Hi, I've rooted my Nook with Touchnooter and everything's been great, except today the latest issue of the New Yorker wouldn't download. I got some sort of formatting error. A BN chat rep wants me to do a hard reset. What will this do to the Touchnooted side of things?
Depends on what he mean by a hard reset..
Simply holding the power button for ~10s to reset the NST won't do any harm.
If you do a Factory Reset (booting while holding left and right bottom buttons) you will have to reapply TN.
Yeah, I was a afraid of that. He wants me to do the latter. I'll try option one first, though.
Thanks for the quick reply.

My Trinity is stuck at the hard reset screen where it says "Press SEND to restore factury default, press END to quit". I've tried to hard reset it as it told me to, but it's still stuck. I've also tried to flash it with a new ROM, but that's hard as it's unable to establish an activesync connection. Is there any way I can fix this myself ?

Have you got to the multi coloured screen after doing the hard reset (Power button+Camera button+soft reset)? If yes then you should be able to plug your Trinity into the PC and flash a Rom.
I had a similar problem while trying to flash a new rom and this worked for me. You could also try removing the battery for more than 3 secs then powering up and attempting the above tasks. Best of luck, most of all don't give up and keep searching the forums.
No, it just went back to the hard reset screen again. But I found out, I placed the buttons wrong when I changed them, so the two softbuttons were pressed all the time. It's fixed now.
ANYONE PRO one can help ME plz...........
Why My HTC WIZARD Not Enough battery energy is it will stuck back at hard reset ??
This is my third hard reset and the first 2 times I was not that peeved at all but this time around I am quite pissed at this phone! I was careful with what I am installing and it was after getting the latest TMO update. Btw, I have TMOUS and stock (newer one). Anyway, I was not even doing anything at all when my phone froze, I was simply going to turn off the alarm (I use SPB Time).
Anyway, I soft reseted and it is stuck at the Stick Together screen. Tried many times and no luck so I just thought, wth, just hard reset.
The first two times I hard reseted, it was automatic since I got a message on my phone but this time there was no message so I decided to use the volume buttons and the end key button. The first time I tried it, I ended up with the tricolor screen and nothing. No message about 'this will erase blah blah.' I tried again several hours later and it finally gave me the message about pressing the volUP button to proceed with hard reset so I did. And after just TWO seconds, I saw RESTORE COMPLETE, press volUP to boot so I did and NOTHING. I am still stuck at the Tmobile Stick Together screen after reboot!!! I did this three times (volUP, endkey, hard reset, volUP) and it was always fast. I don't remember it being that fast before.
Can someone please just tell me what I can do to just get it work again? Does this mean I just bricked this frickin' phone??? I have not flashed a ROM (except perhaps to do the TMOUS update). Can I still make this work?
(I don't know where to post this so I apologize if this is the wrong one. But I thought since a lot of people are flashing their roms in this thread, someone have seen something similar to mine and can help).
I love this phone but this is ridiculous.
things to try

Try removing your memory card and doing hard reset. If that doesnt work try removing both memory card and your sim card and doing a hard reset. If that doesnt work try loading an original stock LEOIMG.nbh file onto your memory card and flashing from your memory card.
BTW, should be BOTH up and down volume keys and power button to get to hard reset screen. Then volume up to restore.
Hope that helps.

I did mean volume UP and DOWN. Anyway, I tried your suggestions but same result. Still stuck.
So I proceed as if I am updating to the newer T-Mobile version. I followed the steps posted here:
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm54430.xml?
However, when it came to the part where I had to make sure I have active sync established, I actually could not tell as it shows on my PC that I am not connected but at this point I really have nothing to lose. However, that said, in bootloader mode on my phone I see USB when I connect the phone to PC and then it reverts to SERIAL when I disconnect. So I thought, what the heck, it seems to be connected. AND VOILA, I was able to flash using TMO's updated ROM (the one I had just before all these mishap). WHEW! As much as I hate hard resets, I'd take it over bricking.
Thank God for TMo's excellent instructions on that site. I tried reading the instructions for flashing here and I just could not understand all these SPL, HARDSPL2 crap.
If I have to do another hard reset after I set this all up again I am going to scream!!!
I updated my NST with the multitouch.zip found in the multitouch thread. It was working properly until the backlight logo disaperd at the top, I tried to restart, still gone. I deregistered my device and did factory reset, still gone. Updated with stock_kernel, still gone.
And worst part is, I'm stuck att the registration window where I'm supposed to get the glowlight going by holding the n button for 2 seconds. But it never turns on.
What am I supposed to do? :S
Sorry, used this method:

I can't find an answer to this anywhere.
I tried giving my rooted tf300t a factory reset and it's stuck on the android upgrading screen (the one with the android guy and the blue thing moving around inside of him). I've tried volDown and power. It doesn't take me to my custom recovery. It won't even turn all the way off. It just keeps resetting and going back to the upgrading screen.
The only funky thing I did that may have caused this is that to factory reset, instead of going to CWM, I used settings->backup&reset->factory reset. I don't have any idea what to do to fix it. Right now im letting it die altogether. Hopefully then I can get into recovery.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
*I've also attached a photo of the screen if my description wasn't enough.
*SOLVED...turns out it just took whole 2 hours to factory reset...who knew
Atoto A6 PF installed yesterday and all was good until late in the day the menu stopped opening. I click the icon and it flashes a sound icon over the menu icon for a brief second before nothing else happens.
I’ve tried disconnecting the power harness in an effort to hard reset it and soft reset it to no avail.
Will try to update firmware soon but I don’t have access to putting the file onto a usb drive at the moment, as ridiculous as that sounds. And I did download the file through the browser but can’t experiment opening the file since I can’t access the menu > file explorer.
Any ideas??

Managed to successfully factory reset the device again and that solved it. Not sure why it didn’t take the first time.

Maybe you could describe the reset procedure in more detail?

Sure, it was just going through something like Settings > User Accounts > Reset, and it did a factory reset of the device.
The weird part was that I did that once already and it simply restarted the device to the same state instead of actually resetting it, so I was like uh oh what now.. Tried it again and it worked correctly.
I had thie same thing happen with my app drawer. I factory reset it and it worked fine for a couple days, then out of seeming nowhere, it started doing it again. I just did another factory reset but I have a hunch it's just a matter of time and it'll happen again. I would like to find a permanent solution. Hows yours holding up?
