Sadly, there is nothing you really can do. You can try to make a nandroid backup and then copy the image off to the computer, but you will need to perform an nvflash to correct the boot loop issue. It is a known bug and unfortunately, you found it. After the nvflash try copying back over your ROM in clockwork and restoring.

Good luck.

Actually, there is an easy way to fix this. See this thread.

sent a pm to you rajeev. Still being a novice, how to get into adb mode on windows 7?
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
There is no "adb mode" as such. All you have to do to run adb commands is to ensure that it recognizes the gTab (by installing the USB drivers on Windows), then put the tablet into recovery mode and then type that command line in a CMD.exe window.

To set up adb see this sticky thread.

If you've used nvflash successfully before then you can use that to wipe the misc partition instead of using adb. See this post.

No need to ask--go right ahead.
[G Tablet Android Development] satishraman:
help...

Thanks Rajeev for your response.

I did flash my gtab and tried partitioning even before seeing your post.

I am still in boot recovery. Unfortuately, screwed up so much and still stuck in boot recovery mode (even after nvflashing)..

The things I am able to perform:

1. connect to cwm recovery v3.0.2.8 (GTab 1.2 and NI Adam rev5).

2. connect to the computer and see my gtab in usb mode.

should I do a complete nv flash?
[G Tablet Android Development] mydave1:
Hello rajeevvp,

Man, your bag of knowledge has no bottom. ;) .

It appears that you are more comfortable with nvflash than with adb at the moment. I'd, if I were you, use Option 3 in the OP and start over again. Then use Option 2 to install flashback.

Dave
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
Unless you've messed up your ROM install trying to fix this problem, you don't need a complete nvflash.

Simply put, just try one of these methods:

1. Wipe the misc partition using nvflash

a) Put the gTablet into APX mode using Power and Vol [-].

b) Connect the USB cable and type this command (while in the directory containing both the nvflash program and the bootloader.bin file):

C:\SOME\PATH> [B].\nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --format_partition 7 --go[/B]

2. Wipe the misc partition using adb and CWM commands

a) Put the gTablet into recovery mode using Power and Vol [+].

b) Connect the USB cable and type this command (you must have adb installed and set up for this):

C:\SOME\PATH> [B]adb shell erase_image misc[/B]

BTW, wiping the battery stats is not going to fix an incorrect charge indication problem. The batterystats.bin file that you're wiping just holds battery usage statistics information--what you see under Settings > Application > Battery use.

On the gTab, Android gets the current state of charge, called the RSOC (relative state of charge), from the kernel, and the kernel gets it directly from the hardware. If the hardware reports incorrect values, that's what you will see. Please see this post for details.

That is a good idea. Maybe you could start a similar thread on this board.

I assure you that it does--and, for Android, that bottom is pretty shallow.

I found a mini wireless keyboard with mousepad (product page http://usb.brando.com/rii-mini-wireless-keyboard_p01476c034d15.html) and I was wondering if it would work with the latest 10.1 release

any info would be appreciated, but if nobody has tried, I guess I'll give it a go and update.

thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I say this a lot... bluetooth is bluetooth and all should work with all. If it doesn't it is more of a fluke than a limitation. This specific product has been around for a while under many names and has received very mixed reviews. I would look around as you may be able to get it cheaper.

found on amazon for under $30 shipped...gonna try it out. thanks for the quick response!

edit: I received it, and it worked great, but it wasn't that comfortable to use because the trackpad is to the right of the keyboard. I bought a different one for the same price and will try that one out.
[G Tablet Android Development] satishraman:
I think I did mess up my ROM and when I go into my d: (drive assigned for gtab), I do not see any files but my music files. I must have deleted all the files in my learning process .

I had do a full NVFlash (flashed with the one with CWM3...).

Can I update the CWM with that of your version? If yes, can I use the NVFlash files (with CWM in it) and just replace your .img file with that within NVFlash files?

(Pl. Ignore my PM's to you rajeev).

Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
What you see as D: is most likely the FAT32 partition on the internal SD card. You can delete most directories on this partition and not adversely affect your ROM install. If all you've done is delete stuff in D:, then your ROM install is likely still fine. Read these 2 posts for the reasons why:

SD card partitions

NAND Flash partitions

You can update CWM whenever you want. Just use the correct image for your bootloader version--1.2 in your case.

I wouldn't recommend that. Use the command given in the OP for CWM-4.0.1.5, instead.
[G Tablet Android Development] overground:
I have that exact model at home and love it (received as a gift). I have never attempted to pair it with my Gtab, but other BT keyboards work great with it. If you want, I'll give that KB a shot tonight when I get home.
[G Tablet Android Development] jazzruby:
Hi overground,

narddawg314 posted about a Rii Mini Wireless Keyboard yet you said you would attempt to pair it.

Do you have the Rii Mini Wireless Keyboard or the Rii Mini Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad

I'd be interested to know how that 'Mini Bluetooth' pairs with the gTab

Thanks,

-JR-
[G Tablet Android Development] overground:
Well, mine may be that model (it sure looks like it).

This is where mine came from: http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/keyboards-mice/e0e7/?srp=1

And yes, I have the BT version. The gift was originally the 2.4ghz version, but I returned it for the BT model.

Since there's interest, I'll give it a whirl tonight and post back tomorrow.
[G Tablet Android Development] jazzruby:
Thanks, yea they sure do look the same.
[G Tablet Android Development] overground:
Update: OK. Nowhere can I find Rii on the device, but that may just be a labeling / branding thing.

Paired immediately.

Everything functions - Mouse (touchpad) & KB.

Tested on 10.1

Will be installing 10.2 tomorrow.
[G Tablet Android Development] pattyboh:
Ok, I have been having issues with restoring backups to my gtab via CWM. So I ran a backup tonight of 10.2, didn't move it, or copy it, just tried to restore. I keep getting the same error MD5 Mismatch!

I am thinking I had a bad NVFlash, or maybe and bad install of CWM? Any suggestions? I am not opposed to NVFlashing again, most of my data, pics and such has been backed up on TiBu. I am just wondering if I am doing something wrong. Suggestions?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I suggest performing a nvflash. Then, see if you can restore the backup you just made. Either way, copy off your important files in case you wish to go nuclear and format the sdcard while you are at it... which is not a bad practice after x amount of flashes.
[G Tablet Android Development] pattyboh:
By formatting SD Card, is that basically option 2 on the first page of this thread? I am thinking I should just do that.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Absolutely, nvflash and option two. When it comes time to partition the card do 4096/0 and then 2048/0. This makes doubly sure that your info is killed. There have been reports of fragmented data hanging around after performing a 1-step partition.
[G Tablet Android Development] pattyboh:
Thanks Tek, I am pretty comfortable with this stuff, just not up on all of the terms, but getting there. I think something happened when I nvflashed. I sent it back to VS for a new screen, I can't remember if I partitioned the sd card or not.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
No worries. Let me know when you get it back and we can get you up to speed.
[G Tablet Android Development] jazzruby:
Thanks overground, I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these.

DocmentsToGo results in 'market vending stopped'

I'm having the same problem in Flashback 10.3 for the first time with Market 3.3.11. Came from 8.3 and earlier FB mods without the DTG issue. I partitioned (2048/0), did a full wipe then loaded 10.3 ROM with CWM. After the vending stopped error I repeated the full wipe, the market fix and removed/re-installed my google account all without success.

I also own the paid key to DTG and it loaded fine from the Market.

Did you or anyone post a solution to this apparently isolated problem?

For me FB 10.3 has been the most stable and nearly perfect G Table ROM excepting of course, the missing hardware GPU support (which keeps a warm fuzzy for Froyo alive as it has the missing support). Great work from many contributors!

Thanks.

Often times when I put my tablet to sleep, sometime during that period, it decides its gonna completely shut off. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but it's starting to get annoying, I moved from 10.1 to 10.3 using the clean option provided, and it;s to my belief that it has only gotten worse. Is there a way to fix it?

looking for a 10.2 link

Hey All,

I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I just have not been able to get 10.3 to run as smooth as 10.2 or even 10.1> I have tried everything you can think of and im having issues ive never had, so until further notice, im willing to go back to 10.2 but cant find a link, only to 10.1, does anyone happen to have a copy on their pc or know where i can get it online?

Thanks for the time.
[G Tablet Android Development] sjmoreno:
I don't know if you are experiencing the same thing but often times my gTab looks like it's suffering from the Sleep Of Death but I once read somewhere either here on XDA or on Slatedroid to try pushing the volume up and volume down switch a few times and then trying the power button to wake the tablet up. It may not wake on the first try but within two or three seconds of me trying the volume keys and the power key it wakes up ALWAYS for me. Since I've tried that method I have been able to wake my gTab without resorting to a hard reboot consistently when it looks like the tablet is asleep.

It's worth a shot.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
The only difference are kernel modules. They should not affect performance. Try wiping cache and dalvik. If you are overclocked, try changing the settings until you find a happy medium.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Oh ok i didnt know the only difference was the kernel.

As Im typing this i do know that i installed the Honeycombtrial5 kernel and that indeed could have been the reason for the abnormal things happening. I will try with the kernel that comes with and see if the problems persist.

No sound from ringtones I copy into the tablet

I have been unsuccessfully trying to add my own ringtones to this rom. I am able to copy the files to /system/media/audio/ringtones and /system/media/audio/notifications and without problem; however when I try to select the ringtone or notification tone I want in "settings, sound or within gmail I get no sound from those new files.

Hey Mike, how did you do standard market fix? thx
[G Tablet Android Development] nunjabusiness:
If you have a T2, I think maybe there is enough difference between that hardware and the G-tablet (T1?) that there are issues with some drivers.

I'm assuming the stock ROM had no touchscreen problems?
[G Tablet Android Development] raphenucleus:
I think you have to add the files to the corresponding folders on the sd card (/sdcard/Notifications, /sdcard/Ringtones, etc.), not the folders in /system/media/audio/... like it's been before in other ROMs. That's what I did and I can use the notification sounds I added just fine.

I think it just added support for connecting to ad hoc networks (like when you use wifi tethering to connect to the data network on your phone). I hadn't tried it out on this ROM yet, but I'm glad this was added as I'm sure I'll be using it in the future.

Flashback/Illuminate

Whats the difference in these 2 roms. i've been using illuminate, which is great for the most part, some crahes here and ether. but there hasn't been any updates.
[G Tablet Android Development] itoig:
in addition, how does this rom differ from gtabcomb beta 2.0 from zyhong. other then his is in BL1.1 and yours is for 1.2.
[G Tablet Android Development] Will Eatforfood:
hahaha I'm on the other boat wondering how is illuminate.

Flashback 5.2 uses the latest pershoot kernel (7/2/11), and fixed ad hoc, and is pretty reliable.

Google earth does NOT work for me. It worked on 4.2 and after that, it just crashes when I zoom in.

My playstation emulators work great, no issues there.

For me, flashback 5.2 has a crash rate or reboot of about 2 times/hr with dependencies on how intensive the applications are. I don't mind the incompatible stuff, just the reboots. Considering flashing LBS kernel to see if it gets better.

i had vegan 5.1 and decided to take a go on this new rom... I installed a stock rom using and downloading from this post.

After that i installed this rom using cwm 2.5.1.1 .08...

it gave me an

E:unknown command [bootloader]
E:unknown command [/tmp/bootloader.bin][

install from SD card complete.

But i cant reboot it.. stays stuck on the birds logo...

Im guessing it has something to do with that unknown command.. i wiped cache, data and dalvik...

I was having this problem last night. It showed up out of nowhere after I wiped cache and dalvik and fixed permissions. I've definitely been using CWM v3.0.2.8, so that wasn't the issue for me. Restoring a backup from several days ago didn't fix the problem. I finally NVFlashed using stock 1.2 (4349) with CMW pre-installed and that fixed it for me. I then restored the backup from several days ago and got all my data, apps, settings, and desktop configuration back.

[G Tablet Android Development] tlbardelljr:
adam714 are you having these problems on Flashback?
[G Tablet Android Development] raphenucleus:
Google Earth works fine for me on Alpha 5.2. You might want to try clearing the cache and/or clearing the data in the app (Settings>Applications>Manage applications) and see if that fixes it.

Two crashes per hour seems like a lot. Are you talking about simple FCs in certain apps or major components of the system crashing? Simple FCs are pretty normal and are usually caused by incompatibilities within the apps when you try to do something that's not supported or the app doesn't like. Major system crashes shouldn't be happening that often; I think I've had one since installing this ROM over a week ago. If you're experiencing a lot of major crashes, you might want to try a full data wipe. If that doesn't do it, try NVFlashing back to stock and then reinstalling everything from there.
