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.

I Appreciate your reply

hguled,
What operating system are you using?
The nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip is for Windows.
The file nvflash_linux_2010110500.tar.gz is for Linux.

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!

[Q] Installing ROM to save a bricked G2x

Spent the day bricking my G2x. The phone will not power up. I still have access to the phone using the vol up/down keys with no battery.
I am trying to use the method described here to recover the phone to a bootable state.

I downloaded the files twice, and get the same results with both downloads.
Any help would be appreciated!

Your holding down the buttons the whole time correct? I dunno maybe try a different port or windows 7.

Yeah I suggest try putting your files setup exactly as he says in the tutorial and as dru12k said make sure you hold the buttons the entire time. If that don't work I know it works on windows 7. I recovered mine several times using it.

Once the flashing starts, I have been releasing the buttons! I'll give this a try when I get home tonight. Thanks!

Giant Success!
From the great abyss, we have looked over the edge and laughed! The key was holding the buttons throughout the flashing process. Everything worked swimmingly, and the phone is back to tip-top shape - even better than before.
Thanks for the words of encouragement, and being here to help everyone out.

[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.

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.
