[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashton555:
thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I am not having any luck getting the dmesg.txt file for you. I downloaded the iso image for Knoppix 6 but when I boot off the disc it starts processing everything but then it gives an error "the file /mnt-system/knoppix/knoppix is broken. then after about 30 secs it gives the following

/sbin/init: line 76: syntax error near unexpected token '/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/a010013l.pfb'

/sbin/init: line 76: '/URWGothicL-Book (usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/a010013l.pfb);

I will try and download the iso from a different site and burn another disc.

I also tried a different route and loaded SDK manager to get to ADB by that route. I am running windows 7 if that makes a difference. I am not 100% sure when I am supposed to run the adb command line you listed. Do I have my gtab running clockworkmod and then mount USB so it will show up on my pc? Do I have to try and perform a backup and then run the adb command when it freezes? I don't think I can do that because if I navigate away from the mount USB it automatically unmounts it. Anyway adb doesn't appear to be seeing the gtab anyway. When I run the SDK manager it does not find any android devices. If I run the "adb devices" command it comes back with no devices. So I am not sure what basic thing I am missing to get adb or SDK to recognize the gtab.

I apologize for my lack of knowledge on adb. Your first link says if I have adb already set up to run adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt while in clockworkmod so I am assuming I do this after mounting USB to get the pc to recognize the gtab.

I will try download and burn another iso image from a different location and see if I can boot off a disc. Assuming this time it is successful do I run the ADB command you listed in the second link while the GTab is mounted to USB and recognized by the pc? Hopefully ADB will see it if I can get this to work.

*update* I downloaded the ISO image from a different location. When I went to the folder it was downloaded to I noticed that the first ISO image I downloaded was only approx 100MB in size instead of 700+ mb. So I am re-burning another disc. Hopefully this will allow me to boot properly.

*update #2* I was able to successfully boot off of the new disc. Now I just need to figure out how and where to enter the adb command line in your link ($ sudo ./adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt) i tried this using the Shell option but it says command not found. If I choose the File Manager option and navigate to where the adb file is that was in your linked zip file it just prompts me to edit/copy/move/rename or delete the file. I am out of time tonight so I will work on it more tomorrow. The good news though is that when I use File Manager the Gtab is listed so it is at least recognized. Now I just need to figure out how to get the dmesg.txt file you request but making some progress... I think :)

Step by step instructions in this post.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashton555:
thanks a bunch. Those instructions were easy to follow and made sense. I have never used linux before but alot of it reminded me back of my old unix days (terminal commands that is).

Anyway I think I did everything correct and I am now attaching the txt file.

Thanks again for your help and patience with this Linux newbie :) let me know if I need to provide any additional information.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
You did indeed. And I can't see any obvious problems with the NAND-flash device, judging from the kernel messages.

Since you've already tried to take backups using CWM before, that action should've created a log file. This file might be useful. Retrieve it. Inside an xterm window on Linux, run:

hostpc$ [B]sudo ./adb pull /cache/recovery/log recovery.log[/B]

Attach this "recovery.log" file.

Next, try to read, one by one, the NAND flash partitions that CWM usually backs up. Here's an example run on my gTablet:

hostpc$ [B]sudo ./adb shell[/B] [I]Get into the shell in CWM[/I]
~ # [B]dump_image boot /dev/null[/B]
~ # [B]dump_image recovery /dev/null[/B]
~ # [B]dump_image system /dev/null[/B]
mtd: read error at 0x029a0000 (I/O error)
mtd: read error at 0x02da0000 (I/O error)
~ # [B]dump_image cache /dev/null[/B]
~ #

Type in only the commands in bold.

As you can see, my "system" partition on the NAND flash has errors (and the kernel also report this when it boots), but, the command will not hang. According to the kernel message that you just supplied, you don't have any errors on your onboard NAND flash, so, theoretically, you shouldn't get any errors at all. But, we'll see if the dump_image command hangs when reading system just like CWM does.

And if the dump_image command does hang somewhere, we can see if formatting just that system partition will get it working again. There is a utility on this board which we could use for doing that, though I've never tried it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashton555:
I successfully completed the next two tasks. I am attaching the recovery.log file. Note I had an issue copying the .log file to where I could access it in win7 (for some reason I cant attach a file while in linux). I opened it with a word processor and then saved it to my c drive which messed up the formatting. So I opened it in Word to get the formatting correct and saved it as a txt file so thats why the attached file is recovery.txt. Let me know if it messed it up to where its not useable.

On the second task

~ # dump_image boot /dev/null

this worked fine and quick

~ # dump_image recovery /dev/null

this worked fine and quick

~ # dump_image system /dev/null

this worked but took maybe 10-15 seconds

~ # dump_image cache /dev/null

this one gave an I/O error but completed the dump

mtd: read error at 0x00080000 (I/O error)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
The file is just fine... and I can't see any error messages in it.

This is normal -- "system" partition is ~200MB.

This also looks like normal behaviour, but, I'm puzzled that the kernel did not report any bad blocks on this partition. Check if this is a transient error:

1. Repeat the "dump_image cache ..." command a few times and see if the I/O error location is the same.

2. Try to "fix" the error on the cache partition by using the "wipe cache partition" menu item in CWM. Do this a couple of times.

3. Run the "dump_image cache ..." command again.

4. Attempt another full system backup using CWM.

If step 4 fails, we'll see if the writing of the backup to the sdcard is the problem, because the reading seems to be completing without any hangs as of now.

BTW, the most important partitions are all being read fine. The "cache" partition is not that important -- it can be empty (but not corrupt) each time the system boots and only the initial bootup might go a little slower.

And, if, in the end of all this, you can't use CWM at all, you can still make a full system backup using nvflash and a few Unix commands.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashton555:
1. Repeat the "dump_image cache ..." command a few times and see if the I/O error location is the same

....i did the dump 4 times and it always gave the same I/O location

2. Try to "fix" the error on the cache partition by using the "wipe cache partition" menu item in CWM. Do this a couple of times

.... I wiped the cache 4 times successsfully

3. Run the "dump_image cache ..." command again.

.... same I/O error location

4. Attempt another full system backup using CWM

.... still freezing at backing up system

So I guess I need to try and do the backup with NVFlash and unix/linux commands? If you have a link on how to do that I will give it a try or I can search for it and see if there is a discussion thread on it.

Thanks again for your help and trying to resolve this

Question - if I started over from scratch and went back to stock and then loaded vegan gingerbread would this issue possibly correct itself? Also more importantly if I back up some apps using titanium backup before I go back to stock can I then restore them with Titanium once I have vegan ginger back loaded? Also if I loaded vegan 5.1.1 could I restore the same apps I backed up in vegan ginger? Hopefully that made sense. I don't mind starting from scratch if I need to I just wasnt sure if I would permanently lose certain apps I have loaded. It's only about 10 apps I care about

*update* - well I think I am going to be forced to start over anyway. After wiping the cache a couple times and attempting another backup (froze again at backing up system) I now can't get the gtab to boot completely. It is stuck at the flashing vegan ginger edition screen. It flashes for awhile then the screen goes black then it goes back to the flashing screen again. I know you said it would take longer to boot up the first time after wiping the cache but was doing the flash cycling for over an hour which I assume is too long? I tried wiping the cache again and I also wiped the davlik cache as someone suggested in another thread but it is back to being stuck in the flashing screen loop. Assuming I do have to start over can I at least boot to CWM, mount ext USB and copy off the titanium backup files I made so I can restore some of the paid for apps?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Looks like a permanent I/O error in the cache partition, then. But, I don't understand why it is "system" which is hanging on backup.

Get me the recovery.log.

I'll think this over during the weekend. In the mean-time, read through this thread. You can safely take a complete backup of your tablet while I do a bit of experimentation on a clockworkmod-like solution. But, I suspect that you may not be able to backup "cache" using nvflash going by the I/O errors. I have errors on my "system" partition and a nvflash backup fails on it, but CWM doesn't have any problems backing up and restoring.

Probably not. But, see this thread. It shows you how to wipe all the partitions on the NAND flash device. We don't need to format the entire NAND flash. We can see if doing a few repeated formats of the "system" and "cache" partitions gets CWM working again, if you're willing to wipe "system"--you will have to load Vegan-Ginger right after this.

I haven't used Titanium backup so I can't say how well it works, but, judging from the reports that other users have made, what you're suggesting should work without any problems. User downloaded applications are stored either on /data or on /mnt/sdcard (for apps moved to SD card). Since your SD cards don't seem to be affected, you can go ahead with Titanium backup.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Yeah, copy the files in CWM, then just do a "wipe data/factory reset" and see if it boot loop goes away.

But, before you do that, gimme a half-hour and I'll send you commands which you can use to save the files in /data and /sdcard. I just have to compile and test a new version of busybox. The tar command already present in CWM doesn't seem to work properly for me.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashton555:
Attaching the recovery file

I am running the nvflash back up right now.

It successfully did part-1.img through part-11.img with no errors. The last thing it said though is

"rem CACHE PARTITION BACKUP NOT NEEDED

"nvflash.exe" -r --read 12 part-12.img

press enter to continue

Is this maybe because I wiped the cache and it's empty?

I looked on my ext SD card and the titanium backup files are there (except for a couple I had forgotten do ....) so I think I am okay for going back to square one if need be.

I will go ahead (tomorrow probably) try doing what is described thread about wiping partitions on the NAND device and just formating the system and cache partitions. I am assuming that at this point I guess its okay to go ahead and try to load vegan tab 5.1.1 instead of ginger again since I wanted to try out 5.1.1 anyway or if you have any experience with it would you recommend Brilliant Corners instead since its a newer rom. I think I will have to reload the 1.2 bootloader which is okay.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
No errors in there.

I think so. The cache partition isn't that important anyway, so it can be skipped.

I would suggest that you copy the Titanium backed-up apps safely away immediately, then format just the system and cache partitions as per that thread. You will need to be in APX mode to use nvflash.

Immediately after the nvflash, (since the system partition is now gone), boot into CWM, then do a factory reset, repartition the internal sdcard, copy the Vegan-5.1.1 update file onto the now clean sdcard through the PC and then flash it. This should give you a clean slate.

Then check if you can do a backup using CWM. If you still can't, then I'll see if a solution can be devised to do partial backups.

And, I have tried neither Vegan* nor Brilliant Corners, so the choice is up to you.

Sorry, my test commands aren't working so I can't send you those commands I promised to back up your /data and /system--I suspect a bad USB cable.

[HTC Sensation] Dolphinwigs:
Htc sync suite says there is an update for it. so i download the update and try to install it and it says that the one i have is newer than the update and that I have to delete my current one in order to install this one. Basically this doesn't make any sense. Why would the program say there is an update for it when this "update" is an older version.

Should I delete my current and install the older one? ???

Mine is HTC sync 3.0 according to the ABOUT tab in HTC sync. It may have come from my Sensation 4g. But every time I turn on my computer it says there is an update, but it is an older version than the one installed..

anyone else getting this? and should i uninstall mine and install the "update" (the update is same as the one on the HTC website).
[HTC Sensation] Dolphinwigs:
anyone? some insight please?
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
if you want to set up your htc sync settings again its not necessarily going to hurt if you uninstall and update (if it really is an update as your allude too).... its not going to destroy your computer in anyway or your phone... and if you do a full uninstall and install the update (again if it is an update) it may rectify your issue of it saying there are updates when there isnt really an update
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex Charles:
I know this likely is likely going to sound pedantic, but how to I prevent going through setup/ losing my homescreen when I flash an item to the phone (eg a new boot animation) seems that everything I do reverts the phone to initial set up.

Note that when I restore the backup prior to the flash, everything returns to normal.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex Charles:
Any suggestions?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
Your question is little confusing. What I got is, while experimenting if something goes wrong and your phone gets stuck in a boot loop, then how to recover it right. If it is then,,,,

I think a boot animation will not make a device in a bootloop (phone boots with no boot animation). But other things do. If you have pc , then you should boot into recovery and mount system , then use adb to push the original backed up contents to the respective folders. Then you should change the permissions of those things from adb itself (the command I don't know correctly) . And if you can submit a logcat to more experienced devs, they can understand what goes wrong and what to fix.

And if you dont have a pc and want to do everything from the mobile itself, then I think you should make a recovery flashable zip with the original backed up things before even experimenting (don't know this too). So that if anything goes wrong you should flash the original things from the phone recovery itself.

Edit: ofcourse, nandroid backup and nandroid restore are the easiest ways, but they fill up your sdcard memory. Matters if you have a small size sdcard.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex Charles:
Why thanks!

Was very helpful, didn't realise it was that confusing to understand.

Works now, thanks the adb push worked great :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sotodefonk:
Ah ok, that make more sense...

You only need to enter settings>display>tv out and activate it there. If it doesnt work, probably the cable you bought is not compatible, or some roms dont have tv out working, so maybe you sould try with an stock firmware, to see if the cable works.
