[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dpersad978:
Background:

I'll admit, I've been messing around a bit too much with the software/hardware of my Nook Tablet without any real prior knowledge, so this came of little surprise when it eventually stopped working. Originally, I had Rooted my Nook Tablet to expand on its capabilities, but wasn't satisfied; therefore I attempted to run CyanogenMod 10.1 on the Nook Tablet, but I realized (a little too late) that the version of ClockWorkMod I was running was too old to handle Android 4.1/4.2 Jelly Bean, which got the Nook stuck in a bootloop. Additionally, in the process I'd messed up the partition tables and they are no longer intact at all. I then proceeded here, to the XDA Forums, to find a potential solution, and found one that pretty much worked all the way up until I was physically restoring the partitions; I had ADB into the Nook and used a few partition images. After restoring the most important ones I went around to fix the others lesser ones, but the terminal on Linux said I'd run out of space.

After that the Nook had been shutdown with out fully restoring the partitions (probably leaving them corrupt, for all I know) and this is the end result:

1.) Nook cannot boot to any sort of recovery or operating system.

2.) Nook will not recognize and boot to an SD card upon start-up.

3.) Nook doesn't hold charge even though battery is tested and working.

4.) When Nook boots up, there is a large "N" logo and nothing else happens.

So the boot sequence is like this:

1.) Press power button; gives battery low/charge for 15 minutes error.

1.) Plug-in and charge for 15 minutes.

2.) Nook powers on and boots to "N" logo.

3.) Cannot do anything before/after.

Is there any way I can remedy this? Preferably I would like to restore the Nook Tablet to full working condition and restore the operating system to a stock ROM.

Note: I have a Nook Tablet 16 GB.

Go to the Nook Tablet development section. There are tons of guides to unbricking your tab.

The Ubuntu total wipe and reflash method

Unbrick Nook Tablet on Windows Vista/7

I'm pretty sure there are many other methods, but those 2 are the best ones I found so far (with a lot of "thanks" feedback from users).

About the battery level: use any regular microusb charger for a cellphone. Let it charge overnight, then proceed to unbricking.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dpersad978:
I should've added the "Bro, Do You Even Read?" to this response too; I should allude to you the fact that I have tried several methods from the XDA Forums (as I mentioned previously), including the total wipe method on Ubuntu as well as Windows (my Macs are undergoing hardware/software upgrades right now, and they're probably too old to be any use for me anyway). Additionally, while the results/symptoms are similar to other cases I hear here and other places on the web, there seems to be some uniqieness about it, which leads me to believe that the device is more than "just bricked".

Tell you what, when I attempted to restore the partition tables initially, it got messed up leading to the device's demise. The internal EMMC as well as any sort of recovery and bootloader has been completely obliterated from existance. The device can no longer physically recognize the micro SD Card Slot, and half the time it won't even boot on command (I have to wait until it feels like doing so when charging).

Secondly, I have tried other USB cables and adapters and I've gotten the same results, I even left it at a B&N store to charge during a one week period and the same results occur; doesn't keep the charge. The battery was swapped with another device and was proven to be working as it charged in the other device just fine.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dpersad978:
I think I should also mention that the Windows-restore Method that you linked me to mentioned the following:

"Update: If you have followed every steps from above instruction and still getting "please contact nook support" then you have "erased" factory partition table which means that now your device doesn't have any "build history" associated with it, like serial number, build info and so on. That means that factory ROM will not be able to run without getting that information from your device so your best choice is to call BN or go to BN and get a warranty or replacement service."

And as I said in the initial post, the partition tables are no longer intact, in fact, they no longer exist at all. And when I did bring it to Barnes & Noble, they were of no help whatsoever in my two local stores, so . . .
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sagirfahmid3:
I guess you're SOL then...

(I always make sure to create a backup of the /rom partition before doing any major mods. That's where the serial number and wi-fi mac address are stored).

Try and see if this works http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottblazo:
Hi Everyone,

This thread is being started with the intention of gathering more information on issues people are having with the Android Knight Rider stereo head unit.

Please see the attached file for the product specifications.

There is only a small community of users for this new Android 4.0 stereo unit available from the China manufacturers. Here are the issues I have reported back to the seller after using the radio for four weeks:

1) The volume of the radio is reduced to a minimum level when an Android app is playing music. The music is only going through the front wires to the front speakers when playing an Android app. Installation of the radio was correctly done because music can be heard through both front and rear speakers when playing music with bluetooth from my Samsung Galaxy 3 phone. There is a problem with the firmware in the Android software. I am totally aware it is not an Android option, its a problem with the way the Android 4.0 operating system was deployed within the radio.

Solution needed: An update to the Android software is needed to fix the issues with the music only playing to the front speakers. The sound settings are set to both front and rear but when playing music with any Android app the music will only play through the front speakers.

2) The radio was advertised to have two working SD card bays however a 64 gig card will only be recognized in the navigation SD card slot. The Android operating system will not recognize a FAT32 formatted SD card in the extension SD card slot.

3) The Android operating system often causes applications to hang. Google maps often gets suspended and the application needs to be closed. Other applications will only work for a limited time and then stop working requiring the radio to be powered down in order for the Android system to reboot.

4) There is no MUTE button when using the bluetooth telephone (Not in the Android OS but in the Windows CE OS)

5) When tethered to a Galaxy S3 phone for the radio to have wireless, there is no phone functionality within the Android OS. The phone is used within the Android OS it comes up with an error message stating "No mobile networks are available" while connected to a strong WIFI hotspot.

6) The Android Playstore app is extremely limited in the amount of apps it will find available to load. It will not find all the apps the my Galaxy S3 phone will locate when using the Android Playstore.

My radio was professionally installed so I know there are no issues being created as a result of a faulty installation.

QUESTIONS:

1) Has anyone else run into the same issues?

2) Is there a way to root this radio?

3) Would it be possible to have some developers work on a firmware update or the Android related fixes needed? The seller just wants me to return the radio for testing when I know its a problem with the Android software.

4) What 3G dongle needs to be used to enable the Android phone functionality to properly work?

Thanks very much,

Scott

My HOX is with CID HTC_044.

HBOOT-1.36.0000

I have been using it with ViperX ROM.

Now I returned to Stock by running 3.14.707.24 RUU, waiting for 4.18.401.2 OTA :)

Now I want to taste the Sense 5 from those custom ROMs available out there.

I'd like to know whether I can still go back to Stock 3.14 ROM from the 4.18 custom ROMs by running 3.14 RUU.

And flashing 4.18 custom RUU will upgrade my hboot version or not...?

Sorry for noob questions
[HTC One X] hemal_s33:
Not sure if you can downgrade using RUU after you have installed Sense 5 based custom rom.

This is what you should do

Your phone is now running 4.1.1 with Sense 4+

Unlock bootloader from htc dev

install custom recovery

take a nandroid back-up ( make two back-ups just to be sure) - Make a copy on local PC or cloud

flash Sense 5 based ROM and enjoy

when htc rolls official update

find firmware.zip file for your CID from mike1986's post in android development section

extract boot.img and recovery.img from the zip file

boot phone into recovery

restore your nandroid back-up for Sense 4.1.1 & Sense 4+

flash htc official recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)

flash htc boot.img (fastboot flash boot boot.img)

check for OTA and flash it
[HTC One X] ckpv5:
Yes as your hboot is not upgraded by installing custom ROM

No as your CID is HTC__044
[HTC One X] genocide_ru:
Can't say it is noob question, actually )

Yes, you will be able to flash 3.14 RUU after custom 4.18, because custom ROM do not update firmware (HBOOT).

All you will need to do is the same steps, which you did before 3.14 RUU
[HTC One X] zeyarwynntun:
Thanks a lot for all...

So lons as the HBOOT isn't changed, I can unlock, flash custom recovery and flash Sense 5 custom ROMs.

Then when I want to get back stocked, I can flash 3.14 RUU, rite ?

:)
[HTC One X] genocide_ru:
Yes, you are right.

As long as you do not touch firmware you can do whatever you want with JB ROMs.

Was wondering if there is any way to get the sweep2wake function for the N7 on 4.3 ROMs?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] inmnbob:
Broke the screen on my Note 2 and just got the replacement from Asurion. The last time this happened to me I went through the stock setup process and all of my apps were downloaded automatically. This time no such luck. I tried resetting the phone again but that didn't work. It is really annoying to have to manually download all 200 apps. Any way to force the auto install process.?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tcrosby86:
Good question. Same happened to me. I only had trial version of helium at the time unfortunately so I couldn't just restore everything. Really glad I had my app data though... Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] YrrchSebor:
I haven't looked into it too closely, it seems random to me- sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't(I'm always happy when it does). I don't know if there is an apk or some functionality that some devs leave in and some take out of their roms.... or else if it is just kind of random. But I always do choose the backup and restore options when signing into the market.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lawalty:
I purchased a 32gb micro memory card (class 10) for my beloved Note2. Then I updated my Google Chrome browser for Android. I made it my default browser. I noticed, all my files I download goes to my internal phone memory.

I tried to figure out how to change the default download directory, with no success. It's just not possible. I'm coming from stock browser, which uses external memory. Also, Dolphin HD browser uses external memory, but not Chrome!

Not Chrome!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tony yayo:
Someone correct me but, may have to do with Nexus phones not having an SD card slot and its probably the Nexus' default browser? For some reason they carried that throughout?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lawalty:
Yeah, i thought of that also. But for us with removable external memory cards, it's a pain to keep manually moving my downloaded "stuff" from the storage/sdcard0/download folder to the storage/extSdCard/downIoad folder. It's a shame they can't put it in the settings somewhere.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ttabbal:
You could probably use one of the bind Mount utilities from the market to mount the download directory over to the external card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lawalty:
However, I would need a rooted phone.

Don't misunderstand me. I rooted all my Android phones up to my Note 2 (Vibrant, G2, SGS2) however not my Note 2 yet. Its because I use Isis wallet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lawalty:
How about a download manager? I have been researching for a solution, and came across these download managers. I noticed that If you install these apps, when you attempt to download anything, it asks if you want to use the download manager or "internet". Why can't the download manager point to my "download" folder on my external SD card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ttabbal:
You would need one that's configurable for that. I imagine that's more up to the download manager app than anything else. There has to be one that lets you pick the destination directory.

You could also try something like Script Manager, write a quick script to copy the files over to the external, then delete them from the internal. It wouldn't need root as the sdcard directories don't respect permissions by design. Then set it to run once an hour or similar. The "script" could be as simple as "mv /sdcard/download/* /extSdCard/" .... Assuming "mv" doesn't get angry about them being different filesystems. If not, a "cp" followed by an "rm" would do the same thing. Or you could get fancy and use a loop to check that the files got copied over before deleting the original... lots of options. :)

Google's hate toward removable storage is irritating. :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KennyG123:
If you are going that route why not just choose the stock Android browser for downloads and that has an option to download to memory card? You would have to clear defaults in Chrome if you already had chosen to use that to download as default.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cubicsilver:
I use the download manager that comes with ES File Explorer as my default downloader. All downloads go to my sd card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lawalty:
I will check out thid download manager fron ES. Maybe it'll work. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lawalty:
Ok.. I've been using the stock Android browser like forever. I recently been falling in love with the snappiness of Chrome browser.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KennyG123:
But can't you select the stock browser for downloads only as default until Google fixes the Chrome app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lawalty:
I guess I can switch browsers, only use the stock browser for downloads and chrome browser for surfing. However, I want to stick to only one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cubicsilver:
This is how you do it: install es file explorer --> open it and go to settings --> select directory settings --> then download path. Pick your SD card. Open chrome and surf to a download of some sort. A pop up should appear and ask how you want to download the file. Choose es file and select always. Done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hkfan:
Just use foldermount app... works great
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KennyG123:
If you mean you are removing the stock browser then the options are a third party app as suggested by a few here, but if you leave the stock browser on your phone, once you select that to use to download as default it will be the same as a third party app. It will just download.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lawalty:
Sure! Decompiling sounds scary, plus if I was to figure out how to change the default directory, any updates would totally revert it back. But, having said all that, I will look into how to do such a feat. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] supermatt9:
This worked perfectly for me. Thanks man! You solved the one thing that was keeping me from using this browser.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lawalty:
Nope, didn’t work for me. It seems logical, and it should work, however I can't get it to work correctly from a website I routinely download from that requires a cookie. For some reason the stock downloader app works fine, along with the stock browser, but not Chrome.

I get a download fail everytime I use ES File Explorer along with Chrome browser.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] erm1001:
Try maxthon browser. Been using it to put download to my sd card
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mik3see:

Can't really think of any reason why Google doesn't have an option for this.

I use Opera for Downloads because of this, Opera allows you to set a different dir... even the new chromium based version.

Hay. I dont know if you have found it yet, but there is a work around for Isis walet now. After rootig install xposed fraimwork then root cloke and in root cloke look for isis walet and add it to the coked apps and you should be able to use it with root

Idk which to delete cause having both is killing my storage , they both have the same files , emulated has 2 folders inside 0, and legacy both containing the same files as sdcard1 ? So can I delete one of them

really ? you care about my signature
[Motorola Atrix HD] TecknoFreak:
Emulated is your actual system sdcard

sdcard1 is your external sdcard

Also emulated should be the same as sdcard0
[Motorola Atrix HD] daltonhrrll:
So could I delete sdcard 0 without deleting emulated ?

really ? you care about my signature
[Motorola Atrix HD] TecknoFreak:
No i will not do that if im you. Just because they are the same files they are just mirrors to the main emulated sdcard located on /emulated/0/

No harm at all to your sdcard space

Yes it is. Just go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader, then you can flash custom recovery, then you can flash custom ROM.

Attaining supercid for soff can be a bit of a hassle as it requires downgrading with jet tool.

Unlocking and flashing roms is pretty simple but you will need to flash the boot.img from the rom you're flashing every time you flash a rom or you will have issues that is, until you achieve soff

Here is a link to a great piece of work in progress.

This thread is DHO approved, I personally asked if I could post a thread sharing his work for the D4 and he gave me the go.

I went ahead and asked DHO if he could tackle development for this device as I feel the Droid 4 lacks in the development scene in comparison to most phones. Being that he's an awesome guy. without hesitation he took the challenge and within a day he has a working build.

It's the very very first build and his first time working on a device like this one so expect some minor and i mean MINOR bugs.

As each build is released you'll see improvements with each one, this guy does great work. In my opinion he has the best AOSP rom for the i605 which is the device I have. I had asked him to make this for my girlfriend as she owns the D4.

If you download, find DHO and thank him. If you like the work, donate. If you do not enjoy the work, move on silently but still hit that "thanks" button cause he still took time to make it or y'all.

If you guy's are thankful, hit "thanks"...after all I payed and am going to continue to pay him for building for this device. (He absolutely did not ask for money, I just felt it was right to do so considering he is investing his time into another device when he already builds for like 15 others)

Just to note, the very first build, it didn't have working hard keys but he may have fixed and reuploaded...if he hasn't he will...also if you guys install this please try your hardest to get him some logs

Could we possibly do a pure base PA3?

I've been trying to build out ParanoidAndroid3 and it doesn't work for me... Willing to my phone on the line as well...
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Is it possible to get some info on the ROM and maybe screenshots? I have never heard of Vanir and tried googling and for some reason got nothing?
[Motorola Droid 4] je2854:
from what I found, it's a Gnex ROM ported over....

guess since I'm I flashaholic I'll nandroid my 4.3 nightly and try it...

will report back shortly.

UPDATE:

What doesn't work

Wi-Fi

Hardware Keys

Soft Home Key

Dialer (Phone)

after phone dialer didn't work I stopped testing....

Hope this helps everybody who was curious about this 'mystery' ROM

If you want to play with it make sure you flash in Slot-1.. it is Kexec
[Motorola Droid 4] ahjee:
Vanir/Commotio is a team that started building for Gnex initially, it's not a port.

Wifi does work, try a reboot or go into terminal , type su, then wifical.sh

the rest you are correct about.

I will try to get screen shots and maybe more info when I have more time
[Motorola Droid 4] ahjee:
Another maserati build is up for 8/22

For you people who are running or even just trying, if you experience any bugs please do your best to get a log. LOGS LOGS LOGS!

I assure you that DHO will work on fixes and squash them bugs if you get him a log...it is hard for me to get logs for this device as I don't own it my girlfriend does and she isnt always able to let me tinker with it so please get logs for us to get a better well rounded rom.

I am pretty sure this will be the fastest and most buttery rom for this phone if we all work together and get DHO logs of bugs we occur

[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Has anyone else tried this. Curious as how its working. Screenshots maybe?
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Just tried out the 08/22 build.

My observations:

Like the look and feel. Pretty quick in the limited amount of time I tested. Lots of mods/customization options. Keyboard works just fine. Hard keys are not working but can work around using pie control. More interesting is auto-rotate IS working. Last I checked this was still not working on CM10.2. Did not get a chance to test wifi and, like je2854 said, the dialer is not working. Doesn't force close, just brings up blank screen.

So, still some bugs to be worked out but a pretty solid start. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses. Thanks DHO and ahjee.

P.S. I tried to take a screen shot but the power button + volume down did not work. Is there a different way of taking screen shots in 4.3 or is this just a bug?
[Motorola Droid 4] je2854:
have you used the Xposed Modules for 4.3? it works without fail.
