Ok, sorry ahead of time for the n00b question, but I cannot get my archos a70 to show up when I query ./adb devices on my Mac. I tried to update the .ini using echo "0x0e79" >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini like Archos says, and I currently have SDE (Angstrom) on the device. Running the device in USB Debug as well. Is there some really basic step I am missing?
Well, managed to get the initramfs from $aur0n and the zImage from ardatdat working on the dev edition. Still can't launch ./adb shell though, so I haven't been able to partition my external sd card and relocate the dev edition to there...
Please, anyone, help. I'm dying here.
I too am having problems (bit of a noob im afraid!)
Could somebody please explain in detail exactly where to put the ini file modification.
Pretty please.

just reread all the rooting posts and realized that I'm doing the partition wrong and don't need to be in adb to partition.
i am currently mounting the external sd via the Archos since i don't have an SDreader. trying to use this post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10324687&postcount=89, in order to partition, but can't seem to be able to figure out how to do it in terminal.
man, i'm such a noob. perhaps i should have waited til a better, Mac oriented guide was posted....
i'm going to stop posting here as it is no longer adb related.
what kind of problem are you having with the terminal commands?
I am just starting to root my A70 this minute, and they look fairly straightforward. head's up? maybe i can help? what's the issue?

I'm having a hard time getting ./adb devices to recognize that i have the archos plugged in.
I also am unable to perform the fdisk -l, and am confused about the entire partitioning process to be honest. if you are able to do it successfully, i'd really love to know how you did the very basic stuff they leave out of the original thread.
thanks again!
seems my sdcard sucks, i have ordered a class 10 and am waiting on it now... let me know if you figure it out and ill do the same.
Moved to general as not android development.
I am simply trying to modInstallLocation using adb to gain a little more space using my windows 7(64 bit) computer. I have the latest android sdk installed and it all works fine with my htc desire. However i am unable to get my archos 70 to show up as a connected device using the driver from the archos site.
I know how to modify the ini file but am unsure where abouts in the file to insert the modification.
Please help!
Okay guys, so here's a weird one.
My g-tablet was working great. Was running VEGAn-Tab Build, BETA 5.1.1, no reason to update it, because it did everything I needed. I finally had it to where I wanted it, then it all kind of started falling apart. Here's how.
I power it on and notice my home screen got all messed up for some reason (using launcher pro). All of the settings defaulted to the original. I tweaked it back to more or less how I wanted it, and when I had it back to normal, thought nothing better of it. Must have glitched out some how.
Then I notice a bunch of things starting to force close, specfically android market, amazon market, titanium backup, google services framework, launcher pro, etc. Odd thing is it would do it one at a time, but otherwise my tablet would carry on as normal.
I go ahead and restart the tablet, to see if that helps at all, and what do you know, the homescreen is messed up again! I thought launcher pro might have been the culprit, so I un-installed the app and rebooted... And launcher pro is still there.
I go ahead and delete it again and start deleting other apps, restarting the tablet, and no matter what I do, everything stays the same. time for some clockwork mod action. I go into clockwork mod, and try to do the factory reset option, thinking what the hey, I'll try anything right now. Hit it, mourn the loss of my user data, and reboot the system... and again, everything is still the same.
I hook up my tablet to the computer via usb, and it looks like I'm able to at least delete misc. files that way. But when I return to good old Tabatha (my nickname for Gtab) everything is stuck just the way it is.
Needless to say, it feels like I'm stuck in the twilight zone.
I know I should have researched it by now, but I'm going to finally look it up to see if I can recover with NVFlash (I know I know, very noobish of me, using strange roms and not knowing any of the basics).... but I'm increasingly worried I've got some kind of a hardware malfunction on my hands. Could it be the memory? The internal SD card?
Oddly enough, my tablet still functions... I can browse the web, hook it up to my computer, etc etc, but no matter what I do I can't alter the data I already have on my tablet. Can't delete things, can't change settings, update apps, etc. etc. Which makes it pretty much useless for what I wanted to use it for.
I finally realized what this is like. The movie groundhog day, and I'm stuck in the same day, over and over again.
Any help or input that might get me out of this mess would be greatly appreciated.
Phil: "I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. *That* was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get *that* day over, and over, and over..."
This is now the second time that I've seen this exact same problem. I was in the process of troubleshooting the original one when the user returned his gTablet for replacement. If you can stand the deja vu, read this thread.
Do not nvflash your tablet--nvflash cannot fix SD-card related problems. Read this post for why not.
Instead, do this for me: Reboot the gTablet, then open a Terminal, or, use adb and run this command:
Code:
$ dmesg > /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt
Attach that dmesg.txt which will contain messages from the kernel to your next post.
I'll check this thread in the evening.

Thanks for the direction, at least I know it isn't an isolated incident. It's 1:45 AM where I am right now, and I have to wake up for work in about 5 hours... So I probably won't be able to get in depth with the follow up on this stuff untill after work tomorrow night (so long as the wife doesn't hog the computer )
Again thanks for the quick response, I appreciate you pointing me into some sort of direction. Can't wait to try to get this sorted out!
Currently trying to figure out how to get ADB going.... pretty intimidating, but I'm trying. I got the Java JDK installed, installing the SDK, but can't find the "SDK Setup.exe" file or even a USB driver folder in the SDK directory. Got a good resource for getting ADB set up?
Save yourself some trouble. Got to http://www.knoppix.org/ and download the latest Knoppix live CD image.
Burn it, boot it, then use the adb executable from this post. For simple things like just running adb, you don't need the entire Android SDK.
Get me a dmesg while inside ClockworkMod:
Code:
$ [B]sudo ./adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt[/B]
ADB commands documentation
Thanks, I'll try it out sometime this weekend!
Well, I really screwed myself now. I got the Linux distro loaded but still couldn't figure out how to get ADB to work. For whatever reason, When I boot from the DVD, I can't download the zip from within linux (get errors) and I could not open the ADB command by navigating to where I have it extracted in my hard drive. [Do I need to load the OS onto a flash drive instead?]
So I started messing with some stuff in clockwork mod. I apparently really goofed it, and I got a "Magic Value Mismatch" error everytime I tried to boot it up.
I looked up Magic Value Mismatch, and from there it pointed to using NVFlash to try to fix that problem. So tried that. After I flashed it, I thought for sure I finally had it back to stock, as the intro screen started to show the tap n tap logo... but i basically got stuck in a boot loop, tap n tap, then "n", then tap n tap, then "n", etc, until it dies.
I looked up this issue and apparently the key is to get into clockwork mod and do factory reset, reset cache, and partition the SD card to 2048 and 0, which I did... (per post #4 on this thread: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/17501-helpstuck-in-bootloop/ ) but still no dice.
Not sure where to go from here, or if I can even get it to interface with ADB in its current state. Looks like I'm done for
Thanks for trying though
On second thought, I may have had a breakthrough, at least in getting ADB to see my tablet!!! Woohoo! It finally sees the device and has a serial number. Was following the device on this thread:
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/viewsonic-gtablet-technical/5377-adb-g-tab-step-step.html
7. under the "[Google.NTx86]" section, paste the following:
Code:
;NVIDIA Tegra
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01
save the file and exit.
But I have a 64 bit machine, so I finally figured it out and plopped that into the 64 bit portion of the .inf file. DOH!
So now let me see what I can drum up through the previous commands above.... though the parameters have changed now to be sure... Due to my haste things may have taken a turn for the worse.
To recap, now my tablet is stuck in a boot loop after having done NV Flash, after having screwed up some settings in clockwork mod trying to fix a "Magic Value Mismatch" error.
Tried:
$ dmesg > /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt
I just run this in the cmd prompt at my platform-tools directory where the adb is correct?
All it says is, "The system cannot find the path specified."
Am I doing something wrong, or is my tablet that messed up?
Okay, this is slightly weird. So I was browsing around in clockwork mod, and lo and behold, the original zip flies for vegan tab are all STILL THERE. So I reloaded them... And My tablet zips back to exactly the way I had it before!
Only this time, so far no force closes. This looks way too good to be true after what I've been through. I'm going to try modifying some files and settings and restart my tablet to see what it does. I'm pretty sure I can't be out of the woods yet. Allthough it is 3:33 AM as this is happening... magic hour. I may be going insane.
EDIT: Nope, was definitely way too good to be true. All my data is as stuck as it was ever was. But at least now I can get into it again. But now we're back to square one. Lemme figure out this dmesg business and get back to you. X(
So I would try issuing the following exactly in the command line at the adb platform tools folder:
$ dmesg > /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt
Is that code supposed to be copy and paste in? I don't seem to be getting anything. I can do the following command and get the info to pop into the command interface:
adb shell dmesg
But I can't figure out how to save that to a text file. And you want me to do that while the g tablet is in recovery, correct?
FYI, trying to do it through Windows 7. Would that command only operate in the linux environment via knoppix?
Thanks

I suggested using Knoppix just because it is so easy to use adb in Linux. Broken-down steps for future reference:
1. Download and burn the latest Knoppix Live CD iso image. Check the downloaded file size. The .iso file should be ~700MB in size. Also, test the CD by booting it and then typing at the boot prompt: knoppix testcd
2. Boot Live CD and skip the creation of any partition or file to store user data. After all, we just want to run adb.
3. After Knoppix has booted into the desktop, run a browser, right click on the adb.zip attachment in this post, then select "Save Link As..." and save the zip file into /tmp.
4. Connect the gTablet to the PC via the USB cable.
5. Open a terminal window, then type in it:
Code:
hostpc$ [B]cd /tmp[/B] [I]Change to the dir. where adb.zip was saved[/I]
hostpc$ [B]unzip adb.zip[/B] [I]Unzip zip file[/I]
hostpc$ [B]ls -l adb[/B] [I]Check if the adb program was extracted OK[/I]
-rwx------ 1 rvp rvp 159620 Dec 1 22:23 adb
hostpc$ [B]chmod 555 adb[/B] [I]Make adb executable.[/I]
hostpc$ [B]sudo ./adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt[/B]
Note 1: do not type in the shell prompt, 'hostpc$'. It is only there to show you what the screen should (roughly) look like.
Note 2: If adb says something like "device not found", just unplug the USB cable from the PC, wait a few moments, then re-plug the cable and re-run the adb command again.
6. Go back into the browser and attach the dmesg.txt file that is there in /tmp. You will have to tell the Noscript plugin to allow scripts from xda-developers to enable attachments. Right click on the page, then select the Noscript menu item, then choose "Temporarily allow xda-developers.com".
I thought for sure I finally had it back to stock, as the intro screen started to show the tap n tap logo... but i basically got stuck in a boot loop, tap n tap, then "n", then tap n tap, then "n", etc, until it dies.

I'm not surprised. If the files on the internal SD card cannot be modified then that boot loop behaviour is to be expected. Here's why:
Android requires certain partitions to exist on the system. These partitions can be either on the flash or on SD cards. The partitions are:
/system: This is where the binaries and system apps that come with the firmware are stored. This partition is usually mounted read-only to protect it. On the gTablet, this partition is on the 512MB built-in NAND flash chip.
/cache: As the name indicates, this is the partition used to speed up the execution of the Java apps. Temporary files are also created here. This partition too is on the built-in NAND flash chip.
/data: This is where user-downloaded apps are stored by default, and also where Android stores its system configuration data. This partition, on the gTablet, is on the internal SD card.
/sdcard: This is where user content like media files, books, and the apps moved to SD card are stored. This partition too is on the internal SD card.
The first 3 partitions are critical and Android won't come up without them being present (or, if there are any errors on them). Among these 3, only /system needs to be correctly populated (When you install a ROM, new stuff is copied here). The other 2 partitions, /data and /cache can be empty and the system will boot up fine--with defaults. In fact, when you select "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM, /cache and /data are re-formatted--effectively, wiped clean.
(There are 2 other important partitions on the NAND flash chip, but, these are not mounted because they don't contain a proper filesystem. You have to use special tools to create the contents of these 2 partitions.
The first of these is the "boot" partition. This one and "system" are re-written when you install a new ROM. The "boot" partition holds the Android Linux kernel. If you install a new kernel, only the "boot" partition is rewritten.
The second is the "recovery" partition. This contains a separate, and usually different (and safe), Linux kernel and a mini filesystem image. This is a fail-safe partition. Stock recovery and ClockworkMod sit here.)
In your case, nothing on the internal SD card can be modified, so the stuff in /data will still be from your old ROM. (nvflash also cannot modify SD card contents, as I mentioned before.) When the stock firmware boots up, it will find incompatible stuff in /data. Critical apps will then die. Android will restart them, they will die again. This is your boot loop.
Get me the dmesg output and then we'll run a few tests using CWM, but, judging from your previous posts, I don't think your internal SD card can be fixed. You have 2 options:
1. Return the tablet for a replacement.
2. If you can't return it, I can switch the internal and external SD cards on your ROM so that you can boot and use the system (almost) normally. But, this is a custom solution and you will need to have an external SD card in its slot always. Read through this thread.
Wow, you really know you're stuff! I'll see what I can get you later on in the day with regard to the dmesg, I'm currently still at work.
I had suspected a hardware error... bummer. I'll definitely be interested in seeing if I can just use the external micro sd slot to sub out for the internal sd card. I would at least like this thing to be functional again, though I suppose I'll never be able to try any of the honeycomb roms when those get past alpha. Oh well.
Do you know if this thing takes 32 gb micro sd cards? That would be pretty awesome, I at least wouldn't feel too limited on space.
By the way, thanks for all your help on this, I know I'm a huge noob. I greatly appreciate your patience and taking the time to break everything down for me. I have absolutely zero background in programming or anything computer related, though I do find this stuff extremely fascinating! If I could rewind the clock and study this stuff in school, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Again, thanks so much, can't thank you enough.

No, you should be able to run whatever ROM you want. I'll send you an installable zip file, in a few days, which should get you going again on Vegan-Tab, at least. You'll just need to remember to flash this zip file right after you've flashed the ROM (of your choice).
Right now, I don't know if I need one zip file for each kind of ROM in existence for the gTablet, or, if I can use some scripting and do the internal/external SD card switch using just a single installable zip file. I'll look into this on the weekend.

I was a complete noob to Android myself back in April of this year. I've picked all of this up in just a few months. I'm pretty sure you can do it too, with a bit of poking around in the system. Of course, having a background in Unix/Linux helps a lot.

Can't see any problems in that dmesg output. Time for some tests on the internal SD card.
Boot into CWM, then run on PC (on Linux run: sudo ./adb shell):
Code:
C:\SOME\PATH> [B]adb shell[/B]
~ # [B]mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard[/B] [I] Mount internal SD card partition[/I]
~ # [B]mkdir -p /sdcard/a/b/c[/B] [I]Make a directory tree[/I]
~ # [B]echo test > /sdcard/a/b/c/test.txt[/B] [I]Create a file[/I]
~ # [B]cat /sdcard/a/b/c/test.txt[/B] [I]Read it back again[/I]
test [I]Correct[/I]
~ # [B]echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches[/B] Flush kernel caches
~ # [B]cat /sdcard/a/b/c/test.txt[/B] Read it back again
test Correct
~ # [B]umount /sdcard[/B] [I]Unmount[/I]
~ # [B]mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard[/B] [I]Remount /sdcard[/I]
~ # [B]cat /sdcard/a/b/c/test.txt[/B] [I]Reread file[/I]
test [I]You should see "test" here[/I]
~ # [B]umount /sdcard[/B]
You should see "test" after the kernel flush and the remount.
Next, reboot the tablet--back into CWM, then run the cat command again. `cat' should output "test", again, if the SD card is OK.
Here's a screen of the commands I entered and what I got back. Did I do anything wrong? Looks like something's a bit off.
I have a GTab that was running Calkulin + Clemsyn Combo Overclock at 1.5 ghz V8 on the 1.2 branch fine for a couple months now, then something happened today. Woke up to find there was no sound coming from it (I'd left an Anti-mosquito app running all night), so I tried to play a couple music files. Seemed to get frozen instead of playing, so I restarted. That's when it went into a boot loop from 3 birds to the first splash screen of the loaded ROM.
Attempted to do a backup via CWM, and it failed on /data. Tried a data wipe/reset, then reflashing the ROM and finally NVFlash. Still goes into a bootloop. Repartitioning and mounting doesn't do anything; ADB doesn't see the device at all in CWM or APX; /data cannot be mounted and /sdcard mounts only when a card is inserted (doesn't see the internal space) but still doesn't mount USB storage and says: "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"; drive shows in Win7, but is inaccessible;
As mentioned, APX mode and NVFlash along with CWM works fine. And I can mount /cache and /system fine. I've gotten to Code Double Red here and now I'm draining the battery for the next step (really don't want to pull any screws). Also tried the fix here, but it seems that's just for CM7, which I'll probably try flashing some time.
I'm going to return to the 1.1 branch and try a couple ROMs there, but I have a really slow connection and it's taking a while to get nvflash 1.1.
Did a quick search of the forum and didn't find anything quite similar. Obvious question is, has anyone ever experienced this before? What are some other steps I can take to fix this? Is there a way to backup the internal SD before I probably have to wipe it?
Connect the USB cable to the tablet, then boot it into CWM, and run this command on your PC:
Code:
C:\SOME\PATH> [B]adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt[/B]
Post that dmesg.txt file here. We'll see what's wrong.
Connected the charger long enough to run the command, but all I get is "error: device not found". As I'd said, ADB doesn't detect the tablet, even though Windows knows when it's connected and disconnected. Is there anything that I can flash to get me a terminal? That's the only way I can think of to get that command run and hopefully direct the output to my SD. Thanks.
I now have a completely dead battery. Wondering what to do next since it's supposed to have been hard reset now. Not seeing anything different after booting; same boot loop even though I just flashed a ROM again.

I had seen this thread before where you were helping someone last year. Wish I'd read further to see that he eventually got the same problem I now have. I'm currently working my way through everything. First I need to get ADB running though, so I'm working on that now. Think I may be needing that partition swap trick, but we'll see...
Having issues getting the right USB drivers installed for ADB on Windows 7 64 bit. Using instructions here. But each time I uninstall the device, as soon as I plug in the tablet, it installs the default drivers. Using both Device manager and USBDeview. Updating and other options are also disabled when there is nothing installed. Considering to do a direct registry hack of the device info if I can, and hopefully not break anything important.
Try using Linux.
I finally got ADB working on my system and did some experimenting. Seems there's definitely something wrong with my internal SD according to the dmesg output. Luckily I have a SD which I used in my SG3, and it is already properly partitioned, so I'll try using that. Tried making a fstab file in /etc (mtdblock3) but I got "Magic Value Mismatch" error, so I NVFlashed to return it to how it was. I'm currently researching how to create update files, because it seems that's the only way I can get the SDs swapped. Any guidance is still welcomed. Thanks alot.

Yeah. There are clear error messages relating to the internal SD card. You can either return the tablet and get a replacement, or, use my SD card device swapping technique to use the external SD in place of the non-working internal one.

If you use my files, you don't need to modify anything manually. What're you trying to change, BTW?
I can definitely use some help there. Where are the files? I tried modifying the custom ROM I use by adding a custom fstab and vold.fstab to /etc, an init script to init.d and replacing the /data mounting command with:
Code:
ui_print("Copying Data Files");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "-t", "ext3", "/dev/block/mmcblk2p2", "/data");
ui_print("Mount information:");
ui_print(run_program("/sbin/mount"));
Not sure what you're attempting to do here...
If you just want to use an external SD card in place of your non-working internal one, then all you have to do is a) flash either one of the CWM zip files and then b) flash the SD card swapping zip file right after you install the ROM of your choice. And, if you tell me which ROM you plan to install, I can look inside it and tell you if my scripts will work with that ROM.
If you can read shell/awk scripts, you can look inside the zip files to see what they do and how they do it.

I was trying to make a swap script myself, but it's not working. /system dir gets corrupted. I'm using Clemsyn_Caulkinver8final2, a Froyo ROM.
Look at my scripts. If you have any questions, just ask.
Where are the scripts? That's what I've been asking...
EDIT: If this is what you use, then all should be ok. Let you know the result when I'm again online. Thanks alot for your help!
That's what I was talking about. I modified the device-swapping script today to fix-up an additional shell script, /system/etc/inandop.sh, on the various Clemsyn/Beasty ROMs (incl. yours), so use the newer zip file.

Appears it still doesn't work. However, now instead of having a boot loop, it's just stuck at the splash screen after the 3 birds. I'm going to try combining your script and the ROM to see if I can get better results. I'm also going to try inserting some log/debug messages where I can.

THANK YOU RAJEEV!!!!!!!
Today I got the time to work on my tablet again, since I just restarted college and it's been a bit hectic. Decided to try CM7 since when I looked into your script I saw direct management for it, so I NV'd back to 1.1 (I didn't know what branch CM7 was on, but flashing CM7 on 1.2 gave an error and aborted). The first time I tried the CM7, it got to the CM7 logo, then was there for a while until I only had a black screen. The only way I knew the tablet was still on was because ADB was still connected. Then I flashed your script and VOILA! everything started great. So now I have my tablet again for my classes .
I am planning to still run a few tests to see if I can somehow recover/fix the internal SD, so I downloaded your set of e2fsprogs. Think I'll make a flashable file for the entire package.
Again, thanks for all your assistance. It's much appreciated. I really didn't have that much time anymore to work on it myself too. I will continue to learn more as time goes on though, and I hope one day I'll become a guru like you .

The official CM7 is, right now, only for 1.1. However, since you can replace just the kernel and instantly make a 1.2 ROM, you'll have to look at the kernel messages to tell which bootloader version you have (Note: this is only for pershoot kernels).

This is to be expected. When a ROM first runs, it writes a whole bunch of stuff into /data; but, your internal SD card is messed up, so every write would've ended up with the kernel retrying for quite a bit and then failing.
You should've flashed the ROM and immediately afterwards my script to fix-up the mount points on the ROM--ie. before the first boot.

I doubt if you can "fix" your internal SD card error using any of the e2fsprogs--it looks like a card-controller error rather than a media error. You have one of the non-standard internal SD cards which has caused problems for some other users as well.
Ok. I do have a few issues I hope I can get some help on. For one, flash player doesn't work, and that's something very important. All my browsers direct me to get flashplayer. It worked pretty well in my previous ROM, so it may be an issue with CM7, but I haven't seen any similar issues on their site.
Also, the tablet is less responsive now, though I think this has to do with the /data partition being on external SD, though it's a class 6 card.

Did you partition the external SD card correctly into 2 partitions (the first as VFAT and the second as ext3) before you installed CM7? I'm not sure what steps from my post you followed and what steps you skipped: you mentioned you were planning to modify the scripts/ROM, right?
It is also possible that my script is not doing the right thing on CM7 since it doesn't touch the vold.fstab on it. Get me the output of a mount command in CM7, and these files:
Code:
/system/etc/vold.fstab
/system/build.prop
Also make sure that you, or the ROM provider, haven't enabled the SD card switching in Settings > Cyanogenmod settings.
The SD I'm using was in a SG3 using this ROM, so I think it's correctly partitioned. I've accessed the partitions before and the correct names are associated with the contents. I only followed steps 1 & 4. The option to use removable for apps and media is disabled.
build.prop
mount.txt
vold.fstab
First, you need to be sure you install the sdcard version of the recovery, otherwise you won't be able to do this. (You need to goto this thread to install the sdcard version and follow instructions.
First of all, make sure your drivers are setup properly as this is a windows script to fix everything since you can only fix it from a computer. (I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THAT ENOUGH!)
Then you just download this zip, it check's md5 sum on the image before flashing so no worries, and then it flashes. It will reboot when it's finished.
I am in NO way responsible should anything happen, it was your fault for not checking the app's md5 in the first place so if this works for you, openly admit that you could have been better with handling the app's flashing. <-- Required.
I'm having a seperate thread so I can actively update this with anything that may arise since it would make my app's thread cluttered.
Read the whole thread or enjoy a broken Ntab, it's your choice.
Just wanted to say thanks for the dedication to those of us not smart enough to figure things out on our own.

is this for those nt cannot use sd card recovery or 8 times boot break to restore the originally rom?
Dumb Question
Total noob question. What do you mean by drivers set up properly? I want to try this, but I do not want to screw up again, and I just want to be totally sure I understand this properly. Thanks.

Means that you must have your nook drivers installed and working, if you ever rooted then you should have your drivers working properly.

Can't get this to work
I have verified that I have the proper drivers (thanks Veronica). I unzip the fix and run the batch file, but the window closes almost instantly. I am using an XP machine, because of installing the drivers when I rooted. I can not for the life of me figure why it wont run. I am booted into the sd card version of CWM. Do I need to mount it some way or just at the home CWM recovery screen. I have been looking for help without asking and bothering, but can't figure it out. Not a noob but totally confused. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Oops! I managed to set the wrong error levels on it, I meant to do 0 and 1, I instead did 1 and 2. Anyway, uploading now.
Still no go.
I got the batch file to run but it does not finish. It starts the Deamon successfully, and it just stays at Deamon Started Succesfully. It has been there for about 45 minutes. Should I wait or can I kill it and start over. Thanks again.
Kill it reboot your machine and start over

No Go
Thanks Veronica, but the reboot still does the same thing. I just started the Nook&Zergy and the device shows up so I know the drivers are proper, it just stays stuck in Deamon Started Successfully for the fix. I am out of ideas, I fear I have just bricked my first device. I have doing this since the G1, this is sad.
No no, just do:
adb push cwm_internal.img /sdcard/cwm_internal.img
adb shell
then type:
dd if=/sdcard/cwm_internal.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
First off great work Indirect. This is exactly what I was hoping that image creator would be used for, just working on other things and got preoccupied. I think you might have to do some explaining though.
One thing to note though is that CWM should not be used for any other then rooting your device. As it stands right now there is no reason to flash it to an internal partition, you will only risk messing something up, as it has no gains.
Overview:In the Nook Tablet world there is a locked bootloader, which requires that there be a Secure Chain from u-boot, to the recovery. With the exploit that bauwks discovered and designed, we are able to flash custom recoveries on to the device. However a recovery must be packed.
Packing Structure:There are two ways that we have been able to go about getting around the boot loader, the internal method requires that we use the second U-Boot, with a 256k buffer and then attache the recovery after the buffer.
(0-m bytes) ------> (m-256k bytes) ------> (256k-n bytes)
Bauwks ntBoot Buffer nemiths CWM
The trick is that that 256kth byte must contain the header for the CWM, and this is vital. If that is lost, or something on Bauwks didnt get flashed right, you will enter a boot loop.
FAQ:
What Is a 'broken recovery' NT?
A broken recovery Nook Tablet is one where either the NT's internal recovery structure was not writen correctly or one where the NT's internal recovery structure is missing bauwks boot.
How can I tell if I have a 'broken recovery'?
Assuming you have not messed with any other partitions if you do either the N + pwr method, or the 8 false boots, you should see it open the BN recovery. If your device constantly turns on and off after one of these two methods, then you have a broken recovery partition.
My Nook just continues to boot into the recovery whats this?
Aha now that is not a 'broken recovery' and is actually quite fixable. In the nook Tablet there are two files that relate to the booting structure, aka the selection of where to boot from. These lie on a partition called bootdata, and are named BCB and BootCnt. If you are running stock on your internal partition, just let the stock recovery run, and it will solve your problem. If you are running CWM, you will have to use the following commands,
Code:
adb shell mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 /data
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/BCB bs=1 count=1088
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/BootCnt bs=1 count=1
adb reboot
Aaa this is confusing can't I just put the stock recovery on my NT?
Sure. Hopefully indirect will make a script soon, or I will make one tonight that will put the default recovery img back. If you are feeling lucky you can do the following while on CMW.
NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES YOU CAUSE TO YOUR DEVICE. One false move and you will brick your device. HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED
Code:
adb push recovery.img /data (this is the recovery from the 1.4.0 or 1.4.1 update zip)
adb dd if=/data/recovery.img /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 (THIS LINE IS [COLOR="Red"]EXTREMELY DANGEROUS[/COLOR]. It should only be done as a last resort, and you should only do it if you are willing to take full responsibility.)
Dead End.
I am going to start from the beginning. I flashed CWM using this app and the hit reboot into recovery from the app as well. Went to the cardboard box. I can reboot into CWM using the sd card method but can get no further. I have been trying the fix for two days and cant get it to work. Indirect gave me some ADB commands but I cant get ADB to work either. I have been on this for 2 days and cannot get it going. I really do not know what else to do. I am not a Noob and i know I have the proper drivers, the fix gets stuck though, and with the tablet in CWM from the sd card I just cant get ADB to work. I do not know if maybe because of usb debugging not being checked off, but again I can not boot up to Android, just to recovery from sd card. If I take out the sd card with CWM it boots to the cardboard box, then to black screen, and there it stays. I checked the thread for the app and people are still having this problem. I really do not know what to do. I have followed every instruction I have found or has been given to me, to the t, nothing.
UPDATE - I deleted the sdk and everything that had to do with Android from my pc. Reinstalled drivers using the method in the root thread that is pinned. I ran NOOK&ZURGY just to see my device appear in list of adb devices, which it did. It gave me my serial and it said recovery. I then redownloaded the sdk and did not download the Drivers from SDK manager. I am not sure but that seems to be the key here, to get rid of google drivers that can be downloaded from SDK manager. I then opened a command prompt, adb devices and bam there it was. I used the commands posted by LogLud above my post under "My nook just continues to boot into the recovery, what is this?". ADB Reboot and ****ing worked. THANKS TO INDIRECT, LOGLUD, and LAVERO.BURGOS. Your patience and help is greatly appreciated. I have never really asked for this much help before on XDA, and you guys were on the money, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Please PM me so that I can get you guys and girls beers. I will try to figure out how on my own anyways, but you guys deserve a contribution for taking the time out of your day to help me and others.

Oh well you should had started your first post by saying im using SDK and you will have it fixed faster. SDK is not needed in windows, leave that for devs all the necessary stuff that you needed to root is provided in indirects permanent root thread including drivers.
Glad it worked!

I used Indirects app to install CWM, it seemed to work fine, but when I tried to boot into CWM it flashes the picture of the box, then shuts off. I tried using this method to fix it, but the same thing happens.
What am I doing wrong? Please help. I'd hate to have bricked my nook.

Sorry if I was not clear. Here is the entire process:
1. I have a rooted Nook Tablet.
2. I installed Indirect's One Click App to install CWM
3. I used that app to install CWM.
4. I attempted to boot into CWM, but it flashes the box and then shuts off
5. I came to this thread and began following the instructions to fix it, but the fist set of instructions "First, you need to be sure you install the sdcard version of the recovery, otherwise you won't be able to do this.(You need to goto this thread to install the sdcard version and follow instructions.)
6. I followed those instructions, but I still get the box image then shut down.
7. I can't boot normally or into CWM.
Let me know if you need any other information and I greatly appreciate your help.
What I really need to know is how to create the CWM sdcard on a mac. i.e. I don't have a linux machine with gparted and I can't figure out how to get something like Disk Utility to enable boot and lda flags.
Thanks!
bootable sd card with osx
Lehite, I was having the same problem, i.e. disk utility in osx couldn't do the job for me. I ended up using this method.
Download the “size agnostic” CM7 SD card installer image (v1.3 in my case), then write it to your microSD following the instructions on the before mentioned page. The writing takes a little bit without terminal telling you the progress, after 1-2 minutes it should be done.
After succesfully writing the image to your SD card copy the files from Goncezilla's SD Boot thread (here) to your SD card overwriting files if necessary and follow his further instructions.
On a reboot with the boot SD inside your nook you should get to the CWM menu after seeing the cardboard box. good luck!
I myself am also stuck at the black screen after the box and need to figure out how to get the ADB working on osx to be able to do Loglud's commands...
UPDATE: to get ADB working on osx I used this method. Since I'm not a developer I didn't download the whole SDK package from google but rather just the ADB tools from here.
I then connected the Nook to the mac while in CWM, checked if it was properly recognized but typing adb devices, and applied Loglud's adb commands. BAM! worked! Am back in android Many thanks to all for directions, especially Loglud.
Now a question to Indirect, I downloaded your package just today, while using it it verified the MD5 positively and continued flashing. Why did I get the black screen, and not the CWM?
cheers
I busted my Nook Tablet, tried a hundred different things to fix it, and was about to give up, when I finally found the solution. This is my story.
Seriously, though, this forum has been a huge help to me, and I'm posting this in the hope that it will help someone.
First, a little background on me. I'm a software developer, and I've even contributed a bit to the development of the gingerbread-based CM7 for the Droid X. So I know a bit about Android, but I don't pretend to understand everything, especially on the Nook Tablet. That will become clear as you read the rest of this because I can't really explain some of the things I experienced.
Using several of the helpful guides here, I successfully booted ClockwordMod Recovery off an SD card, rooted my tablet, and installed the CM7 alpha (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826). Since booting CWM off the SD worked so well, I didn't feel the need to install it internally. It was a beautiful thing.
By the way, in order to boot CWM from an SD card your tablet must be plugged into USB! At least that has been my experience, and it hasn't always been made 100% clear.
Then, I bought a new SD card - the one I used originally was borrowed from another device. The new one was 16 gig. I wanted to make sure I could still use it to boot into CWM, so I started out as before by writing the image found at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488035 to my SD card using Win32DiskImager.exe, which I acquired from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21895025&postcount=14. But this repartitioned my 16 gig SD card down to 2 gig, so I used gparted in a Ubuntu VM to resize the partition to 16 gig.
I had all sorts of trouble getting into CWM with this new SD card. I don't really know why. Maybe the partition resizing was an issue, I'm not sure. But after lots of attempts, including plenty of failed boots, I started getting the dreaded black screen saying, "Please restart your device and try again. If you encounter the same issue, please contact customer service or visit: nook.com/tablet/support." I couldn't boot up CM7 anymore.
At this point I switched back to my previous SD card, plugged in the USB cable, and was thankfully able to boot into CWM. I tried the usually stuff. Reset data. Reinstalled CM7. Restored the backup of the factory ROM before I installed CM7. Nothing worked, I always got the "please restart" screen. Then I tried the 8 failed boots method to restore the factory state. It wouldn't go into the restore mode, just the same garbage again. At this point I figured I had really and truly bricked my device. This thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397262) describing a similar problem didn't give my any confidence.
But since I could get into CWM, I realized I should at least be able to get into a shell via ADB and have a look around. Getting ADB working was a challenge, but eventually this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363652), installing the USB driver attached to this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354487), and adding the necessary line to adb_usb.ini (see the runmefirst.bat in the previous link) got me up and running with an adb shell.
I suspected my problem had something to do with triggering factory reset mode with so many failed boots, and somehow that factory reset mode was broken. With that in mind, I eventually stumbled upon this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444630). I use CWM to mount /bootdata, logged in from my computer with "adb shell", and issued the dd commands the post described to reset the BootCnt and BCB files. I had to remount the bootdata partition read/write with "mount -o rw,remount /bootdata". If you do this once and still get a "Read-only file system" error when you do the dd command, just try the mount command again. I don't pretend to totally understand why that would be necessary, but it seemed to be necessary for me.
The first time I tried this and rebooted, I still got the same "Please restart your device error." It took me a couple of tries to figure out that I had to issue these commands and then remove the SD card before rebooting. It seemed as if booting from the SD card somehow re-poisoned the device so that even once I removed it I was still in a bad state.
Once I did this my device booted back into CM7. I shut it down, used the 8 failed boots method, and was able to reset to factory successfully. So apparently I was in some sort of badd BootCnt/BCB state, but it wasn't just the regular 8 failed boots state. I'd love to hear an explanation of why this might be, if anyone knows.
TL;DR: if you get a "Please restart your device and try again" error and nothing seems to fix it, try this:
1. Boot into CWM off an SD card
2. Mount /bootdata via CWM
3. Log in from your computer using "adb shell"
4. mount -o rw,remount /bootdata
5. dd if=/dev/zero of=/bootdata/BootCnt bs=1 count=4
6. dd if=/dev/zero of=/bootdata/BCB bs=1 count=1088
7. Remove SD card
8. Reboot

Yes, i copied command-line from your first post. I don't understand my nook tablet. It'll lost all the data and program that i have installed after i reboot it. It keep the data and program 2 months ago. I have copied some mp3 songs to internal card, after reboot it, all of songs disappear. I bought it from internet so i can't know what happened to it.

If I am reading your comment correctly, it looks like you're using the wrong command: typing 'remount' instead of 'mount', is that correct?
Yes, "mount -o rw,remount /bootdata" is one command, not two commands separated by a comma.

Paste your entire adb shell session in here and let me take a look. Also, did you remember to remove your SD card before rebooting?
NT8 will not boot except via SD
Thank you so much for posting this.
I have the 8gb model NT and (mistakenly) tried to flash CWM & CM7a to the EMMC of my tablet. At that time, there were no warnings about how it would brick the NT8.
Now, my tablet will not boot to ANYTHING on the internal memory. I do NOT get the warnings that you mention - or even a flash of light. No matter how I try to boot it (with or without cable, with or without the Nook button) or how long I hold the buttons down, it still remains with a BLACK SCREEN.
However, the SDCard will boot properly. I followed your instructions in the O.P. precisely and I did NOT receive any errors. However, it still will not boot internally.
I then tried Veronica's process to flash CM9 to the internal (which is supposed to work on NT8). The flash process (via SD/CWM) went properly and I did not receive any errors. However, I still cannot get anything to boot (except my SDCards).
If I put my CM7a (bootable) SDCard into the NT8, it boots and runs great! Likewise meghd00t's recovery/CWM sdcard boots and runs properly.
I can do ADB & FASTBOOT and I have even done the dd to download my partitions (for backup) and then dd copies from online. Still no joy.
However, even after dd'ing p5, ADB still reports my TRUE serial number? It seems that the dd to part5 did not take?
The only other thing that I have found, that seems significant, is the fact that when I am in CWM, I cannot mount the EMMC. I can ADB/shell into the device but that did not allow me to mount the emmc either.
Any ideas? How can I force the device to mount the emmc?
Unbrick & return NT8 to STOCK
This process did NOT clear my Nook Tablet (8GB). Neither did any of the other (previously existing) methods clear it. It was bricked and would ONLY boot with a bootable SDCard. Otherwise, it remained totally black.
However, Meghd00t's recovery SDCard did the trick. It should work for either NT8 or NT16 devices and restores the Nook to Stock configuration. I did NOT lose my serial number.
Find Meghd00t's thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562130
