[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Were you running from internal or SD when it bricked?

Does it boot to CWM on it's own without an sd in the slot? If it does have you tried restoring/flashing a backup?

Reason I say about the backup is I just bricked my own systems on purpose when running from sdcard, it kept gpoing back to CWM after the xloader was returned to it. Restored an original backup and all is well again :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Fatos:
Yes i have had it internally.Not in an sd.

Yes mine doew boot to CWM on its own without and sd in slot. And yes i have tried restoring to re flash back up. Cause i have installed CM7 once and it did run well. But than after installing some programs became slow so i wanted to redo it again. And than i did format all: bootdata, cache, emmc, rom, system,sd-ext.

And then i installet cm7 again and all the installing went well againg . But it just want start cause is missing something in one of the mounts. So what i think is only needed if ill be able to restore the data that is in all those small partitions like emmc. I know that bootdata,and cached gets backed up but i dont know if the orthers are backed up or not.

Thanks for trying to help.

Edit: I have to go to university now. But if it would make it easier for you to help, I can shot a video afterwards with all the steps what i have done and how is my nook behaving now.Just let me know .

Edit1: I did try to restore to stock or update to 1.4.1 but it tells me MD5 mismatch.

Is it possible that i can push in with adb the files that are in the boot data, eMMc and other mounts i mean one by one.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scsione889:
I was running internal when it bricked. Only boots to cwm from SD now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] joelee100:
I'm in the same boat...I think when we did a format of the rom partition, we lost some data that was not backed up...That being said I have done a lot of reading and I think all hope is not lost.

We did not format the "factory" partition which from what I have been reading may contain a backup of the "rom" and other partitions.

I wonder if it is possible to pull the data from the factory partition, extract the data that we need and then push the appropriate files back to where they belong? It's way beyond my expertise, although I do have ADB working and I think if someone could point us in the right direction, it wouldn't be that difficult...I could be completely off base though...Good Luck and If I make any progress I'll make sure I pass the info along.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ElectroMike:
Need help!

I got the bloody ADB issue.... :( I was able to boot to CWM from SD card, and it's mounted. BUT! Adb devices gives me nothing, no device. I did all the troubleshooting of the driver, i got the "Android composite ADB interface" device but still no adb device appearing. Please help! My only idea if this fix can be incorporated into a flashable zip. May be there is some other way?

Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scsione889:
That's exactly what I've got. I'm going to spend a little time on fixing that up today. ADB just won't work through CWM for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
I had thought about a flashable zip. I will look shortly and build one :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scsione889:
I tried repartitioning my nook and it really bricked it now. It won't boot from SD. Tried a different card and fresh download of CWM. I think it's totally borked.

Edit for clarification: repartitioned from within CWM on SD

Edit2: Tried a 3rd card (first 2 were 32gb, 3rd was 16gb) and it let me back into CWM. ADB still isn't working though.

Edit2 clarification: I only say ADB isn't working because the brick fix says device not found. If I'm wrong please feel free to correct me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Fatos:
Mne does not say that but it restarts my nook. But it does not fix it. I think its just some small starting files missing. But im not so good so i cant help it. So im just sitting and watching around internet if there is any fix. It looks that they have had the same problem with NC to start with to.

Ubuntu Fix

After som PM with Celtic . He adviced me to try the ubuntu 10.10 methon like discribed in this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1470910 by AdamOutler. So im gona give it a try.

Cant get worse than this can it ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
its' the only thing I can think of with you having formated every single partition on your device!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scsione889:
So assuming this works (and I can see why it should in theory) I'll then be able to install CWM and then CM7 from the backup (at least in theory). Correct?

As long as this train of thought is correct I'll give it a shot right away. I'll have a computer running Ubuntu in front of me in about an hour anyways.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Yep that's correct.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scsione889:
Ok, my buddy is on his way with a laptop running Ubuntu. I'll try it on there and report back.

Any ideas why ADB isn't working through CWM? I am 99% sure it's not a driver issue since I've tried it on 2 different computers (one with a fresh win7 install). What a pain. Haha.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Fatos:
Half bricked nook heheh

I got ubuntu its starting. So far so good.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
are you just flashing the xloader or doing the whole Ubuntu thing because you formatted every partition ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scsione889:
I'm just going to do the whole thing. I'm pretty sure I hosed the whole thing while I was screwing around trying to fix it.

Edit: Working on building the SD now (currently downloading the files). I should have an answer shortly.

Edit 2: Ugh. This thing is taking FOREVER to create the SD (more like I'm just not as patient as I should be). Haha. I have a pretty slow microSD to USB adapter.

Edit 3: This is a pain. Ubuntu boots on the tablet but the recovery doesn't start. Time to troubleshoot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] joelee100:

Thanks Celtic...But I'm in the same boat as Fatos...I'm holding off on AdamOutler's boot into Ubuntu and delete and overwite everything process with all zeros...He even says in his instructions that he doesn't mess with the ROM partition...

I think we need the data that resides in the factory partition (For those that formatted the rom partition with CWM recovery)...

I don't think CWM messes with the factory partition and I hope the data we need is there... it wasn't an option in CWM to format factory partition...

Thanks for everyone's hard work...:)...If I'm wrong and a DEV wants my Nook Tablet...It's all yours...:)...It does still boot into internal loaded CWM
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
We should be able to pull any required partition and create image to flash back into a device that has CWM, if they’re only formatedt then data can be put back.

It is possible to do I'm sure, just too busy at the mo sorry
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] joelee100:
Thank you Celtic and everyone else that has spent so many hrs...:)

...but doesn't the rom partition contain device specific data that is unique to each individual device? Serial numbers and such..., So if someone accidentally formatted the rom partition in CWM,.. being that particular partition contains unique data...maybe it creates a problem?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ElectroMike:
Still no go with adb... Celtic, Indirect, anyone, please, create a flashable zip with this fix. It would be a perfect solution. Pleeeeaaase... :-(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scsione889:
After all this time jacking around I found out my microSD -> SD adapter was on its way out. That's probably what caused my problems in the first place. I'll have to pick up a new adapter over the next couple days and see if that fixes it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ElectroMike:
I don't understand why Celtic won't post here the link to the flashable zip which he created. Anyhow here it is http://goo.gl/YCfuo
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Fatos:
Dident work for me. Has anyone tried it so far.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ElectroMike:
This flashable zip worked as a charm for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Mainly cos I didn't think it right to post on xIndirects thread with an alternative. He was good enough to step in and create a fix for people so I didn't want to step on his toes :)

[General Questions and Answers] xDarkShadowx:
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the main differences between sbfs and fastboot files?

I've observed that they both seem to be complete images of stock code on the device but fastboot files are contained in a .xml folder containing images of everything (and appear separately once in the .xml folder) while SBFs seem to be one file that can't be broken up.

Are the only differences the file endings and that fastboot files can be separated?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] ydaraishy:
fastboot files are complete images of what should be in various memory partitions, not XML files or "XML folders" (whatever they are). SBF files have the same, but it's one file for multiple partitions.

fastboot is restricted to flashing few partitions, while SBFs can usually flash inaccessible partitions.

fastboot is an open protocol, SBF is not, and SBF is not an open file format either.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am trying to fix someone's phone that flashed that international version. The only place you can tell its ICS is in Settings. CM9 will be where its at. We still need the damn official update so we can have 4g though. ICS didn't become my daily on my Nexus until the first source build with 4g dropped

Yup. Tried everything except Heimdall. It is frustrating to hear the "beep" when I plug it into my laptop and not get anything else to happen. I gave it my first week on the east coast and it just doesn't look doable. It wasn't for lack of effort. I was hitting people up left and right for ideas on GTalk. Looks like its getting shipped back tomorrow unless there's a miracle tonight. I only had it a week guys...and I did just get here from California ...cut me some slack geez! Lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
Doubt it will look this much like GB. They better give us a more tasty looking ICS!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Don't doubt it...when I first turned on her phone I thought it was Gingerbread until I hit "Settings" of course I couldn't open any apps but the Homescreen looked damn near identical to what stock does now with some different color icons. It didn't even have the blue clock and icons in the status bar. Pulldown bar looked the same, etc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
Yea this is old news BUT it is still great for us. Once Samsung drops that ugly TW version of 4.0.3 for us, we will just rip out all the drivers and pop it into the AOSP version and be done with it.

Hey Corleone. I have not heard of anyone trying to put a stock or as close to stock ROM/zip on an sd and using astro or es file exp rename it update.zip. Move it to internal and try flashing it through stock recovery. If you have tried this plz tell me what happened or the errors it gives ya.

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

I would prolly need about 5 int flashed epic's to try to convert my vibrant setup. And Prolly most would die for sure. The boys at mobiletech vid's are keeping mum on there files. I have tried to see if they would let me take a look at the files but they say no thanks.... Punkasses....I have no clue if my rig can flash a et4g.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Nice!!!Now thats thinking outside the box indrid. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrispyCritter:
Exactly.

I was about to say the same thing. Looks identical to GB. What is up with that?! Perhaps just due to the TouchWiz UI? When we finally start seeing some ICS mods here on XDA, I really hope we get the new ICS UI rather than our "old tired" TouchWiz stuff.

Following the video walk thoughs of rooting and installed TWRP.

I got the KF rooted successfully without issue, but the issue came when I went to install TWRP.

I got to the point where I ran the run.bat and then chose option 5 to install recovery. It download the recovery, and pushed it to the device. I watched it restart which it hung on the yellow triangle.

At this point the tutorial said to reinstall the drivers by running the .bat provided - that worked and it continued. I tapped "Reboot" on the KF. The script continued a bit further and the device rebooted and now it's stuck on the yellow triangle AGAIN. ADB refuses to respond and the drivers seem installed properly. I closed out the command prompt from the script because it was just hanging there.

Edit:

Device Manager shows Android Debug Bridge with an exclamation on it, claiming "This device cannot start".

Any idea what I should do at this juncture?

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] akira02rex:
Ok, think I fixed it.

I found this trick:

"If you end up stuck at the yellow triangle, in KF Utility select Boot Normal, wait for it to say <waiting for device> and then press and hold the power button 20 seconds until the fire turns off, then when its off turn it back on. This sometimes happens, I have yet to find a clean solution "

Now, it booted back up.

At this stage, is TWRP installed??? I don't want this happen again LOL.
[Kindle Fire General] Jpakozohl:
Had a similar problem as you, my drivers messed up going into fastboot on the Kindle Fire Utility and it hanged on boot.

If your fire displays the triangle on bootup that means Kindle Fire Utility has replaced the bootloader, which it does anyway before installing TWRP, so my guess is you're fine...

I'd wait for someone more experienced to answer as well though just to make sure.
[Kindle Fire General] Smmoph:
Mwa exp. is definite not. So for mental ease I use only cmd prompt to do just the essential [ie.] adb device+ rtn key, and the like. God forbid I hit something that means solder a cable pin for connectivity after removing case rear enclosure on chasis, locate the ;X' chips, AND use extreme caution at this point. ...Still works don't fix it. Use alternate route.

[General Questions and Answers] Lock-N-Load:
So I'm thinking of getting that new badass Linksys N900 given the superb ratings & review and because I have like an 8 year old wireless router. So here are my basic questions.

1. Currently I have a 4 port Lynksys router connected to my cable modem and I have 3 computers hardwired to that. Off the final 4th port I have a Lynksys wireless router which is mounted up higher. I do this as my wireless router does not have enough ports to handle the 3 computers I want hardwired. SO I have always wondered ... am I losing wifi speed by having a wireless router connected to my router?

2. Should I cut that router on router setup out if I go to a new wireless router that has points for hardwired connections?

3. On this new Lynksys do you think it makes a difference - in terms if getting access to farther places in my home AND higher speeds all over the home - if I mount this way up high on a wall versus on my desk?
