APX mode looks as if the tablet is off. Only a faint glow (that can be missed during the day). The screen will still be black.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Kerivkennedy:
So it was indeed at the apx screen. I had already tried once to re-do the flash and it didn't think the tablet was there. Odd.

Its still in the Tap-n-Tap splash screen loop. (Or am I wrong that 15 minutes is a long time for it to take? I know it takes a long time the first time).
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
Give it 30 minutes before you worry. It should boot completely up. If not, try a manual reboot, if not again, try to boot into apx mode and then do the nvflash procedure again using the instructions I gave you. Post back after you can clearly see the TnT main screen.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Kerivkennedy:
All it does after the splash screen is go to a black screen.

What do I do now??
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
So, you get the birds, and then all black? Like APX mode?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Kerivkennedy:
Got birds, the G-tablet icon the splash screen that goes between the tap-n-tap logo and the "n" logo (with the leaves or whatever they are). It is on that splash screen for a LONG time - about 20-30 minutes, then back, as if in APX mode. However my laptop does not recognize it in APX anymore, yet I have to long press the power to get it off (to retry anything)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
I am going to give you directions to get from where you are now, to Flashback 8.1 which is a Honeycomb ROM:

1.) Copy Titanium backup folder to your desktop from your tablet. If you have titanium installed.

2.) Download this (nvflash 1.2): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21166889/nvflash1.2.zip

3.) Unzip to desktop

4.) Make sure tablet is 100% charged (light is green)

5.) Plug tablet into PC and reboot holding vol - button

6.) Screen should go black tablet is in APX mode

7.) Double click the nvflash_gtablet.bat

8.) The tablet should reboot when it is done

9.) Press enter on the computer to close the DOS box

10.) Reboot the tablet into APX mode vol -

11.) Rename the part9.img file in the nvflash folder to part9.old

12.) Rename the clockworkmod.img file to part9.img

13.) Double click nvflash_gtablet.bat

14.) This will install cwm

15.) Rename part9.img to clockworkmod.img

16.) Rename part9.old to part9.img

17.) Reboot tablet into recovery vol +

Now continue on to the paper directions found in post one, my step 17 is step one of the paper directions. - https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1_vV0gFlIsikCO6ai8LhHhnuVNEYomQIwKLPYl9GMAbM

I have a meeting to go to tonight, so I will not be able to respons for a while. Please check your PM
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Kerivkennedy:
It worked!!!!! Thank you!

Now to set everything back up (yeah I have Titanium - but still)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
Please make checks payable to...

Just kidding. I am very happy for you. If you need further support, don't hesitate to ask.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] DJR0D:
Mine crashes sometimes. But i did that language thing....and it worked for a hour. But i noticed this:

When your in the Market viewing a item...where it says:See More (Like a drop down to see more about that item)...if you click that...BOOM..force close. At least for me. If you dont...all is good with the Settings>Language>Select English fix.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] tomohara:
vol down + pwr

Sleep of death seemed like a hardware problem for me (no fixes worked). However, I noticed that if I hold volume down and then tap the power button, I get a clean wake. I have not seen this fix on any threads yet.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
That is one of the known fixes. Actually, tapping the volume button once before waking should be just as affecting. Also, having you tried a rapid double tap?

Lastly, which ROM are you on as it is also sometimes ROM /kernel dependent.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] titooo7:
Why are we using a T-Mobile G1 fingerprint?

Wouldn't be better to use a fingerprint from Acer Iconia A500 or Optimus 2X?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
Which version are you running? On 9+ the fingerprint is EeePad.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] titooo7:
9+??

I'm using Beasty+Clemsyn rom
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
Sorry, tapatalk listed this under the Flashback thread, sorry again.

This market fix thread is non-ROM specific. If you are experiencing issues, I would suggest posting those questions in that thread.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mjpaine:
Followed all the steps but the market will not let me download any apps. The market loads up just fine. I am using gtab comb b1.1. And flash player 11.

Market Not Working on my GTAB after applying market fix

I am attaching my build.prop files , I have tried everything and I get an error on the purchase when downloading from the market. I can see the entire market w/o any issues. I even tried removing all of my google accounts and applying the market fix and then adding my account back. One issue that I have noticed is that when I restart my GTAB the WIFI is disabled everytime, maybe that is the cause of the problem not to sure.

Here is my build.prop file (I purchased root explorer to modify this file)

Any assisstance would be appreciated.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
I think you need to try a fresh install. Option 2 should work. What ROM did you come from to get here?

Can't Get Full Market Back

Grrr. Could not connect to Market and was getting message: "google talk authentication failed android" after start up. Fixed that and Market connected but not the Full Market. Checked my Android account on the web and it shows my device Nvidia - VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0b5.1.1 registered and all my downloaded apps. Last download was Jan 1 2012. Ran steps 6 & 7 of the Full Market fix many times, but I still haven't got the Full Market back.

Help.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
Under accounts remove you google account and then readd it. Then perform the market fix.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] digh:
Was going to do that, but I got this message: This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the device to factory defaults (which deletes all your personal data). You do that in the settings application, under Privacy.

Under Privacy the only choices are Back up my data, Automatic restore (both are checked) & Factory data reset.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] digh:
Well, I hit Clear Data and Force Stop, with nothing in the Cache to clear,under the Market app and that did it. Go figure.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] HipGnosis:
Hi

I just got a G Tablet and this is my first post.

I don't have a smart phone, so I don't have an account on Google play.

So how will I log in on it once I do the fix?

I did create a Gmail account. Do I also need a google-wallet account?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
Your gmail account is what will give you access to the Google Play Store. That gmail account will be linked to all of your downloads and purchases for future reference. Once you sign into your gmail account on the device (usually during a setup screen after flashing a ROM, but this varies by ROM and device) it will automatically give you access to the Google Play Store. When you click the Store icon it will ask you to accept the EULA and then you are in.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] renildrah:
Has anyone been able to get this to work with the Google Play Store?

I've followed the steps but the issue that has come up is after entering the Market app for the first time, it will automatically update itself to the Google Play Store.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
That is a ROM dependent question. I know it works on Team DRHs ICS and JB, Roebeets Brilliant Corners and Mountain Laurel.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] renildrah:
VEGAN-TAB v.7.0.0

I found a post about a modded Play Store and tried that but that made no difference.

I believe you have to get the paid version to edit. Worked for me.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ehunyadi:
Wow... TV.com is AMAZING. This app alone is worth going through the process.

Thanks to everyone who made this possible!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] lamlam01:
which fingerprint / release-key should be used? which other device is closest to the format of the g tab?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rcgabriel:
Edits made to original post. Removed unneccesary steps, and clarified that you need full paid version of Root Explorer or another program to edit text.

@ehunyadi agreed on TV.com. I think it would be a lame app on a phone, but on the G Tablet it's quite cool. Can't wait for more video content, Netflix app would be fun.

@lamlam01 regarding market fingerprints, I am sticking for now with the signature in my original post. I am sure the Samsung Galaxy signature will work too, but until there are more tablet devices out there with market access, I don't think there will be many apps that you are missing, if any.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] control_logic:
Please....
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mmracing:
Nice work. Now I see TV.com.

Thanks for the post!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] anlog:
Works for me as well. Nice find!

I still can't see "Multipicture Live Wallpaper" in the Market on my GTab, though it shows on my phone. Other apps that weren't showing on the tab before now show up, though, so it's much better than before.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] RavenII:
Still no Pocket Legends...don't know why...it's weird...maybe taking it from the CM rom for gTab is the right idea...as it has true full...FULL access...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rcgabriel:
Hmmm, Raven, not sure. I played around with several different ro.build.fingerprint settings, even used the exact one from my Nexus One which is an FRG83-based build, and the description string, and the product string, then re-running the Market Fix. No noticeable change, still get basically the same "almost-everything" in Market. Pocket Legends shows up on my Nexus One's Market search, but doesn't seem to show up on my G Tablet Market still.

I just ran a bunch of other searches "galaxia", "handcent", "pocket empires", "ebook reader", "pdf reader", and all now return identical results between my Nexus One and my G Tablet.

The *only* exception seems to be the search "3d games", which returns 266 results on my G Tablet and 286 results on my Nexus One. One game I notice that also seems to not show up on the G Tablet is Tank Hero Beta, obviously there are probably 18 others. Also, just found the phrase "video player" returns 153 results on my G Tablet, versus 159 results on my Nexus One. These numbers are with the FRG83 fingerprint in build.prop, not the original FRF91 fingerprint my instructions use, so exact numbers may vary ever so slightly.

So for right now, it seems like we have gone from about 80-85% of Market to perhaps 96-98% of Market, with a few apps related to video or 3d graphics still seemingly missing. Still much better than it was before, but I'm not totally satisfied yet. If I have some spare time in the next few days I'll drill down a bit more into build.prop and see if I can figure out the difference.

The only other thing I can think of, outside of a more obscure setting in build.prop, is that the Nexus One Market is an HDPI build, rather than the MDPI build that we use on the G Tablet and that somehow that difference might affect certain apps from showing up.

I have TNT Lite 2.20 and it works just fine (the newer version I got directly from their sites on the tablet).

I have the latest TNT Lite and it seems to work. Oddly however when I try to install TV.com I get an error message stating there is no more space. Both the system space and storage space are 90% free. odd... But the market works better, lol.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ronhoney:
Wow! Thanks much. Had to go through the process about 3 times (without the Running Applications step...Market never showed up as running even after switching directly to settings) and it finally worked. Only thing it won't find that I was looking for was Vlingo.

Here's my post referencing the page I'm trying to reach:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9611625&postcount=1

Do you suppose the other fields referring to the phone hardware in the build.prop need to be changed as well?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Slaterman:
This is sweet, not much left now. Great work rc and Robeet. I just installed TnT(Lite)2.2.0 and did the better market hack. This worked flawlessly and the TV.com app came up the first try.

The speed increase was absolutely evident and quadrant's now up to 2430. CBS streaming is working great too.

Can't wait for netflix and hulu to come join the party. This thing's going to finally convice me to put away my PDN. ;-)

Thanks for all your hard work.

Slaterman
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rcgabriel:
Yeah, you have to run Market first, in order for it to show up on the running list. I guess I never mentioned that in my post, though the Youtube video shows that. My bad. :)

Not sure about Vlingo. Seems to join the now very short list of apps that still are missing after this fix (Pocket Legends, Jrioni MAME, and a few other minor games).
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rcgabriel:
It's possible that's the issue, I suppose - I've changed some but not all of the other fields on my build.prop and though a few other apps seem to have appeared (i.e. my 3d games search now shows 279 results, vs. 286 on my Nexus One, and 266 after just changing fingerprint and build description, video player now returns 157 vs. 159 on Nexus One, and 153 after fingerprint and build description alone), it hasn't made Pocket Legends or Jrioni MAME show up for me.

Based on what I have changed so far, if the issue is in build.prop, it must be ro.product.* or ro.board.platform since those are the only things I've left alone at this point. I may experiment more later with these.

EDIT: Be careful with the ro.board and ro.product settings. I tried changing ro.build.platform, ro.build.product, ro.product.board, ro.product.device, ro.product.name, ro.product.manufacturer and ro.product.brand settings, did the market fix, rebooted, and found that my G Tablet wouldn't boot. Had to re-flash the system partition to get it back booting again. I think the way to proceed here is to figure out what the CyanogenMod ROM does with Market to get supposedly full, unadulterated access beyond just setting the fingerprint value.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] linuxrebel:
Same situation

When I switched phones the Market showed my paid apps from my G1. Here however it doesn't. Same gmail account. But no paid apps fun (I've a number of them I'd love to move from the phone to the tablet.) Anyone have a suggestion on how to get my paid apps to re-appear?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Mike Mortazavi:
I Followed Instructions provided and was able to get tv.com which was missing before. But bluetooth gps by googooAndroid and bluetooth provider GPS Provider by Mobile-j.de don't show up.

as well as

Any Ideas?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ixprohunterxi:
you should try sending them from your phone to the tab using bluetooth file transfer works for me
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rcgabriel:
I don't know the answer to this one. My paid apps from my Nexus One have always showed up, to the extent that they are supported by the Market on my G Tablet. If none of your paid apps are showing up, I suspect something is screwed up with your user data on the tablet independent from Market fix issues. But that's a wild guess. I know wiping the user data is a pain if you've spent a lot of effort configuring the G Tablet, so I don't want to recommend that, especially as it may not fix the issue. Perhaps somebody else will have an idea on this one.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] RavenII:
It's strange, the CM rom for the gTab works with all of the apps, I'm starting to think it's more than just that fingerprint line....
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rcgabriel:
RavenII - yeah, I agree, it clearly is a bit more than just the fingerprint line, or even the fingerprint and description lines. The board and product settings in build.prop are possibilities. You could try dropping in the entire first part of build.prop from a working file into the G Tablet, or just try the build.prop from the CyanogenMod ROM, and see how far it gets you. I'm running the VEGAn firmware right now which is giving me some minor issues with the Market Fix, so I can't run and re-run it right now.

It's also possible that something other than build.prop is involved in this, though everything I found on the subject on the web seemed to indicate that build.prop is the whole deal.

Also, I'm satisfied with the "almost everything" in Market for the time being, so please feel free to let me know if you figure anything else out and I'll gladly update the instructions here. :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] slopokdave:

What ROM are you running? It took me about an hour to get it running last night on the new Vegan Alpha. Not really sure what eventually got it working but I tried the same process over and over and it eventually worked.

Do any apps show in your market, or does it say none are available?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gotwillk:
this is definitely an improved market but definitely not a full market. stuff like tv.com didn't come up before and now it does, but others still won't show, like Pocket Legends or the Doom Live Wallpaper.

Awesome trick. I'm enjoying tv.com.

I was able to avoid using Root Explorer. Instead I used a free app called "mount/system (rw/ro)". After setting it to rw mode, I opened up the terminal, switched to root ("su -"), and edited the file using the command line vi text editor which came with the TNT lite 2.2.0 that i'm running (other text editors didn't want to work).

I used the "j" key to move the cursor down to the line of text that needs to be edited.

I cleared the line ("dd")

Opened a new line ("o") and wrote out the text to replace it with

I used the ctrl key that I configured with the terminal emulator (volume up) and the bracket key to simulate the escape key ("^[")

Then saved the document using ":wq!"

All this just to avoid spending 4 bucks on Root Explorer :D

vegan tab?

Hi nice work. So you are saying if you have a gtablet do all steps but if you have an advent feat itself that is the physical hardware Tyne just use steps. 1-2? Do you now why the main browser has the cut and paste disabled? Why has tnt 2.2 removed the files below system thus destroying ip6? Without ip6 you cannot use Google goggles. Does the Apache firmware have ip6 functioning? Yo will know if you installl goggles and try to use it the default Tom for gtablet has it all in terms of the ip6 module so goggles worked fine.

I found myself with the new Market today, and unless I've totally lost my mind (very possible), I didn't install it. Did I get it pushed from Google? Had to do the fix twice, but it's now working.

EDIT: I now remember that last night I did download the new apk and put it in system/app, but it's still named market.apk and not vending.apk, so I figured it didn't update. Maybe it did?
