Committing fraud is never good, especially when it's due to stupidity. Sorry OP, it's the truth. Man up and pay to get that JTAGGED by mobile tech videos.

Not everyone has money to throw around. I don't think a new phone replacement is gonna affect a huge corporation all that much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
Yeah but...if you can justify one person...then you can jusity 10,000 people and so on and so forth.

Also if you don't have money to throw around, play it safe and don't do things like the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
If you don't have the money to spend on JTagging, you shouldn't be playing with fire on your rather expensive phone, IMHO.

I have sympathy for the OP's dilemma, but sometimes (depending on the circumstances, need to survive, etc.) we need to accept the consequences of our own actions and seek to avoid abusing policies that seem like part of a generic, abstractly large pot of abundance.

It doesn't affect the corporation, it affects the rest of us as consumers that purchase their products. They make up the loss with price increases. Retail stores do the same thing with stolen merchandise. Raise prices to offset the loss. I agree. Man up. Fraud is fraud and stealing is stealing. Makes no difference who its from. I'd never tell my kids its OK to lie, cheat, and steal as long as its from rich people lol.

should have asked OP before you tried. Maybe not on this site because they can be a little harsh on Noobs but the other dozens of sites on the web. If you have insurance on the phone drop it in water pay the deductible and get a new phone.

Exactly. You you have to think in the aggregate.

And to be honest, if you have the money to pay for the most expensive carrier and the most expensive phone on said carrier you can probably spare $50-60 to fix your own mistake.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shojus:
I personally don't think it's fraud.... All Verizon is gonna due is use it as a refurb (and how do you think they get refurbs?) Sometimes a company has to open up BRAND NEW phones to give out as refurbs aka replacements, because I used to work for Nextel, before Sprint ate them up.... I was a tech and I remember having to open up brand new phones just so we had stock for refurbs cause when you release a new phone refurbs are non-existent until months after a release... And Samsung will just fix the phone but that does NOT make up for the part of NOT reading and following the instructions before you flash something... Every mod or rom that I flash I automatically know that if my phone dies it is MY fault cause I am playin with fire but flashing a totally different carriers rom is just plain stupid and I was a noob at one point and I NEVER even thought of flashing something until I read about a million pages of how to's and guides etc. I am not trying to be a **** but why would you think it's okay to flash a Sprint rom on your phone?? You will get a free pass on this one and get a replacement phone but if you do it again than you may want to think about just running stock because I think every noob gets one freebie and this is yours so go get a replacement and READ READ READ and if you can't find your answer than keep READING.... ;) I have never bricked a phone and I guess I am lucky but I certainly have never flashed another carriers rom on my phone either... Just my 2 cents... Good luck and READ! :laugh:

EDIT: I do NOT condone FRAUD!! There are just different ways of looking at what fraud is and I don't think the OP would be committing fraud... imo

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mattc8210:
I say semi-bricked since I can still boot CM7 from an sd card. The thing is that's all I've done all along. Yet the Nook OS somehow got bricked and if I try booting without the sd card I get the dreaded "Please restart your device" screen. I never tried rooting it or flashing anything to the internal. Originally I was stupidly using a Class 10 PNY card to run CM7 from and it was unstable and would reboot a lot. I think this somehow messed up the partition table or something. I've tried some of the prescribed fixes up to and including the repart image with the green checkmark, but it didn't take somehow. I'm considering trying something with ADB and re partitioning, but that brings me to my real question.

If I try that and fail is it possible to mess things up even more to where I can't even boot CM7 from sd? That would be my worst nightmare. I was able to boot an sd card with CWM. Should I just be glad I can still use it as much as I can and deal with CM7? Or can I still just flash any other ROM on there? I don't really care about Nook OS. My main reason for wanting to preserve that was to possibly sell it and have the dual boot as a selling point.

What would you do?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BoostedB18C:
you can make a bootable sdcard with cwm on it and flash the nook os. just search around to find the right one

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mattc8210:
I've tried the method in the second link. That's the stock restore with the img file. That didn't work somehow. My next step was to try the manual repart with ADB. But I'm worried about truly bricking it to where I can't even boot CM7 from the sd card. That's obviously far worse than just living with this.

I've considered trying to get a replacement and even called them. In lieu of going in to their store he was willing to send me a replacement if I put up a credit card in case they deem mine in violation of warranty. Either way I figure I'm not getting it replaced, which especially sucks since I didn't even root the thing.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BoostedB18C:
just remember that there are always ways to unbrick. go ahead and try adb and if it doesnt work or gets worst, post back

Why can't you get your NT deviced? If you ask me, you haven't changed anything on your NT and booting something from an SD card isn't voiding your warranty. In fact, B&N themselves boot from an SD card to repartition devices.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
If you take it to B&N and let them repartition it will go to stock 1.4.3. You have to reenter everything.

Should fix your problem. You can still use CM 7 from SD.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
You can take the SD card out and send the device back to B&N for a replacement, OR, even better, just keep booting from SD card since you don't miss anything by not being able to go back to B&N's cripple OS.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] megaghostgamer:
Try ubuntu method had the same problem
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mattc8210:
As for being sent a replacement , I've talked to them about it. In order for them to send me a new one I'd have to put up a credit card with the risk of them charging me $250 arbitrarily if they deem me in violation. Seems like a huge risk when I paid 100 for it to begin with. If the partitions are messed up I have a feeling they're gonna screw me. Bringing it in is an option, but I have a feeling I'll get the same result. There's a thread somewhere on here where a guy relates his experience with this and in the end they hand him back his Nook with a voided warranty. He never flashed the internal, either.

Trying the ubuntu method will probably be my next step. Thanks for all the replies so far. I appreciate your help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RhinoNelson:
If you take it in and they try to repartition it and it doesn't work you are no worse off than you are currently. If it works you have the two boot options you desire. Tell them you bought it used and this is the state you got it in. If they help great, if they say they won't help you are where you started.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wellersl:
You tried restoring it to stock with the Acclaim ROM?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] grubbyfoot:
Yes I did
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wellersl:
Well now it's just a challenge! You know, these things have earned a reputation (particularly among devs) for being *almost* un-brickable. Unless you skipped something, it *has* to work. So let's start with basics. I'm assuming you're in a windows environment...

1) Your SD card (This is where my money is.) should be just a plain old Sandisk 4GB Class 4. Others amy work, but YMMV. But none of those fancy Class 10 things. Nook can't take advantage of them, anyway and some folks have reported problems with them.

2) Start with a clean format using SD Formatter. Just navigate to the card and take the defaults.

3) Download the B&N OEM image given near the top of this post.

4) Write that image to the card using Win32DiskImager. You want the binaries. Second link from the top. Just select the card and navigate to the image file and take the defaults. Wait for it to finish.

5) Unplug the fully charged Nook and power down it down completely by holding the power and "n" buttons until it goes completely dark.

6) Insert the SD card and reconnect the charger. If your nook doesn't power up within a few seconds, press and hold the power and "n" buttons again. When the "n" appears, continue to hold the "n" and release the power button. It *should* start prompting/warning you about the end of the world, etc... Just do what it says and wait for it to finish.

If that doesn't work, there must be something else going on...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mjhmjh:
On my nook tablet 16 Gb, I installed CM7 internally using the istructions found at this forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481826. Everything worked fine for several months. Then, I started getting errors upon startup within CWM v 5.0.2.8 that are similar to the ones in the screenshots above

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

At first I tried reinstalling CM7, but to no avail - still got the same errors. After browsing around XDA forums, I found several image files that claimed would fix my nook, but none of them worked.Then, I tried reinstalling CWM using the instructions found at this link, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21275927#post21275927, but that was also unsuccessful.Tried to follow instructions here: http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=1513583, but the parted binary wouldn't download to my computer. I even tried a nook factory restore (i.e. causing tablet to fail at booting 9 times), but this didn't work either. Finally, I can across this forum and attempted the method described in post #16, but that was also unsuccessful.I have done all of the methods on multiple SD cards, and even purchased a new one (Sandisk) to confirm that the SD card isn't the problem.

Any recommendations on getting the nook operational again, whether its stock or a ROM??

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_furnace:
Okay so some background here:

I do not know much about HTC Evos. I took on this task from a friend who asked me for help. She told me that the phone was an Evo 4G LTE that she had gotten from someone else to replace her original Evo 4G. Having no background of the Evo, I took her word and treated the phone as an Evo 4G LTE.

Now on to the original problem. The phone would not activate on sprint, she would try to activate it and could not get the phone to respond properly during the ##.... step. From what I understand this was because the current ROM was non-sense and it needs a sense rom to activate. So I posted in the Evo 4G LTE threads about my problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1919250

One person was very helpful in diagnosing the problem AS A 4G LTE but upon doing so I have ended up with a phone that is completely non-responsive as far as I can tell. It just shows a black screen (no backlight).

Here is what I have done so far:

[QOTE]Try removing the card and deleting the update zip and restart the phone. The phone you have is not an LTE it is the previous model. She was trying to help but she was giving advice to fix an LTE not an og evo, you posted in the wrong forum. She didn't notice the product id was supersonic, LTE product id is jewel [/QUOTE]

So I feel pretty stupid, but that is where I am at. If any additional information is needed, please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Assuming you can get into the bootloader, I would flash a new recovery there, such as Smelkus. Make sure the phone is off, press the volume down button and then press the power button. The phone should boot into the bootloader. If not, it sounds like you've got real problems. Here is the link for Smelkus. Follow the directions to install via the bootloader:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661543

After installing Smelkus I would flash a Sense-based ROM (like Captain Throwback's stock rooted ROM) and go from there. You can find the latest rooted OTA here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671395

Using this ROM will allow you to get the phone activated. Don't forget to make a Nandroid backup once you get things up and running. It sounds like you're using ROM manager, too. I'd ditch it since it uses Clockwork recovery. Learn how to flash everything in recovery and stay away from ROM Manager and Clockwork recoveries on the EVO 4G.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
A brick can occur for a few different reasons. In this case, it sounds as though it happened due to the wrong recovery being installed. Not sure how better to explain it to you. I guess another way of saying it is that you corrupted the OS on the phone.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soap:
I thought he said he tried installing LTEvo software also? If so, he corruoted more than just the OS, he corrupted the software entirely. Normally, a soft brick can be fixed if you know what you're doing. If you turn the phone on and get a little bit of vibration, it could potentially be salvageable. I remember reading a soft brick save guide at either Androidcentral or themikmik..

If he has this scenario, he may just have a slight stroke of luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
Maybe if he can get ADB to recognize the phone, he can push a new recovery to the phone. From there he should be able to flash a new ROM. I think getting ADB going is the only way to save it at this point given the fact that he can't do anything with the phone itself.

Sent using my HTC EVO 4G and a magic wand
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_furnace:
This sounds like the most logical approach. Is there anything I can do to force adb to recognize the device? Or is there an alternative method of connecting the device to adb or another program like adb?

There is no vibration or anything when attempting to power the phone on, so I doubt the soft brick is applicable.
