Hi guys,
I decided to upgrade my phone the other night, for no other reason then I like to fiddle and see what I can do with things =). WM5 worked fine, but I wanted to check out what WM6 had to offer.
So I download the official upgrade from the HTC member area ( http://www.dopodasia.com/Dopod_Aus ) and install as directed.
Everything went great, and I am pretty happy with WM6.
But after the upgrade, trying to start the camera brings up a dialog box with the error message "Unable to start camera. Unable to initialize Camera". This occurs if I hit the shortcut or run the .exe from explorer.
I downloaded the camera software but trying to overwrite the installed files using activesync yeilds an "unable to overwrite because files are write-protected" error, and attempting to write-enable the files is disallowed (the file just reverts back to write-protected, frustratingly).
I've searched these forums and others, and I can't find any answers.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem when I pass from WM5 to WM6 because I try to restore a backup from my old ROM over my new ROM, thing that is impossible that works well due to registry and file incompatibilities.
I don't know if it's your case or not...

Thanks for the reply =)
Nope, im not restoring any backups or transferring anything else.
I have the same problem - no answer yet My original report:

The key thing is that reflashing to a known-good ROM doesn't fix it. What about in your case?

Hrmm.. I haven't tried yet, still looking for some sort of workaround or a software solution.
I'll try another OS tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
I also have this error, but...
...occasionally, it works when I do the following:
- Cold boot the device (no soft reset)
- Start the camera, but the screen will display noise
- Close the camera
- Start it again
- Second time, it will operate as expected
But funny enough, this trick doesn't work all the time...
I have friends and collegues that also upgraded and they don't experience this problem at all...
Same thing here... I bought 4 att 8525 units at ebay. they already came with wm6 3.57 from cingular.
3 units are working with no problems, but the camera stopped working in one of the phones.
I've tried everything (I think) , soft reset, hard reset, rom upgrade/downgrade.
A little of history ... so maybe some guru out there figures out what the f.. is going on:
1) The camera used to work fine.
2) Suddenly it began to fail saving pictures to the SC (sandisk 2gb) . All the phones have the same card.
If you choose to save to main memory, it worked.
3) The same day, the message "unable to initialize camera" started to show everytime I tried to start the camera application (4.0).
4) I tought it may be a failure SC, so I removed the SC, reset the phone but nothing changed.
5) Incredibly.... after then phone been turned off for a while... when I turned it on, the camera worked. Took a few pics... and the same error again!
6) Soft reset, hard reset.... nothing...
7) Updated SPL, radio and Rom (schaps 3.57) and the camera did work again!!!!! (with the SC in) .... after a few hours (no applications or skin applied) the error came back.
8) repeated those steps..... but no luck this time....
9) removed sim, sc and repeat steps.... no luck...
10 ) now, it is not working.... I tried coolcamera... but it does not start... tried camera 4.11... nothing... I went through the registry comparing with the other phones... everything is correct.
11) now I am thinking it is hw problem... but how is it possible that it works from time to time??????
Well... I almost gave up looking for a solution.... any idea would be great!
(what is a cold reset? )
thanks
fabian
Good news!!...
I just downloaded this cab that says it corrects SC bad management.
After installing the cab... turning off/on the phone... the camera works!!
(I don't know for how long it will work... but at least it is alive! )
Good luck and please share your experience with this cab !!
fabian
I can't believe it.... it worked for 2 hours... I did nothing with the phone... when I got the phone to send a sms, I tried again the camera... and it did not work!!!!!
(((
this is really weird!!
Well... this seems more like a "blog" than a forum .
Yesterday night I try removing the battery for 15 minutes. Then I turned on the phone and the camera started working.
I was really pesimist about the time it will keep working well... so I took pictures , recorded video, store them into main memory, into SC .. I really messed up with the camera ... everything worked well... tryed also Coolcamera application and took picture at maximum resolution (1600x1200 I think) .. everything Ok.
The camera is still working today... I did soft reset and it is still working... I'm trying step by step every action... synchronize.. wi-fi... phone... sms.. mms.. etc etc...and the camera still working...
I wonder how long will this work.. and what the hell does taking away the battery ???? Does it clean something in the ram ?
Any answer???
fabain
damn
I was really hopeful of this cab...
installed it and nada...
trying the battery trick (again) with this new cab installed to see maybe well just maybe...
fingers crossed

Hey ya all,
Did a ROM upgrade
Schaps Pro New Very excellent to state the least!
Did a re-store (double dump move!)
Used SK Tools to re-store old backup of entire system (that was the double dumb move not the using the the fantastic SK Tools app!
Camera worked as well as a 2pixel can, but now get "Unable to start Camera not enough storage is available blah blah
So I did a search found a cab to a Kaiser link to rabidshare and tried to download 6 in a couple of days NO go on that,
http://rapidshare.com/files/97924716/Nadavi_HTC_Camera_5_0_4_2915_00_NEW_HTC_FIX.cab
Rabidshare doesn't finish download most every time I try on PC or phone!
Can anyone provide another link to download form please please!
So I tried another cab on this forum ArtemisSDeng and no go with soft rest.
Took battery and micro card out, 15 minutes (what-ever) no go on that either. . .
Have
Storage FREE 32.96 MB
Programs free 27.81 MB
So NOW what can I do besides buy a new Tynt and not restore old system restore over a NEW ROM?
Much help please?
where are updated cameras anyway?
I am currently running version 3.0 build 25498 HTC Camera on my Wizard with WM6 (NBD v9.2) ROM. Where can I find updated camera files. I tried a ROM once that had version 3.3 on it and it seemed to work better but I haven't found any standalone copies of the camera programs.
Anyone?
Can I use this cab for my HTC TYTN II (Kaiser) or its ony for Artemis ?
Hope this helps,
The reason that my camera messed up after installing a new ROM, is that I re-stored my device with a whole system restore!
This covered over the new upgraded settings found in the NEW ROM with old settings/ configuration !
SO I reinstalled the OLD ATT ROM (yuk) and BINGO camera works as it did before the undated ROM!
Now I going to reinstall the NEW cooked ROM, without the restore system and just hand install all my 6 apps, so I don't mess up the updated camera settings!
Maybe next week hopefully!
Hope that helps someone, so they can run a cooked ROM without messing up their camera!
Later!
madefree, you can restore all the old setup of your phone with SPB Backup ver2. It has an upgrade rom mode that doesn't alter the os at all but puts things back as they were on your old os. Today screen how you like it, any apps you've installed(fully regged). The only thing I've found was that for some roms I had to re-install the .net framework 3.5 as it DOESN'T alter the OS files. Well worth the money..
Cheers...
Thanks much ultramag69 for that info on the v2, as I was doing a flash on LVSW Edition ROM in about 20 minutes, so maybe dnload SPB Backup v2 and give it a try!
I just wish Sktools did that same type install, since I already bought that app!
Again thanks!
fix camera not initailize error (maybe)
ok not sure this will help every body but it work for me --- i'm running schaps 4.31 same problem after upgrading my 8525 any ways after weeks of try with cab , software , downloads I went to the programs them self and found out that if I disabled the camera icon setting in schaps config then soft reboot it works every time ( the icon actually is still there on today screen) been 2 days no errors before fix -- soft reboot use cam once errors till I reboted again hope it helps repost your findings might just be a freak incident

I have Verizon Wireless service. I want to upgrade my phone for the first time. I've been reading alot and the Wiki but it doesn't go into great detal about how to do it. I want to make sure I have got everything down correctly first.
- First, get my phones ESN, MSID, Security, EPST, and M. IP settings by using ##778, etc.
- Second, I unlock the phone and install BootLoader 2.40 per Wiki instructions.
- Third, I install Titan_Radio_ROM_3.42.30 by coping TITAIMG.nbh to my SD mini card and running bootloader by pressing the 3 keys.
- Fourth, I install dcd_titan_kitchen_3.2.2 by running it and compiling it and coping the created RUU_signed.nbh after renaming it to TITAIMG.nbh and copying it to the SD card and running bootloader by using the 3 keys.
I pretty much checked everything before I compiled it, except items that did the same thing or that was double like the different versions of the camera. Is that OK, or will it eat up all my memory, or will I have other problems? I didn't know what alot of the stuff was, so I thought it would just be best to install everything. Also, the wiki talks about choosing the right carrier and not more then one carrier, but that option wasn't there. I assume that's what the VZ cab is now here for?
- Fifth, copy dcd Verizon Carrier 20080706.cab to the SD card and run that.
Then I do a soft reset and everything should be working? Is that right? Did I miss anything?
I also don't understand the A-key problem and how to avoid it.
I'm also confused about not booting after you upgrade the ROM and after the screen calibration the carrier customisations will run and alter my EPST settings to the operators settings and my phone will be configured to the wrong service. What's that about?
Will it allow me to run the verizon cab file from the SD card after I install the ROM without having to soft boot the phone?
Also, can I use PIM backup and restore to backup to my SD card and then restore after the ROM upgrade? Will that be a problem?
Thanks for your help and time.
Long post, so here is mine:
Your four steps are pretty close, other than mentioning the formatting of the sd card which you probably already know how to do via cmd, you have it right.
If you are not checking extra boxes in the kitchen, you can just use the ROM he posts underneath. If you want standard games, x-button, different versions of the phone or camera, etc or if you want to install your own OEMs then the kitchen is for you. Sounds like you are just planning on hitting everything, which I would suggest against (you don't want or need two phone versions, two cameras, etc). Leave the items where they are unless you know why you are changing them, dont click everything. Do some research on each item by googling xda here.
With regard to carrier cabs, run your carrier cab afterward to get functionality. Yes you can run from SD. I have never needed to do an A-Key reset, but others had to after upgrading radio. Just call verizon and tell them you are not able to authenticate your phone and they will reset your phone for you. Don't worry about what it is or why it happens.
Letting customizations run is for when you run the sprint update, which it doesn't sound like you are doing. If you are running the updates over sd card, you can let the customizations run, but since you dont have UC (research here) there is nothing to run so no worries; it will try to run your UC and see there is nothing there and just reboot, kewl. Don't use backups (Sprite or SPB or otherwise, best to use activesync and UC (see above).
Yes, the simple stuff I left out like formatting the card, etc. I understand that.
I guess I need to use the Kitchen because their are some items in there that I want, and some items that I don't know what they are, and I'll look into it like you said instead of just checking everything just incase it's something I might want or need in the future. Like I said I didn't click on everything, stuff that do the same thing, or different versions of the same thing I didn't click on. So, I think I just clicked on everything but Enterprise + IPSECVPN, Camera 4.05.30525.00, HTC CommManager - Titan 8 Button, and HTC Titan PhoneCanvas (Dailer).
It sounds like I won't need Enterprise + IPSECVPN, because it sounds like it's for some kind of Enterprise network with VPN, and I don't have something like that. I would like to know the difference between the version 4 & 5 of the Camera. I assume version 5 is better. I assume that the Touch 10 is better then the Titan 8 button, but would like to know the differences, also the differences in the Dialers. I assumed the Vogue was preffered since it was the default one that was checked. I haven't checked out the link you left for me yet, so I'll do that to see if I can see the differences.
Do I do a soft reset after I install the Radio and before I install the ROM and after I install the ROM and before I install the Carrier Cab file?
I'm having problems doing backups now. I don't have activesync because I have Vista and it doesn't use activesync. I was able to do backups with Outook and Windows, but they won't work anymore. I was using the USB data cable and they were working fine, but then I got a Bluetooth Dongle and installed that and it messed everything up. I tried one that was compatible with XP and downloaded different drivers and I couldn't get it to work. So, I purchased one that was compatible with Vista and it would sync but not backup my contacts and appointments with Outlook like it would with the data cable. I tried using the USB cable and it won't work anymore either. I can't even get it to make a connection anymore, and it will show an error on the phone. That's why I got the PIM backup and restore software to backup to and from the SD card. I haven't used it yet. I was going to try and use it, and then do a Hard Reset and then restore my data to my phone and try to get it to backup to my Outlook like it used to with the USB Cable. If I can get that to work I was going to try and do the Titan ROM update. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks for all the help!! Take care!

Is there a size limit to the ROM file RUU_signed.nbh? There should be. Let me know. Thanks.. Steve
Since this is your first ROM upgrade I think you should avoid the kitchen for now and just use DCD's compiled rom. (this is just my opinion) It will really simplify things for you.
As for PIM backup I would think it would work fine for contacts, but I think you will run into issues if you wan to restore SMS backups because of going from WM6 to 6.1 and the threading SMS that is used for 6.1.
I also saw this http://www.dashwire.com/ I haven't used it yet, but its free online solution for backing up your PPC.
As far as your question for soft-resets go, When you run the update the phone should reset on its own. I don't know why your active sync isn't working, but I would try and get it to work before running these updates to ensure proper connectivity of your device before running these updates.

Thats what you would need to get it to connect.
Gluck!

I've used PIM Backup since Jan of this year, and have had no issues restoring any SMS from a WM6 to WM6.1. It goes through and threads it all the 1st time you open up messaging, so if you have a large amount of messages, it will take a while to thread it all the 1st time you open it up....
For my first time I did not use the kitchen. I found it pretty easy to do. Just make sure you load the radio b4 the rom.
I just wanted to thank everybody for all there feedback and help, it was very helpful. The 3 main reasons I need to do the ROM update is to take advantage of the new features of WM6.1 and I need to be able to install Java and get my TomTom GPS software working. That's the 3 main reasons right now.
My phone is so messed up right now it's always locking up and having alot of problems from maybe all the apps I installed and tested and stuff. I need to reset it like 3 or 4 times a day. I think that's why I can't sync it with my computer anymore. I'm going to just back it up to the SD card and do a hard reset and get it working again and syncing with my computer and then do the ROM upgrade, etc. I will take your advice and do the stock ROM at first to figure out how to do the upgrade. I will then have to use the Kitchen to enable the GPS and the Java, right? When I do the Kitchen ROM later will I just need to upgrade the ROM, and not worry about any of the other procedures?
Also, when I do use the kitchen to create the ROM what is the size limitation on the ROM file?
Do you also have an option on which Dailer and Camera software?
Thanks again and wish me luck! LOL
Well, I downloaded the DCD compiled rom and it's filename is dcd_titan_3.2.2.exe and I ran it and it doesn't look like you can install it via the SD card. It looks like you have to do it via a PC Sync. Can you do a PC Sync after installing the Radio? Well, let me know. I think I'm ready to get started now. Thanks..
OK, well I got my phone to sync with my PC, but it sometimes has connection and disconnection problems, but I was able to get it to sync everything with my PC once.
I ran EPST and got my ESN and MSID, but I'm not sure what security information I should copy and I can't find the MSN number. There is alot of M.IP information. Do I copy everything in the M.IP Settings and M.IP Default Profile? Is there anything else I'm missing? Thanks.
May I suggest you take a digital Picture and scroll down and take a second one. This eliminates any questions on Handwriting and then blow them up on your PC if you have bad vision.

Hi,
as I've switched to wm6.5 recently, i'm currently using my phone a lot... unfortunately, i also recognized, that i'm having strange problems since switching... after installing all my cab files and applying all my tweaks, etc. the OS will not launch any apps anymore, followed by not booting after a softreset, i have to hard reset. this is happening on any ROM so far, and i've tried letting several cabs i need out, however it still results in that kind of crash...
anyone having similar experiences? or is there a fix for this?
WM6.5 is not yet very stable, some crashes appear ramdomly as far as I can see too...
And I think some "old" stuff is not really compatible with it (I think there are more changes than the UI in 6.5)
Let's hope newer releases will correct thoses crashes...

hello there!
yep, i guess you're talking about normal "lock-ups"...however i HAD hardresets...
i was able to fix it by just reflashing the stock 6.1 rom, and then flashed back to 6.5 without switch radio... its working fine until now... i'm gonna report if i have any problems
I've noticed the same. When I go to File Explorer and My Device, it seems most of the files have been deleted, including the windows folder, and the remaining ones have been corrupted (they have names like b[]). If I try to restart the device it won't boot and requires a hard reset.
I've also noticed that this happens after I've synced with ActiveSync for the SECOND time.
EDIT: This issue does not occur with d_train's ROM.
Freezing keyboard
Hi,
With 6.5 roms (what I've been tested) my Niki100 freezes when I starting to enter a name (with soft keyboard) in the new mail/SMS address field. Hard keyboard works perfectly...
Niki 100 16keys
HardSPL 1.22
Radio: 1.71.09.01
Tested ROMs:
Salvy.C.83 v3.2 16keys
WM6.5 Lite ROM build 23007
Insomnia209G
Insomnia209L
NemanjaLO WM 6.5 23007
Anyone have any ideas?
Thx
Jules
I tried with WM6.1 and it freezes too. I think the Full QWERTY keyboard do this...

well, these issues have stopped for me, after reflashing the stock 6.1 rom! maybe you should try that as well
Hey guys,
Got an issue with my toggle switches on my today screen (wifi on/off, disconnect data, and flight mode). They were working just fine up until today, so I know that the issue occurred when I was messing with it today.
The error that I get when trying to use the switches says "The file 'JMLComm' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
Today, i did three things, one that I'm almost positive had nothing to do with it was added morph gear and a Rom for SNES. The other two were adding Bandswitch (didn't work the way I wanted it to, so I removed it) and added Setup Dial Up Enable Disabler, which didn't cut off the data connection after the time I selected. so I deleted that also.
Any tips or suggestions? thank you
well, since no one can respond to that, how about this.where can I look up to see if that file is still on the phone our just got deleted.
JMLComm should be in the windows directory, a ROM file, so you will need to show all files, size on mine is 45k, attributes RM
There is also JMLTasks.exe, 74k, RM
Neither of them do anything when i try to run them. I believe they probably need command line parameters.
a quick google shows that jmlcomm is associated with enabling/disabling BT and WIFI (which makes sense)
yea, I saw that when I did a search, so im wondering what changed so I cant use my toggles.maybe if I were to reload the file on the phone it would fix it? or maybe theres something blocking it so I cant use it.im wondering how adding those two programs could have done that...

its a rom file, so it is not removeable. you acn copy over it, using some file managers (resco, total commander) or use a cab to instal a copy over it, but the file would still be there 'underneath' the one you add.
Id be more suspicious that its a bad install of cookies home tab (they are the toggles you mean, right?)
I'd probably go for a hard reset and reinstal, but thats me.
But would it take 2 weeks for something to happen? because CHT was the first thing i installed, and everything worked fine
oh no, it will be something that happened recently, but its often easier to start over than to backtrack. Plus rolling back the offending item wont necessarilly fix it.
dang.alright.thanks, and off topic, I know, but when I do a hard reset, what all on the phone was preloaded that will get deleted?
Sounds like one of the things you install used the same file as your problem program. So when it was in stall it over wrote it and when uninstalled it deleted it causing an issue. When you hard reset it will take the phone back to your last flash, what ever was installed on the rom by the cook will be there but anything you loaded after the flash will need to be restored
did you ever find a fix to this? my phone just started doing this!
*edit* If you're using CHT & this happened just reinstall.

Good Morning everybody,
Yesterday i installed the darkstone android Froyo on my HTC HD2, it worked pretty fine.
I reboot the phone to finish the installation and everything was normal. I download apps on the market ... all's good.
But i realize taht i've got no ringstone, i plug the phone on the computer and put the "media file" in the SD card.
I reboot the mobile and try to launch CLRCAD and HARET but i got the followinf message "The file XXX cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found"
I tried :
to format my SD,
to put a new install of android,
to reboot my phone,
to read different thread about this problem,
to test different program like Security configuration manager ...
I think that the problem doesn't come from Android build (it worked 2 times before) but win mobile ?
Here's my conf :
2.08 HDSPL
radio 2.12.50.02_2
darkstone froyo 2.1
rom 1.66 483 0 (76641) FRE (Bouygues telecom)
I don't understand what i did it wrong, it pretty worked and after 2 reboots i can't launch android.
Please can someone help me ?
Thanks in advance for your reply

Same issue
Hi,
I'm having this same issue. I hope someone can help. It doesn't seem to be an issue with the SD card. Did somehow the registry got corrupted? Please help.
Registry restore did not fix issue

To test my theory that it was a registry issue, I restored the registry that I backed up before installing Android. It DID NOT fix the issue.
What does that mean? It seems that everything that comes with the WM ROM works fine. It only effects the applications that were installed and not OEM.

I've now deleted my Android folder and the .folder and will see if that helps. I don't believe it will because I've removed the SD card and the programs I installed on the ROM still did not work. I'm hoping I don't need to do a hard reset. That would be a pain.
That only thing I did before having this issue was that I installed several games from the Android market place; final fantasy 6, angry birds, and a couple of others.
Had the exact same problem running FroyoStone Sense - V3.1. Couldn't even install SDKcerts. Tried everything & the only solution was a hard reset.
Gtab- Stock 3358.
Previously I had Stock 3358 and rothnics enhancement pack. I installed an app from the market. As soon as I started the app the gtab screen went blank. Then the TapnTap logo as if it was rebooting then within 2 sec I was back at the home screen. If it rebooted it was a heck of a fast reboot.
then I started getting the error. Everything except stock email and settings work. But the error message pops up every few seconds. I can't go to settings and wipe. So I attempted to install stock 3358. it went fine but problem persist. Still can;t go to settings to check version or do a afactory reset.
Any and all help is appreciated.

I had same problem and after debating the right courses to take, I nvflash'ed the device and started over again.
Still would like to understand that caused that error ?
This usually occurs as the result of contacts in your contact folder with blanks in the name fields. Delete any entries with blanks and you should be good to go.
PS. You will get faster resolution if you search before posting as this has been asked and answered several times in past week.
I have same problem...."The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I went into my google account, deleted or put names in contacts that didnt have names, rebooted and still having problem. I tried going into the data/data file, but there was no data file to delete as indicated on other threads. There is not an easy to find thread for this problem. Please help or at least direct me.
Thanks!!!
I never had any contacts saved. Regardless I cannot even open the contacts folder to add/delete anything.
I am having problems with, email, contacts, settings. as soon as I attempt to open any of the above it gives the FC message and takes it back to home.
On the other hand I called Gtab support. As soon as I told the probelm the lady asked me if I could go to settings. Once I told her no I cannot she said you have to send the unit back for repair. She said that she helped another individual yesterday with exact same issue.
On aside note I was able to delete most of my apps using ES file explorer.
@Bekit @rothnic or other senior members is there any solution beside nvflash. I am a newbie.
thanks.
I had the same problem in February and fixed it by searching this forum and finding pieces to put together a solution. The rest of this message is what I posted back on 2/24/11. I think the important part is to repartition your SD card and clear all user data. I have had no problems since I did this fix.
Good luck.
I have had my GTablet since early December and have been running the Stock Enhancement since early January. I have had no problems except for a very occasional unexpected stop. It was never a real problem.
Yesterday I started getting the android.process.acore error literally anytime I tried to use any application. To my knowledge, I had not installed anything recently that would account for this.
The good news is that I followed multiple threads here and came up with what seemed to be a reasonable solution.
I installed Clockwork and reset the partition to 2048/0 as suggested by several posts. I also cleared everything that I could clear using their menu.
Then I installed NVFlash which I believe put me back to the plain vanilla factory OS. (I also think this wiped out Clockwork Mod but I'm not positive.)
I got the "update available" message and did the OTA update of the OS.
Then I installed the TnT Stock Enhancement update and applied the Market Fix.
Everything seems back to normal now.
I want to thank all of the forum members who posted the various instructions that allowed me to piece together this solution.
I realize that not everyone has the same issues when problems occur so there isn't one single fix that is right for everyone. I didn't really understand that until I had this problem. I feel lucky that I've had relatively no problems.
I have to admit that I'm looking carefully at the Motorola Xoom because I suspect it has a much more stable hardware/software infrastructure but I would rethink that if the Viewsonic folks would be more forthcoming about their plans to support upgrades for the GTab. I can live without 3G if I have stability.
Thanks again to all of you experts out there in xda-developers forumland.
Stuck SD card
I am having the same problem and tried to do the restore from the SD card and now the card is in the slot and I cant access the settings to eject it. to run the clockwork mod is there any way to force it to boot the clockwork mod?
For me, Clockworkmod "wipe data/factory reset" eliminated the pesky force close message about android.process.acore that several of us seem to have. NVflashing & Contacts data field corrections did not work for me. The problems seemed to come up after downloading an app from market.
Running VEGAn 1.00 beta 5.1.1 supplement, and happy!
got this last night/this morning as well. from other parts of the forum i went with the fix of using titanium backup to wipe data related to contacts (believe there were three separate items, contacts, contact synch, and something else). btw, I am running VEGAn 5.1.1.
after wiping the data, everything has appeared normal.
hope that helps.
I called CS yesterday. They help me delete most of the apps that I downloaded to see if that will fix the issue. That also helped in eliminating any personal data left behind in case I have to RMA the unit.
that makes my tablet completely stock. I don't have market any more. So can't get clockwork rom manager etc. Bigger probelm is the onscreen keyboard doesn't work either gives the error message.
I did some reading on how to NV Flash the device. Still trying to understand the process.
I have two options
1. NV flash the device and hope that everything still works.
2. I bought sears insruance. Just return the device and then be done with it.
Any help is much appreciated.
My experience level is limted to flashing stock and enhancement packs using the Power and + buttons.
You don't want to use the clockwork in Rom Manager. It doesn't work for the G Tablet.
Here are a couple other options off the top of my head...
1) cwmod for install from Micro SD card http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
2) Try calkulin's format all http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985705

same thing with me. I downloaded a few apps and then I got it. Did the data wipe thing. Came back in and I am still getting the error. Not happening every 5 seconds, but still getting it.
okay, this is strange. I did the data wipe and I was still getting this error. After doing the market fix and got all my downloads available, I noticed that I am only getting this error when I hit the HOME button.
I hit the Home button and the error comes up, then the Android Market comes up. This only happens now when I hit the Home button. Error, Market comes up and I have to hit the Home button again to get home.
HELP!
only the home button
confirmed. Working on this the last 30 minutes, I am only getting this error when hitting the home button.
@ K J Rad
I downloaded caulkins format all zip. Now this may sound a silly question. Do I flash it like changing its name to update.zip and include the recovery file?
2nd question is if I am able to flash it successfully can I install the stock rom?

Just wanted to say this single step worked for me as well.
Ok. Finally got rid of the problem.
First I attemted NVFlash. After some intial strugle setting up the drivers etc on windows got it to work. Everything worked but still had the exact same process.
B/w I noticed superuser still there. I thought NV Flash will bring it to out of box. Used Bekits image.
After some more reading took the plunge and did CWM internal. Dide wipe data. Rebooted and got it working again.
Again pardon my ignorance but do I have to manually update to 3358. And if I do it go stock would it get rid of CWM. How do i get it off the machine?
I would like to prepare for the OTA.
Please advise.
B/w it was fun going through the process.

Glad you got it working. Installing the stock 3588 update will replace the bootloader and removes CWM. That should leave you as close to real stock as you can get.
Oh, and welcome aboard ;-)

Thank you very much, that was an incredibly painless fix. Worked on TnT-Enhanced v3.1.4b
