[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zennmaster:
This EXACT situation happened to me YESTERDAY, and this is what I did to flash back to stock for a warranty return/repair:

1) I downloaded the stock 1.2 update .zip from this thread. This .zip has been modified to be flashable via CWM. There are two versions, one that retains CWM, and one that erases CWM in favor of stock recovery. If you're going to be sending your Nook in for repair/replacement, I would recommend the stock recovery version.

2) I mounted my micro SD via a standard SD adapter onto my laptop and copied the .zip from step 1 into the root directory (easier to find for later steps, but you could put it anywhere on the card).

3) This is the hard part: I then inserted the micro SD into the Nook's slot, and held it there with my left index fingernail. This hurt after a few minutes, but hey, no pain, no gain, right? ;)

4) Holding the card in place, I booted into CWM, scrolled to "mounts and storage", and then "mount /sdcard". I then backed out to the main CWM menu and made a nandroid backup (this is optional).

5) After the nandroid completed, I selected "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard". I then scrolled to the zip I downloaded in step 1 and hit "n". This flashed the stock, unrooted system 1.2.

6) I probably should have done another factory reset at this point, but I didn't. I rebooted, and ended up in a bootloop on the Nook splash screen. Luckily, I was able to get into the stock recovery using the method from this post. I was able to perform a factory rest from the stock recovery, and BAM! I had myself a bone-stock non-rooted Nook Color that is all ready to be sent back to B&N for a warranty repair/replacement!

I hope this helps, it seems to have worked for me. Make sure to give that thread I linked to earlier a good look, those guys did some good work getting the update sorted out.

Oh, and be ready for a sore finger! :)

EDIT: If you don't have any way to mount your card in another device, you could probably use the sore finger method to hold the card in long enough to move the .zip over via USB.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moSess:
Thank you for this. I kind of came up with a similar fix. I used some scotch tape to fatten up the end of my sd and achieved the same result. I was able to flash this -->http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914690&highlight=stock

It worked great. I just wish there was a method to flash the Nook without the sd. I know this is one of its greatest strengths. Just if you have a sd hardware problem, you're toast

I'll be happy to check into this for you. May I have 2 - 3 minutes of your time to research this information please?

12:40:24 PM CustomerMHX

sure

12:43:56 PM AgentRodney

Thank you for holding, I appreciate your patience. The manufacturer has informed us that mobile.dailysteals.com is not an authorized reseller for their products. As a result, the manufacturer cannot verify the parts and accessories of this product as sold by this site.

12:44:06 PM AgentRodney

In order for this site to sell this product, it is either not new (direct from the manufacturer) or has been altered in some way and no longer contains original equipment. Therefore, we will not honor this price match request.
[Xoom General] eaglecomm:
Retailers will say anything to keep from having to match a better price. Interesting that in 3 minutes they were able to get a response back from Motorola that some site is not an 'authorized reseller'. I sit on the phone with them for 15 minutes just trying to get to speak with someone! :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EShow:
I'm looking for a new ROM to use -- I'm currently on CM7, but it always lags a bit and I have to reboot quite often to get different menus to appear that aren't.

I'm looking for something flashy, but still quick and battery-efficient. So far, I have tried MIUI and IncRom, with my favorite so far being IncRom.

Any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
If you're getting lag on CM7, then its going to be way worse on a sense rom. What CM7 version and kernel are you using? It sounds like you may have an obscene amount of apps installed/running, or something else in your setup must be off. What is your rom installation procedure? I never had lag with CM7 or any issues accessing menus and I don't think my experience is unique.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:
Personally, I am having really good luck with newtoroot and wdfowty's inc2 roms. Newts is basically stock and wd's inc2 remix has some 3.0 added on top of the 2.1. Both are very good on battery and smooth as well.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
I have a VZW gtab and I have been running KhasMeks Voodoo plus v5 kernel for at least 3 months now. All of a sudden today I was getting a ton of fc's. So I rebooted and when I got back in it said that my System UID's were inconsistent and I should wipe data partition or something like that. I read around and people had tons of different ideas but I didnt see any that acutally worked other than reflashing.

So my question is should I just factory reset? And if I do that I need to disable voodoo before hand correct?

Any help is greatly appreciated
[Off-topic] pandamaja:
Call me crazy, but I see a lot of android in this.

I didn't get my MBP until the Feb refresh this year, so I'm by no means an OSX power user. I can't pick out whether some these features are brand new or if they were there in snow leopard or earlier. And I've only been using lion for a few days.

Swiping between spaces is a lot like our android home screens. Launch pad is like opening the app drawer. Mission control is like pressing the home key twice on many android phones.

I know Lion is supposed to be the initial step to combining osx and ios, but in that they've made a lot of similarities to android...so in that regards, yeah, I think I like lion so far. :)
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Can we finally sue Apple for it? That's the only relevant question in XDA.
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
1. Don't really know..

2. LaunchPad is new, but it looks more like something from iOS (with the folders and stuff)

3. Mission Control, better known as Exposé is like 10 years old now :p

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bahurs1:
Anyone ? or is this just not possible?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorionl:
one way would be to restore your xrec backup and then export your contacts to sd card. no need to use backup & restore!

I dont get it how does it work!That would be the second best option(restore from sim with I got a new one all empty..-.-)!
[Galaxy 3 General] vijeshkunimmal:
To all developers,

I am using G3, i am able to connect to my office wireless and acquire ip address, but to access internet i should add automatic configuration script. Can you please suggest how to do this. or is there any workaround to get the internet working at office network.
[Droid 2 General] JJTheJetPlane5657:
I just rooted my (R2-D2) Droid 2 two days ago using the app z4root (via 4shared). I'm on stock 2.2 (and by that I mean what came on the phone, so it's actually a light Blur 2.2)

Then I wanted to get rid of some of the bloatware, so I downloaded Bloat Freezer (still available on the Market) to do that. After freezing whatever apps I saw fit, I returned to see my homescreen black. I did some research and apparently this stems from "freezing" something to do with MotoBlur. I know for sure that I froze "Files" and "AccountSync", which apparently caused this problem with other people.

Supposedly a factor reset would fix it, but it didn't. So that's why I'm here.

So first I tried a normal reboot. That didn't work. Then I did a factory reset. I got all the way through the Setup Wizard, and then it took me back to the "Touch the Android to Begin" screen instead of closing to the home screen like normal. When I try to go through the Wizard again it crashes after syncing an account. I've tried three or four factory resets and this happens every time.

People had this problem while they were on other ROMs and supposedly flashing back to the original OS (not stock, but "stock" i.e. what Motorola put on the phone before), but I'm not on any other kind of ROM so I don't know if that would help.

Should I flash back to the original? Can I even do that if I haven't flashed an alternative ROM? Should I just try flashing to a different ROM (MIUI or Bugless Beast)? Can you even flash a ROM if you can't access most of the phone (the only things I have access to are my email [when the message icon pops up] and the hard reset menu thing)?

Note: Sorry if this isn't in the right thread, I couldn't figure out where to put malfunction type things. Mods can move it to where ever is appropriate. I also searched both XDA and the entire internet and either no one has this problem in the EXACT way I do (i.e. not on any special ROM) or the thread is extremely, extremely dead. So that's why I made the decision to post a new thread about it. Thanks!

Edit: I re-flashed my phone with RDS Lite, and while the homescreen is back it's extremely, extremely laggy. At first I thought it was broken again until I realized it was just taking so long to respond to my finger swipes. Right now it's trying to download 46 apps in the background, so I'll wait until that's done to try again. But I had faster responses even when everything was all broken and it was trying to install 46+ apps..
[Droid 2 General] DeBaKai:
Those people were right. Find the .SBF file for your version of the Droid 2 and sbf back to "stock". That should fix you problem.
[Droid 2 General] JJTheJetPlane5657:
I'm in the process of RSDLite-ing right now, I wasn't sure if it would help though.. Stay tuned!
[Droid 2 General] DeBaKai:
It should. Good luck.
[Droid 2 General] JJTheJetPlane5657:
Is this going to un-root my phone?
[Droid 2 General] DeBaKai:
I believe so. But it should be relatively easy to reroot.
[Droid 2 General] JJTheJetPlane5657:
UGH, IT TOOK AWAY MY R2-D2 BOOT ANIMATION......

Also, I noticed that you have the MIUI ROM. Do you feel like it performs better than stock? Faster? Sometimes I feel like the Blur-lite was a little laggy..
[Droid 2 General] DeBaKai:
Did you use the file specific to your phone? Either way, you should be able to get it back. Someone ripped out all the stuff from the R2D2 phone back when it came out. It's on the net somewhere.

I love Miui. It definitely performs better than stock and is much faster. I love the polished menu system and the included GB features are great. I especially love how you can customize practically everything. It has also greatly improved my battery life. I've been getting up to 20 hours on my standard extended battery. Good stuff. And if you don't like the iOSuck look of Miui, you can always download a different launcher (like ADW) and use that (like I did). Overall it performs surprisingly well considering it's on a locked phone. :)

(I've played with CM7 on my Incredible and PE on my now retired OG Droid. Miui definitely performs better.)
[Droid 2 General] JJTheJetPlane5657:
Well apparently not.. I'll have to try and find the boot animation again.

And yeah, a lot of people have been saying the stuff about the battery life.. Have you ever tried Bugless Beast? Because that's the other ROM I'm stuck between. So I'm not sure which one is performing better on people's Droids
[Droid 2 General] DeBaKai:
I haven't used it yet, but I have heard good things. I probably will try it at one point though.

Like others have told me, you're just going to have to try them and see for youself. Different people have different experiences so it is difficult to determine which is better without some kind of experience with them.
[Droid 2 General] JJTheJetPlane5657:
Is MIUI all in English now? I know about a year ago there were sill some things in Chinese (like the call button for example). From the pictures they showed on the official site of the Droid 2 port it looked pretty English, but I can't really find much more information on it than that..
[Droid 2 General] DeBaKai:
Yeah it got fully translated. It's all english. And very polished.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDR0iD:
Guys when applying my fiancees photo as a wallpaper it streches over multiple screens, how can i apply to fit it to the whole screen and stop the scrolling, it isnt rooted etc its completly stock and new today.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
If your pic is not 480 x 800 resolution you can't set the whole pic as wallpaper. Any 480 x 800 pic will fit perfectly for portrait wallpaper. Select the portait mode when setting wallpaper: you have 2 options when choosing the pic, to fit on all scrollable screens or just on one screen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDR0iD:
Thanks mate that's brilliant.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
Ah didn't know that about the stock launcher. I wanted to recommend you Launcher Pro that has an option to not scroll the wallpaper when switching homescreens.

[HD2 General] SecondNipple:
When trying to install any ROM (original or Task29 for example) it gives me the error code 266.

When I am in tricolormode it says: upgrade rom code error

Doesn't matter which SPL version is installed.

Windows 7 64 Bit also fails to install the Qualcomm driver correctly.

This doesn't happen with other HD2's!

I also tried different USB-Ports.

Any suggestions?
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Have you tried flashing from SD?
[HD2 General] SecondNipple:
Flashing right now...

RCUST -

UPDATE FAIL
[HD2 General] orangekid:
That's not good, radio fail :(

Try these things:

1) put phone in plastic bag then fridge for 10 minutes, try SD flash again.

2) if that fails flash a ROM that does not contain a radio.

Some HD2s get to a point where they cannot flash a radio for some reason, maybe bad NAND blocks, maybe something else in the hardware.

You can also try an MTTY task 2a, supposedly that fixes bad blocks in NAND sometimes.
[HD2 General] SecondNipple:
Thanks for your advice...since it is not my own HD2, the owner will send it back to HTC and see if they can fix it.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Did the owner flash HSPL on it?

Do not send it back unless it has stock SPL, splash, ROM etc...
[HD2 General] sefaozen:
On the device, screen slide to the Settings tab > Other > USB to PC > uncheck Enable faster data synchronization and try again.
