I've only used the latest version, but have noticed a behavior not covered here:

rather than deleting the /recovery/command file, it deletes the contents of the file. This seems to happen whether or not the update actually happens.
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
I can't remember on whether or not it happens when it doesn't actually run the update. However, it has always deleted the command file for me.

/recovery/command

ends up

/recovery/

Thanks to everyone

I just want to say thanks to everyone on this site. I was worried about purchasing the g tablet with some of the reviews and no support from Viewsonic.

However after reading this for the past few weeks I have not only purchased one, I have already modified it with a new ROM and skipped a lot of headaches.

The information presented is just great and who knows, maybe after awhile I'll expand my knowledge enough to develop something of my own.
[G Tablet General] cmduarte:
Does this install/update procedure work with Vegan-Tab? I am so frustrated trying to get that installed. I usually get the message that it cannot be read.
[G Tablet General] cmduarte:
It appears that CWM is confused with which SD card I am using. When I do a search for the zip file, it looks like it shows my SDCARD2 instead of SDCARD. I am not sure what to do, because I have a hard time accessing SDCARD2 regularly, thus I have been putting everything into SDCARD.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Which version of cwm are you using and which rom?
[G Tablet General] cmduarte:
I worked around it.

Figured out a work around. Copied update.zip&recovery folder to my sdcard2 and was able to flash it. CWM is residing on sdcard2. Nothing else except for filemanagers see sdcard2. I cannot use it thru USB to connect to my PC for adding/removing files, and WiFiExplorer does not see it either. I now have Vega-Tab working, however my Market is back to not seeing everything.
[G Tablet General] cmduarte:
I know I haven't answered your questions. I forget which version of CWM I have installed and haven't figured out how to tell from Android. It is a recent and suggested version. Vegan-Gtab 5.1 Rom.

command file not being removed - recovery fails

This makes some things I have been doing for months much clearer, but unfortunately, I do not have a resolution to my latest issue.

I have successfully updated my G Tablet this way, and using clockwordmod, but I recently had to have the power connector (barrel connector) re soldered onto the board after a bad spill, and now the recovery does not complete. I can get into recovery mode, and get the 2 lines:

Detect a recovery key pressed

Booting recovery kernel image

But nothing happens and the command file is not removed.

Has anyone ever encountered this, and do I have any hope?
[G Tablet General] Spazmogen:
use NVFlash to do it then.

it defeats the purpose of this thread, but apx mode should still flash for you.

[Continuum General] Bosephus:
Worked fine!

Update (about 3 days late)

After flashing my GPAD to Vegan, I did get ad-hoc to work through the tether app installed on the continuum (for the newbies like myself: Android has adhoc connecting disabled by default, so you have to use -- from what I can tell -- a custom ROM to connect to an adhoc wireless connection).

The Continuum only needed to be rooted so tethering could be installed.

[Continuum General] ciscogee:
works thanks
[Continuum General] pastorbennett:
I'm currently using Open Garden. It seems to be working great so far. I actually paid for the full version of EasyTether, and there's problems with the Continuum and EasyTether. Evidentially, USB debugging times out after a while. It's no biggie though, for me, because using a wifi tether app is so much simpler.
[Continuum General] Bierce22:
The new beta from Google works the best because you can enable softap mode so linux and playstations will pick it up. Open garden, barnacle, the wireless tether from the market just use adhoc frequincies so not everything will pick it up.
[Continuum General] pastorbennett:
Ahh... I was not aware of that. Thanks for that info!
[Continuum General] pastorbennett:
The Google beta app works, but my primary problem with it is the fact that it turns off BT every time I tether. I'll be using Open Garden until a newer version is released that doesn't affect my BT connection.
[Continuum General] Moon Shadow - NM:

Hello there!

First time I rooted my phone I ended up without a phone for a whole day as I couldn't restore my original backup. I had to install a stock rom and now I'm a happy CyanogenMod user.

Question is:

I tried doing a backup again with rom manager today just in case. I had 1.9 gb in my sdcard. It was going ok but then it said no sdext...skipping sdext..and soon after it booted back.

This is exactly what happened last time so before I go ahead and try another ROM such as MIUI I want to make sure my current ROM did safe properly and I would be able to restore back to it if I wanted to.

Sdcard now shows 1.4gb so it definitely took some of it. Any way to confirm a backup?

Thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimebagdan65:
Unless you formatted your SD card to have an EXT partition, it'll always skip that part. To confirm a backup was made, use any file explorer and navigate to sdcard>clockworkmod>backup, the folder will be there.

[G Tablet General] Rhodizzle:
Hey everyone.

I just got a brand-new G-Tablet through Sears. I'm checking here to see if anyone has any ideas before their tech support opens in ~two hours.

I got it to my office, plugged it in and charged it until the light turned green. Then I turned it on and played with it a bit. I didn't have a method to put it on the network right then to sync anything, so I really just poked around and then set it to the side. One thing to note is that I wasn't presented with a setup screen at all, it booted straight to home.

Then later that afternoon when I went to go home, it wouldn't power on. I'm not sure if it went to sleep or powered off, but nothing happens no matter what button combination I press. I've tried just pressing power, holding it down for 4 seconds, holding it down for 30 seconds, power and volume + at the same time, and power and volume - at the same time.

I tried hooking it up to my computer last night, thinking that maybe the display didn't come back from sleep and maybe I could force a reboot via ADB, but it must be off alltogether since it didn't trigger a USB installation on the computer.

When I plug it in to charge, the little light turns red, then a while later turns green, indicating that it is fully charge, yet still no joy.

Your thoughts?
[G Tablet General] prking07:
Press the power button for a really long time to see.
[G Tablet General] Rhodizzle:
Just held it down for 90 seconds, no dice. I tried pressing it briefly afterwards too just in case.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
I think Roebeet and a few others had a similar issue. I believe they had to wait 24+ hours for the battery to drain. I can't find the thread but the search button may help
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You didn't update the firmware, correct? This is a known issue with the older firmware and it's happened to me.

I believe that the device is frozen - and yes, when it gets in that state you cannot reset it, even when holding down the power button. You have two choices, when this happens:

1- Open up the back of the device (and thus voiding the warranty) and press the reset button on the system board. That will fix it immediately. I know this probably isn't the best option, but I wanted to mention it.

2- Unplug the device and wait for the battery to completely drain. This takes about 24 hours. Once drained, you can press the power button and it will boot up for 10-15 seconds before stopping - that's your queue that the device is "fixed" so you can start re-charging it.

Fortunately, this probably seems to be resolved on newer firmware, tmk. I've only had this happen on a device with the original stock firmware.
[G Tablet General] Rhodizzle:
The two of you are gentlemen and scholars. I'll let you know how it turns out. I was on the phone to get the RMA when the line went all fuzzy and I couldn't talk to them. Then it did the same thing when I called back. Then I saw this post. Divine Intervention...
[G Tablet General] Rhodizzle:
Going on 28 hours now and still nothing...I'll probably give it at least 3 days before I send it back.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Give it a few more hours, and then plug it in for a minute and try powering it up. the battery could be so drained at this point that it needs to be plugged in to go on.

Mine took 24 hours to drain, but I wasn't sure if it was at 100% charged, at the time.
[G Tablet General] Rhodizzle:
Almost to the 48 hours mark and still nothing. I tried plugging it in briefly just to check and the red light still comes on, but it won't power up. Anyone know the possible standby time of a fully charged batter on these things? I was thinking if the system locked up and it isn't hardly doing anything, it could last a while...
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Maybe a return to the store you purchased it from at this point. The battery should be dead by now. You should be able to get an exchange or you can try the other route Roebeet suggested but that will definitely void your warranty
[G Tablet General] Rhodizzle:
The problem is that I'm in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Shipping time is at least 2 weeks and sears won't do an advance replacement. Neither will the Viewsonic support folks. So I'm either stuck having to buy a second one and waiting for them to get the original back before the refund, or waiting a month or more for a repair...

Are there any seals inside the case that get broken if you open it?

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Sorry to hear that. I think the reset button on the board would have worked, but I understand why you wouldn't want to open the device up. We shouldn't have to void our warranty to be able to do a hard reset.
[G Tablet General] GTO777:
You might try nvflash.... worked on a friends.
[G Tablet General] Rhodizzle:
But was your friend's responding at all? I get absolutely nothing. the only thing the tablet does is give me a red light when it's charging and a green light when it's done. The power button does nothing and volume down + power does nothing. doesn't nvflash require a connection over USB before it can do anything?

Does anyone have know if this is a problem with my SD card?

I find it odd that I also had the lockscreen freezing on my other SD card, I don't have it with me at the moment, so I can't compare the logs.

Is it also possible that the internal memory is corrupt? (Which would be a lot worse i guess :eek:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Are you overclocking? If your min cpu speed is lower that 245mhz sometimes you get issues with the device waking.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flying_Pig:
No, I'm not over/underclocking.

The second log was taken after several failed downloads of updates from the market. It showed the exact same error as the one were the lockscreen froze, but the phone functioned normally. Except for the downloads that failed of course.

I think the freezing is the result of an app or essential file on the SD card that can't be reached. Is that possible?
