Cant write to sd card :( ive tried writing as one 16gb sd card and it didnt work, tried creating 5gb partition and that didnt work either, what does work?

anyone?
[Nook Color Android Development] droidseban:
What OP meant is that when you boot with this image, you can see the SD partition within Honeycomb. So apps that require an sdcard partition would run fine. In the previous image (v1), this wasn't the case.
[Nook Color Android Development] DomSim:
k, i was able to move the file with adb, thanks for the help
[Nook Color Android Development] taylor.fowler:
If you install SetCPU (no root access) you can see the device is scaling with the OC 1.1 kernel. Though it's only showing 4 states for me 300,600,800,1000.
[Nook Color Android Development] jleecong:
X2, but didn't check the states.
[Nook Color Android Development] deolarte:
oh, so what about dropbox? yesterday i tried but said no sd card, will i be able to install if i downlad apk?
[Nook Color Android Development] nmhusa:
I installed a few programs from the Market. All worked well. Dropbox should be fine too.
[Nook Color Android Development] molesaied88:
so im able to get the youtube app to work once but then when i go to another video it restarts the nook. idk if this helps at all just figured id pass it along
[Nook Color Android Development] jleecong:
Dropbox installed fine, but wouldn't run because of no SD Card, the new release has a SD Card so it should work fine.

If I wasn't in the middle of burning a 02a image I would try it out to make sure.
[Nook Color Android Development] deolarte:
no yeah i mean if use drop box on browser to download apks which are stored on drop box, will it allow me to install apks no that there is an sd card available. Thus not having to adb push. Also since the sd card is not possible to be seen in windows, dont know for sure since im still downloading, will i be able to boot into ubuntu and view once sd card is in the adpater in pc?

SU Not Working

I keep getting the same error. Is there anyway to get SU working. It's not much fun Testing things when I can't access Root.
[Nook Color Android Development] juise:
For whatever reason I'm having problems getting this to work.

What I have:

Nook Color (rooted, autonooter)

Win7 64bit PC

Samsung Epic (rooted, Froyo, Ext4)

Winrar 64bit ver

Winimage 8.5 64bit ver.

What I think might be the problem:

I only have 16gb Micro SD cards, I dont have any readers that support them though. So I used my phone to mount the sdcard on my pc. When I mount the card after using winimage I see a 115mb boot partition that shows in windows. So I assume the imaging worked, but it may not have. I wouldnt think the bigger card would be a problem unless its causing some kind of partition table problem.

What are your suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] Paul22000:
Hey Deeper-Blue, how about a Donate link? : )
[Nook Color Android Development] deolarte:
Thanks, now how do you access the sdcard from computer to add apks?

[Nook Color Android Development] nmhusa:
I used the 2a version with Market preinstalled and then downloaded dropbox to transfer and load APKs onto the nook color with Honeycomb. Works great ! No need to ADB.
[Nook Color Android Development] jleecong:
This will get you more than 2a (Market and GMail, working on adding other apps)...

Thanks for the mirror, the original was down and the torrent doesn't have anyone seeding.
[Nook Color Android Development] Vid.:
Incorrect tracker URL in OpenBitTorrent file

deeper-blue's torrent file has a typo in the URL for the OpenBitTorrent trackers. Their trackers use UDP rather than HTTP, so clients never connect to the trackers when using his file. I've attached a fixed torrent file (remember to remove the extra .txt extension), but we will need someone to seed before it will be useful.

EDIT: Looks like I'm wrong. They are supposed to support both, but neither works for me right now.

[Nook Color Android Development] tech_head:
I picked up a Class 6 card from Fry’s last night works fine.

As soon as this is rooted and can go to the internal ROM I’m done with the stock firmware.

I tried the Nook App from the Market and it works.

One note though, my market doesn’t sync on honeycomb so none of my paid apps show up.
[Nook Color Android Development] jackxlj:
my apps all synced fine, all paid apps are available, and i am kinda digging the nook app on this vs the stock nook app
[Nook Color Android Development] jleecong:
Deeper-Blue, I'm sure you 50 million things, but can you increase the refresh rate on the next build?

[Nook Color Android Development] japzone:
Root by Default?

I've had no luck getting SU to work on Honeycomb but I went to Android's Shell and I noticed this:

root@android:/ #

It looks like Shell already has Root Privledges. Sure enough I was able to install Busybox, which requires Root Shell to install. Does anybody know why it's like this? And is there anyway to get Superuser Apps to work?
[Nook Color Android Development] simon.ponder:
Use winrar or similar, don't use 7-zip.
[Nook Color Android Development] hvuong2:
I downloaded the file...

As a zip file = 610,282kb

When opening the zip it shows as = 624,927,679 bytes

Extracting the zip to img = 4,294,967,296 bytes

Is this correct?
[Nook Color Android Development] jackxlj:
if you login,our paid apps should show up, if you load up market,it will ask you to sign in,sign in with your username. wether or not your gmail acct syncs shouldnt stop your market info from syncing, as its cloud based
[Nook Color Android Development] Synssins:
Yes. The image is 4GB uncompressed, and compresses down a LOT due to the empty space in the image.
[Nook Color Android Development] barczakmark:
Hmm.. I can't get either image to run on a 16gb class 4 sd card. Anyone have luck doing this or knows a way? I have a 2 gb card as well but I'm not sure if the image can compress to fit on it since it is a 4gb
[Nook Color Android Development] jackxlj:
mine is loading fine on a 16gb sd card bought from bestbuy, class 4,loaded it using win32diskimager, then used easus to expand the sd partition to increase internal space,and sd card space to cover the rest

okay thanks! i'll give it a shot! I just kept getting "android_" before but i haven't tried this yet

I have a 16gb card as well, and i still cant get mine to work, ive downloaded the file 3 diff times from 3 diff people tried unzipping with 7zip and winrar, partitioned my card to be 5GB and still nothing.

when i run the win32 disk imager and click write, it just flashes done and does nothing. :(

Help someone, i have 12gb of honeycomb none of which i can get to work :(
[Nook Color Android Development] brie987:
This is odd. I cannot reformat my 4gb card, it says I only have 117mb on it. I had nookhoney01 on it and it ran great on my NC so I tried reformatting it to try nookhoney02 but when it was done it says I only have 117mb, I never had this happen. How do I go about reformatting? Thanks for all help.

New Google Honeycomb Apps?

Is there any way we can get the new Google Honeycomb Apps? One of the Reasons I wanted to Load Honeycomb was so I could get those Tablet Designed Google Apps. I know the new SDK is up but are the New Apps Available anywhere? I tried Downloading from Market but no Luck.

PS: I still can't get SU to work although as I stated before it looks like Shell is already by Default Root.
[Nook Color Android Development] hvuong2:
Brie987... I had similar issues with other images. You will need a third party app that will allow you do delete all partitions on the card to reformat the entire size. Once you do that, you can image the nookhoney02 onto the card again.

Hope that helps. I had to hunt around for an app... But unfortunately I can't recall the name of that app. Will post once I get it...
[Nook Color Android Development] japzone:
You need a Partitioning Program for Windows because by default Windows only sees the First Partition and therefor all you Formatted was that one Partition. One trick if you don't have Access to Linux is to pop it into a Camera or other Device and use that Device's Refomat option.

Same issue here. I'm trying another download. My Froyo will write the the drive.

Hey thanks that is what I thought, I have been looking for just that right now. When I find one I will leave a note here to help others. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] bhorocks:
not even that. to reformat boot nook up stock put sdcard in, go to settings, device info ,sdcard.

then unmount sdcard and format.

Bam. ful disk size back
[Nook Color Android Development] Synssins:
For the SD Card issues...

Boot your Nook Color without an SD card installed.

When you are running in whatever image you have, whether it be B&N 2.1, or Froyo, insert the SD card.

Go into Settings, view Device Information and the SD Card. Unmount the card from within Android.

FORMAT the card from within Android.

Remove the card from the system when done.

Re-image with Win32Disk Imager or whatever you use.

If you are having issues with Win32 Disk Imager, it may need to be run as an Administrator.

For ADB in Honeycomb...

Apps > Settings > Development > Debug Mode (from memory)

Enable Debug.

Reboot the device.
[Nook Color Android Development] simon.ponder:
2a?

Where is the 2a version?
[Nook Color Android Development] Ordieth:
Is the SD card working?
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
You realize that to get to the "image" via adb it has to be running in your nook right? Have you accessed your nook via adb while running rooted stock?

Homer
[Nook Color Android Development] theyownus:
This worked for me:

Run the following command in terminal:

sudo sh -c "mkdir -p ~/.android; echo 0x2080 > ~/.android/adb_usb.ini; adb kill-server; adb devices"

Any ideas?

[Nook Color Android Development] dangerdan:
I want to go buy a Nook Color today because it looks like a cheap tablet that has a lot of development for Honeycomb. Although I am a little scared though, I don't want to have to keep running it off of a SD card.

Will there ever be a full version of honeycomb running off this thing?
[Nook Color Android Development] theyownus:
wow... you realize the SDK hasnt even been released yet right?
[Nook Color Android Development] 10equals2:

[Nook Color Android Development] barrosd12:
He went to go buy it today, so I doubt he has too much of an idea of everything the devs have been doing with the NC for the past two months.

To answer your question dangerdan, right now this is the only way we have of running what's essentially an alpha/beta preview version of the Honey SDK on the Nook Color. In the future, once Cyanogen releases CM7 for the NC and the actual, legitimate SDK is released from Google, we can look forward to running 3.0 off the eMMC
[Nook Color Android Development] dangerdan:
Thanks for your wonderful input.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
MU link is now up. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
Take a few breaths, go have lunch. When you get back. Make sure you have a way to

- calculate MD5,

- WinRar,

- Win32DiskImager (win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.2-r23-win32, or newer) and

- EASEUS Partition Manager Home Edition.

Install the MD5 calc program and double check the images you DL'd to make sure the MD5sum matches. If not, delete the bad file and download again.

Unzip Win32DiskImager someplace handy, I have a Windows Tools folder in my Nook Color folder. It keeps all of my Nook Tools in one place. Right click on the exe file and select properties. Goto Advanced, set for all users and select Run as Administrator. Apply and exit.

Install EASEUS. Once it it done, go to the shortcut in your start menu, right click and get properties. Goto Advanced, set for all users and select Run as Administrator. Apply and exit.

Now, with your card with all the trouble in your SDcard reader, make sure it is closed in Explorer. Run EASEUS (it will prompt to run as admin). You should find your main drive (DO NOT TOUCH THIS ONE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED) and the SDcard reader. Select the SDcard reader, right click and delete each partition. Apply these changes (lower left), say yes, no need to reboot and exit.

Load up Win32DiskImager (it will prompt to run as admin). You should then be able to burn the image.

Before trying anything fancy, put this in your Nook and verify that it boots.

If you have gotten this far, you can do all sorts of things. Probably the first thing you want to do is power off the nook, load the card up with you PC and resize the SDcard partition to use all of the space left on your card.

Enjoy,

Homer
[Nook Color Android Development] dangerdan:
Alright, thats a more helpful answer. Thanks. But yeah the only reason I was asking that was that I was planning on going out and buying one today.
[Nook Color Android Development] sinister4g63:
Iirc, they are releasing the full SDK today according to the Google event. No?

Edit: Yep looks like SDK is being released today, that's going to open a lot of options up. Buying an NC once I get to next town with a Barnes & Noble :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Well I aplaud Deeper blue and all for getting this on the NC! It is pretty amazing how far people have come in getting work done on this tablet.

MY own experience with honeycomn however is:

Don't expect much other thn using it to play with. It is slow buggy crashes alot. Despite a class 6 card. And oc kernel my best quadrant is 1600 but it feels much slower than eclair. So for those who have not tried this yet you might want to hold off until the hardware drivers are up to snuff.

Flash doesn't work either.

Nookie Froyo by comparison flies

[Nook Color Android Development] misaacs6516:
I upgraded to newest version of imageWin32diskimager and it wrote the files correctly. Good luck
[Nook Color Android Development] slugbug2010:
From another perspective/point of view:

I've used it for a lot more than to play with. Although even if it is used to just play with, it is beautiful! The UI is more than I expectected.

I can get to the Market, my gmail account, and my google documents. I can play the few little games I like to play and wifi works (so I can use it all the time with my Evo's wifi turned on). I turned my phone into my primary music player so sound is not that big of a deal to me. I can read the news, browse the internet and facebook.

PLUS I have two sd cards, so if I want to use it as a Reader, it's real easy to just switch the cards out. Actually, unless and until I want to use it as an eReader I'll continue to use HC.
[Nook Color Android Development] cainhunpi:

[Nook Color Android Development] t3hjonneh:
Either all the mirrors are corrupt, or that file is indeed 466mb. I'm gonna go with that, because I doubt the whole 4gb partition is filled, its just an image file, so it'll inflate to the sdcard.
[Nook Color Android Development] likearaptor:
Mine was 466 and it did extract to 4GB, getting it written to sd card now
[Nook Color Android Development] dambrosioj:
Yupp its only 466mb once extracted you will get the 4gb but people with windows are having trouble extracting it then burning it to SD
[Nook Color Android Development] t3hjonneh:
Good to know. I'll let you know if I succeed.
[Nook Color Android Development] camwinnn:
Yes it is 466mbs since its compressed, will be 4gb after.

The worry probably comes with it not working/not extracting right for some. i have noticed Winrar works were 7zip doesnt. (win7 64)

Cant say much more since i cant burn it :P only 4gb sdcards here.
[Nook Color Android Development] thawkth:

Winrar 64-bit extracts the archive perfectly! Thanks camwinnn!
