So this time I'm going to be a little preemptive. I ordered a GTab like a week ago, spent the time waiting for it to get here doing a ton of reading so I could go ahead and get it flashed right away. It got here and I immediately ran into problems. I got CWM on there no problem and first flashed [ROM-AOSP]G-Harmony Gingerbread 2.3.3 with Honeycomb elements(UPDATED 4/17) with no problem. Didn't like it so tried to flash the CM7 nightly (which I have running on my evo and hero) and it kept getting stuck on the black screen with that just had "android" written on it really small. Since I hadn't anticipated running into something like that, I did even more reading. Decided to try some more roms and see if I had similar problems. Ran into similar problems with the vegan GB except it would hang on the powered by the "gtabdevs" screen or whatever it said. Vegan 5.1 or whatever the other Vegan one is I could get booted up fine though. So I read some mroe since I really wanted CM7. Discovered that I might need to re-partition, so went into CWM and repatitioned to what everyone was saying was the correct settings. Still a no go and got stuck on android screen. So after even more reading I kept seeing everyone saying NVFlash. So I found it, downloaded everything, read the sticky post on how to do it like 4 times before trying it, then gave it a shot. Put the tab into APX mode (vol- and power) and flashed everything and then when it was done, it was stuck in the APX mode. Very irritating considering I had only had it for about 6 hours. Anyways, sent it back and am getting a new one. It will be here tomorrow morning.
Sooooo, after that long winded explanation of everything, here is my question... How the **** can I get CM7 on my tab without wrecking it again? I did a ton of reading, and nothing I had seen helped at all. Everyone says wipe this and wipe that, or mount these then wipe those, or nvflash then do it and so basically I'm just not sure what to do. I WILL NOT use the nvflsh again and risk getting the APX loop, so any good advice would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I just email walked my sister through installing CM7 on her new gtablet.
Have CM7harmony7.02.zip (or whatever.....7.02 is latest stable release....there is a newer nightly though if you prefer that), the gapps.zip on your computer.
install Clockworkmod recovery on your tablet like you did before.
Boot into CWM and partition sd card, 2048 for first partition and 0 for the second one.
attache via USB to your computer, mount usb option in CWM and copy the ROM.zip and the Gapps.zip to your tablet. Eject tablet from computer (USB eject) and unmount in CWM.
- wipe data/cache (factory reset)
- advanced, - wipe davlik cache
install .zip from sd card
(install the ROM, then choose to install .zip from sd card again and install gapps).
Reboot.
Make sure your tablet is NOT running OS 3991 (very unlikely) or 4349 (possible though unlikely) before doing any of this. (ie...boot tablet out of box and check it's OS version in settings).
Thanks for the walk through. Hopefully it will go smoothly this time around. I'll post back tomorrow after it gets here on if it worked out or not.
If it does have one of those 2 versions on it, I assume I just use the down grader from the thread taking about those 2 versions?

Correct, downgrade and then proceed.
Even though I'm 100% sure that at some point of me trying last time that I did in fact do all of those steps, it was a no go.....But this time, I'm sitting here watching the CM7 boot screen
Thanks a ton
I gyus,
do you think we will ever see built 4349 again from ViewSonic? I'm waiting to see it again for weeks now... nothing.
Should I wait or do the manual flash, unless you guys tell me it's a very buggy ROM.
Thanks,
Charles
If your gonna stay stock then flash it. If you want to run mods and custom kernels don't

I'd think twice before manually flashing. I have tried this at least a half dozen times and it didn't work. I followed instructions to a tee and have sufficient experience flashing the G-Tab. For some reason I can install any 1.1 based ROM with no issues but when trying to move to a 1.2 based ROM or the Stock 4349 ROM, my G-Tab shuts down right after the 3-Birds screen or just goes to a blank screen. I always flash back to stock 3588 (with no CWM) before trying to move to a 1.2 ROM as suggested by others. I also have tried wiping cach, data resets, etc.. I must have NVFlashed this thing 20 times in the last week. I have decided to stay with stock 3588 until either VS puts out an OTA 4349update or someone develops a HC Rom.
Well,
I'm sitting on the fence with the above answers?
anyone else?
Charles
you can safely use 'newbl' custom kernel (from myself) if you are running 4349 stock (with the new bootloader).
check droidbasement (ive just updated the compatibility).

Did you try upgrading to 4349 using stock recovery from 3588. Just name it update.zip from bone stock 3588. BC 1.2 is now being distributed with pershoots kernel, just update with it from 4349 when you get there. If memory serves me this is how I did it.

I sure did. I have tried everything I could find in thr forums. Partitioned internal SD, wiped cache, factory reset...Everything appears to go right until it reboots to a back-lit black screen.
I am certainly not the expert here, but did you copy the recovery folder with the command file to root? In other threads concerning this type of problem, that seemed to be the cause. Actually, I do not think it would update at all without it, should not be the problem. Once you get 3588 up and running do a factory reset. Verify partition size. Still not working, give up until someone smarter than me can offer advice.

While on my own tablet I haven't had any serious trouble with this, I've found that flashing back to 3588 isn't always quite enough to prepare for the update to 4349. It seems to be much more reliable to flash or nvflash down to 3398 or below then OTA or manually update to 3588. I also make sure to clear/wipe everything before beginning the process and then again when it's complete.
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.
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.

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.
so my gtab will only show the three birds, i took the cover of the back and held down the reset button and it turned off then back on to the same screen. I even tried to nv flash it and it says that it currently update. Im not even able to get into recovery mode. Am i screwed or did i miss something, im sorta new to this stuff....thanks
1. What rom were you using?
2. Which version of CWM are you using?
3. What were you doing to the tablet when it froze like that?
There's a lot of things that can go wrong and which NVflash you use (250m partition or 350m partition) is going to be determined by which rom you wish to run.
The Gtablet for dummies site really helped me out while I was starting off, but it appears its no longer online.
Going to need some more info and I'll try to help as best and as fast as possible, but real life keeps me pretty busy most of the time.

i had ics, not sure what version, clock i think was 5. something. i know that this dont help much. i was able to get it working,
what i was trying to do was get it back to the way it came new so i could start all over with a new rom. Now i found what i thought was the stock rom but all it will do is sit on the screen where it says gtablet, i even let it sit over night,while i was at work and still the same screen.
Nobe (has some kick ass roms) has already done the legwork in another thread, try this:

first download, should but you back at stock with a 1.2 branch ready to go.
I know it sucks, I've NVflashed dozens of times to work off of stock, I still get a little jittery every time I load another rom.

so i tried reloading ics 4 beta that i had, after it said everything was installed and went to reboot it and just sat on the screen with birds. im able to turn off, go into recovery, and apx. So my father in law installed the 350 zip and jellybean 5.3 on his with no issues. i followed the same video he did and it said that everything installed good until i went to reboot, there it got stuck on the bird screen but im still able to do nvflash, apx and power down....Am i screwed ??

You may also try the detailed instructions by Raywaldo (Google Raywaldo for his site) on installing new ROMs on GTablet. In my opinion Smoother Bean v 1.5 (by nobe1976) is the best/fast ROM for this device.
