Dual-Boot from SD to Single Boot from SD

So I originally set up a dual-boot SD (PhireMod v6.1 & Honeycomb v3) on my wife's Nook, & while it has been very stable she really only uses the PhireMod ROM. A few days ago I showed her the latest MIUI on my EVO, & she decided she wants MIUI on the Nook, go figure :rolleyes: I'd like to simplify the setup & go back to a single boot setup with MIUI, *BUT* I don't want to lose any of her downloaded books, etc.

So, my question is this: How can I switch to a single boot SD setup without losing everything?

And, I'd also like to update the recovery from CWM 3.0.0.1 to the latest because that particular version of CWM is buggy at best. What's the easiest way to do this?

I am well versed in everything EVO, but the Nook is somewhat foreign to me. I'm trying to stick with the bootable SD because the Nook is easily returned to stock by swapping out the SD card. Any help, or insight greatly appreciated! :D

active encore cyanogenmod 7 source repo?

I've gone through the cyanogenmod wiki for the Color nook to start working with the source, and the fact is that the first step, of getting the repo script, fails. I believe this to be part of the corruption of kernel.org, but I haven't seen any updates despite a couple of days of half-hearted searching.

Any of the active developers want to take a swag at updating the how-to develop encore wiki for current repo's which are available?

Thanks

Hey guys,

I'm currently running Night #129 without any problems, it's very stable, but it's obviously a few months out of date now, and I was wondering if there have been any MAJOR changes or features added since #129, that might make it worth doing a clean install with the latest nightly.

Thanks!

USB host mode and bluetooth adapters

Hi!

I came from this thread over here at Androidcentral.com

http://forums.androidcentral.com/barnes-noble-nook-color/124813-usb-host-mode-some-questions.html

..and I had a question about the possibility of USB host mode expanding to enabling bluetooth adapters so we can get better bluetooth range out of the Nook Color. :p

Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] BitingChaos:
Uh, yeah. Lots of major changes.

Also, 7.1 is final now.

I had my NC rooted and have android in it but it still runs the stock NC home screen, etc. Just has marketplace and stuff.. I did this probably 6-8 months ago and forgot what it's called because i want the new updated version of it. Can someone help me? Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] Speeddymon:
If it is running the stock nook ui just with the market and root, then it is just the stock nook ui. You will need to un root, upgrade using the b&n upgrade package then re root. Instructions for doing all of the above are already posted elsewhere on the forum, just use the search.

Nook Color Boot Loop

Hey everyone,

I installed the manualnooter-4-6-16.zip 4 months ago or so (from what I remember) and the nook has been fine. Today, my son brings it to me and it just keeps doing the NOOK COLOR logo over and over (I assume this is a boot loop????). What is the best way for me to resolve this? I was able to get to the CWM recovery screen but wasn't sure what to do from there since I couldn't restore anything because I didn't have a backup. :(

Should I flash a new zip or go back to stock? Just not sure.

Thanks!

Marc

Try just reflashing stock to your SD card, mine started to boot loop out of nowhere on CM7 and this fixed it
[Nook Color Android Development] ghoticov:
You reflashed the stock that doesn't have CWM on it?
[Nook Color Android Development] Midnitte:
Actually I used CWM to flash stock, than I reformatted the sd card in stock. Kind of enjoying stock right now, I read more when I dont have apps =p

I very seriously doubt that. The goal in these forums is to either root the stock ROM or replace it with a customized one. I doubt anyone has any interest in attempting this....

Help

I am having trouble trying to restore my nook from Miui. I did the hardrest with they 8 reboots but I am brought to CWM screen, and it reads

E:cannot mount cache/recovery/command

E:cannot mount /cache/recovery/log

E:cannot open /cache/recovery/log

E:cannot mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:cannot open /cache/recovery/last_log

Can anyone please tell me what this means?
[Nook Color Android Development] Taderich:
This means that the kernel you booted off of into recovery (CWM in your case) is looking for specific files in /cache/recovery but can't find them. This typically happens when using a kernel with CWM that isn't compatible with what you are currently running installed on your EMMC. Cyanogenmod/MIUI run recovery differently from more stock bases Android versions like what the Nook runs off of.

To put it simply, the version of CWM probably isn't compatible with MIUI.

If you want to restore your Nook back to factory defaults, it is best to create a bootable sdcard with CWM installed and restore from there.

There are a number of posts in the dev section on how to restore to factory.

Hope this helps.

build.prop for 1.3 or how to rerun 1.4.1 update?

I want to rerun the 1.4.1 update and haven't figured out how...without resetting to stock.

Is there a way to rerun a BN update?

I thought maybe editing the build.prop to fool it in thinking it is at 1.3 would work...and maybe it will. I made all of the updates I could, but didn't know what to do for one, so maybe that's the issue...because it didn't rerun. The update .zip disappeared from the device, but didn't run.

Anyone at 1.3 willing to share their build.prop file?

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

Nook Blank

Someone please help me. I used Auto Nooker to try and root my Nook Color. I have version 2.1.0 on my NC so i used Aout-Nooker 3 but it didnt work. I had to do a factory reset on the nook and finally got it to turn back on. I went through all the setup process and everything seemed fine until i downloaded a new puzzle app. I did the puzzle and then the nook forze up on me. I shut it off and now it wont reboot at all. I tried doing another factory reset but i cant get it to boot at all like i said. I plug it in to the computer and after about 5 minutes it will act like it is coming on but then will stay on the n screen and wont go anywhere else. I left it on that screen for over 3 hours and nothing changed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

New Nook for Xmas... with 1.2

Thanks for reading this! I got a new Nook Color for christmas. It has OS 1.2 on it. Im pretty proficient at rooting/flashing devices, been doing it for 2 years now with no issues. I need suggestions as to the best path to get it functioning as an android tablet. Any guidance is much appreciated. A lot of the threads Ive read so far are a little beyond me.
[Nook Color Android Development] KineticEntropy:
I'm looking for a phone or tablet with a replaceable TI WL127x/8x wifi driver. I see that the NC apparently has it as a module, which is good. Are there any unobvious impediments to replacing it?

Hi there, I just recently bought a NC and found it was rooted which I was going to do anyways at some point. I see it is running CWM 3.0.0.5 but I cannot get it to take a rom the traditional way that I know how (LG G2X). I am just beginning to read the NC ways on here but am wondering what the best way to dela with these roms that are available....ie...SD boot or just dropping roms using CWM (which I have had no luck with so far)..........I am wondering if I can just start over with supernooter, and autonook or will that potentially brick this thing? Thanks!!

How to obtain and compile the NC Wifi driver

Hi

I was trying to follow the excellent instructions here on compiling the CM7 kernel for the NC:

"Building your own Nook Color Android kernel"

While I am able to compile and install the kernel as described, I am not able to get Wifi working. turning on Wifi causes the system to freeze. Where can I get the tiwlan_drv.ko sources so that the Wifi driver can be compiled alongside the kernel?

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] hari2223:
I found another xda thread titled "need help for nookcolor wlan sourcecode" with a pointer to the ti-wlan driver source code. I was able to download and compile this driver (from verygreen's git), but WiFi is still not working . There are two issues. One is that for compiling the driver, the HOST_PLATFORM variable needs to be set, and I am not sure what the correct value is. The second is with the firmware, since driver source code did not come with the firmware.bin file, of which there are many versions.

Can someone point me to the correct HOST_PLATFORM setting and the appropriate firmware.bin for a given tiwlan_drv.ko for the Nook Color?

Thanks.

So, my wife loves her nook but thinks it'd be nice to upgrade it a little. The youtube sometimes has issues where the sound gets ahead of the video.

I looked at the nook and it's on 1.0.1 yeah it's been a while since I've rooted it.

Where should I go from there? Do I upgrade to the latest over the air or flash it with a downloaded upgrade or just move forward and install cm7.2 or is that better to run off the SD card?

SHe does like how the nook OS looks right now though and may get confused with android because of menus changing places.

Basically I just need to get to the overclock.

I do have some experience. Rooted this thing originally and also more recently my touchpad with cm7 then the more recent cm9 alpha2. Plus numerous iPhones but that's different than this.

SO I know a little.

some guidance would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
With your situation... I would flash a stock (I have created 1.4.1 CWM flashable in various "flavors") and let it update OTA to 1.4.2... or find my thread about modifying any rom and modify stock 1.4.2 and flash it.

Then use ManualNooter for rooting / market usability.
[Nook Color Android Development] resteasy:
so flash to 1.4.1 then let it update?

or you mean flash to 1.4.1 custom and let it update OTA (i'm assuming it'd stay rooted if that's the instruction).

Is there a reason I couldn't go straight to 1.4.2? thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
I don't know much about stock past 1.2.

But I do know Dizzy knows what he's talking about.;)

You can pretty much take his advice to the bank. Why wait any longer? Follow his directions and I bet you'll be glad.

Both of these are from DizzyDen, so you have the opportunity to thank him multiple times (he's saving up the thanks so he can redeem them for the XDA pool table ;) )
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
I recommend using one of the CWM flashable 1.4.1 stock flavors because I don't know if you have CWM installed on stock... and if you're still on 1.0.1 then you did "something" to block OTA updates... not knowing what you did... I suggest a method I know will work for you.

The reason I suggest 1.4.1 is because I put those files together... and never released any of the 1.4.2 variants because I provided the tools and information for everyone to be able to modify their own 1.4.2 download from B&N... teaches and reduces bandwidth from other sites.

Compile Gingerbread

I have my development setup reliably compiling the CM9 ICS build, but I want to compile the CM7 build. How do I get it to compile to the CM7 encore target rather than the CM9 encore target?
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Might not be the answer you want.. but you have to create a seperate repo for cm7 and pull all sources for the gingerbread tree.... So instead of

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics

you would

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread

Then repo sync.

I believe :rolleyes:
[Nook Color Android Development] shumash:
Tried that, but it still appeared to compile to a 4.04 target. Do I need to change something in the envsetup.sh?
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
ummm... how did it comple 4.0.4 from cm7 source?

You need to create a repo completely separate from the cm9 one. So if ur running a VM, ur probably gonna have to setup a separate vm for the CM7 tree, unless you gave ur initial VM enough disk space to pull down two separate repos.

Hi. I was looking for some advice and answers to a few basic questions that might help me help a friend of mine. He was given a nook, already rooted, running android of some sort, and used it for a while. According to him one day it just quit coming on. Not knowing much about tech things he asked me to see what if I could do. I've never had or used a nook before but am comfortable with adb, ruu's, etc. So what I know is that it's a model BNRV200, if that means anything, there is no sd card in it, doesn't appear to connect to my pc (might need driver?) but if you plug in the nook charger the light will come on and eventually turn green like it is charging.

So, I guess what I need to know is how to bring it back to life, if that is possible. Any help is appreciated, reply or pm me and I will respond asap. Thanks

EDIT: I do apologize if this is the wrong place for this post BTW. Is android side loaded to this devise from the sd card or what?
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
First thing... try something simple.... hold power button for a FULL 15 seconds... don't short change it... then try turning it back on... it just might bring it to life.

Question about the github.

I have found some merge conflicts I have resolved for the nook linux kernel branches on ICS. I was wondering after you have solved these conflicts do you just push your own master branch onto your own repository on the github? Will the other developers see that branch and merge with the branches "Fattire" has down?

Or do you apply a patch first then push it? Right now I am kinda confused on this part. I am using KDIFF3 with git extensions. I have SSH access for both pulling and pushing files on my own github page.

Also what do you do with the diff after you are done working on one of the kernels? Do you just copy the whole code into notepad and then resubmit it back into the same nook color android branch line? Or is there an easier way? Here is my cyanogenMod page with what I am doing to clarify it some. http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...h-me-trying-to-learn-how-to-code/#entry327629

Thank you.
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
you want to pull from upstream... apply your patches... then push to your repo... anyone that is forked from your's will see it... you can also innitiate a pull request that is sent upstream for fattire to either pull from you or not.
[Nook Color Android Development] meteorrock:
Thanks Dizzy. That does help. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
So due to some unexpected changes in CM7.2 final I am downloading the source for Gingerbread right now.

Do I have to flash 7.2 in order to pull the proprietary files, or can I pull them from CM9 again?

I would think that CM9's would be fine. But since I don't intend to flash the resulting zip, just make some patches from it, I thought I would ask.

Thanks.

Update: Looks like pulling the proprietary files from CM9 worked. Or at least it looks that way now...

Took a dump on the github ICS nook color branch.

Guys, I did some work on the github. I don't think its right, it looks like a mess. Its not as tidy as the other developers. Can someone give me some tips? Or is it ok?

I am just going through solving merge conflicts and have a ton of loose files on my github page here. I will wait a day and see if its ok with you guys before continuing.

OR can the other developers just bundle it up and use it? Here is my link on the github. https://github.com/meteorrock/android_device_bn_encore

Git will rename the files to the right extensions? Or do I have to rename them myself?

Thanks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Update June 21st, 2012. Ok guys I will keep on going as I am going. Did some research and MOST of the time the github will fetch you your file names as it goes by content only. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2641146/handling-file-renames-in-git Sauce here.

Going to go ahead and start naming my files though to pick up good habits. Might make it easier. I noticed other developers do this.

I will debug this ICS branch really good so it can go beta for you guys. :)

Update June 23, 2012. I have debugged 180 commits. Been really careful with my resolves. If anything goes wrong with recent pulls on ICS you are going to have to let me know. Hopefully this will help bring ICS back on track for you guys. I am not adding any new features or anything ported, I am just debugging this build through my diff. Just like how the unix wizards use to do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry about my outburst. One of my friends told me its because most here except two or three people know how to use git properly. I forgot that others do not like to code much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I will continue to keep debugging the main line. Let me know if anything goes wrong. I am not too sure if these small patches get submitted automatically to the main line for the nook color linux branch or if I got to push my whole side-branch again for submission. I will research this a bit more to make sure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Update June 25th 2012. I have sent a pull request to fattire on the ICS remote branch I have been debugging. I have close to half of the mainline ICS build debugged. Wish me luck guys :)

Update: June 27th 2012. I was told it was not good enough for submission. Too many commits. He wants it down to just a couple.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Update : June 30th, 2012. I just figured out how buildbots work. I will let them debug that build for me, which is what is probably already going on with eyeballers builds. Duh. I least I learned something new yesterday.

Hey guys. How do I add more encore branches to my local branches on my github page? Do I just send a pull request to merge it to <fat tire>? Right now the "Head" of my branches on the encore linux branches only goes up to ICS 3.0. Thanks.

Do I use this git command here to overwrite to include the latest Jelly bean branches into the git bash then re-pull the whole encore branches over again from <fat tire> ? git reset --hard HEAD git pull

Or is this the right way ? git fetch --all git reset --hard origin/master

Thanks for helping.

Update Aug. 25 2012. Some kind anon from here pointed the way to an online school website to learn how to use git, I am looking at this website right here to help get me up and going.
