[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
No, I haven't heard of anything like that :(...

As I understand it, the APX mode is something that is built into the Tegra chip (hardware) itself, so, it seems like to me, it should at the least, go into APX mode when you power on the Gtab with power + Vol- pressed.

It's possible that you could have problems doing the nvflash after that, e.g., bad bootloader.bin, etc., but it's really strange that it won't even go into APX mode itself, so I'm stumped at this point, and don't know what else to do.

I don't remember, did you try letting the battery drain completely, like for some long period of time, or maybe open it up and find the reset button and press that?

I'll post back if I think of something else, but I don't know what else to suggest. Maybe someone else can, but I'm stumped at this point.

Sorry :(...

Jim
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
P.S. On another thread/problem, roebeet suggested that maybe the volume button was stuck. Is that possible in your case?

It seems probably not, since you see the birds, then a black screen with the backlight on (is that right)?

Jim
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
P.P.S. I forget: Have you tried powering on the device with the power + Vol+ pressed (not Vol-)?

What happens exactly when you do that?

Jim
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haltol:
1. No reaction

2. button - no problem
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Another suggestion, going on my Adam experience -- if you can get lsusb working, you can try different key combinations to see how each reacts. On the "real" Adam nvflash, the volume keys are switched so APX mode becomes power plus volume up. And since the Adam bootloader has a blank boot image, it's hard to tell what mode you're in (hence the lsusb trick).

It's possible that APX mode is some other key combination and you just have to figure out which one it is. You have several buttons that you can test out.

Remember, 7820 is what you want in "lsusb". 7100 is normal mode and I think 7000 is fastboot, if memory serves.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haltol:
I tried many combinations of button presses. I even opened the pill and tried to combine with button on the motherboard K2.

Also on the motherboard has room for one more button, K1, but most do not have buttons.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haltol:
What news?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haltol:
Who knows about the internal buttons?

K2 button - reboot

K1 button - for what?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SgtJake:
So, what is APX mode anyway?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
I wasn't aware that there were two buttons (I know about the reboot button in the middle of the board), but not sure about the second one.

If you can't find the combination for 7820, then I'm not sure what to suggest at this point - without APX mode, there's no way to fix the device.

Can you confirm one thing -- is this a UPC300-2.2? I'm wondering if we're going about this the wrong way. I know of at least one user here who got a UPC320(?) when they ordered their GTAB, and that's a different piece of hardware.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haltol:
Thank's

Sorry I do not understand that this is 7820 and UPC300-2.2. Here are photos of my device zPad

Red color k1
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Ah, that's button doesn't actually exist though.

As for APX, I'm still in the dark here. If you can't get it to 7820, then we're effectively stuck. It's a zPad, but if it's a UPC300-2.2 then it's essentially the same hardware as a GTAB.

i,m winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haltol:
I'm unbricked

And so this instruction is applied in extreme cases, when you have a brick and not any other

method can not get APX mode.

The tablet should be charged.

1. Disassemble the tablet. Four rubber stoppers on the edges to pull out. Next, unscrew the screws under them. Open the tablet she holds snap-on around the perimeter.

2. Disconnect the battery for 10 seconds and connect back.

3. Connect the device via USB.

4. Close contacts and hold closed (yellow on the photo).

5. Press the power button for 2-3 seconds and release.

6. Open the item 4.

7. The computer sees the new device and it means we WON !!!!!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcgabriel:
Wow, great find! It really does look like the G Tablet is unbrickable after all.

Would be nice if they'd put in a "Force APX Mode" or "Force Reset" button connected to those contacts that were slightly easier to access. :)

lsusb showing 0955:7100

I have been reading every post I can over the last several days and I am stuck.

If I try to power on normally I only get the "BitTrix proudly presents..."

If I hold power & Vol + I can get into CM. There are no back ups, I cannot get to my usb stick, or ext SD.

If I hold Power & Vol - I can see the screen power on while being blank but immediately powers back off.

On my Linux machine when I run lsusb I am getting 0955:7100 NVidia Corp

When I try the NVflash anyway here are my results:

[weilaj@dit00mlt034086 nvflash_gtablet]$ ./nvflash_gtablet.sh

Flashing G Tablet with base images...

./nvflash: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.8' not found (required by ./nvflash)

Done!

I am looking for any help before I open my Gtab up
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powercrazy:
From my limited knowledge, when you are in clockwork you are not going to be able to see your external USB or the SD card in the slot - you can only flash from a zip/rom you have placed on the internal SD card. I'd suggest that while you are in clockwork that you try to format your internal SD memory - I can't remember the exact steps but they are listed elsewhere in these forums. Once formatted, reboot and see what happens? You might then be able to mount the device as a USB drive on your computer and copy a new rom onto your internal SD...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmdearras:
You need GLIBC_2.8. Are you using a 64 bit linux? If so, try -

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6

to get the 32bit version

Jim
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a2drew:
Yes I am on 64-bit CentOS
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a2drew:
command not found. What is GLBC?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powercrazy:
What is glibc:

http://linux.about.com/cs/linux101/g/glibc.htm

Installing glibc on centos:

rpm -q centos-release glibc

google is a wonderful tool :p
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcgabriel:
You don't even need to use NVFlash let alone open up your G Tablet.

If you can get to Clockwork, all you need to do is use the "Mount USB" option under Mounts and copy a ZIP to flash to the G Tablet. Flash the new ZIP, wipe data, and you should be good to go.

If you are having trouble copying stuff to the internal SD card because your internal SD card is screwed up, use the "Repartition" option to fix it (partition as 2048/0). Then proceed as above.

And if you do really need to get nvflash working, use RPM to get the right GLIBC as suggested above. :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmdearras:
Sorry, my command was for Debian/Ubuntu.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a2drew:
I followed that command but it was looking for glibc 2.8 and apparently I have 2.6. I found a directory and downloaded 2.8 and uncompressed it. My machine apparently does not recongize where the files are though. Here is what I am getting:

[weilaj@dit00mlt034086 nvflash_gtablet]$ ./nvflash_gtablet.sh

Flashing G Tablet with base images...

./nvflash: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.8' not found (required by ./nvflash)

Done!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powercrazy:
Before you go down that route, did you try what rcgabriel asked? I've quoted him above, he's right, you should be able to mount the internal SD using the mount under clockwork.... Try that first before messing with glibc
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a2drew:
When I go to mount USB, I get this message:

USB Mass Storage device

Leaving this menu unmount

your SD card from your PC.

-Unmount

How do I transfer files from within CM? I also repartitioned to 2048/0 (which I have done several times now) and it did not imapct anythign.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcgabriel:
Do you have your USB cable connected to your PC? You should see the G Tablet show up just like you would a USB key drive or other USB storage device. I don't know how CentOS handles that. In Ubuntu, Windows or Mac OS, you'd see a drive icon appear on your desktop - that should allow you to copy files to and from the internal SD card area. If this doesn't work, it's almost certainly something with your Linux setup on your desktop.

Basically the Clockwork Mod Mount as USB option should work just like Mount as USB from within Vegan ROM or TNT Lite.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
It's kind of weird. I would've thought that the Vol- was the same as using the internal contacts? Maybe some the circuitry in the vol- path is bad?

Jim
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
On Centos, which is redhat-based, you'd use 'yum' instead of 'apt-get', to download/install stuff.

On step 4 what do you use to "close" the connection?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haltol:
4. connection and Hold.

6. Disconnect the contact that was are connected in point 4.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkuzminov:
Judging by the picture there should be a button. and what specific actions occur when you reset? this case does not restore the bootloader?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a2drew:
But what object are you using to close The contact? Your finger?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haltol:
"No, I used your finger."

I used conductive tweezers.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzzzard:
If you have managed to find yourself in a situation where APX will not work due to a mangled bootloader, and your battery is dead as well, you can follow the instructions in this guide.

So here are the steps needed to get to a charging state:

1. Disassemble the tablet. Remove the four rubber stoppers on the bottom of the tablet (put them aside). Next, unscrew the screws under them (keep those too). Next we need to get the back half of the tablet off. Put the tablet face down on a piece of paper or another protective material. Gently work one corner of the tablet until the two halves are slightly separated, then use something thin like a business card to keep them slightly parted. You can then use something thin and strong, like a plastic gift card to zip around the edges and break the seal. Prying will only damage your plastics.

2. Disconnect the battery lead (a flat connector with multicolored wires, probably held down with tape. Look near the battery.)

3. Connect the device via USB.

4. Short (connect) the four contacts circled in the photo. (A smallish square of tinfoil works well for this. Be careful.)

5. Press the power button for 2-3 seconds and release.

6. Disconnect the tinfoil shorting tool.

7. The APX device should be detected on your computer.

8. NVFlash a working bootloader.

9. Disconnect the AC adapter.

10. Reconnect your battery.

11. Reconnect the power until your device is charged.

Thanks everyone!

Good information. But, you refer to a picture that isn't in the post. I presume that you're referring to the pictures included earlier, but a person who didn't read the whole thread wouldn't know that. Maybe edit and include that picture directly in? And I would say this is sticky worthy. :D

This method unbrick my Zpad :p:p:p

Still to solve the wifi trouble :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvodan:
Bricked to the point of USB unrecognised

I skipped shorting contacts.

I disconnected the battery in mind for a minute before powering on and the computer saw it.

Prior to that my unix machine was not seeing it as a usb dev and windows report no devid or manid. It was as if the usb routines had crashed.

Mine is a different revision Has 3G and a heap of shielding over most of the circuit board, with vertical ground rails to seperate segments on the circuit board (memory CPU and GPU).

Also no switch just two pads on the ciruit board for them.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gyaq:
Had this worked for anyone? I tried it but am still stuck in APX boot only...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvodan:
Very much so.

From no life showing as failed usb device under windows.

After disconnecting the battery for 30secs it booted up into a state designed for flashing.

I installed the Windows 7 drivers that came with the 1202 firmware. Flashed it by running the download batch file for the un extracted rar.

Very happy with Stock Rom1202, and extremly relieved to have unbricked it.

I managed to brick my G-Tab from even being able to boot into APX mode, pulling the battery was the only thing to get APX mode back in order for me to nvflash and flash a new ROM. I highly recommend a plastic card(credit/debit card style) for sliding along the edges to help break the seals along the edges.

If u can wait just let it die completely, plug in the USB connection then hold the apx buttons as u plug in the power cord. On a windows machine, ilu should hear a ding. Run nvflash. Helps if u don't wanna open the tablet.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wroark:
I would be very interested if anybody has come up with a variation on this method that works.

I have followed it precisely and still can not get into APX mode.

I wasn't in the process of flashing when the tab stopped working.

I wasn't even using it at the time.

It was idle and when I tried to use it, it acted like it was off.

since then the only indication of life has been the charging/discharging LED.

I know the battery has voltage and the charger works.

Outside of that, no combination of key presses and no variation on this hardware method seems to spur a response from the tab.

[XPERIA X10 General] totalz:
greeting mates :)

Just bought my x10 yesterday, left it charging for the night. And when I tried to install z4root this morning, I found out there's no Android Market, no app installer, WTH! I thought they may be "hiding" somewhere! My friend kept swearing Market had to be there, and I had to take photos on the app screens to shut him up! Anyway, I get the install done through Android SDK!

My current phone soft-spec:

fw:2.1-update1

baseband ver: 2.0.46

kernel ver: 2.6.29

build#: 2.0.A.0.504

I'm wondering which rom I should update 1st. First I saw K10, which requires 2.0.2.A.0.24, so I looked at the generic rooted 2.0.2.A.0.24, and then I found the dual-touch stock 2.0.2.A.0.24. Would be great if I can find a generic rooted 2.0.2.A.0.24 with dual-touch! A bit overwhelmed atm, any suggestions/directions would be nice! Should I worry about the baseband?
[XPERIA X10 General] Buddha:
install Dual-Touch 2.0.2.A.0.24

If I flash the 2.0.2.A.0.24_for_X10-flasher SIN files, can I then use xrecovery to install those 2.0.2.A.0.24 customized roms straight from 2.0.A.0.504?

edit: I ran the SAM4.0 and did a software update, now I'm @ 2.0.2.A.0.24, guess I would have to use the good old root method!

Is there a possible way to recieve text faster. There seems to be a delay between messages. Like possibly poll tower alot quicker?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mqutub15:
I wish. I have the same problem. However, there is a way you can manually do it. If you are in a texting war with someone and your going back and forth, however, you know the text is going to be delayed because Sprint's network, you can make a quick call to any mobile or anything just so your phone connects to the tower and you will receive your text message instantly. I've tried it several times and it works.

I have the same problem that your talking about and a lot of people experience it on Sprint. Longest I've had a delayed receipt of a text message was 31 minutes precisely.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsjc741:
You could always set the priority to high, that might make a difference.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
You can defintily change some settings and have your phone poll the towers quicker, but its only a matter of a few seconds quicker. If you search for EPST there is a thread somewhere that describes the option to change, i think you may search the battery threads also as this was being used to actually poll the towers less frequently to conserve battery when the Evo first came out. Of course polling more often will decrease your battery life .... by how much exactly would depend on your other usage etc.
[Nexus S General] MO3iusONE:
Does anyone thing this is the route that Google will takes? I mean, people complain about the build quality of the Nexus S being all plastic but, I mean it makes sense. Maybe google was like "We dont want to make a Nexus Two, lets make a Nexus with a different theme, different company" hence why the picked Samsung. Or maybe they just wanted something that would be cheap to mass produce and easy to sell. It would be cool to see a Nexus X a year from now, using the same build material as the Droid X, you know, that soft rubber paint stuff they use on their phones along with some physical buttons, I'm just saying, maybe Google is pimping out their Nexus to whoever can cough up enough dough.. just sayin' lol.
[Nexus S General] fosdos4790:
I would hope the nexus line is reserved for the best there is to offer on the market. When the n1 came out it had top tier stuff like the 1ghz snapdragon processor in it. Fast forward to the ns and you have the hummingbird processor and the samoled screen. Personally it doesn't get better than that at this point. The way I see it is I don't care who makes the phone as long as it has the top notch hardware available to go along with those immediate Google updates.

I'm a nexus s and I approve this message
[Nexus S General] patrixl:
I keep wondering about that, since the Nexus One update isn't so immediate, are the Nexus S updates NOT going to be immediate in the same way, when the Nexus (next) will be released? That would suck if Google did it again.
[Nexus S General] Androyed:
This update-delay for a Nexus (in this case the Nexus One) will just be once: at the time another Nexus is released. After then, they will get the updates at the same time (more or less). Why do I think this? The Nexus S isn't even released yet in a lot of countries, and since it is the 'first device with Gingerbread', it would be strange if the Nexus One had Gingerbread 3 months before the Nexus S in most countries. Also, I think they released Gingerbread on the Nexus S, before it was ready for other devices. I hope I can explain this to you with my bad english: If you buy a Nexus the day it comes out, you don't get the latest software; you get the software before it is even out. The updates that will be released after that, will come to your Nexus at the time it is released, not before.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to say :)
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
I do. And I think it makes perfect sense
