When setting up to nvflash my G-Tablet to recover from an install problem, I couldn't flash because my computer couldn't find the driver to install that would let my Windows 7 64-bit PC talk to my G-Tablet. Turns out that the file set I was using for nvflash did not have the drivers in it.
Per Roebeet's sticky thread I went to:
http://db.tt/Wm25t7U
and downloaded the Windows files:
nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip
nvflash_windows_20100500.zip
The second file with "windows" in the middle has the nvflash program in it and also has an Android USB .inf file listed in it. After working with it, however, I found that it does not have the drivers to go with the .inf file. So I searched all over Nvidia's site and everywhere else looking for USB drivers.
Then I remembered that I had downloaded a copy of Advent Vega's USB files while researching one day. I extracted it and put it in my NVFlash folder and tried flashing again.
When I connected my tablet to the PC, the PC immediately tried to load a driver -- but since it didn't know where my files were it failed. I then went to Start/Control Panel/Device Manager and found APX listed in the devices with a yellow "!" (exclamation point) on the icon. I then selected the APX item and found the "Update Driver" button and clicked it. When it ask where to search, I took the local computer manual selection choice and told it to Browse.
I then pointed Browse (and the USB install) at the "USB" directory under "SystemUSB" in my NVFLash folder. (The SystemUSB folder actually has a "Flash USB driver" folder under it with the "USB" folder under it.) I suppose when you extract from the original you could just put the "USB" folder in the NVFlash directory.
When pointed at the "USB" directory, the driver installed and I was ready to nvflash.
I did this myself successfully. I have read posts from two other folks who also have used this successfully. So I believe it works fine.
But, of course, I urge you use caution and can't promise something could go wrong. (Disclaimer complete.)
The USB driver download is at:
http://www.myadventvega.co.uk/
Find the "Downloads" tab in the middle of the page and click on "USB System Driver" to get the files.
I hope this helps.

I also posted the files in one of the nvflash related threads here.. if you have the msi you can do this:
msiexec /a %1 /qb TARGETDIR=%~d1NVtemp
move "%~d1\NVtemp\PFiles\NVIDIA Corporation\%~n1\usbpcdriver" %~d1usbpcdriver
thats a batch file.. and it extracts the msi without installing.. into <drive>\NVtemp\
%1 = file name
%~n1 = file name without extension
%~d1 = drive of file name
windows will fill in the blanks if you drag and drop the msi file onto the batch file you create.
fyi latest is tegra_ventana_froyo_20110207.msi .. well technically it is tegra_ventana_gb_20110222.msi - but they both have 01/31/2011 driver inf and 06/24/2010 dll files - so... not that new
this is the apx drivers rar'd up. from tegra_ventana_froyo_20110207.msi

Listed below is a link from Blades which provides the USB drivers we need without
having to load the whole SDK to get to them:

I hope he doesn't mind my moving the link over here since I have been trying to get
this info together where people having trouble can find it. Thanks to him for the info.
rev
I posted it here first.. but no prob.. those drivers worked right away.. make sure to point to the inf file and not the subdirs AMD64/i386.. as they only contain dll files
Blades,
hmmm. I would have swore your edit was not there when I wrote my post. Certainly you can see that there would be no reason to re-post otherwise!!! Your edit was way before my post
unless there's something weird with the time stamp. Or maybe my tired old head is just working weirder than usual today.
Either way, your work is appreciated and you should get the credit for it. Thanks,
Main thing for me is that I am trying to solve the problem that people didn't have the needed USB drivers. Now we have multiple sources.
Rev
All,
Otreblada posted the following message in a thread over in General. Since it provides a download source for the NVFlash stuff we are talking about, I have copied it over here.
His work, not mine. It contains the nvflash file, image files and USB subdirectory needed to nvflash your tablet back to stock. I have not used it. He says it works fine.
"Get this zip from mediafire.Instructions inside zip file. It does work I created this zip after struggling for almost 1 hr trying to flash back stock rom."

EDIT: Since this post I have found a post by CyHawk which has a direct link to the nVidia Android SDK:
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/tegra/files/android_tegra_froyo_20101105.msi
If you download and install this it looks like it includes the nvflash stuff in the "windows" files listed above --
and more importantly it has a folder in it called "usbpcdriver" which contains the same files as the Advent
Vega download above. I have not used the nVidia SDK stuff, though, so I can't vouch for it.

When you unzip those 2 nvflash zip files do they containany zip files within them? When icicles I see abunch of files and a zip file.
isu205,
I don't remember any .zip files. The "nvflash" file does start off with an .inf file, but that is the USB .inf file that does not have the drivers with it (which is one of our problems.
If you:
1. Download the Advent Vega USB files
2. Down load and extract the two .zip files roebeet suggested.
Then put those files in a NVFlash subdirectory -- your are ready to nvflash.
That's all you will need to restore to the older bekit stock version.
(I think if you download the otreblada file it has the above already in it.)
Rev
P. S. -- You can find, download and install the nvidia SDK, and it will give you
the same files plus more -- but it also adds some complexity.
You pays your money and takes your choice!!!
EDIT: I double-checked and the answer is NO. No zip files I could find.
I'm a linux guy but do have a Win 7 Starter netbook. A while back I installed everything (sdk and USB driver)? necessary to grab screenshots using adb and ddms or QtADB and everything works well.
Anyway, does this mean all I need on the netbook is:
nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip
nvflash_windows_20100500.zip
to get nvflash up and running?
joe2262,
Yes, I think you should be good to go as you have described. Once you install the
USB drivers, or once ADB is installed in the SDK with its drivers -- the drivers stay in
the system and are activated when you connect the tab and PC.
And actually, I've never done it this way, but if you have the SDK you should have
the nvflash_windows-20100500 installed. All you would need is the .img files from
nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip (and the ngflash_gtablet.bat file which runs the flash
which is in the other .zip file).

I might have missed something.
I am trying to install the USB driver, but it looks like I am not having much luck.
I first tried to connect the Gtab while it was running the stock software. It showed that it connected with no problems. When I try to run it in APX mode, it does not show that the Gtab is connected.
Is there a way to go back and start over?
EDIT: I just tried it and it said that it installed the drivers - now it is showing something like NVIDIA USB Boot, but it is not showing APX as a drive.
I recover my gtab and it is working fine as long as I keep turned on... when I turned off and turned on again, goes straight to APX mode and I have to nvflash to get on.
Does anyboby knows how to disable the aPX mode?
I am using windows xp.
none of the drivers seem to work for windows xp x64... suggestions?
thanks for this!
Does anyone know where I can get the following files?
"nvflash_windows_20100500.zip" and ""nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip
Need to a restore on my veiwsonic gtablet and need these files to do so.
Thanks in advance,

Been trying all day to get ADB working with no chance, just my laptop is just too screwed up i guess. Wont go into details too much, but I did everything by the book from three different sources and everytime i tried to check it with cmd under the right tools directory, after hitting adb or adb kill-server or adb devices i always get the error that adb is that excutable in that directory so im at a lost.
But off of that matter, i found a great program called Sideload Wonder Machine, that automatally sideloads app with out the sdk or rooting (which ive already done anyways) and works find.
But my question is, why bother? Becuase i have download apk's to my computer, connect and monuted my g with debbuging on and just transfered the file to download and then opened it with any file opener and it easily installed no problem.
So my question is, does sideloading thru the computer which installs it on the device its self do a little trick or something that makes it better to do it that way, or is just moving the file myself to the download folder on my g tab and installing it through the g tab the same?
Thanks for your time.
P.S. sorry for being a windbag.
o and if your intersted in the sideloading program im talking about heres the link:
forum.androidcentral.com/android-sideload-wonder-machine/40770-ac-sideload-wonder-machine-windows.html
sorry about the old school copy n paste method, dont think i can post links yet.
Same idea i usually just use dropbox or bluetooth transfer ive only used adb a handful of times, if you get rootexplorer its even easier, no mounting /system the hard way

Hi. I don't see a download folder on my gtab. Is that a folder you created, or am I just missing something?

If you don't have it yet, the Download folder will create itself when you download something via the web browser.

Where do I download the APX Drivers? I can't seem to find them..
Also, after flashing CWM, I can just flash roms right? I don't need to install CWM everytime I flash a rom..
APX Drivers
When you download the NVFlasher.zip. set up a new folder and place the .zip file inside of it. Then unzip the file inside that folder. There will be two folders. One of them is the NV Flasher program folder. The other folder is titled APX. The particular driver .dll file you will be looking for is in the i386 folder inside of the APX folder. So after you unzip that file, continue to follow the instuctions in that particular thread. When the computer asks you to browse for that particular folder (search automatically, or manually choose it) navigate to the NVFlasher folder, double click the APX folder and then double click on the i386 folder and choose the particular .dll file it is asking for.
You will not need to flash every time after following this particular method. This creates a permanent recovery on your phone. You can simply enter recovery and flash a new rom. However, I strongly suggest you always create a backup of your current ROM before trying something new. Just in case...
Hope this helps.
Derp. I google'd half an hour trying to found APX Drivers. It was included in the download.
Btw, what if I have a AMD computer instead of an intel?
Do I use the amd64 folder instead?
Another question. Do I need adb tools and some LG drivers before I can install cwm and root?
As far as which folder to use, I am unsure. I think that the APX driver install box will list a very specific .dll file. I know that I found that particular file in the i386 folder. That's what i would recommend. If it doesn't work, you can always restart the process and click on the other folder.
I do not think you need to install sdk and adb tools. It appears that NV Flasher is a complete package, all in one type of program.
Good luck. Keep us posted on how it goes.
It doesn't matter where you extract the drivers to because when you need to load them tell the computer where to look rather than it searching automatically. Do it manually that way it will get the right driver from the file folder you downloaded. Like other poster said if one doesnt work try the other your computer is smart enough to know which is right for it atleast.
I don't think you need any other drivers because those other drivers are for when you sync it or use the phone as a mass storage device. I would just do a back of up and load a custom rooted rom and go from there.
If your G2X is still using froyo go for the ultimate rom as your first rom till you decide to go for GB or whenever we get ICS
I read "All the Internet" and there is no other place explaining in english except here for this particular phone so I think one more point of view is not hurting anyone.
You may want first to see the link of stefano2626 then go back. He assumes you have no trouble with the drivers. I posted 2 links with drivers below so you wont need to search it along with the original Firmware & uptate from Prestigio site in case you need it in future but all the files you need for now are in the stefano2626's link which posted below .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541009
I downloaded the first link and uncompressed it in "system_recovery" folder on Desktop like stefano2626 said on the link.
After installing all the drivers (because i wasnt sure if/which will work) i wrote 'adb devices' to see if it reads my phone and then typed "adb reboot bootloader" The phone restarted but instead in recovery it "stuck" on boot image - thats WHAT YOU WANT -then hit the "install-system-windows.bat' from the uncompressed folder from the link of stefano2626 (which posted below). The display will flash in white for 1-2 sec then go dark,dont worry wait and dont touch anything. The phone will start showing you what its doing and after its finished will start normally. Then update it from settings/about phone/system updates trough internet because it will be the older version (firmware). Thats it.
optional: To be easier type CMD in search go to directory and copy it ,not the shortcut but the file "cmd.exe", then paste it in the uncompressed folder from the link and start it from there. That way it will start from the folder & you wont type as much.
I applied these links I found in my "quest" - download them in a folder somewhere in your harddrive in case you need them in the future. Restart Windows if doesn't recognize the drivers. You can uninstall them, restart & install the drivers again. After restart & before install you may wanna clean your registry.
Im not sure if it is relevant or not thats why I should mention it. I pasted update.zip from the original prestigio Firmware v1.0.16 in the uncomressed "system_recovery" folder and then I hit "install-system-windows.bat'
p.s. I would like to see more content for this phone. Its not so popular but in Europe and Russia there is a significant part Prestigio owners.

If you've connected your device, while working, to that PC, than your Driver for the Fuel is most likely installed, but if not, than keep reading.
What this driver is good for is if you have soft bricked your device, Looping boot animation or your phone simply won't boot, your Fuel will probably not recognize on your computer, or at least only that some device is connected but won't determine what it is.
First, and foremost, extract the contents of the zip. file. To "install" or rather copy the files into your system, open up the folder you have downloaded labeled, lgl34c Driver, there may be 2 of the same folders, where you will find the file Windows. Copy that and paste on your local storage disk which may look like "Local Disk (C." This can be found by going to "This PC" or anything labeled in that nature.
If while copying it says that there are 5 files with the exact same name, then that means the driver is already installed onto your PC, in which case, this is an unnecessary process.
Right after copying, it may say that you must be an administrator to add files, just select "continue."
CONGRATULATIONS! You're Fuel's Driver has been installed!
Hello guys,
I was having driver problems on my i15-TFL for some time and I solved it. I wanted to share with everyone who's having the same problem.
Sometime ago, I ignorantly removed both Windows and Android from my tablet to install Windows from an ISO I trusted. This caused driver problems and my tablet was lying around uselessly. Yesterday I decided to deal with the problem and downloaded some firmwares, mostly from this thread in 4pda.ru. I tried installing using the instructions but no avail. I just wasn't able to boot into the recovery USB. I installed back a normal Windows 10 ISO and tried to extract the drivers.
This is the solution I came up with.
1. On another device, obtain a firmware for the device (eg. TFL is my devices serial id).
2. Extract compressed file.
3. Go to images folder.
4. Explore or extract install.wim file. It is the image backup file. I used 7zip but I believe there are other programs capable of handling wim files.
5. Navigate to Windows\System32\DriverStore and extract the FileRepository folder.
6. Install Windows 10 ISO of your choice to your tablet.
7. Open Device Manager.
8. Update driver of each device you want to install driver and target to FileRepository folder.
You can also take the FileRepository folder from your own tablet before removing the original Windows installation.
Hi, does anybody have driver for webcam? After reinstal of Windows 10, my tablet can´t find webcam (and one other device, which I have no idea what it is). Thank you
