i installed cm7 on my touchpad last week and everything went fine. so i tried to install it on my friends 32 gb touchpad and i get stuck in a bootloop. moboot seemed to install fine becuase i have the boot menu working, cwm works, but when i try to load cm7 i get the green pic that says cyanogenmod loading but after that it goes back to the hp logo and starts over. i can boot into webos just fine but cm7 gives me the run around. ive tried doing a factory reset, wiping the cache and dalvik cache from cwm but nothing. i even tried making a nandroid backup from my 32 gb touchpad and tried to copy that to my friends touchpad but i got an error in the restoring process. ive also tried reinstalling the zip through cwm and through the acmeinstaller. do i have to doctor it and try again? has anyone run into this problem?
thanks
I have the exact same problem on my touchpad. I've tried every single option I can think of (I've reset everything, re-installed WebOS 5 times, cleared all caches, attempted to install from zip, etc.), at one point I did have it boot into Android once, but when I came back the next morning it had rebooted and was sitting at the CM7 screen frozen and wouldn't boot back into CM7. I'm thinking it has something to do with corrupt memory on a certain sector of the flash, so I've been looking for a way to format the entire partition and then try a WebOS doctor, but there doesn't seem to be any information on it. So... I'd say we're stuck for now.
I installed alpha 1 and it was working well with the usual hiccups. Then I backed up alpha 1 and flashed alpha 2.1 and it installed.
The update was working great and then I decided to check the reboot to Web OS to check how things work. Web OS worked great then I booted to cm7 and got the dreaded boot loop.
Tried reflashing over and over but same result. Luckily I had backed up first alpha so I restored it and it did boot loop again, but only once this time,before booting into rom.
So I believe the issue has something to do with alpha 2.1.

Could be, my one successful boot in Android was in Alpha 1. I may be experiencing a somewhat different issue as mine only boot loops sometimes, others it just sits with the CM7 circle spinning until I force it to restart. I'll see if I can get Alpha 1 to work again.
Doin some Googling I found a thread on Google code with people that have the same problem, no fix as of last night when I checked but I subscribed to the thread to Ger notified when it is updated. Don't know if xda will allow a link to the thread so if you want the link pm me and ill send it to you

Im very dissapointed, my Streak has gone to silicone heaven and there is no reason for this either.
I got up this morning, got dresst and went to work as normal, I noticed my Streak vibrated in my pocket so when I got to work I had received a text so I proceed to unlock the device only to find it lagging to death and generally un-responsive.
This cleared and I started writing my responce to the text and the haptic feedback stopped and then the phone became fully un-responsive, so it was time for a bettery pull, I did this a further 3 times as it kept locking up (I though it was due to a media player I installed from the market last night so was going to uninstall it but it wasnt in the list of installed apps)
Then after the 3rd reboot I was then stuck at the boot screen and it would not go any further, I have gone into the recovery menu, cleared partitions etc etc and still its the same, I have also flashed back from DJ_steve 1.6.1 to 1.5.1 in the vein hope that it was something to do with 1.6.1, but no still the same.
Im going to try and put a stock rom on there and see what happens (as im able to flash etc etc it just seems to be when something is initializing during boot)
Im just wondering if anyone else has had this issue?
Try going to 1.5.1, allow it to boot fully. Go back into Recovery and do a factory reset. Option 4 in the Dell Menu, not StreakMod/ClockWorkMod. Allow 1.5.1 to fully boot up again. Go back to recovery and then flash 1.6.1 Hopefully this should get you up and running again. Do remember that 1.6.1 will take a while to boot up the first time.

Hi Edrill, thanks for the response, I have flashed 1.5.1 back on and factory reset, at 1st it didnt work but I tried again and was in the front room and I heard my alert tone back up and running on 1.5.1 think ill stick with that for now as its 2.2 anyways.
Thanks again bud.
No problem! Glad I could help.
Now that you've got a factory-resetted phone, going up to 1.6.1 shouldn't create any issues really. Just that the first boot after flashing 1.6.1 may take unusually longer than the first boot on any previous build, is all.

Ive opted for 1.5.3 for the time being, I had that for a few weeks without any issues so going to stick to that and see how the phone goes.
For now she's up and running without any issues *touches wood*
OK:
Briefly, Running fine on VEGAn 7 RC 1 with Pershoot's latest. When the Tab was running and booting, I made a full backup in CWMod.
Screwed around with some permissions and once I rebooted, ended up at VEGAn Tab pulsating Boot Screen. It would do its thing for a minute or so, screen would go blank and then return immediately to the same VEGAn Tab screen (i.e., not a full boot).
Not a problem, right? I just booted into CWMod, cleared out everything and restored my earlier backup.
No go. Same loop at the VEGAn screen.
I searched the forums a lot, so either I am not very good at searching or this has not been addressed.
Advice would be appreciated, as this is not the first time I have been here and want to learn if there is a way to repair it (obviously, I can reflash ROM+Kernel) restore via Titanium and only have a little manual recovery left to do.
Thanks!
I had the same thing happen to me while i was changing around roms. I know its not the exact thing but regardless. Anyways, try mounting your tab in cwm as USB and pull your back up off the tabs memory. Go back to cwm and wipe everything, then repartition to advised settings. Remount your tab as usb and put the back up back on your drive and restore again. It may work.

If its something simple, clearing the Dalvik Cache in CWM might fix it.
I appreciate the ideas. Unfortunately i have tried then all. One of the times this has happened i was messing around with the old two taps xoom. Of i knew anything about the really technical stuff i might speculate something to do with boot loader.
Oh for anyone here who bricks, Don't freak... sometimes i do several times a day and have always come back from it ... mostly using the advice of all the brilliant people here, occassipnaly by messing around with adb, and once i let my monkey push random keys since he had already managed to compose a sonata...
I had Vegan Ginger Edition running and it was working great. I decided to Factory Reset the tablet. I used Settings|Privacy|Factory Reset.
But it went into endless reboots, I think. What it was doing is that the screen that says Vegan Tab Ginger Edition comes and it does the animation (shocking and flashing), and it does this like 3 times and then the screen goes blank for a second or so and then the animation starts again, and so on, and it keeps on repeating forever and then it would turn off automatically.
I booted into recovery Clockwork Recovery, and tried to do wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, etc, but nothing helped.
I eventually ended up in doing Wipe Dalvik Cache. Now it does not even get to that Vegan Tab animation. It now gets stuck at "Powered by G-TABDEVS" screen.
Any suggestions? Do I need to re-install? If so I guess I will have to copy the zip to SDCARD and then install it, since I can't boot at all. Is there any other option?
Ya, just reflash vegan ginger.
I reflashed it. It now moves on and does not stop at G-TABDEVS screen, but it is exhibiting the same problem. Repeated VEGAN-TAB GingerEdition screens.
What do I do?
I just flashed CyanogenMod, and even that exhibits the same issue. I even went in and did mounts and storage>format system as well as format data. And then flashed it. But still the same.
More bad news. I nvflashed bekit's original image. It now is showing the original big eliptical g-tablet logo as it boots up, but it continues to cycle between the birds and the gtablet logo.
CWM is also gone. When I try to go into recovery all it displays is the big triangle with exclamation sign for a second or so and then restarts the tablet going back into the endless cycle.
I am now totally stuck. Please help.
have you ever repartitioned your device using Clockworkmod Recovery?
I've seen the tablet just bootloop on the bootanimiation if you have never repartitioned. Mine did it and so did a friends of mine. Tablet working great for weeks, installed different ROMs then one day a reboot and it just loops the bootanimation. Repartitioned in CWM (2048/0) and the problem never returned.
Of course you need to get CWM back on. Read the threads on NVFlash and you should be able to just nvflash the clockwork image to the device to boot in to CWM. Repartition and reinstall your ROM.

Thank you so much. I got out of this mess. I clearly remember repartitioning 2048/0, but looks like Android Factory Reset corrupted it or something.

Hahaaha, and for the record, my start here page code double red takes care of your problem. Not only that, I've also provided nvflash files with cwm pre-installed.
I swear, it's like people don't read the directions properly anymore.

Hey goodintentions, I know you have good intentions , but I have been working with gtablet mods for quite some time now. Usually when you have a bricked gtablet, you are desperately looking for a solution. That's why I hopped from Vegan to Cyanogen to stock etc within an hour or so. And when you have been working on things for some time, you tend to not look at anything that says "start here". Honestly I had never seen your page before, which by the way is pretty good and would have been a life saver if I had known it.
I wonder... what should I name the page as?
I promise you, my instructions work for 99% of the problems people encounter.

I have no doubt.
I tried installing CM7 before, and screwed up the recovery but managed to fix it using NVflash. I then updated to 1.1 3588 or whatever, then flashed CM7, worked fine.
Saw Vegan ROM so I wanted to try it, and flashed it. I then wanted to check out the new market but the Market kept Force closing. So I tried using CWM to restore the previous Vegan rom but I got a boot loop.
So I nvflashed and tried over from the very beginning but now I can't even get the stock firmware to load. And now I can't even connect in APX mode.
NV Flash says USB device not found.
What do I do...

So, you can get ot APX mode on the Gtablet, right? You might need to reinstall the drivers on your PC. This happened to me before. Try reinstalling the drivers and see if it detects it.
Okay I'll try that, thank you!
I don't think I'm going to attempt getting the newer market if I manage to fix this lmao
Update: I got stock firmware loaded and it turns on now thank god. But when I go to update the tablet to bootloader 1.1 3588, it downloads then reboots, but when it reboots it just shows an android guy with an exclamation mark in a triangle.
Anyone know what this means?
Edit:: Apparently you need an SDcard inserted. Maybe that was my issue this entire time :S
I'm stuck in a boot loop at the Vegan-Tab GingerEdition screen. I think I'll just leave it for a while? It's been playing the same animation for the past couple minutes.
Or is there something wrong with my installation?
Okay last update, finally fixed the tablet.
For anyone else having the same issues here's what I did to fix it.
I put in an SDCARD so that I could fix my nvflash of stock boot loop error. Finally loaded that ROM, rebooted and got bootloader 1.1 and moved vegan zip to my sdcard. I rebooted, installed vegan ROM, then as I was restarting my tablet I removed my sdcard and it works perfectly.
Of course I tried a bunch of random stuff in between, but I think that's what did it for me.
Thanks for your help TJ
Okay so I wanted to try Brilliant Corners 1.3 ROM so I decided to flash back to stock TNT, update to 1.1 3588 then flash 1.2.
But when I flashed stock TNT it now gets stuck in a bootloop and I have no access to boot into recovery. Just shows a triangle with an exclamation mark. I tried with and without a memory card inserted. Anyone got any clues what I should try flashing now?
Edit: reflashing CWM finally worked. Repartitioned the SDcard now trying to reflash stock TNT
It's curious to me why sometimes I have to flash 3 or 4 times before it will work?
Hey guys,
Not exactly what to make of this which is why I'm posting. Here's the run down. Started off running Scamble_v01.3[CM6.1.3] for quite some time with everything just fine. About 2 weeks back, decided it was finally time to step it up to a Gingerbread ROM, and went with Wolfbreak's. For the first week, everything ran perfectly fine. This past week, I started to have issues with it rebooting every time I would run an app. Finally, this morning, it rebooted, and then just as it would get to the lock screen, it would say formatting SD card and then reboot. It would continue to do this repeatedly. I tried reinstalling in xRecovery (mind you I did Factory Reset (Full wipe), Wipe Cache Partition, & Wipe Dalvik Cache as well).
With high hopes, I restarted it. Unfortunately, this didn't change anything. I took my microSD card out and put Wolfbreak's updated ROM on it which just came out in hopes that maybe the file was corrupted somehow, just to find that when I tried to install it through xRecovery it, gave me an error that it couldn't because the SD card was busy. Stated in his ROM even, it says that you need to backup the ROM just for this very reason, however the only backup I had was of Scamble_v01.3[CM6.1.3] since I found it pointless to try and back up a messed up ROM.
Not knowing what else to try, and knowing that that was the last stable state my x10 was in, I restored that. Once again, it did nothing as far as the boot loop. I've gotten to the point where I have used FlashTool to flash the Generic Gingerbread ROM which just as all the others, gets to the first screen (which asks me to choose a language) and then reboots.
I'm completely stuck here and can't think of what I may be missing here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe give flashtool a go, just flash one of the stock firmwares.
Already tried that. As stated before, it gets to the first screen which prompts me to chose a language, and then immediately reboots
