Hello, I'm not particularly new to Android, nor am I new to the prospect of flashing roms. However, I recently flashed an upgrade of cm10.1 to my Nook HD via recovery and I'm now stuck at "Loading (SD)..." in the bootloader. Is there a specific way that CM10.1 has to be upgraded or did something just go wrong during the flash? With my other devices, you can just flash the upgrade zip from the recovery menu. Thanks in advance for the help!

Up until the most recent .zip, I have done just what you described. Couple times my HD god hung up during that same process... I just powered down and restarted and it booted fine.

Yea it has happened to me too, I just powered off with a long press on the 'N' and power button. Restarted and it worked fine.
Actually i'm on 10.1 too.
This thing happens sometime. This is normal for early alfa soft.
On first clean install test i had 3 or more times stop on Cyanogen logo. But it started work on fourth time. Same happened with second clean install too (messed Adnroid to death with my hard tests and modifications ). Power OFF/On have sometime magical power.
Well, I was able to restart the nook and flashed the zip again. It worked! However, I can't change the brightness. To be honest, I can't remember if I even tried before. So, is this just a bug or is it common? Thanks for the help guys

If you did a Wipe Data/System Reset from the boot loader menu, you have reset the device settings and the FASTBOOT option is now enabled which prevents you from getting into the boot loader.
You need to boot the phone normally and then disable the FASTBOOT mode and also turn on adb debugging mode while you are at it.
In order to flash the custom ROMs on this forum, you will need to unlock the boot loader and then install a custom recovery.
Sounds like you need to do some more reading and studying about how to successfully mod your IncS.

Also this is really impossible unless:
1. You have brick (which could be possible considering the fact that it seems you don't know what you are doing based on what I read)
2. You have no battery left (which could also be fully possible)
Like tpbklake suggested, I really do encourage you to read a bit more. Screwing these little things up really could lead to a dead phone.
Firmware update was a over the air update from verizon. Nothing out of the normal. And i haven't done anything to brick the phone. It just wont go into bios now. I didn't install anything just tried factory restore of bios menu.

If you got an ota from Verizon, then you have a droid inc 2 which has it's own forum. Although they are very similar, you cannot run the ROM on this forum.
Did you read my previous post about System Reset will disable you from getting into the boot loader screen? You need to disable FASTBOOT mode and then you should be able to get into the boot loader screen.
Well, I was browsing around the market and my n5 just abruptly shut itself off. It hasn't been able to turn back on since. I've tried every key/charge/magic trick in the book so its DEAD!
Happy to jump in the RMA line at this point but was wondering if any others can confirm DEAD devices. The RMA thread is kinda full of nitpick issues but a dead device is a dead device.
This was the only discussion chain I could find on the issue but maybe someone from google will comment on dead devices. lol

EDIT:
so it appears holding down both volume buttons + power while it's plugged in to the charger (not USB to PC) will temporarily boot the phone. You can then do a restore to stock and issue gets fixed. :good:

Ya I got an RMA setup but I've been tryin to turn it on ever since. I managed to figure out it will turn on ONLY when it's plugged in and holding down BOTH volume buttons and power. It will bring up the bootloader and from there I can go into recovery, START (os) but reboot options freeze it again. It's really weird, it won't start by doing the same procedure without the power plugged in. It's like it doesn't want to boot on its own cuz it thinks it's dead? Funny thing is the battery says 100%+ in TWRP.
Since I was able to get it booted tethered to the power I'm going to have it drain the battery to dead and see if it resets itself or something. Maybe a bad idea but I guess I don't care at this point it's already RMAd and I don't know what else to try. lol

Do you have a backup you can attempt to restore?
Have you tried to adb into it?

I would never install twrp.
There is a stock rom in here somewhere. Flash it boot loader and see what happens.

Why wouldn't you? In situations like this, it is extremely helpful. Do you expect him to install CWM or something? From my understanding, at least when I first got my phone and flash a custom recovery, CWM wasn't booting. If you are here to try and press your opinion on which custom recovery you prefer, go to their official thread.

Yep all good now. No explanation to why this happened but recreating the fs and flashing stock seems to have resolved the issue.

So I was going through the process of rooting my phone, and after I rooted my phone with CF auto root my touch screen calibration is all off for my touch screen with the diparity getting greater the further to the right and the further down you go on the screen, but my s-pen works at is should. Is this a known issue, or is there a way to fix this?
I have tried flashing different roms, and un rooting as well as a different recovery, but even in the recoveries the screen is not calibrated properly.
Did I just suffer bad luck and lose my touch digitizer at the same time?
I really haven't heard of anything like this. Don't wait to long to return if you still can

I tried the *#0*#, but I cant even get that to work since its so inaccurate,
Looking into it:
http://www.androidlegend.com/how-to-perform-proximity-sensor-calibration-on-any-samsung-phone/
Looks like they are making it harder.
We are flashing so hard we didn't notice.
Honestly flash firekat and use it as a base.
But, we'll have a better answer soon.
I'm having the same exact problem here.
I have illustrated the problem in the attached photo, just to make it clear.
My phone is Note 4 Sprint
I have flashed custom and stock firmware but ends up with no luck
Hope to find the solution here :good:
Finally found a solution
dial *#2663# and update the touch FW by pressing "TSP FW update (General)".

Exact same issue here as well. After rooting my phone and installing CM 12 on it all of a sudden my touchscreen calibration is waaaay off. Its more pronounced the further down the screen you go (ie I click in the 2/3 section top to bottom to click on the actual bottom) but with the s-pen everything is fine. I tried the code dial *#2663# but then I receive the prompt "connection problem or invalid mmi code". I am connected to the mobile network (Rogers in Canada) and mobile data is working without issue. I've tried completely wiping the phone again, all partitions and reformatting system, reflashing CM12 + gapps and still the issue persists. Google-fu isn't turning up with much either, please help!
Did you do it with Odin.
Yes I rooted it with Odin using CF-Root as with all my past Samsung devices (specifically this link: download.chainfire.eu/563/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-trltecan-trltecan-smn910w8.zip). TWRP recovery was flashed with version 2.8.1.0 (don't have the original link at hand but filename is: openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-trltecan.img), following with CM 12. I've tried reflashing the root as well and it did not help. Screen calibration is off even in TWRP but as mentioned before s-pen works fine.
Update on this, I flashed back to a stock (but flashable) ROM. Ran the *#2663# screen firmware fix, which resolved the inconsistency. Booted back into recovery, re-flashed the AOSP ROM (Beanstalk in my case, I was trying it as I thought CM was my issue initially (which I know was wrong)) and everything is good.
Very frustrating but at least now it works. Replying to SMS messages with the s-pen made me feel like my father typing....
Well you can root only in android 2.2 or below because if you root in a lastest version on android it would not work it will crash your phone it will delete system files which you cannot restore, it critical job to do and very dangerous, I notice that some ones phone got rooted and does not work by someone rooting it to cyangemod,which delete the whole system files, well if you rooted your phone there will be lots of problem that you may not like, the rooting can do anything in your phone.

Don't worry, here is the fix for it.
I had the exact same problem a few weeks ago.
Go to the dialer screen and click in:
*#2663# screen fix works perfect, it will display a menu, select re-calibrate
or update or something to that effect, ( I forgot the exact wording)
But when you see that menu screen you will know which one to click.
You might have odin flashed the wrong twrp for the phone, but either
way this will fix it.
I would suggest that before you do this, odin flash the n910t
stock samsung firmware, that way twrp will get over-written.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
My fellow Android users & developers,
I've been out of the game for a while now (since the HTC incredible). I recently purchased an LG G2 when my upgrade came up. I'm moving back from an iPhone. The one thing that I am trying to do with this phone is some how set up tethering. Previously with my incredible I had to root the phone and then install a ROM. I have been searching around google and the site and all I am finding are horror stories of people bricking their phones. There are a million threads here. Can someone point me in the direction of what I need to enable tethering or how to properly root my device so I can install ROMs from the site? Any tips or links would be greatly appreciated!
My Device:
LG G2 VS98039A (Verizon)
Build: LRX22G
Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-ga038154
Thanks,
Scyth3
Just picked up a used G2 that should be arriving tomorrow so doing some homework today on this device. This is what I am planning to do when mine arrives, best of luck to you
root = http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
hotspot (see post 339) = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338&page=34
First of all, do you have warranty?
If you do, check if your GPS is working, only GPS sensors. There are a lot of reports with LG G2 gps broken, not working, etc.
If its broken, go and replace it. If its works and you are stock 39A, root your phone with root method that @someguyatx recommended and then, install recovery with this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/tool-freedom-tool-vs980-39a-twrp-t3053134
When done, do a full nandroid backup prior doing anything. After that, I can recommend xddadeb version of Lollipop, its great and removes a lot of bloatware.
Anything, just ask
Thank you both for the replies. My warrenty should be gone at this point. I have had the phone for more than a little while I should have mentioned. How would I go about checking the GPS to ensure it is functioning? I have never had any trouble with using google maps or anything of that nature. Also on the link to the rooting page I noticed below the first post is a "one-click root". Should I manually do the instructions at the top or just use the one-click root?
Thanks again!
I am planning to follow the one click procedure link tomorrow to root as soon as I verify my phone works. Check out the video in the one click link from qbking77, his stuff is always good.
If your maps have been working properly then your GPS should be good to go.
I didn't even scroll down far enough to see the video originally haha. Thank you so much for your help. I'm in the process of rooting it now! I'll update the post once I am finished! :good:
Hope it went well, my phone just came in today so I will be rooting it tonight. Looks like I need to update first since its still on android 4.4.2

Just an advice: lollipop uses more battery so its not mandatory to update to that versio, its your choice.

I'm updated to lollipop, GPS is working great and I rooted after a few tries with the one click and a driver reinstall. Its refreshing to still have devices that root this easy. IJust need to add recovery and flash the hotspot zip. Thanks Deathsync3 for starting the thread and neondunker. Loving the G2 so far, much snappier than the Droid Maxx

Remember to do a full nandroid backup of your stock rom, including EFS and those stuff.
Everything went smoothly. I did have some initial trouble though. To anyone using this method it does work BUT, when you get to the point after you have installed the drivers for the device and unzipped the .exe. Plug your phone in and click start root. when you get the prompts on the phone DO NOT check the box that says, "always allow". I REPEAT DO NOT CHECK the box. Simple click "ok" on the prompts and the root will complete sucessfully. I am now onto installing backup , a ROM, and hotspot. @neondunker can you link me to the ROM that you were talking about in the post? Also can you explain a little more in depth or provide a link in regards to what needs to be backed up? Is it still like the HTC Incredible where I had to go in and clear the cache, delvik cache, etc? Thanks again everyone!
Well the idea is to perform a full nandroid backup before leaving stock just in case. Then you can leave that backup on a pendrive or computer.
About the rom, is the xdadeb one in android devolpment. You wont miss it since itsa always in the first page. Just follow the instructions, dumb proof hehehehe.
Enviado desde mi VS980 4G mediante Tapatalk
@neondunker One last thing. How do I enter back into recovery mode now that TWIN is installed? Thanks for all of your other help man!
Two ways
One through adb and the other is to power off the cellphone. Then power up while pressing power + down volume. As soon as the lg logo appears release the buttons and hold again volume down.

What is ADB? annd when I power off then power and hold down the power and volume button it puts the phone into safe mode....I just did some searching outside the fourm. It seems this is the way to get into TWRP.
Try holding volume down + power
Immediately when LG appears let go of both and ONLY hold onto power, should boot into option to factory reset
Hit power button 3 times to continue, then it will load twrp
Even though it highlights factory reset it will NOT erase your data and should open up to TWRP.

Thank you illyfilly and bodom_hc. Bodom_hc's method worked. I know others must be having this same issue/maybe someone should post it up somewhere. I really apprecaite the time you both took out to reply to me. Now I can flash rom's like I have for every other device. Much appreciated, thank you!

Thank you for this! I was having the same problem. I have to admit, I panicked a little when it said it was proceeding with the factory hard reset, but then the recovery screen came up. Phew!
Thanks again.
Can anyone quadruple confirm that doing this does NOT erase all user data/settings and factory reset the G2? I'm honestly too scared to do this as I can't do a nandroid backup without TWRP... Thank so much!

So what do you have to do exactly? I have been using the quick boot app for years to go into recovery but its helpful to know the hardware key combo.

@someguyatx In order to access TWRP using the phones buttons:
****PLEASE NOTE this is for the VERIZON LG G2****
1. Power down your phone
2.HOLD the following buttons: POWER button and the DOWN volume button
3. Once the LG logo pops up let go of the buttons
4. Once the LG logo disappears hold both the POWER and DOWN volume button again
5. This will take you to the factory data reset screen
6.You will see some text that says, "Erase all user & restore default settings --> your selections will be yes or no. Select YES ( just trust me)
7. It will prompt you again ---> select YES, but this time press the power button 3 times ( so YES, YES, YES.)
8. The phone will go back to the LG screen and then the TEAMWIN logo will pop up and take you into recovery.
@someguyatx and @neondunker and @amcleod1995 have a question for both of you though.....This version of TWRP seems to be behind in regards to some of the ROMs I've looked at our is 5.x.x.x they use 6.x.x.x. I saw that some of the boot stacks include the "updated version" but how do you flash a boot stack? My brother started another thread asking the question as we have both reasearched quite a bit to avoid bricking out LGs.
Brother's thread ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help/how-to-flash-bootstack-t3139847
I flashed xdabbeb 3.1.2 Rom this morning and just followed the directions, first I flashed the 39a bootstack then rebooted to recovery wiped the stuff it said and flashed the Rom. So far it's running great.
Yes, its a great rom and the multitasking apps have improved over the 4.4 version. The only drawback is the battery life.
