Well day one is over and I think I might have the first bricked NC. I used CWR to flash this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932211
I kept getting a keyboard input error and it never worked correctly. I've been reading nonstop through the forum and now my NC won't turn on.
I look through the thread again, only to find out that it is locked and in red letters it now says "just keep away from the SDcard formatting option in settings." Anyone want to guess what I did before I read that? Yup, I formatted the SD card through settings.
It says to use a certain file to flash boot again but I have no idea how to do that if the thing won't even turn on. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't post in the thread because it is locked.
MY NOOK IS ALIVE AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Not sure what all I did but it's up and running again. I started with the partition file mentioned in the closed thread. I then did a full restore to 1.0. This then lead me to a boot loop with the grey N screen. From there I re-rooted and it almost loaded. After that I did the power +N button and it reinstalled 1.0 for me. I have since rooted the NC and am leaving it as is until Cyanogen comes out with their ROM.
you made a big mistake by starting off with that flash to emmc rom. You should have started with rooting the original firmware.

If this doesnt work use my fool proof guide here:

I rooted the NC using Huskermania's video on YouTube. I should have left well enough alone but seeing all the videos of 2.2, I wanted it as well.
Thanks you for the link. I plan to follow every step later in the day, after get some rest and relieve some stress. My only worry is, will the Nook turn on after I pop in the SD card and how long do I hold the power button before I give up?
I'm familiar with rooting and flashing phones, I am currently running CM-6.1 on an Evo and a Hero without any problems. Before that I messed with everything from the PPC-6601 to the TREO 800W.
try this:

maybe it's like the root sd and you just need to let it run without any on screen indicators. you could pm him and see if he can offer any help.
good luck.
So I've read through everything and when I installed the SDK I had issues with my PC and getting the drivers to load. I didn't install them and went straight to flashing it, so no matter which guide I followed the driver install failed.
I'm now on a Mac and I'm installing the SDK. Any advice on how to take me from step #11 and on.? I can't seem to be able to find the Windows button fo some reason.
hi -- assuming you still need help, this CWR bootable SD saved me many times.
download this file (I think you may already have it)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2248236/froyo-eMMC-0.2.img
so open terminal in your mac and insert the microSD card into an sdcardreader or adapter. If you want to be extra safe open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder in Applications and erase the SD card.
then in terminal:
$ diskutil list
(figure out which /dev/disk# is the sd card)
$ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk#
$ dd if=/path/to/that/img/file/froyo-eMMC-0.2.img of=/dev/disk# bs=1m
(then wait an inordinate amount of time when terminal won't tell you anything and you think it is not doing anything... for it to image the sd card)
when it is done, it will tell you XXXXXX files in 0 files out
remove that SD from your computer and put it back in -- it should show up in finder as "Boot" and check to make sure a "restore to 1.0.1 zip" is on it -- if not, let me know, and I'll link you that file as well. You can just copy over that zip to the newly imaged SD card if it isn't there.
once you've got that SD card imaged with the complete-restore-1.0.1.zip on it as well, make sure your nook is unplugged and powered off -- I assume, just hold down the power button for like 10 seconds just to be safe. Put the microSD into the microSD slot and plug the nook into the computer -- that tells it to boot from SD.
you should enter Clockworkrecovery at which point you need to navigate the program with the vol up vol down power and home buttons (power is back, home is select) and go to the mount option and reformat system, then data, then boot. It always freezes on me after reformatting boot, so just power off and back on and it should return to CWM. Then go through the steps to flash that recovery zip that is on the sd card! Make sure you select "select zip from SD card" and you should be good to go.
good luck.
I keep seeing SD card rooting questions. I'm providing a link to some guides that describe in gory detail how to get CM7 up and running on an SD card (for both MAC OSX and PC). These guides are built off of verygreen's size-agnostic SD card thread and he deserves any and all credit. All that I (DrAstro) and DrWho have done is expound on the easy-to-follow steps that he provides from the perspective of trying to teach someone who is only mildly computer literate.
http://clubnook.com/forum/showthread.php?953-Rooting-Instructions
If this helps, go to verygreen's SIZE AGNOSTIC card thread and give him thanks.
I've just copied and pasted directly from Clubnook in case people don't want to link over there. If this is useful for you, comment and I'll keep it updated. If not, just let it fall into the ether...
CM7 - SD Card - Mac Version
INSTALLING CM7 (CyanogenMod 7/Android 2.3) ONTO A MICROSD CARD FOR USE WITH NOOK COLOR
Thanks to DrAstro for the following instructions:
I used the instructions from verygreen (who deserves any and all credit):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1000957
I did nothing other than follow exactly what he said to do and was up and running with full android market access in about 10 minutes (with a 5 minute nap in the middle!). It was literally that easy. I’ve just expanded, in gory detail, on the basic.
Basically, what you are doing here is taking a microSD card, making it so that the nook color can boot from it, putting a new OS on that card (CM7) and then adding the android market. At the end, you will be able to run a more tablet-like experience from your microSD card without doing anything to the internal software that BN put on there. Here are steps, with heavy borrowing from verygreen’s guide. Hopefully you will read and understand what you are doing, so that you can pick and choose which OS zip you want to use.
NOTE: These are mac specific instructions, as that’s what I used!
1) Downloaded the following files and put them on your desktop:
generic-sdcard-v1.2.1.img.gz
(http://nook.handhelds.ru/sdimage/gen...-v1.2.1.img.gz) - This file makes your SD card bootable. This is probably the “hardest” part of the process as you have to “burn” this image to the card, not just “drag and drop”
update-cm-7.1.0-RCO-encore-2.6.32-beta3.1.zip
(http://coachz.inetpro.org/~dalingrin...32-beta3.1.zip) – This is the latest beta version of CM7 that was available at the time I did this! There may be some instability, but they fixed the battery issues with this release so the tradeoff is worth it.
Or get the latest stable version update-cm-7.0.2-encore.zip
(http://tinyurl.com/3vyanhh)
gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
(http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.ph...Latest_Version) – This was the latest google apps version that was available when I did this. It will give you access to the android market!
2) Get any microSD card that you don't mind trashing the data on. There a LOTS of options out there, but I would HIGHLY SUGGEST getting a SANDISK, CLASS 4, 8 GB or 16 GB card. It is by far the most likely card to work well for you.
Also get a reader for your microSD card. I got one that plugs into my USB port and lets me see my microSD card on my desktop.
3) The first step is to install the .img file to the microSD card. First, you need to double click it on your desktop and let mac osx unzip it for you. It should do this nicely and your resultant file will be:
generic-sdcard-v1.2.1.img (i.e. the .gz at the end will go away)
To install the .img onto the microsd card, put the micro sd card into your card reader. It should pop up on your desktop as a disk. Mine was called “no name”.
To write the image (called burning the .img file to), you need to do the following:
-Find which drive the sd card is mapped to. To do this on mac, you can use the terminal:
how to open the terminal:
a) Go up to the magnifying glass in the top right of your mac.
b) Click on it and search for the word “terminal”. The first thing it finds should be a little black box with the word Terminal.
c) Click on that and a window should open on your desktop. That window should say something like Terminal – bash – 80x24 in the top line and then have a bunch of words, maybe something about Last login: and finally a line that ends in a dollar sign $. Here’s where you will type in your commands.)
Inside of that terminal, after the dollar sign ($) first, type:
cd Desktop
That will take you to your desktop. If you now type
ls
This should show you a list of all the files and folders on your desktop. All the terminal does is let you work with files using text commands rather than a nice graphical interface (i.e. clicking on windows and stuff)
Now that you know a couple basics on “terminals” type this:
diskutil list
This lists all the spaces on your computer where things are stored. You need to unmount the microSD card that you just plugged in. This will allow you to erase the card and put what you want on it. You need to look at this list and figure out which drive# is your microSD card. To the far right, you will see the disk size. Your microSD card should be around that same size as what you bought (for example, I’m using an 8GB card and found the disk that was around 7.5 GB).
Once you know the right disk (mine was disk1, yours may be different) unmount that drive by typing this:
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk<#>
(to be explicit, my drive was disk1 so I typed: diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1)
It should say: Unmount of all volumes on disk<#> was successful
Next type:
dd if=generic-sdcard-v1.1.img of=/dev/disk1
Everything needed should copy right over to the card. It took my laptop 140 s.
Now unmount the microSD card, but NOT the same way as what you just did. How? Remember when you connected the microSD card and a folder popped up on your desktop? Right click on that and select “unmount”. Note, it might be the case that the folder was renamed “boot”. If that’s the case, that is the folder to unmount.
After the microSD card disappears from your desktop, remove your microSD card from the laptop and plug it back in. The folder named “boot” should pop up on your desktop. Now the easy part.
Drag and drop the file:
update-cm-7.1.0-RCO-encore-2.6.32-beta3.1.zip or update-cm-7.0.2-encore.zip
Into the “boot” folder. Now right click on the “boot” folder and unmount.
Take out the microSD card and put it into the nook color. Turn the nook color on and it will boot. A little penguin might pop up followed by lots of techie looking things flashing on your screen. That’s fine. Keep an eye open and when its done, the screen will go blank. It should turn itself off, but probably won’t reboot. You need to hold down the power button for around 8 seconds to turn it back on. It will reboot into CM7.
(note: This is updated from prior CM7 installations (i.e. these instructions are specific to installing the CM7 beta). If your unhappy with the performance of the beta, you can install a CM7 version that’s labeled as “stable”. The stable versions occasionally need to be turned off manually (i.e. by holding down the power button for 8 seconds)).
You’re almost there. You should have a homescreen with a few icons. Find the one labeled “settings”. Open this up, go to Wireless & networks, and connect to your wireless network. Now CM7 is ready to go online and you can turn off the nook color and install the Android Market.
You need to turn off the nook color. Take out the microSD card and connect it to your computer again. This time, two folders will pop up. One called “boot” and one called “sdcard” or something similar
This time, drag and drop:
gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
into the boot folder. Now comes the second hardest part, booting into recovery. The process depends on the version you are installing.
If you are installing the beta version I reference above then put the microSD card into the nook color and boot into CM7. Once you’re in CM7, hold the power button until a menu pops up and choose to “reboot”. Choose to reboot into “recovery” and you should be all set.
If you’re installing one of the “stable” versions, put the microSD card into the nook color and boot to Recovery Mode. In order to do this hold the nook N key and press and hold the power button for ~5-6 seconds. It may take a couple of tries. The screen may turn off a couple times. You may boot into CM7 a couple times. Eventually, with luck on your side, you will successfully boot into “recovery mode” and google apps will be installed. Once you manage to boot into recovery the screen will flash up lots of techie text, similar to when you started CM7. It should go blank when this is done. At this point you can turn it off by holding power for around 8 seconds. Turn it back on, follow the screen instructions and you should be good to go with an android tablet with the full android market, all running from your microSD card!
Setup Wizard stuck?
I actually got this working on the first try a couple weeks ago and it was fantastic!
I was able to play netflix and flash for the first time, and now my dad wants me to do his nook the same way. He has a 16GB sd card though, and the original instructions didn't work on >8gb cards. I can't just image his SD card to my SD card because I couldn't get my google account to de-register etc, so I started from scratch with my card and planned to image to his before configuring any user accounts.
I'm having repeated trouble with my retry attempt though
Basic CM7 install with the generic-sdcard-v1.2.1 and update-cm-7.1.0-RC0-encore-2.6.32-beta3.1 (the ones recommended as of today in the instructions)
I set up wireless access, shut down, and backed up my card at this point.
Copy the current 20110307 gapps to the boot partition, eject, put it back in the nook, boot into recover (I've gotten good at this), it installs, shut down. Back up my card again as I figure this is where I'll want to start the other card.
Back to the Nook, boot up, get past the CyanogenMod scateboard screen, and it goes to "Setup Wizard". This should be for setting up the Google Apps Marketplace account I think, except it's completely black except for grey bar across the top with "Setup Wizard" on it, and the bar across the bottom with menu/back/search/battery indicator etc (these do nothing).
I can press power button and get only two options: shut down the tablet or reboot the tablet. I can rotate the nook and the UI changes orientation. Nothing else does anything as far as I can tell.
Anyone else seen this problem? I've searched, and even tried to post to the dev thread, but I can't due to low post count.
Help! (and thanks in advance!)
*.gz img file not recognizable & not zipped
Hi. I rooted my Nook with Autonooter and love using it. YouTube and all work fine, but I would like to redo with CM7. I have all that I need, except I'm caught with the img file this time round. It has an extension .gz. Win32DiskImager does not recognize it. Some sites say that it needs to be unzipped, but it's not zipped. I hate being stuck before even beginning. I hope that you can explain why I'm having this trouble. TY!
The .gz file is just a compressed .img file.
There are a number of Windows apps that can de-comress the file, for example: 7-Zip
Martyn
Hi Martyn, Thanks again. Now, DiskImager is coming up with an error when I try to write. It says that there is not enough space on the disk. The unzipped img file shows to be 117megs, while my SD card is 16gigs. After I got the error, I chose to format the disk but have the same error. Do you mind to help again?
I saw this suggested: "I did a full format (not quick) and used WinImage to write the SD card instead. Works every time since then," by TL Jester here. I"m just curious why there always seems to be a roadblock.

I had this same problem, i discovered that it created a partition on the sd card... I had easeus partition master home edition, which i used to resixe the partition and you can see your full 16GB then.

I had an error message like this too. It turns out it was because I was trying to use the internal card reader in my laptop. I bought an external USB card reader, and it worked fine with the same card.

Ditto, same problem, same solution. When you write the image to the card it seems to create a default boot partition of 117mg. When I tried to put both the rom and gapps in the boot partition after writing the image, I got that message (but not every time). So I made the boot partition bigger before adding rom and gapps, using Easus. I increased it to 150mg or so, that was plenty.
One time image+rom+gapps barely fit in the boot partition, and while installing I got an error that said not enough space in disc. I redid it, making the partition bigger, and it worked. I think the installation process may temporarily use some of that boot partition space.
(I just want to state im no divoluper nor do I claim responsibility to what you do to your computer/devices. i'm a tinkerer, a jack of all trades, and a master of none. i'm just here trying to help others where we keep failing! Tinker On!) This is also a WIP! I work 12+ Hour Days, but I will make this better!!!)
So I found a driver fix for Windows 8.1 64 bit that FINALLY after a day of messing with it, was successfully able to update the driver for the Fastboot/ADB "Android Debug Bridge" portion in Device Manger for the Nvidia Shield. I have a Lenovo Y500 Dual GT650 SLI laptop and for the LIFE of me, no matter what I tried it didn't work. Universal ADB didn't work, Minimal ADB didn't work... this was finally the fix for ME at least...my computer recognizes Fastboot on both 3.0 AND 2.0 USB ports (;
Step 1 - (Uninstall Previous Drivers)
- With your Shield Booted in to android, and USB Debugging enabled under Developer Option, plug your shield in to your pc, and Uninstall any previous drivers for Android Fastboot (universal ADB) Via Device Manager - (Start+E) then click Manage at the top, then Device Manager once computer management is open.
Step 2 - (Disable Driver Signature Enforcement)
- Unplug Shield, then move your mouse to the bottom right of the screen so the side panel pops up. Click ("Settings"), then ("Change PC Settings"), then ("Update and Recovery"), then ("Recovery"), then ("Advance Start up Restart now"), then ("Troubleshoot"), then ("Advanced Options"), then (Start up Settings"). then ("Restart"). Once your computer restarts you should see a list of options, you want to click number 7, Disable Signature Enforcement.
Step 3 - Download Windows 8.1 Fastboot drivers
Once your computer starts back up, download and extract the FOLDER from this ZIP to your DESKTOP http://www.mediafire.com/download/i3lcm7dwl581518/ADB_Fastboot_Drivers_Win81.zip
Step 4 - Re-install and correct ADB Drivers
Open Device Manager again, and Plug in your shield while it's booted into Android. Wait for the drivers to install like normal. if you see any exclamation points, right click the device, hit ("Update Driver Software"), then ("Browse my computer for updated driver software"), then ("Browse") then click "Desktop" and the ADB Driver folder then click next and it should pop up RED saying Install or Not install. you obviously want to install...Click next and you should be good! Now to check fastboot! LEAVE DEVICE MANAGER OPEN!
Step 5 - Correct Fastboot
Driver Unplug and Turn off your shield. Once it is OFF, press and hold the BACK/HOME buttons then press the Nvidia Center Key on the Shield. This will put you into Fastboot. Once you're IN Fastboot, plug your shield back into your PC. it should install the WRONG driver for Fastboot AGAIN and should show an Exclamation point, just follow step 4 and you should be able to update it to the correct driver then Wallah! You can now use Hexitnow's Toolkit "Shield Ram" Flawlessly! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661067
Hopefully this works for you guys, it worked for me 6 times now!, I uninstalled everything and did it again and she booted into fastboot using his tool and then rebooted once in Fastboot. I was then able to Unlock the Bootloader, install CWM and Root Fine Just fine!
Confirmed working on Windows 7 64 bit also! I've Used 5 other peoples PC's/Laptops to confirm. One thing I can say is they've ALL been 64 bit verison's of Windows 7/8. haven't tested on 32 bit...who has 32 bit anymore anyways?...haha

64gb SDXC card fix
After some tinkering I discovered a way to finally get my Nvidia Shield to recognize my Sandisk Ultra 64gb Micro SDXC card via the shield.
It wont recognize the Standard format of exfat/128kb cluster size, and NTFS format wont allow the shield to write to the card. So I was experimenting and found that if you plug the card into your pc and format it exfat/2048 cluster size, the Shield WILL read it and you are able to successfully erase the SDXC card via the shield under the storage menu! Success!! I am now able to Read/Write from the 64gb while my shield is plugged into the PC and from inside android, 4.4.2 ROOTED of course (;
Step 1 - Transfer files from SD card to PC
Take your SDXC card out of your shield and plug it into your PC via card reader and copy all needed/wanted files from the card to your desktop. Start+E/Double click SD card/ Highlight and copy all/Paste to Dsktop
Step 2 - Format SDXC with your PC - YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING
Now you need to format it to something the Shield can utilize. go back to my computer "start+E", and RIGHT click your SD card and hit FORMAT. Then Change the cluster size to 2048 and hit quick format.
Step 3 - Format/Erase SDXC with your SHIELD
Now eject your card from your PC and plug it into your Shield, and go to Settings/Storage, then scroll down and hit ERASE SD card. It will take about 10-15 seconds but it is formatting it to be able to use it properly.
Step 4 - Transfer Files back to SDXC card
Now copy all your important files that you saved to your desktop back to your SDXC card on your shield either by plugging the Shield into the PC or by taking the card back out, and plugging it back into a card reader... which is faster...and there you go you should have a totally usably 64gb card!
If This has helped you at all be sure to like my post and comment with tips/suggestions or thanks!
Did this help?
Let me know if this helped! I know I was excited! Nothing like owning a powerful laptop and not being able to unlock/root a shield even when you're giving the tools in dummy form!
Screenshots!
I went through and added some screenshots just for the extra help needed to show what to do! I uninstalled my drivers yet again to go through the process and it took all of 1 minute including reboot. Enjoy!
64 g sd card fix
The sd card fix work great thank you
Now I'm wondering why I never had a 64GB card issue. I don't remember changing anything before I used it. I wonder if I made it FAT32 in my sleep one night :/
tadahhh
Glad it worked for you guys, I use a Samsung EVO 64gb card now and had to do the same thing but boy she sings!
Thanks man, i finally get to work adb on mi w 8.1 tablet,
I formatted the card in exFat with the cluster size at 2048 but the shield just changed it back to Fat32.

Hi,
Any chance of another upload for "Asus MeMO Pad ROOT.zip". I don't have a pro mediafire account and so I'm having to download each file individually. Can't even see the filename that you refer that needs to be unzipped to the SD card root (am I being a bit dim maybe)? Anyway, please be kind enough to reply to me, I have one of these bricked on my desk.
Many thanks,

Hi guys,
i came up with a temporary to unbrick LG G4 H811 , you just need a 32 GB SD card ( i used Sandisk 10 class) , the dump that i will link , and Win32 disk Imager, the SD card must low level formatted.
1- download this dump
http://www.mediafire.com/download/nkaarfueu161run/H811-10N-fulldump.zip
2- put the SD card in the PC and chose the dump file and write ( run as admin ):
3- put the sd card in the phone plug the battery and power on.
now you will be able to enter Download mode, the problem is that when you flash a firmware, it goes to the SD card rather than the EMMC memory. the Dump is included with TWRP recovery and an unlocked Bootloader, so if someone happens to know how to access or mount the EMMC memory that would be awesome
Guys this solution is for H811 bricked by Firmware downgrade, not for deffective devices (serial 505) which Bricked on there own
EDIT : if you can enter TWRP recovey , check if your EMMC memory is alive by typing in terminal : cat /proc/partitions
if you see both mmcblk0 and mmcblk1 , congratulations !! your EMMC is alive , if not , you can use the SD card as your primary storage and flash either a custum ROM or KDZ

hard bricked my g4
I saw this post and jumped at the opportunity to try something different than what ive been trying. I will post back with results on whether or not this process was successful. I hope someone finds a permanent solution to this issue. All of my rom flashing experience comes from the HTC M7 (Sprint) which I found out extremely fast is a lot more forgiving. I flashed a rom to my G4 and as soon as I rebooted my phone wouldnt power on or show any signs of life although in device manager it shows the phone as a "port" then qualcomm 9008,,,,, Anyway, fingers crossed!:good:

3- put the sd card in the phone plug the battery and power on.
now you will be able to enter Download mode, the problem is that when you flash a firmware, it goes to the SD card rather than the EMMC memory. the Dump is included with TWRP recovery and an unlocked Bootloader, so if someone happens to know how to access or mount the EMMC memory that would be awesome

Unfortunately I dont think this worked for me either. Unless there is something Im doing wrong.
Using a Sandisk Ultra 32GB SD Card with a Sandisk reader to put into the computer, WinDisk32 and the image provided phone shows signs of life! My battery is dead but it is charging. It is now boot looping to Secure Booting Error - Error Code: 1006. I will get a real charge on the battery now and then play around. Thanks for this!
Unfortunately it will not stay on the Download Mode long enough to do anything. But at least there is life.
This got me on the right path and I did fix it like this. I downloaded the H811 V20o dump from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/unbrick-lg-g4-h815-9008-qualcomm-t3452853) Link to file here Link .
After I did this I booted up to download mode but would not get a USB connection (go figure) so I booted to TWRP and flashed the Bootloader for H811 20i and the Boot from Here.
After I rebooted this allowed me to boot in Download mode with a USB connection. Once I saw that I removed my MicroSD flashed the 20o KDZ and I was back up and running!
Hopefully this helps anyone stuck!

After I got back into Download mode and the PC recognized I pulled the SDcard out and used LG UP to flash the 20o KDZ.

How did you get into recovery mode to flash the .bin you mentioned? I just keep getting the Secure Boot 1006 error and boot loops on Download mode.

If you can boot off the SD card, plugging in the USB while the phone is off and holding VOL UP will get you into Download mode. If you need to get to recovery hold VOL DOWN + PWR until the LG Screen shows then briefly let go of PWR and hold it again. This will give you the normal recovery options, select yes 2 times to boot into TWRP.

Awesome, so I saw the recovery but after I select yes two times it just black screened. I restarted the phone by pulling the battery and tried imaging twrp to the drive. Did it again and it just restarted to that 1006 error after selecting yes twice.
Now, I have flashed everything that did work and nothing comes up kind of baffled at what happened might be my SDCard is doing something wonky so will have to check another card when I have time to go buy one.

Just to clarify. When the imager was done writing to the disk. Did you have an actual image or a folder with files that said image?
Update:
And as I type this I just flashed the singleimage.bin again and I am able to get into the Factory Reset page.
-----Old Post-----
Shows up as like an 86MB partition with 11.9MB free space.
Inside there is an "image" folder with around 178 files in it. This happens when I image either the singleimage.bin, the H811-10N-fulldump.img, or Dump_H811_1GB.img.
The H811-10N image used to work, as did the systemimage.bin. But now nothing I am flashing to the MicroSD is pulling up the phone.

Thanks for the quick response:good: How did you flash the single img bin? Was your phone on when you did that?
Ok so I did the following using the singleimage.bin file:
- Win32DiskImager > 32GB MicroSDCard.
- Eject the SDCard from Windows.
- Battery is out of the phone.
- Put the SDCard into phone.
- Put Battery into Phone.
- Plug Phone into Computer (not sure if this is necessary)
- Boot loop with Secure Boot 1006 error.
- Hold the Vol Down + Pwr until LG. Let off Pwr while still holding VolDown then press and hold Pwr till Factory Reset is up.
- Press Yes twice
- After this I see the Secure Error 1006 message faintly come up.
- Reboots to BootLoop, no TWRP.
It feels like I am missing something here. If anyone can correct me I would appreciate it.

Please use the 10N dump that i provided , clean your SD card using SD Formatter
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
and flash it with the 10N dump ( it has unlocked Bootloader )
