Hi everybody, I got my viewsonic 10.1 inch gtablet which I ordered from Woot! today.
When I got it, I fully charged it, turned it on, plugged it in and rooted it with TnT Lite
(this was the process I used).
How To – ViewSonic G-Tablet – Full Market Access – droidpirate.com
It worked perfectly for about 3 hours, then one minute the android browser crashed and wouldn't reopen. I thought rebooting was the best option, so I turned it off and back on again. Now here is the problem. Every time I turn it on it will boot to show the Viewsonic page, then the gtablet page which you see every time you start it. The problem is that after the gtablet page it restarts and loads the Viewsonic one again. It will not turn on in any usable form. I understand that rooting voids the warranty (crap), and I am really hoping someone here will know how to fix it.
The only positive I can think of is that I can't access it via computer because I need to manually select the option to connect the USB storage, but I don't know if they will be able to find out I have rooted it if I send it back or not. I'm a poor college student whose laptop broke today (the day I got the tab), and my new shiny internet machine also broke. I'm down to just my iphone at this point and it SUCKS doing everything on a phone. Any help is greatly appreciated, seriously.
Forgive the bad grammar and overly panicked post. I literally spent my lunch money on this thing because I thought it would be a neat gadget. Now I'm hungry, poor, and freaking out.
edit: Forgot to mention, I downloaded the ROM on the internal memory as I did not yet have an SD card. I saw something on another site (not sure if it is against the rules to post that here though), and they said you could install something on a microSD card (nvflash I think?) but I don't know if that would conflict with the internal recovery file or anything from when I did the root.
