Trouble with SD card 4.0.0 restore.

I think there's been a lot of trouble with this because people are confusing the Nook Color and the Nook TABLET. Please refer to your about device. I'm not 100% sure but I think the Nook Color is BNTV200 and the Tablet is BNTV250. Could someone confirm this?

The 'magic SD' trick will NOT work on the Nook Color.

this may seem stupid, but when i tried the eight failed reboot before it didn't quite work like I anticipated. Pressing power and N buttons simultaneously powered it up once, then it shut off and never booted up again (stayed off). Is there a specific button sequence I missed.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Nooblight:
So followed the instructions and got root with 1.40. Is there a way to update to 1.41 without losing root?

I tried by sideloading 1.41 and it broke root (even removed Market, tgps, but did keep Go Launcher).

Previously I successfully did it with DeanGibson's method, however he doesn't provide a way to block OTA updates. When I tried to apply Indirect's OTA to Dean's root, it broke my Nook (froze TB when restoring devicemanager, then made nook inoperable).

So, my goal is to use Indirect's root but update to 1.41. Is that possible?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sangahm:
The idea is to power ON the nook, then before it can fully boot up, power it OFF. Doing this 8 times in a row will cause a restore on the ninth attempt.

From the instructions here (with edited update for the 1.40 boot screen):

Method one: Eight interrupted Boots

1. Power off the nook.

2. Tap the power button.

3. As soon as Welcome to the future of reading appears, hold the power button down to interrupt the boot process. (I had to wait until as soon as Touch the Future of Reading dissapeared and then start holding down the power button on a brand new nook 1.1.0 (4/6/2011)

Update: The Welcome to the Future is changed to Read Foreveron the NT 1.40, but its the white screen after the initial dark screen with only the small n. (1/16/12)

If the boot animation does not appear, add 1 to your interrupted boot count. (If all you see is the "n" for 1-3 secons, this is ok!)

If the boot animation DOES appear, your interrupted boot count is reset

to zero. Start over.

4. Repeat from step 3 until your failed boot count reaches 9. At this point, the nook will re-flash its /system partition. You will see the process on the right.

Update: Changed count to 9 for Nook Tablet. (1/16/12)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
yea I kinda discribe it a little weird in the video saying hold N and power. I dont know why I do that. Just hold power button and continue to hold. screen will flash on and off. let go of power button. that is one failed boot. Rinse and repeat 8 times total and then let boot on 9th time. Very simple
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Anon9mouz:
I'm no noob but this **** sounds confusing I think ima wait till a package hits with root and recovery all in one lol. I just bought one at school a hour ago but idk if ima open yet or what I'm just trying to research more on getting root and. Recovery and using it like how i do my evo3d that's rooted and so on. I just never been good with adb pushing and stuff like. That. I love the work and. Maybe u can convince me to tAKe ur method and. Just do. It :D TIA

My script is the same as revolutionary in the way that it does almost everything and when recovery is out, it will take care of that too.

From my own personal experience, it seems XP has a way easier time handling the rooting process without much of a hitch. This guide is gold with XP, used an old laptop I had around :D

OK well i guess i can always wait bc i know once recovery is out then roms will fall in place. I wouldn't mind learning foreal maybe work with yalls on something so lmk but guess I will. Keep checking back around these threads thanks a bunch bro
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] WnG88:
Is this still current or has this been deprecated by another process? I've got a NT 16 that I rooted (but still has B&N) back in November using Indirect's method then.

I want to put CM7 on, but the forums are a mess for instructions despite searching and reading god knows how many threads. (Take a noob approach and try it and see...) There isn't a single post that actually walks through the current process of going from open box to CM7 without saying "search the threads cause I don't want to repeat". Most of those threads have been superseded by newer processes (e.g. Indirect's one button app for CWM). There really should be a sticky on the Current process steps from start to finish. I would write it / compile it from the various threads but I just don't have enough of the knowledge. The FAQ thread is great, but that already assumes you're most of the way there.

I have to put CWM on, but also want to remove all the BN stock stuff since I'm already rooted this thread is where I'm at, hence the question in this thread.

Thanks,
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
This app has nothing to do with what you want to approach BUT now that you have CWM you just have to flash CM7 in CWM, but first you have to copy the .zip containing the rom to your external or internal sdcard and then flash it. That will remove any other operative system that was internally installed before. To not lose your apps use Titanium Backup so you restore them back in CM7.

PS: im going to make a video to update the FAQ explaining different scenarios for noobs, i have think about it but i've got busy with other video-tutorials.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] WnG88:
Thanks Veronica,

I actually wrote that when I didn't have CWM yet. I've got CWM internal now and CM7 running internally and all BN stuff is now gone. I did a CWM backup and a Titanium Backup (of all the apps) before the whole process (things were gzipped in the default TI directory), but now in CM7 TI does not see the previous backup and so I can't restore. I'm not sure how I can recover my apps. They're definitely still there in the backup directory. I'm not to familiar with TI though.

I'll look at pulling out the apks from the CWM backup and installing them manually, though getting TI working would have been better. Using the Free version of TI, could that be the issue?

Also, while the external SD is mounting, the internal SD is not mounting. I thought that was fixed in the latest version of CM7?

Thanks,

[LG Thrill 4G] freqsounds:
So i just installed the O3D leaked Rom on my Thrill last night. i noticed this morning that there were 9 apps open. i stopped all, and they were open again within 5 minutes. i froze some of them, but some are apps i use occasionally, but i dont always want them open.

Any ideas on how to keep these apps from opening automatically??
[LG Thrill 4G] lastdeadmouse:
Its just a part of how Linux manages memory. It doesn't necessarily affect performance, but if it makes you feel better, you can install autostarts and disable states at which those apps start.

[LG Thrill 4G] freqsounds:
I checked that out and I'm kind of scared to turn some of these off. My main reason for wanting to cut these off is because the battery is dead in 4 hours. This started happening after the gb update. Do you have any suggestions to increase batt life? I already have gps and bt disabled.
[LG Thrill 4G] lastdeadmouse:
Juice defender for one. Instead of a task killer, use autokiller and use one of the presets like aggressive. Autostarts again, sort by app, and disable all of the crap for all events. Turn wifi sleep to when screen is off. If you have a bunch of google accounts syncing, turn off the sync for the services you dont us or need in account and sync settings. Should help quite a bit. Oh, remove unnecessary widgets especially fb and google search (lots of resources, its weid). Remove apps you dont use.

You can create multiple accounts through the app, all of which will have 50gb free.

To edit the build.prop (found in /system/build.prop) you can use adb (pull/push), or PropEditor or Rom ToolBox

pc sync

Thanks for the tip, all that extra storage for a couple of minutes work. A lot of people have been complaining about not having pc sync for box.net.

The 25mb limit is pretty crap though, kind of defeats the object :(

Hi

That why I haven´t made a Box.net account yet ...

And I also prefer Dropbox because of the smooth integration with Titanium Backup and ESFileExplorer.

On the other hand Box.net might be handy for more static backup of pictures and other tiny sized stuff LOL

Hi,

I am an avaid htc desire fan and think I am looking for a android tablet. I really like the apps available to me on the htc, and do a bit of app development/rom. What I really would like is a cheap android tablet, that runs everything that the htc desire has (I could probably lose telephony). It would have to be possible to root the tablet, and flash it.

I would only need a modest size touch screen, but a camera/vid would be good. Oh yes if possible it must have a reasonable battery life also.

Does such a device exist (yet)? If not whats the nearest available. I have looked around the internet but have never really been convinced that the reviews are that good. I know there are real fellow nerd/techyheads here so I would value your ideas.

I have no hands on experience of a tablet at all.

Hey bud,

Thanks for ur reply, dlna is an option and would work well for sharing media files. But from wat i understand it will not support screen mirroring :( so far the only way to mirror the evo3d on big screen that i've found is a device by xbounds but i dont really wana spend $139 just to be able to do this. There has to be another way or server/client app to mirror the screen on pc.

I've recently seen the light and made the switch to android from iphone :-) ios actually does screen mirrioring with apple tv very well so i am sure android should be able to do this as well (and better) :)

Anyone?

With canonical's recent release of ubuntu 11.10, I've been very dissapointed. I'm not really a fan of unity or gnome 3 as they look tablet-oriented, and I need a ui for a desktop. I'm willing to try other distros, but I have no idea where to go. Originally I tried linux mint 11, but it had trouble with the building packages needed for android and the ui looked pretty ugly to me, so I installed ubuntu 11.04( with gnome-classic) and i ve been using it ever since. I was hoping 11.10 would be more stable, but seeing that its not, I guess its time to look for another distro until 12.04 is released, hopefully it will be stable since its a lts release. So any ideas for a good alternative to ubuntu? I'm looking for stabilty, speed, and a clean-polished good looking ui like ubuntu's.
