my nc is stuck at registration, "enabling wifi". if i leave it alone for 24 hours, its still there when i get back. the NC should be 1.2 with the 1.2 recovery ("touch the future of reading" or whatever) i tried 8 failed boots and wiping data and cache but nothing will fix this problem.

You say 'stuck'. What do you mean by that? The wifi screen does not come up, you cannot find any hot spots, or you cannot connect to any hot spots shown? We need more info.
And when you did the 8 failed boots, was it successful? Did it reinstall the ROM?

The wifi screen simply says "enabling wifi" nothing more than that. No list of wifi networks or even an empty network list.
It seems that 8 failed worked as it took me back to registering the nc
Try doing what is suggested in the link:
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Factory_Mode/Skip_Out_of_Box_Experience
This lets you skip the wifi registration to go debug what is wrong.
You can also try updating to a newer stock rom. Go to this page and follow directions on 'get version 1.4.3 today'.

skipping registration allowed me to reset from the settings, which put me back in business. thanks! i wish i knew about this... oh... 2 weeks ago!!

Hello all.
I have an issue that I can't find on the forums...I'm totally confused.
My brand new (3 day old from Target) Iconia Tab 500 keeps saying there is a system update ready. A dialog box pops up saying it's ready & do I want to download now or wait.
If I click "now" it looks like it's downloading. There is a little status bar on the bottom right of the screen that says it's downloading & the yellow bar moves along at a decent pace.
I think it finishes downloading....because that status bar disappears.
Then nothing happens. I expected a "run update" type of window to appear, but it never does.
So if I click through to the "about" area & click "check for system updates"....and for about 1/2 of a second I see the spinning wheel icon that looks like it's contacting the Acer servers to check for any updates...but that disappears & it says "no updates currently available".
So I go on about my business.
Then seemingly at some random interval I get another "system update ready - do you want to download now or later". Of course if I click "now" the same thing happens....nothing.
I thought maybe i had downloaded it & now i have to install manually, but I can't see any file named "update" anywhere...particularly not in the "downloads" folder.
This has happened maybe 5 or 6 times over the past 3 days.
I'm totally confused. Can somebody help me please?
In the About Info it says:
Android: 3.01
Kernal Version: 2.6.36.3-00001-G9B3CE2B
Build: Acer_A500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1
FYI - I have not rooted this because #1 I have never done that before & am hesitant to screw it up & #2 I have 87 days left on my 90 day Target return policy & I don't want to do anything that's gonna screw that up in case I decide this tablet isn't really for me.
Thanks all !!

Same thing for me
I'm also having the same problem.
I've tried downloading the OTA update. The progress bar fills all the way up, gets to the end... then nothing. No button for "install now".
I've tried downloading 4 times, both with and without the sd card installed. I've even let it sit in this state for 15-20 minutes. It just hangs...and hangs....and hangs.
Android Version: 3.0.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3

Also, unrooted.
more info
Hmmmm - ok...additional info for me. I do NOT have any SD card inserted. I just decided to not buy one with the unit because I thought i had a few extra at home, but I didn't - & I haven't been back to the store to get one yet.
I wonder if that makes a difference for my situation?
I will get a card & try again asap & post a reply.
Thanks,
GMP

I can't imagine having an SD card installed would be a requirement for the update. The card is a piece of optional equipment.
The only reason I tried with and without was that I saw some people were having some install issues that were solve by removing the card. But I think this was more an issue with rooted devices.
Trying anything at this point.
thanks
Makes sense.
Hopefully somebody will help us.
Thanks.

I've got a few days left of "returnability" on this tablet. If I can't get this solved in a reasonable amount of time...buh-bye. May ditch in favor of the Toshiba.
Working! (i think)
I think I've got it working. I reset my device first (paperclip, pinhole...reboot).
Re-downloaded the update. Hurray - got a "install now" message. It's unzipping and installing right now.
Stand by for an update....
Success!!!
That worked. So, try resetting your tab with a paperclip.

There must be another way??

I didn't do a factory reset. It's just a "regular" reset. Not sure what the difference is between with sort of reset and simply running a power-cycle (except that the reset worked and power cycling didn't).
When I paper-clipped my Iconia (from power on), it simply shut down. When it booted back up, it was stil my machine with all my data and software.
ok - thanks!
Oh...ok - that makes sense - I'll try that.
Thanks!

Cool. In retrospect, I think there may have been something waiting in the install queue that I couldn't see. The reset may have cleared it out.
Cheers.
in fatc what might have happend to you is that the paperclip thing looked if there is an update.zip in the cache, and if it finds one, it does the update.
you can also check in doing volume- power.
if you don't have cwm or any kernel installed.
My Acer is stock with only ADW Launcher. I've not rooted it or done any modifications to it otherwise. No SD card in it when OTA attempted.
The OTA attempted to download today but seemed to have failed and ultimatly seems to have bricked the tablet. I called Acer Support and they want me to send the tab in to be fixed but I'm hoping there is a way to fix it still.
The OTA prompte came up and I agreed to download.
Download progress bar started but an hour later when I came back to my desk it was still at 0%.
I tried to cancel but it wouldn't cancel nor could I get back to the desktop or to anything else, basically frozen.
Not sure whatelse to do, I powered it off and turned it back on.
The Acer logo comes on and then the Android logo and that is as far as it gets.
Acer had me try holding power and vol down button. That would get me to android with a yellow triangle but thats its.
I found online the hard reset of power/vol up and toggle switch and got 'Erasing Data' but it never gets further.
Anyone have any suggestions of what to try?

You could try a manual update to 3.2 using the official Acer ota ROM found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
Drop the ROM associated with your current GEN on your external SD card, rename it "update.zip", then boot with your external SD card in the slot while holding power and volume.
Should do the trick.
Okay... so got it out of its hung state and its now sporting Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2. I lost everything somehow but I can deal with that. The problem now is that the Wifi won't make connection. It attempts too but never obtains the ip address. Everything else in the house connects fine. Is there a fix for this or do I need to attempt the downgrade back to 3.1 to get wifi back?
UPDATE: Fixed the wife... not sure exactly how though. Was trying the different roms from the thread below and now am showing Acer_A500_7.006.13_COM_GEN2 and wifi works.

Good job!
Hi.
I have a serious problem using my Nook Touch.
I imported my Nook the last November.
As soon as it arrived at my house I rooted it and then after using it for a week I decided to make it back to the default factory state using the backup I had made before rooting.
I think the unrooting itself was successfully done but when I try to boot my Nook up, I can not get though the initial setup section (the sign part), it says,
Sign in
Error
Sorry we're having trouble setting up your Nook. Please shutdown the device and try again.
If the problem persists, contact Customer Support at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665).
DAD1202
Then I have no choice but to power it off which doesn't do anything to solve the problem.
Now I have a Nook which is completely unusable in my hands.
I have not read a single book yet after I paid an extra money to import it and waited for it to arrive for 3 weeks...
I am at a loss as to what to do now, so if you can help me in any way I would be really grateful for it.
Force reset it by shutting it down, then starting it up, and when the screen flickers press right and left bottom buttons, hold for 5+ seconds.
This will resolve the problem, if not:
Use nookRestore to restore /system (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1289233)
and then:
Update to 1.1 (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Soft...uch/379003175/)
eded333
Thank you for the reply.
I am sorry, I forgot to mention that I used both the forcefully reset option and the nook restore software, both of them did not change anything.
And it seems that you can not update your firmware unless you completed the initial setup.
So virtually I can not do anything right now.
Just do a data reset (the forced one) without the restore and try it.
I think you can update to the 1.1 not registering, getting into the factory mode:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20121721&postcount=17
and copying the 1.1 update the Nooks flash (not sdcard)
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-Simple-Touch/379003175/
Thank you for the advise!
Now I can go to the Home screen and at least can read something which I put into my Nook.
I am pretty relieved that my Nook is not complete useless.
But I still have that problem of not being able to sign in.
The same message appears every time I try to sign in or create a new account.
It would be great if I could get rid of this problem...

Try this:
Log onto the B&N website with your account (same as you try to sign in on)
Go to My Nook hover the picture and select "Erase and Deregister Device".
Now try to register from the NST again.
HI have search many post but feel like I am going round in circles.
I am just trying to get back to stock Froyo which the phone came with, it was bought new and unlocked from Ebay (e buyer I think).
Problem started when I noticed the phone kept freezing, pull batt, reboot, would freeze again within a few mins, guessed it must be a app playing up after an update or something.
So done a stock recovery but then it started with boot loops etc so tried wiping before and after, phone started but it would not start up wifi, done recovery again, got wifi working but then it would not open any browser. so after read lots of how to's I decided to use rsd lite and use 3.4.2 117 003 which was english retail but on loading i get checksum errors after group 33-34 and it fails.
I now only get the boot loader screen 9.10, code corrupt, batt ok, ok to program, how ever I try taking battery out putting back holding different buttons always this screen.
has this problem been solved? seen similar in other post but nothing saying it is solved
I just want back to stock and usable
Thanks in advance

still no browser, (application browser process com android.browser has stopped, please try again)
read about try to clear data by going into manage applications, I open the manage browser and it shows NO data for the app, does that mean it has not loaded correctly?
data does flow as I get gmail on both wifi and 3g
Force close after flashing only sbf? Try a system wipe, and ensure that your system partition has some free space
This looks like a eMMC problem, so if wiping doesn't work then it may not be fixable by software means

Not sure if I'm the only one, and if I am that really sucks, but I got tired of waiting for the OTA and decided to install the update via the fastboot method, unlocked my bootloader installed without a problem.
However the issue now seems to stem from transferring media files to my tablet, which I never had a problem doing, a pop up window will tell me that android.media.storage has stopped, giving me an option to report and to simply tap okay.
Not sure reporting ever does anything, and if it does I've never seen it change a single thing at all, but after I tap okay or send the report, any files transferring will just exit out, then if I unplug my usb and plug it back in, it doesn't seem to recognize the tablet at all.
I've so far remedied this, not sure if it's a permanent fix or temporary, by going into settings>apps>all, then from there tapping the app, clearing data and cache, restarting my tablet with a hard reset and it seems to be working for the moment.
However transferring files since the update are sluggish at best, and taking a 356MB folder of images used to take maybe a few minutes, 5 or 7 at the most, now it's hanging there at times with the transfer time increasing.
As a matter of fact I'm transferring said 356MB folder right now and it's stuck at 10 minutes to finish and hasn't moved for about 10 minutes.
If anybody else is having these problems, can you suggest ways you've fixed it? Or do I simply need to either do a factory reset or straight up flash it again to fix the problem?
Also, I made another article detailing my problems with updating, which I've since fixed obviously, but Recovery Mode isn't anywhere to be found, I do the regular method and before it showed the android with the red triangle and below him it would say no command, now it just shows the android with the same triangle with no wording underneath at all.
I've also re-downloaded the official factory image 4.4 from google's developer site and tried to manually flash recovery onto it, and it says that it succeeded but then when it goes back to fastboot and I choose recovery it loads then shows me the android with the red triangle.
I've even tried downgrading back to 4.3 but it tells me during the rewrite of the bootloader that there's a signature mismatch.
In addition, this should be the last revision to my issue, I've even tried re-flashing 4.4 and now that's kicking back an error saying there's a signature mismatch, so I can't go into recovery, I can't downgrade, I can't flash a recovery image to my tablet, I think I screwed up in ever updating to 4.4.
Im having the same problem with Media Storage when transferring pictures via Android File Transfer on Mac, tried it on Windows also, same problem.
It happens with my Nexus 4 on KitKat also!!
I still havent found a way to fix it, did you (OP) ever find a fix?
Cheers

Nope no fix yet, I haven't tried transferring a large number of files since, oddly enough, I finally did get the OTA update and it installed 4.4 again.
It didn't take long and the file size was puny, only about 32MB, I assume it installed what was missing, but I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary since the official updated kicked in.
Yeah I have the latest OTA also, but I am still having the same issue!!

Not really sure why it's different for you, like I said I got tired of waiting for the OTA and manually flashed the factory image, that's when the problems started, but after a few days I got a notification that the new update was ready which really confused me.
But I installed the downloaded update without a hitch, booted like normal and I just finished transferring a 100MB folder of images to my N7 without an error popping up on my tablet saying something crashed, so I can only assume for the moment until I transfer a larger folder, that the DL'd update fixed the problem.
I've also heard people flashing it again, or side loading it, or even a factory reset would fix the problem, but there weren't many replies as to this actually fixing the data transfer problem.
Problem with downloading ota update kitkat 4.4
I have stock rom and waited for the ota update. It came this morning and while downloading twice the verification failed.i rebooted and the screen came up download failed and had a retry button which i tried to activate and does nothing, The screen has been stuck on the return download for over 12 hours. My wifi connection is strong. Any ideas?

Take anything I say with a grain of salt as I'm not the greatest guy to ask for help, I only really ask questions here and I'm just going to suggest what to do, if you do it is up to you and I take no responsibility for your device having further issues.
1. Hard reset your device and upon it rebooting, check for the update again and try downloading it again
2. If that doesn't work then back up your data
3. After backing up your data do a factory reset on your device and once you've booted back up to Android, check for the update again and install
4. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what else to suggest, this is what I would do to try and fix the problem, but for my situation it was unique in that I tried fixing it various ways that seemed to make it worse before it got somehow better.
I hope issuing a factory reset works for you, if not then that hard reset does when you try to redownload the update.

Thanks for your reply back. Yep i also thought of the same 4 step solution as yourself but i also heard from 2 people that had the same thing happen to them and they thought it could be a goggle server problem, So i am going to wait to see if it sorts itself out over the next few days
