I install the clockworkmod for set up the GTAB rom...
but now i want to return to the stock recovery...so how to uninstall clockworkmod?
thanks!
savage,
You install CWM to replace the stock recovery. Therefore, you have to re-install the
stock recovery. If you were using a stock rom like say 3588, you would just reinstall
the rom again and let it overwrite CWM.
But since I don't know what rom you are using, you need to check the source of
your rom, make sure it contains the stock recovery -- and then inquire of the issuer
of the rom whether or not you should re-install or do some other special procedure.

thanks！ Now i am using the VEGAn-Tab Build rom~
so what should i do next?
sorry for the confusion~
GTAB ROM is not granular enough - you running stock or a modded ROM? If so, which ROM?
I can reply for TNT Lite 4.3.0+ or gADAM 1.3.0+ - there's a script setup to go back to standard recovery. If you are running either of these, please see my first posts on those ROMs for instructions on what to do. Again, this is only if you are running TNT Lite or gADAM.
You can also attempt to flash standard recovery using a build 3588 standard recovery firmware image in PART3 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005080
savage,
EDIT: roebeet answered you first so I'll just stand by and see what y'all do.
Good luck!

problem with installing CWM
I got my gtablet yesterday and tried to install CWM v.8 using external micro SD card. It looked like it was half way done because it could not reboot by itself and stuck at a screen asking for reboot. So I selected reboot but it did not reboot. I had to force it to close. When I pressed volume+ and power, it had this message on the upper left coner: Recover key detected, booting recovery kernel image and 3 birds in the middle of the screen. It stuck there forever without doing anything. I only installed Z4root and nothing else. How can I remove the half-done CWM and redo it again. If I can do it again, what should I look out to avoid the same error?

If you got your tablet yesterday, then it probqbly had firmware 1.2.4349 on it, which is a 1.2 bootloader firmware. You tried installing a CWM made for a 1.1 bootloader. how much research did you do prior to modding? Seeing as you installed Z4root, I'd imagine that you didn't do much, as it's not needed at all to root your G-tab.
go to http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/ and start reading at "START HERE" to get an idea of what your dealing with, and what you can and can't do...look through the entire site!
to get out of where you are now, and back to a workable base, follow the "CODE RED" instructions here: http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/
Lastly...don't do anything else silly until you've read and understand all of the instructions on Goodintentions site...it's a GREAT resource and should be a pre-requisite for all new G-Tab owners.
argh. been trying for a couple days to install the new Vegan RC1. can't get it to work. i get through everything seemingly fine. then we go to the final reboot to bring up the new rom, and it hangs at those adorable viewsonic birds for eternity. Eternity being defined in this case as: 25 minutes was the longest I let it go before trying again.
trying to use using this version:

I tried the cm7 ROM too and it did the same thing. I have seen other folks have this problem, but one thing that seems unique to my situation is that if I follow the same steps using the 4349_downgrade ROM... it works like a charm.
what up with that?
On a positive note, I have not bricked it yet!
I have searched this forum a bunch before posting, so hopefully I am not being too much of a noobie dorko.
you need to use the nvflash files in the development section
I started looking at NVFlash to use that, but it didn't seem like it worked with the ClockWork Mod. SO I tried to figure out how to remove the Clockwork Mod and revert to original, but no luck there. If you do not have to remove CWM, are there directions to use NVFlash with CWM?
Thanks!
AHA! Progress! Got NVFlash to work. Noob mistake maybe, but I think it would help to make the guide clear. But to get into the APX mode to run the NVFlash, you hold power and volume DOWN. Not volume up for the CWM. That was my mistake. Argh! Now trying to put the ROM on....
SUCCESS!! NVFlash is what I needed! Thanks to the XDA Devs!
Hey all. I just got a new G Tablet and am trying to install CM7 I was following the instructions to the letter from (Since I an't post links, just google this) Cyanogenmod G Tablet Wiki Full
I got through the 'Installing ClockworkMod Recovery' part and everything appeared to finish successfully.
After rebooting the device, I tried to boot into Recovery to install CM7 and the device just freezes on the ViewSonic splash screen. The screen says 'Recovery key detected Booting recovery kernel image', but it just sits there.
I am able to boot the device into the stock OS, but I can no longer get into recovery.
What can I do?
Tap UI Version: 1,2-4349
Kernel Version: 2,6,32,9-00001-g0e0c333-dirty
Build number: FRF91
Thank you in advanced for your help. Please let me know if there is any other information you need about my device.

You're on the 1.2 bootloader, and CWM .8 will not work on it. There is a versio nthat WILL work, but I, unfortunately don't know the exact link to provide for you. I'll attempt to look it up and get back to you, though.
basically, your G-Tablet, was at some point, updated with the most recent OTA update provided by viewsonic. The update was pulled 24 hours after it was released. You're not lost with 1.2...you have many options. You can either stay on 1.2 and flash any of the many 1.2 roms...some are listed in the development section, others can be found on "another" forum.
If you need CM7, then I suggest that you follow the "foolproof flash to stock 4349" thread, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039000) but STOP once you've successfully flashed STOCK 3588.
3588 is on the 1.1 bootloader required for CM7.
EDIT:
I also find it interesting, it appears that pershoot's kernel has been installed already? Was this a brand new out of the box G-Tablet, or a used one? I am actually hoping that it's used. If it's NEW, then VS needs to explain how it came with a redacted update AND a custom kernel...
THANK ROEBEET FOR THIS:
Since I can't link to another forum, I decided to copy and paste. If people are going ot come ot XDA with issues involving the now taboo 1.2 bootloader, then they'll need to admit that the only way to help them is to link to a forum that everyone is migrating to.

THIS REV2 VERSION HAS BEEN TESTED MORE, but nandroid restores are not working properly. Rev5 corrects that, but I need more testers to confirm stability, please!
Many thanks to bekit and rothnic, for their work with clockworkmod!! Their documentation is what assisted me to get this functioning.
NOTE ON CWM: Do not use the Android GUI tool to wipe user data, or else cwm will get stuck in a reboot loop! If this occurs, there are two ways to fix this:
1- ADB required
In clockworkmod, go to mounts and storage and mount /system. Then, run this on your local PC:
adb shell
cd /system/bin
./fixrecovery.sh
Then reboot. What should occur is that standard recovery should pop up and complete the data wipe. On the next reboot, you should be able to get back into the GUI.
2- nvflash required
Using the 4349 nvflash image, run this:
nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 part9.img
Then reboot. What should occur is that standard recovery should pop up and complete the data wipe. On the next reboot, you should be able to get back into the GUI.

TJEvans (is it ok if I call you TJ for short?) thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it very much. I'm sorry if confuse some terms here as I try to address your posts inline below, but I would definitely still consider myself a novice at this process of installing custom roms.

This is a brand new G Tablet. I litteraly got in the mail today from Tiger Direct. I'm wondering if the Clockworkmod I tried to install is responsible for the custom kernel.

I don't necessarly need CM7, but that is what I have on my Nook Color, and I really like it.
The main question I have is that right now, I cannot get into clockwork or stock Recovery at all. I do have adb working, so I would think my next steps will require me to use adb.
At the moment since I can't get to recovery I seem to be stuck. Is there a process somewhere I can get recovery working again using adb?
OK...let's try something. It looks like you may actually be in stock recovery, but there's nothing for it to recover.
do you know of a way to get a file and a folder onto your internal SD?
if so, let's edit the instructions to be able to flash to 3588 stock...
What you need:
1. A stock 3588 image renamed to 'update.zip' (http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/...-3588-user.zip)
2. A folder called recovery with a file in it called COMMAND inside it with the following line of text:
Code:
--update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if yo ucan get those on the SD, then when you reboot, the stock recovery will run and install stock 3588 1.1 based rom and recovery, then you can install your CWM .8.
I have never used NVFlash or ADB, or APX...I have no experience with them. I'm just here helping people that have compatibility issues between 1.1 and 1.2 bootloaders.
After all, the key to fixing problems, is to first find out what the problem is...
I wish I could help more, but I've seen more and more people softbrick their g-tabs by using NVFlash than anything else. I'm not ready to go messing around with my own root files, yet.
If you can get that file, and that folder onto your SD, then stock recovery will automatically recognize it and run it...
I may have just really screwed things up. I ran 'adb reboot recovery' and I gets to the Splash screen with 'Booting recovery kernel image' and gets stuck. Now, I can't get into the device at all.
Also, none of the links in your posts seem to work for me.
try them from the original post, then:

It's far from being taboo since it's the honeycomb bootloader... their recovery was blue for a reason...
maybe they pulled those OTA update because they had not licensed honeycomb anyhow, 1.2 is perfectly good to install as long as you use a 1.2 compatible kernel you can even use non 1.2 rom!
Ok, I was able to get the device working again using NVFlash. (http forum,xda-developers,com/showthread,php?t=861950 replace commas with periods).
Now, I have the following:
Tap UI:1,1-3588
Kernel is still: 2,6,32,9-00001-g0e0c333-dirty
I don't know anything about this kernel, or how I got it, other than maybe it came with my first errant clockwork install.
Can you give me some pointers on how I should proceed? (I would still like to get to CM7 at some point, but I don't know if I should get a different kernel or go back to the stock kernel as well)
GREAT NEWS....glad you god it running so far.
OK, that may be the stock kernel...the numbers looked familiar to me, and I've never seen the stock kernel on that report...so, I may be mistaken.
in any case, you are now back on stock 3588 1.1 bootloader...
Now, you should be able to install the CWM .8 that you tried before, and flash CM7 from there...basically, follow the guide you followed before. but this time, it should work fine, since you are on the right bootloader.
Just remember, research ANY new roms you want to try to make sure what bootloader they are on.
to P00r:
as long as you use a 1.2 compatible kernel you can even use non 1.2 rom!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
see, I didn't even know that...
The thing I'm seeing, is that Clemysn posted the BOS infromation here, and tried to emphasize that it's a 1.2 Rom...The 1.1 rom's though, do not indicate that they are 1.1 Roms. when 1.1 was all that existed, it made no difference, but now that there is another option, they should at least make sure to add "PLEASE BE SURE YOU ARE USING A 1.1 BASED BOOTLOADER BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM!!!"
As you can see from Imarikinrat's post, he bought a supposedly factory G-Tablet with 4349 prepackaged on it...now, granted, you and I both know that it's more than likely a refurbished one, as I can't see Viewsonic intentionally releasing product with a bootloader and firmware that was pulled from their updater...
in any case. Roebeet kinda predicted that this would happen a bit. Since most moderators on XDA downplayed the impact of 1.2, it's gone fairly ignored. Think about Imaricanrat's post for a second. Had he not posted his system information there is no way that we would have known that it was a bootloader conflict. It would have been assumed that he was on 1.1 bootlaoder with a "brand new" g-tablet (seriously, man, I'd check that thing with a magnifying glass to make sure that there are no scratches or anything that would indicate that it was anythign other than BRAND NEW)
anyway...had he not posted that he was on 1.2, then who knows what advice he would have been given.
Well, now I'm back to my original problem. I cannot get into Recovery. When I start holding Power and Vol+, I see 'Recovery key detected Booting recovery kernel image' it then goes to the 'gtablet' splash screen then quickly into a screen with a box with an arrow and a progress bar (the progress bar has the candy cane animation and nothing happens for all of 3 seconds) then the device reboots.
I have tried putting the recovery folder and update.zip in the internal memory, and on an sd card to no avail. Any other suggestions?
that most certainly sounds like stock recovery to me...
I'm at a loss...it worked fine for me when I flashed to 4349 from stock 3588...just ran and installed, then I ended up on 4349 stock...
you're following the CM7 install guide? Or are you trying to install CWM at this point? I never installed CWM myself, as mine came with it on it.
I'm trying to install clockworkmod so that I can install CM7. Is that the right way to do it? I know there was a stock recovery gui that I cannot get into now.
as long as the recovery folder is on the SDcard, it will automatically attempt to run it...
picture it this way...remember back in the day of windows 3.1 In some cases, if you inserted a floppy disk with a boot file on it, it would check there first, then boot from internal memory...
So, the recovery folder is telling it to run the file in it, which unpacks and installs the update.zip.
once again, though, I never installed CWM myself, but from what you're saying, it should be working.
what happens if you remove the folder and file (after running it), and attempt to go into recovery again?
When I remove the file, folder, and SD card and try to get into recovery, I see 'Recovery key detected Booting recovery kernel image' it then goes to the 'gtablet' splash screen then quickly into a screen with a box with an arrow and a progress bar (the progress bar has the candy cane animation and nothing happens for all of 3 seconds) then the device reboots.
hmm...the box with the arrow and progress bar indicates that it's trying ot run something from recovery...weird..
ANYONE ELSE???
I'm not experienced enough to help...anyone else know enough about flashing CWM from stock, or flashing CM7, that can help out, please chime in.
thanks.
and sorry Imarican...I tried, but once again, no techie here.
No worries man, thanks for your help. Have a good night.
Update: Ok, I think somehow this whole process messed up the 'Recovery Partition' on my G Tablet for whatever reason. When I performed the NVFlash back to stock, it managed to 'fix' the majority of the device, allowing me to boot normally into Tap UI:1,1-3588. However that flash did not fix my Recovery Partition.
With all of that in mind, I found instructions on XDA to install 'clockworkmod via nvflash' (Since I still cannot post links, just google that and it should be the first link, also it's XDA thread 1058649).
After following those steps, I am now able to boot into Recovery which is now Clockwork Mod Recovery, and hopefully *crosses fingers* be able to flash CM7.
Given that I will probably never go back to stock anything on this device, does anyone know where I can download the 'Stock Recovery' for the G Tablet?
so is the point of this article Tiger direct sell used products as new?

unconfirmed...what we know is that he had 1.2 4349 out of the box, stock firmware. There are a few possibilities. This could be a Tiger Direct return that was repackaged and sold as new. It could also be a direct from VS return that was repackaged as new, OR, VS actually sent a stock of G-Tablets to Tiger Direct that were packaged with the 4349 firmware on it.
Either way, people need to be careful when flashing roms and such. XDA has not, so far, made it clear which roms, kernels, and CWM versions are good on which bootloader. Some have been asking that devs start exiting posts to indicate which bootloader is needed for each mod, to attempt to avoid confusion.
We must also realize that new G-Tablets are being bought every day, and not every owner is knowledgable of the issues of the recent past, with VS, NVidea, 1.1, 1.2, etc. Most people probably, reasonably, assume that they can open it, root it, and start flashing whatever they want, not even aware that there is a difference.
Hello everyone,
i just recently purchased a gtab and tried to install clockwork recovery on it. that didnt seem to work so i tried to do a factory reset. my guess is it tried to boot to CWM but the files were messed so now its stuck at "booting recovery kernel image". can someone assist me? my plan was to put cwm on it, and then put Vegan on it, but that foiled.
Thanks!

What version of CWM did you try to install? Do you know what bootloader you're on? I'd imagine that you tried flashing the 1.1 BL CWM and ended up in a softbrick because you have a 1.2 BL G-Tablet...
G-Tablet for Dummies is your friend...google it, read every page, then decide what you want to do. At the start here page, you're on a code red, I believe.
If you happened to install a wrong CWM bootloader version, you are in BIG trouble. The "stuck bird sign" is not a good sign
Last time it happened, I used code DETOX to set it straight in viewsonic gtablet for dummies.
THis thing is unbrickable (virtually unbrickable), so no worries~
I have to agree. I got my gtablet about a month ago. Nothing I did seemed to work, until I found the gtablet for dummies site. Within about two hours, I was up and running with a real android operating system with full market.
That site ROCKS!
Thank you all so much for the reply. I just got it today and knew I didnt want TnT but i guess i rushed with the process and did the wrong bootloader. Im gonna look in to that when i get home to my own PC and see what happens. Thank you!
ok. i read over the Gtablet for dummies website, and that reminded me that there must be something wrong with the install of CWM. all it does is say ANDROID in orange on the left of the screen and then a grey triangle shows up. im going to attempt to be the Triple Code Red tonight and hope that works.
Humblemuffin,
Don't give up! I totally messed up the g tablet shortly after taking it out of the box. After much research and trying various steps/techniques, I eventually was able to bring it back.
I posted the exact steps I used here on xda and on slatedroid.
They can also be found on the Viewsonic Gtablet For Dummies site under "How-To". Follow the steps exactly and I am confident you will get your g tab restored.

thaks for the advice. im quite grateful that theres people able to help me here. ive been reading gtablet for dummies, but i seem to be at even more of a standstill. i think my CWM is corrupt or something. after it says "Recovery Key Press Detected", it shows ANDROID in yellow/orange letters on the left of the screen for about a second, then a grey triangle with an exclamation mark pops up. i think using the wrong bootloader kind of screwd me over. i always try and rush with my technology like this. thank you!
Here is another potential solution for you to consider. It does not require the use of ADB which makes it a little easier than my steps. If it you think this one will work for you, then I would recommend doing it before mine.

Thanks for the reccomendation! I sent you a message about it and maybe we could get it up and running. My main concern now is that my CWM still doesn't work. That's kind of worrysome to me because all the potential fixes I see envolve using it at one point or another.
Blank Screen, background light
I went to GTablet for Dummies as well, to install CWM and then a new OS. Unfortunately, my GTab would not accept the installation of CWM. I have a 1.1, and tried installing the version 1.1....following the directions exactly They then suggested I install nvflash, which I tried with no success. Now, my GTab just shut down...blank screen with background light. Prior to the shut down, it had over 40% battery life left. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Well, when I first got a gtab, i messed up the bootloader (installing the wrong version of bootloader), CWM doesn't work. Etc...etc...luckily apx mode still work. This is what I do. I think it is sorta the ultimate wipe.
Edit: I wasn't allowed to put link outside since I was a new user. But you can just go to viewsonic gtablet for dummies website
USE THE CODE DETOX. The code detox invovles you nvflashing your rom with this format.zip file. It might look similar to other nvflash at first glance except when you use the format zip nvflash, you will see "magic-value -mismatch" in red color.
After you nvflashed your tab with format.zip. Do another Nvflash, but this time, Nvflash your tab with "NVFlash to Stock with CWM pre-installed" . Get the right bootloader, and follow the steps described later in viewsonic gtab for dummies, and you have a smoking gtab soon enough
Um... guys, just download my nvflash with cwm pre-installed and use that. No need to put cwm on separately.
To goodintentions, TJEvans, fury7, tidbit, djab76, SM Daly, ahandlen003, and goodintentions again.
Thank you so much. i know the task is yet to be complete, but i finally was able to get past the bootloop and in to TnT to do the OTA update. im going to be much more careful with any more modding. for the record, the NVflash with CWM pre installed for BL 1.2 was the ticket. CWM looks so beautiful after being in the pits for a few days.
if all goes to hell again, ill let you all know.
Thanks again!

Before I bought my gtab, i spents hours reading up on roebeets and others @ xda, blogspot and slate. took tons of notes. had everything laid out step by step. even had nvflash files set up. Had minimal prblems.
In the last month or two, found out about goodintentions website. he pretty much compiled everything you would need to know.
spend some time there reading up and you'll be on your way.
Probably should send him a donation also...he deserve it
I have a question I think I jump the gun on this one. I tried to install ClockWorkMod for my G tab 1.2 I got the file from GTablet for dummies but everytime I tried to install it it will just sit on the "Recovery key detected" and then it says "Booting recovery kernel image" and with the 3 birds and it just sits there! I can't get into recovery mod. either but I can turn it off and it boots fine to the homepage. What can i do? The person I bought it from had it rooted but he said he returned it back to stock rom. Thanks for the help.

If it were my Gtab, I would nvflash it back to stock myself just in case. Just pay attention to the requirements of the custom ROM you want to flash: some are for 1.1 and some for 1.2 -- nvflash accordingly. Anyway, learning and setting up nvflash is a good thing if you plan to flash custom ROMS with any regularity.

Hello,
First off, this is such an awesome website, my hat's off to the hard working Developers here. Kudos to you!
I got my Gtab about two years ago, and quickly found this site, having found that I can return my GTab back to stock, with little or no trouble, I starting trying many Roms, all of which have been great! I always found my way back to stock, having all the hardware fully functional eventually made a difference. I kept a clockworkmod backup, and always would return to it, until I accidently deleted it. So I redownloaded the stock rom, 1.2 4349, and was back on my way to restoring my Gtab, then I hit a snag, a LONG time ago, I downloaded Robeet's Stock Recovery enhancement pack 1.2, as everything else I had problems with, now I can't find it to redownload it, and every Gapps download seems to have a problem with 1.2 / 4349, which became worse when my Gtab had the OTA update to 5399. Which I'd like to stay on.
So my questions are these,
Is there a good stable Gapps package out there for 4349 / 5399, that doesn't change the gallery, or make the address book crash?
and what version of Clockworkmod should I install? 3028 makes the Gtab freeze on the three birds, or Gtablet logo, after 5399 update.
I've been flashing, reformatting, and reflashing, and combing this site for about two weeks now. and don't want to give up on it, even though I just bought an Acer a700, still love my Gtab.
any help or pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
Do you know the name of the file you need?
I have the following:
gtab.1.2-4349.recovery.pack.1.0
gtab.Brilliant.Corners.1.2.0
gtab.Brilliant.Corners.1.2.1.suppl
gtab.Brilliant.Corners.1.3.0
nvflash_gtablet_2010110500
nvflash_windows_20100500
Not sure if one of those is what you are looking for but I haven't seen anything from Roebeet on any social media site since 09/2012.
I am going to upload the files to my Google Drive. Let me know if you need access.
Thank you for your offer,
I have the Rom (stock 4349 with stock 1.2 BL) I need some advice on what Google app package to use with it, that also will work with the 5399 OTA update, then some advice on which version of CWM I should use to avoid freezing & reflashing.
Tablet stable
After several boot freezes, and a host of other glitchy problems, I had to reflash the rom again, and nvflash stopped about two thirds through, and never finished. My G Tab stuck in APX mode, so I powered it down, opened up the case and did a hard reset, I had to solder the power connector earlier last month, so I made sure I knew where the reset was, after doing that, the nvflash finished, the rom installed, it did an OTA update to 5699, and I flashed clockwork mod 3028, then 4015 onto it, and it seems to be working fine. put GApps on, and the market updated itself extremely quick. So now im looking for a few apps that were included in some earlier stock roms, I found Tegra zone, Im still looking for the "Picture Frame" widget, (Not "Picture Frame plus). Anybody have the Apk for that lying around, I'd greatly appreciate it!
