I am sorry for being a noobie but how do I go about installing this ? I already have my NC rooted and I have a 8 gig sdCard. I also have winimage on my pc. What should I do with the *.img file and how should I partition my sdcard? Any tips or a "small" walk-through or guide would be very helpful to me and maybe a few others.

Thank you for your hard work with this ... it sounds great !!
[Nook Color Android Development] isolated_epidemic:
If you check the original Nookie Froyo thread there is a step by step there, but the basics are:

Boot up WinImage

Choose "Restore Virtual Disk Image"

Choose your SD Card

Navigate to your .img file

Hit Apply, wait about 10-20 minutes (depending on card speed)

Turn off Nook Color

Insert SD Card

Boot up Nook Color

Wait about 3-4 minutes after boot for everything to "warm up"

Enjoy
[Nook Color Android Development] DrewLGT:
download the zip of froyo, extract it to your desktop. open winimage, click the button with the three little dots. select the file you just extracted, make sure it's going to write to the drive with your SD card, click the write button.

thats it, throw the SD card in the nook and boot it up.
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
Thank you for that !!

Please let me know what you find out!

BTW, anybody have any ideas about my previous post on WIFI issues?
[Nook Color Android Development] ranova:
anyone getting sleep deaths? I notice it a lot more when I manually put the nook to sleep; one of the following happens:

1) I press the n or the power button and nothing happens, forcing me to hard power it off and back on

2) The screen comes on SLOWLY, but nothing is responsive (cannot unlock); forcing to hard power it off and back on again

Usually if it goes to sleep by itself, I have no problem
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
What size card are you on? Try forgetting the connection then reconnect.
[Nook Color Android Development] 71CH:
I'm using an 8 gb class 4 card. Reconnecting didn't seem to help :(
[Nook Color Android Development] nadafinger:
Alright, I have isolated this down to the last script, the format script. After a LONG 3G download (thanks Verizon!) I was able to reflash using the "1GB or more" image. It worked great, I rebooted SEVERAL times just to be sure. Then I ran the first script that creates the 4th partition, and it rebooted flawlessly. After this I rebooted a few more times just to be sure. Then I ran the final "format" script, and on reboot it hangs on "ANDROID_" on the left side and never completes booting. This is the same as before. I am now going to go back, reimage, and check the contents of the script to see what might be happening.

Also, Brian Thank You! This is awesome and I really appreciate all the hard work. I'll update if I find anything else after reimaging. Just a question when you have time....What are the fundamental differences in the two files in the OP? If I'm correct it looks like the 2nd is an update to the first.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
The second script formats /dev/block/mmcblk1p4 and assigns a label of sdcard. Apparently, when the nook is boot and the 4th partition is not formated it will do it automatically so the second script is not needed. I will change the instructions on the first post.

The last image also removes an icon from the notification bar and removes the phrase "no service" from the lock screen. See this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924916 Lastly, I turn on screen rotation in zeam.

Thank you for the input.
[Nook Color Android Development] myecomemail:
I think there must be something different about the most recent updated image linked in the OP (nookie-froyo-3.zip, labeled "Updated Image") and the first one (nookie-froyo.zip, labeled "Image that will fit...") that is causing a stability problem. I am able to run the older version (nookie-froyo.zip) just fine (on a 2GB card, smooth, no FC etc) but the newer version (nookie-froyo-3.zip) won't let me do much of anything without starting to force close everything a few minutes after boot. I get this same result whether or not I run the makepart script. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks to brianf21 for the great work on this.
[Nook Color Android Development] kurtA:
Hey Brian, do you recommend "1GB or more" image or nookie-froyo-3.img for 16GB cards. They both might be fine I just thought the latter was only for 8GB cards or at least it only gives you 8GB of space. Thanks for all your work!
[Nook Color Android Development] jzh797s:
After the boot, wait a few min, but before the unlock it is showing an sd symbol w/ a exclamation point in the upper left. I assume this means there is a problem w/ the sd. Is this normal or could this the the culprit to my problems?

I can get into terminal although it never asks me for SU rights and after I type the command it says, can not open.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Are you typing the command su?

If this works, only type the first command. Do not run formatpart.sh.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Reburn the sdcard and only run the first script. Nadafinger has tested this.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Use nookie-froyo-3.img, but only run the first script.
[Nook Color Android Development] nadafinger:
okay....commute and dinner out of the way. This is where I am. brian is right, I have tested quite a bit. I am currently able to boot up no problem (using the nookie-froyo3.img) file. I am not able to get anything in the market to download, and I am getting force closes when opening gmail. Still tinkering, but what I have managed to conquer is getting this image up and running, as well as getting rid of the damaged sd card message (by running the /data/data/makepart/makepart.sh script).

Any recommendations on the market not downloading?

Update: okay so I have no wireless connection, and that appears to be the root of my FC's and download failures. The wifi will never get an IP from my router (also tried from my wifi hotspot). If I disable wireless and try to re-enable it I get the message "error" and nothing happens. I'm decent at the command line if anybody has any suggestions. ifconfig only shows the loopback interface, as though it doesn't even see another. not sure what other networking tools there are.
[Nook Color Android Development] jzh797s:
When I run SU, it never asks me to "Allow", but goes to #.

I then ran "/data/data/makepart/makepart.sh"

it errors on fdisk. Enter to reset.

hangs on ANDROID_ starter screen
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
I also have a new 16GIG Class10 card. What do you mean exactly when you say only run the first script ? Which one are you talking about ?

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] kurtA:
Pretty sure he means the script that is on OP. He had 2 at first one makepart.sh and the other formatpart.sh. Now there is only makepart.sh.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Just to double check things, I download the image nookie-froyo-3.img and burned it to a 16 GB card. Both scripts are needed.

Everything works fine. Could someone who has a problem and who can connect to their nook using adb run these commands and post the output

adb shell fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1

adb shell df -h
[Nook Color Android Development] kurtA:
Hi Brian, I just reburned nookie-froyo-3.img. I have let it boot up and ran makepart.sh. It rebooted and is already hanging at "android_". Do you want me to try those before running makepart.sh and formatpart.sh or after? I mean those commands in your post above. I am formatting and about to burn that image again.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Before and after would be great.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
After I put in my google account information, the nook was really slow. I figured out it was hanging during the initial sync process. I thought maybe I put in the wrong password, but I could not figure out how to change the password. So I found this google call UnlockCaptcha. It is suppose to unlock your device so you can change the password. I went to the site from a PC, type in my password and the captcha, my nook started to run like normal. Maybe this will help.

The data and sdcard partitions are not being mounted. See if you can mount them manually.

adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /data

adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p4 /mnt/sdcard
[Nook Color Android Development] kurtA:
Weird, as soon as I executed:

adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /data

It continued to boot up. I did run the second command and it looks like it executed ok too.

What about these two that showed up before and are not showing up now:

[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
What did you do just prior to the reboot? Was the sdcard able to mount?
[Nook Color Android Development] kurtA:
Prior to reboot I basically just tried to enable Wi-Fi. It failed so I decided to reboot. When I did that it hanged at "android_". Once I did that mount command that you suggested (which btw did execute correctly and did mount) I didn't do anything else it just proceeded to boot up.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Try this

adb shell rm /data/dalvik-cache/*

abd reboot

and let it sit for awhile before doing anything. I am going to head out. I will check back in the morning.

Slingplayer not working in Nookie Froyo

I did the market fix by changing the ro.build.fingerprint in build.prop and downloaded Slingplayer but it does not work. It shuts down immediately. This is my most used Android app. This works in Nooter 2.1, 1.0.1. What is the difference?
[Nook Color Android Development] bassrebel:
After a couple of weeks using the image on the first post I have had no problems with it. It's running stable, the speed is great (even though I have an 8gb sd card class 2), the flash is surprisingly stable, the only problem is that when I have a flash webpage, and I have to input text, for some reason the keyboard won't show up.

Just one random reboot, the day that I installed it and booted to 2.1; after that no more reboots

It's been great!

THANKS!
[Nook Color Android Development] Irish Cream:
Three Questions:

1.) do I need to format the card I currently have in my Nook to flash this image, or can I flash it with whats on the card without losing it?

2.) Once booted up once, do I have to keep this image on my SD card (not a problem, 16gb card) or can I remove the image once I've booted Nookie Froyo?

3.) I am currently running the 1ghz kernel from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451 ... would anyone suggest flashing a different one before booting this?
[Nook Color Android Development] nadafinger:
Irish, this will erase whatever card you flash it to, it's a full bootable image. It doesn't install it to your Nook's storage, so the card must remain in the Nook. I wouldn't know how to go about putting a custom kernel into this as I normally use clockwork for that, and that is not part of this image.
[Nook Color Android Development] nadafinger:
I'm pretty sure all of my problems stem from my 16GB Class 10 card. There is something about this image and it that don't get along. My /data partition eventually becomes corrupt, and I haven't found a particular action that makes it happen. For those who are successfully running this on your 16GB cards, what class are they?

I'm wondering if the class 10 portion is the issue here. For now I'm trying the image out on a class 4 2GB just to prove my theory. Also trying vanilla nookie froyo on my 16GB card to see if it has similar issues or not. May be just a general incompatibility. Whatever it is, it's a corruption of /data that eventually happens, and at least in my case linux was unable to correct some of the errors on the partition. All the remaining partitions were completely clean.
[Nook Color Android Development] Zuhkov:
Are you using the Wintec 16GB Class 10? If so, I had the same problems with that card. I'm pretty it's just that card (as I believe someone else in this thread said, you get what you pay for). When I swapped that card with the 8GB Class 6 Transcend from my phone, all my problems just disappeared.
[Nook Color Android Development] Irish Cream:
Okay cool... so if I have a 16gb card will I then have 8gb to still play with? If so that's fine...

Also, does this mean if I take the card out I will boot up stock 2.1? (Used Autonooter for 1.01)
[Nook Color Android Development] nadafinger:
ya, once you run the makepart.sh script in the OP you will get a /mnt/sdcard dir that gives you whatever extra space is left. In my case it was like 14.3GB or so.

Card in: boots this OS, which is a nicely customized version of Nookie Froyo, Card out boots whatever you have on the internal memory (In my case rooted 1.01 like yourself). There are ways out there to eventually move Nookie Froyo to the internal memory, but honestly it runs pretty good off the card, and it's nice to be able to just rip the card out. I have been hesitant about blowing away the internal memory as I have had a couple of lingering issues that may lead me to have to exchange mine (bad usb port I'm afraid).
[Nook Color Android Development] Irish Cream:
Awesome! Guess I know what project I'm starting when I get home!
[Nook Color Android Development] 71CH:
Any more info on this?
[Nook Color Android Development] nadafinger:
I'm using the adata card, but honestly how many manufacturers could there be? I know in the SSD world that Adata is rebranded and resold by many manufacturers, could be same here. Coworker has a class 4 16GB card he is loaning me indefinitely to see if that is the issue. 2GB class 4 was stable up until my battery died, I will continue to test through the weekend with it.

Once again thanks brianf21!
[Nook Color Android Development] kurtA:
I think I have given up on this. I can't get it to work no matter what I try. Furthest I came one time was to have everything up and running and even load market but not being able to download anything. After a reboot or 2 it would get eventually stuck at "android_" and sometimes manual mount of missing partitions would get it booting again, but in the end things hang.

I don't mind testing things out if anyone wants or has ideas on what to try. In the mean time I'll wait it out and perhaps things get resolved down the line. I might RMA the card. Hope someone gets this working.
[Nook Color Android Development] Mikey:
Stupid question, should we give it the 2 minute waiting time every time it boots up or reboots?
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
Sorry for this post...I fixed my own problem but couldn't figure out how to delete this post.
[Nook Color Android Development] Mikey:
Im also having the snail running WiFi "issue" and snail notification window when it's pulled down.
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
Just for what it's worth ... reading a few other posts and forums it seems a lot of Class 10 cards wont run froyo ...

Some people are having issues with 16GB Class 10 cards. So far I know the following cards are freezing, ultimately resulting in a "Android__" at boot time FREEZE/Lockup.

Patriot 16 GIG Class 10

Adata 16 GIG Class 10

WinTech 16 GIG Class 10

Maybe they are all made by same manufacture ? not sure.... but it is a shame.
[Nook Color Android Development] nadafinger:
Ya, this seems to be with all Nookie Froyo builds I've tried. I'm pretty sure it's the speed and not the capacity. Oddly I can use the card as a traditional SD card with my incredible just fine, in fact it's amazingly good for watching video, etc.

I have everything up and running on a class 6 2gb card, however I cannot get the market to download anything, and I keep getting errors about gtalk not being able to sign in (even though the account info is correct).
[Nook Color Android Development] dirtygreek:
Oh for crying out loud... I've been trying to get my new WinTech 16 gb Class 10 to boot for 24 hours now. I bought it for precisely this reason. How lame! Bah!
[Nook Color Android Development] TheEditor:
Ok, I finally got a chance to run nookiefroyo-3. Runs very fast and clean but I can't download from the market due to Google Talk Authentication Failed error. How do I fix this issue? Tried three different burns across two different cards with no luck.

Also, found that I did have to run both scripts to get the SD partition to function. In several of the posts it mentions only running the first script and then rebooting cause the partition to get formatted correctly. That did not happen for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
I have a strange issue. I have installed this version of Froyo. I ran the script as stated in the directions. I have a 8 gig class 6 and everything is working fine. BUT.... I can not download anything from the market. I can connect fine, and browse the net fine. My WiFi is 100% but in the info bar it says No Service, and all market apps fail to download.

Mmm same issue as post above me.....

Help !
[Nook Color Android Development] fixitsteve:
I just realized (wasn't really looking) that I get a partition error when I run the makepart.sh on my 16GB class 10 card. Something about the number of sectors being wrong? Never got this on my 8GB. Maybe this is part of the issue with the 16GB class 10 cards? I will try to do this all over again and post the error. After running makepart.sh is when I get the freezing, but it boots fine until then...
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Clear the cache for the market and the data for google framework to get the market working. I was getting the gtalk not connecting error. I went to this google site and signed in. It is suppose to allow you change your password for the primary google on your phone. I rebooted my nook and it connected no problems.

See above.

Sounds like you have a 4th partition already. I am going to release another version that will delete the 4th if it exists. For now, manually delete it then use the scripts again.

Did you run the scripts? Try to clear the cache. See above.

Also, found that I did have to run both scripts to get the SD partition to function. In several of the posts it mentions only running the first script and then rebooting cause the partition to get formatted correctly. That did not happen for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
A lot of people have thanked me for this image, but all I did was just to customize the work of cicada by adding some apps. If it were not for his work, we would not have froyo yet. Just want to give credit where credit is due. Hopefully he likes what I did so far. Thanks cicada.
[Nook Color Android Development] nadafinger:
Did you go to that link from the NC, or from another computer? I remember the link from before I think was http://google.com/accounts/displayunlockcaptcha (may not be perfect). I'm confused about this one step and I think it's all I lack working perfectly. Noted on credit where credit is due, but your effort has saved me potentially hours of tinkering (well that whole 16GB class 10 card debacle aside).

Have you tried the EMMC method and installed this to the built in memory? Curious to know if anybody has tried this image that way.

NOTE: For anybody that is wondering, the issue with the 16GB card I had was persistent across every version of nookie froyo that I tried, 5.8, 5.9, and the two in this thread. What happens is related to /data eventually becoming corrupted. On the next boot, it hangs trying to recover the journal for this filesystem. Some have had mixed success forcing the mount, and one mentioned fsck'ing the partition in a linux machine. I tried to fsck the partition in my linux machine and it found unrecoverable superblock issues. Essentially it was permanently borked. Since it keeps happening I can only imagine it's related to the capacity/speed of the card and froyo.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I went to the website from the pc. I have not played with the emmc yet. That is next. I just got an ssh server working on the nook so I don't have to hook the usb cable. I am going to post it now.
[Nook Color Android Development] thecalip:
I got a weird issue. 5 to 10 minutes after boot, system shutdown and wouldn't boot until I removed the SD card. I tested a few times, same resolve. I don't know what could be the problem.

My sd card is Sandisk 16gb class 2
