[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
unconfirmed...what we know is that he had 1.2 4349 out of the box, stock firmware. There are a few possibilities. This could be a Tiger Direct return that was repackaged and sold as new. It could also be a direct from VS return that was repackaged as new, OR, VS actually sent a stock of G-Tablets to Tiger Direct that were packaged with the 4349 firmware on it.

Either way, people need to be careful when flashing roms and such. XDA has not, so far, made it clear which roms, kernels, and CWM versions are good on which bootloader. Some have been asking that devs start exiting posts to indicate which bootloader is needed for each mod, to attempt to avoid confusion.

We must also realize that new G-Tablets are being bought every day, and not every owner is knowledgable of the issues of the recent past, with VS, NVidea, 1.1, 1.2, etc. Most people probably, reasonably, assume that they can open it, root it, and start flashing whatever they want, not even aware that there is a difference.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imarinkrat1:
TJ is absolutely right. The CM7 wiki says nothing about different bootloaders and such.

Also, I got the tablet from here:

Which links to Tiger Direct via eBay. The condition of the Item was listed as new:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
You are right! You can't ask developper who posted rom month ago to specify the bootloader, rules of thumb apply here, if they do not specify the bootloader then it's a 1.1 since people making newer rom are aware of the new bootloader.

Beside

a few sticky will bring you up to date on how thing work!

To move from a 1.2 bootloader back to a 1.1 you need to use the UPDATE.ZIP method with a STOCK recovery, CW can't flash the bootloader and NVFLASH either!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
It would be nice to just edit the titles of the threads to include "1.1 ROM"

is that really too much to ask?

I think my device might be bricked.

I was going to attempt to install Clockwork Recovery, so I plugged it in to my USB port, transferred the files, unmounted the partition, and did "adb reboot recovery".

Now, it's showing the ViewSonic logo, and at the top it says "Booting recovery kernel image". It's hung there like that for 20 minutes. I tried rebooting multiple times, and it always goes to this screen and hangs. I don't know what to do from here.

I tried running "adb devices", and nothing comes up. I tried powering off, and holding volume-up and power, same deal. Nothing responds.

The device literally shipped to my house today. Should I send it back?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imarinkrat1:
I had the same exact problem. I think somehow I(we) messed up the 'Recovery Partition', but don't get too worried. If you would like to install Clockwork Recovery go through the steps in this thread, but don't run 'nvflash_gtablet.bat'. When you get to here, stop 'Connect your G-Tablet to your PC using your miniUSB to USB cable that came with your tablet.':

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

Once you have done that, go through the steps in this thread (You already did step 1):

All of this will install Clockwork Recovery using NVFlash.

I purchased a recertified GTab from Tiger Direct for my wife, and I ran into the same issues noted throughout this thread when following the article on the CGM wiki. My GTab's info follows:

I'm in the correct mode, I made sure all files are correct, including the cfg, etc. Does anyone have any ideas? Right now, the wife is stuck with the original TnT, which works, just sucks. I cannot get into recovery mode, so I was trying to get CWM installed per this thread, and I ran into the above problem. ANY help is appreciated, seriously. Thanks all!

Here are two links with information to help you restore the tablet:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SurfKahuna:
Thank you! Wow, after scouring the Internet, you point me to a place that's literally written for dummies... just that easy. The kicker was following this page: http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/nvflash.htm. I grabbed nvflash with stock rom and cmw pre-installed, fixed my issue. I'm now in CWM. Time to grab a 1.2-enabled ROM. Yeah baby!

stock ROM 1.2 branch zip with CWM pre-installed
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djab67:
Awesome! I am glad you found the right solution.

The "Viewsonic GTablet For Dummies" site belongs to xda-member goodintentions (he is also on slatedroid with the same name). His site was one I used heavily when trying to restore my g tablet.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockar007:
just checked my battery useage and was kinda shocked: gps status uses most battery

i get _decent_ battery life out of my sgs2. 60% after ~24h with moderate useage. so it does not drain the battery but

i never did turn on gps since the last charge so its strange why gps status uses battery... the process is not shown as running which is also strange...

i have german sgs2 with KE2 (no updates in Kies shown for my device so far). unrooted phone.

edit: i dont want deinstall the program as i get extreme fast gps fix (< 5 seconds) so i wanted to hear if anyone else is having similar experiences with the program first...

Okay basically I'm seeing some of my albums greyed out. At first i thought it was just showing songs on my device as opposed to songs in the cloud. But when I open some of those greyed out albums and click play, it starts playing! I have music player to stream music only over wifi. And even when my xoom is in airplane mode, it still playback those greyed out albums. Some tell me what those greyed out albums mean? Is it possible those songs are cached on my xoom??
[Xoom General] flakmonkey:
just uncheck "just stream in wlan" in settings ;-)

It usualy means that the gray files are in the cloud an at the moment not accesseble...

Has anyone experienced any sort of tear or glitch on the screen once in a while? It doesn't happen a lot and is barely noticeable. Comes once in a while. Is this a hardware problem of some sort?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssserpentine:
Havent noticed what you describe, but while watching a streaming video in the stock browser i noticed a white dot in lower right corner of screen and upper left. Looks like lcd is going out. But if i move the window, it fills in. But it comes back randomly.

Its like driver isnt communicatung with the screen correctly or something. . . . . .

Idk.

I flashed back to stock. Problem gone. Go back to gingerbread. Its back.

I believe i read somewhere that its an sgs driver and not even for the tab. Did i imagine reading that or could this be the problem at the base of all our gingerbread issues? It has happened on stock, with and without cf root, overcome beta 1 and 2.

Seems to me that this new gingerbread is a lemon. I mean just look at all the problems people are having with it.

[Android] darknessrise1234:
Okay so we have progress now. Without doing anything to the rom, I flash it with Clockwork 3.0. Then I flash drowning kernel 7. It will go through boot like normal, but once I get to lockscreen, I let it sit unlocked for about 10 minutes. It came up with the setup window. As soon as I attempted to select my network, it rebooted. I'm guessing this means something within the rom isn't compatible, such as the core files?

:EDIT:: I decided I'd try a 2.2 ROM from the Legend. I did so, installed an HTC Aria Froyo kernel, worked just fine. So now my guess is the kernel. Anyone have an opinion they could share? Anything would be nice.
[Android] 50-3:
I'm guessing your porting ogo2's ROM?

If it is the case then it might have something to do with it only being in beta...

I have a legend and was only able to get it to work after modding it myself...

Might want to wait till there is a Release version before going for the port.

Or start from scratch with the leaked Wildfire S ROM.
[Android] darknessrise1234:
Yes that is the rom. But I have thoughts of it being the kernel, but I'm not sure.

I'm not exactly sure if you could port from the HTC Hero CDMA, but over in our development section we have GingerSense up and running. Only a few things like Bluetooth, MMS and camera zoom don't work. Other than that its solid. Try that and see if it works. Good luck!

I have to pull the battery each time when I go to reboot or shut down.. if I don't pull the battery, it acts as if the phone is still on and drains the battery.

Some of the steps I've taken include wiping cache/davlik/data, switching ROMS, and flashing the latest clockwork. None seem to have resolved the issue. I'm currently running a nightly build of CM7, but the issue exists when I was on other ROMs as well.
