Hello everyone, I have a quick question. when I turn on my Nook, it says that there is an updated for my gapps and an update for my Rom...I'd really like to update them just so I have the newest version but it doesn't seem to be working. It downloads them, then when I go to launch them it resets the Nook. It goes to a screen with several options (I'm sure you know what I'm talking about) but when I try to install the latest ROM the folder is empty. Am I doing something wrong? Is there an easier way to get it updated? Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.
What are you using to download update? Are you using ROM manager or goo,PC?

I'm using Goo on my tablet to download the updates, then when it resets to actually install it, I think it's running the ROM manager.
boot in to recovery

IF your having a hard time with goo move the rom.zip and the gapps to the root of your sdcard . reboot into recovery and follow the rom instructions wipe whatever it tells you to (read first before wiping) then pick zip from sdcard first rom install then do it again with the gapps zip after that reboot you should be updated. Good luck!
OK, this is what happens. At the top of my screen it says there's an update for my gapps and rom. I download them. When I click on them from the top pull down menu, it starts the GOO manager. It says "select zip(s) to flash and whatever I have there to be updated. There's 2 options on the bottom on the screen that say "add zip from another location" or "order & flash selected". If I choose order and flash selected, at the bottom of the screen it says "wipe options" 1.wipe cache/dalvik chace partition 2.create back up (yes I have a back up program installed) and 3.wipe data (factory reset). then it says "flash". I hit flash and it wants me to confirm it.so I hit yes and my tablet reboots to "team win recovery project". If i go into install it takes me to a /emmc folder but there's nothing in there. That's when I gave up and came here...sorry if this is too much information, I just want to explain this the best way I can so I can get the tablet updated. Thanks again!

Thanks, I'll give that a try and see if it works for me. Am I supposed to wipe the card? That's the part I'm confused about the most is are the wiping options. Thanks again for the help.

The way you suggested doing it works (moving them to the root of the SD card), the only problem is, the GAPPs it wants me to use as an update isn't compatible with my version apparently so I had to reinstall the previous version. The ROM it wants me to update to is cm_acclaim_10.2.0-RCO_13OCT2013_HD_SDC.zip and I can't find it on the internet anywhere to download it. Any suggestions? Thanks again!
Edit: OK, I got it all figured out and updated. Thanks for the help!

I am new to rooting and I wanted to flash another ROM other than the stock one after rooting. I followed the steps given to root my TB and that was cake. Thanks for the simplicity. I am now looking to add the Virus ROM but not 100% confident in how to do this. There are several steps given for other devices but I have yet to see one for the TB. If someone could point me in the right direction or link me to the actual steps that would be appreciated.
Install Clockwork Recovery
Boot into CWR
Select "wipe data/factory reset"
Select "yes -- delete all data"
Go back using the softkey
Select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard"
Find and select your desired ROM
Reboot
Download the rom you want which will be store on your phones SD Card in Downloads then make a Backup of the rom you have now . Go into Rom Manager and select backup current Rom , you'll get a pop up were you can name the rom whatever you want , let it do it's thing , it will backup then restart the phone. When the phone restarts go into rom manager again and select Install Rom From SD Card , it will take you to your SD Card where you'll go into Download where the rom is stored , select the rom you downloaded you'll get a pop up which will ask if you want to wipe , check wipe and then ok . Let it do it's thing again when it down it will restart and ask you to set up you accounts just follow the steps . When everything is set up go in to the market and select My Apps you should see all your application downloading give them some time to download. Then it's all up to you to set up your home screens .
Don't forget to wipe the cache partition , and also select advanced and wipe dalvik cache. I would do all the steps listed above and these 2x, just to be on the safe side.
Where can I find those options?

I'm new to Android but have some experience with rooting on other types of devices. I'm looking at flashing this ROM with ROM Manager and the process above: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041514
I think I understand what's happening on the phone when I do this but wanted to make sure. Other than the usual disclaimers about risk of bricking, is there anything else I need to know?
just in case you didn't know how you hold volume down and the power button to get to hboot and then pick recovery from there. otherwise if you just want easy download rom manager from the market

Where can I find these options, and in what part of the flashing process should I do them?
Just a quick question, its really not necessary to wipe data and cache very time is it?
Ok. i followed the guide at the top of this forum to root my device. Everything seemed to work peachy. No errors, no nothing. I then attempted to use CWR to install Cyanogenmod 7.1. I used the guide on the Cyanogenmod wiki ***Link removed because of posting rules***
Because I rooted from here and installed CWR, I started at the part near the bottom.
Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Optional: Select backup and restore to create a backup of current installation on the Samsung Galaxy S II (AT&T).
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.
Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The Samsung Galaxy S II (AT&T) should now boot into CyanogenMod.

The problem i have though is that when my device boots, it goes to the Samsung Splash screen and sits there with a yellow exclamation point. Does nothing else.
i did boot back into CWR and run my backup, so my phone is back, but I'm still clueless as to what would cause this. Any help please.
you need to go into CWM...format system and cashe, factory reset/data wipe....then install CM7, try it like that it should work.....some people have said to flash the CM7zip twice!
I did just notice something. The Zip for Cyan is titled "Update-cm-7.1.0-Galaxys2ATT-signed.zip". Does that mean it's an update and not the full install?

Big thanks to you! I did the double install and it's working great (as far as I can tell). Thank you a ton!
Hi,
First of all I am a total noob in rooting Android. I have just bought a used Prime which has not the original software but the Cyanogenmod 9.
I would like to revert to original Asus software so as to have my google apps (play etc). Is this possible and if yes how?
thank you in advance

Check and see if you have clockworkmod folder on internal if that is there then check the backup folder and see if there is anything in there... Now I wouldn't suggest going back to the backup but you can download Virtuous rom which is close to stock and install it instead
If its just the Google apps you need then just flash a gapps package in clockwork mod, which is probably already installed if you have cm9
My problem is not only I lost all the Asus software (eg Polaris Office), but also he ability to install everything through the google play. My device is not recognized in the play web site and I have to install first the google apps!

thx for the reply first of all!
Is not possible to just download the firmwares from the Asus site and install them?
If yes how can I do this?
Flashing stock rom from asus will result in unrecoverable brick. However you can flash this if you want to get as close to stock as possible you can flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674827

Download this zip file(Almost stock) [dl dropbox com/u/27023946/AlmostStock_9.4.2.21.zip"] to your internal SD-card preferably in the Download folder.
Then go to your ClockWork Mod recovery or TWRP recovery. Wipe Dalvik cache and Factory Reset and then Install zip from SD-card. Choose the zip you placed in the download folder and click yes.
After a while you can Reboot to System. That's it! Good as new.
Hi,
thank you for all the replies.
I see u have suggested two roms:
1) AlmostStock_9.4.2.21.zip
2) AndroWook Prime Stock Rooted ICS 9.4.2.21
Any reason to prefer the one over the other?

So you're not stuck in a bootloop, but it boots recovery every time you restart? I can send you a .zip to flash that will get you out of the bootloop - can you push files to the internal sd card?
You bought this used? Whoever sold it to you really should have flashed gApps along with CM9, if you can't get it to work, I would contact him/her and ask to have it fixed if you can't do it yourself. That's a pretty bad way to sell a used product! Sorry, good luck.

any idea how to remove it from the t-mobile vivacity?
Sorry, I am new to all of this. I recently just rooted my t959 and it is running on 2.2. I've been looking for tuts on how to update to Slim Bean 4.1.2, but haven't found any. I also don't understand the OP instructions.
Upgrading Slim Bean
Unless we specify otherwise in changelog
Reboot to recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache then just flash your device zip. If you were with SlimBean 2.7 or newer you are done, all your addons will be backed up.
If you are on an earlier SlimBean version then 2.7 please flash also all the addons you need. Reboot.
From Froyo/GB Rom to SlimBean
Get yourself booted with cm9 or cm10. then follow the steps "From another JB or ICS ROM"
From another JB or ICS Rom to SlimBean
Download device_x.x.zip, slim_gapps.zip.
Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)
Flash Device_x.x.zip***, then MUST flash slim_gapps.zip (other files optional)
*** - If the flash is too quick ( < 5 seconds or so), reflash device before flashing common or other zip files.

Since SlimBean is based off CyanogenMod 9/10 and needs alot of the kernel/firmware flashes, you must flash CM 10 or 9 before flashign Slim Bean.
The easiest way to do this is through ClockworkMod Recovery and the easiest way to get ClockworkMod installed is through ROM Manager.
1. Download ROM Manager through Play Store
2. Open up ROM Manager and select the first option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
3. Download CyanogenMod 10 and the latest Slim Bean which should be version 2.8
4. Reboot into recovery through the option in ROM Manager
5. Clear data, cache, and Dalvik cache.
6. Install ZIP from SD Card > Choose ZIP from SD Card > Pick CyanogenMod 10 FIRST
7. Let it flash all the way through and then reboot your phone when you are back at the recovery menu
8. Boot into CyanogenMod 10 ROM and play around to make sure everything is working and good
9. Go into Play Store and install ROM Manager again
10. This time, just boot into recovery. No need to reflash ClockworkMod since you already have it.
11. Clear data, cache, and Dalvik cache.
12. Install ZIP from SD Card > Choose ZIP from SD Card > Pick SlimBeanT959 rom this time
13. Reboot into SlimBean to make sure everything works. If so, go back into recovery and flash the Slim Gapps and whatever else you may want to use.
Good luck and enjoy SlimBean.

oh, i read that too, but thought factory wipe is for resetting other stuff (like hardware settings and modes), and installing a new ROM automatically wipes the messages, contacts, apps, etc. thanks a lot

No... Installing a new ROM doesn't wipe apps automatically... You must do a factory reset to wipe apps...
It isn't required if you are upgrading the same ROM

Just so you know, "update from zip" will look for a zip named "update.zip" on your sdcard and then install it, an update.zip is typically just a patch that only contains changes and it isn't used very much anymore. If the zip is named something else then use "install zip from sdcard"

ooooooooh, didn't know that.
i thought of asking what the update from zip option actually does, but didn't wanna, coz i already asked a lot of noob questions and it doesnt matter much anyway.
but still, uncertainty sucks. so thanks for that tip man. :good:
