is it possible to flash i9001 file to i9001 after i9000 firmware

it possible to flash i9001 file to i9001 after i9000 firmware. i had accidently flashed i9000 firmware on i9001 . now i want to flash it back to orginal firmware . is there anyway to rescue it

thanks a lot
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
should be possible, you need to find the oldest possible stock rom and try flashing it with AiresVE.ops , MultiLoader Odin v.4.43
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebojsa986:
This happened to me, someone flashed cm for i9000 on i9001 and it worked for a while but it progressively started crashing, i took that phone and tried flashing stock but never could get pass setup connection in odin 4.43, tried all the variations (driver reinstall, new cable, remove battery, other PC etc) and in a hail marry attempt i managed to flash i9000 stock witch odin 1.83. Phone now works, enters download and recovery mode, but i still cant get past same error in odin 4.43 or flash custom recovery i any way (verification error from update method, adb flash just doesnt stick). ROM manager sees some custom recoveries but i cant enter them, my guess is because of different pit file from i9000.

Havent tried flashing i9001 rom with odin 1.83 because i cant use ariesve.obs from 4.43, i managed to connect to phone with heimdall and download pit, so that kind of connection works. My guess is that if i could somehow create pit file for this phone that works with heimdal i could flash proper stock rom, so im here to ask is it possible and how would i do it ?

I found a boot animation in rom toolbox that i really would like to use but i

can not

get it to work! i have tried it on multiple roms and by manually putting it in system/media and nothing works!!! any ideas?:confused:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Was it named bootanimation.zip when you put it in /system/media?

Did you change permissions after you put it in /system/media?

Which boot animation is it?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bigTINY779:
thanks for the reply! i think this boot looks awesome and would love to be able to use it.

yes it was named bootanimation.zip and i changed permissions and still nothing! i downloaded it right from rom tollbox's bootanimation section. its called droid mix.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Here it is for you: http://www.mediafire.com/?eyh0zzxi50dtjyv

I updated it for 540x960 screen and edited the desc.txt and folders so it works now. Copy to /system/media and set permissions RW/R/R. Reboot and you'll be good to go!

Yes, for the sake of morality they should ask permission. But even so its still opensource and theres nothing wrong with what they do with it. Come on guys, keep the opensource spirit alive.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabry:
Did you set your environment variables to show the path located to your sdk folder? If not, then you need to be in the folder where adb is located in your command prompt.

Go to the Control Panel, and select the System Properties (Windows XP) or System (Windows Vista/7). Select the Advanced settings; Windows XP: Click on the Advanced tab.Windows Vista/7: Click on Advanced system settings on the left. Click on Environment Variables. Under the "System variable" section, you will look for "Path". Double-click on it. In the "Variable values" section, add at the very end the location of the tools & package-tools folder, with a semicolon separating these two paths from the rest, e.g. %SystemRoot%;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.

That is taken from the cyanogen wiki on how to set up adb and android sdk.

No dice

My 8GB NT doesn't boot with your files on my SD.

I have been struggling to get any sort of alternate boot-up working...

I can boot to Cyanoboot (which is useless as I haven't gotten any boot.img to load from it), or... I can get into CWM Recovery with two specific flashing_boot.img and boot.img files.

Nothing else boots properly... the tablet either:

A) Sits there doing nothing with the SD card in the slot

or

B) Boots into Bauwks' Box, and after a couple seconds it reboots.

Your files are (A)... no boot at all.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] continentalglue:
is it stupid to ask what happens if I just place the extracted file directly onto the nook?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jichuan89:
The most likely reason is that you didn't create the boot partition correctly. I had the same symptoms at first, but then I decided to follow the instructions in the linked video to the letter (the instructions are also at omappedia.org/wiki/SD_Configuration), including setting the cylinder count and all that, and I was able to boot everything.

To verify, I just deleted all the partitions on my SD card, formatted it normally using the tablet itself, and copied over the files. The tablet refused to boot; the screen remained black. I re-partition it and format it using the instructions linked above, copy over the files and the tablet boots into the rooting script again.

thanks, seems to work like a charm. couple force closes on twitter for some reason. market accessible, unfortunately the one program i need (HSTOUCH) gets hung up at launch. oh well. progress is good though, great work!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nikiddawg:
Thank you for posting this, especially your video showing how it looks on the 8GB NT. Where I get lost is at step #1 - the video showing how to create the 50MB vfat partition.:eek:

If it weren't for that, which makes my head spin, I'd be more comfortable going for the 8GB NT and tackling this.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jichuan89:
Yeah, that bit is quite confusing. To alleviate that I've created a pre-built microSD card image that you can directly burn to your microSD card without having to go through the weird partitioning and formatting. I've updated the original post with the link and instructions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jichuan89:
Can you try out the pre-built SD card image I've added to the original post and see if that works?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] teddykgb715:
Used the SD image, and it didn't work. Boots up fine both times, but I have no market.

Edit: After watching your video, should I see the box image when using the image? Because that never showed up.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jichuan89:
If you do not see the box, the tablet is not booting from the SD card. Can you elaborate on exactly what you're doing to burn the image to your SD card (i.e., which OS you're using and if OS X or Linux the exact command you're running)?

USB Power for SD hack

If you have properly prepared the SD chip and the NT still boots normally (misses the intercept i.e. no brown box) try it again tethered to a desktop computer with a large power supply. The brand or capacity of the SD chip (as long as it is bigger than the 55MB image) shouldn't matter - they should all work. Laptops, older desktops, and other devices that have small power supplies cause problems with many USB devices. I got no results on my laptop with many different SD chips. Plugged the NT into my desktop and all the chips worked with the hack! Worth a try.

No Go

Everything went smooth. No issues. But doing "Search" then entering "market" takes me to the online android market. And it won't acknowledge my device. So I can install etc but it keeps on telling me to send to another device. As such I can't get the NT Settings app or sideload a 3rd party app. And market does not show up in my Nook as an app. Soooo...yeah. Everything worked like you said, box appeared, gave it two minutes, etc. But its like nothing ever happened. So should I try again? Should the market be showing up elsewhere? Should it acknowledge the device, etc? Could def use a little help. Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggwardo:
When you search you need to swith it so youre searching apps, not the web. Hit the google symbol on the left of the search bar before you do the search.

If market isnt there when you search apps then it didnt work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Almazick:
I installed your method one and everything looks good except Market/Play is missing on the device but SuperUser is installed.

Used WinImage to burn the image from PC to SDcard

inserted SDCARD to NT and plugged in USB cable.

It turned on, showed up a brown box and then "READ Forever", waited 2 minutes.

Turned off the device, removed sdcard and turned it on.

Done it already twice and market is missing from the device by using searching method but superuser and google search shows up in the list.

EDIT: fixed the problem by erasing SD-Card from Nook Tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] illunatic:
Rooting Without SD Card Reader

It seems that the nook likes to erase and format the cards itself. I used 8 GB SanDisk SDHC (which might have been an issue?) Another issue is that I am accessing the SD card device while it is in the nook.

Failure symptoms were that the NT would boot normally after the brown box instead of hanging to copy all the files. No market to be found.

How I got past this: I used fdisk to remove the partitions on the SD card, then I went to n button -> settings -> Device Info -> SD Card -> Unmount SD Card

Then -> Erase SD Card

Now I let the NT format the card as well since I figured it loved its own formatting. I burned the image to the SD card once more.

THIS time, I just removed the SD card before disconnecting the USB instead of "ejecting" it "safely" (no data to lose and if there is no more writing to the card I assume it's not a problem).

Now I powered down, inserted bootable SD card and plugged in USB to boot up again. Brown box and this time it hung on the "read forever" splash screen. I knew it was working then.

Android Market was now available and now I can use irc from my NT. :)

Rooting Problem

I'm new here and have a question about rooting. I got an 8gb Tablet that came with 1.4.2. I purchased this root on Ebay 'Nook TABLET Root Script Kit - Fully Root your device in less than 20 minutes!' being sold by trublupt for $9.99 (apparently I'm not allowed to post links yet). Here's my problem: It installed perfectly fine as a boot from the SD card, not an internal boot from the actual Nook (internal would not work at all). Therefore, I can remove the SD card and the Nook is stock again. I used a brand new SanDisk 16gb card. After following all directions, it made my SD card into a 190mb card instead of 16gb. Now, I am wanting to know if it is possible to keep the CM7 boot files, but return my card to its full capacity. In my ignorance, I cut/pasted the data onto my computer, formatted the card, then returned the data to the card thinking it would still boot. Well, it didn't. So, I just reloaded the root and got back to a rooted Nook. How, if possible, can I get my SD card to return to its full capacity while maintaining the boot data required for CM7 from the SD card? I tried formatting from within the Android OS, and that didn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really want that free space back. Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] syk759:
Yes, I am new...

I searched through the thread and didn't find an answer, so hopefully someone will answer here. After using a microsd card to root, will its extra space still be usable? Also, if it doesn't work out as well as planned, how do you unroot an 8gb 1.4.2 NT? Thanks in advance. And thanks for sharing all the info so far. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggwardo:
Your first problem is that you paid for something that is free. :(

2nd problem is that whatever you bought is likely not what this thread is about.

3rd problem.. well lets just move on.

Step 1 - go to 1st post of this thread

READ IT THROUGH

, and then follow the instructions it lays out.

Step 2 - enjoy rooted nook

Step 3 - curse yourself for paying some a-hole for root

If you haven't followed Step 1 (above) then you are in the wrong thread.

Sorry for all of the sarcasm, i'm feeling saucy today.

On a serious note. I don't think there is a CM7 version that works on the 8gb nook, so i wouldn't try to put that on yours. But I could be wrong. I am also a bit confused about what you're actually doing.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] drymer:
I've only gotten cm7 to work on the 8gb with the sd image, not the internal.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dragonsys:
Thanks! That worked perfectly for me
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nbkcu33:
I was reading this blog and I have noticed that a few people have questioned how to get the micro sd card back to full capacity but none of the very limited replies are working. Would someone please address this issue directly.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggwardo:
I was able to get mine back to normal. I can't tell you exactly how i did it. I tried explaining it somewhere in this thread.

My point is, yes you can, but since i only had to do it once i forgot exactly how.

Another new SD card?

Ive tried a PNY 16GB miro SD HC card and a Sandisk 2GB Micro SD card. No brown box. It loads as normal with or without USB attached.

Does the size of the card really matter? I thought it had to be larger than 55MB? Also, I'm using WinImage not Win32DiskImager.(computer wont let me download win32 for some reason. WindowsXP) In winImage I get the the following:

Boot.img

Flashing_boot.img

mlo

u_boot.bin

I tried to just goto "image" then "extract" to sd card and put it in NT. All this and nothing. Can it really be just the card?? if so how come?

Thanks gents
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Snooze77777:
Kind of goes without saying that the size of the sd card must be large enough to hold the image. Other than that I can't see why the size would matter. I earlier posted that the sd brand shouldn't make a difference and felt that most of the problems might be due to underpowered usb ports as that was my experience. I shouldn't make such a broad assumption based on small sample size results. There are definite differences between cards (read/write speeds & small electrical variances) that could account for one card working and another not. I can't help with Winimage, but can't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to download Win32DiskImager. Make sure you are logged in as administrator and turn off pop up blocker and anti-virus if necessary and follow the instructions exactly.

8GB Nook Tablet - Dual booting from SD Card?

I've been following and reading these threads for just about a month now. Some great stuff from everybody. That said....Am I correct in my understanding that to date, we do not have a reliable way to dual boot the 8GB Nook Tablet (i.e., without tethering, etc.)? I had the NC and was dual booting CM7 from SD Card without a hitch. I returned the NC for the 8GB NT and I find myself searching for a solution and waiting (after several failed attempts at trying to get it to work).

Can somebody please confirm that my understanding of the current status for the 8GB NT is right? If I'm missing something, please let me know and I'll delve in again.

Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AzumaK:
All of that sounds correct to me. There's not much more we can currently do with the 8gb version other than attain root and fix some of the glaring problems like Copy/paste, Homecatcher for alternate launcher... It seems very difficult and unreliable to even try CWM so I'm staying with stock.

As much as my inner hacker wants to go ROM crazy I don't want to return my 8 for a 16 because the tablet does everything I wanted it for. I'd say go for the 16GB version if you don't want to wait! However, since this is my first tab and I didn't have a NC, I can totally see why you'd want to get off stock on NT. Good luck!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nikiddawg:
I will continue to monitor from the wings. I have a Droid Inc 2 and love the Android platform. I really did like the NC running as full blown tablet cuz it allowed me to do all my favorite android stuff on a larger scale. I am not as in love with the current limitations of the NT and only hope one of the greats on here will crack the mystery soon
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tcbeachy:
I have gotten the sd card back to original sixe by putting it into the booted nook and 'erasing' it in the settings menu. You have to unmount it first... of course.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggwardo:
I haven't tried it yet but you can run CM7 from the SD card with the ROM on this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481826 (there is also an option for installing on the NT but that won't work for 8gb right now) That would basically be a dual boot.

I plan on trying this out this weekend, I'll try to remember to PM you with my results. (this thread is getting longer than it should be).

edit: I see that you've already found that thread and posted on it, even though it says not to post questions on it. The answer to the question you ask on there is in the first post.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nikiddawg:
Thanks eggwardo. I did try originally with that method from that link but without success. Would appreciate the PM if you're successful. Good luck!

UPDATE: So I tried from the beginning, using a Kingston HD 8GB card: 1) used SD formatter and did a complete Full Overwrite; 2) used mini tool partition wizard and created two 4GB partitions (which I think I did wrong since the card is now showing up only as 189MB FAT 32 total of which 3.50MB is used and 186 is free???); 2) downloaded the Team-B CM7 Alpha zip file to the desktop and wrote it to the disk with Win32diskimager.

When I booted without tethering and the SD card in the NT, it went right to the NT OS. I then tethered it to the PC and rebooted and it went into Team-B CM7 (YEAH!!!!). I downloaded all kinds of apps from Play Store (dumb name) and put it through the paces.

While it was running CM7, I unplugged it from the USB cable and I continued to use it wihout a hitch.

Re-booted untethered and went back into Nook OS.

Summary: It's gotta be tethered (even if just for a few seconds during the initial boot) to initially enter CM7 but once it's running, no need to keep it plugged in. To experiment, I've unplugged it as soon as that first "N" shows up and before the Team-B intro page shows and it goes to CM7. You can put the NT to sleep just don't power it off. Once you power it off, when you turn it on again, unless you're tethered, you're back to stock NT OS.

Is that everybody else's experience?
