I have not seen this touched in entirety so far, if it is please direct me there. But I wanted to upgrade to the fresh baseband and then go back to Trigger2X w/ Faux Kernel. I assume just revert back to stock in it's entirety, upgrade using OTA or update tool, then NVflash CWR back on and go from there? Seems simple enough but really just wanted to see if anyone had issues with returning back to CWR and restoring a Nandroid. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CharlieBoy808:
Question: is there a way to get a feature original SideKicks had when typing? If you double tap "shift" it puts it into a "capslock" state. Before if you hit "alt" it would type an "alt" character then go back to "capslock". This keyboard doesn't recognize that alt press and just types "capslock" state keys.

Is this even possible?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
No. It's how android os was designed. I know BlackBerry used to do wht you describe as well.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
I also miss the "AutoText" Function and more powerful Symbols function that the original sidekicks had.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
I did an NVflash after struggling to load VEGaN 7 for a couple days figuring it was the partition issue that I have read about. Flash went off without a hitch - or so I thought.

I went to flash VEGaN 7 again, but my computer would not recognize connection via USB. Attempted to login to clockwork mod but instead I get message - "booting recovery image".

Thinking a factory reset might somehow free up my USB connection I did a factory reset - now I'm stuck in a bootloop.

So, to review--

I can't connect to PC via USB, Access CWM, or get past the bootloop.

BTW - I noticed while looking for options to connect to USB that it appeared my Internal and external SD cards switched locations after the NV flash. External, although not accessible was 12.9 gig and my internal showed slightly less than 1 gig.

Anyway, is there any hope for my G tab - I have never been so frustrated over such a simple process in my entire life. :confused:

sorry looked for a way to move this post to the correct location...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
When you NVFlashed, did you use the version with or without CWM. If you did the version without CWM then that would explain no CWM.

When you say you can't connect to PC are you talking about APX mode (NVflash)?

Go here http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/ and follow the instructions for CODE RED step by step. Make sure download everything via the links on the dummies site to make sure you get the right stuff.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
No I used the version with CWM, which is why I was suprised to see the "booting recovery image" and then it just continued to boot. I tried both APX via USB and a typical USB connection after loading --where PC gave error "device not identified".
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
So, just to verify, you hold Vol(-) and press/hold Power, 3 birds appear & screen goes black...that is APX mode. Connect usb cable to PC & what does the PC say?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
USB device not recognized -
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
Still having that problem with USB device not recognized.

However, I have gone to ...for dummies site and reflashed device using the "flash USB driver" to temorarily gain access with USB connection. With NVFlash I Am back to having clockworkMod and working GTab with original software 1.1

Again going to flash rom - but Upon connecting USB i get the message "USB device not recognized" - I have attmpted to mount USB through CWM, but still getting that same error.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
If your tab boots, you don't have to use CWM/mount & storage to transfer your rom to the internal sd. Put your external in your PC, copy the rom to it, move back to the tab & copy to your internal. There are also other ways to transfer it but we can talk about that later if you like.

If that works you can still flash your rom & then we can work on getting the usb up.

So, the usb not recognized is when you try to connect after your tab is either all booted up or in CWM mount & storage (and not when you are in APX mode doing NVFlash)?

If you look in device manager what does it show?

Try connecting your tab to a differet PC & see it detects it correctly?

If it works on another PC, you may want to tryto use USBDview http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html to look at the USB dvices that are connected or have been connected to your PC. You can find the gTab devices in the list & then use it's command line options (see instructions included with it) to remove(uninstall) them from the PC. Then you can reconnect to see if it will detect & install the driver correctly.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
Can't use external load on pc to transfer rom. No card access.

USB did work in apx mode following instructions in code red. I thought of usin another pc and duplicated the failed results there.

Btw I want to thank you for trying to help me out on this. You people who lend your knowledge are commendable.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
OK, try this. We are going to use Mobisynapse to wirelessly transfer files to & from your PC to the tab.

Download mobisynapse from my dropbox http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36150173/Mobisynapse.exe & install on your PC.

From your gTab, download Mobisynapse system tool from my dropbox to your tab & install http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36150173/com.mobisystems.office_registered-1.apk.

Start the app on the tab, click More & select Connect to PC to switch it to ON.

Start the Mobisynapse on your PC, it shoud see your tab, once it sees it click connect.

From there, go to the Files icon & you should see an Explorer type screen. PC on the left, tablet on the right. You can transfer files in either direction. Transfer your Rom files or whatever you want.

Let me know when you have downloaded the apps from my dropbox so I can remove them.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
It's easier that way, that way you can easily differntiate it from other files/folders. If you create the folder, then put the zipped rom inside the folder.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Ok, lets try something different. shutdown your tab, then start in CWM (Powrer+VOL+).

In CWM go to Advanced, Partition SD card, 2048, then 0. Then Fix permissions. Then Reboot (not reboot recovery). When the tab reboots, open the file manager and verify you can see inside /sdcard.

I'll be offiline for about an hour. Check back with you later.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
Ok repartitioned on the way out the door, fixed permissions, logged back on --- can access sdcard just fine on the gtab.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Connect to usb see if it recognizes it. Also, try mobisynapse again.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
Still no USB working, but here is new pieces to the puzzle...

After partitioning Mobisynapse and the other app you gave me by accident ( i dont even remember what it was) --- are gone. Neither are on the g tab. (is Mobi... still available for download at location? ill check)

Also, when I boot into CWM, just below "detect a recovery key pressed", in ther upper right hand corner, it says "booting recovery kernel image". It did not used to do that when I booted CWM.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
ahhhh... success with mobisynapse!!! redefining partition parameters have fixed it. I reinstalled mobi and now I can transfer files. going to create ROMs folder and transfer VEGaN 7 zip. Will be awaiting next directions!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Is it VEGaNTab GE 7RC1 you are installing & do you know which kernal it contains (pershoot or clemsyn)?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
I downloaded it from Jimmis site. Same file suggested for 1.1 branch on the "for dummies" site. Don't know the kernel though.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
Full file name is as follows...

VEGAn-GE-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony-signed.zip
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
I believe that is the one without a kernal. When you did it the last time did you do a separate kernal or just the rom?

Open the zip & see if there is folder called kernal in it. If there is no kernal folder then it is only the rom.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
just the rom I guess. Used that file and followed the sticky here at XDA.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
yup just the rom there is no folder within the zip file that indicates a kernel by their names. I have not examined the contents of each folder for kernel info.

The folders within the zip file are:

META-INF

system

Boot - Image file

Thats all
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
I don't know if that rom works with the stock kernal. Everything I've read says use either Pershoot or Clemsyn & Pershoot is recommened for Gingerbread (because Celmsyn has problem recognizing USB).

Can you insert the link to the post you are working off of/downloading from?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Looking. I have 1.2 b/ combined vegan GE 7rc1/pershoot dated 25 June, but I don't remember where I got it from. I know that Pershoot released a new kernal within the last weeek, but I'm not sure who it was for. I have a link to his site, but it doesn't say which bootloader it is for & you can't use a 1.1b/l kernal w/ a 1.2 b/l & vice versa. What b/l version are you on now, 1.1 or 1.2?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Do you have a problem with switching to b/1.2? I found the post with the 1.2 b/l version with pershoot (combined).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
lol - not at all. I want to proceed in a direction that we know is firm. I have made a wrong turn at every step of the way, and I have followed 7 different 1-x lists, and each time it seemed I got further from "right" even though I followed the directions to a Tee. Doing the entire thing one last time with a system that lands with the correct answer is perfect.

Ill bet, based on what you were saying about kernel/USB issues, that my USB issue may resolve itself in the end.

So I need to NVflash to a 1.2???
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
All ROMs should come with a kernel. In fact, it would be very unusual for them to use a previous ROM's kernel. The boot.img file (which is packed and unpacked using special programs) will contain the kernel binary. You can, of course, upgrade the kernel later on.

Just get gunnervike to install that VEGAn zip file using CWM and then do a "wipe data/factory reset" immediately afterwards. Once he's done this, then booted into VEGAn Ginger and checked that everything is OK, he can upgrade his kernel to the latest gingerbread one (the one with the _gb in it) for the 1.1 bootloader from droidbasement.com/db-blog/.

See this post of mine for some addtional info.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
So I can start at step 2 of the Sticky thread??
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
or should I use rom install intrustions at G tablet for dummies?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Yes.

If you go back to the dummies site you will be doing code yellow for switching branches. To start fresh, download & use everything via good intention's links. At step 2 you will be picking the 1.2 branch stock rom with CWM preinstalled. At step 4 you will choose the 1.2 branch VeganTab Ginger Edition. That will take you to an XDA post. In the first post under Pershoot you will find 4 links. You need the bottom 2 (gapps & VEGAn-GE-7.0.0-RC1(GB2.3.3, stable build). During part A of the ROM procedure you will be transfering via mobisynapse (not USB). Put both files in your ROM folder. It will then have you boot into CWM, wipe the caches, install the Rom & then gapps & then reboot.

You will be skipping step 5 & 6 since you will have a combined rom/kernal file.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
I can do it...

K I can't thank you enough man. Thought I was bricked for real with No USB, no CWM, and boot looping. Will head to dummies site and start from scratch one more time!

and I will return to XDA to pay it forward to another poor soul once I have this thing mastered.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Forgive me. That post of mine was intended as a PM for aabbondanza, but, it went out as a post because of my mistake--I was on another thread and didn't check before I replied. I usually don't interfere in an ongoing one-on-one troubleshooting session. But, since I've already, inadvertently, interjected myself:

Just install the zip file and then do a "wipe data/factory reset". You're on a 1.1 bootloader branch and you don't need to switch to a 1.2 one -- even for installing HC Roms.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Don't mind a more experienced person stepping in. Still learning here too. Only been doing this 7 weeks. Didn't know the boot.img was actually the kernal. The 1.2 branch version of VT GE 7 contains a kernal folder and a boot.img, what is the kernal folder for if the boot.img contains the kernel?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnervike:
Well, I'm currently the proud owner of a VEGaN Tab! I did go ahead and try with the 1.1 --- figuring that I would be NVflashing again anyway if I bricked it again. Then I could go to the 1.2 branch starting from scratch. Would not have gotten here without you Al!!!

I also now can use the USB cable if, and only if I am in CWM and mounting USB storage device. Will look at that more in depth soon.

I also still get that extra notification when I boot into CWM it says "booting recovery kernel image". just 2 lines below the standard notification that says "detect a recovery key pressed".

I am thrilled to be on the other side though. once again thanks for all the help!!

That looks like Zyhong upgrading to a newer 1.2 kernel after installing the stock VEGAn-TAB Ginger boot.img (which very likely had an old 1.1-based one).
[Verizon Droid Charge] nerdydesi:
Hi, I have been messing with rooting and installing custom roms on my Droid Charge. I'm totally new to it and have been getting the hang of it, lots of wipes, reinstallations, etc. Unfortunately, it looks like my 32gb microSD card has been a casualty of all this. Since I had managed to install a custom rom on my Charge, my card cannot be read by any device, I've tried it in two computers and two Android phones. All are unable to format the card either, showing it in RAW format.

I believe when I was looking at some threads here, there was an issue with some of the roms maybe damaging the sd card, maybe forcing it to read-only mode? Is there a way I can definitively find out if my card is toast or I can still save it? :(

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] piizzadude:
I don't have a solution but a question. Was the last rom you flashed a GB rom?

Charged up post!
[Verizon Droid Charge] nerdydesi:
No, all my roms and kernels have been 2.2 Froyo based.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Flash the SD card fix, not sure how since the SD card isn't working but I would attempt to flash a stock ee4 through Odin & actually use the SD card fix this time....

Also, you might want to consider using Titanium Backup to get all your apps saved to your SD card so you don't lose them from the wipe.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BeefJerky9:
He said that he can't even format it in a separate reader, so changing out the software on his phone isn't going to fix anything.

To the OP: Honestly, it sounds like your card might be bad; it happens. I doubt that any software/ROM could have caused this since software can't physically damage hardware. One suggestion I can make is to try cleaning the contacts on the card; I recommend q-tips and isopropyl alcohol for that. If it still doesn't work and can't be formatted in your computers reader, you simply have a bad card. At that point, try calling VZW and hope they will replace it. They may insist on replacing your whole phone as well; I don't know. Or, you can use this as an excuse to get a faster (Class 4+) card. :D
