Hi guys,
I installed viperMOD PrimeTime froma guide on Redmond Pie.
Anyway after doing it im stuck in the CWM-Based Recovery v 5.5.0.4 every time it reboots.
Anyway i try restarting it and holding down the volume buttons to get into the standard recovery mode it isnt even there.. I tried installed the loop fix on a SD card but the CWM does not even pick up the card have tried different ones.
Tried Nvflash but a screen flashes quickly and then goes again..
I can get the device in APX mode what can i do from here? Please i dunno what i did wrong but i followed that guide from Redmond and now its stuffed.
Any help pleaseee
Do you have the prime or the regular TF?
cwm5504 doesn't see the external sdcard, you have to use the internal sdcard- either boot into the rom and copy it over, or use adb and push it to the internal card.
I'm not sure what the loop fix is and why you need the sdcard for it, but did you see this thread?

nvflash will work, but you need the correct sbk. for the tf101, it's serial numbers below b70. I don't know squat about the tf201.
Ok so i followed Dimondblacks guide and managed to stop it from entering the recovery menu. Now i can get to the 3 symbols page (USB,Android,Wipe) I have tried all 3 and still dosnt boot.
If i let the device boot as normal now it just hangs ont he asus logo screen... Now someone said use recovry menu to flash a rom but no SD card i use will make the recovery pick it up. Is there anyway to access the internal memory and place the update there?
What does fast boot do?
Thankyou for the reply!
Its a transformer prime
How do i push it to the internal sd card? what are the commands. i have tried to follow.. So does that mean i can download the update file and just push it onto the internal memory?
DO i have to put the update on the sd card first then adb it to the internal memory?
Never mind it seems to be bricked with unrecoverable bootloader error
ffs
There is a transformer prime forum, did you try posting there?
Good luck

First, thanks for all the amazing information on this site, it's an awesome resource to have.
I've been searching around for quite a while now trying to figure out how to get my gtablet working again and have hit a wall. Right now I can get into APX mode, but not CWM. First I tried restoring with nvflash following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950
Everything seems to work, but then I get stuck in a loop at the tapntap screen (It shows tapntap, then n, then tapntap, then n, etc). Next I tried to setup CWM with nvflash using this guide (other tapntap loop problems lead me to try this):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030042
But I have not been able to boot into CMW. The gtablet always goes back into APX mode. At the moment, it will boot into APX mode, and show the "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices" in device manager, even when I only press the power button (and don't hold down volume -). Holding Volume + while turning it on also goes into APX mode. Everything I have tried just leads to APX mode, except trying to restore with nvflash, which leads to tapntap loop.
All of the similar problems I have found where solved with these steps, so now I'm not sure what else to try. I've also tried to restore from an external SD card, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Every way I try to boot it it just goes into APX mode and ignores the SD card.
I've also tried this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974422
And I got the red message (which was exciting because it was finally something different ), but still got stuck in a tapntap loop after restoring with nvflash.
Anyone have any advice or something else for me to try? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for reading
See this post.
After you've got CWM installed OK, boot into it, then partition the SD card (the internal one--remove any external microSD cards). This step will clear out the (internal) SD card. Misformatted or corrupted SD card partitions can also cause boot loops.
Thank you very much for the reply
K J Rad's procedure had a detail that I was missing. I had to hold the Volume + key BEFORE running the nvflash command to add CWM to get it to boot into CWM. After that started working the rest fell into place.
Thanks again!
I cant get CWM or anything else to boot from my sd card anymore! I had CM7 running and used the NT format command to start from scratch and install new things fresh-like, (curious noob move, yes.) upon restart i get the "n" symbol on the screen, then a pic of the box from CWM, and it just hangs. all i get is pic of box. i tried booting cwm from my sdcard and it just wont do it. i also tried the CM7 bootable from sdcard, which also did not boot. i cant get factory restore or adb or anything working. can anyone help me? i learn very fast! Thank you. i am cursed with noob. noob curse. yup.
So what exactly did you do to cause all this? Format your SD card?
Something to try

You might try from powered down state, hold N and power till NT powers on and then off. Place your boot cwm sdcard in slot. Plug power cable into nook then into computer usb. This will auto power on your nook so don't touch anything till after boot. Let the usb connection handle the power on for you.
good luck!

Hi Guys,
I really hope someone can help me out with this issue. I searched the forum and the internet but did not find any solutions.
My friend successfully rooted the Nook Tablet yesterday using a method that did not require an SD card. Today I was trying to install CM9 with ICS so I downloaded Nook Recovery Flasher.apk and flashed cwm. When I restarted my device got stuck into autorestarting loop. It shows the gray "n", which quickly followed by the clockwork recovery loading splash screen (the picture of the cardboard box). The device then shuts down and starts the cycle over.
I've tried holding the power and n button method but that doesn't work. I've also tried creating a bootable sd card but the device won't pick that up either.
I would appreciate any suggestions!
I've ended up bricking my 8GB NT a similar way. Ended up writing over my mmcblk partition with something I wasn't supposed to. Now stuck in a reboot loop, can't do adb, my phone isn't playing nice enough to where I can make a recovery SD.
BTW OP, from what I've read CM9 is only for 16GBs and will brick 8GBs.
Same thing happened to me a while back. I was able to create a bootable CWM sd card. From there you should be able to restore. If not, use the Ubuntu recovery.
Short answer: You're going to have to create a bootable SD card.
Hello,
I made a huge mistake and now I'm totally screwed. First of all I know I messed up. I used the custom recovery and unloack images for Android 4.1.1 on an android 4.0.1. And this does not work at all. My tablet is stuck at "booting recovery kernel image".
I've tried to insert a SD card with the default image (renaming it to update.zip) but this does not work at all.
My question: is there any tool that will force my tablet to boot from the SD card so I can at least get fastboot connection to work or something.
Thank you very much!
Kind Regards,
So I have one of those super special 16GB Nook Tablets that refuses to boot to an SD card no matter what you do (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515761). Since I couldn't use the method of flashing recovery I used on my other two NTs (booting to SD recovery and flashing) I tried using Indirect's recovery flasher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458630) flashed it, and hit the reboot to recovery button. Now after the initial normal Nook logo on boot a larger one appears and then the screen goes black, I've let it sit for a good 30 minutes and nothing comes up after that (in fact the tablet seems to turn off after a while). I have no access to ADB or fastboot at that point either. Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this or am I screwed?
Erf, and I made this in the wrong forum... could a mod please move me to the Q&A\Help section?

Apparently this tablet is just super super picky about booting to SD cards... Was able to boot and restore to 1.4.2 using repart.img (mind you it took 5 attempts on 5 different SD cards to do so).
