Can I install the stock recovery ROM and stock official Dell ROM without using the PC "fastboot"? recharge my Dell strea 5 only and does not enter the SDcard into PC, possibly damage does not show me the option to enter the SD, pls help!!!!
A connection to a PC and the Fastboot executable are required to flash the stock recovery. The external MicroSD is required as a storage location for the stock ROM. The stock recovery looks on the root of the MicroSD for a file named "update.pkg". If it doesn't find the file for whatever reason it will throw up an error.
If your external MicroSD is not reading properly, try a different MicroSD. My 32GB Class 4 MicroSD sometimes is not recognized by the Streak if I boot into StreakMod Recovery and thus I have to reboot and shut down a second time. Yet the 16GB Class 2 card that came with the device works without such a problem. I've determined that my Streak simply doesn't like Class 4 cards. Yet given how little I boot into recovery, it's not a major problem for me, especially as I know what the cause is, even if there isn't exactly a cure.

So I had a restore point on my TMo Stock rom created using the Clockworkmod recovery. I tried to update to Axura 2.1 from 2.0.5 today and the update messed up halfway. I'm going to take a wild guess it's my horrible mac book pro's wrong doing, faulty download (I'm a mac hater, it's a company issue device). Anyway, my phone is basically stuck at recovery and I have to wait till I head home to use the USB Cable and redownload the rom.
So my questions:
1. Is there no way to access the external SD Card? So I thought of copying a new download of the rom to the external SD, but all I can access is the internal SD card contents when installing zip from sd card. I tried to mount ext-sd (or sd-ext?) and it fails.
2. I tried restoring to the restore I created when I had my stock rom. It seems to go through it but then it just goes back to the recovery after reboot?
3. When I go home, how do I copy the files to the internal SD Card? For some reason, I don't think it's as easy as pluggin the usb cable to the phone while in Recovery mode?
Help would be appreciated.
I used ODIN to get CWM on the phone, and when i boot into CWM i tried to install the root .zip file but it always says it can not mount SD card. any suggestions on how to resolve? No issues with the SD card when trying to access it from within the OS or through windows when connected to the pc.
you can try to reformat it via a pc, but your best bet is to replace it with a class 6 or higher unit.
I will give that a try when I get home. Thanks
I had an issue awhile back where I couldn't mount the SD in recovery unless I booted from power off (not reboot).
I ended up using my sd card from my droid x2. It worked fine with that one. Thanks for the suggestion. Once I got root I just put my original card back in since it works fine from within the os.
My nook tablet is bricked
Turn on the tablet will see the screen will a big n
and nothing happen
I tried to boot from sdcard but it seem don't recognize the sdcard during boot
putting zip files on sdcard is not working
CWM sdcard and ubuntu sdcard also not working
cannot get into CWM and how can I fix it?
I spend over 5 hours but nothing work......
Sometimes the SD Card boot "only" works by plugging in the nook power cable.
I tried more than 50 times by plugging the power cable and still the same....
BTW thank you for answering, if you have any other method, once I can do it, I will try it....
Is the Nook store near by ?
Sad to say no...
I am from Hong Kong....
What SD card are you using, i.e. Class and brand.
The higher class cards do not work all that well for booting from. The Sandisk Class 4 card, any size I imagine, works well for booting off card.
Not sure if this is your problem, but trying a different card my be a good direction to go for a fix, if you can get into CWM it will help.
Also, what specifically did you do/try to get yourself to this point? Always helps to know how you broke it to be able to fix it.
I am using sandisk class sd card
This happen will I try to change back from CM9 with new kernel and TWRP to CWM and CM7.2
After flashing CM7.2 and CWM, it successfully boot for once and then get into this situation on next reboot
I tried ubuntu recovery, sdcard version CM7.2 and this, but nothing work....
It looks like you have a similar problem to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27381972. I think, form skimming over the thread they were able to get into CWM from sdcard - after many attempts. If you can get to that point you should be able to get an adb connection where as you can work your way out of this. Just read the linked thread, it should point you in the right direction.
Good Luck
I tried more than 100 times still noting happen
But when plugging in the power cable and boot the tablet, the indicator keep orange light and not green as it is in that post...
more options
what sdcard version of CWM are you using? you should try with another sdcard just in case, the procedures for a succesful CWM sdcard are the following:
For Windows users:
- Power off your NT and remove sdcard
- Put your sdcard into a card reader (preferably)
- Format your sdcard with SDFormatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/eula_windows/ (recommended) or any other but not windows native.
- Download latest Win32DiskImage-binary.zip from https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download (v5.0 recommended)
- Unzip the file
- Run Win32DiskImage.exe - Right click "run as administrator"
- Click the folder button and navigate to select the .img file you just unzipped.
- Click on the disk drive letter label on the right, and choose the letter that corresponds to your SD card.
- Press Write. When it finishes, press Exit.
- Safely eject/remove your sdcard and put it back to your NT
- Plug your device to the a/c power or PC using the USB cable, let it power on by itself do not press any button.
WARNING: This will completely erase your microSD card. Be sure to back it up!

OK let me get in puter I have other options. Obviously something in the boot process is corrupted
Edit: back!
Please try the following:
1. Verify the md5sum the ROM(s) you want to install just to make sure is not corrupted
2. Follow the instructions i posted in here to flash another CWM to discard CWM being part of the problem. Now as you already have the CWM sdcard you just need to add 8gb-16gb_cwm_internal.zip to the sdcard then boot again into CWM sdcard and flash that package
3. After that remove your sdcard and select reboot system now from the CWM menu, if your device boots fine then Congrats, if not then read the options below:
4. Read and try this. If no go, goto #5:
5. Read and try this
LAST RESOURCE:
6. [unbrick] - Fixing partition table, or completely dead nook. Use this ONLY if you have the 16GB model as you did not mention that detail in your posts i'm giving you a warning!

Right i forgot to add that @meghd00t's cwm sdcard already contain the 2 files (tools) that @soshite was talking about , so basically you just need the cwm sdcard, my partition images and adb working.
BTW what happened with option 2-3?

after trying option 6, the tablet now can boot into internal CWM
But after I flash CM7, it still keep booting into CWM rather than CM7....
Thanks for all, I can now get into the stock 1.4.0
I flash the flash-restore-stock.zip from here in CWM
and then using acclaim_update.zip to restore the tablet back to 1.4.0
I guest I may change the boot data and get mess up with it
Finally, thanks again for all help:laugh:
Yeah, for everyone else out there:
You must have stock recovery in order for the acclaim_update.zip to work.
Hello all,
I picked up a NT with the sdcard method pre set up on it. I have since converted it to CM Internal and CWM internal as I do not care for the B&N firmware at all and i wanted better performance. My gripe is that CyanoBoot boots to the SDcard by defailt and not only that but to a cm7 nightly partition. I want to simply replace the bootloader instead of running an "altboot." Does any one know if their is a good reliable bootloader for the NT? Perhaps a CyanoBoot or Unlocked stock bootloader? I want my SDcard to simply be an SDcard and the NT to be internal CM like any other tablet. I at the very least want to remove the cm 7 and cm 9 options from the boot options and erase them from the SDcard as I am running cm10.2 internal and they are just a waist of space on my SDcard. Thank you.
P.S.
Oh I am also having a bootloop where my NT stock boots to internal CWM. My work around thus far after reflashing a few different CWM recovery's is to insert USB power turn the NT on then remove USB power when I see the large "N", then hold the "n" button and manually select internal mmc. The boot loop started when I used the 1 click recovery install method offered by the latest version of [ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool by DsLNeXuS. I did flash Irrecovery2.img and that solved the problem but removed my recovery all together and I was still booting to the SDcard... So i am currently using CWM 2.0.2.8 and using my USB Power work around.
Thanks again I hope you guys have some Ideas.

I think your bootable SD card is messing things up.
Maybe you should make over your MicroSD card.
Below is what I did to get my 8gb Nook Tablet running Jelly Bean and later Kitkat on the internal memory.
I first made a bootable MicroSD card using the following method:
Part 1:
On My computer I:
1. Formatted my Sandisk Class 4, 8gb micro SD card using SDFormatter
2. Downloaded: "cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD-SDC-img."
3. Used win32diskimager-v0.7 to write the above img file to the MicroSD card in my MicroSd/USB adapter
4. Used Mini Partition tool to expand the SDCARD partition on the MicroSD card to incorporate all the unallocated space on the MicroSD card.
This gives you a nice set up of CM 10 that runs off the MicroSD card, and gives the card room to hold lots of apps. However, to take the next step and install the system into internal memory, read on.
Part 2: Installing system internally
1. I downloaded "cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD.zip" (note this is not the same as the one above)and "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip" to my computer, put my Bootable MicroSD into my USB card reader and copied the above two zip files onto the MicroSD card. (only the "BOOT" partition showed up on my computer)
2. I plugged the Nook USB cable into the wall and into the powered off Nook and waited for it to turn itself on. (Powering on a Nook this way seems to tell the Nook to go to the MicroSD card first to find boot instructions) When the Cyanoboot bootloader appeared, I pushed the N button . That opened up the bootloader menu.
3. I selected "SDC Recovery" which took me to Clockwork mod recovery 6.0.2.7 on the MicroSD card.
4. To navigate around the Cyanoboot bootloader menu and Clockwork mod recovery menu, I used the volume buttons to move up or down, and N to select items and the power button to go back.
5. I first navigated to "Wipe data/factory reset" on the Clockwork mod recovery menu, and pushed N. When that operation was completed, I went back and selected "install zip from sdcard" and installed the "cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD.zip" file.
6. I then went back and selected "install zip from sdcard" again and this time installed the "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip" file.
7. I removed the MicroSD card from the Nook, went back and selected "reboot system now" and the tablet booted the Cyanoboot bootloader and then directly booted CyanogenMod 10 and Android Jelly Bean internally.
In this setup, the Cyanoboot bootloader and Clockwork mod 6.0.2.7 are installed internally, so at any power on, I can push the N button and get into the Cyanoboot bootloader menu and choose internal recovery to get to Clockwork mod 6.0.2.7. Once I'm in Clockwork mod 6.0.2.7, I can do backups or install more zip files to update.
Hope something in this helps
I am a complete newbie to rooting. I followed the kingoroot guidelines and rooted my Idea Aurus 3 phone. Root was success. The next step I did was downloading custom recovery and cyanogenmod ROM from here to my memory card
I flashed the custom recovery with flashify. The next step I did was wiping all data from the device by entering in to recovery mode (including cache and everything)
I was hoping I could simply install zip from sd card. But when i click on this option, I cannot find my sd card nor zip file (I checked most folders including emmc, etc, sd-ext and couldn't find SD card. The custom recovery name is Phylz touch 6
Now basically I have a phone without OS and all I can do is accessing custom recovery. I don't have a back up too
I can also see an error log "Cannot mount custom path"
I formatted the memory card to exFAT from FAT 32 hoping that would work, it didn't help as well.
Also tried to connect phone to pc using USB (thinking I can move rom to system memory), but wouldn't detect phone memory
Now, is there any way to get this fixed? Any help would be awesome
Thanks!!!
Mount USB option is how you see phone from computer if I remember correctly I haven't used cwm in awhile I always use twrp

download ur rom again.
put it on another sd card and flash the rom from sd.
or there's always a way to flash stock
If u were on philz 6, u cud just hit 'clean
to install a new rom ' and flash ur rom without wiping extra anything.

Do you mean external sd card or internal SD card if you have a external sd card pop it out of your phone and use an SD card adapter on a pc and place the ROM and appropriate gapps on it

I mean external sd card. The ROM is in external sd card, but i cannot see it in recovery mode.
Also, I just tried to sideload rom by using sdk tools.
The result i got was:
C:\Program Files (x86)\platform-tools>adb sideload cm-12-20150320-OFICIAL-5020.z
ip
loading: 'cm-12-20150320-OFICIAL-5020.zip'
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (couldn't read status): Connection reset

Remove sd card and reinsert it while in cwm and in twrp you mount partitions do the equivalent for cwm for your SD card and make sure your SD card is not corrupted
sent from my nexus 4 I also own a voyager tablet and an I-phone 4s
Resolved!! Yay!!
Finally, all fixed.
Let me explain what I did:
I was not able to see zip or sd card in recovery mode. So I pushed the zip file to data/media/0 and installed zip by browsing to that path.
I was not able to flash Cynogenmod, because during the process the reboot was in to my old logo, So I assume it was failure. Then I downloaded a stock rom of my phone model and pushed it to the same location and installed it.
Now, is working fine so far.
Thanks everyone!

I have to remove battery to insert card, so I cannot do that while in recovery mode. However I was able to push the zip to system memory with adb (sdk tools). Cynogen mod didnt work for me, so I used a stock one again
I will still search for a new version as this one is JB 4.1
Well glad you got it fixed
