Hello everybody
i hope that i'm in the right forum and not breaking any rule or something..
I'll try to make it quick and reflective:
Got the above-mentioned tablet.
I made a lot of mistakes (in a row) that led me to the following situation:
- When turning on the tablet it stuck on the boot part ("For Those Who Do"). No existing rom (erased and wiped everything).
- The recovery mode has no option called "Install from sd card"/"flash from sd card" - only got "update from sd card", and its can't find the rom's zip file in the external sd card.
- No option right now to access internal sd card. it seems like the PC does recognize the tablet but not giving me an access to the internal sd.
- Fastboot stucked with the text: "Starting fastboot..."
What am i doing now?
Thanks!
:good:

Since a few days I try to connect my phone on my computer but each time I push the button "activate USB mass storage memory" my telephone reboots. I have the same result when I try to unmount my SD Card from: Options>Storage>Desactivate SD Card.
I tried to Format my Sd Card, to re partition it with Rom manager but it's always the same.
May-be a track: After formating my SD, if i try to connect my phone, every thing is fine. I imagine it comes from the folder ".android_secure" because when it's empty I can access my card but when it's full of my apps I can't, it reboots. Inside of it I have about 60 files for more or less 200Mo.
I even tried with another SD-Card and the result is the same.
May be something that could help: when I connect my phone the debug icon turns green.
Thank you by advance for any help you could give me.
Well, I tried something new after reading several posts in many differents forum.
First of all I tried to de select "USB debug" in "aplication>developpement" and I could connect my phone and see the content of my SD Card. My telephone didn't reboot.
Now, I've found an application called "Multi Mount SD-Card" that keeps me going in the menu Developpement each time to select or deselect "USB Debug". It works fine but I imagine it should'nt be like this.
Whatever, I've got the result I was expecting.
Ok everyone, I've tried to do it on my own a number of times and am failing, please help.
I just got a new nook simple touch and am looking to back it up.
Doing a google search lead me to the Backup/Restore N2E post.
The instructions say to:
1. Boot nook with noogie.img : (the "Rooted Forever" screen) and connect to your computer via USB.
2. Use DiskImager to copy your Nook partition to a file, being sure to select "Physical Disk" in the drop down list.
Step 1 seemed to work, I used winimage and wrote nookie.img onto a sd card
I put the sd card in the nook, let it reboot and was greeted with the "Rooted Forever" screen but it just sits there...not sure if that's the first problem.
Step 2, using DiskImager, I'm suppose to select Physical Disk. The challenge I'm having is there are 0-7 Physical Disks! My confusion is that none of the sizes are the 1.82 partition I'm reading about. I can see a 239.98 and 120.08 but no other physical drive besides my regular disk drive.
Please advise!
OK, I was attempting to root my Simple touch and apparently I pulled the SD card too early.
Now all I have is the Nook by Barnes and Noble screen flashing every 3 seconds and not going any farther.
I can hold the power button down for 30 seconds and get the Read Forever screen that says Your Nook is now starting up, then it goes back to flashing.
Has anyone run into this problem?? Is there a fix? I'd still like to root this touch.
I was able to root my kindle fire with a little finesse in the instructions and I love the abilities it now has.
I know the touch won't have that kind of capabilities but, I'd like it to have more than it came with.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try this:
Touch-Formatter v2
or
n2T-Recovery + Force reset and upgrade to 1.1.
Then re-root with TouchNooter or any flavour of MinimalTouch
EdEd333,
Thanks for the qiuick reply.
I'm using the CRM program, I think I have everything in the right place. The NST has booted with the logo, I'm able to move through the menus, get to the part to Choose zip from SD card and it's telling me E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip.
I don't know if it's reading the SD card in the NST as the E drive but, when I pull the card out and check it on my laptop, I don't see any files named update.zip.
Did I miss a file somewhere?
the Alpha-formattouch-2.zip file is on the card as well. I've looked at it on my computer and I don't see an update.zip there either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

You need to select "Choose zip from SD" or something to that effect.
Googie2149 is right.
I just updated the instructions on the thread.
This are the new steps for the v2 zip:
Copy the zip onto the root directory of the sdcard you burned the CWM.(Don't extract them)
Insert the sdcard on your nook, and boot it.
On CWM select install zip from sdcard
Then select choose zip from sdcard
Select Alpha-FormatTouch-2.zip, click yes and wait till the process finishes.
Go back, eject the sd card, and click reboot.
As my title says, the problem with my nook simple touch is that it will not go past the 'Read Forever' Screen.
Yes I have reset the device 8 times and watched the device reformat itself, it still does not go past the 'read forever' screen
The screen is responsive, because the clockwork mod (run off my SD card) navigates just fine
factory formats and manual formats (via clockworks), still do not get it past the read forever screen, although it says installation was successful.
I think the storage for my NST is the issue, and I want to exhaust all my options before spending $40 to trade in for a new one.
I have two questions
Is there a fix for my scenario?
Is it possible to boot straight from the SD card, bypassing my corrupt internal drive? some OS/thing that can be run right off the SD?
I just want to read books on my nook from my SD card, if I can get that I will be happy.
Does anyone have a solution?
I have a feeling my device is bricked, because even when I put touchnooter on my SD card and into my nook, the screen doesn't flash black as it is supposed to.
I would say if CWM recovery works then the hardware is mostly ok.
You could have screwed up the partitioning, that will prevent many things from working.
Try mounting everything in CWM, see if that work.
Hey,
I was able to mount everything except /data and /sd-ext, I got an "Error mounting" message.
First, if you can access /rom, adb pull everything and put it in a safe place on your desktop.
Um, I think that CWM has an option to format a partition?
Format /data.
Don't worry about sd-whatever. The stock CWM recovery has a strange config.
Then do a factory format.
I'm getting an error when i try to format /data, would that mean its permanently corrupt?
Do you have ADB over USB to the CWM?
If not, get that going. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/BN_Nook_Simple_Touch/Installing_ADB
Did you safely save away the files in /rom?
What error do you get when formatting?
Did you use a command like this?
Code:
busybox mkfs.ext2 -L data /dev/block/mmcblk1p8
After a few hours of trying--I just cant get the ADB working for my nook through CWM. Three different tutorials on how to set it up and still my computer doesn't detect the nook ADB.
I do not know how to access /rom, so no I have never saved it.
The error I get when formatting /data in CWM is "Error formatting /data!"
My device got stuck on this read forever bootloop out of nowhere. One day I was using it, then i don't use it for a week, and when I start it up again, its in a bootloop, and no reformatting seems to get it out of it.
With the Nook connected, check the device manager (devmgmt.msc).
There should be a line at the top for "Android Phone".
Treed off of that should be "Android Composite ADB Interface".
On your taskbar the little USB icon should have "Safely disconnect Android Composite ADB Interface".
Did you get this much working at least?
Hello all. I'm fairly new to phone modifications. Yesterday I rooted my phone successfully, installed TWRP successfully, installed and operated cyanogen mod 14 successfully. Upon discovering I had to install gapps I removed the micro sd card from my phone and placed it into my laptop via a sd to micro sd card converter. I placed the file for gapps onto my micro sd card and when I plugged my micro sd card into my phone and tried to load it up into recovery mode it would not work. When I pressed 'Install' on the twrp menu the menu froze. I repeated the process multiple times to see if it was some sort of bug but the same result appeared. Upon entering my micro sd card into my computer after to see the state of the installed files it mentioned corruption and that I could no longer access them. Currently I am left with a phone without an OS to operate on. Can I simply re-format my micro sd card, install cyanogen mod again and then re-install it? If not does anyone know of any way that I can revert settings? Unfortunately the backup I made for my phone prior to cyanogen mod flashing was lost in the micro sd card corruption. Wish I had made a backup to my computer now :/ appreciate any help <3
Yes you can reformat your SD and use it again. After formatting it (not as NTFS or Mac OS extended), move the CyanogenMod and Gapps zips to the SD, making sure to eject it. Then, with the phone powered off, put the SD card in the phone. Boot into TWRP, press install, find the CyanogenMod file, tap it, and hit "flash more files" or "add more zips" or whatever the button says (should be to the left of "install") then find the Gapps file, and tap it, then press install. Then wait for it to finish, and boot! Then you have CM and Gapps in one flash. I've never had an issue doing it this way. Cheers on joining the community, and good luck with your journey.
