[General Questions and Answers] bspielman:
I'm attempting to install Gingerbread on my NOOKcolor by using auto-nooter-3.0.0. Since the NC had already been rooted, I decided to wipe it clean, which then required me to re-register it as if it were brand-new. I then used the B&N website to download and install Android v1.1, a requirement for auto-nooter-3.0.0.

Then, using the provided instructions, I downloaded and unzipped auto-nooter-3.0.0, and, using the Terminal application on my Mac, burned the resulting .img file to a Class 6 microSD card that I had erased (after backing it up to the Mac) using the Mac's Disk Utility app.

Following the instructions, I ensured that the md5 hash value was correct for the downloaded ZIP file, and that the contents of the SD card were what was to be expected, according to the provided screenshot.

Further following the directions, I inserted the SD card into the disconnected NC, plugged the NC back into a USB port on the Mac, and allowed the NC to boot up.

However, when it did so, after a while, a large Android icon appeared in the middle of the screen surrounded by "rays," after which the NC booted into the old B&N standard format, not Gingerbread. Most, if not all, of the additional apps contained in the auto-nooter-3.0.0 file appear in the extras, but the device itself appears not to be running the upgraded software.

I've performed these steps several times, all with the same result.

What's wrong?

If I turn the BT on it hesitates for like 30 sec then it doesn't turn on.
[Nook Color General] dkapell:
Try a hard reboot, (press the power button until it turns off, then turn it back on)

That's worked for me when I have that issue
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
You can also try booting into CWM, going to the advanced menu, then "fix permisions". For some reason doing the fix permisions in CWM instead of rom manager works better for me. It might for you.

Getting BT working

OK buffnutz1, here's what I did. I went into ROM Manager and did a "Fix Permissions" and then I did a hard reboot. When I restarted CM7 I was able to get BT working no problem.

I have also bought CoPilot Live 8 and use my BT GPS receiver to turn my Nook into a fun BIG navigation device.

Just rooted and installed Perfect Storm. What app or program can I use to freeze and remove apps as well as dump bloatware?

My original rooting had a pair of apps that did this but when I switched to Perfect Storm, I seem to have lost them.

Any input would be appreciated!!
[Thunderbolt General] HarlyFan:
Titanium Backup, but you must buy the Pro version to be able to freeze and unfreeze! Good Luck....
[Thunderbolt General] wascapsfan:
I actually have titanium pro. I wasn't aware that it had bloatware removal.

THANKS!!!!
[Thunderbolt General] bawol:
I just rooted myself and have TiBU installed. When freezing apps, it will show "Freezing [app name]" and then just sits there with the circle animation.

The app does not respond with the "menu" or "back" softkeys, and only after pressing the "search" key does it go back to the TiBU screen, with the selected app now being "frozen".

It's not a huge issue as the app does it's job, I just don't know if there's an issue when other functionality is needed.

Anyone else having this problem?

Don't know if anyone remembers or not but when the first few sdk ports for GB came out the overscroll glow effect was present inside the stock GB launcher. For some reason (I personally have no clue) this feature isn't present anymore?

I'm using CM7 and after extracting the stock launcher from the sdk image I get nothing, any tips on where I should be looking? I searched and I can't find this question asked anywhere, thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chancy319:
Sorry, if my title is a bit loud but I need some serious help with my G2. Now I'm not new to Android or rooting in general but I'm no expert either. I had the G1 since around launch and rooted it several times successfully, and even installed some ROMS on it and done the same on other Android devices for my friends. I decided to finally give my G2 the same treatment. I tried to do permroot with Visionary and after a minute or so, my phone restarted. However, it is stuck on the green and white HTC boot screen. I tried a factory reset with the power and volume down button but that didn't work as well. I am currently sitting here as I type looking at my paperweight G2. Please, what do I do to get this thing back to normal? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nonentity018:
Do some research before you root. A lot of people have problems with visionary and there are hundreds of discussions that warn against using visionary for perm root.

Do a search, there's plenty of threads for reparing a soft brick.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chancy319:
Sadly, I thought I did enough research but I was wrong. :( The damage is done and I was just to return this thing back to normal. Root or no root, I don't care for now. I you can link me to one of these threads you talk about, that would be great.

Here's the guide from the Dev section for recovering a semi-brick.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842495
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nonentity018:
Just do a search within the g2 forums for "soft brick" you should find something fairly quick. You can throw "visionary" into that search, too, to narrow it down.

Edit: nevermind someone nice found it for you. :)

And I've rooted two G2's using the visionary(temp root) and gfree method which only takes about five minutes and doesn't need adb. It's reliable, you can see all the steps (so if something goes wrong you know exactly what), and if something does go wrong, you just try again. I highly recommend this method.

[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
The subject isn't overly loud. But it is useless. A big portion of the posts on here are by people seeking help. So titling it with more specific information on what you want help with is more appropriate.

I think you're going to have to be MUCH more specific. There a MANY different if/then suggestions in the guide. Which did you try? Do you have ADB installed on your desktop computer? Can you get into shell?
[G2 and Desire Z General] chancy319:
Thank you for the response. I have been refreshing over and over waiting for one. I tried to use ADB but I don't have ADB installed on my computer so that didn't work. I also tried a "Fastboot" but that didn't work as well. Basically, all I can do right now is just the "Power + Vol Down" and it takes me to the "multicolor" menu.

If it's of any help, here is what it says:

VISION PUT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.82.0000

MICROP-0425

RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

<Vol Down> to next item

<Power> to select item

FASTBOOT (in color dark green)

RECOVERY (in color light green)

FACTORY RESET (in color red)

SIMLOCK (in color blue)

IMAGE CRC (in color brown)

I'm just stating the above details in case they're of any help? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lainvalenajr:
Yea... you don't use the visionary prem root until you have s-off. Wish you get out of the semi brick friend.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chancy319:
Yes. I have been searching and searching the whole night (I haven't slept :() and this is the same thing I keep coming across. I really wish I knew all about this BEFORE I clicked on permroot and I really attribute this to my thoughts that Visionary was actually a good way to go. But I really just want to get my phone back to stock state (the way it was).
[G2 and Desire Z General] chancy319:
bump....... -_-;
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
Not sure if this will be feesable, but if you got it with Tmobile, why not try to get it replaced claiming it doesn't boot (since it really doesn't) and see what they say.

Will do some research for you as well and get back to you as I am at work now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Skellyyy:
Guys do you still get S-Off using the visionary + gFree method?
[G2 and Desire Z General] guhl99:
Hi !

Try flashing the stock rom again.

Get the PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip from http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision

Put it on the root of the sdcard (using an card reader) and rename it to PC10IMG.zip

Make sure that the phone is fully charged when you start this because in hboot mode (the "multicolor" menu as you call it) it will not charge and you should not run out of power while reflashing the stock rom.

Do the "Power + Vol Down" boot that takes you to the "multicolor" menu.

It will boot into the blue mode and after a second it will start to scan for a file called PC10IMG.zip.

It will load the file and ask you if you want to install it. Select yes.

During the install the screen will go blank for some seconds -> don't panic.

If you receive an error about the main version then we need to find a different way. In this case try to find me or someone else on the #G2ROOT irc channel on freenode.

Hope you make it - have fun - Guhl
[G2 and Desire Z General] astriaos:
Yes I used this method to root two different g2s some day and a half ago. the first g2 it took in only one root attempt, the second took two.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chancy319:
Ahhhh....that makes sense. I shall try it once I gt my hand on a card reader. Thanks so much. I shall report the results to you. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] chancy319:
Hey, Guhl. I downloaded the file and put it on my card but after loading it, it gave me the main version error :(:

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

Press <POWER> to reboot.

What do I do next? I'm guessing that file is out of date or something?
[G2 and Desire Z General] guhl99:
No the file is not out of date, but your phone has the OTA 1.22 version applied and therefore we need to downgrade your version in the misc_partition 17.

I wrote a utility called misc_version that is normally used for this but to be able to use this we would have to be able to boot your phone.

I would really invite you to try to find me at on IRC channel #G2ROOT on the freenode network where we could try to find a solution. I am mostly there at evenings/nights and my timezone is currently UTC+2.

have fun - Guhl
[G2 and Desire Z General] ryandaneri:
Well it sounds like you tried to permaroot with s-on...i researched it and any directions ive found say:1.temproot2. Turn s-off 3.permaroot...can you access your stock recovery screen and if all you can is the multicolor screen your device has been bricked cause my friend could only access that screen and adb wouldnt even pull up his phone(nor did the computer). But if u can accsess ur recovery ur not bricked.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chancy319:
So I tried out adb like you said and that failed as well. It simply says "device offline". I don't know what else to do now. I've scoured and scoured these forums and the rest of the internet to every end but every thread or website just leads to one dead end after another. I've tried and I'm tired. Don't know what else to do. FOUR whole days now with nothing to show for it. Thanks a lot to ****ING visionary I officially have an expensive brick. :mad: One click my ass. Welp, time to say goodbye to this phone and go to the T-Mo store and play dumb. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to get a replacement.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chancy319:
Ummmmm.....I KNOW. That's what I've been saying. I tried permroot with s-on....blah...blah. Yes, I can access the Hboot screen but when I click on recovery, it simply shows a picture of the phone with a red triangle and a red exclamation point inside it. I'm guessing it's trying to load a file that just simply isn't there. Don't know what else to do....this is ridiculous. Never had this much problems rooting the G1 but thanks to the recent efforts by manufacturers to make sure people can't do what they want with their devices, I have a bricked phone. Awesome...
[G2 and Desire Z General] tun4f1sh:
On the recovery screen (with the red exclamation point) can ADB see your phone?
[G2 and Desire Z General] guhl99:
Hi!

Well if you can the I really would suggest that you have T-Mobile replace the phone. The case the you seem to have (S-ON, stock hboot and recovery and Version 1.22, and the system partition messed by visionary) is the only situation that we can not repair at the moment.

We have been and are warning against visionary all over the place but theres always people showing up that say: It worked for me and it's super easy, bla bla)

If you can not change it back I will try to help you to find a cure for the phone but that will probably take some time and effort.

Sorry for now - Guhl (you know where to find me)
[G2 and Desire Z General] chancy319:
Nope. Just says "device offline". :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] chancy319:
Yes. I've already gone to the T-Mo store and played dumb. They're shipping a replacement device along with a "coffin" to return my expensive brick. Luckily, my insurance covers the shipping cost. Still though, I would REALLY love to find a solution between now and then so I don't have to return this thing. Thanks for the offer of help. I really appreciate it. :)
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
I like my EVO very much, best device that I had and last me more then any other phone in the market(besides iPhone) and there is one thing the bugs the hell out of me tho and is fragmentation, specially this week, we got another EVO, epic and a shift 4G(all good phones btw) in our family but since I rooted mine and I was running cm7 and the stock Evo has sense so I forgot how different they are when you use them, trying to explain something was a pain in the butt so I have to flash a sense rom to give them the right direction(person the got the EVO came from blackberry and he was lost of what to do) , well after that I'm at work and someone had a mytouch (original) and still diference , the worse part is the moto, Sammy and HTC all use different layout in buttons! Why don't they have a set up one for all Google devices? ?? I mean the EVO makes more sense to me but for my friend thinks the epic does, this is something the Google should have control from the beggining, like I said I love Android but some stuff needs to changed

I have an iPhone3GS as well and if a iPhone 4 user asked me about settings or set ups is the same but if someone ask me how to use the mail app in HTC EVO with sense is different from the email app he aosp roms come with, I know how to do it no problem for me but a lot new comers are having problem with this kind of problems . I help that much the I can

And lets no talk about updates to new version cause that's another crazy topic, man the hero got 2.1 after almost 6 months and that was it, the epic (power phone) got official froyo 6 months later, and all those little android devices lmade by LG, Samsung, etc will probably never get froyo or gingerbread .

Anyways Gizmodo just published this article about Android fragmentation and it looks like finally Google will work on it

http://m.gizmodo.com/5787565/google-finally-fights-back-against-android-fragmentation
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Man I hope so.

I have no problems with putting a "skin" over top of android, but, it HAS to be a limit. This is a prefect way for Google to slap back at the companies that are or are getting ready to lock their phones down (HTC! ><).

It is definitely getting out of hand and needs to be put in check for the sake of Android.
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
The skin is all good but like tethering it should be free for all froyo and all carriers block it, 4G tethering is nice when it works but I do t use it enough to pay so that's one of the reason I rooted
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
I don't really see your argument. Yeah fragmentation sucks, but to the average Joe it doesn't mattter. The example you used of your rooted EVO was terrible. Your EVO, had it not been modified by you would look and be exactly the same as your friends brand new EVO.

The majority of people don't even know what version of Android their phone is running. They don't even know there is a new version available until their phone tells them its time to update.

Androids fragmentation has improved greatly with the release of froyo. It becomes a double edged sword when it comes to OEMs having the ability to modify Android. It gives us consumers choice, at the expense of receiving slower updates. The problem is people need to vote with their wallets if they want change. People are voting with their wallets because they are buying phones with motoblur, sense, and touchwiz.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
People are buying phones with motoblur, sense and touchwiz because for the majority.. that's all there is.

Where are the phones with Vanilla Android? Not everyone has access to a Nexus S or even knows what the difference is. That is definitely why Google needs to step in and show what Android really is.

Skins/UI's are fine and choice is always great. It just needs to be done in a cleaner, less bloated way. I really hope google reins it in a little bit..
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
actually, from home screen, menu button, settings, scroll to accounts/sync enter it in the same way on every phone
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
normally, I would agree with this statement, except this:

MOST people don't choose to go to a carrier because of a phone (or skin on said phone), they already have a carrier they have a relationship with, and get whatever phone the rep says is "the best thing right now", and "hey, it's an android!", without knowing what that really means.

then they often find that the phone they purchased has very little in common with their friends android, diminishing the inclusiveness a shared brand should have. (think iphone) among other things mentioned previously like support, updates, etc.

Sent from my calculator watch.
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
Yeah well is just diferrent stuff Guys be open minded on what people wants, I know most here like to work for our phone and I say this cause we flash, modify, and do all sort of crazy stuff and I like it but no everyone is like that some people want something the works for them, a smartphone should help you to make your life easier and replace multiple devices, books and sometimes aagendas and to get this experience right Google needs to step up and make it happen(gingerbread got the copy and paste updated and works better then froyo or eclair) , HTC is clearly the first one going the right direction with sense and then everybody thought they have something better like motoblur and touchwiz and just makes a lot difference for the user using it , Google needs to drive they experience and should make sure manufactures updates their devices the way everyone has the great experience that we (xda users do)
