I flashed it, it booted into android fine but every time I selected start on the first setup screen it would reboot. Now I can't get into recovery, however I have a broken power button which might be causing complications. I'm working on getting back into recovery but this is an old phone so if I don't get it working, its no big deal.

Damn that is horrible. Power button doesn't work at all? Have you trye taking it apart and cleaning the contactors? What recovery do you have? Is there only one option? can you op to setup gapps later? You can always try using fastboot to get in there.

I have taken the phone apart but I still couldn't get the power button to work. Anyhow, I just got everything restored and I'm going to try flashing it again. :laugh:
Okay, I just flashed the rom this time. It boots into android but when I try to open any app, the phone reboots.

haha you have balls Ill give you that! Had me worried hate to brick someones device. Could you possibly logcat it? I think I need to change the tool chain compiling the kernel googles using 4.7 now and I'm not sure cyanogen is ready out of the box for it. Ill try with 4.6 tomorrow.

I cant get into settings to turn on usb debugging because the phone restarts every time I open settings. Is there any way to make a logcat in this situation?

See if you can download catlog and get the log that way for him.

I got a soft brick. Good thing I had a Jtag because I could not even get into download by button combination.

You may want to check and see if the i777 repo has even been updated to a useable state, as it had not been a few days ago when I last checked.
The kernel works but the ROM itself doesn't do much.

I have ported the CM 10.2 unofficial build pulled from GT-I9100 forum and I flashed it. All I can say is it worked fine but still is unstable..highly unstable. I used d default kernel and changed the modules and keypad script. It booted well and was fast. But phone heating issue and couple of FC's us what I encountered. And battery life issues.

Not sure what caused it. I had installed GAPPS with all the extras. Next time I try I will just install the ROM and the GAPPS core. Then the extra stuff one at a time. Believe me I started getting nervious when I could not get into download by button combo. I started breathing easy when I found my Jtag pluged it in and went rite to download on power up.

Anyone know why the rom was pulled?

TRIM would not be implemented on anything for our device. The SII version of CM10.2 and anything based off of CM10.2 trees would not contain TRIM.

I haven't made any calls but I sure hope I'm not having mic issues on 4.0 because voltage control is a really big deal to me and I don't want to upgrade.

Could someone explain why TRIM wouldn't be good for our devices?

I've had the same thing, doing pretty much nothing!
Fresh install, wiped everything, from system to memory card, plugged into USB transferring some files and BOOM, brick. Wipe again, reinstall, continue copying some files and brick again.
Needless to say I am sticking to 10.1 for a while longer.

Nook Tablet Recovery Flasher App [8/16GB] (CWM{or}Stock) [Internal]

Well guys, I decided to remake my thread for the new version of this app since it covers both 8gb and 16gb versions of the nook tablet.
--information:
THIS HAS NO TESTING! If something is broken, it's not my fault. Just report it in a non-urgent way and I'll fix it.
Well, I decided to release this app in a separate thread so I can keep track of the new version better. This one has been fixed up (still a visual CluserF*** but it's not supposed to be pretty, only get you an internal recovery up and running.)
Problems:
None with my app, however there are sure to be a few bugs on the recovery. Also: this flashes to internal, that's why I included a reset to stock button!
How to fix a borked install: CLICK ME CLICK ME FOR THE FIX!
(Note, you need superuser otherwise not a damn thing will happen!)
Download link:
here - md5 = 21ab80c09b678c2e9c93e0a2c70bbba2
*Note: Guys, I'm really having cashflow problems for a lot of things that I need to do (which is why I actually sold my nook) so I would like to ask for a bit of donations. Don't want to force you all to pay a couple bucks through market, etc. :/ Thanks.
- Other Note, you don't have to donate, would just appreciate it if you did.
Instructions:
Just click the button that has the recovery you want to flash. It's really simple. Screenshots, credit, and changelog will be posted in the next post.
Wait 10 seconds for the flash to finish then you can reboot if you want.
Please don't mirror
Changelog:
Code:
2.5: Cleaned up code a bit more and added cwm for 8gb + 16gb
2.0: Cleaned up the code, added better md5 checking now it won't flash without a good md5.
1.5.5: Fixed md5 hash checking
1.5: Added Reboot Recovery button
1.1: Fixed filename issue for stock recovery
1.0: Initial release.

Code:
megdh00t for the recovery

I clicked the thanks button, but also wanted to say thank you and mention that this will help many people who have flashed CWM for 16gb to the 8gb device and are not able to recover. Will Donate.

Thanks! Guys, expect an update with 1.4.2 recovery for stock later tonight. I just wanted to get the CWM build pushed out first so you atleast have something to use.
Good job, I'm sure this will help reduce some 8 GB bricks.

Has this been incorporated into the download file? Does it provide for selecting whether we want 1.4.0 or 1.4.2?
FYI, link is dead after goo.im went down.. Also, did you have a newer version with a newer recovery? I could only find an older APK (version 2.5) which flashes 5.0.2.8 - looks like the newest version is 5.5.0.4 from what I'm seeing...
The download link is dead ...
I haven't been able to find a rom that runs without random (and very frequent) reboots for me. I'm looking for a good way to go to back to stock, but I can't get anything going. Help please.

post this in Q&A, not here. also in nook tablet general i believe there was a guide how to get it to stock. and what rom were you using? all cm10 roms, and several cm9 roms will reboot occassionally, its a 3.x kernel issue. use chrmhoffmann's CM9 for one with no reboots, or you have to use cm7 (android 2.3)
Link is still down.
Just a thought why not pm the Dev instead of repeatedly posting in a thread he may or may not look at any time soon

Quick question... when I reboot into stock recovery I get this error with the picture of the tablet with an exclamation mark saying "Please restart your device again. If you encounter the same issue please contact customer support." Any ideas why?

When this came up for me, I couldn't get it to restart - wouldn't boot at all.
parted.img didn't work (unbrick method) - tried CWM SD card - no dice.
I had to take to to the B&N bookstore and they couldn't fix it either. I got an exchange.
Remove any SD, then hold power + N for 15 seconds.

I'll try that - next time it happens.
Too late now, though. I have a different Nook Tablet.
Funny - but the B&N tech person didn't suggest this.
By the way - this happened when I tried restoring with the parted.img brick fix. It didn't unbrick my nook (which was stuck going to CWM Recover - couldn't get past it).

SOS: Help a Noob stuck at Samsung screen upon attempt to root

Hello,
Could you pls help a noob with a rooting problem? I attempted to root my ICS AT&T Galaxy Note i-717 using Odin3 v 1.85 and a pda.tar file. Prior to that, I had checked and confirmed the USB drivers are installed (I have Kies software installed on the PC. However, folliwing the succesful flash of pda.tar I got the phone stuck at the Samsung screen. I could still get to the download screen. However, the phone would not go pass that screen. Can you pls tell me what I did wrong/guide me w simple steps on how to fix the phone and finish the root? I have the read many different root treads but I find them confusing. Treads are ponting at different files to be frashed/installed on the phone. Thanks very much.
This happens from time to time...don't worry.
Reboot phone in download mode, connect phone, reflash kernel.
A few things: use stock samsung cable. Use back of computer usb port. Reboot computer before you try again. Re download the kernel to be sure your file is not corrupted. Make sure phone battery is more than 80%.

Thanks very much. Where can I get the kernel from and which one/which file do I need to flash? Also, how do I flash it? Do I use Odin or another method? Again Thanks a lot!

Stuck at Samsung
I have the same issue tho have tried troubleshooting and could really use some extra help.
Updated to ATT stock ICS update a few months ago. Everything workin fine.
Wanted to root it so I could back everything up not to lose anything when moving to JB.
Rooted by flashing Da_G's pda.tar, reboot, and then flashed 2.3.3.0 TWRP
Noticed it was stuck at Samsung.
Here's where I'm kickin myself because I should have backed it up before all this, but I waited because I figured root doesn't wipe data!
Entered TWRP, backed up.
Now what I've tried to fix it... and failed
1. Reflashed pda.tar about 5 times
2. Found a stock pda "pda-odin-att-stock.tar", flashed (fixed) but it's stock setup and contacts and other google services don't work, lost homescreen icon placement and all other settings.
3. TWRP: Restore all = stuck at Samsung again
4. Repeat 2 and Restore only System
5. Repeat 2 and Restore only Data
6. Repeat 2 and flash pda.tar = boots, but same thing with it all stock, so I restore and it's stuck again.
It's my wife's phone and she has contacts that aren't saved in Google, to-do lists saved in app data files, and to be honest, she said everything better be exactly the same after updating (which I promised it would be since the plan was to root, backup, update, and restore), so I'm kinda trying to save my hide. PLEASE HELP me save my ass ha!
Other things to note: I just rooted a new phone about 30mins prior with the exact same root and TWRP files and it went very smooth, no issues.
Using a Samsung original cable on a laptop. Phone Battery was ~30% when I did all the steps, but since then read that battery should be higher so swapped out to fully charged battery and retried the steps.
Using the root kernel you did, basically flashed a Gingerbread kernel over an ICS rom. (Doesn't work)
Your best bet at this point, is too flash a rooted ICS build from bigfau ...(located in the super thread stock section)
Just flash using TWRP ....BUT !!!
make sure you wipe the dalvik cache, system cache, and system before flashing the rooted ICS build.
Once the rom is flashed, you will be stock and rooted.
Regarding data you have lost with no backup....start begging forgiveness now ....it's gone ....g

Wouldn't I be able to just flash an ICS Kernel to undo the GB kernel and set things straight? Or is the whole thing ruined already?
I have the data/app and data/data files. If all's really lost, I'll just put JB on it. If I copy the data/app and data/data files onto the new image will all the apps with their settings/data be restored at least?
Yes, flash the correct kernel.
I think what happened to me is the OS got deleted cuz once I flashed a rom I was good to go!

Imma ask this once and I promise im not gonna ever ask again. Is anyone working on the hdmi/samsung dock problem? Everything else is beautiful....these roms (all the stuff in the original threads) are the only ones that have bluetooth working with the motorola sd10 in both modes!
:good: AOKP rocks. Now if only I could get GPS, WIFI and BT to work at the same time... it would be a miracle!
I've been using this ROM for a few days now. Best 4.2 ROM hands down. Not sure what I will do with myself now that I don't have to flash every day .
Great job guys!!

First off, thank you for the wonderful rom. This was the first rom that I flashed and looks so much more wonderful than the stock.
Just had a question if everyone else has a gap between the top info bar and the next icons below that? It is about one 1x4 worth of space and wondering if there is a fix for this?
Thanks again for the rom!
Can you take a screenshot?

Did you install a custom recovery? If yes, boot to recovery is volume+ / home / power.
I don't believe so. It only shows the odin downloading mode when I use that 3 button combo.
I'm trying to start over, but don't know how to start over now. Is there a way I can install a boot to recovery from the flash rom that I just performed?

Volume UP not down in that combo. Plus if you're in the rom already just use the reboot menu?......

Yea, people told me the down volume, but finally read up even more and found that it was up volume. There are lots of directions out there, but I wish it was a little bit easier to do all this.
All these programming is much appreciated and simplified once all is read very carefully, but need to be a little more combined into one directory step by step. Not at all whining about the extent of how to root, flash, and recover, but for a newbie like myself, I had to open many many tabs to go about some of these steps.
I rooted my phone, got team wiz going, wiped data to factory, wiped dz also, installed [ROM][OFFICIAL][4.2.2] AOKP :: JB-MR1 :: i605, then installed the gapp. and now trying to see how to root this rom so I can access rom manager and titanium backup.

How to install CWM without USB

Hi Fellas.
I've got recently Galaxy s2.
It has old OS (2.3.5)
I would like to install CianogenMod10.2 or something similar.
The problem with this phone - It has completely broken usb socket. I charge the battery exernally.
I cannot use built-in bootloader, which works with Odin - because , again, usb is not working.
It also has some other bootloader (Powerup +Select button +volume UP) - which looks like CWM - but it's not CWM - because phone has stock firmware from Orange mobile company. This loader has even option to install zip from SD card - But when I try to install cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip ( latest cianogenmod) - it gives an error - that image is NOT SIGNED.
Is there anything I can do ?
Please advice

@junglemike - if u have a broken usb ...i seriously suggest u not to try cm10.2
if recovery doesnt works (like 2 nightlies before) u will be doomed.
I will check this out.
This is a boot loader that I have apart from stock recovery mode:
{
"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"
}
I'm not sure what it is.
Not sure if this helps.

Thanks.
I understand the risks, I could install stable CM 10 version, or some other stable version.
If only I could figure out hot to install CWM...

I have tried what you suggested:
I downloaded and tried to flash PhilZ touch 3.0.0 temporary flash (file: philz-touch_3.00_i9100-signed.zip)
But it gives me same error: cannot verify the signature.
What I am missing.
Some more questions, sorry if they are too basic
1) PhilZ-cwm6 - Safe Stock Based Kernel - there are many kernels. Which one to choose? This is kernel info of my phone, if it helps:
2) Suppose I succeed to flash PhiZ, why do you suggest to flash neatrom first? why not CM10 right away?
Dear @junglemike,
There is no Philz kernel for gingerbread. Nor will any temporary CWM work on GB!
The way I see it, messing with a phone having a bad USB port is like playing with fire. If something goes wrong, you will have to resort to flashing via Odin (which u can't).
So I suggest you repair the USB port (you can do it yourself too) first.

Yep. You're nuts messing with your phone with a busted USB port. If anything goes even slightly badly, and it does for almost everyone at some stage, you won't be fixing it.
I am starting to think that you are right.
By the way, friend gave me this phone, because he dropped it in a water, and USB never worked after that. I verified that it is not a bad contact issue. I checked with a tester that all 4 contacts are getting through to the motherboard. Probably some chip got burned when when that friend connected charger when phone was still wet.
I just wanted to upgrade because this jingerbread looks really ugly.
I guess I will stay with that anyway.
Is there any app to replace that ugly unlock screen at least? With something similar to jb4.2 ? I mean a enter point that you move from the. Enter to the right to unlock the phone

I've used widgetlocker before with success. Buy the app and then look on xda for widgetlocker themes, there's literally hundreds

why not update OTA?

General Root seems to be broken on December update / don't flash until it's solved

There is some talk in the P6 race to brick Telegram group, it seems that the december update is causing root to fail.
So until this is fixed/solved, DO NOT UPDATE IF YOU WANT TO RETAIN ROOT.

He is working for the enemy now, was only a matter of time for problems to arise since he already stopped supporting MagiskHide at the behest of Google^^
Maybe Magisk just needs an update, maybe we have a bigger problem, we'll see
Nah, he'll find root or another Magisk developer will.
Cant we flash a patched stock boot image after the problem is solved?
As OP stated, do not update to December if you want to keep root. I did before I checked forums and lost root. Rolling back to November to hopefully regain access to root.

Please report back if its possible to roll back
I don't see any update when I check for update on my Pixel 6.
Do I need to something to get the update? I ma not rooted and hence do not worry about rooting.

Tread carefully, someone tried dirty flashing which then required a clean flash.

Yup, dirty flashed failed and requiring a clean flash. Good learning experience and lesson for me, don't jump the gun with the newest updates.
Assumptions made when I flashed December update on 4A 5G without any problems... c'est la vie.

You'll likely have to use the Google reset to factory process to ever use the phone again. I haven't rooted my Pixel 6 yet, though, so I can't confirm. But that's how I fixed a bad Pixel 5 update.

Google Pixel - Update and Software Repair
Need a USB cable and Chrome (I think, never used a different browser for it).
Again, I can't confirm this works but it's just an educated guess

just try it, only work up to google 5
Okay, so for anyone else here who tries to root using the December patch and gets stuck on the Google logo screen, here are the steps I took to fix it:
1. Hold down the power button until the phone turns off
2. Enter fastboot via holding down the power button and volume down
3. Attach a usb cable to a computer, download the factory image zip, then extract it
4. Once extracted, double click on "flash-all.bat," this will reflash every single component of the image to your phone and once it's done, will reboot and should boot as if nothing ever happened.
