Flashing the Viewsonic GTablet with VEGAn ROM and fixing the Market
Sean Cullinan By Sean Cullinan on 4/19/2011 9:42 AM
One of the company's we partner with at work bought a Gtablet to test some mobile development work we had done so I had to write up instructions on how to flash the tablet with the VEGAn ROM. I figured I'd post what I wrote up here for all to read after the partner said that the instructions were spot on!
