Now that we've released CM7 again for the NT I thought I'd best start up a proper support thread. Pleas keep it as back reports and help.
Please use this thread to post feedback and to ask questions. The Dev thread is for exactly that, development and not support! Please keep the development thread clear of support and feedback posts.
Live support may be available on irc.freenode.net irc channel #nook-tablet-chat, if any of us are around we'll be happy to help but don't bug people if they are busy please. A web version of irc is available here http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=nook-tablet-chat
When posting a bug or issue please use the following format
Which install are you using (Internal or SD):
What version is your CM7 download that you are using (should be alpha final now):
Do you have any mods on your NT (updates or system modifications)
If yes to above what have you installed
Where is this bug (main system or which application):
Can this bug be easily replicated:
If yes to above how can we replicate it to check:
Description of the bug
Any other information we may find useful
Know bugs for Internal version will be in post #2

I'm awaiting a Mod cleanup of this thread and all previous bugs up until the new release will be removed from this thread, should knock it back down to about 2 or 3 pages and give me the 2nd and 3rd posts I mention above.
Bugs / Issues from the internal version
Market will not work properly after the update unless you install the GApps (follow link in Dev thread)
Wifi sometimes does no reconnect after sleep, simply tap on the status bar to get notification up and toggle wifi off / on and it should reconnect.
There is currently no Reboot to Recovery option in the power menu, you can do this instead by going to rom manager (make sure it's updated via Market / Play)
Mounts aren't working properly due to a typo on 2 lines in build.prop. update zip to be flashed via CWM available HERE
There is still a possible issue with formatting. A member has said that asking the software to format the /media partition totally wiped his entire device completely removing the partition table creating a paperweight. As has been mentioned many times in both thread about CM7, if any formatting needs to be done please do it from a computer and if in the case of the Media partition that's not possible just delete files instead of formatting. Due to the risk involved we have not yet attempted to recreate this issue on our own devices!
Bugs / Issues from the SD version
System will reboot if you remove the SD card, this is completely normal and you should not remove the SD while device is running from it.
Market will not work properly after the update unless you install the GApps (follow link in Dev thread)

Just reading the official B&N FAQ for the nook tablet, it indicates "Do NOT turn off your NOOK while it is charging; just allow it to go into sleep mode automatically".
I'd been turning it off to charge also, I think i'll follow their directions and see if it charges faster.
The question i'm quoting is: "How long does it take to fully charge my NOOK?" In the "hardware" category.

Thanks for the link. I'll try to charge it without turning the nook off. if it does charge faster, the question would be, "is there any way for it to charge quickly while off?"
On a side note,I did wonder why the nook would always boot up when I plug in the charger after the nook powered down from low battery.
Thank you sir
Just a quick thanks to Celtic & the rest of the people working on the Nook Tablet... thanks!!! Btw, on one of your forum thread pictures I've noted that your screen is quite smudgy. If you need a screen protector for your nook or any of your newer 8 GB models, let me know, at your service.
And as a side note, I've got absolutely no issues w/ your Alpha CM7 release. No wifi issues, nada. Perhaps this is because my wifi network is password less and only authentication method is via wireless mac filter. Only thing if anything is that sometimes (seldomly) when I swap SD Cards while it's powered on, the device will display the Cyanogen 7 boot animation while booted. A quick rotation from portrait to landscape mode fixes this and allows you to press the home button and "home on out" of this.
*** Btw, if you need a screen protector for any of your nooks, w/o hesitation let me know!! Thanks!

The wifi freezing / disconnecting and needing rebooting is the most well known bug of all. It's posted many times through this thread, it's also stated on the dev thread a few times. I don't mean to sound like many of the other grumpy Devs but please there is a search button! You can search a thread and see every mention of wifi quite easily!

Once isnt something to be ashamed of. You have nine posts. I dont know how much time you have spent on other forums, but searching isnt second nature for young folks new to sites like these.
Now, so long as you do your best not to let it happen again, Im sure no one will castrate you.
Lol, prolly feels a lot like walking into a church with a cowboy hat on.

Celtic, I have been thinking, now that you have a new version up, (By the way, you rock) are you going to start a new support thread? This one is VERY long and a little bit daunting, and I am sure that the new rom will bring with it new bugs. This one is almost excessively about video playback and wifi, and the new rom (As I understand) fixes both.
Who would have thought that casually asking if CM7 would be easier and less time consuming could have led to this well polished and very impressive result?

Watch this space
hi guys, just wanted to say about 2 issues that i saw on my NT.
1. The sleep issue - I've saw that was already posted about 5 pages ago, just wanted to tell i got it too ... after closing the NT the second day could not start it up... had to long press power button a couple of times (didn't knew about shortcut PWR + N button)
2. somehow related to the first one. While playing music, after approx 15 min the sounds stops . I've pressed the Pwr on NT and the playlist is on screen and a song appear to be playing but no sound. I've tried to go to running applications too force kill the app but a get a error message about Force/wait/ ... After that I tried to restart with long press and selected restart/shutdown but it doesn't do anything , again had to long press to shut it down.
Hope this helps, i could try to get some logs if that helps.
Thanks.

Well I finally had to downgrade to v2.6 before it would work correctly. It's not as feature-rich as the latest version, but it does work now.
Just noticed something...doesn't the first post normally have a link to the software being discussed?
I have been running your first release since its inception, and it has IMO, ran fantastic compared to the first release of CM7 for the old Nook Color at this current point. That NC unit and its early CM7 was a great way to learn to troubleshoot bootloops and SOD's!
Anyway, I downloaded your updated CM7 Alpha 12 straight to the tablet and installed. I wanted to try install with only a cache and dalvik wipe first. This went surprisingly well and has been running smooth for several hours now. So far so good!
The first glitch I had on install was the old Market and updated Google play seemed to fight each other with their update. Once the browser was up, I downloaded the new Google Play apk and installed overwritting the old Market directly. Then it took well. After a reboot, all apps were restored using Titanium Backup, and another reboot. I did have one point where I had to pop the SD and reinsert as expected but no prob there.
I want to thank you and all other Team B Devs for this great work. Donation inbound!

Good point!
This thread will be almost completely wiped soon when the new internal verison is released, its' getting rather long now and people don't read when it's only a few pages so with 65 pages theres no chance!
When the thread is cleared I'll add in links to the software at the begining too. I'll also be requesting that people post in a set manor. Something like
CM7 build download number (e.g. alpha 12)
Device version (8gb or 16gb)
Install type (sd or internal)
How long have you been running the build?
Short description of bug:
Have you had this bug more than once ?
Can this bug be reproduced on demand, if so how?
Hopefully that will make things easier for everyone ! Although I fully expect many people won't do it like that because they won't have even bothered reading the read to know to do it!
Celtic, do you still plan to release an SD card version also?

Just Flashed Rom
Ok, so this was a bit daunting for me. I've rooted my EVO several times, with several roms and had little difficulty. The NT, however was an horse of a different color.
I first used Nook and Zergy a month or so ago. Never got it working good, but good enough (better than stock B&N)
Then I tried using CMW_SD_flash_and_exe. After much frustration yesterday, I finally figured out that the NT won't boot from the SD card unless the power cable is plugged in. I could finally get into a boot loader program, but kept getting installation aborted when trying to install the ZIP. The CM7_NT_Alpha12_Public1.zip was too big once I made my SD card a boot loader, so I ended up copying this Zip to the tablet's internal memory and installing from there.
I don't know if i'm truly "rooted" in the sense that I can now boot the nook into recovery mode any time, or if I will need to use the SD card to load new ROMs.
My phone is working such that I can reboot into recovery mode any time I want without an SD card. Not sure how I would do that with the NT, or if I'm comparing apples to oranges as it were.
Anyway, all seems to be working, I wiped cache/dalvik cache/data and rebooted. CM7 seems to have loaded, I put in my google account and it's off to the races. After sharing my phones WiFi (thanks to being rooted) my NT is now dl all my installed apps. I think I upgraded to Play from Market so for now I think all is well! Sorry for the long post, but wanted to share my defeats and my success!

Get Indirects CWM App. It will perm install CWM so you can get to it by holding down Power + N (without need for SDcard).

You need to flash CWM internally if you want to be able to get to recovery like you do with your phone.

i just noticed that the "My Apps" button in the market now looks like a phone and says "sprint"
If i click on it it doesn't take me to my apps.
Anyone else having this problem?
That's normal for this build. If you click on your Menu, you'll find My Apps there.
Thanks you were right
Best ROM on XDA
+1
I'm really enjoying this ROM. The speed of the machine is phenomenal.
Love the Rom ad well but can't seem to get the market updated or to show all apps. Any thoughts?
I've tried market enabled to no avail.
Issue with ROM or with G-Tab?
I've noticed that if I let the g-tab go to sleep, I'm having to reboot it get it to wake up.
Is anyone else having this issue? I've had my tablet since x-mas, but have nto used it much. It sat in a desk drawer for about 2 months, and I'm just now getting into using it.

I have this issue with every rom ive tried on my gtab. So now I pretty much just install clem's kernel everytime. Plus it gives me CIFS so I can stream media from my windows pc .

Yeah, again it's just the build. There are a ton of hacks that will get you more of the market, but I doubt you'll ever get "everything". Considering that the GTab wasn't blessed by Google, we're lucky to have the devs here to get the market at all.

Another issue with this ROM. Some have fixed it by going to Clemsyn's kernel, others to Pershoot's and still others by using CPU Master Free. Personally, I just set my tab's Screen Timeout to Never. What can I say...I like simple.

I agree. The only problems I see with it are no news and weather widget like on tnt, and the horrible photo album (I think it's from stock?)
Fireware
This may be a stupid question, so I am sorry if it is, but Calkulins v1.1 says it is "Based on rooted 2.2 / FRF91 - TnT 3991"...
so can you run it on the 1.1-3588 firmware, or will that brick?
Again, sorry for my ignorance...
Thanks!
ROM's and Firmware are the same thing. If you're asking whether you can use ClockworkMod or standard recovery, the answer is yes. Calkulin's ROM is a hybrid using the newer 3991 build for features but the older bootloader and recovery. It shouldn't cause you any trouble loading it over 3588.
Thanks! Sorry, I confused the firmware with bootloader, thanks for straightening that out!
No problem. Just want to make sure that I understand the question correctly. Happy modding!
All Done!
Woot!! I will say, I bought this on the woot! deal... and although I consider myself very computer savvy, I have never rooted/hijacked/whatever a device before...
Happily this was super easy! I wanted use the stock ROM for a bit to get familiar with it, but I just couldn't stand how slow/unresponsive/just crappy it was!!
So I jumped the gun and started in... luckily I did a lot of reading first!!
Loaded up Clockworkmod - and made a backup first!! lol
Used clockworkmod to install Calkulins ROM---OMG is it fast!!
The found that I was having the sleep-death issue... so I loaded up Clemsyns Kernel Too!!
Not a single hiccup! Even for a noob- this is super easy! Just follow all the great advice on the XDA forums (and don't skip steps!) and you can't screw it up.
Thanks to all the great people on here, for the hard work, and patience... I love seen good communities like this!
DeadEnd
Which version of Clemsyns is recommended?
Hi,
clakulins ROM is my prefered ROM so far
But, it needs some issues to be addressed to make it my daily driver.
1- sleep-to-death
I know we can use another kernel to fix this (so I keep this fix for later if everything else can work)
2- Settings/Family accounts/add member
This FC every single time. I definitly need this functionality. My Gtab being a family device....
3- Photos is horrible as previosuly pointed out in this thread. I want a centralized place for all my photos, or at least for local storage + picasa. With this gallery, we can only access picasa public albums. What about my own account !!!
4- Photos started to display pictures roatated one quarter to the left. It doesnt let me re-rotate them back to original. It does that for evey single picture, i cant fix this. Photos is now unusable
I tried a few Photos gallery apps from the market (6-7 so far). None of them works to my liking.
I just want somethings simple that get access to all my pics.
5- Cant play videos anymore. Not even the sample 'car' and 'king kong' that came with the Gtab.
If I can fix all of the above, calkulin will be my only and permanent ROM.
(ps items 4 and 5 were previously working ok in this ROM, this started yesterday)
Also, another things that is on my whish list:
- Have bluetooth HID
I have this blutooth keyboard collecting dust on the used parts shelve that I would like to use with the Gtab
thank you calkulin for all,
So, I decided to install clemsyn kernel to fix this sleep-death problem.
No problem installing, everything went well.
But now instead of comlaining that it cant play videos, it just FC on every videos I try to play.
I feel a complete reinstall will be necessary.
I have read the threads of Prime owners that had a problem with random reboots. I was lucky that I hadn't had this problem. Actually the only issue I've had is that my GPS is completely dead. However, I notice that after the .14 update I am experiencing periodic reboots. Has anyone else (that didn't have a reboot problem before the recent update) notice a similar issue?? Thanks
My Tf prime was working fine on. 13 (but has random reboot on. 11)
after upgrade to. 14, Reboot issue comes back, so I downgarde to. 13 again....and it works great again

Make sure you do a cold boot after any firmware update. (hold vol down and power button). Ultimate solution is to do a factory reset. Especially if you experience problems. DO not install any apps. See what happens with factory. Then slowly install your apps from market and go from there.

I've tried the reset/cold boot (using the power/volume down option and also the reset below the SD card slot). Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do I do a factory reset? I've seen reference to it, but can't find a "how to" anywhere. Thanks again.
nope, mines was fine on .11 then when i updated to .13 i have the reboot and sleep of death issue. .14 update did not cause any issues yet...so far so good

Go to settings, Backup and reset, Factory data reset. Note, this will erase all your data, and your apps, but, if you have your tablet set to backup your Google account, once you enter it again on the initial setup, all the apps will restore to the tablet (Minus saved games)
If you are rooted, you can take ths further with Titanium Backup, grabbing saved games and whatnot. Also note: If you have ANYTHING of value, any docs or pictures on the internal memory (Shows as "SD Card), back all that up to a Micro SD, or somewhere in the cloud with Box.net, Skydrive or DropBox.
Finally, if you have any apps that need deactivation on one device before activating on another, such as CoPilot - HAHA - (A navigation app, hahahahaha... sorry, the tears were rolling on that one) better deactivate BEFORE you wipe the tablet.

The options are few if you have persistent rebooting at .11, .13 or .14. But at least now you HAVE options. Thanks to the good folks who figured out how to downgrade FW, and apply any level that works best for you (though I am truly puzzled why suppossedly identical hardware experiences the wide variations of outcome on each sucesive update. We cannot blame software installations (except in a few cases, such as the guy who turned WeatherBug Updates off) since quite a few folks have done a Factory Data Reset, with no change)
Search for a link to the thread that shows how to apply whatever version is most stable on your particular tablet.

Tried the factory reset...it did the reset, but it was to ICS and the .14 update automatically. It also started downloading all my apps automatically. I did another factory reset, but this time didn't enter my google account, the apps didn't auto download, but the freeze/reboot is still happening and if anything...it's worse. My tablet is all but useless now.
I downloaded ver 9.4.2.14 and now have more reboot issuses than I had before. Would reboot 1-2 times a day now reboots 2-3 times in a 30min time span. How do you go back to ver 13 was better than.
sorry to hear that manly..
I was fine with .11 and the .13 gave me bad battery and .14 gives me constant reboots. I followed advice about doing a cold reboot and it made the freeze/reboot issue worse. So like you my Prime is almost useless. I'm going to try and save my pics and then may try a factory reset. Which IMO we should not have to do if the firmware was done correctly.
I do need to look for the post about rolling back of a firmware that works.
Like everyone else, the .14 update has horribly ruined my device. Typing 1 email, the device rebooted 3 times. This should be a bigger deal then this! Does anyone know of a more social place to voice these complaints?

Just been experimenting - browsing seems to trigger my reboots (tried Chrome, Boat and stock) as does the XDA app, but just watched a couple hours of YouTube and no reboots. Did see a couple of strobing artifacts in the upper left hand corner when browsing videos.

I don't mean to spam but to reach out to everyone who is facing reboots, but lazy to search properly. ASUS doesn't seem to take this seriously at all. I gave them the steps and was asked to contact the local support instead.
Do the math, after so many firmware revisions, still facing reboots.

Thanks for mentioning this, I just added it into the instructions for everyone so they don't think they've messed up
there was no link to market. Flashed gapps and there still was no link to the market.
I sideloaded the market and it told me I was replacing a system app, overwrote it, now there is a market icon.
??
Also had to eject and re insert my sd card to be recognized.
Edit: Maybe there is not supposed to be, as I have never used CM7 before, but Busybox does not come with this ROM?

You need to connect to wireless first.

Edit: Maybe there is not supposed to be, as I have never used CM7 before, but Busybox does not come with this ROM?

As mentioned above you need to connect to wifi for market to show up. The SD card issue seems to effect certain devices, usually after the first time of having to eject and re insert your card it won't happen again
I swear too many threads to keep up with and u know I always read but yeah ill probably wipe ne ways just cuz start fresh and all

Yup . first thing I did was connect to wireless..Reflashed ROM , seems to be OK now.
Neither of these are high priority items but still can't access B&N store or magazines.
Otherwise very, very impressed.
I for one can say this is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, full market access. You guys have done a wonderful job putting this together. Fast to install. Fast to boot. Wifi setup no problem. This is what I can say that I have been waiting for--You have done yourselves proud. Thank you for what you have done.
setup wizard crash
so went through the steps. boot up.. and setup wizard along with everything else crashes out.. what do i do now?
installed gravity guy by unmounting SD. loving it so far!
OK - I will be the brave one here. I didn't want to lose all the customizations since the original download. So... I just installed the zip file and only wiped cache. So far I have given every app on my NT a quick run through and everything is working great. In fact, it came right up, automatically logged onto my wifi, and proceeded same as before. I love the new boot screen!
One note - I did get a FC message the first time I ran Google Maps. However, it still started up, even with the message. So I went back and started and stopped several times and could not replicate. Must be a start-up issue.
Second note - perhaps this is the "joy of a new toy" category, but my screen appears much crisper and with more details. In addition, when using a stylus, it is reacting much faster with more accuracy. Perhaps the video improvements helped this as well???
Overall - fantastic job guys.

Did you wipe data as suggested in the OP? I had similar problems first time I tried installing CM7 and then once I wiped Data all was well... Just know wiping data really does delete all you data so make sure you make a Titanium Backup before installing If you want to more easily restore your prior apps and data.
went back into recovery and wiped a second time.. all good now.. truly amazing btw

There should be no need what so ever to have to remove your SD card to install anything now, I just installed gravity boy with my SD card in.
If this is failing on your device please consider wiping data as it's possible you have some stuff left over from a previous install on your machine.
Wiping data will reset your device back to basic CM7 so you will loose anything installed and all your settings.
Performance seems to have improved to a noticeable degree. I know Gonce mentioned overclocking but I don't see evidence of that (at a glance).
Battery seems to be charging much more quickly. I was pretty low when I installed so can't speak to drainage yet.
Otherwise I haven't found any problems yet.
Well, followed your instructions to the T, Celtic, must say it's very impressive how quickly this is shaping up to be a great build. I also love that you now have the internal storage accessible within the OS as well. Very cool.
One minor thing though - it seems like my SD card isn't detected on boot. I've got to re-insert it when the device powers on. I know this isn't necessarily a big deal because most people keep it on from days to weeks putting it to sleep rather than fully powering off, but it is a tiny bit odd. Other than that, though, no other SD card issues to remark of so far. Excellent work. Truly excellent.
EDIT: I also took the liberty of linking to your fancy new public alpha ROM on the CM7 wiki's unofficial ports page. Hope you don't mind.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Unofficial_Ports#Barnes_.26_Noble_Nook_Tablet
The sdcard issue is known. It should be fine after first boot.
As for the OC, I don't believe that update is ready yet.
I have been running this particular build for days. I have had absolutely zero FC's. I haven't had issues with any apps not installing. Hell, we even got Whatsapp working on it for the most part by setting it up on a phone and Tibu'ing it into this build.

it happened to one of our testers actually, every reboot required sd to be ejected and put back in, they popped the sd in the computer for something, then when it went back to Nook it never did it again.... Not sure if it's a slight corruption on the SD which the nook doesn't like. Nook is really fussy with SD's anyway so it might just be a little bug, there's nothing we’ve found so far to help if it's a software issue. Could be a timeout issue but I notice for some people it doesn't realise it's been ejected either ...
Okay so I took the plunge and installed my first ROM (ICS Collective Base4) among other things with my SGH-I717M (Bell). Everything went very well and here are the issues that despite reading over 500 pages in threads related to these issues, I have not been able to solve them (workarounds, sure). I'm hoping that others can confirm these glitches and whether or not they have been able to remedy them:
-Upon boot, "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". Annoying, but doesn't seem to affect anything. No workaround or solution.
-Baseband "unknown". Tried ODIN flash install AND coming from completely stock phone via CWM flash, neither has remedied this problem. Doesn't seem to affect anything so don't really care.
-Stock calendar application missing - really don't like some of the other calendars, but I can't seem to find the APK file in any other ICS ROM's out there, so I gave up on this. So workaround, no solution.
-Time zone wrong. Workaround is to deselect automatic network management and select the correct timezone. Reverts back to incorrect upon rebooting so apparently only a workaround and no solution.
-Upon booting setCPU max/min speeds are incorrect and you have to open the application for it to correct the speeds. Perhaps it's just the widget that's broken, but for now it's a workaround and I can't seem to figure out a solution. Quandrant benchmarks seem to indicate that if I don't do this, the performance is affected as if the speeds are 1242max/384min and not 1512max/384min.
-Phone freezes on "Power Off", have to hold power button - camera flash goes off and then restarts. Workaround seems to be to use terminal emulator or other applications to reboot, etc. Don't know if there's a solution to this.
-Wallpaper incorrectly zooms - workaround: market applications. No solution that I can find yet.
-Unrelated to the ROM, but V6 Supercharger - I can only get it to report 50% supercharged, even after modifying my services.jar file and following all "step 8" instructions (that was an undertaking!!!). Don't know what's up there, but maybe some of you super-techs have figured it out.
-Only 624MB of RAM available instead of 700MB+ with GB. Haven't heard anything about why this is, so no solution or workaround.
-Doesn't seem to be an ICS keyboard available? I think this can just be installed from the market but I haven't tried it so not sure.
I'm sure there's other things like with Swype, tethering, etc.. etc... that are not working but this is just what I've noticed within the last 8 hours of flashing and trying to set-up and configure. Any comments or helpful suggestions for a n00b like me?
Thank you for any and all feedback. Thank you to all the developers working hard on this fresh release to bring us a solid ROM!

Remember, this is a leaked firmware, these bugs are within that leak itself and a few of these issues have been addressed (unknown baseband, etc..) And will be fixed when we release the actual full ROM. this is just the base we shared in the mean time. A few are still present likesome settings not sticking through boot, and the power menu hanging.
Ithink is ur phone acting weird. Only the setcpu speeds not sticking and issue about wallpaper which can easily be fixed by using quicpics are the two issues my phone had. Just dnt use any cpu controller i noticed phone goes to sleep when no cpu controller while when there is cpu controller screen off speed sticks to 384 or 192

Absolutely. And considering what I've read about previously leaked versions of Android over the years, this one performs like a champ. Can't wait to see what comes out next, but I figured from what I've read this one works well enough to go the distance and install. Thanks again collective!

Yeah, just thought I would put my experience out there if it helps anyone or if someone could help me lol. It's very likely some of these are isolated problems, but most of them are problems with the leaked version. I uninstalled setCPU because I think you're right, something likes to nom nom the battery when the screen is off.
Oh and here's something odd which I don't know if anyone else has experienced with ICS or GB, but Terminal Emulator doesn't allow me to type anything unless I capitalize each individual letter. Which of course is useless because it can't accept commands in caps. When I press any key in lowercase it's like I haven't done anything. I had to switch to the pen mode where I scribe each letter and then it puts lowercase letters in for me. Anyone know what's up with this?
This is probably not the best Rom to run for your first flash. I would try one of the official releases in the development thread, unless you are an official tester for The Collective...
Can't wait till they release an official ROM ...

I had that issue in GB... In ICS it seems to be intermittent- sometimes it just works others it doesn't...
And regarding the baseband, not sure about the Collective rom, but DAGr8's ICS rom displays the modem correctly on my Bell Note.
I also had the timezone issue- strangely enough when I disabled network time and timezone, I also stopped get random slowdowns and ANRs.

We've got the baseband unknown issue fixed in the full ROM. We just haven't released it. Still working on a couple things before we're comfortable sharing.
Hi, here are my thoughts;
1. Flash a CWM ICS modem(fixed it for me). If you cant find a modem use Dagr8's inital version of the ICS leak, it will successfully flash the modem(unlike the initial collective version(post 501 thread). The main point is to ensure you have the correct baseband(should not say unknown).
2. For now, dont supercharge the ICS leak until you have a stable running OS.
3. After fixing the baseband unknown issue(#1), reflash the collective post 501 ICS rom. It is stable, and the cleanup of the bloat was started already.
4. After installing #3, factory reset your phone.
At this point you should have a bloated, but error free ICS on your computer. Make a CWM backup, install titanium backup, and rip out the junk APK's(widgets, samsung/att garbage). Doing this will provide longer battery life and better performance.
No other wipe scripts are needed.
Factory reset BEFORE flash. The cwm script in the zip itself formats /system and /cache before it writes anything.
And the baseband unknown thing isn't a big deal. Its not that you don't have a modem at all, everything still works you get mobile data, its just the os doesn't properly report it.
if you like what you got, i say sit tight, we're working on the full ROM. You won't be disappointed

Would be cool if you guys could make a minimalistic style rom without all the makeup and cosmetics and focused on performance
We think its cooler to do BOTH
Cause the guys at Samsung must have left their seeing eye dogs at home when it came time to theme
most of us don't usually do minimalistic... once a stable rom gets out you can expect a variety of themes. Sit tight.

Same experience here
well done guys excellent base.... Having the same experiences as helios909...
Really looking forward to the the fully packaged version. Not experiencing problems with cpu speed set on boot.
Face unlock not work properly yet. Device hangs on reboot as reported. Auto update time bug exists. Baseband version unknown. Phone crashes on initial boot. But recovers.
New voice type engine is amazing. As demonstrated here.
Here are my thoughts on the Nook Tablet and my rooting process. I try to write to be as friendly as possible for the newbies to rooting devices. This is really just a reflection of my experience with the device and my rooting effort thus far .
If money is no issue, by all means go with the 16GB. But if you really want the best bang for the buck, go with the new 8GB version over the 16. The main difference is the RAM but since we are not talking about a true multitasking device, the extra RAM does little. Even if you root and hack and upgrade and tweak the hell out of it, you'll never really do more than one thing at a time on the device itself so 512MB is usually plenty. I have found that the Nook is the perfect companion device (for references and reading) to go with my netbook (which is the pefect portable productivity device) and my rooted android cell (universal connectivity device with tether hack). Those three things working in tandum mean that I can get online anytime, anywhere, and work comfortably. Now, if I can just find an Android phone that has a battery that lasts for more than 4 hours with the wi-fi/tethering/mobile hostpot turned on.
I have successfully used jichauan89's Root for Nook Tablet 8GB (w/ Android Market) root method number 1 (the SD image). Thank you jichauan89! It was easy and worked great the first time. His procedure...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529553
Here was my specific procedure and thoughts.
Prior to the attempt. Make sure that the device has plenty of battery power or is plugged in the wall adapter. This is a good practice for all rooting/hacking attempts on these types of devices, including cell phones and media players. I backed up the data on my SD card by simply copying all the files to a folder on my netbook's desktop.
Used Sandisk 8GB microSDHC card I had in my old Samsung Captivate. I used the SC card adapter it came with orginally to insert it into the built in SD Card reader in my Windows XP netbook.
Downloaded the SD card image from exactly where jichauan89 described.
Used Win32DiskImage.exe to format and write the image to the SD card. Worked without error. I used the safely remove hardware option in Windows to disconnect the hardware before removing the card from the reader.
Powered off the Nook Tablet 8GB.
Inserted the freshly formatted and imaged SD card into the Nook.
Held the power in until it powered on.
Saw a cardboard box. It reminded me of Amazon's frustration-free packaging.
Waited.
Saw the "Read Forever" Nook logo.
Waited exactly 3 minutes.
Held the power button in until the powered off.
Removed the SD card and set it aside. It's mission is complete.
Held the power button in until it powered on.
Routine booting began.
Upon boot completion, I clicked the n button and selected "search". I searched for "market". It found the Android Market. Don't look for "play". The hack itself uses an old version of the market that will upgrade itself to Google Play after you run it (as long as you are connected to WiFi).
At this point, your device is rooted successfully. Anything else you do is really just gravy. I suggest doing the NT Hidden Settings to allow sideloading and I also suggesting doing the hack to stop updates so that you get to keep all your hard (not really) rooting working in tact if and when B&N rolls out 1.4.3 of the Nook's firmware. Here are the additional steps that I took, again, this is all thanks to jichauan89's simple instructions and the feedback given in his thread. Also note, when I did have issues, I kept reading the thread rather than jumping the gun and posting my own questions. All the answers were already there...
I installed NT Hidden Settings from the market.
I immediately used the hack to allow 3rd party apps. There was some confusion and error here. I ran it a few times and it didn't appear to do anything, but then I pressed the n button once and a super user screen appeared asking me to give NT Hidden Settings rights, which I allowed. I tried the 3rd party hack a few more times to no avail. I rebooted the device and tried and tried and it wasn't working and the check mark on the previous screen for allowing Uknown Sources simply seemed to uncheck itself. I was watching the new episode of South Park on TV and at one point I reran the hack for about the 300th time it felt, a message came up that the app had been given SU rights, and I moved my attention to South Park for several minutes. When my eyes came back to the Nook, I checked the Unknown sources setting again, and it was checked, all by itslef. Lesson, I believe that the 3rd party app hack takes a few minutes to actually do anything after it is granted SU rights but doesn't give any notification that it is successful (or I missed it while grandma was trying to make Butters eat a urinal cake). I believe the app checks the Unknown Sources box itself as a part of its script and all the other times I had run the hack, I was just being impatient. After several reboots, the check now stays.
I then ran the NT Hidden Settings hack to keep updates from being installed. I was notified almost immediately that the installation was successful.
I then installed Go Launcher and HomeCatcher. I got Homecatcher from an XDA forum post and not from the Android Market. After running HomeCatcher, I clicked the n button and selected home and I was prompted to choose between a little andorid guy and the stock nook launcher. I made sure that put a check in the box to make this decision default (which i kind of wish i didn't, but it should be easily undone) and then selected the Andorid icon. Now whenever I select home, it goes to the Go Launcher app, awesome.
I also immediately installed File Expert and Titanium Backup and everything seems to work perfectly.
I then installed the Amazon App Market from Amazon.com in the Nook's stock browser. Every app from their seems to fail and says "SD card required" or some such thing. I am assuming that if I put the SD card back in everthing would work fine, but I'm not sure why this is an issue. Shouldn't it be able to use the Nook Tablet's internal memory? I'll keep testing.
The only thing I'm thinking about now is that I want to find the fastest way to switch back and forth between the stock B&N launcher and Go Launcher. I like B&N's ecosystem, even though it is limited, but I enjoy the advantages I get from walking in the store and getting to read books and even though the user interface of their digital store is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen, I find myself wanting to us it because I support Barnes & Noble a lot and wish them the best. I do, however, wish they would listen to all of us who are *****ing about their Market's limitations and ridiculous pricing and either treat the device more like a tablet like the name implies. But I'm preaching to the choir, right?
Try installing adw launcher, it should break the default status of go launcher, I'm not positive if there is a way to disable it other than that.
Sent from my Nook Tablet using XDA
You can actually go into the application settings and clear the cache and clear the defaults for HomeCatcher and then do a force stop. Run it again in the app drawer and the next time you click the n button it will ask wich launcher to run again. I made sure I didn't select the default action checkbox this time. Now everytime i hit n, it asks which launcher I want to use. I like it! Quick access to my wonderful root stuff and just as quick access to to an (essentially) stock Nook environment.
I have read it and did not find anything about pre-requisites. So am I totally safe doing this from a stock 8gb 1.4.2 nook tablet with no prior mods installed?
I understand the risks involved of course.

If you're just looking to root, then yes, use the method linked in this thread.
The "N" button
I rooted mine and everything worked fine.
I installed Button Savior and use that when I wanna be in Android tablet mode for going to the home screen and I just leave the Barnes & Noble 'n' as it is so when I press it I can go straight to the B&N look. It's pretty easy.
But this thread has been a great help to me.
Thanks
I followed a very similar procedure and everything worked great the first time, thanks to this board!
Thanks
I wanted to throw a thanks out to you as well.
I read your post as well as jichuan's post before I even tried anything.
The only issue I have had is the "unknown sources" not staying checked.
Like you, I tried and tried to get it to stick, finally looked away for a bit, and poof! Magically it's checked. Maybe patience is indeed a virtue! However, I can not for the life of me get HomeCatcher to install. I am rooted obviously as I was able to download NT Hidden Settings from the Play store. Any ideas, or did I overlook something?
I had a lot of problems with unknown sources but it just happened all by itself
1.4.3
Doesn't seem to be working with 1.4.3. I installed NT Hidden settings and some apps from the play store but they are nowhere to be seen.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you!!! I did this to my NOOK Table and it's working fine!! Thanks!! :laugh:
issue
I'm hoping someone can help me.
I rooted my NT last week (using these tips and tricks) and installed a bunch of stuff on it. And just today I installed the BEATS AUDIO on it and it asked me to reset the device... upon resetting it, it started up like a stock NT and I had to re-register it. Does that mean my device is no longer rooted?
I have an SD card on there and I did a backup using Titanium, but I'm not able to access the apps or get to NT Hidden Settings to download anything. When I navigate the web to the play store I'm able to see that it recognizes some of the apps as installed, but I cannot even download an apk or get anything to download through the play store even though it says a download will begin soon. Also, in the SEARCH option I do not get an option to choose where to search, it's just a general nook search.
I hope this is enough information. I want to try to re-root it but am afraid I might brick it.
PLEASE HELP!
Was your NT running 1.4.2? If so check to see if it's now on 1.4.3 in which case you had an OTA update which un-rooted your tablet.

still on 1.4.2.
I guess somehow it reset itself and I lost the root. I had to reroot it and use titanium to get most of my files back. So glad I had set up a backup right before I downloaded the app. I ended up deleting the beats installer and just installed Volume+.
I'm still not sure what went wrong.
