I tried this tonight to try to get my gTablet back to stock so that I could show people how to install CWM on a video but I could get neither of my Windows 7 64-bit computers to recognize the APX .inf that was included in the pack.

I have a linux machine around here somewhere I may have to use...
Phone: Sprint Samsung Galaxy SII Stock OS
Tablet: Viewsonic G-Tablet gTabComb

My limited experience with 64-bit Win7 -- the drivers have to be signed, or else they won't work. There's a way to disable that on boot, but you can't permanently disable it. I'm wondering if the APX USB driver is signed?

Open a command prompt as an admin and type

bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

This is the only way.. dont worry if the test watermark shows up.. it wont affect anything.

Also... They have a x64 driver - read this

Hi there,

I exchanged for a new Gtab yesterday from sears (as it had some power issues).

Today, I tried TnT 2.2 on my rooted tab (Z4 for rooting). Also have ClockworkMod .8.

I partitioned my internal SDCard. But after vanilla restore, I could find my tab space reduced to 4 gigs. What should I do to restore to full 16 gigs(14+ gigs actually).
================================================== ================================================== ========================
2. I followed your instrction and partitioned again in clockworkMod and did 4 gigs and 0 in the second one. Now it shows 11 gigs for data and 4 gigs for system.

Now I inserted an external micro SD card (16 gigs) but my storage is not seeing it. What should i do? Ignore my first part please.

You only have 16gb to start. Partitioning you internal to 4gb uses part of that. I would go back and only use 2gb, and 0 for swap. There are things, like the new market that break with anything but 2gb.
If you mean the settings menu is not showing your external sd card that's normal. Look in a file explorer program in the / directory. Look for SDcard2. That is your external. Same deal, look for usbdisk if you plug in a usb drive.

also this could be helpful to Ubuntu/linux users.

in the same directory where your flash script is there is a file that is called "gtablet.cfg" if you download the clockwork.img recovery and put it in this directory you can open up the "gtablet.cfg" with a text editor

scroll down to where you see "filename=part9.img" and replace "part9" with "clockwork" and it should now read "filename=clockwork.img" this will flash clockwork and save you a step. To change it back so you flash complete stock just edit the file again and reverse it.

You don't even have to do that - you can just rename part9.img to something else, and clockworkmod.img to "part9.img". That's actually what I do.

Yeah I thought about that, but figured some people might get confused and forget which one was which. Either way works as well just as long as you keep both files. You should edit your original post and add that in as an option to do at the end. It will keep some from having to look through and creating a new post cause they can't find it, and keep our forums clean.

This should definitely be stickied. Mods please?

P.S. I cannot believe how awesome this forum is(Viewsonic G Tablet). I have gone to other forums and the other devs and users are not as friendly and awesome as the ones we have here. Almost brings a tear to my eye. Great job Roebeet, this should help us noobs out a lot. LOL!
