There is a Boot partiton Flashable zip at the bottom of that post. Flash that and see what happens. it should restore you boot back to stock.
[Nook Color General] Oskiee:
Ha! i did the same thing and was about to post the same thing! Thanks.
[Nook Color General] mw_:
Sorry, when I said that I tried the stock 1.0.1, I actually meant that I tried the nook-complete-restore-1.0.1.zip as you suggest. As hopeful as I was when I saw it adding boot files, it didn't seem to help. Maybe I missed something though, so I'll try it again...

Update: ah, sorry. I fail. I didn't see the repartition boot part. Let me try that.

Update #2: The "repartition boot" link (at the very bottom of that post, as you said) worked! Thanks very much. God, I love this nook. I can't tell you how many times I've thought that I had destroyed this thing when I didn't. It's indestructible! :)
[Nook Color General] dalamchops:
i've formatted the boot and i was able to get back to stock using that method.
[Nook Color General] will2live:
Same thing just happen to me also the other day. for some reason something gets jacked with the CM7 build when you go to reboot, weird part is it does not always happen tho. And I've yet to figure out what is causing it. As mentioned tho flashing the repartition boot file from the link posted above does at least correct the /boot partition so the devices powers on again unlike when you first try and all you get is a blank screen.
[General Questions and Answers] saman0suke1:
Hi, I have a problem, I recently got a 3G Data plan for my phone Motorola Defy MB525, but I cannot get 3g to work properly, only EDGE, I setup the Access Bridge(I guess that's the name) but the connection it's really slow and it's only EDGE (I get the E symbol on the upper part) I was talking with the guy that sold me the phone (I'm on El Salvador, Central America) and he told me that the problem is that according to some info on the web:

3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100

HSDPA is 900/2100 while the connection that I got it's 850 so that's the problem, is this true? there is no 850 HDSPA connection on this phone? is there any way to flash it in order to get it? I'm really confused since this is the first time that I get a 3G phone, thanks in advanced, have a nice day!

I just did my first flash - before I did it i backed up all my apps and data to my external SD card using titanium backup pro - i just reinstalled it - how do I get my apps back ? (i am rooted with busy box)

I tried batch but it didn't search my external SD card -- how do I get it to search there ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkMyk:
the default backup directory is at /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup which is the SD Card not the External SD

If your backup files is on a different folder try to rename it to the default location or change the Backup Folder Name on TTB's settings.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gstreff:
I have not yet updated my Captivate to 2.2. Reading posts in regard to the update I am very bothered by a common complaint that battery life has just died. My Captivate has excellent battery life using it fairly heavily over a 1 day period. I charge it every nite. Also, my GPS is workng fine in 2.1. So am considering not updating it due to the problems I am hearing about.

Anyone else have input on battery life after the update??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnackCracker:
I went from STOCK 2.1 to Cognition 4.1 (built on Froyo 2.2) and my battery life is about the same. My usage varies wildly from day to day, but as best as I can tell, overall battery consumption is about equal.

I wonder if the people complaining about battery life have set up their phone "post-update" with different apps or turned on "apps syncing background data"...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pparavas:
Battery life did reduce on 2.2 but it is obvious in my point of view. But its not too bad either.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lyrad12:
it's about the same, i upgraded to stock 2.2, feel no difference on the battery life. moderate usage last mine for about more than 24 hrs, u should update to froyo for you to experience it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrddin201:
I upgraded Stock 2.2 end of Feb and noticed a big drop in my battery life the first week. But just reading above, i did turn on "apps syncing background data" so i think that's my problem. Just turned that off so we shall see...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
Let your phone go through a week or so recharging cycle before judging its battery life after a ROM flashing. You just lost all your battery stats when flash a new ROM. Your phone/OS has no clue how your battery will operate until it has time to learn or you manually calibrate it.

For what it is worth, my battery life is about the same or slightly better than leaked 2.2 ROM as well as 2.1 ROM. No big changes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sola fide:
My battery has been about the same since the 2.2 upgrade. At first it felt like my battery was draining quicker but I also noticed I was playing with more phone more. The screen is the biggest power drain on the phone so just playing with menus and looking at new settings can cause a small dent.

Give it a week or two after upgrading and you'll notice it'll be about the same. Unless of course you have more accounts or programs syncing data in the background.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gstreff:
Why upgrade to 2.2

Thanks everyone for the input. The more I read and hear the more I am leaning toward not upgrading to 2.2. On different forums I am seeing and hearing problems with battery life and some saying about the same battery life. Also, seeing GPS not being fixed or going from working ok or good to not working so good. Right now my phone does everything I want, GPS works really good, email works fine, internet works fine, battery life is outstanding, mp3 works great, screens all are clean and to my liking, I have an easy work around for turning off 3G and one tap returning my volumes to normal after using a USSD code.

REally cannot see any advantage to upgrading and risking introducing a problem I don't need. The list of new features really does not thrill me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
2.2 ROM is a big step forward, not backward, IMO. Sure it didn't solve GPS issue but it is not making it worse either. GPS issue is purely hardware issue. If you have a good one, it doesn't matter which stock firmware you use.

I just can't see any disadvantage for upgrading (other than slightly more difficult to root or unlock, but not impossible). Battery life thing is as I mentioned above. You will see all kinds of complaints (either dain too fast or too slow) after a new firmware comes out, any firmware. You don't know what you're missing until you upgraded.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-mart Shopper:
I noticed a big improvement in battery life. Sometimes with light use it will last up to four days, whereas before with 2.1 it would putter out after maybe two days.

GPS isn't fixed, but drop one of many GPS fixes in and it will get somewhat normal performance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcianoS:
Wifi sleep policy

You may also want to check the Wifi sleep policy after the upgrade to Froyo. In my case, the default was "Never sleep". Changing this to "When screen turns off" improves battery life on 2.2, as it does on 2.1.

Just my $.02 worth.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahfry:
I'm on stock 2.2 since the day it came out. My battery life is actually trending worse day-by-day. I did a full battery clear/reset this weekend and after 4 days I'm finding battery life is not improving at all. The degradation from stock 2.1 is significantly noticeable to me.

For the first couple of days post-update it seemed actually to be better, but got worse and worse, to where I was lucky to find the phone working 12 hours after disconnecting from the charger @ 100% ... even if I hadn't -touched- the phone during the day. My applications loaded are virtually identical to before.

I did have Background Data on, so I've just disabled it, but was this option not in 2.1? I know that Google Voice, etc, were doing background syncs in 2.1.

It can't be WiFi, as for the last 2-3 days I've kept WiFi turned off. However just for sanity I did adjust the sleep policy.

I'm wondering ... my battery woes seemed to start when I hooked up my Microcell. Could having a strong 3G signal so close to the phone actually be causing problems?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
it is the same as in 2.1.

That might be your problem. I don't know. I know 2.1 doesn't work very well with microcell either.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahfry:
Yep. I'm pretty convinced it is the microcell now. Phone works great with it from a call/data/signal standpoint. However after unplugging my microcell last night, charging my phone to 100%, and then letting the phone discharge normally with no microcell ... I'm now 10 hours later and have an almost full battery.

Sad, because our reception here is so spotty that we lose calls and data regularly without the microcell. My wife says her phone charge has been pretty normal, so I'm getting ready to move the cell away from my desk and see if distance helps the story.

So, as far as this thread is concerned, my results for 2.2 and battery life are great ... better than with 2.1 ... just don't use it with a microcell.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liv33viL:
Froyao 2.2 Battery Usage Dillema

I see no significant or excess battery drain while riding the KB1 over the JF6.

Just a thought for those experiencing excessive or significant battery drain. KB1 loads some new features and new additional bloatware that loads on boot and runs as a service, process and both.

If you're familiar with poking around your system settings and understand what doesn't need to always be running in the background, or what doesn't need to load on boot, you can simply kill the process and even alter the way a certain application handles on boot.

By killing many unneeded or unwanted processes at boot time, it will significantly save you hours upon hours of battery life in the longer scheme.

Another FYI, Lithium Ion batteries have memory. You need to train or retrain the batteries memory over time in order to sustain a longer life for it.

Tips:

Don't continually through the charger on your device after minimal drainage. Let the battery run down before fully recharging it again.

When flashing to another ROM wipe your battery stats.

When flashing any new code to your device - a few forced charge deaths to purge the battery and reset the memory again prior to recharging may be a good idea...

Hope this helps...

Peace-

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
So I bricked my Vibrant and just got a new one as a warranty exchange, yay, good for me. I've gone about the whole rooting and flashing to Simply Honey that I ported over from I9000. In doing so I found that call recording works perfectly whereas it did not on my old phone. Others are not having success getting it to work either. My question is are there certain things on our phones, in all the lines of script and programming, that remain even after using Odin or flashing different roms? If so would it be possible to find the differences between the stock KA6 that my new phone came with and the KA6 that came as an update.

I only ask because I am not a developer, merely a guy who swapped a few files around to get a working I9000 rom that I liked and I'm not deeply familiar with all the files in Android like some of you are. Anyone wants to chime in maybe we as a community can figure this out for those that want that feature.

[Nook Color General] loupnook:
Have a rooted dual boot. Original is primary and if I hold down the home key i get Honeycomb (not overclocked because that rom didn't work for me).

The (multi)u-boot... splash screen hangs out for about 2 to 3 minutes before either going into the original rom or Android HC.

Is this normal? Is there a way to speed that up?
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
If this is a repeat thread, I apologize but I'm not having any luck finding this specific issue.

Since using EB01 I've noticed my signal bars going frequently from 2-3 bars down to 1-0 bars, yet checking the signal strength in the About Phone>Status section it is consistently in the -80s, which is relatively good signal.

After a while I started noticing that if my 3G icon was showing up and/or down activity, it would show only 1 or 0 bars, yet when it switched to "D" (meaning dormant), it would shoot back up to 2-3 bars, until data started flowing again then it would go back to 0-1 bars.

As I started troubleshooting this, I was using the Speedtest.net app to check my download speeds. When data was showing that low, it would either time out or would give very low speeds (in the 100k's both up & down). Sometimes it would go up to the 200-300k's.

Now here's what I don't understand: if I turn off my data connection, then turn it back on, my data connection goes back up to 2-3 bars again, and download tests go back to the 600k-1mbps speeds again. So it's like it's losing data reception until a fresh connection is made.

I've tried both some of the Superclean ROMs including the latest 2.8. I've been using the EB01 voodoo kernel. I also recall when I was running the EA28 OTA update before rooting that it was happening as well. Right now I'm back to the stock debloated deodexed ROM with the same voodoo kernel and switched to the DL09 baseband radio and had this happen.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Does anyone recommend a certain ROM/kernel/baseband combination to see if it will help?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
[Fascinate General] Dread This Day:
You know, I never really paid it too much mind, but I MIGHT have a similar situation. Though, I don't have to reset the connection, it just up and down drastically a lot. I will look into this myself, see if I can find anything to help you.
[Fascinate General] spodg:
Yup. I had this problem too. I had a phone that initially came with DH rom. After I flashed EB01 modem and rom, I was missing 3G for 30 seconds after I wake the phone up. Practically the same symptoms: bad battery life, low up/down 3G speeds (I had ~100Kb/s max). I tried to flash different modems DI, DJ, DL, EB, tried different non-voodoo kernels, different roms, nothing helped. Even ODIN back to full stock DI01 did not solve the problem.

Solved with getting a replacement phone. After I got a replacement with EA28, I got double battery life and great up/down speeds. So right now I am wondering: should I risk my phone to flash leaked EB01 again?

[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
If this is something that's important for you, perhaps you might try some light solvent (IF the metal body is in fact not painted, which it doesn't appear to be).

The logo is silk-screened on with some kind of ink/paint, it's not etched, so it would probably come off with a little help.

If I wanted to do it, I'd try rubbing alcohol and a qtip first. Might take awhile longer than trying to scrape it off, but it would be the least risky way.

Running metal against metal has an abrasive effect, whether these penny-rubbing people can perceive it or not. Just a fact.

[HTC Inspire 4G] egyan:
I have tried 100% ethanol and 100% acetone with no luck, you will just end up cleaning your phone. You will need some sort of gentle abrasive to get it off. I might even suggest Brasso as it is a solvent and mild abrasive in one, but don't blame me if you mess up your finish.

I was going to recommend the same thing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Twenty4:
An old trick with the HTC Tytn and TytnII (Kaiser/Tilt) was to use a sugar cube.

The sugar was tougher than the paint but softer than the metal so it did not scratch.

Might be worth a shot.

[HTC Inspire 4G] hitekredneck:
If you know anyone that works in a machine shop, ask them for a little bit of clover brand lapping compound. Use a soft pencil eraser, put a small amount of the compound on the pencil eraser and use light pressure and a circular motion to try and erase the logo. Start off with very light pressure, then increase if you see it is having no effect, but too much pressure will end up leaving swirl marks in the finish, which may or may not be removed with a good quality automobile rubbing compound and a soft cloth.

You could also try the auto rubbing compound with the pencil eraser first and see how that does.

Also, the lightest abrasive I can think of would be baking soda. Wet your eraser and dip it in the arm and hammer, then use the same method as above with very light pressure to begin with.

Just remember, this is aluminum that you are dealing with, and it has a chemical treatment applied to it to give it the color from the factory. The treatment, I am pretty sure, is very similar to the same stuff that firearms manufacturers use when adding the color effect to any aluminum parts on a gun. So even if you do go a bit too far you can most likely re-treat any shiny spots with the same stuff yourself. You can most likely purchase it from a local sporting goods store if you have one close by. Or a gunsmith if there is one in your locale.

Just a couple of ideas ...... HTR

[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
If acetone doesnt take it off, nothing will? that is incorrect. Laquer thinner will but might remove the coating on the metal. I would either try goof off with a soft cloth and just keep rubbing it, or even safer try a car polish, and rub that in with a rubbing pad, car polish has real fine grit even more fine then a rubbing compound. It should take it off but will require a little bit of rubbing or use the polish with like a dremel buffing pad or a buffing pad on a drill. I would try that first but im pretty sure goof off will take it off.
