[Q] Reboot into Recovery/Android Market (gApps) problem - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Hi, I followed the instructions at liliputing
<Link removed by OP>
to dual-boot CM7 on my NT16 with an SD card.
I tried to follow step 5 to get the Android Marketplace but whenever the Nook restarts, it stops at a screen that tells me to restart the device and try again or to go to nook.com for support.
Can anyone help me get the Android Marketplace running on my Nook?

as a new member
RULE:
never post any links outside of xda unless it is for file download or picture
follow the steps in the xda forums when it comes to dual boot
(people have gotten viruses from the links that 'new' users post, including myself)
and NEVER and i mean Never post a tinyurl link...Very sketchy

I've had a look for dual boot threads but can't seem to find much that doesn't involve rooting the device.
Should I just start again using these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826&highlight=dual+boot+cm7
or these:

or something else?

good job
now
link 2 is better but
link 1(main rom download) already implies you know the steps of link 2

Start again using link one.

NEwBiE HELPP!!!

I have a massive headache trying to figure all this stuff out.
I have a t-mobile hd2
RAM of 576 and Speed of 1024MHz and Flash of 1024MB
when hold the volume and power button, it reads the following:
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
I downloaded the andriod installer on my computer, along with HSPL, HSPL2, and HSPL3.
My objective is to hopefully get android on my Leo.
Ive read all the threads and im just really confused...I ran HSPL2 and i get an error screen that says i have a bad Model ID.
PLEASE HELP ME...IM SO LOST!!
You have some options:
1. Use search function of the board. (recommended)
2. Try to get the answer is the Android porting thread. I suggest to search the thread first (recommended, too)
3. this one
Ulti
i tried all of that and i get so confused...can someone actually help me?
I'm going to help so many next time you will help yourself and look a little more.
First of all you dont need to flash and thing to run android. It is in beta currently and is ran buy haret which is kinda like a emulator. When you read the link below you will realize that it has all kinds of problems. Those problems are known.There is also a Faq about those problems and what you can do to help solve them.
there are not instructions on how to operate android. By trying this we assume you know a little bit about android.
It looks like you already have the hslp but I am also going to provide a link on how to flash rom's and radio's.

No disrespect ment to you as I do know you have been around for a while. But it seems as though he doesnt have much experience in doing this.
That would seem like its just gunna cause more problems. there is still problems with power management. So its gunna eat away at his battery. This I know because I run android almost full time and thats a risk i'm just willing to deal with.
Secondly it boots right into android no stopping at windows. So if something goes wrong he is stuck. And will have to reflash.
I tried it and couldnt tether and had to go right back. Maybe he doesnt need to tether so it could be fine but I really think he should start off slow.

[Q] Eris Rooting track ball challenge

I have spent days looking for threads so this neewb is about to break something. Well maybe not. I have my daughters Eris 2.1 and am trying to root it for her. I have tried several times with different methods. The issue is that I can get into recovery mode after every 1 click app but nothing I try will let me toggle to unzip to SD, or toggle to anything for that matter, volume wont do it and all track ball will do is let me select reboot. Man my DX was easy compared to the one click method.
HELP PLEASE,
If the trackball is having trouble scrolling, I'd install the trackball-optional custom recovery so you can use other buttons to scroll. There are instructions for doing this here:
http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/214240-amon_ra-1-6-2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html
It sounds like you fall into "Scenario 2" which says you should follow the same method as "Scenario 1" to get rooted using the trackball-optional recovery.
I'll give it a shot, The help is much appreciated,
I am been trying to help him to get this thing to add the Custom Recovery, but every root format has not worked at all. Most are outdated or there are files missing. Specially on the link provided above. The download for the scripts no longer has Root_1 or Root_2, it has a bunch of other stuff there for gscript. Found an link on Droidforums for gscript for rooting and the scripts don't work.
Any complete instructions anywhere?

popfan,
I am not aware that any of the above links or files are missing... Can you point-out / tell me specifically which files you cannot access / download / link-to?
The root_part1 and root_part2 files are part of erisuser1's (bftb0's) Universal Root for Dummies! thread that I do reference in my AF thread, but these should still be up, active, and available.
So, I'm not sure if you are speaking about becoming rooted or installing a my trackball-optional custom recovery.
Let us know.
Cheers!
Im sure my kid has shuned me for leaving her Eris with someone so thanks to everyone for the help. Pop is helping me out and after moving file at the point where it says to open and look to see root 1 and root2 they are not there and there are a ton of other stuff. Also the pick look different than on the thread like the app has been updated. Also when doing the ball recovery there is no tools folder to be found. I'm sure pop wont touch it again till tomorrow so any other help / advice is more than welcome or it may cost me my Dx

LOL, sorry, didn't make/see the connection between your two posts .
Okay, let's try something new here...
Just a week or so ago, I re-packed jcase's 1-click rooting app to include my trackball-optional recovery image in lieu of the original recovery that his app includes.
So, let's have you re-root using the new 1-click app (all credit to jcase, both for his app and his threads both here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228 and over at AF http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/139178-universal-1-click-eris-app-apk-no-pcs-no-scripts-needed-easy.html).
Since you've already used the 1-click app before, then all you'll have to do is grab my new "trackball-optional" version:
https://sites.google.com/site/scaryalienware/downloads/one-click-tbo.apk
MD5 sum: 15763b51cf707c027cc73bc117e1fc39
(the "tbo" in the name stands for "trackball optional" ).
Just follow the same process you did before while running the 1-click app and you should end-up with my trackball-optional recovery installed.
Let me know how it goes (you'll be the first besides me that I know of that has tried it; the user that I created it for to test has not yet responded, LOL).
Cheers!
I tried this link below. It no longer has the root_1 and root_2 in it.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=774XYFRA
I did use your "updated" 1-click app with tbo and it worked great.
Thanks!!
Too bad this phone was not as easy as my captivate.

Glad that jcase's repackaged app worked for you. I'll update my documentation to make this available to others.
Also, re. the above Megaupload link...it works just fine for me (from my PC and from my Droid X) and includes all of the aforementioned root_part1/2 files.
I think you've fallen prey to a truncated download, which is not uncommon with Megaupload in my experience. This is also why is important to double-check the file sizes and MD5 checksums of files that you download so that you know you got the whole-shebang; notice that erisuser1 did include the MD5 in his thread for this file:
- Download gscript.zip (MD5 92796a8c6e61e8f1ee36e315c0acae7d)
I've often found it helpful to use a different browser other than the stock browser (like Opera Mini) when doing downloads via my Eris since the stock browser does seem to have more issues (timeouts perhaps) than it should.
Cheers!
Thanks to all this tuff till you hooked us up but now on to nightmare 2
I downloaded CyanogenMod7.1.0 RC1 [2.3.5 GingerBread NIGHTLY]
from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430&highlight=ROM
Got it up but it has no market so I can not get to titanium, boot loader or anything... It says to flash google apps after the rom but now Im back to the trackball / volume key issue because it's all in titanium. ??? I did a factory reset and it came back up as the new ROM, ???
EDIT UPDATE!!!!
Sorry for the hassle all, the "green" start call button works as the down after the download.. All is well.. I think..
Again thanks to you all, If I hear of any good deals on an Eris I will know why.
You need to download GAPPS to your sdcard. That is why you don't have market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430&highlight=ROM
Its just below link for the rom and save it to your sdcard. Go ahead boot into recovery and wipe data, daliv-cache, cache; Flash Rom again, then flash gapps and reboot.

[Q] How to calibrate screen in ics

How do you calibrate the touchscreen in ics?
the calibration.ini trick does not seem to work
(I can't even find the TSCalibration program anywhere ...)

Do the calibration through CWM. Run the "echo ..." command here after an "adb shell".
no such directory as /sys/devices/platform/tegra_touch on ics

I know. Which is why I suggested doing it using CWM. See post #2, above, again.
I *did* read that - but I have only the faintest conception
of what an adb shell is. I don't particularly want to go to
the trouble of installing the sdk for which I have no need.
That's why I *hoped* the simpler way in the original post
might work.

FYI: I don't think you need to install the entire SDK just to run ADB. The adb executable (and, its libraries) alone should suffice--it does on Linux.

There is a simpler method now. Go through that post again. I've got a zip file there which you can flash using CWM.

that's great. There's a warning about which kernels work but
I assume that the kernel in ics is OK, right?
Edit: sorry, you meant the CWM kernel so that's OK

coby 1125 ics touch screen calibrate
Could any of you please help. I upgraded the coby from gb to ics using the various techniques listed. I was eventually successful, however, I can't really use it because the touchscreen seems to be backwards, and mirrored. If I'm not mistaken, it seems calibrated for the 8127, where mine is 1127 10" widescreen. the "about" displays it as Model# mid8127, o.s. ver 4.0.3. I can't use any aps to correct since no file manager is present, and it is next to impossible to type through get jar. I couldn't follow the directions on this thread keenly, so please explain step by step. Though I got ics to work, somehow, I'm a rookie, and don't understand tech stuff that much. I have access to ubuntu 12.04, and windows, so I can connect the tablet, which I have done, but I don't understand how to use abd, nor cwmmanger. I tried, but got confused, though I was on windows 7. Please give me the steps in plain terms how I may use ts_calibrate, or any other method to c orrect the touch issue. If there were a way to access the start menu or file responsible and edit that. Such was the case on another tablet of mine the wm mid8650, where a similair issue occured installing uberoid. I had to edit for the 8" screen vs the primary 7"
Thanks!

You should talk to the guys who created the ICS for your tablet. They're the ones who'll be able to help you.

The steps in this thread are specific to a) the Tegra 2 Harmony-based tablets manufactured by Malata (eg. the ViewSonic gTablet) and b) to the stock or stock-derived kernels for those tablets.

I see, missed that. Thanks anyway, but the version is initially from coby germany i presume, but I may have picked mine up from a thread link, and since I've visited many souces, I'm not sure. I could contact coby germany, but not sure how forthcoming they would be. Thanks anyway! I think this needs to be done on sd card some how.
Thank you, rajeevvp!!!! Flashing the zip file through CWM has definitely made touch sensitivity miles better. Working great now!!!

Updated root method and ADB drivers???????? any links

so i came across this Nook Tablet 16 gig and i am trying to root and install Google play on it so i can give it to a friend but... All of the tutorials either are no longer valid or more importantly i cant find a valid link to get ADB drivers???? so for example this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354487 the link for the drivers doesnt work and thats the main problem???? anyone?? have a link to a more updated and organized thread
What do you mean "not valid"? The ones you find here certainly are valid!
You do not need ADB. Guides telling you to use that to root are kind of outdated!
You find 2 links to perfectly fine working roots in my topic, under section B.

[P769] A serious request

This topic is specific to the P769 only...
So, we all know that the bootloader can be unlocked, and the phone can be rooted, etc... But all of this information is scattered about in several different threads, one linking to another, etc etc. This can create mass confusion, even for those that are very Android OS savvy.
The request is this... Someone with good knowledge of this device, that can speak (type) clearly, and with proper grammar use...
Would you be willing to write up two tutorials?
Tutorial 1 = 100% Bootloader unlock, root, and CWM installed from ICS.
Tutorial 2 = 100% Bootloader unlock, root, and CWM installed from JellyBean.
Tutorial Criteria
1. Must be in English (Additional languages are fine, but English is the primary language of these boards)
2. ALL files needed from start to finish must be included in a single zip package.
NOTE: If you need me to host the files, I will. Permalink via Google Drive, Mirror on Dropbox
3. All information borrowed from other threads, must be thread linked at the bottom of the tutorial with proper credit given.
4. Absolutely no thread bouncing. Example: "First, go to this thread and do everything listed, then come back her and continue from this step"
NOTE: Everything, all instructions, files, etc., must be on one thread. This minimizes open browser windows, and eliminates most of the confusion caused by thread bouncing.
5. Proper categorization. Example: Section 1, Phone and PC prep. Section 2, Bootloader unlocking. ETC, ETC.
For anyone interested in taking on this task, I will offer you this...
-File hosting, as mentioned above
-Tutorial help... Meaning I will help you write it up if you need help with a certain section or sections
-Tutorial testing... Meaning once the tutorial is done, I will test it from start to finish on my own device before you publish it. This will minimize the risk of snags in the tutorial by others.
Anything I missed?? Show your support for this by either clicking thanks, or leaving your comment below.
I would be willing to do it but might take me a while and where should I post both?
Sent From My Cyanogen Running P769
In the help section. Linking to other posts is fine to show credit where it's deserved but preferably either at the very top or very bottom of the tutorial. the point of this is one smooth set of instructions from start to finish in one spot, for the full Monty.
