Install Android Honeycomb on Viewsonic G Tablet

Recently the Wifi of my Viewsonic G Tablet, in which Tnt Lite 4.2.0 was installed, can't be enabled. It just likes the typical Wifi errors reported in the web. I thought it may be related to OS, and so decided to install the latest Android Honeycomb.

Thanks to roebeet in slatedroid.com, I just followed the instructions in


and


Android Honeycomb alpha was successfully installed. The procedures are basically two steps:
  1. Use nvflash to update image to 1.2; including with APX mode (power button + volume down), downloading USB driver, and flashing image;
  2. Update image with Honeycomb Alpha from http://www.mediafire.com/?mftq46bwi5srbv0. Put the update.zip in sdcard with the recovery mode (power button + volume up).
There are excellent video clips in youtube show the procedures:
However, my Wifi problem still remains. I opened the G Tablet following
and did not see the Wifi connection is loosed. So I still believe it is a software problem. Am I right?

You ever get the wifi problem fixed? Ever try anything like CM7 since they are pretty stable? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Main_Page

Another site I really liked was Viewsonic Gtablet for Dummies, ton of info there:

Hope you get it resolved.

Thank you very much. I still have no luck for wifi. Perhaps I should call customer service.

Finally I sent my device to the G Tablet support "US Merchants, 8737 Wilshire Blvd Beverly Hills, CA 90211" for repairing. They will fix WIFI for me.
