Viewsonic update released today - G Tablet General

I just got back to my desk and had the notification that an update was available. I ran it and my GTablet is running noticibly faster.
Not sure what was all included, but it was a nice surprise...

I'm ripping it apart, now. 1800 on Quadrant, AB works (so they grabbed something from the new Tegra drivers), no Flash that I can see.

roebeet,
So this is apparently not the update (with Flash) that's suppose to be coming out mid-December (12/16?)?
Jim

well.....
well it would seem that the update really did fix some problems. Angery Birds now runs on the factory ROM (video driver improvement)

Fixed WPA Enterprise or EAP support?

the factory linked (G-market) seems to work now to.

(For TnT Lite users) I am underwhelmed -nothing I can see worth mentioning, yet. Not even a kernel update.
I'm going to release a TnT Lite 2.3.0 tomorrow most likely, but this is not the 3.0.0 I was hoping for. Maybe you can find a bug fix in there that I might have missed.

Hi,
On my new (just picked up) Gtab, settings=>About is showing:
Tap UI version: 1.0-2736
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-000000-10.8.2-dirty
Build: FRF91
Where is that on the revisions from Viewsonic (e.g., is it the original? Or an update?)?
The reason for the question is that I haven't configured WIFI yet, and am assuming that I'll get that notification when I do, and am trying to figure if I should do the new update or not?
Jim

Update failed.
After the update downloads and then reboots the gtablet, I get an andriod image with an exclamation mark. After power down the gtablet boots find and informs me that the update failed.
The only two customizations I have are:
Z4 Root
ClockworkMod
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?

Hi,
Any comments about the above? The reason for the question is that I'd seen comments about how slow the stock software was, but the tablet seems to be reasonably responsive (to me)...
Jim

Let me know when you solve this one. I have the same problem. I have looked all over Google and nothing about removal

Hi, Have you tried contacting Viewsonic tech support?
Jim

Even though this update means nothing to my gtab, it certainly does increase my respect for VS. At least they are somewhat following through with what they say.

Wise. Yes, I will do that.

There are some posts saying that that older update doesn't install with CWM installed. Maybe that's your problem?

It doesn't - you need standard recovery to use their update process. Or, just grab it from here: http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/tapntap/update-smb_a1002-3053-user.zip
and drop it somewhere and run cwm against it. It will work, but it will change cwm back to standard recovery.

Roebeet does this zip restore the gtab to completely stock?

Bought mine today, charged it up, downloaded the update....and now I am stick in a boot loop. Had not even tried to do anything yet, just getting it updated to the latest. Any ideas what I can do, or am I doomed already?

Yes, except the user data which should be retained. This link is straight from TnT Inc. and it's what they've been pushing down to devices today.

Just ran update, and it removed GMail, Gtalk,Maps, and.... Market.
in ADW the icons are there, but they say not installed
Oh Superuser icon same thing.

DI18 update for Stock Roms Only

Firon was nice enough to make sweet sweet magic. if im right, this will let you update to DI18 if you are on a custom rom/kernel and it will "do the deed" for you.
Firon said:
Here's a signed update that will not trash your recovery, kernel, or root. You do not need a stock kernel for this update.
It will restore only the required stock files/apps and update your modem, so as long as you're on DI07, it should successfully update.
I tested it already on my own phone, worked great.
This way you don't need to restore a bunch of random files to update.

Only use the attached .zip if you are fully stock!
so i pulled a copy of the DI07 to DI18 update off of my cache partition. anybody want it to mess with?
*edit*
no changes have been made to it. ill let someone else which more adept skills do what they do best. I simply just got the notification, grabbed it from cache and threw it up here.
*edit2*
gotta be 100% stock (minus clockwork)
simple fix? Flash This before you flash the update.
Would it install on its own? If so throw it up here.

Thanks. Installed just fine.
In regards to the upload speed fix alone (not tested much else yet):
DL UL
65 101
294 241
63 162
95 197
Well...those numbers suck but it does prove that the UL is no longer stopping below 170 UL (my highest ever). Will test later, too.
I went outside and ran it a couple more times and it's looking good.

Thanks, installed fine for me. Upload is still ify.

It installed fine for me. Still doesn't seem to be working right.
Do i have to install all my stuff again to install this? And is this the real update?
First off this is my first android phone and this is one heckuva community ! Still hadn't gotten any OTA update so I installed with this one. Installed perfectly with clockworkmod, speedtested on two different servers and it seems to have fixed the problem! Sending that screenshot to my e-mail was also much less painful Thanks newkidd!

Yeah ull need to have the stock apps and odex files or wait for someone to take this and make ita zip file we can just flash through clocworkmod. I tried it and it aborted after it didn't find some odex file ...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Does this effect root or cwm? I'm unrooted at the moment because i only use root to remove apps, which would have pointless because i wanted this.
Guys, please report battery life with this update in the next few days. I know DI07 greatly reduced it (due to that DRM service it seems), but I'm hoping this one is better.

My root was kept through the update. I was running on stock with just joey's root fix and it is still rooted after the update.
I haven't rebooted, but I suspect I may have to reinstall recovery, though, because when I looked in the update.zip, they had the recovery-install in there again. Not confirmed, though.
The update came in OTA for me about 10 minutes ago. I went ahead and applied it, and with about 5-10% left on the status bar at the bottom (during the Updating modem phase) it seems to have hung. Most of the 10 minutes has been stuck in that spot. I'm afraid to pull the battery and brick it, but on the flip side it's doing me no good if it's just sitting here like this permanently, either. Anyone else see anything similar?
And I am currently running completely stock and NOT rooted, so I should be the perfect target candidate for the update. Haven't had the time or need yet to make those changes.
Worked beautifully. Make sure you flash back to stock DI07. This will delete your clockwork recovery, but not your root script.
It works
Installed using stock recovery (i.e. signature verification works).
I used noobnl's zip dump of DI07 to restore files I had removed/replaced.
I applied this update without removing root and had root after updating. (Verified with titanium as well as terminal emulator by running commands $su, # remount rw /system) note that I had replaced the oneclick busybox with titanium's download to keep it happy.
Note: I had rooted at DI07 since I used ODIN at this point in the past, so I was using a newer version of the one-click root.
3G speed test results:
Ping (ms)/Down (kbps)/Up (kbps)/Location
207/261/541/At my cubicle (top floor, but 500ft away from the nearest exterior wall/window)
325/307/547/In a breezeway (also top floor, exterior windows on both sides)
EDIT:
172/675/699/Courtyard ~100 feet from nearest building under a tree.
Still looking like upload is faster than download in my area... but it's definitely fixed.
Also: here's my tethered results (from my cube)
It doesn't affect root - I was rooted before and I still am. First thing I did once the update installed was remove junk apps after having to put them back for the update to work.
Recovery seems to be gone, though. I installed it through clockwork but I just tried booting into recovery again and it brought me to the stock recovery. So it seems you'll have to reinstall clockwork if you apply the update.
Speed test results are atrocious, but that's the norm in the middle of the day near my office. This morning I had 725/146, but I've run three tests since then, all AFTER applying the DI18 update:
82/10
283/16
221/29
Yes, 82/10. You read that right. That is what 3G is like where I am sitting right now. But I have 4G here so it doesn't matter. And 3G seems to be a little better in other places. I will test again in a different area and see if this improves uploads.
I take it from all of these positive responses that nobody else experienced it hanging near the end of the flash process?
Anyone with experience have any recommendations on what I do?
I just tried to flash this using clockwork, didn't like that I have the Galaxy MobileAP installed and not the Sprint one and aborted. Will have to wait until somebody else releases a version that will work anyways.

Reflashing May Not Be Enough....

I'm not expert enough to say this is the answer to a lot of people's problem -- but I'm going to throw it out anyway and hopefully some of the "really expert" people will jump in.
Several times when I have had major problems, I have found that the file structure/files/etc. on my tablet were messed up. Before I could reinstall, I had to re-partition, wipe caches, etc.
I read a lot of posts about people having major lockups or loops and then just trying to reload and reload software assuming that is the only problem -- and not getting good results.
It seems to me that if there is a serious enough malfunction to have to nvflash or do a major recovery -- it would be good to re-partition, wipe caches, etc. in case there is corruption or other structure problems.
What I think we need is for one of the gurus to make us a procedure for "Rebuilding the /sdcard File Structure" (or something like that. Repartition to 2048 and 0 --- and then what else? Which things need to be wiped, formatted, etc.
I'm pretty good a discerning what's wrong -- and I think some of these rebuilds are failing because of this problem.
Right? Wrong? Other ideas? Procedure?
Rev
P. S. -- Enough folks are having these problems right now that this could be an important help for them if I am right......
I PM'd, but the short version for the forum.
I've obviously seen a lot of issues with the TNT Lite 5.0.0, and I've whittled it down to two major problems. First off, not everyone reads instructions. This was fine pre-TNTL 5.0.0 as the instructions really were the same for every version preceding it. But 5.0.0 changed the playing field drastically. Which leads me to the my second point....
I think that some of us have been using mods for so long now that stock was no longer an option without an nvflash. Viewsonic, for example, had a bootloader update in December and I believe a recovery change with 3588. But since a lot of us have been using mods for months, we never got those updates. So, when the time came to revert back to stock, there were problems.
In some ways, TNT Lite 5.0.0 is almost like a tablet cleanup - it's the first update I've had where a stock pre-req was required, and the first one in a very long time where I added a stock bootloader and recovery.
nvflash and tnt 5.0
I tried to go 5.0 after i did nvflash and it instantly did an update ota so when I tried tnt 5.0 it got stuck at the birds for like 15mins, so I nvflashed again.
What am I doing wrong?

Not sure -- sounds like you did it correctly. nvflash to 2967, OTA to 3588 and then TNTL 5.00. You didn't install clockworkmod, correct? You need 3588 recovery for this to work.
oops yes I did. ok
Charles77 said:

That would do it. The reason why 3588 recovery is needed is because it updates the bootloader, whereas I believe clockwormod does not.
I'm kinda stuck here, and need some help...
A co-worker has this G-tablet, and gave it to me for the weekend, to load a custom ROM on it so she can watch Hulu and other videos on it.
I did my homework prior to touching ANYTHING, so I made sure it was at 3588 stock, then downloaded the TnT 5 images, along with nvflash and the stock image in case anything went wrong.
Got Tnt 5 up and running, but ran into the issue where it wouldn't sleep (required a reboot to work again). This wouldn't do, so I decided to downgrade to TnT 4.25. The hell started from there...
After flashing TnT 4.20, it got stuck on the birds boot screen. No worries I thought, just run nvflash and everything will be out-of-box new 'n fresh.
I have nvflashed this damned thing about 18 times now, and keep getting the problem where it will flash fine, then reboot fine. But if the unit is powered off or reboots, it gets stuck in APX mode, and won't do anything until it's nvflashed again.
Please help! At this point, I'll be happy just with getting back to status quo ante...
UPDATE: I forgot to mention: I'm accessing this G-tablet from a Win 7 laptop, to which I installed the nVidia USB driver.

There was another user, tcrews, who had what sound like the same problem. I don't know if he's still posting, but he had a thread "need some guidance", and I don't think he ever resolved it.

darthbubba et all,
The files from otreblada that are in this download are the same files roebeet and others have provided -- just packaged together in one set.
To nvflash you have to have:
1. the files for the program nvflash
2. the .img, boot, etc. files
3. the USB driver files.
All of these are referenced and available in several places.
I am glad, however, that this might be a solution for some of you who seem to
have recurring problems.

-Support for an external Docking station
-Support for USB keyboard and mouse
-Support Weather for international cities
-Support for Spanish and French languages
-Lock screen that optimizes power consumption when idle
Wondering if there's a clockworkmod style recovery in this like what was in the pulled 3991 update.

I know what I'll be doing; patiently awaiting your verdict on this update. =]
Updating as we talk . let's see what it bring to us...
Important, please read
I just went back to 2967, and I'm only seeing 3588 as an update.
I think 3588 is a gateway ROM, which is what I suspected last month. If you update your stock device to 4349, please do NOT flash to any mods, after that (at least not yet). Please let us test this, first - give me about an hour to run a few scenarios.
I will explain the reasons for this, as I do my tests to confirm what's going on.
EDIT: 2967 stock to 4349 stock causes a soft-brick. I think we have the same bootloader issue. Still running tests.
Thanks!
Updateing now. Wonder how much this will be like two tap x?

This is my first post ever and I just wanted to say thanks to all the Dev's out there.

hmm for some reason i can boot after i use nvflash to go to stock...its stuck on the tnt screen...any ideas how to get past that??? I am coming from the Vegan GB RC1 rom
Its not bad, my only issue at the moment is long holding on the desktop and trying to change the wallpaper gives me an error. The on screen keyboard is definitely faster though.
I never got much chance to play with the previous builds, so I can't give comparisons. I had an issue where everything came to a halt. I had to to a hard shutdown. When it rebooted, I had to reinstall everything I downloaded from the Amazon Appstore. Seems to be working fine now.
rbansal2,
It takes a long time to get past the Tnt screen. If being patient doesn't work, you will need to load or flash CWM and go in and do the repartition, wipe dalvic cache, fix permissions, wipe cache, wipe/reset factory data routine to clean the tablet up.
Then reflash stock again and see if you don't get a usable base to OTA up to 3588.
Rev
P. S. -- This was a quik note so if you don't remember, ask me.
Seems good to me! Of course I like the stock tnt setup
I didn't play with custom roms because they looked like my tab was a giant phone most even had a phone icon.

You'll probably need to repartition the sdcard. You can install clockworkmod using the microSD method or nvflash method and then use it to repartition to 2048 and 0. Remember that repartitioning will delete everything on the user partition (what's called "sdcard" in the rom). Back up your data before doing this.
I had this same problem a while ago after a nvflash and that's how I fixed it.

[Q] 3.2.1 update keeps failing

I searched the forum but couldn't find an answer. I have tried several times to update my TF to 3.2.1 but the update keeps failing.
I get a system update notification. The tablet shuts down. The little green android with the gears on his stomach appears with a progress bar under it. The progress bar gets about 1/3 of the way then an exclamation mark appears in a yellow triangle. The a few minutes later the tablet restarts and it says that the update failed.
I am currently on build number HTJ85B.WW_epad-8.6.5.9-20110816. My TF is unrooted.
Is this happening to anyone else? Anyone have any suggestions besides doing a factory reset then trying the update again? Thanks in advance for any help.
Was it rooted before?
Rooting itself doesn't break updates it's what you do whilst rooted that can, so unrooting isn't necessary. I'm having this issue again as I removed some Asus apps with Titanium Backup which I now can't get back (I did them when there was a bug in TB which didn't backup apps properly). The OTA update script checks the integrity of a bunch of apps and files, which if it fails will abort the update in the way you are seeing. Very annoying.

Yeah it was rooted. I just realized that immediately after I rooted it, I had made a CWM backup. I'm going to try to restore the backup and see if the update goes through. (fingers crossed)

Nope, stock 3.2. The only thing that I flashed was a custom kernel.
The update still didn't work with my backup. Luckily the WW 3.2.1 update was posted in the development section, so I just re-rooted and flashed the update. Worked like a charm.
yeah, I think that your kernel will cause the update to fail since it updates some of the kernel modules.

[Q] how to update a 5.0.1 rooted?

Hey community,
after updating my 5.0 LTE 32 Shield Tablet some month ago and rooting it, I came to the conclusion that I don't really need root, but would like to continue receiving OTAs and have a device that just works.
Prio1:
Have a tablet with the latest updates installed.
Prio2:
As 1, but rooted.
I have made a apps+sysapps backup with Titanium.
What do you recommend as the next step?
Thank you very much.
All the best, Esshahn

1. I noticed I'm actually having 5.0 on my Shield. It's the 5.0.1 update plus the nVidia stuff that comes up all the time in the notification center.
I really just want to undo all root and whatnot actions and have a right out of the box experience on my Shield. I already did some stupid stuff (factory reset) and therefore lost my personal data anyway, so there's nothing to lose.
I noticed this forum isn't really active. If anyone doesn't know the answer, but could point me to the right forum for help that would be nice too.
Thank you
flash the full OTA through recovery: https://forums.geforce.com/default/...hread-released-2-17-15-/post/4464815/#4464815
then reinstall supersu through recovery, no factory reset needed
Thank you for replying.
I got annoyed by it all yesterday and flashed 2.1, now I don't have root or custom recovery anymore.
Now the fun part: When I want to update to 2.2 normally (since it's now supposed to be a standard device without any hacks), it just shows the error robot.
So now I'm stuck with 2.1 and can't move left or right.
After reading all those comments about messed up colors in 2.2 I'm wondering if its actually worth the effort to update?
Any idea on that Bogdacutu?
Thanks,
Esshahn

you can flash the full OTA through TWRP or CWM, no idea why it won't work with stock recovery though
the update supposedly fixes the graphics glitches that appear in various apps on update 2.1, that might be a good reason to update
Thank you!
Actually, since I didn't have CWM installed anymore, I just sideloaded the latest OTA, which worked nice.
