[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I'd agree with you, that guide is very confusing.

This is how I'd do it:

1. Download the latest version of the ROM

2. Unzip in 7Zip

3. Keep going into the folders until you see a bunch of files, including Haret and clrcad. Then go UP/BACK 1 folder so that you have a folder which can be copied to your SD card, and directly inside this folder are the files needed. Normally this folder will be called something like 'Android' or 'MIUI'.

4. Copy that folder to the ROOT of your SD card (so, for example, if the folder is called 'Android' the directory should be /Android)

5. Boot into MAGLDR

6. Go to Services>Boot Settings>AD SD Dir and set the AD SD Dir to be the same as the folder you copied

7. Go back to the MAGLDR menu and select 'Boot AD SD'.

I've tried to be as general as possible with these instructions, because I don't know what's actually in the zip. Hopefully you should be able to follow them. If not, then can you describe in more detail what's inside the zip and I'll be able to give you much clearer instructions.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridethisbike:
My buddy has a cappy and the poor soul is still running 2.1. Now that he no longer has a warranty on it, he wants to root and upgrade it.

My question isn't what's the best ROM because I understand that is highly subjective, but rather, what is the most stable ROM?

ICS on the HTC Inspire only recently hit mile stone release status and, while fairly stable prior to this, still had it's bugs. This was fine for me, but I don't want to bring my friend into this awesome world with a ****ty experience right off the bat plagued with random reboots, bootloops, or non working functions.

So what ROMs are rock solid stable and are good for daily drivers?

And like I said, I'm not looking for "I like this ROM" and I'm not trying to ask what is the best ROM. Only asking about stability.

Thanks guys
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Still subjective...but my 2 cents --

Stability wise I would suggest that he upgrade to the Gingerbread 2.3.5 i897ucKK4 release, get Root and then Debloat it completely. Let him run that for a while. He will be pleasantly surprised i think, especially compared to eclair 2.1 that he has been running. Afterwards if he wants to move on to a Developer's Rom, then there are plenty of KK4 based Roms to choose from. He will just have to do some diggin in the Dev forum.

The other Roms ICS, JB, AOSP, CM, MIUI and those similar are very good...but still subjective to each individual user as to what is stable and fit for a daily driver, etc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridethisbike:
Sounds good. I appreciate the reply.

I do have one last question though. As far as doing this, it looks like I just need to get him updated via the Samsung website updates and then use SuperOneClick for root. Is this correct?

I ask because holy crap are there a lot of traps to accidentally fall in to...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
He could do the mini kies route to froyo then gb Or he/u could use the kk4 one click odin or heimdall with bootloaders and then get Root through the [Utility] KK4 Easy Root by Red_81 --- both of these u can find in my signature link below.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridethisbike:
The Heimdall followed by Easy Root seems the best way to go then (less steps). Thanks so much. I appreciate it. :)

Now to find that page with the drivers again.... lol (no need to post the link, I'll find it haha)

Here ya go, it was close by... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33577757
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridethisbike:
That's not the page I was looking at before. lol

I was looking here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858765 That and, of course, installing the SDK on his computer.

But after reading the Heimdall page and that post you pointed me to, it seems I was looking in the wrong direction. I know the SDK won't hurt anything though, so that is still getting put on there, if for no other reason than ADB. (I'm a fan of ADB. It's gotten me out of more than a few binds before.)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Completely agree with this. Your buddy will need to experience and learn a lot of stuff through this transition, therefor, making the jump to JB from Eclair could make a mess.

Although, once he reaches that point, I have to say that I've been very pleased with AOKP (now on milestone). I was quite hesitant to use it as my daily ROM cause I was so used to stability over tweaks with ROMs made by The Family and The Collective. I've been on it since JB was ported to our cappy and I'm seriously loving it! Can't imagine flashing anything else as my daily ROM unless it's as stable and that coming from a flash addict! :p

Anyway, hope the transition goes well!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridethisbike:
Me too. We were gonna do it yesterday, but after the mayhem of my truck (took 4 hours to rotate TWO tires....), we decided that luck was not with us and decided against it lol. Hopefully I can get him to man up about it today.

Thanks for the help guys! Now to produce another convert... muahahahaha!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
I would simply use the stable version of CM10.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hockey25stud:
I apologize if there is an answer to this somewhere but I have spent the last 3 days looking and could not find a clear answer. I have tried many different methods, SD cards and many many MANY attempts but I can not get my nook tablet to boot from the SD card. The closest I get is after I hold power and N to power up then down, insert the SD card and then power up (USB and Button get the same result). After the N screen I get a flash of the root screen but then the factory reset question. ANY help would be appreciated. My wife is going to kill me if I spend too much time on this! Thanks in advance!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmjohnsonfse:
What type and class of micro SD card are you using? I always have used emmc to boot, but it seems that a Sandisk Class 4 seems to be the recommended choice when attempting to boot from it. I also remember a issue along time ago when people would have to have their nook plugged into their wall charger to boot. Btw what ROM are you attempting to boot to? Also, whose guide are you following? Good Luck....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hockey25stud:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hockey25stud:
So I could not find a sandisk class 4 but i did use a wintech class 4 and still nothing. Just boots to the B&N os. I was thinking about buying a pre-made card but if the NT wont boot from the SD card I don't know if it will be worth it. Any other ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
If you are trying to make a CM SD card, you can find instructions/tools here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hockey25stud:
It is tough for me to follow those instructions. Sorry guess I am just a noob ;) I was able to make the SD card but the instructions on what to put where on the card confused me. Can you help me out?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kramgrub:
I will start this reply off stating that I am rather noobish.

I've seen evidence that the boot sequence has been modified by B&N to kill this procedure. I am in the process of doing the same with my Nook Color BNTV250a. I think we may have to over-write the emmc rather than use the microSD if possible. I really don't know why they care so much. We buy their product, and we want to make it more dynamic...

:cyclops:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I posted an overview of the process I used to build a CM10 v0.06 SD card using Succulent's tools here.

However, you can simply just download a CM10 SDcard ready-made image built by Succulent and posted here, and write it to your SDcard.

Booting with sd on 1.4.3

I am having the same problem. I have tried a few different ways with no results. Anyone have any sucess yet?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] idontknowshtf:
this works for me

I'm new and I just installed CM10 on my tablet this weekend.

I had the same SD card issue.

Short answer for me is -- make the partition size of the SD card small in additional to the boot and lba flags settings and it worked.

I use 100-150 MB. Tried 300 MB and it failed.

I used an old 2G (class 1?) SD and a 16GB class 2 Sandisk, both behaved the same.

Nook Tablet had 1.4.3 installed and is about 9 months old.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
To get my 1.4.3 Tablet to boot from sd I hold down the "n" when powering on. I let go of it before things really start going on on the screen. (5 seconds? I haven't timed it)

I have done all sorts of things from sd (rooting, repartioning, unrooting...). Some went well , some didn't at first, but thankfully there are guides here to get you back to where you started... :o

I am right now running CM10 from an sd card and it's performing amazingly well. You could always try that for a while! An almost fool proof guide here http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/ You don't have to mess with setting up partitions or anything. It's all done for you! Download, burn (and if you want to, espand one of teh partitions to fill up the card), pop it in and go!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
If your NT is like mine, it will:

only boot from SD from a power-off state

and

upon insertion of a powered-USB cable

always boot into stock ROM if it's powered up via the power button

always reboot into stock ROM (even when tethered with a powered-USB cable)

If it does

not

boot from SD from a power-off state and upon insertion of a powered-USB cable, e.g.,

it gets stuck on a black screen then eventually boots into stock ROM, or

it boots straight into stock ROM without "hesitation"

then there is something wrong with the content and/or format of SDcard 1st partition, in which case check to make sure that 1st (FAT32) partition has LBA flag set and is set to active, and that the MLO and u-boot.bin are not corrupted (at least have the correct size in bytes) in the file copying to SD. I also found it helps to first copy the MLO and u-boot files then the rest of the files, since MLO and u-boot are to be loaded first, and it appears that OMAP only scans the first few entries of the partition-table to look for these two files.

Fried microSD

I thought this was going to be rather straight forward, but I'm starting to curse technology. I tried making the bootable microSD card on a new 32gig class 4 Sandisk to no avail. I formatted it after to start from scratch, and now it cannot be detected. I haven't done anything really like this before, so I'm wondering if I should even bother risking the 8 gig card I use for music. I have the Nook Color BNTV250A as well.

:eek:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] systems6:
hope this helps you out...

go to youtube a look up Ray Waldo's channel he has some informative videos on the nook tablet...dont give up!!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
What process did you use to make the bootable SDcard?

Can your PC/Laptop detect the card?

Have you tried using a disk partition tool like "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" to see what's on the card?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] troy9829:
I've seen multiple references to Nook Color and BNTV250A in the same sentence, but I believe that model number belongs exclusively to the Nook Tablet. I have an 8GB Nook Tablet with 1.4.3(pre-installed). I went through a lot of hassle with the SD card as well and what worked for me was getting the smallest size SD card I could find. I used a 2GB class 4 card. That worked well for me. On the boot process(from a powered down state with the SD card inserted) I started out by pressing and holding the "n" button and then pressing and holding the power button. I didn't release either until I saw the brown box on the screen so you might be releasing one of the buttons too early. Additionally I did not have a USB cable attached to my Nook during the whole process and it didn't affect the install in anyway. What I've seen with the USB cable attached is that a delayed power-on process is initiated once the cable is inserted. Maybe this defeats the "button press" sequence.

Good luck!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kramgrub:
So did you fix it? Because I am trying to do the same exact thing.:eek:

Hey guys.

I am somewhat a noob. I bought a brand new 8gb nook color from wallmart on black friday. I heard about how you can put CM onto the sd card and boot from that without altering the device itself. I have tried for HOURS to do this. I have looked up COUNTLESS walk throughs and done everything they say, done alternations, and used different cards ranging from 2gb sandisk (class 1?) to 32 gb sandisk this is a class 4. I've used winimage and burned the image to the card, then dragged over cyanogenmod and done this task in countless different ways. Every time I shut down the nook, put in the card, then re-boot, the nook does NOT boot from the card. It boots normal, then I can actually browse the card after it boots up. I have done it EXACTLY how it says here and read tutorials so its not a question of whether or not I have followed standard proceedure. My firmware version is 1.4.3. Ive searched online to this and to no avail. My sister bought the exact same one at the exact same time and it does not boot the sd either. I have done about 8 straight hours of research on this guys, so I'm no pro but I have a basic understanding of how it works now. My questions are this:

1: Did Barns and Noble put restrictions on the newest nook color or on the newest software version? And if so is there a way around this?

and

2: If NOT, is there an alternate way/installation onto the card that I can do (such as an image pre loaded with CM etc.) that I might be able to try instead of the conventional way?

Thanks guys! Sorry for the uber long post : S

I too would be willing to donate to this cause. However, I've been testing with GrooveIP over Wifi, and it works extremely well. Call quality is excellent and you can use it for incoming and outgoing calls without using your plan minutes. I'm using the $5 pro version which integrates with the native dialer, so you makes calls just like you would normally. I know this isn't the same thing as T-Mobile's Wifi calling, but it's a good solution nonetheless.
