I ran nvflash to restore the gtablet to stock.
The flash completed successfully and Tapntap booted, however all my luanchers and old apps were still there. When I reboot the device goes directly into Apx. Powering with power button no volume, vol- or vol+ gives same result. If I repeat the flash It boots into tapntap bet debits into apx. Do I need to do a factory reset here or somthing else. I am going to try a data wipe and factory reset tonight at the first boot. I want to install TNTllite 5.00 a cordinto.the install post can't install clockworkmod but some post seem to indi ate install with clo kwor works Any Help appreciated.
Im having the exact issue any help would be greatly apreciated. I flashed to stock and all went well but when i power off it gets stuck in apx mode.. The only way I even know it's on is because when I plug the usb into the comp I get the connected notification. PLEASE HELP
Just a complete guess but did you check to see if the vol - was stuck?
Gentlemen:
When I nvflashed both of my tablets, it went through the process -- then it rebooted and started up the version being loaded right up to the main screen all by itself.
I never had to do a thing after starting the .bat file to flash except watch.
I don't know how this will help, but maybe it will stimulated and idea!!

Thanks to Roebeet I have a working gtablet again! The newer belkit img in his dropbox caused the APX bootloop, I dont know why. As instructed I used the older img and that worked. Did a factory reset and now have a clean install, ready for TNTlite 5.01!
got mine working last night had to use nvflash_gtablet_46 and nvflash_windows_20100500.zip instead of the nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip and it worked great for some reason that nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip would make my tab get stuck in a bootloop stuck in apx mode!!! Hope this helps it worked for me!
Can you guys please help me? i am in a similar issue. I tried using the 3588 stock .zip to get ready to install tnt 5/ ttx.9 and well it started to boot loop so to NVflash i went. I have tried
nvflash_gtablet_46 and nvflash_windows_20100500.zip and nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip and gtab.spx.stock.3588.zip and NONE of them work for me. I am able to sucessfully NVflash them but when the tablet restarts it goes to the tapntap screen the flashes back and forth between that screen and a black blank screen before it goes completely black... The tablet remains on though just with a blank screen and i must hold the power button for 10 seconds to power it off. i have tried every combination of flashing i can think of but no dice.. please help?

You might need a data wipe - if you can get past the birds but get stuck at some point after the "GTablet" screen, a data wipe would be my first suggestion.
The problem is that 1105 bekit nvflash (and mine) doesn't have clockworkmod embedded in it to fix that. But, as a workaround, you can replace "part9.img" in the bekit 1105 with clockworkmod's "recovery.img" (just rename part9.img to part9.img.org and then rename recovery.img to part9.img). Redo the nvflash, the reboot into recovery when you are stuck again and wipe data. Once "fixed", then you can undo the change and reflash one more time to get back to full stock, or OTA update to 3588 to get 3588 stock.
I know this is a bit of a PITN due to all the steps, but it does work.
robeet u are absolutely correct and i posted that as my solution in the other thread i started. It finally occured to me when i was reading and there was a line that said NVflash will keep ur /data untouched. I was like OH ****.. hah. I though NVFlash wiped EVERYTHING!!!. Anyway replacing the .img with CWM.img and then wiping and then redoing the 3588 apx update worked.
Please help, can't get win7 to detect the device. When u say usb, is it mini usb on your device or is it full size usb? I was be able to run TNTL 5.0, due to afew crashes, i decide to revert back to 4.2. Since then, my viewsonic g tablet never boot again.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your response,
Got mine to work, just want to clarify for those who use win7x64. download three files from thread... nvflash_win, nvflash_gtablet, and usb driver. Turn on device in APX mod, plug in ur tablet via mini usb. Go to windows device manager, making sure it sees APX has proper driver. Go back to nvflash folder and double click on nvflash_gtablet.bat, and relax. Once it's done flash, reboot and enjoy.
thank you all for your hard work.

Thanks a lot Roebeet. Saved my life too! I formatted the tablet with the format tool that is supposed to erase the BCT and then did an NVflash for the rest and was stuck in a bootloop. Tried both the 1105 and the other bekit, and ended up renaming part9.img, getting CWM to wipe data and working from there. It's TnTlite 4.4 from here on out. Thanks again.

so after you re-nvflash with cwm as partition 9, how do you get into cwm? after i flash to the stock ROM, i can't get to anything other than apx on shutdown/reboot.

You restart while holding down the Volume Up key. If it doesn't appear to be shutting down properly then hold down the power key for 30 - 45 seconds and try it again.

it's doesn't do anything but boot into APX mode... holding power and volume up doesn't do anything other than enter / exit that mode. that is, unless i'm missing something else...
The only thing I can recommend is to try the nvflash again. Make sure you're using bekit's 1105 image and you're following the instructions on this thread...

the first post doesn't talk about *how* to execute the CWM install, only the nvflash. other posts in the thread talk about the CWM piece, but there is no step by step to get out of APX and into clockwork... that's what i need because something in my config is definitely out of whack.
If your nvflash worked then there is no need for a step by step other than what has been said.
1) Make sure you are using befit's 1105 image
2) Make sure you are using ClockworkMod .8
3) Make sure you've modified the gtablet.cfg file properly.
4) Make sure you didn't get any errors reported from your nvflash.
5) When it is done it should reboot.
If it boots normally, then do a factory reset from within the system settings. Then reboot while holding the volume up key and you should get CWM.
If it doesn't then try to shut it down and restart while holding the volume up key and you should get CWM.
If you're still stuck in an APX loop then I would try nvflashing just the bekit 1105. If that will boot at all you can try to load CWM from an SD card.
If you'd like to post or PM your config file, the result from your nvflash and any other files you've changed I'll be happy to look at them.
Same situation here.... tried everything that was mention but still not working.
As soon I turned on, goes a black screen (apx mode) that's it!!! Power and vol + don't do anything. the only way to boot completely is nvflashing again.... tried to reset data factory but as soon the tablet turn off (restart turn on) black screen.
Can anybody help me.... it has been 12 days already.... I had posted for help before and I already did everything that was suggested..... I don't know what to do anymore.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
so ive tried some of the options others have put on the website for what i thought was a bootloop that i was stuck on, but i cant even get the thing into the right recovery that i had
i had clockworkmod recovery running CM7 and was in the process of changing it back to my old stock rom but my phone turned off
when i tried getting it back into the recovery mode it sends me to RECOVERY SYSTEM UTILITY 3e instead and the power button wont allow me to select anything
the only options are
Reboot system now
- Apply sdcard:update.zip
- wipe data/factory reset

Hey everyone im trying to unroot my transformer.I instaleed repacked-8.2.3.13_US+root-CWR-update.zip.Rebooted it and then i shut it back down.I then booted into clockword mod and installed this recovery 8239usrecovery zip.After that i wiped cache,data and system.I rebooted and now im stuck on the eeepad asus boot screen.When i try to go into recovery i get the triangle.Is there anything i can do?Or did i brick my transformer by formatting the system?Please some one help.
never delete system as it is what has all of the stock apps and framework and library. So it will not boot. The stock firmware will NOT install if you do not have everything in system perfectly. If possible try to use NVFlash to get back to a stable rom if not i don't know if there is anything you can do.

Don't do **** if you don't know what you're doing or you don't have the full instructions in front of you...
What you've done is the following equivalent in any PC or laptop:
Start PC/Laptop with LiveCD/RescueCD
Format C: (or /dev/sda)
Try to start PC/Laptop
Start to ROFL!
You were supposed to flash the stock rom from asus before flashing the recovery.
Try downloading the rom from asus, unizziping it and placing it on your microSd card and see if theres a prompt to update the rom when you attempt to go into recovery.
Als you could try wiping it again.
Boot while holding the volume down button, When the text shows up don't press anything, wait and you'll get two images show up. Press volume down highlight select wipe cache, the volume up to confirm.
See if that works.
Thanks i will try that now.

Get yourself the nvflash tool (You just have too look for it in Transformer Q&A Section) unzip it, install the drivers, if You haven't yet, get a nvflashable version of a rom (PRIME Rom has got an nvflash version) unzip the nvflash Rom to the nvflash tool, so recovery.img system.img and so on are in the same folder as download.bat and so on.
finally enter in APX mode on your transformer, and run download.bat.
when it's done, your tablet should restart.
Sent from my Asus tf101 running official Ice Cream Sandwich.
The android with yellow exclamation point is your stock recovery.
Try taking the "update" file out of the Asus folder and put it directly on the root of your sd card.
If that still don't work do the two file method.
well, I did the download.bat. But I turned it off when it just showed two lines.
Now it wont turn on at all..I am really screwing this up.
It just wont turn on at all..But it has a full charge. I knew I should have left it alone

You should not have turned it off. When the installation process was done, your tablet should start up by itself.
Try it again, but this time wait for the tablet to start up.
I redid it and followed it exactly as outlined.
It is now installing the stock update. I think I am ok now.
I appreciate all the help..
I will try to give a decent amount of detail.
My G-tablet apparently ran out of battery, without me knowing. I tried to boot it up and it booted mostly in to android (enough for me to see battery at 0%) and then died.
I let it charge but next time I booted, though android loaded, none of my apps worked. I was also unable to boot in to recovery by holding the volume down button. As a last desperate attempt I went to Privacy - Wipe Data, which prompted the device to shut down.
When it started back up, I receive the message "Booting recovery kernel image", note WITHOUT holding the button (and without the recovery button held text).
From recovery I do a wipe of data partition and try to boot again. Same message, straight to recovery.
I say ok, I will flash the ROM again (vegantab), so I flash the ROM and reboot. Boot straight to recovery again.
One last try, I go to restore and try to restore a image from a few months ago. Restores successfully BUT, straight to recovery again.
No matter how I try to reboot, on the screen with the birds I get "booting recovery kernel image". It's like it isn't even TRYING to boot off the boot partition, and instead decides to load the recovery kernel no matter what I do.
So basically, I am now stuck in recovery and no amount of flashing / formatting can convince the thing to attempt a normal boot. Ideas?
edit: Fed up and in frustration I decided to format all partitions from recovery, including system and boot. After formatting the boot partition I now get the "Magic Value Mismatch" error message. Googling for solutions has returned around 95 different guides to fixing a gtablet, all with various completely different directions and outdated dead links to files. So if anyone has links to a MODERN guide to recovering through nvflash with files that actually exist, let me know.
Hey go to the gtablet for dummies website and download the nvflash 1.2 branch with clockworkmod. You do know how to nvflash right? Just press down your gtablet power button with volume - at the same time. That will put your gtablet in nvflash mode that is a black screen.
The nvflash you downloaded will have a folder with several files, if you are a windows user just put your tablet in nvflash mode and then Run the batch file located in the nvflash folder. Then wait for the process to finish and if the gtab doesnt reboots after everything is finished just reboot it by yourself
Remember you have to install windows drivers if your gtab is not being recognized.
