Hello all,
Sorry for the silly question but I am trying to find out my stock build level in my G-tab. Have noticed all the warnings about the build level but don't know how to find the stock build.
In my Settings, About Tablet, Tap UI Version only reads my Rom version, TnT Lite v4.2.4.
I like the new look of the TNT Lite 5.0. but need to confirm that I have 3588 before I make any changes.
Thanks in advance.
bevbeng,
Honestly, if you have not reached the point in the learning curve where you can find and understand the "build level" yet, you may want to hold off a while. Somehow you
have gotten to TNT Lite, but.....
I have 5.0.0 on one of my tablets and it is nice, but it was a challenge to install. I wouldn't recommend trying it until you thoroughly understand all aspects of flashing and nvflashing so as to not wind up with a problem you can't solve.
BTW, you are running TNT Lite. That is not stock -- it is a custom ROM. To get back to 3588 you are going to have to find the 3588 stock rom, download and install it. Once you have done that, then you can look at 5.0.0 when you are ready.
Rev
Thanks. However, it still doesn't help me to find the factory build level in my tablet.
Maybe I don't understand, but I thought you were looking for "Build Level" in the context of whether your tablet is ready to flash 5.0.0.
If that's what you mean, you need to have the 3588 update loaded as you noted.
Your tablet is not now compatible because TNT Lite is not "stock" software. It is a custom ROM.
To get to a "stock" machine that meets the prerequisites for 5.0.0 -- you will have to download a copy of the 3588 upgrade. It can be found in these forums with a quick search. Then you will have to do a standard install/flash.
Once the 3588 is installed, it will have removed the TNT Lite you now have -- and the correct rom and recovery files should be there.
Again, I hope this helps.
Rev
P. S. -- I have never heard of "Build Level" as being something you can find in the various screens in the tablet. There is a "Build number" on the "Settings" screen for "About tablet" but I've never seen it say anything except "FRF91" and I'm not even sure what that means!

TnT Lite 4.2.4 is a custom rom modified from a ViewSonic Tap-n-Tap stock rom. You will not find the ViewSonic stock information directly by going to the About Tablet section in Settings. You need to follow the thread to know what has been done. Even though TnT Lite 4.2.4 was modified from the 3588/3589 stock rom from ViewSonic, you need to reflash your Gtab to 3588 stock before you reflash it to TnT Lite 5.0.0. ViewSonic made major changes to the boot.img. If you follow these steps to the letter (refer to the link below), TnT Lite 5.0.0 will install successfully. As a caution, many folks had to nvflash do to issues during the install. Be prepared for that situation.

Hey guys,
I got my g tablet yesterday at sears.
I really interested to get the vegan mod it looks very cool. I'm new on these stuffs.
as you know VS just released a new update and I did update my device.
my questions are:
1-if I flash my g tablet with vegan or TnT 2.2 mods am I able to re flash my g tablet to the stock UI again? for example if VC release new update am I able to go back to the stock mod and update my device with this update?
2- after flashing g tablet with vegan or TnT 2.2 do I need to root the device to be able to access to full system file of it will be already rooted after flash it with any of vegan or TnT 2.2?
Thank you
if you install a new rom:
1. you will not want to go back to stock TapNTap provided by ViewSonic
2. You will not need to root your device, as the custom roms are already rooted
Actually, you can go back to stock Tap N Tap, using nvflash. See this post from Roebeet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950
However, the updates from Viewsonic will always get torn down by Roebeet, Rothnic and other developers here and will be repackaged as a TNT Lite build within 24 hours of Viewsonic's release, so there's not much of a reason to go back to stock, especially when TNT Lite is basically superior in every way (at least, most of us find it so).

No you will not be able to get the VS updates as that is some of the removed sections in the Lite version. The reason was posted. The update manager sends your MAC address to the update servers very frequently in the clear.
However if you do keep the stock ROM you can always re-flash the device if you find the OEM ROM better. I will be shocked if you were to find that as the TNT Lite, and the Vegan are superior in every way to the the STOCK ROM.

It's fairly easy to go back, if needed. We also post all the latest firmware updates from TnT (even if they don't - still don't know why they don't offer them). See the FAQ in my sig for the vanilla ROM locations, and instructions on how to use them.
I made the decision to pull the over-the-air updater from TnT Lite, with the first release. From a security standpoint, phoning home in the clear with my mac address is a terrible idea. If Apple or MS did this, for example, the tech blogs would eat them alive. We usually grab the firmware updates pretty fast and post them. ie. the latest one is already posted.
Sorry for the newb question, but a search came up empty. Should I choose Vegan over TNT lite, is the install procedure the same? I see the step-by-step install guide for TNT lite, but wonder if Vegan requires different steps.
Thanks in advance!!!

If you install clockwork recovery you can easily try all the roms I have been using the vegan b3 release I like it but I use dolphin HD and skyfire browsers I don't like the native browser. Also I have used the tnt roms they are good too but as of lately really like vegan rom also if you back up your rom after you install you can compare stock vs custom. vegan roms download to PC drag to SD card rename update (at least on my vista PC) boot into recovery select apply update.zip and your good to go
What size SD card is required to fash with. I just picked up a GTablet for my wife for Christmas and want it running as flawless as possible before giving it to her.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Any as long as it can fit the 100MB+ Rom. The micro SD is used incase you screw up an need to reflash to stock. This happened to me, the external memory helped me fix it.
Oh and thank you Roebeet for your hardworking on the roms you and everyone/anyone that helped you make this device incredible!
So the TnT lite rom is 100mb?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I am a G2 Newbie
I flashed TNTLiite 2.0.0
The update zip file was dated 11/22/10
My settings now show the following:
Tap UI Version 1.01-2967
Kernel 2.6.32.9-00000-10.8.2- dirty
Build Number FRF91
Is all this correct?
I already got the market working and gmail.
Why didn't u load up tnt 3.x.x?
This is all new to me, but you did not answer my question. I did load 2.0 I believe but settings don't say that
I don't know exactly when Roebeet added the TnT Lite version to the build, but I thought it was prior to TnT Lite 2.0. Looks to me like you have the stock rom from the 11/22 OTA update that ViewSonic provided.
But I no longer have the original Interface with the weather that came up when I first turned it on. How do I move up to the newer version of the TNT?
Go to the Development topic in this forum. There is a helpful guide (posting) on how to install ClockworkMod, TnT Lite 2.2, Flash, and Market Fix. Although, I suggest you start with TnT Lite 3.1 (as a base), then install the 3.1.3 supplement (service pack) release.
I was in the process of flashing TnT Lite v5.0.0 on my Viewsonic Gtab and all was going well. Got the Viewsonic screen, then the message that a recovery key was pressed and then booting recovery kernel image. Then the screen changed to a graphic of a package being updated with a progress bar.
Unfortunately, I let go of the Power and volume + key before the progress bar finished. When I realized I had to hold the key sequence longer, I quickly tried pressing both the Power and volume + key sequence again. This led to the screen turning black and then I got the familiar messages, "Booting recovery kernel image."
From that point it hangs indefinitely.
I did ensure I was using TnT build 3588 before I attempted flashing with TnT Lite 5.0.0.
Is there any way to recover from this state?
Any help is appreciated in advance.
Actually once the recovery starts you can release the buttons.
You're most likely going to have to use NVFlash to flash a stock ROM. Update that and then reflash 5.0.
sabre2002,
A number of folks have had problems with the 5.0.0 install. But the advice Cannibul gave you about holding the buttons only until the recovery starts is good.
You will need to use NVFlash to recover -- and that's not too bad except that you need to be prepared and understand the process.
First, go back to Roebeet's original 5.0.0 thread and read all the parts of the instructions about "what if problems happen" again.
Then go to the NVFlash Recovery thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950
and read it thoroughly. There are a couple of links in it to threads where several of us describe exactly how to get the stuff, set up and nvflash your
recovery.
Good luck to you. Know that a bunch of folks already have done the same thing,
so all is not lost.
Rev
P. S. -- There also is a thread I put near the top of the Developer Forum that provides additional info on the USB Drivers for the nvflashing if you need it.
Thanks, butchconner.
I found an earlier post of yours where you provide step by step instructions on using NVFlash to recover the G-Tablet to an old image.
It worked perfectly including getting the USB drivers for recognizing G-Tablet in APX mode (I was having difficulty with this last night).
Got the tablet up and running but had problems applying the TnT 3588 build update. However, I'll retry and re-read Roebeet's post as you suggested.
Thanks again for your help.
Update on progress
Ok ... I had a heck of a time getting the TnT build that was contained in the zip file from roebeet's post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950) to update to the necessary build 3588 in order to apply the TnT Lite v5.0.0.
I tried multiple times, but each time the 3588 build update would error and I would have to nvflash all over again.
After a couple of times with this error, I decided to try the TnT update.zip provided in another of roebeet's post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9362168&postcount=35
I copied all of the image files in the same directory where NVFlash was located on my Windows PC. It overwrote the bootloader.bin and the system.img and added 2 others (recovery.img and boot.img).
Ran the nvflash_gtablet.bat file again with the updated images and the gtab came back up as usual and it told me that it had been updated to build 3588.
However, don't believe it because when you check the Settings for the build number, it still shows an older build (2367 I think but don't quote me).
Clicked on the TnT Updates app and was prompted to download and install the build 3588 update again.
This time the update worked like a charm!
Not sure if this is really a useful workaround, but thought I would include it here just in case.
sabre2002,
When you do the nvflash as several of us have documented using Roebeet's files, your at the 2638 update.
Most of us have found that if you just activate the wifi on the 2638, VS Update almost immediately offers the OTA 3588 update from VS. Just let it download and install.
If not, the downloadable version of 3588 is in Roebeet's 5.0.0 thread I believe and you can put it and a new recovery/command file on your /sdcard and the power/volume- into recovery and install it.
Glad to hear you are on top of it all. Of course, I think all of us that "play" with these things really deep down inside know we are going to keep doing things and changing things around ------and some day something will happen again!

Loaded TnT Lite v5.0.0 successfully
I have TnT Lite v5.0.0 flashed on my Gtab now ... it's very nice. Much smoother than the stock TnT and access to the full Market is worth the price of admission.
Thanks for everyone's help ... it was fun flashing the new ROM and now I am familiar with nvflash in case I need it in the future.
I installed TnT 5.0.1 on my gTablet, and it's running like a charm. However, I would like to install Vegan-Tab 5.1.1 (or some other ones using ClockworkMod 0.8) and try a few things out. One of the caveats that Roebeet put in his TnT post is:
<quote>
- Also for 5.x.x users, flipping between mods will be more difficult, since 5.x.x changes the bootloader. To go to VEGAn, gADAM or any of the other mods will require an nvflash back to bekits 1105 image first, at least via the testing I've done.
</quote>
I have nvflashed the gTablet before when I accidentally semi-bricked it, so that's not the issue. (In fact, I found a rar somewhere with all required files in it---awesome!) My question is whether there is a way for me to make a full backup of my ROM (so TnT 5.0.1 with all apps and settings), so I can revert back to it should I choose to. Or is the only way for me to reinstall TnT 5.0.x fresh and then reinstall all apps (or restore them from Titanium backups)?
(I'm new to the Android world, so I apologize if there is an easy, obvious answer to this question.)
Thanks!
Ron
dutch_in_seattle,
As an early "nearly-bricker", I have been following 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 almost since the
beginning and have been trying to do all I can to help folks with problems. I also
have been trying to provide roebeet with material to help.
If I understand it well -- what roebeet has been saying is that the "3991"/5.0.0 stuff represents kind of a new generation and setup for the G-Tablet. It is the moving from the older generation to the newer that has caused all the problems.
The problems are that some of the underlying files have changed to newer versions and if you don't go to 3588 "completely stock" before going "up" -- you will have trouble jumping the gap!
I'm going to extrapolate from that -- that you should be careful going down too. If you are at 3991/5.0.x and want to go down, I would reload 3588 to make sure you
get a fully stock system with the older generation files -- and then I would install whatever old-generation rom you wish.
This is the best suggestion I can make based on several times up the system (with a couple of regressions nfflashing down for repairs!).
Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
Rev
EDIT: Thinking about it, I don't see anything wrong with my suggestion. But the quote with roebeet's comment to "nvflash back to bekits stock recovery version" probably
does add another layer of protection to the process. He certainly is more expert than me by far!
I've used nvflash before, so it's not so much that I'm worried I can't go back to Vegan-Tab or a different "older-generation" ROM. What I would like to do before going back is do a full system backup of TnT 5.0.1, with all my settings and apps, so I can easily revert to that Android environment if and when I want to, rather than having to reinstall TnT 5.x and then set up my environment again. I would normally restore using ClockworkMod, but you can't use this for TnT 5.x and I don't believe the new recovery mode has a restore option (but I could be wrong there).
Ron
I'm thinking you should be able to do a backup with the new clockwork recovery required for tnt, nvflash and start over with a new rom, then when you want to go back install tnt and the new clockwork from scratch and do a recovery from that point.
THIS MOD HAS BEEN RETIRED. This was a pre-release version based off of the vendor's UAT 3991 build. It was pulled shortly after it was released due to a large number of soft-bricks, and has never been reactivated. I am leaving this post up as a reference, only - and also leaving the supplement link up for current users who still need that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TwoTapsX is a an EXPERIMENTAL ROM for use with the GTablet. It is based off the vendor's "1.2" dev branch which replaces the bootloader on the device. What this means is that 1) you need standard recovery (not clockworkmod) to upgrade to the ROM and 2) you need standard recovery to backout to an older mod or old stock. Please read the instructions CAREFULLY and FULLY. Failure to do so can cause you to soft-brick you device. Viewsonic does not support this mod and will not help you!!!
---------------------------------------------------
REQUIRED Pre-requisites
If you are coming from a 1.0.1 or 1.1 stock ROM or mod, you need to be running the 3588 stock ROM, ESPECIALLY 3588 recovery. In other words, you need to be a complete stock device as that causes the lowest risk of soft-brickage.
Recommended Pre-requisites
1. Setup and learn how to use nvflash. This is your backout in case something bad happens, so I would highly recommend you understand how to use this, in advance. Link details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950. nvflash is specific to Tegra 2 devices only.
2. Setup and learn how to use adb. This is a standard Android tool that will give you a remote shell into the device. This is helpful to push and pull files, and do general troubleshooting. For example, you can do a data wipe within adb if your device boot loops by typing "adb remount" and then "Adb shell wipe data" and then reboot. A VERY helpful tool for anyone modding their device.
Information on adb and how to install it / use it can found in several areas in XDA, or on other Android sites. It's part of the Google Android SDK.
---------------------------------------------------
Installation:
The base mod has been PULLED, due to installation issues
---------------------------------------------------
Backout from TNT Lite 5 / TwoTapsX to TnT Lite 4.3.0 or 3588 stock:
Pre-requisite: You MUST have standard 3991 recovery. If you installed the 3991-friendly clockworkmod (see references below), then you need to remove it. The easiest way to do that, at the moment, is to reflash to 3991 standard recovery, using the reference update.zip (see the References area). If you did not install cwm, then you have 3991 recovery already.
Once standard 3991 recovery is confirmed installed, you can use any of the following ROM's to backout to a "legacy" 1.1-based firmware: 3588 stock, TNT Lite 4.3.0 or gADAM 1.3.0. You would just use the standard instructions for these (ie. add the update.zip and recovery folders to the root of your drive, and reboot into recovery).
I have tested all of these scenarios and the backout does work. However, as always, there is a risk here so I would HIGHLY recommend that you setup and master nvflash BEFORE you attempt backing out. That's just in case the backout fails and you need an emergency procedure to unbrick your device.
TO STRESS -- DO NOT, under any circumstances, backout directly to anything other than 3588 stock, TNT Lite 4.3.0 or gADAM 1.3.0, nor use clockworkmod as you WILL most likely semi-brick your device!!!
NOTE FOR TNT LITE 4.3.x -- recovery will be broken, after the downgrade. In this case, just run the Recovery Pack and you can fix it (see the TNT Lite first post, for details)

This is a replacement for standard recovery. It adds the ability to backup and restore system images, for example.

I assume the theme around the new name for the rom is the next generation, or the 2nd generation of the custom Viewsonic Tap-n-tap rom.
It's a sad day in mudville, but it's probably for the best. Let's get this party started....
Woo Hoo! I'm nvflashing back to stock just for the fun of loading it all over again!
Uh Oh, ready the F5
Tegra devices and their bootloader/kernel combination differences are such a pain. This means that without a newer patch, pershoot's kernels won't work, right?

The initial pre-release will be the exact same code as TNT Lite 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 - I'll even keep the supplement. All I'm going to do is change the name so as to pull it out of the main TNTL thread.
So if someone has TNT Lite 5.00 and loads up this supplement, it will work just fine. And the name gets changed, too.

A new supplement is already coming. Flash 10.2 just got released and it's actually a newer version that what got leaked.
Now I have a BIG problem, which is the problem I was trying to avoid with TNT Lite 5, which is supporting yet another build. I might have to freeze TNT Lite 4.25 until I know what Viewsonic is doing.
Again, keep in mind that if you have TNT Lite 5.0.0 or 5.0.1 you CAN update to TwoTapsX .9.02 supplement, when I build it. It will definitely work.
I realise that many people have had a very difficult, or impossible, time moving up to TNT Lite 5.0.0, and that it seems to be a frustrating, hit-or-miss situation, but I, for one, like 5.0.0, and i'm sticking with it, for now, at least. Everything is working-- ui is snappy, market is relatively complete, with full stars, camera works in both orientations, etc. In addition, it may be that VS sees this direction as its path to "Honeycreams", and if so, then we're perched on the right branch to take advantage of it. If they should abandon this path, though, I believe (hope) I have nvflash all ready to go in Win 7 just in case I need to jump back into the original roms. From what I've picked up in the 5.0 thread, VS MAY be preparing to release an update soon, and this will tell us (maybe) where they're headed.
Hopefully in a few weeks, we will know and either TNT Lite is going to phased out, or this pre-release will. They won't be supported for long - one of them is going to die.
Thanks Roebeet for all your efforts to keep the VS Gtablet alive. I have loaded up your TwoTapsx v.9.02 ROM on my Gtablet and it seems to be very stable. Looking forward to what VS has in store for us next. Knowing you and the other developers will take whatever VS dishes out and make it better for our Gtablets.
Again, thank you for all that you do....

I agree. .. will stay with 5 until (if) it dies. Then will grieve!
Hi Roebeet...
This is your instructions to "backout" of TTx (which is the same as 5.0.1)
Backout (ie. to old stock, VEGAn, TNT Lite 4.x, etc):
I have successfully backed out of TTx in two ways:
1- Re-run a stock ROM. Specifically, I tested 3588. STOCK is important, as the bootloader will be downleveled to the necessary revision.
2- nvflash, using bekit's 1105 image.
In the case of stock, you might get stuck in a boot hang due to the possible need to wipe user data. So, I would recommend running the update.zip off a microSD so you can install clockworkmod .8 (old version) to give you the ability to wipe data.
Once you have old stock back, you'll be able to install older versions of TNT Lite, VEGAn, zPad, etc. as the bootloader is downleveled again.
using the new cwm thats on it now(blue writings) can we wipe data and cache, then put 3588 update zip and recovery folder on internal sd and things will resort back to stock with no snags?

That should work. It's VS stock recovery, not cwm (it just looks like cwm). I added 3588 stock as an update.zip, with the recovery folder and ran it and it worked for me. The only caveat is that you might need a data wipe, so try to do that before you reboot after the flash update. The reason why is because 3588 stock doesn't have a "user data wipe" option in its recovery, so better safe than sorry.
I'm actually going to update the first post with that, as I think it's pretty important. Data wipes between old mods and this new one are pretty critical.
I just upgraded my 5.0.1 to .9.02 and I still have flash 10.2.155.67, where's the upgrade?

TTX and TNTL
I know it was a lot of work, but splitting the two right now is probably a good decision for novice users. The TNTL allows users with CWM to continue to flash between roms and backups until they are ready for the plunge to TTX. Thanks for all your work.

Honestly, when one of the moderators brought it up it made a lot of sense. TNT Lite 5 was a tough one and I kept hoping things would die down, but they never did. It was getting tough to keep it going as a "released" mod. I also didn't release how many users were still on TNT Lite and the impact it would have - I underestimated the user problems it would create.

You need to wipe data to get it - that's because the shell script won't (or can't) run if Adobe is already installed.
Alternatively, you can sideload it - it's under /system/etc in the supplement zip. Or, remove the old version and reboot and the shell script might re-install it (I think).
