[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Umigobbles:
Hello all. I was successful in rooting my Nook Tablet according to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2037368&nocache=1

Unfortunately, when I went to install the CM7 zip, it kept saying, "file not found"

I then read a post about enabling USB Debugging and Unknown Sources. So even though I shouldn't have rebooted, I really didn't have any choice but to reboot and go into settings and enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources.

Now, I can't get back into recovery to install the .zip despite trying every combination I could think of or find by searching and I've literally been searching for hours.... must be using the wrong keywords because I can't find anything about getting back into recovery that works.

I even went to the Playstore and installed ROM Manager and GOO Manager and tried to reboot in recovery. When the Nook Tablet starts, it just shows and picture of a Nook with a red exclamation mark in the middle of it and says, "Please restart and try again..." or something like that.

Any ideas? Thanks for any response

In terminal emulator : "reboot recovery" or powering off and holding home and power buttons for like 5secs
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
If you tried booting recovery and it came up with nook recovery then you haven't replaced your internal recovery program to cwm. Instead of cm7 I'll suggest using cm10 because its much more new and essentially is the same thing, just improved.

If you end up not knowing how to internally flash then either read, read, read until you understand or get an SDC image. So many people brick their nooks by not understanding how to internal flash. The SDC image has no risk.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Umigobbles:
I tried several times holding the buttons but that didn't work. Terminal Emulator just says, "Operation not permitted." Thanks though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Umigobbles:
I was orginally in CWM Recovery when it would let me flash the CM7. The link to the thread in the OP advised that CM7 and the appropriate Gapps needs to be installed first before flashing the CM10 + JB Gapps zips. According to the thread I linked, these ROM's will be flashed to internal. This is the method I've been searching for because I didn't like the SDC image idea... just me.

I wasn't supposed to reboot the NT per instructions but when I forgot to enable USB debugging, it would not let me flash the .zips so I had to reboot the NT to get into settings. Is there a way I haven't read about yet that will enable me to flash the .zips without going through CWM Recovery or is it an absolute must?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
You don't need to flash CM7 before CM10. It just replaces it anyways. You just need to replace your current internal recovery with CWM and install the zips. There's no other way to internally flash without using a recovery program.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hjkop7:
So I bricked my S3, using the ol' fashioned wrong ROM method. Whoops.

I've accepted that this phone is bricked, all that turns on is the charging light for 10 seconds. Tomorrow I'm bringing to Geek Squad, my phone has their full black tie coverage and all that. What exactly happens there? In the terms and conditions is says right out that root voids the policy and they will not repair my device for free. However, I've heard in reality that isn't necessarily the case.

I can't clear the memory, I can't reset the flash counter, so they'll figure out pretty fast that I messed it up, but will they care? What are my chances here, and is there anything I can do to help myself? Any way to clear the memory at all?

I have a nice little defective charger I could plug into the phone, outputs a nice 15VAC, could that simulate a power surge which is covered?

Could I make water damage do enough but also look realistic enough that it would be covered?

If I 'dropped' it and the screen broke, they'd only replace the screen, right? So I'd just get a shiny new glass for my paperweight.

Also, first time I plugged it into my computer after bricking it BSODed my computer. It's not doing that again but is the phone really that mad at me?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] epic4GEE:
Only other option is to send it out to someone who can jtag it, I've never used them but I hear they do good work. It'll cost $60 plus shipping I think. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/

If you are willing to own your mistake, then go to best buy and tell them what happened, if they won't help you then the jtag guys should be able to. If your not happy with best buy at that point, cancel your insurance and don't shop there anymore lol.

My experience is to be honest that you screwed up, if you get the right person they'll likely give you a new phone right there. I had a similar experience with my epic4G, the sprint store was cool and swapped it out for me, no charge. I went into the store thinking I'm screwed and will have to buy a new one at full retail and was ready to accept that, maybe I just got lucky idk. Being dishonest will only hurt us all in the modding community at some point, locked bootloaders is the first sign of that, just own your mistake and see how it goes.

Side note: I've seen quite a few posts stating black tie coverage will get you a new phone, in most cases regardless, at least the first time you brick it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hjkop7:
So I walked up to the Geek Squad counter, I noticed that person I was speaking to was a Customer Service rep, not a tech. She asked what was wrong, I told her it died, she asked what I meant. I told her it's hard-bricked, she said she doesn't know what that means.

That's when I learned they'd be giving me my replacement, I'll have it in two days.

Warranty voided and warranty avoided, I wasn't even asked if it was possibly my fault. Thanks epic4GEE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] epic4GEE:
Excellent, nice you didn't have to make anything up or even tell them anything....I'm sure you learned your lesson, but still exercise caution in the future....happy trails:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
You messed up your phone, you shoulda paid for it. Ever wonder why phones are so much $$$, well doing that contributes to it......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Personally, for insurance plans that cover total loss (theft, loss, water damage, etc.), I don't think it's too bad to claim bricks. For TEP, it's still cheaper to JTAG it, so I normally recommend that, but it's more from a savings aspect, not a moral or legal aspect.

The best buy insurance is surprisingly good in this case. I'll look more into it (price, terms and conditions, etc), but it might be enough to make me want to buy from them in the future.

Just my two cents.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hjkop7:
Wouldn't say I'm not paying for it, Joe, this insurance does cost $288 total when you think about it. Besides, phone doesn't seem like so much to me. With all fees, screen protector, case and activation my SIII was about $150 when I got it new from Best Buy, of course that's with a two year plan but you sort of need that to use the phone anyway...

topherk, don't be so optimistic about it. Doesn't cover theft, loss, only covers spills not complete immersion. And only covers drops if it's from what they determine to be a reasonable height. It's great if you have a bad history of cracking your screen though, because they'll cover that in almost any situation and there's no deductible. But for most things, it's more of whether or not the people at your specific Best Buy care or not, or believe that their plan should offer more than what the company actually does.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RS7JR:
I hear the above being said a lot. How is that possible though? I work in insurance for a living and if phone insurance works anything like any other type of insurance plan I've come across, the only entity that would lose money from fraudulent claims is the insurance company. Not sprint or Samsung. Samsung is getting paid for all their handsets they make one way or another. An example, let's say that a whole bunch of people with hondas decide to make fraudulent auto insurance claims, that won't make the price of hondas go up. It'll make insurance cost more for hondas.

Sorry OP for getting too OT in your thread. I just see this comment all the time and wanted to hear why people think this.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Well, the type of claim that would increase phone costs is claiming on the Samsung 1-year limited warranty. Since Samsung would be the one covering the cost of it, they'd have to recoup their losses (increased phone costs, less lucrative subsidized pricing with carriers, etc.).

The other type of claim is the TEP. It wouldn't directly lead to phone cost increases, but it does lead to increased monthly costs and increased deductibles. Right now I'm paying $11/month for TEP with a $150 deductible ($414 for 24 month contract w/ 1 replacement). In 2009, insurance on my Palm Pre (top tier on TEP) was $8/month with a $50 deductible ($242 for 24 month contract w/ 1 replacement). I know phones have gotten more expensive and extravagant, but that's a 70% increase in overall insurance costs (for top-tier phones). It's not 100% empirical evidence that increased claims have lead to increased costs, but I can easily see Asurion trying to maximize their profits in this way.

Back to your comment: I think we can get a little over-zealous (myself included) about fraudulent claims, especially when it's done by people who mess up their own phone (hard brick by flashing a i9300 Rom/Mod). At that point, I think the responsible thing to do is to own up to your mistake. To me, that means either getting it fixed (JTAG Repair) or TEP ($150 deductible). Like I said in my previous post, I don't see too many issues with using TEP, since it covers total loss. The only advantage of claiming through TEP is that you get your "new" phone in 1 day. In all other ways, JTAG is better ($60 vs $150, not getting a refurbished phone).

Keep in mind that my Xperia X10 was left on gingerbread by Sony (and AT&T stopped at 2.1 eclair). Now the 3 year old phone has run past Ice cream sandwich and Has very nice daily use jelly bean roms.

Any word or rumor on a T-Mobile Upgrade?

They were the first to come out with an upgrade during the last severla weeks of manufacturers coming out with various upgrades, so I would think that they are do. Especially since their latest upgrade 1.60.36 is not very stable. In fact the previous release was much better.

I would like to see at least a 1.66 come out of T-Mobile.

Before my HTC Double Dip case arrive, I had to find a case to protect my HTC One. I found a very nice one on Amazon. It's the KaysCase Slim hard Shell Cover (Clear). It was the only case I have found that can truly show off the metal backside of my phone.

The fit was perfect. Very easy to pop it in. It left all the buttons on the side open and it didn't block the IR blaster. This case was less than $10 and it felt it was more expensive. It almost feels like there is a glass protecting the backside of my HTC One.

I highly recommend the case and you won't be disappointed. If you are looking a clear hard shell case, you should definitely look into this one.

I understand unlocked is 32GB with unlocked sim but s-on

while dev edition is 64GB with unlocked sim and unlocked bootloader - s-off

I think 32GB is totally enough.. and i imagine its easy to unlock the bootloader on the unlocked edition...

should i even consider the dev edition? would HTC actually have dev edition only content that i would miss out if i only had the unlocked version?
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
dev edition is still S ON, but for another 70 dollars you get a extra 32 gigs and unlocked out of the box.

or save 70 bucks, for 32 gigs, and you have to unlock yourself 5-10 minutes. so its up to you
