Does not boot, freezes at Nvidia logo. Tried clearing cache, restoring factory settings, deleting data, nothing worked.

I've enabled adb by default if you know how could you take a logcat? Most of the time it refuses to leave the bootlogo because surfaceflinger can't aquire the screen which means it failed. Could be a missing file.

I'm backing up my stock rom now. I'll flash this and see what I can get.

---

I can't get adb to show anything and I can't get the device to show up on my pc. It is stuck before the boot animation, I don't think it has booted far enough for me to get anything.

This will not go into development section because I've found that there are many developers who join xda just because they have the device and don't have 10 post and can't post there yet. I like to allow a range of users to share info. With that in mind it's the weekend and I have time to work on this all day today till Monday

Priority one is get adb working I apparently uploaded the wrong build :(

Ok guys I may have did the dumbest thing , but I'm not sure I never actually learned what the hardware was ro.hardware. I assumed it was ardbeg but it could possible be

ardbeg . ardbeg_sata . laguna , norrin , or tn8 you can find this from terminal emulator or adb shell typing getprop ro.hardware

It can also be achieved via commandline adb shell cat proc/cmdline

On boot on the init checks ro.hardware and if it isn't found it won't load fstab.ro.hardware and nothing will mount . None of the *.ro.hardware.rc scripts will run. I figured this out when none of my attempts for touch in recovery worked or adb. I have reason to believe it's tn8 and ardbeg is generic for all versions

Essentially you have a tegra note 8 :) I assume that's what tn8 means please let me know what you find

    I only have a few issues so far with this ROM (I've been using it as my daily driver for about two weeks now). One, the touchscreen sometimes becomes unresponsive on the lockscreen, which requires me to do a hard reboot (maybe there's a way around this, I don't know). Second, sometimes, and I'm still working out why it does this, the speakers emit a high-pitched robotic noise and the screen freezes. This happened on the stock ROM, but not as often. Don't know if this is my device or the ROM, but is still quite annoying.
    Aside from that, and the few missing nVidia apps, I think this ROM is making great progress, and I hope it get's official support from Cyanogenmod soon :good:

    I'm waiting on L source to come in. There was no point in releasing a new build of 4.4 when 5.0 is coming tomorrow I believe. I'll be checking nvidia git for any repo updates.

    Crap , I forgot to apply the patches. Running build now will be uploaded in about 2 hours.

    Here's the new build

    https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712472014

    * 9/15/14
    Added proprietary Nvidia Apps for power management
    Added support for Long Term Orbits (LTO) LTO Info

    For some reason the apps weren't included so I added a flashable zip may be installed on the previous build if your running it.
