That was me that posted the above at the B&N forums. I managed to root my NC with the help of many of you since I lurk here more than I post but I am by no means a huge techie yet even I was like "how are they going to get the update to HSN shoppers first?" The rep came back and said they shouldn't be stating that because she didn't know how that could even be possible.

HSN made several changes to their page, now it says the microSD card is 2GB, they added the bullet point "The NOOK Color device comes with 8 apps and more will become available after the April update". But they still claim that "HSN customers will receive the update first when it's available". Yesterday they mentioned Flash, now no such mention. They also changed the specs to say it has 8 GB of memory, yesterday they were claiming 5.
[Nook Color General] ADude:
Phone reps don't know these sorts of things.

Here is how it is possible:
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
Also, it wouldn't be hard for the HSN people to get it first, if that's what they choose. The updates roll out depending on the Nook's serial number, so they could easily have a special block of nooks that they know are sold on HSN.

as for going to the HSN to die...I've seen plenty of HP laptops on HSN that were just released on their website/in store. Not to mention they have been selling the Wii off and on now for probably 3+ years.

http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/nook/11266-just-posted-fb-page-barnes-nobles-nook-re-update.html

looks like b&n is confirming the update :)

this should open up a lot of development around here which is good considering the fate of honeycomb is up in the air. if we are lucky the new kernel will help solve some of the issues with cm7... if not at least we'll have an official froyo build to play with.
[Nook Color General] cabbieBot:
As was always the case, it is getting froyo, flash and an app store and there was not a reason under the sun to doubt it. Skeptics are going to be skeptics, though, and I'm sure even now they will say its vaporware. And they'll be wrong.

FYI this was posted 8hrs ago on the office nook Facebook Page.

""You asked, we listened. This spring, use your NOOK Color to send e-mail and explore popular apps like Angry Birds, Drawing Pad, Lonely Planet Phrasebooks, and Wine PhD. Stay tuned here for news about these exciting new features and when the firmware update will be ready. (P.S. Yes! We said Angry Birds!) What apps would you love to see on your NOOK Color?""

and just so you know its official this is the facebook account you get when you link from B&N main site.

Noob question here:

If the update brings full functioning flash does it mean that it can somehow be ported/extracted/etc into other android builds?
[Nook Color General] inferniac90:
If I understand you correctly you think flash will be brought into 2.1, but the firmware is probably gonna be updated to 2.2.
[Nook Color General] scratchfury:
It depends on how it's created. The Android build that the Nook uses is custom, so the apps created for it aren't always plug-and-play on other builds. The reader app is a good example as others have had problem trying to get it to work because it was written specially for the Nook and doesn't port well.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
So how did that update go yesterday? : P

Nook Update

I just watched the Nook Color event on TV on HSN. They are still claiming that HSN customers will get the update first. The blonde on the show said she also can't believe people are getting all of this for just $75!!! (Yeah, $75 times four payments!)

And, of course, they are saying that the original price of an NC is $504. What a bunch of liars.
[Nook Color General] Link3737:
TV shows like to use the loophole phrase "Valued at $XXX" to trick customers into thinking they're getting a great deal.

The retail price isn't $XXX, in this case $504, but they're saying that that's what they value the product to be worth.

It's just used to evade false advertisement laws in the U.S. and confuse consumers.
[Nook Color General] ADude:
You're joking right ?

You do not consider Official Announcement of everything that was rumored, to be a direct hit ?

The only thing the rumor had wrong is that it was Official Announcement, rather than the actual release. Android 2.2 plus Flash plus B&N App Store were all correct. Even my guess of "Angry Birds" was correct.

Last night on HSN, they even pinned it down to "Mid-April", although obviously any release date that is in the future can slip.
[Nook Color General] Admiralvic:
Odds are they're counting the included books. From what I read it has a 2 gb micro sd with "100 classic books". Most of these probably fall under public domain, and are free with kindle... but they can use to charge far more =P
[Nook Color General] planepilot:
I think they believe they can charge more for the software upgrade!
[Nook Color General] fpga_guy:
I read the Facebook page carefully. I didn't see Android 2.2 mentioned nor did I see Flash. I did read "Angry Birds, Drawing Pad, Lonely Planet Phrasebooks, and Wine PhD" but Flash was not explicitly mentioned.
[Nook Color General] bigbob23:
It may be here!

I booted my rooted Nook Color this morning and a few minutes later was somewhat astonished to see that it was downloading an update. As I already had 1.1, I am assuming that this is 2.2.

Unfortunately since my NC is rooted, things didn't go too well. After the download it rebooted and froze for a while on the Android animation. Later I could get to the screen where I slide the green dot to turn things on. I did so, but nothing happened!

After several tries I was able to get it to power down, but rebooting brought me to the same place. Fearing that nothing would work, I gave up and did a reset to the factory setting (1.0.0).

Hopefully it will try to install that upgrade again. I checked the B&N website and could only find the 1.1 upgrade available.

I guess I'll just have to be patient :confused:
[Nook Color General] fpga_guy:
The skeptics might be right. If you take a look at http://nookdeveloper.zendesk.com/en...rsion-of-android-is-supported-for-development

"What version of Android is supported for development?

Simon Walker posted this on Apr-06 18:43

Your application should be optimized for Google Android SDK Platform 2.1 API 7"

BN is pushing development on 2.1 as of Apr-06. Does this make sense if the update is 2.2?

Also if you listen carefully to the HSN video talking about flash, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMK2xkQZdnw 1 minute 35 seconds into the ad, a person was introduced talking about Flash, mid-April, etc.. That person was introduced as “I have Aaron Burger here”… There was no mention that he was from BN. My guess was that he was the geek guy for HSN. If he was from BN, you could bet that HSN would have made that point big time.

My guess is that the upcoming update is 2.1 with the BN app store.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexluckett:
Hi there,

Is it possible to get the new Sense 2.1 app draw (as show on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW7Hl_RFvUA) on the Dersire HD? I did a search but couldn't find anything. Or perhaps, does anybody know if it will be included in the gingerbread update instead?

One of the only things I dislike about HTC Sense is the app drawer, I find it too cluttered. This would greatly help un-clutter it!

Thanks,

Alex

New app drawer is in the leaked gingerbread rom. Head over to the development section and look at the screens from the many gingerbread topics that popped up yesterday.

I noticed my SD card was getting quite clogged up with the all the backups ive done with titanium backup it was using 781MB so i deleted it all and backed up the apps again, everything appears to be working ok except 2 of my Gameloft HD games are again asking me to download additional data to run on my phone, seen as i don't have an unlimited data package ill have to wait until im in a free Wi-Fi area to do this, but i already downloaded this additional data twice for these 2 games so is this something to do with me deleting the Titanium Backups on my SD card or do all these HD games always require you to download additional data every so often?

[Nook Color General] Adanedhels:
Ok guys any help here would be very appreciated,

I am looking to test out a idea about getting some programs with more advanced security measures to work, specifically Spectral Souls/anything Hyperdevbox makes.

To do this I need a Nookie Froyo Framework.jar that does not have the Market ID spoof built into it.

The reason this is something I want to test is that Hyperdevbox uses a security check that notes the Market ID used to download a program from the market and then checks the current ID when the program starts later.

As I understand it and I may be wrong so please correct me if I am. The Froyo ID spoof doesn't save the it gives out and simply gives out a new ID at each request.

This means that any dev like Hyperdevbox that uses IDs to copy protect will have their programs be unplayable on Nookie Froyo. The devs did respond and tell me that if the ID returns null the program switches to recording the MAC address and using that for copy protection. I want to try this out and need help to do it as I am a tester not a programmer. I know how to replace my Framework.jar, BUT I don't have the needed file, and I don't know if I need to do any wiping i.e. data from the Market etc?

Please if a kind dev could help here I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Adan

HI! So, i got an galaxy 3 (kinda obvious) i5800, rooted on stock 2.1 eclair. I've enabled ad-hoc networks but when i use internet browser bigger pages won't load and if they do load if i press anyhing, like im on xda-home and i want to go to xda-forums the adress changes and nothing happens, the page won't load. This ad-hoc network works fine on iPhone, and on regular Wi-Fi the pages load normally. All the apps that use internet work fine on this ad-hoc but internet browser fails. I tried different wpa-supplicant files and different browsers (opera,dolphin) and the problem persists.So how can i get it working? Thanks for help!

YAY Villain! CONGRATS for the awesome work you do and sorry you've been busy but as always it's greatly appreciated!

man this thing is huuuuuge. 176 megs? yummy.

EDIT (again):

Can confirm this is working nicely! My HTC launcher (bottom bar on the home screen) was compressed and looked all funky (looked like the images weren't aligned correctly) but is back to normal after a reboot. Woohoo!

EDIT (bug):

_ - the question mark button on the hardware keyboard does not work

Fastboot is for when flashing the recovery, if you already have CWM 3.0 you can skip that part and just flash the rom.

Hello guys!

I don't know what to do anymore...

I used to have wm6.5 Hyperdroid1.7(sd) dualboot, but it began to freeze very often to the point where i could't boot it anymore. Since I had hspl2.08 allready installed, I decided to give the relatively new TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 v2.5.2

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=933951)

a try.

Long story short, I had lots of problems with the connection but finally made it to

task29: done (used doloops exe)

radio: 2.15.50.14 done

magldr: 1.13 done

ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3 135M System/44M Cache:

installed with DAF.exe

but when I selected 'AD recovery' in magldr it came up with the

1FATAL HIT 1 error. (worked one time when I left the battery out for 25 min, but never again)

So I decided to do everything over again, task29 etc ....

Some problems occured where I had to plug out the phone because it got

stuck in flashing process of task29/radio/magldr.

And now, nothing works, I can flash radio and magldr, but it does'n seem to affect anything. When I boot I just see just the white htc screen.

Tried to flash stock HTC-wm6.5-rom (with both bootloaders) but it gets stuck @ 8% and gives the wrong comand error.

So please help me, 2 days without a phone (so far ...)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tachi91:
U UNPLUGGED IT!

Try a task29 .. just a task29 with a compatible radio

Once its done go into the bootloader.. if you get this far flash MAGLDR

If and once MAGLDR boots up then your good to go with Android NAND/SD or WP7
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thedangeroiusd:
Okay,

I task29'ed it with the 2.15... radio and it seemed to work again.

But I flashed with a nand android and when I booted again:

Booting Android from NAND

ANDROID LOAD at numbers

yaffs2 part is /boot

Load zImage

Load initrd.gz

[K] .. numbers

Load done!

1EFATAL HIT 1

*stuck*

may be relevant:

when I flashed the android it did not reboot automatically.

so i pressed the red reset button on the back.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tachi91:
That's an android nand issue..prob kernel related... since you used the DFT android flasher it should've restarted... either try again with the same rom or different rom OR use clockwork recovery... i personally use CWM recovery.. since it has more options like installing from zip and backup/restore entire nand build to the sdcard

also note magldr mass storage .. some people say it corrupts transfer so to safe use card reader just incase when transfering
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] akapaul26:
Ok lets try this Remove your SD card Save only necessary files that you need to your computer. Next Format the SD card leave it out.

I would erase the task 29 and MAGLDR and partition and ROM files from your computer and reinstall (possible file corruption)

Do a Task 29

Install MAGLDR 1.13

Once you install MAGLDR let phone reboot and hold power button to boot into MAGLDR

Choose option 5 and load your partition

Next reboot into MAGLDR again and got to option 8 you will want to find wipe data/factory reset and also wipe dalvik cache.

Now if you are flashing via CWM you should have the build on the SD card so now is the time to put SD card back in and reboot into MAGLDR you can then flash the rom. If you are flashing DFT put card back in reboot phone and enter bootloader and flash DFT.

Hope you get it working please read carefully...pm if you are really stuck.

The ONLY thing you are going to flash via MAGLDR option five is your partition...Did you flash the radio via MAGLDR if so that may be your problem?

If that dont work try this:

Try and use a task29 tool provided here http://xdaforums.com/show...3&postcount=19 . Extract it and run it properly ( with phone in bootloader mode ) and perform the task 29. Then flash a radio version which you can find it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787 . ( I suggest 2.15 )

My suggestion is to go to bootloader-tricoloured screen ( NOT Magldr ). Flash a good radio version and afterwards go back to tricoloured screen of the bootloader in order to flash a Windows Mobile ROM ( preferably a STOCK one ). Forget about NAND ROMs until you will be sure what your problem is.
