hitch. I no longer have root but still have market. I just went and installed a couple of apps from there to make sure as I really wasn't expecting for it to still work.
[G Tablet General] fridge011:
Anyone having prob with Amazon market apps not working? Even after reinstalling them?

Metal_in_Silk,

Have you thought of buying a lottery ticket today?

[G Tablet General] Dick in FC:
Running stock, upgraded to 3588 after receipt from Tiger Direct.

Put on update today. Now I have a clock/calendar with nothing else working at all.

It says "home", and there is an open padlock icon lower right.

It shows linksys connected, charge (81%), and sound on.

Any suggestions?

I've tried turning off and on, holding power button on for extended period. Nothing seems to help,
[G Tablet General] Metal_in_Silk:
Ya know, that's a good idea LOL

I actually work a lottery counter when I'm not busy in the tax office....don't normally bother but I think I might just spring for a couple of tickets for the Mega Millions tomorrow night :p
[G Tablet General] pr0cs:
sounds like you're on a lock sceen, just slid the padlock icon around, should unlock the screen. most android devices now come with a lock screen option, I presume older versions of the gtab software did not have one.
[G Tablet General] sam96_77:
Both gmarket and amazon app store app is working for me. Check the time and date if you get an error message. for some reason my date was reset to january 2009.

one thing i noticed is the rapid decrease in battery status. In the past I had at least good 6-8 hrs or more of active tablet use. Now I am getting much less.

did anyone else had the same problem
[G Tablet General] androidnoobie:
So the verdict? Should we update, or not?
[G Tablet General] Marshack4:
Downloaded the update, now I am stuck looking at the viewsonic birds for a long time on reboot. Anyone else hang on this screen for extended time.
[G Tablet General] just lou:
Has anyone figured out how to get the Market installed on 4349 yet?
[G Tablet General] pr0cs:
some people have said it's taken a good 10 minutes to get past the first boot.

I wonder if the battery stats is a bit wack after the update, not sure if it's possible to reset that file with the new recovery (or if it was reset already with the update and the device needs a full charge/drain to get the stats right)
[G Tablet General] lllGurulll:
I couldn't get gmarket to work at all. I just deleted it.
[G Tablet General] just lou:
Same here. Then when I tried to install the enhancement pack, it semi-bricked.
[G Tablet General] Gaslight0:
Well, I nvflashed back to 2967 it updated to 3588, then it update to 1.2-4349.

I see the birds, then tap N tap, then just "n" with the color feathers changing. It's been stuck on this for more than 10 min.

any idea appreciated
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
just lou,

When you do, make sure you remember where my post with the NVFlash Recovery Procedure is.

I'm hearing it will brick your tablet. I'm not sure the Market is the cause -- but I

wouldn't be surprised with the software that does the other "enhancements" messes

things up.

Close is only good enough in horseshoes!!! :)

[G Tablet General] just lou:
I'm not going to try the enhancement pack again. I tried a quick search and can't find anything, but is there a patch to install just the files need for the Market anywhere on this site?
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Gaslight()

See if you can shut down and restart into recovery -- press power/volume +.

If it will go as far as the blue recovery menu, you can wipe the cache and reset

the factory data and see if that will help.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

If not, you will need to NVFlash back to stock -- OTA to 3588 and decide where

you want to go from there.
[G Tablet General] massanutten:
I was running stock - no problems after updating and Amazon market apps or even downloading the app of the day.
[G Tablet General] scrinch:
I wonder if someone can develop an enhancement pack for 4349. The NVidia drivers will no longer be needed I would guess, so the pack would just consist of GApps and GMarket. Was there anything else in the enhancement pack that is still needed? battery management?
[G Tablet General] Gaslight0:
I had to wipe cache and set back to factory. I then nvflash back to stock..then update, update and now I see then lock.
[G Tablet General] dfdtitmouse:
just loaded new update

Had TNT Lite 5.0.xxx - upgraded to newest firmware, so far works ok (used the link earlier on in this thread).

I have 2 micro keyboards - one with integrated mouse & one without - the mouse does work as intended (seems VS has taken the best from XDA - Vegan, TNT Lite, etc.).

I'm still hashing through the new firmware - no problems yet.

Also, this tablet, as well as other Tegra 2 based units will have support from NVIDIA for at least another 2 yrs. (have NVIDIA graphic cards older than 4 yrs. - still supported); just waiting for Google to "release" (or "relish") 3.0 for the general masses.:p
[G Tablet General] robertm1771:
Just bought my g tablet yesterday. I had some problems of the bat was almost like the tablet was used. It was new that am sure. Anyway I reset the tablet. It reloaded 3588. I then rooted using z4root. After I used the market fix showen in the g tablet super thread. While it was a bit time consuming it was easy and seems to work well for me. I have had no problems playing the stock movies, Amazon app store and its apps. I hope my experience helps someone.

So far I love the tablet using. It now to write this.

I left out that was able to reroot and reinstall market fix from without issues.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I going to keep a tally, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035983

I just saw a TNT Lite 5.00 to 4349 success story, so I'm adding that too. If anyone else has tested anything (success or fail), please PM me and I'll add it in. Thanks! I'm hearing the Enhancement Pack doesn't work, but I'd need to know what the steps were, what Pack you tried and what the results were.
[G Tablet General] just lou:
I'm with ya. :D
[G Tablet General] steng:
Just to add my upgrade experience as a reference.

I am going from stock 3588 to 4349. The upgrade completed without a hitch. Did not see VS birds for long. I see the progress bar and download icon longer than anything else. Tablet rebooted a couple times ending up showing the lock screen.

Touch the lock icon and slide up unlocks the tablet. It did not show the large font time display on the lock screen initially but showing consistently now.

G Market and Amazon Market both worked fine :-)

All my old data were still there.

Video play back with the stock video player seemed to have timing issue.

I never got King Kong to play (used to work in 3588). I sometime get a blank screen when attempting to play it. I see the progressbar moving but the screen remain blank with no video.

The Racing Video played fine when I power cycle the tablet. But subsequent playback showed the "Can not play Video" message. I can not get it to work again unless I power cycle the tablet. Speculating it is a timing or file size issue.

You Tube works sometimes. Most of the time it shows it's loading but never play the video. MSNBC, IMDB plays fine. TVGuide showed half the screen and crashed. (used to be just choppy in 3588)

My gut feeling -- 4349 is more stable but appear to have timing sync or memory issues with video playback. It's simply not reliable at this point.

I am a total noob here and really don't know what to expect from VS.

I also want to express my appreciation to the work all the Devs had done on this board.
[G Tablet General] edirector:
The thrill of the hunt. Most have tried, semi bricked and bricked and brought gtab back from the dead. So this is another fun day on the XDA gtab forum.
[G Tablet General] tdaly001:
OTA Update boot loop

Mine went into the boot loop after the 3588 update.

I was able to rescue it by going into CWM (volume up + power) and wipe, factory restore, then apply update zip. This took me back to the previous version and I started over. I had done nothing but allow the update prior to the boot-loop.

It may be that mine was a returned item also. The unit showed no signs of being returned, but there was no setup when I first booted it up. There was a setup after the Update.zip.

Hope this helps someone.

[G Tablet General] butchconner:
just lou, et al,

I have no idea whether an enhancement pack is in the works -- but I can tell you that

Roebeet already has posted saying he will be building a new TwoTapsX

alternate ROM based on the stock update 1.2.4349.

Usually when he (and the other devs) build alternate ROMs they include Market and

other fixes and improvements in them.

In fact, when the 3991 everyone has referred to came out, roebeet did exactly that

and I am still running that on my second tablet (TwoTapsX v.902).

You might be interested in going to the Developer Forum and reading the thread about

the TTX ROM since it likely will be a lot like the alternate ROM to come.

So when all this settles down (and I don't think it will be weeks) you might watch

roebeet's post and consider his alternate ROM based on this upgrade.

Hope is not lost!

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
My suggestion is to ask all the devs and modders here how they plan to integrate this 1.2 branch into their own mods.

[G Tablet General] sdho:
yeap, can't seem to change static wallaper here as well

Same here. I took a look at the debugging logs through adb and apparently the Wallpaper Chooser is missing from the Home app. So I guess it was removed or something.
[G Tablet General] HackaMathecian:
If you've updated to 4349, can you give a list of the issues you've had so far?

I can't play videos on ABC news, and I can't play some of the .1080p videos either.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Hack,

What kind of 1080p were you not able to run. I just picked

a few at random from a 1080p search and did OK.

My 4349 test box is plain stock with root, etc.

Rev
[G Tablet General] djincnj:
What did you use to get root, terminal? z4root? what revision?

I decided to take it slow with my tab and I want to start with just root and market fix. I've been all over this board and it seems there are a few different ways to do it. I've read quite a few threads, so many its starting to jumble on me, shoulda been taking notes, what's an issue, what isn't, and the REALLY annoying 1 or 2 threads that I take the time to read all 30 some odd pages to find that the last few posts deem it outdated with a link to a new thread. Really though there isn't much on rooting since most of the custom ROMs are already rooted and even some of the step by step walkthroughs don't mention it even though it's needed.

So anyway now just when I am about to get started BOOM the update hits and I'm back to reading again.
[G Tablet General] HackaMathecian:
After I did the update, there were a bunch of 1080p files under 'Videos'.

A couple of them didn't use to run. Now it's just one of them 'kingkong.1080p'.

Perhaps it's something wrong with the file.

Were you able to play videos on ABC news?
[G Tablet General] fab4272:
When I tried to upgrade from 3588 to 4389 I am told my system is already up to date. The system gave me a notification from 2687 to 3588 but now I can't move on.
[G Tablet General] Leouniverse:
Same with me. I can't even get into the recovery screen after several attempts to do a factory reset. Anyone with suggestions? Thanks VS for the epic failure update.

The error I am getting is "The process.android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" force close.

The thing is, I had updated from VS stock rom (can't recall the number) it ran like a champ, no major issues. I noticed a few things were running slower, but nothing else was a problem, the lock screen was a sweet addition too.

But even with this error, I can hear/see everything running in the background (email is received alert) etc. I could get to the blue screen I tried a few installs but not the full factory recovery...now It is my only choice and I can't get to the recovery screen. I will have to tinker with it later I suppose, but this is not how I wanted to start my weekend.

Any suggestions on how to get a working tablet or where to go would be much appreciated.
[G Tablet General] steng:
I don't see any .1080p files. I see kingkong.wmv on my tablet instead and I can not play it through several tries l:mad: Although not always successful, with 3588 I was able to get it to play.

[EDIT] Looked up the video in the master folder, it was kingkong_1080p.wmv and car_1080p.wmv, I also got one of my private .mp4 file (1080p) to play. [EDIT]

My experience with 4349 is that video is not reliable. I can get most of them to play if I power cycle the tablet. The same video won't play later. I can get YouTube to play but not always. At times, I am just looking at the wait cursor and nothing happens. I did not try ABC news but MSNBC works so did some other apps. I watched a full NCIS on TV.com without a hitch. It is better than 3588 in that regard (TV.com was quite choppy on 3588).

Does it give you nonstop fc even right after you select it? Acore fc are usually a contacts related error

How long after going back to 3588 stock is the wait to receive 4359? My updater service is running, but have yet to see anything. Just curious if I have a problem besides being impatient...lol

[G Tablet General] macawmatt:
They pulled the update again.
[G Tablet General] Leouniverse:
No, though I am not certain FC..Flash card? Upon booting the system gives the error, I can quit out try to launch any app, same error or after it sits idle for seconds. I try to do safe mode, it gives the launch info that it is getting to there. Then it pulls up the system install box icon, drops off of that into the TNT main launch rather than the Blue Screen to factory reset. Very frustrating, just seems like it is in a permanent install phase and something is just not getting placed correctly.

I am still digging, and I have found that several people have mentioned contacts, spaces, etc. I have not placed anyone in my contacts the only ones that were ever in there were from Twitter for some strange reason. I had to open my Twitter deleted everyone I was following (not many) since I can not get to contacts through the device to delete or clear. While that step did nothing to help it, my hubby is now involved in probably flashing this device with something.

Thank you for your help and I'll updated with anything else I come across.

Help:-)
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
By "FC", he means "force close", I.e. when application basically crashes.

Re. the contacts thing, apparently sometimes the data or databases for the Contacts application get something like a bad or empty record, which then, for some reason starts causing tbings to FC. One way to clear that up is to use Titanium Backup to delete the data for the Contacts application.

Jim
[G Tablet General] Leouniverse:
Oh, duh:-) (face palm) Thank you. The one thing I can not do is go into safe mode, to fully install apps. My Gtab will allow the install (I tried Clockworkmod) it acts as though it will install (scroll bar, the whole works) the application shows it installs. But when I restart and do the power+, I get safe mode dialogue, and then the device continues past the safe start screen onto the TNT/VS screen. This then gives the immediate force quit warning/button.

I can start up the tab and get into the data folder, does anyone know the way to find contacts through the data folder? I do not want to toss out anything that I shouldn't. It acts like it wants to run but yes, it FC's every second. I can get some apps running (internet yes , nothing system related), but can not get into the system settings the device will not allow it to happen.

And thank you anyone who can help.
[G Tablet General] pyro530:
Grrr. I'm so mad at myself, I had to do a restore because of some stupid mistakes I made and now I'm back to 3588. I tried placing the update zip file of the new verion on the SD card in the root directory. But it still doesn't seem to want to upgrade.:mad:
[G Tablet General] Xnine1964:
Make sure you have the recovery folder with the command file in the root of the SD card with the update.zip, otherwise it will not update from 3588 to 4349. I forgot to copy it on mine and realized I had forgotten it. Once I put it in it updated.

I had mine updated the day it was available but rolled it back to 3588 due to only one problem.

Thanks Rev. I couldn't be sure of your exact post you referenced, but your other posts were encouraging with guidance to lots of reading and learning from other modders. With little experience on the g-tab, the 4249 is working well for me. I’m sure in a month or so, I’ll be getting tired of the UI and with the lessons of many, make a successful mod myself.

issues with update 1.2.4349

Not sure if it's just me but i have been seeing various issues since i applied 4349 update:

1. SKYPE no longer works

2. Video playback is a coin flip. Stock videos don't work at all!!! I am referring to the Formula1 and king kong trailer.

3. Force close when setting a static wallpaper

4. Flash works occasionally in the browser. I have to restart my tablet to get it to work again.

5. Battery life seems to be worse when sleeping. Full drain sleeping overnight.

My tabLet is not rooted.

The only positive i see in the updated ROM is a more responsive keyboard!!!

I really want to revert my ROM!! Not sure if that is possible. everything was working well before. This latest update is full of problems.
[G Tablet General] :

4349 Issues

3588 definitely ran better for me. The 4349 update bricked my G-Tab and I had to NVFlash it. It hardly ever forced closed before, but now it does it a lot. The touch screen freezes now too, especially when using the browser. On the plus side, the battery monitor seems to finally work and flash seems to work better. The HBO website would not load for me before. It does now, even though it is painfully slow. 4349 does not seem to have the updated Nvidia drivers. My Quadrant score is only 1800.
