You have to unzip the downloaded ZIP file and place the recovery and update.zip in the root of your /sdcard folder. If you try to use clockwork and pick the downloaded ZIP file directly, it won't work.
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
Couple of questions:

Sorry if this has been asked but will there be an update for TnT to have it recognize the wiimote? I don't want to flash another ROM because I end up coming back to this one anyways.

Also, how is the CM ROM getting such high quadrant scores? I'm guessing they have yet to use the new tegra drivers but the scores are still up there?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Wiimote will probably be unfixable in TnT (Lite), because it's the settings.apk at fault. In all honesty, call up Viewsonic and complain - if they fix it in the next firmware, I can add it to TnT Lite. The reason is that the TnT settings.apk won't let you change the keyboard - it's probably a bug.

As for the quadrant scores on CM, I don't know. Bekit must have worked some magic in there. :)
[G Tablet General] mattrb:
I just hit up woot for this tablet. It was either going to be Nook Color or this. This has bottom buttons and flash. It is thicker though.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
x2. If you must backout to a previous ROM, do NOT use anything but 3588 stock or gADAM 1.3.0, or you may brick your gTAB. I'm working on TNT Lite 4.3.0 now, as I just finished gADAM 1.3.0.

Also, avoid clockworkmod (even the new TTx friendly version). If you have it installed, I would advise getting rid of it - it will only cause you grief.

In the last week, this has become a job (just being honest). After this all blows over, I'm going to have to take a few days off from XDA. :O
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
Yeah you deserve a few rest days. By the way I'm using CWM 0.8 (TnT 5 version) and it works great, the only thing is take care that you don't use Rom Manager or other booting to recovery programs, because they cause a boot loop into recovery. But you can get out of there by just going to mounts, mount usb and copy the recovery from stock 3991 as an update zip file and the recovery folder. I just switch recovery.img from CWM 0.8 TnT 5 zip file with the one that comes with 3991, and flash it using CWM, then reboot again into recovery, it flashes again (that's why you need the recovery folder with the command file inside), and it reboots normally and you are out of the recovery booting loop.

And I just bought another one for my wife at woot.com :D
[G Tablet General] Dawg Fan:
Can't decide

I have been running 5.0.1 for about a week now and it works GREAT!! I've had an occasional FC but no other problems. I also have the new CW Mod that is supposed to be compatible with this ROM.

I need advice. Should I just stay put with 5.0.1 or move back to 4.2.x or 4.3?

Should I get rid of the CW Mod? And if so, how do I delete CW Mod and go back to the standard recovery, while keeping 5.0.1?

If I do decide to flash back to 3588, is CW Mod retained or is it automatically deleted?
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
Right now I'm staying at 5.01 (well is a special version modded by me :D ). If you move to stock 3588 you need to do the enhance pack again and update all gapps applications plus data wipe, dalvik wipe, etc. For me is easy to stay here and wait for the future. I sure the 3991 recovery UAT is gonna be the new one. VS is just trying to find a way that users not at 3588 will have to OTA to 3588 before applying 3991.

Short answer: Stay at 5 and wait.

As for the CWM: The best way is to go back is to nvflash 3588 or the version before this one. Take in account that switching CWM is not enough, you need to go step back the boot kernel which is in another partition, and flashing CWM only doesn't do that, you will need to nvflash, then clear all caches .
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
x2 on waiting. Two reasons:

1) You might have more backout options. Right now it's 3588 stock or nvflash, but I want TNT Lite 4.3.0 to be a downlevel path. I'm going to work on that for the next 1 to 2 days.

2) If VS releases this new bootloader, you'll be one step ahead of many people already. Most of the legacy mods will actually become more risky to use -- it's why I'm shoring up gADAM and TNT Lite 4.3.0 right now, I'm bracing for the worst case scenario.
[G Tablet General] geeter:
Thank you.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
4.3.0 prototype is built, starting to test and will start revamping my post soon

4.3.0 will have:

- Fixed camera (rotates corectly)

- All the 3991 UAT stock options (lockscreen, spanish / french language etc). BUT, with the old bootloader / kernel - that way the risk is much lower.

- 3588 stock bootloader. That's in case someone with 3991 (or a future bootloader that gets released) installs this - it should not brick the device. That includes TTx / TNT Lite 5 users that want to revert - you just need to make sure that you do NOT use clockworkmod to revert back.

- Latest Market

- Command line recovery toggle built-in, same thing I did with gADAM 1.3.0. That way, you can add / remove clockworkmod fairly easy - you just need adb or a Terminal Emulator to do it.

My goal with TNT 4.3.0 and gADAM 1.3.0 is not only to prep it with the latest updates, but also to prep them for use in a "1.2" bootloader world, in case that bootloader does get released.
[G Tablet General] TdiDave:
use clockwork with 4.30 ?

with all the talk of the new bootloader from vs and issues that came from using clockwork. Im now looking at this new 4.3.0. Lets say im back to a completly stock gtab with all the OTA updates.

Should i install clockwork or just install 4.3.0 strait up with standard recovery?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
As long as stock is no higher than 3588, clockworkmod should be OK. But we don't know what's going to happen with they release their next firmware.

In TNT 4.3.0, I added two scripts that can be run from either adb shell, or from a Terminal Emulator on the GTAB. This is the "GTAB 3588 Recovery Pack" - gives you the ability to revert back to stock 3588 recovery, if needed. In the last week, I have come to dislike clockworkmod heavily given the amount of issues its caused me. :mad:
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
Roebeet,

I have looked but cant seem to find it

I have 9.02, with CWM .08 Special recovery.

How do I revert?

Put on the 3588 update/recovery and let it install with the PWD+VolUp?

Or do I need to do a nvflash?
[G Tablet General] Jesse6749:
Roebeet - You deserve and should take a break, you have been way too busy and helpful here the past couple of months :p. I just returned to work from a 2 week vacation and I feel so much better after that much needed break too, I know how you feel man :D.
[G Tablet General] joe2262:
When I moved to 5.0.0 I stopped using CWM and haven't looked at it since. It's built in recovery and TiB for me. ;)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You're on the other side of the fence. See this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12198342&postcount=1

I have to finish up the documentation, but I wanted backout procedures listed if you have TNT Lite 5 / TTx and wanted to backout to TNT Lite 4.3.0, for example.

Now keep in mind that I tested this and it worked. However, I cannot replicate all scenarios so I would assume the worst - which is that the device semi-bricks and you'd then need to restore using nvflash. User "Rev" was kind enough to re-do my nvflash instructions and I just updated that post, today.

Trying to tie up all the loose ends that I can. :)
[G Tablet General] sigvader:
+1. Thanks for what you have done, chill and recharge bra!!!!!
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
Thanks,

But the Post says restore 3391, but you have removed the link to this file?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Stock UAT 3991. That's still around -- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=972458

I removed the mod links, but you could reflash stock 3991. Or, wait a day or two and I'll have a flash just for 3991 recovery, which is a little less risky. I might make it a standalone or a supplement, I haven't decided yet.
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
Followed your instructions, which are clear (but I am a full time software developer so not sure how n00b friendly)

All good and now on 4.30

Feel its just a bit safer than 9.02 even if 9 is a higher number :D
[G Tablet General] bobtran:
So Roebeet, Does this mean you are killing off TTx 9.02 also and advising migrating to 4.3.0 or are we still waiting until Viewsonic decides what they are going to do......Just not sure based on your post above and thought I should request a clarification as to your intentions for TTx 9.02 (Running great by the way, I really really like this ROM, it has to be one of the best I've been privileged to run so far).
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
I spoke to soon.

My current problems are

*Once tab screen goes off (either timeout or power button) it requires a full shutdown and reboot (hold power button down) 100% of the time, yes 100%

*I have no recovery to speak of. It just hangs on Recovery Key Detected, never goes any further.

My steps were.

Install 3911 via CWM Special

Installed 3588 via the VS recovery that came with 3911

Booted into 3588, copied files (Recovery Folder and Update.zip) for 4.3.0 to root of internal SD.

Went into recovery - auto installed TntLite, once it returned to the VS Recovery I choose to Wipe User Data/Factory Reset, which appeared to work, and Wipe Cache.

Rebooted - TnT 4.3.0 came up fine, however ALL my apps are still installed.

From then on I am having the problems above.

I have tried to Install the CWM recovery attached to page 1, however it just hangs on the Recovery Key Detected. I thought I could clear data correctly and would be ok with my power off issue - no luck.

NVFLash time??
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
Ok I couldnt wait, and I am ever curious so I NVFlashed it.

I also re-partitioned SD Card. 2048/0

I am back to CWM recovery .08, and 4.3.0.

I can now access recovery again.

However - The screen off issue remains though after more testing seems to only be when i press the power button to sleep it that it happens, not timed screen off. Now also the Search and Home capacitive buttons both don't work. :(:(

Back and Menu work fine.

I have booted into CWM and Home works, and keytest for both buttons work as well.

During install of 4.3.0 - i got errors about bootloader unknown command.

Any thoughts?
[G Tablet General] RKight:
I, too, have noticed that my home key quit working (didn't try the search key), and I also had to do a hard shutdown and reboot after putting my tablet to sleep with the power button. I thought it could be because I installed a different kernel, so I tried it again without installing a different kernel. Then, I thought it could have something to do with flashing via CWM, so I used NVflash to go back to stock and installed via standard recovery. Still no dice. I'm going back to 4.2.5 for now.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
TNT Lite 4.3.0 was designed NOT to brick your device if you downleveled from 3991 / TNT Lite 5 / TTx.

However, recovery breaks for those users only. That was a decision I made in testing, as I wasn't sure if I wanted to force standard recovery on everyone. For 1.1-based users, that's fine - they keep what they had. But for 3991/TNTL5/TTx users, their recovery is 1.2-based and doesn't work with 1.1 mods like TNT Lite 4.3.0.

However x2, there's an easy fix. I have the Recovery Pack installed on TNTL 4.3.0. Get a Terminal Emulator from the Market, run it and type this:

su
fixrecovery.sh

That's it - you now have 3588 recovery installed. :D You can also use adb shell, if you have adb.

I'll shore up the first post with this information. It's already there but at the bottom.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It was actually .9 (pre-release). :)

In a 1.1-based mod world, it's definitely safer. Agreed.

Depends on what VS does. TNT Lite 4.3.0 might be the last version of TNT Lite, IF VS releases a 1.2-based firmware with the new bootloader.
[G Tablet General] urbanrunner:
I am currently running 4.2.5 and did not make the jump to 5.0. My question is that i am willing to go to 4.3.0, but am confused....can i use clockworkmod .8 to move to 4.3.0? And when i tried to do that, and the end of the flash i got this

E:unknown command [bootloader]

E:unknown command [/tmp/bootloader.bin]

I have not rebooted yet, and am going to restore 4.2.5 to be sure that this is something normal to see with clockworkmod .8 and tnt lite 4.3.0....???
[G Tablet General] tman7510:
Based on 3991 image?

So how does this ROM compare/differ from Caulkins ROM that is also based on the 3991 image?? What major upgrades have been made with the adoption of this new base image?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I haven't used his, so I cannot answer it. Mine is a hybrid of 3588 and 3991 (3588 boot.img and bootloader, so "safer" to use, but 3991 system).

It has all the 3991 enhancements like the lockscreen and extra languages. It's different than 4.2.x.

Home button issue UPDATE: 2967 to TNT Lite 4.3.0, and the home button works (no wipe). Going to wipe and re-test.

EDIT: Wipe kills it. It has to be something in the init.rc, I'm sure of it. I will fix this and, assuming its an init.rc issue, a 4.4.0 will be released. It's a bug but I'm not pulling it yet.
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
I just nvflashed to stock 3588 from TnT 5.0.1, and from there to 4.3.0 and home button works, just done before flashing a cache clean and dalvik cache clean. All my data and apps are there, working great.

So right now I'm at 4.3.0 just for the fun.

By the way flash player 10.2 didn't work for TnT 5.0.1, the old 10.1.120.11 did work. It is working at 4.3.0.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
5.0.1 had the early 10.2 Flash leaked apk, but 4.3.0 has the released one that's in the Market. Thanks for mentioning that!

Btw, remember that your recovery is probably broken since you went from 5.0.1 to 4.3.0, but you can fix with the Recovery Pack ("fixrecovery.sh").
[G Tablet General] urbanrunner:
any info on this? I hope that i can do this, but not sure if this is normal
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
Fixed, done that and afterwards cwmrecovery.sh and worked. The only issue is the damn power off, when it sleep can't turn on must push the power button and it boots again... maybe using another kernel is the solution?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's normal. In clockworkmod, it's ignored. In standard recovery, the bootloader is updated on the first reboot. With standard recovery, what you see is actually TWO reboots, after the firmware update.
[G Tablet General] urbanrunner:
Thanks a lot. So after i go to 4.3.0, i will be using a different recovery program, no longer clockworkmod?

Sorry for dumb questions, if it is too dumb, just ignore me.....
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
4.3.0 doesn't change the recovery partition. So, if you use clockworkmod to install it, clockworkmod will still be there after its done. I had considered overwriting recovery, but I decided against it as I might get some pushback for doing that.

I don't support clockworkmod anymore, however. For nandroid backups, I think it's a good tool. But for flashing mods I think it's too high of a risk to use and I would NOT recommend it.
[G Tablet General] urbanrunner:
So maybe after you fix the standby issue as well as the homescreen button issue, you could offer standard recovery if that is what your supporting. Again just a suggestion, by no means do i want to come off wrong,
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
Ok the standby issue has gone using the Clemsyn's kernel, but I have a question how I undo the game sensor fix. I rather prefer to use the mouse, I almost don't play games on this thing. So far before flashing I just delete the libsurfaceflinger_client.so library and the framework.jar file, but it didn't do anything...

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] urbanrunner:
Seems pretty quick. I just wanted to say I appreciate the DEV's support and hard work here on the forums. I still consider myself a noob, and hope that my contributions to this thread help to make the Rom more user friendly and run smoother!

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Should be those two, and I believe undoing the Gallery and Camera apks. Those are the only files that got touched, as far as the g-sensor hack.
[G Tablet General] ramerco:
What tool DO you recommend? I like CWM because I can do everything from eh tablet itself without hooking up to the PC for file transfers or anything.

I think TTx is the new branch of the TnT Lite ROM with the new bootloader/recovery (based on 3991).
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
As cruddy as standard recovery is, it's the best way to get your bootloader updated. I added the Recovery Tool in 4.3.0 on purpose, so that way you could swap back and forth easily. VS's next recovery will be much better.

And correct on TTx - it's the forked off 3991-based ROM that TNT Lite 5 should have been (in hindsight, I should have forked it off from the start but I didn't realize how many issues we'd have).
[G Tablet General] dony71:
how do you clean cache and dalvik cache? using cwm?

and how you flash 4.3.0 from stock 3588? using cwm also or nvflash?
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
Roebeet

I can apply new kernel I understand to fix standby issue, Looking forward to buttons fix.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I actually dropped a comment in the first post, right at the top. Been working on and off all day to find root cause. It's being looked at. Didn't notice that search was borked too, but I'm sure it's the same issue (whatever that might be).
[G Tablet General] GenBlood:
I had a similar issue when I updated to 4.3.0 too. The home button didn't work

when press. I wasn't sure if it was me not updating the ROM or not. So, I

used 2 two nvflash zip files to return the system back to stock and updated

to 3588. Instead of installing CWM .08 this time, I just add the recovery folder

and update.zip to the root directory. I booted in to recovery mode and updated

the unit that way. So, far the home button and search is working.

I basically did the update first with CWM .08 and was having issues with

the home button. You might have has a similar issue I ran in to.

Hopefully this info helps you out.
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
Sorry i edited my post, but you were too quick.
[G Tablet General] GenBlood:
I did a little test..

I installed CWM .08 and did a data wipe. As soon as it rebooted the search

and home button didn't work. I used nvflash to get the unit back to 3588

build. After that I added the 4.3.0 file to the root direct and flashed again.

Basically my gtab is at 4.3.0 and working. I didn't install CWM .08. Most

likely CWM is deleting some files the system needed.

I'm learning more about android every day ... :D

Keep up the good work ...
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
Step by step.

Starting from TnT 5.0.1

boot into CWM, clean cache and dalvik cache.

Mount USB under CWM.

Copy 4.3.0 update.zip and recovery folder.

using CWM flash 3588.

STUCK at Birds logo.

Reboot into nvflash recovery (Vol - +Power)

nvflash 3588.

Reboot into recovery and beginning to flash 4.3.0 (remember the recovery folder copied together with 4.3.0 ? , that's why i did).

Booting normally into 4.3.0 (takes a little first time due dalvik cache populating)

No home and search buttons issue, no need to delete user data :D
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
thanks for the replies -- this helps a lot. So far, it seems that the data wipe causes the problem, so it must be something in /data not getting recreated.

However, the init's look good to me. The root cause is still eluding me.
[G Tablet General] dony71:
i try many times nvflash and cwm update

after many trial, i think as long no wipe user data then

home and search button is OK.

this is what i did, step by step from tnt lite 5.01

1. nvflash full restore from restore package in

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

2. reboot

3. standard recovery to stock 3588 (must put update.zip + recovery folder in /sdcard before reboot)

4. reboot

5. install cwm 0.8 (must put update.zip + recovery folder in /sdcard before reboot)

6. reboot

7. enter cwm (press power n + button)

8. wipe partition cache n dalvik cache

9. apply tnt lite 4.3 update.zip

10. reboot ..... viola no home and search button issue
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I found root cause, will wrap up a supplement shortly

It was the SetupWizard.apk that I pulled. I have NO idea how in the world that file could be causing this issue, but it's required. I pulled it because I pulled it off the Adam build, as it was causing issues over there (I wanted them to be in sync). That SetupWizard.apk is for Gapps, so how that affects the buttons is completely a mystery - perhaps related to the home press hack that I ported over awhile back.

I will wrap up a supplement, re-test it and then release tonight. It will fix it immediately after reboot, if the problem exists on your device.

Bizarre. This was a real tricky one - I only found it because I retraced my steps until I found the change that did it.
[G Tablet General] ramerco:
Is there still a standalon package for the g-sesnsor fix included with tntlite? I found a link for the vegan version but the tent one is down. Looking for the standalone update.zip for Stock tnt or calkulin rom.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Tmk there is not. The problem is that the hack (and it is a hack) is specific for stock and VEGAn (gojimi was the dev who created most of it tmk, although rothnic might have assisted. I only packaged it up).

The hack is a combination of smalis that get updated in framework.jar, the Camera.apk and the 3DGallery apk, I think. And lastly, you need the altered /lib/libsurfaceflinger_client.so file.

TnT Lite 4.2.0 is based off stock 3588, so the altered files should work there (I stress "should", of course - I never tested them on plain stock). And Calkulin's ROM is based off 3991 I think, same as 4.3.0. So, if you took the 4.3.0 files I mentioned here and injected them into that ROM, it might work.

Hope this helps.

thanks again!
[G Tablet General] Reggie777:
TnT 4.3.1 updated successfully.

Thanks again, Roebeet, for the hard work and the updates.

I successfully went from 4.2.5 to 4.3.1. by way of nvflash to get it back to the 3588, then up to 4.3.1. I decided to lose ClockworkMod, although I was just getting used to it, and loved the backup option, and the correct permission option. But to simplify matters, I decided to just go back to the normal recovery.

I did have one slight problem, and I am not sure what caused it. When trying to move the files over to the root on the tablet, the recovery folder would not copy. Finally I made a folder with that name, and manually copied the files from the recovery folder on my PC into the folder on my tablet, and the move to 4.3.0 went through without further incident. The move to to 4.3.1 also went without problems, although I did move the files over manually again, just to be sure.

Everything else seems to be working just fine. The SD card took a little long to be read. But it finally did. Well Done, Sir! :cool:
[G Tablet General] ramerco:
Sounds a little above the scope of my knowledge. Maybe someone else will make one. :D

I'll post over in the calkulin rom thread so as not to take this one off topic.
