I put the update and recovery in the internal sd card. I installed tnt and when I rebooted I went into a boot loop.
I then put update.zip and recovery ( changing to sdcard2 in command) and I see the box. It installs then it reboots into a boot loop.
What should I try next?

Per this very imformative guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
If your tablet bootloops…
Press and hold the power button to shut the device down. Boot back into Clockwork. Select the advanced option at the bottom, then go to “partition SD card”, for the first option select 4096, and for the second option select 64. Then, redo steps 7-10.

Follow same procedure with microsd 2, but this time install Clockwork .8. Same setup with placing Clockwork on the device.
Once installed you can access Clockwork at power-up by pressing power + volume up. Once there, clear the cache and data (two options on main screen and use volume to scroll and home to select). You should boot up now. If not, some of the XDA elders may need to chime in to help.
If still in bootloop, open Clockwork again, but this time go to bottom to activate USB storage. Connect USB and then activate- this should show you the internal space. Place the TnT 2.4 update in the root of it (no recovery directory).
1. Deactivate USB storage
2. Clean cache and data
3. Chose install update.zip
4. Pick the update.zip
Should be out of the loop once complete.
Try a reflash, clear cache, wipe the user data (in that order, try the next if the previous did not work). Worst case scenario is re-partitioning the SD card which seems to work most of the time.
I have mentioned this before, but I really think that our devices are either not imaged properly or our SD partitions become corrupt over time. I would also argue that clockworkmod is really a requirement for anyone using these mods. It's so critical when problems like this occur.
I tried this:
Instructions for those with clockworkmod .08:
- Extract the RAR and place the update.zip file anywhere in /sdcard (do NOT just copy the original RAR, that won't work! You have to open up the RAR and copy the update.zip inside. You don't need the /recovery folder for cwm). I would recommend putting the file on the root of /sdcard, since it will be easier to upgrade that way.
- Reboot into recovery. Do a backup first, as that's always a good idea.
- Then, choose "apply sdcard:update.zip", assuming you added the update.zip to the root of /sdcard, and run it.
- Reboot.
Note: I have heard reports that this might "Status 7" and I have no fix for that, yet. It seems to be intermittent.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Clockworkmod v.08 only update.zip (for technical users only!) :
I installed the sd card update and I still get the same reboot loop. What am I doing wrong?
The flash was probably successful, but a boot loop occurred afterwards. This does happen. Since you have clockworkmod, you have a lot of things you can do, as I mentioned.
I got it running.
I fixed the adoble flash, installed a pdf viewer, and titanium backup.
I cant't see the tabs in titanium backup for some reason.
My screen does not auto rotate even thought its set to auto rotate.
Install Adw.Launcher , if you want it to rotate.
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

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?
Hello all, I have been lurking for about 3 months. I have usee the information found here to not only keep my gtab (it was so horrid when I got it almost took it back tbe same day. But keep it from hitlting the wall whenI get so pissedat it. The information i get here is easy to understand and easy follow.
But I seem to be at an impass. I want to install TnT lite from my microsd card but I seem to be doing something wrong
My intent is to wipe ALL the data on the device. But I dont want to do that till I know I can install TnT lite 4.2 fromthe micro sdcard.
When I boot to clockwork the only option I see is "install from sdcard" meaning the internal sd.
I have put the recovery folder in the root of the microsd. I have made sure that the command file says "sdcard2". I have removed from update zip from the sdcard (internal) and made sure the update zip file in also in the root of the micosd. But clockwork mod dose not see it.
I have searched the forum looking for more comprehensive idea onhow to do it from microsd but I have not seen anything. If I missed a step or looked in the wrong place let me know.
I can not start a tbread in the dev area so I hope I can find some help here.
The wall is starting to look like good place to slam this thing
Hi,
I think that when you use the update.zip and /recovery/command file method, that's with the STOCK recovery. CWM *replaces* the stock recovery, i.e., you either have stock recovery OR CWM, on your Gtab. That's why both get initiated by pressing the same key sequence, power pls Vol+.
So, if you want to flash using an update.zip and recovery/command (modified to pt to /sdcard2), you'll need to get stock recovery in your Gtab.
You can get stock recovery by flashing one of the newer stock TNT versions, e.g., 3452. That replaces CWM in the recovery partition, as part of the flash. Then put your desired update.zip and modified recovery/command on /sdcard2, power off, the power plus Vol+.
Jim
Thank you! That helps.
Hi,
I'm not sure if this helps or not, but you can mount USB in clockwork. So you could wipe all the data, partition and everything, then mount the USB, copy the rom over from your PC to the internal storage and flash it.
If you decide to use clockwork, make sure it's the .8 version that you can get from the first page of the tNt Lite thread.

(Now, I know this is not in the right section or even in the device's page, but...)
Forewarning: I am NOT responsible for any damages caused by running this tool. (You ran it, not me.) Also, do NOT use on the Thrive 7 or ANY of the Excites! The Thrive 7 has an entirely different bootloader/partition layout than the 10.
Pio_masaki and I have been working hard for almost a year to get root on the ICS version of the Toshiba Thrive 10.
Last night, I was able to finally sneak past sealime.ko and have it work.
It uses the "root any ICS device" tool, with special modifications specifically for the Thrive 10.
(can't post any links, so it's on the "thrive-hackers" github page.)
Special note: While it is set up for OSX ADB, I have not been able to find any binaries.
Are you saying that we are close to a root method for Thrives running Toshiba ICS?

Saying there is a method to root it now, yes, we got around sealime.ko. This means we can flash the HC bootloader which is unlocked, which allows custom recovery and kernels/ramdisks (boot.img) to be used.
BTW the link is https://github.com/Thrive-Hackers
congrats guys ! very awesome work !
jdsingles deodexed ROM w/ agat63's 1.3 kernel Suped up w/ CB 6.26.13
More specifically, it bypasses sealime to flash the unlocked bootloader. What we did was we MVd /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 to 0p9. It's a pure fluke Pio and I found out that it works. We found out that sealime was explicitly blocking write to 0p6, so he semi-sarcastically said to move it. I ran the mv command, whadda ya know? It worked!
'Course, getting the tool completed wasn't as simple as that...
PS: Could we get this moved to the Toshiba Thrive Development section?
Have instructions been written for the process?
worked for me
I used this tool on Jul 8 and it worked very well. I got it from thriveforums dot org. Thank you pio_masaki and AmEv.
I tried changing the recovery to the latest TWRP using "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.4.1.0.img" while in bootloader. I was not able to, though as it kept giving me errors.
Does this bootloader not allow flashing a recovery? I noticed the rootme script uses adb commands to push the CWM recovery.
I am now running Dale's latest deodexed rooted ICS rom with the CWM recovery he included.
Other unrelated lessons learned:
If you can't mount your SD card in recovery, try a different card!
And, Dale packages his update.zip inside the downloaded zip file!

I installed the drivers, used the root tool, the restore was successful, but now the tablet is stuck in a boot-loop mode.
The root tool was running, there was a line that said the screen would go blank, which it did, and it stayed there for several hours. When I came back to check on it, the tablet was off, so I turned it on. That's when I found the boot loop. It'll get to the home page, tell me that nova launcher has stopped, then loop back to the moving stars section of the boot screen.
Any ideas on what to do now?
DLeach4512,
if CWM is still alive, so just flash any ROM via CWM (flashing wipes all your data that exist in internal memory, so you need to make backup via CWM if you wish to save your data; and after flashing ROM you can import all data via Titanium Backup)

You know, I feel kinda dumb because I didn't even try that!
Now i've tried it, and I see I can get into CWM.
I put a ROM on an SD card on my PC, then put that SD card into the Thrive and used CWM to install the .zip of the ROM I selected, and it won't install. It starts, then it says Installation aborted, but won't tell me why.
Any ideas where I should start unraveling this mystery?
1. check that your recovery is CWM and not stock recovery
2. check that you put on SD archive that contain folders named system and META-INF, file like boot.img, something other maybe (many ROMs archive contain "archive in archive", so you need to unpack archive from main archive and than put that internal archive on SD); after checking that all right try to flash that archive again
3. try another sdcard (full sized SDHC + formated in FAT32)

Excellent!
1) I had to extract "update.zip" from the ROM I had downloaded.
2) I re-formatted the card I was using to FAT32 instead of FAT.
3) I was able to get the install started with no trouble after following your directions.
BIG THANK YOU FOR THAT!
I got a successful install message, and then it booted!
Thanks a million!
Problems after Mount Changes
I changed the mount as described on thriveforums.org to allow apks and data to go to the external sd rather than "shared" internal memory.
I now have the situation with less free memory available on the sd card than on internal. The CWM backups went on the physical card- a 32 G one almost full. Will look for a major mfr 64 Gig.
One or so issues with the revised mounts where the external sd card is now internal. They relate to making backups with dalepl's latest CWM 6.0.1: where to put CWM backups for now and are they being made correctly with the revised mounts?
The backup made prior to the mount change looks normal: a single, dated/numbered folder about 2.6 Gb, 6 files: boot.img, cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar, nandroid.md5, recovery.img and system.ext4.tar. However, the one made after the mount change also has a dated, numbered folder of only 15.8 Mb and 7 files: .android_secure.vfat.dup, boot.img, cache.ext4.dup, data.ext4.dup, nandroid.md5, recovery.img and system.ext4.dup. There is a second folder associated with the later bu called "blobs", which is huge --2.76 Gb, 3292 folders and 6581 files. Is this an expected result and any one think it might be a valid bu?
Also, it went on to the external SD (now "internal") and total storage use is now almost 28 Gb out of 30.2. I now have the situation with less free memory available on the sd card than on internal. The stuff there looks ok, pix movies and music plus CWM bups of 5.5 G and App_Backup_Restore archived apks at 2.8 Gb. So, I copied the cwm backups folder to the real internal memory, now sdcard2. I assume this true internal memory might get wiped during a restore so, this is not a valid storage site for this? And, if I put copies on a spare card, will that really work if my downloaded apps are on the original card, eg does the CWM backup copy the external card apps?
As I note, for some reason this 'blobs' folder won't copy easily to a USB via the Thrive or Win 7 pc. It also won't copy to a Win 7 HD partition where I store my Thrive stuff. (Update: I was able to do a wireless transfer to my pc and then, from there, to a spare SD card.)
Any thoughts? Should I go back and change the mounts to default?
BTW, I find FolderMount has no real use with the changed mount on the Thrive unless someone tells me otherwise. With the Thrive mounting the external card as internal, files go to the physical card.
gberpa,
I don't understand your question - it is very long. But I know that custom recovery (CWM / TWRP) itself remounts sdcard and internal memory before wipe process so it will wipe correct memory (only internal memory). If you need to change the ROM you don't need to worry about mounting paths because after wipe mounting paths will be restored to original.
