If you clockwork recovery installed then boot into clockwork and repartition your sdcard to 2048 and 0. If you don't have clockwork installed then go here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

Unzip clockwork 0.8 to the root of a micro sdcard on your pc

should look like this

/update.zip

/recovery/command

Open command file and make sure it points to SDCARD2 not SDCARD

Put sdcard in tablet

Power on holding power/vol+ until "recovery key pressed"

It will install and reboot. You need to power off and then boot using power/vol+

If it doesn't enter clockwork recovery then clockwork isn't installed

Another flawless update!

This forum and this thread in particular has been extremely helpful since I bought my GTablet before Xmas. I could not be happier. I have had flawless update experiences so far with 3.1.0 and the 3.1.4 supplement.

Based on how smooth those went, I decide to go for the 4.0.0 update, without a data wipe. Again, flawless!

I'm getting Quadrant benchmarks consistently over 3100, where I was only getting about 2200 before. Performance is noticeably faster in loading applications, and my 2nd reboot after the update was pretty quick.

Thanks to all involved for the custom ROM and the helpful instructions.

[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
All of you wanting to fix the boot loop. Use Clockwork version .8 and under the advanced selection pick partition sdcard. Use 2048, and 0 for the values. Save anything important to your pc first because it will go away when you partition. Don't use anything but 2048, and 0 if you want the market to work right.

If you need to save stuff you can go to mounts and storage in clockwork, mount usb storage and that will hook you to your pc so you can copy.

Use the 2 selections on the first clockwork menu that say wipe. Then load your favorite rom.
[G Tablet General] astevens54:
Thanks guys, ClockWorks saved my butt. I'm back to the original image. I was nervous about doing this anyway, but wanted to struggle through so I could install Gingerbread and or Honeycomb when it comes out. I will have to say XDA rooks and I appreciate everyones help.
[G Tablet General] v12xke:
You could also try repartitioning first via CWM. Make sure you're on 2048/0. Partitioning will wipe your SD card, so first copy what you need over to your PC. Just boot into CWM, go to mounts and enable USB for copying to PC prior to partitioning. If after partitioning, you still have data on your SDCard, you did it wrong. Once you confirm your SD card is blank, you can copy over the 4.0 update.zip and anything else you need from your PC. I haven't had to use the SDCard2 slot yet, and this has worked for me. Being able to mount USB in CWM has saved my bacon a few times.

I just wanted to say that I just flashed back to the tnt 4.0 from the vegaN 5.1 rom. I really like this interface better, and it seems that I have a 99.7 % full market. Only thing I can see missing in market is tv.com and the EA mobile games.

Other than that, this is flippin sweet!!!!!!! Thanks to those who work on this stuff. One day I want to learn how to this.

I can't get redbox reserve DVD, TV.com and tank hero. Got them with Vegan 5.1
[G Tablet General] vsc:
Adding data2loop to the baseline is very questionable in my opinion. This change is simply gaming a synthetic benchmark that means little in the first place by using a larger block size. In a different life we use a large box size when writing video data to flash where the flash drive can maintain a higher write speed. But for a random mix of file system accesses using the large block size wastes space and gives up efficiency.

I for one will be ripping this out of any TnTLite build until it gets pulled.
[G Tablet General] SRTDOC:
Will a wireless KB work
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I find it as questionable as the performance pack, but yes it could get pulled in the future if things go amiss. Pershoot is not too thrilled about this, either.

I've heard reports that it real does speed some things up, like Hulu (assuming it's hacked with the right Flash?). So it's not just for show.

For me, it's a question of stability and usefulness, and so far it seems to have both. I leave it to the floor to see if it's a long-term fix or not (I know there are at least two "nays" so far).

I haven't tested it with any recent custom kernels yet, so I'm watching the situation closely - I've pulled things before when I was convinced that they were a bad idea.
[G Tablet General] johnkapp:
Look at message 2245. I used it and now get TV.com and a lot of other items that I couldn't get before.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
That's the build.prop change that I believe got added to VEGAn 5.1, as well. I'm a little concerned that this change might mess up the TnT framework, but admittedly I haven't tested it thoroughly. I assume this worked for you on 3.1.x?
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
I've been using that build.prop change on TnT 3xx, vegan b4, b51 with no issue.

You may want to add that to next TnT.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I appreciate the input. I'm going to run TnT Lite 4.0.0 as my main build and will add that change as test, soon (want to get a good baseline, first). It could be added to a supplement.
[G Tablet General] cjbailey75:
Hulu not supported. Is there a fix.
[G Tablet General] johnkapp:
I just moved to 4.00 and the build.prop change causes problems. I cannot get the regular market fix to work, ie. clearing the cache and stopping the processes, then restarting. However, I still have tv.com working.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
That's pretty funny.. The build.prop change is used in most of the other roms. If you make the change wrong it will probably not work, but done right it works fine..
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I believe that there's a hacked version of Flash floating around here that tricks the site into thinking that you're running Windows. Or so I've heard.

VEGAn beta 5.1 has this change.
[G Tablet General] johnkapp:
Has anyone else done the build.prop change on 4.00 sucessfully?
[G Tablet General] kozmo2k4:
Ooh Oh!

Went to turn on my gTab tonight, went through boot (VS screen, gTablet Logo and boot animation) and then black screen. Pushed the Power Button again, same thing. Tried that 3 times. Held Volume + and power, went to CWM recovery and selected to restore from backup: went thru the whole restore, rebooted and turned black screen:confused:

Now when I tried to turn it back on, got red letter on top of screen: "magic Number" something or other.:mad:

The tab will not turn on. I was running, for the past couple of day without a problem TnT-Lite 3.1.4, with "TnTLite3.1_kernel_patched_V0.2.1.zip" and "ClempatchTNTciffstunntfsUpdate.zip" over that without a problem for over 24hrs. This came as a huge surprise right now. Had to do nvflash back to stock.

Can't believe this. Now system is back to stock, with all mu apps intact. Going to flash CWMrecovery and start from fresh; will flash TnT-4.0 and try to restore my app with Titanium... but first: time to hit the sack! Will report tomorrow!
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Yes.. I was bored and so I just installed TnTLite 4.0.. I did the initial market fix, and found most, but not all of my purchased items, and most but not all that I just searched for. Did not find TV.com that some others have wanted. So I pulled the build.prop file, put a # in front of the current line for the fingerprint and then added the line that is used in vegaN. Did the market fix again, rebooted, all my stuff showed up, and so does TV.com....

My tablet is not on fire, and it seems to be doing just fine..
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Yes, and so does the custom rom for my daughters HTC Eris phone, and a bunch of others. I think it is a pretty generic fingerprint that just works.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I have used this modded version of flash for a while now. It just makes the Hulu site think you are on a PC instead of a big phone.

Does this tnt lite 4.0 load images and music directly to the gallery and music player from the microsd card like VEGAn ?what do you think it's better for now tnt lite 4.0 or VEGAN beta 5.1? thanks for your help...and sorry about my english...
[G Tablet General] johnkapp:
I took your suggestion and rebuilt my tablet from scratch. That seemed to do the trick. The market is showing TV.com again, which, I guess, is a sign it is more complete. For some reason, when I made the change on the tablet when it had been upgraded from 3.14, it caused some problems with the task that scans the media. But, after clearing everything and building from scratch, it works.

Thanks for testing it and showing it worked!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I heard that TnT Lite 3.x has this issue, and we're hoping that 4.0 fixes this. But we're not certain (and VS isn't telling us anything).
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Roeby,

I am still using 3.14 and the 10.9.8 kernel. MORE questions please? :o

1. Are you currently using 4.0?

2. What are the key bennies over 3.14?

3. Is the update worth it? Subjective question, but please treat it objectively ;)

If the gTablet shipped with 3.14 and the 10.9.8 kernel, safe to assert the product would have been a huge seller with minimal returns.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
4.00 (potential benefits) -- this assumes no custom kernels used:

- SDCARD2 bug might be fixed. Still too early to tell, but my testing has (so far) been positive. Hopefully others can chime in as it's used more.

- SleepLag might be fixed. Same "I'm not sure" as above.

- Added the data2loop performance add-on.

Tmk, that's about it. TnT devs made a new kernel but it's hard to say what they actually changed. And they ain't telling us anything. If you are using a custom kernel on 3.1.4 already and manually added the data2loop fix, you might not see any reason to upgrade right now.

I've tried pershoot's kernel and it's not playing nice with this build (Wifi problems, at least on my end. I haven't had these issues since November).
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Thanks, I am using Clem's kernel with your fine as wine 3.14 :)

Only issues I see is after a reboot, it takes about a minute for Angry Birds installed type apps to show up. I have StumbleUpon on my home-screen and the icon does not appear until everything is accounted for (it installs like Angry Birds). When the SU icon appears, AB and the other 34 missing apps appear too. Actually takes 30 seconds to a minute for them to appear.

Can the loop patch be applied like a supplement and without starting from scratch? Link for TnT friendly version?
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
i refreshed the -0108 (this morning; around 5am; you can see this in a uname -a output) if you tried that earlier in the day. those wifi issues (of it disconnecting and wigging out) should be gone. same should be true for the odd ended BT audio device (not connecting). Pls re-download and re-flash to -0108 (.27) or use .28 (-0109).

the kernel should work just fine. it works well on tnt lite 3.1 and 4 is just further framework amendments (i believe?).

the dataloop, i cannot comment.

however, in the nature of testing, i will dload tnt lite 4 later and test drive it. ill rip out dataloop, as i dont want it.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
In regards to the dataloop, I posted in the thread for it, but your insight would be handy. Is this mod creating a data cache where it normally should not be, or merely increasing the size? My concerns are potential read/write failures and or corruption of sectors and files for locations perhaps not designed for the function.

Am I off base in thinking this? Still tempted to at least try it, since Roeby has a fine track record and extra PSX performance would be nice :)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Seems OK, now. I'm pretty sure it was "user error" - I had a power outage last night and I think my wireless was just wonky.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
hey..

did they supply a new wifi module in their 3452 OTA build?
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
nope. same module, HASH: E00C7C31
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Very little changed - just the kernel, their app and framework files were touched. They must have made some kernel change that required the framework to be re-compiled, but no idea what that might have been.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
latest kernel (2.6.32.28 - 0109) appears to work fine on tnt lite 4 (no data loop).

their settings app has go to go! hehe. it just closed out as it was loading an option. its also still takes long to load at times (it always has done this though). this probably was UAT. hope they release another!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
So far no issues, but its was definitely UAT and not a full release.

I'm actually having issues with CIFS Manager (was going to add your kernel) - seems like a permissions issue, and I wonder if it's related to data2loop. That could be a problem.

Adventures in 4.0

Finally took the plunge past night. I had been on 3.0 TnT Lite since it's release, and was quite happy with things (other than the wake lag issue, which I hadnt got around to fixing with a custom kernel).

So... I backed up all my apps and data with Titanium, then sync'd it all to Dropbox (paranoid?).

As I always do, I did NOT data wipe (I have had very good luck with NOT wiping in the past). 4.0 installed without errors. First boot was almost 5 minutes and....

Everything was fine. All my apps were fine, the only thing that wasnt working was Market.

Market: Showed 1 app. Did Market fix from memory... no workee. Did it again, no workee. Used Titanium to restore my user data for Framework and Market, no workee. Lots of FCs up to this point after all three tries.

Finally resorted to RTFM - went to the FAQ to re-read the Market fix. Here's the important part - following it TO THE LETTER did the trick, and Market was restored. (I had been stopping both processes in Settings, wiping data in settings for both, then wiping data in Titanium for both... not working. Following instructions in FAQ = working. Apparently small but important differences.)

Quadrant scores >3000. Screen seems faster, web seems faster. Have not had lag on wake since either - knock wood.

Roebeet, gojimi, & Rothnic - you guys are studs! Thank You for your persistence.

First, you guys are great for doing all of this. Thanks

I just took the plunge and install 4.0. The process worked great. First boot took an extra few minutes and then all seemed great. My installed apps were there! - Did not know that would be maintained. Nice surprise. Market works great after following the right steps listed here.

The one thing I am noticing is that when stuff is being put on the launcher pages the spacing between icons and widgets is huge. Is there a setting that will allow placing the icons and stuff closer to each other to utilize the space better. I was searching through the forums and could not find anything on this. I apologize if I missed this somewhere else.

Someone posted earlier in the thread that if you hold the tab in portrait while running quadrant it does not fc. I found this is the case for me. The app also displays the test counts properly when you hold it in portrait.

constant random partial reboots?

Forgive me if this has been brought up. I searched before my post but couldn't find any thread.

I just switched from VEGAn to to TnT lite 4. I wiped cache and installed update.zip. First boot took a while (as I have heard) but once it booted everything looked good. I really like it and have market, flash, galaxy tab e-mail client all working great. However, my issue is that as I am using it or if it sits idle for a bit it will reboot it's self to the "X" screen and then come back to my homescreen and reload all widgets/icons. It is not a full reboot but very annoying. Any others with this issue or know why I may be getting it?

I have been a huge fan of VEGAn but wanted to give TnT a try. I really like it so far but can't handle this constant partial rebooting.

Thanks for all the help so far!

On my first try with 4.0, I used the updated system. When I did the build.prop change, it caused a media error that kept having FCs. So, I did it from scratch.

By the way, the great developers in this group have made this the best unit I have seen. I wonder if all the new tablets will have the same problems. If so, I hope the buyers find this site. They'll certainly need it.

EDIT2: Not working. Restored my original build.prop file, followed the above instructions, and Market is back. Lesson: Swype is cool, but no Market is a deal breaker. Interestingly, Swype still kind of works.. it doesnt "swype" but it does function as a keyboard.
