Exactly the same here. Frequent black screen makes it unusable for me, but this is a very promising kernel. Kudos!

I'm curious about this issue too. I don't know the detailed procedure when a recovery flashes a ROM , but usually an well-finished work like CWM shouldn't make changes to some of the most basic functions (such as the way to decompress or flash a ROM ). But since there's a possibility that the version of CWM matters , we should put an eye on it;).

Hope it's only a glitch in bootloader or an old version of CWM , otherwise our developers would have another issue added on their to-do list: fix the bootloop issue :D.

SD install for NT8

I have a NT8 which is currently dual booting from the SD card using the instructions from iamafanof.wordpress.com (I would link it, but I'm at 0 posts) . It's working well, cm9 is good enough for browsing which is mostly what I use it for. I'd like to help with the development of the 3.x kernel on cm9 so I'm wondering if I can load the rom in the devel thread with the 3.x kernel to the SD card using those instructions and expect it to work.

I'm relatively new to the whole tablet/android scene, so please point me in the right direction if I'm way off course. I do have ~10 years as a unix sysadmin + 2 years as a unix software engineer as my day job, and have done bare bones AVR and ARM development in my spare time, so I hope I can make some bigger contributions in the future. Thanks

For those in a reboot loop, you will need at least Clockwork 5.5.0.4. Not sure why it doesn't work with 5.0.2.8.

I'm sure more knowledgeable members can point to a better way to do this but basically here's the process I went through to go from a rooted Nook Tablet to CM9

1. Grabbed the Nook Recovery Flasher apk (link)

2. Installed it on my rooted Nook Tablet and booted into recovery

3. Enable fastboot and installed the recovery image from this thread

4. Grabbed the latest zip file from the main dev thread.

5. Boot into recovery, factory reset and install the zip file from #4

6. Grabbed gapps for CM9

I am not sure

I was looking at Kuzma30's GIT testing repo and the commit "Disable sound codec. Select dummy sound. Try to test random reboot" Caught my eye. Not sure if this is mentioned anywhere else, but the device for me stops rebooting when i delete the "ducati-m3.bin" file and reboot. Only when the screen goes off does it cause problems.

Yeah, not sure if it is any help or not.

I own the 8GB 512MB NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
because 'google is my friend', i googled "Clockwork 5.5.0.4" and at the top ( most recent ? ) of the list was a guy ( w/transformer ) saying that version 5.5.0.4 gave him the boot loops ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] balrog558:
It might not apply to the nt as the transformer is a different device with different kernels and such.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] balrog558:
Its only the games, full screen video responds as well as all other apps that require touch. The games only do this occasionally, after a reboot they work fine again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
Did you do a reset to factory & clear the caches? Sounds like you did not.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] alaw:
I thought I did.. maybe not. Now the rom will not even boot up. Just goes to a black screen. I can still access the TWRP recovery through cyanoboot but it appears that TWRP does not recognize my sdcard so that I may try to flash again...

Make sure that your SDcard is mounted in TWRP.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
Twrp & cwm 5.5.04

Yes, that seems to be a critical issue with TWRP. I had several similar issues. And, since it does not flash the 3.0 kernel for me, I just went back to CWM.

Is anyone aware of where I could get the CWM version 5.5.0.4 that some people seem to be using successfully to flash 3.0?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
did you know about the ( annoying ) characteristic with the flashing from external sd cards ? . a lot of times you just need to "pop the card out and back in again" and then the s/w sees it.

hth.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Keithn:
I tried both the 3.0 and 2.6 CM9 both worked for me. Are you using the build from the kernel thread?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RhinoNelson:
CWM version number

I am just an interested observer in this thread but I wondered about the version numbers in CWM. When I open ROM Manager it says it is version 5.0.0.7 and when I select Reboot into Recovery CWM version is 5.5.0.4. Not sure why they would be different but depending on where you are referencing the version there are two results for the same app......
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] alaw:
Yes I tried that. Still doesn't work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
CWM version

Yes, using the kernel thread build. But the result is a black screen on my NT8. I even tried using the TWRP from Goo Manager. Same result.

Tried CWM from a stock 1.4.2. TWRP from CM9a/2.6 kernel; Reset to Factory; cleared caches; fixed permissions.:confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Keithn:
Not sure then, I used the TWRP image from the thread and then dd it to the recovery partition.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
I tried that yesterday and still "no cee-gar"!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] alaw:
So I got TWRP to recognize my sd card. I flashed one of the CM9 nightlies just so I could have a rom to boot so I can get CWM back and install CM7.

Flashing the recovery in CWM does not get CWM recovery back for me. How exactly can I get it back?

Odd question: with the work being done on the 3.0 kernel how hard would it be to build a GNU/Linux system to run on the Nook Tablet? Such as Ubuntu, I know in theory it's possible, but is anyone actually looking toward this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kuzma30:
I think it will be easy run Ubuntu on 3.x kernel than with 2.6 kernel version. About Ubuntu you can ask AdamOutler

Question what can we do to find the reboot bug?

I have found that after, the screen goes blank, I plug it into be charged.

I leave the tablet alone. No touch...

After some time 20 - 60 minutes unplug and try. I have notice per cpu spy that deep sleep happens if I go around 60 minutes before touching.

Is there a way to capture the state of system as it goes blank?

Just wondering. Thanks, John
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
Yes, having proof that the s/w is going into 'deep sleep' is a very good thing to know. So then it is not a hang in the power control processes. I read that the ducati binary is the bad boy - were we maybe going to get source - some way, some how ?

.

i saw on the market a tool called 'cpu memory montor' and it collects cpu and memory consumption in real time. i wonder if something is just being a big pig and not backing off in eating up resources ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
When running with CM9 and the 3.0.21 kernel my NT doesn't reboot, rather the screen goes dark and it is unresponsive. The back light is on so I know it didn't shut down. I hold Pwr & N and screen goes really black (NT is off) and then hold Pwr and it boots again. It really hates root explorer and I have a lot of other random crashes. Times vary from less than a minute to 10-15 minutes, unless I go to Root Explorer which seems to trigger an almost instant crash.

I'll see if I can look into cpu memory monitor next time I want to play with ICS.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdebay:

Ran cpu memory monitor and does not show any large processes.

After I finally was able to get Rom Manager to run with su allowed, ran fix permissions and here is the log

not sure if these corrections to permissions are correct. But one more thing to check.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] comat0se:
I've managed to brick my nook I guess trying to go back to CM7 from CM9, while flasing CWM recovery over TWRP. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I installed CM9, TWRP recovery, and along with this the Cyanoboot was installed. CM9 would constantly go into a sleep of death, so I decided I was going to roll back to CM7.

I tried to install the CWM recovery using the NOOK Tab Recovery Flasher.apk. But then I went to restart and I just get the Nook n with the copyright info, then a larger n, and then a black screen (but still lit).

I created a SD card with the AdamOutler Unbrick Ubuntu image on it, but it doesn't seem to read from it, same results... any ideas?

This is on a 16GB model

the cm9 screen loads up, and starting updating applications (189) and when it finishes it loads the cm9 boot screen again, then quickly loads applications again, rinse and repeat.

Has anyone experienced this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] comat0se:
I've tried this but it doesn't seem to read from the sdcard automatically like everything says it should. I've even tried multiple sdcards.

I think I've got a permabricked nook, a 16Gb model at that. No adb, can't boot into recovery, can't boot or restore from sdcard. Moral of the story, don't use TWRP and then try to go back to CMW.

Plug Nook tablet into power and let it start charging and then let it reboot but DO Not Touch for at least a half hour.

Did you power on your NT using the USB cable?

Some NTs, such as mine, usually will only boot off the SD card when it gets powered on by inserting a powered USB cable.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] epic2000:
Just to clarify the bit about how enabling Ducati M3 will bring 2 more cores into play - the Ducati M3 cores are specialist cores that support video and image processing.

They are designed to allow offloading these activities from the general purpose Cortex A9 core. You can't use them as a general purpose cpu.

(Didn't want casual readers going away with the wrong expectation of what Ducati M3 will bring)

I agree with what you have stated. 2cpu 2gpu still a 2 core system.

Hello,

I managed to build CM9 on a Fedora 17 x64_86 virtual machine by following the [DEV][CM9][HOWTO] Build CM9 From Scratch thread but haven't flashed it yet. (BTW, very nice how-to!)

My question, does this build have the expiry time limit in it?

Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] meghd00t:
what did you do to overcome the modprobe -l error in Fedora 17?

I have a working build from 31 may built on Fedora 16 x64 but all my builds after 4th Jun when I upgraded to Fedora 17 don't work!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Zippy Dufus:
Thanks for the heads up!!

I saw those errors and was hoping that they were benign. Fortunately, I haven't flashed it yet.

What I will do now is to investigate a scheme to create a modprob alias to that strips or remaps this option. But this is just off the top of my head.

I'll post any solution that I come up with.

BTW - does the build have an expiry limit? I am usually traveling with my NT and don't want it to stop working when I am on the road.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] meghd00t:
No, there are no expiry limits, but as long as you are rolling your own builds with anything other than Ubuntu 10.04 be very careful.

With F16 I had to build and install tofrodos, android build system is hard coded to use this and usnix2dos will not work, I had success with both the Sun JDK and Fedora's own openjdk on F16

Right now I am experimenting with

cat /usr/local/bin/modprobe

#!/bin/bash

fkm() {
local kver=$(uname -r) arg=${1//[-_]/[-_]}
find "/lib/modules/$kver" -iname "*$arg*.ko*" \
-exec bash -c 'mods=("${@##*/}"); printf "%s\n" "${mods[@]%.ko*}"' _ {} +

if [[ ! -e /lib/modules/$kver/kernel ]]; then
echo "reboot!" >&2
fi
}

if [ $1 == "-l" ] ; then
shift
fkm $@
else
/usr/sbin/modprobe $@
fi

and patching the wlan build system like this

diff --git a/external/wlan/mac80211/compat_wl12xx/Makefile b/external/wlan/mac80211/compat_wl12xx/Makefile

I'm on a 8GB NT with CM9, and Aldiko gave me the same message.

Similarly, Dropbox claimed there was no SD card available, though I am dual booting off of a partitioned SD card.

Unsure if there's an issue with the way I set up my partition, or if there's some CM9 issue related to the Aldiko install problem.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kuzma30:
Thank you for reporting.

I know about this problem. And have solution. I'll release it in near future.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] meghd00t:
Ok thanks for that pointer. I changed the file to

cat /usr/local/bin/modprobe

#!/bin/bash

fkm() {
local kver=$(uname -r) arg=${1//[-_]/[-_]}
find /usr/lib/modules/$kver/ -iname "*$arg*.ko" -printf "%P\n"

echo "reboot!" >&2
fi
}

if [ "$1" == "-l" ] ; then
shift
fkm $@
else
/usr/sbin/modprobe $@
fi

and now it builds and boots and it looks OK. So you can mark one for Fedora 17 x64 successfully building cm9
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp23:
I had this same issue with Aldiko and several other apps. I got around it by unmounting the SD card, installing the app, then re-mounting the SD card.

One other thing I noticed with Aldiko is that it doesn't have the 3 dot menu button show up as it seems to think the nook has a hard menu button. As such, there was a lot of stuff I couldn't do. I switched to Moon+ reader and had no problems.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Zippy Dufus:

One reason for my procrastination is that I see hints that a major break-through should hit the repo soon.

"tethered" boot

Maybe there is some hardware difference that forces some devices to boot tethered - but I sincerely doubt it. I believe that there is some quirk in the setup or flashing of the ROM.

I have NEVER had to boot tethered. I have tried just about everything available for the Nook - including some things that caused my device to be bricked for three months and I have not had the tethering problem with any of them.

I suggest two things: 1) complete wipe & factory reset before flashing any ROM (and perhaps again AFTER) as well as clearing both caches. 2) Always completely power off (or "reboot") each time. Then hold the power button only until the "n" screen appears and let go.

If the second option does not work, then I would repeat #1.

BUT, YMMV. I have been proven wrong MANY times before! :o
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Keithn:
As long as I boot from power off, I don't have any issues booting without tether.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raywaldo:
That is exactly my experience.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I believe the context of this "tethered boot" discussion is an NT still running stock ROM & not yet rooted, being able to boot off an SD card (in order to root or to flash CM for the very first time, or simply to run CM off an SD card), so your suggestion of doing "complete wipe & factory reset before flashing any ROM" doesn't apply here. See this thread and this thread for some discussion of this issue.
