That is strange. Sometimes things just get screwy. I wouldn't get too caught up in it, but pay attention if it happens again.

Which Vegan-TAB do you have Beta 1, 2 or 3? If you have Beta 1 there is a supplement for it. You would flash it through clockwork mod.

Here is the link to the thread:

Don't forget to make a backup first. This fixed the market permanently for me. I could not see facebook when I first started. This makes the market very complete.

Help - cant re-install cwm .08

First let me say thank you, to the devs who have worked on all this stuff!!!

now to my tantrum:D

i have screwed up my recovery somehow and can not get CWM.08 to flash again (fire proof underwear, CHECK. Commence flaming :p )

everything was working fine and being flash a holic and all i decided to try the latest CM7 nightly (harmony N86, for the record)

so i downloaded CM7-N86 booted into CWM.08 did a backup of VeganTabRC 1 (thanks to Gojimi BTW) then went into CWM.08 > Mounts and Storage and performed a FORMAT BOOT > FORMAT SYSTEM > FORMAT DATA > FORMAT CACHE. then i went into advanced and did a Dalvik Wipe i then returned to the main menu and choose install update and installed the CM7-N86...installed gapps20110307 booted into the rom everything was working flawlessly tried to boot into recovery to make a backup of the CM7-N86 with all my apps and settings and nothing.

when i hols down the volume + butting to boot into recovery it says "Recovery key detected" BUT it does not say recovery kernel detected (not sure of the exact wording)

i tried downloading a fresh copy of CWM.08 and dropped in onto the root of the tab held down recovery key and nothing.

i next tried downloading the microsd_cwm.08.zip and deleted the last CWM.08 that i dropped onto root and tried recovery again..nothing

i then found this thread on downgrading the boot loader (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036956) tried that and nothing

and now i am here begging for someone to take pitty :confused: on me and give me a hand.

Thanks in advance!!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
First, no flaming. We are all friends here. :)

Second, did you unzip the cwm internal and place the recovery and update.zip folders on the root? If you did not unzip it, it will not work.

You could also try ROM Manager. I have not tried this method, but heard it works. Download ROM Manager from the market, it is free. When you open it, it may ask if you want to update cwm. DO NOT LET IT UPDATE. Instead, go to the bottom and select All Clockwork Mod Recoveries. Then select 2.5.1.1 and press OK. It will then start the flash. If it works, remember to delete ROM Manager. It is a great utility, but on the G-TABs could spell disaster if your are not paying attention and it updates cwm.

Let us know how it goes.
[G Tablet Android Development] MAC_NYC:
First let me say THANKS! for your help & quick reply

I unzipped the appropriate cwm.08 and dropped update.zip & Recovery directory onto to the root of each and tried them each 1 at a time. No go :(

I tried installing cwm from market and when i try to install recovery 2.5.1.1 i get "an error occured while trying to flash your recovery. In cwm it says i currently have 2.5.1.1 bekit 0.8 recovery installed:confused:
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Well.... If you cannot reflash cwm or install it from the ROM Manager, it looks like you may have to go nuclear with an nvflash. A relatively simple process. Since you just flashed it sounds like you won't lose much. However, since you will need to repartition your sdcard with 2048/0 you will lose all data on the card.

That should square you away and get everything back to normal. Hell, why not try Honeycomb? You need to nvflash for that and since Ginger and Honey lack H/W acceleration, it may behoove you to try HC. Just sayin. Either way, let us know,

If you want to continue with Froyo or Ginger:

If you have the drivers for your PC, I have hosted a pre-compiled nvflash:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21166889/nvflash.zip

Here, I will make it easy:

The standard warnings apply. Download at your own risk, I'm not responsible for you bricking your device...blah blah blah!

Once you have the drivers installed you take my zip and unpack it to your desktop. Then you turn off your device and reboot it with the Vol - button depressed. The tablet will appear to be off, but it is in fact in APX mode, then plug your device into your computer and your computer should recognize it as an nvidia something or other. Then, just open your folder that you extracted to the desktop and double click nvflash_gtablet.bat

A bunch of stuff should come up and your tablet will be restored to factory condition. You will need to reload CWM and repartition your sdcard - 2048/0. Just a forewarning, this will erase all data on the device.

Good luck!

Not true. You can nvflash in the right cwm for the version of bootloader you have (1.1 or 1.2).

[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
You are right, I did suggest to go back to stock. I did know that you could replace the part9.img file with cwm recovery, but I was unaware that you could do it without disturbing the rest of the ROM.

Does this have a high success rate? It sounds cool enough.
[G Tablet Android Development] tawright:
Same boart

I followed the same steps. first I downgraded from 1.2 to 1.1. Then I installed CWM .8 and booted to the recovery menu. Worked great. Then I partitioned the SDcard and then created my ROMs folder. mounted data and system, copied over the VEGAN rom. Then the last step says to reboot that it may take 15 minutes. Well I left it over night and it is still at the birds. Any suggestions?

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
If you have the USB drivers use my prepackaged nvflash. Just run the batch file (insert disclaimer here). Then, it will boot like normal, allow it to update to 3588 and then reboot with the cwm update and recovery folders (vol + and all that jazz), partition using a 2048/0 configuration and then install update from zip.

[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Do you know what firmware you had on it before you began? You need to be on a 1.1 boot loader meaning a firmware no higher (numerically) than 3588. You could always nvflash your tablet and go from there if you were not sure of your original firmware.
[G Tablet Android Development] vapor311:
oddly I can't get into recovery keeps saying its loading the recovery backup orsomething and sits forever...any ideas?

Recovery kernal image to be exact
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Sounds like you lost cwm. You need to reinstall it. You can do it if you can boot to a ROM. If not, you can flash cwm by doing an nvflash and replacing part9.img with cwm recovery.img file. Just rename part9.img to part.img.old and copy over the recovery.img from cwm and rename it to part9.img. Then, do your typical nvflash and cwm will be restored.
[G Tablet Android Development] vapor311:
Never had cwm. ...
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
That is sad for you.

Can you boot into the ROM?

If not, you need to nvflash as you lost/or it got corrupted the factory recovery.
[G Tablet Android Development] vapor311:
yea no rom nothing this thing is brand new from factory and its doing this....Honestly I have 2 options here I can exchange via tiger direct or i can try this nvflash stuff if theres a guide to it.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
nvflashing is a common task and a fairly simple one. There are many threads offering support and in fact, I host a nvflash zip package on dropbox. If you plan on exchanging this device because you don't want to do a nvflash you may just want to return it all together.

Right now, I am pretty confident that you are on a 1.1 bootloader. This applies to the Froyo ROMs out there. If you ever want to move to HC, the gold standard is a 1.2 bootloader which does require a nvflash. There are some HC ROMs ported to 1.1, but the process is a bit unstable.

If I were you, I would learn how to nvflash (seriously, once you have the files and the drivers it is only a double-click).

Good luck.
[G Tablet Android Development] vapor311:
Bl 1.2 actually I checked...which made the nvflash info a bit confusing it speaks of it being for 1.1.
[G Tablet Android Development] vapor311:
I harrassed tiger badly enough on the phone to make them have someone in the warehouse open one and look in info.

So that being said I can return this for a working one and go from there with flash rom etc...

Or and this is my hang up...this device is brand new...two days old. I should be able to turn it on and go into the factory rom. At this point its never even loaded once properly if.I use nvflash wipe it etc and it still has an.issue would I.be able to.return it?

Here's the deal.

Yours probably shipped with 4359 which is a 1.2 BL. If you try to load any ROM on this page, it will soft brick your device. Unfortunately, yours is soft bricked and you need to do an nvflash. A nvflash restores the tablet back to factory settings. This will restore a working tablet. Please remember that once you mess with the ROM you technically void your warranty. However, you can nvflash back to stock and no one will ever know you tampered with it. That being said, a new tablet most likely won't help your situation. That new tablet will ship with a 1.2BL and you will have the same issue.

You have to decide if you want Froyo or Honeycomb. Then I can instruct you better. Regardless you should nvflash and save yourself the time waiting on a new tablet.

[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Sounds to me like clockwork mod did not install correctly for you. That means it is nvflash time. There are threads around on it. You need to nvflash back to stock (you want the 3588 1.1 Boot Loader). Then reinstall and reload clockworkmod. Then, try to load your new ROM.

Ok. Thanks but other roms seemed to install and some do what I described
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Each ROM has its own little nuances. Some are a straight flash over anything. Some require a full wipe. Some require a partition. Some require a wipe of certain parts after install. Some will tank if you wipe something you shouldn't.

Since you are on CM7 and starting from scratch I wouod suggest getting over to the 1.2 bootloader and installing Honeycomb. I really think you will enjoy it.

Market Crashes

Tried to update to the latest VEGAn-tab (the one released a few days ago) without luck, but thanks to this guide I was able to get back to the RC.

However, the biggest reason I wanted to get onto the new beta was my ongoing problems with the Market. Every time I open it, it force-crashes and upon the next launch, tries to update to the newer version.

I've tried every combination I can think of of restarts, uninstalling updates, force closing, clear data, clear cache, etc...and it just won't stay open. It keeps force-closing on me.

Has anyone found a workaround for this that sticks?
[G Tablet Android Development] fooxz:
I had the same issue with vegan tab before moving to gtabcomb, but there was either an issue with the market crashing, or with the market thinking the device was incompatable with every single app in the market (fixed by clearing data/cache for market/google framework) and I think i fixed the force closing by reinstalling the market, but I had a .apk of it from my SGS, and it ended up updating itself and working properly. It might have been fixed by flashing a market.zip in recovery. (was attached to the first post @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007455 )

but note, if market doesn't force close, it may still have an issue with the incompatability thing, but if you follow the instructions in post two in this thread, it worked for me for a while, but didn't quite stick.

Did you remove the old recovery folder and update.zip from your internal sdcard before putting the new folders there?
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
First things first: Do not use ROM Manager on the gTab. You will have these sort of problems.

To fix your problem, run the Terminal Emulator app in CM7 and type (only the stuff in bold):

$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]erase_image misc[/B]

(You may have to wipe the "bootbmp" partition instead of "misc", on some gTabs, because those 2 partitions have switched places on them. On these gTabs, erasing misc actually erases "bootbmp" and your bootlogo--the 3 VS finches--disappears. Use erase_image bootbmp on these gTabs.)

If your version of CM7 does not have the erase_image program, you'll have to resort to nvflash to wipe the misc (MSC) partition.

Tips:

1. Do not use ROM Manager on this tablet.

2. Do not use the Reboot Recovery feature anywhere to boot into CWM. Use the old-fashioned method of pressing power while keeping the Vol [+] key depressed.
[G Tablet Android Development] ezzhisham:
I wrote the two lines in the terminal, and tried to go I to recovery with the physical way (volume+ + power) but nothing happened it didn't go to recovery

Any help
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
1. For the erase_image misc command, did you also type in the '#' character? If you did, then the command did not execute.

2. Did you lose the birds after you ran the correct erase_image misc command? If you did, then you have a gTab with the swapped misc and bootbmp partitions (like mine), so you will have to use erase_image bootbmp instead.

3. You may also have to wipe the cache partition. That one and misc are the 2 partitions used for communication between the bootloader, the kernel and the recovery image.

Since you should not wipe cache while the system is running and you can't boot into CWM, put the gTab into APX mode (Power and Vol [-]) and wipe cache.

Commands:

C:\SOME\DIR> [B].\nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --getpartitiontable part.txt[/B]

[I]Now look through part.txt and find out the partition no. of the misc (MSC)
partition[/I]

C:\SOME\DIR> [B].\nvflash -r --format_partition 7[/B] [I] Most gTabs have MSC on 7; a few have it on 6[/I]
C:\SOME\DIR> [B].\nvflash -r --format_partition 12[/B] [I]Cache is always on 12[/I]
C:\SOME\DIR> [B].\nvflash -r --download 9 recovery.img[/B] [I]Re-install recovery partition[/I]

The last 3 commands should fix your problem.

Note that for the last command which writes a new recovery image, you must use a recovery.img which matches your bootloader. You can get a proper recovery.img for a 1.1 bootloader (and the bootloader.bin for the commands above) here. Or get the latest CWM from this thread.

Note also that the commands above assume that the nvflash.exe program, its *.dll files, the bootloader.bin and recovery.img are all in the same directory and that you have typed a "cd c:\some\dir\" to change to it (in a cmd.exe window) prior to running the commands.
