Rep said he would put us in the official list, come on everyone pitch and show how much we want a forum.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
We have been on the official list since the G-Slate has been out... Hopefully they actually recognize the higher demand now though. Keep sending those requests!

After I root my device is there any way to do a factory reset without going into the OS...cos.my device went into a bootloop after the ota update from DoCoMo got my system hang and I.got no choice but press the reset button...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
You might have to use nvflash to restore your backed up system.img.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pete338:
Thanks..I'm quite a noob...any pointers?

Best regards..

Unfortunately I'm not too familiar with the commands. Someone else may be able to help you better than myself. I'm sure someone will come along and be able to help.

g-slate need a forum stat.. show it some love man..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] innerspace:
woot!

Thanks a brazillion times for the guide, rooted and happy (except for strange lines in my display, harumph!).

Would love the addition of a forum for this device, I need some xda honeycomb love, this is a whole new ballgame.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
Yeah agreed. I just want an uprated kernel. This thing slows down quite a bit and the xoom was much much faster. Too bad the xoom is so damn heavy, ugly, bad screen, and uncomfortable to hold. Haha.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
FWIW I sent a pm to BigRushDog (of the Tiamat Kernels Group) to see if they would have any interest in getting a kernel working for us. Even something simple like a straight overclock would help a lot!

Any of you want to send a message to the other members of the Tiamat crew and find out? With using the same darn chipset you would imagine their work could port over.

Other Tiamat members are:

BigRushDog Xoom Lead Developer

kcrudup Xoom Contributing Developer

MADIndustries Xoom Contributing Developer

Solarnz Xoom Contributing Developer

Here's hoping

Hi, can i use the optimus pad l-06 as a phone? making phone calls?

What is the use of the sim card there? pls.. i am a newbie in android tablet world.

I want also to unlock my ntt docomo optimus pad l-06c

Thanks..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
Not that im aware of. Its for data.

Just download a sip client or gvmonile and use data for phone calls and you are golden.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
Gosh we need a kernel!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
We need a lot of things but development is basically nothing right now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dasunsrule32:
No, because of the way it registers on the network. It uses your IMEI number to recognize the device on the network. You can try it, load your existing sim in the device and use it. It will terminate the connection after a bit. Since we don't have source, it's difficult to tell how much is being done at the server level and how much is done at the client level.

I'm at a loss... Using Ubuntu 11.04 on a 4GB USB flash drive with 1.5GB of persistent memory. Using root, not using root. With sudo, with out sudo. I either get a "command not found" or "permission denied" message and can't proceed. Could the issue be that I'm running Ubuntu off of the flash drive?

Gonna give the wubi method a spin... decided instead to dust off my old Dell Mini 9 and throw Ubuntu on it. Still can't seem to run the nvflash command keep getting permission denied message.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JDenson77:
found a dev

Hey everyone I have found a dev that is willing to work on the G slate.... ChiefzReloaded doesn't have the device but I'm sending him fifty bucks and hopefully others will be willing to fork over some cash. Check up with him on twitter.... we really need as many people as we can get but hopefully they push OTA soon to give us more to work with.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] innerspace:
this is good news. i've dropped by #G-Slate countless times and its always dead. Does he have a twitter account? I'd like to participate directly in testing and development on this platform.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JDenson77:
devs

Yea just do a search on his name we are stiillllll far from getting anything done the sooner we can get a device in his hands the better..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JDenson77:
make sure you leave your device OFF for a few then while its still unpluged push the key combo. Should look like noing happens but no buttuns will work at all except reset under back cover.... had same problem...... try it that way and let me know how it goes
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChiefzReloaded:
I do have a twitter acct... The name is the same as here and link to it in my sig. I have done a little bit on XDA so I'm sure you can find me by searching here or google to get an idea of who I am. If I manage to get my hands on one I will begin work. I have the kernel src already and will compile a test soon. Will post it so you guys can try it since I cant. Problem is its very time consuming to send things out to the public that dont boot/work for some reason. I am still willing to see what I can do in the mean time. I dont own a tab so its a new ground for me but am familiar now with nVIDIA and the tegra 2 as well as LG methods of hax as I sold off all my previous devices for bills but managed to trade my G2 + cash for a G2x. Anyways, before you tl;dr this I will leave it alone. But yeah, I am here and hope I can help with a few things till src drops on HC..... CR

Long single thread is long. ;)

If you'd like some elbow room, feel free to have discussions over at the G-Slate fans forum (I can't post links yet - don't have enough posts).

You might also find more folks willing to chip in for the dev.

With all this in mind, I am assuming that the adbd daemon needs to be started from the init.rc. What about the fastboot stuff? I can reboot to a screen that says it's loading fastboot in yellow letters, then it stops. Using fastboot oem unlock yields nothing. I will take a look through the init.rc today, and see if I can bork that in anyway. :)

EDIT: Well, for some weird reason, at least on my install, persist.service.adb.enable was set = 0. If you have this issue, to correct:

su -
setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1

That will correct adb to start correctly. Now time to adds some udev rules to allow access from a non-root account. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dasunsrule32:
It's an ENV variable issue, just sudo to root and run the commands would be the easiest way.

sudo su

Enter your sudo password, then start running the commands. :) You'll be good from there.

or...

You can create an alias, something like this in your ~/.bashrc:

nano ~/.bashrc (Exit and save)
alias sudo "sudo env PATH=$PATH:/path/to/nvflash" (insert this line, excluding this bit.)
source ~/.bashrc

Then sudo will work. :)

i think a tree just fell in this dark forest of doubt

some would say tl;dr, some 10 chars. i think it was just right.

Don't have any cash to kick in at the moment but do have a ton of computers and the will to tinker. followed you on twitter and will get in touch. thanks for raising your hand, i think there are a lot of v909 users that need direction.

Having spent tons of time here pushing my G1 to the limits I'm pretty comfortable with everything up to gingerbread. however, mtp/mmc are new worlds, your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Off topic... But u have TWO Sensations? o_O Interested in getting rid of one at least for a bit?... Looking to jump on cracking that thing as well.... HTC is taking too much time for what is a VERY simple task from their side.... Let me know...CR
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RotaryXperiment7:
looks like the xoom is already getting 3.2

we needs to get cracking on the g slate. im starting to regret getting the slate and not the xoom lol
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
I have a evo 3d if you want to test anytibg I'd run it for you.

I'm interested in what is being done for evo 3d and sensation loadable kernel modules. Even without source the developer of setcpu was able to overclock it. Can that be used on our slates?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChiefzReloaded:
Yes should be "do-able"... well, depends on how he wrote the module... but... everyone is excited about the module overclock he did for Sensation and Evo 3D (not just here but the blog world too) but this is really old tricks. Well, ok, G2 release days old. We ran a module in a script to OC to whatever value we set up. He was the one who made that happen as well before S-Off and perm root etc... Just some history on it, and yes... Unless its not possible with Tegra 2 it should be doable. I will look into making it happen... CR
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dasunsrule32:
You would've only needed to chmod 755 nvflash, but who's counting :p Good job though. ;)

hey hows it going. i appreciate you helping us with developing on the slate. sux we really dont have much support, kinda makes me regret buying the slate and not the xoom!

i didnt message you on twitter since i dont have one.

any luck with any work on the slate? i would like to donate to u as well :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChiefzReloaded:
I got your DM and replied... Was just running all over the damn state today and couldn't get back to you... I have never played with either one so I cant say you made a good or bad choice but my opinion recently has always been LG > Motorola.... Now moto is unlocking some bootloaders and becoming dev friendly in a sense makes them a viable option but I still think the G Slate "looks" to be a good device. I say that in quotes because I have never actually touched one, just researched the internals. You guys just don't have much going on as far as development and stock updates and lets face it, we buy these things to feed a techy addiction which is not limited to compulsive flashing :p I would most def not give up on this thing. It will in the end surprise you I think when things start opening up... Just my thoughts... CR
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RotaryXperiment7:
ya hopefully you are right lol, so much potential *shurg shoulders*
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChiefzReloaded:
What does the GSlate cost? I have found 2 locally on CraigsList one for $350 and one for $450... Both sounded decent price wise... I dont have the cash for either but trying to get an idea of what im looking at.... A bit off topic but just trying to get things together I guess... CR
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RotaryXperiment7:
ya sounds good, i paid 450 for mine. 350 not bad if in good condition.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:

hi everyone i have a major issue with my rooted gslate.if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. i downloaded cw from the market and when it askes you for compatibility i accedently chose the option (lg optimus 3d) thinking it was for my gslate and now after i turned off the gslate and go to turn it back on its stuck on LG blackscreen and says

[HasValidKernelImage] Magic value mismatch:

[DetectOperatingSystems]kernel image is invalid !!!

Starting Fastboot USB download protocol

Ive looked all over the internet and cant find anything to help me out so please can someone help me.

maybe a way to nvflash the proper kernel back.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
Just redo the NVFLASH part where you send the image to the tablet. That should overwrite the kernel.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] salmanaman:
Which img is there a can you give me a brief tutorial please.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChiefzReloaded:
So against the wife's wishes I'm sure given our financial situation right now, I am going to attempt to match any donation sent to me to try and get to the goal faster. She doesn't check XDA so I am probably safe lol... Anyways, just thought I would throw that out there... My dumb ass lost a $50 bill at Rite-Aid picking up her prescriptions somewhere between the car and the pharmacy yesterday and she is not too happy. Neither am I for that matter. Anyways, hopefully that will help some in the long run... Looking forward to getting on with the hax on the slate asap.... CR

Test Kernel/Wifi Module

Looks like I have my test kernel/bcm4329.ko wifi module compiled successfully... Only reason I am doing an initial test is the fact I don't have the device so I cant pull the stock .config for the kernel and I am not sure mine will cut it. Will upload for willing guinea pigs in a bit... Gotta get some sleep.... Make sure u have a backup of your boot partition which correct me if I am wrong but I believe is /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 .... More soon.... If the kernel boots fine, I will add my OC patches to 1.5 Ghz and go from there... If it does boot fine, please take a screenshot of the kernel version in settings and let me know how things are running.... CR

EDIT: Here ya go if anyone wants to give it a shot.... Test
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 141park:
Hi, Sorry but this may be a stupid question but I am rooted but how do you load the kernal? Do i hit the power and volume down button and get into the CWM menu? Sorry and any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
CR you are the Man! Hoping for OC if this beast boots up. Thanks for stepping up and making our little community even better.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
You have to back up your system and flash the test with nvFlash.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
I'd love to try it. But not sure enough with nvflash to do it without more instructions....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
When there is more development we will all know the nvflash commands by heart so don't feel bad!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChiefzReloaded:
First off, this is just a kernel so I only think u would need to backup partition 6 and ur bcm4329.ko module but in actuality if I were you guys I would make a backup of ALL partitions just to be safe before messing around too much. This is part of the reason I would like my own as to not push something out to ppl with limited experience and them semi brick their stuff and then get upset with me over it. LG is pretty good in the fact that u have the APX mode or whatever so its pretty safe but if you are unfamiliar with NV Flash etc I'm not sure u should be trying this untill I have a recovery built... Hopefully you guys don't take that statement wrong, I am not trying to discourage modding your device... CR
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
Well rooting was easyenough. but a refresher on what to flash would be great. I personally only want a sped of kernel to overclock and ill be loving this thing!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChiefzReloaded:
Do u guys have true fastboot on this thing? Can someone test fastbooting their stock backup boot image to the thing and see that it succeeds before we dig into NV Flash.... CR
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
How can I backup the stock image using fastboot to test that? I set it in fastboot mode and it seems to respond to commands, though im not sure what you need me to do? You can PM me and we can do this over a chat on aim/gtalk etc so you can have me test whatever you want.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
Im trying to backup the stock images, but i cant get adb access. Anyone have the g slate adb drivers around? Cant find a way to backup using fastboot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChiefzReloaded:
Will someone do "adb shell mount" and post/send me the print out please... Working on the recovery... Also... I need to know if you power down the device, then hold volume up AND down and power on while continuing to hold down the keys if it wipes the device? I know that's asking alot, no one want to lose all their stuff but its for the good of humanity.... ok just the device's progression but still :p If anyone is willing it would really help... CR
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RotaryXperiment7:
someone help a brother out lol
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
Cant do that without adb drivers, which i have yet to find...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andre_pl:
Chiefz, APX Mode (vol+/- and power) Does NOT wipe the device.

I've used APX mode to backup my partitions, so no there is definitely no wiping.

Is there a way to restore if i mess up
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
Still trying to find that out myself. Id love a fastboot restore option since access to linux to use nvflash is problematic for me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RotaryXperiment7:
hopefully fastboot works since i have no linux. would i still need linux to root slate?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
I'm sure there may be an alternate method very soon which won't require linux. Also the last time i checked I thought fastboot worked with Windows.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
He's talking about root. Still requires Linux, since you have to mount the ext partition.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
Yea I understand. I should have said that it should now be possible to create a fastboot img that can help Windows users and Linux users alike aquire root. I remember using this method on my Nexus S when it first came out.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
The new kernel works flawlessly but as of right now he hasn't included the OC modules. It will be coming shortly. I am waiting to hear what he changed in the kernel but I'm sure he will let us know. All I can say right now is that it works and I believe it was mostly for testing purposes.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dasunsrule32:
It's as simple as uploading the rooted system image and letting users take over the steps of flashing the rest of the way on to their tabs :-) This will work on windows or linux.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChiefzReloaded:
That's exactly correct.... To solve the root issue simply until something else is worked out someone needs to just upload a stock, rooted system image and call it good. Winbloze/Linux either way will work and your set... CR
