[Q] CM7 Upgrade help - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I have been using CM7 for quite a while now and recently it this week I have been unable to add apps or even update the ones i had. I would like to move on to a newer version one perhaps a little more stable than the rom i have been using as this one was a fairly early version. I tried the raywaldo reset to stock using a repart cart and it will not boot off the card. It always loads the Team-b CM 7 boot process. I can get to CWM via the reboot option. Is there a reason the repart.img isnt loading? WTF am I doing wrong here???

Check your SD card space. If it is none, get a new one and it should work. You need an SD card to download anything.

I have a 4gb and a 32gb card tried both.

Burn the repart.img to the 4GB card, pop it in the Tablet (powered up), insert the charger cable, connected to the charger and hopefully the repart will start.

From what i read in the noob section isnt it best to return to stock before trying to move onto another rom?

The process of flashing a custom ROM does not need/use any component of the stock ROM, and a custom ROM replaces the stock ROM in its entirety on the NT active partitions, hence there is no benefit in returning to stock prior to flashing a custom ROM; see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for some more background info.

Nook Tablet 16GB keeps booting into ClockworkMod. Please help.

I’m not really sure how this happened but I had my Nook Tablet booting CyanogenMod from its internal storage but now it will to only boot into ClockworkMod. Last time I had a problem with the Nook booting I followed the instructions I found on this webpage
raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/
but now this method is not working. After the Nook displays the screen that says “Please do not turn off your device, installing new software” it turns off and then I have to turn it back on again by pressing the power button. The Nook just goes right back into ClockworkMod. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to return my Nook to factory default software from this state or at least get CyanogenMod back?

Were you on stock OS? Custom rom? Custom kernel? Rooted stock? Cyanoboot? 8GB or 16GB model?
Cyanoboot and my Nook is the 16GB model.

Sorry, I thought Cyanoboot was the rom.
In the about tabler screen it says CyangenMod-7.2.0-RC-acclaim-Team-B for Mod version. Is this the rom?
Yes, you are on cm7. I thought you said you could only boot into clockwork mod?
Cyanoboot is a custom bootloader.
I made a bootable SD card to use for now since I can no longer boot from the Nook internal memory. I would like to be able to use the Nook without having to run off the card.

Okay well whatever you're booting off the sdcard for a rom really isn't applicable to fixing the internal memory.
Have you tried flashing a rom from the internal memory?
CM7 is what I had on the internal memory before this boot loader issue.
Since it's booting into clockwork mod, I tried installing some roms I downloaded and back ups I made from a 8GB Nook stock rom but they won't install. Says install aborted.

If I read this right, it sounds like you tried to restore backups from an 8GB model even though you have a 16gb model? I don't think thats what caused your issue or anything, but I'd just like to note that trying to flash roms/restore backups from different devices is a bad bad idea. The 8GB and 16GB models are, for all intents and purposes, different devices.
Now to address your problem. The fact that you can boot from sdcard is great. And with that knowledge, I would recommend using this method to reformat/reset your nook, allowing you to start over.
I tried to do the flashing of the 8GB back up rom to the 16GB after I had the problem so no, that is not what cause the issue. Thank you for the link I am downloading AdamOutlerUbuntuTotalReFlash.tar now and will let you know how it turns out.

Gotta read the threads man. This is how people end up in sticky situations. Read through the thread; I'm fairly certain the 16GB version was smaller than 1.5GB. I could be wrong but the context in which that mirror was posted seemed as if someone was mirroring the 8GB version that was in development.
Is this the 16GB gig one then?

Yeah, looking at the torrent version, it looks like the original file was 1.41GB. The 8GB beta version that never was finished is 1.5GB. Don't use it.

If you get the red x during the repart it's usually a sign one of the internal partitions could be messed up. Not always the case though. Maybe it's the version you were flashing.
Did you try changing the internal partitions in any way? During the process of SD boot did you use the zip file that had SD boot setup?

i'll be honest, it used to be a device for develop only... it got messed up somehow and i got it like that... i really dont know what they have done to it..

Well if all you care about is android jelly bean just use and SD image.

Its simple to use, just write the image to an SD card and you're good.
Stock bn sucks, a lot in my opinion. I expected so much more when I bought it. Reason why I run an SD image. If you want nook books just download the app from Google play.

[Q] Paranoid ROMs and others

I love the feature set in a lot of the custom ROMs but for the life of me I can't get them to recognize my SANDisk
64gb Micro SD card. I have tried NTFS and FAT32 and PA can't see either one. My PC can read either just fine.
When I go over to most of the 4.1.2 builds they read my card just fine as well. Looking for a 4.2.2 that works or
4.3...can't find one that works with this SD. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Can you access the SD card in recovery?

No I can not.
I really don't know how to advise you then. Your custom recovery should be outside your OS version. I had the same type of problem when I moved from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. I ended up accidentally solving the problem by installing an updated version of PA. However, I never had an issue managing my SD card with TWRP or CWM. Have you made sure that your custom recovery of choice has been updated to the latest and greatest before flashing 4.2.2 ROMs?
I recently read something that said that the ability to read different file systems for SD cards was
based upon the kernel and not the ROM...not sure that makes sense to me now as I just installed
Devil Kernel, AllianceV6 ROM, and I am running TWRP version 2.6.0.1. I can read the card on my
PC, and under the ROM but TWRP refuses to mount it. Seems to vary what wants to read my FAT32
card and what does not. Oh well. May post over on TWRP. Thanks all.

I was reading in the paranoid thread that you had to format the car to the proper either ex-fat or something like that you should look back five to ten pages in the paranoid thread they explained. It is only an issue with 64GB cards

Kernels...

Okay, so as a new Android user, I've so far experienced my first phone, annoying stock apps/ROMs, the joys and hazards of rooting and installing custom ROMs, and experimenting with advanced settings and utilities.
Now, I think, I am ready for kernels.
I bought an OTG cable, and I cannot get my exFAT drive to show up. My coworker says it's because I have a stock kernel.
Does anyone know what kernel I need?
I'm using a VZW GS4 with CM 10.1 RC2 rooted.
Also, providing me with links where I can learn this ish would be awesome. Thanks!

I couldn't get CM recovery to recognize my 64gb exfat card. Id'ld goomanager from playstore & used it to install TWRP which recognized my card, no problem. Nandroid backup & then flashed Hyperdrive. Happy as a Skylark!

Personally I would just recommend re-formatting your card to Fat32 as it's super easy (literally takes like 60 seconds), and you won't run into any problems where your phone won't read it.
Here is a reasonably easy guide on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773735
Otherwise you need a kernel that will recognize Exfat, which now there are alot more than there used to be due to the source code being released.
Out of all the custom kernels for the S4 I would recommend KT747 most highly. It is without doubt the most popular kernel for the S4 and has enough features to keep you busy for weeks. Plus it's always being updated. If you do not want to reformat your card to Fat32 this kernel will read it. Here is the thread for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294083
I would highly highly recommend installing TWRP recovery instead of CWMR as it's much easier to use and just a better recovery in my opinion. It doesn't have a problem with Exfat either. To install it just download the app Goomanager from the play store. Open it, grant it root privileges , then hit menu, then "installopenrecoveryscript" it will automatically install TWRP recovery over CWMR.
Good luck.

A strange thing about cwm recognizing exfat is that when I re-loki'd cwm 6.0.3.2 touch and made my own flashable zip it finally recognized my exfat card and allowed me to make back ups, etc. I don't remember if I made any other changes or not, I made a lot of flashable recoveries yesterday (see here ) also I cant get it to work on any other version of cwm. Im on stock mdk kernel.

Like I said, your best bet is to just reformat your card to fat32 and then you don't have to worry about it, and you won't need a custom kernel or different recovery just to be able to use the card. In that link I gave there is basically a one click tool to reformat to fat32. It's incredibly easy.

Guys,
This isn't an internal SD card. I bought on OTG cable. I have a thumbdrive I want to move files between on and off my phone with (Basically a music and movie repository).
I cannot get the drive to mount on my phone. I was told it's because of the kernel. It's currently formatted exFAT.

No I use twrp so Im good. I was just stating that ive got exfat to mount using cwm using the stock kernel recently, but I thought op was talking about an external sd. Plus I dont want to have to transfer everything to my pc to reformat for no reason/benefit.

Hey, nevermind, I figured it out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588979
Out of curiosity, how did you get it working? That thread states in the beginning that the USB storage doesn't work..? I had been under the impression that these (high-end Samsung) devices had OTG enabled since I have been explicitly testing for this due to some developments I'm working on...

Flashed CM11 (or any AOSP rom) and my sd card contents won't show up!

I am unlocked, rooted, and s-off. I've been flashing back and forth between Sense Roms and everything has been working fine.
Last night, I decided to play around with AOSP Roms. I flashed 2, and either one won't show my SD Card contents in the Rom (or when I connect the phone via cable to my laptop.)
But here's the tricky part, when I flash another Sense Rom, everything is there!
So obviously something is going on. Any ideas what?
My guess is something to do with the way it's formatted (ExFat vs FAT32) but, honestly, I have no idea. Any help??
I've had that happen I don't think it the different rom. Although sometimes I half to reflash to my phone..
Have you tried sideload?

The same thing happens with the usb mounting, the files are still in /media/sdcard/ and your usb is mounted to /media/sdcard/0.
