[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] maxxcool7421:
cant find the delete button :(

anyways the device is fully hardware bricked.

it was a 1.4.2 oem off the shelf nook

it showed rev3 for the omap processor

thats pretty much all the hardware details i remember:

How i permanently bricked it:

after having Lag0matic help me i recovered the 1st time i soft bricked it by using adb to wipe the mmcmlk0 memory card, then re-partition it.

i used the ubuntu wipe and restore image to flash back to 1.4.0 that is included with the ubuntu tool

i rebooted the device and skipped registration and made sure it worked

i used sdformatter to wipe a 16bg pny card i bought from walmart (it is a 4 rated speed card)

i placed the 8-16gb cwm extracted files from the 8-16 cm7 recovery img to the card

i placed the teamb-beta-1 zip onto the card

i placed gapps onto the card

i then booted off the SD card with the cm7 recovery image and installed the teamb-beta1 zip successfully

i factory wiped as recommended

i cleared the cache as recommended

i cleared the dalvik cache

i then installed gapps via the same way

i removed the sd card

rebooted

installed some video players (pretty much all of them that had more than 4.5 stars to try play HD video

it woudlnt play hd video

noticed the hardware players would not enable hardware codecs, and if forced would hard lock the thread and force me to hard boot it

gave up on that, copied some games from my htc-glacier over to my sd card for the nook (i copied the whole sd card from the phone)

played some games but the saved games would not load

copied them to the internal "sd card" (data space)

still would not load saved games

figured to clean install it again

using the normal memory card manager (NOT that evil tophat rommanager) i formatted the sd-card, and the internal card by dis-mounting them then formatting them

made the cwm bootable, added the rom and gapps again (same versions)

...

device will not boot with the cable plugged in

unplugged the cable, it boots, but the memory card will not boot the device. it locks up on the "non animated" boot screen

plug the cable back in, still wont boot from it

take out memory card

now it boots with the cable plugged in. wierd. oh well. put stick in and hit the N button to load the recovery manually

recovery will not load from the sd card. "bad image, crc etc"

/huh i think/

reboot again, no sd card, hit n to go to the internal recovery

internal recovery loads, shows me the same errors as before indicating the partitions are gone ... again ....

/me = scream and swear .... alot

go to recovery

recovery cannot write to data, system. emmc, only boot AAAAND! it no longer says happy errors, now it says omap.c can't mkfs on .... blah (alot of things)

/me = oh ****, it is referring to itself as the cpu... not a good sign/

fire up adb

adb shell = no devices

/me = no biggie/

stop and restart adb kill/start server like last time to pick the unit up

adb devices = ur boned dude..... no devices

/me = ooooohhh ****/

look in device manager

the generic adb device entry ... is not listed...

/crap self/

re-install windows to seperate box

adb still wont see it

reboot issues are getting worse... now it keeps doing the soft-recovery for BN.... then hanging.

/DURP/

after that last reboot and "self heal attempt" it is fully durped.

it will not boot if the usb cable has power to it, be it computer or wall plug

it will not boot from the sd card. and 50% of the time with the sd card in it wont power at all.

by not powering up, the lcd stays dead, no flicker, no backlight so this is not a blank screen, or hung.

so. the unit may be defective... not sure. but theres my story. and a big note of warning.

thank you mega,Lag and others... but i think the unit is going back, and i think im opting for a refund. i learned alot, but the device just makes me feel uneasy in its current state. maybe i will pick a used one up when cm9 hits stable beta, but cm7 was excellent but as i discovered not quite enough (video playback, i did not realize that gingerbread had issues with mkv which is 99% of my video collection).
