i have stucked into the yellow page when i was flashing the wrong file of 18-aa upgrade into {update-queenchristina} system
before all of this my device name was mitv box3s
after that i got name sheild android tv as video of youtube named {Convierte Mibox 3s China a Internacional (Mod 19-AA) }
and after flashing wrong file for gapps i got stuck on bootloader of yellow pages and also with not working mi remote. also tried from usb male cable but adb dont shows any devices. even its dont show on screen nor the device name on cmd command.
tried flashing through pen drives but as remote dont work i tried with mi mobile remote. but no worked there too.
as i was using multi port i got to know that my adb debugging is off.. so now the again problem is how to turn adb debugging on from all not working device
This method does not need mouse to perform recovery!!!!
copy latest update.zip to a fat32 formatted thumb drive. Be sure it is designed for mdz-19-aa and is named update.zip
create a text file with no extension that contains the following
--update_package=/udisk/update.zip
--wipe_data
save text file to thumb drive as xiaomi_update (remember, NO EXTENSION)
Sorry, I do not remember the keys to be held on your remote to hold while connecting power to trigger recovery mode.
good luck

I did an NVflash after struggling to load VEGaN 7 for a couple days figuring it was the partition issue that I have read about. Flash went off without a hitch - or so I thought.
I went to flash VEGaN 7 again, but my computer would not recognize connection via USB. Attempted to login to clockwork mod but instead I get message - "booting recovery image".
Thinking a factory reset might somehow free up my USB connection I did a factory reset - now I'm stuck in a bootloop.
So, to review--
I can't connect to PC via USB, Access CWM, or get past the bootloop.
BTW - I noticed while looking for options to connect to USB that it appeared my Internal and external SD cards switched locations after the NV flash. External, although not accessible was 12.9 gig and my internal showed slightly less than 1 gig.
Anyway, is there any hope for my G tab - I have never been so frustrated over such a simple process in my entire life.
sorry looked for a way to move this post to the correct location...

When you NVFlashed, did you use the version with or without CWM. If you did the version without CWM then that would explain no CWM.
When you say you can't connect to PC are you talking about APX mode (NVflash)?
Go here http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/ and follow the instructions for CODE RED step by step. Make sure download everything via the links on the dummies site to make sure you get the right stuff.

No I used the version with CWM, which is why I was suprised to see the "booting recovery image" and then it just continued to boot. I tried both APX via USB and a typical USB connection after loading --where PC gave error "device not identified".

So, just to verify, you hold Vol(-) and press/hold Power, 3 birds appear & screen goes black...that is APX mode. Connect usb cable to PC & what does the PC say?
USB device not recognized -
Still having that problem with USB device not recognized.
However, I have gone to ...for dummies site and reflashed device using the "flash USB driver" to temorarily gain access with USB connection. With NVFlash I Am back to having clockworkMod and working GTab with original software 1.1
Again going to flash rom - but Upon connecting USB i get the message "USB device not recognized" - I have attmpted to mount USB through CWM, but still getting that same error.

If your tab boots, you don't have to use CWM/mount & storage to transfer your rom to the internal sd. Put your external in your PC, copy the rom to it, move back to the tab & copy to your internal. There are also other ways to transfer it but we can talk about that later if you like.
If that works you can still flash your rom & then we can work on getting the usb up.
So, the usb not recognized is when you try to connect after your tab is either all booted up or in CWM mount & storage (and not when you are in APX mode doing NVFlash)?
If you look in device manager what does it show?
Try connecting your tab to a differet PC & see it detects it correctly?
If it works on another PC, you may want to tryto use USBDview http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html to look at the USB dvices that are connected or have been connected to your PC. You can find the gTab devices in the list & then use it's command line options (see instructions included with it) to remove(uninstall) them from the PC. Then you can reconnect to see if it will detect & install the driver correctly.
Can't use external load on pc to transfer rom. No card access.
USB did work in apx mode following instructions in code red. I thought of usin another pc and duplicated the failed results there.
Device manager showed yellow exclamation mark and would'n't install any driver I pointed it to (both computers) Unknown USB device.
Btw I want to thank you for trying to help me out on this. You people who lend your knowledge are commendable.

OK, try this. We are going to use Mobisynapse to wirelessly transfer files to & from your PC to the tab.
Download mobisynapse from my dropbox http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36150173/Mobisynapse.exe & install on your PC.
From your gTab, download Mobisynapse system tool from my dropbox to your tab & install http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36150173/com.mobisystems.office_registered-1.apk.
Start the app on the tab, click More & select Connect to PC to switch it to ON.
Start the Mobisynapse on your PC, it shoud see your tab, once it sees it click connect.
From there, go to the Files icon & you should see an Explorer type screen. PC on the left, tablet on the right. You can transfer files in either direction. Transfer your Rom files or whatever you want.
Let me know when you have downloaded the apps from my dropbox so I can remove them.

I downloaded them and installed, on tab it shows up as officesuite. When I run it "more" is not an option. On pc it simply says (can not connect to android device) under "choose devices". I did turn on USB debugging on tab.

Do I need to create a "roms" folder, and is it supposed to be the zip folder or the files within the zip folder?

It's easier that way, that way you can easily differntiate it from other files/folders. If you create the folder, then put the zipped rom inside the folder.
I turned connect to pc on. Running mobisynapse on pc it sees the tab just fine. I click connect and it pulls up info about tab, BUT when I go to files tab --- right side of screen is greyed out. It won't transfer files.

Third icon from the left...looks like a little file cabinet.
lol, yeah 3rd from left...
It seems to connect just fine, but under the file tab I can only see files from the PC on the left - the right side doesn't show any files and all buttons are greyed out. Again, under the home tab I have access to the GTab just fine. I can see apps, contacts, etc. but under file tab - no files on right side and buttons are not accessable.
So do you see the left (PC side)? Is the right side populated at all & what is in the drop down folder box (should be /sdcard)!
Hey Streakers,
I am using DSC 1.4 on my streak. I wanted to try the OTG feature and ordered an OTG cable.
And I have to say: it works! I can use a PC-keyboard or a mouse. But I have one problem with the automount-function of a usb flash drive.
When I plug the drive+the cable to my streak for the first time, I can read the content on /mnt/usbdisk.
But when I unplug the flash drive and plug the same again, or another flash drive, nothing happens. That means the folder is emty.
After a reboot it works again. Is there a way to mount the flash drive manually with the console? Or any other trick?
Thanks for your answers and a special thanks to everyone who keeps this device alive!!! :good:
i remember hunterteins was facing similar problem and got it resolved.
Maybe PM'ing him would help?

I newer got around, why that happend. In the end I thought it must have been a broken self-soldered cable.
Another show stopper can be an open file on the USB device. As long as some process is accessing a file in /mnt/usbdisk/ automount via vold will not work.
Lastly you may take a look into the Q5 USB Memory Manager from hxxp://android.gval.biz/
Good luck,
hunderteins
thx for the fast answers! i will try it and report the result!
ok, I tried this q5 usb memory manager. but is has no effect.
I found out, that when I restart the streak and plug the flash drive, the q5 manager detects in /sys/block/ the folder "sda". This is, according to the q5 instructions, the recomended block device. In /sys/block/sda/device/ are documents like "model" and "state". According to them runns in the sda device or folder a "16GB Trannscend" flash drive. That's the plugged drive.
I find the same documents, when I replug the flash drive only with the difference that the block device is called "sdb".
I belive the q5 manager has no impact on the mount/unmount process, because when i click "unmount file system " nothing happens.
I mean the sda/asb folder doesn't disappear.
Is there a opportunity to force the system to unmount this sda system?
Does the automount function works on your devices without problems?
I have no programming background, but if it's possible to unmount the sdcard, I gues this is at last only a codeline in the shell, why it's not possible to change the codeline for the flash drive? Only a noob idea
thanks in advance
Hi all,
Today I smashed my company phone - old Myphone Cube. I dont want to repair him, I will get newer BUT I want to restore my data.
I have there important photos on internal storage + ALL MY CONTACTS.
I tried everything with adb via stock recovery (update via ADB), which gives me ADB error: closed (no matter which version of adb I use.
In stock recovery is also an option "backup data", so I made an backup to sdcard. On sdcard in computer I see 3,5GB big file with .backup extension. I unpacked it via 7-zip and all I see is userdata_20100101_000113.backup. I cannot unpack it via anything.
Iam very lost. I tried many tools and stuff, but nothing helped me do something with ADB or this backup file. I also tried USB OTG to connect mouse, because LCD is still working, only touch doesnt, but this phone doesnt support OTG. I tried also My Phone explorer, but sadly, I dont have turned on USB debugging.
Iam playing with idea to buy digitizer for 10 bucks of ebay and do it this way, If any of those metods will not work.
Any ideas please?
Thank you, Martin!
Hello!
I have recently bought this phone with installed custom ROM and I wanted to install another one. And then I downloaded the ROM and formatted the phone from TWRP and I just connected it to the PC and there was nothing.. I searched for hours I tried so many adb drivers, usb drivers, etc and I couldn't detect the phone in the ADB powershell nor transfer any files. The only progress I managed to do is side loading it.. The ADB detected it and then I tried adb push (the exact name of the file) /sdcard and after that (error: closed) appeared.. I think the main reason is because before I formatted the phone I didn't allow the usb debuging but apparently you can't allow it from the recovery... I don't have any type-c OTGs laying around.. How in the world am I supposed to transfer the ROM to my phone? Please help me! Thank you!

Heyyo, I'm the maintainer of official builds of TWRP for the LeEco Le Max 2.
Usually for TWRP it can sometimes mess up USB mode if the device is plugged into a PC before it fully boots to TWRP.
Windows for some reason messes up the driver install for MTP as well. Usually of this happened you will need to manually go into device manager and select update driver on it and manually select the driver to install like this:

Hello All,
Years ago, I installed CyanogenMod 10.1. The TP works OK. Here's the info:
- Android version: 4.2.2
- Kernel version: 2.6.35-cyanogenmod [email protected] #1 Tue Dec 10 17:10:10 CST 2013
- CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l)
- CyanogenMod version: 10.1-20131210-SNAPSHOT-VPN-tenderloin
- Build date: Tue Dec 10 17:05:54 CST 2013
- Build number: cm_tenderloin-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39E 8d5ffaac34 test-keys
From what I know, external USB can be connected to HP TP via OTG cable and external power. So in an effort to use this HP TP (which has been collecting dust) as a digital frame, I follow this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc7tlPwFQpg&t=198s
The guy has links to buy OTG cable and Y adapter:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QX7KYU/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041CFFBM/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
So I bought (2) OTG cables and (2) Y adapters from the above links.
The power adapter I use is a working 2A one (brand name: Amazon). I formatted the USB thumb drive. Then loaded a few jpeg files to the thumb drive.
When I followed the above Youtube video to plug the USB drive, the app 'ES Explorer' does recognize the USB drive but it shows 'Empty folder'. I changed out OTG and Y cables but still the same: the HP Touchpad won't recognize the jpeg files on the thumb drive.
Please tell me what I did wrong and show me how to fix it.
I'm open to two solutions:
1) Open the HP TP up and solder a SD/micro SD module (I'm a circuit technician and have no problems doing that).
2) Wipe out the HP TP and install another Android version newer and/or capable of reading external thumb drives (I hate wasting a nostalgic HP TP).
Thank you very much for your help.

This is the OTG cable that I use and another one that could not find on line:
Click HERE for 4 Port Micro USB
I had use it with a 16GB USB drive on Evervolv 7.1.2 for curiosity to see how it works and I was very impress with the speed. I was able to play movies from the USB drive and at the same time also connected an USB Ethernet ( I had to incorporate the driver into the kernel ).
It is possible to have more than one USB device connected at same time, like USB drive, Keyboard, mouse and wire Ethernet. The tablet is like a laptop with connections by wire.
If ES Explore recognize the USB drive then the OTG cables is good, but you need another software to be able to read the files. I tried it Total Commander and there was another software to mount the partition, I think it was Paragon:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.tcplugins_ntfs_ro&hl=en_US
Install that to mount the USB drive and then the files should be available in ES Explore if not then try Total Commander and use the plug in for it.
Thanks but unfortunately none of those work because those methods only work for at least Android 4.4. Please let me know how to 1) wipe the TP and 2) find a stable and newer Android OS / CyanogenMod to install on the TP which will only be used as a digital frame and not anything else (no internet browsing, games, etc.).
All I see is this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad/development/rom-evervolv-hp-touchpad-t3923512
or
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad/development/rom-evervolv-7-0-0p1-wifi-t3456292
but both don't have step by step installation guides.
Thanks @HP_TOUCHPAD

The Tablet can read and write up to FOUR USB drive connected at the same time, attached are screenshots using Evervolv 7.1.2 with Total Commander and the plug in for the USB.
https://www.ghisler.com/android.htm
USB drive tested: 16G SandDisk, 16G Lexar, 8G Patriot
All three USB can be connected at the same time and be access using total commander file manager.
Also I plug in the MicroUSB Ethernet and works with the USB connected.

Thanks. I downloaded 'TWRP Recovery Version 3.2' to my computer, unzip and copy the files to the HP TP root directory. Unplug the TP from computer. Turn off the TP completely then boot it up again. No recovery menu to choose other than WebOS Recovery and some other menu options unrelated to automatic wipe out. So I'm stuck there.
Can I use this one instead?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP-FH6fS2GI
He basically shows step by step how to uninstall everything by plugging the TP to a computer which already has Nova installed.
Part 2: Let's say everything is wiped out, which android version would you recommend given my simple use of the TP? This is Android Pie 9.0 on Youtube (same instructor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAuNSoe6euI
Thanks again.

TWRP 3.2.1 needs to be flash using another recovery, if the uImage.Recovery is copy into boot then the file moboot.default needs to be edited and add uImage.Recovery to show in the moboot menu. It is best to flash it as it will create the entry for moboot menu. But now there is a copy there and the /boot maybe full and it needs to be clean.

As mentioned the entry uImage.Recovery must be add to a file in the /boot partition.

So I created a bootable USB drive having 'HP_Touchpad_Novacom_Repair_Android'. Change my laptop boot priority to USB and used 'unetbootin-windows-677' to 'Wipe All' the Android version. After that, every time the HP TP is booted, only a moboot 0.3.8 menu appears with these options:
- boot Recovery
- boot webOS recovery
- reboot
- shutdown
Now, I have downloaded these zip files:
- ev_tenderloin-7.1.2-nightly-2017.11.03
- HpTp_MaXtreme_1674_CPU_Universal_Optimize_Swap_Evervolv_7_1_2_Nougat
- open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20200520
I need to copy these zip files to the tablet but I don't know how: Turn the tablet on and select 'boot webOS recovery' and the white USB logo appears. Then connect the tablet to a laptop with Windows 10 running Then a message pops up 'We're setting up Palm device'. I open Windows Explorer to copy the zip files to the tablet but there's no 'Palm' folder (before Android was wiped out, I do see 'Palm' folder in Windows Explorer). Can you tell me how to copy the zip files to the table then? Should I copy those zip files to the bootable usb thumb drive then run unetbootin-windows-677 on the laptopn and copy the zip files over to the tablet?

- boot webOS recovery
- reboot
- shutdown
The tablet has been completely wipe and only the Android partitions were created.
boot Recovery is TWRP 3.2..1 by @flitman that allows to flash any Android ROM and works 100 % all the time.
Now, I have downloaded these zip files:
- ev_tenderloin-7.1.2-nightly-2017.11.03
- HpTp_MaXtreme_1674_CPU_Universal_Optimize_Swap_Evervolv_7_1_2_Nougat
- open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20200520
I need to copy these zip files to the tablet but I don't know how: Turn the tablet on and select 'boot webOS recovery' and the white USB logo appears. Then connect the tablet to a laptop with Windows 10 running Then a message pops up 'We're setting up Palm device'. I open Windows Explorer to copy the zip files to the tablet but there's no 'Palm' folder (before Android was wiped out, I do see 'Palm' folder in Windows Explorer). Can you tell me how to copy the zip files to the table then? Should I copy those zip files to the bootable usb thumb drive then run unetbootin-windows-677 on the laptopn and copy the zip files over to the tablet?

WebOS Recovery is only use to repair the Tablet ( troubleshooting )
Recovery TWRP is the App that is use to flash any ROM.
Boot into TWRP connect the Tablet to any PC, Micro SD will show ( is like a portable USB storage ) It works on any PC there is no need to have the novacom drivers install.
Copy all the zip files to the Micro SD card or USB ( it has different names )
Go to TWRP on the Tablet and select the zip files to flash, when done reboot.
It is very simple the only thing to do is select and flash that is it.
Here are some youtube videos about HP Touchpad Novacom Repair for Android, that shows how is use:

Thanks a lot. I was able to installed Nougat on TP. Try to install Paragon exfat/ntfs software but the software shows it's not compatible with HP TP Nougat 7. Installed Total Commander then install the plug-in (USB Stick, free trial btw) then the tablet restarted by itself. As it turns out, the battery drained from 50% to 0% right after installing the plug-in.
So now I'm monitoring the tablet to see if there are problems.
Also, System Storage and (Android Stock) Gallery both don't see the pictures of the usb thumb drive. The only one app can see the usb drive is Total Commander. I clicked on the pictures but there's no photo browsing app associated with Total Commander so I can't see the photo slides. If you happen to know such a photo viewing app compatible with Total Commander, please let me know.

Always keep the tablet charging, it will prolong the battery life.

That is a limitation of Android but some apps would be able to read the USB, to look here:

I know that using a USB stick is the most cost effective and easy way to set up, but also keep in mind a wireless hard drive, of you can set up a share folder from a PC and connect the Tablet and show all the photos from a network location. There are many ways the tablet can produce a slide show.

When I click on a photo on USB stick in Total Commander, a menu pops up 'with 2 options:
- Download+Open with
- Download+Edit
But whatever option you choose, nothing happens. It can't even view a photo. So I guess Total Commander is trying to associate a photo with an photo viewing app but it can't find such an app.
For ES Explorer, it can open a photo but no slideshow ( I heard that previous version of ES Explorer had that feature) so you have to manually click on the next photo.
Don't bother with Google Photos because it can't detect photos on the USB stick. So for now, I copy some of my pictures on the HP TP internal storage and play the slideshow by running Google Photos.
Hoping one day either ES Explorer or Total Commander can do slideshows.
Thanks for all your tremendous help.
