[G Tablet General] jatt77:
My experiences with install hope it helps someone out there

1) Problems with cwm .8 install. If you don't cleanly dismount your micro sd card windows leaves a file on there called lost.dir which will totally hose you. Here what I mean by clean dismount (from windows). Don't just pull it out(micro sd) bc if you do you won't see the file until after the fact and it doesn't work. You MUST go down on task bar (bottom right) find the "Safely remove hardware icon" right click on it select "safely remove hardware and then eject media" then pull out your micro-sd card. I know many people already have a habit of doing this but I didn't bc usually I'm working on something that it doesn't matter and I never noticed that it leaves that lost.dir file on there which will give you fits on this install and you only see it after the fact. If you don't think about it you don't realize that it's hosing you ! kind of like many things in life. Then if you do it the same way again there's the file again (after it's hosed your cwm .8 install).

2.) Editing the command file. One of the installs I was using said the path to the "SDCARD" was redirected but when I looked at it in command it said "SDCARD" which was pointing to the "INTERNAL" memory on the Gtablet NOT the Micro SD card I was sticking in the "EXTERNAL" slot. So I had to change it from "SDCARD" to "SDCARD2" which I suggest you use a real editor not anything with Microsoft in front of it. I used Notepad ++.

3. # 2 above explained why when I kept booting it would start the package install and I would never see the progress bar and it never installed it wasn't the right path (the path wasn't redirected like I thought or yes it was redirected but opposite of what I thought, LESSON: ALWAYS check your paths forget what somebody else wrote bc you might be reading it backwards or they wrote it backwards most techno weenies are either dyslexic or ADD like me :) ) . BC once CWM .8 is installed you don't need the micro sd card. Having said all that I never actually saw the progress bar bc it's such a small package and installs very quickly. The way you know you got it installed is to reboot without the micro sd card using the power and + volume method to restart. If it comes up to the cwm .8 menu then you got it if not you don't. It is a menu by the way it looks like a on DOS Shell the very first choice on the menu says something about a REBOOT. You navigate by using the volume + or - and to select you use the home button on the face of the G Tablet.

On the Tnt 3.1 update I had to run it from with the original "SDCARD" path in the command file. I couldn't get it to work from the micro sd card. BTW from CWM .8 I pretty much deleted everything. We used to call that wiping the drive but with these new fangled things it's not a drive so whatever. I formated it with the format tool in CWM using partition of 2048 and SWAP of 256 which is formatting the Internal Memory which is SDCARD. This baby flies I'm mean it FLIES, it was worth all the pain. I still don't have all the market, like Kindle and Angry Birds doesn't show up but we'll get to that. I'm very happy with this TNT build 3.01 with the 3.12 update. GREAT JOB !

OBTW

I think I had a permission problem as well but I didn't bother tracking it down. If you wipe the drive you kiss all your permissions problems goodbye. So yes it's kind of a drastic thing to do but as long as you have cwm .8 working your good. You can put the "vanilla" system back on it as long as your vanilla is not chocolate or something else. I should add this is the land of ADD, OCD and Dyslexia so remeber that when your reading these posts :)

One more thing Music is not working. When you click on the search magnifying glass nothing happens. I don't remember seeing that in the update notes. Other than it says "No songs found !"
