Root Rooted - now can root again

I have a G Tablet. I installed clockworkmod and cyan 6.1 according to this site:
Viewsonic G Tablet: Full Update Guide - CyanogenMod Wiki

When I tried to install the Google Apps addon I kept getting an error, so I thought that redoing things would be a good idea.. so I set the system back to the sys defaults using the Viewsonic ROM.

Now when I try and run z4root I get an error that apps that aren't downloaded from the android market can't open. I know there is a check box to allow this to happen; however the option isnt there anymore. Strange.

I tried to re-install clockworkmod (which doesnt work anymore to boot from either) but I can't copy update.zip and recovery to the root of the device memory (probalby cuz its not rooted?)

I like the viewsonic stock os, but the market sucks.

HELP - PLEASE. I just want a good working tablet that can get on the android market.
 
I ran the internal system restore in the viewsonic app and now I am able to z4root it, and am able to install clockworkmod. Whew I thought I had a brick on my hands.

If anyone can tell me how to get access to the android market with cyanogen 6.1 would be great!

IMO, I wouldn't run CM 6.1 because it's not supported anymore. If you notice the thread, it says it's retired. I would install a different ROM if I were you. Most of the other ROMS already have the market pre-installed. Here's the list of stable ROMS to choose from.

Thanks - I read a bunch of threads on a couple of sites - this is the first I heard it was retired... I did get it up and running with the market. Ill try a few others! Thanks thanks thanks.
