Thank Chandon, he took the time to find the method. Me and bling just maintain the IRC channel and the forum. :)

As a matter of fact, Chandon helps with that too lol. I think XDA should give us a section for Mother's Day!

giving up :(

i am so bummed i cannot get past

#7 ./nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --getpartitiontable ptable.txt

#8./nvflash -r --read 8 system-orig.img

Wait while 400 meg of data copies.

( i cant get it to the part where it shows its copying anything just automatically goes to the next prompt as if it copied everything in 1 second. so im stuck here: here is exactly what my terminal looks like:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Chandon:
Suzanne -

All of the nvflash commands should give some output. Try running "du -h *" to make sure the nvflash file isn't empty. If it is, you should be able to solve the problem by redownloading and unzipping the zip archive.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hourst2:
Yes, you are right, Thanks Chandon! +1 on the forum. This is a bit ridiculous. I cannot imagine that XDA has something against the G-Slate, but even devices that are not out yet have forums, and it is not like there is no interest . . .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ghirsh:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:

Also, the chat in IRC ebbs and flows as folks come and go. Don't hesitate to drop by and try again - folks may not be paying attention to the chat immediately, but someone always manages to show up. Don't be afraid to lurk. ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] diapper:
Looks like you may be on a 64bit system since it doesn't even see the nvflash file. Pull up ubuntu software center and make sure you have "ia32 shared libraries for use on amd64 and ia64 systems" installed.

Hope this helps. Cheers!

Did I miss a new forum for the G-Slate?

I got mine unlocked and working on Windmobile here in Canada. Solid 3G no HSPA+ open yet on Wind.

When 'Root' comes to Win7 I am in. I get spoiled by the xRecovery on my x10. Sigh. Hoping the Google IO conference will show a new Honeycomb build we can throw on our G-Slate's.

Peace out G-Slaters
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zabe:
the same way as g-slate, but it seems that the timing to press buttons is sensitive. I tried several times to succeed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hourst2:
Looks like Honeycomb 3.1 is on its way out. Does root mean no update? If so, can we go back to stock? I don't think that we intentionally unlocked the bootloader (like on a Nexus phone) so it would seem that we could update, which would lose root, and then re-root, correct?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xboarder56:
it was using a compiled one in my source i fixed it by using the prebuilt one
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dasunsrule32:
Gotcha, I generally use the prebuilts. Cool, let me know if you need a hand with anything. I'll probably be available tomorrow afternoon. :-)

Just man up and tell the truth.

Give credit where its due......
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] avengin:
I think they should... This "dev" is sounding like a fraud and claiming stuff from other people. The people over at http://code.google.com/p/lg-v909/ as the true devs. Props goes to these guys for the work they've done. Give credit where credit is due.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xboarder56:
i got one donation and i will be refunding the guy he knows me from the htc amaze forum
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sikety:
Wow I think everyone needs to calm down a bit.

I am the only person who made a donation for Xboarder to get a GSlate. I use one of his Amaze roms as a daily driver so I do not want my money back and am happy to have that fund some of his other work.

I don't know what happened behind the scenes and I am sure that some mistakes were made but giving that he is 16 and might not know all the unwritten developer rules I think this could of been handled privately instead of a public lynch mob.

And the guy saying he is pretending to be a 16 year old needs to be banned, that is just uncalled for.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Reprise420:
Both LG & T-Mobile are partners in providing 18 months of upgrades after a device is released so there must be a 3.1 coming for the G-Slate.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
Congrats Chandon! You made headlines lol. Glad to have you with us in our little community. Come back on IRC!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mi|enko:
Oh, I'm not saying that the update won't exist. I was just pointing out that there's been no timeline announced and that the Xoom is the only one currently receiving it. Sorry for the confusion.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hourst2:
Moreover, root has generally kept a device from updating. In this instance, however, removing root is very simple. I used Root Explorer (in the market and invaluable) to remove su from /system/bin and then deleted the SuperUser.apk from /system/app. Anyway, if you are ever looking to remove root to return the device or perhaps if the update does not take.

What article was Chandon in?

Power concerns overseas

Since there's no G-Slate branch to the forum yet... I figured I'd ask this question here:

I've got my g-slate, which I've rooted (thanks Chandon) and love. But I want to take it as my travel device and am concerned about power requirements. Does this auto-switch b/t 110 and 220 like other systems? (Didn't see anything referencing this in the .pdf manual). Also, any thoughts on how sensitive this is to power fluctuations?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] saabguy123:
watching the 400mb of bits copy down now.

I'm doing this using VMWare Workstation (licensed) running Ubuntu 11 available for quick download from the site. For all intensive purposes, VMWare Workstation is just the big-brother version of VMWare Player. I get the license because I work as a VMWare engineer at my job. None-the-less, the product works as expected.

I first had some trouble getting into APX mode, but after several reboots and shut-downs I finally got it going in with Vol+/- and power-on. I think the trick was to leave the device powered completely off for about a minute and then just power-up with VOL +/- did the trick. One thing to note, in APX mode the screen of the G-Slate is black, dark, and no indication what-so-ever that the device is powered. I didnt even know the device was online until I plugged in the USB and heard the hardware insertion chimes in Windows XP. Ubuntu through VMWare Workstation picked up the nvidia device via LSUSB at that point.

Thanks guys!

DoCoMo

Has any one heard of a comfirmed rooted DoCoMo optimus pad/G-slate yet? If so any ideas how they got it there? I got all excited today when I saw the above post that 64bit was their problem. I installed 32bit ubuntu from wubi and still unable to get an nvidia listing in lsusb.

I must be some kind of idiot or my chipset (gigabyte p35) doesn't like this or something. I am trying the reset button like mad while holding the vol buttons how long afterwards should it take before it will show in lsusb ?

A very sad man sits in okinawa right now trying desperately to root his optimus pad.

I apparently just needed a beer and to relax and quit stressing. The second I did that Voila!!

By the way now that it is rooted any idea how to re-enable the built in wifi tethering they had disabled? The option is there in the menu but as soon as I click it, it looses internet connection.

Yeah and if you can figure out how to mount it as ext4. I tried every method and program i knew to try and get r/w ext4 access...but had no luck at all. Not even a sliver of hope. Just do a wubi install...it's by far the easiest method...only adds like 4 steps to the entire process.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Jaffer1979:
Docomo

Just to mention as earlier user posted the timing is tricky on the docomo version. In order to get this to work on mine I held power vol - vol + and then pressed the reset button then released the other three buttons. This way I could get it to show as nvidia in lsusb. Doing the way it is listed in the original post got my device into a state that looks just like the apx state ie screen is off and none of the buttons do anything seems bricked. I know there are some physical differences with the docomo version and it seems to be 3g/wifi only this may just be another difference with this device.

I have been using G-Slate extensively for 2 days, no issues noticed. Use lots of heavy apps besides games like: RDP client, LogMeIn, Slingplayer, DocumentsToGo(Office), TM-TV, AirSync, G.Voice, G.Talk, Skype. Everything works great, no crashes like some folks describe. There is only one glitch when you sign in to your Google account when after doing this device reboots but starts already logged in as it should. Since it is one time thing to do it does not bother me. :o

I am anxious to have my Slate rooted but I am going to give it a try once I see moded ROMs around. With 3.0 I am a happy camper and no need to hurry for root. :cool:

Is it the one from Rogers? Mine is rooted and I know of 2 others that were rooted with this method, it works fine. Make sure you're holding all 3 buttons for about a second or 2 before releasing them, the tablet will appear to stay powered off, but it should be in APX Mode. you can tell for sure because it wont turn back on without using the reset button under the back cover.

Does this happen to yours at all? or does it simply do a normal boot when you try apx mode?

Does the tablet still require you to use the reset button on the back after attempting to enter apx mode? If so, I experienced the same thing after flashing a modified boot.img. the tablet blocks access to apx mode if the boot partition doesn't match what its expecting. You can use dd from the rooted tablet to reflash the original boot.img

If thats the case.

Good luck,
