How to ADB recovery - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Hi,
I have a nook tablet, and while after I installed cm7 team-b rom, everything
worked fine until the device restart itself and didn't work again
I found this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513583
that has the solution to my problem, but I couldn't do it because of ADB
any help?

If you're having problem getting ADB setup to work, this method is probably not a good first-choice solution for you. I'd suggest flashing back to stock first using flash_stock_1.4.2.zip at https://github.com/succulent/acclaim_recovery_sdcard, or the repart.img at http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/.

thanks for your help but it didn't work
there is something wrong with the internal memory
every single time I enter CMW this appears:
E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/command/
E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/log/
E:Can't open / cache/recovery/log/
E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/last_log/
E:Can't open / cache/recovery/last_log/
that's why I asked for the ADB cuz it looks the only solution for my problem
I can make the rom work from the SD card but I can't install it on the internal memory

If you can boot into CWM on SD, I'd suggest that you "wipe /cache" (not /data) to see if that will take care of the /cache error diagnostics you encountered.
If you want to pursue the ADB route, see http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html as well as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970225.
You might also want to take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for background info on the NT emmc partition structure and cautionary notes on trying to unbricking the device.

Bricked Nook

Hi,
I decided that it was time to CWM my rooted Nook so I could install CM7 Alpha! I used Indirects App to Flash to Recovery, followed the steps carefully...used the "reboot into recovery" option and now the Nook boots into a white screen with a brown box - for about 5-10 secs, then to a black screen.
I create an SD card FAT 32 and added the CMW files to it in the hope I could boot to CWM using this method but it seems like the SD card is ignored completely and goes back to the blank screen. I also tried the acclaim.zip to restore to B&N defaults but it just ignores the SD card (2 different cards).
ADB doesn't work either, tried to re-run the original root script and it doesn't pick up the device.
I didn't do anything different to the instructions, not sure why this has happened....
Can anyone offer a little help?
Thanks
The white screen with brown box is normal, CWM not coming up isn't. Perhaps the file was corrupted during your download. I'd download the sd card files again and retry. Also, I recall something about potentially having to hold power and "n" button while booting in order for nook to boot from sd on some devices. Another alternative is to turn device off, insert sd, then plug nook in and allow it to turn on and boot.
I'm new here, and to android, so, if i'm wrong, hopefully someone will pop in and correct me.
Also, did you try looking at some of the "brick fix" threads in the development section?

Few questions....
Why are you wanting/trying to boot cwm from an sd card if you already flashed it to system using indirects app?
Secondly you CANNOT boot cwm using a fat32 formatted sd card didn't you root your tablet before? You have to write the image to the sd card using the tool for windows and/or linux explained here:

did you try booting from an sd card the proper way? Guess you can't do celtic's instructions since your device is not recognized :/

The Nook is notorious for not recognizing the SD card. Pop it out and put it back in. Then try your process again. Also there are multiple threads on support of CM7 and CWM on the site. Take the time to read through them as there is a wealth of information that will most likely walk you through any issue you may encounter.

If you don't have installed the drivers and adb files because you rooted using the sdcard method then download Drivers+adb.zip with the files you need to make adb work. Just Uncompress the zip, drop the ntroot folder within C:\, run the runmefirst.bat then install the drivers as AlbertWertz shows in his videos ( There is a video collection of his videos in my FAQ >> sticky in General section, post#2) then plug your device open cmd type cd C:\ntroot and you should be good to start using adb.

This is actually an extremely common issue it seems. Basically you're partition map has some how been damaged.
All you need to do is download the snowball mod and extract the 'Prated" binary from the bin directory and push it ot your device.
Go to your device and run the binary with the following ocmmand
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
It will most likely show up with an error and ask if you want to fix it. Just say yes and let it do its' thing.
After it completes, reboot your device and see if you still get the same errors, Attempt to install CM7 once more.
If it still doesn't work, run the parted command again then download Adams total wipe and run that. It'll reset your device back to total stock. The parted command will repair the partition table and adamoutlers software will upload all the required software to the correct places for it all to work
Hope that helps!
If you get stuck feel free to give me a shout
****EDIT****
Just realised you can't get into adb, does the device show if you type adb devices?

[Q] Can I Save My Nook (if possible)

First off I want to say thanks to all the Devs on this site and those who contribute. Secondly I'm pretty computer Savvy and I have no clue what I've done.
So I had Cm7 running on the nook for about 2 months some where along the line my girl did something and it died. I then used albertcwertz repart.img. I then rooted and reflashed Cm7 all is fine. Until the next day the nook just wigged out and wouldnt turn or go into cw recovery.
So I tried the repart.img again but now it says installing software and a red X in upper right had corner then says powering off device in 5 secs and then nothing.
Next I tried the ubuntu sd card and it never got pass the MLO part of the wipe.
So now I'm trying to wipe everything manually through a VM Ubuntu but I cant mount the Sd card and it says
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

CWM bootloop?

So I did search and found a couple of threads relating to all sorts of deleted things. I know exactly what happened: My nephew clicked the "Erase sd" under the internal memory from Settings>Storage in android. He told me that much.
When I turn on my nook, it shows a white screen with a cardboard box--then it boots into CWM.
When I try to restore an old backup or install a new rom, I see:
E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/command/

E:Can't open / cache/recovery/log/
E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/last_log/

Since I know that's what messed it up, what would be the easiest option to fix it? do I only have to repartition the cache section?

Have u tried wiping the data and cache? I will not be held responsible if you try that and brick it even more lol
Sent from my VS920 4G using xda premium
From CWM? Yes I have. I tried installing the rom before wiping however, and after. I get an error while even trying to wipe data/cache though. Was wondering if I should just jump straight to he ubuntu flash method and then just...re-root or something.
I recommend making a bootable Ubuntu -or- Mint linux CD disk. Then use it to have a look at the partitions. Yes, your guess about the partitions being messed up is most likely correct.
Well, I think we have the same problem, mine is described here. Can you boot from SD card? I can't. I suspect the file system to be corrupted as well. The question is, how on earth to fix it?

You need to format your sd card to use
First connect the sd card to the computer and copy the files
Then format sd card to fat or ext4 or ntfs (not sure which one is supported on your device)
After formatting, copy only the required files into the sd card and then try to access recovery.
And then try to install a zip.
If you still don't get, then try to change recovery and use some other custom recovery and try to flash again.
Press thanks if I have helped.
PM me if you don't get it working properly.

That custom rom is the problem. I can guarantee it.
If you have the image of the stock rom, you have more chances of accessing your tablet.
I think you can use ADB. I personally never used ADB before. So you can search on Google and Xda on how to use it.
