[Q] early boot messages - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I had UrukDroid 0.7 working on an Archos43. It was booting but now it can not boot from the microSD card. Is there any way to access the serial console or display the boot message to get an idea of what may be wrong?
If you remove the microSD card it will eventually boot the original Android installation.

You have Urukdroid 1.0 ?
I don't know whether there is a function that show you what goes wrong...
Im not sude, but maybe theres an app for this, but if you install it on normal Archos Android Os
it dont "record" the boot of Urukdroid

[Q] Unable to access my SD card and some boot looping problems

hi guys ... im not sure what exactly is the problem so i will give as much detail as possible :
i just flashed to Cyanogen Mod 7.0.0 RC4 with radio 7.05. the problem started when after i want to upgrade to 7.0.2 of CM7. i tried going into recovery as per usual but instead of the terminal showing up normally, it appeared for a split second before dissappearing and shows me the triangle with ! sign ( when the terminal dissappeared , my windows popped up some unable to install qualcom drivers ... i don't know what drivers they are .. but i think its USB )
i tried to reboot by taking out the battery and putting back in, only to be stuck in a boot loop.
I am able to get out of the bootloop by connecting the usb cable and either going recovery ( where it wont even show the triangle with ! sign , it will just power on normally , loading CM7 ) or going to "clear storage" and choose "no" while usb is connected , it will reboot and start loading CM7 as per normal.
so after it loads CM7 RC4 normally ... i tried going into my sdcard to re-place the 7.0.2 zip ROM but i cant even connect to my sdcard via USB ... in settings it showed "Unavaliable" and there is an erase option but when i tried to use it ... it only shows "SD card removed"
i know this is a rather complex problem but i would be greatly thankful if you can help me out. Thank you guys so much!
To summarise :
Bootlooping unless connected via USB and going into recovery / choosing no when asked whether to clear storage
Unable to access my SD card when successfully booted up
if it helps* ( i think i wiped ONLY the dalvic cache ( no cache/factory format ) before the recovery terminal dissappeared ) , treat this info as volatile ... i can't remeber if this statement is true or not.
Sound slike sd card failure...WHY?
If your using an ext partition some apps or cache are there,therefore failure of sd can make a bootloop..
Plus not booting into recovery properly could mean it cant use the update.zip to boot recovery..
Try another sdCARD see if that works,ive killed 2 cards and had similar problems
... and remember.. No questions in Dev. section...

[Q] Can't access device directory, no clockworkmod, & no viewsonic birds

First off, thanks to all of the developers and everybody for putting together all of the great info in these forums. I'll try and keep my questions concise (but give enough details).
I got my Gtab in the mail on April 15. I was able to successfully install ClockworkMod & CyanogenMod with no issues. I did not have a micro-sd at the time and when I plugged my gtab into the computer it seemed to install a driver and I was able to access my gtab's device directory--fast forward to yesterday.
Since round 1 of installing the Rom went better than I expected, I thought I would try to upgrade to the latest version of CyanogenMod or try out Vegantab. When I attempt to load ClockworkMod, I receive the "recovery key detected", the Android on a black screen no viewsonic birds before that, and then just standard cyanogenmod boot-up.
So I thought I would install Clockwork again. When I plug in my Gtab, I can only access my micro-sd card that I purchased last week (no device directory). I moved the files manually (via Astro) to /mnt/emmc as I thought this was the device directory....still no clockworkmod. Astro wouldn't let me via not giving me the option to copy to the / directory, not sure why. Under storage settings, I have an SD card, Internal Storage, Additional storage /mnt/emmc, & additional storage /mnt/usbdisk (not sure if that is relevant or not)
Just wondering how I can get clockworkmod installed again or how to move the recovery and update.zip to a location it will recognize? Seems odd the Viewsonic Birds don't greet me anymore as well. Am I stuck in some sort of boot process?
Just kind of wondering where to go from here as I would like to try out different roms. Thanks in advance!
i have the same problem on my gtab with VEGAn-TAB GE RC1
All Right! I got this whipped. I had to use NVFlash to boot into ClockworkMod. Moral of the story. Do not touch anything that says RomManager!!!

SOLVED [Q] How to Boot from an SD card without changing stock OS

It's been awhile since I've done anything root/rom related, so I am just a bit rusty. (And I apologized for the long post).
I have no problems following directions, just need to find them. I have searched, but I have been on so many posts/pages, my head is spinning at this point.
Background:
Back in 2012 I rooted and installed everything internally on EMMC. (CWM, etc...)
I decided I wanted to go back to stock OS and run alt OS system from SD Card. I decided on this: CM10.2 Jellybean (Android 4.3) for Nook Tablet (IMG/SDC Boot) (22AUG2013) for an SD card.
(On that post, he has a boot zip and an image file for the 10.2.0-RC0_09AUG2013_HD_SDC_IMG. version. No image for the (22AUG2013) version.)
So, I used the file from this post: [Stock Firmware]Restore Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet 16G 1.4.0 from SDCard and was able to get back to stock, no problem. Currently running Nook OS version 1.4.2
I formatted a SD Card using SDFormatter, and burned the above mentioned image (10.2.0-RC0_09AUG2013_HD_SDC_IMG) using win32diskimager-v0.9-binary.
My dilemma:
The Nook will not boot from the SD Card. I put the SD Card in the Nook. I tried starting it normal, (power button only), and it booted to stock.
I tried the power & n (home) key, release power while holding n key, still boots to stock.
So, I added the boot file to the SD Card, first just the unzipped boot file, then I copied all the files in the boot folder straight to the card.
Same result, boots to stock. Tried booting with USB plugged into computer. Still boots to stock.
So, I read a little more, and flashed the repart.img, thinking maybe some of my previous root files were hanging around somewhere inside.
Did the same sequence burning the files on the SD Card as before. Same results. Nook always boots stock.
Can someone direct me to a post, or a solution, that I may have missed in my endless search on here?
I don't want to root if I don't have to. Everything I'm reading seems to indicate that I should be able to boot from an SD Card.
Am I missing a step? Do I have to run the Block OTA's first? At this point I am so confused.
Currently running Nook OS version 1.4.2
(Thanks to anyone who reads this whole thing. I just wanted to list everything I did.)
I can't see any mention of the standard boot from sd for troublesome Tablets: Turn off device, insert card, then insert USB cable connected to wall adapter.

+1.
The power source doesn't have to be an wall adapter, PC or a connected USB hub would work just as well.

So, I tried the wall socket method, and same non-results.
I am going to partition the SDcard and build it with the cm_acclaim_10.2.0-RC0_22AUG2013_HD_SDC files and see if that works.
We'll see how that goes
Thanks for the replies from both of you. Glad to know someone is willing to help with my quandry

Well, it worked using the partitioned card! Maybe I just got a bad download of the rom image file.
Thank you guys again for the replies. Greatly appreciated !

[Q] Prestigio PMP3270B Stock ROM in .zip form

Hi
Anyone know where I can download the title file?
My cousin's tablet is stuck in some infinite loop on the PrestigioWizard. After the Wi-Fi screen it keeps returning back to Welcome screen after displaying "Unfortunately, PrestigioWizard has stopped." message.
I manage to get into settings through system tray and tried both "Factory data reset" and "Recovery Mode" to no vail. The image from Prestigio website doesn't help either. The cool utility, PhoenixCard Tool included in there requires I burn the image from a PC with a single slot card reader. Not sure where to get a PC like that in this moment in history. Although I manage to burn this image on the micro SD card from Linux using the dd command, the tablet gives the "Damaged SD card" message when I try to boot from it, but it can mount the same SD card after I re-format it back to FAT32.
ADB can install applications onto the tablet and they get listed in the Apps section in Settings but there is no way to run them from the tablet because Prestigio Wizard is in front of the launcher.
So, I believe a *.zip ROM will help by flashing it from recovery mode and any link(s) will be highly appreciated.
