I had a working Cyanogen 7 flashed on the gTablet. And due to enthusiasm, I updated with one of the nightly builds and started seeing some issues.
I assumed that clearing the cache and rebooting would help and ended up doing the 'Wipe Cache Partition'. Now the tablet wont boot at all. But I guess its not bricked at all since I am able to get to CWM.
What do I need now to get back to CM7?
Also my search on what the 'wipe cache partition' function doesn't give me the full picture. Now I know that I shouldn't have done it in the first place. But being affected by it I request if one the Gurus on XDA's please shed some lite.
Regards and thanks for the help in advance.

Hopefully a guru can answer this question. A guru I am not..
But what I think you did should not be an issue. I typically wipe data and then wipe cache partition when flashing a new ROM. sometimes I wipe cache and data just to get the ROM running from scratch again. But this should not affect booting..
One thing I think might be the problem is that you have a new kernel from one of the newer nightlys. Recently they added perhsoots May kernel. Whenever a new kernel is included in a nightly you usually need to clear dalvik cache. this is in CWM under advanced.
I hope this helps.
Tried clearing dalvik cache. No change.
Going back to stock and see.
Copied the stock ROM file and used the CWM to do the update. Now the g Tablet is gioing into a Boot loop. It Tap n Tap then displays a animated icon and after a minute repeats the same.
Tried the recovery option and its going into an installing loop again. Not sure how to get out of this.
Does anybody have this experience before?
Is this bricked now? Call viewsonic support? I am not sure if they support, They may say its nor under warranty.
Just to remind you, the last effort to resolve this is to NVFLash it...
Have you tried CWM method twice or repartition it and do it again? It's a tablet for you to enjoy your Internet, reading, video but not flashing all day long..etc
To pass it quick, if I were you, I would NVFlash it back to 3588, put back my favorite ROM, reinstall the Apps I like and start Internet browsing, converting movie (so I can watch on the road), reading news...
good luck!

After this I definitely agree. But seems I am stuck again. Hope this is the last time.
I followed the steps as in the below URL
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1040434.html
My PC successfully connected to the gTablet and did the bvflash. After that I booted, it still went into the same. I am not sure if the nvflash worked at all.
Not sure what I am missing here!
Called Viewsonic support and the tech support person pointed me to below post on XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036956
When I read the article it talks about a locked boot loader. Does is mean if I use this and fix the tablet, I will not be able to do any more rooting?

So you also tried the alternate file, nvflash_gtablet_46_2010112600.zip? That's what worked for me, but I also have to swap partitions 7 & 8 to get CM7 working again.
Since I'm a glutton for punishment, I wiped my cache from nightly 75 and didn't run into any problem.
Just downloaded the alternate zip and flashed again. Having the same looping issue.
Seems like I Have to send it to viewsonic only. The technician said there is a $75 charge to fix.
hey guys, been here since the launch of evo. rooting, flashing, everything.
today i wanted to switch roms. so i went about my normal process...
d/l new ROM
backup current ROM
backup apps
wipe cache and dalvic
flash new ROM
i got stuck on the last step. i went to flash the new ROM (nocturnal 1.3)
it said something along the lines of blah blah is already unmounted. i didnt pay too much attention to it because i was going to restart and try again. long story short, it will only boot to htc white screen and nothing else.
can anyone help me out?
p.s. im on clockwork recovery
PLEASE CLOSE
did you not wipe system and data? I am not super skilled, but maybe it tried to stick the entire ROM into the left over space of the last ROM that is still on there?
It won't boot to recovery? It should boot to recovery

The error message you received is going to be the key to understanding the issue that occured. When it says unmounted, it is referring to a specific partition, either /data or /system most likely.
For starters, when it hangs on the htc white screen, this is usually either a kernel or ramdisk issue. If the kernel is known to be good, then it is probably a ramdisk issue. most ramdisk issues relate to a mismatch/incompatibility between the loaded kernel and the ROM.
First suggestion would be to reflash the ROM, clearing /cache and /data.
Second suggestion would be to restore a backup. This will confirm there is nothing wrong with your device hardware wise and you'll know it is a specific issue with the ROM you wanted to load.
Third suggestion, find the exact error, word for word, which occured in recovery and post up in the ROM thread asking if other users of that ROM also encountered, how they handled. Also feel free to post back up here.
When writing the programming behind a custom recovery, the error messages are added in there to help allow users and developers better knowledge of the exact issue so they can work to resolve them. Without the exact error message, it is similar to going to a car shop and saying, some light came on my dash, but I don't know what it was and now the car doesn't work. Fix it? Another words, it is very vague.
Hope the suggestions and tips help! Good luck!
my first instinct was to reflash the backup or new rom again but it wont boot to any rom, recovery or bootloader. it just hangs on the htc white screen
idk what happened but i got into the bootloader through battery pull, power+vol down. i know ive tried that in the past but this time it worked. now im restoring a nandroid from yesterday

You missed a step. After you wipe dalvik and cache, you ALWAYS need to wipe /system and /data, do a factory reset to make sure, or download a superwipe tool. The ONLY time you don't need to wipe completely is when you're updating your ROM, but even then it is recommended to wipe everything.

Greetings
As the tittle points outs, I flashed the latest Androwook Rom(2.1) and it always stucks at the Intro Crawl. I re-downloaded it, flashed it again, but had had no success.
The Prime has been unlocked since May, and it was running the Cyanogen Nightly Rom, before I tried the Wook one. I wiped Cache and Delvik, and tried an older build as well with no success. I use the latest TWRP, 2.1.3. I also tried all availlable kernels and options during the installation with no success.
Can anyone give me a hint as to what is the problem? I can always go back to CM Rom, but I would feel like I accepted defeat.
Also, why does the installation always wipe my internal sd card , when no such option is selected?

jumping from one rom to another needs a full wipe i guess... when you said wiping your internal sd card, that's the reason why you're stuck into crawling? so i guess you use adb to push the ROM, then flash again?
in my case, when i had a bootlop, i push fullwipe.zip first, flash it, then push Androwook.zip, then flash it... it all came back alive..
First of all, thank you for your reply!
Now, to adress each step

Yup, did one (factory reset+system wipe) before trying to flash AW Rom.

After the first three unsuccessfull attempt to flash the ROM did I wipe my internal SD, so it isn't the crawling looping intro's problem. And yes, I push ROMs via Adb, and trying flashing.
in my case, when i had a bootlop, i push fullwipe.zip first, flash it, then push Androwook.zip, then flash it... it all came back alive..

That was actually the last step I tried before asking for help. Even after I typed this post, I did it again. Flashed it, pushed AW, and flashed again. No success.
*Edit: I have forgotten a primary Troubleshooting technique. Downloading AW2.1 from a different source, will update.
sorry but im not much of a help i can see... hope somebody could. don't lose hope though...
Intentions matter
Thanks for your time anyway!
After two more failed flashes, I got it to boot!
Apparently the starting animation was causing some kind of problem, which I cannot ever imagine. After I checked the option to have the uggly original boot animation, the rom booted normally and I am now using it.
I am quite happy to get it to work, but if anyone has any solution to the boot problem, I would be really glad to hear him!

Hello Everybody! Guys, sorry for my english!!!!!
First of all, I have to present myself, my name is Marco, I'm italian, 25 years old and I'm in the Android world since about 12 Years.
I started whit a Galaxy S2, and after I bought an Asus Transformer Prime.
After just two week, I decided to put in a Custom ROM, on my devices, and I understood how the system work better instead of a Stock ROM!
And after, I understood, how the XDA Developers Forum is important for me, and expecially for all the people who like to learn about the Android World.
So, I just want to Thanks with all of you for the support that i receive EVERY DAY to solve my problems!
One of these was with flashing the Androwook, weeks ago I flashed the Team EOS 2.0, that was really amazing, but after a While, I found some slowdowns in some action on the system, so i decided to try a rom based on the stock rom, but with improvement and tweaks, so what's better then the Androwook?
The problem was, the same explained on this post, after all wipes, the prime was not boot, and stuck in bootanimation!
I solved, checking the box "Install custom ROM" as drsane1984 have done, and now the ROM is booted perfectly!!
Thanks another time! I'am convinced that if you are able to seach, you'll find for sure the solution to your problems! If not, just ask!
Bye!
Hey All,
I've upgraded my 925F to Official MM 6.0.1. Rooted it through kernel Xspace and then installed recovery TWRP_3.0_MM_S6_by_ManhIT
My only concern is when I'm in TWRP I can't reboot, it just freezes.
I can nandroid backup no problem just the reboot part freezes TWRP.
Anyone else had this problem? is there another TWRP to be used?
nb : I tried clearing cache + dalvik, freezes still happen before rebooting.
thanks for ur help.

The issue is not the kernel... its the recovery that doesn't work when reboot to system is touch and is freezing..
Go to advance then terminal
Write reboot
Easy!
Yes i know the iusse is about the recovery but it seems because there is not compatibility between some recovery and some kernel. I tried various recovery 3.0 and i have always a kind of freeze. The TWRP... by Manhit for example gave me freeze with xspace kernel but not with hacker kernel. I don't no the reason....

same but different
Hi All,
I'm experiencing a freeze in TWRP after about a few seconds, the whole recovery stands still and this happens every time.
I flashed the Xspace kernel which hasn't help.
The TWRP from arter97 works great, except it doesn't allow me to copy files to my PC using MTP, message says unexpected error.
yet, the ManhIT and Original TWRP allow me to copy data but both of them freeze up after a few seconds which causing the copying to fail.
Reasons I'm doing this is because my SM-G925F start looping and I've tried flashing stock so many times to no avail.
I'm sure all i need to do is data/ factory wipe and my phone will boot fine, I just really need some data before I do that.
Is there perhaps a different kernel I can try?
or if anyone has any suggestions that would be very much appreciated.
Regards

Thanks for your response callumbr1.
I've attempted two different kernels:
g925-hacker-echoe-kernel-V14.zip
hacker-kernel-S6-Universal-V12.zip
Above mentioned problems persist.
Since arter97 TWRP is not freezing on me, if I run a back up on the Data only. Then perform the wipe, the backup should still be there, correct?
and lets say I flash the stock ROM again if necessary and I'm able to boot the device.
Would it be possible to restore that data back up at all ?
or perhaps copy that back up to my PC and access/extract the files with a separate application?
Many Thanks

I think best thing to do is get an otg storage adapter that plugs direct to phone. They are cheap.
Then run the backup of data and store on otg storage. Then you have it safe and it can be restored at a later time with restore option in twrp.
Or you can always do a full nandroid backup.
Can you get onto the phone now? Does it boot up?
Is there anything specific you need off the phone? To be backed up?

I plan on getting one of those, they seem extremely useful. A colleague has one which I plan to use tomorrow if they remember to bring it, I will then do as you suggest.
Never done a full nandroid back up before but will do some searching on that.
Phone still hangs at the Samsung splash screen.
And its really only pictures and some videos that I want, contacts would be nice too.
PS, this happened when I plugged my device into the PC to charge it was at about 5%, and I was making use of side sync to control the device when it just shutdown. I thought maybe the battery died so left it to charge a bit, it eventually tried to boot up by itself and its been looping ever since. Was really strange cause it gave me no issues prior to this. When I tried to get to the recovery it would hang at the "installing updates" section once I flashed the stock ROM I was able to get to recovery to wipe the cache but no luck.
Thanks for your suggestions much appreciated.

They are really useful, one of the best things ive ever bought regarding my phone. I use it daily now.
As for nandroid backup, it basically backs up absolutely everything including the firmware and data and all partitions. I always do it before flashing or modifying anything. Then if anything goes wrong, you just flash back your nandroid backup.
Can i ask before this happened did you use google photos? If so and sync was on they will all be saved. If you dont use it i reccomend you to use it from now on incase this ever happens in future.
See how you go making the backup when you can then if you need help regarding flashing the stock and getting the phone working ill help

Good day callumbr1
I never made use of google photos, not the biggest fan of cloud storage to be completely honest but I do see its benefits when it comes to times like these. lol
as for the device, last night I flashed a custom recovery (arter97) and made use of the SkipSoft Android ToolKit to pull my photos, videos and documents through the adb protocol. That being said, I have the data I wanted so all is well there.
However, after wiping the cache and doing a data / factory reset. I reflashed the stock ROM, it all goes swell until the android pops up with a message displaying " installing system updates". It gets to 32% changes to erasing then restarts , and this happens constantly no matter how many times I flash it or restart the device.
I read on another forum that my devices is probably dead and it could be the mother board. Any thoughts?
You think maybe a custom ROM would bring it up?

Thats good about your data :good:
As for the little android guy and the installing updates then erasing, this normally happens. It happens every single time i restore and normally boots fine just after its not normally an issue. After yours says erasing does it then just reboot and restart the process of erasing constantly?
What i would suggest first is to flash a different stock ROM, preferably one with newest bootloader.
After flashing, boot to recovery and wipe dalvik cache. If it gets as far as the samsung logo just leave it as the first boot can take a while... like 30 minutes.
If that doesnt work try to flash a custom ROM. I reccomend CarHD ROM. I uave used it for quite some time and no issues.
It deffinately does not sound like motherboard issue. Normally you would have many issues and errors on boot prior to having main board issues.
See how you get on and keep me updated.

It doesn't say erasing after the first time. Right after the flash it will reboot to the blue screen with the android, it displays Installing update with a percentage bar which gets to 32% then that disappears and shows erasing, then again it shows installing update with no percentage bar. The android guy has a two arrows on his chest spinning which eventually stops. The device then reboots. It goes back to the Android guy but this time it shows "installing system update" without the percentage bar, it will then freeze again then reboot. That will continue forever until the battery dies.
After flashing though I can't seem to get to recovery to wipe the cache, I hit the buttons as I always do, but the blue screen and android always appears.
This is the stock ROM I'm currently using:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/105085/G925FXXU4DPJB_G925FXFV4DPJ2_XFV/
Do you perhaps have a link to that custom ROM? would it work fine with the service provider here in SA (Vodacom) ?
And well at least that is some good news, I'm not too keen on having to take this into a shop and pay for parts.

Thats pretty much exactly what happens to mine after restoring or flashing but mine boots up.
Flash the firmware again but in odin options uncheck auto reboot. This time after flashing, the phone should stay off. Then you can boot to recovery.
If that doesnt work, whilst it is on the blue screen with android guy hold only vol down and power, phone will reboot, as soon as the screen goes off switch to recovery combo and this should force it to recovery.

Here is the link to custom ROM, it will work fine on your phone. You need to flash this through TWRP. If you need steps on how to do this please tell me.

Man I think I'm just going to try the custom to see if it works.
Would I need to flash a custom kernel or can it be stock?
After flashing the kernel with twrp I'm going to assume I would follow the same step.
1. flash TWRP custom recovery
2. copy .zip file to sdcard
3. go to recovery, install , select the .zip
Is that it or am I missing anything else when it comes to flashing ROMs through the recovery?

Man I think I'm just going to try the custom to see if it works.
Would I need to flash a custom kernel or can it be stock?
After flashing the kernel with twrp I'm going to assume I would follow the same step.
1. flash TWRP custom recovery
2. copy .zip file to sdcard
3. go to recovery, install , select the .zip

Thats it.
Before installing rom go to wipe in TWRP, wipe data, dalvik, cache and system.
You dont need to flash a kernel though.
However when flashing carhd rom aroma installer will go through some choices, from there you can choose to install arter kernel. I reccomend doing this rather than keeping stock kernel.
Remember once installer complete and rom is installed leave it a while if it hangs on samsung logo screen. It can take a while to boot.

Currently waiting on the custom to download, don't have the quickest internet connection.
while I've been waiting, I've tried the stock ROM again.
something I forgot to mention before, which has happened a few times:
During the blue screen with the droid stating installing updates.
it switches to a screen with a big yellow triangle two dots below it and a dead droid.
After this I get to recovery, I wiped the cache and its getting to the samsung logo but freezes and then restarts all over again.
I'm just curious if you know what the yellow triangle thing means?

I think it normally means a failed update. Sometimes there are instructions to use smart switch other times it just means the update failed.
Try with the custom ROM and keep me updated.
First hello people who'll come here.
So here is the issue. I tried to root my Honor 7 and everythings did well to the moment when i want to leave recovery mode by a reboot. At this moment i was blocked in TWRP. I searched how to leave it and i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845768 but i don't know if it works cause when i managed to leave recovery mode and go in bootloader i totally forget this. I was in bootloader and my first reaction was to change the version of TWRP beacause mine was in chinese so a little bit more complicated. But whith this process i put the phone in a bootloop. So i asked to you if someone could help me first to leave this bootloop without wait for the battery (all passed yesterday but actually the phone do not have enought battery so i managed to go in bootloader mode) and help to leave TWRP if i do again the manipulation.
Thanks in advance.
I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/how-to-root-honor-7-t3170735

so,to leave the bootloop,you need a stock ROM/custom ROM for your device and flash it,it should recovered from bootloop,
and if you try to root it again,i suggest you to use another guide of how to root it and by following your phone model..
Instructions:
1.Download the Stock ROM/Custom ROM for your phone model,make sure the rom is the same model for your device or else,you're gonna be in a bootloop again,all phone model are practically not the same! remember this if you attempting to modified your device
2.after the rom has been downloaded,put the rom in any sd card,and then insert sd card that have the rom in it.
3.in this case,you need to format the system,data,cache, formatting the data is optional though,but if it still bootlooping,consider yourself to format the data,if you want the data to not be erase,dont format it or if you want a clean install,backup the Data
3.Flash the rom using the TWRP recovery that you have installed
4.Reboot to the system
And the problem are gonna fixed
