Successfully restored MIUI backup... what next?

YES!

@Veronica, I have been able to restore your MIUI backup!

I am not sure what it is... it looks like for a phone.... but it seems Market is working :) YEAH! 1st time on this Nook!!!!

Veronica you are a queen !!!

May I ask you what should be my next step now?

As a reminder, I basically want to get here Kindle (because I bought this Nook for Xmas for my Mozambican husband without realizing B&N does not have any Portuguese books, while Amazon does) and a few more apps I like. So this would do! But I d like make sure:

- my system is more or less stable

- I don't get messed up with more OTA updates

So I wonder:

- is this system recommendable? This is rooted, right? Should I prefer Launcher or Zeam Launcher here?

- should I rather use another system? Go into CM7?

Since I dont have even any Nook here behind, I am afraid of more troubles following the normal procedure, should I?

- Do I need at all to set the normal version of Nook behind (like I could use with the Nook button app) - in fact, I don't really care...

HELP PLEASE!!!! Nook 8Gb!

Can somebody help me? I bricked my nook tablet 8Gb!!

This is the whole story:

1) Rooted my NT

2) Used this apk to install CWM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1458630

3) Tried to flash CyanogenMod 7 ROM but while it was flashing the tablet blacked out and rebooted

4) Now the tablet is stuck at the READ FOREVER screen

5) I can boot in CWM holding power+N button, but it can't flash anything, it freezes anytime I try to flash something.

6) I followed these 2 guides to unbrick my NT but they didn't work

Can anyone help me restore my NT at least to stock???

Please I'm desperate!!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] agnes00777:
@JohnDorian, Seems you got very similar problem to mine...!

It seems we got the same problem trying to do the same thing... So the same solution may work? (the only difference beeing I have not tried the unbrick mehods you did)

What I just did with Veronica's guidance, and worked for me:

- I created a 50MB sd card to boot into CWD, using this

- booted into CWM with it

- copied onto another SD card the MIUI backup Veronica provided earlier in this thread:

http://minus.com/mwIltnw1I/4f - NT_MIUI_Tweaks_backup.zip | md5: 3518f9a3289ca6e97b569777873b899b

- inserted it and did restore. It just worked and provided something that seems acceptable!

And at least, next steps may be possible...

I hope it works with you too!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JohnDorian:
Thank you for your answer!

Will this work also with my 8Gb NT?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Hello im glad to see you're back, about launchers, addons & apps it all depends of your likes.

What i gave you is MIUI ROM (operative system) without major modification (as-is) and yes it has zeam launcher but all can be modified.

I'm personally not a fan of gingerbread CM7 because i really like the eye candy of MIUI and even stock (which the buttons and menus are very similar to MIUI) so i use MIUI.

About stock i didn't mind using it even though i don't use B&N application and buy books from them buy i enjoyed the eye candy (interface/GUI), now that @cobrato released MIUI i immediately switched to that as im a huge fan of MIUI.

I have always used GO launcher as my main launcher but now im starting to use ADB in MIUI because it manages better the grid feature.

All systems you're going to find already come rooted which is standard and is the feature #1 of custom and stock ROMs, without root there is no fun. If you're in this community is because eather you have a rooted device or you came to learn how to root it and other stuffs.

If you like B&N stock ROM but don't use their apps and services you can bypass the registration and forget about the OTA updates, you can also apply on top of that the OTA block with titanium backup if you want to make sure. That is the methods i used and never ever had a problem. I also recommend you that when you flash a stock ROM do the whole procedure of OTA block and don't guess is already blocked, nothing better than do it yourself manually.

If you decide you want to make use of B&N services then you can eather go back to stock for a complete B&N experience or just install their app from the market if you're on CM7, CM9 or MIUI that is, nothing fancy but it does the job.

I have mentioned days ago that i was going to make a thread for MIUI users with how-tos and info about set it up but i've got very busy with many bricked devices around lol, but i eventually will do.

I don't have a 8GB nook tablet to upload a backup of stock ROM and actually is very important to have nobody has been nice to upload it and post it in development section. Anyway let me give you the link of the official update to see if that helps, i was checking yesterday and they provide one for both i think there is not a separate section for the 8GB model so i assume that update is for both models containing 1.4.2

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JohnDorian:
How can I flash this update?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
right you dont know how, ok let me download the file and see if i make a kind of acclaim_update.zip for you to try.

can't flash any rom as a flashable.zip and backup folder? have you tried both?

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JohnDorian:
No, I can't flash anything from CWM...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
alright then, im downloadinf the file will check it later an make a bootable acclaim_update.zip, hopefully works.

Check back later...

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JohnDorian:
Thank you very much for your help!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
ok i checked the nooktablet_1_4_2_update and it has exactly the same structure than the acclaim_update.zip so now:

* turn off your nook tablet

* remove your sdcard

* place it in a card reader

* put it i your PC

* copy the file turn off your nook tablet to your empty sdcard (format it if possible, must be empty)

* safely unmount your sdcard from PC

* put it back in your tablet

* turn your NT on

* pray for it to flash stock

... report back

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] agnes00777:
MIUI on, and how to go ahead

So now Veronica's MIUI is on and in fact, working quite well :)

I have set GoLauncher on it, and it has Button Savior

What I like about it:

- Market (Google Play) works from the 1st place

- It (or Veronica's backup) has built in apps and systems that make tasks easy without adding many more apps. The file explorer is great, the settings complete, ...

- there is a built in recovery mode on reboot, to go in CWD

- It is quite flexible, fast

What I don't like so much:

- The button savier soft buttons are useful, but not very well integrated into the interface (must overlap something else on the screen). I wish I find something better...

- some people say it is not as fast as CM7

There are still a few things I wonder and would ike Veronica your advice:

- Would it still work to use one of the methods proposed on this site to have CM7 on a SD card?

- I dont have more Nook system, but have Nook app, however it seems I would not be able to use Nook interactive books for kids....

- Is there any better alternative to this Button savior?

Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Sure there is , I use Smooth instead, there is a free and payed version which I own and I love it..

It is based on gestures so all you have to do is move your finger at the very bottom of the screen to go back, home or menu.

About CM7 running from sdcard I have never got interested about it, I have see some users have had issues too. But if I were to try, I would do it with a 32GB with min. class 4, preferably class 10

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
anyone have a flashable stock 8gb NT image? i am stuck in CWM and CM7 refuses to install...

thank you
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
Hey, Veronica, what can I do when every ROM I try to flash gets stuck at "Installing update"? And that stock image you linked to.... I downloaded that as well, but upon booting the tablet doesn't seem to find it I didn't change the name, and the card was freshly formatted.... What can I do?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SolBrando:
I'm SORRY if this question has been answered before but I can't find it anywhere.

I had my NT repartitioned at the BN store- big regret! If I restore back to stock, will that undo what they did? In other words, will my NT be once again configured to 1GB for personal media?

I'd really like for this to happen and am wondering if this is the simple way to go about it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
No it won't, repartitioning is something permanent unless you mess up with the partitions manually or run @meghd00t's repartition image from sdcard and similar for that purpose.

i'm newbie

after rooting the nook tablet, i can install apps from apk files, and i also have google play store, i have new launcher, ....

i think that's good.

but what is cm7 or cm9 about?

i found that cm7 is "android 2.3", but the nook tablet running android 2.3 already.

so what's the difference?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Aleq:
Hi.

Rooting stock (the original firmware/ROM from Barnes & Noble) gives you only root permissions and perhaps some tools. Everything else stays and you need to do (uninstall/update/install) by yourself. Many things can be achieved, but not everything. It's simply still their customization of Android 2.3 gingerbread.

Cyanogenmod 7 is on the other hand completely clean installation of Android 2.3, without any Barnes & Noble changes, just with some Cyanogenmod team's improvements. This gives you all android possibilities, esp. compared to b&n's android, which was never meant to be a full tablet. To be more specific, with latest Cm7 on nook you get accelerated video playback, more configuration options, themes, chainfire 3D driver, stock android applications, etc.

Cyanogenmod 9 has the same idea behind, it's just on top of Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich. It is not yet as mature as CM7 on nook yet.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emilycloud:
Is there a commend to display which bootloaders I'm running? I've seen people say you can tell by which screens appear when booting or which buttons you have to press to get into recovery but I am looking for something more definitive or precise. Thx.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
That is the only method, so you're best bet is that way -_-
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emilycloud:
Which metod? My Captivate does not show the Galaxy X screen when it boots up and to go into recovery mode I have to push both the volume up and volume down buttons and the power buttons. Which bootloader does that mean I'm running?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
I897. Now which ROM are you running?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Here's the checklist:

First boot screen:

Black with "Galaxy S I9000" logo = i9000 bootloaders

White AT&T World Phone logo = i897 bootloaders

On a Gingerbread rom? You're using Gingerbread bootloaders

On an ICS rom? You're using Gingerbread bootloaders

On a Froyo rom? You could be on GB or Froyo/Eclair bootloaders. You'll have to remember whether you've ever flashed the GB bootloaders.

Or, you can just flash the GB bootloaders (i9000 or i897) and know for sure.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emilycloud:
So, according to both of you my bootloaders are I897 (I didn't know I897 had anything to do with bootloaders!). I am running Doc's Master ICS V5 Final. I realize that theoretically you have to be using GB bootloaders to run ICS but I thought you could use the wrong bootloaders and just have a buggy phone. My broadband version starts with I9000 though. Is that unrelated to my "I897" bootloaders? Thanks for helping me learn!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
The i9000 part you see is your modem which is required when using AOSP ROM (CM7, CM9, MIUI) Unless you want to use Nexus S modems. So yes you have I897 bootloaders. What ROM were you on before you flashed any ICS ROM?

@jmtheiss you don't have to have GB bootloaders to run ICS... Many people are too scared to flash them and don't want to.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Good to know. I thought that there might be a chance it was similar to the cm7 requirements.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
I never knew CM7 required GB BL's....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
lol scared to flash bootloaders... i flashed bootloaders 3 times on my two cappies the other day without palm sweat like i used to back in the day... lol running i9000 bootloaders with custom boot image now on both cappies. no more sleep death with Deep idle and liveOC!!

oh hey if going to ICS (which you will now or later) probably best to flash i9000 GB bootloaders. custom boot image link in my sig.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emilycloud:
If I recall, from 2.2 I ran gb cyanogen rom for a few minutes :o then upgraded to ics and never looked back.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsxiao:
i have read that flashing bootloaders is risky and can hard brick your phone? is this a common myth that people are scared of or is the process reversible? i am having a lot of random shut offs especially with wifi on. i clean and wiped everything and using GB bootloaders but it seems the issue persists. i am desperately trying to find a fix, i am running doc masters v6 rom. do you have any advice and if the i9000 bootloaders may fix my issue?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Its no myth. only way to hard brick is if the bootloaders are missing or corrupted.

he was just saying that people stress it too much. I too have flashed boots plenty of times with no issues at all. hell, we all used to use Odin one click, some even recommended it between every ROM flash (way back in the day), which contains boots.

My captivate is 17 months old and going strong, just make sure you've got a good connection by flashing a nobootloader package a couple times, then if that goes good, flash the bootloaders and you should be fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W. Holybee:
I felt same way about doing my first flashing. Now it is a walk in park!! I load a different ROM about every other day. Do your backups!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KangKilla:
You're using the normal gingerbread bootloaders for captivate, please correct me if I am wrong here.

My Rezound was at 7% then completely shot off and would not charge but it did give off a blinking or solid light for a few seconds, then turned off and wont charge.

I took it to VZW and they put a new battery and it worked, so I bought a new battery.

Then the next week I had my phone half charged in my pocket when I went to go skateboarding. After I skated I checked my phone for calls, texts,etc. It was off and would not turn on, so I went to charge it and the same thing as first time happened.

I think the phone is destroying the battery after a certain amount of time. I know my phone is not over heating for sure.

I was running Newts Endeavor rom but I doubt thats the cause. VZW is sending me a replacement phone so will wait and see.

Any ideas on the problem?

you can try running the "adb reboot" command and see if your phone boots into the OS. from there your battery should be charging which you can use to give your phone enough juice to switch recoveries. if it doesn't reboot after several tries, then yeah i would say wait for the replacement to switch over to Amon RA.
