[Q] can only boot to cwm. need help w/16gb nt

---

Need some help with the "AdamOutlerUbuntuTotalReFlash" method. I am missing or overlooking something but, can't figure out what. I have installed the Ubuntu 12.0.4 on an older laptop in an effort to 1) learn but 2) mostly to restore my 16GB NT. Currently the Nook will only boot to CWM. I have tried a few different methods and images but, can't seem to get anything to load. Do I need to repartition and can anyony help with that, I am at apoint wher maybe I have tried to learn or do to many new things at once and am frustrated and confused. I don"t believ all is lost but could sure use a little more help/direction. I have followed all of Adam Outler's steps but, seem to run into trouble with having success writing the image to the SD card.

Is this what you are trying?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1470910
If so, you do not need to have Ubuntu on your computer, nor know anything about it!
Scroll down to "WIndows" instructions and go!

1. Download - extract - rename Adams file
2. Open your disk imager and load the img you "created" in step 1.
3. Burn the image to your sd card
4. Boot into the card created in step 3 and follow the instructions below the picture. starting with "Theory of..."

thanks

I would like to say thank you for the help and appreciate the support. I will give this a shot. this evening. a few Questions 1) when renaming the AdamOutlerUbuntuTotalReFlash.tar.gz file do i delete the .tar.gz extensions and replace them with the .img extension? or do i do i leave them so that the extension is now .tar.gz.img ? 2) when powering on the device do I power on with the power button on the NT or use the USB cable and let the device power itself on and does it matter if the device is plugged into the charger or the PC? Any specific instructions or specific utilities for formatting the SD Card?

Thanks Again!

I haven't done this recovery myself, so I really don't know anything about it. I would suggest you to read through that topic and see if the answers are there.
The instructions do say "extract" and THEN "rename"
Some general things I can say though:
When burning an image to sd card the card doesn't need to be formatted before doing it.
To get the NT to boot from sd crad is individual from device to device. Many say they only get theirs to do it by inserting charging cable to power adapter.
The three that have passed through my hands have booted to sd either by themselves when turning on power. If they haven't done so right away I hold down the "n" and that's it.

You should read this post before trying out any "unbricking" method and end up permanently bricking your NT.

o.k. so i have downloaded the image, extracted it using winrar but, when i use the win32diskimager to write the image i can find the file but, the win 32 diskimager does not recognize the sd card or doesn't even let me open the little file foled at all for that matter as far as where to chose to write it to?

Hi all,

I tried Adams' method along with a few days worth of other methods. I've been unable to get past the writing MLO portion in Adams' method. Has anyone been able to get past this?

p.s. I'm a semi-n00b, this is my first tablet If it was a phone I'd be fine lol
