[Nook Color Android Development] sardeenz:
repost txt only of initial thread

Thanks Sam, but what were the reasons for the delete?

Usual disclaimers apply, I don't want people hating me because something went wrong. This has been tested 3 times on my nook. If some experienced users could test this before everyone else jumps in. So wait maybe a day or so before trying this if you don't know what 'dd' command is.

All credits go to:

- IOMonster, for letting me use his work (and others) on this thread.

- Nookie devs, especially cicada.

- FatTire, for being so wise. And having superb splash screen skills.

Thanks.

As usual, a backup is strongly recommended.

Backups should be made using dd command, with adb.

Code:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0pX of=/path/to/where/the/image/should/go.img

Media partition is a good place to dd backups, but make sure you download them to your computer, as a factory reset formats media.

So for example, saving boot.img from adb shell root to media would go as follow:

HTML Code:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/media/stock-boot.img

Note: 'busybox' could be required before 'dd', for the command to work: 'busybox dd'.

If you choose not to make a backup, there are usually ways of getting the NC to work again quite quickly, even when totally messed up. But this isn't a guarantee of any kind!

What you'll find here: an .img file to burn to SDcard. The image contains IOMonster/thecubed's bootable CWR, with three flashable zips:

1. Froyo on eMMC installation, based on Nookie froyo 0.5.9. With a few tweaks of my own, but nothing to special. Your external SD should mount, No Cell signal icon is hidden, and Phone/MMS/Telephonyprovider are removed.

2. Gapps to go with it (not mandatory, as usual)

3. Restore to stock Eclair 1.0.1

Instructions:

1. Burn .img to SDcard (this has been explain throughout the forum and on NookDevs.com).

2. Boot with SDcard inserted

3. Format system and data in 'mounts and storage', you could also format boot, but that crashes CWR, a hard reset (reboot) is then required. System and data should be enough. But don't forget to do this, or you will certainly boot loop, or freeze or even die in horrible circumstances..

4. Make sure /sdcard is mounted in 'mounts and storage' and then install .zip from sdcard.

5. Gapps can be flashed immediately after that, is you wish to do so. But you can live without.

6. Restore 1.0.1 works exactly in the same manner. Don't forget to format system and data.

Once you've burnt the image, you can add any other flashable zip of your choosing. For example, a new overclocked kernel. Simply copy it to the root of the SDcard.

If you have any problem and require assistance, explain yourself clearly and exhaustively. Thank you.

IOMonster CWR img with bundle files:

- Download CWR image with froyo-emmc, gapps and restore 1.0.1 (): froyo-emmc-0.2.img.

- Mirror on multiupload (uploaded by f4ion1) here.

Files, without IOMonster's CWR img:

The following can be added to the root of IOMonster's rootpack, or flashed from sdcard on Internal CWR. The latter hasn't been tested though. Note that CWR will not work on internal (without sdcard) once Froyo is installed. I'd really recommend using IOMonster's rootpack all the way.

- Froyo-emmc-0.2.zip (flashable) only: here.

- Googleapps.zip (flashable) only: here.

Overlclocked kernel 1100mhz FOR FROYO ONLY you could try out, but this kernel hasn't been exhaustively tested:

- Download flashable 1100-froyo-test-kernel-install.zip here.

- Download flashable 1100-froyo-test-kernel-removal.zip here.
