CM7 beta bug report

Hello, I can't post to the development forum yet, but I thought the devs working on the next CM7 release for the NT should know about a potential bug. Also, I've only began using an android device about a month ago, so please forgive any noobish remarks. If after reading this, someone thinks it's important for the upcoming CM7 build release, please let someone on the development team know. Thanks.

I've been using an internal install of the beta build since it was released yesterday morning.

Everything has been working, very well, and I haven't been attempting to format sd cards from the device.

I've had one crash of ADW launcher when trying to add a playlist through the music player widget. I had a minor wifi hiccup that required toggling the wifi on and off to resolve. And a crash of the notification bar, when I attempted to click on an email notification message, which resolved by itself, seconds later.

The bug I'm most concerned about happened just about an hour ago. I noticed the battery getting low, so i plugged it in, powered on. It started charging, so i left it alone, a little while later, I looked at it, and the "n" on the charger had changed from orange to green, indicating a full charge. I awoke the nook from sleep to find that it was no longer charging, but that the battery was only about half charged. I unplugged it, and plugged it back in, but the status light was orange for only a second, before changing back to green, and no more charging.

I powered it off, and plugged it it (which of course made it turn back on /facepalm), but then powered it down through the power console as soon as CM7 booted. I has been powered off, and as far as i can tell charging normally, as indicated by the orange status of the charger's indicator. I intend to leave it powered off, and charging, until such time as the charging indicator turns green.

There may be some information here that is valuable to the Developers and you have attempted to articulate everything well.

However, is there some reason you chose to create a new thread instead of posting your issue In This One?

Perhaps the moderators can combine these threads but I'm sure the developers are more apt to look in one thread then trying to chase down multiple ones.

Good luck with your issues.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Birdsbeaks:
Aw crud. Totally didn't see that thread. If a mod could please combine, it would be appreciated.

Maybe the bug thread should be stickied?

I've been having crashing/force closes trying to stream video from sites like youtube.....but with a more mature content....if you know what I mean.

If I'm being too obscure....basically I can't stream porn onto it. Which, imo, is a device-killing bug!

(not really)

On the plus side, it seems like it charges pretty well through a USB connection now, where, if I'm not mistaken, it would not do so on stock. Although I only had stock for like 3 hours before zerging it, so I can't compare it very well....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nocmadman:
I was also sitting up waiting on the release of this and have been running it every since then. the only real bugs I have seen is the unable to install alot of apps from the market as it gives the cant write to sdcard which is documented in the dev forums. my wireless does not seem to drain my battery much at all but the device itself never wanted to go into sleep mode unless I forced it into sleep. I changed the screen timeout and changed it right back and the issue resolved itself. Wireless does commonly go from full signal to 2 bars though but even when at 2 bars the connection seems fine and no loss of speed. as far as apps over 20 meg. the only ones I tried I had the apk file stored on my sd card and installed from there and they all installed just fine.

the device seems way more responsive now and I am absolutely loving it although i do miss the nook reader app itself and the one I downloaded from the market gives ab internal error : exception executing the command when I try and sign in :( Cant wait for the next release alpha or beta I would love to test it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] StridAst:
Go to the "Nook" folder on your sd card, then delete it. then try to sign in on the nook reader. This has worked for others who now have the nook app up and running on cm7
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nocmadman:
Deleted nook folder tested same issue. Uninstalled the app and re installed it and now working thank you so much.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] brentb636:
Mostly I'm seeing the occasional app not installing. Every time it has been because "sdcard is not mounted". Even though it obviously it mounted. Aldiko reader is my current villain in this regard. No Wireless problems, but I changed the advanced settings right away. Interface is nice and fast.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scotthall1515:
Does anyone have any problems with installing games like need for speed
[Blade General] smokeuout:
just surprised theres no way to root without a pc.
[Blade General] saaransh9:
google z4root modified and click the modaco link,it willl root your device.:)
[Blade General] nevrlow:
Which device

Sent From deep space using My htc Sensation
[Blade General] agpoli:
It's for the ZTE Blade.
[Blade General] nevrlow:
Gotcha

Sent From deep space using My htc Sensation
[Blade General] smokeuout:
sorry forgot to mention im on 2.3.5 so no z4root will work
[Blade General] agpoli:
2.3.5? Which one?
[Blade General] saaransh9:
ahhh i think he is using official 2.3 update so he should be gen3 and till have to tpt back to gen2 so hw will get 2.2 and then can root.
[Blade General] agpoli:
I see. Yes, he should revert back to GEN2 and try a ROM based on the 2.3.5 update (Swedish Snow for example).
[Blade General] smokeuout:
let me clarify all of it.....i figured someone woulda had a way to root without using a pc....just a app like z4root or androot....but for gingerbread.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sanflores:
My xperia Mini (ST15) hangs during "Booting Phone..." in wotan client, AND during "Flashing Loader" in flashboot. I have search a lot and I can't find an answer, and the only persons who had the same problem fix it by doing the process again, but I have done it more than 10 times each process but no luck.

I have found doing *#*#7378423#*#* that I have "Bootloader unlock allowed: No" but I don't know if this has anything to do with my problem or not.

Please, give me some advice! Thank you!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] metalrawk:
so what do you want to do with your phone? BL unlock?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sanflores:
I want to reflash the phone with a generic firmware (debranding) But I'm unable to flash it using this two software because it won't start the flashing process...

Is there anything I should do before doing this steps???

Thank you!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sanflores:
Has anyone has at least a though about this???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] metalrawk:
you cant flash generic. you have to sim unlock it first.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sanflores:
The only way to sim-unlock my xperia is by buying and using credits on SETOOL ?

Thank you
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] metalrawk:
yes. by setool or wotanserver. both are paid.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] trikst3r:
Are they both equally effective?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] metalrawk:
yes, i guess, i haven't used any of them since i don't buy branded phones.

Could someone handle me the download links for CM7 Alpha?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jagri44451:
They were taken down to work out some issues.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RadicalAns:
You're better off waiting. They discovered a bug that causes the device to be bricked if you format the SD card. There's a fix for said brick, but it's still something that shouldn't be out in the wild.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scotthall1515:
I was looking for the same thing, so since I don't see anyone posting it I guess its a no on sharing cm7 lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Exactly!. We don't want to put other users Nook Tablets in risk.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scotthall1515:
I see I see
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anothermiler:
Isn't the bug only an issue if you are planning on using the SD Card version? I don't see what the problem would be with the internal version...oh well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
So far yes but truth is that eather with warnings or not people(noobs) could still do it lol so... to put an example i have read of 2 guys who wiped all the partitions :eek: off course they bricked their device (Judge for yourself).

So let devs work, test more and fix bugs, anyway there are some other bugs too and it other features aren't supported yet like Bluetooth, microphone, etc. I personally stay away of alphas but this time i tested support of apps and few other things but nothing major because i know there can be risks.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] porthos75:
The bug is on both versions, and occurs if you try to format/erase the SD Card through the CM7 storage menu. So theoretically as long as you don't do that, you're fine, but I understand the hesitance to share a file that could potentially brick someone's device.

I was using the internal version, and experienced the SD format brick.

After recovering, I've continued to use CM7, primarily because when I tried to go back to the 1.4.1 + root image that's floating around here, I couldn't install market apps anymore. Tablet would reboot every single time I've tried. So I went back to CM7, just reminding myself to never, ever, ever erase the SDcard through the mod.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] C64assembly:
If you are not careful

I have been very cautious and lucky so far. I Rooted my Nook Tab back in late November by following ADB instructions and then applied many different tweaks including build.prop etc. All directions in these forums must be followed explicitly and you MUST have some working knowledge of ADB and a general understanding of how computers work. I have read every post in this forum and spent many hours researching how the devs were trying to circumvent the bootloader using various exploits. I did try to inject the Chainfire 3D wrapper as to be able to play Tegra Games and got caught in a boot loop and had to factory restore. Over all, I have been very careful. I have read in the forum that others have tried to apply CM7 update by trying to flash the cm7.ZIP file. It is very lucky for these people that in Clock Work Mod (CMW) this mode does not format the internal memory, it just writes to the System/app folder or to the folder that is specified inside the zip file. It is easy to get excited around buzz words like CM7 and CM9. But it is important to net let it go to your head and research thouroughly before hack-a-lackin your tablet. I am very grateful that the Devs rethought the CWM flasher and added the hash checksum so that someone with a bad connection didn't flash a partially downloaded file. I have CM7 on my Nook. Luckily, I didnt try to format an SD card with the Nook, I used an external card reader. The most important thing is, the Devs and the End Users are all going down unfamiliar territory. Research is the WORD. Happy Hacking!!!

Okay I have the internal file on my nook but I keep getting that md5 error when I try to flash because I downloaded straight to my nook can someone help me with how to get this restore Rita work
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Unzip it on your PC. If you are in CWM, you can go to the Advanced menu and "Mount USB Storage."
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scotthall1515:
Even if I downloaded it on my book tablet first this still will work
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Worked for me ...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scotthall1515:
I put it in usb storage mode transferred the file from my download files to my computer unzipped it and took the file and placed it in the cwm restore folder went to restore and tried to flash and still got the md5 mismatch error please help
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rootierootie:
please disregard
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chuna004@hawaii.rr.com:
I believe you need to unzip straight to the SD on your nook.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scotthall1515:
So when you extract it you do it directly to the cmw folder okay ill try that
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
The path is: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/NTCM7

It Means:

First you need to have clockworkmod/backup folders if you don't have them then create them (case sensitive)

Second drop the NTCM7 folder not the NTCM7_Beta.zip nor the _MACOX folder.

I smell a brick coming. Please be careful. It appears that you may be fairly new to this. I often read 5 or 10 posts ahead (in a pertinent thread) before taking action.

Hey I am pretty computer literate and would love to get my hands on the CM7 rom for my Nook Tablet would anyone be willing to pm me a link to it maybe on dropbox or something
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tamathdb:
I'd like a link as well, if it is being allowed by the devs that is. Being a person who has come to this site for nearly all of my guidance for a couple years, i can assure you that my number of posts does not reflect the knowledge i have obtained over that time. I promise I won't bug anyone with nonsense questions. Only ones i believe can help others find solutions and maybe even bring light to bugs that need a fixin.

Please :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mfleigle:
Thanks for telling the file name :D made it much easier to find a download link. I understand the known risks, but I thought the sd-format bug was fixable?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
30 posts in the "Please gimme the link" thread.

I'm supprised so many people are asking when nearly 2000 downloads were initiated from the original links (which kept working for days until I thought to delete it)

I get about 10 Pm a day asking for it too lol

its' always very difficult to decided whether you give something that could potentially cause problems for somebody and then if their experience lets them down they could end up with a tablet that they can't fix without getting somebody else to do it for them.

I hope everyone understands why I reply saying that I can't send it to them :) I just don't fancy people bricking and not knowing how to unbrick.

the next release is almost complete, we thought we'd cracked the market install bug but unfortunately it's still persisting.

Fingers crossed we'll get that one soon too though :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Two weeks, right?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dang69:
It cracks me up that it's still available from a server in China. The Google translations of the conversations about it are pretty wild to this non-Chinese speaker.

Further there are tens of thousands of pictures of NTs running the rom if you were to believe Google search. I'm sure many of them are NCs but still... You guys should be proud!

I know this isn't the thanks thread but maybe I'll get away with it 'cause this is "general"
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
lol yes there were actually something like 300 downloads in China amazingly!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Chaos_Therum:
I really don't care about the brick

I know how to unbrick the tablet and with a little bit of research anyone could learn how to unbrick it and also as I have seen in a million posts nook tablets are "unbrickable"

I need someone with an Android phone to use Titanium Backup and back up Appredeem. I have a kindle fire but that app isn't supported. I have been told if I get the 3 backup files for the app then I can restore it with the data and it will work. I don't have an Android phone so I can't do it myself. If someone is willing to do the backup and send me the files just post here or pm me and I will give you my email. The app is free so this isn't piracy!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planetf1:
Does anyone have any "best practice" recommendations on how to best synchronize address books etc between services, specifically on android.

I have an SGS2 running samsung -- the address book implementation allows for up to 5 contacts to be linked.

I current synchronize with

- google (all my regular address book entries go here - nothing on phone)

- google+

- facebook (I use friendcaster)

- linkedin

- skype

- twitter

Even if I don't sync all contacts from these, I'd like existing ones to be linked

Other services offer address book integration, like lastfm but I skip on these.

Of course the address book only allows linking of 5. Also I'm not sure where, or if this linkage is persisted beyond the phone itself. it's clear as well that a contact could be in > 5 places, even if all my data is clean -- and it isn't, I have some near dups (same person, but two different email addresses in different records)

In the past I've synchronized facebook->google via yahoo import/export.

The list above is close to 5 - but google & google+ being seperate doesn't help.

How can I best consolidate/standardize/clean?

I assume the regular aosp address book doesn't link

tempted to just figure out how to modify the address book to allow for more than 5 (arbitary limit?)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftodude:
hi guys, im sorry i bet you get loads of people sign up just to ask questions.. truth be told ive been following the lightning ROM thread before but i really am right up s%*t alley now i just dont know what else to do.

i had lightning ROM v1-3 and all was great and someone said i should upgrade to ICS.. stupidly i didnt realise it was in development stage, and having it been so long since i did the odin process i forgot what to do so i watched a youtube vid on how to install firmware...

this is where it started to go wrong, and in hindsight i was a pillock!

anyhow i put the phone into download mode as the vid suggested (this method did it by putting the zip file onto the sd card and then installing from the recovery screen, rather than using odin...)

it then asked me to go to some settings and delete them.. one was wipe data/ factory reset. then cache partition, then lastly mount usb storage.

then i proceeded to install from sd card and it never worked.. just kept on giving E: error messages.. and now the phone wont boot up at all and im having the most difficult time putting ANY new firmware on it at all.. ive been trying to go back to lightning ROM 6.1, using odin etc... but it wont get past the <ID:0/006> SetupConnection.. phase :-(

im afraid ive tried several things but nothing has prevailed... the only screens i can see are the recovery screen and the yellow triangle screen when i turn it on. well and truly fubar :-(

does anyone have any ideas please? next time im going to stick to what i know and am happy with and lightning rom was certainly that!

thanks in advance

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Factory reset>Flash stock ROM, you'll find the link with "search".

You still have recovery and download modes - you should be OK.

Follow the instructions in the thread you search for

to the letter.

I'm not being more obtuse than usual by giving you no links - it means you have to read, and the info you glean will stand you in good stead.

its ok i know how to use the search facility.. it does annoy me also when people expect to be spoon fed!

just following the advice in softbricking now.. see if that helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpivk:
Try unplugging you phone and removing the battery for a minute. Then go into download mode and test if it works.

I had the same problem and simply restarting the phone did it for me. I don't know why it got stuck bit it just didn't work. Also disable Kies if you have it and try a different computer if all else fails.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that you should flash a stock rom but other posters already mentioned it. :)

how do you disable kies? i was confused as some people said to download it to help...?
