Im in serious need of help with unrooting my nook tablet , i have read and tried almost every method of trying to unroot my device and have came to no soulution , what am i doing wrong, i hope someone is willing to help me
So here is what happen : i rooted my nook tablet being unaware what OTA was which i found was about the automted update thats when i got screwed and my root was gone , so i performed the nook&zergy bat file and it didnt make it all the way though as it stood there with no momrnt after i accpted i wanted it rooted , then i repeted the prograsse and
nookzergy said it was rooted, so then i downloaded super user and titamum back up and downloaded honycomb launcher , i then launched honeycomb and installed superuser and titamum superuser doesnt work and busybox says my device is not rooted same with titanum back up , so then i knew something was wrong , i had to check out xda unroot nook tabkrt
fourm and downloaded the nookunroot.apk and ran it , got an error about echojava and then echo wercked or something , i factory restored my device about 10 times each time trying to repeat the process and nookzergy says its rooted but busybox and other programs telling me that my devive is not rooted , i have tryed all types of resets andfactory restore with 8 hard resets and holding power and the home when screen is off to get thr promy come up about fsctory restoring and also tryed the acclaimed update and yes my device is on version 1.4.0 not 1.4.1
Any suggestions you can advise me to help me restore or unroot my nook tablet
Thanx for taking your time in trying to help
You have some options. Try an automated factory reset and that will most definatly do it if you have full access to the device. If this dose not work then I suggest shutting down the device and trying a manual factory reset. If you do not know these combinations of keys or how to find them just ask. Also if this dosent help then you can load a boot reset. If you do not know how to do this just ask.Hope this helps!
Here's some steps to unroot if the automated script fails. First, a reminder that this will put the tablet back to oobe. Read the steps and then re-read to make sure you've got it:
Power down, hold power and 'n' and it'll turn on, then come to the black background with the n logo then power off. Release just the power button and press and hold following the exact steps mentioned above 7 more times.
On the 9th time just use the power button to turn it on and it'll prompt you with some warnings. Follow through with the continue and it will perform the steps.
SECOND WARNING: this will perform a complete factory restore so any installed apps will be gone but it won't touch your SD card.

Hi guys , thanx for your suggestions I'm going tontry all I know ,
But I am very curious ... How do you
A: perform a automated factory reset
Or load a boot reset , hope you can help
Thanx
Hey escc, there is a procedure provided by AdamOutler here. Its not really an automated way of unrooting but will put the NT back to factory settings without messing around with silly boot options (just make sure you delete the file after you're done )
I would recommend checking out the Nook Tablet section of the forum for a whole bunch of suggestions and options.
Edit: the linked steps well not wrote the device only roll the fw back. You well still have to wipe it fully to get the desired effects.

Unfortenly i have alreadty tried that method in the past and no results for me
Any other method could you advise me of ,or will i have to wait for the auomated update to update my device to 1.4.1 ?
search the nook tablet forum for the stock 1.4.0 firmware
place that on a sd card and it should unroot it, worst case scenario as you'll lose everything

Tried it no luck
Let me take a look around for some additional steps. The 1.4.0 file doesn't take you to ootb, it just rolls back the firmware. I had to do additional steps to get myself back up and running. While I'm looking, go into settings, device info, erase and deregister device

There's this command you can run if you can still access ADB
Code:
- echo -n '0000' > /bootloader/BootCnt
I haven't tried this so let me know how it works.
Hi dodgepot
Im pretty much a noob when it comes to
the commands
Could you exsplain step by step what should i do and type in , it would help me alot , im just an idot when it comes to dos based commands , so it would help me if you exsplained them to me in idot proof instructions
Thsnx dodge
Try the reset steps first that I put in the same post. I haven't tried the adb command myself so I'm unsure but will give a try when I get home. What OS is your home computer on? If Ubuntu I'll get you steps to set up adb
If this post helped click the thanks button!
My OS is windows 7
Sure no probleam try the method later when you can and if its a charm guide me step by step
Its so strange how i have tryed serval method and no luck yet , hope my nook tablet is not bricked

Your tablet still functions, yes? If so, not bricked so there's always hope . What does your fw version currently say?
In one post, which ways have you attempted? The 8 reboots _should_ work which will put the tablet back to a stock image.
Sorry for making you do this over and over but im just trying to see exactly where you are in this world.
Thanks in advance,

Lol its alright that i have to repeat steps , i want to thanx you for being so patient with me , really apprecite your help
Yeah my nook tablet still works and functions
Well my version of my nook tablet as of now is 1.4.0
Well i just attemped as what you had said , i desing and erashed in the setting then right after i did your method holding power and `N` down for 8 times then the 9th time just powering it on with just the power button
That was the last steps i did and no cigar
This truly is werid , i mean is there any way i can update to 1.4.1 so it can earased the root like it did in the past ?
Or i dont know it seems very strange , dont think no one has came across my error before ?
Sent you a pm but before responding to that, do the 8 failed reboots again. Wish there was a faster way of forcing the reboots cos it's tedious.
Just to recap:
shut down,
hold power and n
Phone will power on then turn itself off.
Release power
Press and hold power another 7 times, to a total of 8.
Once the device has powered down on the 8th time, with the phone still off, release the n key.
Press just the power key
Follow on screen prompts
Once you've registered, go find the necessary steps to root by indirect and re-download everything.
Run the runmefirst.bat
Connect the nook
Make sure it's showing as an ADB Android device
Run the nook&zergy.bat file and follow the prompts
Make sure it goes through all the steps, including blocking OTA updates
If the last step doesn't come up, look up the steps to block the OTA update.
If all/any of this falls let me know!

How did you update to 4.0.4 and root it?
I looked on the Chinese forums and people are saying updating it will brick your device so I'm afraid of updating it
any ideas on how to update it without bricking it?

Maybe.. i'm lucky..
I'd update by standard recovery... with the update in gadmei web site.
I'd flash it 2 times because for root the device with a wrong software i'd half brick it...

I also have this tablet, bought it on Sunday. I updated the software to the 1026 the otherday, update went as planed. It was only the 1011 (or something like that) that was bricking their tablets.
Tablet seems ok to appart from 2 big problems 1st is the wifi is really weak on mine, i need to use a mini usb to ethernet adapter to get online reliably.
2nd problem is I dont seem to be able to download anything from the play maket, I keep getting 101 download errors.
I have read that clearing the market cache, data and from google services framework and logging out from accounts on the tablet and restarting and hard reseting should clear the problem but it dosent.
Anyone else having google play problems or is it just me
The tablet seems to be recognised by google play as its in my list of devices along with my ZTE blade which still has the ability to download apps.
Thanks for any help.
Mark.
Play store working now. Rooted too using root_by_hewuqiku.zip.
Anyone know of anyone making ROMs for this tablet?

Good question, i would be happy to find somebody.. The original ICS is not that good ported. I use MyAudio 808DCC (what is the same tab with different brand name) with Gadmei ROM.
This tablet is also sold as "iToos i8". On their forum it was said 4.1 is in beta stage but not stable yet. It's not expected to be released this year (remember chinese new year begins in february).
But some custom ROM would be nice. Btw. does anybody else here have problems that the E8HD won't wake up after standby and just stay with black screen? I have to force it to shut down by pressing the powerswitch for about 10 seconds and hear some noise from speaker, then it will reboot fine.

Edit:
Solved

If you have 4.0.4 ROM the simplest way is to use the attched 870s2-root.zip file (it is for Mediacom 870S2 which is a rebranded Gadmei):
1. Copy 870s2-root.zip on the root of your SD card (DO NOT extract, just copy)
2. Insert SD in your tablet then boot up by pressing Volume UP + power buttons to enter recovery
3. Wait until the recovery menu appear, then using Volume-Up and Volume-Down buttons to scroll the menu and power to enter, select "install patch from SD card" or something like that
4. You will see files list on SD card, again using volume and power buttons, select 870s2-root.zip file
5. Patch will be applied in few seconds
6. Now select "reboot" item.
Now your tablet is rooted but you need super user tool to take advantage of that.
Go to Play Store and search for "Superuser" or "SuperSu" or other tools like them, install it and you'll have a fully rooted gear.

Thank You very much. Instructions encouraged me, so I rooted with "hewuqiku.zip" by the same system. Now is rooted, no problem, everything works well. I can install app that require root.

First post so be gentle.
My Gedmei E8-hd was a bit of an impulse purchase, and it would appear from what I have researched that this may have been a mistake.
My main issue is not being able to maintain a stable wifi connection, which is obviously a major requirement for any tablet. Although, I have read devices being bricked with certain hardware/firmware combinations I have given both the latest official and the rooted version above a go. My problem is I get to the menu, choose update from sd card option, choose the file, but shortly after the update fails to run and Mr Android falls over.
Has anybody had this issue or know a reason why this would occur. In any event, would the firmware make any difference to the wifi issue?
The battery icon on my E8hd has become permanently stuck at 100%, is there a way to refresh it or clear the battery stats?
Also I see there is a newer 1128 ROM out (im on 1026). The method of instalation seems a bit strange to me. What is step 1 for?
升级方法：
（1）首先用一张TF卡来制作启动卡。启动卡制作方式 Link removed
（2）再将下载的固件包减压，将减压后的文件放到TF卡的根目录，把卡插入你的平板电脑。
（3）关掉平板（MID）后，先按住音量“+”键或者“-”键不放手，再长按“电源键”开机，等到出现“GADMEI"LOGO时，再放开POWER键大概几秒后再放开“+”键或者“-”键，系统将自动进入升级模式，升级完成后会自动重启。

Upgrade method:
(1) First, to make a boot with a TF card card. Start card making: link removed
(2) and then download the firmware package decompression after decompression of files into the root directory of the TF card, insert the card into your Tablet PC.
(3) turn off the tablet (MID), first press and hold the volume "+" key or the "-" key is not to let go, and then long press the power button to boot, until "GADMEI" LOGO appears, then release the POWER button probably a few seconds and then release the "+" key or the "-" key, the system will automatically enter the upgrade mode will automatically reboot after the upgrade is complete.

I would agree that the wifi isnt that good, its not that bad either. If you are using WEP encryption then you stand no chance of getting a good wifi signal. If you have the choice then go with a WPA2psk encryption, it works so much better with the E8.
Im not 100% sure about the firmware affecting the wifi but I would say it does (correct me if im wrong), on my ZTE blade the wifi was quite bad with the stock Orange rom but its really good with just about any developers ROM.
As for the E8 i dont know if either of the updated roms from Gadmei have any wifi fixes/improvements included in them.

I did try to decompress the zip file but will try again and see if it works this time.
I downloaded that File in step 1 and read the word doc in there, as far as I can tell it seems to be formating the sd card as FAT32, whats the point of this as my card is allready FAT32, or is this step doing something else?
It seems a really strange thing to be doing when to install the last 1026 or whatever you just had to copy the rom zip to the sdcard like I do with my ZTE balde and install from there.
Has anyone installed 1128? how did you do it?
I installed ROM 1128 and it was a very simple job:
1. Download ROM file from the link i reported in previous post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35722947&postcount=12
2. Extract files to SD; no folder, following files should be present on SD root: aml_autoscript, factory_update_param.aml, g11refE8-ota-eng.bestidear.zip, patch_gadmei_e8t3cn.zip, u-boot.bin, uImage, uImage_recovery.
3. Reboot in recovery mode and installation will go on automatically
After installation completed, you should root your device again; you can do it with simple procedure I reported here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35936767&postcount=14
Hello. Maybe some of you have heard of a certain phone known as the Casio G'zone Commando. It is rugged phone from Verizon, and I think it is time that someone develops a custom rom. Even with all of the bloat uninstalled, it still freezes up every once and awhile. This phone isn't very popular, so not many people have tried a get a custom rom on it. Through my research, this is what I found out: The Commando doesn't have a way to get into a recovery menu (there is no key combanation) However, I know that Getitnowmarketing has posted a working recovery on androidforums.com, but you still need to hook it up to a computer to use it. So what does this have to do with custom roms? Also, what is a bootloader, and how would I unlock it on the Commando?? I really need some help. If no one will volunteer, I may just try to pull this off, but first, I am gonna need some education on custom roms and technical android stuff. Thank you!
I have been fooling around with the commando as well, and have found that if you have it connected to your laptop and while booting up you press the power+camera+vol down buttons it will pull up a hard reset screen. During this time I also had Odin3 v1.70 and it shows under the ID:COM - 0:[COM51] highlighted in yellow. Could we at this point download custom firmware, or possibly root?
Any help would be appreciated!

That's very interesting! I think this means that there is a way to recover your phone if something goes wrong!
Unfortunately, I still don't know if this is enough. Somehow we need to get an expert to help answer our questions...
Hopefully one of our devs will be a real sweetheart and get ICS rolling on this device.
There are there no known ICS ROMs for this device???
No, there is not an ICS or JB rom for this device. I don't know if it would be able to run stock JB and ICS well considering it is 800 mhz (I've heard somewhere the recommended ICS speed is 1 ghz), but overclocking is always an option (I think overclocking is easier on custom roms). Also, JB or ICS may run better on it with some customization.
But either way, a custom rom, whether it be based on Android 4.x or 2.x would be great! I would learn how to do things like unlocking the bootloader and making custom roms, but time is an issue for me. I just wish there was a dev out there willing to do this. I would even consider donating!

Is the commando a 4g one or the first commando? I'm asking because I have the c771 but it only has 2.3.3 gingerbread
Sent from my Xperia Play using xda premium
Yeah I actually realized his is the 4g one neither version seems to have very much support of any kind I wonder if it would be possible to take the ics rom off the new one and make it work on the old one but that is far beyond my scope most I can get is a file dump from the 4g the rest would have to be left to much more capable hands lol all I can even find on the 4g version is rooting it

I've found a few methods to root it. You just need adb and google lol
My dad has the original commando, and his upgrade is in April. It's a ways off, but I may be able to make a port of CM for it from my OG droid CM7 rom since they are similar. I'm not sure yet, since I've never tried making a CM port before, but I'll give it a shot after I get my new phone and customize it around the same time. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to release a stable port for it.

[CWM + ROOT] Rooting a Casio gzone ca201L (Korea)
jzoo said:
No, there is not an ICS or JB rom for this device. I don't know if it would be able to run stock JB and ICS well considering it is 800 mhz (I've heard somewhere the recommended ICS speed is 1 ghz), but overclocking is always an option (I think overclocking is easier on custom roms). Also, JB or ICS may run better on it with some customization.
But either way, a custom rom, whether it be based on Android 4.x or 2.x would be great! I would learn how to do things like unlocking the bootloader and making custom roms, but time is an issue for me. I just wish there was a dev out there willing to do this. I would even consider donating!

Howdy! Recently I just rooted, and installed CWM on my xperia mini pro (Sk17i) running the .587 version (yes, ICS). However, after doing it I can't shut down the cellphone just by holding down the power button, so now I'm forced to hold it down for a few secs, then touch the visual "power off" button. I can live with it, but if it could be fixed somehow it'd be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.

I am quite sure that the power menu was there even before you rooted your mini pro. It is there in all of our phones even if we don't root it. And by the way, rooting only installs the superuser binaries and superuser.apk. Nothing can happen to a mobile by just "rooting" it. All the problems arise after messing with a rooted phone. Did you by chance flash a systemui.apk or framework-res.apk or something like that?

Yes, the power menu was there before indeed, the difference is that I could turn off the phone by simply holding the power button for 5~ secs, which I can't now. The only thing I did after rooting was installing cwm, and that's when I noticed the difference : C
If I were to reflash the Rom (It's just stock ics) or factory reset the cellphone, what are the odds of getting it fixed? :C

Doing a factory reset does not edit the /system partition at all. Only the /data partition. Flashing a stock ics ftf will definitely work. Good luck!:laugh:
Okay I seem to be pretty ****ed. I flashed in a custom Rom just to see if it would fix, but nope. So now I just want to hard reset the cellphone and do the whole process again. However, after connecting the cellphone to repair via pc companion, it doesn't really recognize the phone (Just says sony/sony ericsson phone) and it also says that there's no available software for my phone. So I turn it on, and connect it with the phone turned on to see what happens, and then it shows that companion is recognizing my phone as an Arc S (It might have something to do with the root, I used the 4.0.3 kernel trick since I didn't want to unlock bootloader)... Right now I'm downloading SEUS to see if it's more reliable, but damn I'm running out of ideas now, Help incredibly appreciated : (

Well PC companion now correctly recognizes it as SK17, but it still can't repair and says there's no software available for my phone.
I was hoping to remove the root and CWM via PC companion, and I can't do that by using flashtool can I? But seems like I have no choice left.
Sorry for so many quick posts, but even after flashing stock ics, then repairing via SEUS, I still can't seem to power off the phone just be holding down the button, I can't be this crazy... Someone else with a sk17 can confirm this? I'm actually scared now.

Well, your "problem" won't go away in the near future because it's not a problem, but the actual behavior of the ICS Android on the Mini Pro. I've got a SK17i with original ICS on it and I've been holding down the power button for 10 seconds: only the menu appears.

Hi,
I was just wondering: Have you rooted your device and have you installed twrp for your specific device? (I know, sounds like a dumb question, but you'll be suprised how many people install wrong versions). Because if you have rooted your device properly, and you installed twrp (one for your device), then you should be just fine. But I'm afraid that you haven't, and that therefore the screen is all fuzzy. And also, is the screen fuzzy in the twrp menu, or when you are on (e.g) the homescreen? If the second option doesn't apply, then you are not bricked. Please answer and give as much information as possible on what you did, then I might be able to help you. (btw, it's very unlikely that you are hard-bricked and that your device won't be able to be repaired)
(and a happy new year )

Yes i root my device before i installed twrp , when i boot my tablet twrp boots up the screens goes alll blurry / fuzzy with colors then it becomes normal recovery menue i installed twrp touch so i should be able to touch the setting but i can't i press the power button and a fuzze Unlock with ''Slide to unlock'' comes up but i can't slide to unlock it.. Oh yeah and it is upside down so i have to turn my tablet upside ..
I think[I know] i installed the wrong version of twrp which does not work for my device, Is there any way i could get rid of this recovery or factory reset?
What kind of tablet do you have? Does the bootloader support fastboot? If so you should be able to flash the proper recovery. If not does adb work when in recovery? You may be able to change it here. Also your OEM may have a download mode to flash firmware, this may be another option.

I have a Allwinner A31 table to be precise ubonton u705a
I have tried adb but it just says [waiting for device] so I guess ADB does not work.

I think the easiest would be to just install the right version, the same way you installed this version. You are still able to connect your device to your pc, I guess, so you should be fine. To go back to your stock recovery, find the stock recovery for your device (you can probably find it somewhere here on the forums), and flash it.
Hope this works and good luck
