I purchased a nook color the other day and successfully rooted and used it for a few days. My youtube would not open so I reinstalled, it ran once and then failed to open again so I gave up on that issue. In reading about youtube app I found that you could get the new market app. I could not get it to install...and in trying multiple things I accidentally deleted my original market app.
I could not get it back so I whiped my nook color and reflashed autonooter. I got all my apps back but I get a connection error when trying to access the market now. I added my account via youtube which again opened once to allow me to sign in and now fails to open.
So I decided to try to reset it back to the way it was out of the box and start from scratch.
I tried the adb 8x reboot method.....it just reboots the nook as it normally would. No bootloader or install screen.
I tried the button method. It works once or twice then it goes through the entire boot. I did it for a half hour and used counts to verify I was doing the process correctly and no matter what I did I could get it to fail boot once and one the second or third it would always bypass and go through with boot even with my finger on the button.
I also am running windows 7 64bit and I cannot get my computer to see "nook" in the device manager for more than a second and it auto installs as a storage device. I've tried to "uninstall" the different devices and last night I was able to catch the "nook" in time to install usb drivers manually but when I reset the nook today my PC no longer see's it again. I was wondering if there is an easier way to install the adb device.
Thanks
UPDATE: Somehow the ADB way to reflash worked the second time I tried it. I also changed some settings in the development menu to fix the device manager issue. I'll update again if I can use youtube and the market.
I don't know what to tell you about everything else but for ADB I would highly recommend adbWireless... it works great on my NC and I never had to install any drivers.
To reset I used the button and counted slow to 15 after the screen gose off each time it worked for me. Good luck
Dear Sir/Madam,
Before Spring Break, I rooted my droid bionic using motofail for windows. I do not know what the software version is, but I will include the software (motofail) in this email. On Thursday March 28, 2012 I decided to try installing ROMs to my Droid Bionic. I saw that Liberty Rom, Blurr3d Rom, and Eclipse Rom were cool roms. so first, I got Bootstrap (I will include it in this email) Bootstrap is a .apk file. I also got ROM manager, titanium backup, and one more, but i do not recall what it was. I made a backup of the stock ROM with ROM manager. and i installed bootstrap. little did i know that if something bad happens to the phone during a ROM install, you cannot restore a previous backup. So i cannot get my stock ROM back on. later on, before i had a problem with bootsrap i installed liberty ROM. then i got board with it then got blurr3d. then i got eclipse ROM. that's when i started to have problems. After i installed the eclipse ROM, noticed that i could not get any cell service or data service. I could get data from wifi though. So i freaked out and got liberty ROM. i read up on it and someone said i should get safestrap. Safestrap is like bootstrap but it is safer because you can access the recovery menu from boot and not have to access it through an application on the phone like with bootstrap. So after i got safestrap i installed it, rebooted it and made a back up. Before i made the backup i put plurr3d back on becasue i thought that the radio files from eclipse were not compatible with the radios on the bionic for some reason. This was all on Thursday. well, this time, it took 3-4 hours for blurr3d to get passed the welcome to andorid please touch the android to continue screen. on the screen it said, "please wait... this may take a few mins" after about 20 mins i got worried so I pulled the battery and rebooted the phone. and got back to the same screen. After i got back to the welcome to android screen, i had to go to football practice and dinner afterwards. when i got home, which was 3-4 hours later, I checked on the phone and it was past that screen and i was able to add my gmail account to it. For some reason or another, the cell and data services were not working. so i left it at that for a day or so and on Friday, I tried using what a lot of people are saying on the Internet which is, RSD lite. you can use RDS lite to flash a stock ROM onto the droid bionic. at that point, i thought that if i got the stock ROM back on, the radios would start working again. well, when I put the phone into fastboot mode it said,
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
0A.61
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
DATA Cable
It also said the same thing when i connected the USB cable to the phone and the computer. RSD lite did not recognize the phone so i tried for a couple hours with the same result. Later on, I read that restarting the computer with the phone in AP Fastboot while the phone was plugged in would get the phone to say,
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
0A.61
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
This worked, but RSD lite still would not recognize the phone. So then i remembered that i had a stock ROM backup with bootstrap and i did. so i un-installed safestrap (one of the worst mistakes i made so far) and installed bootstrap. so i booted into recovery via bootstrap to restore to stock ROM. things did not go as planned... for some reason or another, it booted up normally. without going to recovery. then it wont to the dual core screen then the bionic eye screen with someone's ROM underneath it (it didn't say someones ROM but it said some one's name then the word ROM) then blurr3d ROM booted up and it kept crashing. so i ended up staying up to around 2-4 AM trying to fix that. i ended up saying forget this and going to sleep.
When i woke up in the morning, i looked at the phone and i had my data and my cell service back so i was confused so i started texting my friends and when i tried to go tot he home screen, nothing happens. but what i learned earlier is that when i reboot the phone, my data and cell service goes away for a couple of hours. So here i am now with my droid bionic, and cant do anything but text and call. i can only call when i get a text from someone, open up the text, and click on the phone number and click call when it brings me to the contact page for the number. I am also not able to access the home screen, the settings folder, or anything besides the notification bar. i really need my phone to use email, games, software (learning how to write java code), and for school in some instances. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time,

Seems to me...you lost data along the way.
A possible reason rsdlite is not recognizing your phone might be because you dont have the proper moto drivers installed.
Try this rsdlite and install the correct drivers for your pc...http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63864500/rsd_drivers.zip
Make sure your battery does not die!
Boot into AP fasboot (power and down volume)
Use the cable that came with your phone.
See if rsdlite recognizes the phone.
If it does, you can flash the full 902 xml file (make sure your pc has 4g of RAM tho)
Do you have the full 902 xml file...if not, let me know.
Drivers
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have the correct drivers installed. When i connect the phone regulry once it is all booted up, i am able to access the sd card and the internal storage via windows explorer.The problem is that the phone refuses to connect to the computer in fastboot mode. i do not want to risk rebooting unless it is guaranteed to work 100% because I can still text and call on it for some reason. Every time the phone is restarted, the radios stop working for a while and i need to be able to text my parents where and when to pick me up from school.
Thank you for your time,
NH85
i notice that you didn't once mention a wipe data or otherwise cleaning of previous ROM before flashing another (correct me if im wrong). also DO NOT have bootstrap and safestrap installed at the same time, this could be what caused all your problems. in order to switch between the two (which i've had to do for webtop issue), you have to return to STOCK +root, uninstall the currently used strapper, reboot, then install the other. things start getting even hairier if you forget that safestrap has both a safe/non-safe system. you need to be doing the switch on the non-safe system if necessary.
the purpose of safe-strap isn't that it can boot to recovery, it's that it *creates a an isolated ROM installation while preserving your "safe" system in case things like everything your experiencing occur. from what i can tell, you did not change to safe system before flashing new ROMs, again correct me if im wrong. at any rate, a bit of advice for the future is follow directions to the dot, but before even attempting the install read through AT LEAST 3 or 4 pages of user feedback to see what the common issues or install goofs are!
that being said...
having your computer recognize the phone as storage device does not necessarily mean you have the right drivers installed, however it does mean that you probably have the right cable (this is important, bionic is finicky without the proper moto cable). you will know if you have the right drivers if you see in device manager Motorola ADB. when you plug your USB cable in, there should be an option for "PC Mode" which will force the computer to search for the drivers you claim to have installed correctly. if not found, here is your chance to install them properly and test RSD to make sure device is detected.

Obviously you don't.
Mass storage and ADB are not the same drivers.
If you are in fastboot mode and your device doesn't connect, it's most likely your missing or don't have the fastboot drivers installed on your computer properly.
Once you get the ADB driver from motorola you can use fastboot start flashing.

I had trouble using RSD to flash the .902 FXZ.
What I had to do is extract the .img files from the ZIP, and use fastboot through CMD to get everything up and running.
Just open up the XML file inside the zip, it will show you the commands you need to type to flash each section and when to reboot the bootloader
Hello. I'm very new to the whole process of rooting my device and installing roms, so please bear with my lack of knowledge.
I recently tried to install the Stock Google Play 4.4 ROM for my HTC One (m7-tmo).
Everything went smoothly, up until I actually tried to use the phone with the new rom installed.
After briefly allowing me to go through the setup menu (language settings), the device restarted itself back to the HTC boot screen after about 5 seconds. This cycle went on indefinitely.
I then found out that I needed to have S-Off installed before I installed the rom, but sadly it doesn't appear as if I can install that at this stage (but if anyone knows of a way, that would certainly help).
I proceeded to looked for a ROM that could work without S-Off, but now I'm stuck without a means of being able to install it.
I tried to install it during the brief period of time I have that the phone is in setup mode, but that is too short for the computer to recognize my device before it reboots again.
Does anyone know of a way I can transfer the file of the rom to my device in fastboot mode or directly transfer the file to my phone while in TWRP? Or is anyone aware of a possible solution that involves a completely different method? It's a rather sticky predicament, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
adb commands (such as adb push) usually work while you in recovery..

I finally got my second hand M7 yesterday and installed CM11 - install process was fine, everything ran smoothly, I've got CWM 6.0.4.8 running as recovery on it. However:
1. When I boot into CM11 proper to try to use the phone, I get "Unfortunately, Lockscreen has stopped" repeatedly and cannot get it out of the way. This appeared during first start-up and continues to hinder use of the phone (e.g. no keyboard will pop up - thus no typing in wifi passwords, no turning Developer Options on so no USB debugging, etc). I tried updating to a more recent nightly but nothing seems to work: unzipped file, flashed boot.img using fastboot.
2. Why can't I mount USB storage from CWM? I remember on my old Samsung S2 that was an option - or I may have remembered incorrectly, that was so long ago!
Somebody please help, this is pretty frustrating! I haven't had such a problem with CM before, I wonder if it's a reproducible issue...
Anyway, I am also wondering - what are the pros/cons of a Sense ROM versus a non-Sense one?
EDIT: Have tried using ADB sideload with TWRP now, but progress stops at "Starting ADB sideload feature..." with the progress bar continually scrolling but never filling up. Checking for devices on terminal results in no devices listed.
I already posted this question in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226030&page=4
But I think I'll get some more attention this way. I was trying to save this board some space by posting in a preexisting topic, but that might have been a poor decision on my part.
The message will be a copy-paste with some minor tweaks to make it more understandable:
Hello. First time poster here. My phone is Samsung GT-S5570i and I have some problems with it. I couldn't get the solution in the other topic to work.
Long story short: My phone is soft bricked (apparently) and I can't do anything to it via Odin due to the phone not being able to connect via USB (it can charge, though).
Long story... Long: My problems with this phone have persisted for a long time now. The biggest drawback is that the phone cannot connect to anything via USB cable, but it can still charge from it. Yesterday I received an error message from my PC while trying to connect this (soft bricked) phone to it: It could not recognize the phone because of an error in the way the phone is operating. I tried to connect my phone to the PC because I was trying to free up some space from my phone's internal memory to update Whatsapp. I tried deleting Voice Search, but while deleting it, the phone booted by itself. I then went to see what happened in the application list (only to notice that there was less free space), then my phone froze (after throwing three different error messages about processes not running properly). It became completely unresponsive and I had to pull the battery to boot it. Now it's stuck in an infinite loop of the boot screen and the starting animation. I can access the download and "Home + up + power" menus, but my phone keeps telling me it can't mount /data when I try to restart it from those menus. I'm completely reliant on getting it to work through the phone's SDCard due to the issue with not being able to connect via USB.
This update had an error in it when the phone tried to install it (status 7, or something like that): http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2226024
I managed to get this to work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2225994
But it didn't really do me any good.
So what do I do now? Is there some fix to the phone's USB port I can apply via SDCard? Can I just install some firmware via the SDCard directly without using "outside" programs? Am I eternally screwed with this phone? I have tried everything I could find so far, but almost all the options require the use of Odin, which I can't do thanks to the malfunctioning USB port.
Sorry for the long post. Thank you for any replies.
PS: I tried the factory reset and it claimed it had wiped the data and the cache from the phone, but the restart still couldn't mount data.
