[Nook Color Android Development] hidden72:
I understand there may be different versions of hardware that require minimum software versions, so please do your research before following these instructions. My unit came with 1.0.1 from the factory, so that's what these instructions cover.

I'm an Android/Nook newbie (just bought one last night)... so I apologize if this is too "rudimentary" for your liking.

I installed Nookie Froyo 0.5.9 flashed to eMMC. It worked great, but after a few reboots, my Nook died on me. No matter what I did, I would always get the black screen. If I was plugged into my Windows 7 box, I would hear 3 low beeps while the Nook powered-on, but immediately I would hear the "device removed" beeps and nothing would happen on the screen. Here's the recovery process that I have used twice now (Windows 7x64 user).

Get nookie-froyo-SDIMAGE_2GB-0.5.9.img.gz and burn to a 2GB card (I use winimage).

Next, get ADB installed and working

Next, see this post for stock boot.img and system.img download locations. Place these two files in the same place where you have adb.exe (c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools most likely). If they're zipped, you'll need to unzip/unrar/un-gz them so they're standard .img files.

Once you have all these in place, boot your NC with the Froyo SD card. We are going to temporarily copy the original boot.img and system.img files onto the SD card, and from there we will "burn" them back to the Nook internal memory. Finally, we'll initiate the "factory reset" and get everything back to defaults.

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /media

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb push boot.img /media/boot.img

(note: if you have adb problems, if the file doesn't upload properly, you get protocol errors, etc. use "adb kill-server" and then try again.)

Power off the Nook

Remove the SD card

Hold the power and "N" buttons together for ~20 seconds to turn on the Nook. This should initiate the factory reset. First time it might say "install failed". Turn the nook off again by holding power for ~10 seconds and then power-on again holding both Power & N buttons for ~20 seconds. (If you have troubles getting factory reset to work, nookdevs has some additional information that might help.)

This time you should have the option to factory reset. You'll hit the N button twice, watch it clean up, and when its all done, you'll be back to 1.0.1 factory defaults. Good luck!

this works wonderfully! thank you very much!
[Nook Color Android Development] bt1980:
Hey there, thanks for packaging NF in a much more user-friendly way. Keep up the good work!

I have some small issues/bugs to report.

1) First time I installed this, I think I must have done something wrong (like tried to format the SD card from withing NF)... because my NC wouldn't boot... like nothing on the screen at all. I had to restore stock images with a NookieFroyo SD card and ADB. This was my own fault as the instructions clearly say not to format SD; but I wanted to inform others of the potential consequences. Although I also had ClockWork Recovery installed internally before all of this... so that could also be a factor.

2) I have since reflashed Custom NookieFroyo via Clockwork Recovery Image (after I restored everything to stock) and it is booting just fine; but in under 12 hours (overnight, sleeping, not touching the Nook at all) it has done 1 random reboot and 1 random power off... and a couple of the apps I installed from the market are now saying they are not installed.

Both times I wiped /boot, /data, and /system from CWM before flashing... and the second time I was coming from completely stock 1.01 (with recovery restored, and I did the N+8 procedure beforehand).

Other than a couple of missing apps, it is running very smoothly/quickly and all my widgets show up. Market apps download fairly quickly.

I am using Beautiful Widgets, the original Zeam launcher that comes with the image, Pure Calendar, Power Control, AdFree Android, Facebook Widget. I set animations to fast via Spare Parts. I set WiFi policy to never sleep.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
The reboots are probably related to the wifi policy. Try clearing your cache if it happens again and report back if you don't mind. Thanks for the info.
[Nook Color Android Development] 71CH:
nvm. got it to work.
[Nook Color Android Development] bt1980:
Ok, I've been stable all day. But what I noticed is the three apps missing are all reported as ones that installed to SD.There IS an .androidsecure folder. I can't reinstall the apps, even after "uninstalling" them and clearing market cache and data. I also tried removing the .asec files from .androidsecure, and installs still fail. Nothing for any of the three apps is listed in Titanium. Two of the apps were market (download success, install unsuccessful) and the third is official XBMC remote downloaded APK that I am trying to install by opening it in Linda File Manager. Maybe something messed with froyo apps2sd? And maybe the transfer of those apps to SD is also what caused my instability issues earlier?
[Nook Color Android Development] totololo:
Thank you !

THANK YOU !!!

It worked perfectly !

Love ya ! hahahaha !!!

Has anyone gotten the media partition to mount properly in their host PC?
[Nook Color Android Development] miketaylor00:
Why didn't you use a flashable zip? You could cut down on the steps of formatting and what not by doing it that way. Update scripts are easy to write, I don't know why no one is using them on the Nook Color. I'm almost bothered by it enough to go back to releasing my own ROM.
[Nook Color Android Development] bt1980:
I remember hearing that NookieFroyo was not compatible with internally installed Clockwork Recovery. So the reason this is an SD card image is to allow you to keep stock recovery on your NookColor, and boot into Clockwork Recovery to flash the ZIP that will be on your uSD after you write this image.

Personally I like the idea of keeping my internal recovery stock, so I can always do the 8-interrupted boots trick.

Edit: Oh, I see! It's not a flashable zip inside the IMG... it's a script that calls DD to write a bunch of uncompressed dumps. My bad. Why yes, I AM a master of restating the obvious! ;)

Yeah, I tired TapaTalk and that works.

You can use this app to access your internal storage. There is an earlier version included with the Nookie Froyo ROM, but the updated version is in the first post.
[Nook Color Android Development] hanbalfrek:
I have a problem.

I can't find some apps on the Android Marketplace and have determined that the problem is because the Marketplace sees the application as not compatible with our device.

This error is shown when I tried to download an application from the web version of Android market.

In the application version, the apps just don't show up.

Some apps I have problems finding are Evernote, Facebook for Android, Sugarsync (don't know what that is, but pulled from a thread of someone else with this problem).

Anyone know how to fix this or another way of getting the apps?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
I tried to dig around in this thread, but it's rather long, so I just figured I'd toss this out there:

Does anyone know how to at least calm down the horrible lockscreen flicker after putting NC to sleep? It seems to vary in severity, but once it made the whole screen go white, which quite honestly freaked me out. I never had this problem with rooted stock and an OC kernel. Any help is very much appreciated.

SetCPU

I'm running 300-11000 with 2 step down profiles based on battery usage. Working great for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] Cotys:
Missing Apps

Yep, had the same problem. I couldn't get to some of my favorite apps. I created a new build.prop with the profile from an HTC EVO Shift. Check post #750 in this thread. I checked market and found all 3 of the apps you mentioned are available on my Nook. My Nook shows up as a HTC PG06100 in the Market and seems to open up all the "non-compatible" apps.

[Nook Color Android Development] comdei:
any idea when we will see an EMMC update...?

I see you updated the SD card version
[Nook Color Android Development] RichAP:
I did something similar to this but also how to do the Force Close Google Framework/Clear Cache Force Close Market/Clear Cache dance and then run Fix Permissions in Rom Manager & Reboot.

I can see Evernote, Facebook, SugarSync and a few others that I would normally only get on my DroidX.

I suppose I rarely use the market on NC, but it'd still be nice to have consistent access. I wish I could iron out my minor problems since my OCD is driving me up a wall!
[Nook Color Android Development] duuster:
Hello and Thank you again for this ROM. I initially tried this rom after using autonoote 3.0, then I tried the nookie froyo, but liked this more. So I went ahead and restored my NC to stock 1.0.0, then flashed this awesome rom. I've successfuly flashed this rom, and installed some apps, now I'm trying to install the dalgrin oc kernel, but im having trouble installing it from CWR, im getting a unable to mount /sdcard error. I've tried booting into cwr thru rom manager, and also by using power+n button, everytime I try to install the .zip from sdcard, I get that error. I would really appreciate any help any one can give. Thanks again !!!
[Nook Color Android Development] junkrobot:
I would go to the main CWR page and update it manually as per the instructions. You need ADB access, so heads up on that.

Once I updated it properly, I was able to mount again.
[Nook Color Android Development] duuster:
Thanks junkrobot, but do you mean I should use this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971197

Getting random shutdowns..

I can't trace why this happens yet.

Any Idea what I can do to troubleshoot to try understand where the problem comes from.
[Nook Color Android Development] wgarrido:
I think I am getting the same thing. I am using the SD version and it will reboot into stock. I have to shutdown and start it again. I thought maybe since I have been running OC lately. It usually happens while it is still sleeping so I change the screen profile back to ondemand instead of conservative.

Also sometimes the screen will turn off in the middle of using it and I have to turn it back on, but everything is still running. This is my 2nd flash of froyo. Didn't have this the first time, but I wasn't OCed most of the time either.
[Nook Color Android Development] kan555:
It's been several days so I thought I'd ask. For anyone who flashed this kernel, did you experience any more wifi looping problems? I haven't flashed this one yet but thinking about it since my nook is start acting up. Anymore recent kernel that fixes this wifi on/off problem? TIA!
[Nook Color Android Development] funcrusher:
I haven't had any wifi issues since I flashed it.

Change the homepage; it something on that google homepage. When you open it, tap the address bar and choose another page quickly. This will give you time to change the homepage.

I ran rom manager with the froyo zip file in my sd card, but when it completes its process, i was back on the hacked 1.1 rom...except with all my data erased (apps , downloads, cache) and.

What did i do wrong in the first place? (Typing on my book so please excuse spelling)
[Nook Color Android Development] dallas4u:
Having this same issue. Can't install Facebook or Dolphin HD browser because of this... anyone have any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
You need to unzip it and apply the image to the sdcard then boot to that sdcard. The sdcard will have CWR on it already.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ravynmagi:
I'm using the Nookie Froyo ROM and I guess it reports it's model name as "Nook Color (zoom2)" to applications.

I found that one application does not like model names with parentheses. I contacted the developer and he tried to fix the app, but so far has been unsuccessful.

I'm wondering it there is some way I can get rid of the (zoom2) in the model name somehow, so I can get the app working?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Mount /system in rw mode. Then edit the /system/build.prop file. Keep in mind that you might be breaking something else.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ravynmagi:
Thanks, that fixed the app. Now I'll just cross my fingers and hope it didn't break something else. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] ax0r:
Its not a location crash it fc before opening so no address bar. Can someone attach a working APk of browser?
[Nook Color Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Just thinking outloud, but couldnt the SD users use the UMS app to mount the system partition and then replace the framework files that way?

EDIT: Also think this is worth looking into for froyo SD's. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12201826&postcount=1

It requires the user to have 2 SD cards on hand but other than that it looks like a good update process for SD bootable's
[Nook Color Android Development] boggsie:
Well, thanks to you, I just moved over from SD to eMMC.

Now I need to figure out how to get the updated framework.zip loaded.

Is is likely that I can use the SD card from this particular effort to flash the framework.zip on to my eMMC?

will this work?

Insert SD back into Windows PC

delete the file nookie-froyo-flashable-v0.6.8.custom.zip from the sd card

copy framework.zip to the sd card

go through flashing steps

reboot

Thoughts?

Can you post the build.prop changes? Too lazy to pull them from update.

So with dalingrins new kernel, unable to mount sd card when connected to pc. Is this still a problem with new update?
[Nook Color Android Development] EverythingNook:
would i need clockwork recovery to do this?
[Nook Color Android Development] EverythingNook:
burning the image to the sd can be done with windisk imager right?
[Nook Color Android Development] boggsie:
Win32DiskImager.exe is what I used and it was very straightforward to flash to eMMC.

Getting the framework.zip to update eMMC or SDCARD is proving to be well beyond my linux-fu capabilities.

Stuck in bootloop

PROBLEM SOLVED, HAD USED the CM7 kernel instead of the correct FROYO kernel.

Flashed and now stuck in a bootloop.

I see the new status bar for a few seconds, then the blue cloud with nookie froyo words appears again, then the lock screen, then the blue cloud reboot animation. Over and over.

It won't let me unlock.

I flashed the ROM, then the framework from 3/19, then the latest kernel.

Never got a chance to install the browser .apk.

any tips?
[Nook Color Android Development] Izord:
Flashed again, just the ROM, and it worked. Is this the same ROM as the previous one? Looks to be identical.

Then I rebooted with the recovery SD card and flashed the framework from 3-19 and it worked.

I fixed the market, downloaded root explorer. Renamed the installed browser, installed the new one and it's working except browser fc on the google homepage. What's up with that?

Haven't tried the latest kernel. Anyone tried that?
[Nook Color Android Development] Izord:
If you change the google from mobile to classic view it won't fc anymore.

Installing the browser.apk didn't SEEM to fix anything for me.

Now I installed the lates Froyo kernel which seems to be from 3/08.

In settings/ about phone my kernel version went from 2.6.29.omap1 #62 (included in the OP ROM) to 2.6.29.omap1 #8.

Is this a good thing?

Can anyone tell me what the best kernel to be running is?

Framework and N key

I installed the framework using Windows and ADB. It took a minute or two to come up after reboot, but came up and it looks good. I like it.

The notes on page one says:

You will not have to run softkeys as a service, but set the physical button to be one tap launcher and two taps softkeys for any app that hides the statusbar.

I don't remember how to do that??? I pecked around settings and LauncherPro, but didnt see 1 and 2 tap settings.
