[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cleverghost:
So since cm7 is so close, I decided to try the flashable cwm from indirect. Unfortunately, after that all that happens is my nook tries to boot, I see the white screen with the package, and then it turns off. If I have it plugged in, it will just loop.

I have partitioned a 4gb sandisk with a 50mb FAT 32 partition as the primary, and have given it the lba and boot flags in gparted from my ubuntu laptop. I never could get it to boot off the sd card.

So now I must ask, where do I go from here. I've searched and crawled this forum, but with the boot loop and not being able to boot off of SD, I am unsure where to go next.

Any tips? To me, it looks like it just keeps trying to boot from the recovery. N + Power yields same results as above. Could really use some help with this head scratcher :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
So you cant access to CWM at all, if not somehow you must make the sdcard method to work in order to apply the fix posted by Indirect, that is the only way im afraid.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cleverghost:
Okay, I get that. I have two questions though,

1: Does this mean I have to do the recovery method vs the bootable sd card?

2: How am I supposed to run commands to a device that keeps rebooting and doesn't give windows time to communicate with it, or will it send commands to it even though its rebooting?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
To apply Indirect's fix first you need to use Goncezilla's CWM sdcard method to boot into CWM once in CWM basically you use adb tools to fix it, use the link posted below by @dodgepot and read the OP carefully to understand the process.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cleverghost:
Thank you for the replies....

So I've gone through and tried once again to get my nook to boot from SD, and still I can't get it to boot. There is a way to do it using DISKPART in windows, I've made the 50mb fat partition, and set it to active. Have there been any other issues with getting it to work?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cleverghost:
Poked around the CM7 thread again, apparently CelticWebSolutions was having a problem booting from an sd card.

Anyone know what he did exactly?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cleverghost:
It works! Installing android sdk now
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
If you are on windows there is no need of SDK it will just give you troubles with the drivers, you should already have the drivers and adb if you rooted your nook tablet before. The adb drivers came in the zip provided for root and should be in C:\ntroot folder.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cleverghost:
I had access to a xp laptop when I did it on before. Using a win 7 64 bit right now, and indirect's batch file stops part of the way through. I had problems in 64 bit before, using the usb drivers from snowball's mod. Guess its a 64 bit problem. (have used usbdeview and I have verified it sets up as an android composite device.)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
i have a windows x64 bits too and when i rooted did not have any problem, do not install sdk it is not necessary, run the runmefirst.bat the one that comes in the .zip with the root files not the one that comes in the drivers.zip from Indirect's root. Snowball uses the same drivers as Indirect.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cleverghost:
I did everything stated above :(... still a no go.

I tried indirect's driver half a dozen times and can never seem to get it working on x64. I decided to format my laptop and put xp on it. Like I said, last time I used XP, no problems at all.

Edit: Okay, so I tried it on another x64 machine, and I still run into the same issue!

1. run runmefirst.bat

2. Plug in nook

3. Right click nook device with /!\ and update drivers from c:\ntroot

4. Open up bat from indirect's thread

5. Y, Enter

6. Program starts abd..... locks up right after it states it, I waited a good 10 mins for results.

7. Use USBDeview and delete all references to usb mass storage, nook, and android devices. Unplug nook.

8. Plug in nook and repeat 3-6

9. Bang head against wall lol.

It's probably something stupid I overlooked. Feel free to flame away, I'll take it like a man XD. I started with a nook color, but this is pretty much my first tablet experience. You guys have a lot of experience, and I just want to make sure I am not missing something obvious. (I guess I just don't want to seem like a noob, more like a half noob ;) )

Truth be told, I don't know if this is an issue... but I am runing W7x64 Ultimate N
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cleverghost:
Alright, so adb devices lists my device as "recovery".

I run the script and it still seems to just stop.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Uhmmm the steps you've done are right, I run a windows professional no N edition but that shouldn't be a problem. Maybe try disabling firewall, antivirus if any also Use ccleaner to clean your registries and cache of your machine, reboot and then try again, I want to repeat do not install SDK (just making sure).

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cleverghost:
okay great! Then I do understand the steps.

Yep, no SDK.

Edit: Going to crash now, ill wake up in a bit and take another crack at it. Thanks for your help so far :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cleverghost:
Alrighty. I woke up again and decided to give it a try from step one. Still a no go. Going to try wiping my drivers again. I've also disabled all antivirus/antimalware....

Looks like its going to be a fun day heh.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
ok keep us updated on how you doing.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cleverghost:
Should I see the nook and sd drives mounting in Windows? Right now, I see the drives, but I can't access them. I don't know if that matters or not.....

Also, when I do an adb devices, mine shows as:

<String of numbers> recovery

Thats correct?

I also took a look at the batch file and might try to run the first few commands to see if I can find where the problem is manually. I have a feeling it's stopping at:

adb wait-for-device

We'll see though.

EDIT: Unless when you run the command it's supposed to not do anything, then yes. It's hanging.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cleverghost:
Alright. Here is what I've found out.

I've done some forum crawling, and I happened upon a post by Loglug where he says to run the following commands:

adb shell mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 /data
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/BCB bs=1 count=1088
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/BootCnt bs=1 count=1
adb reboot

All of the commands work except the second one. It basically echos back and tells me how to use the command. Now, I read a little further into his post and it says that if you do not get the BN recovery after 8 reboots, your recovery partition might be messed up. Could this be what is preventing me from recovering?

EDIT: NEVERMIND! I am up. Sorry, I feel pretty stupid now lol. I just ran the second command wrong -_-. Sorry, my answer was in the forums, just couldn't find it!

Change to update.zip and flash through stock recovery or CWM *STOCK CDMA NEXUS ONLY*

*02/05 update*

For those having issues, try flashing it with CWM using the toolkit in the dev section.

Root not required but bootloader must be unlocked

1. Download the toolkit

2. Put your phone into fastboot mode

3. Open the toolkit

4. Choose the option to "Boot into Clockwork Mod without permanently flashing it"

5. Once in CWM, choose install from SD card

6. Choose install "update.zip" if you renamed it to that. Otherwise, choose the option to choose the file.

7. Viola!

Work In Progress. Will update as I discover more:

Noticeably Faster

Android OS bug fixed (in battery stats)

Long-pressing on a blank spot on the last page of app tray bug is gone

New Radios. 3G/4G switching MUCH better. Don't even notice it changing.

Improved signal strength

New Power Menu. New from 4.0.2, familiar to those who have used a stock 4.0.3 rom. Screenshot here

PRIMELA03 Bootloader

Faster boot up time

Auto-brightness Functionality changed. Smooth transition

Holding down camera button now refocuses again

Multitouch issue seems resolved. Screenshot here

Autorotate is faster

Browser performance noticeably improved

Recent apps list opens faster

Miscellaneous camera UI changes

Stock recovery is looking for the file in the /cache directory. You can't place the file in the cache directory without being rooted. That is why you need to use a alternate recovery like CWM if you are not rooted.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckylui:
Easy way to do this is to backup your root using voodoo OTA rootkeeper, can be found on the market. Go onto your stock 4.0.2 and back up root. Use the OTA 4.0.4 update zip found on the dev section. Rename the installed file to update.zip now go into recovery (still on 4.0.2) and flash the update.zip, make sure its on the root of sd card. Once all the update done. Go to your rootkeeper apk and restore your root. Now get rom manger and dl clockworkmod... All done :)

Hope that helps! Its easy as pie.

So this probably means the OTA is coming from Verizon soon then. All I have done is rooted my phone and installed CWM. So I should be able to get the OTA no problem, right?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] czechm8:
You are rooted, so you won't get the ota when it becomes official. If I were you, i'd try Peter Alfonso's stock 4.0.4 rom. That's the closest to stock you will find. Pete does a great job.

I thought if you root, you will still get the OTA as long as you dont use a custom ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Completely untrue. Rooting does not matter when it comes to OTA updates.

Unless you changed to a custom rom, the OTA will still work. After the OTA you'll have to root again (because it resets the root), but that takes 3 seconds.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techbeck:
Looked around some more and CWM will not allow an OTA update to install. The update will download, but the install will fail unless you revert back to stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Its not that clockwork stops you from installing otas. Its rather the act of getting it to stick every boot, that breaks your ota ability. This also depends on the method used.

Different reason, same result.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
Gtalk app also got updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techbeck:
Yea, its easy enough to flash back to stock recovery so I will probably just do that once the OTA comes through. If it already was leaked out...then the OTA should be right around the corner for everyone else. All I have done is root my phone and install a new version of GMAIL. So I should get the OTA no problem.

Not to patient. Just dont have the time right now and there seems to be several ways/posts to apply the 4.0.4 update. I want to make sure whatever way I choose, I will be on STOCK as it would be if I download the OTA.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Technically no.

The biggest deal is getting the ota into /cache. This requires root access. What I did was unlock, and completely stock--

I took a 4.0.2 boot.img that I had pre-rooted, and fastbooted it temporarily. Then I did an adb remount to set system rw, and pushed the ota into /cache/. Then I merely booted to stock recovery and flashed it.
