[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
The problem. You forgot to mention that you also flashed a non-perfected SPL at some point before flashing CM 5.0.8. You need to get that fixed. Luckily you can fix it without a goldcard since you've already got S-OFF.

Download these:

hboot.nb0 for myTouch 1.2 only

Amon Ra 1.7.0-G Recovery

Go to this URL and follow the steps to get ADB setup if you don't already have it. Then go here and follow steps 7, 8, and 9. In step 7, you should only need to run:

fastboot flash hboot hboot.nb0 (the 0 at the end of this line is a zero not an oh).

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

After that just reflash CM 5.0.8, although I'm using CM 6.1 and it's just as good, but with the perks of Android 2.2. I would suggest reading through that thread I linked to get more familiarity.

Lastly, I will warn you that this isn't the easiest way to get your phone fixed, but this is the way that I learned about my phone, so it should help you out in that aspect. I'm sure mumilover or someone else may come along with a simpler solution.

If you have any problems, let us know here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] offdutyninja808:
And I thought the Vibrant forums were hostile. I am glad that you have had your phone for so long and I am quite sure you know what you are talking about. Like I stated, this phone is just sitting around the house collecting dust and thought I would mess with it. If I brick it... great. If I make it the fastest MyTouch it can be... great.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what you and all the other developers and contributors do for random users like myself, but give a guy a break. You have to admit that this phone is a little dated and it's like knowing how to run Windows Vista and 7 then going back to do the same things on a Commadore.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Exactly, all he needs is a custom G recovery (which he should have) and then flash the 1.33.0013 stock spl BACK on. Afterwards, he can flash any 32B rom he wants and it should work as long as it's later than CM-4.2.15.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] offdutyninja808:
Thank you for the non-violent approach. I know how it is when you have a new guy just blowing his phone up and he goes screaming for help. Not what I was trying to do. Just tinkering with a new device to get some more know-how under the belt.

Much appreciated, Don!

I will let you know what I can get accomplished with your advice.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
He wasn't fussing at you, he was getting at the other guy for feeding you false information.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] offdutyninja808:
My apologies, Binary. Following forums over time you tend to see so much hostility over pretty much nothing. It's a learning experience. Just as I had to learn my other phone, some things the hard way, I will be able to steer people in the right direction and help others after I get this one down.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
I'm not trying to be hostile but all of the information is available here in the forums. The developers, senior members and moderators like myself have spent HUNDREDS OF HOURS making sure it can be referenced one way or another. They are in stickies and even in MY SIGNATURE. The only other thing we can do for you is do it ourselves! Yet even with a clean and clear explaination this still comes up. We even get some people that post threads saying that they bricked their phones because they thought for sure it was a 32A and they try to hold me responsible. I will be happy to forward some hateful e-mails to you that I get at least 2 or 3 times a week average because people couldn't find the information... yet... if they followed rule #1 of the forums... they wouldn't have the problem.

Look... at least you got the right information and avoided bricking your phone. But I really hate repeating myself over and over again with the same information so I need to be tougher to get my point across otherwise other members will likely use the wrong information and end up breaking their phones... which I will not be held liable for!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Right on Don. I'm not angry at you OffDutyNinja808 however the other guy (CBATESY) should be warned that I could give him an infraction for giving out bad information.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
On another note, Don, I made a new sticky thread just for this issue.

Feel free to add your wisdom to it.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] offdutyninja808:
Okay... so I followed Don's instructions and the phone now says:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-2.22.23. 02

I tried flashing the same CM and it gets past the mytouch splash but doesn't go past the next loading X screen.

From what you guys said everything is looking right. Any thing look out of ordinary or sound crazy from what i'm saying?

Thanks again!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Loading X screen?

What rom are you trying to install?

What kernel?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] offdutyninja808:
And now i'm in like tube socks! I just woke up and tried it again and it booted right up.

Binary, it was the same CM 5.0.8-DS. As far as the kernel goes, I didn't flash any separate. The X boot screen I mentioned is the Nexus One load screen (I believe).

The only thing that I did differently this morning was wipe/factory reset, then davlik.

Okay... so from my understanding now:

I have to have a perfected SPL, not an engineering SPL.

I have to use the custom (AMAN RA) recovery and never use ClockworkMod.

Ensure that any other roms I want are 32b.

Now as far as the radio goes, is it best to stay with the radio it came with?

Again, thanks for the advice!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] offdutyninja808:
Don, two things...

1. I searched through the ROM bible and didn't find any place to download 6.1.

2. When I try to download the Google Apps from the page you sent me the link to yesterday, it asks for a user name and password. I have 5.0.8 up and running, but with no market and things like that.

Thanks!:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] offdutyninja808:
Okay... I am now running FroyoRedux-1.9.5 with the Galaxy theme. Everything is smooth as butter. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
I fixed the links in the post I pointed you to and updated them to what you news for CM 6.1
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
You can use clockwork. I use it without any problems. Some people like AmonRa better though. If you run CM6 there have been issues about people not being able to flash the recovery for some reason. Just keep trying and it will stick eventually. Just make sure that you flash the one for MyTouch/Ion devices.

Radio - keep the one that your using.

Roms - 32B ONLY
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] offdutyninja808:
Thanks for the help. I have been playing with the phone all day. I am running Gios froyo ota 1.6 as we speak. I really like the look and feel of this one.

I have already learned tons more, which was my original intent. Anything beats the old stock 1.6 which is what I came from.

I shouldn't be any bother from now on. Maybe even help some ;)

Thanks again, Binary and Don!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
No bother. Glad to help and feel free to help out any way you can. We love the communty effort! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] offdutyninja808:
Okay... just a follow up with a few things that I have experienced so far with my MyTouch 1.2:

When I originaly flashed a new ROM on my phone I used RA Recovery v1.7G, but wanted to use ClockworkMod Recovery instead, so I flashed the ION/MyTouch 3G. I then tried to reboot into recovery. The phone was stuck in the green MyTouch boot screen and wouldn't boot into recovery. It wouldn't boot using the power + home button combination either. I tried reflasing the RA Recovery with no luck.

Basically what I did to fix the problem was I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery for the HTC Dream, which is the first selection when flashing CWM, and the phone rebooted into recovery. Once I was able to flash recovery for the Dream I went back and was successfully able to flash both the ION/MyTouch and RA Recovery. I don't really know what exactly the problem was, but it fixed it.

Another issue that I ended up having was that I mad a Nandroid backup with CWM and saved it to my computer and renamed the file. I later tried to restore this back up, but kept getting a MD5 Checksum error...

This was a easy fix. I simply renamed the backup file with NO SPACES in it. BOOM. Backup now restored and in like tube sox once more!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Sounds like you had a fun learning experience. Glad that you got everything back in shape and working the way that it should. Now just three more things if you don't mind.

Make a backup and save it somewhere. Do this every once in a while just in case.

Remember - If it's not broke, don't fix it!

Help others based on the information that you learn and have learned.
[Omnia II General] erieboatergal:
I was looking for a solution to connect my nook color to my Samsung Omnia 2 via Wifi. I downloaded WMWifiRouter to set up an ad hoc wifi network. I also downloaded Intshrui, to ensure i had internet sharing on my phone. Everything seems to work correctly, and I am connected to the internet on my phone, but I can't see the connection on my nook. On the front page of WMWifiRouter, it says it is ready, and under Cellular, it says broadband access connected. I can also see the network name and the WEP password that I put in. When I go to the overview page, I am getting these readings:

Inbound Outbound

Cellular 0B/s 0B/s

5.3MB 532.8 KB

Wi-Fi 0B/s 0B/s

0B 0B

I know it has something to do with the above numbers being 0, but I don't know what it is. I've read that this is the easiest program to use, and am hoping that it is an easy solution. I have searched this forum, the FAQ and Documentation on the WMWifiRouter page, and Modaco and have not found a solution to my specific problem. I am using the trial version, to make sure it will work for me before I buy it.

Thank you for your response.

[Nexus S General] wootek76:
So far iam very unhappy with all the issue this phone have. Got mine replaced and battery seemed to last longer than the first one but both of them have sudden loss of data. Mass static noise while talking on the phone and the static noise wont go away even if i hang up the phone so i have to reboot the phone also on ths one unreponsive screen this happened on the both of the devices and i am so sick of all these issues. Im debating whether i should just get the refund o should i just hold onto the phon??? My question is that would all of these issue be fixed through he update??
[Nook Color General] Finland_2_Cupertino:
Long story short I had to exchange my first one due to it creeking on the left side and a red ghosted arc in the middle. Now my second has bad power button. Anyone else have any issues? Kinda getting annoyed.
[Nook Color General] naezwood:
Mine creaks on the left hand side and so does my friend's. Seeing as it doesn't have any effect on functionality, we're perfectly fine with them. My friend's first one had a volume problem where it muted it self permanently every time the screen locked. They seem to have a lot of design issues.
[Nook Color General] Finland_2_Cupertino:
Kinda dissapointed but for 250...... should I be picky? They told me if I had anymore problems I would have to send it in. That's garbage imo.
[Nook Color General] Mikroft:
Mine is perfect. No creaks. I must be lucky.
[Nook Color General] Finland_2_Cupertino:
Why the canadians gotta get all the good ones?!?!?!?!?!? :)
[Nook Color General] ahfunaki:
I've had 2 and both were creeky...

Other than that no issues...
[Nook Color General] Finland_2_Cupertino:
Did I mention that my back cover seems to be lose or has a lil Play? I guess that is better than the creeking.
[Nook Color General] thirteen113:
The creaking was driving me nuts, took the thing apart and wedged a small piece of paper between two plastic bits at the corners of the lanyard hole.

[Nook Color General] Lioncage:
That danged 'feature' seems to be the cause. mine creaks on the bottom near it.
[Nook Color General] wendellc:
I have 2 nook colors and mine has a slight creak when I squeeze the top and put my ear against it but not really noticeable. Other than that all is great, I guess I am just lucky.:D
[Nook Color General] camwinnn:
Forget that, Until my "30 day money back thing" is over id take it in everyday, maybe that B&N/BB/Walmart just cant stock shelves right.

Once thats over then youve got your 1-year warranty for sending it in.

And im not picky, mine creaks but Hardware problems like a button not working is unacceptable, for 250 I expect at least one year of use.
[Nook Color General] Finland_2_Cupertino:
Maybe your right. Ill take it back to another bn.
[Nook Color General] TKEMerph:
I've got myself a pretty looking dead pixel. :(
[Nook Color General] spikey911:
I have one as well, its towards the bottom corner near the N button..

Its not very noticeable, but since I know its there it drives me nuts...

Not going to risk another exchange since it might be worse than this one.
[Nook Color General] t140568:
No dead pixels here. I have creaking though. I wonder if it's happened due to the case I have and how it locks in?
[Nook Color General] Finland_2_Cupertino:
I had creeking straight out of the box. Its not your case.
[Nook Color General] greggmc:
On my second. First had a faulty volume button. This one has the creaking, but I can live with that.
[Nook Color General] ph00ny:
i haven't noticed any creaking with mine but i think my charger is bad causing repeated random keystrokes when i use it while it's plugged in
[Nook Color General] suzook:
Same here. I had this same issue with my galaxy epic4g...using a defective usb cable...i can live with the wonky kb while bein charged...just curious as to what it might be.
[Nook Color General] Equinoux:
Maybe I'm lucky, but I don't have any of the problems listed here. I received my NC as a Christmas gift. It was even wrapped by B&N too! The only "problem" I've noticed is some very slight light bleed at the top center.

Market Apps are downloading really really really slow (5kbps) over Data Connection and WiFi. This is not the same for all builds though it seems that only Sense UI builds are the culprits, stock Android Builds are not effected. Lets figure this out as I see many are effected. If your on a Sense Build (I'm on MDJ Froyo HD 4.6, with Chucky's Droid Rom, and Hastarin's 8.6 Kernel) please share with us whether or not you are effected by this. And what your are running.

How long have you had your phone?

There is NoLED which you can get from the market or you can run an I9000 Rom that has BLN enabled. From their you can use a couple apps, Blinky or BLN Control. We have options that work really well.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOIXGSR:
I like the idea of having the bottom buttons light up, any link or name of app?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccdoggy:
Most ROMs have it included. its called BLN (Back Light Notification). I dont think there is an app for it as i think it needs to be built into the kernel (Though dont quote me on that).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
They have to be I9000 roms. Blinky app can work sometimes without BLN enabled on the Rom but it is highly recommended to run a Rom that has BLN.

OP: Just look in the dev section for roms that say BLN enabled. That will be your best bet for the menu lights. Otherwise, NoLED works great and it lights up your screen in small icons.

But I've been using google navigation on my HTC desire for a while now, instead of my regular GPS. I do love the software better, but I hate that voice telling me the street names.

I had that on my GPS and had the option to turn it off and only have it telling me turn right in xx Meters, or turn next left. It wouldn't tell me the streets name anymore.

Is there an option for this on google navigation?

Just curious how many people here are new to Android?

I've noticed that there are Nook users who seem to be new to the forum. So, I am assuming that those new to NOOK are getting their first taste at Android or just never tinkered with your Android phones.

Myself, I've been with Android since the G1 and was using an Iphone 3gs prior to making the switch. Currently I have a HD2/Android, my wife has a Vibrant/ Eugene's Gingerbread and my daughter has a G1/Sparks Mod.

What about U?:D
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
I switched from iPhone to an Evo last summer, and sold my iPad around the same time (Apple's handling of the iPhone 4 antenna-gate turned me off to their company). I haven't looked back - Android is much more for me than Apple was, and the NookColor is a phenomenal tablet for me.
[Nook Color General] DatterBoy:
I never had apple products but got to play with them as I knew many people who did have it. They make a great product.

I am coming from an HTC Incredible, which is awesome. Personality wise. Android is right for me just as a PC is right for me over a MAC. for the price, this Nook Color experience can't be beat and the rooting and customizing is an awesome hobby!

After initial awe wore off, I didn't like my iPhone much anymore for its limitations, but after jailbreaking it and customizing it to my liking, I like it again.
