I have a NT 16 gb from stock with my smartphone usb cable but not the charger.
I connect the usb cable to an international adapter via its usb port so I think I get 1.6A: and judging by how fast I charge the NT, I would say it is right.
I want cm10.2 or cm11 [preferably of course] but I cannot install cwm.
I cannot get usb debugging on by downloading an apk and lunching it: I must choose between the app installer or the package installer and then get the error: only from NB we can install apk's, great.
I have 1micro sdhc class 4 of 4gb and one class4 16gb, none of them permits to boot up which incredibly sucks, idk why.
I configure them with minitool, 300mb space, and my put img of cwm 6.0.4.6.
Every time I end up with the reset factory choice from NB after I perform pwr+home then power alone; whether I connect the nt to the power adapter or not.
When I connect the nt to windows, it is seen only as a drive.
ADB does not recognize the device of course.
Is there a way to install CM ? without a bootable SD ?
This is unbelievably frustrating and since I am a complete noob to android and all that, pls level with me
this guide is quite helpful: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_acclaim
if i were you i'd throw the ROM and Gapps that you want on the internal storage if you can get into USB mode, then look at this and use this guide to flash CM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21895025&postcount=14
yeah it says how to root stock firmware but it's the same process, just different zip files.
yes I have seen the wiki and I am stuck at Boot to recovery mode since my nook always shows the BN recovery:
from your second link, it is this line
You will see a picture of N on the screen followed by a box with a white background followed by CWM booting up.
CWM does not boot. Is it possible that the problem is from the SD cards ?
I tested a sandisk 32gb class10, it still shows the factory reset screen
Regarding the USB mode, the NT says I must install the apks from BN only, so I do not not know how to active it.
i'm assuming you know how to connect the tablet to a computer... try that.

Have you tried the method outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51377882&postcount=163?
Note that many NT will boot off SD only from power-off state and upon insertion of a powered USB cable (regular mini-USB cable connected to PC or powered USB Hub should work fine).
Success CM11 is installed \0/; My partition was of type 0b not 0c...
I do have a problem now when I plug in the tablet on windows xp sp3: windows cannot find the drivers with or without debugging on.
Is it possible to see the device as a storage space in general and also being recognized by adb when debugging is on {i believe it is how this work, is it not ?} ?

By default the NT should automatically show up as an MTP device when plugged in via USB.
You only need to enable USB debugging when using adb access over USB.

Well, via a software, I removed all the usb drivers connected to an android tablet. Then, the first time I plug in the NT, I have an OMAP443 install [for I do have these drivers] and windows then searches for the "BN NT" but cannot find the drivers. It's quite puzzling.
For the MTP, as far as I understand, I must install windows mediaplayer 11, is there not an alternative >?

Hello! I just rooted my Eris yesterday and when I plug my phone into my computer it doesn’t come up on my phone and ask me how I want to dock it (it is checked to ask on the phone itself) . When I first plugged it in and it tried to install the drivers it failed. Over at developer.android.com where I got and installed SDK it said to use pda.net to install drivers, which I did. So now my computer recognizes the phone and I can push apps over however the phone still will not give me the option to mount as a drive. Is there anyway I can make it mount so I can browse files in file explorer. Thank you in advance.
i'm assuming you are on a Windows PC...
firstly, are you able to mount as storage in Recovery?
also, not sure about the pdanet method (never used it)... but i know that if you install HTC Sync it should work fine (link below).

Sorry, yes. Windows Vista 32bit
To be honest, I'm not sure what I did but it works now. I plugged it into my laptop to charge and it wanted to mount with no problems. I Just tried it on my PC and it also worked. Even worked with the same usb cord I used last night so that rules out a cord problem
Thanks though. I didn't even think about trying it in recovery mode. If it happens again I will see where that gets me
Hey.

If you are on Windows: Samsung drivers installed?
Did you try different USB port?
Is USB debugging enabled? Settings->Applications->Development
What are the USB settings on the phone? Settings->Applications->USB settings
Mass storage mode doesn't work for me on Win 7 x64 I just use the media player setting and it works the same way as mass storage should.
It works for me just fine. One time it did do the flickering USB icon thing, but that turned out to be because the cable that I was using was going bad. It sounds like this may be what's going on in your case?
I clipped this from a post I made a few months ago...

For those of you having a problem with Windows 7 recognizing your Vibrant ... here is how I fixed it on my system.
*Note: You do not need to load any special USB drivers for your phone to be recognized in Mass Storage mode in Windows 7.
*Warning: You follow these instructions at your own risk ... no screaming at me if you try it and something gets screwed up!
1) Navigate your way into the Device Manager / Universal Serial Bus Controller
2) Uninstall the device(s) "USB Root Hub" (My system had 2 listed)
3) You will lose mouse and keyboard control (because you just removed the USB Hubs)
4) Reset your PC and allow Windows to boot normally.
5) Go back to the device manager and wait for all of the "!" marks to go away as windows re-installs the USB Hubs and reinitializes all of your devices.
6) Make sure your Vibrant is in mass storage mode and has USB debugging OFF
7) Plug in your Vibrant via the USB cable and be amazed as windows recognizes your device and assigns the drive letters. After you select the mount option on your phone you will have normal access via windows explorer.
Hope this helps some of you out there !!!

Thanks for that I tried, but I still cant get anything to work!!
So frustrating.....whats wrong with this?
My device isn't recognized by my computer. Is the tablet supposed to prompt me to enable USB storage when it's plugged into a computer?
Nope...For me it just shows up in my computer..a new window doesnt pop up like it regularly does for new items inserted.
win xp didn't worked for me either - win 7 worked without any problems
I guess I'm not clear. When I had a rooted NOOKcolor (replaced stock ROM with a Gingerbread one), on the device itself would be a prompt to enable USB storage when it was plugged into a computer. This would appear in the notification bar at the bottom. Once I clicked yes/ok on the device, only then would it appear on my computer as a storage device. This doesn't happen with the Sony. I'm using a Mac.
So, those with a computer that recognizes the device, are you prompted on the tablet to enable USB storage or does it simply appear on your computer as a storage device with no prompting? Again, I'm not referring to your computer prompting you to do anything. I don't have another Honeycomb tablet to answer my own question. Thanks.
Honeycomb doesn't support USB mass storage. It uses MTP instead so things may work
a bit different than you expect. If you're on a Mac you need to download the Android file transfer program from google.

Thanks so much for the quick reply! Now I can stop scratching my head in bewilderment. Now I recall reading about Android file transfer program. I think I downloaded it months ago.
Yep, just checked my Downloads folder. It's been sitting here, never installed.
Hello All,
Years ago, I installed CyanogenMod 10.1. The TP works OK. Here's the info:
- Android version: 4.2.2
- Kernel version: 2.6.35-cyanogenmod [email protected] #1 Tue Dec 10 17:10:10 CST 2013
- CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l)
- CyanogenMod version: 10.1-20131210-SNAPSHOT-VPN-tenderloin
- Build date: Tue Dec 10 17:05:54 CST 2013
- Build number: cm_tenderloin-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39E 8d5ffaac34 test-keys
From what I know, external USB can be connected to HP TP via OTG cable and external power. So in an effort to use this HP TP (which has been collecting dust) as a digital frame, I follow this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc7tlPwFQpg&t=198s
The guy has links to buy OTG cable and Y adapter:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QX7KYU/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041CFFBM/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
So I bought (2) OTG cables and (2) Y adapters from the above links.
The power adapter I use is a working 2A one (brand name: Amazon). I formatted the USB thumb drive. Then loaded a few jpeg files to the thumb drive.
When I followed the above Youtube video to plug the USB drive, the app 'ES Explorer' does recognize the USB drive but it shows 'Empty folder'. I changed out OTG and Y cables but still the same: the HP Touchpad won't recognize the jpeg files on the thumb drive.
Please tell me what I did wrong and show me how to fix it.
I'm open to two solutions:
1) Open the HP TP up and solder a SD/micro SD module (I'm a circuit technician and have no problems doing that).
2) Wipe out the HP TP and install another Android version newer and/or capable of reading external thumb drives (I hate wasting a nostalgic HP TP).
Thank you very much for your help.

This is the OTG cable that I use and another one that could not find on line:
Click HERE for 4 Port Micro USB
I had use it with a 16GB USB drive on Evervolv 7.1.2 for curiosity to see how it works and I was very impress with the speed. I was able to play movies from the USB drive and at the same time also connected an USB Ethernet ( I had to incorporate the driver into the kernel ).
It is possible to have more than one USB device connected at same time, like USB drive, Keyboard, mouse and wire Ethernet. The tablet is like a laptop with connections by wire.
If ES Explore recognize the USB drive then the OTG cables is good, but you need another software to be able to read the files. I tried it Total Commander and there was another software to mount the partition, I think it was Paragon:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.tcplugins_ntfs_ro&hl=en_US
Install that to mount the USB drive and then the files should be available in ES Explore if not then try Total Commander and use the plug in for it.
Thanks but unfortunately none of those work because those methods only work for at least Android 4.4. Please let me know how to 1) wipe the TP and 2) find a stable and newer Android OS / CyanogenMod to install on the TP which will only be used as a digital frame and not anything else (no internet browsing, games, etc.).
All I see is this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad/development/rom-evervolv-hp-touchpad-t3923512
or
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad/development/rom-evervolv-7-0-0p1-wifi-t3456292
but both don't have step by step installation guides.
Thanks @HP_TOUCHPAD

There is a lot to read, but very simple, flash Automatic_Wipe_ALL and it does everything.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad/general/hp-touchpad-optimize-android-swap-t3901773
The Tablet can read and write up to FOUR USB drive connected at the same time, attached are screenshots using Evervolv 7.1.2 with Total Commander and the plug in for the USB.
https://www.ghisler.com/android.htm
USB drive tested: 16G SandDisk, 16G Lexar, 8G Patriot
All three USB can be connected at the same time and be access using total commander file manager.
Also I plug in the MicroUSB Ethernet and works with the USB connected.

Thanks. I downloaded 'TWRP Recovery Version 3.2' to my computer, unzip and copy the files to the HP TP root directory. Unplug the TP from computer. Turn off the TP completely then boot it up again. No recovery menu to choose other than WebOS Recovery and some other menu options unrelated to automatic wipe out. So I'm stuck there.
Can I use this one instead?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP-FH6fS2GI
He basically shows step by step how to uninstall everything by plugging the TP to a computer which already has Nova installed.
Part 2: Let's say everything is wiped out, which android version would you recommend given my simple use of the TP? This is Android Pie 9.0 on Youtube (same instructor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAuNSoe6euI
Thanks again.

TWRP 3.2.1 needs to be flash using another recovery, if the uImage.Recovery is copy into boot then the file moboot.default needs to be edited and add uImage.Recovery to show in the moboot menu. It is best to flash it as it will create the entry for moboot menu. But now there is a copy there and the /boot maybe full and it needs to be clean.

So I created a bootable USB drive having 'HP_Touchpad_Novacom_Repair_Android'. Change my laptop boot priority to USB and used 'unetbootin-windows-677' to 'Wipe All' the Android version. After that, every time the HP TP is booted, only a moboot 0.3.8 menu appears with these options:
- boot Recovery
- boot webOS recovery
- reboot
- shutdown
Now, I have downloaded these zip files:
- ev_tenderloin-7.1.2-nightly-2017.11.03
- HpTp_MaXtreme_1674_CPU_Universal_Optimize_Swap_Evervolv_7_1_2_Nougat
- open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20200520
I need to copy these zip files to the tablet but I don't know how: Turn the tablet on and select 'boot webOS recovery' and the white USB logo appears. Then connect the tablet to a laptop with Windows 10 running Then a message pops up 'We're setting up Palm device'. I open Windows Explorer to copy the zip files to the tablet but there's no 'Palm' folder (before Android was wiped out, I do see 'Palm' folder in Windows Explorer). Can you tell me how to copy the zip files to the table then? Should I copy those zip files to the bootable usb thumb drive then run unetbootin-windows-677 on the laptopn and copy the zip files over to the tablet?

WebOS Recovery is only use to repair the Tablet ( troubleshooting )
Recovery TWRP is the App that is use to flash any ROM.
Boot into TWRP connect the Tablet to any PC, Micro SD will show ( is like a portable USB storage ) It works on any PC there is no need to have the novacom drivers install.
Copy all the zip files to the Micro SD card or USB ( it has different names )
Go to TWRP on the Tablet and select the zip files to flash, when done reboot.
It is very simple the only thing to do is select and flash that is it.
Here are some youtube videos about HP Touchpad Novacom Repair for Android, that shows how is use:

Thanks a lot. I was able to installed Nougat on TP. Try to install Paragon exfat/ntfs software but the software shows it's not compatible with HP TP Nougat 7. Installed Total Commander then install the plug-in (USB Stick, free trial btw) then the tablet restarted by itself. As it turns out, the battery drained from 50% to 0% right after installing the plug-in.
So now I'm monitoring the tablet to see if there are problems.
Also, System Storage and (Android Stock) Gallery both don't see the pictures of the usb thumb drive. The only one app can see the usb drive is Total Commander. I clicked on the pictures but there's no photo browsing app associated with Total Commander so I can't see the photo slides. If you happen to know such a photo viewing app compatible with Total Commander, please let me know.

That is a limitation of Android but some apps would be able to read the USB, to look here:

I know that using a USB stick is the most cost effective and easy way to set up, but also keep in mind a wireless hard drive, of you can set up a share folder from a PC and connect the Tablet and show all the photos from a network location. There are many ways the tablet can produce a slide show.

When I click on a photo on USB stick in Total Commander, a menu pops up 'with 2 options:
- Download+Open with
- Download+Edit
But whatever option you choose, nothing happens. It can't even view a photo. So I guess Total Commander is trying to associate a photo with an photo viewing app but it can't find such an app.
For ES Explorer, it can open a photo but no slideshow ( I heard that previous version of ES Explorer had that feature) so you have to manually click on the next photo.
Don't bother with Google Photos because it can't detect photos on the USB stick. So for now, I copy some of my pictures on the HP TP internal storage and play the slideshow by running Google Photos.
Hoping one day either ES Explorer or Total Commander can do slideshows.
Thanks for all your tremendous help.

My phone is not recognized by either my home or work pcs. I've googled and did the basics - enabled usb debugging, preferences set to file transfer. I've never had this problem with a phone before.
It will connect to a usb stick via adaptor so I can transfer files with a multi-step process. This is a pain.

That's strange, either your port is damaged or you don't have drivers installed. I've heard if this happening on Windows 11, never had a problem on Linux

Get the Google USB Driver | Android Studio | Android Developers
The Google USB Driver is required to perform adb debugging on Windows with Google devices.
developer.android.com
The drivers are installed. My home pc is what I used to unlock/root the phone.
When I look at Show Hidden Icons -> Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media, there is an option to remove Pixel 6. Yet it doesn't display under File Explorer or XYplorer.
If I start up my Arch (linux) vm with VMware Workstation Pro under Removeable Devices there is an entry for Google Pixel 6 with the option to Connect (Disconnect from Host). The contents can be under Arch.
Have you tried different cables & different ports? Sometimes the cable is the problem for me.
Different cables/ports had no effect.
I've got the same issue, what's weird is I can move files with ADB but can't in Windows.
If you figure anything out please hit this back up?
First make sure you have a good usb cable.
Some cables are only made for charging.
Second install the USB drivers from Google.
If you can transfer files, but can not use ADB/Fastboot, then it is a driver issue.

Cables/drivers are good. ADB/fastboot work fine it's the transferring of file/recognision of device in windows explorer that is the issue.

Switching from charging mode to file transfer mode in the Connected devices/USB menu should give you access to Android's internal storage from Windows. USB debugging or other Dev options aren't necessary.
I had this same problem. Connecting to pc would show connection options but they were all greyed out and the phone would only charge. I couldn't find any option in the standard settings to change this.
Eventually I found 'default usb configuration' in dev options. Default was set to 'charge only'. You can sort it from there.
edit to add: although re-reading op you may have tried this already.
I solved mine by setting to PTP mode then the PC started to recognize the phone connected

My phone is not recognized by either my home or work pcs. I've googled and did the basics - enabled usb debugging, preferences set to file transfer. I've never had this problem with a phone before.
It will connect to a usb stick via adaptor so I can transfer files with a multi-step process. This is a pain.

It's the stupid Windows drivers. There is an .inf file you need to either edit or delete but I forgot which. Might be wpdmtp.inf in the windows directory, right click and install. You might have to uninstall the driver in device manager first, the one with the exclamation mark if it's there. Sorry it's been about 3 or 4 years since I have done this but it's most likely a driver issue.

I'm checking this on my work pc. It gives me access to DCIM and Pictures folders only. Which give me something to work with at least.

I agree about drivers, that they're either corrupted or incomplete. What's going on in Windows Device Manager when the phone is in a certain state?
During normal operation I assume the general purpose driver is always visible.
Device Manager > Portable Devices > Pixel 6
In fastboot mode with USB debugging enabled, is this driver showing up?
Device Manager > Android Device > Android Bootloader Interface
While Android is running with USB debugging enabled, do you see an ADB driver (the daemon may need to be started)?
Device Manager > Android Device > Android Composite ADB Interface
