Installing custom roms
1. Download the custom rom you want and place it on you phone. (Preferred on external SD card)
2. To install custom roms you have to go into CWM (clock work mod). you can enter CWM by going into terminal and type "su" and then "reboot recovery" OR turn your device off, then press volume"-" + Hotkey + power button until it vibrates and shows LG logo then release only power button and keep pressing both of the others for about 8 seconds then release.
3. While you are in CWM you can navigate with the + and - volume buttons and the power button is enter.
4. Before you install any new rom, wipe everything from your phone by going to "mounts and storage menu" --> format /cache, /data and /media, /system, /sdcard, then wipe the dalvik cache under the advanced tab. If you don't do this you can get problems!
So now you can select your customrom.zip and press the power button, your rom will now install. after it is installed you can reboot your phone and if you did everything right your phone should boot into your new rom, the first boot can take a long time sometimes.

I Rooted and installed android version of Albert Wertz. Everything went fine until i installed the chainfire 3d pro inorder to unroot and factory reset the NT. It flashes the n symbol 8 times and goes to recovery mode.
So what i did yesterday was to wipe data, advanced dalvik cache and formated the system only and then used sd card to install NT16GBV46.IMG( Albert ). Now it just takes me to the white screen with "N READ FOREVER" and it doesnt do anything after that. It also lets me go to CWM recovery mode. It not doing the 8 times flashy thing before it goes to recovery mode due to chainfire 3d pro apk file. Does any one has any ideas what do i have to do next for NT to work normally.
* * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * *
I even tried "[UnBrick]TOTAL WIPE and reflash back to 1.4.0 via Ubuntu Recovery"
for some the screen stayed dark for a while and stuck on the same "n" screen with white background with read "forever sign" barnes and nobles. I dont know what i am doing wrong.
Is there anyone who can help me with that?
Happened to me too.. I think I forced it to get failed reboots 8 times..when the nook is powered off press and hold power button + n button.. it will start up and power down in around 5 seconds.. do this 8 times.. on the 9th time let it power up.. it will flash to stock...
When u r restarting 8 times does your NT shows brown box along with the reboot.
No if that happens it means its booting into recovery.. if you can access that then you can install cm7 by downloading the zip file.
What i did was press and hold power + 'n' button and keep it pressed till it powered off.. then repeat it 7 more times and then power up normally. I am aware there is a method of resetting to factory w/o 8 failed reboots but even that method didn't stop bootloop for me
Oh also try combination of power+vol up+n button. Check this thread, this is what worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367496
I tried installing cm from NT16GBV46.IMG( Albert ). I used volume buttons for reboot 8 times. When I power on NT 9 time it takes me to recover mode then when I reboot it takes me to same n screen. Is there another way??!
Cleared all delvik, data and formatted system and used Team -b version of cynogenmod 7 . Rebooted the nook tablet and it finally did. Thanks everyone.

FAQ
Q1] I'm facing White Screen during recovery!
> This is because you are on an older firmware version. You should download a firmware later than S7262XXUAND5.
Recommended firmware version: S7262XXUANF1
Remember. Flash only if u have white screen recovery problem. Otherwise you don't need to.
Steps to flash firmware:
1] Download the firmware
2] Extract the .zip file with Winrar
3] You will get a .tar.md5 file
4] Follow Steps 4 to 16 mentioned above. But you will flash the (firmware name).tar.md5 instead of recovery.tar.md5
5] After this, flash the recovery by the procedure mentioned above.
6] Your recovery should now work

I also have the same firmware and this method is working perfectly for me. I think I know what you are doing wrong, first you have to press the power button and then immediately press volume up + home button, when you see the S7262 logo, leave the power button but keep holding volume up + home button until you see the recovery. :good:
Thanks for the recovery.
Verified Working
I have completed this root method and verified it works using the S7262XXUANJ1 stock ROM. Doing everything as stated, it works perfectly - no white screen, no soft brick or malfunctions. :highfive:
EDIT: After the final startup I had to update SuperSU via Google Play.

There has been a lot of changes and fixes. You can look at them here https://twrp.me/ . I would always recommend using the latest version.
Having a bit of trouble with the drivers I believe, I keep getting device unrecognized in Windows, tried two different machines, same issue. Any idea what is wrong?
I am getting the same when in recovery mode and in normal Android OS.
I am not getting the popup that says Use USB to transfer files etc, it just says slow charging.

I have installed the ones linked at the top of this post. Is that the reason why is happening?
Is it not strange that when I am not in recovery and just booted to normal android and try to connect to my PC it also happens?
Hooked up my Samsung phone and Odin picked it up instantly - thinking the usb port on the table is gone and is only charging now. If that happened there is no way to TWRP without it right?
I'll look for those drivers thanks.

Try these drivers and let me now if they fix your problem.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fjPf4m7XXmj2qIj4IO9_AO4LYYZfZnfG
Also you can try cleaning your usb port with a small piece of plastic or a pin. They can get packed with dirt sometimes. Also try a different cable.
Tried them too but it looks like the usb port is damaged and needs replacing
Got my usb port fixed, OEM unlock in dev mode, ran odin along with the twrp-3.3.1-1-gtaxlwifi.img.tar file but it doesn't seem to work. Tried twice and this is what I get after powering on with Power + Home + Up Volume which seems like the default bootloader?
Odin completed ok too. Any idea why it won't take?

It probably is taking but getting immediately overwritten because you are allowing it to reboot into the system. When you flash TWRP with Odin, you need to click Option and uncheck the auto reboot. Then, after flashing, hold the Home, Vol down and Power buttons until the screen goes black. Then, VERY quickly switch from Vol down to Vol up until the Samsung logo screen appears. Then release the Power button while still holding Vol up and Home and the tablet will boot into TWRP. After that, you can reboot system and TWRP will remain as the recovery app.
Yup that did the trick, thanks
How can I make a full backup of stock OS using TWRP? Is it safe to restore from that backup in the future if needed?

You can't. The data partition is encrypted and TWRP can't handle it.

There are backup apks in Play Store. You just can't use TWRP. Typically, people install TWRP because they want to root and use custom ROMs. Before using TWRP to flash custom ROMs, you must first format the data partition to get rid of the encryption. But that erases EVERYTHING on it. Including any saved video, audio, pictures or apps. Even Google apps. But remember, by installing TWRP, you have already tripped knox, so you won't be getting any further updates from Samsung.
If you really want a stock ROM that you can backup with TWRP, it might be possible to format the data partition and then flash the stock opengapps for the version of stock ROM, probably ARM 32bit 8.1. But I don't know of anyone whose tried it. Of course, you need to backup any data you want to save and reinstall any Play Store or sideloaded apks you are using.
Plan is to try a couple of custom ROMs and if any issues go back to one of these: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-a/firmware/SM-T580/ that shouldn't be a problem right?
Also I have wiped data which cleared everything and then when I tried to go wipe dalvik/system/data/cache in preparation for LineageOS, but it keeps failing because of /data, still encrypted after the initial format?
Why does it not work?

Did you choose the format Data option in the wipe screen? You should have typed yes to confirm.
Got it sorted in the end, the problem was I had booted to the OS after wiping that instead of just installing the zip which solved it, thx
So glad I was directed to this forum thx @srgrusso. I flashed the official version of TWRP using the TWRP app from the app store and it work just like it was supposed to. Thank for suggesting I give it a try. I will be using it go forward, to verify, backup and update my TWRP from the official web site. Thanks again for all you do for the T580 device, you have breath new life and interest into this device for me. I love playing around with now.
