Hi, I just brought my G Tablet and I have downloaded "ClockworkMod_Gtab_v08.zip" and copy the "update.zip and "recovery" into my internal SD Root dir.
I boot into recovery mood and ClockworkMod install but after reboot into recovery mood again, the screen freeze in "Booting recovery kernel image" and don't go into ClockworkMod screen (for more then 10 mins and have try rebooting it a few times).
The G Tab can still boot up normally in to TapnTap, everything seem working find and I can connect to my computer using USB cable. But just can't boot into recovery.
I wanted to install new rom, how do I make boot into ClockworkMod screen (recovery)?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks
Take a look at the recovery script and make sure it says sdcard vs sdcard- ext that's the only thing i can think of right now that May do that.

This is the symptom of installing the wrong cwm. You're on the 1.2 branch but you put the cwm for the 1.1 branch. You hosed your recovery. Go to my website and use code red in the "start here" page to recover.
Same thing I happened to me. I bought mine off Woot a few days back and it came with 1.2 bootloader (4349). No matter how many times I tried, I could never get back into recovery. Here are the steps I did to fix that:
1. You need to do nvflash to recover your stock recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950) - I followed all steps in the "Installation" section.
2. After this, you should now have your stock recovery back. You're going to need to downgrade manually to 3588 - Just follow the "POST NVFlash" section on that same page.
3. Once you're done downgrading, should be able to install CWM without issue.
Problem solved!
Thanks goodintentions you save my G Tab, it works!
And now it can boot back into ClockworkMod recovery mode.
Your website is very good and informative. Good job.
Thanks again.
Thanks "goodintentions", You saved me as well
Followed your post and it worked.
Good information...thanks for the help!

nvflash for dummies not working
Bro I connected my gtab to my computer in apx mode and my computer couldn't see it. Went to device manager and apx device was absent. Needless to say connecting my gtab to the computer was as far as I could get. If it helps any, I'm currently running bottle of smoke. Where I screwed my tab up is when I opened up time manager and it had an ota update for the recovery I was using.... Shoulda known better than to select advent vega for the device when it was running on the 1.2 branch recovery. Any tips? I wanna change my time but I need my recovery up n running.

I just got a tablet from the outlet, but it can't boot up. It shows the android logo in small yellow text, then a <!> pops up. Reboots in viewsonic logo, and gets stuck at gtablet logo. I tried holding startup and vol + but that doesn't work. Help please!
EDIT: Thank this guy rcgabriel

The solution is simple -
1) Download clockwork mod recovery (cwmod_internal.zip) from the sticky thread in the Dev forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245). Unzip it, and get the file called recovery.img and put it in the directory you ran nvflash from before.
2) Now go to your nvflash directory. Find the gtablet.cfg file. Edit it - under partition 9 where it says filename, change that to say recovery.img.
Now re-run nvflash - your G Tablet will get flashed with Clockwork Mod now instead of stock recovery. Once it's finished, reboot, and hold down the Vol + key while booting. You should get into Clockwork Mod Recovery now.
From here, I recommend repartitioning (use 2048 and 0 as the two options). Now try booting normally and everything should work fine.
Let me know how it goes!

it's not broken - just flash the latest firmware
Try an nvFlash. Mine was stuck at the Viewsonic logo this pas weekend with the recovery (Vol+ and power) not working either. The nvFlash was very easy to do and fixed my Tab.

Okay, the reason recovery mode is doing that is that's what stock recovery mode does - retarded, but that's it - it just tries to install a file called update.zip in your SD card main area.
As for why the ROM itself won't boot in regular mode - I've had the same problem after nvflashing from bekit's image when my data/sdcard partitions were screwed up.

1) Download clockwork mod recovery (cwmod_internal.zip) from the sticky thread in the Dev forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245). Unzip it, and get the file called recovery.img and put it in the directory you ran nvflash from before.

How do you EDIT the gtablet.cfg file in Windows 7? Thanks
Thanks! And a potential pitfall:
Thanks! I was having the same problem all night last night, and repartitioning fixed it.
I'd like to highlight something I had a problem with: I wasted a couple of hours with the WRONG clockworkmod recovery image. I found a similar response from another user who didn't include a link, and I found the clockwork image for g-tablet pointed to by someone else. If you're still having boot loop problems, use the clockworkmod linked to from this thread (v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8).
Thanks everyone!
Is there a way that a mod can make a Sticky of the "Bricked Solution" fix.
There is no such thing as a bricked Gtablet that I've ever seen. Ive messed mine up a few times now and still works fine no matter how bad it gets.
Same for me, this fixed worked. I was not able to mount /data prior to repartitioning, was able to after. Thus the GTab was able to boot again, I now have a stock GTab, formatted clean, running 3588. Always nice to have a path forward.

Use Notepad
Hey i've done as you suggested however I'm stuck at the entering nvflash recovery node / nv3p server print out on my viewsonic gtab.... I still have the device plugged into my computer and it is registered with the usb bus but it won't reboot into the recovery img. I tried to power it down and reboot with "power and volume up" but I get no response. Any suggestions?
One thing I noticed, when people say they try to use nvflash they are using volume +, that is incorrect. You have to do "volume - (the minus sign) with the power button at the same to get the point to be able to use nvflash. See this a lot places in the forums, no wonder there is problems with people trying to use nvflash.
Thank you so much for this. I started getting an error when trying to mount /data so I did an nvflash without reading into it...turned out to be a huge mistake because that caused bootloops and left me without CWM. Turns out I should have just repartitioned but I couldn't get CWM to install from an SD card even though I knew I need to get it back on. Tried dozens of other things - including the full format with no luck but this finally got me into CWM so I could repartition.
Thanks again.
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
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...
What happens if you do a factory reset immediately after it boots?
@K J Rad - you mean after it boots to the stock ROM, going to settings/security/factory reset (or clear all user data, whatever it says?) - I've tried that twice, and each time it comes back to apx-mode only, and when I nvflash again all my wifi settings are still in place.
if you mean factory wipe / reset from w/in Clockwork - I can't get CW to install.
EDIT - I added more explanation in my earlier post - a "how did I get here" of sorts...
Ok... if you hold down the Volume Up key during the reboot after nvflash does it drop back to APX or enter Recovery? If it goes to recovery... try method I from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030915
Hi,
I just bought my g Tablet and try to root it with VEGAn-Tab.
I followed the instruction on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
While I was trying to install ClockWorkMod v08, copied the recovery and update.zip to the root directory on the internal memory. Reboot by holding the Power and Vol + button. These messages appeared on the top left corner.
Recovery key detected
Booting recovery kernel image
and the screen was frozen.
Do anyone how to resolve this problem?

If your tab is new you are probably on the 1.2 bootloader (b/l) branch. You can check your version in Setting, About. If you are on 1.2 branch & you want to switch to a 1.1 branch Rom you must nvflash to stock 1.1. Go here http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com for step by step instructions.

The link you gave me works!
Thanks a million! You Rock!
I did the same thing from 1.2, used CWM v 08 and got the same frozen screen with the same message when trying to enter CWM. I assume v. 08 was the wrong choice. Could you help me recover and get the proper version of CWM on my bootloader 1.2 (1.2-4349) tablet? thank you! BTW if I simply start up "normally" the tablet works as it did.

I have the same problem (i.e., when booting into CWM I get the "Recovery Key Detected-booting recovery kernel image" but it just freezes.
The difference is, I rooted and flashed to CM7 months ago! All went well and has been fine but now I want to experiment with other ROM's, ...but I am stuck.
I even tried to NVFlash back to the stock ROM but that failed also (I.e., installed the APX driver, etc but when I execute the Gtablet.bat,the "DOS" looking screen pops up, says it is starting nvflash, but nothing happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
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.

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.

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.

Hi, I need help desparately. Have viewsonic gtablet 1.2 with Clemsim Caulkin Froyo installed. Stuck on clockworkmod recovery. Can you provide step by step instructions on a fix.When tablet is turned on 3 birds come up with clockworkmod recovery image in corner then shows clockworkmod recovery.When I click on home to reboot system now three birds come on again, then back to clockworkmod recovery. PLEASE HELP.
This began when I turned on and screen was neon lime green with icon gone and message popped up about VT Launcher and then pops came up with error messages for google, yahoo mail, titanium backup. Not being very computer savvy and afraid I might do more damage, I went into CWM and did restore and the just got stuck in recovery mode. I even tried to restore to factory and the same thing happens as above.
I am so upset; I'm getting sick. Do I have to throw it away now? ANY HELP WOULD BE SO APPRECIATED. Any instuctions will need to be really step by step idiot proof. Thank you.

Thank you for responding but, I really don't fully understand. Do I need to type the code for the adb file on a pc and then transfer to the gtab? I really am not "computer savvy" and need step by step dummy proof instructions. Really appreciate any help you can give
There is no need for adb. Just copy the zip file to the gTab and then install it. It's the same procedure as for installing a ROM: See this post for instructions--and a video!
Keep that zip file on the SD card in case this happens again (You must've selected "Reboot recovery" instead of "Reboot system" in one of the CWM menus).
Hello all. I was successful in rooting my Nook Tablet according to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037368&nocache=1
Unfortunately, when I went to install the CM7 zip, it kept saying, "file not found"
I then read a post about enabling USB Debugging and Unknown Sources. So even though I shouldn't have rebooted, I really didn't have any choice but to reboot and go into settings and enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources.
Now, I can't get back into recovery to install the .zip despite trying every combination I could think of or find by searching and I've literally been searching for hours.... must be using the wrong keywords because I can't find anything about getting back into recovery that works.
I even went to the Playstore and installed ROM Manager and GOO Manager and tried to reboot in recovery. When the Nook Tablet starts, it just shows and picture of a Nook with a red exclamation mark in the middle of it and says, "Please restart and try again..." or something like that.
Any ideas? Thanks for any response
In terminal emulator : "reboot recovery" or powering off and holding home and power buttons for like 5secs
If you tried booting recovery and it came up with nook recovery then you haven't replaced your internal recovery program to cwm. Instead of cm7 I'll suggest using cm10 because its much more new and essentially is the same thing, just improved.
If you end up not knowing how to internally flash then either read, read, read until you understand or get an SDC image. So many people brick their nooks by not understanding how to internal flash. The SDC image has no risk.

I tried several times holding the buttons but that didn't work. Terminal Emulator just says, "Operation not permitted." Thanks though.

I was orginally in CWM Recovery when it would let me flash the CM7. The link to the thread in the OP advised that CM7 and the appropriate Gapps needs to be installed first before flashing the CM10 + JB Gapps zips. According to the thread I linked, these ROM's will be flashed to internal. This is the method I've been searching for because I didn't like the SDC image idea... just me.
I wasn't supposed to reboot the NT per instructions but when I forgot to enable USB debugging, it would not let me flash the .zips so I had to reboot the NT to get into settings. Is there a way I haven't read about yet that will enable me to flash the .zips without going through CWM Recovery or is it an absolute must?

You don't need to flash CM7 before CM10. It just replaces it anyways. You just need to replace your current internal recovery with CWM and install the zips. There's no other way to internally flash without using a recovery program.
