Magic value mismatch.

Among the files that u tried to flash, I noticed that there is one file that yo didn't try

FORMAT.zip

http://www.mediafire.com/?a8sptd6u556qr2j

1.) Go to this website http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/

2.) Go to code detox

3.) Use the "special nvflash" known as "format nvflash.zip files"

This Nvflash removes every single image and setting you flashed on your gtab. After the format.zip nvflash done its job, it will show up "magic value mismatch"

Using format.zip, any damage you done on your tablet shud be wiped clean. (the format.zip removes everything, even the bootloader and etc).

After u do ur format.zip nvflash, you need to determine what kind of bootloader your gtab is. (BL 1.1 or BL 1.2). It will help if you remember what kind of rom you used previously to determine the bootloader.

After that, run the nvflash with cwm (1.1 or 1.2), then it shud be ok.....

(at least this is how i do)

Hope it helps

maestro2702,

If you can connect to your g tablet in APX mode, then I think steps I documented in a guide should work for you. If you follow the steps in the guide exactly (including the listed downloads), your tablet will be on bootloader 1.2 when finished. It should not matter what bootloader you had originally.

Couple notes for when the tablet is working again:

Follow roebeet's Mountain Laurel instructions to switch over from stock to clockworkmod recovery.

Once clockworkmod recovery is flashed, go ahead and try any bootloader 1.2 rom you want.

Hi Fury7, tried this one this morning, and unfortunally, i get stuck on the birdscreen again. Earlier in this topic someone suggested it could be a memory(NAND) issue, and i am starting to believe it is.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maestro2702:
djab67

i'm reading your instructions now, quit some text, but i will let you know if it worked out.

thanks anyway.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury7:
Just a question. You know which bootloader are you using?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maestro2702:
@fury7

At this point there is no bootloader on my tablet, i cant get one to install.

When i link it to my PC, the only thing i see that it is visible as an external disk, which cannot be accessed. When i try to install a bootloader, i need to use the SD Card, and that is not working either. At this point it is not possible to get further than the 1st screen, the bootloader doesn't come up when installed. tried severall versions. ADP i cannot get to work with the tablet, because it is only visible as an external disk which cannot be accessed by the W7 PC.

So i am starting to believe there is something wrong with the hardware.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djab67:
maestro2702,

I am sorry to hear the tablet is still giving you problems. It could be hardware related, hopefully not.

Did you try the steps in the guide I posted yet? I know steps have worked for others and I would highly recommend following them exactly for the greatest chance of success. All you need is APX mode to get started and based on your previous posts it sounds like you're good there.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Lets start at the beginning. Exactly what happens when you hold Vol(+) and hold Power?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maestro2702:
@aabbondanza

1 - then i'll see a screen with 3 birds.

2 - Recovery key detected appears.

3 - Booting recovery kernel image

4 - nothing else. here it stops

It looks like it's a hardware issue, and i believe the drive has passed. A small part of the SSD seems to be reserved for booting. Whatever i do,i cannot get pass the 1st screen.

I think i need to find someone with a similar sort of drive, so i can connect that to the tablet, and see if that works.

1 question, can i fool the tablet with a USB stick??
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maestro2702:
@djab67

to get into APX mode isn't the problem, to pass the 1st screenand get into the booting screen, that won't do(unfortunally)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maestro2702:
At this point i am trying to find someone who is able and experienced enough to repair the tablet.

Malata seems to be a beautiful company who doesn't want to know anything about guarantee and solve these kind of issue's with tablets which are 6 month old after purchasing. (have mailed them more than once).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maestro2702:
btw, yes i did try some of the steps you mentioned, but there was one issue i noticed directly at the start....

ADB requires a device which it can enter, and that wasn't possible. my system did see the tablet, but as a device which cannot be entered. So unfortunally ADB didn't do the trick. and after that disappointing moment i stopped...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Not convinced it's hardware issue.

If you are getting that message then you have the stock recovery installed. Stock recovery is looking for a file on called update.zip & recovery folder. Do you know which bootloader branch you are on 1.1 or 1.2 (or which one you want to be on)? Once you decide/determine we can look at install the stock rom the other way (non nvflash) since you are having nvflash issues. Do you have an external sd card & can you connect it to your PC?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djab67:
maestro2702,

Following "some" of the steps is not the intent of the guide. You really should try following it exactly. Don't let the ADB steps keep you from starting. The guide only uses ADB once you are booted all the way into a ROM.

If you have ADB access problems once you are fully booted, then the issue is either with your pc's drivers ( assuming windows) and/ or your ADB setup.

Please take the time to try the guide exactly.

I am not convinced yet either that it is a hardware issue. The only potential hardware problem post I followed for a while was a case where nvflash would hang at initializing the bootloader and it appeared the owner had everything setup correctly.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maestro2702:
ok, i want to be on 1.2.

I have an external SD cart, and it is possible to connect it to the PC.

Please let me know the other install possibility by not using NVFlash.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maestro2702:
Ok,

i have to go to work in a couple of minutes,but i'll give it another try tonight when i'm home again. I'll let you also know what the outcome is.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maestro2702:
After sending my tablet to a repair center in holland(not through Malata) i received the message they could not repair it. They thought the boot section was corrupted, and they had no knowledge how to solve this. As you can see, i have tried a lot of things, but nothing seems to work.

Now is my question, how to repair the boot section. Can someone point me to the right direction?

Dave,
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maestro2702:
Hi Dave, the problem is not i can't getinto APX mode, the problem is when i boot, the tablet will not go further. I cannot enter CWM or whatsoever. So it seems the bootsection is corrupted, and i can't get it to work.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
This may sound simplistic, but are you sure that the nvflash files you have are solid? Have you tried download a fresh copy? It sounds like a bad flash, rather than a hardware issue.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo!:
What exactly is a knightly build? I'm somewhat familiar with custom roms, but I have no idea what knightly is. I have done a few searches on xda, but i have only turned up with a knightly build rom page, rather than information pertaining to what it is. Could someone please explain this to me?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
Well, it's nightly actually. :p

Basically it's a bot that complies the source, including any commits [say like those listed here], and then spits out a .zip file every "night."

Thus the term "nightly."

Not all ROMs have nightly bots. And it's important to note that just because there's a new nightly it doesn't mean anything has changed since the last one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo!:
so they only change things when someone reports a bug or they improve the rom in some way, otherwise it is the same .zip every night until an update?

Thanks for explaining
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud007:
Not quite. Groups that run nightly bots tend to be highly active. Some push out the nightly every night, or every x nights (every 3 nights for ex). Think of the nightly builds as alpha or beta testing grounds. Some stuff gets added and if the testers like it, it typically stays :p. Take a look at cyanogen nightlies... reading the logs should give you a pretty good idea what nightlies are (:

[HTC Inspire 4G] emthree:
Just rooted my Att Inspire 4g using the ace hack. Worked great. installed the Virtuous Unity Rom 1.29. Worked for a week then started acting buggy. Black spots on the bottom left of the screen (only on main screen, not any apps). Tried updating through Rom manager and HBOOT and cant get into CWM either way. Tried loading the PD98IMG.zip onto the sd, booting into hboot, installing update and rebooting. Removed PD98IMG.zip. No go. Boots to white screen with green HTC goes black then back to white screen ---> then into the normal rom. Any ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
maybe try reflashing cwm from rom manager again?
[HTC Inspire 4G] emthree:
Tried. No luck. I just unrooted and returned to stock. The black spots are gone now. I really loved the rom but it just became laggy and strangely unstable after a week. oh well, back to stock i guess...

[HTC Wildfire S] elrik:
I am using Google calendar and Gmail. However, I can't sync both direction information. Any change on the google side is properly being sync to my phone, however nothing goes the other way. For example, if I delete a mail it will not be deleted in my Gmail. The same is with a new event I create in my phone. Furthermore these events are marked in green so I guess it can be sync.

I checked at "settings/account &sync" and found a partial solution for hotmail (mails that were deleted in my hotmail will be deleted also at the phone).

Any idea how to get full bi-directional support?

A factory reset will erase all settings and installed applications but does not touch the ROM itself. If you're rooted before the reset you will also be after.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tylerwatt12:
I was flashing a rom

Left RomManager on my phone a bit longer than normal, because i had to do some errands.

The battery was near to dying but i flashed CM7 nightly anyway

The battery didnt die in the flashing process but said 5% at the first launch

I plugged it into the charger and configured it.

I was on the 3rd or so screen when i noticed something strange, i couldnt click on certian parts of the screen.

I had to open the keyboard and use the D-Pad to push the next button.

Once i was on the stock adw launcher when my phone started acting bizarre.

It would move things around and open apps by its self.

Curious to see the pattern involved, i managed to get DevTools open and opened the "Pointer Location" section. It looked like the pointers where stuck on the middle of my screen.

I locked my Phone then unlocked it and it stopped. I noticed i was completely unable to select any center part of the screen

doing so would result on selecting the closest available pixel

I gathered some data by miving my finger in a single motion back and forth from top to bottom and these where the results [see pics]

Does anyone know how to fix this

also, i tried flashing different roms with no luch

[Optimus One, P500, V General] chw2006:
You guys need to make sure you clear your data/cache/dalvik in recovery before you flash the ROM.

It gets stuck because you probably didn't get rid of all the data in the previous ROM, so the phone can't possibly proceed.

So take the battery out, reboot the phone into recovery by holding val (the button on the way left) + volume up + home + power while it is powering up. Then clear data (factory reset), cache, and dalvik cache. After that, flash the ROM again and you should be good to go.
