You don't have a recovery; http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/PC36IMG.zip Download that, place on the root of your sd card, boot into the bootloader, apply update, reboot, reboot in recovery, and you'll be on Amon_ra 2.3 recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobes:
That's the new plan.

I've tried UnrEVOked three times, all to no avail. Still the same result.

And yeah, I tried ROMManager + Superuser from the Market but they didn't work. Definitely no root.

I figure that I should be able to push clockworkmod using fastboot from my computer. I'm having a bit of trouble tracking down the right recovery image though.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobes:
Ah that one got posted as I was typing... thanks for the upload. I'll try it now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobes:
It worked! Thanks teh roxxorz. Now I'll go ahead and actually get superuser, install CWM, then restore the backup and hope for the best with 4G :D

Update: I'm done and everything works flawlessly. Including 4G. If anyone has the same question, I can tell you that it's definitely possible to restore to a nandroid backup, provided that the radios are reasonably close to the originals.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vtran03:
So... as the title says I tried to root my phone. I'm following the CM 7 wiki guide and i got up until step 6 but I did not install cyogenmod 7 I just rebooted (i thought you just reboot and hey it installs but i guess not). So it rebooted to the original rom and then I just downloaded ROM manager again to install it. It goes through clockwork and then it reboots again so... i thought it successfully installed but it didn't because my phone was stuck on the HTC boot up screen unresponsive. So, I've been googling and so I pulled the battery and did the whole power on + volume down. It took me to the screen with fastboot,recover,and stuff but then it changed screens to the could not find PC10img.zip and wanted me to update. So i updated it again and it rebooted to the HTC screen and stayed there. Pulled the battery again, took out the SDcard, and then did the whole power up + volume button. Now I can choose the options in this screen (fastboot,recover,factory reset,simlock, system info, image crc).

Now I don't know what to do.... I want to continue to root to cyogenmod but I'm soo confused how to get back to installing it properly. Thanks for the help in advance!

edit

perhaps, i might just have to delete the PC10img.zip file? i have an mircoSDcard reader at home and if I delete it then loading into hboot should be fine..... right?

update: nevermind! i fixed it!
[Nook Color General] mattdogg02:
Ok, backstory, picked up this Nook Color on craigslist, came with Honeycomb v4 on microSD, booted fine into that, but without uSD would boot to 'n' screen and freeze/stall. Got another uSD formatted with CWM Recovery and the clean original nook image to try and load that from scratch. While following the instructions to restore the original image I would get errors while trying to format system and data (something to the effect of Error cannot format system/!). So I tried to install both CWM to the internal and CM7 to the internal and both would say install complete from microSD, but when booting without the uSD, it would still try to boot into the original nook software and hand on the 'n'.

I tried this to see if my partitions were messed up, but I had the same partition structure and size as it should be (according to the post):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13003431#post13003431

Possibly because I ran this "repartition-boot-with-stock" from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914690

Please help, would prefer to run this off the internal!

Got CM7 running off yet another microSD with this thread:

[Nook Color General] martian21:
Assuming the partition table is in tact then try formatting /system /data /cache in Clockworkmod.

If that doesn't work if might be time to entertain the possibility that you were sold a Nook with a bad emmc.
[Nook Color General] mattdogg02:
When I try to format /system /data /cache in CWM, I get an error message. What is the function of the emmc?
[Nook Color General] akaCat:
Putting it in PC terms, the emmc functions as the ROM for the bios, and as the solid state drive for whatever you're running on internal memory.

(What is the term for the tablet/smartphone equivalent of the "bios"?)
[Nook Color General] martian21:
Bootloader.

As to the OP - It's still possible your internal flash is bad but the fact that you can list your partition table gives me hope that isn't the case.

I read through JoJa15's post you linked in "Dummies Guide to Fixing 'My Nook Won't Boot'" - It sounds like you listed your partition table per his post and found that it matched what he posted but didn't modify anything right?

The fact that your partition table appears to be in tact is good but the contents of those partitions could be complete gibberish which may explain why CWM errors out when trying to format them. What is the exact error CWM is giving?

I think the next "safe" step is to have a look at DeanGibson's post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1094371

Dean's CWM scripts will essentially blow away partitions 6-8 (/data / cache and /emmc) and re-create them. If your problem happens to be in one of those partitions then his tool may be a quick fix without having to play with fdisk. That said, I doubt it will work since you can't format /system (partition 5) and his tool doesn't touch the /system partition.

At that point you are pretty much left playing with fdisk, unless you can sweet talk DeanGibson into putting together a CWM flash that will re-do partitions 4 and 5 (extended partition and /system partition) which he may do.

From there it boils down to how comfortable you are with the Linux commands dd and fdisk...?

Good Luck,

Martian21
[Nook Color General] mattdogg02:
Ok, followed Dean's instructions with the packages from his post, but still no go.

The error I'm getting when going to Mounts and Storage Menu and running the format /system /data /cache options are:

ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.8

Formatting /system...

Error formatting /system!

Formatting /data...

Error formatting /data!

Formatting /cache...

Error formatting /cache!

Really want to try and get this resolved as I want to install stuff onto the internal!
[Nook Color General] mattdogg02:
No one with any other advice on this?
[Nook Color General] GMPOWER:
Your previous post showed that you were using clockworkmod recovery v3.0.2.8, that version does not have support for the “blue dot” NC. Not knowing for sure if your NC is really a “blue dot” or an original one, I would follow these steps.

1.	Create a bootable CWM v3.2.0.1 SD card using the image located HERE. The instructions for it are located HERE. I know the post says v3.0.2.1, but it is miss-marked.

2.	Once the card is made, download the repartitioning files located HERE, and the stock 1.2 image file “update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip” located HERE.

3.	Put all those zip files onto the SD Card

4.	Shut down the NC

5.	Insert and start the bootable SD card

6.	Follow the directions to flash the repartitioning files

7.	Once that completes, flash the stock 1.2 image

8.	When that is done, remove the SD card, and reboot the device

Hopefully at this point, you will be booting into a stock 1.2.0 system. You can now do whatever you want with the device.

PC Mag and about every other site is talking about it. Here is the excerpt from the end of their article.

Here is The Patent

Rather than post my entire rant.. these are my thoughts!

While I was proud to be one of the first saying people should stop freaking out... this article is MUCH better than mine.
[Vibrant General] reddragon72:
This is the same as what if the first air regulator for diving was patented to include the general idea of breathing under water. What if Ford patented the idea of steering a 4 wheeled platform with a round object. I mean to say that if they tried to patented the idea that you can use your finger to manipulate objects on a screen it would never make it. That is to general. Besides wasn't there a Nokia phone that did that before apple? and I remember they did that on star trek and other scifi shows with real panels long before Apple.

No worries here.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ They WERE granted the patent.

My point, every site seems to say it is some HUGE BROAD patent and every other competitor is either going to get out of the market or start paying Apply loyalties. But, that is not how I am reading the patent. I think they are wrong.
[Vibrant General] Cartigan:
Advanced tech patents have been BS for decades. The Patent Office isn't not technically up to speed with the industry.
[Vibrant General] bstromberg:
i don't know man...the way it reads to me is that apple essentially has a patent on multi-touch displays. your analogy of scrollable google maps within a page doesn't seem to make sense to me. maybe you can explain your thoughts on that part better?

it also sounds like they're describing multi-touch gaming such as Gun Bros where N finger would operate left joystick, and M finger would operate right joystick.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swatsbiz:
Hi,

On my HTC Hero, I was able to access /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb and change the value from 128kb to 2048kb. however changing it with rootexplorer does not stick after a reboot.

I tried flashing it on with CWM, but no joy either (I think it checks and changes the value on boot?).

Any ideas, as this is probably a bottle-neck on this phone too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dseo80:
Its supposed to reset itself after a reboot.

everything in /sys/devices/ is recreated every boot

youd have to edit it in the initramfs and compile it into a kernel to have it stick forever (or use an init script)
[Desire Accessories] Roscobigfoot:
I just got the otterbox commuter series case for my htc desire, its the best case ever. RRP £30 but its £16 on Amazon. its got a silicone case which goes on first then a hard solid shell which goes over the top of that. it covers the headphoen jack and the micro usb slot aswell, there are little flaps that reveal these for use though. it also comes with a screen protector or "invisible shield" which is easy to put on with no air bubbles. it is reasonably thin for a solid case like this

9/10 - great all around but just a bit too thick for my liking
[Desire Accessories] Calundle:
I've had mine for a while. It's taken a nice beating, but my phone is in perfect condition. It would be screwed without it. A lot smaller than the other case, avenger or defender w/e.

I love my Otterbox (had one for my old BlackBerry, too) since it's saved me quite a few times. I don't have that problem with the headphone jack, but I do have that problem with the cover for the charging/USB port. I eventually cut it off my old one and may do the same for this one as well.
[Desire Accessories] cronus101:
I bought an otter box case for my desire a couple of months back. Since then, i have dropped my phone on hard surfaces about 5 times, but it remains perfect. However, my rubber headphone jack cover has snapped and a small piece of the bottom right corner silicone has been chipped off. Overall, i would say it does a good job protecting the phone, but look for a price region of around £15.
[Desire Accessories] UKseagull:
Agree about the price, the RRP of around £30 is stupidiculous! I got mine from an Amazon for £15.

Hi... does anyone know how to clean the shell casing? My hands are a bit sweaty and the shell casing is losing its "shine" a bit.. it's beginning to get dull.. :confused:
[Desire Accessories] juicebox666:
Cheap and easy solution: use the hand wipes you get from places like Chinese buffets. They have a mild solvent on a soft disposable cloth. Cuts the grease and grime without harming the surface of the phone or screen. Doesn't leave any residue either!

It is bulky. For me simple tpu case and protector are more than plenty protection.
[Desire Accessories] androidsnax:
otterbox

got myself an otterbox, didn't use it as I preferred the thinner, htc branded tpu case....

dropped my phone and the screen broke, had to send off to insurance to get fixed... (warranty now void :( )

I now use the otterbox... Its slightly bulkier than the other cases but it will go a long way to protect it and you soon get used to it, fits like a glove, silicone inner case to act as a shock-absorber, hard plastic casing on the outside that takes the full brunt of the force should you drop your phone..

fair enough if your mega careful with your phone, never use it away from your desk at work or the couch at home! BUT, if your like me and constantly use it while out and about then I would deffo recommend it. Have dropped it loads of times since using it and it just bounces :cool:
[Desire Accessories] juicebox666:
@androidsnax

Fully agree! My Otterbox has taken a beating. The earphone plug cover ripped off a few weeks ago and a corner is chipped out of the top left side of the hard plastic case. I'd much rather my case take a beating then my phone!

Change the name of one of the Android folders to another name (like SenseDroid or MIUIdroid) and then in that build's startup.txt (inside that folder) you must add the line (or change it if the line already exists) rel_path=SenseDroid (or whatever you named the folder).

Still in bootloader, you just unplug the usb cable and plug it back to the PC. Some WinXP will install several drivers separately upon each plug/unplug of the USB cable. The RSDlite required a few drivers for it to run properly.

Hi

Superoneclick was a struggle I had to follow alt instructions but it all worked well.

I had to get an apps installer for Clock work Mod which is something not mentioned and its existence I knew nothing about.

However major problem is now at number 14 reboot system now just brings up a red flashing moto logo and nothing else. Any help would be useful, thanks. (Brand new, t-mobile uk, red camera, still had 2.1 installed.)

Just an edit to this post I see others have had similar problems. However I cannot understand what they did to rectify it. Solutions include deleting spaces and installing something on the sd card. The phone no longer shows up in my computer so I cannot do either. The phone will not turn on, and I can only load up the bootloader or the system recovery. The former does nothing, the later does nothing even when I select the back up I made.
