I got my Gtab all set up w/ CWM .8, and flashed bottle of smoke for some honeycomb goodness. I've tried flashing other ROMs, but keep getting the same error:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "harmony" ...etc etc
I even tried to reflash bottle of smoke, but get it again...what am I missing?
Thanks
You using the 1.2 bootloader?

OK, so BOS was working? and you were using CWM.8? You would have had to have been on 1.2 bootloader for BOS, and CWM .8 doesn't work on 1.2.

What DO you have working right now? Where do you want to go?
If you have CWM .8 working, then you could flash back to 3588 stock rom, with stock recovery and start from there...either then flashing to 4349 to get to 1.2 to go that direction, There is a CWM version that DOES work in 1.2.
OR, you could stay with 1.1 (3588) and install CWM .8 again, and flash a 1.1 rom.
If CWM .8 IS working right now, you should be able to wipe all data/caches and flash a 1.1 based rom.
How did you flash BOS? The only ways I can think of are NVFlash and stock 4349 recovery...

ooooookkkk....i'm learning the lingo now. I'm on BOS, and it is a little too buggy for me, so I wanted to switch to Vegan or CM and see which one I liked better. I went from stock 4349 straight to BOS so I have to downgrade back to the 3588, install CWM .8, then flash CM?
Thanks so much for your help, btw...learning a lot!

As far as I know, you cannot downgrade/upgrade bootloaders using cwm 0.8. Mainly because CWM does not modify the bootloader. BOS/4349 use 1.2 bootloader and 3588/Vegan/CM use 1.1 bootloader. 1.1 ROMS -> 1.1 ROMS are fine using CWM
and possibly 1.2 ROMS -> 1.2 ROMS (which is why you could use it to go from 4349 to BOS).
I think u will have to
BOS CWM -> BOS stock recovery -> Install 3588 using stock recovery -> 3588 + CWM 0.8 -> CM/Vegan/TNT Lite.
I have not used BOS (yet), but I would expect Roebeet has scripts to switch between stock recovery and CWM recovery for step 2.

OH man...i was hitting volume up this whole time, it works now after looking at the video! Thanks!
I'm assuming you meant Vegan ginger, right? If you just want Vegan 5.1.1, then you could stay on the 1.2 bootloader and flash Brilliant Corners. It's a 1.2 version of Vegan 5.1.1.
This is exactly why it would be nice for the 1.1 rom devs (there are only 2 that are used regularly) to update their Roms to 1.2...get rid of the confusion and people bricking their tablets becuase they feel the need to NVFlash.
The fact is, you were on 1.2 BOS and wanted to get ot a 1.1 rom...It's simple, Follow the instructions on the "foolproof flash to 4349" thread and stop once you've got 3588 installed...you'll be on a fresh install of 3588, with none of the remnents of BOS or 1.2 hanging around...start as clean as it is possible in order to avoid mistakes and problems.
If you ask me, NVFLash has been causing more and more people problems. From what I've read, it's a good tool to have IF you need to recover from a softbrick, but now EVERYONE is trying to NVFlash this, and NVFlash that...it's getting people into trouble, that they wouldn't have been in if they were sticking to CWM, or in some cases, STOCK RECOVERY.
I updated to 1.2 and flashed Brilliant corners over a week ago. I know that I can flash a version of CWM for 1.2, but I haven't yet, simply becuase I see no need to do it. I can always use stock recovery to flash a new rom, if I wanted to.
Yeah, now that I know what I did wrong, etc, it does seem pretty silly. They should all be 1.2

It's already happening. the BIG problem, is that people will have 1.1 bootloader, try to flash a 1.2 rom, and think it's bricked...OR, they'll be on 1.2, try a 1.1 rom, or worse, 1.1 CWM and think it's bricked. Then they come here and hte first bit of advice given to them is NVFLASH!!!! It's our SAVIOR...NVFLASH...
next thing you know, they really ARE softbricked. NVFLASH CAN cure all, but it can also screw up all, I'm finding. the Format all zip is great...in my opinion, if all else fails, don't go messing around on a root level, taking the chance that you can accidentally type an ' in the wrong place and not notice, only to find out that you're softbricking yourself. No matter what, with ANY computer system, formatting and starting over is always a safe bet, before messing with stuff that's picky.
I just answered a post from a new user that just got his g-tablet. He tried flashing CWM and it didn't work. He posted his system details. He's already on 1.2 boorloader (4349) and pershoots kernel is installed. This is going to happen a lot more pretty soon. Ebay specials will come with all this stuff on it. Imagine if he hadn't posted letting me know that he was on 1.2, and I hadn't caught it. Somebody that wasn't sure might have told him to start NVFlashing the crap out of it, basically making the situation worse.

thank you for your condescending advise. i hope one of the xda mods makes you xda police. and i hope the baby your wife is expecting is born healthy and energetic.
to reiterate i cannot flash anything thru nvflash(clockwork nor stock froyo) and i cannot root with superoneclick. i updated by using a KDZ_FW_UPD.exe app that was linked in these very forums. this app apparently is translated from korean. i was not able to flash the new .kdz version by normal means--i had to go into the submenu "read phone information" and click "upgrade start" there...that installed gingerbread and unrooted me.
rather than evoke more eager and stoic xda members' attempt to distinguish themselves as intelligent comprehending human beings i simply instead wish for my thread to by deleted lest this be another blight on our holy xda forums g2x section where from nothing but the best forums posts stems from. because we could probably use another "what do you think guys? should i trade back my sensation for the g2x i once owned already now that gingerbread::drooool:: is finally out because i didnt know there already were gingerbread roms out there and instead i just had to tell the whole world "goodbye lg, never again, cry river?""
i am still on my first g2x and have never called tmobile complaining about screen bleed or anything else that seems to be only perpetuated by retarded threads in this g2x general forum that i sift thru on a DAILY basis while trying to find useful information and possible help out someone with advise from my own experience in similar situations

uninstall all lg drivers. reboot. reinstall drivers http://www.lg.com/us/support/mc-support/drivers/LG_T-Mobile_Android_USB_Driver_v2.2.zip
@Daffydukc, I had the same issue. The good news is that since you already updated using the LG tool, you have the newer baseband. Right now, the "hard part" is getting CMW through NV flash back, which will let you flash whatever rom you want. I suggest the pre-rooted version of the same gingerbread update from xboarder56 over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
For now, try what crazythunder suggested and uninstall the LG drivers that the LG update tool might have deposited on your system and reinstall the drivers that worked prior to your update. Take out the battery, hold down vol up AND vol down, plug in the usb cable and see if your computer see's your phone. If it doesn't work, try again (it didn't work for me the 1st time either)
I'm now rooted with new baseband and liking it so far, goodluck.
THANK YOU!
great advise with the uninstall and then re install lg drivers i had not considered lg update tools overwriting the drivers that allow flashing CWM with drivers that arent really conducive to flashing CWM. i did that, and i read somewhere a suggestion to press the power button as well as the volume buttons.
i cant tell which of these two things was what did it for me but i'm so grateful for the help. i was sure to hit the thanks button for you guys!!
Hello guys, I've got a weird problem. I messed around with my Transformer a bit, rooted etc on 8.4.4.11. CWM isn't working, and I can't even boot into recovery. It just sits at the "Loading recovery kernel...". Anyway, its freezing at the eeePad screen on bootup and doesn't do anything (this has stopped me from reflashing a blob, or Asus OTA updating). I've tried reflashing stock and rooted images quite a few times, but it always does the same thing. Now, I can get around the freeze by going to the hard reset screen and declining, and it boots into Android.
Whats wrong? Bootloader? Has to be something in startup, but I cant figure it out.
Re-flash using NVFlash method, in dev section (and don't forget to put the NVFlash ROM version in the folder)

Nope, that actually made it worse. Anyway, each root that I tried to go through did the exact same thing. Now it doesnt show anything on boot.

Yes - flashing it has rooted your phone. I am somewhat surprised by this however. I would have thought rooting was done at a deeper level then anything in a ROM, but apparently that is not the case.
Good news is whatever the case, it works.
Recovery has nothing to do with the rooted status of your phone. Nvflash and cwm work no matter what.

Having an unlocked/unencrypted bootloader gives us G2X owners a LOT of flexibility with what can be done with our phones in terms of customization. Its one of the main reasons I couldn't wait for this phone to be released.

im sorry for the noob questions but could you elaborate on the steps you took to do this? Im having no luck figuring out so far.
Or if anyone else could explain the process.
I downloaded cwm but it says my phone needs to be rooted just to use it. So im stuck because im with 2.3.3 which isnt rooted. I just wanna go back to 2.2 so i can have root agian or so i can download custom 2.3.3 roms which are rooted already.
thanks
is flashing the rooted rom would root my phone perma or it would be unroot after flashing anything over that rooted rom?
you need one click reovery to flash the cwm with nvflash
So I might very well get crap for this since I know this has been brought up in numerous locations, however none of the answers seem to quite fit my direct problem and the information is so entirely scattered around the forums that it's a wee bit hard piecing it all together. I do apologize in advance if there is some post that details this already, it's rather late and I'm at my wits end.
So I decided to root the old Transformer today and toss on CWM to flash Revolver (yeah you guys see where this problem is headed). Upon loading up CWM and flashing the rom, I promptly rebooted, at which point it just hung on the title screen. After figiting with it a bit I got it to the point that it simply boot loops into CWM directly now (not sure if that would be what we call an improvement). Now, most solutions to this problem involve cold booting linux (this seems to work for most people) however for me it just hangs. NVflash (is that it?) doesn't seem to be an option since I'm one of the unlucky ones that it wont work for (b80 serial) and I'm not sure where to go from here.
Windows won't recognize it at any stage (CWM/hung at linux boot) however I can load it into APX mode and can successfully run Root Toolkit (though I'm not sure that will help me much).
Now I promise I have at least a wee bit of intelligence, I'm not asking for a complete walkthrough or anything but at the very least if there is an answer buried on the forums somewhere, could someone point me in the right direction?

What version of CWM are you using?
The rogue touch recovery that the PERI installs.
Are you completely wiping your TF before installing the ROM? You MUST wipe before installing anything in CWM generally.

Huh. Did you factory reset and wipe data/cache?
Without looking at the options, wiping data/factory reset option, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache.
Afterwards installing Revolver and next the update.
Tried the whole process again without doing the update, results the same.
Try installing a different ROM and see if you get the same result, if you do I'd reflash everything except the SOS partition stock.
Will do, downloading Revolution now to try and give it a shot.

So, different rom, same results. After flashing and rebooting, I simply get stuck at the Eee Pad screen. Is there any where you can point me to so I can read up on what I would need to do to reflash everything? I'd rather not turn the tablet into a nifty paperweight.
Search for
'wheelie NvFlash'
You can use that to reflash everything, or if you can Cold-Boot into Android (Hold volume-down then press power and wait 30 seconds, still holding volume-down)
You can use dd if=/sdcard/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 (Staging partition) to reflash a blob.
See blob tools for extracting partitions from stock blobs to reflash, it's probably EBT (bootloader) that is messed up.
Hello everyone,
It's my first time witnessing this issue, I do have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G. So I decided to upgraded Eclairs to Gingerbread. Which I did.
Somehow I downloaded the CM7 ROM in the SGS 4G section, I have flashed it and now everytime I click "reboot system now", it's just putting me back to CWM Recovery over and over again. Now I got tired of it, so I tried flashing the SlimBean in hopes of making my device work the way they should, but it's the same result. When I cleared data, flashed the ROM and Gapps and when I click "reboot system now", It shows the boot screen but then it transferred me back to recovery. I don't really know what to do.
Urgent help needed. Thank you all.
can you acess into download mode?

Yes I can, also tried it with CM9, same results it shows recovery everytime. I need some help. :crying:
You say you went from Eclair (Did this phone even come with that? I thought it started with Froyo. Huh. At least, mine did.) to Gingerbread. Is the Gingerbread you started with CM7, or did you start with one that actually has normal GB bootloaders first? Because if you haven't yet, as with any major bootlooping issue, you'll want to use a proper GB one-click. If you failed to double-flash one of those to get the GB bootloaders earlier, do that ASAP. And hope hard that they come.
You are missing the boot loader if you went straight to Gingerbread. Use Heimdall One Click to flash to Gingerbread. Also click on the bootloader option as well when you flash.

Can you give me the names of the GB one-click?
Search for lumin30. He has an awesome guide and links to what you are looking for. It's in his signature.
I'll add, back up your .efs folder. Put copy on your computer.

Can anyone tell me this guide works on starting from a CM7 Rom. I don't get it at all. Since it started from Stock Froyo.
