[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Burn term is used to say record a file(s) into a storage device like cd, sdcards, usb flash memory, etc.

In Android, well linux operative systems in general an image is a file with the extension .img that you can "burn" into a micro sdcard to make it bootable with an operative system (Android, Ubuntu, etc) or other stuff like scripts to un-brick, repartition your device for example.

I'm not familiar with MAC but i know that dd command is the same for linux, windows and MAC.

Using your same example: dd if=NameOfNookieFroYoImage of=/dev/disk# bs=1m

NameOfNookieFroYoImage: will be the complete path to the file with the .img extension that you want to "burn" into your micro sdcard.

/dev/disk#: will be the path of your mounted micro sdcard. ** Pease be carefull in this part because if you instead of your micro sdcard put your hard drive you will be screwed. **

Make sure to format your micro sdcard before burn an image into it.

i cant download the parted binary.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
parted binary is already in the file system for nook tablet. just access it through adb. i don't remember exactly which folder its in but its there somewhere.... start looking in the system folder and work your way there.

its good to know basic linux commands for this.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] panicinduced:
hello again.. i haven't gone through the step you just provided but i forgot to mention that i deleted the cache in cwm ( as well as delvik cache). does this mean that i need to follow a different step? i will also try this in windows (last resort) if i'm having troubles following the instructions for mac.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] panicinduced:
hello, i still cannot do this. i'm attaching a screenshot of my desktop as well as my terminal window. please help :( as you can see, it's still giving me an error that says no such file discovery. the .img file is on the desktop just below the terminal window. i don't know why it can't see it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
You need to specify the FULL path specification to the files, such as..

/folder1/folder2/folder3/.../NameOfNookieFroYoImage

It is not finding the file because it is looking in whatever is the current folder (and the folders in the path), and that is not where the image is located.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] panicinduced:
thanks for your fast reply. i was able to do this and i was successful in burning the image to my sdcard. i plugged in the sdcard back and waited for about 4 minutes to make sure it'll be copied to the device. after waiting, i turned off the tablet, removed the sdcard and then opened the tablet but it's stuck in the read forever mode for about 20 minutes. i turned it off again, plugged the sdcard back, then waited for it to boot and it's stuck in read forever mode again. tried to boot to cwm mode, cwm mode is gone. i am guessing that i did something to the nook's partition, or somehow the stock got damaged or deleted. what should i do at this point? i feel that i'm finally making progress. except that i can see most instructions in windows again. i tried to follow this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1570022

however when i dragged the files into my sdcard, it says not enough space! how can it be when my sdcard is 16GB? it says only 40MB left. that's weird. i opened the sdcard and it only has 5 files i think in there (the files that i burned the img file into).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
This is getting beyond me to figure out.

If you are sure the "of=" (output file) specification pointed to the sd card device and not the internal, then you should not have done anything that damaged the internal ROM.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
your sdcard was partitioned to be small because you burned an image to it. you can restore it later on.

what image did you burn to your sdcard? a bootable cwm recovery? usually in order to boot from sdcard, you need to have the tablet off, insert the sdcard and plug in the usb cable thats attached to the ac adapter. usually that will turn on the tablet and make it boot from sd card. if it doesn't boot from sdcard then you must have incorrectly burned your sdcard.

hope this helps. your main goal right now should be to get into cwm recovery, but after messing around with it so much, your problems might have gotten worse than they were before...

EDIT: after looking at your initial post about your problem, it looks like you may have had a faulty sdcard. you said that android secure could not be read and the fact that you couldn't install from a zip furthers that theory. however in cwm there are two different types of install from zip, one from an external storage and one from internal storage. it looks like you chose the one from internal storage at first and then chose the one with external storage...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] panicinduced:
i was also thinking about my sdcard being faulty, but then i found a way to it using windows (view hidden folders) and found a chunk of my old files there so i deleted it and my sdcard is back to its original size. the image that i used came from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1529553 as recommended by lavero.burgos would you recommend me following the instructions for restoring the internal partitions of my tab? do you think my tablet can still be fixed or has it really been completely bricked?

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

by the way i forgot to mention that my internal storage for nooktablet does not appear on the desktop anymore as opposed to having 2 drives when it was still working (the sdcard storage being the other). so that's why i assumed that i damaged the partition of my tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] panicinduced:
Update: well my sdcard stopped working completely after plugging it back to my mac. i dont want to keep on troubleshooting any further. It's too much trouble and confusing.i give up. If anyone wants this tablet just send me an email, provided u can fix it so it'll be a give away. Only 4mos used. thing is i live in the philippines so you need to shoulder the shipping and handling costs. Selling this dirt cheap, instead of throwing this directly in my trash. Thanks anyway to those who attempted to help.

I need help with my nook tablet please

I have a 16g Nook tablet. This is where I'm at with it. I can use an sd card and boot into cwm. I can also boot from sd card and run cm7, but it is terribly slow and very buggy, even with a new 8gb class 6 sd card. I believe the partitions are messed up and have to be fixed. I can get my computer to see "Nook Tablet /!\" but once I install the drivers (I have installed the older ones and the newer ones with the same result) "Nook Tablet" goes away and "Android Phone" pops up and under this heading is listed "Android Composite ADB Interface". This is all done after clearing all the usb mass storage and such devices using USBDview. By the way this is being done while the tablet is in CWM so I can't check or uncheck USB debugging. Can someone please help me with this? Tell me what I should do and how to do it. I was going to do what it says in the first step of this thread, but don't know how to use DOS very well. Any help would be much appreciated.

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

One more thing, what its doing when trying to boot up is "N" screen then "Please dont turn off device..." then the red exclamation point screen saying to try again or contact customer service.

I am trying to do the fix that this thread is about however I am unable to get ADB properly working. As of now when I do adb devices it does not see any devices so clearly my nook is not set up right for some reason. Any ideas would be great. the klindle is in CWM when I try to do the ADB

Boot Loop

I recently tried to reflash my Nook Tablet 16GB to the latest version of the CM10 alpha, from 0.06 to 0.08.1. Unfortunately, the update may not have downloaded correctly due to the wifi + charging + stand-by = unmount bug.

When the new ZIP was flashed, the tablet will not longer boot past the CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.8 . If the charger is plugged in, it will reboot a few times and then boot into Recovery. Otherwise, the screen will briefly illuminate, and then go black and off.

I've tried flashing various ZIPs through the Recovery panel, but none have had any effect. If I attempt to boot from SD (formatted using instructions from some of the SD recovery threads), it simply redirects my to the internal SD's CWM bootloader.

I suspect that the partition table is corrupted. However, it seems that my only option is to issue commands via Fastboot, which appears to run from Recovery. Unfortunately, ADB/Fastboot on my PC cannot seem to find my Nook Tablet . I've tried installing the USB drivers but Windows 8 rejects the included CAT files, saying that the hashes are missing and that they may have been tampered with.

I'm pretty smart, and tech savvy, but I'm getting worried that nothing will work. Help?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] akshya11235:
It is the same for me.

The driver is not installing at all for the tablet.

This is what I am trying to do:

Created a CWM SD card from this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25786947&postcount=1

Then I booted the NT in CWM through the cynoboot and loaded the sdcard recovery

Then I plugged it into the PC

Went to device manager and tried to update the driver

The driver installation failed by saying the driver is not valid.

Is there a step I am missing?

help?

Hello all,

Hoping someone can help.

I have bricked my nook, at first it was stuck at the "restart the nook and try again screen" and would only boot into SDcard with CWM on it. I tried installing stock NT roms with CWM, wouldn't boot into it, keep getting "restart nook..."

Now I have internal CWM and it only boots to it, wouldn't boot past it, even after installing CM7.

adb does recognize(using ubuntu on virtual machine) the device and followed this post with the parted commands. Here is what I see:

+1000.

this is exactly where i'm at with my NT. it comes up as android phone in windows, adb will not recognize my device no matter what i do (comes up empty when i type adb devices), i can only get into sd version of cwm but get the 4 or 5 error messages at the bottom about not being able to access recovery folders, and when i turn it on with no sd card in, i go to the installation screen with the red exclamation point. i've tried a lot of things and believe it is the partition tables, but cannot get adb to recognize to push the parted commands. i've tried every driver listed in every thread, bounced back and forth between "nook tablet" to "android composite interface" to "usb mass storage device" any help would be greatly appreciated. 16GB btw. thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pournstarr:
ok i downloaded an external cm10 image and tried to start it from the sd card, but it gets stuck at the swirling cyanogenmod logo. i formatted the partitions when it was working and i'm pretty sure thats why i'm stuck here. i've tried everything to get this working, including the flashing of partitions 1-4 & 6 in cwm, and that said successful, but when i try to install b&n 1.4.2 after that, it just gives me the red exclamation mark with the message to contact b&n. plus i still get the unable to mount recovery cache messages in cwm.

its possible the reason the adb isn't working is that i never turned on usb debugging when it was working properly, but now that i can't get into any version of cm, how can i enable it? i do see it in windows like i said, just when i run adb devices it comes up empty... so i can't partition anything manually. only thing i can get into is an sd mounted version of cwm.

sorry for the thread hijack and i know this is the general forum and not the q&a forum, but i've run out of options here and appreciate any help. thanks.

When I run the parted it only see my sdcard partitions...doesn't error out but like I said it only sees my sdcard partitions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] towir022:
I know I am missing something dumb

Let me give some more info. I go into adb type adb shell then simply put in the code parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print and it talks about gpt tables and asking if this is a gpt partition table.

I extracted those parted files which are named 0, 1, 2, 3 or whatever I put those files just on a blank micro sd card and stuck it in the nook. When in adb do I first have to mount the external sd card? Or do I have to tell adb where those 0 1 2 3 files are located or something for this to work?

Here is a pic of what I have going on. I am not sure if I am doing it right. I dont even think adb or the nook knows that there is an sd card in the slot or that there are important files on it for that matter.

I attached a picture of where I am at with adb

Wow, after so much time I am lost

I installed CM7 a LONG time ago on a Nook Tablet. I honestly don't remember the steps I had taken but it completed successfully. I then lost interest in my NT and gave it to my wife. She used it quite often and eventually she didn't charge it and it went dead. Upon re-charging it, it would start, I would see the CM7 logo then it would stick on that Team B logo.

Now, I have CWM Recovery installed internally and it keeps booting to that.

I tried this SD image and instructions http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/

But that did not work. I don't get a green check mark and it just says "Rebooting in 5 seconds" then it never starts up again.

I hate to sound like such a noob because I obviously got involved in this before but now I am totally lost.

Can someone please give me step by step instructions (even if you have to point to other posts on how to install ADB since I don't even remember what that is), on how to get this NT back with CM7 or whatever the latest stable version is? I tried following this thread but it assumes that the reader has already done things, and I haven't. I'm basically starting from scratch with a bricked NT.

I should also mention, I have changed PCs and have never hooked the NT up to this particular computer. I no longer have the one I originally used.

Again, I apologize, I'm usually not this noobish.

To fix a boot loop to Recovery, I'd suggest that you use SDcard-based CWM to flash flashable_fix_bootloop.zip from https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwFA9QwlHuiIUEJrM19RaFJBMk0/edit (click on File->Download to download).

If you'd like to flash the most recent & stable CM, I'd suggest you try Succulent CM10.0 build dated 12/31 posted at http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/.

To create a SDcard CWM recovery for flashing flashable_fix_bootloop.zip, you can adapt the procedure outlined at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35669871&postcount=1, but:

substitute in flashable_fix_bootloop.zip in steps 2(c/d)/7/8; and,

skip step 6.

I can get to the Boot Menu using this method but the menu will not let me select SDC Recovery.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
In step 2(b), did you rename cwm_6012_sd.img to recovery.img before copying it to the SDcard /boot partition?

If you are going to use the CWM SDcard only to flash flashable_fix_bootloop.zip, you can also just rename cwm_6012_sd.img to boot.img in which case Cyanoboot would just boot into CWM.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GeekyMaestro:
Yeah I did all those steps. I can get it to boot to CWM on the SD card, but the options to run recovery or anything else from SD are faded out. Only internal options are available. I'm losing hope on this device being functional. There may be a faulty hardware issue here.

If you lost your phone, they already have your account from the accounts & sync screen. And all of the current apps on the phone you're signed in to (sooo disabling this feature ITT won't fix your problem). Not to mention that they have everything else on the phone you should be worried about. When you lose your phone, you can instantly log into the computer and change your password etc.., but you can't get back the phone or data.

Put a passcode on your phone. Problem solved.
