I've got a Nook ST with Glowlight i've rooted about a month ago. Everything's was fine the first few weeks. I've returned from a weeklong trip and suddenly my Nook won't stay connected to Wifi. The connection will stay up, but only for the first minute or so from bootup. Turning the Nook off and on seems to fix the problem, but only momentarily. The message I receive, along with a greyed out wifi box, is "Unable to stop Wi-Fi."
Google shows a few Color/Tablet users reporting a similar problem and its cause being a faulty wifi switch.
I was curious if anyone's had this problem or can recommend a way to a solution for me. I'm unable to factory reset and reroot it at the moment, but this weekend I should have the time to try it.
i guess u have problem with wifi driver ..... i have no idea about how i can reinstall it , but i can help u reroot ur device safely and update ur device with latest firmware 1.1.2 from BN that can replace/overwrite on missing/corrupted files in ur system that make ur problem
good luck

I recieved this phone yesterday so plugged in to pc and was offered 2 updates.
The first went fine but the second crashed with an error showing in Zune.
Managed to get it to reboot and it now shows 7.0.7392.0 but is very unstable, it will reboot itself after a while and it doesn't matter what program I am using, all seem to make it crash.
It will get stuck at the "Samsung Omina 7" screen unless I take the battery out for 5 mins
I also can have problems turning the device off, sometimes it will just come back on and refuse to be turned off !
I am thinking its either overheating or corrupted software ?
Any ideas as what I could try before it goes back ?
Flash stock ROM, the update went wrong appearantly.
Try to recover in Zune maybe first
I was able to recover/roll back to previous firmware with Zune but it didn't fix the problems.
Replacement on its way for Friday
Thanks for your replies
It's your problem,not phone 's,friend.what I puzzle,why donot update to mongo beta?it runs stable and you will have a better experience.and how to flash stock rom or roll back to 7004,you should have a look at tutorial threads.
I now realise that the update failed due to the phone
crashing during the process.
I have updated the new phone and her sisters without a hitch this time
Don't want to play with Roms etc as I have had enough that on my
Galaxy S !
it seems like my problem .. I can't use my phone couse it's usually shut down by itself..
it's a hardware issue .. return it back and get a new one before you leave the place like I did ..
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).

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/)

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.
So here's the deal;
I used CF Auto-Root to root my phone a while back with no issues. Today, I made a full CWM backup and I decided to flash ForceROM 2.3 just to see what it was like. After I flashed it, I kept getting "Failed to obtain ip" in the WiFi for my network, so I thought maybe there was an issue and restored the backup (partially because I couldn't get it working and partially because I had forgotten what all I had before flashing. D'oh).
My problem is I'm still getting the "Failed to obtain ip" error when trying to connect to WiFi. I've tried rebooting the phone, taking the battery out, resetting the router, forgetting the network and reconnecting, double- and triple-checked the encryption key, and tried the WPS function. It was working just fine on this network earlier today and even after I rooted it.
Any ideas what this could be? It was so sudden I honestly have no clue, and the only thing I can think of is something with the ROM but I wouldn't even know where to begin when trying to fix it x_x
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.

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

That could be too, just thought I'd take a shot, hope it works out for you.:good:
Hi everyone,
i am having a SM-G900F (it is t-mobile). It is on stock lollipop LRX21T.G900FXXU1BNL9 with modem and bootloader BOB7 (which i flashed a week ago).
I have problems since the last 2-3 days, my phone is connected to a working WiFi or mobile data and everything seems alright, but it isn't, i don't have any internet access. I have to turn of WiFi or mobile data and turn it on and eventually it starts working again :S
Does anyone has an idea what the problem may cause and how should i fix it? Thanks in advance
EDIT: Also if i take out the battery of my phone and turn it on afterwards, it turns off but with a black screen, and i get a "System fc", and i have to try to turn it on a few times to get it work like it should, but if i turn off the phone without taking out the battery it turns on just fine everytime
First thing Id try is clearing CACHE from Recovery
Did you factory reset after updating to Lollipop from KK? It is needed to get rid of left over bugs / files from KK

When i bought the phone (used) it already had lollipop on it. I tried clearing cache+dalvik cache but still the same, but didn't tried a factory reset, right now i am downloading a custom rom, will wipe everything and see what happens after that.
Some strange thing that i noticed is, that the internet now won't work for any app escept for viber, on viber it works without problems
Right now i have flashed another ROM with wipe-ing everything before and i have still problems with the internet :S
i don't know what do to now :/
EDIT: Data is working, but wifi connects but no internet :/
EDIT2: I've found out what the problem is, it wasn't my phone, it was some weird virus which changed my routers DNS settings
