cant find the delete button
anyways the device is fully hardware bricked.
it was a 1.4.2 oem off the shelf nook
it showed rev3 for the omap processor
thats pretty much all the hardware details i remember:
How i permanently bricked it:
after having Lag0matic help me i recovered the 1st time i soft bricked it by using adb to wipe the mmcmlk0 memory card, then re-partition it.
i used the ubuntu wipe and restore image to flash back to 1.4.0 that is included with the ubuntu tool
i rebooted the device and skipped registration and made sure it worked
i used sdformatter to wipe a 16bg pny card i bought from walmart (it is a 4 rated speed card)
i placed the 8-16gb cwm extracted files from the 8-16 cm7 recovery img to the card
i placed the teamb-beta-1 zip onto the card
i placed gapps onto the card
i then booted off the SD card with the cm7 recovery image and installed the teamb-beta1 zip successfully
i factory wiped as recommended
i cleared the cache as recommended
i cleared the dalvik cache
i then installed gapps via the same way
i removed the sd card
rebooted
installed some video players (pretty much all of them that had more than 4.5 stars to try play HD video
it woudlnt play hd video
noticed the hardware players would not enable hardware codecs, and if forced would hard lock the thread and force me to hard boot it
gave up on that, copied some games from my htc-glacier over to my sd card for the nook (i copied the whole sd card from the phone)
played some games but the saved games would not load
copied them to the internal "sd card" (data space)
still would not load saved games
figured to clean install it again
using the normal memory card manager (NOT that evil tophat rommanager) i formatted the sd-card, and the internal card by dis-mounting them then formatting them
made the cwm bootable, added the rom and gapps again (same versions)
...
device will not boot with the cable plugged in
unplugged the cable, it boots, but the memory card will not boot the device. it locks up on the "non animated" boot screen
plug the cable back in, still wont boot from it
take out memory card
now it boots with the cable plugged in. wierd. oh well. put stick in and hit the N button to load the recovery manually
recovery will not load from the sd card. "bad image, crc etc"
/huh i think/
reboot again, no sd card, hit n to go to the internal recovery
internal recovery loads, shows me the same errors as before indicating the partitions are gone ... again ....
/me = scream and swear .... alot
go to recovery
recovery cannot write to data, system. emmc, only boot AAAAND! it no longer says happy errors, now it says omap.c can't mkfs on .... blah (alot of things)
/me = oh ****, it is referring to itself as the cpu... not a good sign/
fire up adb
adb shell = no devices
/me = no biggie/
stop and restart adb kill/start server like last time to pick the unit up
adb devices = ur boned dude..... no devices
/me = ooooohhh ****/
look in device manager
the generic adb device entry ... is not listed...
/crap self/
re-install windows to seperate box
adb still wont see it
reboot issues are getting worse... now it keeps doing the soft-recovery for BN.... then hanging.
/DURP/
after that last reboot and "self heal attempt" it is fully durped.
it will not boot if the usb cable has power to it, be it computer or wall plug
it will not boot from the sd card. and 50% of the time with the sd card in it wont power at all.
by not powering up, the lcd stays dead, no flicker, no backlight so this is not a blank screen, or hung.
so. the unit may be defective... not sure. but theres my story. and a big note of warning.
thank you mega,Lag and others... but i think the unit is going back, and i think im opting for a refund. i learned alot, but the device just makes me feel uneasy in its current state. maybe i will pick a used one up when cm9 hits stable beta, but cm7 was excellent but as i discovered not quite enough (video playback, i did not realize that gingerbread had issues with mkv which is 99% of my video collection).

When I turn on my phone using JUST the power button, it vibrates, and that's it. The screen doesn't turn, nor do any lights.
When I turn on the phone using the BL Screen (rainbow, POWER+Comm+Camera), it shows me:
TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40 Olipro
CLPD-9
Then, when I plug it to my computer, it reads the device, and tells me its "WM 6.1.6965".
I want to be able to turn on my phone and let the OS boot normally, but nothing seems to work! I've tried flashing different ROMs and Radios, but they all seems to have either an "Image Error" or "They cannot find a device" on my computer.
I want to be able to use my phone, but I have no idea where to start. How did it get to this state?
I'm not sure.
PLEASE HELP ME. Much appreciated.
have you tried the sd card method. Where you rename the rom in the update called RUU_signed.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh and place it on the root of the sd card ( a fat 32 formatted non sdhc card) any small one will do as long as its big enough to hold the rom normally about 70-100mb so a 128mb or bigger card should work but nothing over 2gb card wise. All you do is put the file that you renamed onto the micro sd card then go into the boot loader screen of your phone via power+camera+reset it will briefly say serial then go to a screen prompting you to update follow what buttons to push to do the update via the on screen prompts, once done it will say update complete. It has been my best experience to take the battery out for 20-30sec when this screen comes up then replace the battery and boot via the power button. Hope this helps.
Oh I could have flamed you for not searching and provided you a link to one of the many forums on here already about the titan (ppc6800) but sometimes its just as easy to take 2 min to post what works as it is to digg up the proper forum via search results.
Thanks for the info.
However, I have searched the forums, and everyone seems to have a happy go lucky time when it comes to flashing, which would mean...that I'M not.
Nevertheless, I have tried the SD Card method, with the proper card (1 gig, FAT32, 1024), and when I put it in the Phone, it says "Loading...", then "NO IMAGE FILE!"
I don't know what's up with that. I've tried different custom and official ROMs, and each time I get that message.
put the USB earphone/ USB power plug into the phone and push the reset button
not to make you sound dumb but make sure that you put the RUU_signed.nbh file on there from the downloaded rom or official rom via looking @ the exe with winrar or similar software ... then rename it to TITAIMG.nbh and place on the card... i had similar problems but got past them via doing a full format of the sd card with these selected options 4kb sectors and fat 32 for the format and un-checking quick format once formatted that way the boot loader saw the image and i was able to flash.
I reformatted using the suggested parameters, and even so, it said "No Image File!"
I did rename the RUU.nbh file to TITAIMG.nbh, and even then.
That's why this is so frustrating for me. It makes no sense that this doesn't work.
Thanks.
i guess you need to search the forums for the program that un-bricks your phone seems that something is wrong and part of the phone is not working, however sense the computer sees the device you should be able to run one of the programs to bring it back.
on a side not try if you have one available another sd card some don't like to work with the boot loader but will still work fine with the phone as an sd card.
The file is on the card base directory and not in a folder right? If you place it in a folder it will not see it. I had to do the SD flash on my XV6800 because I screwed it up by not loading the Radio first.
I searched the forums, and didn't see an easy to follow answer to my question.
I just got one of the woot tablets, so I've only had it a few days. It is stock, but I did temp root it so I could apply the market fix. Everything was working fine for a couple of days, but this morning when I turned it on, it seemed to be in a boot loop (the Tap N Tap screen kept cycling until it shut itself off).
Will I need a micro sd card to recover? I saw some threads that talked about connecting to a computer and transferring a file to the internal drive, but my computer isn't recognizing the internal drive on my g-tab. I can only see it when the G-tab is booted up, and I turn on the USB transfer from the G-tab.
If there is already a thread with easy to follow instructions could someone point me in the right direction?
BTW, I have already tried the vol+ and power button, I get the message that says recovery key detected, and then the box in the center of the screen. but then it continues into a boot loop.
Thanks for your help.

You probably need to do the NVFlash to stock ROM.
Well.. I'll throw my idea out there.
I think you may need to re-partition the SD card.
Apparently this happens to all of them at some point, and in fact it did happen to mine.
The device comes rooted, so you aren't rooting or unrooting in any of this. Its already rooted.
Go here: (the clockwork guide)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
You'll want to download the cwmod_microsd from the first post, then extract the zip to the root of a micro sd card. Put the microSD card into the tab, then boot using the Vol+ and power. You will get the message that a recovery key was pressed then its going to automatically install clockworkmod recovery.
I dont recall if it finished booting at that point or shuts itself down. Regardless you'll still be in your bootloop so start it back up again using the vol+ and power key again.
This time you'll be greeted with clockwork recovery.
Once in the menu, you can go to Advanced and mount the sd card. Copy any files off of it that you may need to your computer, the next step will erase the internal SD card.
If nothing is needed, ignore this step.
**I repeat, the internal SD card will be wiped here.
From within clockwork mod recovery go to Advanced->Partition SD card. Choose 2048 for the first option and 0 for the swap.
Go back to the main clockwork screen and choose to restart device.
Cross your fingers that you boot up without a loop.
I'm doing this from memory, so if my verbage is a little off my bad. But you should see what I'm talking about.
Thank you... So I guess I need to go out and buy a micro sd card. Any size/class recomendations?
Depends.. Do you want it to get it back up and running.. 1gb or less.
Or do you want to also increase the storage of the device.. 4-32gb recommended.
If you just wanna get rolling again then get whatever the cheapest one available is.
If you're going to continue to use it, try and get a class 4 card or better, it will help with bigger file transfers.
LisaBham,
Yes, you probably will need a microSD card and it's good to get one that comes with an adapter so it fits in a SD slot to read/write. Also, if your computer does not have
a built-in reader that reads micro- or SD cards, you might need an adapter to USB.
Main thing is that you have two options, it looks like to me:
1. If you have a microSD card, you can make a CWM Recovery card out of it. Then
you can possible load CWM and get it to work even though you at looping (and BTW,
that's not your fault -- G-Tabs just do that one in a while.):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020747
If you can get CWM loaded and up, go to Advanced and run the Partition (2048 and 0)
option and the Fix Permissions Option and the Wipe Dalvik Cache option. Then go back to the Main Menu and run the Wipe Cache and Wipe/Reset Factory Data.
The shut down, boot and see if the G-Tablet will come up and work.
2. If one doesn't fix the looping problem, then you will need to continue and nvflash
back to a fresh, stock copy of the os.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950
If you follow this thread all the way through, it installs a copy of bekit 1105 which is stock version 2638. Assuming that boots and runs, the when you hook up the wifi
connection it shortly will offer you an OTA (over the air) upgrade to 3588. Then
you are back to where you can do what you want to.
Hope this helps.

OK, I made a stupid mistake and before I throw my phone away, I thought I would at least check to see if someone has a recommendation first.
In CWM, I chose to format system, data, and all the other format options. It essentially wiped my device, and then when I chose to reboot recovery, it hangs at the Vibrant screen. I am now not able to boot into recovery. I assume that my choice in formatting everything removed recovery? Not a problem in and of itself because I can get my phone into download mode and use Odin to put my recovery and desired ROM except that my micro USB port is damaged to the point that my phone will not charge or connect to a PC.
In short, is there a way to install a version of recovery onto my external sd card and then have my phone boot from external SD card? Since I cannot physically plug my phone into a computer, the only way I can think of getting files onto the device is via the external SD card.
Any other suggestions are appreciated, including what to do with my new brick
You can always fix the USB port on your phone so don't toss it, unless you want to toss it my way!
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
I have a weird one. I have rebuilt my Nook and followed the directions about how to make the SDcard active, the flag is correct and everything. It will load the loader if I power it on via a powered USB cable but when I try to power it off and back on without the cable, it goes directly into the original nook tablet OS. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

You're not the only one. This seems to be a common issue between newer (or was it older?) model Nooks.

On my previous build - Cyanomod 10 - Jelly Bean, I didn't have this issue. I just lost that memory card and tried it again and get the boot issue.

now it seems u know the steps already but im reposting in case u missed something.....i had the same problem. i found that some NT's only respond to this exact file that i will provide. use my files in this step and get back to me. REMEMBER TO READ ALL STEPS I PROVIDED IN CASE U FORGOT SOMETHING
step1- download (https://www.mediafire.com/folder/dd1cwv3uw0u18/NOOK TABLET) <<-----sdboot.zip and cwm.zip
step2-download minitool partition wizzy
step3-put sd card into computer
step4-using minitool, delete partition, create partition (make primary, and fat32), right click on sd card (usually F set flag to active and change partition ID type to 0x0c fat32lba and then click apply. (IN THAT ORDER)
step5-once parted copy from the sdboot attatchment provided to sd card, the recovery.img, MLO,flashing_boot, and u-boot. Also put the cwm emmc.zip provided as well into sdcard.
step6-put sd into nook, MAKE SURE NOOK OFF BEFORE U PUT IT IN OR U WILL HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, then plug nook into computer via usb cord, be patient and wait for nook to boot, once it finally boots, U MUST BE VERY QUICK AND PRESS "N" THE SECOND CYANOBOOT POPS UP, GO TO SDC RECOVERY NOT INTERNAL RECOVERY. that will load up sd cwm, once it is up it will now let u install the cwm i provided. install it.
step7-once this is done unplug it from comp, turn off, and repeat steps 3-6 (BUT THIS TIME ADD THE CYANOGENMOD 10.+ YOU WANT TO USE IN THE SD CARD AS WELL ALONG WITH THE CORRECT GAPPS) once sd cyanoboot pops up choose internal recovery instead of sdc recovery. install cm10+, gapps, and the internal cwm emmc.zip i gave u as well for good measure.
step8- once done take out sd card and reboot regularly with/without usb doesnt matter. u should be good...........it seems like alot but its actually rly fast when u got the hang of it.
Hi Guys,
I am at my wits end with my Nook tablet. No matter what I do, the NT refuses to boot until I take the micro sdcard out. The screen remains dark no matter how long I wait. However, if I leave it plugged in it eventually starts up by itself. My ROM is cm-11-20140705-NIGHTLY-acclaim but I have had this problem since 10.2.1. Here is what I have tried:
• I tried two different 32 GB cards (formatted with Minitool Partition Manager). Both sdcards are SanDisk Class 4 or better. I tried two different 32 GB cards (formatted with Minitool Partition Manager).
• It doesn't manner what is on the card. I have tried a card that only contained flash_recovery_6.0.3.7_sdcard.zip and the NT still doesn't boot. I was able to flash that and the SD flashed recovery seems to work, but I still can't get the NT to boot as long as that card is installed.
• I have tried plugging the NT into the charger while trying to boot and I can't boot with the Power button, but if I leave it in the charger for a while it boots by itself even though the card is plugged in.
• ES file manager can "see" everything on the card when the tablet is running and all apps seem to run fine.
While this is not such a big deal, I sure would like to be able to press the power key and have the NT boot up with the card installed.
Any ideas?

I am going to assume you have CM-11-20140705-NIGHTLY-acclaim installed on EMMC internal. I am currently running CM-11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-acclaim on EMMC internal with CWM v6.0.4.8. The only thing I can say to try, and I have done a lot to my Nook, is formatting your SD card with -- SD Formatter 4.0 for SD/SDHC/SDXC. I wasn't sure to add the external link but if you Google that exactly you'll get right to it. I have had no issues with numerous cards from 8gb to 32gb. Once I did that, I also erased the SD card when I was fully booted into CM, under settings - storage. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the comment.
I have found the reason why the NT won't boot. I overlooked the fact that I still had the MLO and uboot.bin files in the root of the sdcard from the bad old days. I deleted them and now the tablet boots up even when the card is installed. So that problem is solved.
Now I have to figure out why the sdcard normal, the sdcard recovery, and the sdcard alternate boot images are grayed out in the boot menu. Again, not a big deal because I can boot into emmc recovery where I have CWM Recovery 6.0.48 installed. I just don't like when things don't work as they should. If I can't figure out why, I'll start a new thread for this problem.
I believe those only show up when you are booting off a properly setup sdcard. I've never seen mine lit up on my nook color or nook tablet in all the years I've used them. So I think you are good to go.
