nvflash getpartitiontable - 14 partitions vs. 12 - G Tablet General

Hi all -
I've had fairly consistent problems modding my gtab. The biggest one currently being that whenever it shuts down and I try to start back up, it doesn't boot but instead goes into APX mode. I have to run nvflash in order to "jump-start" it to actually boot.
So my friend and I bought gtabs at the same time from woot. I modded mine and ran into problems, so for hers, I wanted to be extra careful. I found a post on here about running a backup so I gave it a shot.
One of the commands is to run nvflash with --getpartitiontable, and dump it to partition.txt. This resulted in a list of 14 partitions (well, starting from 2):
2: BCT
3: PT
4: EBT
5: NVC
6: MBT
7: BLO
8: MSC
9: KLO
10: OGO
11: SOS
12: LNX
13: APP
14: CAC
Every nvflash "restore" method I've found has had 12 partitions:
2: BCT
3: PT
4: EBT
5: MBT
6: BLO
7: MSC
8: OGO
9: SOS
10: LNX
11: APP
12: CAC
Is there a reason for this discrepancy? Are our tablets different and/or newer? Would this cause the boot problem I'm having?
Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!

Bricked gtab?

I think its done for but I want to be sure. I've used nvflash many times to revert to stock but this time I tried the format rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974422) just before I tried to revert.
So far I've tried flashing with nvflash following the directions here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950) using the 1105 and the 1126 images. The format rom still completes but the stock rom gives the following output.
"nvflash.exe" --bct gtablet.bct --setbct --bl bootloader.bin --configfile gtablet.cfg --create --go

I've tried to use nvflash to get CM .8 back but nothing seems to work. I hope someone has an idea on how to recover from this.
Thanks in advance
ok, I fixed my issue and found a new one.
1. I re-downloaded the format
and the 1126 rom files.
2. I re-ran the format rom.
3. I copied the files from "nvflash_gtablet_46_2010112600.zip" into the same directory as the format rom files and ran the new nvflash_gtablet.bat file.
For some reason this time it worked. I tried this before but for some reason it worked this time.
Once I got in I updated to 3588 using the OTA updater and now it only boots in to APX. Seems others are having the same issue. I'll keep trying to get this resolved but if anyone has some insight into this problem I'd love to hear it.
Well, you probably already know, but for the sake of beginning a new, clean thread-
Using nvflash.exe, you can simply
nvflash.exe --bl bootloader.bin --format_partition 2 --go
And it will reboot your tablet without erasing anything important.
Holding down the volume key will get you into recovery mode as well, if you hold it before you press enter.
Hope we can fix this. Im tired of explaining how i fried something and it wont boot with a computer.
So after many hours of searching the forums and web for different possible solutions, and trying them all, I think I'm going to throw in the towel. Mine is still in the 30 days for a return so I think I'll just return it and get another.
All my issues started when I tried the format rom, so that's one I'll not do again.
Good luck to everyone still fighting to get their gtab to boot out of APX mode.
You might have better luck with the 1105 image. I would give that one more try before you give up. You might also need to reinstall ClockworkMod and repartition your internal sdcard.
When you say you can only get into APX mode, will the unit not power up at all or are you only getting bootloops of the Viewsonic and G-Tablet screens?

APX mode is like fastboot mode in other devices.
On the gtablet, it is a blank, unlit screen.
It waits for a command from a host device, and once it gets one, the screen lits up black with a single line of text.
Its as if the unit doesnt power up, but it really does. The only way to tell is to have it plugged up to a computer.
I mean, you can use nvflash to boot it.
And i will try the 1105 image in the next 24 hours and report if it got the device to boot independently.

Now the screen is black and keeps going into apx.
Before running it I had rooted 3.1 and had just updated to 3.2 which worked fine.
Any help please?
Thanks
I don't think you're supposed to update after you've rooted
I bricked one that way
Hmm, well things seemed to be fine after doing so. It was just the nvflash which finished me off. I'm new to all this.
Any suggestions on getting it back? I have the whole weekend to try now.
Try redownloading the nvflash files? Maybe the checksum failed.
It seems boot.img was not found, but your download.sh script tries to install it.
it is because you have run nvflash in create mode which partitions and installs the android system, but you don't have an android systems images in the same folder as nvflash and the batch file.
download prime 1.6 nvflash edition, put it in the same folder as these files, and run that script again

Thanks! This made a lot of sense after I read it. I downloaded the nvflash edition and ran the download.bat. It found the missing files and copied them to the transformer successfully. I then rebooted the device and was back in action with prime. Appreciate it!

Just be glad you didn't put your device in a permanent apx bootloop. You're just missing the android system image.
I've had to deal with a few devices that was somehow put in permanent apx bootloop by their owners. Before I actually got my hands on these devices, I honestly thought they didn't really exist and that it was just users' ignorance. But damn, these devices with permanent apx bootloop are hard to unbrick.

Definitely glad. The funny thing is I ran the nvflash because I wanted to see if it worked for getting a clean install, little did I know I would make it cleaner than I wanted :x. I had an idea that I needed to supply the files, but really had no idea where to get them. Luckily lilstevie pointed me in the right direction. I've since updated to Prime HC3.2 and loving it so far.
Glad it's back and working now though!

[HELP] problem with nvflash (formatting p15 UDA)

Hello,
I'm experiencing a problem during an installation of a new fresh rom.
My TF did bootloops (no apparent reasons) on asus boot screen earlier this day.
After trying to restore a backup and wipe all the data via CWM, the device is now stuck on APX mode (black screen).
So I decided to reinstall a fresh prime rom on it via the software brk root toolkit because I can't have an acess on CWM recovery anymore.
I use the nvflash method to install the new rom (as I say I restored my boot and system files but it doesn't change anything) but there is a problem during the flash when formatting the 15th partition (UDA).
Here is what nvflash printed :

NVflash is stuck on this position for nearly one hour and the device shut down itself and can't finish the rom installation.
I tried to reinstall via NVflash with several rom (prime 2.1.0, prime 1.6r2, prime 1.4 and stock firmware 3.2) and it print the same error aswell.
I can't get forward ...
Anyone has a solution to reinstall a new rom or to bypass this error? Am I stuck to an APX bootloop? Do I have to send my device to asus to restore the damn thing?
At least I want to have access to CWM again.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my engrish.
Well, I finally manage to install a clean stock rom and now everything works!
I made a full restore first with brk root toolkit and then I apply a stock rom with nvflash.
Thanks to the community which provides me these tools.

Pardon my english!! I am V. Poor in english
I had the Same problem.. Asus TF101 B70.
Initially My device was going on Boot Loop for no reason , but it used to get resolved whenever I do a (Soft reset Power+Vol Down and then wait for next screen and press Vol Up on the Android Image).
I flashed my recovery to Roach. with easy flasher. Thanks to White Kidney!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
Then when i flashed with Stock ROM i was hanging up at Formatting No15 UDA.
With Impatience I quit the process and then MY TF was a total brick!! Only APX.. No bootloader nothing.
I learnt about Wheelie / nvflash. I even tried the above procedure of un-blobbing and flashing just EBT. No Luck!!!!.
Then i found this lucky tool by brk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688447&page=1
This made my life easier (I thought) . I backed up my whole device and then I tried the restore.. But no Luck!!
Then I came back again to Easy Flashed and I flashed the device with ASUS stock WW v9.1..... . .. 27..
YOU NEED PATIENCE.. I told to myself
I waited for a long time in the 15th step Formatting UDA.. I left the process and went out to the Hospital to help my Mom's Physiotherapy Classes. Came back after 1-2 hours.. and my Screen was blank!!! (Both Laptop and TF101)...
Guess which one i turned on first!! My TF101.. And there Voila... I saw the Welcome screen to choose my Language.. I was Smiling like an Angel.. Happy Cheerfull after a full day and night of hardwork..
Then i saw the command prompt to see that NVFlash was successfull..
Dont forget this after you got lucky!!

Just to make sure you are safe... You have to do this after you got lucky.. Will save you from boot loops..
Get the Sudo access with any of the Custom recoverys.. Install from SD Card option and install SU. then use Terminal emulator or ADB to do the following steps.
http://justanotherdave.ca/2013/07/24/fixing-an-asus-transformer-tf101-stuck-in-recovery-boot-loop/
As with all ASDK tomfoolery, start the adb server
adb start-server
Check to make sure the device shows up
adb devices
Start the required remote shell session
adb shell
Run the follow magic command to make everything happy again
echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0
And then reboot the device.
reboot

I plan on loading the ubuntu.img onto my Linux PC and seeing if I can get everything pre-installed and such for the 3.1 kernel, or if there is a way to automatically install everything. When I figure that out I will make a checkbox to install jhinta's 3.1 kernel.

Cool I'm on a SBK1 so i cant test but I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes.
Me too
Initially it told me "wlybl.bin" didn't exist so I renamed "whybl.bin" to match, this made it work so I hope it was just a typo.
I was good until...
Code:
ubuntu.img sent successfully
failed executing command 25 NvError 0x30012
command failure: sync failed
Then it booted into Android automatically and I shut it down to test Ubuntu.
Held the Volume Down key and Power but nothing happens.
Holding down the Power key by itself and I get nothing.
This is my first time working with NVFlash, I used the ROM from the bottom of this page because I wanted root- http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514658- and it doesn't appear that the downloads page works, although I would really like to use Revolver eventually.
Any suggestions? I'm feeling a little bricked ATM.
Thanks for doing all this to make it work for us late-blooming SBK2 owners.
Did you have bootloader.bin, system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img all backed up from your current ROM already? To fix it not booting you could use this PERI tool. Thanks for letting me know about the typo, I'll get to that after work. If you use the wheelie tool try to download everything to the TF101 manually. Here is a list of appropriate partitions:
Partition 4 (EBT) = bootloader.bin
Partition 5 (SOS) = linux.img
Partition 6 (LNX) = boot.img
Partition 9 (APP) = system.img
Partition 16 (UBT) = ubuntu.img
If you would like me to make a batch file prepared for the wheelie tool I can. Apologies for it softbricking your tablet
EDIT: You could try this with wheelie. Save it as a .bat in the same directory as wheelie. Since you already have re-formatted correctly with this tool there is no need to use the download SBKv2 batch contained in the wheelie download to reformat again.
cd %~dp0
"wheelie.exe" -2 --bct transformer.bct --bl bootloader.bin --odm 0x300d8011
"nvflash.exe" -r --download 4 bootloader.bin
"nvflash.exe" -r --download 5 linux.img
"nvflash.exe" -r --download 6 boot.img
"nvflash.exe" -r --download 9 system.img
"nvflash.exe" -r --download 16 ubuntu.img
pause
exit
Thanks for the help, it helped me get back to full stock at least but flashing individual partitions didn't work for me.
I actually got it working with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1537566. I'm away from my home Windows machine and using a laptop running Linux. I still want to try to get this to work though so I'm going to wipe and try the tool here later.
Question: How can I get the system, boot, Linux, etc images from a current backup, or is that what cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar, and system.ext4.tar are?
Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app
It should (updated yesterday) get the images by itself now.
Ok, a couple of issues.
Wheelie starts up just fine, using wlybl, but then it tries to start nvflash with bootloader.bin before it's pulled it so that fails. Then, download of "4 bootloader.bin" itself fails. I'm trying a couple of things but every time I run it it formats all the partitions whether or not it's going well already so I have to reflash stock with wheelie and then root and install recovery with peri since this is going to overwrite my recovery partition.
Wasn't fast enough to copy a full log, is that saved somewhere? I'm going to try again but provide the *.img files myself and hope that works out.
I'm going to start work on a program written in Java to do this if I cannot get it working. At least now I know exactly why its failing. Thanks for that information, I'll check it out as soon as I can. I should be able to spare the $10 to buy myself a new sync cable on friday. I'll start work on the Java program tonight though, just to get the base built. For this, I'll try to explore why its not waiting for wheelie to finish. Might need to add in a boolean or 2 and try it then.
Thanks for the information though, it was very helpful as I cannot test it myself right now due to a bad sync cable.
Alright that is some very helpful information. I'll see about a temp fix of a 3-click instead. Meaning a click to setup wheelie, another click to get files, then another to flash. Not the best method nor one I am proud to have to do, but its better than softbricking each time it uses. I'm very busy until wednesday though. Hopefully friday I will be able to spare the $10 for a new sync cable so that I should be able to test once that comes in.
Anyways, thanks again. I'll get to it as soon as possible.
I used the dual boot wizard and after completion it bootet into Prime. But once I restart it only goes to APX Mode.

Seems like it didn't send recovery.img file?
The recovery.img is a backup file for restore later, its just smart to have one. I am still looking into the problem of why its rebooting into android fine, but not going into Ubuntu. I just got a new cord in for my tablet, but the PC power supply went out so I am back a few days until that comes in. Hopefully I will be able to get it fixed then. Apologies.

I used the dual boot wizard and after completion it bootet into Prime. But once I restart it only goes to APX Mode.

I got this problem too. But it goes to Android after the failure. When I turn it off, it goes into APX Mode
Am stuuck in APX mode, just like described above... anyone figured out a solution?
It'd be greatly appreciated

If you just want to get out of apx mode use easyflasher and install custom recovery from it, then restore backups etc
Hi,
Once I had installed native Ubuntu 11.04 on my TF101's EMMC by repartitioning it. Speacially splitting the sdcard partition into 2 (smaller sdcard and 4GB Ubuntu ext4)
I know this is not related to this thread but I need help and I don't know where to start.
I forgot how I did the repartitioning and the tools I had used. Now I want to restore the original partitioning of TF101 and delete Ubuntu partition.
How can I do this ? I don't want to modify any other partition (system, data etc.) just want to build up sdcard partition as original.

where can I find easyflasher ?

[Solved]New to tinkering and already bricked

Hey guys, I'll try to keep it short and get to the parts that really matter, but any help would really be appreciated.
Long story short, wanted to get onto Jellybean with my B60 TF101.
Started with easyflasher since that seemed like the quickest way to get setup. Couldn't get it working because I had not yet installed APX drivers, but not knowing that yet I moved on to 1 Click transformer root. At this point I discovered the APX drivers were not installed and installed the Universal Naked drivers. Still could not get 1 Click transformer root to work and so I returned to easy flasher. Tried to flash recovery to Roach CWM, but did not work. I figured alright, at this point I will just flash to stock to see if working with a clean slate would help. Flashed to stock using easyflasher and the latest firmware off ASUS website, but it failed. I now am only able to get into APX mode and after running easyflasher a number of times hoping it would fix it to no avail I did some searching and found a few similar threads.
This seemed closest to what I was experiencing, but after going through the thread I could not get anything to work. And that's where I am. I ran Brk's ASUS transformer root, installed the drivers from that thinking maybe the ones I had installed weren't the best and ran the stock flashing section and I still end up in the same place. I'm entirely new to this so pardon my ignorance, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Here's the log from the last run of Brk's Root Toolkit

EDIT: Problem solved. Switched to USB port on back of computer and ran reflash_sbkv1.bat included with brk's root toolkit and it worked. After that just started up the toolkit and reflashed the firmware from the GUI and i'm back in business. Not sure which part was the important one, but maybe this will help someone else.
