Nook CM7-on-SD

I'm trying to load up the gapps ZIP, to get Market and my Google apps going.
1. The whole "press and hold for X seconds" on the power/n buttons ain't working too well for me. The thing keeps just loading normally or rebooting cuz I hold power too long or something).
2. When inside CM7, and I choose Reboot/REcovery, it actually skips the SD entirely and loads me into the original B&N on the machine itself. Derp.
I followed these instructions for installing CM7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
using the update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip as recommended by quinxy here:
http://quinxy.com/2011/04/01/comple...on-the-nook-color/comment-page-3/#comment-944
So, any tips or ideas on how to get into recovery (it's a CM7 install on SD) so I can put in Market and GAPPS?
I also noticed that when it boots, I'm in some black screen always and have to click power twice to actually get the CM7 desktop to show. Whassup with that?
edit: also, is there harm with installing CWM from ROM manager in this CM7 SD card install? Will it install it to the SD card, or to the Nook Color itself? Will it dork things up? I want to keep them separate (B&N on the machine, CM7/GB on the SD). Is this the reason I can't get into any kind of recovery mode, because I don't have CWM installed?

Which build of CM7 are you running? The more recent nightlies made the reboot into recovery process easier.

I'm really not sure -- I grabbed the one I was told to do in the post at:
http://quinxy.com/2011/04/01/comple...on-the-nook-color/comment-page-3/#comment-944
with a direct link to update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip, whatever that is. The file is here:
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/get/update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip
Since creating an install to SD is so brain-dead simple, I'm happy to switch over to something else if needed.
What about CWM? If I go to ROM manager, it tells me CWM isn't installed. If I install it - is it putting it to the SD or the machine itself? I'd really love to keep it internally clean, all on the SD.

You should be running at least the latest stable build, 7.0.3. If you're more daring, like me, you can install the latest nightly, which may in the 100's now (I haven't checked in a couple days).
I honestly haven't done anything in ROM manager yet so I can't offer any advice there. I've had problems with it and don't care eenough to troubleshoot. I use Win32imager to make img backups of my install.

I just went here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore
and grabbed the top one, cm_encore_full-106.zip, and it is installing to the card now, we'll give it a shot and see how well it works. I'm *assuming* these are all CM7.
edit: I got a different boot splash screen than the previous one, so that's a bonus. Nicer boot animation. Crossing fingers that it doesn't start up in sleep mode like the other build package did (always had to toggle power button to get the desktop to show after a boot). Yar, desktop!
OK, now to see if this thing will reboot into recovery....

Yup, that should do it. Didn't realize we were up to 106 already!! CM7 is short for Cyanogen mod 7, so yes, they're all CM7 See how 106 works for you.

You're a genius - it was a crappy build of CM7 I must've flashed first. The latest did the trick. Nice boot anim, came right to desktop, rebooting into recovery picked up the gapps zip and installed it.
Thanks for the advice. I'll make a restore point with Win32Image thingy now. Thanks again for your help.

You're welcome. Make sure to "thank" me. I just started posting here and wouldnt mind a little color on my thank o meter
I'm not a genuis, that would be the guys who made cm7. I'm nowhere near that smart.

Ha! I have no idea, like I said, I just started posting here so I have no idea how to do it either. Maybe someone smarter than I will post with the answer.

Well, GAPPS is installed -sort of- but now stuck at "SETUP WIZARD" at the top whenever I boot the nook. Softkeys are not responding, the only thing that does is the notifications pulldown. No desktop, just a big fat "SETUP WIZARD" at the top, and black screen.
Grrr.
edit: Rebooted it, and now have a nice normal set up screen. Yay.

Maybe an obvious question, but did you make sure to setup your WiFi connection before installing the gapps? One time I was in a hurry and installed gapps before setting up my WiFi and I had to start over

I did that twice already, but even with setting up wifi, i got that setup wizard glitch (which went away when I simply rebooted). It looked a lot like a set up screen for gapps that didn't render quite right. It's probably an artifact from being on the most bleeding edge nightly....
it's all up and running though, and looking very nice. love the fact it's all on the SD - so very, very nice.

I'm glad you got it working. I think I got that weird gapps glitch one time but yeah, it goes away after a reboot.
I too LOVE that it's all off the SD card. My daughter (3) likes a couple apps that I have on the Barnes and Noble interface, so about once a week I boot into that (its horrid by the way once you've been running CM7 for a while). I'm going to be helping a friend get CM7 on his viewsonic g tablet this weekend and thats a full flash to main memory install. Makes me a bit more neervous but it looks pretty straight forward.
By the way, I highly recommend Launcher Pro, with the unlocker (a couple bucks). it makes everything soooooo smooth.

I use LP on my EVO (running rooted w/a cleaned up Sense ROM w/o any sprint bloat). I love it. I find GO launcher, ADW and LP all have very similar features.
I have a few paid apps (Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, Beautiful Widgets) - that I bought with the Evo and are working here, was able to DL and install them from Market - so that's handy.
Although "Move to SD Card" seems sorta "huh, wha?" now.
I haven't overclocked my nook yet - think it's something I should do? I read about some kernel tweak to kick it up to 1.1GHz. The final thing I need to do is get Netflix working on here, then I'll be content.

I'm running LP on my HTC Desire and its awesome. not necessarily better than sense, but its fresh, like a new phone almost.
I have NO idea what "move to SD card" does if you're running on an SD card. I'd love an explanation from someone on that.
I can help you get Netflix going if you need help. That's my number one favorite app on my Nook Color. That alone made installing CM7 worth it. Nothing better than sitting in bed at night watching movies on it.
Oh yeah, under Cyanegon Mod settings, find tablet tweaks (careful, dragons ahead), and you can easily overclock the CPU to 925 MHz right there. I don't know a way of setting it higher while running off an SD card. If you figure it out, point me in the right direction please?

I wouldn't mind some help getting Netflix going, if you would please. I noticed it's not even appearing in the Market (I think Market changed a bit to filter out unsupported apps now).
As far as moving to SD card - I did notice a few glitches. Things like moving Facebook caused Facebook's contact/feed syncing to break and vanish. I suppose anything that needs background processes are going to be flakey. There were other ones, like Word for Friends that also glitched on me. I just moved them back to "phone" and they worked again.
Not really pressed for space - but yeah, minor bugs there.
So....netflix?

Found an APK I was able to side-load, but Netflix is all chipmunk-y!

Someone has a download link to the apk file on these forums. Look around for that. Tell your Nook to install third party apps. Install the program after downloading that.
Install Root Explorer and allow it super user access. Open up the system folder and mount r/w. Open up build.prop in the text editor. Change the following lines to match this.
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
The first one normally says NookColor and the seconds says bn.
save the file and restart the device. Netflix should work like a charm, and best of all, the Android Marketplace does not break. Although the market will think you have an HTC Vision
Modifying the build.prop file fixes the chimpmonk problem by the way.

For some reason, Root Explorer (and SU) don't think it's rooted. I see SU installed and when I launch it, it tries to update itself, and says something like "failed to update, probably from not being rooted - zip put on sd card, flash it in recovery."
Root Explorer doesn't give me my usual option to flip to R/W mode and edit files. I tried installing Busybox, too - and that thing complained about not being rooted as well.
So, dunno why - but this doesn't seem to think it's rooted. Odd, considering it all exists on the SD card.
Any clues?

How to REALLY Root and update your 2.2.1 Slide to cyanogen 7 - Noob Edition Summer 11

You have undoubtedly seen lot of Rooting guides for the Mytouch 3G Slide, claiming to root the phone:
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_myTouch_Slide:_Full_Update_Guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108316 New way to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999121 Ultra Easy Rooter [dbzfanatic][xologist]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025336 How-To [Root][NewLinks] The myTouch 3GS if you updated to Offical 2.2.1 and lost root
SuperOneClick doesn't work. Nothing works, I've tried them all several times from several different angles. Therer is some sort of NAND lock on the phone, above and beyond typical. Anyways.
None of the aformentioned guides work, so won't waste your time like I did. They are also all written by people who can not communicate well with other human life forms, and they assume you have a CS and/or IS degree, and also assume you have all the software installed on your machine that they have on theirs, and have all the same settings on your phone that you "should" have on yours and they also assume you are doing some "obvious" steps in the middle of their steps that you should know how to do. They won't tell you that, but they do. So here is the REAL definitive step by step guide, with pics, on how to do it. BTW, you don't need a gold card. You don't need to mess with any consol crap. This should take 15-20 minutes max. What we're basically going to be doing is downgrading to 2.1-update1, then rooting, then putting on the Cyanogen Mod, then adding the google apps (which are not included in the cyanogen mod). I've put as many pics as I could and tried to do a step by step that ANYONE can follow.
I was using Windows 7 64-bit SP1 and I think these are the things that you need to have set up, you may not need them but I was trying so many of everything that I don't even know if they are all required, I'm sure I missed some things, but I will keep editing this guide as needed)
*Make sure you have at least 25MB of free space on your phone's internal memory.
*Make sure you've backed everything up you want to (text messages, bookmarks, programs, etc) But the google cloud should keep most your other stuff okay. (email etc) http://tinyurl.com/3b4qp6q
*Turn USB Debugging on your phone. (Settings, applications, development > USB Debugging - check)
*Turn phone to charge mode only when you plug in the USB cable
*PDAnet was running on the PC (This is required it will install the correct driver for step 1, though it's a tethering app and you won't need it for that) - http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php
1. Plug in phone and go to device manager from control panel on your computer.
You open the "Android USB Devices" and see what driver it says.
If it says something like "Mytouch Slide 3G"

}
go to Update driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick
pick this one: "ADB Device Interface" , say okay, etc.
If it does say "ADB Drvice Interface" you're good. Exit out of that.
2. Download "T-Mobile_myTouch_3G_Slide_Software_Update_2.15.531.3.exe" from here http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-slide/downloads/ (157MB)
3. Go to your temp windows folder. IF you do Start > Search %TEMP% it should pop up. Keep on eye on this folder as you do the next step. (Maybe sort by date modified to help)
4. Double Click the "T-Mobile_myTouch_3G_Slide_Software_Update_2.15.531.3.exe" file and have it extract everything. At the first main screen, just wait there with it open and not installed.
You hopefully should have seen some folders be created in your temp file. There were 2 on mine, like so, check them both out:
When you see the one that looks like this:
and has a folder structure like this:
that's the folder you want to copy. So:
5. Highlight the folder with "ARUWizard.exe" and "rom.zip" in it. Mine had about 74 files in it. Copy it, and copy it to another part of your hard drive, and rename that awful folder, sheesh. (not needed)
6. You can close out of the Rom Update Utility.
7. In that NEW copied folder, delete "rom.zip"
8. Download the ~140 MB "ESPRIMG.zip" from here: http://www.4shared.com/file/OsmF_ZD7/ESPRIMG.html
9. Put it into the folder that we copied out, and rename it from ESPRIMG.zip TO rom.zip
10. Now, while you are in that folder, "ARUWizard.exe" check check, next, etc.
11. This will downgrade your phone from 2.2.1 to 2.1-update1
12. Tada! Good job. Now, go download the lastest Cyanogen firmware ROM here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=espresso
13. Rename the "update-cm-7.X.X-Slide-signed.zip" to "update.zip"
14. While you are doing this, download the lastest Google Apps from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Google_Apps Mine was called "gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip" and put that on your phone's memory card as well, no renaming needed.
15. Turn off your phone and take out the memory card and put it in your computer (or turn the phone back into a mountable drive) and copy over the update.zip onto the root director of your memory card.
16. Hold "down volume" and "power" which will boot you into a techy looking screen. Ignore any errors, the volume up and down navigates, so go into "Recovery" Mode.
17. Once in the Recovery, you will see a device with a triangle. Press "Volume Up" & the "Power" button.
18. Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset. Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
19. See the option to "apply sdcard:update.zip" ? Do it, with power as confirm. This will put the Cyanogen mod on your phone!
20. Reboot system now. Now, you should boot into Cyanogen 2.3.x! However, you will notice you don't have any of the google apps.
21. So, Now, go into your programs on the phone, and you will see "Rom Manager" a eye with a tophat. Say "Install Rom from SD Card" and pick the "gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip" You may have to fiddle with the plugging in USB/etc to get access to this, you don't have to buy the program, it will do it, but you have to have it set up so you can see the MicroSDcard, etc.
It will reboot your phone and you will now and install all the google apps. The most important one is MARKET, so you can download stuff. It will now go through all the TOS for each google program you said you want. The rest the wizard should navigate you through properly.
Holy hell this was a terribly troubleshooting process which probably took me 20 hours to figure out they were ALL wrong. Big thanks to "Da Maestro" who helped me on Cyanogenmod.
Enjoy!

wait wait wait... so will this method revert the hboot from 1. whatever to the older version and allow S-OFF?!

yeah, I don't even know what you're saying, I'm such the nube. I don't think this deals with the S-On/Off problem though. I saw some other posts that fixed that. This method does nothing to do with that, as far as I know
All I'm saying is I have Cyanogen 7 on my phone and this is how I did it from 2.2.1 stock.

as far as i'm aware of, there's no S-OFF after you upgrade to 2.2.1, so i was thinking if you can check your hboot by powering off your phone and then turn it on by holding down volume down and power button. hboot version should be on the very top of your screen.

Bootloader error
I get 140 bootloader version error from the RUU. So far I have not been able to get any of the root mrthods to work with my slide.
Any ideas?

Well at least your not alone in that club. Getting the same error, even using a goldcard. I guess back to the drawing board for us at least.

yeah I had that error too,
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/28205-stuck-on-step-8-rooting/
EDIT: To fix it, make sure PDANet it installed and that will install the driver so you can change it from "t-mobile mytouch 3G" to "ADB Device..." It's step 1.

That is one thing I didn't see, although upon checking it,s not there, and I do have the android SDK installed :/
If it helps any I'm on windows 7 ultimate x64 (since the problem seems driver related).
*edit 1* I keep seeing places where it says to check for the ADB interface driver, but nobody seems to know how to actually install said driver, or where it can be found at.
*edit 2* Turns out that PDAnet is what supplies the ADB driver, so as it happens that IS required (and here I thought that was a stupid tethering app)
*Edit 3* So just to make sure I downloaded the software on the posted links just to make sure some of the other versions I had were not incompatable, and still no joy. At this point I've spent a good 6 hours trying to root this phone and growing significantly more annoyed with it. If anyone has any feel free to contact me, I'd really like to get this working.

hey thanks, I'll edit the guide to say it's required.

Same here, went through all of the steps, still keep getting the 140 error.
edit* went all the way through the steps again very thoroughly, still getting the same error 140. Any Ideas?

It was such a complicated process, dealing with all the other guides some part of them may have worked that I missed. Maybe you do indeed need to make a gold card. It didn't work (I think) on one MicroSD card so I changed to another one.
So I guess make a gold card and give it a try. This is the guide I used to make a gold card:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Create_a_Goldcard
Thanks for helping me get this guide correct.
One thing I did have to do is change USB ports and USB cables, as stupid as that is, I know, I know. The ones in my monitor worked but the front ones on my computer didn't work with the ROM update utility, but I think the error code I was getting was 170 or 171 USB disconnect error.

What if you were to save that rom.zip file directly on the SD card, as the update.zip file first? Would that load 2.1? Because the installer wont.
I'm going to try it....
Nope, didn't work.

The gold card would be great if I had a second sd card, guess I will have to go buy one if I want to regain root.

the gold card worked for me just fine after getting my replacement phone on 2.2.1 all i did was back up everything on my sd card make and use the gold card get root and put every thing back on my sd card just fine.

Yes, its installed and running. Also, I made a gold card out of my SD card and tried again, and still got the same error. I am starting to hate T-Mobile!

I'm kinda confused why there is gold card discussion here. The method outlined in the first post specifically says that you don't need a gold card. Does this method not work and is that why you are trying gold card stuff?

I don't think should have it running while you root. (I would assume that would just cause problems.) You just need to install it for the usb drivers and make sure it works.

[Q] New to forums, new to rooting

Hello everyone.
I'm new to rooting, however, I have managed to root my SM-N9005. I followed a long and for me; difficult process, but I got there in the end. Odin, Tar file & SuperSU all led me to where I am now. My friend told me that I should be using Cyanogen Mod; which is installed. But I've noticed a few perplexing issues which I'm hoping you clever guys might be able to help me out with.
1) Since Modding, my SD card is no longer showing up in "My Computer" when I click on the phone icon. It is still there according to the "Storage" options on the phone and it is populated, but not showing up in my computer.
2) We have a number of devices in our house. 10" tablets, 7" tablets & various android phones. All these show up when I go to Google store, however, since the root, mine is nowhere to be found and I have no idea what to do. I cannot add software old or new, unless I go down the torrent route. MY friend told me that I should install "[GAPPS][4.4.x/4.3.x] OFFICIAL Up-to-Date PA-GOOGLE APPS (All ROM's) [2014-06-08]" as this would solve my issue. So I installed it to my SD card, booted up with Vol up, Power on & home button, selected load zip.... = Fail
Look guys, I'm an old man who suffers from dyslexia, I have honestly tried my hardest, but I'm stumped.
I throw myself at your mercy and beg you for help.
Many thanks in advance.

To make this clear.
1) Factory Reset your phone using odin and install latest firmware that can be downloaded here.
2) Flash your phone using odin. Just get rid of Cyanogen Mod first. (Install it later if you want)
3 After flashing stock rom, Check your SD card is it working or not.
4) If you want to root your phone you can go here and download appropriate file( Which is if you download latest firmware, it should be KK 4.4.2)
4) Flash the file using Odin.
5) If ONLY the problem of SD Card still occur, Try this one here.
Troubleshooting
1) If you are in stock rom and you dont have any problem with SDCARD, then it should be the CyanogenMod problem (I'd never install this rom so i don't know). You can ask on CyanogenMod Thread.

@Wulfrune :
in addition to @IzArsha post,
if you have problem with internal SD card, coming from CM/AOSP to TW rom,
you can try this.

IzArsha said:
To make this clear.
1) Factory Reset your phone using odin and install latest firmware that can be downloaded here.
2) Flash your phone using odin. Just get rid of Cyanogen Mod first. (Install it later if you want)
3 After flashing stock rom, Check your SD card is it working or not.
4) If you want to root your phone you can go here and download appropriate file( Which is if you download latest firmware, it should be KK 4.4.2)
4) Flash the file using Odin.
5) If ONLY the problem of SD Card still occur, Try this one here.

Thank you for the reply.
However, please understand that you're talking to someone with ZERO experience of rooting and in a nutshell..... I'm afraid I've almost no idea what you're talking about The way I usually get around this is to follow video advice.
I will try my very best to get around this problem, but it's abundantly clear to me that I'm in over my head and that it was clearly a huge mistake on my behalf messing around with the phone in the first place. I just HATE the way Samsung think that just because I bought their phone that they own a piece of me.
Given my above statement, I will of course understand if you've no wish to spoon feed me through this process..... But if you can be of further help, I will of course, be very grateful.
The main thing is, you had noble intentions and wanted to help and I think you sincerely for that.

Sadly, still no sign of the SD card in my computer
Any more ideas?
Thanks

Okay just forgot root method first. After you flash stock rom, still no Sd card shown on your computer? it might be your driver is not up to date. Download the PC driver here and reboot your pc and connect your phone and see how it goes shall we?

Here's an update on the state of play .
I have upon advice here updated to Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones 1.5.29.0.
I have also changed out my 64gb SD and tried a different one. whilst it still didn't show up in my computer, it did enable me to load up Google's stock package, which in turn, via play store app on the phone lets me load apps again.
I have come to the conclusion that Cyanogenmod might not have been the best route for me and that I'd probably be better off without it. I'm pretty sure it may even go a long way to solving the issues I'm having with the SD card not showing up.
So..........
2 things.....
1) Can someone tell me the safe way to remove Cyanogenmod
&
2) Can someone please suggest a replacement that will fully work with the SM-N9005 please?
Many thanks for you help so far.

}
Installation steps:​
Please make sure all your data and files are backed up before commencing. Flashing OxygenOS onto CM does require a system wipe, so you will lose all of your data. We are actively working on an easier, more automated solution soon to be available, but for now the build must be flashed manually.
Please proceed only if you are confident in your abilities to flash a custom ROM. This guide exists to help you flash OxygenOS, but things can still go wrong if not followed correctly. While rooting and flashing will not void your OnePlus warranty, any damage caused by improper flashing is not covered under warranty.
The following instructions assume you have Fastboot and ADB installed.
Step 1
You first need to flash a recovery onto your device. We recommend using TWRP. Please download the recovery image to your computer. You can follow their instructions to flash recovery, or you can reference these steps:
Boot into fastboot mode. You can do this on your OnePlus One by holding down the power button and the volume up button. When you see the fastboot logo, connect your device to your computer.
In your terminal window, find the folder where you put the recovery image and run the following commands:
fastboot oem unlock (You can skip this step if your phone’s bootloader is already unlocked).
fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>. Image file should be the TWRP recovery image.
fastboot reboot
You should now have the recovery installed.
Step 2
Copy oxygenos_1.0.0.flashable.zip to your phone. On a Mac, you can use Android File Transfer.
Step 3
Boot into recovery. You can do this on your OnePlus One by holding down both the volume down key and the power button.
Step 4
Once you are in the recovery interface, the first thing you want to do is a factory reset. Again, you will lose all your data so please make sure you have backed up everything before doing this.
Step 5
After the wipe, go to install and find oxygenos_1.0.0.flashable.zip. Confirm flash. This will flash OxygenOS onto your device.
Step 6
After the flash succeeds, you can reboot the device, which will take you to the new OxygenOS. Enjoy!
If you find yourself wanting to rollback to CM, Make sure you have TWRP or CM recovery on the device. Another factory reset will be needed before flashing unfortunately so make sure you backup all of you data.

Did you extract the zip? There is a flashable zip in the zip you downloaded.

There is a zip inside downloaded zip! Flash that.

Thank you to developers of the stuff I used and other devs in the XDA, and the community to make the support for this device possible in this day and age. Thank you for reading this too.
My Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3100)
Custom ROM: ResurrectionRemix v5.7.4 by @smart-t78, @Android-Andi, @Ziyan
Custom Kernel: Noob Kernel 22-01-2019 by @bipindr123
(Gapps pico package for Android 6)
Problem I had:
- extSD Card slot dead.
- Power button plastic button is gone, so I had to use pen to boot the device.
Extra stuff I did:
Installed Lawnchair 2 because the default homescreen has ugly shadow overlay on left and right sides of the screen when rotated on landscape.
Used Fontster (XDA thread download link dead) to change system wide font to Open Sans. (I wanted Google sans, but I'm okay with it)
Installed Seven Time - Resizable Clock to have a black colored clock widget because the default clock widget is unable to apply customizations.
Installed Nexa Icon Pack
Rooted with SuperSU using Custom Recovery; TWRP
Installed SmartPack Kernel Manager to tweak CPU governor, GPU governor, and I/O Scheduler. I basically wanted to make 2 profiles, a battery saver and other balanced. (If you insist, I will share what are my profiles exactly. But I know the profiles vary user-to-user, so you are better making your own following this guide and knowing what governors your rom supports)
Just in case if someone wanted to replicate the same customizations, here are some instructions:
The usual discretion:
I am not responsible for any bricked devices or anything you break something in the process. Please do some research on your own to stay on the safety zone.
Install a workable custom recovery like TWRP. There's some guide in the Samsung Tab 2 forums which has a method of rooting and installing TWRP, at the same time through Odin. But I say you should flash the modded TWRP by @Android-Andi to have the best chance of installing RR rom.
After getting to TWRP (By turning your device off and then pressing and holding Power + Volm Up buttons together), wipe everything. Whatever you see dalvik, cache, internal storage, system storage. Just tick all and wipe.
Copy the ResurrectionRemix LATEST ROM .zip file, and Noob Kernel .zip, and your choice of Gapps.zip package in an external SD Card. Now read this carefully: Make sure you download the latest RR from the androidhost link in that thread, LOOK AT THE UPLOAD DATE. I'd gone with the, "Top one must be the latest" rule and downloaded the oldest RR version.
Of course, you need that SD card chip put inside your Tab, but here's one thing I just wanted to say: My Tab had the extSD card slot damaged, so I had to first copy those files (3) from my PC to Tab's internal storage while on TWRP mode (after wiping). Fortunately, TWRP allows tab to connect to PC and do the file transferring normally. And flashing the files from internal storage worked!
Now after you had wiped the whole Tab, go to Install and first install RR.zip, then do wipe dalvik/cache (There will be an option on screen after RR installation has finished), then install the NoobKernel.zip, wipe dalvik/cache, then install gapps. Now follow step 6.
DON'T reboot system from there. Back, Back, Back to TWRP home screen, and power off the device from "Reboot". And power on from power button.
Congratulation if you see the Resurrection Remix animation boot screen and it will do the apps optimization loading, and then you will be in the Welcome-screen of the ROM.
Feelings:
This tablet was like a decade old and all this time it was in some garbage place. It also had some worms in cocoon inside . I dissemble it. Cleaned with ISO propyl. Then searched XDA forum and installed RR after a lot of research spanning 3 days. Now when I see my boi ON, it makes me smile with tears. I had so many memories with tablet when I was a child. I used to play Jet pack Joyride and Clash of Clans and some more damn nostalgic games. It made me happy to see it alive right now. I plan to use it as secondary monitor with the help of spacedesk app and my router. I will suggest if you have some old devices hanging in the garbage-yard, take it out and do some custom ROM installations, modify it and enjoy the nostalgic beauty moment at the time.
You can also share your reviving journey in this thread, or any other stories about your Tab you have.
