well, lets begin from the beginning,
I'm from Brazil i i got a T959 (vibrant) from Telus(it´s written on it),i was using a custom rom until the beginning of the week,when i had downloaded some apps that stuck my phone,and after restart and delete of the user data it was bricked.
so i seached for an original rom from telus and i didn't find, only for t959d, so i put this one and made hardware changes to solve the sound problems and the inverted volume buttons.
and it worked for 3 days until it started to force close programs and didn't recognize internal and external sd card.
I flash it again using odin and it was nice again untill the same problem,but i was going to school and left it home.
when i arrived it was boot looping and i flashed T959UVJFD.tar,but when it restarted and tried to erase all it got data wipe failed.
Now it didnt work on any rom and i tried up everything i known and that you said on your foruns.
does someone have an idea about what is happening?
is there someway to access internal sd card to format it on download or recovery mode?
thanks for the attention,
lincoln.
sometimes when you flash the rom threw odin you have to factory restart your phone before
cus i flashed with odin one time and it was doing the same
Also not a bad habit to use Master clear before and after you Odin.....done it a hundred times and I believe it has always cleared alot of issues for me...as I alot of the time do not experience issues that alot of others do. MAKE SURE you backup everything you want to keep first. Also finding the right STOCK package for your phone is a must do.

well, everything i had on sd has been saved, but the phone is boot looping at vibrant screen on all roms that i try, so i think this may be related to an error on the format on internal sd card.
Do you know someway that i can fix it?
Re partition in odin don't work too...
Lincoln,

id seen it before, but doesn't work.
well i'd flashed a lot of roms and got these 2 errors:
data wipe failed ,
and
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.
Edit::
as i can see,the problem may be related to a problem with the partitions on internal sdcard,
but i dont have a rom with CWR that boots up on recovery,so if you have an JFD rooted firmware or know firmwares that i can mix to access the recovery with SU permissions on adb please post here,
Thanks,
are you trying to flash to stock? info
yes, but nether the stock or the others mod roms works....
My gtab is going in for warranty repair for a loose power connector pin. They said they'll swap out the circuit board because it's too hard to correct by soldering.
I have rooted it, and have many paid apps. Is there a way to save an image file like with a PC HD so I can restore it back to what I have now? If not, what's the best way to save/restore as much as possible?
Thanks

Boot into CWM and make a backup or use Titanium backup to make a backup.
I did use CWM, but it said it backed up "data", which to me means it wasn't a total image with the ROM and apps.

If you do a full backup with CWM, then when you get the new device, BE CERTAIN that you are at the same bootloader version before using that backup. (If you try to use a different BL, then you WILL brick the new device.) However, assuming the same BL version, you can just go into CWM again (assuming you have it installed) and do a full restore. The device should look and act just as it did when you backed it up. Even the ROM will be restored. I do this often when switching between ROMS for reviews, etc.
But, your concern for PAID apps is unwarranted. They are on your Android (Google) account. Even if you get a totally DIFFERENT device, they will show up as paid in the "My Apps" part of the Market. Also, most (???) of the free apps show up on my list.
Most (paid) apps are available to install on as many Android devices as you have (and sign on with the same account). The only exceptions are that some apps are not compatible with certain devices (phone vs tablet, etc) and some developers' license agreements only allow a single install (very few do this).
Best wishes on your replacement. I had the same problem (loose power connector) on my GTab but it was way out of warranty so I had to just solder on an external connector and run wires inside the device. It looks ugly but it works.
bl1.2 to 1.1
I got the gtab back, and it's now on bl1.2 (but still gingerbread), whereas it first came with 1.1, and I rooted it to Gtabcomb. So how do I get it back to 1.1 so I can restore my backup?
Visit this site here.
From there you can download the nvflash package for 1.1 boot loader with CWM pre-installed. Follow the instructions on the site for Code Red (I know you could do yellow but red is safer and you don't want to keep anything currently on the tab anyway.) After the nvflash, instead of installing a new rom, you can go into CWM and restore your backup.
That said, I suggest you don't do this. Most all new development is on the 1.2 boot loader now, even Viewsonic if you call them "developers". Anyway you can restore all your apps, even paid ones, through the market and if you did a Titanium Backup you can restore your data (I don't recommend restoring the apps, just the data after reinstalling from the market). Point is, you are already here (1.2) might as well try something new!
Of course, if you really want your old setup back, you can always try to go back. I personally have never had much luck with backups of any kind and pretty much accept that when I flash or crash, it's time to start over.

If you want to go back to the 1.1 bootloader I have an easy technique to do that--one that does not involve using nvflash. You will need to have ADB installed, though.

Let's not use nvflash for every little problem that comes along, eh? Esp. in this case, when its so easy to switch between bootloader versions.

Noted. Didn't know there was a better/safer method for switching between bootloaders. Most of the guides/info/instructions I have found recommend an nvflash to the stock rom for the bootloader version you want end up on. I follow these guides when switching versions:
Know Thy Bootloader
Gtablet for Dummies
and have never had a problem, so I was only pointing him to information that has always worked well for me. I have never tried the ADB method or the .zip installable method to switch and I didn't want to suggest that he try something I haven't successfully done myself, even if it looks easier.
Anyway please do advise on your ADB method. I still get a little nervous when switching BL versions even after doing it many times over the last year! By the way rajeevvp, thank you for the wealth of information you have posted here on this site.
ext SD won't mount
So I'm back to Bl1.1 and stock ROM, but can't get my backup to work cuz the card with the data won't mount. Now i admit I have some other directories on the card. Is that the problem?

Have you installed CWM (for the 1.1 bootloader)?

As long as there is a "clockworkmod" directory-tree in the root of the SD card (internal or external), and CWM recognizes the SD card (depending on the version of CWM, it might not use the external SD card at all), you should be able to do the restore.
If you install CWM-2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8, and the clockworkmod directory is on the external SD card, move that entire directory tree to the root of the internal card. CWM v08 uses the internal SD card for backups and restores.
Or else, you can install CWM-2.5.1.3 from bekit.net, which will use the external SD card if one is detected, and fall back to the internal one otherwise.

The ADB method involves flashing VS's stock recovery and then using that to downgrade/upgrade the bootloader using a simplified version of gojimi's downgrade/VS stock upgrade install zip file.
In review, I got a new board installed under warranty cuz of the power pin being bad. Was having trouble mounting the ext-sd.
Anyway, so many hours wasted, but FINALLY got Titanium Backup on it, restored everything, and things were back to normal EXCEPT tons of lockups. Browsing, using apps, didn't seem to matter. Then I remembered I dropping the CPU speed when I first went to Gtabcomb 9 months ago. I think that helped, but in the middle of updating some apps it did it again, and when I rebooted the security pin I had set up didn't work! What next?!?
So obviously needed to reset to factory, but then decided WTH, why not bring this thing up to the highest Android 3 I could. So I'm going to change from bl1.1 to 1.2, and go with Gtabcombover. So my questions are - what's the best way to get to 1.2, and will Titanium be able to restore my backup under 1.2?
Did you do a "wipe data/factory reset" and/or repartition the internal SD card after you installed CWM?

The safest method is to re-install 1.1-3588, then use it to update to 1.2.

both; followed Ray Waldo's tutorial

I know, but figured I'd go whole hog.
I restored my apps and data with Titanium, and so far all is well.

I have read a lot of threads but did not found situation that similar to mine.
The history of problem:
- I received NT 16Gb with 1.4.0 stock ROM and rooted it by using this post [Full Mod + Root + OTA block] Snowball-mod: Full Modification Root [1/6/2012]. It worked fine for me.
- After one month suddenly OTA comes with 1.4.2 stock ROM.
- I have re-rooted device with How to root 1.4.1 (or any other version) using just an sdcard {easy} thread.
Device in generally working but all apps I have installed or upgraded are gone after switch off of NT. Also NT "forget" GPlay password.
I tried to upgrade ROM to CM7 from CWM on SD - installation complete successfully but after switching on still previous ROM appears.
Also I tried to unbrick/recovery to stock ROM by most popular methods described at Development thread but received same result - no errors and no progress.
Does anybody can suggest what should I do now?

Are you sure you got root ? There is a free app which will check it and verify it. . . And what did you use to go to cm7 ?

I have successfully installed AdFree and some other apps that works only on rooted devices. But maybe after OTA upgrade to 1.4.2 and re-root some root functions are broken...
What app do you recommend to check if NT is rooted properly?
To upgrade to CM7 I have used this method: [ROM] CM7 8GB Compatible Beta for the Nook Tablet, Updated 7th July to Beta

I'll check Apps you recommended this evening.
I'd like to install cm7 internally but my problem is that I can't install (or repair) any ROMs. It seems like all partitions on my NT are "read-only".
Yesterday I tried to install ROM by using Restore function of CWM. Proccess finished without any errors, NT rebooted and I seen that nothing changed.
Also any Apps (or updates) installed are gone after swith off/on of NT.

If I may. The snowball mod was ahead of its time. It modified build.prop, framework, etc. I didn't find anyone else doing these things in that time frame. If you install Indirects Nook Tab Recovery Flasher and before reboot flash stock recovery you will be able to do eight failed boots to completely return to stock 1.4.0. From there you can do as you wish. There are also flash zips for stock recovery if you prefer.
Note: with the snowball mod I was not able to completely return to stock except with the eight failed boots.
Eight failed boots does normal recovery then reboots into factory recovery(two step process not one as most people use and recommend).
Good Luck

Unfortunately it doesn't work too. I have installed App to flash recovery (CWM {or} Stock) by Indirect. After flashing recovery image and rebooting NT I'v got an error message "Please reboot...". Also I tried to use eight failed boots just after flashing recovery image - it doesn't work.

Take a look at those threads:
[Q] Internal memory become read-only
[Q] Not able to uninstall apps
Hello all,
I'm having a ton of trouble with my nook tablet 16GB. Yesterday I decided to to try to completely turn it into an android tablet with no trace of the nook remaining software wise. So at first I went to youtube and saw a vid how to root it, it had a link in the description on the software I would need.
Everything went fine, It gave me root and even had a separate home launcher/ menu that had gapps and all. Now If I knew the hassle I was in for i'd have left it there, but I didn't. So the next thing I did was go to the cyanogen site and and dl the latest stable build which is cm-10.1.2, dated july 11 2013. I put the zip on the root of my sd card and try to flash with CWM based recovery 5.0.2.8. It looks like it completes as it doesn't abort or give any error messages but It would just get to the cm logo screen, and spin for about two seconds and go back to cyanoboot.
Since I didn't want to go any further based on frustration, I decided to go back to stock and just forget it. I downloaded a stock 1.4.2 rom and flashed it with the 5.0.2.8 and it was fine. It booted into the nook os and everything was good. Now since my nook was originally 1.4.3 I wanted to get it back to that before I quit for good. So I dl the 1.4.3 update from B&N, place it on the root of the actual tablet to do the manual update but it keeps booting into the 5.0.2.8 recovery and thats there I am now.
Tried flashing different versions of stock roms, stock- rooted roms, custom roms, some fail to flash, some look like they flash completely but it always takes my back to the cm recovery. In need of some help guys/gals. Also, I know most of the responses will be "use the search" However I doubt that anyone is having exactly this issue, with exactly these circumstances surrounding it, so I probably wont get an answer that actually helps me any.
You need CWM 6.x.x to flash CM10 properly. You can use your current CWM to flash a new one but I would suggest using this near fool proof way instead. You can use whatever CM10.x ROM you want but make sure you get the right version gapps to go with it.
Copied from another topic:
I would suggest you start over again and here is really easy way to do it:
1. Download, extract and burn this ready-made CM10 sd image to a 2 GB (?) (or larger - not 100% sure of the size since I use a larger card myself) sd card. Use this card as a bootable CWM card. Even if it's a complete run-able CM10 it also works as a bootable CWM! Very handy!
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/ t's a big download, but it's a more or less fool proof way of doing it! If I remember correctly there is actually room enough to put CM10 and GApps on the card. At least the one I use.
2. Boot into the recocvery of that card by pressing the "n" right after the power button and then hold the "n" to get to boot menu
3. In boot menu choose "sd recovery" ot something similar. This will take you to CWM
4. When in CWM install zips, wipe cache and Dalvik and you should be fine!
Once CM10 is installed it probably comes with CWM (the one I use does), so to get into CWM next time you need it, just hold "n" like before, but no need for a CWM card.
Edit: I checked, and there IS enough room for my favourite ROM and gApps on the boot section of the card. "My favourite" is the 1231 build on Iamafanof site. I have tried more recent ones, but I always go back to this one. Just my opinion of course! http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/

And FWIW, you'll find pretty much exactly the same story as yours told quite a few times here and pretty much always with a happy ending as long as you haven't started wiping and formatting things randomly.
Something you might have discovered if you had actually done some searches. I actually find your assumption that you wouldn't find a solution a little bit both nonchalant and slightly offending.

Ok i'm a little lost. I did what you said and got the image and wrote with win32diskimager. Put sd in and turned on power and to the sdc recovery and flashed it. I'm lost here. I figured there would just be another image cm mod 10 or something in the card and I would simply choose to flash it after selecting flash from sd or something to that effect.
I didnt see anything like that. Is there something i'm supposed to be flashing to install the clockwork mod? Your post says once I install cwm i'm good, but I don't know how to do that apparently because I don't see any rom to do so.
I am able to boot cyanogenmod from the card but that's not what I want to do. I want to flash it permanent to the rom and not have to worry about it again. How can I do this?
Btw I'm not sure if the flash worked totally, as If I just power one and do nothing it takes me to the clockwork mod 5.0.2.8. If I power on and hold the n the cyanboot will come up and I have to select the sdc recovery everytime just to make it show the 6.x.x.x version. I though your instructions would make the 6.x.x.x the default version from now on.
In any even, I'm still a little stuck. Lil more help please?
You need to put the files you want to flash on either that card or another card. Hence the comment about checking for space.

Are you actually reading what I write? I clearly tell that the card is meant to get you started as a bootable CWM card.
That means that it takes you into a CWM version that is correct for flashing CM10.X.
Once you are in the correct CWM you flash the same way you did when you had the wrong CWM.
Once you've done your flashing you will have everything installed internally and you can throw away the card.
And to be extra clear: You have to add the actual ROM and gApps to the card, or if there isn't enough room to another card.

That actually came to me as I was waiting for a reply. The reason I didnt thin of it sooner was that when I did the steps with the rooting stock nook it shrunk my card down to like 4 mb in size. I though this would do the same, and thus there would be no room for cm 10. However I decided to look and it was enough space. I just added the zip and flashed it with cwm 6.x.x. We'll see if it works
No luck. I flashed the cm 10.1.2 zip, I watch the blue status bar go all the way to the end, and the messages at the bottom say complete. I wipe the cache and the dalvik as suggested. and I hit reboot system. It just boots me right back into the cwm 5.0.2.8
Wich zip do you flash?
Try the one I suggest and if that works you can then flash another one to replace it if you want to.
You can start over with a completely 'virgin" stock Tablet in case it's your previous install of CWM 5 that's messing up things. Search for repart.img and run it and then start over again fresh

There is no need for all that. I did what you said. I booted into the proper clockwork mod 6.0.2.7, I figured out that I need to copy the cm10.2 rom to the card and flash. I did that. the problem is that even after flashing it wont boot to cm 10 from the internal storage. It still boots to cwm 5.0.2.8

Did you mistakenly format the /boot partition? It sounds like a bootloop. That could happen because a 512 byte file in that partition got deleted, I forgot the name of the file though.
Also, for future reference, you don't even have to root your devices (most of the time) to get a recovery image and aftermarket OS installed. This is what I followed to get CM10.1 on my Nook Tablet, a video guide by Ray Waldo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6D4s3okNQk
The OS he is using in that video is a live Ubuntu CD/USB, one of many Linux distributions. You need a program called GParted to set flags on the partition. If you want, you can instead get the live CD of GParted, but it wont be as user friendly as Ubuntu. (I'm a Debian guy myself though).

When you run the repart.img a green check mark should appear after a couple of minutes. When it does take out the card and the restore starts. If you get a red cross instead of the green check mark it means you messed up something when you were fiddling around in CWM 5.
If it does work I suggest you then follow my previous instructions again and use the exact ROM I link to as a starter setup that you then can change once you've seen things work.

I followed that guild to the letter, but there is no green check, it just says that it will shut down in 5 secs and remember to take the card out before powering up . The guide says that it should restart, but it doesnt. So thats where I am now.
What's on the screen before it says it will shut down? I have not heard of anyone not getting either the green or red mark.

How far into this description from that topic does things work as described? I don't connect to computer when I do this. I just turn on power, but maybe some devices need to be kick started by inserting the powered USB cable. If so I would do that instead of pushing power button.
* Put that SD card in your Nook Tablet
* Connect your Nook to your PC/Laptop
* Hold the power button of your Nook until you see "n" logo pops up
* release the powe button, in 1-2 minutes you will see a messsge "Please DO NOT turn off your device.....installing new software"
* Now DONT do anythign to your Nook - Just sit back and relax
* Once Nook finishes installing IMG, a "Green Checkmark" will appear on top right hand corner
* Remove your SD card from your Nook Tablet
* You will see Nook will restart itself
* Then you will be see a message displaying "Clearing Data"
* Afterwords you will see a message displaying "Installing factory Software...Do not Turn off your device"

its a black screen with a picture of a nook with a green arrow pointing down and a red X at the top right of the screen.
I figure the red X will turn into a green check once its done because it says in red letters installing software do not turn off the machine.
the green check never comes it just says shutting down in 5 seconds remember to remove SD card before powering on.
I have to remove the SD card I have tried leaving to SD card in I have waited for it to reboot on its own I have tried to reboot it myself it just never gets to the clearing data portion that is described in the guide
Well like I said before, the red x means you messed up something when in CWM 5. Probably what Sagirfahmid suggested. If you've ruined the boot section I can't help you. It is fixable and there are instructions here since you're certainly not the first one to have done it. I haven't dealt with that myself though so I can't help.
Until you find out what to do, run CM10 from that image you downloaded. It's very good and performs very well even from sd-card

Could this be something? I haven't checked it out myself so I don't know.

Since I suspect there's only a minor fault, here's something you can try. I have no idea if it can work, but it's worth a try! I have made a backup from a Tablet running CM10 and put a zip file of it in my Public DropBox folder. You can unzip it and try to use the restore fucntion in the CWM 6.x.x that you can get into with the sd-card you made. I don't think there is enough room for the backup file, but once CWM 6.x.x. is running you can switch sd cards. The reason I thought this would be worth a try is that the boot section is backed up, and in case there's a tiny problem with yours maybe this is all it needs to get going.
I will leave the link and the file for about 24 hours or until you say you've downloaded it (or say you're going to try something else instead).
Edit: Link removed. New link in later post!

Thanks for the hint, but it didnt work either. It just aborted. I actually had enough space to put your image on the bootable card. I book into cyanoboot, and go to sdc recovery. It brings up cwm 6.0.2.7 and i try to flash your image from the sd card but it fails.
Anyone know where I can get instructions on how to repair/restore/reflash boot section. I've running the tab off the card with the cm 10 rom as mention in earlier posts, but I'd really like to get this fixed so it boots internally. Any help in pointing me to some instructions would help. Thanks

Did you unzip it like I said you should? You are NOT supposed to flash it! You go to "backup and restore" in CWM 6.x.x and choose restore. Doesn't sound to me like that's what you did.
When unzipped it's a folder that probably is too big for the boot card but you can switch to another card once CWM 6.X.X is running.

My fault I didn't unzip it before. However, I just tried it now with the unzipped folder on the root of the sd card, and i selected backup and restore and it just keeps saying cant mound sd card. I'm going to try to from the internal storage since i was able to get the tablet to boot with the help of cyanoboot.
Edit:
I booted into cyanoboot and got to the os, I attached tab to pc and copied your unzipped file to the internal storage. It says no files found when I selected backup and restore in cwm 6.x

I think this time it's my mistake! It suddenly dawned on me that in CWM 6.x.x you can't just load the backup file like I was thinking. It need more. Hang on to the file and I'll see if I can figure out what else id needed!

OK cool I'm at work now so I can't work on it either way, but post your suggestion/ links when you can and I'll try it out when I get home and report back. Thanks.
Hello,
I just wiped my phone including data and installed the latest TWRP on my Le max 2. Now it won't mount anymore so I have no way of putting the new OS on the phone...
Can someone help me fix this problem please?
A little bit more info will help; is the phone still recognised by your computer? Can you still launch TWRP on the phone?
If it is fully bricked this info will help: https://www.gizmochina.com/2016/11/20/leeco-x820-max-2-super-unbrick-guide/
Or this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/guide-hard-brick-fix-qualcomm-hs-usb-t3492949. Both explain how to use the flash tool to recover (I had a hard time to get the drivers on Windows to work).
If you still can launch TWRP, copy the .zip file on the phone with 'adb' -for example on /SDCARD. And instruct TWRP to install the new ROM.

Ps: main issue is I don't know what you mean with 'not mounting. You mean you don't see the phone as a drive on the computer? Or you don't see the partitions mounted on TWRP?
For me it's not clear what's exactly your problem.
The last time I tried installing the TWRP's last version, it didn't work. It seems to be smaller than the previous one, which works smoothly. Maybe it might be your case.
Edit:
In case you simply can't find the phone when connected, there's a command to transfer files and install them using adb fastboot.

I would also try the "Format data" option under "Wipe". That solved my "cannot mount" issue.
Today, i had the same error
"Can't mount /system"
For me helped in TWRP, under erase -repair partition (to ext3).
After that I could install a new image.
Heyyo, is it giving you encryption errors?
By wiping data did you mean format data or only wiped data?

The smaller TWRP has nothing to do with it working or not. The old 50MB ones are actually bloated and with what I'm not sure. Look at other devices such as the OnePlus 3 which hover around 20MB like the latest TWRP-3.2.1-0 does for x2.
I'd also recommend the latest test version if you're trying an Oreo ROM or having decryption issues as in my testing it successfully decrypts EUI ROM 19s Indian partitions same with custom ROMs.
