Help..

My Nook has Clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5 installed.

I want to install phiremod-nook-V5.1.zip

I am using a 2GB card and using 2gb_clockwork-0.1-ext4.img

I believe I'm doing everything correctly, I format the system/data/cache, then I install the ROM from the SD card, it installs correctly, but when the Nook reboots I only have the Clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5 screen.

What am I doing wrong? Why don't I see the Phiremod 5.1 ROM???

Please help.

Thank you

Did you take the sd card out before rebooting?
[Nook Color Android Development] ambogt:
Take out the memory card...
[Nook Color Android Development] discourse:
Has anyone gotten bluetooth working or will that only be supported in the next build?
[Nook Color Android Development] nz75:
Yes the SD card is out and it's still going to CWMR 3.0.0.5

With the SD card in it also does the same!

The only thing it does is load CWMR

I have repeatedly installed the ROM but nothing changes
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
Did you upgrade from an autonooetered (v3) 1.1? I had the exact same problem. It is irrespective of which ROM you put on... It's a problem with older CWR and Autonooter.

You can easily remove CWR, don't worry. Just download the CWR removal zip file from here, put it on your bootable SD card and run the zip from there (there are also instructions in that thread).

As an alternative, you may find this thread more user friendly.

Good luck!

Which rom are you coming from? When you boot up w/out the sd card do you get the 2 skulls when it's booting?

Best option would be to install a stock 1.1 image. This will reset your nook to factory so no more random problems later on. Fresh start. Always good.

Download from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=945838

Format your microsd and then burn the image you just downloaded.

Boot using that. Format system/data/cache. Install the .zip. Once complete format DATA/CACHE (not system). Take out microsd. Boot. Error pops up. Reboot. Once you're at the barnes and noble screen shut down.

Format the microsd again and burn 2gb_clockwork-0.1-ext4.img. Copy over the phiremod .zip. format system/data/cache. Install .zip. Reboot.

Should be good to go. Takes about 10minutes but it's worth it. phiremod is FAST!
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
I would just remove CWR first. As I said I was in a similar situation and all it took was removing CWR. The ROM was properly installed; the problem was the persistent CWR not letting pass the booting process onto the ROM.
[Nook Color Android Development] mazook98:
please do this if you want to get this to work.....you have the WRONG recovery installed. THIS DEFINITELY WORKS: Use a bootable 3.0.0.5 cwm sd card to install the right cwm. The proper file is cwmr_3.O.1 (courtesy of Mistar Muffin) which has the correct kernel..It is available in the cwm thread, and is a flashable .zip. No, dont flash from 3.0.0.5 internal. The new cwm will overwrite your internal 3.0.0.5, and you will have the CORRECT internal 3.0.1 cwm on EMMC; (do NOT get this thru rom manager), from which you can flash phiremod, cm7, hc, whatever...ps....this has ALL been covered in the thread....just sayin.

[Nook Color Android Development] mazook98:
Absolutely agree with this....That other post you quoted contained both convoluted and unnecessary advice (lets flash a different rom image just so we can immediately wipe it?)...Anyway, removing the 3.0.0.5 WILL work, but they may still want to have the right recovery on their EMMC...if they dont have that bootable sd with them, they're s.o.l. until they get it...I wish the instructions for using the proper cwm and kernel for gb and hc emmc was a mandatory boot animation....sigh...

Thank you for the replies so far!!!!!!!

I guessed it was something to do with 3.0.0.5. The instructions I found said to download it from Market, and I presumed it would be the latest one!!!!! Then I discovered a 3.0.0.6 and then another... so I will do this:

Remove CWM and then install a new CWM. But if I don't need CWM after removing the old one, I may not reinstall it. I believe I need it for ROM installs only.

To answer other questions, yes I have two skulls at boot up. my Nook had 1.1 and I nootered it correctly before I tried the ROM installation.

My concern is removing CWM, and then my Nook does nothing, boots nothing, and then it will be bricked right?

Thank you again
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
As I guessed, you are exactly in my position (i.e., installing a ROM using CWR 3.0.0.5, coming from Autonootered 1.1). It is a known bug and now supposedly resolved.

Don't worry... once you remove CWR from eMMC, your NC will boot into Phiremod just fine. Afterward, you can install CWR onto eMMC again if you like. I honestly only use a bootable CWR for installing ROMs and doing backups instead of installing it to eMMC. If you are not installing/flashing often, a dedicated, bootable SD card would be just enough.

Please report back after removing CWR. Good luck!
[Nook Color Android Development] mazook98:
Let's say, just for kicks, that's all you needed to get into recovery for: flashing roms...(EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT.) Now, let's say that you have your nook, and a new flashable .zip comes out that does something you want your nook to do..I dunno, like a 'time travel' mod...I mean, you want it RIGHT NOW.EXCEPT...you don't have your microsd with you, or you lost it, or it got corrupted, whatever...Youd be stuck. Also, there are plenty of mods, roms, that don't work right unless flashed FROM emmc (and vice versa)...Why not have both? It takes about 30 seconds to flash to correct cwm to EMMC... Why some people choose not do this is beyond my scope of reasoning. (I could go on about the fact that the EMMC version makes the correct Backups, and restores those Backups correctly, but maybe I'm just be wasting my breath.) God, sometimes I wish I smoked weed.

Hi guys,

My 2gb sdcard is prepared with 2gb_clockwork-0.7.img

I removed CWR using CWR-removal-rootsafe.zip from my 2gb sd card (CWR says CWR 3.0.0.5), and after restart it had the word A N D R O I D _ and nothing else happened.

I then wiped cache and wiped dalvik cache.

On the sd card I have CWR-removal-rootsafe.zip which I have run from CWR 3.0.0.5 (I presume from my sd)

Now I have the word A N D R O I D _ on the screen and nothing else happens.

I have also tried/installed cwmr_3.0.1.0.zip from CWR 3.0.0.5 on my sd card. But after restart it still got stuck at either "Touch the future of reading" message or got stuck at A N D R O I D _.

I just held down the n key and powered on, I got a B&N "Install Failed" message

after restart it's back at A N D R O I D _ :(

I don't really want to revert to stock rom, but it seems anything I do isn't working anyway. I'm thinking it's something simple.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks :(

Have any of you running Phiremod 5.1 downloaded the World Series of Poker from the Amazon App Store and got it to run full screen? It is the only app I have that reverts to phone size once it gets past the inital flash screens. Those are full screen, but not the game itself.

Just trying to see why it is the only app I have not properly sizing. I have compatability unchecked in Spare Parts and made sure the app is installed internally. The only thing I changed in Phiremod is Density is at 204. Every other game, book and app size right but this one..

Not a big deal. Not even sure the game is worth it, but my compulsive nature is enough to make me continue to try and find ways to make this 1 app work like everything else... :o

thank you and you and you!

Thank you all for your help.. heroes!

I had to upgrade CWM from 3.0.0.5 to 3.0.0.6 with file EMMC CWM 3.0.0.6.zip which I found somewhere and then upgraded to 3.0.1.0 and then installed the ROM and it worked!!!!

I don't know if that really cured it, I tried various things but I'm sure thats what did it.

My problems started following instructions from a guy on androidtablets.net or something, his intstructions were out of date, referred to old files, said to select nook color old during install and thanks to him I had nothing but problems.

Thanks again to you all.

Have to figure out how to get games full screen now rather than in a tiny phone size window ;)

I know a newbie question but with this rom, do you still have access to the stock ereader that came with the nook?

LCD Density Setting Change

I know this issue has been discussed previously, but someone might benefit from this. I love 5.1 but my 60 year old eyes have struggled with the LCD density setting of 161. I experimented a bit and have settled on 181 as a new setting, and i followed the directions in the post above using Root Explorer to edit the build.prop file to make this permanent. Everything is much clearer now, including fonts and text, and hotlinks and buttons are also easier for my fingers to land on the right place. The greatest thing about this change of 20 points was that I didn't have to change any screen layouts. Everything is still in place, just a bit larger. I'm using Launcher Pro with Homescreen preferences set at 5 columns by 10 rows. Neat and I can see it clearly!! Hope this helps someone with aging eyes like mine.
[Nook Color Android Development] mindcandy:
no you don't. furthermore the nook app doesnt read the kids books and this rom will trash your battery life. It's genuinely awesome, but I don't recommend it if you want to use the nook as a ereader first and a tablet second.
[Nook Color Android Development] djlim4:
is it okay to flash the OC kernel?

Does it cause instability? I'm asking cuz it looks like it was changed back from the last version and this is the first Rom i've flashed
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Turn off compatabilitlty mode in spare parts and reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] anmghstnet:
I honestly don't see that, the battery life is pretty good on mine. Yes, some of the features of the ereader are lost but you can get both the nook app AND the Kindle reader.

re: Soft Keys

Could someone tell me what app puts the softkey return and menu in the Notification Bar? I know what the Button Savoir keys look like, but not sure where the notification bar soft keys come from. I'm sure it's in the ROM, but wondering the what the app is. Need to replicate on another device. Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] fullthrottleenergy:
Convoluted and unnecessary? How about a simple way to go back to stock and start fresh.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
The only battery life issue is when the device is sleeping. It looses 2% per hour instead of .2%

The massive battery drains were due to people trying to use setcpu, correct?
[Nook Color Android Development] oldweasel:
jyams, there is a setting in the softkeys options menu to put the return and menu notification itens into the bar, hope this helps!
[Nook Color Android Development] oldweasel:
Question - wanting to use this mod, but have heard that there a re a lot of stability increases, refinements, etc in the CM7 30 nightly, any word on if phiremod is going to do a ROM update soon to a more recent version?

If so I'll wait a few days / week till a newer version comes out, thoughts?
[Nook Color Android Development] jyams:
Um..... is Softkeys an app with settings or is it in the system settings. I can't locate it in either. I'm having a dumb moment.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I have the back and menu buttons on my toolbar, but I am using CM7. I do not have softkeys or ButtonSavior installed.
[Nook Color Android Development] hacku:
He updates the ROM as he sees fit. As he stated in the OP, he made this ROM to fit his wants/needs and decided to share it with the rest of us. So there is no real answer to your question. Install it now, and then update later if/when he releases a newer version of the ROM.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I am running CM7 and pulling stuff out of his rom that I want (Miui player, his wallpapers, etc)

That way I can run the latest CM7.

The only things that I like that I haven't figured out how to get out are the window animations in his setup menus, and the cool blue theme.
[Nook Color Android Development] mindcandy:
lol, me.

I love this rom but the battery drain combined with lack of native nook app means I've had to go back to rooted stock for now. I can't read for more than a couple of hours without having to plug in for a charge.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I'm not having that experience with reading. I read for several hours the other day and maybe lost 40-50%. I go a full day on a full charge with moderate use. I understand wanting the stock app for kids books though.
[Nook Color Android Development] arrjaytea:
If I could take Phiremod 5.1 and add http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002000, I'd be ecstatic.

The only thing I really miss since abandoning the HC preview build is the notification bar at the bottom. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] eespiritu:
Yeah, there's been a lot of support of the bottom status bar on this thread. Hopefully Phiredrop will add to 5.2.

Is there a way to update to the newest nightly without breaking the mod? Maybe he could add that too.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I agree. I wish they would just incorporate it into CM7. It seems like a super popular feature. I don't personally care (I have hardware back/menu) but it would be something fancy. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] flipper2006:
I had 5.1 and i loaded The nightly with the feature and it worked correctly. But I think I'm going to get the Xoom Wifi tommorow. It looks like we won't have HC for a while and not so great battery life (even with froyo) is a little temping. just the 599 price holds me back.
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
Bottom status bar will be in phiremod. Just don't be expecting it too soon :)
[Nook Color Android Development] S3NATOR:
Awesome! Can't wait!
[Nook Color Android Development] mazook98:
If you're formatting system/data/ it wouldn't matter how "fresh" your nook was...you could have it running a emulated Colecovision from EMMC, it would still be wiped.

I've installed V5.1 ROM correctly via CWM on the SD card but for some reason Market will not run at all nor does it show up on the app drawer?

Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] arrjaytea:
Outstanding m8. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] hacku:
I installed this ROM with no problems (except for formatting boot the first time around).

I flashed the 1.1Ghz kernel, and now as soon as it boots up and I unlock the screen I get the "Shutting Down" message and my Nook powers down.

Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? This overclocked kernel worked great with Eclair.
[Nook Color Android Development] faceman66:
Any update to this? Or do I just need to find a new ADW theme, or maybe a different launcher?

I tried both with my autonootered 2.1, and went with softkeys because it let me configure how my physical home button ("N") acted with single and double clicks. I can not get softkeys to act the same way with this Froyo.

I want my N key to open softkeys with one press and launcher with two. No matter what I do though, one press takes me to ADW and two presses opens screen preview. Thoughts?

UPDATE:

OK, issues with softkeys was actually with ADW. I installed Zeam (that I was using before) and everything functions as I want. Thanks again for an awesome rom!
[Nook Color Android Development] hacku:
Well, I flashed the stock kernel back on it and still shutting down on me. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] phiredrop:
Sorry to hear. Try formatting and reflashing, then if you want the OC kernel, double check you use the Froyo specific one (can never be too careful).

A quick update:

Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement. I have big plans for phiremod nook and hope to bring it out of beta to v1 in the coming weeks.
[Nook Color Android Development] faceman66:
I used a bootable CWR SD, followed OP instructions, installed as expected.

Installed 1.1 oc froyo kernel, working great, Quadrant scores ~ 1689-1701. (Sweet!)

Awesome, thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] hacku:
Duh! I didn't realize there was a Froyo specific kernel. I flashed the Eclair version which explains why it kept shutting down. Ill download the right kernel and try again.

Thanks for all the hard work man!

EDIT:

By the way, have you thought about including the overclocked kernel in one of your future updates?

Personally i think soft keys suck horribly. Button savior is amazing, its faster more accessible and free version is more then enough. I think that should be installed as default instead. It also still works after the oc kernel unlike on eclair.

The OP of the original Froyo ROM noted that. He keeps forgetting to remove it though, must slip his mind.

I found an issue with root explorer. Attempting to change from r/o to r/w, the button is hard to read, but was able to change. I messed up the google framework app by deleting data and I could not get the market to work. I got another copy of the app and moved it to the system/app folder and was going to change permissions, which I did. But I could not save the changes. The Ok and the Cancel buttons are not visible. I tried changing the density thinking that would help, but not. I had to reflash the rom. Anybody else have this issue? Beware if you have to make changes. May want to check out that ability first.
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
I'm sticking to some kind of stock on the emmc. What is the game that was listed in the first post this AM? Curious to give it a try.

Am I the only one that's sick of a two-sentence post followed by a half-page retarded sig?
[Nook Color Android Development] faceman66:
That's why it's an opinion. Everyone has one. And my issue/question was not about which was better. Besides, as my post stated, the issue was with ADW and not button savior or softkeys. I tried both and neither functioned the way I wanted until I changed launchers.

Also, using both Sk and Bs on my eclair build, both worked after I oc'd. maybe you broke something?

In my case button savior is annoyingly laggy, whereas soft keys is snappy. Ugly, but snappy.

I'm new to the Nook and the world of flashing, so please forgive me for asking stupud questions (I have looked through this post, but didn't find the answer).

I have rooted my Nook, made a backup using ClockworkMod and played around with it. And I also had to restore back to stock, so I have used the ClockworkMod a little.

And now I want to try out the Phiremod release - it looks cool!

But I get a confused or uncertain when reading the installation guide:

So:

1; I should prepare an SD card with ClockworkMod and copied the content of the tar-file to the root of the card.

2; Place the SD in the Nook and power it up.

3; The FORMAT-part... Is that a menu item on the ClockworkMod? Under Advanced?

4; Flash Phiremod - what/how exactly do I do that?

Help is greatly appreciated :)

Anyone having youtube playback issues? Mine just looks choppy and lags a bit.
[Nook Color Android Development] dinohaven:
Ahh....I remember when...

The absolute...best tutorial on how to Flash nook ROMs can be found on UNLOCKR.

Check the video's here:

http://theunlockr.com/?s=unlock+nook

Basically, you will need to create an image of clockworkmod and simply install it on your SD card. That will get you to where you need to get Phirmod up and running.
[Nook Color Android Development] dinohaven:
Colbur - Mine also is choppy. But from what I read on the first thread they ackowledged that it was slow...a version before we didn't have youtube at all...so I am pleased with the dude's progresss.

Great thanks!

And the FORMAT-part; is that partitions on the card?
[Nook Color Android Development] pei_boy:
With the stock Nook firmware when I connect my Nook to USB I was able to drag and drop stuff into the internal memory of the device.

I don't seem to be able to do that now. Is that by design?
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
yes .. .while you are in ClockWorkMod you will see an option to formate those 2 partitions. Also I *think* you will need to partition your card with a ext4 partition on it before you start .....

Can someone PLEASE verify this is correct or not ???

.

Remember it is almost impossible to brick the nook... but sure can be a pain to get it back up and running when it does semi-brick. so be careful and ask questions here first !!

Wifi problem:

Everything was fine last night with wifi. I was at my friend's place and connected to her WLAN (had to enter a key). Then when I got home I found that I could no longer connect to my home WLAN. I tried toggling wifi on and off, hard power cycle, several reboots and no matter what I do it's not seeing, scanning for or connecting to any networks. Anyone know what's going on? EDIT: I booted nookie froyo from uSD and wifi works fine. Still won't turn on/connect in phiremod/CM7

And a question:

The transition and window animations are, IMO, awful looking. Is there anyway to go back to a slide in/out type of transition effect instead of these silly scrunching/flipping/whatever they are? I realize I can turn them off completely, but seems like other roms have more aesthetically pleasing animations.
