i'm in bayarea, SF/Oakland area. you have to send the phone to me for rooting (for security reasons plus i'm kinda a skinny guy! haha)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jazerix:
Hey

First of all, I'm trying to install an application through adb on my comp, and i was wondering how i could install the apk file on a selected device

like

adb install -s [SERIAL GOES HERE]

but i end up with an error saying "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR]

so, how can i send it to a specific serial? How does it handle the process if there are two devices connected?

Lastly i wanted to know, will adb work without the usb drivers?

Kinds Regards

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGiTY:
My Gmail emails weren't coming into my HTC EVO 4G so I tried to power cycled it (my non-Gmail emails were coming in just fine). When I powered it back it on nothing came on the screen, nothing happened. It is rooted (Unrevoked) so I tried holding the power button and volume up button, but it just vibrated three times, nothing came on the screen and nothing happen. I tried power button and volume down button and it boots in HBOOT. Seconds later it runs something and there's a message saying something about wrong image. I stopped here as I haven't used HBOOT before.

What's going on here? How do I get my phone to boot normally again?

P.S. - it's not the battery, because its been charging all night.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
It is normal for it to scan and give you that 'wrong image' message. If you had a PC36IMG on your sd card, that's when the bootloader would find it, and ask you to update. Since you dont have a PC36IMG on your card, it scans and finds nothing, so it says 'no image or wrong image'. No worries. What were you trying to accomplish by holding power and volume up? Its power and volume down that puts you to the bootloader. What were your intentions once you got to the bootloader? Were you trying to get to recovery, to clear cache or reflash a rom or something? If you want to reboot your phone without really doing anything, from where you're at in the bootloader, you'll see an option that says 'fastboot'. Select that. Once at the fastboot screen, you'll now see an option to reboot phone, and to power phone off. Select reboot, and see if she powers up for you. Shouldn't be any issues
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGiTY:
Weird. So in HBOOT I chose "reboot" from the FASTBOOT main menu and the phone restarted and got back to the desktop/launcher successfully. Everything looks normal.

My Gmail inbox just now began updating from yesterday (even though the phone was on up until a couple of hours ago). Also the apps I set up to install yesterday from market.android.com just started to download and install too.

What's going on here? Is the internal storage/memory/ROM dying or something (come to think of it I did have this Gmail issue last week too, but that power cycle was successful)?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I'm not sure what would cause the problems you're describing. What ROM are you currently on? Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik cache? Perhaps it's an issue with the Gmail app itself. In any case, I'd first try wiping cache and dalvik. If that works, great. If it fails, I'd probably do a complete wipe and fresh install. That usually solves any issues for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGiTY:
Sorry, I saw your initial post after my second post.

I just realize what the confusion may have been. When I powered off the phone I figured I might as well take the opportunity and do a full backup with nandroid. So I proceeded to get into clockworkmod recovery with power + vol. up button (this is when it vibrates 3 times and does nothing). The confusion, I think, is that I've been installing/flashing various ROMs for my new Viewsonic G Tablet for the past 2 days straight (with very lil' sleep) and thought the recovery method (power + vol. up) for the G Tablet was also the method for the EVO.

Anyhoo, at this point I'm very confused. I could of sworn I installed clockworkmod recovery on my EVO and I used power + vol. up to get to it when rooting. I even see the clockworkmod folder on my EVO's microSD card. Weirdness.

My EVO is working now so I guess I shouldn't stress it. I'll just figure out how to do a full backup later.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Yea, its power down and volume that takes you to the bootloader. You wont get directly to recovery unless your rom has the 4 option quickboot, then u can select recovery. Anyways, so once youre at the bootloader, you just need to select recovery. Then youll boot to clockwork. From there, you can make a new backup, flash a new rom, wipe caches etc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGiTY:
Oh, okay. Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:

[Samsung Mesmerize] super74nova:
OK so heres the story, I flashed jt's tw voodo kernel, and OTB rom. I then was trying to load a boot animation, and didnt realize it wasnt to be flashed. So i flashed it, and everytime i booted it all the applications popped up with the "unexpectedly stopped working" message. So I used odin to flash EC10 again, and tried reloading my kernel and rom, to no avail. So i tried doing a factory reset/wipe and now it gets to the boot animation but does not go any farther. What should i do to fix this?

Are you going back to stock EC10 with Odin? It should completely wipe out the kernel, OS, and everything else. MAKE SURE you disable lagfix before doing this if you've got it, or you really will want to hit up the Aircard channel.

[G Tablet General] jasco13:
Can't update to the new 1.2 ROM. Update stopped me at 3588. Went from NVFlash to 3389 and then finally 3588. Won't upgrade past that.

Maybe VS changed their mind about 4349.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Honestly, if they really pulled this then I hope it's temporary. As soon as this thing went into the wild, it's impossible to truly "undo" it from a support standpoint. Again, that's the sysdmin in me coming out.
[G Tablet General] Marshack4:
I hadn't trouble with both mine hanging on the reboot after update and I mean for at least half an hour. Nvflashed one back to life and held power and vol + until the other one shut off. Then turned it on and it was fine with the new update. If many people had the trouble I did, not surprised they pulled it. Both were going from stock. One had never been modded the other one did have two taps for a while, but went back to 3588 before updating.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

The update is no longer showing for me either. Was getting notification before, but not anymore. Running updater manually says that I'm current.

Jim
[G Tablet General] dictionary:
Yeah they pulled it. Glad I'd downloaded it. I ended up manually flashing it
[G Tablet General] brian_h_kim:
I had a problem with 4349 hanging on the "n" screen after doing a factory reset or wipe data. Suggest doing a factory reset/wipe data after updating to 3558. Otherwise, works well.
[G Tablet General] sdho:
+1 I thought I was boot-looping from stock recovery until I rebooted again it and Gtab was actually updated.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I have a feeling the OTA issue is going to be temporary

They released a statement on the new update:

http://www.viewsonic.com/gtablet/news.htm

That seems pretty official to me. My guess is that the OTA updater issue will be temporary.
[G Tablet General] VDoubleUVR6:
I updated my stock gtab from 3389 last night to 3588 successfully. I then was prompted about the 4349 update and I let it download but never installed as it was late and I went to bed. Today I got home from work and was prompted that the update was ready to be installed. Instead I tried messing around with the gtab and kind of hosed myself in a way that I ended up just doing a factory reset to correct my issue.

Well now its reset and it reset back to 3588 which is fine and good but I'm no longer prompted about the 4349 update ready to install. I went to see if the update was available and says that 3588 is the latest.

So it looks like that VS might have pulled it.

Oh well back to side loading some apps from my phone for the time being. Lost all my internet bookmarks too... :(

Wished there was an easy way to get the google market loaded on the gtab without installing cwm. Any one know?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'm working on it now - I posted on another thread about this.

I thought we had Gapps Enhancement Pack already? Or did that not work? I recall seeing early reports of brickage, but didn't read through all the details.
[G Tablet General] VDoubleUVR6:
I thought I found the thread earlier while I was at work but now at home I'm not having any luck. My biggest thing is that I can still get future ota updates without any issues.

[G Tablet General] P00r:
Sound complicated, but it's not and it's FAR from impossible, it's simply a mater of flashing the 3588 with the correct bootloader, Gojimmy bootloader fix will work for that!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036956

Simply using the same script would work for 3588 as well... 3588 miss the line that write the old bootloader in the bct ie: write_bootloader_image("/tmp/bootloader.bin", "EBT"));
[G Tablet General] enigma0456:
Back but not back?

I took the plunge and figured out nvflash and reinstalled the old version (bekin's) and then I got the ota update for 3588. It dfailed downloading the first time but after a reboot it tried again and there it was. I was surprised that all of my stuff was still there - wallpaper, apps, etc. I waited for the new update but nada. I ran the update app and it said I was current. I started checking the forum and discovered that the update has been pulled. Grrr I feel like going back to Calkulin's and forget it but my curiosity won't let me.

Here is what I am puzzled about. I tried to go into recovery mode to see if clockwork was still there and if that could cause me problems. It apparently is gone but it does say loading recovery kernel and then I get the animated box icon and then it just reboots and I see the tapntap stuff. I can't recall if there was any sort of menu in the stock recovery to wipe the cache, etc. Is there? Or, does it just trigger the recovery to look for an update zip on the sdcard and load it if it finds it?
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
when you run nvflash or install a stock update it wipes cwm
[G Tablet General] muqali:
It'd be nice if viewsonic, google or even someone on XDA who can program visual basic or visual c++ would write a front end for nvflash for these devices. Make it download all the files, and provide drop down lists or check boxes for all options, then nvflash them onto the tab. It'd make screw ups like this much easier to fix. Run the app, select 3588, check "restore" box. Run, wait 15 minutes, fixed tab.
[G Tablet General] agentstatic:
I looked around there site and I didn't see anything regarding problems with their new update, I've been using it since they released it and its been running fine for me.
[G Tablet General] muqali:
Me too, but that doesn't mean there are some that haven't had issues. To be fair, I started with repartition in cwm, clearing dalvik, etc. Then nvflashed to stock. Then used internal sd+pwr+vol up to install 3588. Then cleared user data again from within 3588, then allowed it to download the 1.2 update. Dunno if others would go through those steps.
[G Tablet General] Frozen001:
Is the OTA working or not? Everythime I use the update application it states it is the current ROM, and I am running the Stock ROM from January... I believe it is the 3588 one. Any help here??
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I called CS yesterday and actually had a senior person over there call me back the same day. There's no ETA but they are working on a new update. Unfortunately they didn't know why it was pulled. One guy told me a "few days", the other one told me "a week". So who knows for sure....
[G Tablet General] edirector:
Best they take their time it was slow hitting the desktop for me and I lost sound. Others had different issues. The wallpaper did force close. Better right then rushed. Besides for me I'm recustomized. Thanks xda for the custom Bootanimations I'm loving those and the swift keyboard after the hack. Cwm is much easier to use.
[G Tablet General] goldentiger24:
I bet the huge problem was that the bugs were really noticeable with the last rom (force close when selecting wallpaper, built in videos will not play). Likely those bugs will be fixed. I am also noticing other bugs but I don't know if those will be fixed.

-- I'm getting visual distortions on my screen. They look like a line 1 pixel tall showing up in random areas, either vertically or horizontally, which go away rather quickly. Still, it shows up in random applications and on the power off screen which is strange. I had no problems on the prior version rom.

-- The sound on my tablet just stopped working one day for no reason at all. I had sound before, I had no sound later, and changing volume did nothing. One reboot later and I have sound. Weird.

If anything I think that they were working on the new rom for quite a while and going over their expected release time making folks here angry. Therefore, I bet some folks were angry on the other end too yelling at workers to fix the bugs and release NOW because it was already overdue. The release happened but the bugs were not fixed (or new ones appeared, rush job?) causing the rom to have to be pulled because the bugs were simply too severe to ignore. Now I bet there is a lot more screaming at the other end to rush out fixes for this rom which may introduce more bugs...

Anyways, I would hope they do release a fixed and updated rom in a reasonable amount of time being that so many people have this update.

Still, I think Viewsonic would be better off (and folks would be more happy) if there was a "beta testing" type deal for new roms. You know what is being worked on and the roms are not quite stable or supportable but you can help Viewsonic out in reporting bugs and what not while most people would just chill on a stable code base. I doubt they would ever do that though but it sounds better than forcing a not so stable rom down the update pipe and hoping that things go better than expected.
[G Tablet General] pr0cs:
I just don't understand the logic from a company's perspective in not releasing the source code for the device.. all of the source. It is pretty obvious that the gTablet is nearing the end of it's product lifespan, what with it being increasingly difficult to buy a gTablet.

What does Viewsonic lose by releasing the source? Is there some proprietary stuff in there that gives them an advantage over another manufacturer? If so, what is it because I think a lot of people would agree that TapNTap did not work out as well as planned and likely hurt the tablet's sales more than anything else.

I work as a software developer and I understand the logic about not wanting to give away source that gives you competitive edge but in the realm of electronic devices said devices only have a limited shelf life anyway so what is the harm in releasing ALL the source code for the device as it nears it's end-life or when you have a new product coming out.

I can't imagine what could be achieved by the rom developers here if they had better access to the internal source code that Viewsonic has.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
it's simple. They can't. Tapntap is proprietary closed source UI layered on top of stock Android. Hopefully they'll put out a honeycomb update before dumping it though.

It's making me consider ditching the gtab for an eeepad tf101. The anandtech review makes it sound pretty nice.

Okay so last night, I was just multitasking on my phone and all of a sudden, I get that dreaded microSD icon on my notifications bar. It says, "SD card damaged. You may have to reformat it." I have gotten this in the past and usually a soft reset fixes it (with the oem sd card). I did that, and it was still there.

I tried to connect it to my computer to transfer everything saved, but the sd card won't even mount, so my computer doesn't even see anything on the card! I even tried putting the card in the external USB card reader that came with the card and I can't access it.
