Here are some frequently asked questions about the G-Tablet. Where there are specific answers based on ROM, the ROM is listed prior to the answer.
How do I install Clockworkmod?
See Step 1 of THIS POST
OR watch THIS VIDEO
How do I boot into Clockworkmod?
With the device completely off (and not asleep/suspended), press the + volume button and the power button until the device turns on. If it is successfully booting into Clockworkmod, you will see a message at the top left of the screen saying booting recovery image.
How do I perform a wipe data/factory reset?
With Clockworkmod, select the third option in the menu "wipe data/factory reset" and press the Home key (second button down on the right side of the gTablet in landscape view). Then, confirm wipe by selecting "Yes - wipe data/factory reset" and press the Home key again.
How do I clear the cache?
With Clockworkmod, select the fourth option in the menu "wipe cache partition" and press the Home key (second button down on the right side of the gTablet in landscape view). Then, confirm wipe by selecting "Yes - Wipe Cache" and press the Home key again.
How do I install VEGAn-TAB/TnT Lite/Cyanogenmod?
See the very first post of THIS THREAD
Where can I find the different ROMs for the G-Tablet?
1) Stock by Viewsonic
2) Stock + Performance Pack by rothnic
3) Tnt Lite 4.1 by Roebeet
4) VEGAn-TAB beta 5.1 by gojimi, Roebeet and Rothic
5) Zpad Clean 3.0 by rothnic
6) CyanogenMod 6.1 Beta4 by bekriebel
7) CyanogenMod 7.0 RC0 beta3 by bittrix
8) Tnt G-Harmony-Gingerbread Elements by tjohnsonjr
9) Plus the great kernel enhancement by clemsyn.
Keyboard and Mouse Support
VEGAn-TAB: Yes; supports an external keyboard and mouse, but it is picky. I have tested three keyboards; only one worked (MS Natural Keyboard). The MS Arc and an old Compaq keyboard did not. All mouses tested worked fine (both wireless and wired).
TnT-Lite: In testing; will update when testing complete.
Cyanogenmod 6.1b4: Yes; According to iammuze, keyboard and mouse both work.
Wallpaper blurry
Some have pointed to applications that can possibly fix this (Wallpaper Set & Save, MultiPicture Live Wallpaper) but I have had limited success with both of these. A bit of experimenting with different wallpapers will yield a satisfactory wallpaper image until this is cleared up at a later time.
Screen resolution in landscape (horizontal) mode
1024 x 600. Remember that if you're making wallpaper, when using the G-Tab in portrait mode (vertically) will make the wallpaper shrink and there will be black bars on top and below the image. Best image size: 1024 x 1024.
How do I get a fully working Marketplace?
See Step 3 of THIS POST
Is there a difference between the marketplace that comes with most G-Tablet ROM builds or the new "improved" market?
The only difference is the appearance. In functionality, it is the same. The market hack is still required for the new improved marketplace (and reports are that it often takes more tries to make work than the standard market).
Problems with acore FC's
The problem is a corrupt contacts sqlite database. As the referenced post says, you'll be able to tell if thats the problem when there is a .db-journal file in the folder. The folder is /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/ *Note* this is not the data folder in sdcard, but the data folder in root (/).
Just delete the databases folder in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts and restart. The contacts database will be rebuilt and re-synced.
Also, see THIS THREAD/FAQ
Why do I keep seeing repartitioning as a solution to install problems?
Because Viewsonic didn't partition the G-Tablets in a way that Android likes to live on. By repartitioning, Android feels happier and many issues/problems are resolved.
What is the recommended repartition ratio?
2GB/0MB is STRONGLY recommended for TnT Lite 3.00+
2GB/256MB is considered the default setup
4GB/256MB is used by many people, but see the aforementioned caveat regarding TnT Lite.
Why won't one of the devs answer my question/post?
Because they:
1. Have day jobs.
2. Are busy coding and fixing the next release of VEGAn-TAB.
3. Have seen your question 23 times already in this thread: the search function is your friend.
4. Are not being paid to read forums and go through 100's of posts, many of which ask the same question (although they do this out of the kindness of their hearts thankfully!!!).
Who are the devs working on the G-Tablet
VEGAn-TAB: Gojimi, Rothnic, and Roebeet
TnT-Lite: Roebeet
Cyanogenmod 6.1b4: bekriebel
I can't get X to work on my G-Tab. Can you fix it? (where x = desired ROM)
Maybe. Maybe not. Currently, VEGAn-TAB is in Beta which means that it's still in testing. While it may be stable and usable for most people, it doesn't mean that it will be completely stable for you. If you have problems, post them and be happy knowing that you're helping the community at-large. Some problems may not be reproducible, however. In that case, it may be a matter of a corrupt install, conflict with previous install, cache or data issue, etc.
Do the dev's accept donations for their work?
Some do; others don't. If you see a donate button on their profile, feel free. If not, they don't accept them.
How to get the stock VEGAn-TAB wallpaper without the letters?
See attached image in 1024 x 1024.
More Advanced Questions.
Can the startup "Viewsonic Birds" or "gTablet" screens be changed?
Yes they can. Follow the instructions in THIS POST.

These were grabbed from over-the-air updates. They are full recovery images that wipes everything except the user data.
To use this with a vanilla recovery, you need to rename the file to update.zip, copy it to the root of /sdcard, and also create a recovery folder with a file called "command" (see the 1.00 release for that file). When you run recovery, the command file will direct recovery to run the update.zip to update the system.

Great FAQ!
"Why won't one of the devs answer my question/post?" is so true. I scan this forum daily, but there is no way to keep up with all the questions that pop up (especially once it's back more than 2 pages). If you really need me, PM me - at least I'll eventually see the question. But, keep in mind that I get more PM's than you might realize, so it could take me some time to respond.
@ehunyadi as Robeet said Great FAQ. This will definitely help alot of people.
Now I just need to find free time at home to test out the vegan ROM.
Maybe this should be a sticky?

Thanks, guys.
I tried to change the title of this thread to encompass all flavors of G-Tab ROMs but I think only a mod can do that.
I am going to start including info about all the different ROMs in here as well to help keep things simple in regards to finding the FAQ's in one place. This SHOULD help reduce the questions a bit. At least that's my hope.
Awesome job! Thank you so much for this! I posted your video of VEGAn-TAB on our new ROM homepage. Check it out @ HTTP://vegantab.gojimi.com.

ehunyadi,
I forgot about this thread, but you may want to see my thread up higher about a site I found which offers a .pdf of the Advent Vega manual and some software for those capable of working with it.
The manual explains operation of much of the ROM interface.

How do I install VEGAn-TAB?

OK, I am a n00b to the Gtab scene. I do read the first post 99.9% of the time, but when the first post leads me to an incorrect first post about how to install, I must make mention of that fact. The first post mentioned does not have any instructions for installing. Is there a step by step tutorial for this to be found?
TIA ..... HTR
I see you added the link to the default wallpaper without the branding but what is the location of the default Vegan wallpaper or at least a link to it? I changed my wallpaper and now would like to revert but do not know the location. Thanks a lot.

Once you change it from the default, there's no known way to go back right now.
Edited to add: You can always use the image an image that is identical to what VEGAn-TAB comes with stock, but this has to be downloaded and selected from gallery/filesystem vs going back to the default wallpaper.

Good point; I'll fix that link.
As for a step-by-step, you can view THIS VIDEO that takes you through the steps of installing with Clockworkmod. Ignore the fact that it already has an OS on the G-Tab; you can do this with a fresh install as well.
Also, see THIS THREAD for step-by-step instructions. I'll fix the first post in the thread to reflect the change.
Here is the default Vegan wallpaper:
Thanks Trist-Wolf!!!
Updated to encompass ALL ROM flavors. If one is missing, or if you have useful information that you would like to see in the FAQ, please post or PM me directly.

i currently have the TNT 4.4.0 ROM installed but I was looking to switch to the Vegan Ginger ROM and also to install pershoots kernel. are they compatible? how would i go about this without bricking the device? theres a lot of stuff here about firmware versions and incompatbilities and bricking and stuff and im not really sure about the process.
thanks in advance for your help?
Here is a detail step by step instruction on how to root, install a rom, etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
I highly recommend Calkulin+Clemsyn combo rom. It's super fast, stable, and is based on the TnT stock rom. Very easy to use for newbies.
PS - with the rom I linked to, market fix and flash have already been applied. All you need to do is flash root and the Calkulin+Clemsyn combo rom and you're set.
what about all of that wiping and stuff. i have to do that also, correct? can any step of this completely brick the device?
thanks again!
None of the steps will brick your device however i would recommend an iPad

Ok, here are the instructions, since I feel particularly good today on my day off.
(1) Follow the instruction on that other link for installing ClockworkMod.
(2) Create a folder in your sdcard name "rom" or "ROM" or "hoogabooga" or whatever name you want. Just make sure you remember the folder.
(3) Download the file I have included in this post (down below) called Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL.zip.
(4) Download your choice of rom. There are now half a dozen to choose from. Calkulin+Clemsyn combo is the fastest and most stable according to my experience.
(5) Put those roms into that "hoogabooga" folder you created in your sdcard. Turn off your gtab.
(6) Startup into clockworkmod by pressing the power button and the volume + button and keep pressing the volume + button until you see something appearing on the upper left hand side of the screen during the birds.
(7) Scroll up and down using the volume control. Go down to where it says "install zip from sdcard" and press the house button.
(8) Choose zip from card.
(9) Go to your hoogabooga folder and choose Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL.zip.
(10) Press the back button and go to advance.
(11) Choose the 2nd choice where it says wipe dalvik cache.
(12) Go back and pick install zip from sdcard again. This time, choose the rom that you chose.
(13) After it finishes "installing", reboot. Note that the first time the device boots into a new rom it will be very slow. Just let it sit there and do its thing. If you try anything at this point, you will screw up your machine. So, just let the darn thing boot up, please. We got enough users coming in here complaining about why their machine is screwed up because they did something while it's booting up. Good god...
Please be aware that I wrote the instructions thinking you have common sense. In other words, use common sense. Where it says "running" or "installing" or whatever then you're suppose to wait. Don't just follow the instructions blindly.
Invest some time in setting up nvflash. It's much less stressful with a safety net.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950
Don't even think about an iPad.
My problem with nvflash is that it's newbie unfriendly. I was a newbie not too long ago and I can tell you nvflash looked like a nightmare.
Unless the user does something stupid like interrupting a startup process, the gtab is fairly hard to brick.
And as always, I highly recommend getting rid of the gtab and buy an ipad. Less whiners for us to take care of. Let apple take care of them. Apple already got an army of whiners. I say we let them have a few more.

I know this is sarcasm, crossed with a political statement, spliced with some frustration with newbies. But for me it comes off as a dig at the OP.
The nvflash discussion has been had elsewhere, however as an android modding newbie, following Roebeet's NV flash tutorial (due to his constant encouraging) has made mucking around with my Gtab 10x more enjoyable, knowing that I have a way to easily start from scratch. And it's near impossible to set up nvflash in a hurry after you have soft bricked.
Josh, the tutorial above is excellent, and it will certainly get you to where you want to go. But if you hit one of the gtab landmines (trying out 1.1 to 1.2 for example) nvflash will be your best friend.

On the contrary, I stand behind 100% what I said. Like I said before, I fix computers as a side job to bring in an extra dollar or two to go out and party... I mean to pay my bills. Most people, when it comes to computers and gadgets, like to whine more than they like to enjoy their machines. I'm sure apple's got a whole division specializing in dealing with whiners since they already got an army of whiners.
Whiners have nothing to do with being a newbie or not. It's got to do with the spoon-feed-me attitude. Over the months, I have seen complaints about the gtab by dedicated whiners. Everything from "it's .3 lb heavier than the ipad which makes it too heavy!" to "why you no give me honey!" Frankly, neither VS nor this community is properly equipped to deal with whiners. Why not send them to apple and let it be apple's problem?
I'd like to think I'm a resourceful person. When I see a problem, instead of complaining I try to find a solution. I see the gtab as an investment. So, instead of just watching videos on it I have incorporated it into my daily work. I crinch in pain every time I see people whine before they even tried to find a solution. So, why not send them to apple?
I don't mind it for the true whiners, but since you post this everywhere it looks like your trying to fend off any and all new users who have questions. The subtext of "get an iPad" is 'you can't handle this and we don't really want you here.'
That said, your post above went above and beyond to help out the OP. Your a mystery to me goodintentions

okay thanks a lot. i read in the clem+calk ROM thread that some people used CWM, the most recent version, not the .8 version which i have been using. is that correct? or should i use the .8 version?
so all the steps say to download this stuff to your sd card, but i cant actually access my microsd card from CWM. i can only access the folder called SDCARD which is actually my internal memory. should i still download it there? is there another way to access my microSD from CWM? is it okay to leave it on the sdcard folder which is my internal drive?
thanks again!
Your sdcard is your internal space. The microsdcard is called sdcard 2. Cwm only access your sdcard which is your internal.
I have spent days looking for threads so this neewb is about to break something. Well maybe not. I have my daughters Eris 2.1 and am trying to root it for her. I have tried several times with different methods. The issue is that I can get into recovery mode after every 1 click app but nothing I try will let me toggle to unzip to SD, or toggle to anything for that matter, volume wont do it and all track ball will do is let me select reboot. Man my DX was easy compared to the one click method.
HELP PLEASE,
If the trackball is having trouble scrolling, I'd install the trackball-optional custom recovery so you can use other buttons to scroll. There are instructions for doing this here:
http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/214240-amon_ra-1-6-2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html
It sounds like you fall into "Scenario 2" which says you should follow the same method as "Scenario 1" to get rooted using the trackball-optional recovery.
I'll give it a shot, The help is much appreciated,
I am been trying to help him to get this thing to add the Custom Recovery, but every root format has not worked at all. Most are outdated or there are files missing. Specially on the link provided above. The download for the scripts no longer has Root_1 or Root_2, it has a bunch of other stuff there for gscript. Found an link on Droidforums for gscript for rooting and the scripts don't work.
Any complete instructions anywhere?

popfan,
I am not aware that any of the above links or files are missing... Can you point-out / tell me specifically which files you cannot access / download / link-to?
The root_part1 and root_part2 files are part of erisuser1's (bftb0's) Universal Root for Dummies! thread that I do reference in my AF thread, but these should still be up, active, and available.
So, I'm not sure if you are speaking about becoming rooted or installing a my trackball-optional custom recovery.
Let us know.
Cheers!
Im sure my kid has shuned me for leaving her Eris with someone so thanks to everyone for the help. Pop is helping me out and after moving file at the point where it says to open and look to see root 1 and root2 they are not there and there are a ton of other stuff. Also the pick look different than on the thread like the app has been updated. Also when doing the ball recovery there is no tools folder to be found. I'm sure pop wont touch it again till tomorrow so any other help / advice is more than welcome or it may cost me my Dx

LOL, sorry, didn't make/see the connection between your two posts .
Okay, let's try something new here...
Just a week or so ago, I re-packed jcase's 1-click rooting app to include my trackball-optional recovery image in lieu of the original recovery that his app includes.
So, let's have you re-root using the new 1-click app (all credit to jcase, both for his app and his threads both here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228 and over at AF http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/139178-universal-1-click-eris-app-apk-no-pcs-no-scripts-needed-easy.html).
Since you've already used the 1-click app before, then all you'll have to do is grab my new "trackball-optional" version:
https://sites.google.com/site/scaryalienware/downloads/one-click-tbo.apk
MD5 sum: 15763b51cf707c027cc73bc117e1fc39
(the "tbo" in the name stands for "trackball optional" ).
Just follow the same process you did before while running the 1-click app and you should end-up with my trackball-optional recovery installed.
Let me know how it goes (you'll be the first besides me that I know of that has tried it; the user that I created it for to test has not yet responded, LOL).
Cheers!
I tried this link below. It no longer has the root_1 and root_2 in it.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=774XYFRA
I did use your "updated" 1-click app with tbo and it worked great.
Thanks!!
Too bad this phone was not as easy as my captivate.

Glad that jcase's repackaged app worked for you. I'll update my documentation to make this available to others.
Also, re. the above Megaupload link...it works just fine for me (from my PC and from my Droid X) and includes all of the aforementioned root_part1/2 files.
I think you've fallen prey to a truncated download, which is not uncommon with Megaupload in my experience. This is also why is important to double-check the file sizes and MD5 checksums of files that you download so that you know you got the whole-shebang; notice that erisuser1 did include the MD5 in his thread for this file:
- Download gscript.zip (MD5 92796a8c6e61e8f1ee36e315c0acae7d)
I've often found it helpful to use a different browser other than the stock browser (like Opera Mini) when doing downloads via my Eris since the stock browser does seem to have more issues (timeouts perhaps) than it should.
Cheers!
Thanks to all this tuff till you hooked us up but now on to nightmare 2
I downloaded CyanogenMod7.1.0 RC1 [2.3.5 GingerBread NIGHTLY]
from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430&highlight=ROM
Got it up but it has no market so I can not get to titanium, boot loader or anything... It says to flash google apps after the rom but now Im back to the trackball / volume key issue because it's all in titanium. ??? I did a factory reset and it came back up as the new ROM, ???
EDIT UPDATE!!!!
Sorry for the hassle all, the "green" start call button works as the down after the download.. All is well.. I think..
Again thanks to you all, If I hear of any good deals on an Eris I will know why.
You need to download GAPPS to your sdcard. That is why you don't have market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430&highlight=ROM
Its just below link for the rom and save it to your sdcard. Go ahead boot into recovery and wipe data, daliv-cache, cache; Flash Rom again, then flash gapps and reboot.
Hello,
I'm new to the whole ROM flashing scene and I could use just a little help. I've been aware of the basic idea behind it for a while, but with a locked bootloader on my cell phone, I haven't had any actual experience doing it.
I'm needing help because I've bought a G tablet from a guy who has already rooted and flashed the tablet with Flashback 10.1 Honeycomb. After reading up on these forums and watching some videos online, it sounds like honeycomb ROMS aren't working quite as well as the Gingerbread ROMS (I'm primarily getting this tablet for use with videos, and want to use the front facing camera).
After reading about various ROMs, it sounds like Vegan Tab is a good build to run. I went to the website to download the latest build of Vegan Tab and saw that 7.1.0 GingerEdition has been posted.
From what I can gather, Flashback 10.1 uses the 1.2 bootloader. Vegan Tab 7.1 does come with a 1.2 bootloader version so I plan on using this install package. After reading some guides I think I understand how to do it, but would like some reassurance that I'm going to do it right.
My plan will follow in the next post.
Step 1. I unzip my ClockworkMod v08 that I downloaded to the root of my Micro SD card creating an update.zip file and a Recovery folder at the lowest level of my external card.
Step 2. Involves powering down the tab, then power on by pressing Power + volume up and keeping pressed until the birds appear, and wait for clockworkmod to install..(I’m not sure if it will already be installed from the previous user installing Flashback 10.1)
Step 3. I will either re-partition the device as outlined in the guide here on this site, or move along to the next step.
Step 4 Is where I go to the main menu of ClockworkMod and Mount USB Storage while connected to the PC. I then create a ROMS folder at the root of the tablet’s internal storage. Inside ROMS will by my Vegan Tab 7.1.0 .zip file I downloaded earlier (the website stated it is in update.zip format).
Step 5. I will now turn off the device and boot back into Clockwork Mod and go to Mounts and Storage and mount /System and /Data. I navigate back to menu and select install zip from sdcard, then navigate to the ROMS folder using and select the .zip I placed there. Rom is installed.
Step 6. After “Install from scdcard complete” message, I navigate back to main menu and the back to mounts and storage. I mount /system and /data again. Back then to the main menu.
Step 7. Final thing to do is “wipe data/factory reset” I plan to select it to delete all data and cache as advised on the Vegan Tab website where I got my ROM. Once done I reboot one final time.
This is my plan of attack from beginning to end. I’ve read several guides on the process and while I didn’t read how to do it, I read that NVflash is necessary for some installs. My questions are:
Do I need to NVflash if I am installing a new 1.2 bootloader ROM?
Do you think ClockworkMod will already be installed?
Do I need to re-partition the device, or will this cause a problem?
Anyone have any advice on this ROM that I may not know about? I didn’t see a lot posted about it issue wise other than some people having issues flashing from other version of Vegan Tab. I didn’t see anyone posting trouble flashing from Flashback 10.1.
Are there any flaws with my understanding of the process or is there anything I’ve listed to do that will cause the device to brick?
I’m very sorry for the lengthy first time post. I’ve been lurking here for a while reading up on stuff, but I would feel much for confident that I do understand the process.
I’m comftorable with the possible risks of installing a new ROM, but I’m trying to keep the risks to a minimum if at all possible. I can’t thank you enough if you’ve endured and read this whole post. I would appreciate any feedback given.
You don't necessarily need to NVflash, but I would if I were in your shoes. I like to start with stock (periodically) and go through all the steps of getting the ROM up and running the way I want. Especially if I want to stick with one ROM for a daily driver.
To get up and running quickly with NVflash check out this link below "NVflash" on the Flashback OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138100 This download includes all the files you will need to NVflash, and a tutorial for best practices when installing a 1.2 based rom after NVflash. This NVflash will also install clockwork so you can skip that step after.
Your current setup probably has cwm installed already. You can test that by rebooting and holding the + volume button.
If Honeycomb isn't important to you, then I would recommend a Froyo based rom. Froyo has hardware acceleration and is the best for pure speed and stability on this tablet. My current daily driver is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084573
If you haven't discovered this yet http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/ definitely bookmark it as a valuable resource.
Re-Partitioning: If your previous owner knew what he was doing your device is probably partitioned correctly, but you can do it again. It will delete all contents of your sdcard.
Awesome first post by the way
Thanks a bunch for the help! I think I will take your advise, and NVflash to stock before I install another ROM. I read the tutorial at the Viewsonic Gtablet for Dummies site and the guide given there provides a download of NVflash with CWM, but if I'm reading your post right, you think I should use the NVflash posted in the Flashback 10.1 thread.
I'll modify my plans to NVflash as provided in the Flashback 10.1 thread, then resume at step 4 (skipping installation of ClockworkMod, and the re-partition).
I'm reading up on your suggested ROM and thinking now I may go with Froyo based as you advise. I'll ready up on the one you suggested, but I noticed Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 8 final, and think I may try it out as Skype would be nice to have.
Any other tips, or advise is very, welcome!
If you are looking for a second opinion I agree with brett. I used to alternate between Vegan and the various Honeycombs, but I ended up back on froyo myself simply for fully working hardware 100%. I don't remember what rom I last had on mine before I lent it to a friend but once I get it back I myself plan on trying the c&c 8 as well.
Glad your going to start out with an NVflash. There shouldn't be a significant difference between the nvflash files posted on gtab for dummies and the files available from the Flashback OP. But the set I have been using come from the Flashback OP, so It's my default recommendation. I also like the tutorial txt file included with the Flashback OP download.
CC V8 and Beasty are very similar in speed and stability. The primary difference is that CC is based on Tap'n'Tap (gTab Stock) and has some tablet oriented UI features. It's really a toss up between the two for me.
You'll pull your hair out trying to figure out how to change the keyboard on CC, so here is the fix in advance http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummie...2-04-replace-soft-keyboard-in-tnt-based-roms-
Good luck.
Hi all,
First off, just want to say thanks to all of the hardworking devs out there that put a lot of time and effort into these projects. You guys are really awesome!
Secondly, I tried to post this as a reply in the developer's forum, but didn't have enough posts to qualify.
That all being said, I followed all of the instructions in Indirect's post here, but can't get the Nook Tablet to bring up recovery mode when I reboot. It just continues to load the standard B&N image. I even tried a factory reset to see if that would work, but same problem. I verified that the files on the micro-SD card match those as shown in Albert's excellent video here. The device is still running 1.4.0.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
No luck here either...I tried the root while watching Albert's You Tube video at the same time. I think the significant thing is that my screen displays something like:
Extracting files to SYSTEM...
Setting SYSTEM:bin/su permissions to 06755...
Creating SYSTEM:xbin/su symbolic link...
Installation Complete!
Install from sdcard complete.
Whereas the screen in the video shows:
Extracting files to SYSTEM...
Setting SYSTEM:bin/su permissions to 06755...
Creating SYSTEM:xbin/su symbolic link...
Installing GApps 29110878
For Android 2.3.5 Customized for the nook tablet
Mounting data...
Extracting files to data...

Install complete. Enjoy!
Installation Complete!
So clearly my install seems to silently abort somewhere in the middle...
Any insight or advice would be appreciated!

Beatbox,
Just re-reading your post I think I got farther than you, but also got stuck on your issue earlier. If you keep the Nook plugged into the PC via the USB cable during the power on, the Nook will boot into the recovery mode - that at least was what got me past your issue.
It's not about Rooting OR recovery. It's about the fact that this method is still being worked on. Indirect has been making modifications to the various files and it is my opinion that the file used in Albert's video is NOT the same file that would be downloaded if you went and obtained it right now.
I would wait this out until Indirect writes an updated post explaining that the method is finalized.
If this is not an option the original root method works perfectly.
Land - when you say "original root method" are you talking about something that predates Albert's solution?

Cool jearley9, this did indeed work for me and I was able to load the image. Problem now is that I always end up at the normal B&N Setup screen. Were you able to get past that part?
And thanks to all the other thread participants. I know it takes time to work these things out, so no biggie. We all get a little too excited and impatient with things like these sometimes.
Thanks - looking it over now...

Just wanted to provide an update. I attempted the instructions from the original rooting thread (my nook tablet doesn't have 1.4.1 yet, so didn't need to downgrade). When I ran the batch file to root, it detected that the device was already rooted - which I quote from the script, "Is bothersome."
Okay, so i think my device is half-rooted somehow. Just can't get the new home screen that I'm seeing on all the videos. I'll keep you guys updated with my further troubleshooting attempts.
Beat, you and I are at least synchronized - I too tried the original root method, and I had the same exact problem as you describe... a message saying "already rooted". I did a system reset right before I tried the root, so I don't see how it could be "already rooted".
I just purchased my Nook yesterday. I am wondering if there are newer units (mine included) that are more resistant to being rooted?
I'm having the same issue, but I can use the search function to determine that apps WERE installed (and will execute properly). I believe that Indirect has removed ADW launcher and Homecatcher from the zip we're suppossed to drop onto the SD Card. My guess is that we're waiting for him to come up with a solution to the "Market not showing up in launcher" issue.
Can someone confirm this?
Well any other tactics I've tried have been to no avail, so I'll just be patient and wait for Indirect to address it. I'm sure he has enough on his plate without us bugging him.
Many thanks to him again for even working on something like this.
Edit:
Okay, for some reason I missed Albert Wertz's helpful Youtube comment:
Please Vote this comment up so everyone else can read it among all the others. Indirect is making some changes to the script, if you dont get adw to launch right after the first reboot from root, you may have to download it manually from the market. You can use the N button menu search function to pull up market by typing M in the search. You can launcher it from here. Until the bugs are worked out, you may only be able to install from market, sideloading may still be an issue. Indirect is fixin

I did this and have no problem bringing up the Android Market now. Just installed an app successfully. Not sure where it lives though. I could only seem to launch it from the Recently Downloaded icon at the bottom bar.
Edit 2:
Okay, just restarted after installing the ADW and now it prompted me to start with it. Only issue I have now is if I hit the N button, it reverts back to the original Barnes & Noble homescreen and I have to reboot to launch ADW again.
I got pretty much to the same place - I downloaded HomeCatcher but that seems to be non-functional - Looks like the Nook home screen is winning this round...

To truly "reset" the system run the downgrade I linked previously EVEN IF you are on 1.4.0. After that it will be just like you took the NT out of the box. Then run the Indirect Root Batch and the "you are already rooted" should be gone. I would hope so anyway
Land,
I did the press and hold 9 times and got back to factory state.
Also, I tried Brianf21's files and I got the same problem as you. If I try to open Update.Zip from Windows it gives me "Please insert last disk of a multi-volume set...". I would guess that the zip file is malformed or incomplete, but that's just a guess...

I copied this post to the Development Thread in my recent reply to Brianf21. It is conceivable at this point that you and I are the only ones that have tried this. lol
Please put information regarding future attempts in that thread to help him troubleshoot.
Glad to see that you were able to reset. I don't believe it will be necessary again if Brian fixes the issue. To my knowledge simply entering CWM using his image had NO affect on my NT.

Alrighty then.... I don't know if I should laugh or cry. You can't even "post" in the Dev section? I wonder how many posts you need. Seems a little extreme to me but you will get there soon enough I guess.
In the meantime I'll make sure that your comments are known. Thanks!
Just found a beautiful ROM on 4pda forum. The ROM is developed by user booroondook. A few specifications, thanks to Google translate:
- DIY kit for all resolutions/platforms (well, all means RK3066 or RK3188 and the two main resolutions our units support). Just download the archive and run the setup script. Warning! Lollipop ROM only for RK3188!
-FUSE support - File system in User space. internal_sd is part of /data
-OTA system updates
-mostly untouched UI
-support for SD-card located startup script
For my GA2114 this is the most stable ROM to date.
The install procedure a little bit long-enter recovery, install, reset, enter recovery, install again, wait a long time for the intialization scripts to end. When done, enter settings and change the language to English as default is Russian - by far the most complicated part of the setup
You can take a look at it here.
A more detailed install procedure in this post
Latest KitKat build from March 2016 HERE
NEW Lollipop build - March 9, 2017 :Details and download link
Personally I need more info before installing this one. Perhaps Malaysk can comment on this rom
That ROM is significant step forward with FUSE. Installation is not problematic - it justbit strange. You have to install TWICE! First time, after initial boot, the new system partitions and links and file-system permissions are setup (this step cannot be done in recovery during initial firmware update). Then, for redefined OS and file sys mapping, SECOND firmware update (without wipping!) sets up everything in adequate locations (with FUSEd linkage among storage volumes). As you may figure out, you should let device to reboot after first install, but you dont have to let it go into full loading as it will usualy stuck (because needed foles are messesd up as the SECOND install is needed to put them in FUSEd locations).
So if you have problem with Russian and Google Translated very strange output, just do as above. Two times install ROM image. And its all fine.
Now, on the poibt:
I hope Malaysk will pay attention on this. The FUSEd ROM is much advanced option to better utilize our ibternal storage than 2GB or even 4GB data partitions fixed resizing (which is huge improvement itself from idiotic 1GB OEM Chinese 'design' I'm pritty sure is just blind copy-paste from some seed OS image they took from somewhere and they even after several years dont understand at ALL).
So I would kindly ask Malaysk to consider joining efirt with his Russian coleague who did FUSE but is not updating nor customizing his ROM as much and as dynamicaly (and passionately) as Malaysk.
So if Malaysk can adopt, merge, FUSE in his ROM it will be great leap forward for everyone. Original FUSE contribution would continu to live and power up the great Malaysk ROM branch. A I hope other devs them may find interest to join efforts, to contribute to that UNIFIED branch ratger than we have nu.ber of branches, at different stages, with different strengths and weaknesses....
Learning from mature dev teams working for years on phone ROMs, it is important to join, coordinate, split in modular but UNIFIED and at the end combined ROM released. It provided much better results. And it pays off for both us, users, and devs (if we pay respect they deserve for their noble effort).
I will always stress that I personally feel interest to stimulate this community to develop and matture. I'm very disapointed by Chinese very poor SW support, but I have beleive that HW is much more capable. So if we can get advanced SW for these units, it may well pay off for ALL of us who bouth them for fraction of price of OEM ones. An even we can have much better SW and overal functionalities than OEM. So the price difference allows us to dinate deacent sums to devs here if they provided us with good ROMs.

Well, it was Malaysk who actually gave me the idea to look for these ROMS, in this post he mentions the other cooks.
Yes he did in a post where people want different colour on his rom . What I'm saying is I would like to know more like the description Malaysk has in his roms. Is it a big deal to ask you to give us a review of the rom and a step by step guide on installing it if there are some different steps from all the other roms?
Στάλθηκε από το ONE A2003 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
As I wrote, ROM us stock modded to have FUSEd partitions for data. Stabile as stock, looks like stock, perfirms as stock...
I explained install procedure as it is but strange and someone NOT knowing Russian may be buzzed with Google Translation (thinking it is transkation mistake to have double install needed).
But the real problem here us that devs are not joining and coordinating efforts. So we have Malaysk point insatisfied users to other ROMs... When dev starts to divert users to other ROMs, it looks something is wrong here, isnt it?

I can do that, no issue. Just give me a couple of days. It's the least I can do for fellow xda members
FUSE seems to be the right way to go, i hate the fact that as standard i can only use 1gig for user data, and i also don't want to decompile and replace the file for partition and recompile every time i want to update/change rom etc etc.
So i hope Malaysk will pick it up and some proper documentation written by someone

Booroondook DIY ROM details
WARNING! Make sure you can boot into recovery even with the screen off. This will allow you to install a factory ROM if anything goes wrong.
Back up your user data. This ROM has to format the internal Flash so all user data will be deleted.
DISCLAIMER. I am not affiliated in any way with the developer of this ROM. All credits should go to 4pda user Booroondook. I only wanted to share this ROM that works perfectly for my unit, keeping the OEM flavor and vastly improving on functionality - yet is pretty much unknown due to language barriers.
Preparing for installation
1. Download the DIY kit to your computer. Unpack into any empty folder on your computer (the full path to the folder should not contain spaces, non-Latin characters, punctuation marks and special characters, so it is not recommended unpacking on the desktop, in the "My Documents"folder, etc.
2. Switch to the folder where you unpacked the archive.
2. Run start_eng.bat. Since you are reading this HOWTO I assume you are not familiar with Russian.
3. You will be prompted to select a processor. Only two options - RK3066 and RK3188. The selection is made by entering the numbers in front of said processor type, followed by pressing the Enter key
4. Next - the choice of screen resolution. There are also two variants - 800x480 and 1024x600. Selection is carried out in the same manner as in the preceding paragraph
5. After that begins the process of assembling the firmware, which takes less than 10 seconds.
4. Wait for the ROM to be prepared and, when done, exit the batch file.You will have a new file, called update_yourprocessor_yourresolution.img
5.Rename the generated file to update.img
6. Copy the file to an SD-card
Installation
1. Insert the Sdcard containing update.img in your HU.
2. Boot into recovery. On my unit I can do that in two ways:
a. Press the reset button. Keep ot pressed while also pressing the Power button. Release the reset button and keep the power pressed a few more seconds
b. Press the reset button. Press both Home and Power buttons for about 10 seconds (the button light will flash shortly) and release the Home button followed by releasing the Power button then pressing Power again .
2. Do a factory reset - the last option in the list - to clear data and cache
3. Update the firmware. Wait for the unit to reboot.
4. Whe you see the animated logo, reset the HU and re-enter recovery mode
5. Update the firmware again. Wait for reboot
6. The first start will take longer than usual due to the need to re-create the primary filesystem and running of initialization scripts.
Release notes:
Base firmware: HA-20151010
Initial DPI is set to 160 for 800*480 screens and 240 for 1024*600. You can change this in Settings
Initial language is set to Russian. Just go to Settings (you should recognize the icon) and look for язык - this means language in Russian. Click on that and change to your preferred language.
In the release notes, Booroondook says the ROM has USB debugging enabled which will prevent using a USB stick. I don't have that issue so maybe the article is outdated. Anyway, if you have this issue, either type ADBOFF in factory settings password field or delete the file /system/etc/init.d/01adbon
Custscript
If the root GPS-card contains a file with the name custscript, it will be executed when you start the HU.The requirements for the file are the same as in conventional Linux executable scripts. That is, an indication of the shell in the first line and the line breaks Unix-style.
The first line can be: #! / System / bin / sh
For example, if you are experiencing problems with the rebooting in recoveryi (no suitable hardware buttons, or other reasons), then you could put on the card a file with the following content:
PHP:
#! / system / bin / sh
reboot recovery
And your HU will reboot in recovery mode. However, don't forget to delete it when done.
This script can also be used for "early loading" applications and services.
The advantage of the script placed on the SDcard is that unlike install-recovery.sh, if something went wrong, you can simply pull out the card to fix the script. In addition, in some cases, through a script, you can "revive" the HU.
Other features - in no particular order
1. FUSE - no need for App2SD since all space is available for apps or data;
2. OTA system updates;
3. Both OEM launchers available - not in the initial kit, appeared after a second OTA;
Screenshots
Excellent job !
Booroondook is on XDA also, hes posted a good few times in the "original thread" (RIP - the thread, not Booroondook !).
I was aware he used to make ROMs for these units, but this past year its all been about Malaysk's, not heard anything about @booroondooks's.

Mine won't even fully boot after the 2nd update from recovery..Good to see that its not just me..
Edit
Tried with a newly created image from the Bat file.
Still looped but I was able to get it to work from the recovery screen by using the "reset to factory/clear data option"
After that the setup script worked.
New version is out
New version is out, based on HA-20151204. Get it here.
The following is taken from the author's post on 4pda:
Since the original is only for RK3188 / 1024x600, the kernel versions for other combinations of CPU and resolutions are from earlier firmware:
RK3188 / 800x480 - from JY-20150824
RK3066 / 1024x600 - from HA-20151010
RK3066 / 800x480 - from KLD-20151127
New features :
1. Two factory launcher - "HA / JY" and "KLD" - you can change the settings (Display -> Desktop). Both are fully functional (weather, radio, music, Bluetooth)
2. Support for trip computer "Multitronics MPC-800" - no need for Xposed module
3. Changes to preinstalled applications in the "OEM" section:
3.1 preinstalled applications (can be completely or selectively removed (Settings - Applications)):
- Chrome
- Root Explorer
- Terminal
- Titanium Backup
- True Contacts
- DPI Changer
3.2 Preloaded set of Xposed modules
3.3 APKs for manual installation ( OEM ):
- AirPin PRO
- CarService 2.1.3
- DAB
- EasyConnected.HT01.4.0.4-151012
- GScript_v.1.1.2_Rus
- Headunit 2.15
- IOnRoad.apk
- Multitronics_2015-12-24_beta
- RemoteADB
- Torque
- TPMS
4. Removed DPI change from the "Settings". Added app "DPI Changer" (pre-installed)
Hi @m00n61,
Is the version you just posted the one for 1024x600 rk3188?
If I understood well, have to install that twice?
Thanks!

The link is for the so-called "constructor" that can generate the Rom for your CPU/resolution combination. Just follow the steps in the first post to generate the one you need.
If you come from stock or another ROM, yes, you have to install twice and clear data/cache before and between installations.
If you already have the previous version installed then you only need to install once and it will be upgraded, keeping all your apps.

It should work. looks like you have a RK3188/800*480 unit. To be sure, go to Settings ->About tablet and check the 3rd line. If it starts with MTCB, this ROM will work for you.
What about RK3188 with 1024*600? I only see 1024*600 for RK3066, not for RK3188...
