[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidburn89:
w00t w00t!

Looks like all the hard work finally payed off. I am finally able to reboot without any problems. :D

Here's what I did. Remove the SD card, if any. Flash up your favorite temp OS, drain all the battery by hooking something up, like an android phone ;) to the full sized usb and let the battery drain. When the device switches off, leave it that way for 30 minutes.

Next, grab nvflash_gtablet_46_2010112600.zip and nvflash_windows_20100500.zip from the dropbox link on THIS page. Plug in the wall charger and the usb and flash like any other recovery flashes... i.e., run the nvflash_gtablet.bat. All cool. Let it boot up. All you ****'s still there. lol. :D

Now, go to storage settings. You will notice that it is actually detecting the internal storage as an SD card. Cuz the tablet storage says ~1.6GB and the SD storage says ~13GB. This is new. So I unmounted the SD and ran a format. Your settings might crash, but keep pressing the "Wait" option for a while. Then hit the "force close" option. Pull up the storage settings and you will see that the SD card is almost empty. Next, go to security and do a "Restore to factory settings". And when it reboots after this, i **** you not, you WILL see the birds. It will say detected recovery key pressed, get into recovery, clear your storage and boot back up, all shiny and new! Voila! :D

You can reboot and everything. lol. I love em birds. :D

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidburn89:
OK. So before I start feeling ballsy again and run out and flash clockwork, I want some advice from the experts. When they say, "install clockwork from microsd" they just mean you're putting the files to be flashed on the sd, right? The recovery is actually flashed on the internal storage and an sd card is not required to pull up the clockwork, am i right? Or is the clockwork ACTUALLY installed on the sd, and the sd needs to be popped in to pull up clockwork? And should I partition my internal storage on the 2048MB/0MB model before flashing any ROMS? Which installation of clockwork (sd/internal) is preferred? I don't wanna be having problems (like boot loop) while switching between ROMS. Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks! :)

Very cool...will give this a try whenever I can get the tab away from my wife.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidburn89:
Just a quick update. I have installed TnT lite 4.23 ROM. Everything is just perfect. In fact I'm using the browser right now for posting this. Also played some angry birds and watched some HD content. I'm not really loving the keyboard though. Anyway, I think this goes to prove that the g tab is actually unbrickable. Cuz now I remember having formatted the boot partition in cwm. That's pretty retarded. So.... Tegra 2 FTW. :D
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigJohn89:
That is how I understood it. I copied the install files to an external SD card, and ran the install procedures. During the recovery install, it copies the ClockWork image over to your recovery partition in internal storage. Once the process is finished, you no longer need the external card to run ClockWork.

I would recommend doing the partition before installing a ROM. You don't necessarily have to, however a lot of the squirrely issues that pop up are solved by re-partitioning. As far as which CW installation, it doesn't really matter, as both installation methods for CW produce the same outcome.

Thanks man. I kinda figured those out. :D Btw, is anybody else having trouble with the audio getting chopped while using the volume controls? It doesn't happen in games. I'm kinda hooked on angry birds. :p The battery life on this baby is amazing! And is there anything I could do to improve the viewing angles? I have ordered a skinomi carbon fiber skin. Waiting for it to get here! :)

@tcrews - dude, are you using the xda app to post? How did you make it work?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidburn89:
Hey guys... check this out! Nexus one and the g tab were chillin at the bus stop. Out of nowhere, nexus one says, "You should suck on my optical track ball." G tab looks at him and goes, "Listen buddy.... if I wasn't sporting a 10 incher right now, I would."

Thanks for this thread has saved my life

Thanks tcrews and acidburn and the rest that helped them all along the way, i thought i had to throw away my gtab and now it is back to normal. it all happened when adding TnTLite 5 rom through clockwork which you were not supposed to do.

i suffered so much at the beginning of the post when i read that it was unrecoverable, someone had said that but i kept the faith and all of you and finally it worked.

thanks all

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williec30:
so i've tried this multiple times with no love... anyone else in the APX loop and successfully use this to get out? what am i missing?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citi:
Unsuccessful, when I hit format it did so. However still showed internal storage a 1.5g. I then went to mount it and I got the errors, I waited and waited and finally it was mounted with 13.5g of space available (with internal still showing 1.5). I then did a factory reset and nothing, still black screen, still in APX.

So what now? Am I down $280?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
Bringing an old thread back from the dead.....as I'm trying to bring my old Gtablet back from the dead :)

I've upgraded to a Xoom WiFi and passed my functional Gtablet to my wife. I now have the old Gtablet she was using that can not be powered off/rebooted and thought I'd try to get it back in "fully working" condition.

Re-cap....Magic Error MisMatch (or whatever), NVflashed...wouldn't boot beyond the GTABLET screen....did some "bad research" and nvflashed with all sorts of options which now makes the Gtablet only boot in APX mode. I can do a simple..

nvflash.exe --bl bootloader.bin --format_partition 2 --go

and after it formats partition 2 the tablet boots fine and I can use it until it power off/reboots/Sleep Of Death. Kind of a pain as you need to always have it charged and hope it never SOD's.

I'm near positive that way back, when this occurred it was an --odmdata "string" that I sent that screwed it. (Was desperate and tried different nvflash options I found for any tablet) I believe, running a good part2.img through a HexEditor, that the proper/correct odmdata for the Gtablet is:

(string found was 11 00 0c 80)

--odmdata 0x800c0011

I have nvflashed with that added though it did not correct my issue. If anyone knows or can verify the odmdata string that would be a major bonus.

Currently the tablet is running GtabComb 3.3 BL1.1 though I think I'm going to flash one of the stock 1.2 BL images and see if that helps. I had it on one the other day before when I was just playing.....just to see if I could switch between 1.1 and 1.2 bootloaders, still relying on a PC/USB/NVflash combo to actually boot the tablet.

Anyone have any suggestions? New suggestions preferably :)

Nvflashed the "format" that wipes all partitions

Nvflahsed stock 1.1

nvflashed stock 1.2

nvflashed stock 1.1 w/bekit CWM

rom manager flashed lasted CWM, pulled (--read 9 cwm.img) and pushed it with combos of above

nvflash --bct gtablet.bct --setbct --bl bootloader.bin --odmdata 0x800c0011 --configfile gtablet.cfg --create --go

I'm just running out of ideas....
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
And it's FIXED. Found a thread in the Q&A section about boot issues and it had a link...

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/221...n-gtab-does-not-turn-on-and-stay-in-apx-mode/

Followed those steps exactly and it worked!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wd5gnr:
I have had this issues a few times since playing with the TeamWin recovery (although I can't prove that's what it is).

The answer each time has been to reflash partition 7 from the stock image (part7.img from the nvflash bundle). You don't even need to reflash the recovery.

I have unbricked twice this way.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
On most gTabs, partition 7 holds the "misc" partition. On a minority of others, it is the "bootbmp" partition which holds the 3 VS birds logo. Neither of the two partitions are really critical to the normal operation of the gTab.

I'm pretty sure that you can "unbrick" a gTab (if it ever was bricked as you described it) just as easily by wiping the partition.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wd5gnr:
Yes, my original gtab had the logo in 7 and MSC in 6. But all of the boot images I've seen around the network, including ones I've reformatted to multiple times have it the other way around. But you are right. Should look at the partition table (you can pull it from nvflash) and wipe out MSC. Flashing the "blank" version works.

I didn't know about the erase image command BUT if you are stuck where you can't get into recovery or regular, you have no kernel and so adb doesn't connect, right? So then you have to nvflash it. Same for the zip file. If I could have got into recovery I would have had more options.

Still good info. And still I am reasonably convinced that TW recovery is corrupting MSC.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lms1407:
Do a hard reset. /format the card - find the panasonic format utility - do a search here/ flash radio 2.15.50.14. Flash hspl 2.08. Flash Magldr. Flash another NAND Android and see if there is still the same problem.

You can skip all but flashing a new build, but the problem might be somewhere in there.

This should clean the whole device and might fix the problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spyb0y:
I`ve had the same problem with 8 gb Kingston class4 microSD. Search "Panasonic SD Formater" on google, download, and format you memory card with it. it worked for me, I hope it will work for you too. Good luck

What has been the biggest suprise so far in Vegas?

Myself, I'm curious as to why ask of these new supposed great phones are shipping with froyo instead of gb. Are they having a hard time getting it to work, thats what it seems like to me but who knows.

The Dev's here will keep us all busy downloading their roms and kernels. The life of an addict.
[General Topics] avgjoegeek:
There always a few months behind when it comes to development. GB was just released and the phone shops already were working with Froyo and got everything working with their set schedules to make the release dates.

GB I'm sure will be updated to (some) the phones... but buyer beware if they assume it will be updated don't be suprised if they never get an update on their phone.

Samsung is a great example of botched/no OTA updates.

sd card unmounted or not present??? whats going on with my phone? cannot access it threw recovery/astro/gallery help!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagnaCore:
it may be mounting as read only you can plug your phone into your computer. Goto My Computer, right click on the SD card drive. Click properties goto the tools tab and check drive for errors. It takes a few minutes.

My SD card was mounting as read only. It was caused by moving pictures to my desktop from the DCIM folder.

gotcha ill try it when i get home from work...i booted into recovery and wanted to see if i could access my sd card so i went into install zip from sd card. it took a while for my files to appear and when i chose an option it said no information available...i hope its just in read only mode
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagnaCore:
Sounds pretty similar to what happened to me and It just happened randomly. You can see the files but can't access them or move them around. Mine was giving me a notification about it and if I went to unmount it manually in settings nothing would happen.

Hi, everyone. I tried to root the HTC Gratia/Aria.

On windows (NOOBZ: The EASY guide to rooting your Aria and Installing Attn1's ROM (Win XP/Vista)) the program remains on "Waiting for root" and if I reboot manualy it fails. So I have tried with linux: I used a bootable usb (Ubuntu LiveCD with ADB and Unrevoked Recovery installer(Guide)). Again no luck : the terminal says "Error: n = -1,errno = 19 (No such device)" and the program gives me "Internal error: failed to unlock nand flash".:mad:

Any Hint??How can I root the Gratia/Aria?:confused:

Thx for all,

Nando
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
There are a couple of things that may be coming into play here.

1. Is this really an HTC Gratia and is it running Android 2.2? If so then Unrevoked can not root this version at this time.

2. If by luck you actually have an Aria and it is still running Android 2.1, then you need to download and use Unrevoked 3.21. The most recent version of Unrevoked 3.31 has an issue with some Android 2.1 devices such as the Aria.

[HTC Aria Android Development] bedimon:
Is it just the HTC Aria (S31HT, by Emobile in Japan, running 2.2) that has a write protection on the system folder, or is this the issue with all HTC Aria models running 2.2?

Several Japanese pages contain comments that due to this fact this specific model might never be rootable.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
It woiuld seem that any HTC Aria/Gratia that is shipped with 2.2 (or more specifically HBOOT 1.0) is not rootable at this point.

Yes the hboot is what is holding you up. The hole they used to root the older hboots has been plugged. So you are just going to have to wait.

hi, my friend wants to root his aria but he's got the same NAND unlock problem..

his aria came with 2.1 and he then got the official upgrade to 2.2.

this thread suggests that the hboot is the problem but surely an upgrade to 2.2 wouldnt change the hboot?

pls help :)

EDIT: he seems to have hboot 1.02.000 which means that he won't be able to root?

yes the official upgrade to 2.2 WILL change the hboot ;) so no, he cannot root.

Hi.

I was looking for a widget that displays your bookmarks as thumbnails right on the screen. Found two - Live Bookmarks and Visual Bookmarks.

The first does it's job alright - it updates bookmarks as I change them, though it doesn't display them right on screen - first you have to click on the icon.

The second, however it looks just as it shuold, does a crappy job when it comes to settings. It doesn't refresh my b-marks properly, and settings doesn't really work the way I set them to be.

Do you happen to know any other app that might do the job I need done?

Or maybe you could make one? :)

I originally thought it was just an Android thing; A minor inconvenience that I could get used too. After helping my brother flash his Droid X and seeing how fast it completes it's scan I have to ask, what makes our phones slower?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whirly:
the problem is with the file system that samsung used for our phones, you need to install a kernel where it converts it from the rfs system they used to an optimized ext 4, most of the roms come with this feature or you could just use supercrucio's kernel (Voodoo) which works best for me

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Media scan is still horrid even under custom ROMs.

Admittedly I thought it was due to the large amount of data on the slow external SDCard I have (16gig).

I want to find something where I can just disable it and run it manually whenever I want it to update.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Found an app called Rescan Media and tried it for giggles.

"Disabled" using the application - and I have to say my phone rebooted seemingly much faster - Widgets loaded and ready to use faster then I've ever had to wait before.

The media scanner will still load on boot - but doesn't re-scan your entire cards during the bootup process. And if you hit the app it will cause the Media scanner to read your cards which doesn't take very long at all since your phone is already up and booted.

Have to use it for awhile and see if it screws anything up - but I think this app is a keeper!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootnik:
See the post above yours. I tried that solution a couple weeks ago and didn't really like it, but others seemed to. (edit: just saw your previous post)

It probably wouldn't be such a nuisance if it wasn't the first freaking thing it did after reboot. Media scanning should run after other startup items... like obtaining signal, loading widgets, launcher, etc.

Or even better, have it run only when you launch the music player or gallery. I'm not sure why we would need it any other time. Or even betterest, let us set up specific folders for media so we don't need the scanner at all.
