I ran Cyanogen7 for about two days after rooting, and then the Gtablet froze. When I rebooted, it hangs on the Viewsonic bird screen. I seem unable to turn off, but when I try and reboot with either the pwr + or pwr - button, I'm unable to get anything to happen other than go back to the viewsonic screen with birds. I tried connecting via usb, but can't see the internal SDCARD. Please help, the gtablet is currently only useful as a flashlight using the viewsonic screen. Thx.
nv flash it back to stock rom and try putting rom on again. and clean factory data before new rom boots up or else it will hang.
I'm a novice just knowing enough to be dangerous. How do I NV flash it back to stock ROM when I can't get it to boot and I can access the internal SD with USB?

Just hear me out please.
Ok heres a little s/a. I have a samsung vibrant, last night i flashed my vibrant which was on a rooted vibrant9 rom. To bionix 1.9.1 w/ jacs oc kernal and the voodoo lagfix. Before flashing to the bionix i switched the boot logo and .wav file to one i perfered, i also did the same for the shutdown logo. Now, per the instructions for installing bionix 1.9.1 i took a nandroid backup of my phone on vibrant9 before performing the flash. After i did i flashed using clockwork. Everything went fine, the phone flashed, rebooted and was working great. However i rebooted the phone and relized that the shutdown screen wasnt working as it should because i forgot to include the shutdown.cfg thats required. What i did was took the bionix.zip off my sd card went into it and added the .cfg file i needed. I added it back to the sd card and figured i'd just reflash and all would be fine. Not so lucky however, i tried to reflash using clockwork (which took me to the regular recovery menu you would get to holding down the volume buttons and power) and it failed giving me an error which said "error on line 80". Relizing that the instruction said that if you had the voodoo lagfix you should disable it, i decided to do a factory wipe of all data (thinking that would definitly disable voodoo) after the factory wipe i attempted to flash bionix 1.9.1 again with no luck. After the last attempt i decided to just restore using the nandroid backup of vibrant9 i had taken earlier, the phone went through the restore process with waht appeared to be no problems. After it finished i rebooted from the recovery menu then bammmm. The phone is stuck in a boot loop. Its not a normal boot loop though the initial samsung logo will pop up for a sec then the phone screen will show what looks like tv static for a sec, it just keeps repeating this. To get it to stop i have to pull the battery. Ive tried booting into recovery by holding the volume buttons and the power button, but all that happens is the phone starts into the above mentioned bootloop. As a note whenever i plug the phone up via usb to my computer a grey battery screen pops up but it dosent charge it just sits there, and if i unplug the usb it goes right back into the bootloop. Also my computer will not recognize the phone so using odin seems like a lost cause. I read in a forum for this phone just a bit earlier that its nearly impossible to brick this phone. Have i done the impossible?
Well it sounds like you have hardware locked phone. Also you cannot do a nand restore w/ voodoo enable. That's your problem. There are threads on xda about recovering hardware lock phones. You need to search. If you can get into download mode, you need to flash eugene373's "Froyo that does not brick". Also, once you get phone working, isuggest you keep a disable-lagfix zip on your internal sd.

Great Success
Ok, ok after what seems like a million tries i finally got my vibrant working. After finally getting my vibrant into download mode (by removing the battery, putting the battery back into the phone, holding down both volume buttons and plugging in the phone via usb) i used odin to try and flash back to the factory rom. The flash worked except for an error i noticed when the phone was kicked into factory recovery mode to format itself. There i noticed that at the point when all user data was supposed to be wiped it would have a failure to wipe data. After the flash completed with this error i was able to get past the boot loop. At this point my phone would finish the boot sequence but after the samsung s disappeared the screen would just stay black. However, when ever i pushed any of the soft keys on the front they would light up. So what i did was followed the instructions in the above post and used odin to flash eugenes froyo rom that wont brick. Again the flash would complete but when the phone was kciked into factory recovery mode i got an error and it wouldnt complete it would just hang. So what i did next was use odin to again flash the factory rom and to my surprise it worked. So my vibrant is now restored to its full glory. I owe everything to the patrons of this community. Thanks all.
Ok, I did a NVflash using method on site and now the birds come on then gtab like it going to load and then off. Just continues the pattern. I tried to run Cwm through an eternal sd but it is not picking it up. I hold the recovery key and power button but it doesnt change the pattern. Can anyone help me.
Not enough info to help, but if you are using cwm, then why are you using nvflash? Or vice versa. Nvflash back to 3558.
You need to do a data wipe. Since you're looping you'll need to load CWM during your nvflash. Replace part9.img in your nvflash folder with recovery.img from the ClockworkMod install zip. Then do the nvflash. Then boot into recovery and clear cache, data, etc. When you reboot after that it should work fine.
Similar Issue
I'm experiencing a similar issue after loading Honeycomb. The system ran well for a while, then got stuck at the viewsonic boot screen. Recover does not load so I cannot perform a data wipe. Any thoughts?
You likely need to nvflash.
I tried NVFlash, but my PC won't detect the device anymore either. I also tried CWM for SD, but the tab still just sits at the Viewsonic boot screen
Update
I tried again from another PC and nvflash is working. It appears I have a usb issue on my first machine.
I recently installed a gingerbread rom Lidroid. it was working ok till i realized i could not stand some bugs. I decided to try cyanogen that was released today. It looked like it installed fine but the phone is stuck trying to install clockwork recovey. it keeps going on and looping at the same screen. the last message it shows before it reboots off is "Replacing stock recovery with Clockworkmod" it just keeps looping doing the same thing. I have tried to get into download mode without success. I have been able to put my phone in download mode the past couple times i have run into trouble. Now i simply cant be able to do it. Any help?
I dont know how it happened but after trying for the past 5 hours, i have been able to get it to work. I took the battery out inserted it back in. I held the volume down button and the power button together. i immediately plugged the phone into USB cable while still holding Vol down and power button. After 10-15 seconds, it brought up the clockworkrecovery. I Wiped everything and the cache. I then tried to reinstall cyanogen(the one that brought all this in the first place) because it was the only one on my sd card. It installed and booted up and now i have CM 7. I can also successfully get into Download Mode
Am not sure what i did, but if anyone can run into such a problem you might try this.
Hi
I used the factory reset function on my tab a couple days ago to delete all apps and such and upon reboot it was stuck at the slowly flashing Samsung logo and would proceed no further. I left it for a good hour and a half in that state before I tried hard resetting it but no dice. I've had it do this before when I first rooted it, but unlike that time it doesn't replay the whole boot animation, just the logo part at the end of the animation. I managed to get it in clockwork mod or bootloader whatever that function is and cleared all the caches and did a reboot recovery (i believe thats what it was called) but upon reboot it did the same exact thing. So after that I gave up and went to bed, but the next day when I went back at it again it wouldn't even turn on. After messing around with the power button and volume button trying to get into recovery mode it finally turned on but went to the battery screen with no other actions. I've tried several times to get it into recovery mode but it either wont turn on or it just goes to the battery screen. I have it plugged into my pc at the moment and apparently it is in recovery mode or something because Odin recognizes it. Says [0:COM3] and the box is yellow, but the screen never turns on though when holding the power button and volume button while it's plugged into a pc, the pc recognizes something plugged into the USB slot. My pc is only recognizing it as a modem and will do nothing else with it.
I have the Starburst rom and the overclocked kernel installed and would like to either revert it to stock rom or perhaps the AOKP rom, milestone 6. Is there any way to do this if I can't boot it into a state where I can access the SD card on my pc? All the guides I've found always require I put files on the sd card to flash in clockwork recovery mod. Thanks for any assistance
Edit: Solved it myself, feel free to delete this post. Thanks!
I installed cyanogen mod 9 on my lg e739 and it installed great except Google apps were missing. I made a backup restore file before I did anything and I was going to restore back to the stock ROM and when it finished installing it acted like it was going to boot normal cause I saw the LG screen come up but ever since then the lg screen is the only thing that shows when it starts up. I've tried everything that I have read online and nothing has worked. I'm can't get back into clock work recovery nor will the phone start its restore process from holding the back and menu buttons. It will go into s/w upgrading mode, but my computer doesn't recognize it in this mode. If I try starting it normally and then plug in the USB my computer does recognize it although it is not mounted so I can't access the sd card or memory. Is there anything I can do or try and is there any programs or command prompt commands that would automatically mount my phone. ...what should I do? Any ideas I would greatly appreciate cause I'm at a loss right now
This situation is more like a BRICK than a Boot loop.
