[Nook Color General] blahbethany:
Problem: I'm NOT tech savvy, which is why I asked my brother to root my brand new Nook Color over Father's Day weekend when he was at my house. He got about 50% through and left :mad:. He said the rest would be "easy" and to follow a YouTube tutorial. I seriously doubted this. About a minute into trying it on my own I encountered an error (detailed more below) and every time I try to follow the workaround I get discouraged and ignore the Nook for a few days as an avoidance mechanism so I don't fall into a deep depression. A friend suggested this forum because you guys are (hopefully) nice and understanding to people like me.

I'm looking for some serious hand-holding help. I'll probably have a lot of questions that will seem silly and obvious to you, and I apologize for that in advance. If someone is willing to IM me on Gchat that would be FANTASTIC and so appreciated but definitely not expected. Really at this point any help would be appreciated since I spent $300 on something I haven't been able to use for almost 2 weeks.

I watched the "Noob" video upon registration and have tried my best to follow the workarounds on the forum, but it all feels like I'm reading another language to be honest with you. I'm not familiar with what the files my brother downloaded on my computer do, how rooting works, or anything. So here's as much information as I have and if I'm leaving anything out please let me know.

YouTube - Here is a link to the tutorial my brother used to begin the rooting process. I took over after he did all the fancy stuff to the SD card. I started by putting the SD card into the Nook and basically all I did was a bunch of glorified clicking. I got the error at 10:58

XDA - Here is a link to the work-around to fix this error. I basically don't understand what to do AT ALL. I got lost at I need this put into special-needs simplicity. THIS sounds like Greek to me ---> "As many of you know, the newer Nook Colors come with a partitioning that allows 5GB of space (/data -- ext3 partition) for apps and B&N books/etc, and 1GB of space (/media -- FAT32 patition) for user side-loaded content. The older Nooks had the reverse: 1GB for /data, and 5GB for /media."

Here is all the stuff my brother downloaded and that is still on my computer. I don't know what any of these do but it might help anyone that's trying to tell me what to do:

My computer: MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.7

Nook Color was purchased on June 19. I don't know how to figure out what version of the operating system I have since the screen is stuck in something that looks like MS Dos to me. YES, THAT'S THE ONLY THING I CAN COMPARE IT TO, lol. MS Dos. But at the bottom it says "ClockworkMod Recover x3.0.0.5"

In other news, I'M REALLY REALLY MAD AT MY BROTHER. I asked him to do it to avoid this whole mess. But now I'm left with a Nook I can't read on and I'd like to be able to use it.
[Nook Color General] nook-color:
I'm not familiar w MAC, but if you can burn an imaage to your SD card, you should be able to follow the instructions in the developer nook forum and follow the "size agnostic CM7 SD card." Topic. IT should get your device running off a SD card root bypassing the messed upinstall on your nook. You.'ll be able to use your nook asap, and the instructions are newbie approved.
[Nook Color General] blahbethany:
To be honest, I don't know how to burn an image to an SD card. And everything after that point on your post doesn't make much sense to me. I can try to find that topic though...

When I say I'm "tech-retarded" I really mean it. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING, haha.
[Nook Color General] nook-color:
This topic
[Nook Color General] yourm0m1:
wait....if its booting into clockwork mod then you basically just need to flash a rom and/or a kernel. i would recommend cm7 http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore get either the latest nightly 118 at time of me replying or just below get the RC cm7.1 which stands for release candidate, but i would just go with the nightly. put that downloaded zip onto your micro-sd card somewhere easy to find and remember....i created a folder named cm7 for all my flashing. then insert the sd-card, reboot the nook, on that "dos" looking screen scroll down (using the volume buttons) to "install zip from sdcard" press the N button to select > scroll down to "choose zip from sdcard" press the N > find that file/folder you just downloaded and put on the sd card and press the N to select it > it will do its thing and if it were successful in flashing it will tell you so on screen. press the power button to back up to the previous menu > press the N on "reboot system now"

let it boot, the first boot can take some time (minutes)

if all went well then you will be running off CM7. play with it for awhile before you decide to flash an OC Kernel, or a different rom.

good luck...
[Nook Color General] ehrune:
It's not clear from your message what the error you're getting is, but at 10:58 in the video they're formatting the /cache. Are you getting an error at this point, so you want to execute the procedure described in your second link?

If so, you need to download one of the partitioning packages in the second link, probably "c", and also the Reformat-data package. Copy this to your SD card using Finder. Re-insert the card into the Nook, reboot into ClockwordMod Recovery. Select the "install zip from sdcard", select the file for the partitioning package, and install that. Reboot into recovery again, and do the same thing again, but this time select he Reformat package.
[Nook Color General] methodz:
Okay so you aren't tech savvy that is all good. You don't need to be to kick your brother's a$$

You should make him finish it.
[Nook Color General] mitchsurp:
Hey Bethany. Glad you found xda okay. Can you confirm that what you see is at 10:58 in that YouTube video? Because that's a program called ClockworkMod, and it's darn useful.

If you can get to this screen, we can point you in the right direction.

When you turn on your Nook Color, what does the screen at the top say? Verbatim will help.
[Nook Color General] danvee:
Hi!

Sorry that he left you "high and dry", but the following might help:

A method using a Mac-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpdHS6CaQGc

The other method is to force the Nook to fail to boot 8 times in a row using this process:

Eight interrupted Boots

1.Power off the nook.

2.Tap the power button.

3.As soon as Welcome to the future of reading appears, hold the power button down to interrupt the boot process.

•If the boot animation does not appear, add 1 to your interrupted boot count.

•If the boot animation DOES appear, your interrupted boot count is reset to zero. Start over.

4.Repeat from step 2 until your failed boot count reaches 8. At this point, the nook will re-flash its /system partition. You will see the process on the right.

This should bring your Nook Color back to the "out of the box" condition, allowing you to start fresh.:cool:
[Nook Color General] brianf21:
Do you know how to install an irc chat client onto you Mac? If so, there is a chat room for people needing help and a lot of people there to help you. The channel is called #nookcolor. Basically you need to put the sdcard into you Mac and copy the image, the 7.0.3 is the one I think you downloaded. Eject the sdcard and put it in the nook with the power turned off then boot the nook. Choose the install zip from the sdcard. Also the image you have is kind old using the encore link eariler in the thread.
[Nook Color General] mitchsurp:
For posterity, and so I don't re-hash my steps, here's what BlahBethany and I tried to get the nook to boot.

1. Since the Nook booted into CWMR, we tried flashing cm7 (success) and gapps (success). The Nook booted back into CWMR after rebooting.

2. Tried wiping the cache + data, rebooting. Still did not boot into CM7, only into CWMR.

3. Tried undoing everything with a stock Nook image, got an error that the Nook was unable to wipe /data, but /system wiped perfectly.

I think her brother used an old bootable recovery image, which is what caused all the problems. brianf21 has pointed this out. Thanks!

Rebooted to the Nook button screen. If we can get this correctly running the original Nook software, I'll walk her through re-rooting with an updated Recovery image.

I'll post in this thread for my own sanity, and for anyone else who has had this problem.
[Nook Color General] irisclara:
I know lots of noobs like Bethany and I have a question here. Has anyone explained to her that there's a difference between rooting and installing CM7? This seems like the sort of thing she might not know. Depending on how she uses her nook she might be better off with rooted 1.2. It would be simpler for her to do as well.
[Nook Color General] brianf21:
When you rebooted after the flash, did you remove the sdcard?
[Nook Color General] mitchsurp:
we did. It wouldn't get past the nook screen. She's running nookie froyo now, but it's slow.

When I have time I'll get to flashing stock, re-rooting and trying cm7 again.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghul:
nop.....no way....cannot be done....not possible... and search the NS forum for 720,HD recording.. there were threads like this and it was concluded its not possible....if it was you would see roms with 720p on them or something.... try LG camera from market to record with MP4 if it gives you any satisfaction.

even i used to wonder the same thing when i got my nexus s first..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
no... there are 10 other threads about this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lapalways05:
can you link me thread please?

I know 720p isn't possible but nexus one 720p hack isn't true HD

so is there how can I do this?

And I've talked to a person on youtube who've uploaded 720p Nexus S recording

and said he's using Oxygen ROM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDjsLV4JCUw&feature=channel_video_title

his video
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetlo:
He says right in the comments that it is 720x480. That's not 720p. 1280x720 is.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lapalways05:
but youtube upscaled it to hd video like how they did it with the nexus one hack.

How was that possible?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetlo:
Upscaled is the key word there. It isn't true 720p. I mean look at it. It looks like a scaled low res video.

Edit: I know you said you don't want true 720p, you just want the hack. But really if it looks like crappy upscaled video, what is the point?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
youtube does that for every video, it sets it in different p's but its not true 720p.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
for rooting that is. i rooted my inspire 4g couple days ago using bubby323's method. loved it. this method is what was recommended to me. now attnn1's method was recommended instead. i dl'ed it and looked at the effen manual, and it seems slightly confusing, maybe i'm missing something.

anyway, i was just wondering what everyone's preference was for rooting, and why. thank you all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Hack kit was much easier for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tekkeun:
i used bubbys. but why are you rooting again?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
i took my phone in and exchanged it, simply put b/c the volume button came loose and i wasn't comfortable with it like that. yes, i put everything back to stock and unrooted it first as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Hack it. Menu driven with no need to enter terminal commands. All I had to do was put the phone in usb debugging a couple of times and make menu selections. I found the effen manual to be consfusing at first, but once you open up and start running the program, it becomes more clear. The effen manual is telling you more what the process is going to do for you than what you need to do to run the process, which is making menu selections.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
i see that now, thank you!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
i seem to be having a problem with the ace hack kit...
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
What is it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
on the 2nd step of downgrading. it doesn't seem like it's actually downgrading the phone. in the cmd it says it's clearing the cache, but when all that is said and done, it reboots back into the phone like normal, no setup to go through like the manual suggests. i hate to ask such a noob question, but does the fastboot need to be on or off or something? i feel like i'm missing something. during the 2nd step am i supposed to be doing anything manually or is it still doing everything for me?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
You need to run as an administrator with a good gold card, good usb drivers, antivirus completely shut down, usb debugging turned on, and the usb connection in charge only mode. With all this, when you run menu 2, you should get the downgrade rom. If you don't, then there is an issue with one of the above.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
when in the process of step 2, is there anything i need to be doing myself?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
ok it went through step 2, rebooted, had to go through setup and change to usb debugging. did that. i'm supposed to hit the 3 on the cmd then right? i did that, and it turned off and now i have a red triangle with an exclamation point in it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
did you flash clockwork recovery?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
No. As long as you have all that I mention, you select menu 2 and have to do nothing until it reboots. If you are not rebooting into a downgraded rom, then something is wrong. It could be a bad gold card. I created my gold card with the gold card maker and then just picked up with the hack kit on menu two. The gold card creation process in the hack appears to be the same. Make sure all antivirus and malware detection is disabled, including anything Windows if you are using it. If you got the usb drivers from Sync, make sure Sync is disabled or uninstalled. I didn't use the sync drivers because I already had them installed from the sdk.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
no, not yet. i was at the step of run through setup and turn on usb debugging. it says to temproot again? what was i supposed to do here? and how can i get rid of the triangle? i do apologize, i'm just a little bit confused at this point
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
yes, i finally got it to boot into the downgraded rom, but i'm stuck again. i swear i made it through the other method of rooting before, so i'm not sure where i'm messing up here. i'm in the downgraded rom now, just went through the setup and turned on usb debugging.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
hate to bother, but can anyone point me in the correct direction once i've made it to the downgraded rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
All I did was make sure debugging was turned on, made sure that the usb connection was still charge only, and started option 3 in the menu.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
so if i understand correctly, once i turn usb debugging back on, very usb charge only, i go to cmd prompt and hit 3?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
thanks for everyone's help. i finally got it through the final steps. now is there any recommendations for any radio's? or can i leave it as is?
