[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeneas_shrike:
I'm back!

Yes, K J Rad was willing to do some hand holding through im today and had me go through a couple different sequences. I'll say next what "believe" explains what got me back to stock os. Hopefully K J Rad will correct what I get wrong or add in anything else that would be useful to all.

I've tried the attempts to load an sdcard with command file on it, insert it into the tablet, and then boot up. Since I was always booting up into APX mode this didn't really work.

Eventually, all at K J Rad's instruction, I did the following (mentioning the obvious cas for me, I'm not knowledgeable enough for this to be obvious, so maybe it will help the others at my same level):

1) in a new bat file sitting next to nvflash_gtablet.bat, I inserted the following minus the []:

[nvflash.exe —bl bootloader.bin —format_partition 12]

2) saved file, ran it

3) cmd window came up, went through the script, which was much shorter than the output of nvflash_gtablet.bat, which I've gotten accustomed to

4) the tablet continued to show it's normal black screen with "Entering NVFlash recovery mode / Nv3p Server” in white text, whereas normally after running the nvflash_gtablet.bat it would move on to the gtablet screen

5) powering down and then back up with power + volume up buttons caused it again go into apx mode (no visible change at this point)

6) rerunning new bat file, powering down, unplugging usb cable, powering up with power + volume up buttons resulted again in APX mode (no visible change)

7) reopened new bat file; changed only line from:

(minus the []):

[nvflash.exe —bl bootloader.bin —format_partition 12]

to

["nvflash.exe" —bl bootloader.bin —format_partition 12]

also, the — you see above are two dashes

8) added second line as follows (minus the []):

[@set /p batuserinput=Press enter to continue:]

9) save bat file changes

it as at this point that K J Rad went to confirm I was using bekit's 1105 image, which I had no idea, only the names of the two zip packages that I had gone to based on the flashing thread I used, which were from the dropbox site, which were:

nvflash_gtablet_46_2010112600.zip

nvflash_windows_20100500.zip

apparently I should have pulled down nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip instead of

nvflash_gtablet_46_2010112600.zip, so...

10) pull down nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip from https://www.dropbox.com/s/wrcd87u1iy31u4e/nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip, and unpack the files into the folder than nvflash.exe is located in, replacing files as it asks you to

11) power your tablet down if it's on, bring it up in APX mode (like you had a choice)

12) run your new bat file

13) you should notice a little difference, including a system.img being loaded towards the end

14) as batch finishes, your tablet should move to gtablet screen, then tap screen, then os

15) power down tablet

16) unplug usb (just because)

17) try to reboot into recovery by doing power plus volume up

18) should get birds!, recovery key detected, unpacking animation, then back out to birds, then on and on into the stock os

summary of what I think made the differnce, running the batch file with those two lines in it (minus the [] in both lines):

["nvflash.exe" —bl bootloader.bin —format_partition 12]

[@set /p batuserinput=Press enter to continue:]

, plus pulling down the replacement zip package, but I could very much be wrong and could be leaving something out

I have to say - THANK YOU to K J Rad! His willingness to walk me through IM while I was trying these things was a big help. I haven't included all my dumb questions that I asked and he answered, but that helped me from doing something dumb and making things worse. I really really appreciate it.

Moving forward, I'm going to start back down the path of clockwork, and then the rom. Asking for any suggestions on not mucking it up again, K J Rad suggested http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1026660 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030915 for cleaning out the data and cache. So now I've just got to take it slow (and document my steps in case I screw up again :) )

Thanks again to the forum and especially to K J Rad.
