first of thanks for all your help in advance and sorry for my bad grammar, spelling and stupid questions but i'm a noob and foreigner.
so i got my G-tab like 2 days ago and played with the stock TnT rom for awhile and it sucked.
so first did a nandroid backup.
installed CW Recovery v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 and
installed CM 6.1.0-Beta4-Harmony and all was good.
on a side note: i noticed that when i tried to Wipe Dalvik Cache that i get the error message:
E : Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(read somewhere that rePartitioning would fix that )
and so i RePartitiond my SD card. Big mistake because now my Nandroid Backup with the stock TnT rom is gone. oh sh.. i think to my self, but i still have a backup on my Mac so i tried to mound G-tab to Mac doesn't work anymore
so here i am now stuck on CM6.1.0-Beta4-
no g-apps no gmail no market no nothing and i can't find anything on how to install them without using a PC or mac.
i downloaded a TnT vanilla stock rom but i cant get it to work.
and i would really like to try the TnT light rom too.
my question is how can i mount my g-Tab to PC/Mac. or how can i install roms directly from my G-tab using CW Recovery? use too be able to just flash it but that doesn't work anymore
or can i just download a TnT rom nandroid backup zip file and then install it?
so thanks for all you help and sorry for my stupidity anything would help
I have a NS unlocked and rooted. I have ROM Manager, busybox etc. I followed all the instructions but I can't update ROMs or the 2.3.3 update or CM7 nothing. Each time it starts to unpack or whatever it gets about 1/3 the way and aborts. Something about verifying signatures or something.
Very frustrating.
Thanx in advance

try to download the ROM again
sounds like the zip file is corrupted
What version Clockwork Recovery are you using? Try reverting back to a older version or something.
Verify the ROM's MD5 Hash using HashTab (Google it)
I've tried several times with downloads and now the latest clockwork and the version prior.
Samething always aborts, can't verify signature. Tried manual and through rom manager.
When using rom manager is that suppose to do the whole install? Cuz that only gets me to the little droid and the triangle. I have to get myself into bootloader and continue manually from there.
Thanks

Hmm... It sounds like clockwork isn't properly installed. ROM Manager should take you directly to clockwork recovery without you having to do anything.
the problem you are facing is that you are still on stock rom. so even if you flash clockwork recovery and then reboot to recovery, you'll always end up going to the stock recovery. this is a new feature implemented by google.
what you should do is...
1) go to bootloader
2)flash the clockwork recovery using fastboot
3)DO NOT reboot the phone or quit bootloader. immediately after flashing the rec. using fastboot, just enter recovery (through bootloader)
4)flash you new rom
just for u to have an idea. the recovery should be orange in colour.
option 2.
you also have the option of using a file manager with moun/root functions such as root explorer and rename the recovery script in etc folder but i guess step 1 is much easier for now.
OK I played alot today and this is what happened.
After fixing permissions and flashing the new CWM and wiping data/cache it finally worked. Unfortunately titanium and my backup didnt bring everything over. So I went back and forth between stock and CM7 several times but I just couldnt get all my stuff back in CM7. So I thought Id try the 2.3.3 update but not wiping stuff. That didnt work. Then I tried one more time with CM7 but not wiping. I couldnt get pastthe little CM7 droid on the skateboard. So went back to stock for now. Ill have more time on Sat to give things another try.
At least I can get in it now.
Any ideas/thoughts/
Thanks and sorry for the long post.
Hi,
Phone Info:
Rooted G2x running 2.3.3/2.3.4(CM7)
Well, heres when my problems started:
1. I had CM7 running perfectly with a Faux123 Kernel(UV/OC) and then...bc of the random batter change problems i wanted to swicth to Trinity Kernel by Morfic. When i first flashed the Faux123 Kernel, it didnt wipe my entire phone but on the trinity one it seemed like a whole new ROM!!! It wiped my phone and was a new rom. Unfortuneatly i didnt do a Nandroid backup of my CM7 but i did do it for my Rooted Stock. BUT the problem is now that I go back to the Rooted Stock, Rom manager DOESNT flash CM7 again. I tried redownloading, downloading the freeversion, redownloading the ROM but no solution!!
Yes, i know that you can flash with ClockWorkRecovery Mod but the Google Apps dont come!! On another note i flashed CM7 like this and then Titanium BACKUP was force closing on me after few seconds of trying to restore data/apps!!
So i guess my real problem is that:
1. Rom Manager does not flashanything ever since my Trinity Mishap
2. Even if i do the flash through recovery manually(Install Zip from SD card) then no Google Apps show up....but if i get the Market from 4shared then it doesnt let me add an account !!!
3. this is a followup to Problem 3...if i download the Google Apps Zip from online do i just "flash" it with CWM just like i did the CM7
PLEASE ANSWER.. THANKS FOR READING!!
I'm getting frustrated yesterday I spend all day trying to reflash to stock rom or another,I flashed bones something with kernal matrix it was fine, then I wanted to put gapps and it wouldn't install so I installed gapps and full Android on crespo and I forgot to wipe and do all that before flashing ROM, now I tried everything! And it's still get stuck on the open Android figure with a exclamation point,I have my backup I just want to go back to my stock backup 4.0.4 please if any one can help me, this is my second day with a nexus and I already hate it I might just end up switching it for a iPhone if I cannot restore my backup
Have you tried using adb to boot into recovery?

thats the stock recovery. if you want a custom recovery, you will have to reflash it.
RESOLVED
This is 4th brick and i normally know how to fix it but this time i cant fix it
Ok so one day my phone was acting up it wouldn't turn on
I flashed repartioned and flashed csc/phone/froyo from hawk (ODIN) - everything was ok
Then i flashed gingerbread (odin)- phone turned on everything worked
Afterwards i rooted it (super one click)- it worked
got sgs kernel flasher
Flashed antonx kernel for gb
when i tried to install cm9 it didnt work i checked logs and got this (im using cmr 6.0.1.2)
I: Cant partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcb1k0p
I:Cant format unknown volume :/external_sd
I: cant format unknown volume: /emmc
Any ideas?
Also i was trying to do this
flash froyo + everything from hawk
Flash gingerbread
root
get sgs kernel flasher
flash kernel
install cm9
install cm10

That's a lot of steps that aren't needed.

2)Reboot to recovery, wipe and install CM9

What CM where you trying to install? Are phone doesn't use /emmc or /external_sd. That's why it failing. Wrong zip from the wrong phone. Look under your battery and tell us what the model number says before you go any further and end up with a true brick.
cmr
... after i installed antonx's kernel i tried to install cyanogen mod 9 and i was using the recovery included in that
And yes i know what phone i have.. sgs4g (sgh-t959v)
What Cm9? It's trying to write to partitions that this phone doesn't use. Link the ROM please.

That's really weird that your getting those errors. We don't use emmc or external_sd. Heimdall will get you set back up but I've never seen ANYONE in all the time I have had this phone report that error. That's why I was trying to make sure you had the right phone and ROM before you went any further.
now what?

how do i go from stock to mtd rom? (im on the "other one" i have a 32 gig sd card with EVERY single rom on that list, every kernel, every modem so basicly i dont have to download them)
before i just installed it through cmr but is that right?
I want to go from stock to cyanogen mod 9 MTD
Im creating a backup right now incase i mess up later
That's will work as long as the recovery is CWM 5.x or later. You used to have to flash CM7 first but I'm pretty sure Team Acid fixed it in the new CM9 build. Just check the MD5 of that zip you where trying to flash. Those errors are very strange and I'm thinking you might have accidentally gotten the wrong CM9.

Ok im installing..
Also if this works can i just restore my cm10 backup? or do i have to install cm 10 then the backup?
You can try to restore it. If it's the same version of CWM that you backed up from it should work. Just do all the wipes including system and data before you restore. If that doesn't work for some reason just flash CM10 than do an advanced restore of data only.
Works
ok it works... cid kinda scares me
I guess im going to restore my cm10 backup then...
And thanks for all the help
wow i have to wait five minutes between posts that sucks
restore
got an err when trying to restore E:/format_volume: format_rfs_decive failed on system
Guess im going to install cm10 then restore
What an exciting day... i went from froyo to gingerbread to ics and now to jb
Ahh
Ok so i found out that when i flashed kc1 to kc6 on odin i left the repartiton checked... so some files were missing and i guess that was the problem... what is phone efs clear on odin again? isnt it have to do with something with celluar communications
ok everything is back to normal (except a few apps) And thanks for helping out!
Some apps don't restore. Like xda for example. If I restore a backup it will say app not installed. When I reDL it from Play all my settings are still there though. So it's saving the cache and not the app. I've never really cared enough to look into it. lol
