[G Tablet General] rr5678:
I can vouch for that. Erased system, boot, data and cache in preparation for a new ROM. Accidentally rebooted and couldn't get into recovery. Booted it into APX mode, flashed stock and was on my way.
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
I would just run ZRoot, then upload the TnTLite 3.0 recovery and update.zip and then do the recovery mode process. You should have a microsd handy just in case it doesn't work, but so far I haven't needed that.

This tablet is much easier to work with and very forgiving since VS never took the time to lock down the bootloader etc like Motorola did with my Droid X. You really shouldn't fear changing files out etc, provided you're getting a ROM from one of the people providing them here. If you can press and hold two buttons at once, you can make your gTab an awesome little tablet. It benchmarks about 1000 points higher than my Droid X on quadrant. Can't wait to see what these guys can do with Gingerbread.
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
It is also not hard to alter the update so that it does not overwrite clockwork.

Open update.zip

Find updater-script, Open in notepad++

Remove the line that references recovery.img

Flash update
[G Tablet General] dragonfly1113:
with the new update however does the z4root still work? i heard it may not anymore. just curious also since im hopefully getting mine on sat for xmas :)
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Thanks for the info Rothnic! I had already flashed it before I figured out it removed Clockwork. Learning new stuff every day is good... Thanks..
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
The very first time I rooted, I used ZRoot and installed 2.4.0. I didn't change anything and used the exact same process of simply copying over the 3.0.0 files over to the root directory of the internal memory and did the recovery procedure (vol+ and pwr keys). It worked like a charm.
[G Tablet General] dragonfly1113:
Ok cool, thanks cant wait for my g tablet hopefully sat morning :)
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
I think you'll like it a lot. I also own an iPad. While they are similar they are also a little different. Merry Christmas!
[G Tablet General] dragonfly1113:
my mom has an ipad and my dad could only buy it while i was on my honeymoon bc he knew i wouldnt approve of an apple device in the house haha.
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
My device hasn't come yet (damn you FedEx!) but I'm eagerly awaiting it.

My plan:

Unbox, start it....do a factory reset from the getgo if it has enough juice.

Set it back up. Charge it to full. If whatever comes on it is as unbearable as I've seen in on Youtube - start modifications.

Will CWM install on it AFTER I do the update if it's available to me? I've seen that the update messes with it if it's already there - but noone's mentioned putting it on there after the fact. I may just go that route for simplicity sake.

Thanks for this!, and thank you all for chiming in with your experience. I feel much better about just getting my hands dirty in it all. I had wrote something to someone yesterday about jumping in and just doing it, but when it comes to dealing with it yourself it can be a daunting task - especially when it still has that new smell, lol. Anyway, thanks again. You guys really rock.

Will stop back later on after I've done my thing :)
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
I think they are both nice devices. There are trade off for both of them. I think the screen on the iPad is wonderful, where the gTab's is okay. But the gTab has a forward facing camera, you can print from it, and you can modify it fairly easily too.
[G Tablet General] ima_UNC_fan:
...famous last words... :)

Seriously though...trust the directions from the great devs like roebeet. Follow their instructions word for word. You can switch ROMs and then flash back if you want. No worries...
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
Off topic!

Well...disappointment! Fedex had my package out for delivery at 8am and at 8pm, they're not here. This is why I like UPS, they show up at my door on the day of delivery, no exceptions - they have shown up at almost 9pm before. The Archos 101 I got was sent out at 8am as well but got here at 1:30pm - I suppose that was before the holiday rush.

Checking the details of my tracking I'm seeing a "delivery exception" at 7:30pm (I guess it was time to get back to the facility so they can clock out by 8pm?) and upon calling them I get a somewhat stumbling but polite CS who tells me the delivery went out "late" - upon which I asked if 8am was considered late, especially from a distribution facility WITHIN the same zip code as I am, and all he could say was "Very sorry about this".

Aaaanyway....I guess it will be tomorrow before I can report my adventures.

Think I'll be able to get my $3.99 back from Amazon? I have Prime and with that the package would have come tomorrow anyway. Basically my $3.99 is wasted. Imagine if I didn't have Prime though? Whew.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
If you can figure out how to brick it you will probably get an award.. It won't be a good award but probably one of those top ten dumb things people do awards. So far unless you plug the motherboard into a wall socket no one has bricked one. May think they have, but like I said before I doubt it..

And your right.. If it can be done, someone eventually will figure out how. And then we will all laugh at them.. At least I will:D
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
I finally got the G tablet tonight and...alright, don't flame me for this - but I don't see what all the complaints about the screen being horrendous or the device being molasses slow are about?

I don't know how people are trying to view it...but when looking at it or setting it on a stand to watch media, I'm not seeing any problem with the viewing angles. It's about the same as my laptop so I watch it the same way.

It's not even a 1/4 as slow as the stuff I've seen on Youtube or in some of the review videos I've seen around the net. I haven't gotten a single FC. Granted, I haven't put in a SD Card yet so maybe problems will start then?

I guess I should note, the very first thing I did was did a factory reset. Then I hooked it up to Wifi and got the 3053 update. I'm one of those who will be waiting for the 'official' update on the 24th.

I set up the time and date, restarted and everything works. I haven't installed flash yet (don't need it that much) and stuff that I DO want on there right now works fine (skype, pandora, fring, dropbox, evernote). I'm slowly figuring out a list of what I want/need from my Mytouch 4G to port to the VS GTab. Figure I don't really NEED Gtalk, Gmail on there because I have these on my phone AND PC - do I really want them making noises all around my home on 3 devices? I was concerned about getting the Google Apps on but now I'm finding I really don't need them. So it seems to me this will be a matter of learning to separate what I need on a tablet vs. my phone - I was of the mentality that I should just get whatever's on my phone on the tablet, this is something others apparently do as they seem to want everything that's on their phone, on their tablets as well.

I personally don't see the point in that. Had I had the Google Market, that would have escaped me as I'd have used Appbrain to just get my motherload of apps from the MT4G to the GTab. Not having it has slowed me, and now I get to re-evaluate before I do grab apps for it.

Now I just have to merge/convert my HTPC into a NAS device as well and find an app that will allow me to DLNA stream media from it and I'll be in mobile heaven.

I haven't had my wifi drop at all anywhere in my home and I've marched all over with it (I use full Wifi N, no G compat. so maybe my range is wider?). Tried email, etc. to replicate crashes and force closes but haven't so far. No surfing issues. I DID find that one app got 'stuck' being downloaded and I had to delete the file before the 'downloading' icon would go away, even after restart.

Maybe the trick to getting a workable GTab in the first place is to factory reset it before first use? Iunno. Things may change and issues may pop up the more I use it and as time passes - but so far, so good!

Again, I can't thank XDA enough for the advice and info. I've found and been given.
[G Tablet General] rr5678:
I figured it out. Accidentally hit one of the devkit nvflash .cabs and boom :p
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
And now I am laughing at you!:) Just kidding.....
[G Tablet General] rr5678:
Yeah, don't :p I lost a $400 device.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
You really can't fix it? Got to be a way. I don't know what it is, but darn, I really figured there should be a way. I read somewhere else about you doing that.. Figured you had fixed it.

Well that kind of blows.... Maybe the first casualty:(
[G Tablet General] rr5678:
I think I am the first casualty. All because of a slip of the mouse. I sent it to Amazon, getting my money back and getting a new one :p
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Getting a new one huh... Maybe we can laugh at you then:D

Hope it goes better next time...
[G Tablet General] rr5678:
Yep, then. Right now I'm going through G Tablet withdrawal :p
[G Tablet General] bijan588:
So its not "unbrickible"

Gtablet = titanic
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Well, I guess an Iceberg might work....:eek:
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
I dropped the ball and went ahead to put on cwm .8 so I could get the g apps.

Start back up and skipped the setup because it was taking a pretty long time (way more than 5 mins). However, I notice it must have been working because the tablet has my calendars and contacts now.

Anyway, now I can't find a way to go back in to have it officially complete setup. Since the settings in tnt don't have an 'accounts and sync' option as 2.2 does, I have no official way to re-do the setup or add the account I want. I have tried searched for and clearing data/cache from every and anything that says google but it's still not coming up when I start up.

Did I really mess up? Fixable? or do I have to do a full reset?

Thanks and sorry for all the questions. Have hands, will tinker I guess....especially when I hear it's unbrickable :eek::D

UPDATE:

I decided to clear all the Google things again as well as force stop them all after I clear them. I still didnt get the original one time setup back, but miraculously everything starting syncing fine when I reboot the tablet the next time.

I did the Market fix the extremely lazy way - I didnt bother with Titanium Backup and such but I followed the rest of the instructions to a T and it worked like a charm (ie: 1. surf the market a bit to build the cache. 2. clear the market cache and force stop. 3. clear data on framework and then force stop. start market, got error. powered down and back up and got the full market).

Granted, I'm now in a 'precarious' place where I may not ever be able to replicate what I have should things go downhill somehow or I decide I want a change, lol BUT, the point is I have EXACTLY what I wanted when I initially posted here, and I'm happy and grateful to have it.

Anyway, thanks again.

BTW, I still haven't rooted...LOL. No idea how I'm able to get away with all of this without root access, but again, extremely happy that I can and did.
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
I doubt it was really bricked. Did you get on IRC and get some help? We have full restores, and there is more to try past that.
[G Tablet General] rr5678:
The thing showed no sign of life whatsoever. Even tried to get into APX mode blindly - nothing. Not even the backlight would turn on.
[Nook Color General] cubstuff:
Having problems with Root Explorer. I open app, and it tells me that it cannot gain root. Does not go any farther. I know I have rooted, as I am using Titanium Backup and have backed up my apps (And also put apps on the color nook using TIBU). I have tried to uninstall Superuser using ADB, and to install a newer version, but have failed. I am using Superuser 2.3.6.1. Help needed!!
[Nook Color General] captfoss:
Sounds like root explorer needs to be added to your superuser whitelist...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:
if i were to say remove the HTC lockscreen, or the HTC dialer on mt4g, would i have no lockscreen or dialer at all, or would it default to stock froyo?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
not sure about the dialer... however I know if you remove the HTC Lockscreen.apk and HTC Lockscreen.odex (odex if you are running rooted but stock, just .apk if you are running Iced-Glacier) you will revert to stock vanilla lockscreen
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:
im rooted. so if i go in and remove HTC Lockscreen.apk and HTC Lockscreen.odex ill be ok? i have not installed any roms yet.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
yeah easiest way is either Titanium Backup (free) or Root Explorer (paid) but worth the cost if your gonna be messing around in system files.

HERE

for the how to... even though it's pretty easy
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:
already got all that SW on the phone.

i uninstalled the lock screen and it worked after reboot. i am so happy to have the android slider back, with the silence slider...yayyy!

anyone else confirm? i installed this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=832374

so if i removed HTC sense now i should be ok?

can anyone confirm if removal of the dialer would be safe? i do notice this...

i have GV set to ask me every call. after i pick call without google voice on the popup, i see the non htc dialer screen, then it goes to the htc dialer.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolcat615:
Removing will do just that. Remove the dailer! I tried that before and had to backup the dailer.apk so I could key in numbers. No virgin dailer here. Guess we're just stuck with it I suppose.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chadastrophic:
I used Root Explorer to move both the HTC Lock apk and odex to the SD card. Rebooted the phone and had the froyo lock screen. Then learned about the alarm issue. I moved the HTC Lock apk and odex back to the orginial location, rebooted, but still have the froyo lock screen and not the original stock sense lock. Anyone have a clue?

I also tried to click on the .apk to install it in case that was it and it errored.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:
yea i learned that the hard way! no dialer at all, and if you remove the htc contacts as well you are really screwed, as it messes with gtalk, gmail and sometimes market installations. i put the contacts apk back in and i have not had any FC issues since. the dialer for some reason is not installing but im thinking that could be because of the 3rd party dialer i have installed.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ahhduy:
Hi I tried using the search function but I think it's disabled at the moment. The screen on my friends droid always stops responding. And since it's locked theres no way to use the phone. Restarting the phone / a battery pull doesn't solve it. It just stays non responsive. The screen is still working sort of, I can see the battery charge moving and when texts are received they display at the top. But when I call her phone from mine the screen stays at the lock screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My friend is stressing over this so I'm trying to help her out.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalelf0:
Hi, I am having the same problem. I tried uninstalling some applications from a custom recovery, and even doing a factory reset didn't solve anything. I also tried booting without the SD card, without any luck. Actually I'm thinking about taking it to Motorola to have it repaired or replaced, cause I have no idea left about anything possible to try.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I wonder if that will help us get closer to having a good working version of either Gingerbread ROM for Desire, or the OTA itself...
[Desire General] 02xda1:
We already have them. Running it now.
[Desire General] remmyhi:
Indeed, the Oxygen version of GingerBread for Desire works great!
[Desire General] k.p.:
The thread for the Oxygen Gingerbread is HUGE! Too long to read the whole thing. Are there any known issues with it--does everything (wifi, video recording) work now?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
Dont hold your breath for a sence gingerbread rom soon tho, until htc release a gingerbread rom, we have no source code
[Desire General] snakeeyes21:
stock gingerbread is pig ugly.

God knows why people want to use it.

Sense version will be a million times better
[Desire General] BigRick10:
And a million times slower!
[Desire General] snakeeyes21:
Hardly, tried it and there really is no noticeable difference, well not that you would notice for day to day use.
[Desire General] jamesa9911:
Have to argue, have you tried aosp based Roms like oxygen? brilliant compared to sense, and if you don't like the look? Theme it, use launcher pro and do whatever else you wanna do

Edit: each man to his own of course, but I love the speed over the slight extra functionality of sense
[Desire General] Kermode:
But is there going to be a real version of Gingerbread for the HTC Desire?

I'm assuming they'll stop eventually.
[Desire General] vnvman:
Almost everything works, just a few minor bugs, the most oustanding (imho) being network location based applications and gps navigators not working.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
no way of porting 2.2's Sense to 2.3 then?

although as we know everyone wants the new sense 2.0 anyway :P
[Desire General] mastersjef:
Yeah the advances off the HD rom but with the new keyboard and they make the Desire a payphone......

[EVO 4G General] sleepy926:
what you need!!!!! to get an EVO and put it on BOOST. I was with SPRINT before and its riddiculous that i used to pay about $90-$1000/month with my Touch Pro2 and now i pay $50/month to use it on BOOST and i have the same service except everything is unlimited and i have no phone insurance. Calling BOOST to activate an EVO will definitely not work but if u already have a BOOST CDMA account all you really need is the MSL code for the EVO then reprogram it with your BOOST# and MSID, thats what I did with my TP2 and its been working great since Feb. Have not heard anybody whos tried it yet but im sure they will. Theres is no 4G service in NYC as of yet so thats no problem as SPRINT makes you pay$10 extra for something you dont have. Metro PCS is supposedly getting 4G service by Dec. so BOOST which is owned by SPRINT is sure to be getting it too and if I have to pay $10extra to BOOST then so be it $60/month is great compared to paying at least $40/month more to SPRINT for the same thing
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Ever heard of commas and paragraphs?
[EVO 4G General] jacoballen22:
Lol
[EVO 4G General] tangstang:
#1. It is not the exact same service, in the past boost phones were mainly nextel devices, the nextel network isn't nearly as large. Both current boost phones like the katana, blackberry, etc. and virgin mobile phones connect to a LIMITED number of sprint towers, its not the same coverage.

#2. How is boost going to charge you $10 for 4g service on a phone it doesn't offer and a service it won't provide?
[EVO 4G General] thetakara:
"except everything is unlimited"

Uh, no. You have the standard 5 GB monthly cap. :V
[EVO 4G General] nsteger123:
Anyway i can do this with a bad ESN Evo?

Could someone possibly go into more detail about this?
[EVO 4G General] imahuztlababe:
I've been lookin for a guide like crazy and cant find one, I'm a little confused on whether its as easy as changing the boost number and msid, some people say yes, some people say no you have to change the esn. Would somebody please verfiy!
[EVO 4G General] BIGDINOG:
You do not need to change anything to your phone. You simply need to get it on the Boost network. The only way to do that, is by calling and playing dumb. If you have a phone with a bad ESN, you would have to clone it, which is illegal. No 4G for Boost, only 3G.
[EVO 4G General] imahuztlababe:
ok has anyone tried the above method of changing the phone number and msid to match boost, ive tried and not getting it to go can someone please help. Phone has clean esn, is it only the one with bad esn that needs to be "esn repaired" please let me know thanks
[EVO 4G General] lex400:
no its unlimited. i pass 5gb cap every month

this is the lock screen mod for the just leaked JL5 firmware

install with clockwork

choose the deodex zip for custom ROM's like the Rom's produced by

Eugene, Master, TeamWhisky

if you flashed with Odin / Heimdall then chances are you want the stock zip

the source zip is for devs looking to port the mod to other ROM's/Phones

NOTE: framework-res.apk is a little bit larger so make sure

you have enough room on the system partition to install

I Recently Went To Remove A App From My Home Screen & When I Did I Noticed The Same App Was Still There In The Same Spot! So For The Hell Of It I Went Ahead & Moved Another App Just To Find Out That Every App & Widget On My Phone Had A Duplicate Under It! I Then Went Ahead And Took Both Off, & Replaced Them With A New Icon (Same-App) & It Seemed That My Phone Got Faster! One Issue Is That The Sense Clock Widget Would Not Recognize Being Long Pressed, So I Had To Reinstall The Clock Widget, Which Automatically Rebooted My Phone For Some Reason! After Reboot All Was Fine, Until Today When It Happened Again.... My Question Is WHAT THE HELL IS CAUSING THIS??
