[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike11050:
You absolutely rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm back at the NC "baseline". I tried to go back to a 1.2 (which is what it came with) using "update-nc-stock-1.2-signed". Once I re-booted, it kept returning to the NOOK COLOR screen. Then I used a 1.0.1 from your last post. It came back fine with 2 exceptions. 1) I now have a message that I need to install a SD card. When I do, my (Windows Explorer) "Computer" screen only recognizes the SD card and not the Nook. These are piddly little issues, but if I can get them fixed, great! (Right now, I cannot upgrade the NC or move any books or load any apps.

Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chase2hoop:
I had this same problem. Since I am a new member, and can't post links, I'm going to try to help.

Install Clockwork Recovery to an SD card. Yes, the same way you did when installing clockwork to the SD the first time.

There are some threads on other fourms (google is your friend) that have links to Update files that allow you to update while keeping clockwork recovery, and some that will remove clockwork recovery. If you can remove the SD card and boot into the Stock Nook OS, then don't worry about installing 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 like some of the forms say. Just place the .ZIP file of the hacked update (usually 1.3 or 1.4 I think) into the root folder of the SD card, then Install it on your NC just like installing CM7 onto the internal memory. Your nook should start working again. It restored mine to full functionality. I can now pay 3 Dollars for angry birds, but at least its not as terribly slow and laggy as it was with CM7.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdranger:
I had the same issue last weekend, somehow my internal memory had become unrecognizable to anything, and the local Barnes and Noble store had a SD card that repartitioned the internal memory, and I was back in business. And as an added bonus I now have the 4 GB app/BN partition and the 1 GB mostly useless partition.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceMcF:
The instructions I see when googling around where I see that image mentioned are instructions for installing onto the Nook Color internal memory.

In the simplest case, making an n2a card is much less complicated than that ~ all you need is on the PC, write the size agnostic image, then drop in the CM7 build you want to use, then put the card in the Nook and it creates itself. There are upsides and downsides to different n2a methods, but that one seems to be the easiest ~ I've done it successfully several times, and I'm certainly nothing like an expert when it comes to these Android systems.

A recovery card image will make a bootable recovery card ... and while that might not have been what you needed to get what you want, its what you need to get the nook back to stock.

You might want to go to

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22809801&postcount=148

... to get a version of the 1.4.1 upgrade that your recovery card can install. You'll probably have to wipe all sorts of partitions, which means you'll have to sign in with the B&N store again and you'll get to download you B&N apps again, but that's pretty straightforward.

This OP in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10623716&postcount=1

... says that it will be necessary to format ("wipe") the /data and /system partitions, but it doesn't seem like you'll lose anything you want to keep. After all, you've either overwritten or completely tangled up your stock B&N info.

That post above has 1.4.1. There should be a signed 1.4.2 lying around somewhere, but if not, once its back to stock, you can update to 1.4.2 the normal way, download the B&N update file, drop it in the root of the Nook, make sure its at least 30% charged, and let it go to sleep, which will run the update file.

And let's vote to get it stickied! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kobald:
After reading all the negative posts made by a tiny few people, I registered just to set the record straight.

Prime is the best tablet out there, period. It can be tablet or laptop, has quad core power and so thin and light. You need to spend time with it to know how awesome it is. A very vocal minority of annoying people posting useless complaints and a lot of them are ignorant. Check out the polls and you will see majority of forum is totally in love with this.

Uneducated people using HC think this tablet should not stutter at all navigating UI. Guess what? HC is not optimized for quad core. ICS will be out soon and will fix this. This is first release people! Also firmware is coming down often from Asus to help. Also factory resetting easilly returns the Prime to responsiveness when needed. Asus deserves props for launching most powerful tablet at excellent price. This baby is 10 times better than iPad.

Browser is great too, but if its too sluggish for you just get Opera! We have choices people. Stock browser just gives you a taste of what is out there.

People complaining about GPS have started 3 threads on it. Is that really necessary? I come to XDA to find out new tricks and hacks for my TFP, not to read pages of complaints made by select few people. For majority of us GPS is not an issue. Google maps shows my position just fine. Anyone wanting 10" GPS for driving around should go get a real GPS. This is a TABLET. Even Asus Sweeden says GPS is just extra feature, not even a primary sensor. You should be happy it has EXTRA FEATURE, not complain about it! Truth is most people don't care about GPS anyway.

As for loose LCD screen, again first release. You knew there will be some minor issues so why complain about minor things. I am almost finished with my "Superglue Mod" which completely and easilly fixes this issue. I will post instructions after I figure out how to remove glue fingerprints from under screen.

Light bleed can only be seen in dark room, or during startup, but I believe my superglue mod will also fix screen bleed. Just have to figure out how to do it without glue fingerprints. For now I am recommend people just leave it alone and give factory glue more time to set. Also firmware may fix this.

Some peoples have said screen is too yellow. Its actually just color temperature they choose and is a design feature, and good personal preferance. Many people wear yellow glasses for driving or shooting to ENHANCE what they see. I for one am glad for some very slight yellow tint, because now display is enhanced.

WiFi is more than acceptable. Although not as good as my phone's but soon I expect other modders to come out with case hack which will make WiFi perfect. Might even help GPS.

Battery life is the best also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Dead GPS isn't a useless complaint, but indeed a very valid one imho.

Not to mention it didnt start out as an "extra" feature, but was later made out to be, just to cover their asses.

And I don't know what polls you've been looking at, but the ones Ive seen were showing that the majority was less then satisfied.

And if you deem it acceptable for the first batch to pretty much fall apart, you are an idiot.

There is no excuse for piss poor QC, especially for devices of this price caliber.

You're already super gluing your screen, hope the 500 bucks was worth it?

Firmware doesnt fix hardware problems like screen bleeding either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrljt:
I agree, this is a great tablet. Some people wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they couldn't complain.

I have had no problems and the screen and battery exceed my expectations. Glad I bought it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robomo:
I think it's beneficial all that complaining - it's pushing ASUS to develop a GPS solution.

That's pressure that helps us all.

I think it could be done more sophisticatedly however - seems like a lot of pouting going on.

However, it's a minor issue and I agree with you 100% -

Awesome battery life!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redlin'r:
This is right on the money! Thanks for those comments....Now I just can't wait to get mine.

It's just very sad that as consumers we have to anticipate the minor errors for initial production units. You would assume the QC for these companies would identify issues, but I think there is so much demand on a product that the company would rather release a few under par units to be returned later than delay the release. Either way, my philosophy has always been that I don't "NEED" the product right away, so sit back and wait until I'm comfortable spending the money on that product and peruse and reviews so I know what to expect. Sometimes I even decided I didn't want the product after the reviews.

I'm glad to see your positive and realistic comments. I'm right on track with your post.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mongocain:
You had me inspired...right up until the super glue finger prints. Yike! What where you thinking?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Janitor Mop:
If Asus can revise the hardware in order to fix GPS and strengthen Wifi to be comparable to other tablets, and can improve their QC, and ICS lives up to what people expect of it, then I will deem the Transformer Prime the best current tablet. So a Transformer Prime with fixed GPS, improved Wifi, no QC issues, and ICS is what I would call the best current tablet. It needs this confluence of improvements to be deemed "best". But I would not call it the best in its current state.

As to the OP, that is probably one of the most idiotic posts I have seen in this forum so far.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that's what I've been saying but seems obvious. alot of the negative complainers aren't getting the point. they wouldn't know a good thing if it hit them in the face.

I agree with you also. nothing wrong with voicing complaints and dislikes with the device. but do so in a more proper and constructive manner. pouting and telling people not to get the device because they had a bad experience isn't helping anyone. I think the biggest GPS thread is the only one trying to help figure out a solution. all others are just rants and overly exaggerated.

we need more posts and threads like these to overshadow the ones trying to make it seem like all primes are broken or faulty. some people here believe if your device is working properly, you must be lying, or don't know any better, or ignoring the issues, or even not running the trouble shooting tests correctly. those people that assume that have no clue and try to impose and influence their negative way of thinking on other members and new people coming on to the scene. very glad that more n more people realizing the real truth.

Like I said before, if I wouldn't listened to all the negative comments and let it influence me, I would've never got this tablet. Since 12/22, I've been note than satisfied with it and easily exceeded all my expectations. only slight issue is GPS. which I'm not pressed about anyways. that's why I never bothered to give it a real test yet. once the time comes, I will.

Always happy to hear when more n more people happy with device. It is truly the best out right now and I think some people hate that that's Fact ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Postal76:
Can you educate me and link to a source for your claim that ICS will somehow be more optimized for quad core processors and will reduce stuttering?

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
the super glue part does have me scratching head also..lol. I would've sent it in n let Asus send me another one or fix it. that's a lil extreme though, super glue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slef2003:
As a punter who has the prime on pre-order at two separate retailers in good old blighty, and who is looking forwards to delivery and appreciate the positive comments that you have made; I do wonder about the "superglue mod" as to be honest I will be returning mine for a new model if Asus bundle some superglue with mine! :rolleyes:

When I have paid £500 for my toy I am afraid I do want it to be stuck together before I get it (I can remember how messy I was with airfix models 40 years ago :D) and teh thought of a screen with superglued fingerprints on the inside of the screen makes me want to scream and also wonder what you have done for your warranty!!

Let's hope you have no major future problems with the little beast.

Andy
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
So if the Acer and Lenovo have these issues when they first come out, are you going to cut them the same amount of slack you're cutting Asus? Because what you're basically saying is that any initial issues don't count on new devices and when judging what's "best" people should ignore its faults and view it based on what it "can" be not what it "is."

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Saying "best ever" in your thread title and then spending 1/2 of your post talking about issues and attacking people that have them just seems paradoxical.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theoilman:
best tablet so far? yes

good enough for me to buy? not with a locked bootloader.

If Asus doesn't unlock it I won't get one, and I'll check out what other companies are showing off at CES.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kobald:
I am having real problem to remove superglue thumbprint and dont think I will release that mod. Too much potential for mistake plus screen is now lose again. Think I am try to return it for replacement.

Theres a fingerprint, splattering and what seems to be a gash or a bit of glue that ran down the screen.

What did you do to that poor thing?

holy ****, wth did you do?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Lulz. First the OP is so blinded by his extreme fanboyness that he cannot possibly believe other people are having legit issues with this tablet. Going with the "Mine works just fine you must be a noob" mentality. Then he openly admits to developing a superglue "mod" and the best part..... now hes talking about returning it!!! Ahhh the hilarity. I'm favoriting this thread so I can get a good LOL next time I'm feeling down
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdynak:
Praying for ya this is some kind of a joke...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonjon68:
I read the OP and thought "This guy is a complete tool" but by the end of the post I was thinking, nah, this is an attempt at irony. I wonder how many people will actually get it. I was a little amused at some of the responses. Then I saw the quote post above and confirmed my initial suspicion. And I'm just dumbfounded people are still responding to you as if what you wrote was legitimate.

good one Kobald. And to the subsequent posters still jamming you, don't you feel a little stupid? I mean honestly, how dim do you have to be to not realize he's joking? Glueing their brand new tablet. awesome you said and even more awesome people are still responding to it. I should just shut up and laugh as this thread progresses but couldn't do it. Had to laugh at the "tools" who didn't get it.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
To you.

Don't push your values off on me. I'm glad you're enjoying your defective tablet. But this is an issue with EVERY Prime that has shipped so far as far as I can tell.

This morning's OTA may have fixed it, and if that's the case then WONDERFUL! But if not it still needs to be fixed.

And no amount of rabid fanboi-ism will change that. No matter how many "Mine is perfect" bull**** threads get started.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ToyTank:
Super glue is cyanoacrylate and is not really ideal for this use, it does not bond good enough with glass.

Use optical quality lens cement like Norland. I would reccomend Norland 61. You can buy a bottle from norland or buy a small bit from Rocket Tomato on CPF forums.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kobald:
Thanks all for feedback. After seriously considering returning it, I believed there might be a problem trying that. So with this in mind, it gives me the courage to try new mod. I know everyone is thinking about trying this, but unsure it might not work. So I did it first for you. Tonight I did "Dremel Mod" to my case. All I can say is "WOW". WiFi and GPS is working now much better. And honestly I believe my "Superglue Mod" does help hold screen in place. When I get time, I will do total write up with both mods to share. I now have PERFECT tablet in the world!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] philip52:
LOL...looks good. Can't wait for the write ups!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Is that really you and your Prime and did you actually cut-out that slot over the GPS antenna? If yes, you have a chance to be a hero. Due some tests using GPS Test and take pics, or even better, post a quick vid. One of the ways to prove the metal case is causing all the GPS probelms is for someone to do exactly what you seem to have just done.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jvnat:
Forget pics. Definitely do video showing your Dremel mod hole and zoom in. Then show your results of GPS test.

You're on a hacker's forum. Get into the hacker/DIY spirit. It's only a toy.

Yes, it costs some money, but if you've bought it, then the money is already spent. Have some fun.

If nothing else, you will have an interesting conversation piece when you sidle up to that nice babe at the coffee table.

Nothing gets a conversation started better than a nice shiny toy covered with duct tape. Mucho points for geek cred.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kobald:
The purpose of this thread was to point out that the TFP has some legitimate issues. Nobody should spend $500 to $600 on a droid tablet and have to "deal with" spotty WiFi, creaking screens, yellow display, chargers that fall apart, a GPS that doesn't work and is removed from specs, etc, etc.

Yet there are people in this forum that defend this device with furor, to the point that it is ridiculous.

I wanted the TFP to be everything it was hyped up to be, but it is not.

To anyone who took offense, please accept my apology.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bestco:
until Asus fixes the GPS feature, right now I feel my original transformer is a better tablet for my personal use. It's got a working GPS and the WIFI signal is better than Prime, those two features are much more important to me than having a quad core CPU (I'm not a gamer).
