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?
Thank you!

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!

Did you make a nandroid backup before starting? Can you get into the boot loader menu (hold home and turn phone on).
If you made a backup, try to restore it.
If not and you can get into the bootloader, flash modaco's latest rom.
If not to both, try the ruu which is HTC's official (near enough) rom and install from Windows
I'm pretty sure CM ROMs are only for dreams and magics for now,
so basically, just boot into recovery and flash MoDaCo.
Thanks for your replies guys. i tried the first couple of things you suggested but still no joy.
How do i flash the MoDaCo from recovery console? im guess i do the following:
1: download latest ROM from MoDaCo website
2: put update.zip on to sdcard
3: boot to recovery console
4: apply update.zip
have i missed anything? am i on the right path?
Thanks for your help again guys.
Yes, that's basically correct, though you don't need to rename to update.zip as the recovery console allows you to select any ZIP file on the root of the SD card.

Hello, I need some help trying to install the 1.9 ROM. I just purchased a Dell streak coming from an Iphone. Because of a deteriorating eye condition the big screen is a blessing. I bought it used on ebay. It originally had stock 1.6 which i upgraded to stock 2.2 (340) by downloading and running the pkg file. It was very easy to do. Im an att customer this is the relevant information regarding my version of 2.2 .
Version 2.2
Baseband GAUSB1A134031-US
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build 14844
I have read through these forums extensively particularly the "how to" forums for days. After reading all the various variations for upgrading the rom (my phone lags and i want to see if the rom upgrade will fix this) I developed what I though was the proper procedure for installing 1.9. These are the steps i followed:
1. Install Android Drivers
2. Enter Fastboot mode
3. Installed Clockword Mod Recvery
4. Loaded the install txt file and 1.9 zip file on root of sd card.
5. Flashed the Clockword Mode Recovery IMG using fastboot. Fastboot said recovery was "done"
6. Rebooted.
7. Went into recovery mode by pressing Volume UP and Down and power button
8. Chose option 2 upgrade from SD card.
now its my understanding that doing so was supposed to take me to the clockmod recovery screen which would then give me the option of upgrading from the zip file. Instead I get a message in light blue which says in part
"Android System recovery utility GAUSb1a134031
To perform emergency software recovery you will need to insert SD card"
I then pull the battery and reboot and it boots up fine into the stock 2.2.
Now the question is what am i doing wrong. Im thinking that maybe its the baseband? and that I need to flash a new baseband. If anyone can help it with some guidance it would be much appreciated.

Once you flash Clockwork you cannot let it boot. The OS will over-rite Clockwork. As soon as you flash Clockwork, hold both volume buttons down while it is rebooting. Selet option 2 and you should get the Clockwork menu.
Thank you i will give that a try
Didnt work. I do the fastboot recovery flash which it indicates is done. I then give the flashboot reboot command As soon as it starts rebooting i hit the volume up and down and power buttons but it still reboots into stock 2.2. I don't even get the recovery screen
Fuigured it out i only needed tto hold the volume buttons. Now im there thanks again
Hmm, you should be getting a recovery menu either way. The only thing I can think of is to try and hold both volume and power buttons down at the same time. This is how I normally access the recovery menu when not flashing the reboot comand. If thats not it, may be an issue with the recovery image. Have you considered StreakMod Recovery?

Ok, Cool!
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!

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.

Hello,
I recently tried to install custom firmware for my dell streak, However, my device
is android 2.2.2, and I tried to install superboot ver 2.1 (Cuz a misleading
comment on a web site mentioned its ok to root the system by it), my dell
suddenly rebooted in an infinite loop. I tried to enter the recovery menu by
holding the volume buttons and then choosing recovery. Also, I downloaded
Streak_309_11548_00.pkg and hoped this would work, but a stupid error
had occurred, bad, just bad file at the middle of verification process.
Anyway, I cant install clockworkmod because there is no way to root the
device, besides I dont have any back-up image of the streak.
please forum help me, the phone is almost new ( 2 tweeks of use only)
and I will pay if your solution work.
Regards and dont flame me, Im a new android user.
tried an older update, new error
Status 2???!!!
You do not have to be rooted to install a custom recovery. You do have to 'catch' the phone as it reboots by holding the volume up and volume down buttons as it reboots after the fastboot reboot command. If you let it boot into a stock rom the stock recovery will overwrite the custom ROM.
Use StreakMod Recovery if you want a custom Rom.
You need to slow down and do some reading before you go any further.
Suggestions;
Streak Wiki
Universal instructions for flashing any ROM and FAQ
Making a custom recovery stick
Using StreakMod Recovery
Do you know what baseband is on your phone? If you do DL the rom from the Streak WiKi, rename it update.pkg and put in on your SD Card, do not put it into a folder. Start recovery and select to install the update.pkg. You probably got the error when you attempted to use BB 309 because the recovery and the rom you attempted to flash did not match. They need to match so keep trying until you get the correct rom for the version of the recovery that is on your phone.
You could also use fastboot to install StreakMod Recovery, use the fastboot command to rebot the Streak, As soon as the reboot process starts hold down both volume buttons to get to StreakMod. If you use StreakMod you could install SimpleStreak or StreakDroid 1.9.1.
There are links to useful references in my signature.
Good luck.
PS - your Streak is not bricked as long as you can get into recovery, fastboot or your can connect to your computer and the QDLTool will see it.
Im in recovery menu now and If I click
Software upgrade via Update.pkg
the screen goes blank and then just nothing.
K clockworkmod works now
tell me what to do next.
I tried to install streakdroid 2 and its works WOW, thanx to you.
one last question how to install the latest baseband from the following link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091236
sadly the link isnt available.
Don't worry about the latest baseband. If it boots up for you, I would stop there for now. If you were on 2.2.2, then you have either 351-354. Any of those will work for you.

First, I would like to thank you and the forum for your help.
I have experienced a low graphical performance, and Im thinking to roll back
to the latest DJ_steave's custom firmware (2.2.2), However, I can access to
clockworkmod by pressing both volume buttons and then choose the recovery
option, thats weird since almost all tutorials mention that if you want to access
that mod, you have to press the volume up button along the power button.
For now Im waiting for a response whether to downgrade the firmware or
keeping the streakdroid 2.
Regards.
if everything is working then i suggest before trying anything else. do a nandroid backup first, (by going into recovery then advanced and then you see a nandroid backup option)
And i feel streakroid recovery package is preferred for streak as it is designed for streak only and works great.
lesson = homework
I took a stock GTab - 1.2 Branch (4349) and installed ClockWorkMod (CWM) v3028. CWM installed fine, and I attempted to install VEGAn-GE-7.1.0. That was not successful, so I went back to a stock ROM.
I'd like to give CWM another try, this time I am trying CWM 08, as recommended in some threads on these forums. I copied the CWM recovery folder and update.zip to the root of the GTab. However when I start the GTab by holding the power and volume up button, I get the following message at the Viewsonic screen, but nothing else happens:
Recovery key detected
Booting recovery kernel image
How do I get CWM to install?

Well you don't unless you nvflash to stock rom bootloader 1.1 as 08 is only compatible with bootloader 1.1 roms. Unless you have a specific rom that is only available for b/l 1.1 then there isn't any reason to swtich bootloaders. CWM 3.0.2.8 rev 5 is compatible with all b/l 1.2 roms.
What makes you think you are having a problem with CWM?
Thanks - I worked through it some more with NVFlash and got ClockWorkMod (CWM) going. I used the "NVFlash to Stock with CWM pre-installed" file from the "viewsonic gtab for dummies" site, and was able to use CWM to install a ROM. I installed Mountain Laurel 3.1.0 after reading about it on this site. The Gtab is working great now.
Thanks again, and my apologies to the system admins. I realized (after I posted) that this post belongs in the Q&A board vs the General board.
