I'm not able to get to CWM.
I was switching ROMs and now I seem to be stuck in APX mode.
I'm able to use NVFLASH as outlined here viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/nvflash, using the 1.2 branch with CWM preinstalled. After the process is finished, I get the stock rom and everything appears to be working but if I power off and try to turn it back on using power and volume + (I'm sure it is '+') I just get a black screen. If I plug the gtablet into my pc I hear the familiar usb connected sound and can run nvflash again, but if I power off it won't reboot.
I searched around this forum for possible solutions, but everything I've tried is not working for me.
Am I missing something?
I've been successfully switching between ROMs in the past.

So it's going into APX when you do Power & Vol +. What happens when you do Power & Vol -?
I am seeing the exact same issue after trying to revert to stock mod w/ CWM... any ideas?

For me, both [power & vol-] and [power & vol+] puts it in APX mode.

Thanks Dave, I was able to get further with your link (which is promising), but it didn't quite fix my issue. Everything goes great through 2.7, then on 2.8 when flashing with part6 (the 1st time), it stops at the "Android system recovery <3e>" screen, with the following at the bottom:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk2
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD2:recovery/command
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installing Tap 'n Tap build 4349
bootloader_file[0]="/tmp/bootloader.bin", partition_name[0]="EBT"At this point if I reboot, it gets stuck at the screen with the screwdriver and wrench crossed in the middle. The only resolution is to hold the power button... then back to APX mode. *sigh*
From the posts that I could find, the first mounting errors seem benign, but I looked at the recovery.log, and here is what I see at the bottom:
Installing Tap 'n Tap build 4349

It would appear that I have some bad blocks
I'm not quite sure what to make of the message about no /data partition (while trying to install angry birds, of all things)
Any suggestions for the next course of action?
Any thoughts on where I go from here? I'm thinking it might be time to flash with the stock ROM, no CWM, and send it back to Viewsonic. From the log, it looks like I've got some bad memory blocks.
Any other ideas before I ship it back and hope they fix it under warranty?

Hey guys,
It looks like I've finally screwed up my phone. It was bound to happen.
Here's what happened:
I was running an unchanged, rooted rom. I installed RyanA's lagfix, which worked, but didn't make a huge difference.
So I unapplied it, and then applied the voodoo lagfix. This worked great until I tried to install a backup. I forgot to disable voodoo, and now I'm stuck.
Problems:
The phone boots up, I can use it and everything, but I have 0.00 application space. I cannot install anything!
I cannot enter USB mode in any way. I installed the drivers, uninstalled them, re-installed... nothing. I am running Windows 7, but I tried it on an XP machine, still nothing.
If I go into Clockwork to try to factory reset, or install my backup stock rom, I get this error:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Error mounting /data/!
Skipping format...
Copying files...
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
E: Can't mount DATA:
E: Failure at line 372:
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
Installation aborted.
Lastly, I can't enter download mode at all. I may have a hardware locked Vibrant, because I've never been able to get into it. This is a problem, because I can't flash Odin to fix this whole mess.
I now come to you people who have been super helpful in the past! What can I do aside from cry?
You are getting that error becuase you still have a ext4 partition in place. If you can still acess your sd card,then download "disable-lagfix" zip,or create a file by that name in the "voodoo" folder (reboot), or flash zip through clockwork. Then run your nandroid backup. I always keep that zip on my sdcard for this very situation.
If you can boot up, and get into the Android OS, you can almost assuredly fix it.
What have you tried to get into Download mode? Try to follow these instructions exactly.
1- Install Samsung Kies. (This will install the drivers needed for your phone onto your computer).
2- Power down your phone.
3- Remove the battery.
4- Plug a usb cable into your phone.
5- Plug the usb cable into your computer.
6- While holding your phone with one hand, press and hold the Volume Up AND Volume Down button AND the power button.
7- While holding down all three buttons, put your battery into the phone.
8- As soon as you put the battery back in you will see a small icon in the center of the screen, as soon as it goes away, (it will be a solid black screen) release ONLY the power button. Continue to hold the Volume keys. Timing is important here, you must release the button as soon as you see a black screen after the initial animation.
This should get you into Download mode where you can flash with Odin and fix it right up.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the speedy response guys. I'll give it a shot now and see what happens!

I ended up making this very same mistake a few days ago. This might be silly, but have you tried disabling Voodoo yet? When this happened to me, I was able to put the "disable lagfix" file in the Voodoo folder and it fixed it. It copied the ext4 back to rfs and I was then able to restore a backup and my /data was recognized once again with no errors.

You are an absolute genius! I just got in on the first try following those instructions!
It looks like everything is on the way to working again, thanks so much!!
And thanks everyone else for the help!
I didn't personally come up with that procedure, I found it in other threads here on XDA after a couple hours of searching since I soft bricked my phone yesterday. Glad I could relay the info and help you out.
So I successfully (I think) took my gtab back to stock rom using NVFlash. Then When i try to install clockwork mod (to eventually move to TNT lite 4.4) I killed it. I copied over the update.zip and recovery folder when attempting to do clockwork. Then I powered down. Now it won't do anything. ie. The screen doesn't even turn on. I tried disconnecting the main battery and letting it sit for up to 20 sec but that doesn't help either. Won't turn on while holding +Vol either (that's how I tried first).
Connect it to your computer via USB and see if it's in APX mode. If it is then you'll likely need to nvflash again. If you do make sure that you are using the right drivers and bekit's 1105 image. Then once you have it up and running you'll likely need to repartition it.
ok. And if that works Can I update the tablet with the new viewsonic release or do I have to keep the old version to run clockwork and then tnt 4.4? I guess 5 has been taken down?
The latest Viewsonic release (build 4349) is NOT compatible with the standard clockworkmod.
TnTLite has been retired and replaced by it's developer with Mountain Laurel which you can find over at SlateDroid. It is based on the latest stock build so you could upgrade to that with no trouble if you choose to.
Alright. Thanks for the help so far. It was indeed still in apx mode. Any Idea's on how to get it out? I can NVFlash it with no problem but every time I reboot (update or just power down) it comes back in APX and I have to re-NVFlash.
You have an APX brick. Unless KJ Rad has come up with a fix yet your stuck right nnow nvflashing everytime you boot

1) nvflash - bekit's 1105 image (nvflash _gtablet_2010110500.zip)
2) wipe data/cache
3) Install CWM
4) reboot into CWM
5) repartition 2048 and 0
6) nvflash bekit's 1105 image again
7) wipe data/cache
If you get any error at any step (especially during the nvflash) stop and let me know. If you're not sure how to do any of those steps I'll be happy to point you in the right direction.
I'm hoping to have something better than this in the next few days but for now this is the best we have to get you working at a good factory load.
Ok. What do I do for steps 2-5 thanks for the help.

5) Once in CWM, Look for partitioning under Advanced menu. Select it and answer the two questions 2048 and 0. This will take a few minutes.
update: Ok I think its out of its APX loop (somehow) Now in version 1.0-2638.
Another update:
Boy am I a dumbass. When I put the thing back together I put the VOL key in backwards.... DOH! CW mod is working fine.
I'm guessing I need to update stock software to get best results now? Is that possiblcard if I can't get it to boot in anything but APX anyway???
The best I've been able to do is using the NVFlash found here: http://droidpirate.com/2011/03/10/g-tab-users/
I can see the viewsonic splash for a split second at startup when holding the Vol+ and power then back to APX
I was hoping the data wipe would clear the loop. What ROM did you have on the device before all this started?

Two things... First, I cannot help you effectively if you choose to use resources other than those I recommend. I have no idea what is in that nvflash from droidpirate nor do I have the time to research each and every one so please use the references I provide.
Second, Are you absolutely certain that you're holding down the Volume Up key to go into recovery? You'd be amazed how many folks (myself included) make a mistake here every now and then.
update: Ok I think its out of its APX loop (somehow) Now in version 1.0-2638.
Still can't boot into CW. (VOL+ + Power) DLed version 8 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865017
I'm guessing I'm unbricked but just using wrong CWMod version
is this the one I need?
I guess it depends on which ROM I'd like to run correct? If you could reccommend one and help me get there that'd be great.
That one should work fine for the ROM's on here. If you're going to use the VS stock 4349 build or one of Roebeet's ROM's from slatedroid then you'll need to use the one compiled for the 1.2 development branch.

I'm guessing I need to update stock software to get best results now? Is that possible without wifi as I won't have that until the weekend?
I've re-partitioned the SD card.
I'm going to try and get TNT light 4.2.1 from droidpirate to run
looks like TNT Lite 4.2.1 went on OK. Thanks for the help and remember + is on the right
Glad you got it working. Enjoy!

Hi,
I'm in the APX loop and have been unable to progress through these instructions.
My error was that I successfully flashed CWM v08 and Vegan, then tried to use ROM Manager to switch to Cyanogen. ROM Manager forced me to update the CWM to 2.xx, and then on the reboot it had the 'Magic' error.
I've done NVFlash and can get into TnT but can't get past the APX loop to install the CWM (as per step 3) - my holding down power + vol+ just results in a black screen, then when I check for APX mode, it is still in that mode.
Step 2 (clear cache) forces a reboot - is that right? I've tried the other method of clearing cache ('Method I').
Any ideas? I only got this thing a few hours ago, lol!

Ok, I know this has been posted before, but I can't find my specific problem and I've tried just about everything here and other web sites with no luck.
facts;
1. cannot load CWM any more (stuck at "booting recovery kernel image")
2. cannot load anything into internal memory. I can see a drive show up on my computer but it tells me to insert a disk.
3. APX usb driver works, ran nvflash (different versions) successfully but tablet does not reboot by it self afterwards. it hangs where it reads "Entering NvFlash recovery mode / Nv3p Server"
4. tried recovery through external sd card with no luck.
PLEASE HELP!!!! REALLY LIKE ANDROID AND DON'T WANT TO TRY IPAD.
Look in my signature. Code red.
thx goodintentions, but i just tried code red, double red, tripple red and detox. Everything seems to execute fine during nvflash. My computer starts running the bat file and my tablet displays "Entering NvFlash recovery mode / Nv3p Server"
computer finishes bat and reads to press enter, i press enter and window closes, but my tablet never leaves the black screen with the same message "Entering NvFlash recovery mode / Nv3p Server".
Even when i do DETOX my screen displays the red "magic value mismatch" message like it says in your steps, then i nvflash again and i'm back to square one. with 3 birds and no CWM. Any other suggestions?

According to rajeevvp, sometimes formating the MISC partition can fix the tablet not booting into recovery/CWM. I have had other users try this and it has worked for them. Save the attachment with a .bat extension, drop in your nvflash folder & execute it. Power down the gtab after running it and then try restarting in recovery mode.

Did you make sure to wipe data right after nvflash? Did you use the right nvflash file (the one with cwm pre-installed)?

Formatting the "misc" partition is useful only for some specific cases, and this doesn't seem to be one of those. Here, the problem seems to be that he's not able to boot into recovery mode which suggests a CWM problem, possibly due to a bootloader/kernel mismatch.
You should wipe the misc partition if:
1. Every reboot goes into recovery mode.
2. You get a message everytime from the bootloader saying:
Detect a recovery command
Erasing MSC

If your stock recovery to CWM recovery process was botched or aborted, then you should wipe the cache partition also.

Did you use the correct version of CWM for your bootloader? Try loading the latest CWM-4.0.1.5. Use the nvflash command as indicated in the thread with a "--go" tacked on at the end.

Did you go to "mounts and storage", then select "mount USB storage"? If you did, and the drive still appears unformatted, then you'll have to repartition the internal SD card. (There are other ways of fixing this problem without losing (too much) data, but it's fairly advanced involving some command line work in CWM.)

For nvflash to reboot the gtablet, the command line you use has to have a "--go" at the end. If you don't, then the bootloader will wait for additional commands. This is the normal behaviour. Did your command (actually, the final one if there were a sequence of nvflash command lines) have a "--go" at the end?
thanks everybody for your input.
rajeevvp , i downloaded CWM-4.0.1.5 but don't quite understand the instructions for execution. (sorry still a newbee).
also, if "mounts and storage" is in a menu of the actual tablet then i can't access it.
NOW THE NEW. in desperation I took it appart and unplugged the battery and tried discharging the caps. still nothing. THEN in even further desperation i shorted a couple of the battery wires wile tablet was ON trying to load the kernel and my tablet went into CWM... this was reproduceable and it loaded CWM every time BUT even thou i could get into CWM I could not actually execute anything from it because it would not detect me touching the HOME button to execute. sooo still stuck.

This makes me wonder now if you followed goodintentions's code red/.../detox steps correctly: If you've correctly completed any of the code ... procedures listed on the viewsonic g-tablet for dummies site before, then you should not have any trouble with the nvflash instructions for installing CWM-4.0.1.5. Put the tablet into APX mode (Power and Vol [-] key) and then just run the command as listed on your desktop PC.

From the frying pan into the fire now, I would say.
What was previously a fixable problem may now have become unfixable. The first order of business is to get the soft-keys working again. Check for loose and unattached cables. When the keys start working again, try installing just CWM after putting the gTab into APX mode. If you have a 1.1 bootloader:
Code:
C:\> [B].\nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-smb_a1002_bl1.1.img --go[/B]
Get the bootloader.bin file from one of the zip files on goodintentions's web site. You can use any version of the bootloader.bin file as long as it is for the gTablet, but, for the "--go" parameter to reboot the tablet, the bootloader and the kernel installed should match (ie. 1.1 bootloader should have a 1.1 kernel). The bootloader.bin is just executed and not written permanently anywhere.
If CWM doesn't stick, then see this post.
thanks, i"ll be dedicating a couple of hours to this, wish me luck.
first five lines of the readme for the drivers

this should put the device in fastboot mode.
Well you can't boot into the bootloader from adb. I tried the adb reboot bootloader and all it did was reboot the tablet. no bootloader nothing. And holding down both volume buttons and restarting doesn't do it either (like it does for other devices)
we have APX mode, which is the only bootloader mode we can access. unfortunately, NVFLASH hasn't been updated for Tegra 3 devices.. so we cannot use it
Found the mode to do a factory reset outside of the Honeycomb OS.
1- Shutdown the tablet
2- Hold the vol down while you hit the power button
3- Release both buttons and don't hit anything and it should take you to a screen with a flashing cursor on either the Android bot or the icon that says Wipe data.
4- Use the vol down to change between the 2 modes. Use the vol up to confirm your choice.
DO NOT CONFIRM TO WIPE YOUR DATA! I'm not responsible if you do. If you think that you just might have the bad luck and choice the wipe data by accident, don't even bother to go here.

It uses ADB PIDs, trying to force install drivers..

the recovery i found is meant for CWM if a dev decides to create CWM for the TP. As for now, i don't know... it looks for something then goes to a warning (!) screen. im wondering if its connecting to /sdcard/ and looking for a file for recovery or what.. hmmm
--thread apparently got moved. nice.
our only hope looks like NVFLASH for now.. but we need to find out the SBK for our device first and have it incorporated into NVFLASH so we can use it..the Android.Mobi are gonna have to do that :/
Hi,
A few days ago, I tried to flash the androwook prime rom, but didn't succeed.
My prime is now stuck on the ASUS bootlogo, I can access to fastboot : http://imgur.com/xO2Jw

Hi,
A few days ago, I tried to flash the androwook prime rom, but didn't succeed.
My prime is now stuck on the ASUS bootlogo, I can access to fastboot : http://imgur.com/xO2Jw

The first thing you need to do is enable NVFlash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774352
Once you do that you can continue tinkering with the device
The screen you linked to is the bootloader screen not the recovery screen. to enter the recovery you have to press vol down, on the RCK icon. If you loaded the recovery successfully it should load, if not you need to try to install it again because something did not work correctly.
Word of caution recoveries do not work yet with JellyBean so if you load a JB rom, do not try to load a recovery, this is what almost bricked my device, but thanks to NVFlash i was saved.
Good Luck and Happy Modding!

I think he already has nvflash or he wouldn't have the rck icon.
to enter recovery he uses volume up on the icon not volume down. volume down selects it.
recoveries work fine as long as you are restoring a jb rom and using twrp.

I don't have NVFlash, stock device a week old and I have the RCK icon when I hold Vol Down and power on.
I never used NVFlash.
I have the recovery icon but when I select it (as on the picture), there is a text saying "Booting recovery kernel image" and then nothing else happends.
Since i could not turn off the device, i let it run out of battery yesterday. So i recharged it, and now I can't access fastboot anymore, when I do power + vol down I end up on the asus boot logo...

hmm, I installed nvflash and got that icon straight after so presumed it had come from that as I never had it before.

If you had held the power off button for 10 seconds the device should have restarted.

The problem is that I could not turn it off, so it normaly went out of battery.
Today I wanted to try NVFlash so I recharged my prime, and when I wanted to boot it and put it in fastboot mode I couldnt get to the selection screen (with RKV, Android, Fastboot, Wipe). It just boots on the asus boot logo.
