[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNamePapa:
may as well be a brick - in my gut...

Every attempt at customization seems to be a step backwards.

Late nights have been spent over the last week trying to get things back to "normal" and I've had little success. Actually, make that "no success"...

At current, I've been looking ALL DAY (at work) and the last 4 hours at the NVFlash process.

I've got:

USB drivers installed for Windows

Bekit's 1105 files in place (gtablet + windows files)

I can boot to apx with volume.minus and power

PC sees tablet

I can run NVFlash w/o issue

gtablet boots immediately to stock ROM

I power off the gtablet and all I get is APX MODE again.

And again.

I have tried re-running NVFLASH with Roebeet's updated (4/17) files - same thing

I have tried renaming recovery.img from clockwork as "part9.img" and re-running, no success.

I have tweaked the gtablet.cfg and actually adjusted the SIZE for partition 9 to match the clockwork version of what I've named "part9.img" and no luck.

I ran the Format.zip version of nvflash, then ran regular nvflash, no luck.

Every time I run bekit's NVFlash, it loads stock ROM a-ok. Power cycle brings APX mode... I can't get Clockwork to install via the "nvflash switcheroo" nor by dropping "update.zip" and the recovery folder + command file in the root directory.

I feel foolish for spending about $300 on a device like this, and I feel foolish for spending SO MANY LATE NIGHT HOURS trying to fix it, and now I'm essentially going to only be able to use it unless - unless! - someone can come up with something else for me to try.... or if I "boot with NVFlash and hope it doesn't fall asleep on me..."

Any ideas?

Trust me, I've read every thread, seen the same "oh this worked...!" over and over on steps I've tried 3x or more. I think I'm depressed as this is ALL I DID TODAY - research on how to fix my gadget. sigh.

EDIT:

Just thinking here... (scary!) Has anyone ever sideloaded ROM Manager into the stock 3588 ROM? What I'm thinking is that if I can get ROM Manager to install, it loads CWM simultaneously, correct? And from ROM Manager I can reboot into recovery, yes? I would have tried this last night but I didn't come up w/ the idea until past 1:30am.

Also, let me take a step back and explain how I got here:

Installed Cyanogen 7 stable

installed a different keyboard

next day I got keyboard force-closes incessantly

tried to reflash CM7 - boot looped.

I could flash to the stock 3588 ROM w/o issues, and could use Clockwork w/o issues

tried to flash CM7 again, no dice

I suppose what i should have done at this point is re-partition and THEN try to reinstall CM7 - but I was having an issue w/ clockwork not completing the Factory Wipe / Reset - it would get stuck...

so I decided to bring the hammer w/ NVFlash - and I've certainly accomplished that :rolleyes:

I can't get clockwork to install despite all I've tried:

paste recovery.img into my NVFLASH folder

change part9.img to recovery.img in the gtablet.cfg file

put clockwork's update.zip in the root folder

put clockwork's update.zip (and change "command" file to SDCARD2

I guess - how do I know if I'm still rooted? When I (nvflash and boot into) the stock ROM, I can connect via usb and navigate the folder structure. I see .android-secure and "data" and other typical folders that I've seen for weeks now...

so tired...
