N button stopped working

---

I installed Indirect's method to gain root access and now the N button on my tablet won't work. I tried to post on the development board but since this is my first post it wouldn't let me. Any insight into how to get it to work or why it stopped working?

Because of home catcher, fix: 8 failed reboots

what does that mean? how can i fix it?

What I mean is how exactly do you get 8 consecutive failed reboots?

when your NT boots up there will be a black screen with the n logo. right after that black screen disappears, hold the power and n button at the same time until the NT shuts off. repeat 8-10 times and you will be greeted with a factory software reset screen.

at that point, the NT will be booting into it's own recovery software. once that process is complete, you will be starting off with a fresh NT, assuming your original software was 1.4.0, otherwise it will be 1.4.1

hope this helps!

Do a factory reset. I had the same problem - N button stopped working. Password protection stopped working also. Only help was a factory reset. At the time, I didn't have home catcher installed - still don't.

Let me think about this... N button doesn't work... Hmmm, hold down the N button... but, the N...

If the n button has failed in that regard, no amount of resets will repair it. That's a hardware failure and you would need to return the unit.

Try it. The n button may just not be working as expected from software.
