I bought a g-tab for my wife for Christmas. I wanted it to be working well right out of the box so I tried to put TNT-lite on it before she started playing with it.
I installed vs 3.0 tnt-lite using the usb connection as outlined in one of these threads. Ended up in a boot loop.
I managed to instal clockworkmod vs 08 via the micro sd card
tried all the following to reinstall vs 2.2 of tnt-lite with no success:
clockwork mod, cleared data, cleared cache, formated sd card
loaded tnt lite vanilla on sdmicro card,
altered the command file to point to sdcard2
clockwork does not offer an option to load the zip file from sdcard2, only from sdcard.
tried mounting sdcard-ext believing it was the microsd, but still clockwork could not see the zip install file.
I can't get my pc to recognize the tablet anymore, so all I have is sd card to fix the problem,
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to do the following:
get the machine to boot into tnt 2.2 with marketplace and flash working using only an sd card.
I'm new to droid aps and a virgin with this machine, so please be very specific.
Thanks
Reid
Did you format the SD card, or Partition the SD card? The latter is the one that seems to correct this issue for most people.
In clockworkmod, go to "Advanced" and then "Partition SD Card". This will erase both /data and /sdcard, so be aware of this. And it takes about 4-5 minutes to run. 2048 and zero swap are the common sizes to use.
If this doesn't work, the only other suggestion I have is to setup nvflash. I have a post that describes this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950
Good luck!
If I can repartition the sdcard, will I be able to load the tnt-lite via the micro sd card? That is to say, if I load the tnt-lite zipped file and the recovery folder on the micro sd, will it load automatically, or do I have to remove clockworkmod first and then reinstall the basic recovery software?

Haha! OMG I was stuck on a boot loop twice with two G Tabs. Partitioning is what fixed the error. IDK why but it did, reflashed, wiped, and it booted normally. The Nvflash didn't work for me btw on both occasions. Don't get scared.. its fixable.

Sorry for double post but did not see your response. Okay if you go to the vanilla rom it will remove Clockworkmod(it was either this or Nvflash removed Clockworkmod for me). I went to vanilla, no luck, then partitioned, reflashed TnT Lite, wiped data and cache, then rebooted. This is what fixed my problem. You can reinstall Clockworkmod using the same method used to install it.
issue fixed
Thanks all for the help. I repartitioned the sd card, cleared data and it rebooted into tnt lite vs 3.0!
I was seeing other launchers with more options and widgets to put on the desktop on youtube. Is it ok to add a different launcher to this build?

I'll try this forum, over 200 views on my other posts and no suggestions. Is the problem that obscure ? The tablet, while not worthless, is getting there as I am unable to load any of the hacks and fixes to the SD card to install. Is there a work-around the SD card so I could reinstall the g-sensor fix ?
With all the great minds on this forum, surely someone will have some insight into my problem. To start with I am running the latest Vegan release (thanks Team) and have been since 1/1. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this problem was that I foolishly removed my SD card without dismounting it and popped in a blank one to see if it was working. Since then, I am unable to mount an SD card. If just says "Unmount in Progress". When I click on unmount, it will unmount it and give me the "Mount SD card" option, when I try to mount it, it will say "preparing SD card", then go back to "Unmount in Progress". When I try to mount a new card, it says "Card blank or unsupported file system". But all the other card I have used in my Gtab give me the same Unmount in Progress issues. I reinstalled Vegan. Apps that used to work, no longer work, they just open and close (No FC message)
Someone please help !!!

I'm not one of the g tablet great minds but I'll make a suggestion that always works for me.
1) Format your external SD card in a computer with Fat32. Preferably not a quick format.
2) Using Recovery wipe EVERYTHING, repartition/format the internal memory.
3) Reboot into Recovery
4) Connect to a computer, mount usb, copy your files over again.
5) Re-install the rom of your choice.
In my experience (at least on the HD2 with Android) crazy FC's and otherwise unexpected behavior from a freshly installed ROM means there are leftovers that were not removed from the previously installed rom.
IMHO the device should be completely empty of every bit of software before reinstalling.
Edit: On a side note, I have NOT been able to get an external SD card from recovery which is why I do everything through USB-Mount with the computer.
If you can mount via usb, you could put the ClockWorkMod (CWM) update.zip and recovery file and then reboot with Pwr/Vol+. That should install CWM.
Then you will be able to boot into CWM and repartition or whatever you need to do. Personally I would repatition, clean out the caches, wipe data, etc. and then start with a clean slate.
Hope I have not misunderstood what you need. Hope this helps.

Factory Re-set
Don't know if this will help or not, somtimes you need to clear out the cashe.
Have you tried going into settings and clicking factory reset?
You will lose your user data, but this might be enough to fix the problem. I think you have parts of two installs overlapping each other.
Also, reformatting the SD card sounds like the next step to try if factory reset does not fix the problem.
Third you could NVflash back to stock and then start over. Then do factory reset after each install.
If you have to wipe everything I would suggest formatting your internal sdcard in clockwork to 2048 and 0

If you did a factory reset and nothing happened then the reset didn't work. I would install clockwork recovery from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851657
Then boot into clockwork recovery and clear data/cache. You will have to redo the market fix and install your apps. If this doesn't stop the force closes then boot into clockwork recovery and repartition your sdcard to 2048 and 0
I'm having the same problem. I did nvflash and started fresh. Installed CWM making sure to wipe data/cache. I partioned the SD to 2048/0. I installed vegan 5.1 and its update. I think I did everything by the book, yet it still says Unmount in progress. This did not occur when I was running stock.
I tried the sd card from mt Evo as well. It does the same thing. It also does not recorgnize any USB flash installed as well.
I've run out of ideas. Can anyone help?
Thanks very much.

My VEGAn 5.1.1 says same thing but I never have a problem accessing files on it (/mnt/sdcard2). Are you sure you are not confused by the fact that the internal memory is divided into 2 GB "system" and 14 GB SD1?

Be patient, it took forever to mount a thumb drive for the first time and I too had thought something was wrong. Try again after a reboot and a couple of minutes.
Hope this helps
Thanks for trying to help. I pretty much gave up and installed TNT 5.0. I've had the thumb drive in there for 5 minutes but I'll keep it in to see if it shows up. In TNT, the SD card seems to be working/appearing fine.
I really liked Vegan, but I'll keep TNT for at least a few days to see how it does.
Thanks again!
I tried to do a search on this but found nothing, and I'm also apologizing ahead of time if I'm posting in the wrong section.
I am trying to get my LG G2x to a stock ROM using this guide: (can't post link since it's my first post, but it's "how to unroot the tmobile g2x" at the unlocker.
I was able to follow the steps and installed clockworkmod on the phone (v4.0.1.5). I am however having problem on step 6. When I do the the backup on clockworkmod (CWM), it automatically is doing the backup on the phone's internal memory, and not the sd card.
I tried to mount the phone with the PC and cut and paste the folder to the SD card, thinking CWM would pick it up after a reboot of the phone. However, this is not the case. I tried to find the SD card by trying to do "install zip from SDcard" in CWM, but there is only a DCIM folder in the _ExternalSD folder, and nothing else. No matter what I do, the backup is always saving to the internal memory, and not the SD card. If I leave the backup on the phone's memory, it is showing up under recovery in CWM, but I'm guessing it's not possible to flash the phone while it's running from the internal memory.
I formatted the card at least 3 times, and even tried another card just to be sure, but no luck still.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to do something to mount the card or unmount the phone memory? If anyone could please help. I have to send in my phone for warranty in a few days, and I desperately need to get it back to stock. Thanks.

Worked like a charm. I guess I had flashed the internal and SD option for nvflash, and that's what was messing up. 5.0.2.7 allows you to save only to SD card, so it worked perfectly. Thank you so much!

Latest also allows you to flash from internal/external.
Okay, So I normally never post in these forums. I am always reading and learning new ways to improve my Cell Phone.
Anyways, Today, I experienced a freaky Force Close. It was for my TWLauncher and no matter how many times I clicked FC, it still kept FCing not allowing me to enter into Debug mode to allow me to get to Recovery or even Odin.
Finally after clicking the Search button quick enough I was able to type in settings and then change to debug mode. I rebooted into Recovery mode and flashed to Default, no root, nothing. I then downloaded [ROM][ODIN] Stock DEODEXED KC1 [Root][Einherjar Dev Team][4.21.2011]-Whitehawkx booted that up and now Im trying to install CWM and {rom}Cwm-GB-2.3.5-Octane-V2.x.
Well first off I noticed something strange when I couldnt push from my adb so I manually went in and moved the file myself with a root file manager and placed the update.zip file and the zip file for the rom i wanted into my root.
I recovered mode, booted into CWM, and now when I try and Back up or update from zip file on sd card and I can't. Its telling me that...
"Unable to Mount Sd card"
or
E:/Can't Mount SD Card
I've tried formating SD Card from Phone and Computer. I've removed everything from SD Card, and still not working! Im soo confused. @[email protected]
I hope someone here can help me with this problem!
Thanks!

Could have something to do witb voodoo being ENABLED before flashing. Not sure though, never happened to me before.

I have the same problem here!
Any suggestions? I even tried SD Formatter 3.1 to format my sd card but no luck...
TheKucho might be onto the issue. Did either of you have the sdcard formatted with the ext4 filesystem? If so, Windows won't be able to format it because it can't read ext4. I don't know about any of the apps in the market but I would think most of them are written for whatever filesystem is native to the platform (which ext4 is not, usually).
If you guys were on ext4, either mount the card via a Linux box & reformat it to FAT or you'll have to load a voodoo enabled kernel on your phone & reformat it that way.
Thanks for Reply Guys
The SD Card wasn't reformatted from the phone ever til last night.
I reformated to FAT32 on my laptop, readded my pictures to the sd card, and then moved it back to my phone...
I've tried multple sd cards, nothing seems to work. Almost as if the cell phone is finding the sd cards when in recovery mode or from the adb... I can take pictures and save them to sd, and I can mount sd to pc from usb coord, but thats it.
Yay
For anyone experiencing this problem, I have solved it thanks to the help of everyone here...
I followed the GB EXT4 Starter and installed octane 2.x-Updated
The steps worked completely, at one point it was bit fuzzy, right after finalizing EXT4 process, my phone began to boot up, load, auto reboot, but not completely, only went to splash screen, made noise, and then opned up again. OVER AND OVER.
I fixed this by battery drop, recovery mode, loading zip from sd, first the Octane, and then Busy Box.
I HAVE MY BABY BACK!
Ever since I first got this phone, I have been unable to detect/mount the SD card in CWM, and under "Storage" in "Settings."
Oddly, I have no issues accessing "sdcard" in the My Files folder, or in Root Explorer.
Whenever I flash a ROM, I have to select "choose zip from internal" instead of "choose zip from sd card."
I have no issues with doing this, however the reason I think that I should fix this is because I keep having problems with Market FC's and "phone is not compatible" error messages when trying to get apps from the market. Also, I am unable to use Nandroid in CWM because of this.
I have followed the instructions here except I obviously was unable to format the SD card.
Thanks for any help!
I got help in another thread and fixed my Market compatibility problems.

Thanks to Schwaxdoc for that.
So no more issues with the market anymore. I'm still interested seeing if there's anything I can do about my sd card not mounting.
I've had the same issue, ROM Manager tells me that the SD card needs to be mounted when it already shows as mounted in settings OR it says "unavailable" in the space for both internal and external.
I can fix it by removing the SD card, turning off the phone, inserting the SD card, and turning the phone back on.
It almost always reoccurs every time I flash a new ROM.
I'm having the same problem, and I've tried to use seanscreamz fix in the link you posted but that didn't work (but, like you said, since I can't mount the sd card I can't format it ).
Does anyone have another solution? Even after going back to stock, wiping data, cache, system etc. nothing seems to work. I can't use ROM Manager, can't restore nandroid backups, can't mount the damn sd card!
I've attached a picture of the Storage display if it helps (USB Storage appears to be my sd card and the sd card is 0 out of 0).
Woo hooo!!! Fixed it. I can now run Nandroid backups and presumably restore them.
I'm not sure what worked, but I think it was flashing the latest CWM from ROM Manager. The Odin-flashable cwm I had didn't have the options for "Backup to Internal SD Card", "Advanced Restore", etc.
Other things that may have helped:
--Tried seanzscreams repair here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21424179&postcount=1 (but obviously couldn't format the SD Card that I couldn't mount).
--Flashed back to stock, wiped data/cache in 3e recovery.
--Rooted, then clean install of Alien 5.5 rom using DARKSIDE SUPER WIPE first (new! found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487706)
But I'm pretty sure that flashing the latest CWM from ROM Manager was what fixed it.
I had issues with the last CWM release so I decided to try TWRP. I use Rom toolbox Pro to get into recovery and wiped all to flash a new rom. Problem arose when I went into" Install" program of TWRP, I could not find my SD files. I change from root to SD card and only saw twrp, cwm and upper level. I tried many ways , but could not get to the files in my SD card. Any help would be appreciated...
Check in /data/media
If your stuff isn't there its gone. If you don't have any ROM zips and you have already wiped system you will need to setup and use ADB to push one.

I tried an earlier version of TWRP and my SD card popped up fine in the Install section. Maybe it's me.... but I dunno the latest versions of recoveries CWM and Twrp have had bad sections....
