Didn't you have this for bl 1.1? Did you stop development on it? Any plans to do it again?

Thanks for all the hard work on the Rom, its certainly appreciated.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
It has been decided to discontinue work on the 1.1BL. It is just too much work trying to maintain two builds, especially when there isn't a large enough group of 1.1 users to benefit from it. Also, none of the development team uses 1.1BLs so it is even harder to test.

Those of you that are currently on 1.1 are strongly encouraged to move on to 1.2.

Thanks for the info. And I'll probably move to 1.1 when I have time.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webnetxpress:
Question - where did I go wrong??

So, I got my brand spanking new Gtab yesterday. It has 1.2BL and the latest TnT version on it (1.2??).

So I used it for all of about 15 mins and decided to follow the RayWaldo steps to install NVFlash followed by GTabComb3.3.

I elected to do the entire install even though it was a clean Gtab.

I NVFlash'd properly. It rebooted, I tested it, all ok.

Then I installed CWM. It worked (works).

I got to the part after clearing cache/data/files/etc. repartitioned the card to 2048/0, then clear the cache again. I followed all the steps in direct order...and the instructions said to hook up the USB cable and then select MOUNT.

Immediately upon hooking up the USB cable, the tablet turned off. hmmm.

I turned it back on, into the CWM menu. Tried again and this time I was able to choose MOUNT USB HDD. On my computer, it shows me a new drive (D:) and it is completely blank. No normal gtab files or folders, and this is at the base root of D:\.

So i UNMOUNT the USB and try to simply restart the Gtab to see what's happening. It turns on but gets stuck on the GTablet screen.

It seems that I have somehow completely wiped the OS off of it?? Does that make sense?

So, when I get home tonight I was going to redo the NVFLash and hopefully get back to TnT.

But then I want to go to a better ROM. So I'm confused on what I did wrong or how to avoid it.

Since I have CWM already on there and working- is there a simpler way for me to reformat/partition or just fix what is wrong? If I NVFLash again, does that overwrite CWM?

I was contemplating going into APX mode and seeing if the computer sees any of the root files/folders to confirm if they are erased or not. If they are, can I manually dump the new ROM on there and try to update from the zip via CWM?

Sorry for all the newbie questions.

Thanks for helping.

Hi there,

If you wish to use Flashback 9.0, then I would strongly suggest to follow this procedure:

1> Review Flashback OP http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138100.

2> Follow Option 3 which will prepare your tablet with proper system partition, cleanest slate, and CWM 3.0.2.8 Rev5

3> Then follow Option 2 to properly install Flashback 9.0

What better options are there for $230 with a 10" screen and a Tegra 2 chip with 512RAM?

I have done some looking, but the closest I came was a refurbished Nook Color for $150. The real selling point there is its ability to dual boot and the IPS screen.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minimimi98:
So far I have seen few SOD with FB 9.0 and I had it installed for a few hours.

I increased min to 460 and lowered max to 1335, that did not affect SOD, unfortunately.

Few more observations:

1. Opera 11.5 does not work properly on FB 9.0, pages not loading, settings closing constantly. I had to downgrade to 11.1 and it is perfect.

2. Clemsyn kernel does not have PPP package, I would respectfully request addition of this package to Clemsyn Kernel, please. My VPN (NEtExtender) stopped working with this kernel and complains about PPP package missing.

Install Results

I thought I would upgrade to this new version of Flashback in the usual manner, wiping caches, data, etc. That usually works well for me.Just to be safe I did a titanium backup to my sd card. I followed the directions and put the new update file in the root and upgraded. Nope - bootloop. Tried wiping everything and doing it again - bootloop. I went to the dummies site and followed the many steps to restoring the 2.1 stock and then did the install. Works like a charm. Restored my apps from Titanium Backup and I'm good to go. I have a couple of questions that I haven't been able to figure out myself.

1. The FONTS are so tiny - if there was reason not to use honeycomb for me this would be it. Isn't there some easy way to adjust the font settings? Keyword being "easy" like a setting on the management screen?

2. The launcher seems to have a lot of wasted screen space on both sides. It seems to have to do with the "circular" transition. On my Vegan tab with vtl launcher I can shut off the side bars and reclaim the space. Is there any configuration on this launcher?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Answer to question one, not that I know of. It is what it is.

Answer to question two, you can download a different launcher from the market. I have not tested any other launcher, but ADW and Launcher Pro are the most popular.

I updated from 8.0 to 9.0 on Monday, everything went smoothly.

As near as I could tell, the market worked fine on Monday. today I attempted to get into the Market and I now get "could not launch the requested activity"

I have tried rebooting.

Since there is no Cache to clear I can't really perform the regular market fix, but I did try all the other steps.

I also noticed I have two copies of Google Services Framework.

I have also tried downloading a new apk from the forums here and installing. It appeared to work, however only ever so briefly. (however if someone could direct me to a better apk file that may help)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
Just reflash the ROM over itself. Do a cache wipe and Dalvik wipe prior. Also, use a freshly downloaded update.zip to be doubly sure.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
I assume that you accidentally selected Reboot Recovery instead of Reboot System. Selecting Reboot Recovery throws the system into a boot loop. I am afraid you will have to start over.

Im still on 8.1, didn't find any reason to upgrade since I've already installed the new market and never had the SOD issue there. That said, I've a bigger and more frequent one, and that is sudden freezes that never goes away without a reboot.

I've asked about this earlier and Dave.S kindly suggested uninstalling any unnecessary apps and move the rest of them to USB storage instead of the default tablet one. And that did in fact work and help to some extent but still, I get about 2-3 freezes every 2 hours which is really frustrating.

Any other ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated :)

Changing the text size in either Spare Parts or in the email client account settings has no effect on the fonts. Email does not change and the only thing that changes in Spare parts is that menu itself. Then it reverts back anyway.

Tried that the first time I suffered from this (was more frequent back then), and it didn't work. Only moving apps to usb storage seemed to help which is why I'm so reluctant on a full wipe. I won't only have to restore the apps but also move them to usb storage and I have quite a load of them!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mydave1:
Hi again,

There are a few options for your consideration:

1> Stay as is on FB8.1 and experience 2-3 freezes every couple of hours.

2> Try TEK112's suggestion.

3> Back up apps + data then follow Option 2 (in the OP) to install FB9.0 which includes several important upgrades (see change log in OP). Option 2 would take care of your freezing and FB9.0 would give you performance & functionality. 'Move to USB storage' may not be required. Chances are, although slim, you may experience new SOD that you did not have before. Some users reported such non-normal behavior. If you do, follow the SOD thread that TEK112 provided for work-around. If you did have SOD before, FB9.0 would minimize or eliminate it.

4> Wait the the next release, which would do everything FB9.0 is doing, with better protection against new SOD (meaning if you had SOD before, you may continue to see it. TEK112 provided the link to the SOD thread where Clemsyn has been releasing trial kernels to eliminate/minimize SOD).

Dave,
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
I think I'm gonna go with option 3 bit instead of flashing 9.0 gonna go with 8.1 which I still have on my sd. Will do that on a full battery tomorrow and report back.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
I would hold on a bit if I were you. Dave and I have a feeling a new release might be coming out. ;)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mydave1:
Attention please . . .

A new release of Flashback10.0 has just been posted. Please check the OP.

Option 2 in the OP is the recommended method for upgrading (FB7.1 thru FB9.0). If instability or NEW SOD occurs, use Option 3 then Option 2.

Option 3 & Option 2 must be used if upgrading from FB7.0 and before, or first time installation from another rom.

All good features from FB9.0 retain.

NEW SOD that was produced by FB9.0 is eliminated/minimized.

This latest Flashback10.0 is recommended for users that received NEW SOD with FB 9.0.

For users that FB9.0 helped to reduce or eliminate SOD. You may consider skipping this latest Flashback10.0.

If you select to flash it, SOD may return as it was before FB9.0. The alternative is to use one of Clemsyn's HoneyCombTrial kernels in the OP or in the SOD thread .

Wipe cache and Dalvik and flash this like a normal update.zip. If you experience instability, freezes, or the like, you will need to nvflash.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dano10:
most issues started with 8.1

I was on 8.1 and was fine for couple weeks and then started having issues with the Market error processing error. So when 9.0 was release I flashed it and wiped cache and Dalvik and it came right up. But at same time there was a new version of Opera Mobile and new Flash version. Then with FB9.0 I started to have all kinds of problems with Opera such as images not displaying, also when going to Opera settings it would quickly remove the settings screen so it was hard to change any settings. So Opera appeared unstable and flash didn't seem to work in other browsers either which was working before.

Not sure if flashing to FB10 will fix these issues. If I should go back to a lower version of Opera and flash how would one do that since the market only has the latest version.

I do like FB and it's been very stable for me up to the market issues with v8.1. I do appreciate all the hard work. Great ROM but it seems to be getting unstable.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
It is an Opera sepcific issue. Downgrade to a lower version (check in your system/data folder for the .apk). The issues should go away and don't update until Opera releases their next iteration.

OverClocking

I think that you are aware that the O/C probably crashed your GTab.

My personal experience is that if I OC beyond 1200Mhz, the GTab starts to lockup - especially on graphics intensive actions. This appears with most of the HC roms that I have tried but seems especially true with Flashback. YMMV

I wish to thank all users who posted the result of Flashback10.0. Your posts are most beneficial to all, and to the developer.

Flashback10.0 has been a great success. There were 600 downloads in less than 24 hours after the release. The number could easily reaches 5,000 by the end of the week.

Based on the result of the pre-released tests, feedback that have been posted here and elsewhere, and my own evaluation, I'd urge everyone to upgrade to FB10.0.

For users that are at FB9.0 and the SOD issue is within manageable level, you may want to skip the upgrade to FB10.0 and monitor the SOD thread.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wnbowman:
To all Flashback developers: THANK YOU for the work and hours you have put into this ROM. I have had the GTab since January, and gone through most of the ROMs that have been published to the XDA community for this tablet. This is by far the most polished, and V10, for the couple of days that it has been running, has eliminated the SOD issue I was plagued with.

I had FB8, FB9.0, but decided to go full nuke and started with new nvflash on the tablet. TB had backed up data for the few apps I had installed, plus the full Nandroid backup was copied over to my desktop PC before pushing the magic button. I had tried a couple of the CPU O/C utilities, but never saw any real improvement for the operation, and degraded battery life was the big cost.

Battery life seems to have improved, stability has improved, and my apps are installed with the data restored.

As far as improvements, video acceleration would be at the top of the list, but until the source code for the drivers are released, we can live with the setup as it is. For the poor camera, forget about it! Keep up the great work, I look forward to the next new thing this written-off tablet can showcase.
