I've been duel booting chrx Lubuntu with Chrome OS on my C720P for quite some time now. I go back and forth depending on my needs. Last night, as I was surfing facebook on Chrome OS, the chromebook switched off. When I booted it back up, it threw me into the "Chrome OS is missing or damaged. Please insert a recovery USB stick or SD card." I've tried multiple USB sticks, including a newly purchased one from PNY. All of them result in the chromebook verifying the media okay, but the immediately after, it pops up with "An unexpected error has occured." Hitting tab brings up the recovery reason as "0x5b No bootable kernel found on disk." The keyboard shortcut to boot into legacy (ctrl+l) also does not work. I tried unplugging both the battery and the SSD and plugged them back in - no avail. Does anyone know if getting another SSD would resolve the issue?

Here is a guide I created to restore your beloved Chromebook to stock bios and OS (if you have no back-up of the stock bios)

Check it out and see if that helps!
As Razer says, try restoring to stock first using my guide, then continue after that, I'm no expert, could be anything!
Tried pretty much every suggestion, including yours. I eventually picked up a 64GB SSD and Chrome OS recovered with no problem.

i followed intructions on how to get 1.4.1 to with sd card to flash back to 1.4.0 but no luck...it just starts as normal, i have done the power on off 8 times a few times redownloaded zip file...no idea....i did call barns and noble and complained they said version 1.4.2 is coming out next week to allow side loading once again, thanks in advance with anyone that can help with this problem
thats interesting. if 1.4.2 comes out and allows sideloading then you should be able to root if you get 1.4.2, unless something changes again. Anxious to find out!
the technical support lady from bn said she has had 100s of calls about this issue, ps thanks for that video on rooting worked awesome, i procrastinated on blocking updates...ill make sure that i do this next time around, really like adw

Are you asking how to install iOS on your Nook Tablet or how to get the Android Market on an iOS device?
waiting for update on 1.4.1 for nt (zipfile that works to put back 1.4.0) but also want to get android on the ipad but there arent any forums that i have found about the ipad2jailbreak with os5.0.1

Chances of getting Android on an iPad2 are just about nil. Completely different (and closed) hardware architecture - I don't see how anyone could get Android on it.
that sucks, i really like android, thanks for information

I've heard of people getting android on jailbroken ios devices, but this would be the wrong place to look for help with that. Ios is closed, but with android being open it is not unlike trying to develop a rom for an android device (like a Nook Tablet, for example).
SD card method fails after 1.4.1
Using the acclaim_update.zip method, after the initial screen it looks like the NT tries to start the factory restore procedure then errors out with this message:
"Please restart your device and try again."
I fear I am borked. Has anyone else seen this version of fail?
I am also unable to get adam's sd method to work. My device is at 1.4.1. i performed a factory reset and the factory reset shows 1.4.1! The method I performed for factory reset was to hold the power and home button repeat and release on the 9th time. It did show the factory reset screen with the yellow progress bar. Reran setup and it still showed 1.4.1. it didn't load 1.4.1 it is already set as the factory software level jnow since I got the update. I cant return this device as I dont have a reciept. So here I sit. i have not seen any updates from Adam.
i am going to try a different Micro SD card
let me know if it works!
This method works I video taped a walk through and I will post it. I installed 1.4.1 and reverted back to 1.4.0 without a hitch. Video soon
Update... by soon i mean like within the next 10 hours... it is a 50 minute video that I have to upload in HD... 4 gigs
No luck with aclaim_update.zip on 16GB PNY sd card
Hi All:
I am using 16 GB class 10 pny micro sdhc card. I was able to root
the system and get some apps sideloaded with rev 1.4.0 of the
software.
Then I got burned by the 1.4.1 update and tried the following methods to get
back to 1.4.0:
1) shut off nook (at 1.4.1) and pull the sd card. Insert card into laptop
copied zip file to root of drive. Put card back in nook tablet powered
on. FAIL system booted normally.
2) Formatted sd card in nook. Shut off nook. loaded zip file as in 1.
Powered on system. FAIL system booted normally.
3) formatted sd card on computer, installed zip file (and tested it) on the
sd card. Put card in nook, powred on. FAIL booted normally.
Then I tried all three after unregistering the nook.
Then I tried all three after hard resetting the nook (factory firmware
reload to 1.4.1).
I also attached the nook to the computer directory and put the zip file
at the root of the internal (MyNook E) drive (similar to the method for
manually installing 1.4.1 given on the barnes and noble site). As of now
it has not loaded.
No joy at all. Can people who have had this work tell me what cards they are
using. Maybe there is something there (maybe I need just a micro sd card and
not a micro sdhc card??)
Thank for any info people can provide. I would post the question to the
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190 thread, but
I am not allowed to since I am a new user 8-(.

Yup that's the procedure I did (in 3) using a 4096 block size for the card.
I am re-downloading the file now in case the verify I did was lying somehow
and the file wasn't valid. Since it's fat32, what settings for permissions
(read only, archive ...) did you have on the file.

Too bad this "update" effecively killed two POC projects I was doing for work
that would have sold a few more nooks and also helped drive us

the difference between my situation and yours is I unroot and install patch 1.4.1 on a stock device and then remove it with the sdcard recovery. I wonder if something doesnt work right if it patches over a root? I cant verify this...

The first time I tried steps 1,2 and 3it was on a still rooted nook. So I
had my side loaded apps and could play streaming radio and access the
emergency response guide and ssh to other hosts.
But I also tried step 3 on an unregistered nook before finally
breaking down and doing a complete factory reset (hold down
power and N ...) and using step 3 on it.
So I claim we at this point have the same environment.
I wonder if it could be something with the boot roms? Maybe some roms
look for the zip and some don't? I don't know how to verify that though.
The model number on my nook is BNTV250 and there is an IC number of
8961A-BNTV250A I think. Kind of difficult to read it.

(First I wanted to say, you guys all rock. I owned a Nook Color for awhile and had cyanogen mod on it and it was absolutely awesome. I do understand the basics of how to install it. I ended up selling my old nook (was low on money) and recently began to miss it, so I picked up a 8gig Nook Tablet running 1.4.2. I tried to figure this out on my own, but after 8 hours of reading threads and not having any luck I decided to finally post a thread asking for help )
Problem:
I have an 8gig Nook Tablet (brand new from the store) running 1.4.2. I would like to install Cyanogen Mod 7 on it since the stock O.S. is ... well... terrible.
To start, can it currently be done with that tablet at all? Should I even attempt to do it or wait until everything is more stable?
I did manage to get it rooted using this guys method. Next, I burnt a 4gig SD card based off Indirect's thread so I could boot CWM from it. I was intending on installing CM7 from this thread. I re-sized the 70 mb partition thing using EASEUS Partition Master, stuck the CM7 files in the directory and set about attempting to set it up
My problem is I can't even get CWM to boot. I power it on, it goes straight to the stock O.S. I hold the N button with power button, and it gives me a prompt for a factory restore (which is nice, better than the 'interrupt boot 8 times b.s.). I plug the cable in, unresponsive to anything until I take the card out
Am I doing something incorrectly, or maybe using the wrong files? If I can't install CM7 for some reason, is there any way to make the stock O.S. function better? I can't view apps without going to search->play store-> finding them, which is a pain.
Thanks so much for any help!
My HP Touchpad on ICS (Cyangenmod 9) is refusing to start. Keeps flashing the message "Unfortunately Trebuchet stopped working" and when i touch on ok, the message pops up again.
this is the sequence in which it happened:
My daughter was playing Temple Run and the TP shut down because the battery was over.
I plugged it into the wall charger and after about 10 minutes of charging (the screen showed a big battery symbol with a red line beside it)
and then the boot screen came on, with cyanogen mod highlighted and in few seconds started to boot into ICS, and the screen showed - Cyanogen MOd 9 Loading - and stayed like that for 45 minutes;
I felt it got stuck and held the power button and vol up for a few seconds to reboot and this time it reboot with the Android icon with lots of blue around it. And thats when it started flashing the message "Unfortunately Trebuchet stopped working"
also the system tray (?) lower right corner, flashed a popup saying the sd card is damaged; and when touched it , showed the message 'sd card damaged - format or cancel- touch on either one and the Trebuchet message comes on...
went back to the boot screen and tried to boot into webOS, but somehow it jumped back into cyanogen mod.
i need help. do i need to reinstall the entire cyanogen mod package again and if yes, how do i do it?
and where is the sd card located? is it user accessible?
thanks

The sd card is a virtual one, in other words, there is no sd card. It's created when installing android.
I recommend leaving the TP plugged into the charger for at least a few hours, then try booting again. If the problem persists, you might have to doctor. It's not hard. Go to the webos nation forum and search for webOS doctor and follow the instructions. It might not be a bad idea to uninstall android, then do a new, clean install. You should be good to go. BTW, try to not let the battery run down all the way. As you can see, it can cause all sorts of problems.
Good luck.
thanks

Thanks; I have already cleared most of the problem by using webOS Doctor; I think I need to do a clean install, for that i have to uninstall cm9 by using the ACMEUninstaller, right? i am a noob, so...
will that help me recover some space, because now with just webOS on the HP Touchpad, I have just about 5 gigs?

Yes use ACMEUninstaller to remove cm9 just do exactly what you did to install but replace ACMEInstaller2/3 with ACMEUninstaller.
For guidance my 32gig Tablet shows a hard drive size 27.2 with just webos and 25.5/25.4 with Android installed the lower figure using ACMEInstaller3 as it takes an extra 100mb .

Hi everyone,
I purchased a used Asus Transformer Prime from someone locally. They already installed CynaogenMod on it, and it booted and appeared to work fine (albeit more slowly than what I expected/was used to, but that could be for several reasons). My initial intent upon purchase was to use it to dual-boot with Ubuntu or another Linux distro, but I haven't been successful in fulfilling that desire yet. Here's what I've done:
I tried to copy a folder into the "root" of the tablet, but it doesn't seem to take. So, I thought that maybe I needed to resize the partition (perhaps it was too small). To do this, I downloaded and ran Clockwork Mod ROM Manager premium and tried to flash the bootloader, but that doesn't seem to work- when I now try to boot into recovery by holding down the power and down vol. buttons, I get the four choices as I usually do - RDK, Android, USB, Wipe Data- but upon pressing RDK, the system just says it is booting the recovery image and hangs. I've also tried TWRP Manager, and it crashes. The system boots into Android just fine. The only other thing I noticed is that it doesn't seem to like my SD card - when I try to access the storage option in Android upon inserting it, storage crashes. Sometimes it will say I have inserted a blank SD card but it won't let me do anything with it.
Settings says my Kernel version is 3.1.10-g0cef264-dirty, [email protected] #2, Sun Nov3 20:11:09 EST 2013
CynanogenMod version 10.2-2031103-UNOFFICIAL -tf201, build number cm_201-userdebug 4.3.1 JLS36l 2e7bb9b83c test-keys
Android version 4.3.1
I downloaded and installed Flashify in hopes that it would work, but still no dice. I have tried a few other steps, suggested to me by a helpful fellow on the Flashify Google + community page , but haven't made progress.
What I'd ideally LIKE to happen is that I can get a dual boot for both Ubuntu and Android. I'm willing to do whatever I need to so this will happen, including wiping the tablet and starting from the ground up. However, I'm pretty new to Android modification (though I know my way around Android OS) and may need a bit of explanation on how to do certain things.
Any ideas?
*bump*
1st I want to say, thanks for checking my question!
Maybe the more precise question would be "How to flash Amlogic S805", right?
Ok then. In my Android TV I have installed Amlogic S805 (S805.5). Now I know that I probably made mistake buying that TV but it's ok afterall. It's 40' 1080p TV.
Everything is good except this Amlogic making me headaches every day, sometimes every week and sometimes it works for month or two without problems.
Whichever version of Google Play Services I install work for few days and then all apps start to crash, one by one until I ger white screen with text "This machine has serious error, need reboot to repair".
Sometimes it fixes problem and boots straight to Android home page but usually it just stuck with Boot loop, sometimes it's doing restarts immediately after Android animated logo appears... Also it happens that when I select "Smart TV" source of signal on my TV that there is no signal, even if I can see that Ethernet light on my router (which is right next to TV connected to it) is lit up, which means that it's connected and working but it's not giving picture?!
This Amlogic board has a reset button of course which just resets device, THERE IS NO ANDROID SYSTEM RECOVERY which is making me think that there is no way to wipe this broken OS for my Amlogic and install new one. When holding reset button 1st what's appearing is message saying that Android is being reseted, after setting all up it works normally until next few days it start to crash again.
Now, finally, my question is. Does any of you knows how and where I can download and install completely new Android (I would like to move from this Android 4.4.2 to Android 5.1) with SD Card? I have one photo right now of board itself, on board there is SD Card slot in which I can put SD Card with TWRP and Android 5.1? Will with SD Card inserted instead of reset Android System Recovery appear on screen (or TWRP) allowing me to wipe everything and install custom ROM or however is the right term to say?
How can I do it and is it even possible?
P.S But in short.
1. I need program that can make bootable SD Card with TWRP and Android 4 or Android 5
2. TWRP
3. Android OS
4. Little explanation how to correctly install new OS with TWRP.
Thanks!
