Cannot pass a welcome screen
I just got my GTablet. Power it up first time and it did not ask me for any setup (no welcome screen and agreement acceptance). I played couple minutes and power it down (have no time).
So now I powered it again and did get the welcome screen (surprise ) but after I select “Agree” with a agreement and press next – I got message “application unexpectedly foreclose, please try again” . And I tried many many times but I cannot pass this message.
Can some one help me? Should I return it right a way?

Depends, If you are adventurous, you could download and re-flash back to stock using any one of several posts that detail re-flashing youre tablet (Look for NVFLASH BACK TO STOCK), if not then I would return it.
In any case, once you have a working unit, you will most likely want to replace the stock ROM with one of the updated roms that the developers on this forum have created. There are FROYO, GINGERBREAD ROMS that are very stable and fully functional. There are a couple Honeycomb ROMS that are in alpha stage.
Spend some time reading thru the threads before you make a decision and good luck
Look at this POST for re-flashing your tablet back to stock. READ the entire post before trying!!!

Thank you folks, I am kind uncertain about refreshing my gtablet with custom rom before having fully functional original one.
what do you think is it safe ?
any ideas why original one crashed on set-up screen? does anyone had this type of issue?
thanks in advance.

Nearly everyone had this problem right out of the box: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896395
Clear all the FC dialogs, set up your wifi network, download the OTA update to 3588. After that's applied you will have a much more stable machine.
Ok, it looks like I solved it. And the issue was – NO WIFI access at the time!!!
I am going to explain as I have understood it (may not be the case but I am quite confident) helpfully it will be useful info for others.
First when I got my gtab I powered it up and did not get any “welcome screen” (where you are agree with a user agreement and set time and location as well as set up accounts). So I played with it a little bit (set-up WIFI) and powered it off. So next time when I have powered my gtab up I was in a different location with no WIFI available. And this time a get “welcome screen” but when I tried to complete the “welcome screen “it crashed (and I believe because it require access to internet). And until I get to the first location I could not pass “welcome screen”! BUT as soon as I get to the location with WIFI, everything went fine!
I may have caused this...this a.m., I picked up my gTab when it was almost finished booting. I accidentally hit the power button, which turned the screen off. I had to fiddle with it a minute to get the screen on...it kept going right back out after I pushed the power button. I finally got it on (no reboot from here).
From there, it was nuts. I was greeted with having to pick my launcher again. Then I got a slew of force closes. Almost nothing would start, and the few things I did get to run (Mail'd, Dolphin) ran like they were new installs. Rebooting did the same.
Finally, I ran fix permissions from CWM, and it would start without FCs. However, anything I had tried to start before was still like new installs (EULA, setup wizards, etc). I managed to restore some of those via Titanium.
Still, it's not back to normal. Some recent apps (like, Fieldrunners from yesterday) no longer appear to be installed. Really fubar.
Could this be caused by the power button thing? Or is it a sign of impending doom? Is there a better way to fix this other than what I've done?
Oh, and I forgot to mention...I started Amazon appstore to downloading today's app, and then was restoring old apps via Titanium. In the middle of that, it played a sound I've never heard...like a few seconds, ending with this weird sliding reverb. But...I wasn't sure if that was Amazon's download finishing in the background? Usually I wait on the download. But it was longer than a typical notification sound.

Wow, I am experiencing the same situation as you. I didn't hit any power button either. I am on VeganTab 5.1 and now contemplating a flashing to a new GB ROM.
Sorry, man, it really sucks. Obviously, I didn't get much feed back as to what or why. Fortunately, I had a not too old backup with Titanium, and was able to get most things back with just a few clicks. Other things I had to set back manually. Took me a couple of hours to get back to what I thought was "right".
I did figure out the odd noise was a ringtone, and it had set my email notification to that ringtone sound. It wasn't even on my tab before, as far as I know. So I have no idea where that came from.
I'm thinking of Flashing to Cyanogenmod myself. But without knowing the why...it still won't make me feel too much better.

Thanks TarheelGrad. I did a permissions fix and that has worked for me too. Not sure why it went bonkers.
Noobie!!
Rooted my Nook Tablet. Think I did everything correct...although I am thinking maybe not. Is it possible for it to work but have some sort of bug?
Here is what I mean: I'm new to the android market...but why am I not seeing apps like facebook and angry birds. My wife has an android phone and she has all of that. Also...and here is the biggie....when I turn on my Nook...I go to the ADW Launcher screen where my apps are, however, I don't think my "N" button is doing the right thing. If I press it once, my actual Nook menu pops up (like it would out of the box before I rooted it) and if I press it a second time, it brings me back to the B&N main screen that was there before I rooted it and I then can't go back to the Android screen.
Anyone have any thoughts? I am really frustrated at this point!
Thanks
Bob

well its not clear what you did,did you follow all the guidelines,like installing drivers etc .Im reasonably tech savvy but even i found it a little bit challenging,esp installing windows drivers. start again and follow the instructions carefully..one last thing double click the n button, that would bring up any launcher you have installed rather than clicking it twice. with a little patience and effort youll get it sorted out .you dont have a bug...rooting the nook tablet is a multistage process,including opening up hidden settings,usb debugging,windows drivers etc. and i think having firmware 1.40 good luck its a supurb tablet

I'm a noob too, but I've been reading this site for the past 24 hours trying to fix-up my Nook Tablet. As for Android Market, even though you rooted your NT the Market still recognizes your device as a NT and won't let you download apps that apparently won't work with the default Nook launcher. If you do some searching sometimes you can find a .APK file you can download using your browser and then install the package for an app you like. Just be careful about where you download from to avoid any malware.
As for your "n" button, it sounds like Homecatcher isn't setup right. Uninstall Homecatcher and reinstall it to see if you can get it to work. Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356206
Good luck.
Hi -
I'm not sure what functionality you're seeking. This is what I did with my year old NC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448186
It's fabulous. No brainer, goof-proof (if you follow the well written instructions down the line). One issue I have is trying to get the remaining space on the SD card I used to show and therefore allow content. But that's not the mod's fault. I have another post pending an answer to that on the Q&A forum here.
I can recommend this set of dual boot mods to you without reservation. For me, it was almost "too easy"...

OK Guys, I don’t like to bother you until I have already tried everthing I know how to try. The error and solution should hopefully become quite apparent to you once I explain, as you experts are far more knowledgable regarding Android than I will probably ever be.
I am a long time coder and IT manager, with a Bsc in Computer Science back in the early 90‘s, probably before a lot of you were born, sadly for me.....but, as I am sure you can relate, most of the errors I have run into are self inflicted because I HAVE to try the newest Rom, the Newset Kernals, the Newest tweats, Loaders, Launchers, Beta programs, even worse, ALPHA testing, etc, etc and I have wiped and rebuilt so many times it’s sickening.Factory resets, for me, are an ABSOLUTELY LAST RESORT, as I have my tablet set up for my Business Network(s), my home business network, my home entertainment network, multiple VPN’s, and a few custom apps that I had to write myself as there are none out there that do EXACTLY what I need them to do, so doing a Factory Reset is a very large undertaking, and even with Nandroid and other backups, I still have to spend days reconfiguring, initializing, and debugging (basically juggling to get them all to work in a semi harmonious configuration!)
Tablet: Motorola Xoom WIFI MZ604
Rom: CM-10.1-20130605-Nightly-Wingray.zip
Kernal/Loader: TWRP_2.5_RedLacE_Mjamocha_Theme.zip
Launcher: SPB-1.6.4
Fortunately, or at least I hope, this problem is a little different:
Everything has been running perfectly for more than a couple months. I have had no installation issues with other apps, no gliches, no delays, no slowdows, no anything. I wanted to reboot into recovery to do a Nandroid backup, since I hadn’t done one in more than a month. When I pressed the power button for my reboot options, I noticed, for the first time, an option that said “Desktop” (normal). Of course, curiousity getting the better of me, I tapped it, and it switched to “Desktop” (extemded. or Enhanced, I am not sure exactly which one). As soon as I changed that, my Xoom IMMEDIATELY jumped into the Cyanogen Boot Animation. It stayed in that state for about triple the time it normally does on boot, but eventually the main start screen came back up, so I tried to unlock the screen and return to what I was doing. Unfortunately, as soon as I touched the screen, it once again IMMEDIATELY jumped back to the Boot Animation. So I rebooted again, leaving it long enough so that Circle, a program that can act as a screen saver, among other things kicked in, so I thought I was OK. All I wanted to do was hold the power button down long enough to bring back up my power menu, but, alas, LITERALLY, the second I touched the power button.....BAM, back into B.A. No matter how long I left it, no matter what I have tried, always immediately back to the B.A.
Now, I have Full access to all files from Root Up, and can edit or delete any of them, so, logically, there has to be a configuration file that stored this Desktop Enhanced selection, which, by my logic, is about 99% chance of being the cause of this current issue. I believe the option is part of the SPB launcher, but could be wrong, since I have instaled a couple programs that add options to the reboot menu, however, I really do believe that it’s from the SPB Launcher.
ANYTHING that ANYONE of you would be able to do to assist me in fixing this WITHOUT haveing to do a factory reset and restore, would leave all of you forever in my debt.
Thanks so much in advance, and, though I will be checking the posts frequently, feel free to email or PM me.
Regards, Jason

Hello, all. I've been playing around with my X920D and I've tried installing InsertCoin 3.0.6, but after the installation completes and the phone boots, I get stuck on a screen with what appears to be a default wallpaper and nothing else. If I slide down from the top of the screen, I can make the notification bar appear temporarily, but it goes away again after about a few seconds. There is no launcher, there are no icons, and it the phone's language seems that it is set to Japanese (or possibly Chinese, I'm not really sure). If I press the lock button, I can get to the lock screen and it displays a clock, some more text in I guess what is Japanese, and I can swipe to unlock and go back to the empty desktop. I can also change the volume, take screenshots, and connect the device to my computer (which recognizes it as an HTC Butterfly) and look around through the internal storage, but I'm kind of stuck if I want to do anything beyond that.
I've installed TWRP 2.7.0 with SELinux support, the bootloader is unlocked, and the phone does not have S-OFF. I'm really puzzled, because I'm able to flash a boot image with fastboot, I can install a ROM and the installation completes and the phone boots, but it doesn't seem that the OS has any functionality at all. I've also tried this with the NOS ROM, and I ended up with a black screen and a notification bar, pretty much exactly the same situation as what is happening with the InsertCoin ROM. I've looked through several threads here, I've seen a few instances of people having this issue, but I've not seen a solution for it. I've wondered if I might need to flash a new kernel, but I'm not entirely sure if that would solve the problem. Anyhow, if someone is able to provide assistance or knows anything about this issue, I'd be very appreciative.
EDIT: I've been doing some more digging, it seems that I don't actually have an X920d despite the back of my phone having "X920d" under the volume speaker (my phone has red capacative buttons and there was a European charger in the box when I went looking back through it for other clues). The ROMs I've tried were for the X920d, so I suppose that is the reason that they aren't working on my phone and why I'm encountering these weird problems. I'll see if I can locate a ROM for the X920e and try that out, but it doesn't seem like there is a version of InsertCoin for the X920e If everything goes well, I'll update here in case anyone else has this same problem.
EDIT 2: I was able to download a what looks like a stock Chinese ROM for the X920e and install it, everything went fine and my phone seems to be working now. I've still been unsuccessful in finding any other more custom ROM, but I guess this will do for now. If anyone happens to be reading and could point me in the direction of a cool ROM for the X920e, I'd be grateful
