A week ago I got a gTablet from eBay and I've been very happy playing with it every day. The main reason to get this tablet was the possibility to get Honeycomb working on the device.
Now I'm ready to go forward and install a Honeycomb rom on it, but there are some issues that I can't resolve.
The first thing is the tablet came already rooted with VEGAn-TAB. Due to the fact that I have to check the bootloader version, I followed the well known instructions to do that, that is, go to Settings > About tablet > Tapu UI Version. The first problem I run into was that I don't have Settings > About tablet, I have Settings > About phone. When I tap on that option, I don't get Tapu UI Version. This is what I get:
Model number: VEGAn-TAB
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: Unknown
Kernel version: 2.6.32.36-cyanogenmod root at pershoot-ubuntu #1
CPU info: ARMv7 Processor rev o (v7l)
Mod version: VEGAn-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony
Build number: GRI40
Can I infere the bootloader version from this info?
The second thing is I have to decide wich rom can I install after getting the bootloader version.
And the last issue is what is the recommended procedure to install the selected rom given the current configuration of my tablet?
I've read several guides, lots of forum posts, and I've made a great deal of searches but haven't had any luck, so I decided to post this in the hope that someone of the great devs here can help me with my task.
Any help will be very apreciated.
Doesn't matter. Honeycomb has a different structure than everything else. You need to perform code red on my website to install honeycomb. Click in signature.

That looks like vegan tab ginger edition.
Should be 1.1 BL
You should be able to drop this Honeycomb rom on it... Get the 1.1BL version. It works well. I moved from VeganTab Ginger to this just fine

I copied the BL1.1 ROM from the link you provided me to the gTab and then I followed the guide to flash it from goodintentions' website and voilà!! after a few minutes I was playing with Honeycomb. Awesome!!!
Thank you very much for your help.
I am waiting for an update as I lost bluetooth after updating to Beta 3.1. Very snappy. Which ROM are you using?
I installed yesterday. But I can not see any videos (sound only, flash 10.3 plugin). Does anybody know why?

I'm loving this Honeycomb ROM; there's no chance I'll be switching back.
Erm, on a side question, which HC rom are you using?
Is it Bottle of Smoke Honeycomb? Or gTab comb ? Honeycomb illuminate. I am now using a CM7 harmony and no idea which HC is better. I don't need bluetooth or camera, but I sure want a good stable HC

+1 for GtabComb
If your not on it, get on it. If you are and cant get flash to work then do this. Make sure adobe flash 10.3 is installed in market, then download and install Opera MOBILE browser. Flash will then work

Well, I still can't get Flash to work for everything (Flash games such as Cityville, Dungeon Overlord, CivWorld, etc).

I'm using GtabComb 3.1, you can find the link in schettj's post in the begining of this thread.
Upgrade to 3.2
A day after I flashed GtabComb beta 3.1 on my gTab, zyhong posted a new rom, beta 3.2. I would like to upgrade to this version, without having to reinstall all the apps I already have now. Any advice on how to do it? I'm planning to use Titanium Backup but I don't know what to backup (should I backup just user apps or user apps + system data)
As always, any help would be highly appreciated.

Instructions are on one of the last pages of the gtabcomb thread. Someone just asked that.

Thanks dman918, indeed there is a post about it in the gtabcomb thread. I just copied the zip file to the gtab, went to recovery mod, flashed the zip and cleared dalvik cache. After reboot, I found everything in its place.
Glad I could help! Also good to know for when the next release comes out.
First silly question about this rom.
Can I load this onto a non-us xoom, or do I need to wait for lowtraxx to mod it?
TIA.

Look in the Development section and you will see a thread for installing Tiamat 2.0 Manta Ray rom on non-US Xooms.
Cheers, done that already. Can 2.1.0 be I stalled over the top?
I use a German T-mobile Zoom.
The Update works fine for me.
I have yust Installed 2.0, later I updated to 2.01 and now
My Zoom is running with Tiamat 2.1.
For now without Problems.
Before you upgrade dont forget the backup, so you can came back if you dont like it.

I recently bought an Acer Iconia A200 tablet. The first night i got it I was suprised to find that it was pre-installed with Honeycomb 3.2.1 instead of Ice Cream Sandwhich which was released for this table months ago! When i would go to About tablet<software update, it would never find an update. I, being the noob I am, figured I'd just root it and install ICS. I learned the hard way that doesnt work. The simpleroot method is only for ICS 4.0.3 so when I used it on my A200 running HC 3.2.1, it soft bricked. leaving me having to go into fastboot and manually flash the Honeycomb boot.img because i couldnt flash roms through CWM (because of no root). This got my Tablet booting finally but left it stuck on Honeycomb 3.2.1 with the bootloader 3.1.3. Leaving me unable to update to ICS and unable to root (from my understanding) Are there any talented Dev's out there willing to help me possibly downgrade my bootloader or go some route of fixing my device so i can root and install CM9? If anyone can help please reply or shoot me a PM and we can hop on an IRC channel! Thanks in advance!
update?

Hi all
I would like to install the new official update for jelly bean
Actually I'm on Baked Black Bean (AOSP) Jelly Bean
I think I cannot install directly the update from a custom rom
So, is it possible to downgrade from jelly bean AOSP to ICS asus .30 or .26 and after apply update for official jelly bean ?
Thanks for your answers
No, you cannot flash stock JB over a custom ROM because it is only an update package, as has been referenced on multiple threads by now. Please refrain from starting a new thread to get answers that have been given multiple times already, since that only keeps us busy with reiterating ourselves.

If you get stuck while having read and reread these threads, making sure you get the point, do chime in and we'll help you out.
One word of advice, though: stay away from .30 UNLESS you already have NvFlash installed -- in that case, it seems only nuclear disaster could wreck your 700. In essence, the same would go for stock JB -- as we don't know what the side effects are as of yet -- but, hey, you seem bent on finding out. If you do, tell us, OK?
Hello all,
I have a question about my Wolfgang AT-AS40SE.
I want to update it to Android 4.1 or 4.2 but i can't find a custom ROM to update this phone... The original 4.1 update is removed from the official site. Is there any way i can update it? (Also maybe 4.4 in the future?)
Tnkx in advance.
I have the exact same question. Does anybody have a clue...?
