bootable sd card with osx

Lehite, I was having the same problem, i.e. disk utility in osx couldn't do the job for me. I ended up using this method.

Download the “size agnostic” CM7 SD card installer image (v1.3 in my case), then write it to your microSD following the instructions on the before mentioned page. The writing takes a little bit without terminal telling you the progress, after 1-2 minutes it should be done.

After succesfully writing the image to your SD card copy the files from Goncezilla's SD Boot thread (here) to your SD card overwriting files if necessary and follow his further instructions.

On a reboot with the boot SD inside your nook you should get to the CWM menu after seeing the cardboard box. good luck!

I myself am also stuck at the black screen after the box and need to figure out how to get the ADB working on osx to be able to do Loglud's commands... :(

UPDATE: to get ADB working on osx I used this method. Since I'm not a developer I didn't download the whole SDK package from google but rather just the ADB tools from here.

I then connected the Nook to the mac while in CWM, checked if it was properly recognized but typing adb devices, and applied Loglud's adb commands. BAM! worked! Am back in android :) Many thanks to all for directions, especially Loglud.

Now a question to Indirect, I downloaded your package just today, while using it it verified the MD5 positively and continued flashing. Why did I get the black screen, and not the CWM?

cheers

CWM

Hi guys

I have a noob question :D is necessary to instal CWM on internal partion to make my nook flashable???

For example: Can I flash a new ROM from SD card with SD card CWM or not??? Because I realy dont want to have these problems with broken recovery.

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
No, its not necessary to install CWM internal but it is better and yes you can flash a new ROM from SD card with SD card CWM plus all the other options aswell. Both internal and sdcard CWM features work.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] FLYer0618:
Thanks V I only want to be sure with text above ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lehite:
I was able to finally boot to CWM from the SD card, but when I try to use the Nook_Recovery_fix.zip file, it says that the install was aborted. What does that mean and what should I do?

Thanks!

Edit: I was able to finally reboot to stock using adb. This was a mess. Not impressed.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] qngds:
What finally worked for you? It took me forever to figure out how to partition. EASUS did not see the sd card. I used the minipartition. Still trying, very much in vain, to boot. I've tried this method, and the one and the one eXouT suggested. The cardboard box hangs out a bit longer than it used to, but I doubt that means anything lol.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lehite:
Good luck!

This is what I did to get CWM to boot from SD card (from eXOuT):

You should also be able to create a bootable sd card using gparted in ubuntu. I didn't have a linux machine at the time or it would have been no big deal. I have since set up a virtual ubuntu desktop for this type of stuff (using virtualbox, since it's free and easy). After I could boot to CWM from the SD card I did this:

Get ADB working (using this method if you're on a Mac like me). Then follow these instruction from Loglud:

I hope this helps! Let me know if there's anything I can help with!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] qngds:
Thanks Lehite, for your reply. I'm currently trying the fix in

[UnBrick]TOTAL WIPE and reflash back to 1.4.0 via Ubuntu Recovery --Now Easier!!!!

if that doesnt work, I'll follow what you did. At any rate, I will report back. After 4 days I'm thinking about conceding defeat. It would be the first android that's beaten me in like 4 years lol. I do have warranty on the device, so I suppose I can run it over and turn it in for replacement :)

EDIT

Up and running and on CM7. I was able to finally boot into CWM, but adb just did not recognize. I used Adam's ubuntu method. Had issues with getting the filed flashed to a card, and then it took a few times rebooting to get it running. Hey, I got familiar with gparted and a few other programs, and install ubuntu 11 to dual boot on a laptop. All in all, stressful but I got alot out of it. That includes clearly marked sd cards if anything goes haywire again! Thanks for your help!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Techienana:
@ lehite and qngds

I have been fighting with clockworkmod bootloop and trying anything and everything that might work. I have tried the verygreen sd card install method, the adb commands given above and still wind up right back into cwm. No joy there unless I am missing something very important. The install seems to go well but always, always back to cwm. I tell you I am beginning to hate that box and white background! What I wouldn't give to see a penguin these days!

Anyway, I want to try Adam's fix but there isn't any way to download the files. Any more ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Hmmm did you have stock ROM when it bricked? if so which version of root did you use and what firmware version did you have at the time? i ask because you may want to try with parted but depending on which root method you used you could have parted already or you will need to push it using adb to /system/bin directory. If you want more details you could look here and here (where i provide the parted tools). If you need more help with that post in any of those threads.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Techienana:
Sadly, I'm getting kind of old and muddled so I don't know if I can properly answer your question. But here's a little history if it will help:

Installed Nook&Zergy, got fascinated byyour Stock 1.4.0 + Root + Apps + Mods - GO Launcher [Yes/No B&N|Rebloat Pack] and installed. Opted for no updates. Then installed CWM internally. Then successfully used parted to repartition. Next thing I know, one boot loop after another. There's probably a whole lot of stuff that I have forgotten in between these movements but I probably made things worse by trying to reinstall Nook&Zergy, ad infinitum. I have used Acclaim and another backup image, but no joy. I even repartitioned back to the old partitions, except that totals for 10 and 11 are off and I don't know how to fix them.

FYI, whatever went wrong, when I connect to use ADB, I get nothing but zeros for device serial number. Before the big mess, I looked at my device info and it said 1.0.0 instead of 1.4.0. Also, I get the message that restores complete but there is no sd-ext.img so sd-ext is not restored. (Is this important?)

On the fun side of this, I have rediscovered ADB. I haven't played with it since I rooted my first NC. But now with all these problems, I am working it! The only thing is I don't know what to change/push/do to get it up and running. So, I am going to look at the two threads you indicate and see if they can help.

This forum is huge! I thought I had searched out all the answers to my problem but there is always so much more to find. It's kind of nice to be able to invest this much time into fixing my newest Nook product. I guess that's what happens when you get old enough to be the mother of probably most of the people on this forum and don't have to work due to bad health. Yay for us oldsters!?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Lmao you have a nice sense of humor, keep it up.

In the second link I provided you will see adb tools link, that link will take you to my other thread how to install & use adb. But if you say you used nook&zergy root method means you had adb working because you need to run runmefirst.bat for adb to work that will put nook vendor ID in the right place so your device gets recognized.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Techienana:
Alright, my brain just woke up. I caused the whole problem by not following directions. I DID NOT backup and restore. Yes, I deserve all the trouble I am having. So when the repartitioning process finished, I had nothing to restore and went into CWM bootloop. Is there any hope for me? LOL, wow! I will write 100 times: Follow the directions to the T!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Now im confused lol meh... well if you can boot CWM from a sdcard then just pick my 1.4.0 modified rom or any other, download it copy it to another sdcard then in CWM when its time to flash it just remove the sdcard containing CWM and put the other one containing the ROM and flash it ( note that if it's a flashable zip you must flash it from "install zip from sdcard" >> choose zip but if it's a backup you have to restore it from "backup & restore" >> restore

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Techienana:
Been there, done that about 90 times. No good. But I decided to get brave and download the file seeded by an xda member. It is downloading as I type and we will know if it helps or not very shortly.

BTW, I totally appreciate you and admire your knowledge and helpfulness. XDA can be intimidating for those of us with less knowledge about this fascinating process and it is always nice to have some helpful member try to steer you in the right direction. And it just really tickles me that you are a young woman! Being from the old school, I always get a mental picture of some young guy working on this stuff. Now I will have to adjust my mental picture!

Edited to add: The torrent download is sooooooo slow that Adam's brother might get around to helping before it is completed. LOL!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
OK don't forget to make the wipes data and advanced > wipe dalvik cache you can even format /system from Mount & Storage before flashing a new ROM but do not format anything else. WARNING: Data, cache, dalvik cache and system are safe to wipe/format but not the rest (At list for this device)

Old school eh! that's ok on the other hand im very open minded :cool: and glad to be helping around...

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Techienana:
Also, let me add that at one point I was so frustrated with this thing (and crying over my money) that I just went through and formatted everything in sight under mounts and storage except boot. Yes, yes, again, I know I'm getting what I deserve. I don't know if that's causing a problem or not, but it looks like I will need to wipe and reinstall using Adam's method if I am going to get it going again. But never say die; I'm still working on it AND loving it!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Ok that is what it caused the bricking you did not mention all you did to your device and to fix it you need to use Adams unbrick method. That will restore your partitions and leave it in purely stock.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Techienana:
:o De acuerdo. I didn't have any success downloading the file from the torrent. It started off slow and then indicated that download time was [infinity symbol]. I am too old already to wait that long for a file! :D By any chance are there instructions to perform a wipe through ADB? I have nothing to lose and it can't make things any worse. Otherwise, I am just going to have to be very patient. Maybe someone will come up with a way to remove clockwordmod from the device itself and then I can do the 8 reboots.

Edited to add: Finally got Adam Outler's file downloaded and am making the sd card right now. Will report back.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Techienana:
You know, l could have saved myself a lot of trouble if I had just read your NT faqs first. I thought I had done enough research but this is where all my problems came from, I think: "WARNING: if you installed CWM do NOT perform a Hard factory reset and/or erase & deregister (within B&N settings) as it doesn't work and could possibly mess up your device even more." That is precisely what happened, in addition to all the other dumb moves that I made. Hopefully, this will help someone else keep from making the same mistakes I made.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] qngds:
I saw on Adam's thread you are up and running. :) Adam's method was the only thing that worked for me as well. Enjoy!

If my SD and SD-ext wont mount in recovery mode is that considered a broken recovery?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
sd-ext is not used and doesn't matter, but your sdcard should mount verify it withing mount&storage >> Mount /sdcard

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tjac357:
when I hit mount in CWM it says error mounting :/ i'm using cm7 if that matters

edit: wiped sd card and all is well
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tjac357:

Do you have a Nook Tablet? If not you're in the wrong forum. And if you do have a Nook Tablet you really should provide more info about what you have done. There is a troubleshooting section that you should use for that. But, once again: this is the Nook Tablet forum and not for other tablets.

Maybe you could go to a shop where there's a demo unit and try it for yourself, try also other brand that suits your budget. If suits your hearing then go for it. ;)

I have white tours, and they are awful in my opinion. I've had two sets now, and both have broken. The sound starts muffling and becomes distorted. Do not buy!

I'd say get some good quality skullcandys or save up for a lovely set of Bose.

Rs 2000 is about USD$35?

You'd better save your $60 from beats, Xears Nature N3i would be a great choice if you're bass heavy lover. Currently selling for $45 with coupon: KLANGFUZZIS

First off, just let me say that I am not a complete newbie, but I am fairly new to this so bare with me, I am sorry.

Ok so here is the story. I got the phone new with froyo and then got the OTA update for gingerbread.. I hated the the new camera app, so I rooted, flash clockwork recovery and flashed back to Froyo. Well I got sick of Froyo because besides the camera, gingerbread to me is way better. But this is where I have problems. I tried to flash back to stock gingerbread and it said "installation aborted" every time and I have no idea why. I tried to update through LG updater with no luck, and I dont know why, maybe baseband? So I get pissed and unroot and flash back stock recovery, which is where I am at now. All I want is to get back to gingerbread and be official so I can be all set to get any future updates if we are so lucky to get one? I'm not expecting an update but I'll be happy with the phone in gingerbread with stock rom, I had my fun with custom roms, dont care for it anymore. I didnt do any back ups, and im currently on 2.2 everything stock.

Can anyone help me? Point me in the right direction?

Correct. The wallpapers should be 2x the screen width by 1x the screen height (1440 x 1280).

[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Saw this app called pdroid, allows you to set the permissions apps have(better than other apps like droidwall), probably gonna patch it onto my nook color, but would make even more sense on my phone.. only problem is that for HTC devices it says it requires s-off.(updated: apparently this isn't an issue)

I guess my question would be if anyone would know a way to workaround? It doesn't require root.. I am wondering if there is a way I can patch the rom before I flash it perhaps?

Also, I didn't know that apparently there is a feature that cuts off all network connectivity for selected apps built into cm7.. I'm starting to think I didn't know about 99% of the features cm7 allowed. That is probably why I always went with MIUI.

Anyways, figured I would ask here, or perhaps someone else would think this was interesting, or maybe something like this could be included in future roms. It evidently has a tiny memory footprint, uses little processor, etc.. so don't see what the harm could be. I'll have time to play with it this weekend I am thinking..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Chance Ill:
Stericson has an app that has the same features call "Permissions". It doesn't require S-off
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
This is a solid app. I have it installed
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Which one, pdroid, or permissions?

I saw the permissions app when I was looking into it, apparently the way pdroid functions you are less likely to get a force close from apps that you cut permissions off.

I'm not the paranoid type, there are some apps that aren't designed very efficiently that I would cut off features from like wakelock, boot_receive, gps, etc.. and sadly those apps don't show up on the list in the free version(like facebook, I don't want it doing ANYTHING unless I am using it). The pro version might do it, but I'd rather donate to a dev of an app like pdroid that gives you the full features than buy an app hoping the paid version does what the free version doesn't.. 15 minutes just isn't enough time to explore some paid apps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
I'm sure the developer stated it needed s-off in good faith, only recently was it possible to have a boot loader with s-on (unlocked) and be able to have r/w access to /system. Previously s-off would be required for this. I'm sure pdroid will work with a s-on unlocked boot loader, with a rooted system. The only difference between s-on unlocked and s-off is that the radio and boot loader can't be overwritten when not signed from HTC. As far as custom roms and root capabilities are functionally the same.
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
pdroid. and s-off is not a core requirement. If you can flash from recovery, then it's all good.

the only thing I have to decide between now is LBE Privacy Guard or Pdroid
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Good to know, I wasn't sure why it would need s-off, but what you said makes total sense..

Well maybe you can share what you know about LBE privacy guard compared to pdroid? I've already spent too much time being distracted from school work the last few days or I would look into it myself.. but in a few days I will have time to mess around with all of this guilt-free.

What rom are you using? I keep seeing people post the flashable zip file patch output in different forums, maybe we could do that here for others who may be using the same rom?
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
Both apps are rock solid.

LBE Privacy Guard does the job nicely, coupled with an intuitive UI, firewall, data monitor...

PDroid, love it. Although compatibility is issue. Requires patch. It however gives extra option in privacy department

Whichever you decide to choose, its a good pick

Currently using Deodex tmobile 1.43.531.3 from this thread
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
LBE seems pretty good so far, I like that it allows you to change the permissions of system apps.. and to choose "prompt" when some apps try to access permissions. The only thing I wonder is how the monitoring part will impact battery life, and the only thing I wish it did was allow was a change to the wake lock permission.

The main thing I am trying to accomplish is to cut off communication for certain apps altogether EXCEPT when I use them- facebook, google voice, g+, stuff like that. I also want to cut off the ability for certain apps to wakelock the phone at all, like gtalk(I don't use it at all) and a few others. The fact that some of these services don't allow you to change how they sync or they hold a wakelock I don't want.. I want to change that.

Would pdroid better accomplish what I am trying to do? Does it allow permissions changes of system apps?
