Hi

Am New so have been trying to do my homework before trying to root my Nook Tablet 16GB.

Found "Alternatively you could leave the device alone entirely and flash one of these custom roms to a card, similar to how you flash clockworkmod to a card and use that to boot into a rom, never needing to modify the device internal memory at all." by Cubanluke88 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2037368

As a beginner who has Never Rooted Anything, I like this A Lot!!! Appreciate comments!!!

Also found "“Many NTs (including mine) will only boot off SD card from a power-off state and upon insertion of a powered USB cable” by OrangeTang

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439630&page=19 Since this was posted 20th May 2013, am wondering if this is necessary for All Nook Tablets?

There is a Lot of Info concerning the Nook Tablets and I have only started so would greatly appreciate any tips!!!

Thanks

Ken

I think there is not much to be gained by preserving the stock configuration, unless you just want to do that while you shop around for a ROM. Eventually you will want to flash a CM ROM. That would leave you with a faster performance plus more storage on the SD card.

Here's what I did when I got my 16 GB NT from ebay--and would do again. If you have a local B&N store call and see if they will/still can repartition your device. This unlocks much internal storage. There are guides for doing this yourself, but it's risky for a newbie. Try B&N first if that's an option.

Next take a look here. This is the guide I used to get to CM 10.2.1 from stock (you can back up stock as part of the process in case you have buyer's regret). This would give you a solid Jellybean system.

User digixmax also has a guide for CM 11 or 12 which you can follow on a 10.2.1 system as if it were stock. I just did that to get to CM 12.1 (Lollipop) after a little over a year on 10.2.1. That guide is here. Read through the thread for files that worked for CM 12, or follow directions for CM 11.

But I really would take the internal plunge and start with CM 10. It was "easy" for me as a noob due, in no small part, to the excellent directions.

My tablet is apparently one of the rare ones that does not need to be plugged in to boot from an SD card.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
First, you won't get quite the same responsive performance running ROM off SDcard as you'd get running the same ROM natively on internal memory (aka EMMC).

Second, I am not aware of any recent CM build that is compiled to run on SD, so you'd be limited to somewhat dated CM versions. The most recent SD-based CM build I know of is posted at https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...droid-4-4-4-for-nook-tablet-sdcimg-xxsep2014/.

Finally, if your NT cannot boot off SD without using a powered-USB cable, you will likely find yourself stranded on stock ROM if your NT reboots for any reason while you're out and about.

Your NT might be amongst the lucky few which can cold-boot on SD, and there is only one way to find out: try it out yourself :).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] KenithO:
nmyshkin & digixmax,

Thanks again for your suggestions!

While new to the Nook Tablet have been repairing Windows PCs for a while which is why I was excited to find out that it can boot from a mSD card. Normally I use Hiren's Boot CD on Bootable USB Device but have tried all ones listed at "Top 5 Free Rescue Discs for Your Sys Admin Toolkit" http://www.gfi.com/blog/top-5-free-rescue-discs-for-your-sys-admin-toolkit/

At this time I am not interested in speed differences or preserving the stock configuration, only want to get some experience before deciding on a ROM.

Cubanluke88's statement "Alternatively you could leave the device alone entirely and flash one of these custom roms to a card, similar to how you flash clockworkmod to a card and use that to boot into a rom, never needing to modify the device internal memory at all." was the first I read that you could boot the Nook Tablet using a mSD card.

Since then I have done some searches to find what Android Devices can boot from a SD card but to date have not found a listing. If anyone has any info would be interested!

Also hope someone has made a small version of Android with various recovery or testing tools like Hiren's!

The closest I have found are "UnBrick Tutorials" such as "How To Unbrick You're Phone | Any Android Version" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN2b6Fi9uEo

digixmax,

Clarification: should I follow the newer guide of [HOW-TO] Installing CM10.x Internally on Nook Tablet http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51377882&postcount=163 or the original http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2056626

I have read the 3 versions but being new to Android (and Linux) am a little apprehensive.

Is there anything prebuilt that I could just copy to a mSD card.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:

digixmax,

Thanks again for all the links!

CM11.0 KitKat (Android 4.4.4) for Nook Tablet (SDC/IMG) (01OCT2014)

https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...-4-for-nook-tablet-sdcimg-xxsep2014/#comments is the way I will try 1st.

"Create a bootable micro SDCard. Read my previous posts on creating bootable SDCard or look it up on XDA or follow the instructions in the SDCARD IMAGE section." Any recommendations for beginners?

"If you want to install the ROM from your SDCard, you need to create a 250MB BOOT partition to store the ROM."

Had hoped would not need to do this. Any Suggestions as to size etc? Also am thinking it may be easier for me to do this in Windows?

Read the comments and thought would go with CM11.0 KitKat (Android 4.4.4) since Trevor said "It appears your work is done here. The last build has been superb. Very fast and stable."

[XDA Assist] Hag101:
Hi I run android 4.1.2 on an unactivated at&t z998 with no sim card and I'm wondering if its possible to still get data? It shows the cell signal up by the WiFi signal so I was wondering if there was a way to use it. Thanks in advance!
[XDA Assist] Art Vanderlay:
Hi

Thanks for using XDA Assist.

Without a sim card you can't get any data or cell except for emergency calls. Your phone is a wifi only device now.
[XDA Assist] Hag101:
So is there a way I could still get some sim card that's just unactivated and use that somehow? I know that you can get one somewhere. If I do then what would be my next step?
[XDA Assist] xunholyx:
No.

When I log in to msn (after hard reset, or soft reset) I can see all my online contacts who are online atm. When I log in another time, I do not see any online contacts, but they are able to talk te me... hard reset and/or soft reset does not help, running on official WM6 right now. A solution anyone?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] uxsebas:
Really strange, your using T-Mobile Internet also in the Netherlands? I use it too, i have this problem also with official WLM, seems to be an network problem i guess (if i connect by wifi it seems to work always) :rolleyes:
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Amon-X:
I am having the same problem. It started about a week ago. Is it a dutch problem?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] bio88:
It the MSN version we have build in our roms. Build 1400 was known not to have this bug. My friend has a HTC Touch with an official rom, but he also has the same problem.

But when i installed build 1400 on my Herald, it got stuck in a boot loop.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] iTeQ:
No problem here and i live in Holland and have T-Mobile Web&Walk, works like a charm.

check if you have for access point : internet (small letters) , i say this because the network wizard makes it internet-acs or something like that which doesn't work correctly.

Also check if you have proxy disabled.

Cheers
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] uxsebas:
Hi, i live also in the Netherlands and i have the same network as yours (T-mobile), i know the network wizard is configuring an connecting with internet-act, i change this everytime i have hard reseted my device, but that's not really the problem, everything online works great, only the contacts don't show up when i sign in, my contact are able to chat with me (can also chat back, but they have to start the conversation). It's an really anoying problem, has anyone an solution for this?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] iTeQ:
I have to come back on what i've said....i have now the same ****...no online contacts but i am connected and can chat with people when they leave me a message.

i think the problem has to do with the t-mobile provider. gonna give em a call next week.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] speedfight:
I Also have dutch T-Mobile and had the same problem last week.. I installed different newer versions without succes. Now I installed the 1400 version and my contacts are back online!

Now I only have the problem that I cannot sync windows live mail... It is working with an other account on my device so i'll have to contact Microsoft about this.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] The Dutchman:
1400 does the trick

I also installed the WLM build 1400 and the prob is solved:) But i don't have any sync problems! try reinstalling, you'll never know:)

hi friend i noticed now when i put the brightness at low level my screen flickering but with the high brightness its normale and the screen is good...so i record the flickering with screen recorder to show if the flickring appear in the video but i dont see the flickering appear in the vedio...i have the latest firmware 5.0.no root...so what is the probleme how can i stop the flickering help me
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
This is something I've started to notice myself in the last couple of days on my device, G900F. I use auto brightness always, but when it lowers brightness sometimes for 1 or 2 seconds it will lightly flicker. But this is only like once or twice in a day, and usually only when I'm in a really dark room.

I will admit I have dropped my phone hard 2 or 3 times in the last month. Though with a gel case and glass screen protector. And my phone was bought second user. Made in 2014.5.6 so quite old too.

I am rooted running a debloated stock ROM. But I feel it's more hardware than software.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] znayver:
tnx for share your experiance...but i dont think its a hardware probleme bcz if its a hardware probleme why when i record the vedio of the flickring the flickring dont apear in the vedio some i think the amoled have this issus maybe its a probleme with the screen but i dont think its a motherbord issus bcz in the vedio the flickring dont apear when i recorde with screen recorder..or maybe a software probleme with lollipop
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolf80:
I confirm it's an hardware problem. If you record your screen,it's obivious that the flickering does not show up. Because you are recording the output of the GPU. And the GPU is not faulty,the LCD is. I did bring my S5 for the flickering problem to Samsung,and the refused to repair under warranty because of Knox 0x1. I live in Europe,and there is Statuatory Warranty,which they have to give. Now I am gonna sue them legally,let's see what happens.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] znayver:
so the lcd is the probleme and have a probleme and not the motherbord???please tell me..I have no money now to fix the problem ... Now as you said the problem in the screen Is the problem can be grow up in the screen or the problem will remain only in the low brightness and something will not fall for the screen
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
I'd put my money on screen over motherboard. Though I only noticed this after changing from firmware BOJ1 to BOK6, but this may just coincidence or bad timing, and haven't seen it again personality since the other night. Your best bet is to either use manual brightness or an app called lux brightness control, and set the lowest value to one that doesn't cause the flickering. And save your money for either a repair or new phone.

Have you tried a factory reset? It's a long shot but worth a try.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] znayver:
tnx my dear...so you change your motherbord and your screen and the probleme style appear????no i dont try the factory reset
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
No sorry think you misunderstand my talk. I'm saying your better off spending your money on a screen rather than a new motherboard, but with prices of second user S5 phones it may work out better to get another phone. Best to put up with it with the fixes suggested and save up for another phone if a factory reset doesn't help. Can see a repair being a costly thing.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] znayver:
tnx dear :) so you suggested to dont lost my money on a motherbord and change my screen?so my motherbord is good and the probleme in my screen?bcz i tell you that i make a video with screen recorder to see if the flickring appear in the vedio but i dont show the flickring in the vedio so you think that my screen have the probleme?tell me can this probleme grow in the future or the probleme will appear jut in the low brightness??note:some time my screen dont flickring and some time flickrt
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
How old is your phone? Have you used it a full brightness a lot? Or left the screen running continuously for long periods of time a lot?

Could be a fault or could be normal deterioration of the phone with age.

I'm not an expert so I could not tell you 100% what to do. I'm just guessing... If you're phone is less than 2 years old and your Knox is intact get Samsung to fix it. Otherwise just put up with it until you get another phone one day. A new screen or a new motherboard will cost you. Your going to have to pay for it to be fitted also.

Your recording is coming from the chips on the motherboard not what you see on the screen.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] znayver:
yes this is what i mean the vedio dont show the flickring so the probleme with the screen and not the motherbord if the mothebord have a probleme then i will show the flickring in the record vedio.and you are right i dont have mony now to change anything...i will the screen will not dammaged in the future...i iam happy bcz the mother bord is good and just the screen have this probleme but the probleme is not running continuously for long periods its runnig some time in low brightness and yes i use the screen for long period...i buy my phone 1 years ago in a shop but with not warranty.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kn00tcn:
(android version/rom is not firmware) isnt the latest 5.1.1? are you saying stock samsung? i remember it had a power or battery option that did something to the display, when the option is enabled, the display is slightly darker, so try changing this option to see if flickering is different

i dont understand what kind of flickering either, from total black to on? or slight difference in brightness? or from your brightness setting to maximum? does it happen always or when certain apps are in use?

even if the motherboard has damage, you will not see it in the recorded video, the recording happens BEFORE it is transmitted out of the gpu driver, you should always record with another camera physically
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] znayver:
tnx friend..no i use stock rom 5.0 the latest rom for my device...i dont use any battrey option like power saving mode or anything because my battrey is good...the flickring is like the led off and on like low flashing.but only in the low brightness i show this probleme when i use google chrome or opera mini or any browser or vedio.but in game i dont show anything some time when i play a vedio the vedio stop 1 second and play again...the flickring dont happen always but sometime happen some time dont happen....and i noticed this is 3 weeks its happen one time when i play vedio i noticed a lot of color flickring and its stoped after 4 second its happen 1 time...please tell me how can i check this is a motherbord problem or screen problem?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kn00tcn:
but see, OLED screens dont have a backlight, so the whole image changing its brightness all at once is unexpected

you really need to use another camera to show us, maybe ask samsung for help

This is to OP.

YOU really need to stop messing with you're phone and learn what you're doing before you actually brick you're phone. What you have right now is not a brick and is incredibly easy to fix for someone who knows what they're doing. Do some reading and learning or you're going to end up with a fancy paperweight.
