I am trying to update another PE. this is my 3rd update on a 3rd machine but this time something went wrong. everything was fine and great, updating to ermine and allmine and gapps and everything, until i tried to remove my gmail account after testing to make sure it work. there was no way to do that except to do a factory reset. i did not know what it would do but thought that the worst would be that i would have to redo everything. so no problem. but then there was a problem. after the reboot my i was still with ermine, which i was pleased with but i noticed that i wasn't asked to register either. then i noticed reader screen would not initialize in order to calibrate it and so i skipped it planning to do it later. after the PE setup then i was met with the Nexus One setup. i skipped that too and thought if i needed to i could come back. so my PE was set up and all seemed to be well, even market worked, until i tried to do anything with the reader. the boot-u seemed to go well and after i skipped the calibration screen it initialized, at least that what it looks like. it has that Read, Write, Surf stuff on the page. however, as i said, nothing works on it. it will open no books (in fact when i tap on the reader icon nothing happens) will not open a journal page, and my library freezes too. i have spent about eight hours trying to find an answer and working with it my self to no avail. i downgraded to dingo, which went well, but did not fix the problem. then i tried upgrading to ermine again using PEONLYGoldenAllmineErmineRC3.zip but that would not install. i held menu/rotate down for 10 minutes for at least 3 times and it never worked. so i finally let it reboot as search for possible answers and start this thread. i type slow and am also watching the PE so it has been about 1+ hrs. and within that time it has restarted on its own at least 4 times. one thing i noticed when i decided to leave it and search was that the SD card was not mounted. the message at the top of the screen was "preparing SD card" but then the ongoing process was (is, at the moment) "checking for errors". and another thing it started up in safety mode for a few restarts but is no longer on/in safety mode. it is still restarting periodically and before it does the screen goes black for a bit and then it restarts. after about an hour and a half the library was no longer frozen but the reader still is not working yet there is a change. now the reader screen has the first calibration screen up, but that is a far as it gets. it is still rebooting every no and again. anyone have any ideas or can tell me a little about what is happening? thanks
