go to this site for instruction on how to install adb, SDK,fastboot, etc..

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

lol... no 20 bucks.. it's ok

but you need to say which you have not done yet or which part you don't get then i can probably tell you what you need to do.. do you have the android sdk intalled already? can you go to fastboot mode? is your device being read on ADB? etcetera...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] snab321:
I havn't done any thing yet

Will look at link you provided when I get home

And will answer the rest
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] snab321:
Hi

I am stuck here

Step 4: Installing the USB drivers

installed drivers finished

and in Device Manager I can see my galaxy s under ADB interface but G-slate is showing Android Sooner Single ADB Interface

and also in the link you provided says to make sure SDK installed correctly is to open command and prompt and type adb devices

but when I do it is says adb is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

what should I do now?

-------------

also fastboot volume up on start up right?

when I do it a yellow text " staring fastboot USB download protocol" appears at top left is that all ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gslate03:
Android sooner single adb is correct.. That's the one for the gslate

If you have installed everything, the SDK.. Make sure you're gslate is on debugged mode... Go to settings /application /development /check the debug modw.. Connect your gslate to pc and type adb devices..

On SDK..

Make sure you have the android sdk in the right directory.. C:

And on the link i provided, make sure you followed the instruction correctly in putting your android sdk directory on 'environmental variables ', otherwise, when you enter adb devices.. It won't be recognized..

Normally its like this...

;c: programfiles/android/android-sdk/tools;c: programfiles/android/android-sdk/platform-tools

Umm just enter whatever the location of your directory is on your, and no spaces.. :C..

And also on your sdk executable, the one you downloaded from java... Update everything... Just to make sure..

Where is the downgrade from 3.1 to 3.0.1 hiding? I can't find it...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] snab321:
OK got it cuz i just copied the path in link now edited again to correct location in my PC and it is working now daemon is running and got some sort of device ID

what do I do now
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gslate03:
On Google Project site.. Download both the root zip and hacky recovery... Put the root zip on your gslate sd card..

The CW hacky recovery on your pc, unzip it then put the extracted file on tools (on android sdk)

Make sure debug mode is checked on your gslate, do the whole fastboot procedure... When device is on fastboot and connected to pc.. On command prompt enter fastboot devices, if it gets detected then type, fastboot oem unlock, then.. fastboot boot 'the exact file name of hacky recovery '... Press Enter..

Then your device will be on clockwork recovery mide, choose to install zip, the root zip is in 'media'... Press yes after install, reboot... Congrats!

Hope it works for you..

I bought a new gslate on friday, got the OTA to 3.1, and just now used this method. It still 100% works.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] snab321:
1-downloaded both files and put root.zip in g-slate sd (not in any folder) and hacky extracted to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools\CR-hacky-recovery-v909.img

2-Debugging mode is already checked.

3-powered it down then volume up+power until " Starting fastboot USB download protocol " appeared.

4- started CMD and

while typing adb devices shows that it is connected

also while g-slate is starting windows driver installation started and said

"MTP USB device was not installed"

could it be the problem?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chevy383surfing:
I believe I had to also download something from LG, which contained appropriate usb drivers for this to work. If I find out what it is I'll post a link.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Wylker:
Getting the android USB drivers to work with the g-slate took a little work. I used the SDK toolkit to install the usb drivers pack. Then I found the LG device in my device manager (you will know it by the ! in the icon showing bad drivers). Right click, update drivers, browse for drivers, click let me pick from a list, click have disk, navigate over to the directory where you installed the android usb drivers, pick ADB COMPOSITE DEVICE. Windows will warn you that this may not be the right driver, just click ok and let it install, you'll be set.

On THAT note. If you're in fastboot ADB shouldn't see the device iirc. Also if you can get ADB to recognize the device your drivers are probably ok.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gslate03:
This was the same problem I ran into when rooting my gslate.. But you're almost there..

Google pdanet, install it on your pc.. When you run it, connect your device and make sure the gslate debug is checked, device on.... Run pdanet and follow the prompt, choose LG for manufacturer.. It will install the necessary drivers for your device to get detected on fastboot.. When everything is done, go to device manager and update fastboot driver.. Then do the fastboot procedure again.. Type fastboot devices, then fastboot oem unlock, fastboot boot cr hacky.. You know the rest..

Your gslate must be detected on fastboot when you type fastboot devices in order for you to root..

Has anyone tried out the 3.1 compatible kernel that's been released?

On that note, it states to boot only, don't flash. How do you boot with a specific kernel?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] drezman:
You would have to use fastboot. The command would be

Fastboot boot <file name of kernel>

This will boot from the kernel, but won't flash it, so you'd have to do it every time you reset your device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] seraphimserapis:
Are there any news on reflashing a "better" bootloader? Or flashing a kernel via CWM or something?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gslate03:
i think there may be a bug on the new market.. Not sure if this is also happening on the xoom.

When you are prompted for an app update and you updated, the update prompt stays..

So you should update from within the main page of the app where it has the app infos, rates, reviews, description, etc... If you update from there, the prompt goes away.. On clicking my apps, there's an update, click again on that app the big top right portion and it should take you to the app's main page.. Update from there, the update prompt won't show up after..

Hello.

The Vol+ Vol- and PWR didn't work for my g-slate.

What I don't like about my gslate :

A factory reset erases the internal sd.. It's not supposed to.

The device does not charge when turned off

When coming from some apps ( browser, market, etc.) and you press the home button, the homescreen lags and the widgets reload.. Ughh this is my biggest gripe. Software issue this one is.

There is no good facebook app like on phones .. LoL

Laggy keyboard on browser.. Choppy too

I still hope that there will be update or patch - because USB support is disabled in the kernel is not acceptable because this is also a basic requirement and the 3.1 was so provided.

A user has indeed hinbekommen a kernel build which you can also load (CRF-Baws CFQ-DL-CIFS 3.1.img) unfortunately I do not have it and the USB support ... maybe this one could still hinbekommen? CWM is also quite possible would have to stop just to be adapted to make full backups nandroid and load with improved kernel - unfortunately the issue is somehow

unlock for g slate?

does anyone know who is working on the bootloader unlock, cause i really want to keep my g slate, one of the reasons is because i bought it when it was new for like 600 dollars or something. I really want to beleive this tablet is going to be up and running with full unlock and root, altogether because that would be a miracle. that would make the g slate soooooo much better.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mcarey66:
Just sell it dude. That's what I'm doing. Development is dead for the G Slate. There was a couple people working on it on a Google Code page but there's no activity there anymore. The only new posts there are people saying they tried to root and bricked their slate.

A lot of people talk down the G Slate but I think it's a great device. It's the perfect size. I'm 6'4" and a 10" screen is a little awkward to hold. The G Slate has all the horsepower potential of most of the top end tablets but there's no one to unleash it. I've never owned an Android device that I didn't root which is what drives me nuts about this.

Even though I'd rather have a tablet this size I'm dumping mine and getting a Transformer. There's tons of dev work going on with it and a very active community. I suggest you do the same.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] esdwa:
Slate was my first android tab. My second one is agalaxy 8.9. Both are great and they do everything my family wants without rooting.

Sure I had my vibrant rooted to get free hotspot feature. Sure I plan do same thing with my new SGSII. But both tabs are doing just fine without me screwing them up by flashing some unreliable crap that may brick $500 device.

I would have to either sick rich or sm to stick a finger into a crap and later be sorry for what I did.

Try to use your tab without thinking "f*** its still not rooted". If it still gives you a heartburn sell it and for raised money get some fun outdoors. Life is great all around you and you do not need this ****.

I still would be the possibility to make a Data Wipe, with the help of Fastboot is possible without problem ...

First Put the tablet into Fastboot mode

2.fastboot oem unlock

3.fastboot-w

4.fastboot reboot

The tablet then it restarts and it was reset to factory setting

Here ya go...

I have been in and out of the hospital and haven't got much done on the BL but I will. I see many posts asking about the downgrader to 3.0.1 with the SBK I released but no one has posted it. So here ya guys go. CR-Downgrader/Unbricker Download it, unzip it, open a terminal within the unzipped directory. Put the slate into nvflash mode and connect the USB cable. Either run the sh or open it and then copy and paste the full string cmd in the terminal. This will use the SBK to allow a reflash of all the partitions and set you back to original 3.0.1. This will NOT however unlock the BL at this point but it is what it is.

Secondly... I haven't used my slate in a while and just came back to it in the hospital and now netflix wont work? I had a working version even after the 3.1 update. Anyone manage to get the new ones working. DDMS throws DRM errors and all that jazz and I am wondering if anything has been achieved with this. Maybe replacing the old DRM certs? OMX libs? There are even DRM libs as well. I dont have a system dump of 3.0.1 to grab old files and play with them currently at my disposal.

@ChiefzReloaded:

Thanks a lot for the downgrade! It worked perfectly! I used it along with my backed up system.img to go back to 3.0.1 on my rogers optimus pad. I lost my 3g connection when I flashed the 3.1 upgrade (apparently rogers and t-mobile use a different umts frequency) ad so I was hoping that reflashing my original system.img would solve the problem but it didn't. I still only get an edge connection, even with the apn set correctly. Am I right in assuming then that the baseband stuff is in another partition? I see a radio partition in the list on the google code page, if I could get a hold of an .img of that partition from another rogers optimus pad owner and flash it on mine would that do the trick? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
