[Q] gapps froze Nook Tablet - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Boy, have I messed myself up. I've successfully rooted my Nook Tablet with CM-7 three times -- just for the practice. The last time I decided to get rid of apps, using Titanium Backup. Big Mistake! I started getting the "The application Google services Framework(process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly." I figured I had messed up gapps, so why not reinstall gapps with the gapps.apk? Bigger Mistake!! Now when I boot my Nook -- with or without the sd card installed -- I get a screen with the android avatar in the middle of the screen, and a message at the bottom of the screen which tells me to "Touch the android to begin." The only problem is that touching the android doesn't do anything.
I've re-imaged CM-7 to my sd card, to no effect. Apparently, the Nook, on startup, is going directly to my Nook's internal ROM to boot.
Is there any way out of this "freeze?"
Thanks for any help,
Bob

[Q] the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly

Gtab- Stock 3358.
Previously I had Stock 3358 and rothnics enhancement pack. I installed an app from the market. As soon as I started the app the gtab screen went blank. Then the TapnTap logo as if it was rebooting then within 2 sec I was back at the home screen. If it rebooted it was a heck of a fast reboot.
then I started getting the error. Everything except stock email and settings work. But the error message pops up every few seconds. I can't go to settings and wipe. So I attempted to install stock 3358. it went fine but problem persist. Still can;t go to settings to check version or do a afactory reset.
Any and all help is appreciated.

I had same problem and after debating the right courses to take, I nvflash'ed the device and started over again.
Still would like to understand that caused that error ?
This usually occurs as the result of contacts in your contact folder with blanks in the name fields. Delete any entries with blanks and you should be good to go.
PS. You will get faster resolution if you search before posting as this has been asked and answered several times in past week.
I have same problem...."The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I went into my google account, deleted or put names in contacts that didnt have names, rebooted and still having problem. I tried going into the data/data file, but there was no data file to delete as indicated on other threads. There is not an easy to find thread for this problem. Please help or at least direct me.
Thanks!!!
I never had any contacts saved. Regardless I cannot even open the contacts folder to add/delete anything.
I am having problems with, email, contacts, settings. as soon as I attempt to open any of the above it gives the FC message and takes it back to home.
On the other hand I called Gtab support. As soon as I told the probelm the lady asked me if I could go to settings. Once I told her no I cannot she said you have to send the unit back for repair. She said that she helped another individual yesterday with exact same issue.
On aside note I was able to delete most of my apps using ES file explorer.
@Bekit @rothnic or other senior members is there any solution beside nvflash. I am a newbie.
thanks.
I had the same problem in February and fixed it by searching this forum and finding pieces to put together a solution. The rest of this message is what I posted back on 2/24/11. I think the important part is to repartition your SD card and clear all user data. I have had no problems since I did this fix.
Good luck.
I have had my GTablet since early December and have been running the Stock Enhancement since early January. I have had no problems except for a very occasional unexpected stop. It was never a real problem.
Yesterday I started getting the android.process.acore error literally anytime I tried to use any application. To my knowledge, I had not installed anything recently that would account for this.
The good news is that I followed multiple threads here and came up with what seemed to be a reasonable solution.
I installed Clockwork and reset the partition to 2048/0 as suggested by several posts. I also cleared everything that I could clear using their menu.
Then I installed NVFlash which I believe put me back to the plain vanilla factory OS. (I also think this wiped out Clockwork Mod but I'm not positive.)
I got the "update available" message and did the OTA update of the OS.
Then I installed the TnT Stock Enhancement update and applied the Market Fix.
Everything seems back to normal now.
I want to thank all of the forum members who posted the various instructions that allowed me to piece together this solution.
I realize that not everyone has the same issues when problems occur so there isn't one single fix that is right for everyone. I didn't really understand that until I had this problem. I feel lucky that I've had relatively no problems.
I have to admit that I'm looking carefully at the Motorola Xoom because I suspect it has a much more stable hardware/software infrastructure but I would rethink that if the Viewsonic folks would be more forthcoming about their plans to support upgrades for the GTab. I can live without 3G if I have stability.
Thanks again to all of you experts out there in xda-developers forumland.
Stuck SD card
I am having the same problem and tried to do the restore from the SD card and now the card is in the slot and I cant access the settings to eject it. to run the clockwork mod is there any way to force it to boot the clockwork mod?
For me, Clockworkmod "wipe data/factory reset" eliminated the pesky force close message about android.process.acore that several of us seem to have. NVflashing & Contacts data field corrections did not work for me. The problems seemed to come up after downloading an app from market.
Running VEGAn 1.00 beta 5.1.1 supplement, and happy!
got this last night/this morning as well. from other parts of the forum i went with the fix of using titanium backup to wipe data related to contacts (believe there were three separate items, contacts, contact synch, and something else). btw, I am running VEGAn 5.1.1.
after wiping the data, everything has appeared normal.
hope that helps.
I called CS yesterday. They help me delete most of the apps that I downloaded to see if that will fix the issue. That also helped in eliminating any personal data left behind in case I have to RMA the unit.
that makes my tablet completely stock. I don't have market any more. So can't get clockwork rom manager etc. Bigger probelm is the onscreen keyboard doesn't work either gives the error message.
I did some reading on how to NV Flash the device. Still trying to understand the process.
I have two options
1. NV flash the device and hope that everything still works.
2. I bought sears insruance. Just return the device and then be done with it.
Any help is much appreciated.
My experience level is limted to flashing stock and enhancement packs using the Power and + buttons.
You don't want to use the clockwork in Rom Manager. It doesn't work for the G Tablet.
Here are a couple other options off the top of my head...
1) cwmod for install from Micro SD card http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
2) Try calkulin's format all http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985705

same thing with me. I downloaded a few apps and then I got it. Did the data wipe thing. Came back in and I am still getting the error. Not happening every 5 seconds, but still getting it.
okay, this is strange. I did the data wipe and I was still getting this error. After doing the market fix and got all my downloads available, I noticed that I am only getting this error when I hit the HOME button.
I hit the Home button and the error comes up, then the Android Market comes up. This only happens now when I hit the Home button. Error, Market comes up and I have to hit the Home button again to get home.
HELP!
only the home button
confirmed. Working on this the last 30 minutes, I am only getting this error when hitting the home button.
@ K J Rad
I downloaded caulkins format all zip. Now this may sound a silly question. Do I flash it like changing its name to update.zip and include the recovery file?
2nd question is if I am able to flash it successfully can I install the stock rom?

Just wanted to say this single step worked for me as well.
Ok. Finally got rid of the problem.
First I attemted NVFlash. After some intial strugle setting up the drivers etc on windows got it to work. Everything worked but still had the exact same process.
B/w I noticed superuser still there. I thought NV Flash will bring it to out of box. Used Bekits image.
After some more reading took the plunge and did CWM internal. Dide wipe data. Rebooted and got it working again.
Again pardon my ignorance but do I have to manually update to 3358. And if I do it go stock would it get rid of CWM. How do i get it off the machine?
I would like to prepare for the OTA.
Please advise.
B/w it was fun going through the process.

Glad you got it working. Installing the stock 3588 update will replace the bootloader and removes CWM. That should leave you as close to real stock as you can get.
Oh, and welcome aboard ;-)

[Q] Root After Erase/De-register Device

Hello All
So I got a Nook Tablet. Nice device. I followed the root techniques plus block the OTA. Everything was fine. Started installing apps, loving it, live wallpapers, custom UI, etc etc.
After a few days my B&N shop quit working. Not the end of the world but I wanted it to. At the end of the day I Erased/De-Registered my device.
After the restore I began going through the root process again. Replaced USB drivers, went to Nook & Zergy, it found my device, I started the root and it said I was already rooted, but unfortunately it can not now replace the UI and install all the apps.
I do see the NookZergy zip is loaded with all the APK's. Can those be manually installed now? I need a little NOOB Help. And yes I searched the forums.
Thanks for the help!
The "Erase/Deregister Device" does not actually do a factory reinstall, it just deletes your specific data, and starts from there.
The easiest, but not quickest way to get around this would be to use the 8-failed-bootup recovery. Otherwise, you need to install the One Tap Unroot that is out there. Both of these will trigger a factory reset, and allow you to newly root your Nook Tablet.
Thanks cfoesch
I'm trying the one tap unroot now and must be doing it wrong. I open the APK and do package install. It installs so I open it, it gives me a button to push that shows 'echo worked'
After I reboot I get the following error:
Sorry!
The application Nook Unroot (process com.indirect.nook.unroot) has stopped working unexpectedly. Please try again.
Any ideas?
Did the 8-boot failure method.
Yeah, the one touch unroot will only work if you already have root. Otherwise, it will just stall out.
I've noticed that as well that the Nookunroot.apk will crash if it is installed but not used. Not particularly sure what that's about.

[Q] Installing CM7 on 8gig NT

(First I wanted to say, you guys all rock. I owned a Nook Color for awhile and had cyanogen mod on it and it was absolutely awesome. I do understand the basics of how to install it. I ended up selling my old nook (was low on money) and recently began to miss it, so I picked up a 8gig Nook Tablet running 1.4.2. I tried to figure this out on my own, but after 8 hours of reading threads and not having any luck I decided to finally post a thread asking for help )
Problem:
I have an 8gig Nook Tablet (brand new from the store) running 1.4.2. I would like to install Cyanogen Mod 7 on it since the stock O.S. is ... well... terrible.
To start, can it currently be done with that tablet at all? Should I even attempt to do it or wait until everything is more stable?
I did manage to get it rooted using this guys method. Next, I burnt a 4gig SD card based off Indirect's thread so I could boot CWM from it. I was intending on installing CM7 from this thread. I re-sized the 70 mb partition thing using EASEUS Partition Master, stuck the CM7 files in the directory and set about attempting to set it up
My problem is I can't even get CWM to boot. I power it on, it goes straight to the stock O.S. I hold the N button with power button, and it gives me a prompt for a factory restore (which is nice, better than the 'interrupt boot 8 times b.s.). I plug the cable in, unresponsive to anything until I take the card out
Am I doing something incorrectly, or maybe using the wrong files? If I can't install CM7 for some reason, is there any way to make the stock O.S. function better? I can't view apps without going to search->play store-> finding them, which is a pain.
Thanks so much for any help!

[Q] Starting problems after shutdown HP Touchpad on Cyangenmod 9

My HP Touchpad on ICS (Cyangenmod 9) is refusing to start. Keeps flashing the message "Unfortunately Trebuchet stopped working" and when i touch on ok, the message pops up again.
this is the sequence in which it happened:
My daughter was playing Temple Run and the TP shut down because the battery was over.
I plugged it into the wall charger and after about 10 minutes of charging (the screen showed a big battery symbol with a red line beside it)
and then the boot screen came on, with cyanogen mod highlighted and in few seconds started to boot into ICS, and the screen showed - Cyanogen MOd 9 Loading - and stayed like that for 45 minutes;
I felt it got stuck and held the power button and vol up for a few seconds to reboot and this time it reboot with the Android icon with lots of blue around it. And thats when it started flashing the message "Unfortunately Trebuchet stopped working"
also the system tray (?) lower right corner, flashed a popup saying the sd card is damaged; and when touched it , showed the message 'sd card damaged - format or cancel- touch on either one and the Trebuchet message comes on...
went back to the boot screen and tried to boot into webOS, but somehow it jumped back into cyanogen mod.
i need help. do i need to reinstall the entire cyanogen mod package again and if yes, how do i do it?
and where is the sd card located? is it user accessible?
thanks

The sd card is a virtual one, in other words, there is no sd card. It's created when installing android.
I recommend leaving the TP plugged into the charger for at least a few hours, then try booting again. If the problem persists, you might have to doctor. It's not hard. Go to the webos nation forum and search for webOS doctor and follow the instructions. It might not be a bad idea to uninstall android, then do a new, clean install. You should be good to go. BTW, try to not let the battery run down all the way. As you can see, it can cause all sorts of problems.
Good luck.
thanks

Thanks; I have already cleared most of the problem by using webOS Doctor; I think I need to do a clean install, for that i have to uninstall cm9 by using the ACMEUninstaller, right? i am a noob, so...
will that help me recover some space, because now with just webOS on the HP Touchpad, I have just about 5 gigs?

Yes use ACMEUninstaller to remove cm9 just do exactly what you did to install but replace ACMEInstaller2/3 with ACMEUninstaller.
For guidance my 32gig Tablet shows a hard drive size 27.2 with just webos and 25.5/25.4 with Android installed the lower figure using ACMEInstaller3 as it takes an extra 100mb .

Read this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426244 (read the whole thread).
This fixed my "lost space" problem. I had about 16gb missing, but this got the partitions 'right' Good luck.

[Q] 498 error on Nook tablet

WIfe's nook tablet is having major issues. Running on BN os 1.4.3. Refuses to download or update certain programs from google market. Tried dumping all data and caches, Got the thing to download market fix and other programs to fix problem...no go. The problem seems to be with Team Lava programs and Zynga programs and any programs previous installed needing updates. Can't find the dalvik folder to delete the swap file as another thjread suggested. Don't want to delete Google play as too many people have said it's unreasonably hard to get it back. One interesting thing is that her google play start screen looks like the one prior to the last update and I can't get it to update to the new screen.
HELP!! Anyone....
