Sorry, just realized I didn't answer your question. As mr welch said, none that I know of. Also, given that the procedure for starting from scratch is so well documented now and should only take 30-60 minutes, I would recommend you start over as well since you seem to be having some issues with your current setup.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Umlaat:
There are many posts on these forums about rooting 1.4.0 and 1.4.1. I suggest doing as I did and reading the various posts and then deciding on what will work best for you. I am currently rooted on 1.4.1, not OTA blocked, have access to Google Amazon B&N markets, can sideload from the browser ( using newest nthiddensettings.apk) and use android wonder machine to sideload.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Pardon me the questions but for you what's the difference between 1.4.1 and 1.4.0? are the fixes/changes notables? in few words why will i want to update to 1.4.1? advantages? i have been wondering this for long lol and i have read DeanGibson's thread but i see some people have a bit of trouble with the process.

Just completed filming a simplified root method using SDcards, posted video and instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439630

and just realized my laptop does not have an micros sd slot...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
I assume you are copying the restore file to the card? Just use your Nook. Put it in the root directory, and one you restore, make sure you delete or rename the file so you don't restore again on accident.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
thats just it, how to get it on the Nook when I don't have access to a browser? I cannot for the life of me find where the stock browser went!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
When you plug the Nook into the computer, do you not have access to the SD card as a drive?

Edit: and the file should be in the root directory of the SD card, not the Nook.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
no sd card yet
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Umlaat:
I was rooted with 1.4.0, then when 1.4.1 broke root I started over from scratch and built up to 1.4.1 rooted. Honestly, I don't see any difference. I say if you are comfortable with your nook don't make any more changes. You paid for it, do with it what you will. But it is always good to know your options.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Umlaat:
Without an SD card you may be stuck. If you don't have an SD slot on your computer, you can also get a usb to microSD adapter.

What is your current nook setup? 1.4.?, rooted or not, any market access?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
So, you don't have an SD card? Then there's no way to make a magic SD card ... it's kinda the first ingredient.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Decided I'll spring for the SD card tomorrow. Was trying to avoid buying one once I had access to the extra 11 GB of storage on the rooted NT. I am on 1.4.0, apparently no,longer rooted since doing the erase, no ability to access internet as I can no longer see (or generate by pressing "n") a browser icon
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Umlaat:
Just thought of something....launch the B&N store, search for "browser", a couple apps down you should see the Puffin browser. Since it's from the B&N store it should install fine. That will give you web access to tide you over till you get your SD card.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
He's trying to root. He needs the stock browser to access the "install apps from unknown sources"option.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
You could do the factory restore trick of holding down the power and n buttons when yyou turn the device on which should make it stock again with all your data and modifications gone as it wipes /system as well as /data. Since you are already on 1.4.0 theres no issue but there would be if you were on 1.4.1 as that replaces the orginal 1.4.0 recovery with the 1.4.1 one from the update.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Umlaat:
Was not aware that only the stock browser would do that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Isn't it a security hole in the stock browser?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
got dolphin installed and up - don't ask me how but I diddled in Nook shop for apps and next thing i know I;m connected. N button still takes me aback to Nook home screen only - what do I nee to do next to have my apps show up and access them?

What apps do I need to reinstall? I just reinstalled Button savior but what do i need to set it to?

Reinstall Hidden Settings?

How do I get that damn N button to do something worthwhile?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Did you ever install Homecatcher or the modified SystemUI?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Umlaat:
Hey I am just an Android newb that has read a lot of these forum posts and managed to root my NT, I don't know that answer.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
did have homecatcher previously. How do I get my root home screen back to access all my apps. How do I configure button savior?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
When you say "root home screen", are you referring to your launcher? I haven't really used Button Savior, so I can't help you with that.

Do you still have access to a File Explorer? Try this: go to market.Android.com on your PC and try to install a launcher (like ADW Free) to your Nook.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
I was able to install adw directly onto NT. N Button now allows me to choose between Nook and ADW launcher (actually says ADW.Launcher or Home)

Success! I see icons for my previously installed apps

Before I go any further, what do I need to make sure I do?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Check a root app to see if it works right, and check the market to see if you can download apps.

What is your goal now? Are you still trying to return to stock so you can sell it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
I can get es file explorer working (don't think it has superuser rights though)

I don't see hidden settings anymore either, but i can download and install apps from android market now

as for selling, once i can confirm all personal data is of, likely
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
last challenge is getting OTA's blocked again as I'm showing 1.4.0 and previously it was 9.9.9 (after blocking).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
How did you do it before? The easy way to do it is to use TiBu to restore the modified DeviceManager.apk, but if you don't have an SD card that won't work. Did you edit the SQLite values manually?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
The way I got to 9.9.9 was through the basic root process best as I can remember (Andrew Wertz video steps of nookandzergy). I do not think I did any manual editing of values. I did get Hidden Settings back on.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Hmm ... I haven't ever watched that video, so I don't know exactly what process he used. Perhaps you should watch it again and see what he says when it comes to that part.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
He downloads a zip file from indirect, then moves the three files it produces to Dropbox to move them to his NT. Then he downloads them to the Titanium backup folder. This last step (Dropbox download) isn't available as an option.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
I dont know who this andrew character is... but, you can use export also to export to titanium backup folder on sd card. Also, check my signature for a link to sd card root I made. There is an image link to the sd card, you can download and unpack that image to your sd card and all the files you need ar there and I show a video on how to use it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Why doesn't Dropbox give me the download option? Without an SD card, is there any other way to get this last step done?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
So, I really have no idea how you did this without an sd card. Did someone post the modified DeviceManager.apk for you to manually move to /system/app? Did you have an sd card before?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Nope. No SD card ever. Just took it out of the box, ran the adb driver-nookandzergy process, next thing i know, 1.4.0 changed to 9.9.9.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tep065:
thats how babies are made:D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] deralaand:
This is funny!

Also, is it necessary to have an SD card present to root?

OP ... did you accidentally set the

Nook launcher as default? You have managed to perform some baffling things. Things that I don't think most people would have considered trying. Thanks for the trial and error results. :thumbup:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Philly Tim:
I can think of two other ways to launch the stock browser

I am late to this discussion and these suggestions may not be needed by the individual who lost the NT menu that allows access to the stock browser. However, here are two other ways to launch the browser without the menu button.

1. Open a book or magazine file and seek out a URL hotlink (often found on the title page, leading to the publisher's web page). Tap on the URL, and the browser will open and browse to that address.

2. Long tap (press and hold) on any word when a file is open, and a contextual menu will appear, offering to look up the word in the internal dictionary or at an external reference source, such as WikiPedia. Tapping on the latter options will again launch the browser.

Maybe these suggestions will be of use to someone else in the same boat.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesnell:
Hey there....I just wanted to tell you I had this same exact problem. I messed with something and decided to erase /deregister and suddenly my book button onlybtook me home, it no longer gave browser options. I worked around stuff like you and got other launchers installed but it gave me lots of problems. What finally worked and brought back the quick launch menu in stock launcher....was the magic sd card, then I true this other method and it worked too....

You turn off device

press and hold N and PWR button until boot screen appears and then dissappears for a couple seconds, then let go of both.

Then power on, answer continue to both questions using the N button and observe a full reset.

Then I had to just donwload USBDview to uninstall any related drivers...and redo the nookandzerg method. It is running perfect now. It was way easier than trying to piece everything back together

Hope that helps I struggled to fix the dang thing for like 2 days and of course the kind people on here came to my rescue
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Success! 9.9.9 restored, but when I get to unfreezing Devicemanagers Service I get a message saying freezing/unfreezing can only be done with the donate version? As it stands now, I still can't shop B&N.

Also, if i configured device without registering - will all the options to access B&N content remain disabled?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
So, yes, freezing/unfreezing can only be done with the donate version, but if you've got the 9.9.9 version installed, you don't really need to freeze it. When you go to Settings -> About Nook, it shows 9.9.9, not "Unavailable" right? Unavailable is what it would show if you had it frozen.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm going to say you can't shop for B&N content since you didn't register. How would they know who to bill?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
I read:

Owner - Unavailable

Account - Unavailable

Software version - 9.9.9

I recall Albert indicating that if you bypass registering, no access to B&N content would be the result, which is fine because I was intending to sell my NT to a person who wanted it rooted. That said, if they decide not to buy it, is it difficult to register it at this stage?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
This is what you want to see. I have no idea about registering it at this point. I would think you could do it ... do you see anything under the App Settings, or in About My Nook that looks like it would allow you to register? Mine is registered, so I don't see anything like that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Won't bother with registering it until I see if it's sold. I do have another question though:

during the root process, under Control Panel -> Devices and printers -> (right click on laptop) Device Installation Settings -> selected to "never install driver software from Windows update. I did this because I read that if you don't it would cause problems.

That said, now that everything appears to be up and running, is it a good idea to go back in and change back to "automatic updates" as it was set to before?

PS - Is it advisable to run Indirect's ADB Root Hijack at this stage? I originally rooted mine late Dec. but don't want to run into some of the same issues others did (or if I even need to run it). Thought?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i96danma:
This is driving me nuts!

Realizing that my Desire GSM (PVT3, S-OFF, stock HBOOT) won't ever go beyond GB only with the help of HTC, I started looking at alternatives and flashed a ICS build. This was at an early stage so I wasn't expecting much and that's what I got: not much. System app hung, leaving me with no alternative but to take the battery out and wipe Dalvik to boot it.

As the ROMs have progressed, my expectations have risen but still I two major issues:

1) Spontaneous reboots

Often when picking up the phone, I need to enter my PIN because the phone has rebooted. Sometimes I can go a day without that happening, sometimes it happens 3 or 4 times in a row.

2) No WiFi

It won't even turn on, the aLogcat trace is as below.

Seems it can't find the H/W at all! Is this something that can be attributed to the RIL?

This is all really confusing to me, had no problems at all w/ stock HTC ROMs. I have so far tried different versions of Sandvold and MIUI ROMs. Anybody experience the same or has a clue to what's wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i96danma:
Still no go - more evidence

As I thought WiFi was dead, I restored the phone to stock HTC 2.2. Lo and behold, now WiFi worked!

Armed with fresh new confidence I installed a number of 2.3 Sense and non-Sense ROMs (Runnymede, CM 7.1 etc.) just to see the same problem again.

Any idea? According to the dmesg below it's a hardware problem but since it work at least sometimes with stock ROMs it can't be that bad. Any other 2.3 user who could post their dmesg for a functioning WiFi card?

I know (from reading XDA) that USB bricks are associated with SD card read errors, WiFi dropouts, network dropouts etc. While i am in no way versed in mobile devices, i believe that your issue is somehow software-related, not a hardware fault. If i were in your place, as i said earlier, i'd try reverting to stock 2.2 (full RUU - stock bootloader, stock radio, stock everything) and i'd monitor the device for a couple of days. If i would encounter the same problems as under the ICS ROM you're using, i'd switch to a different custom recovery (some recoveries/recovery versions are known to have bugs) and i'd try to use ye olde USB brick fixes. Only if all would fail i'd call it a hardware issue and dip the phone in liquid Frackitol. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i96danma:
Thanks for your suggestions, TVTV.

I have tried reverting to stock RUU 2.2 - naturally the WiFi works... Right now, I'm running RunnyMede 5.0.1 (Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.5) and everything just works - WiFi running well and no hard or soft reboots. With any ICS build, though, I get the "data timeout" and occasional CRC check failure for mmc0 as above.

Your post got me thinking of the USB brick case. Although I have none of the other symptons, it could be a case of messed up misc partition, I guess. Tried updating to Alpharev HBOOT and them misc reset as described here -> android.modaco.com/topic/309939-usb-brickrickrolledb0rked-fixed/

Running out of ideas so pass me that bottle of Frackitol, please... :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVTV:
It seems that you're not the only one who ran into this issue. Check this thread out. :)

The OP seems to have solved his problem by replacing his/her SD card which was faulty and was being mounted as read-only.

on the "Whats new page" for that group. Not that sexy. :/

(I have all my homies in one group)

[Windows Phone 7 General] </travis>:
This isnt a bug, its how you receive notifications from your groups in facebook. For example, I got a 'close friends' group on facebook, its around 22 of them in there. Whatever they do (eg. upload photo, update status, or check-in) I receive those notifications in my me tile as well, even though they have their own friends tile separately. You can customize what notifications you get from that group on facebook, or you can turn it off.

So to relate it to your problem, your friends will be tagged and each have their own notifications, which will be then sent to your notifications in your me tile.

Btw most of my friends dont use the check in function in facebook, we rather use foursquare. Much fun-er.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nizzon:
No I dont think you understood the problem.

Lets say I have 4 friends in a group... Bill, Fred, Carl and Rob (im talking about a contact-group that I created on my phone, not a facebook-group).

Bill checks in and tags Fred, Carl and Rob in his checkin.

Now if I look at the "whats new" feed

for that group

I would expect 4 notifications, 1 from each friend, right?

But I get 4 notifications from Bill, describing the exact same thing.

[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Thats an odd bug. Perhaps try removing your facebook account, restarting phone and readding it just to reset the entire facebook connection. Not sure if that would do anything as it may just be an issue between MS's built in integration and how facebook is populating information.

I've not experienced this so wish I could be more helpful. Maybe try posting on here as well:

[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I don't know that I'd call it a bug. The wall of a group is just the aggregation of the wall of everyone in it. If people tagging each other causes it to show up on everyone's wall then, unless they wrote code to handle that, you're probably going to see it multiple times. I think they changed how tagging works in Facebook so I doubt there is any special logic there. I'm sure they will address it in a future release.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nizzon:
Exactly.

Earlier you couldnt tag people in your checkins, but now you can and its becoming more and more common.

I dont think WP can handle this feature yet, would be nice if someone else could check.

edit:

Posted it on the Windows Phone forums.

It will probably be fixed later on.
[Galaxy Tab General] tupo05:
Hi there,

I messed up with the 3G slot and now it won't recognize the 3G sim card. This happened when I tried to use a MicroSim without the appropriate adapter (yeah I'm crazy but..anyway). Then the card got stuck inside si I used a knife and some other sharp tools to try to extract it. After 30mn I managed to take out the microsim card but i think i must of damaged the pins because i couldn't see very well inside the slot. As a result, now when I insert my regular 3G card, the tab won't recognize it (Emergency call only, No sim card inserted.....).

Is there any way to open the tab so that i get a clear view inside the slot and eventually see what's broken inside ? Or should I say RIP 3G :(

Thanks for reading.
[Galaxy Tab General] ultramag69:
There is a guide floating around showing how to open your tab, need to do a search...

What I do remember is there's 2 screws at the bottom of the tab under rubber plugs, either side of the USB Connection slot... These need to be removed then you need to insert a thin blade or something that will go around the side and pop off the back cover without damaging the clips that hold it together...

Other than that I don't know, as I said, there is a guide on XDA somewhere...

Good Luck...;)

Thanks dude. Sounds scary man .... I'll give it a try
[Galaxy Tab General] lyvidium:
this happened to me too. only i inserted sim other way around and when pulling it out broke one of the pins. I found instructions on how to open tab, bought sim modul and replaced it. you should open the tab if you dont have warranty and see is it broken. +if you dont want to risk oppening it, use flashlight to take a peek inside the slot. you might actualy see what is the problem.
