[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baker2gs:
I had the same problem too, I actually wiped it and rooted it again via bootable disk two times last night. The first time I did it the market automatically updated Flash and Air and this caused the boot loop again. The second time I flashed the Flash player fix zip posted earlier in this thread before reboot. It appears to have stopped Flash from auto updating. I have decided not to take a chance at updating Flash for now to risk another boot loop fiasco.

I didn't want to take a chance with Air so for now I've frozen it to prevent it from auto updating. If I unfreeze it I do not have the option to turn off auto updating and I'm not sure how long it takes before that option appears, I really don't want to take the chance and have to go through the process again.

It seems to be working correctly for now.

This is discussed in the first post of this thread:

Market has limited visibility - This is a known tablet issue, not just a NOOKcolor one.

1. Start Nook Color Tools.

2. Select the "All Settings" button.

3. Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)

4. Choose "Manage Applications" from the list.

5. Select the "All" tab.

6. Scroll down to "Market" and select it.

7. Tap "Force stop".

8. Tap "Clear cache".

9. Tap the Back button if you have SoftKeys running, else swipe right to left on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (from the clock to the book icon).

10. Scroll up to "Google Services Framework" and select it.

11. Tap "Clear data".

12. Tap "OK".

13. Tap "Force stop".

14. Press the n button to return to your launcher.

15. Start Market.

16. At the "An error has occurred" message, tap "OK".

17. Hold your power button to turn off your NOOK Color from the menu.

18. Turn your NOOK Color back on and give it a moment to find your WiFi connection.

19. Start Market again, and the problem is resolved.

Does anyone know if there's a thread discussing this specific topic (I searched - didn't find anything)? I did eventually get it to work, but the steps above didn't quite work for me. Specifically, in step 16 the Market said there was a network or system problem (I forget) and the button said "retry", not "OK". When I rebooted and started market, it was right where I left it, with the "retry" button. I went to Nook Tools, forced close, cleared things, tried again. And again. I think the time it worked, I cleared "data" in the market (steps say to clear cache in Market and Data in Google framework). I just kept messing around and it finally worked, but I'm hoping for a more precise fix for my brother, who I convinced to root his nook.

And kind of funny - as soon as it worked it updated flash since I had cleared my preference not to. :rolleyes: I wasn't sure if this would be a problem or not (this thread shows mixed messages) so I ran the fix apk without powering down.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobioden:
I got the boot loop. I did the 8 shutdown, updated to 1.3, installed 4.5.25, then 4.6.16, then did the Flash update.

My market opens but I can not get any of my previously installed apps to show up so I can install them again. Apps like Angry Birds, Dolphin Browser, Moon+reader, are not even showing up when I do a search for them.

I followed all these steps under the first tread relating to Market has limited visibility and I also get the RETRY instead of the option OK. Everything else seems to be working fine.

Any suggestions on how I can get my previously installed apps to install again?

If I go to Android Market on my computer I can see the apps that were once installed. I just don't see them on my NC anymore.

My market version is 2.3.6, Is this the latest version??

Same Problem with boot loop

I had the same problem today, stuck in the boot loop. My rooted NC did an auto update last night for Adobe. GMPower, I see your link for the fix and without sounding like a complete idiot, how do I fix it if I cant get it to turn on ? Do I connect to my computer with a usb ? I hate to start over, I love it the way it is.

ok, I see the other posts on how to do it - shouldve looked first !!

Seems the latest Flash Fix in post #7 doesn't work with the latest Flash update? Is my understanding correct that Flash and AIR updates will work OK as long as we completely uninstall Flash and AIR before installing a new version?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DatterBoy:
I am getting boot loops with CM7. No idea if it is the same thing you guys are seeing with MN. I am unable to get anywhere but if I put a bootable SD in with CWM, it does not loop. Apparently, it feels like it is getting to the CWM screen but not displaying since if I hit the "enter" button it reboots (first option in CWM boot menu is to reboot device).

Thoughts? Is this Air or something else?

The original boot was done from the CWM App as a request to backup current room. Once it rebooted the system, it entered boot loop without doing the backup.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azsl1326:
I got the boot loop again tonight for the 2nd time in as many nights. First time around I did not see this thread so did a complete wipe and reinstall. This time, found the thread, but the FlashFix.zip is not working. Tried a combination of updates via CWM, but nothing seems to work. Unless someone has any other ideas, looks like I am going to have to go thru the whole process again. The ironic thing is that the reason I rebooted was I made a backup in case this happened again.

Quick question. I don't seem to have Air or Flash installed. It is not seen in /system/app folder using Super Manager, it is not listed in any list of apps (or in list of APK's in Super Manager's APK manager). I also don't see them listed in TiB.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lownita:
I have found so many guides on how to calibrate battery best. This one: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15450518&postcount=3 Or this one: http://theultralinx.com/2011/07/calibrate-androids-battery.html

Or: just charge until full, wipe batterystats and just let it run out of power, then recharge to full again (that is the easiest one). So would the last one be enough, or do you have to do it the complicated way to get best results?

Also when draining the battery until the phone shuts down (after deleting stats), should it be used normal or can I just run some applications to use up battery fast?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atlaswingpasaway:
what i used to do was:

charge to full once,

unplug, (and you will see sometimes it goes back to 99%),

plug again for a few minutes,

unplug,

go to recovery and wipe battery stat.

then reboot and use the phone NORMALLY until it shuts off (set the brightness to highest for next step).

BOOT straight into recovery and leave the phone until it dies again because there will still be some juice left.

while off, charge it,

when it gets to 100% while off, unplug,

then plug it again for a few minutes,

then boot up normally.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianmay27:
Ive heard you should never "try" to over charging it by unplugging and plugging back in.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanav:
There are a lot of rumors and myths about battery calibration (and a lot of threads on this forum and copy-pastes on other blogs).

Personally I don't believe in long rituals with precise times and percents. Battery has build in controller, that can't be wiped. And Android has battery history file, that can be erased (butdoes it have any sense?).

Please, post link to authoritative source of information about battery calibration, if anyone has it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Use the phone till its out, power it up via download mode to really drain every last drop. Charge it with the official charger while its off, once charging is full power on the phone let it boot properly and resume to charge maybe for 5mins then your done. Battery stats bin = totaly myth.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atlaswingpasaway:
i hear you and i was reluctant to do that as well. but since new Li-Ion batteries have some sort of "overcharge protection" mechanism on them,

the batteries will stop taking in current automatically once they reach maximum mAh (not the battery stat maximum, the battery itself).

dangers related to charging are incompatible chargers, screwed up wall sockets, surges, etc. Know that companies nowadays keep saying "USE ONLY <company> COMPATIBLE CHARGERS"

because these chargers/cables also have this tech where current just stops once it's full.

well the "theory" was that since the battery stats is kernel related and gives battery "readings", when the number gets < 15, it will give out the warning to charge, then when the number gets to 0, it shuts off the system. This may happen but the battery MAY still have some power left in it, it's just the battery stats that says "hey, i see it zero, turn us off".

This scenario may happen to a screwed up battery stat reading, which is solved by wiping it's top charge number (1650) and the bottom charge number (0). the next boot will create a new

source file for the battery stat, containing no data then upon boot complete, the system will record the current battery level as top charge number to the battery stat. when it drains out, that

will be the new bottom charge number.

i do not have a wikipedia or engagdet source but Team Whiskey (a well known dev/mod team for Vibrant) of the Samsung Vibrant forum here in XDA explained it themselves.

I Modified the SystemUI.apk from Chogardjr3D v0.9 to display 1x and 3g instead of the default 3g always. I have never done this before so use at your own risk!

I have sucessfully pushed it to 2 evo3d's and verified it works without issues.

To install:

Download from my dropbox.

Connect your phone to pc via usb cable.

Open ES File Explorer and mount system directory as writable (under settings).

Open terminal in the folder the SystemUI.apk is in.

type: adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk

Make sure you delete the SystemUI.odex using ES File Explorer.

Reboot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.

Enjoy 1x/3g display. Dont forget the thank!

Thanks Rob.

I pushed this after flashing the circle battery mod and the battery is still there, but wanted to note that my location icon disappeared and media volume, and auto brightness & auto location toggles were added to my quick settings notification bar.

here is my problem ...

i tried to do an update for 3.2 because its much faster and the device downloaded the update of 360 mb but it wasn't applicable and an error message appeared , so ive downloaded a honeycomb rom from the developers here and i coped it to the external sd and when i try to flash it i get this image that am attaching which shows the message that am getting , i think its saying that the system is still not fully packed or something , any way how can solve this issue , please help me guys

thank u for reading my message
[Acer Iconia A500] dottat:
you don't appear to have clockwork recovery loaded....

I would download a legit acer rom (no beta, etc) and copy that to your sd card and get that loaded. Once you load that.. root and install acer recovery so you can flash clockwork recovery. That will allow you to flash custom 3.2 roms regardless of what os you have.

also, you'll likely end up with a locked thread here as the mods will tell you to post threads like this in the Q&A section.

good luck..

Whenever I set the date format to display anything other than the terrible MM/DD/YYYY format, the option WILL NOT stick!

I have a Orange branded DHD, unlocked via IMEI, running 2.3.3, i want to install the HTC rom as i have been told it comes with far less bloatware.

I do want a genuine rom though, rather than a cooked version, so have opted for the HTC rom. I found and downloaded the following file which claims to be what i need.

Am i correct?

RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed

Or can i go ahead and install/flash?

Thanks for any possible help or tips.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acholate:
If your phone is allready rooted then, after installing the new Official ROM it will be unrooted again, You can try downgrading to the official 1.3x version and then update from HTC direclty. I dont know if you gonna have any problems

because your phone is branded, but i dont rly think so. Im just a user using roms etc, have no idea for further instructions!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wid0w:
Considering you paid a hefty sum for your Desire HD, i strongly recommend you first find your branded rom somewhere in the dev forum first. Just in case you have to reflash teh stock rom for warranty issues. For the rest, I also recommend downgrading to 1.3x first and then flashing whatever you want (cooked roms need s-offs and root). I have a guide in my sig on how to root, s-off and flash a rom, however, stock roms are executables from what i know so you might not need to follow my guide just plug in your dhd with drivers installed and let the exe do its work. Regarding downgrading, you will find a link in my thread to the "Downgrading to 1.3x thread". Have fun

Edit:

I know of 3 ways to brick your dhd:

1. Partitioning your sd card with clockwork mod recovery 3.0.2.5

2. Editing some esf files or something and mistyping something

3. SMashing your phone into a brick wall repeatedly

So, don't worry so much, it's not a galaxy S :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leethedon1:
Yes, the file i have is an executable file. I think it is the most recent genuine HTC rom available for this device.

So, that being said, i should not need to root or downgrade etc? Just double click & go?

Surly you should not have to root your device when wanting to install a different, but still genuine rom?

I have found it very difficult to locate stock roms for this device.

Going to have another search now, but if anyone knows a shortcut, i'd be more than gratefull :)

You will need to downgrade first as your device is branded. Once downgraded just run the RUU and Bobs your mothers brother.

If you have an orange dhd you will need the orange upgrade. I'm pretty sure if you try to use a different one it won't let you do it. I'm not 100‰on this.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leethedon1:
@ ghostofcain

And to downgrade is it just a simple rom flash? Or do i need to root or s-off etc first?

I know this would be the case with cooked roms, but i'm only talking about Genuine releases here.

I'm currently running an Orange branded 2.3.3 ROM, so if i simply flash an older rom to the device, then i am all set to flash the newest HTC generic rom to the Desire, right?

That older rom i need to flash first, it would have to be Orange branded too right? Is there any chance you could give me it's exact name or provide a link?

Thanks greatly for the help.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiztedvvv:
Once you have downgraded you don't need root or s-off to flash the RUU and you don't have to flash an orange branded one. You can flash any updated .exe.

if I have time ill find you a link..

*EDIT*

Also bear in mind if you flash the orange ruu. Or any other branded rom. It will still have all the bloatware you are trying to get rid of.

You must flash a standard HTC one. Go to the HTC website and download the official update from there. You will need to downgrade first though.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leethedon1:

That's the problem, the HTC 2.3.3 rom was only ever released OTA, and is not available to download from their website.

Although i think i have managed to find the ".exe" version of that rom.

From what i can tell, this seems to be the newest, Genuine HTC 2.3.3 rom for the Desire HD.

So, i just need to downgrade and then install this right?
