[Nook Color Android Development] 318sugarhill:
I'll be honest with you, I've been running CM7 on my NC for over a year, and my Droid incredible has been running the same rom for over 8 months now that I'm completely happy with. So I haven't done too much flashing and playing around lately, so I've forgotten how to do a lot of this stuff on my Nook. Plus I use a mac, and I'm not very educated on using terminal.

I want to go back to a Stock Nook that is rooted and gets the android market (or google play). My wife has an iPad, and the only reason I went with CM7 on it was to watch MLB.TV on it through the MLB at bat app. It never worked on the rooted stock rom, but worked fine on CM7.

So after all that, my question is I have a CWM bootable SD card (but it's an older version of CWM I'm sure). It's what I used to MN before CM7. It has all the files to restore my Nook back to factory 1.1. Should I do that and reregister my nook, or should I use the link above and install 1.4, and then run this MN to get a rooted Nook again? I only use it as an ereader anymore, and I'd like my 7 year old to start reading with it. A CM7 tablet is just not as easy to use and an iPad for her, and I really don't want her to. We just want to read and get a few free google apps, instead of BN apps.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I would go directly to 1.4, update to 1.4.2, and then apply MN. Be patient with the 1.4 and 1.4.2; and make sure you load all the B&N apps and books that NC prompts you to download before applying MN.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
As the previous reply suggested, go directly to BN1.4.1 and then upgrade to 1.4.2 if you want. I didn't see any reason to go to 1.4.2 so I took the easy way and stayed at 1.4.1. Be sure to block OTA updates.

Be aware that Google seems to have wreck havoc on app visibility. So be sure you have the apks backed up from CM7 before installing 1.4
[Nook Color Android Development] 318sugarhill:
Thanks guys. I was curious as to what the change to Play would do to app visibility. If I'm don't like it, I know I can always go back to CM7. Even MIUI worked great on it, but it just always seemed more responsive with the B&N stock on it. Maybe I've just become too accustomed to the iPad. Either way, being able to watch the Phillies in my back yard by the pool and getting around the blackout by MLB by using location spoofer was well worth the $150 I spent on it! Can't to that on the iPad :)

Thanks, I'll let you know what works out for me.

Any ideas

cant get cwm to boot even low level formatted sd card.

just goes to regular nook boot.
[Nook Color Android Development] aj555:
Do this to Google Framework as well, then restart. That worked for me. Some people also rerooted, and that fixed the problem.

Had B&N 1.4.2 and used Manualnooter 5.02.19 a couple weeks ago. Now I'm having problem with some apps automatically uninstalling. Also if I'm reading an ebook in either pdf or epub it will randomly kick out and go back to the main screen.
[Nook Color Android Development] TBarb169:
I too have the "limited visibility". I rooted my wifes nook color this weekend, followed the steps to clear data/cash for the google play & google framework services. I went to the google play store website, and the site said i did not have any registered devices though. Is there something I missed? FYI she did not have a gmail account before i rooted. I set her up while registering after rooting... is this my problem and I need to unroot and then re-root?:confused:

Update: Well, i decided to install CM7. Ran the Unooter to have root on the nook, after it was done i received notifications of apps to be updated from the market! Never even got to install CM7 as the market was fully visible. I am going to chalk it up to the fact that my wife did not have a gmail account before i rooted the device...
[Nook Color Android Development] belchie:
I have a new NC running 1.4.2 and followed the instructions with CWM 3.2.0.1 and MN 5.02.19. Everything looks good except apps won't install. I see the Android market and have downloaded all apps from my Google account. I can see they are downloaded but when I try to install, nothing happens.

I've used NookColor Tools to force stop, clear data and clear cache in the Market app but still can't install.

Any suggestions please?

Please delete - Have now reposted in correct Q&A section.
[Nook Color Android Development] Shortyred:
My nook updated to 1.4.2 on its own and I can boot to rooted nook but it will go back to the barnes and noble unrooted front end for some reason. I then have to reboot. I can also side boot to cm7.1 on my sd card but it locks up. The last nooter I ran was 4-6-16.zip Will I have to wipe everything and start all over?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Hmm... you were really back there on say 1.2 and then jumped to 1.4.2, or something like that. I doubt if 5.2.19 would apply correctly, but I would give it a try just in case.

In either case, I think it will install the old version prior to Play Store, so you need to let the system update that first before reinstalling your apps. Also, download all of your B&N apps and books before updated to 5.2.19. Browse through your B&N content first before applying MN 5.2.19. It seems that the NC takes a lot of time to index and set itself up with the 1.4.x upgrade. This seems especially true with sideloaded images. Gallery tends to index and make thumbnails of them. The same is probably true for sideloaded books and documents.

MN works well with 1.4.2. The key is to start with a clean, updated NC with the B&N content downloaded. When it has "settled -in", then apply MN. :)

Oh, and follow the instructions at the beginning.

I am also having problems with not able to search for apps in Google Play Store. I tried all these methods and nothing has worked. Any other suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] jrod091:
So my market will let me search for apps, but won't install anything, any way I can fix this? I fixed permissions in CWM, but that didn't help, boo idea what else to do
[Nook Color Android Development] rubyv:
So, I am unable to do any searches on the Barnes and noble store. I can look at and purchase items if it is something on one of their compiled lists, but I can't enter a search, it always days item not find, even though I know it is a nook book. Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Try the process here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23677093&postcount=126. It is in the second part of that post and was posted earlier in this thread.

Otherwise, you may need to do a complete wipe, not only the erase and de-register part but also include the 7 failed boots method to finish the wipe of the NC. It has been my experience that the 7 failed boots appears to wipe the rooted folders/partitions. And then after boot to the setup/registration screen, power down and reflash the NC with 1.4.2 using the CWM card and a zip of 1.4.2.

Remember to download all your B&N content before applying MN 5.02.19, which takes time. Be very patient and let the NC do its work before applying MN.

Also, you might want to verify the B&N version number (1.4.2) before applying MN. If it isn't 1.4.2, then download and install the 1.4.2 update from B&N.
[Nook Color Android Development] SoFresh99:
I keep getting thrown back to factory stock by the Nook itself.

I was at rooted 1.3 did a full wipe, upgraded to 1.4.1 and used ManualNooter 5.12.18 (&20) to root. Then B&N forced 1.4.2 on me when I left my wifi on by mistake. I used MN 5.02.? back in Feb. to re-root and the nook threw a "problem with authorization need to reset" error when I used "Nook Color Tools" to access some "Settings" option (don't remember which one). Then yesterday I picked it back up again revisit the issue and ran MN 5.02.19(apps2sd) and first tried the Dalgrin kernel but couldn't get wifi so I applied the stock kernel on top.

Everything was fine and well but again when I went to configure some sort of setting (something Androidy b/c I was trying to find out where to set up GAPPS synching) I get the authorization error and it hurls me back to stock.

I have searched and cannot find anything on this issue, maybe I am using the wrong search terms?

Anyone?

Limited Market Visabilty

Thank you so much for all the hard work you guys do. I too have limited market visabilty. I erased and deregistered it; failed booted it to stock 1.2; updated to 1.42; registered and downloaded all content; waited 1 hour; applied MN 5.02.19.zip with CWM 3.2.0.1. Rebooted and registered my google account; let the market update to google play; opened google play - none of the apps I use were visable; performed the market visabilty fix; re-opened google play store - "server error" with "retry" box; rebooted nook; opened market and still the same limited visability.

Any other suggestions?

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

Success! Don't know how it worked but I completed all the steps listed above and still had no market visibility. I then shut down google play store, cleared data and cache, restarted play store and all apps where there.

Thank you!
[Nook Color Android Development] frank0:
Limited Market Visibilty

Back to limited visibility, I repeated the complete wipe and tried again. This time I can not get all the apps in the market to show up - even with trying one final market stop, clear cach, clear data. No dice this time.

Any further suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Editing device info in build.prop is about the only way around limited visibility.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I never manually edited build.prop to obtain visibility of Market (Google Play/PlayStore); and I have visibility.

I know how frustrating installing MN can be. I have erased/wiped and re-imaged, then wiped\formated \data using CWM on the NC until it turned dark metal gray. Oh, it is dark metal gray. :)

Thinking it through again, the install process is a long one. And gets interesting just when you burn MN 5.02.19. On booting to the newly rooted NC, one may or may not get registered to GooglePlay. MN appears to install an older version of Market (GAPPS), and then Market attempts to update itself to PlayStore. It probably attempts to update Gmail too. I can't remember if it asks you to register or not. If it does, then register it to Google/Gmail. If not, set the NC down for a bit, while it may (or may not) update Market to PlayStore. A power-down and reboot might assist you to prompt the update.

You may want to read GMPOWER's comments in this thread. He has posted several good pointers concerning install of MN.
[Nook Color Android Development] SoFresh99:
I found that I have limited market, but if I hit the "apps" rectangle on the GooglePlay splash page before I search for what I want, I have full market. If I just hit the search box on the splash page and type in what I am looking for I get v.few results.

I think that the MN compatibility is what is preventing me from restoring alot of my apps. I am using Titanium Pro and have never had this problem before with the other MN packages but trying to restore lots of stuff (notably Dolphin HD) causes an instant reboot. I am also never able to see Dolphin HD in the market even using the trick and had to resort to installing Dolphin Mini. So something is clearly different with this MN package.
[Nook Color Android Development] SoFresh99:
Ok so my "authorization" problem causes the NC to wipe data and reset to 1.4.2 everytime I choose the second android.settings button in the NookColor tools app. I am bound to do that again some time in the next year when I forget. Has anyone else had this problem with this version of MN (using app2sd version, I am trying the other version now~ it has same reset problem)?

I have reset the NC repeatedly in this manner. IT is weird that it doesn't revert to stock.

Is there a way I can install Kindle app after I have installed Manual Nooter?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Yes, I installed Amazon Appstore first.

Then using Amazon Appstore, locate the Kindle app and install it using Amazon Appstore.
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Or... edit build prop with the following information:

Device_Manufacturer = TI

Manufacturer_Device = Blaze

Device_Model = Full Android on Blaze or SDP

Of course.... you will most likely lose B&N instore and possibly market.
[Nook Color Android Development] neeperemiti:
That worked perfectly!

to whomever is getting auth problem. How about this crap. For whatever reason sometimes my NC will reset all the way to 1.20 and I have to redo all the steps again. SOB what is the problem with that? Sometimes it just wakes up and I get a restart screen and the NC tell me it has to completely reset. anyone else?

Also I check and uncheck so that I can install Amazon App Store, but the Install non market apps is missing from nook tools. Can someone help me with installing this. Thanks,

I've xcd35, and when I was browsing to android market it says firefox isn't available for your device :(

But I love firefox as a browser and I'm habituated to it.

So, is there a way install firefox browser on my device ?
[Blade General] saaransh9:
because its meant for armv7 and our device is not supported.

and its not open source so no way to install it
[Blade General] agpoli:
Actually there is an experimental branch of Firefox for ARM v6.

Unfortunately none of the versions I tired has worked.

Anyway, if you want to start it somewhere, here is link to another forum at here on XDA.
[Blade General] wbaw:
It is armv7 only & that's why it wont work.

But Firefox is open source! There's a guide to getting & compiling the source code here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android

You would need to modify the source to make it compile properly for arm v6, those modifications might not be easy.

There is a note on their site about armv6 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#ARMv6_.28experimental.29

The bug report gives more information: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697205

There are a few alignment bugs that need fixing, armv7 automatically fixes bad alignment, armv6 crashes.
[Blade General] shek007:
ok :(

BTW, how do I know if my mobile is armv7 or 6 ?

I could find a place in my mobile where it says it's version number..
[Blade General] agpoli:
ARMv6 or ARMv7 is not your phones version number!

Your XCD35 has been built around the Qualcomm MSM7227 SoC (SystemOnChip). It contains a processing core (the main core) developed by ARM. This core is based on an architecture, named ARMv6.
[Blade General] shek007:
Okay got it.. :)

Thanks for helping me out.. I would have surfed more and more to find a way to install and finally I came to knew that it is not possible..

Hi, I have defy+ (MB526),

I bought it with Android 2.5.6. After few attempts I Have fully work defy+ (camera, battery) with CM 7.1 but in info about phone, i Have "model number MB525"

When I try to flash ROM for DEFY+, my phone freeze on startup logo. What I can try to get defy+ rom to my phone? Thx
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slstr:
need more and better info

I am not an expert, but you must provide better info to get good reply.

1. you say "bought it with Android 2.5.6" but there is no 2.5.6 !

I guess this was a simple typo but we can not be sure what you really mean!

2.3.6 ? what SBF build ? you can find that in phone info!

2. CM7.1 was developed primarily for defy, not defy+, that's why it now says MB525 on your device.

3. "When I try to flash ROM for DEFY+..." be specific: what defy+ rom ???

4. What build of cm7.1 did you install ? and what Kernel does it use now ?

perhaps you get kernel mismatch error when changing rom..

Go to info on you phone and find out + post complete screencap or something like this:

System Version: 45.0.74.MB526.Retail.en.DE

Model number: MB526

Android version: 2.3.4

Baseband version: EPU93_U_00.60.00

KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.32.9-gbad50c3

hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid52 #1

Build number: 4.5.1-134_DFP-74

That will make it possible for someone on forum to give good advice!

:)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamandude:

MB526

Hi,

Was rooted ,CM7 was running and while upgrading to CM9 I bricked it now trying the Stock Rom flash through RSDLite and now at stock M logo.

Need help. Since its bricked I dont know the phone Stats or profiles.

THanks
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spidykwya:
Hi there! First of all your phone is not bricked. You should first try to get in the recovery menu by pressing one of the volume buttons when the sensor is having a blue color. From there, if you can access the menu please do a full data wipe\factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache and then try to install the newest version of CM9 based on your phone model (defy or defy+) with the corresponding kernel and rom.

However, if you can't access the recovery menu, then restart your phone and hold the power button + volume down till a black screen with white text appears. Afterwards, connect your phone to your PC through USB cable (make sure you have enough battery left and doesn't die in the process) start RSD Lite load the sbf file and install it. Hope my answer helps, if so, hit thanks :P . Good luck !

Ok my cwm is on my external sd card with all my nandroid backups should I can I move this to my phone storage in case one day my ex sd card fails?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
Yes, but when you restore you might have to do advance restore and restore all the partitions that way.

And thus the Catch22 of saving backups to internal or external storage...

If its on internal storage, and your phone dies, you are out of luck...

I personally keep a copy on my external, yes... but then I also make a copy of the backup that I keep on my laptop... That way I know that that I can always move it to a new SD card and have access to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MJHawaii:
Thanks Damius simple but great point

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Depends on the quality of your DVD and the burner... most consumer-written DVD-R's are only reliable for a couple years (3-5) before oxidation starts messing with the data.

Same with CD's... 1 of 5 music CD's (Memorex or Verbatim) that I burn (usually no faster than 8x) last about a year with regular use before they start skipping.

Not that a PHONE backup would be useful even a month later... :)

I would buy special archive-quality DVD's if you are storing family pics on them. I wouldn't trust them on a disc from a 100 disc platter that cost $20. :)

You can always "bake" a rom based on the stock rom. It allows you to remove any unwanted application you feel you don't need!

Hi,

get MCR v6 STOCK / VANILLA edition.

then get any freezing app from the market and freeze all the apps u don't want.

just freeze what you think is useless for you; and then flash a MCR kernel over it.

there are many here in the thread.
