I have flashed a few different roms trying to find one I like and have not had any issues until I flashed GTabComb.
I am not stuck in ClockworkMod (v3.0.2.8) (GTab 1.2). I can reboot the system but it just puts me back in recovery. I have tried flashing a rom that worked before, and wiping every partition, cache and factory reset. I have tried to reflash cwm but it fails.
I had a friend who is rather experienced in this stuff (hokansoc) suggest to me that it could be the flag is stuck that causes the bios to select recovery and that and adb reboot device might work. However I am having a very hard time getting the tegra drivers to work (if anyone has a good guide to that it would be appreciated).
As always, any help is appreciated. Thanks
Was able to apx->NVFlash->clockwork and reflash rom. Mods, feel free to close.

So...I can't install either of the two CM based ROM's I've downloaded. However, on the first try, I installed VEGan, and then tonight TNT Lite, with no issues. Any CM ROM I try to install just sits on the loading screen, regardless of how long I wait. Is there something special that needs to be done to install them, different than what I do for other ROM's? (Clear data/cache, flash the ROM, clear data/cache again, reboot.)

I believe you have ClockworkMod 0.8 recovery, since you were able to flash Vegan Rom.
In general, before you flash the different rom
1. Back up your current rom
2. wipe data (factory reset)
3. wipe cache
4. flash the rom
5, flash gapps
6. reboot
Hope this helps
There have also been some reports of G-Tablets coming out of the box with incorrect partitions.
Using NVFlash has cured those issues. You should then be able to flash CM7 Roms through CWM like everyone else.
I repartitioned with 2048/0, shouldn't that rule out any partitioning problems?
I'm trying it again right now with flashing the rom then gapps.zip, waiting for it to boot...or just stay on the boot screen.
Format system and data, then follow those steps again. I ran in to similar issues when I hadn't formatted.
Also, do the three wipes again after installing the ROM and gapps.
Holy crap! I see the CM boot screen now! Thanks for the help guys. Now, do I still need to do the market fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245)? It looks like from their changelogs that the latest version of Flash is cooked into the ROM so I shouldn't have to do that part from the guide, but I'm wondering about the market.
Well, the market seems to have everything, including an app (power control plus) that none of the other rom's let me see, so I seem to be good to go! Thanks again guys!
Thanks for the suggestion - and I'll readily admit I'm WAY out of my comfort zone with Android.
When I format the /system /data do I have to mount first?
What order do the steps run in? Do I partition and then format /system /data?
cannot install cm based roms
I was trying to reset from factory rest but failed when my gtablet stucked and apparently did something wrong along the way. Now when I turn it on, I get the 3 birds screen, followed by G-Tabdevs screen, then dead. I do have clockwork mod installed on it.
1 when I clicked factory rest, it just return to the manue and said cannot find the file.
2 when I did a back up, it went through boot image,recovery image,system and then taskbar stopped in the half at settings.apk and then dead.
3 when I tried to followed this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
to use the external tf card to flash, Gtablet doesnot recogonize the external card, while I can read all the files in gtablet. I can copya single small file but cannot paste a recovery and update.zip on gtablet. Each time I copied a file from gtablet, then it is dead. I have to return on by pressing power and volume+.
4 I tried adb to push update.zip to gatblet,also failed. I feel my gtablet can only allows me to read it and refuse me to do anything on it.
Any ways to reboot my gatblet brick?
Please help! I've been reading forums all weeks trying to figure out how to fix it and am not having any luck!
Appreciate any suggestions
I've seen a few posts for other phone models doing this but their steps to fix aren't helping me. I've tried installing other recoveries and reapplying roms. nothing helping.
[update] I've progressed further and got into my ROM but now when I try to reboot either into recovery or a standard reboot it does some ROM recovery functions and will say say:
Android System recovery do not pull out battery
format data
format cache
factory reset
rebooting
then boots back into my ROM
getting further. I was transitioning back from aosp rom's to a froyo rom. took a while to get some order down to get a xionia recovery on and fix the factory reset loop then get a froyo rom and kernel on the phone
Hey guys, first off this is not a thread to ask for how to get out of a boot loop, so don't flame me before reading it.
I've been running various Stock roms, KG2/KI3/KJ2 which are all flashed through Odin and work fine, but I can't seem to flash ANY roms at all using CWM, I've tried wiping the cache and wiping user data before flashing but everytime I use CWM to flash my phone gets stuck in a boot loop, tried various roms and they all get stuck in boot loop which I have to use Odin to fix and root so I can get CWM again, but out of the 5 or so roms I've flashed with CWM they all seem to put the phone into a boot loop. Anyone have any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
I know how to fix the boot loop, what I want to know is how the heck do I get roms to run when flashed using CWM. I've used CWM on numerous other android devices and I'm pretty sure I'm flashing it right (clear user data, clear cache, install zip from sdcard). I mean its not rocket science. Would really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.
Have you tried flashing it twice in a row, without reboot in-between?
That I haven't tried. I'll give it a try. Cause nothing seems to be working.
Ok, just tried double flashing without rebooting and it still does the boot loop.
I rooted my device using Gingerbreak.
I have 2.2.2 installed out of the box. I installed CWM. I installed busybox.
Busybox failed. I tried all the versions that it contains.
I checked root status, and RootCheckBasic says I'm rooted.
I installed Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. It will not reboot to CWM.
It only reboots to the standard Android recovery.
I'm trying to install Bumblebee ROM 2.4.
Here are some things I am having issues understanding with it...
Backup current apps and their data with Titanium Backup (available in the Market). Is this required? The phone is new. I have nothing to back up.
Do a nandroid backup in recovery before doing anything else below.
And the nandroid backup is done with CWM? Again CWM won't reboot, only the standard Android recovery boots.
Required if installing BB 2.x for the first time: Wipe. Wipe it all. Data, cache, system, dalvik-cache, sd-ext if you've got it (might need to look under Advanced or Mounts in recovery to do the last two, and while you're there format /system). I assume you wipe it all with CWM while in recovery?
If upgrading from BB 2.3, wipe cache (and only cache) in recovery.
Does not apply to me
If not upgrading from 2.3, install Wiper zip (see below), just to be extra sure that all is wiped. Don't reboot yet. Installing wiper.zip is done by sideloading using adb commands?
Install ROM zip (see below).
I assume this too is done by copying the zip to the external SD, then selecting update from SD card in recovery... right?
Please someone shed some light on this for me.
In standard Android recovery it says e3. I know on my Captivate I had to use Odin to install GB loaders to get it to work.
THANKS!
Flashwork mod recovery? Never heard of it.
Try downloading rom manager from the market and use that.
Everything else should be simple

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
It's in rom manager.
Which I installed from the market.
But I don't get the CWM recovery when I reboot into recovery mode.
I get the standard Android recovery
-you know... the one that just has "install update.zip"

Oh, okay, um... are you using the reboot into recovery option in rom manager right after flashing?
After flashing what?
I reboot into recovery through rom manager and get:
Android system recovery <3e>
reboot system now
apply sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
_________________________________________________________
Android System recovery...
Do not pull out the battery!!
After hitting flash clockworkmod recovery, immediately hit reboot recovery
After hitting anything in CWM it did nothing more than reboot into the standard android recovery.
This phone has 2.2.2 on it. Problem? Probably.
I followed instructions at androidcentral and got it to work.
Needed Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM
Installed BACKside-IHO-VM670-11222011
using Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM_Recovery-signed
Had a little problem today and needed to activate the phone. BUUUUT......
the rom didn't allow activation.
So I installed Bumblebee. No go.
Then I tried [rom] basic stock rom.
Neither of these will let my phone boot. It gets stuck at boot.
Nothing happens.
I can still boot into Xiona_CWMA. But no roms will work.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Ok, so I CAN load different recoveries.
They work, or at least seem to.
I can flash roms, but nothing happens (bootloop) or the phone comes on and works with a black screen.
I can call my number and can hear the call, but can't see anything.
Bullet if u found solution pls tell me too

I believe that may be due to the newer display in your phone (I'm new to this device so I dont know much yet). From the little bit of information I've gathered, devices manufactured recently have a different display that requires a kernel that supports it. In the iho roms this is included, on others you'll need to flash a kernel right after the rom.
For the stock rom I can upload what I use if you need it. Its basically the one posted here just with the boot.img swapped with one from a nandroid backup I made before switching roms
I think you're spot on with that idea.
I loaded CM7 variant, and it worked.
My question is, how do I get another ROM on it if it has the newer screen?
I loaded different kernels that were supposed to fix it, but no go.
I've had my Samsung Galaxy S Showcase (tracphone) for awhile now and decided to root it. For some dumb reason I flashed a custom ROM onto it.
I had no problems until I downloaded Boot Animation. I selected a custom boot animation, rebooted my phone, and it loops at the animation forever.
I tried to restore using CWM and get the message "MD5 mismatch!"
I tried a factory reset, it errors every step of the way, then says data wipe complete. I reboot and it just keeps looping at the new boot animation.
I tried wiping the cashe, and formatting everything to re-instal the ROM. I select the ROM. it starts to install, resets the phone like it did the first time, but instead of going back to CWM to finish installing, it loads to the boot animation and loops.
I'm very new at this so I don't know what info you would need to help me out if at all possible. and if its impossible at least tell me that I'm royally clucked so I don't spend the rest of my life wondering =)
you can try to flash stock with odin there will be many threads and tutorials about it on the forums
Thanks for the suggestion, but I gave it to my friend who thinks he knows everything and he somehow turned it into a Samsung Mezmerize. Now a question about that. If I try and root it do I put CWM on it as a Samsung Mesmerize? I'm just very confused about everything now, do I treat it and everything I do to it as a Mesmerize?
