something strange just happened
on my rooted nook tablet i can't access to google play store
it say "you must add an account to the device to continue. do u want to add an account now"
and when i click on YES it closes everything and goes back on the main screen
and also Gallery - Email - Talk have the same icons with the android logo
is this related to the fact that the software has been updated to the new version 1.4.3?
should i root it again?
thanks a lot

Yep. Reroot using the sdcard method and everything should go back to normal. A system update breaks root as it modifies the /system/apps/ directory which is where superuser/google play are stored when rooting.

Hopefully, someone can help me with this, as I seem to be having a similar problem. I am familiar with how to root the nook tablet, and have done so already, but since then, I believe the firmware updated, breaking my root. I am afraid to do it again, because when I first rooted the tablet, a game on it didn't work properly, and only worked properly after the update. Will this new root process cause any existing games to stop working? And how do I then prevent future firmware updates from breaking my root, again?

simple answer for avoising breaking root is to install a custom rom

I used Albert Wertz's method for rooting using an sd card, and had no problems, except that I didn't go as far as to block the OTA updates. Is it possible to have a custom recovery and stock recovery on the same device? How do I tell, and how do I safely install cwm, without being able to use Titanium Backup (since my root is now broken)?
deleted because of multiple posts linked.
I have now booted into mac instead of ubuntu in an attempt to fix.
Looks as if I got caught in xda update!
It's still not correct but better now.

No, there is one partition designated for recovery. You can run cwm from sdcard when you wish and keep stock recovery internal, but custom recovery is the only way I have seen that absolutely blocks otas (otas are blocked with custom rom also) if that is your concern. To tell about your recovery the only thing I can think of is the power and N key into recovery. If you read what is presented on the screen when it appears and refuse a reset you are safe, that takes care of stock, if you are nervous reread and take your time. For cwm if that is installed you will see a cardboard box flash and then a menu with the first item to reboot, that is also safe.
To get into either recovery (for looking) from power off press and hold power and N, after two seconds release power, after one or two more seconds release N also. That should do it.
If you wish to have absolutely what to click when you get stock recovery just wait a while and I'll come back and edit this post to reflect that info. At the moment have something else going on (NT) I can't stop.
Stock recovery shows Factory reset
do you want to reset your device to the factory default?
Press POWER key to exit
Press Home key to continue
press power and you are out and safe
Installing CWM recovery! There are now two apps(they require root) here on xda for that purpose, one is 16gig only (Nook Tab Recovery Flasher) by indirect the other is 8gig and I don't know who did it.
There are also flash zips for each and a flash zip that is both 8gig and 16gig. If you are 8gig make sure you choose one for 8gig
CWM sdcard with a flash zip does not require root.

Here's the situation. I moved touchwiz launcer and odex to the root from system apps bc it kept launching even though I had an alternative home app. Didn't delete so if any probs. could restore. Phone was much better until reboot when I got an acore fc message that kept popping up,ok, restore touchwiz,not there anymore,I have no idea why.So I go to do a clockwork restore of my nandroid image, go to the file with the correct date in recovery,no data.Now I have phone that boots,boots into recovery,lock screen but a black screen on unlock,keys light up, notification shade works, dialer and phone work but that's it. So I mounted the phone to my PC. it recognizes the device, phone asks,mass storage,mount all ok. shows 12gig drive, so I try to push a rom by dragging and dropping but again in clockwork recov. it only shows all the folders present not the zips on the root. Now all this is user error on my part,I know I did something wrong, so you live and learn, but i really need some advice here. Beer for anyone who can talk me through this. I'm not proficient on adb. because I never had to use it so be gentle.
do you know how to restore through odin?
Are you booting into CW recovery? or are you trying to load rom from rom manager?
If you are booting in CW you should not see any files. You should choosing the zip file.

I am booting into the recovery menu, when I choose install packeges it takes me to the green CW recovery menu, I choose install zip from sd and it shows me the folders,but not the packages I want to flash. Am i doing something incorrectly?
That is the correct steps. Which rom are you trying to flash?
When in CW press " install zip from sd card" then "choose zip from sd card" the scroll down the rom and install.
Mr
First,thanks for the help! Let me try again. When I choose install zip from sd,then choose zip I am only seeing the folders, not any of the zips.When I choose the nandroid i made it shows the date of the image made but when i choose it it says no data. I am trying to flash fusion, but Id settle for the stock image which should be in there too which i can see from the drive when mounted on my PC. but not when in CW recovery.
ok man its time to flash from odin, its so simple. need help?
You don't put the update.zip on the sd card, you put it in the root directory of the phones onboard memory (so often mistakenly called the internal sd card).
Do that and try again...made the mistake myself so's I know all about it.

It'll see it, it just won't be able to install from it.
I'm not sure, but I think it has to do with permissions ?!?
Mr
Thats what I was afraid of. Im dl'ing it now, I think the slowest file host in history. I appreciate the hand hold offer, I may need it lol.
Ok, I have downloaded Odin through the all in one zip. I have watched some vids so I think Im comfortable using it,but I have a couple of questions I couldnt find answers to. Do you need to unzip anything from the all in one or just run Odin through the exe? The drivers are in that pack do i need to do anything further to install them?
Mr
Ok. My phone was acting like Loki, I learned to use Odin, and now I feel like Thor. It feels great to have a sure fire way to recover in all eventualities minus hardware damage. Hopefully my Titanium backup wasn't wiped. If any noobs want a walk-through for reflashing through Odin, shoot me a PM or post on this thread and I'll try to point you in the right direction. Now on to Fusion....
I just got the viewsonic g tablet. Ive followed several guides as to how to root it and get recovery on the device and flash a new rom, and I've failed completely and i think may have damaged my ability to get into any recovery. I believe i installed clockwork correctly v.8 correctly. I read that after you do that you can delete the folder called recovery and the existing update.zip so i did. I replaced the update.zip with the newest version of tnt lite 4.4 i believe. However every time i try to get into recovery it does not work. It turns on, says recovery key detected and then flashes a package for about 5 seconds, then boots up into the normal tablet os. It is as if every time i go into recovery or attempt to, it repeatedly installs clockwork recovery. So i feel at this point i cannot even get into any recovery whatsoever. I just tried a factory default erasure, but that this point i don't know if i altered the recovery to do that. If anyone could be so kidn as to help me out here and walk me through what im doing wrong or how you can save my ass i would be so greatful.....
Damn, I always hit thanks instead of reply, talk about bad GUI or blind clicker....
this is exactly what is hapening, you must have an update.zip in the root of the internal memory just to help you figure it out
sdcard = internal memory 16GB
sdcard2 = external card Whatever size you place
Try removing the sd card if you have one the update.zip could be there also...
either way try to figure it out, but you are definitely flashing a file, it's not a bug if I can say so... good luck!
Also this confirm you do not have clockwork installed but the original recovery (no menu, simply grab the update.zip and flash it!)
and read this again maybe

heres the thing. I don't understand what is going on. when i put in my actual sd card. i cant get the file explorer to see it or reconize it for some reason. this is what is killing me, initally when i went into es file explorer it showed sd card and sd2 but later it wouldnt show up when i had an sd card in there. I appreciate your help, i really feel like im killing my tablet here. I had the update.zip on the internal memory or sd card as it reads, not on the actual sd card because i couldnt find the sd2 file system. what do i need to do again now that you know this?
this is the complete sotry of how i got to where i am ......... i first tried to installed zroot and failed. then i dloaded clockwork mod .8 for i believe sd and accidently put it on the internal sd and got confused. i did the power off then power and volume up. it then installed i guess clockwork. then i powered on, deleted the recovery folder and update.zip from the internal sd because a forum post said to since u didnt need it for clockwork. So i then dloaded a rom. then tried to go into clockwork but like i said it kept saying recovery key detected and flashed clockwork mod. and does that over and over. so i then added a recovery folder back with a text file that said command and a command line within that text file. and i dladed the most current stock rom and named it update.zip figuring that if i bring it back to normal i could start over. but everytime i would try to go into recovery it would just seem to flash clockwork. so now im very lost and have no idea how to fix this. ALL i want to do is have root access and flash a rom and I feel like i completely screwed this up and am at a loss.
1. Remove recovery folder and update zip from both sdcard and sdcard2.
2. Add the clockworkmod zip to the root of sdcard. (make sure you are using CWM for internal SDcard)
3. Using Esfile explorer extract the contents of the clockworkmod zip.
4. You should now have a new recovery folder and update zip on \sdcard.
5. Power off.
6. Power on holding the volume +.
7. CWM zip will be flashed. (should only take a few seconds) and then tab will boot normally.
8. Reboot into recovery and enjoy the CWM goodness.
P.S. All the custom ROMs come already rooted. No need to root ahead of time.
Duplicate instruction removed
thekafka,
First, read this info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010943
If you indeed have a working ClockWorkMod, all you have to do
is copy the update.zip file to your /sdcard directory. The shut
down and start CWM using power / volume +. The use the
menus to tell it to load the update.zip and find the update.zip.
You don't have to have the recovery folder with CWM, but you
do need update.zip (you said in your summary you erased it!)
If this doesn't move you ahead enough to work, clarify what
you did this time and what happened and we'll look for Plan B

moral support...
There are far more expert posters on this forum than I. But I just thought I'd give you some moral support. Take deep breaths, and don't panic. The people here will help you through just about anything, and any missteps you might make. All of us, well, most of us, started out exactly where you are, and we are still great fans of the gtab. I have found that even I could not "brick" the tablet. And believe me, I have had moments of panic too. So, just read the various threads, carefully follow the steps, and just take your time. The gtablet is a great tablet.

Bump for this kind fellow. I have in the span of a week taken my Gtab as close as it is possible to bricking, and managed to get it back into working condition with instructions from elsewhere on this forum.
The good news is that with a little elbow grease, and assuming that you don't break the hardware, you are just fine. The Tegra2 platform is hard to brick, and if all else fails you can use Nvflash to rebuild the partitions and write a stock image to flash. If you think you have done something really bad to your ROM, reverting to a stock image may be a reasonable next step.
-Buzzz
Read the install notes
For starters depending on what version of the OTA you are on 3588 etc.. on the TnT lite install in recommends that cwm not be used.
TNT Lite is an alternate 1.1 based ROM for the GTab, based on the stock ROM that Viewsonic supplies. This will flash system, bootloader and your kernel, so be aware of this. Clockworkmod is NOT recommended for use with TNT Lite flashing (as it does not update the bootloader as required by the vendor), but it is an option if you feel you must use it (ie. if you are stuck in a boot loop and need to wipe your user data). It is a "mostly stock" ROM.

You might need to read up a bit more or use an older version. I have bricked this tablet more than a few times. I use linux to nvflash and have nvflashed from 3991 back to 3588 and still been able to drop tnt lite 4.2 back on it.
You might need to read this a few times.. I keep reading the dang thing over and over...

Don't know if these pics will help anyone, but as far as I can tell, getting to this screen is at least a start, as finding just how to put this device into recovery mode was chore in itself; to do that you must power it down, and once the device is completely powered off, hold down the power and volume control/down button (-) simultaneously until you see the update screen (in direct contradiction to what the instruction manual says- there is no "reset button" to be accessed through a pin hole)...then immediately release.
Well, good luck. If anyone can figure out how to root this thing, please let me know! Thanks!

This Root Works for Next7P12-8G
Yes Sir, it works! I rooted all 3 of my kids' Christmas tablets (lol)... Here's the link:
Well, I can't attach the link due to forum rules (this is only my 3rd post, I guess you need 10 before you can attach outside links...) So, copy and paste this phrase into Google and it should be the first one that comes up:
Amlogic Next7P12-8G Modified Recovery - Stock Rom & Flashable Root
Just download the first and third (links) on this page, as the middle one is a ROM (which is explained on the page, as only being necessary in case you have a corrupt one and need to fix it- it's not a mod). All you need is the modified recovery file and root zip file. Just read the thread, follow the above instructions (which are also located within the thread), and you'll be good to go!

8. Choose install from EXT. (Volume keys to navigate list, Power button to select.)
9. Choose the root .zip file.
10. Wait for finish.
11. Reboot.
12. Download your choice of Supersu or Superuser from the Play Store.
Note: There is NO need to flash the ROM if you just want ROOT. The ROM is only needed by people who have screwed up their firmware.
Works great. Thanks to Shaunmt at freaktab.com[/QUOTE]
question about same model number but different processors
Hi I noticed the model number for this Next7P12-8G, well I ordered one from Walmart and am expecting to get it this week. I noticed even though the model number I am getting is the same, the one I am getting has the 1GHz Cortex A9 processor instead if the dual listed above. Do you know if the rooting process would be the same as the dual? This is the efun nextbook7p12-8 that is on sale on Walmart.com right now for 64.99 or something. Has anyone tried this lately? Thanks in advance
Follow this!
Hi! I am new to this site. I have Nextbook too and its rooted. This METHOD WORKS 100%
Follow this video: goo.gl/vl0kI7
The video doesn't explain it very good, so do the best as you can. DON'T FORGET TO READ THE DESCRIPTION
Thanks
Good work

Yes Sir, it works! I rooted all 3 of my kids' Christmas tablets (lol)... Here's the link:
Well, I can't attach the link due to forum rules (this is only my 3rd post, I guess you need 10 before you can attach outside links...) So, copy and paste this phrase into Google and it should be the first one that comes up:
Amlogic Next7P12-8G Modified Recovery - Stock Rom & Flashable Root
Just download the first and third (links) on this page, as the middle one is a ROM (which is explained on the page, as only being necessary in case you have a corrupt one and need to fix it- it's not a mod). All you need is the modified recovery file and root zip file. Just read the thread, follow the above instructions (which are also located within the thread), and you'll be good to go!

excuse me, but the links that you refer are not available, well only is available the last one, but it didn't work for me.
Can some one help me with the links of download?

My little brother had this tab and I figured it out! I am not responsible if anything happens (it hopefully won't) search kingaroot it should be some jap site, download the app that should have a phone right next to it, and that will root this device. Just uninstall the app afterward.
Anybody else having issues with touch when TWRP loads ?
I have a Motorola Moto E(XT1022). I bought it recently and just when I first started it, I got the 4.4.4 kitkat update and so I downloaded it right away. Then I realised one of the biggest problems of Moto E i.e. 2.2 gb storage. So i dug into find how to install apps on sd card and got to know that you have to root the phone. On xda, I found various ways to root but they were only for the 4.4.2 version of the phone and others were update to 4.4.4 on aldready rooted devices. Please tell me the way to root my device. Also as I am new to this, I dont understand any words like bootloader, fast recovery, etc. Please help me. Thank you in advance.
Edit: Can I use the way given by deej_roamer in his post here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2755336
Edit: I am sorry to have posted this in the general section. I don't know how to move it now to the questions section. Sorry again.
Thank You DAVI FELICANO and deej_roamer for their help. I have now successfully rooted my phone. If someone else has a problem, go to Page 2 for the solution.
You can use the defalt method, dont need to change anything.
Who told you that you need root to move apps to sd card?
Once you insert sd card you will get an option in settings/apps to move apps to sd card for those that can be moved.
This is though limited to Apks only and data is still kept in internal sd card.
If this option is not enough for you then you can go the advanced wag by rooting and using gl2sd or link2sd like apps.

You mean I can just follow the way to root if my device would have been running 4.4.2 kitkat (and as suggested by deej_roamer in his post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755336 )
Thank you.

You can install only one game due to it's low internal memory. By one game I mean high graphics game. The obb file remains in the internal storage even after moving to SD card. I tried many things like making SD card default storage using SDK tools but to no Vail. Guess the only way now is to root it & use apps like gl2sd

I followed the thread by deej_roamer here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755336
Try out my steps:
[Your phone battery must be at least 75%]
1. First download "Fastboot" from the thread. (Click on the "mfastboot-v2" link in the thread)
2. Next install it in a folder and remember that folder. Also, make sure you select the option of "Create shortcut on Desktop" during installation.
3. Next download CWM recovery from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/root-moto-e-rooting-flashing-recovery-t2802971 (Click on the "CWM 6.0.4.9 recovery For MOTO E" link in the thread)
4. Copy the "cwm6.0.4.9_recover.img" file to the installation folder of fastboot.
5. Next download SuperSU v2.02 from here - http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip (Click on "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip" link)
6. Don't Extract Supersu zip file.
7. Connect phone to pc. Copy the zip file to your internal memory(the directory of int. memory is /sdcard) (The directory for ext. sd card is /storage/sdcard1).
8. Remove your phone from your pc.
9. Switch off your device.
10. Turn on your device by holding power off button and volume down button together for 6-7 seconds. Quickly connect your phone to your pc.
11. The bootloader must be showing usb connected.
12. Run fastboot from your desktop.
13. Now type this (without quotes) - "fastboot flash recovery cwm6.0.4.9_recovery.img"
14. Look at the screen of device. It must be showing "Mismatched partition size (recovery)". It is normal don't worry.
15. Press volume down once (recovery will be selected) and then volume up so that it goes into recovery.
16. It will show the bootloader unlocked warning. Don't worry about it.
17. Your phone should now be in CWM recovery.
18. Don't do anything except what I tell you.
19. In this menu movement is done by the volume rockers ans selection by power button.
20. Press volume down so that "install zip" is selected.
21. Press power button.
22. Select "choose zip from /sdcard". Press power button.
23. Find the SuperSU.zip file(It will probably be in the "0/" folder)
24. It will ask to confirm install. Select Yes.
25. SuperSU will be installed.
26. Select CWM reboot. When you select CWM reboot, it will display "root access possibly lost - Fix?". PLEASE Select "No".
27. Your phone will now reboot. (The bootloader unlocked warning will be shown and then the boot animation).
28. Open your menu(in the phone) and find SuperSu app (a # symbol will be there in its icon).
29. Disconnect your device from the pc.
CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE A ROOTED MOTO E.
If you ever wish to flash any other recovery (like twrp),
1. Copy the file to the fastboot installation folder in your pc.
2. Then reboot your device into bootloader and quickly connect it to your pc.
3. Run fastboot from your desktop and then type the following without quotes: "fastboot flash recovery cwm6.0.4.9_recovery.img"
4. Instead of writing "cwm6.0.4.9_recovery.img" write the complete file name including extension. For eg. if file name is "twrp_recovery_2" and has extension ".img" then write "fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery_2.img"
I hope that this solved your problem brother.

Is your recovery.img placed in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot"?
It need to placed in it or you'll get an error.
Boot loader is LOCKED !! cannot be unlocked !! so no root for me ?
