I am ready to break something!!!
OK, after spending over a day reading and trying different things to no avail, my brain is a jumbled mess
i have a 16gb NT it was updated to the 1.4.3 when i started. I rooted it using indirect/brianf21 sd card method. everything worked fine for the little bit that i messed with it in this state. i then moved on to Veronica's CM7beta_ribbon_ICS rom for the most part everything was working. I installed a few apps from the market and on a reboot i got stuck in a bootloop. powered off, bootloop again. so i booted into CWM and tried reflashing the ROM only to be met with the 'please restart you device' screen. its all downhill from there. i can currently boot into CWM internally and have tried many different methods. so right now i dont get the 'restart' screen as it just goes into CWM. I have never worked with ABD but have been fighting drivers trying to get my nook to show up and having no luck so that i might try something there. i am new to rooting on the NT but have rooted and flashed different roms to my phone so i feel i have a basic concept. i dont know if im having so much of an issue cuz of the 1.4.3 or what **sigh**
I am now defeated and am in need of some help!!! haha! if anyone has anything to offer i would be so very thankful!

in order to get drivers working while in recocery mode you need to find the product id of the nook while its in cwm. in windows you need to go to device manager and check to see if your nook shows up in "other devices". then right click and go to properties and go to the tab that relates to hardware and find the neccessary info.
after that you should see two lines. ypu need to copy those two to the android_win.inf and modify the lines in there with notepad or something.
then try installing drivers and it shouls pick it up

thanks for the reply. ok my nook is showing up as a mass storage device under other devices but is also showing up under android phone as 'android composite ADB interface' and also under portable devices as 2 drives G: and H: both unclickable. when i right click the android phone i get a hardware tab but all i see there is device functions and device functions summery so im not sure of the info that you are referring to that i need. i have been at this all day and apologize if i am missing something because im tired haha. the other file i found was called android_winusb.inf, is this the right one? thanks again for your help!

yea that inf file is the one you need to modify. but you already have adb composite interface... so that means drivers are installed.
what happens when you do adb devices after you get into cwm. what's the output?

did you download the drivers and adb zip from one of the threads? that archive should have all you need for adb. after extractng you need to navigate to the extracted folder and do adb devices.
try looking in thr general section for these drivers I was talking about.
there should be a thread by lavero burgos in there.

ok well now you have adb working. now the problem is how to fix your problem lol... I'll see if I can think of something.
in the meantime can you go into detail as to how you got tto your current situation?
EDIT: do you get any errors when booting into cwm? like not being able to mount a certain drive or something?
Sent from my Nook Tablet CM7 BETA using xda premium app
no errors booting into cwm internal and never had a problem when booting into it from an sd card. i flashed it internally hoping it would be a little easier seeing as how i only have one sd card but i am going to go get another today just to work through this.
nook started on 1.4.3 i rooted it using brianf23 and indirects sd card method. market and everything worked great. so i flashed Veronica's CM7beta_ribbon_ICS rom. everything for the most part was working, tho i did notice that some menu items would not open for me but they were noting i really needed to mess with at the time. so i installed a few apps and was done for the day. turned it on the next day and got stuck in a bootloop, so powered off and rebooted but got the same bootloop. booted into recovery did the standard dalvik cache ect and reflashed the rom, hoping this might fix the loop. upon rebooting is when i got stuck at the 'please reboot your device' screen. i have tried several methods of just flashing to stock ect, formatted my sd correctly and made sure it was active to try and flash back to stock that way but my nook will not boot from sd. so 12+ hours later i hung my head and asked for help lol! thanks to you i am able to start ADB no clue what to do but hey....step in the right direction!
Happy Dance
i got it working back to stock!! thank you so much for getting me going with ADB, without your help i would have stayed lost. i used kring789's ADB instructions and *poof* it rebooted to stock :good::good: thanks again for your help!

Hi,
I want to try install the new Cyanogenmod on my Tab, read a bit about it, and tried last night to get it going. many different forums and steps were tried... none worked? Thing is, I read a lot of terms and stuff, but I'm not sure what they all mean.
My route took me through Android SDK's for drivers, Samsung drivers with escape??? no clue what that was?? Nvidia drivers? Then tried to use a program called Clockworkmod? Confusing, especially since nothing seemed to actually do anything?
What is it that I need to do exactly?
What i can say is that when I boot my Tab up, there is an unlocked padlock at the bottom of the screen.
I have the latest Cyanogenmod for my Tab "p3" downloaded, as well as the Google Apps.
Cheers

You need to use Odin to flash Clockworkmod recovery onto your tablet.
Then you need to download the p4wifi (if yours is wifi) edition of CM9
Then boot clockworkmod recovery and flash CM9 and then Google Apps
ok, but with more in depth steps please, i got a better idea now though!! thanks

Root http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-root-clockworkmod-recovery-50799/ (stop after step 12.)
CM9 Flashable Zip http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/4709/cm-9-20120720-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip
Get into recovery mode, go to install zip from SD, select the zip /\ hit yes. Reboot.
Ok, no joy,
What I seem to have:
A working fastboot, fastboot devices does list my device. And when I try flash something via Odin, my Tab says "flashing mbr to device" so my action on my pc does initiate something on the tab. yet it stops there, at the flashing mbr to device screen. It does not start the recovery img.
A working adb, adb reboot recovery does reboot my tablet, but it still does not boot into recovery. It has a android sign, with a yellow exlamation mark over it.
I've tried to flash skitzandroid, clockworkmod, and the tabrooteasy one. I just cant seem to get this thing rooted?
Is there something I'm missing?
I do have an unlocked padlock on my screen when i boot it up.

Here's what happened:
-Had Eryigit GB-Installed PA w/ mevordel's kernel 4.0Rebooted recoveryStarted weird bootloop=would go back into recovery and act like its installing something, then reboot, ad infinitum
I tried reflashing Eryigits rom from odin,
then repartitioning. Somehow it was able to boot into Eryigit's ROM once, but the capacitative buttons didnt work and I couldnt reboot into anything except for download mode or a normal samsung logo bootloop.
I tried a few more things in Odin (not blindly, mind you) and still no go.. I can get it into recovery only if I flash a bootloader in Odin and auto-reboot it, otherwise it just goes back to the bootloop.
I believe I have the same problem as in this thread
I'm trying to adb into my device, but am having trouble detecting it. It'll connect in Odin fine, but not in adb, whether in download mode or just hanging at the samsung logo.
What can I do to fix this without adb working? I'm hoping for an odin fix for it, but through the mountains of threads I've been reading I don't believe there to be.
According to the thread above ^ it needs to be repartitioned manually... I read all the threads linked to and tried adb & heimdall but no luck after like 3+ weeks ):
Can anybody give me a better explanation of whats going on or throw me some troubleshooting advice?

If you are sure of what you state, solution is from post 39 at the following adress

But check if you have a true "memory partitioning issue" best is said when wiping cache you get many advices about what is wrong (normaly in red letters!)

Normally we can solve this within a thread that can help any other getting the same issue.
i am still very involved because end 2011 I got in trouble (I was expecting to have much better performance by flashing a Gnote kernel !!!!) and stayed for months reading at XDA for a save. (also good english training then)
your Pb:
did you check by wiping if you are in this situation? You should get advice that (partition from n 14 and upper can't be read) if so follow the tracks from the relevant post and tell me what goes wrong with you.
I fixed it! you will do it the same!
PS:To enter Adb you should flash FIRST a kernel (with ODIN) rj14 for int'll version or entropy for US model

So, you were able to flash entropy's kernel (said you have a US device?) Now you can go to recovery mode and enter adb call for;" adb devices" and your will and must show up. No need to mount anything. I 've never, under win7, tryied this. so no comment.
Would you mind to give me what is said after you do a single wipe because we have to be sure your problem is really a memory partition wreck.

Ok, I was able to adb shell and rebuild the partition table, and it was indeed messed up, and I can mount usb storage, but I still can't get it to boot into any rom, and it refuses to boot into cwm recovery unless its just rebooted from odin. in recovery in the log it has an error about libc.so, idk if that has anything to do with it though. I'm beginning to think the problem may have to do with my usb cable. I accidentally switched the stock one with a Galaxy SII one, which should be fine, but maybe not.

The "mount USB storage" option is for mounting the SD card on your computer. That error is because you don't have an external SD card inserted.

hehehe, I kinda realized that after posting. Derp.
But I think it may have to do with /data & maybe other folders/files being R/O (read only..) instead of R/W, as per this thread so I am now convinced I need the bootchain for the galaxy player, but this is just a sneaking suspicion, I need to do some more digging before making a fool of myself again

Ok you have all the needed stuff and now you are trained and skilled enough. You will succeed.
Why not you to try flashing Mevordel's GB Chip 1.5 rom that is in my view the best for your device, it is light simple and fast and no need for more for what we expect from this excellent but outdated product.

Yes, I tried flashing it in cwm, along with eryigit (both with entropys kernel flashed over them) and PA venturi, but it refuses to boot properly. If it is the bootchain, how can I get a dump of a working one?
And I was able to dump a lot of stuff from [adb pull */*] and can access logs and dmesg, but havent inspected them fully. Is there an easy way to read the boot log and/or setup a custom log to run preboot? I figure that wouldnt be necessary since the linux kernel does a fine job of logging itself.
And yes I think I am skilled enough now, just was confused how to get to the adb shell, but I'm fairly well versed in linux, so the shell is relatively comfortable for me.
But if I'm able to figure it out I'm going to make a How To thread including what I've found and what you've found and posted to make it easier for nooblets in the future, maybe even make a simple shell script to repartition the US 8gb model.

Mainly luck hehe. But actually from the mentioned threads ^^^^^ and this nifty trick, but use caution as I have no clue how well this works for other devices, if it all. And a large part of the problem was that my battery was dead because it wasn't charging correctly when plugged into my computer; and it kept dying in Odin.
Do you have a similar problem?? I can probably help..
Hi, got a problem, long story short, cant acces internal storage in any way, tried to flash gapps for cmx by lloir but cwm and twrp dont allow me to do it in any way (fastboot flash, adb sideload zip), does anyone had similar problem or even better, found a solution?

Make sure your adb is up to date and supports sideload and make sure you have the proper drivers on your pc to recognize the hox+
Once those terms are met, flash TWRP and do the sideload process again and ditch CWM
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
yes, adb is up to date, it supports sideload, there was no other way to flash rom (which is quite logical), i am using linux, screw windows-style "proper drivers" (and yes, I have proper drivers), adb/fastboot devices returns me serial code for plugged phone and yes, tried to sideload that zip in twrp (sending ok, writing failed) and in cwm (dunno, adb sideload gapps.zip didnt work anyway). I acctualy tried to figure out whats going on before posting, but nothing helped :/
P.S. I woke up sick today, which is bad for my stretched program, so I may be a bit rude...
i assume you have "enabled" sideload in TWRP
advanced > sideload
or you can just adb push filename.zip data/media/0/whatever.zip (if you use 4.2.1 just remove the 0) within the recovery without needing to hit sideload
yes, i have enabled sideload, in cwm, device was not found, in twrp terminal quoted sending ok, writing failed
adb push was I think endless waiting for device, or error (cant try it again right away, dont have hox+ here), but i am not sure i tried right path when i am looking at data/media/... :/ will try in few hours
You can also just push the file to your sdcard and then flash by putting in adb push then the file /sdcard
Sent from my HTC EVARE_UL using xda app-developers app
Dunno if you cant read or what, but I cant just adb push or fastboot flash it, I cant put in internal storage by any mean I can think of thats whole point of this thread...
Yes I did understand bit mounting sd storage is not possible at the time , and if sideload does not work which I have experienced myself , adb push does work in recovery.

@mmgill I solved it in a weird way for me (maybe someone can explain), I tried to flash paranoid android, flashing OK, but it didnt boot after really long time, so I decided to put there CMX by llior again (found out its sofar only rom working for me). And like a miracle, external storage was avaliable for camera, file managers, windows and ubuntu (after making whole MTP concept work in ubuntu). Will try to flash some other roms my friend wanted to use (I dont own HOX+, it resembles dining plate for me, its my friends phone and it was his first root ).

Greetings.
Ok, then I am sorry... anyway, problem solved by flashing another rom, its not really my phone, its my friends, we were unable to do this earlier, cos hes not as much educated in all this and he downloaded several roms, which were all for AT&T HOX+ (he has international version), I did believe him that he choosed roms compatible with his phone, but hes dumbass and I feel terrible to loose many hours of my time when I could write my thesis and even worse to not check it earlier after him (its honestly very stupid rookie mistake), it just occured to me out of blue while chewing tobbaco... Thanks for help anyway, some things said helped to resolve this issue much faster...

so dumb... and now I am typing fastboot flash boot XYZ.img in my dreams...
using the right version of TWRP
Just a thought, if this is still an issue for anyone. But if you aren't able to mount your internal storage make sure you have installed the correct recovery installed. You can check at the end of the .img, Sprint ends with M7wls, international ends with M7, and there are others.
If you don't have the correct recovery installed it may not load your storage.
Hope this helps,
Cheers.

I get 2 different results 1)error 207 (update failed) or 2) boot loop.
One stange thing did happen once - It's managed to reload the android installer, I selected a language, then it crashed again. Of course I tried the same thing again, but it never got past the boot loop again.
After 2 weeks of trying, I'd like some help.
I always have it plugged in. It's not the battery. It's the HDD model and I don't know exactly which version came with the device. I think 4.0.25.. not 100% sure
Please help
I don't have the HDD model so don't know what to tell you exactly..
What I would do on my flash model is boot into recovery. completely reformat the system and use recovery to update the firmware with an Archos firmware (aos file) onto it.
Reformating it from recovery would bring the filesystem back to stock so it should fix anything wierd any of the other roms might have done. So dropping an Archos firmware on it should in theory fix it. Though you WILL lose your root and anything else you have on the drive.

Thanks for your help, but no luck- that didn't work. I'm sure I lost all my data a long time ago with the amount of reformats I've done. What I'm curious about is, can the tablet actually become a brick just by using these rooted firmwares? I'm assuming that it's fine and that I just have to 'crack to code' to installing the right firmware in the right order.....
I'm still curious if anyone else has had this problem..
Hmm.. Try going back into recovery and try the Reset Android option?
Maybe do Reset Android. Reformat Device. Upgrade Firmware?
The device boots.. so it has to be something causing it.. Have you tried to see if you can use ADB to get into the device and look at any log entries?

ADB? ok, I didn't know what it was. But it's now installed and I followed a random setup on youtube, but when I type ADB devices, nothing comes up.
So now I have it installed, but I so far I can't get win7 to detect the tablet in device manager
Regarless, can the ADB detect problems on the tablet when the archos is only connected waiting for the AOS file (A101H-REC - 299MB)?
Btw, you've already got me waaaaay over my head on this stuff - but still, I'm learning.

Let me join the conversation
Adb works only is it is enabled in developer settings.
What kind of system do you have in use?
In your case i would probably try exporting hdd in sde. This allows you to browse files inside your hdd in linux operating system through usb.
If it is empty, i would export data partition through sde. This allows you to see if there are any files in your data partition.
You said that the device bootloops, yes? That means that the reformat device is not working. It would remove the system, so you shouldnt even see the bootanimation.

Hi, thanks - any advice is welcome. I only have windows7 - Sorry.
As for the bootloop, yes that's the status. I hadn't even considered that the reformatting process wasn't actaully working [but it is] - I reformatted the device and didn't install an AOS. now every restart brings me straight into the Recovery menu [which should happen i assume].
So, with a "clean" but stubborn device, what would you advise to try to isolate the problem? (rather than me simply blindly trying random things)
Thanks

So reformat works. Have you tried to flash the official 4.0.28(http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/gen9_4.0.28/firmware_archos_it4.aos)?
After searching about your error 207, I found this:http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=56037
Code 207 is issued by aosparser when the .aos upgrade file doesn't
pass the signature check.
...
There's more bad news... If the genuine original .aos files are also
giving the same error it means the signing keystore may also have been
damaged.

Of course, this is for Archos 5, so hopefully this is not the case.

Yeah, I've used the aos from the archos site a bunch of times - still no luck. btw, that link to the 4.0.28 didn't work....
by "Flash" I hope you mean install.... not some other random process

Yeah... I just noticed it was broken. And yes, I meant install.
I am sorry, but I'm out of ideas.

So, do you know if I can access/use ADB on a win7 pc when the archos doesn't have an aos on it?

You could try this. it's written that it doesn't work on hdd model. but it can't get much worse it think. If I understand things correctly, you don't need to have installed any aos before installing this rom. with other roms you get a archos.ext4.update so you need a running system. yust give it a try but don't blame me if your tablet's completely dead afterwards. i don't know what will happen.
Or you could just follow the steps 1-7 (from link above!) to get cwm, maybe that helps for sth, but i don't know.
sry, but my writing style is bad. and do it on your own risk, I'm not that expirienced but that's what I would do...
Good luck

I gave up on this 6 months ago. but I turned it on 2 days ago and it magically worked.... Now, it's back in a bootloop again. Everything was working for two days, except sometimes the HDD wasn't reading the files, or the system wasn't detecting the HDD...
Could the HDD be damaged? If so, is there a way to check if it is (I was thinking about the ssd option)
hey guys, i have no clue what happened. i havent fooled around and fiddled with my HDX 8.9 in months. i rooted it in december and installed safestrap last month (but i didnt use it. i only installed safestrap in anticipation of a rom) and out of the blue my kindles wifi stopped working yesterday. i decided to restart it bc thats the ultimate fix for all electronics but now its stuck on the animated kindle fire boot logo. ADB works and i can also boot into fastboot. Thats where my knowledge ends. i dont have the knowledge you guys have and i have googled this for the past 3 hoours but to no avail. i would find other help on other devices but i dont wanna risk ruining my hdx even more by trying another devices fix.
can anyone tell me how to recover from adb. i tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530623
and it just booted me into fastboot and i would use this command: "fastboot -w -i 0x1949" and that doesnt do anything. androidcowboy seemed to have some problems with that method too, so im skeptical. is there someway to push a unmodified firmware and get stock back?? ill provide any more info you guys need. a quick step by step or a link to somebody elses page would be awesome!! a cookie to the best helper! :highfive:
PS i should also mention that i can in fact boot into safestrap. however, my backup does not appear. my internal storage in safestrap says 0mb. is my internal sdcard not mounting for a reason?
please help!

did you use the normal usb calbe to boot into fastboot mode? or you were using a special usb cable?
if you can boot into safesatrap, then your hdx is not a brick at all ,you can fix it in safestrap ,try to google the ways using the SS.

thanks for response. i was using a normal cable. are you sugesting that i load amazons official firmware over my stock partition through SS? this is why i was asking because this is what it seems google say to do. i was planning on doing that but i didnt want to mess my device up more so thats why i was asking. i was thinking of creating a slot and installing stock firmware on it and see if it was safe but because my internal storage doesnt mount and shows up as 0mb i was unable to create a slot and load the firmaware.
please be a little more specific as to what i should be googling and i will gladly do it. i hate asking questions in forums bc i dont want to be that guy who takes peoples time up for a simple solutioin but the truth is that i looked everywhere before i asked the question. i have a couple of methods i would like to use but i dont know which one is the right one and the safest one. im leaning towards reloading stock amazon firmware into the stock slot on SS.
thanks again and sorry for being a pain. im a noob compared to most of you guys but believe it or not im quite tech saavy.
anybody toss me a clue please. should i go ahead a flash stock rom? i went to dl stock rom from http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_left_v4_sib?ie=UTF8&nodeId=201357220 and it was a .bin. should i rename it to a zip? also, the file i downloaded is 488mb however when it downloaded it said it was supposed to be 795mb. i dled it twice and it came out 488 both times. can somebody give me a md5 of their update so i know i have a proper file. sorry to sound desperate but i need answers. :fingers-crossed:
thanks y'all
My copy of update-kindle-14.3.1.0_user_310079820 is 794 MB.
