EDIT: Actually... Don't flash this... I figured out the issue I think....

Need someone daring to fastboot this new boot.img just like my first one... Pushed some changes to the kernel and I'm hoping (fingers crossed) it didn't break. IF, and that's a BIG IF, I'm lucky and it boots, I need whoever flashes it to install SetCPU and tell me what its stating the frequencies are and the voltage (mV). Have it auto detect, or choose tegra 2 if it wont. If it fails, just fastboot my first boot.img back and report. Grab the new one here and let me know... Screenshots welcome of SetCPU... CR

EDIT: Initial test seemed to bootloop.... If that's the case I will re think what it is I think may have went wrong.... BUT, if someone is still willing to get me a logcat of the bootloop that would help alot...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
Ready to test when needed. If you can make it fastboot flashable like before that would make it alot easier, wont have to boot into linux to do it with nvflash....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
I'll be home in a little bit to continue testing CR. At least I got a chance to figure out that it bootlooped before I left for work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 141park:
Hi, What is the best way to load the kernel? Any steps would be greatly appreciated? I do have linux when I rooted the g slate but really don't know where to start and what commands to use.

Any help is greatly appreciated on the steps to back up and then flash the kernal.

Thank you
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RotaryXperiment7:
Would be cool if we cannget a tutorial going :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
To flash the image you want to have the directory with fastboot in the Command Prompt/Terminal. Type "cd <fastboot directory> ". Drag the image file into the same folder. Now you would type "./fastboot flash boot boot.new.img". If you are using fastboot in Windows you don't need to add the "./". Before flashing shut down your Slate and enter fastboot mode by holding Volume Up + Power and hold it until you see the fastboot screen. Type "./fastboot OEM unlock". Now follow my previous instructions for flashing the kernel/boot.img!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 141park:
Hi, Thank you so much. Is there a way to back up first in fastboot before flashing?

Thanks again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
I am not sure how to backup using fastboot. I personally used nvFlash to backup my system.img but I don't remember what partition the boot.img needs to be backed up from. I honestly flashed the kernel without backing up my boot.img and everything worked perfect. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can flash it but I can't be responsible if something SOMEHOW went wrong. If something did go wrong however I am sure someone can pull a stock boot.img to fix it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gtkansan:
i did it without a backup too. Hopefully someone with easy linux access will pull a set img's for us soon so we can all have a stock backup available.

@ChiefzReloaded im working on seeing if i can send u a slate free of charge with the pomise of getting it back to help out on this forum.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
That would be very gracious of you. I'm sure he would really appreciate having the device which would speed up development immensely. I am positive you would get your G-Slate back because Chiefz seems like a real genuine person. Hopefully he takes you up on this offer until we can get him enough money to get his own.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChiefzReloaded:
If that is something you can do I would be happy to use it for dev work till I can get one of my own. I have worked on many ppls devices and can supply you with references from active ppl in the android community who have sent me their devices and were returned there devices as well if you need that kind of assurance. Let me know what you want to do and if you are okay with it I am down as well. I appreciate the thought either way and I am sure I will get my own at some point. Just waiting for one to pop up on CraigsList for cheap enough. I don't have enough for a new one so its a waiting game and the Slate isn't real popular in my rural area. I have replied on 3 of them but haven't heard back.... So its just a waiting game for now... CR

Yes, but you'll need to locate the windows version of nvflash.exe. I haven't located it as of yet. Haven't had time to find it yet. But if you do, please post the file in a zip here. I'll add it.

V900

Hello,

i have the German non Branded G-Slate v900 ...

is the v900 the same like the v909?

My Idea ...the v900 with the root how to for the 909 and then the USB Hack from the xoom ...

Because the V900 Build Number is HRI66 and that should the USB hack work ... has anyone tried this already?

I only fear the boot loader may be different even though it's like the V900 is the same device as the v909 ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deifel:

I have also the v900 unbranded (also german).

G-Slate alias LG V900

vol + plus power equals "Starting fastbootusb download protocol"

and "Bus 001 Device 006: ID 18d1:d00d Google Inc." in lsusb

vol - = entering lg mdp mode do not power down downloading now

and "Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1004:6000 LG Electronics, Inc. VX4400/VX6000 Cellphone" in lsusb

hard lock? Non APX?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dasunsrule32:
Did you try vol up/vol down + power for apx? Screen won't turn on, it will show up as a nVidia device on the computer your using when plugged in however.

So when I

Option A - PowerShot press vol + and then black screen comes up and is displayed in yellow writing:

Starting fastbootusb download protocol

Option B - vol and then power up and appear black screen is in yellow:

lg mdp entering powerdown mode DO NOT downloading now

Ubuntu recognizes in lsusb:

A - Bus 001 Device 006: ID 18d1: d00d Google Inc

B - Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1004:6000 LG Electronics, Inc. VX4400/VX6000 Cell Phone

And as it is the v909?

Because someone has ever tried to Xoom USBHack for lg v909?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xxliftsupxx:

Root V900 Erfolgreich ;-)

Ok good news for the German LGV900

Just got a German Optimus Pad LG V900 Rooted successfully.

So does the root manual for LG V909 and V900 for the LG.

Then I configured as in times vold.fstab Xoom USB Hack - No more flash a bin / rom.

Thus I can see in / mnt / secure / staging / my data from the connected USB drive. Unfortunately, my not so that you can directly access the same view a picture. BUT I can the data from the USB stick onto the internal memory, and then access;-)

No Moment ...

/data/usbdisk i can see my picture and can i open in Galerie - direct access to usbstick! With ES File Explorer and ES Bookmark i can an Bookmark to Desktop from /data/usbstick and direct access to this USBSTick folder ...

So I can copy data from a USB stick direct on the LG V900.

Perhaps we can even build yet?

At least we can LGV900 the German users as well as the rooten LGV909 and that's worth a lot.

Donation

So donations for a joint project in a large community that is not good and I have no understanding. If someone does not write sophisticated one useful program copied and published this then I think to donate good and meaningful.

That would also not the purpose of the Google Android operating system which is open source ....

Did yesterday again tried to mount my USB stick on LV900 different.

Because yes External Storage is not provided and /mnt/ not find ... I mounted my USB stick now to the internal memory (SDCARD) in a folder called external_usb ... This also works very well ...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JDenson77:
Yes google is open source but the point of DONATING is to get further faster without the help of LG who has no intrest in getting this device where it needs to be. ChiefzReloaded has agreed to help us progress where no G-Slate has gone before or will ever go for that matter if he dosent get invoved. The donations will be for him to purchase a device to develope on. He already has alot but still needs more. Also He takes time from his own life to do this so we are also giveing to him to compensate for that. People who dont donate or get involvd will still benifit but they do nothing to help out the comunity... therefor have no voice in anythin and should burn in a huge pit of melted glass... Just kidding about that last part.. =) if you are tired of waiting DO something about it...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xxliftsupxx:
;-)

I am in favor of the LG to the user community is something spended the most from the device to get out. Because the modified firmware hacks and the device regains worth of usable.

But I can understand what you mean. However, if everyone is a little out of place with Android and has it's tricky and can not be known here in the xda forum - help User User principle;-) That's why I wrote so well how to access USB (stick) with root can. I have also taken the risk on me as the first German LGV900 devices root thanks to the manual

I also give solutions to problems in the LG Forum Deutsch known - I had the problem myself and was able to solve itself ...

SIM card is required for any cell service even if solely for data. You can make calls, but would need to rig up as a Skype device or similar to do IP calling.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deez1234:
Doing a Wubi install will give you the opportunity to dual boot Linux and Windows. The reason you would need Linux is to complete Chandon's root method. It isn't necessary anymore to use Linux to root if you don't want to because of the nvFlash method which only requires a rooted "system.img". If you need more information join us on IRC.

Anyone else have the problem that ever since the 3.01 update they have no 3g reception? I also noticed when I go to look at the baseband version says Unkown. I'm guessing that's somehow related. I tired calling t-mobile/and lg to do a warranty exchange but LG refused because I don't have a receipt that has the IMEI (I have one the IMEI just isn't on the receipt for some reason). Either way I'm thinking it has to be related to the 3.01 update, because it seems to be doing all sorts of weird stuff to other people's devices. Any clue or should I just wait until we have a stock img we can flash?

If you need your tablet fully functional do not flash any kernels at this time. Most of them are strictly for testing at this stage. Many have reported random reboots and sleep issues. They are working on making the experience better for you guys so if you want to flash a kernel, I would advise waiting for something completely stable to be released. If you have the need for speed, feel free to flash the newest test kernel from our project page. I know some of you are very eager but remember that the devs are not responsible for any issues that you may have. ;-) Have fun and be sure to visit us on IRC (check my signature) for real time development; and you too can be part of the G-Slate Revolution!
