I formatted the touchpad because windows asked me to and now whenever I try to access files on my touchpad I can't access them on the device. I move the files using windows 7, they show up on my pc, but when I try to access them on my cm7 hp touchpad they don't show up. For example I go into file manager and it shows me nothing that I moved to storage. It shows all of the android folders such as DCIM, Downloads etc... but when I open my storage up on my computer I see none of those folders and only the files I moved to storage via PC. Any help?
Edit: I used webOS doctor to go back to 3.0.4 and without any android installed. The problem persists and now when I try to install CM7 again I get the message "no cminsall dir found nothing to install" I've googled and looked for solutions but I can't find any. It's as if I'm placing these files on a part of the memory I can't access without windows 7 or something.

Same thing happened to me. I wiped and formatted using clockworks and then applied the image again.
Sucks to reconfigure, but all fixed.
Ok, you used webos doctor to restore the webos file system. Not you need to recreat the cminstall folder on the touchpad and go through the entire cm7 install process again. The issue most people forget is that webos and android use entirely different file structures than those of windows.. both are linux based operating systems and are not conpatible with windows. It sucks, I know but you will have to start from the begining again.

I have a non-rooted, running CM7 from an SD card. I have the USB drivers from xboxexpert. My nook is in debug mode. I've tried both USB storage on and off. I used Droid Explorer and Sideload Wonder Machine 1.2 and neither will recognize the nook. I can't get any combination of the above items to side load apps.
I can see the proper USB show up in device manager. I've tried different cables and ports on the PC. Tried multiple PCs. If I had any hair it would've fallen out. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

just tried this and still doesn't recognize nook.

What is it exactly that you are trying to accomplish? It doesn't sound like you are trying to side load an app.
Side loading an app is the easiest thing to do in the world and you don't need ADB to do so. Just make sure the install from "unknown sources" is checked under the applications settings page and install away.
Just use Dropbox to transfer the apk over... no need for adb... And fyi CM is rooted.

I guess I was trying to do it the hard way. I got it now.
Use Windows file explorer to drop APK file to Nook. Use File manager on Nook to find APK file and click it. Install app.
Yes, like another posting says, "small kids are pointing at me and laughing".
Thanks guys

So, last night i tried to flash GtabComb to my 1.1 Gtab. After 3 unsuccessful installs (which I now believe are attributed to the system partition size of only 200 rather than 250 [help here would also be apprciated]) i downloaded the latest Rom Manager and updated ClockWork Mod. After the initial scare that my SD card had been totally formatted, i found that for some reason, this new CWM likes to use the second SD card... You know, the one with no backups or anything saved to it. For now, I am running a random ROM (Vegan Gingerbread) until i find out how to switch the SD card read by CMW. So any help guys? It's probably something really simple I'm over looking.. Help is appreciated greatly. Thanks
Edit: On a side note, I finally got GtabComb to load on my tablet! Seems I only needed a little bit of patience...

The best way to install CWM is through NVflash. Rom manager is really designed for phones not this tablet. NVflash is simple and easy to use as long as you have a desktop or laptop using either windows or Linux. Here is the link to guide you through those steps. Helped me out when I was in a jam.
http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies...om/nvflash.htm
Thanks for the advice! NVFlashing is a tad of a problem for me, however. I've actually commented on that particualr NVFlashing tutorial earlier today explaining how my computer won't recognize my tablet while it's in APX mode. I seem to have the worst luck with this kid of thing..
Would there another way to change which card is being read?
Do not use Rom Manager on the Gtablet it will mess things up. You can go to this link and download a .zip installable version of CWM for your bootloader. There are versions for installing from either the internal or external sdcard. If you are not installing from the external sdcard, it is best to remove it.
You could also check out this thread, and this one for more info.
It sure does mess things up! And that CWM.zip would be great had I not had another (worse) version already installed.. woe is me. I'll give those threads a read tomorrow and hope something turns up. Thanks for the links!

That would be the way to go but if you can't access the current CWM you cannot get it to install anything. The only other alternative would be to figure out why the computer won't recognize the tablet in APX mode. What OS are you trying it with?
Try this:
Download this .zip file and extract it to your Gtablet's sdcard.
Using a root file manager (ES, Root Explorer, etc.) mount /system as read-write (rw) and move the downloaded files in each folder to their proper locations (copy the system/etc/recovery folder into /system/etc and the files in system/bin into /system/bin) and make sure all the permissions are correct. The recovery images should be -rw-r--r--, the scripts inside of /bin should be -rwxr-xr-x and flash_image should be -rw-r--r--.
Open a terminal emulator and type 'su' (without quotes) and allow SuperUser when it asks. Your shell prompt should go from a '$' to a '#'. Now type 'cwmrecovery.sh' (without quotes) and enter. That should install cwm-08 for you, just exit when it finishes and try to reboot into recovery. You can use the 'fixrecovery.sh' script to flash the stock 1.1 recovery if you ever need to.
See the last thread I linked to in my last post for more info on this. Good luck!

Just extracted to the external SD that was being read from and updated from there with the new CWM and bam! .08 is on and working like a charm. Many thanks!

I would love to know why it doesn't. I was previously using a froyo tap'n'tap, but now I am running 3.0.1. Would OS make a difference? I always assumed it was my tablet/PC's/luck

The OS on the tablet doesn't matter since the APX mode is the tablets download mode. The OS on you computer is what might be the issue, or could even be just a bad USB port or even drivers being used. If the computer keeps promptings that software needs to be installed. Guied the it to install them from the extracted NVflash file and install the ones that are in the pack.

As the post above said, the OS on your PC is probably your problem. Which OS are you using? WinXP, Win7? I can't for the life of me get Windows7 to recognize my ICS Gtablet but o'well!
If you are comfortable with using or trying Linux, you could try installing Knoppix on a USB drive and run that. I think Knoppix has everything set up for MTP & ADB already and is 'live' so no real configuration is needed to get it running (except for your wifi of course). Just use the Linux version included in most NvFlash packages. If you have a fairly powerful computer, you could also try running Linux in a VM, but Knoppix doesn't run in a VM very well.
My favorite is Arch Linux (not in a VM). Although you have to build and configure the system yourself from the ground up. Since I started using Linux I have really enjoyed it. It is much faster than Windows, more secure and gives me less problems than the Win PCs I deal with. Check out this site if you are interested in Linux.

To top on this excellent information. If you decided to try a Linux disto I would recommend a version of Ubuntu, doesn't really matter which one they are all really user friendly and depending on you pc setup depends on which version of it you can use. I have 11.05 installed on a 2nd partition for doing my Droid stuff on a computer that is around 9 years old, runs smooth. Windows xp is the other alternative which I have used several times NVflashing stuff, but adb seems to run better through Linux in my opinion.
Ah, mind went blank there. Right now, all I have is a windows 7 laptop (my XP desktop and older Vista laptop are probably long gone) Ive attempted to flash before with the vista laptop to no avail. In both instances, I connect the tablet in APX and it was not even recognized as a connected device. I'm hesitant to run Linux, even from a flash drive. If I get the chance to soon, I may very well end up doing it, as it appears the ONLY option.. Thanks for your help guys. If you could think of anyway for Windows 7 to recognize my tablet, please let me know. You guys are a great help. Thanks again!
If you haven't already tried this maybe it will work for you.
- Put the tablet into APX mode, then plug in the USB. Windows7 will drag on then fail installing the drivers, as usual.
- Go to Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Device Manager and find the '!' (unknown device)
- Right click and choose Properties, then Uninstall Driver (if it is an option)
- Next, click on Update Driver, then choose Browse My Computer ...
- Navigate to the NVFlash folder (the one you extracted from the nvflash .zip you downloaded)
- Open the folder inside called 'usbpcdriver' or similar, and select the .inf file (NvidiaUsb.inf) and choose to install it. Once it installs, it should recognize the tablet as a MTP device. If not turn off the tablet, unplug the USB, restart Windows and plug it back in when it is finished rebooting and start the tablet in APX mode again. If it still doesn't recognize it try the whole process over agian.
I can understand being hesitant toward running Linux but running from a flash drive or in a VM is pretty safe, as in if you mess up the OS you can always start over without damaging Windows. Done it many times! Try running Ubuntu in a virtual machine such as Virtual Box, it is almost as user friendly as windows and you can have the VM capture USB devices such as the Gtablet which Ubuntu should recognize. Probably won't run very fast on a laptop but if you have at least a dual core with 2 GB of ram it should be pretty smooth.
Not trying to push Linux on you or anything, just some suggestions. From what I hear most of the Gtab devs use Windows7 and it seems to work great for them!
I know the images are in there because of my android file explorer. The problem is I am unable to view them on my windows 7 pc and I do have show hidden files and folders checked on my windows pc. I use an app that downloads them. They are just jpegs but do show on android but not on windows.
Note: This seemed like a general question and if I posted this in the wrong place I'm sorry. G2x with Eaglesblood ICS R5
Are those files encrrypted ?
Or maybe you have disbaled the option in windows to show hidden files?

Figured it out I think but thanks. Having problems with ICS so I rolled backed to gingerbread Weapon G2X. Android ICS comes up as a media player in windows, not like completely like a normal external storage. I believe all I had to do was rescan the sd card .....if I didn't fall back to gingerbread.
To explain it simply,
My extSDCard used to have 2 folders once upon a time. Then I connected the phone to windows. Then unplug it.
Now I have renamed one of the folders from 'Pictures' to 'Pics'. And I add one extra folder with 2 GB of Data in it. This is done using Root Explorer Android App.
Now I connect the phone to windows PC. Windows still shows the original 2 folders [with one of the folders still named Pictures] and does not show the new 3rd folder, but only shows a reduction in available memory space.
What is happening!!!? Running Latest CM10.1 Nightly with Siyah Kernel.
Not sure how this problem started - I reckon its got something to do with Root Explorer. Not sure though.
You should provide a screenshot of the folder in root explorer and again in windows

I have had that kinda problem, don't know, but I figured out how to fix it, at least temporarily and partially, I think that's something related to MTP.
Try reboot your phone several times should help, or run media scan .
Another way to avoid this is use ADB commands to push and pull files will not not encounter this problem as far as I can tell

Yeah if i restart loads of times and then connect it to the PC, then the filesystem on the PC shows the updated android filesystem. But if I disconnect and make any more changes, then the same problems again...

Hello!
I just updated my ubuntu to the latest version, 13.04, and I wanted to transfer some files to my Galaxy s2 (i9100). I have had problem earlier which included slow transfer speed and I got 4 dialog screens wanting me to connect both the internal and external Sd-card instead of 2.
When I tried to transfer my files to my external Sd card I got an error message,
Code:
Error creating directory: Input/output error
. I thought that it was weird but since I was in a hurry I didn't have time for it. I opened my audio map on the computer but I didn't see any files there. I thought it was just my computer being slow so I disconnected my phone.
When I later tried to listen to music I couldn't find any with Apollo so I opened a file manager and I couldn't see my files there either. I restarted my phone but the music is still not showing. I also found out that also all my pictures are gone from the external Sd-card.
The custom ROM I have is ReVolt 4.3 if that would be to any help.
That's it for using Ubuntu.Use Windows or MAC like a normal man.

I'm sorry, that's garbage. That's not a solution.

Have all your files gone? If so it must have got wiped during a faulty mounting procedure, I am guessing you tried to mount the device as a USB storage device, faulty cables or improper connection have been known in my experience to do that that's why I say MTP is always safer because android still has control over the memory,unlike UMS it doesn't un mount the memory when connecting to a host device.
And personally I prefer Linux over any other OS, especially ubuntu linux.
But again there could be some bugs with the latest ubuntu.
Edit: also not to alarm you input/output error usually in linux means a hardware issue related to the external memory connected. But as I said before it could be something else like improper connection or a driver error.

Well, my photos have been replaced by some files with around 1 bytes in size and their name is similar to eachother.
I used the same cable and usb-port as before. I didn't know that you could use MTP on ubuntu. It seems like you have to install it yourself which I haven't done yet.
The weird thing is that I successfully conncted my external harddrive and it showed up on the computer and I managed to transfer some files to the computer. I didn't get any error message what so ever with the harddrive.
I have had this computer several years now and maybe it's time for an upgrade...

Replaced by small files you say? I think the files might have got corrupted, try running a disk error checking tool on your memory cards something like chkdsk(in Windows) for both your device memory, and didn't you say that you upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04? 13.04 supports MTP by default only in the previous versions were MTP a pain in the ass, we had to install the MTP library and had to install gMTP and it WAS a pain in the ass, but I haven't yet started using Raring to check how much efficient the new feature is, it will surely be polished from 13.10 onwards anyhow.
These kind of pain in the ass limitations force's me to dual boot windows with my Linux distribution(I occasionally change it).

I tried to run the chkdsk from windows 7 but after a while it just stopped. I will try again when I have more time on my hands. Maybe over night and see if it can find anything. Now my Audio map is gone and all the files in DCIM is called Q and have 0 bytes in size.
I did however find 2 albums that I had deleted myself in the .trash1000 map.

Ok I have now searched my memory with these instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCtbHV2RKWs. It searched the whole memory but it didn't find any errors. I'd guess I'd be best off if I formatted the card again and start over.
I also checked with "chkdsk /f :f" from the command and I got the same results.

If it went through fine all must be well, formatting is a good idea though as it will probably remove any problematic data block problems.
