Be Warned: Use at your own risk. I am not or anyone related to this method is responsible for anything that happens to your device.I have searched and tried mostly every single method out there to try to unbrick my Nook Tablet 16GB, will not work on 8GB, still working on it.. My tablet was having issues after I flashed CM10, my fault of not creating a back up. If tablet cannot boot to CWM, this will help.
1. Download these files that really needed for this process.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74968242/NT_Toolbox_Alpha_0.5.0.0.zip
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74968242/NTUnBrick.zip
2. Unzip “NTUnbrike.zip”, get a file named "NTUnbrike.img"
3. Then ,use Win2DiskImager, burn img into your sd card.
4. Open your sd card, copy folder usb drivers to your pc.
5. Connect the Nook via USB and run“驱动安装引导” from the sd card，it will help to update driver succefully. If that doesnt work, go to Control Panel, Device Manager, Scroll down to Other Devices or Portable Devices. If do not see "Nook Tablet" scroll to Universal Serial Bus Controllers, uninstall USB Mass Storage. Disconnect device and reconnect, try again to update driver. You have to see "Nook Tablet". If you see a "yellow warning /!\" sign on top of the "Nook Tablet" update the drive by right clicking it. Here is a link if you can't update drivers successful: https://nookdeveloper.zendesk.com/e...eloper-start-up-guide#_Install_NOOK_SDK_Addon. Go to section 4.1
6. Once that is done, Turn off Nook and put sd card in your Nook, connect via USB. The Nook will then show a brown box, then boot into CWM.
7. Run NT-toolbox.exe. Everything is in Chinese so will probably see a bunch of ????? or wierd letters, dont worry.
8. I have marked what needs to be clicked.
First hit "?????" circled on the pic.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Second hit "????" circled on this pic, wait for like 30 seconds.
Finally, if your drivers are correct, the following circled box will fill in, hit the circled "????" on this pic, wait until your Nook turns off.
The Nook will turn off and successful! Just boot for 10times, press power, when you see n, hold power button until your nt shut down, do this for 10 times!
This will make your Nook new, back to stock. Continue with reroot and flash your necessary ROMs desired.
To possibly fix Nook Tablet stuck at "Read Forever" screen,
1. Boot into CWM.
2. Go to Mounts and Storage
3.Unmount all the options.
4. Reboot System.
5. Sit back and wait!
You are done!
I want to thank Mab100% from China and his partners of devs on helping me unbrick my Nook without a headache. This has been written by centenj. Any questions PM me. If it worked for you please dont forget to hit THANKS.
Hopefully this will work for my nook! Gonna try it tomorrow

And the second is the two pictures the same and on the third one i don't get that button activated to press on it.
Do you have any idea what i might be doing wrong.

Im happy it worked for you. Is there anything I have to update on the first post to make it easier on the brothers. I had the same issue with the drivers and I had to go to BN.com to make it work. It is so much to explain updating the drivers but I think I can make a video for others to enjoy.
Not actually. I think it's clear enough. But you can set a link to one other existing thread that explains how to fix drivers .
And you can tell that roting files are also on the sd card

Stuck At Read Forever
Ok if some of you are having issues with the Nook Tablet getting stuck at "Read Forever" screen, thanks to SomeDoofusLover have found an easier way to speed up the process. Here it is:
Okay after messing around with the Nook, i went to CWM and unmounted all the options. I rebooted the Nook... it said "Clearing Data" and then "Restoring to factory settings"!! Now it's all back together!! Thank you!!
So you could possibly add this to your OP. I would reply to your thread but I just created this account today. I am not a stranger to XDA Developers, I just have been a lurker.
To possibly fix Nook Tablet stuck at "Read Forever" screen,
1. Boot into CWM.
2. Go to Mounts and Storage
3.Unmount all the options.
4. Reboot System.
5. Sit back and wait!
If that doesn't work I'm pretty sure u can make an boot able SD card with Ubuntu from the thread of Adam, or its another thread to fix dead nook.

I had a user in the HTC Incredible forums ask for this mod for the over here, so here it is.. HTC sense settings icons for your Nook Color running CM7. If it stops working (due to changes in the ROMs settings app, etc), don't be shy... Say something.
Please note: I do not have a Nook Color, so feedback is imperative for me to keep this running properly as I am unable to test it myself-the only reason it is here is because of user request.

Dig the settings theme...very nicely done, esp without your own device. One observation....the "Storage" icon looks like a speaker to me. I think it is meant to be a hard drive, but that only comes from really staring at it. Could be just me, though. Again, great work and I sent you a PM already.

1. You can google: ADB installation for (insert whatever OS you use here. i.e. adb installation for ubuntu)
2. once you get it all setup, you will extract my .zip file to your /tools directory
3. connect device to PC with USB degugging enabled
4. open a terminal or cmd prompt on your PC, cd into your /tools directory and type the following
Code:
adb push settings.apk /system/app
Hope that helps.
Beyond that, how do you install CM7? This should install the same way, as I pulled the mount scripts from the CM7.0.0 stable update-script.

Thank you, I will try this later when I get home. Its been a while since I used this.
Installing CM7 in the nook is much different than the INC. With the nook you have the option to boot off SD card or internal emmc, so installing them to internal i would be able to use CWM and flash it same as inc, but since i've isntalled it to an SD card, I was not sure how to get it installed after the fact since there is no CWM with this option.

Ooh.. Makes sense. Sounds like the easiest way might be installation on EMMC. Either way. =)

Thank you very much for this! On all my Android devices with these fantastic technically awesome builds, which are every more and more amazing each month, also seem to get more and more bland and devoid of color. This mod is nice.
Also, the speaker looks like a hard drive to me.
Thanks again!

You can move the settings.apk with a file manager. Rename the original in case you need it and set the permissions accordingly, reboot and good to go.

OK, so that is not your icon...got it. I have never had phones with Sense, so no problem. Again, very happy to have some more color with CM7....nicely done!
I really appreciate the responses. I agree that AOSP lacks some much needed color and snap-especially gingerbread. As amazing as the OS is, Google could really use some better graphic designers IMO.
Edit: has anyone successfully flashed this via recovery? The mounts should work properly if you have CM7 installed on EMMC. Just curious for future reference.

Hello everone!
First of all: I know I do not post a new ROM here, and also I know that this isn't the usual way to clear things, I hope the mods can forgive me, I will explain why I start this thread.
First of all, the problem: As a lot of you noticed, when you try an ICS-based ROM like CM9 or any of those MIUI v4-clones, your external SD-card is gone. Normally you find all your data at /sdcard/external_sd/, and now you go to that folder with a file explorer to see that it's empty.
A lot of those guys now post in the threads of these ROMs complaining about lost data and stuff, sometimes getting an answer, sometimes not. The workaround is the same on all these ROMs, but most of the ROM devs do not add this fix to their start-postings.
As no one reads a full 300+-pages thread, the solution for this problem gets lost ("Didn't you read the solution on page 153?" ). This is why I start a new thread to link on, with a full tutorial, even pictures are added, yaaay.
Again: This is no new solution, I didn't code anything new.
-----
So this is how you do it:
First of all go to this thread and download the apk for Directory Bind. Install it.
This app was built to move data to your external SD to get more space on your internal memory, we use this app in a different way.
When you use a file explorer with root permissions, you will see that your external SD can be found at /mnt/emmc/. This folder is unhandy to use, as most applications aren't built to access any directories outside /sdcard/ (would need root permissions). [I once saw a ROM where the external SD was mounted to /mnt/ext_sdcard/, if that's the case in your ROM, just do it the same way ]
So you start Directory Bind, tap on the menu button and add a new entry. Use these settings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you see, all data that's in /emmc/ (do NOT forget the slash at the end!) should get mounted to /sdcard/external_sd/ (again: don't forget the slash). Do NOT tick the "Transfer files from target to data"-Button, as this would cause the whole external SD to be copied onto your internal memory!
After tapping "Add", you should see a new entry in your list of bindings. Tap on the disc-icon in front of that entry, so it becomes green:
If the icon becomes red, check if you have any spelling mistakes in the paths you used or if /emmc/ is the correct path for your SD-card [see /ext_sdcard/-issue above].
If all went well, tap the menu-button again and open the preferences. First of all enable the box at the top, saying "Bind on boot". I hope I don't have to explain why
Second, scroll down to the bottom and enable the "Alternate dbase mgmt"-Box. This isn't 100% neccessary, it can work without this option. I tested two devices and both had to have this option enabled to keep the settings after a reboot. To be sure, just enable it.
You can now close Directory Bind and check your /sdcard/external_sd/-folder again to see everything is there! Reboot to check if you were successful in the whole "bind on boot"-thing.
That's it, gl&hf with it
Thanks for this tip, work in AOKP Bezke 07/03/2012

When your sd-card is "broken", I don't think that this method will help. This DirectoryBind-thing is just a trick to point the /emmc/-folder to a more handy one, so it requires a working card in the emmc-folder.
If even your pc can't get the data, there is probably something wrong in the FAT of that card. I would try to format the card via your msdos-commandline or something, trying different filesystems and stuff.
Very, very, very, very great topic.
Now i´m very happy.
THANKS A LOT!!!

Command line parameters: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/format.mspx?mfr=true
I tried this method and after binding it my phone re-installed all my apps, and when opening random apps it would pop up saying it was binding my directory. Astro and other file managers did not show the external_sd directory I linked emmc to so I finally just gave up and uninstalled it.
HELP
Hi.
Thanks a lot for the workaround.
I've done as you said and it worked - BUT - before the change I had a music folder filled with music in external_sd. After the bind, I don't see that folder anymore. It's not in external_sd.
I do see emmc in external_sd but not the original folders that were created in external_sd before bind.
Can you help me with this?
Thanks
tried this method,
realized I had snapped SD card in half the day before
fail
Tried this few times.. It works pretty good.. But the only problem is my gallery showing double images.. From emmc & external..how to hide one of it? Any suggestions?

I think its super user related because mine works about 75% after reboot and when it doesn't I just need to open the app, click the icon so it turns green again (no typing required) and exit the app then it works again.

Sorry, but you completely missed the point. With Condi's AIO Tools you may spoof the device for system update to see it as an older firmware, it's also a part of a rescue-backdoor (but not the necessary part).

started USB MASS STORAGE mode on Sony Tablet S!!!
Without any additional software!
That USB MODE is not even available in system settings,
system notification on the device says:
"Connected as an installer" lol.
Gonna figure everything out, to be an easy to use
...and most probably I will add this feature in next AiO
Its a good day

Doesn't UMS normally leads to new drives appearing on the PC's file explorer, like while inserting an USB key?
In the case of the tablet, one drive for the internal SD card, another for the external one if there's one inserted...
The "gadget" link shown by your screenshots is neither what we expect for a MTP link. It reminds me what I see when connecting a device in fastboot mode.
But well... We will know all the story in next AiO!

OK then, for example - show me how you are working with your external SD on MTP mode, of course without taking it out and putting in card reader?
It will be also helpful for Linux and Mac OS users.
The 'gadget' is just as I expected to be.
Also 'gadget' reminds me a nice cartoon from my childhood - inspector gadget
Below is a quick video, sorry for quality and shaking hand lol:

Sorry, but you completely missed the point. With Condi's AIO Tools you may spoof the device for system update to see it as an older firmware, it's also a part of a rescue-backdoor (but not the necessary part).

Thank you. I thought it was something to do with that. I am unrooted ICS so I was just curious.

So, tell me the steps to turn it on.
There is no such option on this device.
On ICS it is. Like on my Galaxy S 2, but not here.

Nope, you're wrong. Do you think that I would spend some hours on trying to do something which is already done?

Oh Nesquick - one more example Try to open some file directly from 'mtp drive' - some .doc etc, modify it, and try to save it. You will not.
Its been copied to tmp dir, no 'direct access'.
Thats why I hate MTP mode.
Current state of my USB Mass Storage mode is which needs one reboot after running. Im trying to find the solution for direct change.
If we would have kernel access, then it would work already..
But we dont. To be continued

Condi, I've no trouble with MTP... Or should I say, I've the same troubles as anybody else. Horrible on my Linux platforms, slow, uneasy to use and even worst whith my Nexus which has no SD card slot.
What I tried to say when looking at your screenshots was they aren't looking like something known : no drive on Windows explorer, no Sony tablet device, just the "gadget" link. Your video later shows an E:\CONDISD showing that you've win the race.
As I was saying, the "gadget" link appears when I connect something in fastboot mode to my PC (in the USB menu of my VirtualBox Windows XP VM to be precise) and I was thinking that you may have put your finger on some low level USB thing (showed by the tablet as an installer!) which could open some perspectives.
Of course, I know that you're the first here to see exploitable perspectives and one of the only people here able to do something with them but who knows...
By the way, I'm thinking of an adb based file explorer. No time to do it myself but many people have already done it. Just google "adb file explorer" and choose the one that best match your needs.

I like Android Commander as an explorer using ADB (btw from aanother Polish dev)
Good morning folks,
fist want to say ... Condi well done .. I thing is a work in the right direction ..
Currently I use a workaround with apps like AirDroid as a WLAN file explorer.
Additional advantage, you need no USB cable (but WLAN connection).

Does anyone know how to pull (not freeze) the stock camera/gallery on the Warp Sequent and replace it with a VERY similar one (JB+ by moblynx virtually same camera, just more options, like timer & editing), plus have it connect with Google Sync & account? Yes, I am Rooted and ROM'd with Awesome Android. Titanium backup & Root explorer doesn't show the camera app, only the gallery. So I'm lost and worried about crashing an awesome ROM without proper guidance. Thanks in advance for any possible help
Sent from my confused Warp/Nexus using Tapatalk 2
You know I got ya back, and I will help anyway i can, but , i only used Awesome android for like 5 minutes, and didn't like the simplicity of it.
You have a good start with your process. You have root explorer, now you can navigate through your rom. if y ou want to delete the normal app by
changing the permission in root explorer to rw. basically , being able to write over/delete etc.but i would suggest saving them to your sdcard. then i would guess after you get rid of the old stuff you just add the files you want on your sd card and copy/paste them where the old ones were. This doesn't mean they will actually work on a rom that they are not made for. I don't really understand the part about you wasting a rom. I know you made backups. I dont see it bricking your phone. but with any kind of mods you have to be careful. Also, it probably wouldn't hurt to talk to shinru about his rom. He made it and would be the first person i would speak to. I wanted to make 10.1, so i spoke to the creator lol , and after butting heads for a while, now PG helps me out when i get in a bind. If I wouldn't have exposed EarlyMon for his duechebag ways , i'd still be droppin my opinions on that forum lol.. Hows your theme gig rollin big dog...?
You should rename the thread to "The beginning of Bcrichster's Themes and Mods" the title of a thread will bring in more people..
Also [tags] ..And a bad a$$ OPening statement for the first post, to tell everyone what you are about...Unless you just want it to be a question, but not many people will come to answer it. I been looking at other peoples question threads, most people just say "google it" lol
Thanx, bro! been trying to look into getting my hardrive a complete wipe and memory upgrade first cuz mine's pretty lacking in many areas and after I did an initial wipe/recovery - found all kinda spyware embedded in recovery files (NOT GOOD!). That's another topic for another thread elsewhere, lol. Long story short: PC got hacked from both mid Texas & tokelau island... So first things first. Wipe corruption & install Security! Lmao.. Fun don't wanna mod/theme something with corruption - everyone will hate that AND me for putting it out there. Next - WHICH FILE & WHERE (folder) do I find the camera? Do I just work w/the gallery? I've been modding this AA ROM to my own personal desires n stuff but I'm lost on this one? I DID ask Shinru but I'm waiting on his reply and he gets to be a busy dev. When I Do get my PC right, my thread's gonna be Titled: BCRichster's Monster T.I.P's (Themes In Progress) Theme titles will be based on sk8 Tricks & Guitars.. In fact, I think I'll reserve the title immediately
But for now, THIS thread is just gonna be a "help me!" Question, lmao

I got one word for you, KILL DISK, lol
It's free and it will knock any malware/virus da f#@k out lol
I use it even when i dont need to use it.
I told you about that theme studio, i tried to use it, and i had issues.
But i got ya back if you want to set up a kitchen, i can research the process.
Anyway ,just put KILLDISK on a usb and go to Bios and change boot order to USB
then as you restart it is going to start up..
Write zeros to everything..
Do you have a clean recovery?, i know you said your recovery was tainted..
Get the recovery disks , or if you don't mind linux is FREE..
I love me some Mint 14.. I previously said 15/ but it has a bug for wifi on my pc
If you run into issues, I'm almost always on here, while i'm at work.
HOLLA

OK, I'll consider Linux w/ proper info like: 1- what program will I need for internet connection - I USB tether my sequent for that. 2- Is it user friendly? As in, can I mouse click icons or do I need to command prompt everything (I'd need a guide for that)? 3- What kind of antivirus/anti malware program should I look into (or would it even need it?) I know that if I use Linux I'll be closer to android custom themes / mods. But need the right info for such a big transition. Maybe even dual boot...

Good news cousin, I am a Windows lover as well, so Mint 14 , theres hardly even a transition shock. I use wifi tether beta apk from Google play for internet. (and Kali linux(just kidding) I'm a White Hat !)
It's very User Friendly, I use Terminal everyday, but not for normal everyday activities.
Instructions for Dual-boot are part of step 1 on my tutorial if needed. and I don't use any Anti-virus program on linux. You can, but in linux there are very few viruses.
As far as Bios, it would be better to google " change boot order in Bios" before you muck about and B.S.O.D ur PC. You access it from different buttons for different PC's... mine is f8 at the top of the keyboard as you turn on your PC.. a prehistoric looking blue screen will pop up.

WiFi tether beta and my WiFi tether for root users doesn't exist on the playstore anymore. I use a USB tether (PDAnet.exe) for my PC. Will that work?
Sent from my confused Warp/Nexus using Tapatalk 2
".exe" there is your problem. that file is a windows file, you may be able to get "wine" on linux to run it. but i don't know.. When you get your PC squared away, i will upload a apk for you, when it was on play store it was free, so no issues.
OK. My Linux program is on my only flash drive & It's giving me the option to completely overwrite windows with Linux mint 14, but it's not reading my phone (as a USB, media, ANYTHING!)..(maybe I should pull my mem card out of phone..?) without that, I have no way of transferring files of any sort to upload/download/install... Much less internet connection via USB from phone since I have an old PC tower & no WiFi dongle. If u could post or pm me everything I would need to make it work, I would be ecstatic! :beer:
I know less about how to go about Linux than I do anything else, but if u can help me get those things setup I can learn the rest. Installing Linux should completely wipe my Drive too.

Not sure. Y are you trying to mount it. You just hit install on all the hard drive. Go through the steps. Remove the live disk and reboot.
You may have to do it manually or do it alongside windows or use the .exe file . Is your windows still working?

So how you think we can go about getting a new root tool for the warp sequent, seeing as we need fastboot.?
there has to be a way around it
Maybe Java?? - in which I have no experience..
The 4.1.2 update changed some partitions as well.. I'm not privy as to the exact details (cuz I'm clueless due to the fact I'm trying to theme, not build. Lol)

na ,man building aint all that hard, unless you have to build a device tree from scratch. Even with a 80 GB drive with PG'z d-tree, you could set up a single build , and theme it, and mod it.. and have your own $ROM$
Hey Xda developers,
I'm kinda frustrated at the moment so I'm sorry if I sound that way. I recently bought a Sony Xperia Z Ultra (for 2 months now). And yesterday I came to the conclusion that I had cracks in my screen. Not long after that I realised that my touchscreen was dead too. How did this all happen? I have no clue as to why but probably because I always put it in my pocket all day. It probably couldn't handle the forces while bending my leg when sitting while the thing is pretty big. (so my advice is don't put it in your pocket).
After that I thaught I'm so happy that I have an extra insurance on my phone. But my happiness was soon gone when I called the insurance company wich told me there was no record stating I had an insurance.
A lot of phonecalls later they said everything is gonna be allright and they will fix it (i told them I had evidence in my mail). So I decided to copy all my data from my broken Sony Xperia Z Ultra.
The Touchscreen is defective but it still powers on and android seems to be running fine. I had no problem with phonerecordings photos screenshots movies etc. Then I came to my notes/memos which took my whole day and I still haven't figured it out.
Here is the problem:
I can acces the internal memory from my phone but a lot of files and folders are not displayed including the databases which hold the memos at least thats what I think.
I have a Sony Xperia Z Ultra and c6833 model (European version I believe) it has stock firmware on it, its rooted and has SU on it. The Usb debugging mode is on. I'm using windows 7 ultimate and the normal (windows) file explorer (I don't think this is the problem). Show hidden files folders and drives is activated all the boxes that begin with hide are unchecked. When googling I stumbled on a lot of answers with folder options in windows. This is not the problem, the problem is that windows sees the internal memory as a device not as a driveletter. Therefore Windows hides these system files and folder options doesn't effect that (atleast thats how I understand it).
Since my device is rooted I know there most be a solution. An android expert answered that if your phone is rooted you can acces it without the touchscreen. Sadly he didn't post the solution for that. Here is the thread:
http://www.justanswer.com/android-devices/7a5nt-folders-starting-dot-s2-using.html
I've read about ADB but i'm not sure how this might help me I found some information about how to use ADB for flashing a new rom but ofcourse thats not what I want.
http://androidteen.com/setup-adb-and-fastboot-driver-with-android-sdk/
There are some topics right here on xda developers showing me the directory on where to find the memo database but I can't even see those folders:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24036872
(someone also suggested using Kies but I don't have a Samsung obviously)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534157
I also tried using PC Companion from Sony. Sadly I saw no option to copy memo's with the backup utility so I called Sony. They told me its not possible to copy notes after the spokeswomen asked a few colleagues there was also no other way of syncing notes with the pc she said. (remember that I can't install any apps or do anything on the phone since the touchscreen doesn't work not even marginally)
So I kinda ran out of options so the only thing left for me to do was to create a topic right here. Any detailed information on this matter would help tremendously (at least I hope). I really want to have those notes So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Man, you are very lucky that you had USB debugging enabled! Adb is indeed the way to go, if you know the directory you want then you need the PULL command:
http://eagle.phys.utk.edu/guidry/android/pushpull.html
If you're unsure of which directory or file it is, it's possible the below will work to copy off all apps and data although I'm not sure how it'll treat system apps:

Thank you so much for posting your reply. I've been very busy these days but I finally got to it.
I was able to get in to the Z ultra using the ADB method but sadly I had no succes.
I could see more then I could using windows explorer but the data folder was empty. I don't understand what went wrong because I'm sure my device is rooted (titanium backup worked very well and I had SU installed). Sadly I didn't make any recent backups with Titanium backup. I see more people that can't see there data folder on there device while its rooted so I guess I'm not the only one.
For other people this ADB method would work very well I guess.
Maybe its the way I rooted my device I don't know. (I used a Chinese programm then let Su take over root control)
Anyway thanks for the help. My device is beeing picked up tomorrow for repair so I'll just factory reset it.

Why make this so complicated with ADB? Use a file manager on your device like root explorer. Find the files, copy them to your SDcard partition in a new folder. Connect to your pc and copy/paste the files to your computer.

Bit late. But like superuser said find the files and copy them to your sd card. If you touchscreen doesn't work then you will need an otg cable and a mouse and control phone that way when touchscreen has gone.
