[Nook Touch General] wajanus:
Thanks.

As far as 6 goes, I saw it on a few forums on the 'net and it was said to break the boot cycle.

I suppose it's not "completely bricked" but I've spent so long with it, trying to get it to work that I'm really, about to ready to throw it away.

I'll try the original guide, hopefully that will trigger it.

It's a 1.0.0, I got it a week after it came out (and it's been bricked since the first TouchNooter came out).

Also, how should I try to do the 8 failed boot recovery? Half the time, it's hard to tell if it's booting, or if it's turned off o.o the only difference I saw is when the Nook is plugged in. Any ideas?
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
First you need to check whether long pressing power will reboot or just power down you Nook. From my experience a unit that "hangs" on boot will power down when the power button is pressed for at least 10 seconds, while a successfully booted unit will simply reboot.

The following is based on my experience with "hung" units:

Prereqs:

- No USB cable attached (not even charger!)

- No SD Card inserted

Steps:

1: 12 second press (to be sure) for power down

- most likely you'll see no change in the screen!

2: Wait 5 seconds for Nook to settle

3: Press power for 4 seconds to turn it back on

4: Goto step 1 as soon as you see the screen flicker!

- Do not wait for boot animation, a simple flicker is enough!

Repeat 8 times :)
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
Also, see this thread for a factory restore image
[Nook Touch General] jago25_98:
I wonder, if desperate, whether JTAG could be used.
[Nook Touch General] dhkr234:
It is REALLY too bad that some people are so impatient.

When it says "rooted forever", that does NOT mean that the process has completed. It means that the process has ONLY STARTED. Give it some time.

WAIT.

Wait 20 minutes.

It will complete.

Be patient.

If you have to, pull out the battery from the thing.

Then put in the special sdcard.

Plug the battery back in, plug the charge plug in.

Turn on.

WALK AWAY AND COME BACK TOMORROW.
[Nook Touch General] wajanus:
Sorry, but I wouldn't call myself impatient. I pre-charged my nook to full charge before attempting rooting. I left the Nook alone without restarting it until I realized it may need charging again. It was THEN that I tried to restart it.

"WALK AWAY AND COME BACK TOMORROW" <- Yeah, I did that.

However, I do admit, I was expecting a quicker root/rom flash :) I'm used to my Samsung Vibrant
[Nook Touch General] wajanus:
Will try. Currently, my nook doesn't even turn on -.-
[Nook Touch General] dorino1:
If you can't get it to work, try nookRestore. It basically tricks the nook into thinking you've restarted eight times already.
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
How do you know it's not turning on?
[Nook Touch General] arrrghhh:
Thread moved. Development goes in the development section, questions in the general section. Thanks.
[Nook Touch General] wajanus:
okay, fast forward a few months forward. I did figure out that the nook DOES turn on but it's probably stuck on an infinite loop. I was successful in booting several different "recoveries". There was a tool a few months back that removed root. The "recovery" booted but didn't help.

Since then I tried the new CWR and it booted! I was so excited. I did the whole "factory reset" and deleted all of the caches. Didn't help, the screen still showed "Rooted Forever". I tried to use the "Touch Formatter", unfortunately, that didn't help either. I used the TouchNooter again but again, nothing happened.

Any suggestions? I haven't seen a "stock" image or anything like that to boot into anywhere.
[Nook Touch General] mali100:
If your partitions are still intact and you haven't overwritten your rom-partition by writing a touchnooter or cwm img-file directly to the nook you could try the following:

-Create a sd-card with cwm,

-download nook_1_1_update_cwm.zip from http://code.google.com/p/nst-recovery/downloads/list and copy it to the sd

-boot into cwm

-use the install zip from sd-card function to apply the update.

The nook_1_1_update_cwm.zip contains the original update to 1.1, it is just repacked to be usable with cwm. That means, if you want root, you have to root afterwards.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
The nook_1_1_update.zip that you get directly from Barnes & Noble is a standard zip file with with a signature attached to the beginning. You can strip off the first 0x1A8 (424) bytes and open it with any unzipper.
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
I actually found 7-zip can open it without having to do anything to the zip first.
[Nook Touch General] wajanus:
you guys are AMAZING! I couldn't find the 1.1 anywhere. I'm downloading it and installing it later on today. Will update on progress :)
[Nook Touch General] SkipWire:
Steps work

Steps 1-4 solved an infinite loop loading problem with Nook Simple Touch (firmware 1.1).
[Nook Touch General] wajanus:
okay, that seems to have helped some. The Nook boots into a "Read Forever" with a "starting up" thing on the bottom (basically the way stock looks) instead of "Rooted Forever" but it seems like it's in a bootloop, stays on the same screen and never progresses. I'm going to try the n2T to trigger a factory reset. Hopefully, that'll work :/
[Nook Touch General] wajanus:
n2t did not work. Not sure what to do next.
[Nook Touch General] GabrialDestruir:
If not even N2T worked it sounds like you screwed with the partitions somehow. Probably by not following directions or something, and trying to flash a nooter or noogie or something directly onto the device and trashing the first few partitions on the device. What exactly happens when you try to boot it without the SDcard?
[HTC EVO 3D] Gordon9898:
I have an unlocked Rogers HTC EVO 3D. When I try to select my wcdma carrier Mobilicity I am unable as under network operators it only shows CDN Roaming, Bell and Telus

Is there a way to add a network operator on this phone or to edit one of the existing N.A.s?

I would really appreciate some insight an any suggestions on how to fix this. No matter what settings I use on this phone it nevers shows the mobilicity selection
[HTC EVO 3D] spectralblue:
It may be because the networks are incompatible.
[Xperia Play General] tgh0wnz:
I have the At&t Xperia Play, still completely stock, haven't had bootloader unlocked or installed any custom roms. Not sure if anyone else has been having these issues, I'm trying to figure out if my phone is defective or if the xperia plays have crappy bluetooth or maybe just the stock bluetooth is crap.

Anyways, I use my bluetooth to connect to the car stereo and stream music. The bluetooth on this phone never connects automatically. Sometimes it will connect for phone audio but not for media audio, I always have to go in and adjust it, or turn off bluetooth and turn it back on to get it to connect. Sometimes it just refuses to connect for anything until I turn bluetooth off and back on. My old Samsung Vibrant worked perfect, connected instantly no issues at all, even the Iphone 3gs had no issues and connected instantly. Another thing if/when the phone does connect, it takes awhile to connect, usually at least 30sec to a min before it connects.

Anyone have any suggestions or think the bluetooth radio on the phone may just be defective?

[Focus General] tennyleaz:
This is the 4th day I get the Focus, and just completed the mango update and unlock.

But now I come into a question that I cannot download anything, i.e. mp3, zip, rar files.

I also try the kickbox app for dropbox, but it can't download files too, only can open some documents. Any other android devices can do this thing... :mad:

How can I do with this problem?
[Focus General] momadine:
Actually you can't download anything , You can just open the file if it's openable (If the Windows phone supports it like Mp4 , DOCx , ....etc).
[Focus General] Wonderbreadguy:
This would be a great feature, but I'm sure Microsoft would see this as vulnerability, so not likely to be pushed, I was hoping after opening the file hat it would be stored temp, or cached somewhere but after hours of looking through files, no luck
[Focus General] vwforums:
Hi, I've tried to update the Samsung Focus drivers on Mango (still stuck on 2103.10.10.1) but everything I've tried failed. I get an error saying "Two or more packages in the update contain the same file" when I try to force update. The samfirmware haven't worked either. Consequently, even though I am on Mango, I can't add hidden WiFis :( Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Focus General] vwforums:
Forgot to mention that I had debranded the phone from AT&T way back when to get NoDo. Thanks again.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
DJ Steve ported CWM 4.0.1.4 with the release of 507.

Requirements:

Stock 5xx based rom [Honeystreak is not supported!]

Ability to enter fastboot mode: Fastboot+ADB.zip

Battery with 60% or greater charge

Basic understanding of the command line

Install Instructions:

Download recovery.img

flash the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Finished

Credits:

DJ_Steve for porting it

Koush for creating clockwork mod

I take no credit beyond this basic guide

Notice:

The Streak 7 with HC might now detect the driver properly, if it doesnt you must force install it using the "Android ADB Interface" from the list of available drivers

Will not work on 2.2.x, you must use CWM 3.0 for that.

Do not attempt to wipe data from within CWM, it will likely case a boot loop afterwards.
[Dell Streak 7] ssmr2t:
Thank you!!

Can I just push this recovery to my recovery partition within 3.2?

Im having issues having my PC at work recognize the fastboot device, and installing the drivers.

I am on xp..

TIA!
[Dell Streak 7] medseven:
'error: cannot load 'recovery.img'

I got fastboot going fine, commands like 'fastboot reboot' are working.

However just above when I use your line to flash recovery, any ideas on what it might be!?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Uploaded new version of fastboot+adb.zip hopefully it has the correct IDs so you dont have to force install it.

Are you sure you downloaded the image correctly, and did you name it correctly when using fastboot
[Dell Streak 7] medseven:
Yeah I was making a repeated typo when pointing fastboot to the recovery but its all working now, thanks a lot.

Clockwork mod (cool blue writing) and rooted all within a few days, good work and thanks to all involved.
[Dell Streak 7] dblml320:
FWIW I tried this on the T-MO stock 2.2.2 ROM. The install went fine, I copied S7-4.0.1.4.img to recovery.img and ran the fastboot command with no problems.

I power up the Dell Streak 7 while holding power and the up volume key, and get the menu as expected. I Select "Software Upgrade via update.pkg on SD Card", and the message "Booting recovery kernel image" is displayed.

At this point the machine seems to be frozen. I can reset with a paper clip, and reboot the machine into 2.2.2 just fine, but if I cannot resolve why it does not show the clockwordmod menu, then I guess it is back to NVFLASH.

So what am I doing wrong? do I need an SD card in the device with an update.pkg on the card? Or is there something else?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Oh that was a strong possibility.

CWM 4.0 uses the 507 kernel as a base. 507 will not boot without updating the bootloaders.

So that means CWM 4.0 wouldnt be able to boot unless you had 50x installed.
[Dell Streak 7] dblml320:
Probably a good idea then to remove that "Assumed to work on 2.2.2" phrase then from your first append.

So I guess it is NVFLASH time ... Or could I somehow flash back only the original recovery.img using fastboot somehow?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Post updated, i needed someone to actually confirm that it didnt work as i dont have access to a s7
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
I posted over at TabletRoms yesterday that the new recovery did not work with Froyo 2.2.2.

To answer your question, all you have to do is fastboot flash the old CWM recovery, version 3xx something I think it is.
[Dell Streak 7] geekogenius:
"waiting for device " and nothing happen !!! :( what should i do? i can not install driver using files in : Fastboot+ADB\Win32\Streak 5+Streak 7+Venue\Win7 !:(
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Like he said if you flashed it on a s7 that's still on 2.2.x just reflash with the CWM 3.0 one and that one will work fine on 2.2.x
[Dell Streak 7] thesmacker11:
Is there another way to root stock 3.2?

I am getting this error in fastboot...

"Flashing StorMgr partition recovery

Read after write verify partition recovery"
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Not the stock one, as no other rooting tools work on it.

Ways to get around it include: using a pre-rooted rom or using a custom rom (which are normally pre-rooted)

Something may be wrong with your device/install if that is coming up. Or possibly your download was bad, try re-downloading it.
[Dell Streak 7] thesmacker11:
I tried re-downloading didn't work, I have stock rom, I don't think I can install a custom or pre-rooted rom without installing CWM?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
You can with nvflash, as honeystreak is ment to be installed with nvflash then updated with the bundled CWM, which is prerooted

Whichever method you decide is up to you, as I cannot formally recommend that one method is better then the other.
[Dell Streak 7] thesmacker11:
Well just as an update I tried this on a windows xp, windows 7 32bit, windows 7 64bit computer, and redownloaded that file each time and it still does the same thing on my device.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
It's likely your device itself that's the issue then, I cant be more specific as I dont own a S7
[Dell Streak 7] bsoplinger:
I'm not sure if I should be asking questions here or over in another forum. Figure I'll start here...

I was sorely missing app2sd in honeycomb so went to use and install Link2SD figuring I'd use that. But it doesn't seem to see the second partition I've made on my SDHC card. I can mount the card on Mac OS and Linux and both mount the two partitions on the card so I feel pretty sure I formatted the card correctly. I saw some comment about a change in the way CW mounts things and it causing troubles in the Link2SD thread but I don't understand enough about the magic of Android and how it mounts discs, although I know it had Linux roots, so the comments in that thread weren't clear to me what I can do to get Link2SD working or for that matter even start to gather info to try to figure out what's wrong. Can anyone help me out or point me to a thread that can get me started in figuring out what's going wrong?
[Dell Streak 7] rvdangel630:
ok so i installed the drivers for fastboot and i can enter fast boot , but how can i push the file? soory im a newb with the streak.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
I dunno how you installed your drivers so I can't be that specific, but I installed the Android SDK so I have that folder in the root of my C: drive, so your command may look different

you open a command prompt with admin privileges... you should already have note of where your recovery.img files is on your computer, for ease I would suggest on the root of C:, so your command would look something like this

cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools [hit ENTER] now my files are in the tools folder of my AndroidSDK files, thus my command is the way it is

Next you simply type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [hit ENTER] if everything is as it should be, files in correct folder and drivers installed correctly, you should see it pushing the file to the Streak in about 5 or 6 seconds and when it tells you it's done, just type:

fastboot reboot [hit ENTER] and it will reboot, very easy stuff
[Dell Streak 7] rvdangel630:
thanks got it
[Dell Streak 7] daniel3334:
anyone have a suggestion to this problem? i plug my streak in and adb finds it when i use adb. but when i go to flash with fastboot cmd just says waiting for device. and yes i do have it in fastboot mode. if i enter fastoot devices it doesnt come back with any #. but abd does. windows recognizes the android adb interface device. i try to update the driver jut to make sure i didnt mess up when putting it in the sdk but windows always says its up to date. so that had to be done correct. is there a different combo for getting it recognized? ive booted it into fastboot then plugged in the usb. every different combo i can think of to get this recovery flashed. i appreciate any help!!
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Hmmm, very interesting because in theory if you are able to use adb then you in theory have the correct drivers...

another observation, if it's coming up saying the drivers are up to date then you are doing the automatic lookup for the correct drivers, which you shouldn't do, you should be choosing WHICH driver to install... in theory all 3 that show up should work (Android Bootloader Interface, Android ADB Device and Android Composite ADB Interface... I think I got those right) but anyway, the one I always make sure I pick for it to install is the 3rd one because if you look at the dates of the drivers, it's the latest one

So what I would suggest is that you boot up your S7, connect it to the computer, go into device manager and uninstall the device from the device manager AND the software... then disconnect the S7, shutdown the computer and reboot... when you boot back up and connect to the PC again, make sure to stop the driver install, open up the device manager and CHOOSE which driver to install, DON'T let your computer decide because it may not be the one you need
[Dell Streak 7] daniel3334:
Ok I'll give that a shot. As far as the up to date driver message, I get that while manually doing update. And then sometimes it will say windows found the driver you specified, then on down it say system cannot find the file specified. That's contradictory as hell. I'm gonna uninstall everything and if there are problems still, I'll copy and paste that while message from my laptop.also should device manager see it as a Android phone and portable device at the same time? I truly appreciate you taking the time to offer the help that you have me!!
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Well I'd like to know which driver you're using... as I said, in theory they should all let you use fastboot commands. But the one I have the least trouble out of is the newest one like I mentioned which is the compostite ADB interface, the one with the longest name... if you have been using that one, that's why I mentioned uninstalling the driver and the software, rebooting and then installing the driver fresh..

and yeah, in Honeycomb there isn't support to use your tablet as a USB mass storage device at the moment (which really really sucks) because data transfer is slow as Xmas as a portable media device and you can't sync with it either. I keep a folder on my D: that's a backup of my SD cards and I use the ROBOCOPY commands from the command prompt, but that's no longer possible in Honeycomb... so yeah, your computer will see it as an android phone AND a portable media device at the same time in your device manager, there is no way to set it up as a mass storage device as of yet (that I know of) and if there is someone PLEASE correct me and post the info, we'd all love to know I'm sure
[Dell Streak 7] daniel3334:
im reinstalling everything now. but with honeycomb, the streak7 auto mountsunlike froyo where you to manually mount. when you plug into usb look under computer. it willshow as two seperate disks. your 16 gig internal and if you have an sdhc plugged in it will show as second drive. but it mounts this wayso you can copy files to the streak and still access all your apps and storage on thedevice itself. give it a try its so much better now!!

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

oh yeah i do get the three options above, but thats when i was getting those messages.hell i probably screwed up somewhere. i have everything ready again but i cant seem to find the link to the replacement drivers anywhere! damn i shouldnt have deleted them, but i wantedto start over all the way fresh.

Will not boot to CWM

Ok, the S7 is not my first android device, or the first I have installed CWM on. I have followed the instructions here, they seem to work, however the S7 will not boot to CWM when I hold Vol UP + Pwr. It boots to the stock recovery.

Where should I start troubleshooting this?

Russ
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
That's correct, you begin in the stock GUI, but once you choose option 2,3 or 4 it takes you to the CWM... if it doesn't then you need to flash CWM again... if you flashed HoneyStreak R2-R7 and can't get into CWM, then you have something wrong with your Streak or your download
[Dell Streak 7] kd8fre:
Thanks! You were correct, all is good, and the S7 is now rooted.

Russ
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Hey fellas, have any of you tried to a nandroid backup and restore with the new honeycomb release.

When running HoneyStreak, a nandroid restore would prompt the password to boot into Android and so I had to NVFlash to get back to stock and start all over again. SO just wondering if the problem has been resolved before I start tinkering too much
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
The nandroid part might be completely untested, I only know that the zip flashing part is safe and the data wiping part is NOT safe
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Well I can comment that flashing with the zip doesn't do as well as flashing with the update.pkg like we spoke of the other day... I'm in the process of eliminating as much bloatware as possible. So yesterday I was getting some system ui force closes and gapps force closes, I flashed the update.zip, and just as with the Streak 5, all my data and apps were still there because I was scared to wipe data. So to get rid of the force closes I had to flash with the update.pkg, and THAT DID wipe all my data and I had to start over. SO now I think I've got everything uninstalled that I can, but I wanna try a couple of more, BUT I wanted to do a nandroid so I could get back to where I am now without losing all my info by having to flash the update.pkg.

But if it's untested I guess I'll have to wait.

edit: The GPS has suddenly begun to lock on but it is taking much longer than before the HC update. I'm glad! (posted 4 hours after original post)

Thanks for you informative and helpful guides to installing CWM and the HC update, along with how to Root. You made it easy.

Problem: Since updating to the new HC rom I've lost GPS altogether, I used the 4.0.1.4 CWM to Root after using the earlier CWM iteration to flash HC this morning. I have the t-Mobile Streak 7 inch 4G. (used Stock-506-US4G.zip)

I bought this Streak yesterday and it came with 2.2, the GPS locked on almost immediately and was extremely accurate. I didn't test the GPS after initially installing HC this morning using the other CWM, not 4.01. GPS is a must for me as I will use the tablet for Flying and other GPS required apps.

I've been rooting and flashing ROMs on an Evo for over a year so I have a small bit of experience doing this, I am definitely Rooted. Could this be a Kernel problem? Lack of GPS?

Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks to all in advance.
