Ouch. That has stopped me in my tracks. It's really bad news.

"Something on mine is preventing the bootloader from booting.....the nvflash sending it over executes it and the tablet runs......"

That's my problem exactly. My wife is going to be very upset. I thought I could keep her gtab updated without bricking it. Oh jeez that's exactly what I've done..........
[G Tablet General] tekrhino:
Suggestion? don't do the update after you nvflash.. let the device boot up normally and put a different ROM zip file on the SD via USB.

Calkulins new ROM is based in TnT is super smooth.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=985705

From there try to reboot into recovery mode with an app like quick boot AniReboot and flash the different rom.

It may be the ROM you're trying to flash is corrupt.
[G Tablet General] GenBlood:
I did the same too. . An didn't read the fine print. After getting the info

on how to fix my bricked gtab. Also, I had to do some Googling on apx

USB drivers for windows 7.

Long story short.. had a few pints. .. got it back to stock and installed tntl 5

The next day.. I'm using it now and I'm happy. Time for another pint.:D
[G Tablet General] gaspra:
I thought I bricked my GTab, after several hours of tweaking I was

able to flash it and run TnT Lite 5.0 now. Here is the procedure I did:

a. nvflash to stock rom. download the usb driver for windows 7 here and install (link from post by syntrix) : http://developer.download.nvidia.com/tegra/files/os/tegra_ventana_froyo_20110207.msi

b. grab the stock rom from the post by roebeet, choose "nvflash_windows_20100500.zip" and ""nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip": http://db.tt/Wm25t7U

c. following roebeet's instruction, put Gtab to APX mode (volume down + power on), run nvflash_gtablet.bat, should flash the rom fine.

d. boot the Gtab after flashing, should be able to run the original stock rom.

e. download the 3588 stock rom from this thread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842000

f. run recovery (volume up + power on) to upgrade to 3588 rom, remember to make a "recovery" folder with "command" (check the prefix and see if is name "sdcard") and rename the downloaded 3588 rom to "update.zip". Put both to the root of the sdcard.

g. now you should have 3588 rom after the recovery

h. download tnt lite 5.0 rom and run a recovery. you will get stuck at a black screen. Just reboot and enter recovery mode again (volume up + power on). do a "wipe data" and reboot. Then you will be able to run TnT lite 5.0. In the recovery mode, the "power" button is "enter", not the "home" button in CWM 0.8. Anyway, just follow the instruction on screen for button layout;).
[G Tablet General] jesusgi:
Thanks. I have actually done those and would do them all but G-Tab will only boot once after flash (step d) after that if I power down, I gotta black screened brick until reflashing original ROM again. It is impossible for me to do step "F" from Gaspra post
[G Tablet General] jesusgi:
and with that I give up. I ordered another G-Tab, and I'm using the old one as a plant stand. Who said this can't be bricked? I managed to do it.
[G Tablet General] Cannibul:
Send it to me. I'll pay shipping.
[G Tablet General] gaspra:
did you try to erase the rom? try this before flashing to the stock rom:

[G Tablet General] DaveyBoy2002:
nah i'm in the same boat....didnt work for me mannnnnnnn i'm choked at my stupid frick up :(
[G Tablet General] DaveyBoy2002:
jesusgi, i just figured mine out...i was doing it all wrong, download

nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip

combine with

nvflash_windows_20100500.zip

and run nvflash.bat

all grabbed from the bekit restore (i cannot post links because i havent posted enough yet, maybe someone else can post the link)

i dont know which i was doing before but in the irc channel they were talking about replacing part9.img...which my nvflash folder didnt have and now it works :D

if you're reading this thank you badfrog from the IRC channel! :)
[G Tablet General] chults:
Nvflash

After I performed Nvflash recovery, it still showed TnT Lite 4.25. I formatted user area and the Force Closes went away. I then performed an update to 3588 using the standard update. Then, finally, an update to TnT Lite 5.0. Works great and the frame rates from 4.25 to 5.0 were 36 to 46. Great job on this ROM! The video has little glitches though. Nothing bad, just three dashes by the home in the top left corner. Might be Launcher Pro. Thanks for spending so much time on this. 10+++
[G Tablet General] crazyskills:
Worked perfectly

Downloaded and Installed update 3588 using Clockworkmod08, placed update 5.00 in the root directory of the internal SDCard, restart, press power and vol+ and Voila! got 5.00 installed. It hangs after the second restart, just force restart using recovery, do the user data wipe using the new Viewsonic recovery interface and restart again. Working perfectly here! 5.00 Now! :D
[G Tablet General] edirector:
I ran the Win 7 tegra driver it installed but does not recognize the usb. Tried to install nvflash from sdcard by changing it to sdcard2 no dice and straight to usb from flash drive. My problem is no inputs work. Can you help me with that?
[G Tablet General] edirector:
My system never gets past the detect & recovery key pressed...

Booting recovery kernel image...

No ability to input from sdcard, sdcard2, usb,from laptop or desktop.

I would have felt better downloading that malware from the google market at least I would have a quick remedy. But this after a suppose to be firmware update, unreal. Didn't alter one hair length from the instructions and met the entire criteria.
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
You can use it for "testing" other ROMs etc...

If you can nvflash it and it comes up.......just nvflash bekit's part9.img (clockworkmod recovery) over and boot in recovery. (hold volume + as soon as you hit enter to send the recovery over). Once it boots to recovery, copy over whatever rom you want to install via USB in recovery and then flash it. When it's time to reboot....reboot and then use nvflash to format partition 2 and it "should" send the bootloader over, format partition 2 and then continue with a boot. Setup, configure, etc....then always keep charged. If it powers off, just nvflash format partition 2 again and you'll be right where it was when it powered off.

I do this on my "semi-bricked" gtab, keep it at home on the dock (charging) and have it configured for my wife. She never takes it out of the house so it's fine and every once in a blue moon I have to nvflash format partition 2 for her to get it going again (ie...about once a month it just shuts off). I've applied VEGAn 5.1.1, a kernel and what not doing it this way..
[G Tablet General] gaspra:
ok, try this:

power off gtab

connect the usb to pc

press and hold "volumn down" and press "power button"

(both buttons are pressed)

wait for the "birds" appear and screen should turn off shortly

Now pc should notify you it's installing APK driver for new hardware.

you can also check "device manager" and see if the APK driver is enabled.

If this doesn't work, try a different usb port on pc.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Back to Basics...

I've tried to analyze this thread and don't pretend to retain it all -- but I have a different idea.

I've read about a bunch of different tries to load different ROMS to solve problems.

After reading what's wrong with your tabs, I wonder if the problem is not the file system, etc. as opposed to the ROM. It sounds like the recovery operation/boot operation are not working right.

If it were me, I would go to the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

I would read the instruction here and use nvflash to install clockworkmod.

Then with CSM installed, I would go in and repartition 2048 and 0. I also would clear out the data, caches, etc. to give me a whole new fresh system to work with.

Then I would go to the menu and "Mount" the system so I could hook the G-Tablet up to my PC.

And I would load fresh copies of the "recovery" directory and the 3588 "update.zip" into the sdcard.

And then I would reboot and see if it wouldn't work right.

I don't know if it will work -- but I would hope the CWM and cleanout would reset some things and give you some new options to work with. I'd forget about 5.0.0 and compatibility with it until I had my tablet completely back up and working properly at a lesser level.

IMHO.

This is what I have ended up with. I appreciate everyones help and I have tried all the suggestions that were possible under the circumstances, but this thing is semi bricked ala tcrews. I won't be making the same critical mistake with the next one.(I didn't read the install notes and so I subsequently installed TNT Lite 5 over clockwork mod 08, and screwed the thing up!)

[Atrix 4G General] fincan:
So I wanted to check "locate my phone" feature of moto blur and went to the web site (https://portal-blur.svcmot.com/blur-web-portal), but could not remember my password.

I did a reset password through my laptop and changed it and logged in to the portal. But now that password is changed, phone throws up an error saying my blur password is wrong. I click on the notification to enter the new password, but the damn thing shows me the password change option with old password, and 2x new password instead of just the "enter new password" screen.

How am I going to enter my new password to this stupid blur?
[Atrix 4G General] anupash:
Motoblur and Google asks u to relogin whenever u inset a different sim on the phone....so try putting a different sim (doesnt matter which network) relogin again .... it should work...

Not the best solution but should work..
[Atrix 4G General] Mark Sly:
Remove SIM card and connect via WiFi

Good idea -- that worked...

I was having the same problem.. Changed my Motoblur password (had forgotten the old one) online, then when the Atrix notified me of the password change, I got sent to the wrong screen. Changing the password here required entering the password I'd forgotten.

This procedure works on my wife's Motorola Cliq 2 - takes me to a screen that only asks to enter the new password. But my Atrix doesn't seem to do that. :confused:

I turned off the phone and extracted the SIM card -- I did not have another card handy to install, so I connected to a nearby open WiFi network. Motoblur locked the phone, and when it asked me to log in, I used my account name and the NEW password to log in, and it worked. I got one last notification about the password change, but I cleared it and moved on.

Everything seems to be OK at this point. Not the most elegent solution, but it did work for me (for now, anyway.)
[Atrix 4G General] fincan:
I did the same thing. I had another sim card but it was a European operator card and I certainly did not want to rack roaming data for stupid blur :) So I waited until I went home, removed the sim, booted the phone, entered the new password, inserted old sim, rebooted the phone, re-entered the password yet again.

Deep from my heart I want to say "Idiots!" to people who coded this whole blur thingy at Motorola.

Thanks for the answers both of you by the way : o)
[Atrix 4G General] AlcatrazT2:
Looks like Motorola may be aware of the following issue (and may have attempted to fix it).

Their support site (Answer ID 63006) states: "You will need to type your new password in all three boxes, "Old Password", "New Password", and "Confirm Password".

I tried doing the following multiple times and had no luck. Finally found this thread and did what was suggested and all went well.

Had to turn the phone off/pull the back cover, battery & sim off/turn it on without sim/turn it off/turn it on with sim/re-enter my Motoblur username/password and it worked like a charm.

Since a week, proud owner of the Incredible S.

During this week, I have faced 3 times the same problem that after a (phone) connection has been established, the call was suddenly disconnected (within 30 sec.)

What also happened was that I couldn't make any calls 2 times and had to restart my device. After the restart problem was solved.

Any other users facing the same problems?
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Can't say I've noticed any problems like that, although I did have to swap my phone yesterday cause of a dodgy SDCard slot. I have made quite a few called without issue though

I take it there was no hassle with the swap?
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
No problem at all I walked in, showed hime the phone (there was a gap between the backplate that holds the battery and the PCB) and they swapped it there and then. Really good service.
[HTC Incredible S] Bantu85:
Hacking the phone doesn't mean actually taking a hack saw to it l0st.prophet ;)

Glad to hear it was no problem though... CPW assured me they would replace like for like in case of errors... but i'm not a massive fan of phone shops.. it's always disconcerting when you know more than them!

To the OP... i have had this problem once. The first day i got the phone i called somewhere.. it rang once and then i got cut off. I thought it may be my location. I haven't had this problem since, but will keep a lookout.

I'm on nTelos (regional carrier), and my current radio is 2.42.01.04.23.

Is it safe to flash the Sprint 2.42.02.10.29 radio, or will it screw up my signal, etc?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Hmm, nTelos is a cdma network, I believe, so in theory you should be able to. I've flashed a Verizon radio to my Hero, but went back to my stick one because it works better.

With that said, do so at your own risk. One sure way to brick a Hero is with flashing an incorrect radio.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJinWV:
Yep, it's a CDMA carrier. Sprint uses nTelos's towers here in WV. In fact, I've found sprint settings in the nTelos ROM, for instance in the build.prop file.

Are the radios included in the RUU? I have the stock nTelos RUU, so if it's in there, if all else fails, I can just reinstall the RUU, but I'd obviously rather not.

I get my home screens all set up and when I end up rebooting the phone, all my apps that are moved to SD do not show any icon on the home pages. Any help is appreciated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00dwan:
I know I've read somewhere that homescreen icons disappearing after reboot is inherent to Froyo and TW. However, this only happened to me after installing Bonsai 3.0.1 using the twcrushd launcher. I've been using Bonsai since 1.1.4. The TW launcher in Bonsai 3.0 did not have this behavior.

I didn't hear anyone else talk about this, so I assumed it was just me. I even Odin'd back to stock EB13, re-rooted, and installed Bonsai 3.0.1. Still no change. Other launchers do not seem to have this issue.

So I guess my question is, is this normal behavior using twcrushdlauncher?

Just to make it clear, it's not that I get the default icon placeholders waiting for the SD card. The icons are completely gone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holes45:
Same exact thing for me. Moving back to phone works to get them back but then tried to get them to stay after moving back to sd, no luck. I'm guessing the card may need to be reformatted. I hope I'm wrong.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00dwan:
Save yourself the time. Already tried it. Backed up the SD card, formatted on computer, formatted again in phone. No change. LOL!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holes45:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decalex:
Have you tried another launcher? does this kind of behavior happen in any other app?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00dwan:
No other launchers don't have this issue. I've had serious fc and apps getting screwed up w/ launcherpro in the past. I really liked the twcrushd, but I just tried go launcher ex and I think I've found my new launcher. After 2 days it seems fast, stable, and I like it's features and style.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean Hicks:
hmm

I have noticed this for a while with any froyo rom. The icons do show a generic image on the launcher after boot....but, they do eventually display the proper image and work correctly. Sometimes I have to restart my launcher, but within 2 minutes they fix themselves. It seems to me thats the last task thats completed after booting up. I have never had them disappear for longer than 2 minutes
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holes45:
Launcher pro fixed it for me. Actually, regular twlauncher worked too. Guess it was just twcrushdlauncher. Thanks for the help!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00dwan:
Yeah that was usually the case for me too, but I left it on for hours before realizing they weren't there. Also, when they appeared late, there would usually be a generic android logo placeholder. This was not the case here. I really tried everything as described in the OP.

holes45 --> All the other launchers worked fine for me too. I'm glad you found a replacement you like!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yup, me too. Put TW3 back on and restored data from Titanium and all my homescreens were back to before upgrade.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0nin ar1es:
Took a wrong turn at Albuquerque!?

I don't know when or how, but I deleted TWLauncher from my apps, and like you all my apps keep disappearing and it is ridiculously frustrating! I hate LauncherPro and was wonder if their were any alternatives or a way to d/l TWLauncher from somewhere?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00dwan:
I'm using Go Launcher EX and loving it. Unfortunately I don't have twlauncher anymore either (except in a nandroid backup somewhere) but I'm sure you can find it. You can even take the apk from an older version of bonsai (inside the zip file in system/app).

hmmn.. my x10 mini does not have that kind of problem. by the way, what is your rom version, you could access it on Settings->About, are you using custom rom.

even back then when I was using 1.6 until now 2.1, I dont have any problem with the camera.

or you could install watchdog to see the process culprit.

I had the problem of phone rebooting when using camera...sent phone to service but they just flashed it and sent it back saying it was fixed... apparently it was not. Anyways i found a workaround which seems to work fine for me. Down load automatic task killer from market and install it. Go to settings and in list add Camera app. This will kill the camera application rather than letting it run in background which makes the phone crash when we restart the camera application. The camera works fine when you are using it. The task is killed only when you dont use it. Try this if it works for someone else too.
