I didn't see the link to v.1029 but I did see it over at tegratabs. Also you mention in the post over there that flash does not work? does that mean the flash apk from the folio does not work with this build... that would keep me from installing from the 1106 update...
And lastly just to echo so many others, Thanks for your hard work on tracking this stuff down and packaging it up... you have really helped make an unusable device quite awesome.

Sorry, that is from early on when we did not have the flash apk. Maybe I'll add that to a new build if I get a chance. I have been working on getting the next version of zpad which should have flash stock.
You can definitely use flash on zpad if you add it yourself.
Do I need to flash .01 thru .03 and the 1106 or just .03 and the 1106?
Also over at tegra.com board there is a very easy way to flash clockwork onto this badboy, it is the last post in the clockwork thread posted by photonmedia
I think if you use the v.1029 update.zip it has everything... otherwise I did the .3 and then the 1106.. and then just copied the flash apk and ran it to install it.
I am very happy with this so far... very stable
@Rothnic ,
is the v.1029 the same as 1106 update?
thanks

I'm having a problem with the 1106, it is saying that the boot.img is corrupt and wrong crc #? Anyone know what to do?

what steps are you using?
what are you flashing from ?
are you using cwm?
Yes I'm CWM 8, I'm using the install from sdcard then choose update.zip, I choose the one I want. Then it says "assert failed: package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img")
Error in sdcard/update.zip

It sounds like something is messed up with either the update or clockwork. I'd try reapplying clockwork recovery and redownloading the update.zip.

v.1029 is a total package of v.1029 boot.img plus system.img. Zpad Clean 0.3 is just a cleaned up version of this total package.
I only have the 1106 boot.img at the moment that still works with the v.1029 system.img. I am working on getting the whole 1106 firmware.
One option you can do is take the 1106 boot.img and paste it into the update.zip for v.1029 Zpad Clean 0.3.

That is what I tried and that is where I get the error that it is corrupt and the bad CRC #(all 0's) using winrar. I am using my work computer and if you know about Altiris it won't even let me use the Altiris Image Explorer on it the boot.img
hopefully here someone can help me out, anyone got a link to that specific task manager, i cant seem to find it on the market?
Wipe Data/Cache
I'm sure this is obvious to many of you, but what exactly is meant by "you must wipe data/cache"? What specific action do I need to take -- is there a menu option in recovery mode or is this something I need to do from the Settings menu in the TapNTap interface?

in clockworkmod recovery these are things you do before flashing a new rom.
Got it now, don't know what was going on with it going on my computer to tablet. I just downloaded straight to tablet and moved the zip to the root of the internal sdcard and it worked. Also has anyone ran benchmark with this rom cause I did and its not very good 525. Anymore possible tweaks/lag fix coming?

i think that has to do with the drivers being young - the tegra2 hardware is really new. the only other rom that is "fast" is cyanogenmod and i don't think it will bench much higher.

That shouldn't be a quadrant score. Those tend to be in the 1800+ range.
1106
Sorry for the Noob question but how exactly to I "flash" the 1106 boot.img file? I've successfully installed the v.03 update and everything's fine except the time/date resets on reboot. Just can't seem to figure out how to do the next step
Also, has anyone tried the Subsonic app? Can't get it to work on this version although it did work on TnT Lite. It's the best app I've seen so far for streaming music from my home server, both home and away on all our devices (iTouch, DX, and now Gtab.)
I do appreciate the hard work everyone on these forums has provided with customizing this tab and helping with problems. Man this tablet would be 100x better if some of the folks on this forum and the tegra forum were involved in getting this tab developed. Here's hoping that Viewsonic provides us with a decent firmware update.

WARNING: THIS WILL WIPE /DATA! All of your data will be erased!
So the first thing I did when I got home from work is root my Thunderbolt and create a backup of a fresh wipe of Thunderbolt stock.
First off:
Android OS: 2.2.1
Device: mecha
ROM Name: 1.12.605.6
Rooted (Unsecured boot.img): Yes
Rooted (Superuser.apk + su): Yes
Busybox Installed: Yes
Nano text editor installed: Yes
/system/framework deodexed: Yes
/system/app deodexed: Yes
ROM will wipe data: Yes
Second:
I have tested it does work in its entirety. I had to remove the lines where it flashed boot.img but that is still in the .zip it just doesn't do anything with it since that code in the script it throws errors but without it flashes fine.
Third:
This is completely stock so it does contain the bloat. You can remove it as you see fit using Root explorer or freeze them with titanium backup.

How do we install this Rom? I tried with CW recovery and no luck.
Thanks
I can flash it via CWR but it just hangs at the boot screen and won't go any further... I wish this would work, I just want a factory rooted/deodexed rom without anything removed so I can choose what stays and what goes.

Might wanna try Fastboot for flashing. IE replace the file in the permaroot tutorial with this one. Then skip the root steps as this is already rooted.

so we need to rename it to PG05IMG.zip?
or is there a better way?
Sorry guys for leaving you all hanging. I do have a newer .zip to flash but it doesn't have any of the bloatware (CityID etc) and has some google apps that are on market (Except for quicksearch because it stops the search button from working) to /data/app.
I will upload that later if you like .
Please do. This file is very much appreciated.

I would really like to have the file that is deodexed but still contains everything else... can you reupload that one too?
Both are up now. Enjoy.
gonna try something so nvm
Can someone explain exactly what Deodexed means.

Deodexed in a sense means you can edit and change the files as you like allowing custom figures,images, and animations in place of the stock. It basically allows for people to completely customize rooms to make the run and look as they like. Odexed is completely opposite and you would know a rom is odex because there are .odex files next of ever .apk in the system/app/ folder. You cannot change anything in a odex rom. The completely stock rom is odexed.

My rooted phone crashed the other night - wouldn't boot passed the Galaxy S screen. So I wiped it clean.
When I tried to install a program, the Package Installer was missing from the list of actions.
I flashed back to stock ROM.
It's still not showing up in my actions menu.
When I go to settings/applications/ALL - it shows Package Installer at 0.00B.
What the heck?
Odin back to stock EC05.

I already unrooted and flashed back to stock using these instructions: http://samsungepichacks.com/samsung-epic-hacks/how-to-unroot-samsung-epic-4g/
I will try the method from the website you suggested now though.

Never heard of that website and it keeps timing out on me.
You're better off using the video linked above to Odin back to stock. This will erase all your data, so either start from scratch or back up your apps and whatnot.
Bad news...I followed the instructions from your suggested video.
Put on SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar
Still...the Program Installer doesn't show up on the ACTIONS menu!
It goes Music, then Phone, the gTalk Settings....
Grrrrrrrrrr.
Any other ideas?
So are you trying to side load an application? Meaning you have "Unknown sources" checked under the Settings > Applications menu, and have an apk file to install.
The phone won't install that apk file? Or are you looking for something else to happen when you touch the file on the screen?
If none of the above, then I'm lost at what you're trying to accomplish.
Correct. I'm just trying to load up some apk's that I have on SugarSync/DropBox/SD Card/etc. Unknown Sources is checked.
When I click on the apk - it gives me the action menu. None of those actions is Package Installer. It used to be there, now it isn't. I've loaded all my programs this way in the past.
I tried Odin again and put on the EC05 tar file. Same result. No Package Installer listed in the actions menu.
Man, I just don't know. This is my first time reading of such a problem on the Epic forum.
Using Odin and that tar file gives you 100% stock Froyo. You can then install apk files once the "unknown sources" option is selected.
Did you re-install any other applications after using Odin or restore your data? That could be your culprit, which would mean you'd have to start from scratch (aka clean install).
Starting from total scratch.
It's a mystery.
The only thing I installed was SugarSync so that I could get to the files.
I even tried downloading ASTRO File Manager and using their installer that shows up on the actions menu. That used to work to install...but it doesn't anymore. It just sticks.
I guess maybe I need to go to the Sprint Store. Good thing I flashed her

Same Problem
I just bought the Motorola Triumph for Virgin Mobile and I have the same problem. Well a similar problem. I went to see if there was an OTA update and it says "Install Package not found". So I went to the All list of applications and my Package Installed is 0.00 also. I did notice that a lot of other system apps are 0.00 also. Here's the list of them:
Account and Sync Settings
Activation Utility Service
Aging Test
Android Live Wallpapers
Android System
Battery Parameter Upgrade
BlueToothTestMode
BTtools
CDASYS
Certificate Installer
DbgCfgTool
E-Compass Calibration
Env_Runin_Vibrator_Tool

FQC Program
G-Sensor Calibration
GasGaugeLogging
Gps Deleter
Home screen tips

Magic Smoke Wallpaper
Media Container Service
Package Installer
Pico TTS
SD Card test
SIM Toolkit
Sound Recorder
System Update
Terminal Emulator
TTS Service
Voice Dialer
VPN Services
Wifi Comman
Wifi Test
It's a pretty extensive list. I did root it, but I know I had the update problem before I rooted it so I don't think that did anything to it. Hopefully we can figure out why they are messed up for both of our sakes. Thanks!

Wow man... I'm glad you were able to assist the people affected, but the attitude/negative tone is unnecessary. I just saw the post requesting me [or anyone for that matter] to share the files.
I stated that using Odin to go back to stock may be best. He/She was discussing a problem with what many would consider a core function, being able to install an application. Finally, CWM often gives bad flashes, so in my mind it appeared to be a logical suggestion to start with 100% stock and work from there to find the culprit.
I did not share the APK files because I got busy, forgot about the post and missed the request.

Clean install Rom is to eliminate strange bugs for some people
1.Re-flash Stock SE eclair using PCCompanion Here
2. Re-Root your x8 and install xrecovery
khartaras said:
Rooting
This is very simple to do, really.
First, download SuperOneClick (thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682) and place it on your desktop.
And SE X8 Driver Here Thank's to treebill
Next, on your phone, go to Settings -> Applications and enable Unknown Sources. Next, go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and enable USB debugging.
You also need the proper USB drivers. To check if you have them, start SuperOneClick.exe and click Driver Check. If the driver check fails, update your phone with PC Companion.
Now, connect your USB cable from your X8 to your computer. When connected it is VERY IMPORTANT to select CHARGE PHONE. Really, I can't stress this enough.
Start SuperOneClick.exe and just click ROOT. Everything should go normally. You might get a message asking you if your OS is 2.0 or higher, just go ahead and click Yes.
You should now be rooted!
xRecovery
YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO DO THIS
Installing xRecovery is the first step in the world of custom ROMs. Installing xRecovery also means if you are stuck in a bootloop, you can just recover to a working backup.
The first step is to download xRecovery mini-beta 0.1 (any other version WILL NOT work on your X8) (download HERE: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8AJTKDTQ).
Next, download Root Explorer (download HERE: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LGC110EX).
Copy both the xRecovery folder and the Root Explorer .apk to your SD card.
Install any file manager from the Android Market (I recommend OI File Manager or Astro) and use it to browse to the Root Explorer .apk file and install it.
Run Root Explorer, browse to the xRecovery folder and copy the 3 files inside onto the /system/bin folder.
xRecovery is installed. To start xRecovery you press the Back button while the Sony Ericsson logo is showing during boot. Restart your phone and just keep pressing the Back button.
To move around in xRecovery you use the volume buttons, to select an item you press the Home button (the middle one), and to go back you press the Back button. Go ahead and make a backup of your current system (make sure you have at least 300MB of free space on your SD card.
You'll find the backup you just made in the xRecovery/backup folder. Name it something you can identify (don't use spaces). Copy that backup onto somewhere safe on your PC

Android 2.2, a great upgrade if you are still using the 2.1 stock eclair. its also one of the most famous roms so if you have any problem lot of people are here to help you fix it. its best described as a daily usable android 2.2 Rom

2.Hackdroid: A decent rom, flashy and stylish, sometimes laggy. but overall a very good room. great for starters, however many people stated this one to be a little unstable , but it really depends on what apps you run if you are looking for a good looking rom with visual features this one is a pretty good choice
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
3.KuyaDroid: This one is an awesome rom, solid and stable, fast performance smooth menu and everything is decent. Its a good rom if your into gaming as it has built in Overclock, Undervolt, and gesture.(note these features can be manually added on other roms too). One more noticable thing about this rom is that it's core is cm7, and android version 2.3( a big update from the stock 2.1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109563
4.GingerDX: This is A cm6 - cm7 update of the Famous Froyobread, So far its fast and stable although a few bugs have been reported but its one of the most stable and working cm7 , android 2.3 roms around. its definitely worth a try if you want a fast and smooth working rom. also it has some pretty good features more than most roms out there to exact. Many people state this is the best Cm7 rom out there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486
5.BehradGH: this one is a light and simple rom, not a bad choice for newbies but it does not have as much customizable features as the other roms, its a good rom for starters,, so if your looking for a simple rom and an upgrade from your stock rom you should try this one

then as i installed xRecovery made a backup, tried installing a rom and didn't work, i had forgotten the xxx15 baseband and kernel thing, i went and made the changes following some posts in this section and a flashtool in the x10mini section of this forum, after finished i could see the change in baseband, although i'm not so sure about the kernel (says 2.6.29 and the post said "Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6"), and now xRecovery doesn't log on when i reboot my phone.
to make things more frustrating my pc is running ubuntu and all the "easy" ways to do this and the executables are made for windows... reducing my time to deal with
i'd appreciate any help on this...
I was using HTC devices for some time and using the ultimate online theme kitchen with it. It seems that this kitchen also works with touchwiz UI roms. Some people in the custom ROMs section sounded surprised so I figure I would post this tutorial
MAKE A BACKUP VIA CWM PRIOR TO FLASHING ANYTHING
Download the ROM you want to MOD and extract all the files somewhere on your computer maybe a new folder or something
Then via your computer goto
http://uot.dakra.lt/
Select File upload and then system files as seen by the screenshot below. You will need to upload the following
framework-res.apk (in the folder with the extracted files from the ROM should be under \system\framework)
SystemUI.apk (in the folder with the extracted files from the ROM should be under \system\app)
twframework-res.apk (in the folder with the extracted files from the ROM should be under \system\framework)
IF USING AN ICS ROM SELECT FLASHABLE ZIP AND CHANGE IT TO EMMC (I have only tested battery mod)

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
One the files are finished uploading select from the available MODs (I HAVE ONLY TESTED THE FONT,BATTERY and WINDOW (animations) MODs ON GINGERBREAD NOT THE REST SO TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK)
• Battery
• Icons
• Status bar
• Popup
• Lockscreen
• Window
• Fonts
• Bootanimation
And select use this MOD as seen below.
Select what you want and once done select Summary and make sure all the mods show in green. If not most likely you forgot something. Once done click Submit work to kitchen as per screenshot
Once selected you will be given an Order number like UOT-08-31-21-07-1 or something. Write this down as it can take a while for the file to be made.
Once in a while you can go back to
http://uot.dakra.lt/pickup/
To see if your file is ready. If your browser cached the info it should show your file when ready under
Your recently cooked files
If your browser didn’t cache the info then you can select
Show all pickup files
And simply look for your Order number.
Once your file is ready simply download it (I suggest re-naming it as well to something you may recognize) and put it on the Internal SD of your Samsung.
Boot in recovery and make sure to wipe cache and dalvik-cache prior to flashing it
Hope this helps some people
UOT kitchen is great.
The only thing that wont work on the SGS2 is the lockscreen as we dont have the stock one, I have used almost all the other mods (apart from the screen transitions, and for boot animations I always forgot which location was the correct one)
Nice guide
btw: if you are cooking themes for CM7/T mobile theme engine, make sure to untick generate preview as if you leave it ticked the themes wont work.
Used the kitchen back on my Desire when I had it
Now I use Revolution rom on my SGS2
Is this for all roms? Stock or custom? Odexed or deoxed?
Thanks

Not too sure if all roms but using it on batista rom with no issues
Best bet is to back up before flashing. Worst case you get stuck in boot loop and have to restore
I've used it successfully for battery icon on Leomar V2.6. I'm not sure but I think the cooked zip file updater script does a cache and Dalvik wipe as part of the install, meaning that doing it beforehand is rather pointless.
As always, nandroid first!

In How-To section of the kitchen it says
9. Wipe cache and dalvik-cache (just in case). Do not wipe data / factory reset.
So I have always done it cant hurt anyways even if done 2 times

Could be a bad download simply or the file didn't get made correctly. I would recommend to re upload the files and reselect your mods and attempt to cook a new zip.
Never had this issue as of yet with this kitchen
BTW recovery 4.0.1.5 is available for use via Rom Manager you may want to update it as well
This is truly awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah I second the above comment. I have never tried anything like this before so I was really surprised how easy it was. Thanks for posting this.

Glad I could help fellow users
Also I recommend people create new zip for any new rom even different versions within the same rom.
Upgraded yesterday and tried using the old one I made but got a boot loop so it's safer to make new ones for each rom since frameworks can change
Hello everyone, so I developed a small application called Desktop Flasher. All you need to do is drag the zip you want to flash and it'll automatically push it to your phone, write the appropriate script, and reboot you into recovery, and perform the flashing procedure. I hope to add new features (wireless support) as time goes on. Try it out and tell me what you think

FAQ
I get a failed to push script/or during the first run program it can't detect my device in recovery mode!
You probably don't have the drivers installed for adb in recovery mode. It's easy though! Follow this quick guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
Okay, so the program says "Great your Phone will do the rest" and my phone reboots into recovery, but nothing happens...wth??
Most likely the issue is that you're using a recovery that doesn't support openrecoveryscripting. (The official version of CWM and TWRP do)
How to connect device ? ... is debug mode?

Yes, just make sure USB debugging is on, and your drivers are already installed.

Cool. Yeah this should work on any device, I and any recovery with Openscript available (TWRP and CWM). I haven't tested cwm but I can confirm that it works on TWRP.

Alright, I think I figured it out. Does the location you're dropping from or the zip itself happen to have any "spaces" in the name? E.X. D:\documents\my rom\rom.zip
the zip definitely not,
but I look at folder on pc tomorrow,
now it's off already
will report then

Alright Cool.
Released a new update, it'll fix possible flash errors in recovery.
jup, it was the spaces in the zip :good:
but now it shows: Failed to push Script
the files are copied to phone correctly

Okay, I just released an update that'll fix it. To update the program just open it, then hit the exit button, and it'll update. The problem was with some devices you can't push to /cache unless you're in recovery. When I'm running sense it works fine, but whenever I switch to AOSP, I would run into that issue. Fixed now
I used the new one v1.1
sorry, I just saw there's a 1.2
will try it again

I just tried it with the new 1.2,
but unfortunately it booted into recovery without doing anything else,
it´s like I would boot into recovery manually
then after a few seconds it pops up again: Failed to push Script :crying: :crying: :crying:

Hmmm...alright. Lol thanks for being my only dignified tester haha. Okay, can you do me a favor. Download the zip I attached to this post, and run the recovery.bat file. (It'll reboot your device into recovery and attempt to push a file to your cache after a 25 second delay) and can you tell me the output. (Whether it pushes or gives a permission error) Thanks.
no problem m8,
I'm lucky to test a tool which helps me later
I'll test it later, bcs I have to watch a horror movie right now,
