I just flashed Calkulin's ROM but when I reboot, I keep getting stuck at the "gtablet" screen.
I followed these exact directions except I did a wipe before and after flashing.

Any help?
Had a similar problem myself. The way i fixed it is by replacing "part 9" with the recovery image from clockwork and renaming it part 9 (then you reflash again). What this does it install clockwork on your tablet again. Once you get back into clockwork you need to partition your SD card to 2mb/0 swap. Once that finishes you should be able to reboot fully.
thanks

I had successfully managed to flash clockwork mod recovery using recovery flasher v1.3 and installed the zOMG ROM from here when I noticed that for some reason the home button was no longer working. I booted into recovery and did a data/factory reset, then tried to reapply the rom. (It was working well enough before the home button stopped working.) The problem is I never restarted back in Android. Every reboot of the clockwork mod recovery loops me back to recovery!
I have tried using my nandroid backup to restore things, and formatting the sdcard and copying files back on using the mount USB option (thinking maybe I had a corrupted copy) but still to no avail.
I'm wondering if the source of my problems is indeed the sdcard itself, since before I did the reboot into recovery I formatted the sdcard and copied the rom over to it. This removed the two files related to the kernal or recovery that were there before. Could this be why I am bootlooping?
Seriously, I need help here! I need my phone to work and cannot afford to replace it at this time.
Can anyone tell me what to do to fix this situation? Thanks!

Solved.
I was able to flash a different recovery from the command line using recovery flasher v1.3 and that allowed me to boot my phone directly into Android again. Then a few seconds later I was able to install RodimusROM and that seems to be working without issues. So I guess the biggest take away from this for me seems to be not to panic.

Can you help me out?
I S-OFFd my device and installed CyanogenMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 using the instructions from revolutionary.io. I installed the ClockworkMod ROM manager.
I don't know what i tried later, I did put PB99IMG.zip file in my SD card and i rebooted my device ---> went into the ClockworkMod recovery ---> used install from SD card option and selected the file PB99IMG.zip.
Before this ever happened when i put the zip file in my sd card and when i rebooted the phone is asked me this
Parsing..... [SD ZIP]
[1]...Bootlader
<Vol Up> Yes
<Vol Down> No
I selected Yes and it said updated. Then again i went to ClockworkMod recovery and used the install from SD card option and selected the zip file.
NOW WHENEVER I START MY PHONE ITS GOING INTO CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY, BUT NOT INTO ANDROID OS.
What should I do now??
Can you please tell me if i can solve the problem using recovery flasher v1.3??? and how could i do it???
I read and read - did not see an answer to my question - if so I did not understand.
I have ran the NvFlash and it appeared to go okay - but now my Gpad does is rotate back and forth between the Viewsonic and Gtablet screen.
I am stuck on what to do next.
Thanks very much for your help!
Same exact thing happened to me Friday night. I fixed it by partitioning to 2048 0 using CWM via NVFlash.
How do you do that?
Sorry to be so thick!!!!
I found the downloads for cwm - how do you access that with NvFlash?
You can flash the stock recovery images and swap in teh part9.img with the CWM recovery file taken from the cwm zip.
Basically, you need to extract the CWM recovery zip and get the recovery.img file. You rename this to part9.img and replace the part9.img file in the nvflash_stock 1105 directory wherever you have it.
Alternativly, you can put CWM recovery on the microsd card, the instructions are in the CWM recovery thread.
Finally, I had issues failing to boot when I was using a different nvflash.exe. You should use the 140KB nvflash file for the process outlined int eh stock recovery thread.
CWM and nvflash are 2 different things. Install cwm and repartition as suggested.

Here's a step-by-step tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030042
Once you're into CWM just go to advanced and then partition to change to 2048 & 0.
Btw, since you're going to be changing two files in your NVFlash folder (part9.img & nvflash_gtablet.bat) you may want to copy them somewhere else on your pc so you can put them back after you're done.
I did manage to get it to boot and download the 3588 update but when it reboots and tries to apply the update it fails.
Any ideas?

One way is to get the 3588 zip from the forum here & download it to the root of the G Tablet. Rename it to update.zip & install with CWM. I'd also wide data/factory reset & wipe cache partition too.
I have installed CWM now with no problem.
The Gpad boots to Viewsonic Tap UI version1.0-2638
It then informs me that there is an update to 3588
It proceeds to download the update - asks me to accept and apply the update
States it will shutdown to apply this update - it does, reboots - and after a few seconds a triangle with an exclimation mark along side the little Android man pops up and will do nothing else.
I, also, downloaded the 3588.zip file as suggested in the previous reply and got the same result.
I wiped the cache and did the data factory reset as well.
Any ideas to where I can go from here as all of this is new to me?
Hi everyone - got it fixed.
I appreciate everyones help.
I am one of the lucky ones who got their tablet from woot/amazon for $280.
I got it in yesterday and absolutely hated the Tap Tap interface.
Naturally, I wanted to install a new ROM. I could only get the TnT Lite to install, but still not what I wanted. I tried Vegan and G-Harmony and I got the dreaded 3 bird screen. I downloaded and successfully installed 3588 and rebooted it. I noticed the ClockworkMod is no longer on there, which is no problem.
I followed the directions to install Clockwork and ROMS from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
I, for some reason, decided to install Vegan again w/o clockwork installed.
I mounted the internal memory card, copied he ROM over as update.zip with the Recovery folder and the command file set to install from SDCARD. A reboot later and now I am stuck at the 3 birds...
I was able to do the Power +Vol and get the "Recovery key detected" message and it seems to load something, hitting the home button gives me the verbose which indicated that it was trying to install something off SDCARD2.
I have tried 3588, clockworkmod and Vegan as update zip on the external SD card with the Recovery folder command file pointing to SDCARD2.
When booting into Recovery, the verbose says: "FORMATTING MISC... REBOOTING..." takes about 4 seconds to complete, reboots and back to the 3 birds screen.
So, how do I [email protected]#$ myself here?
UPDATE!
I got my tablet to boot into CWM!! I ended up putting the MicroSD version of CWM and held down the Power +Vol longer that normal, saw the Android text and it installed the update.zip.
I tried in vain to boot into CWM, but it would re-install the update.zip. *Head smack* took out the SD card and now it boots into CWM!
Now, to try to install a ROM w/o those damn 3 bird screen...
Bootlogo not part of a ROM
You can replace the birds logo, but it is not part of a ROM. Search for replace boot logo, but make sure you know the correct partition to push your custom logo too. Read the entire thread when you find it first. There are tools out there that will let you back up your partitions, I highly recommend doing that first. Search for backup bct and look for PooR's thread and tools.

The boot logo is not my issue, it's just that it does not go past it no matter what non-TnT ROM I try to install.
I just want to install anything other than the factory OS or a modified factory OS (no disrespect to the dev who made TnT Lite).
I started another thread on my troubles getting a new ROM on there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13113438
Hey guys,
I have a 16gb Nook Tablet that I rooted using Albert's bootable zip. I installed CWM via the recovery flasher included in the root pack and then proceeded to install a rom. When I went to boot in to CWM using just the sytem itself, the screen stays on the white screen with the box and it jumps around(looks like top of box is broken but it isn't). I have a bootable recovery sd that allows me to go in to CWM but i am getting E: can't open /cache/recovery/last.log
I've tried reinstalling the ROM and it gets to the boot screen and then starts jumping too.
Has anyone had success with fixing this issue?
That sounds like very strange behavior, it sounds like you might have an issue with CWM on the device itself. In fact, after you apply the root and everything you shouldn't need to be back in CWM again unless something goes wrong.
Can you boot the tablet into the normal OS, or does it only try and go to CWM?
It only goes in to CWM. I should be able to use fastboot from CWM right?
I don't know to be honest. If you can't boot into anything else, I'd go back tot he start. I know there is a thread around here that you can actually use CWM to restore back to 1.4.2 stock, then you can re-root from there.
I think I may have it, but I'd have to look.

Here bro. This should bring you back to full 1.4.2.
Recently decided to try and switch over to CM10, and have been having an issue with recovery. Both of the latest CWM and TWRP recoveries freeze for me after booting into them. The only recovery that works for me is the one that is flashed with the old app by Indirect but that flashes a really old CWM recovery. The recoveries that I have tried flashing are the ones linked to in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217 thread. Both http://celticstorage.co.uk/cm10/CWM_v6.0.1.5_emmc.zip and http://celticstorage.co.uk/cm10/TWRP_v2.3.1.1_emmc.zip are doing it. I have a 16GB that ive kept (rooted) stock forever.
What happens is i go to boot to recovery, go through cyanoboot to recovery, and then CWM freezes up and blackscreens after I try to wipe something or install a zip, TWRP just locks up immediately and gives me a black screen. Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
Use this thread to install CWM, I'm not a fan of TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25786947 I used this and had no problems updating

This has been happening to me occasionally. I have found that when I get the black screen, pressing the Power button launches Recovery (CWM in my case). See if that works for you.
I now have the exact same problem. I've always ran off emmc. It says cwm 6.0.1.5 is installed. When I try to either wipe, or install zip-from-sd, cwm freezes then goes to the black screen. I cannot install any zips, so right now the tablet has nothing installed only a freezing cwm recovery it seems. I can use the power button to get out of the black screen and into cwm thru cyanoboot all day, but get nothing but these same steps reoccurring. Freeze, then black sod. I'm ready to try anything but cannot flash anything.
To the rescue
Ok, I have posted this on a different day. Try this with a blank sd card. Look at the bottom post called "Here is a video"
It a external boot cwm v.5 but you can copy this into your sd then flash and you have cwm v6.0.1.5 internal. Either way you have two ways to do recovery (external and internal):victory:

Well, I think I need to clarify more. Maybe somebody can help if I give more info. I've had cm7 running perfect, then decided to install cm10. I first flashed a cwm 6.0.1.5 zip to emmc. I did a factory reset via this recovery thinking my next move would be to flash the cm10 zip I'd put on the sd. No joy. This is where I'm at now.
In recovery it freezes and reboots to the "2 androids" screen with a sod. I hold power for 20 sec.s to turn off, then turn back on and get to cyanoboot fine. There, if it's allowed to just boot it freezes at the 2 androids. If I hold "n" to get the menu and recovery (6.0.1.5) it looks normal, will boot to recovery OK until anything is selected like the cm10 zip. It freezes before any selections can be finalized, and boots to that sod screen.
I know nothing of ubuntu! Sorta scared to go there with my limited knowledge. But will read up if it's required. Is it possible that this new recovery image don't play with what is currently on the sd? Is there anything I can put there that it may recognize in order to get a flash? Man, I'm lost!
Look pass the fear and go one step at a time, before you know it, your there.
It looks like you have already resolved this from this thread.
Ok, basically I'll go step by step.
1. Download ubuntu iso from ubuntu website (you can donate or put 0$ then download iso) and burn it to cd. 5 minutes
2. Stick the cd into a system that you don't plan to look at the video that is showing you the process and boot it up from a reboot and not from within windows. Select the left square which basically load the ubunbu from cd but does not install anything to your hard drive.3 minutes
3. You can view the whole video but I would skip to the section in video (3:28 watch to 4:43, 6:56 watch to 8:06 ) where I mentioned the setting the two flags in your sd after quick format fat32 and extracting the four files into your sd within ms windows platform from the post . I did this with a normal mini sd card adapter and not the usb stick adapter he used in the video. Since you are doing this to a blank mini sd then there really nothing to worry about since it is blank in the first place. 2 minute
4. If you had your apps backup with titanium backup then it still will be on the main mini sd and not the one that working with for this recovery.
5. I notice you did not mention wipe dalvik cache from your post. You should always wipe dalvik then wipe factory then do a single flash to test boot up.. You can flash gapps after a successful boot up into jellybean. (here's a video showing that I'm using external cwm v.5 even though its recommended to use v.6 .) You can always use cwm v.6 on your next cm10 test rom or use cwm v.6 to reflash to same rom once a successful boot up have been obtained with external cwm v.5. This purpose is to get it running on your nt.
6. Be patient for the first boot. Should not be more than 5 minutes max. It will look black then load. If it boot loops then wipe dalvik then wipe factory and do a single flash to test boot up again.
This will at least get cm 10 flavored rom on to your nt.

Got it back! Thank you for your help & patience. Also for the timely responses. I now have a bootable "recovery sd card" for curing these type problems. I've labeled it & filed away for any future borks of this kind! And I have cm10 up & running stable.
Thank you!
