Can someone post mirrors of the zip files, Sling File is pissing me off, and won't let me DL the file.

Thanks!

how did u get gapps? clockwork recovery disapeared after i flashed.
[Nook Color Android Development] crashdau:
After burning the image to my uSD, I checked the image and the Froyo and gapps zip's were in the image.

My problem is I'm having a hard returning to stock....
[Nook Color Android Development] crashdau:
Like I said in an earlier post, after successfully getting into install froyo on the internal, I rebooted after setting somethings up and now I can't get the device to power on unless I have the SD card in.

I'm now trying to go back to stock following the steps in OP, but, everytime I try to reboot and pop out the SD the screen never comes back on.

Can anyone help me out?
[Nook Color Android Development] chrismoo:
What does this version report as when connecting to the Android Market?

I cannot seem to find any of the apps I want to reload e.g. Dolphin Browser, ADW or Launcher Pro, etc.

I guess I can get the APKs via Dropbox from my phone backup but wonder if the ID of the device can be changed to better recognize apps in the Market.
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Post updated with 1100mhz kernel install/remove flashable zips and repair boot flashable zip.

For those who cannot boot any more, use the last downloadable file in first thread, copy to root of IOMonster pack and flash. Then flash restore to stock on install Froyo on emmc again.

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Go to settings, applications. Clear market cache. Then., clear Google framework data, then reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] camwinnn:
What was wrong with the original one you included in the Froyo image? I installed Froyo from clockwork no problem, set up perfect realized music doesnt work -_- (didnt have any on my Froyo sd) and 1.1.0 updated. used the included zip to get back to stock 1.0.1 No problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] mattphoner:
Happened to me too. Trying this instructions that were just posted.
[Nook Color Android Development] crashdau:
Thank you very much for this additional tool for the wanna-be's like me. I am now back on FROYO emmc again.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
For the people that are having trouble booting have you tried holding the power button for several seconds to see if it will boot? When I first wrote the image to my emmc I had to hold the power button for about 7-8 seconds to get it to boot
[Nook Color Android Development] spyz88:
Mods please delete post. Sorry
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
don't you just flash it in the bootable cwm recovery? Boot into recovery with the bootable recovery image then flash the fix. You shouldn't need to rename it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
[Nook Color Android Development] mattphoner:
Yep, even tried counting to 30, MULTIPLE times.
[Nook Color Android Development] succulent:
Please stay, we need more geniuses here. I got Froyo to work on my NC because of you.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
What happened? Please don't. You do amazing work

If your dead set on leaving can you post the files back up and just no longer support it? I only ask this because some people will be stuck without the files that were posted here. Like the flashable file to go back to 1.01
[Nook Color Android Development] fprice02:
if you could add one last step: REMOVE SD CARD ON REBOOT.

Yup after about 10 minutes of cussing and swearing got it to work! Good job, thanks!

[Nook Color Android Development] seeddemon:
Sam, Please don't go. We need you.

For people that can't boot, just follow the instructions here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=919353

This can all be done by booting into NookieFroyo from an SC Card. You will also need ADB access.

You most likely only need to DD the boot.img

you should be able to boot now. OR at least get to the ANDROID screen.

I would also recommend erasing all your data.

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1 /

adb shell

mkdir tmpfolder

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 tmpfolder

cd tmpfolder

rm -r *

cd ..

umount tmpfolder

reboot

If you are still not able to boot. Try wiping the dalvik cache

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0 /

adb shell

cd /data/dalvik-cache

rm *

reboot

I got this working with a 2gb uSD. Here are the directions I remembered.

-Burn the img file with win32diskimager.

-With your NC off; hold like 10 seconds till it's off. Insert the uSD card.

-Power on; hold like 10 seconds until the screen flash or plug in power usb cable.

-Use the volume keys to navigate and n key to select.

-Go to "mount and storage", format system, format data, mount sdcard, then go back.

-Go to "install zip from sdcard", choose zip from sdcard, froyo-emmc-0.2.zip, googleapps.zip, then go back to main menu.

-Go to "mount and storage, unmount sdcard and take uSD card out and restart.

no lag. I am running froyo OC 1100 MHz Kernel.

Quadrant - 1850

Linpack - 13.something

But still can play youtube or listen to MP3s. And my flash player stopped working in the browser (can't figure it out)
[Nook Color Android Development] succulent:
can or can't play youtube? I can't get youtube to work, the web or the app. I installed the flash extension and it work on site like kongregate.
[Nook Color Android Development] f4ion1:

This was an awesome post and I've been using it all day and loving the speed. I hate to see you go.
[Nook Color Android Development] seeddemon:
sorry. fat fingers. i can't play youtube.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ben74:
sam, don't leave! you're a hero in this community. ignore the haters. they're always going to be ignorant jerks out there. it's not just xda, it's every discussion board on the internet. f 'em.

anyway, for the benefit of the original topic, here's my experience. i already had cwm on my NC, so i tried flashing the froyo-emmc zip file straight from cwm. it worked, and i was able to boot into froyo. however, i was unable to get back into recovery mode in order to flash gapps. button combos didn't work, adb reboot recovery didn't work, and rom manager wasn't able to do it either. so i installed a few apps (button savoir, dolphin hd, etc). at some point, upon unlocking the screen, the device spontaneously rebooted, and went into a bootloop. i shutdown, and restarted, but got the boot loop again. power cycled several more times, and still boot loop.

so then i decided to try the uSD image. burned it to my 4gb card, booted it, got into cwm, and flashed the froyo zip and gapps zip. i was able to boot into froyo, and gapps worked. i signed in to my google account. made sure market and gmail were working. installed some apps. had to tend to some work, so i shut down the NC and removed the uSD card. when i tried to start it up again (card not inserted), the screen would not come on. i held the power button for a long time, and after several attempts, gave up.

i put the bootable uSD card in my laptop, copied my nandroid backup to it, put it back in the NC, booted into cwm, and restored my backup.

so it looks like we're close to having a usable version of froyo on emmc, but not quite there yet. sam, i hope you're not abandoning this project! you're so close, and it's going to be so sweet when it's finished!
[Nook Color Android Development] mattphoner:
has anyone, successfully gotten this to reboot and get back into Froyo after thie intial boot of Froyo (ie, a 2nd boot/restart after once being inside of Froyo?).

edit: Just confirmed that I was able to reboot successfully after booting the first time, not changing anything or setting up a google account sync, and simply restarting. No more dead boot! Thanks Samuel! (I used his latest upload that was a repartion-boot-with-stock.zip)
[Nook Color Android Development] succulent:
Yes. My NC only boot to Froyo now. No boot loop.

Just make sure when you do this, have the power plug in.
[Nook Color Android Development] aludal:
That's sad. By chance, did you try an EVO's "HQ" YouTube, as outlined in my blog? It works just fine in my nooted stock 2.1.

Also, did you try "flash10.1 for 2.1" app on your "Froyo"? It's a hacked Flash 10.1 with kinda relaxed demands.

Now I can't tell if I should try this or not
[Nook Color Android Development] succulent:
I did some tests with quadrant benchmark with Froyo on stock speed, 800mhz.

Test with some running apps.

1366

Quandrant full benchmark scores samples after killing running apps:

1549, 1542, 1591, 1594, 1604,

1632, 1590, 1634, 1624, 1451,

1575, 1584, 1599, 1578, 1609

mean ~ 1584, stdv ~ 45, var ~ 2045

Last test after killing quadrant and running benchmark again,

1183, 1583

I noticed some apps started after I killed quadrant so maybe that's why the score dipped.

I don't know how accurate quadrants scores are but they varied.

On average it's a pretty good score but I didn't test NC with Eclair to make see if there is an improvement.
[Nook Color Android Development] wretchedlocket:
I'm planning on still hanging around. There are enough of us who have flashed over to this that you'll have some support. A little more time and the project, or one like it, will pick up and we'll have some nice, custom ROMs.

Now that I've got a Froyo working off eMMC, I'm going to start working on porting over a theme or two.
[Nook Color Android Development] Shadeoblac:
I found a way to restore and it's really easy. Just need back up using the regular clockwork mod backup. Then before flashing the image to the SD card, copy the Clockworkmod folder to your computer. If you need to go back just delete the froyo file from the card to make room for the Clockworkmod folder then use your computer to put the files on the bootable clockworkmod SD card. Once you boot your nook color into clockwork it will allow you to do a full system restore. You should be back to how you had it before you started. I did it to mine worked great. So don't leave. You're so close to something amazing and there is a easy way to go back if it's not working right.
[Nook Color Android Development] cainhunpi:
I might try this. anyone got froyo-emmc-0.2.zip, googleapps.zip left over?
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Was anyone able to figure out why he's leaving?

Maybe we can find another dev that can take this over since we have working links.
[Nook Color Android Development] cainhunpi:
If he release the code I could try to improve it.
[Nook Color Android Development] chhaggerty:
Believe me, Cicada is working on this problem daily, and he feels close to solving the remaining bugs in Nookie Froyo, When he releases, all will be well. Patience will be rewarded.
[Nook Color Android Development] mattphoner:
Here's the answer to the overclock question I had:

Place it in your SDK tools directory (make sure it's called uImage)

Open a command prompt from that same directory, and enter the following:

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1 /

mkdir tmpfolder

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 tmpfolder

exit

adb pull tmpfolder/uImage uImagebak

adb push uImage tmpfolder/uImage

adb shell

umount tmpfolder

rmdir tmpfolder

exit

adb reboot

You should now be able to overclock the CPU up to 1100MHz (SetCPU can be very handy in making sure that part's all kosher).

[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Just so you know, the black screen on boot issue seems to be sdcard mounting related. By this I mean that mounting an sdcard with funky partitions on it will screw youll boot. My fstabs must be wrong.

So dont use your CWR sdcard while using froyo and your be fine. Well I suppose so..

Youll need to format your SD on another machine/phone.

I've restored working links on first post so that you can restore your boot if you get a blank screen on boot. But I won't restore link to froyo emmc img. That ill leave to you to share at you own risk..

Have fun

[Nook Color Android Development] mattphoner:
Thanks for the update Samuel!
[Nook Color Android Development] crashdau:
Thank you Sam. That may have been my issue. I put the sd card to refodmat it....after that I had the black screen.

Again, thank you for all your help.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Sam are you going to another online community that you will continue to develop for the NC on?
[Nook Color Android Development] KitF:
The reason he deleted it is because the instructions/zip are broken/icomplete.

Installing this will work once, but it is still partly broken. I'd say wait until someone else posts an approved ZIP.
[Nook Color Android Development] fprice02:
What's not working on it? Have rebooted many times, installed a full titanium backup and am using it alot now. Gotta be something else behind the scenes. Who knows. Glad he had his info up long enough for a few of us to get it to work. At least we know it can be done! Thanks Sam!
[Nook Color Android Development] chrisngrod:
This didn't go too bad for me.

I had to clear boot also for it to startup correctly. Quadrant score of 2006 (OC 1.1Ghz). First time to run Froyo on the Nook.

Sucks that Pandora and Youtube don't work. They sure do through Dolphin Browser w/Adobe Flash Player installed though.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Why would he work because his zip didn't work 100% correctly? He would simply have to fix it to get it to work correctly. Other devs have roms, kernels, apps, etc that they think are working then people start having problems. Its not a reason to leave its a reason to continue development on what you created
[Nook Color Android Development] succulent:
Sam's files isn't broken. It's the instructions that's vague but I was able to follow through. For beginner it might be intimidating and not clear, but it's not so scary. NC is hard to brick. A video tutorial of this might be better.
[Nook Color Android Development] sp1kez:
Is this for flashing froyo to a nook and have the nook only use froyo?

Like a froyo rom? Or does this still keep BNs crap? Is it fast? When i use nookie froyo off sdcard its slow
[Nook Color Android Development] sardeenz:
agreed.

Also, fyi, I just followed these directions above in the original post and it worked like a champ. Key word here is follow directions. I installed froyo emmc, then gapps, then unmounted sdcard from within ClockworkMod, then copied 1100-froyo-test-kernel-install.zip over to that sdcard from my computer, then popped sdcard back into nook, mounted it in ClockworkMod, then installed it (1100) as well. Then I again unmounted and pulled the sdcard and finally chose reboot system now...and Froyo is running great so far. Note that I did all these installs without rebooting in between. Just go slow, follow the instructions and don't be lame. Just to be safe, after flashing, unmount and pull the sd card before rebooting.

Lastly, one other small difference from the instructions below is that I initially powered up my nook with the sd .img in it by simply plugging it in to my computer.

Agreed that instructions weren't fool proof, but it's better to at least think about what you're doing instead of blindly following instructions.

Nothing is wrong with the files.
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
if anything shoukd go wrong, please flash recovery file found at the botton of first post. then proceed with both factory resets (first 8 failed reboots, then power holding power+n for about 20 seconds).

That should be fail proof.

If you do flash froyo on emmc. Be sure NOT to mount an unformatted scard in. Format sdcard on another machine and then mount on NC.

Regarding youtube not working, try installing it from market. If you cant find youtube. Be sure to apply Protected apps hack.
[Nook Color Android Development] mattphoner:
The Froyo 1.1 wasn't meant to be flashed with Clockwork, in fact in failed on me several times until I read that it was meant as a drag and drop uImage. How did you install it if it wasn't meant to be a flashed zip?
[Nook Color Android Development] cainhunpi:
I need the gapps zip. I wanna try it out. But without gapps it might bw a issue.

the youtube/mp3 issues kind of suck

Just wanted to let you know im up and running for the last 4 hours on your fantastic work. Once i was able to restore the boot, i waited til got home and reinstalled froyo. Working flawlessly @ 800mhz. Will probably retry the 1.1g sometime tomorrow.

Great work and thank you for all your efforts.

If I boot the CWM recovery image sd card will it cause my NC to do the black screen boot loop? I want to try an overclock kernel but i dont want to "brick" my NC then have to wipe boot and start all over.
[Nook Color Android Development] chrisngrod:
Yes this is Froyo on the internal memory. It's really not that bad. Some must haves for me was ADW Launcher, Adobe Flash Player (duh), OC Kernal (2006 Quadrant score), and I'm sure there is more to list. Oh yeah took off the phone standby.
[Nook Color Android Development] wretchedlocket:
I'm writing this in regards to the multiple people who have had trouble with this and are either bricked, stuck in boot loop, etc.

Here's what I did:

- Power off the Nook completely

- Remove any SD card you may have in it

- Insert the SD card you burned, using the directions at http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting

- Plug the USB cable into the computer

- Plus the USB cable into the Nook (this will auto-boot the Nook from the SD card)

- Once CWM boots up, go into "mounts and storage"

- Select "format data" (wait for it to finish)

- Select "format system" (wait for it to finish)

- Select "format boot"

- Press the power button to go back

- Select "install zip from sdcard"

- Select "choose zip from sdcard"

- Select "froyo-emmc-0.2.zip"

- Confirm your decision

- Let it finish (it will tell when it is done)

- Press the power button until you are at the first CWM screen (should say "reboot system now" in first option)

- Remove the sd card

- Select "reboot system now"

- Important: Let the Nook boot up completely. I typically refrain from touching it until the display turns off after boot-up

- Unlock the Nook

- Unplug the USB cable from the Nook

- Power off completely

- Insert the same sd card again (the one we've been flashing from)

- Plug in the USB cable and let CWM boot up again

- Select "install zip from sd card"

- Select "choose zip from sdcard"

- Select "googleapps.zip"

- Confirm your decision

- Let it finish (it will tell when it is done)

- Press the power button until you are at the first CWM screen (should say "reboot system now" in first option)

- Remove the sd card

- Select "reboot system now"

- Important: Let the Nook boot up completely. I typically refrain from touching it until the display turns off after boot-up

- Unlock the Nook
​

That should be what you need to get your Nook running this image. One thing I have learned from lots and lots and lots flashing on my Samsung Galaxy S phone is that you do not flash a ROM and then immediately update packages. If you flash a new image/ROM, you need to reboot and let it boot up completely before you try to flash themes/package updates/app updates/etc.

I hope this helps you guys. I know it can be frustrating with this stuff when you're new. If you've never flashed an Android device before, you chose a difficult device to start with since there are no official releases for the Nook. Virtually everything is still in alpha release.

If anyone sees any mistakes or has any additions to this walk-through, let me know.
[Nook Color Android Development] chrisngrod:
In October I started flashing phones to Cricket. The first time I put my hands on an Android device was in the beginning of September.

I picked up a Color Nook on the 25th and had it rooted. On the 26th I see this post and decide to go Froyo. I follow instructions for the most part. Being the knuckle head I am, I don't make a backup of the original image.

The only thing I had to do extra is wipe the boot or it wouldn't load. So did I just get lucky or was this a great post? I'm thinking it was a great post and whoever complained needs to grow up and accept responsibility for their actions.

I was the first person to "thank" and far from the first person to put this thread to use....
