I manually updated my Gtab to 3588 ( I have clockwork and 3899 and it would not let me update with clockwork) .
I now have 3588 installed BUT when I hold the Volume+ and Power it does not go into stock recovery. It shows the green box with the arrow for 2 seconds like itsa insalling something and then just boots up. Am I missing the recovery option now and how will this affect me going forard. Will I not be able to have updates or do a factory reset ????
Can someone please advise.
confused to what you are trying to accomplish here. Are you trying to install CWM? Never heard of 3899 update? If you can, give a little more of a description what you have done so far.

That is stock recovery for 3588. There is no menu.
K J RAD . Thank you. I could swear I had a menu when i did that before I installed Clockwork. there were options to install and wipe the system I think. but Maybe I am not remembering it correctly . Again thank you
Sorry that was a typo I meant 3399 . I thought when I previously held down Volume and Power I got a menu in Standard recovery. Post belows states that there is no menu so I guess I was incorrect and thanks for the response. Much appreciated.

With the newer updates by Viewsonic, which have been pulled btw, they had a basic recovery menu
Ahhh , ok . I wasnt craxy. I originally had the new update and used the newer recovery to load CWM and knew I saw a menu. again thank you all.

Phone wont boot into system recovery any more by holding vol up and power on buttons, so I cant flash a rom. running 2.1. The other day did a hard reset, because it changed to chines in the settings section. Is that some kind of virus? Is back to English now. Is there another work round to install Rom's or fix this?

Does your volume up button work for anything else, in other words can you raise the volume when booted up?
You can use ROM Manager (free on market) to backup, restore, and to flash ROMs, and you can use Quick Boot (also free on market) to reboot directly into recovery. In other words, select Quick Boot, choose Recovery and it'll shut down your Eris and boot into Recovery.
If you decide to use ROM Manager and have questions, feel free to ask here and I'll do the best I can.

Just wanted to make sure that you are aware of the various ways to boot into recovery... Please pardon if this information is repetitious or not new to you.
Of course, there's volume-up and power like you've already tried. There's also volume-down plus power which will take you to the HBOOT screen from which you can select recovery with volume-up. Of course, if you have the Android SDK installed, you can use the "adb reboot recovery" command too.
XDA's bftb0 posted some information over on AF regarding why some phones won't boot into recovery with volume-up plus power:
http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/205697-notes-recovery-booting-1-5-vs-2-1-otas.html

Sounds like you don't have (or no longer have) a custom recovery installed.
Have you tried re-rooting?
I did the root with z4 root. is there a way to instalol a a custom recovery installed or put onr there for it to read?

Well, I don't how z4 root works, but I do know that jcase's 1-click root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228) will install Amon_RA's custom recovery.
There's various ways to get a custom recovery installed, but it depends on the current state and history of your phone.
You might want to first try the 1-click method mentioned above--its probably your easiest and quickest method to at least try.

Hi. I was following this guide here wiki.cyanogenmod.<(SPACE)>com/wiki/Viewsonic_G_Tablet:_Full_Update_Guide
(REMOVE <(SPACE)>)
I chose to install the 'update' to internal memory. Upon rebooting while holding the volume up and power buttons, "booting recovery kernel image" is seen but it doesn't progress beyond that point. After pressing the power button the tablet boots normally. I am stuck at Step 3 of the 2nd Method in the guide I had posted. I read somewhere that ROM Manager softbricks the device or something so I avoided it. How can I finish installing Cyanongen or perhaps switch to vegan? I would appreciate any responses

This means your on bootloader 1.2. Cm7 is made around bl 1.1 so it wont install correctly. You can install a modified version of cm7 that was packaged to run on bl 1.2. There is a thread in development by zyhong that has links to the modified cm7.
Here is the thread

There are 2 options for kernels. The roms on the linked thread come pre packaged with either pershoots or clemsyns 1.2 compatible kernel.

Did you use Revolutionary on the device? Did it acknowledge that it was successful in flashing custom recovery to your device?
The proper way to reach CWM is to turn the device completely off, then hold down the volume down button and press the power button. From that screen you should select "Recovery" by using volume up/down buttons to move and power button to select. Don't use ROM Manager to install or get to Clockworkmod.
i do not have a fast boot option, thanks for replying though.
If you dont see fastboot.... Then you are not rooted. Try the process again.
You should be able to power off the phone, then hold the down volume button while powering on the phone.
Then you should see fastboot and recovery. If you don't see either, then the root process was unsuccessful.

I make these videos because I know how frustrating it is when there is a list of steps to take, but you are so uncertain if you are doing it right. I think people are much more comfortable SEEING someone actually perform the steps. Guides are good, but demonstrations are much better.

Reverend, I just wanted to thank you for all your excellent video How-To's.
I have a question and maybe others can chime in here.
When I originally installed CM9 I never did get a CWM Recovery. I recently updated to latest CM9 Nightly and I installed TWRP.
My question is, can I install CWM Recovery as well and how do I go about it?
I changed from an iPhone 4 in May to the Samsung Note. On my iPhone I would immediately jailbreak and install MyWi. In my research to do the same on the note I ran across a rooting tutorial for my device and followed the instructions http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-att-i717-root-without-increasing-flash-counter-61325/ (I am not positive, but I feel confident this is the one I followed). I installed Superuser and Titanium Backup, did a backup of ATT connection manager, then removed it. Tethering worked like a charm. This has worked and I had no issues until Friday June 14th.
On Friday, everytime I opened an app on my phone I would get a Force Close. I restarted the phone and watched as it repeatedly happened after every cycle. Believing that installing Droid VNC Server was the issue, the last app I had installed, I removed it successfully and included others I didn’t use. Upon reboot, I noticed the notification of App Updates and a missed call. Checked the application list and noticed that all of the apps I had just removed were still there. I have a ton of pics and videos and thought that I should back them up immediately before I deleted them, prepared for the worst. I was able to do that. I deleted them all, nothing in the gallery. When the phone crapped out again and rebooted, all apps and all pictures back.
I formatted the USB Storage, seemed to delete nothing and also showed the same amount of used space as before.
Time for a restore. I know now that the recovery partition is gone and so a Wipe/reset is fruitless. No problem. I know how to flash the rom. I used this method with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
Everything seemed to work successfully, but upon reboot I get the same app updates notification and the same missed call notification. The same frozen state my phone was in when the issue started on Friday. WTH!
I have everything backed up. How do I get back to stock? I could care less about the counter. I just want my phone to be usable again.

did you try wiping Catche and Dav?
Wipe Catch > Wife Davlik > Fix Permision, then reboot ..
see what happens ..
Not a noob, but here is where i am lost
I booted in to recovery, chose to Wipe/Erase . I see no option to Wipe Davlik except for in SuperUser and there it is a paid option, not sure where to find Fix Permission and then reboot?
I am assuming these are all options for CWM. I attempted to put CWM on an SD card last night and install from ZIP, but Recovery does not seem to see the SD card.
Are these options that are available for CWM, if so I will push through until I get it to work, but I have had no luck to this point.

after you are rooted ,
you should have nothing to do with Odin.
and also, if you were stuck on your phone trying to boot up, chances are you keep downloading a bad ROM..
happen to me before..a ROM that was suposed to be 192MB,
would finish on 158MB
someone else may be able to help you get back to stock ROM..i havent had the chance to ever wanna go back to stock so i wouldnt know for sure.

You now have a custom recovery(according to Odin). The problem is, you're doing the wrong key combo as stated above. You can also go to the market and grab FJ's power tool. You can boot into recovery directly from the app. Good luck.

You now have a custom recovery(according to Odin). The problem is, you're doing the wrong key combo as stated above. You can also go to the market and grab FJ's power tool. You can boot into recovery directly from the app. Good luck.

Still having issues. Here is the deal.
I have the phone in Download mode

I load the CWM Recovery in the PDA box. Start the flash, get a pass. All looks good to me.

I immediately attempt to access CWM Recovery by holding the power, vol+ and vol- and still get the default recovery

I am so confused as to what I am doing wrong.
Unfortunately those pics aren't loading for me. Try again with the pic of recovery and the file you're flashing. Thanks. If you still have stock recovery then maybe that's what you're flashing in error.
Try volume up + down and power button. When phone vibrates, release power button but keep holding volume buttons until you are in cwm.
I would use Odin to flash cwm touch recovery from pda, then load a rom via cwm. Using that method you don't even need to root because it's all done at bootloader level and root is built in to the custom rom you flash
