Can't format G-Tab, nvflash does nothing, all apps and settings are still there!

Okay I am super confused. I've successfully used FORMAT utility and also nvflash restore...but the tablet won't format!!! All my apps and settings are still there when I nvflash restore it!
I ran the nvflash_gtablet.bat from the Format utility..and it looked liked it worked: at the end of the process the tablet showed the red font with the kernel mismatch and bootloader not found, or something along those lines..
Just to be safe, I did it a second time. lol
Then I used nvflash restore to restore it back to original shipping.
I noticed right away something was wrong when as soon as it booted to the tap and tap home screen, the screen started to go dim after 15 seconds (that was the screen timeout time I'd set before formatting and all that).
But I thought maybe it was a fluke, so I checked the app drawer, and all my apps are there!!!! Not only that, it connected to my password protected wifi right away!!
Can someone please help me delete the f_ck out of this thing? I want there to be NOTHING left, so I can get a clean start.
The reason I wanted to format is because, I'm having a sound issue with my gtablet (whenever entering the volume control and adjusting the volume the processes always force closes...no matter what ROM I'm on). I wipe data, try to start fresh, but the problem always occurs after a few hours of use on any ROM (even the brand new TNT 5).
And I don't know if this matters or not, I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit...but I obviously have the USB drivers working because I'm using these utilities.

Please somebody? Today is my only day off work for a long long time.

I "THINK" I remember reading that you could flash CWM and from there wipe user data, then run nvflash to get back to stock recovery. Never tried it myself & I'm new here, so take the info for what it is worth.

Don't panic....
I don't think you have anything to worry about. If you read the post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974422), it states in rather large red letters at top :"This fully erases the ROM but this will NOT affect the internal SD card. You MUST be able to use nvflash to restore the stock firmware."
Since your apps are installed on the internal SD, that's why you see them when you reload the ROM.
Edit: If I were you, I'd run the Format and load stock, then reload Clockwork and format the internal SD. That should get you back to a rather vanilla slate.

You can also refer to the posting below as another source. If you go down to the Homebrew link found in the posting, it's is used to revert the gtab back to it's original TnT state.

format and nvflash do not erase personnal data, a full reflash of difference firmware might format your personnal data, if you want to wipe out data, use the Factory wipe in the CW menu

Thank you all for your replies. But I am a little confused still. AFAIK the apps aren't on the sd card...wouldn't I be able to see them when I mount the sd card on the computer?

[Q] New G2X: Should I mod/root?

I got a new LG P999 (I think that's the G2X). I'm new to Android but I'm not sure if I should root/mod or not.
Is there really any significant benefits from modding (like speed or stability) or it's just to make your Android flashier?
Also, what mod would be best to go for? And if someone could link me to a beginner tutorial on how to mod (with simpler terminology; I only found some with terminology like NANDroid, clockwork recovery, etc... which I don't really understand), that would be much appreciated.
Hope someone can help, thanks!

Well, rooting/modding gives you every benefit out there. Battery life, speed, options, features, the list goes on. Flashing ROM's is basically 99% the reason why people root or install a custom recovery on their phones. NANdroid, Clockwork MOD, etc are basically the basis and the stuff that you need to know about rooting. Since you're new I suggest you read a lot first and get to know what those terminologies are. ClockWork is a custom recovery that enables you to flash a custom ROM onto your phone.
Here is the G2x Bible. That's a reference guide to most, if not everything, that you need to know.
Here is the NVFlash method that you need to do to install Clockwork onto your G2x. You don't really need root for the G2x, just install Clockwork via that guide and you'll be good to go.
Remember: Read, read, and read.

Thanks for your reply! Those links helped me a lot. A few questions though:
1) If I don't have an external SD card, will I be able to put an external SD card without problems later? And can I re-flash for the external SD card support if desired?
2) Once I'm in the ClockworkMod Recovery, how do I put the ROM on my phone? (Flash is the correct terminology if I'm not mistaken).
3) Which ROM or mod should I go with? From the looks of it, a lot of people use CyanogenMod, but is there one that's most stable/fast?
Thanks again for your answer.

Here's another guide on NVFlashing.
These are my 3 favorite ROM's. And I'm sure most of the G2x people would agree as well.
Eagle's Blood: Based on LG's stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Weapon G2x: Again, based on LG's stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread, but with Whitehawx's many tweaks and features.
And of course, CyanogenMOD 7 Nightlies: It's based on Google's AOSP, but the CM team has added in hundreds of tweaks that makes the user experience the best you can ever get on Android.
My favorite is CM but I suggest you try all 3 to see which one you like the best.
Yes, you can slip in an SD card after you've flashed if you want. Just follow the instructions carefully on how to NVFlash, there's even a YouTube video on how to do it.
Once you're in CWM, I suggest you do a NANDroid backup to backup your current ROM. Then do the following steps.
1. Wipe Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache (within Advanced)
4. Then go into mounts and format your /system
5. Then proceed to flashing your desired ROM.
Here's a quick video on how to flash a ROM.
But note; that video is how to flash a ROM on a myTouch 4G, just ignore the ROM's I showed in that video as it's for the MT4G. But the Clockwork MOD that you see there is just like the one for the G2x, except now the letters are blue. Do as I did in that video by wiping everything. Only thing I left out is formating /system since it wasn't needed on the MT4G. So don't forget to do that on your G2x.
Also, do you have Froyo or Gingerbread right now?

If you need any help with your g2x just drop me an email at [email protected]. I will be happy to help with any questions you may have.

Thanks again for your awesome reply mackster248.
To answer your question, I'm currently running Froyo and I'm not actually with T-Mobile. I'm in Quebec with Videotron but I read it's the same phone. The phone model I have is LG P999DW.
I think I'll go with CM V7.1.0.1 as my first ROM (the nightlies may not be as stable as I want them to be). Do you think that would be an okay ROM as a first?
So just to confirm, this is what I will be doing as a whole process:
First, I will follow the NVFlashing guide which will allow me to use ClockworkMod Recovery. Next, I'll do a backup with NANDroid (which I assume is an option in CWM). Following that, I follow the wiping steps you listed (same as your video). Is that correct or am I missing something?
Thanks again!
EDIT: So I followed the NVFlash steps and it worked fine until I tried to boot in Recover by holding Vol Down + Power, but it doesn't seem to do anything... I can boot up the phone fine normally by holding the power button though. Is there a reason booting into recovery wouldn't work?
EDIT 2: Ah, nevermind. It works after I took out the battery and tried again.
EDIT 3: I haven't wiped my data yet in the recovery, but it seems I need an SD card so I can load the zip of the ROM I want. Is there a way to load the ROM from my computer or will I need to get an SD card first? Also, I would like to know if I should root as well? Does it make a difference? If not, why do people root before flashing?

Do you mind making a video of all the steps you did in exact order? also people root because most phones just use ROM manager to flash clockworkmod right from ROM Manger, but we are using NVFlash so we dont technically need it. Also new to the G2x, from (wind Mobile, i believe its the same one as the videotron P999-DW)
but im so scared to flash lol i had a vibrant i9000-m die on me before :3

Well, I can't make a video of what I did since I don't have a spare camera. All I did up until now is follow the NVFlashing guide to get ClockworkMod Recovery. It's not very hard to do actually.
I'm apparently supposed to wipe data, etc. now but I don't want to do that because steps later say that I need to flash from the SD card which I don't have. So I need to know now whether I need an SD card to flash a ROM on the phone? I've ordered an SD card which might take a while to get but after I get it, I also would like to know whether I need to root to flash? (since ROM manager says I need to root to use it, maybe I need to root to flash a ROM via CWM as well?)
I downloaded ROM manager and it says I need to root my phone for it to function. I also tried "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" via the ROM manager which gives me an error as well.
So if someone could let me know whether 1) I can flash without an SD card and 2) whether I need to root to flash via CWM, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The newest version of CWM Recovery requires a physical SD to put the rom backups on. Go get yourself one. The smaller capacities are very inexpensive now, but it is nice to have a larger one if you can afford it. Each backup is very large, so a small card would run out of space quickly if you don't offload them to your computer or another storage medium. If you want to backup to the internal sd then install the older version (4.0.1.5) of CWM that support internal sd only, then you don't need a physical sd card. That is why TGA_Gunnman put that version back into his flasher.

With the latest CWM and a g2x and NO sd card, I was able to root, and flash roms. Just select the flash zip from internal SD option in CWM. I did not backup though.

Wouldn't the flash zip be deleted after you wipe the data, etc.?
Also, do I need to root for flash via CWM to work?

No just place it in the root.

So you're saying that if I place the ROM on the root of the phone, it won't be deleted once I wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and format my /system?
I would just like to make sure as I don't want to be stuck without a phone until I get an SD card and no backup.
Thanks

If you were factory resetting a Samsung the internal SD is also wiped; but thankfully, LG does not do that. When you do a factory reset on the P999 all it does is wipe the data and cache partitions. The internal sd is left alone. So yes you can place the zip package on the internal sd, reset and then flash it. It also doesn't have to be on the root. In CWM if you select install zip from sd card, you can then choose external or internal sd and navigate to any folder and zip file you want to flash. Have fun!

I was able to install the old CWM with internal SD card support and I used that to make a backup and flash the ROM successfully. Everything seems to be awesome so far except that I can't use USB mass storage from the O/S. I turn on USB mass storage and my computer doesn't detect it. The only way to make it work is going to CWM and mounting the USB. Anyone know how I would be able to make it work through the O/S again?
I also can't install Swype without an external SD card, but I'll have one soon so that's not a big worry.
Aside from those things, I think it's pretty cool.
Thanks to everyone who helped.

Have fun bud. No phone is perfect, but the G2x is pretty awesome.

Yeah, it's awesome. But anyone know why USB mass storage doesn't show the removable drive on my computer? I have to go into CWM and mount it to make it work, but I would prefer to be able to do it via the O/S.
Thanks for all your help though guys, you guys are awesome

I'm not sure why it only works via CWM, any other suggestions?

Could be USB connection type is set wrong internally. See if there is some setting in CM7 for it. On a stock rom you can go into LG Hidden menu and set USB to automatic.

As well, wiping the internal storage may be possible through the stock ROM under settings-> storage....but i was working with codename android. I tried the "Erase Tablet" under Settings->Backup and Restore-> Factory Reset-> Wipe all personal information.
However, after restarting, nothing was deleted.
I'm going to flash the stock ROM and try to look for a format option under Settings->Storage, and i'll try doing a factory reset under settings-> Privacy.
If that doesn't work, i'll have to reflash Revolver 4 beta, and try to look in the settings there.
But as far as trying to delete everything from a computer, idk if i have to have USB debugging enabled, or some settings switched, because browsing the contents of the internal storage over USB doesn't even show all of the folders.

if you have a SBK1 devics you can use NVFlash that wipes everything and repartitions it and i believe there is a superwipe script in the arhd thread that wipes internal storage

Will this wipe CWM as well? Was hoping this wouldn't be too complicated. This will be a joke if i have to redo EVERYTHING.
I really just wanna wipe the internal storage and then flash a ROM from my sdcard.
So if things do work out like i want them to, I can just use the ICS Nvflash and things will be wiped?
Or will this be convoluted---as in i'll have to use the script, install ARHD (which is honeycomb right?) install CWM, rewipe (at which point i'll have some crap from ARHD in my internal storage...grr), and then, finally, install my ROM?
BTW, i have a B70 transformer that was rootable via the one-click live CD. I assume that means i have a SBK1.
I can remove my MicroSD during this, amirite?

C'mon asus, this is such a basic feature.
If i recall correctly, wasn't there a feature in settings, that if you entered your pattern or password incorrectly a certain number of times, your data would be wiped? If this wipes ALL personal information, that feature would be really handy right now.

Download the super wipe. Then use the recovery to run it. It will handle all things internal.

Not sure which CWM you are using but in Rogue XM Recovery, there's an option to format /sdcard under Mounts and Storage. IIRC the regular CWM has that option too. There is also an option to partition the SD card under Advanced.
You can also use the the superwipe(full version) script to delete everything on internal storage. No it doesn't remove CWM.

what is this one click live cd rooting? Some sort of linux live cd? Why didn't you just use ViperMod?
How did you come to the assumption that you have a SBK1? Did the author of the rooting method specifically say it only works for SBK1 devices?
FROM THE MODERATOR . . . Watch the use of profanity... please use respectful language in this forum--- THX

The One-Click live CD was in it's prime during intitial release. ASUS changed the bootloader encryption key during the second half of B70* production. Before the second encryption key was released, B70*+ users were in limbo.
I came to that conclusion because i had no issue rooting and installing CWM with the first batch of tools, while others, who had devices with serial numbers in the second half of the B70* spectrum did. So yes, there is a method to my madness.
And i used the Live CD One-Click method because i was rusty with a CMD prompt. To each his own. It rooted, partitioned, and installed CWM.
I might add...this was my first Android device, and it was certainly my first time lurking around root. It was perfect for someone with a limited knowledge of android and Linux (at the time).

Thanks! I might as well give ARHD a try while im at it! Will report back!

Oh I see. Yes you are right about having sbk1.
Not sure which version of CWM comes with it but it should have an option to format sdcard like I said earlier. I know this because I used that option to delete everything before flashing ICS.

The Super-Wipe script worked perfectly for deleting the data, but the ARHD thread says that it reformats the partitions as EXT4. i installed ARHD after using the super wipe script and during the restore (Google's cloud restore), iI immediately got swamped with Google Play Store errors- Error 403 every time it tried to install an app.
Codename Android installed, restored, and ran fine...including app installation, so im not sure what was the problem, but i have a feeling it has to do with the file system change. If this is true, be aware. The script may function well, but its also possible you'll end up having to reformat anyways to change the filesystem back. Ill post this as well in the proper thread...but i thinks it's also relevant to this discussion.
I suppose XDA and Android have led me to my next topic of research--filesystem usage in Android with stock and custom ROMs.

[Q] How do properly install KatKiss ROM?

Hi
My problem with battery drain, somehow, was kind of solved. If I "full wipe battery stats" at 100% and never EVER let it run out of juice, it would last as longer as I would want.
And
I couldn't manage, by any means, to push the ROM into the tablet, adb push didn't work. So as my problem was solved I gave up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367518
But now I got two bigger problems, the battery of my tablet never goes to 100%, it finishes recharging at 93% and my dock station does not recharge, doesn't matter how long I let it on the power supply. Plus the light indicator is always blinking on red.
Every key works perfectly, the pointer track too and all the USB ports aswell. I can even recharge the tablet with the dock connected, so energy seems to be flowing fine.
I was told that installing a brand new system can solve this, so I want to give it a shoot.
I was told too that this KatKiss ROM is very good, so why not?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392087
To do that I must upgrade my recovery to this version:

How do properly install KatKiss ROM?
Off-Topic Question:
Should I wait for android 4.4 KitKat
Here is some useful information:
Thank you very much!

For your dock battery, there is a chance that the switch in the doc for the battery charge circuit changed state. If you are good with delicate work, might be worth a shot to open up the dock and give that a look. 2 screws under the rear rubber feet then it prys a part. I start from one of the back corners and work around when I have opened mine.
So, I would HIGHLY recommend upgrading to TWRP. There are a few ways to do it. If you can boot your ROM, put the TWRP.zip file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434422 on the /sdcard/ and flash it from recovery. REBOOT NORMALLY. If you try to reboot directly to recovery it won't work.
If you cannot boot to your ROM, you will have to use ADB to push the file to the internal directory.
If that does not work, try EasyFlasher. I have a tutorial here as well as newer versions of TWRP bundled with EasyFlasher: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...nt/31927-frederucos-guide-root-rom-tf101.html
Once you get TWRP installed, make a nandroid of what you currently have just in case.
Then wipe the following: Cache, Davlik, System, Data (note wipe data will not completley wipe the /sdcard/ partition, only the FORMAT DATA or WIPE INTERNAL will wipe the /sdcard/).
Install the KatKiss ROM and the applicable GAPPS 2nd.
Wipe caches
Reboot.

Hi Freduco!
I will leave any hardware approach after dealing with the software.
Here is the TWRP updated (Glad it worked)
Going to try now the system
Edit. 1
FINALLY the EasyFlasher worked!!!
I guess it was a problem with my old Recovery
Before doing that I wiped: CACHE, DAVLIK CACHE, FACTORY RESET, SYSTEM and INTERNAL.
I have flashed both:
KatKiss-4.3.1_027.zip
gapps-KatKiss-4.3_20130914.zip
But when I go to install on the TWRP there is no .zip to install.
There are several android system folders like the system is already installed, but I don't know.
Do I need to "Bootloader" or something?

Please help me,
I think it is the last thing I need to do

How is your microSD formatted?
You are using TWRP 2.2.1.4 which only supports FAT32. You will need to boot to recovery AFTER inserting the microSD. It is not hot swappable.
Also, I would recommend TWRP 2.3.2.3 or later as 2.2.1.4 does not properly support the new directory structure when flashing updates to 4.2.X and later ROMs. It is fine for initial install though.

Ok, you cannot use EasyFlasher to flash KatKiss because the files are not in SOS format.
EasyFlasher can flash Stock firmware (as downloaded from Asus, not unzipped) and also .sos files for recoveies.
Once you get TWRP installed, use that to install your ROM.
If you do not have a microSD, it is much easier if you get one, even a small 1-4 GB one.
Otherwise, you need to use ADB to push the ROM and GAPPS to the /sdcard/ when the tablet is in recovery (and if you are on TWRP 2.6 or newer you need to enable ADB sideload in the recovery).
Alternatively, you could flash back to stock with EasyFlasher. Then download the files into the /sdcard/. After that, flash TWRP with EasyFlasher and then boot to TWRP and install the files from the internal memory.

Ok, you cannot use EasyFlasher to flash KatKiss because the files are not in SOS format.
EasyFlasher can flash Stock firmware (as downloaded from Asus, not unzipped) and also .sos files for recoveies.
Once you get TWRP installed, use that to install your ROM.
If you do not have a microSD, it is much easier if you get one, even a small 1-4 GB one.

Alright! Stock worked!

Any time you flash from any ROM to another, unless it is a newer version (say KatKiss 026 to KatKiss 027) you should ALWAYS wipe the data (factory reset).
Not doing this can cause some fragments of system data to cause instabilities (Random Reboots and Sleep Of Death).
To go from Stock to KatKiss, I would not try it without wiping Data, System, Cache and Davlik in TWRP.
Wiping the Data partition in TWRP will not actually wipe the files on the /sdcard/, it only wipes those in the /data/ partition without touching /data/media/.
However - if you choose the (depends on version of TWRP) FORMAT DATA or FORMAT INTERNAL it will wipe out the /sdcard/

Before doing anything further, I recharged the both tablet and dock.
The 93% battery bug is solved, now its 100%, although the dock still not recharging.
So since I am selling the tablet I will leave it stock, the buyer may complain about battery drain, freezes or random reboots, things I had with Android Revolution HD.
The dock... I will try to contact Asus about my problem and ask a blueprint where should I find this circuit you told me about.
If you can lead me with good video tutorials or forum threads about how to open and find that circuit I would be really grateful.
Thank you for all your help and kindness Freduco !

Have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381186
The dock is pretty easy to open. Remove the rear rubber feet, 2 screws, and then start from a back corner and pop it open.
That board is on the left.

I opened the dock and the switch was already on, I changed to "off" and "on" again, but it still not recharging.
More than 2 hours on the power supply and red light still blinking,
What else can be done?

[Q] oh no...what have I done..!

I have spent the last 3 days trying to upgrade my Tf101 with an up to the minute os but have bitten off more than I can chew. I spent the whole of the first day just trying to root it to no avail. Ok, no problem, sleep on it. Next morning tried a different method and " hey presto " I have done it.
So, next job is download " Titanium " and make back up to micro sd card, all done. I then followed " Frederuco's Guide and installed EasyFlasher with TWRP 2.3.6.0 and with a bit of fiddling and button pushing managed to load it and followed his guide right through to the second option " Custom Rom with custom recovery ". I had loaded KatKiss 4.4.2_019.zip along with the add on pack and the latest Gapps package. So far so good. Did full the full wipe/ factory reset, cache, davlick cache, system etc, more success, nearly there. Back to TWRP home screen an click INSTALL to start the flash............where is the micro sd..........? Check further.........micro sd not mounted......oh sugar.......
So now I'm screwed, I think I have bitten off more than I can chew. My little TF101 was working fine before I messed with it albeit a bit slow but it was working. Micro sd card slot was working fine up until now. I am not that PC literate if anyone can help me it needs to be in simple terms please, but I can follow instructions. My pc is running on win 7 32 bit. The Asus was totally stock on the last firmware that ended with .27
I do have a keyboard dock with it but has not been coupled to it through out this process.
Have I trashed my little Asus..?
I appreciate any thoughts even if it bad news. This is the first time I have ever attempted something like this, a total newbie.
Thanks,
Steve

Go to the "Mount" option in TWRP and mount the MicroSD ?
If I remember correctly, with the newer TWRP builds, you have to change between Internal and External SD using a dropdown on the Install page

Also, you need to have the micro SD installed on boot I believe. It is not auto mounted in TWRP.

Tried that, it says something like " unable to mount in the logs " Did it quite a few times.
Thanks for the reply

I thought that and that could have been my first mistake as I had not got the files on it when the Guide told me me to install the rom to flash.
I then put the files on a inserted the card but obviously it still did not mount. I did try the " mounting option " in the program but as you can see I did not manage it. I will try again but I am not holding my breath...!
Thanks for your reply.

Tyr flashing a different version with Easyflasher
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
Or
Download a different flashable TWRP zip - 2.3.2.3 is the latest official build
Connect PC > TF and boot into TWRP
Use adb to push version 2.3.2.3 to the TF internal sdcard
adb push twrp.zip /sdcard/
Then flash from internal sd
You could do the same with the ROM

ok, lost me there....what is ADB ?

Just use Easyflasher, it's easy and quick
ADB
http://www.geek.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-do-i-use-it-1461697/

I'm still trying now, have Easyflsher open but am struggling with it.......I've done so much reading my brain is pickled...!

I have been trying to use ABD sideload but it is not loading........

I am still trying to sort my problem out.
I have downloaded fresh copy of EasyFlasher- 0.8.3b-STABLE_2.6.3.0 which I assume is the latest version?
I am able to get the TF101 into APX mode and load TWRP.
It would appear that the TF is not connecting to my win7 PC because of a driver issue. When I go to device manager the Android ATP device has a yellow triangle through it which I asume is the driver issue. It keeps trying to load a new deiver but ends up as " Failed "
The drivers that I am pointing it at are " Universal Naked Driver 0.72 which I thought where the ones required or perhaps I am doing something wrong...?
I assume if I can get this connected I can move forward.
Can anyone help me with this issue please. I tried till 02.30 this morning, I never figured that it was going to be this hard..!
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi, don't panic, you have already install TWRPP. At first be sure your microsd card is always on fat32 and get rom and googapps
If ok put your pad off and insert your sd in. Reboot on twrp. To see your sd card hit install, on the high of the screen you can see "choose a zip to install", above hit on "storage internal storage", a new screen will open, select micro sd, your rom and should be here. If you want to remake all wipe before flasing hit the back arrow in the hight right corner. Hit Wipe on the menu, select partitions to wipe, hit all except micro sd and external (of course). Install rom and gapps, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot. I try it this day on twrp 2.6.3.10, i don't remenber for 2.6.3.0, but the way is the same. Good luck

Thanks for the reply.
I had 3 hrs on it yesterday before your reply and got nowhere so decided to give it a break last night..!
I appreciate your help with this and will attempt to follow your instructions tonight after work. Are you saying that I should disregard the driver issue as you think I am connected to TWRP ok?
Thanks again

Yes, that the way i try first, if you can boot on TWRP there'snt any reason to reflash it !

To jh1969
I followed your instuctions......perfect, I don't think I would have figured it without your help. My micro sd card was formatted in NTFS...! Did format to fat32 and things started to work. Started form the beginning again and now I have it working again....!
I did a back up using Titanium (Apps+data) to the micro sd before I screwed it all up, just got to figure out how to restore that then things will be a lot better. Any idea how I get Gmail back ?
Thanks again for your help.

Figured out my Gmail problem, found the app on the play store, not sure how I missed it the first time.
Could not figure out Titanium, did try loads of times to restore apps & data but no luck so another late night downloading all the apps one by one and getting them all going.
At least I now have my pad working again but still have some issues to sort out.
I cannot get the camera working, when I try to open it I get " Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped"........I get the response also when I try to open " Gallery "
I have not yet figured out a quick way to look at the Micro SD....on the stock TF101 rom there was an icon you could open up in the bottom left corner but of course that has gone now. Any ideas?
Overall I am very please the way it is performing now, it is much quicker than it was prior to this update so thanks to all for there time for all who have developed these software's/roms etc to enable people like me to enjoy my TF101 and extend its life further. I would like to increase it speed a bit more but I think I had better get any issues sorted before I attempt anything else. I have not put it in its dock yet so will try that later today.
