I wrote this up a while back, and oddly enough, have posted it 3 times tonight, might as well do it 1 more time:

Flash to Stock JF6:

1.	Download Odin One Click from: http://www.mediafire.com/?0w2y31maz8mdom4

2.	Download your Windows Drivers(if you havent already) from:

Windows 64bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?3dh4d6up72me9re

Windows 32bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?0b45zo7o75rc5d5

3.	Make sure your USB cable is connected directly to the back of your computer, not a USB hub or to a front connection and all of your drivers have been properly installed

4.	Do not connect your USB cable yet.

5.	On your phone, go to ; Settings/Applications/Development/and check “USB Debugging”

6.	Turn your phone off

7.	Remove your SIM card and Micro SD if you have one

8.	Open Odin One Click

9.	On your phone, press and hold the Volume up and the Volume down buttons. Do not touch the power button. If you have a ROM that supports a extended power menu, just press and hold the power button until the extended power menu comes up

10.	While holding them, or after you select DOWNLOAD mode, insert your USB cable, wait for a couple of seconds and a yellow triangle with the Android figure will show up

11.	You’ll see in Odin, that your phone has been discovered

12.	Press “Start”

13.	***VERY IMPORTANT*** Do Not mess with your phone at all. If you lose your USB connection, you could brick your device, and will possibly have to make a jig

14.	When it is done, your phone will reboot and Odin will display “Removed”

15.	Unplug your USB cable from your phone

16.	If you are proceeding to Master clear, you must close Odin BEFORE Master Clear

Master Clear:

1.	Ensure you have backed up all of your information onto your Micro SD or your desktop BEFORE doing this. IT WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR INTERNAL SD!!

2.	Make sure to remove your SIM and Micro SD if you have one

3.	With your USB cable disconnected from your phone, open Odin One Click

4.	On your phone, go to: Settings/Applications/Development/and check “USB Debugging”

5.	Connect your USB cable to your phone

6.	You’ll see in Odin, that your phone has been discovered

7.	Click “Master Clear”

8.	When the Master Clear has completed, your phone will reboot.

9.	The phone is now as it was when it came from the factory

EDIT: For root I use Galaxy One Click and if you want to sideload it Sideload Wonder Machine.

[General Questions and Answers] swrest:
Greetings:

I have 2 Captivates I converted 1 to T-Mobile but it will not get on the 3g network just edge. Any ideas? Have full signal.

My other Captivate will not convert to T-Mobile I am using the XDA app and same procedures.

All help appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
Because T-Mobile and AT&T have different 3G frequencies. I believe the T-Mobile Vibrant can do both T-Mobile and AT&T 3G though. Trade with someone if you can. The Vibrant does sideloading out of the box anyways.

I've been installing ROM's for the past couple of days, but today when I tried installing a custom splash image, I noticed that my bootloader screen displays S-On... is it possible to be rooted with S-on?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveG12543:
Sure is. Newer versions of Unrevoked S-OFF automatically, but the older ones didn't do it. If you want to be S-OFF, just flash the Unrevoked Forever thing on their site.

What is a good android phone with 2.2 or better that will allow my nook to connect to the internet. Any carrier it don't matter. Plus I want touch screen thanks in advance.
[Nook Color General] bray9188:
My evo works great.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Any of them with Froyo that hasn't been neutered.... If it has the stock Android Wifi Hotspot functionality, it will work fine as it is an infrastructure connection.

And regardless, making the NC connect adhoc isn't terribly difficult either.
[Nook Color General] KidJoe:
works fine with my HTC Incredible and Droid X on Verizon... Just put these phones into 3G Hotspot mode, and the NC connects to them just like your home router..

NOTE: Verizon charges extra for the mobile hotspot feature. You can add/remove at any time and the charges will be pro-rated (works out to be a $1 or 2 per day, but watch how much data you use as its pro-rated too). You can also HACK these phones (INC requires going into "hidden" service programming menu and making some changes, X requires root, CWM, and flashing a 3rd party ZIP) to get around paying, but use like that violates VZW's TOS, so use at your own risk.
[Nook Color General] 911jason:
My HTC Aria on AT&T works great as a mobile hotspot in regular infrastructure mode. AT&T just released the 2.2 upgrade, but I've been running 2.3 via CyanogenMod 7 for a couple months. Seamless experience, and the Aria can be found free with a new contract quite often. It's the Anti-Evo since it's probably the smallest Android phone around. It has a 3.2" screen (I think!). It runs at 600mhz, which may seem slow, but on a 320x480 res device, it's actually pretty darn snappy. I have no complaints and I rarely see any complaints about it at all.

[Nook Color General] 12paq:
I use my rooted Samsung Galaxy S. Vibrant from T- Mobile with the custom rom by Master called Axura. The rom is based off Froyo 2.2 and has many of the Galaxy S. international features and is much improved from stock (bias disclosure; I am part of the team). Turning the phone into a wifi hot spot is very easy (not adhock). I "tether" my Nook whenever I am away from wifi easily and reliably. As long as I have cell phone data, I'm good.

I have a had a custom rom on the device for so long I am not familiar with what the stock versions include to date. But it has to be easy and reliable on many other Android devices and set ups too.

Hack if all, I say. lol.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwrsrc:
I've been having a problem lately with my phone. It just restarts! It happens a lot when I'm using the desktop youtube site to watch videos and I try to change the position. If I use a different browser, it won't restart, it just crashes the browser.

Happened again today but while I was running and listening to music.

So far it's only happened like 3x today but I'm just wondering if thats the usual when you're running a custom rom.

Any ideas? I was thinking of trying to reinstall flash but I'm not sure if I should just dl that from the market or do I have to use a modified version b/c I'm using a custom rom.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garwel:
This might be related to the problematic Samsung App update. Since I updated it has suddenly locked up or suddenly re-booted in the middle of doing something else. Anyone have any ideas how to roll back the update?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterRy88:
Just curious...... did you guys change LCD density and/or are you using ADW Launcer. I am not running a custom rom but after rooting, changhing the LCD density and using ADW I get a random restart maybe once every other day.

[Fascinate General] thefunkbot:
thanks for helping
[Fascinate General] ellisz:
I am seeing the same thing. Installed SC 2.8 and then the voodoo kernel by itself. File conversion is not taking place. I even tried to disable voodoo and then re-enable. Nothing.

+1 I found out though from irc if u installed miui,at any point it will screw up voodoo
[Fascinate General] jereeder:
yeah, i had the same problem. flash SC 2.6v instead of 2.8v, since 2.8 doesn't seem to be working for voodoo conversions. once you've gotten 2.6 installed and you've heard the woman's voice telling you your file conversion happened successfully, then you can go to 2.8. that was my experience anyway...

I just got windows 7 pro(clean install on new hard drive) and when I went to plug my fascinate in(using stock cable) a dialog box that read USB Device Not Recognized and Device Drivers Not Installed. I unplugged my phone but the USB Device Not Recognized still keeps popping up. Reboot fixed that but still won't recognize it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Does anybody know of any other drivers for 7 that are 32 bit that might work? Thanks

Also I'm not rooted, stock ea28. If that helps at all. Again thanks.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Go to Samsung's support site (here) and then the software part on the download page. Download the drivers for the Fascinate and install them, and you should be good.

EDIT: or download here
[Fascinate General] Dueling Chainsaws:
I had an issue where the USB ports on the back of my motherboard would not recognize my fascinate. However, when I plug it into the USB ports in the front, it does. It might have to do with it being run through a different chip on the motherboard, (Or it could be my crappy Foxconn board.)

Thought there might be some folks over here that would be interested in this very noob-oriented write-up:

http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...color-now-what-aka-complete-idiots-guide.html

Especially since we should have a slew of new users heading our way after 11,000+ NC's were sold thanks to the eBay coupon. :)
[Nook Color General] Kayak83:
+1 on this type of thread. The development section of this forum has my head spinning.

Most people will start out with auto nooter. Then install and choose from a a few different launchers. Then maybe a new kernel. Then move up to a Froyo build. And eventually, Honeycomb. But the definite path to do things isn't very strait forward. I've been installing ROM's on my OG Droid since the Sholes days but I'm finding this NC stuff muddy at best.
[Nook Color General] hootyburra:
great write up OP. Wish I had this last night when I started messing with mine. I figured everything out through searching but did not make a backup. I have already tested out the dual boot roms, waiting on the C6 8gb card to get here to start playing with honeycomb.

sticky please

my first post. (i'm one of the $199 ebay lot)

This helped alot. i just wish i read this fully before autonooting.

i have no backups of my stock nook. I just assumed that i could get the flashable rom to go back to stock on xda

anyways i vote for sticky
[Nook Color General] KDOG2020:
Nice. I'm a complete noobie to the Nooks - just bought mine yesterday and did a basic root. Love it so far. Can't wait for some stable HC builds come out.
[Nook Color General] husky55:
@faceman66,

Thanks so much. I did not root nor did I do anything to the Nook Color since I am not sure about the tablet nor the e-reader. I got an Ipad for Xmas but returned it because it was kind of heavy and big and I want to do some spreadsheet work which requires either Excel or OpenOffice among other things.

Your tutorial about creating a bootable of the original ROM on a mSD was a great idea and is a must do item.

I created a mSD 8GB with Froyo and run the Nook off the mSD, so nothing on the Nook was impacted. so I thought, but I could be wrong.;)

Could you point out where I can find some help in the navigation of the Froyo version of android. There was no close button of the browser tabs, no forward nor backward buttons. There was some help file on the softkeys but no clear navigation of the file system.

I do not have an android phone so I am completely unfamiliar with android. I do want to learn android.
[Nook Color General] Jgrimoldy:
Faceman, thanks for taking the time to write such a comprehensive how-to! This will be incredibly valuable for many. Nice sense of humor too, btw.

I look forward to reading your "Barely smarter than idiot's guide to the CyanogenMod"
[Nook Color General] KDOG2020:
Hmmm. I did everything the article stated as far as the SoftKeys, but its not working like it said. Doesn't come up when I hit the physical home button nor does it have the volume buttons etc. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
[Nook Color General] lyam23:
Download Home Switcher from the market. Set SoftKeys as the default launcher.

Voila!
[Nook Color General] barrist:
You probably can. But i guess making an initial sd card back up is the easiest and handy to have around.
[Nook Color General] droiddoes69:
very thorough and complete. thanks!
[Nook Color General] bachviet:
You can push the files from this theme using ADB and it will give you back and menu softkeys on the status bar. However it will break your stock browser.

ADB push instructions
[Nook Color General] faceman66:
You're my target audience, thank you. Yes you can get a flashable Stock rom, it will put you at the start of the OOBE, which I found to be a hassle always having to "register" my NC when I wanted to start over. Which I did a lot since I am definitely a tinker-er. My suggestion just makes it quicker to start over - most folks won't use it at all.

A couple of things, once you root (if you do) there is a version of QuickOffice that someone ported from the Adam device which is awesome on the NC. Works almost like OpenOffice on the pc.

Running any rom from SD does not affect your internal eMMC (the internal system) but please pay attention to each SD Roms warnings - there are some actions you can do that WILL affect the internal. Such as formatting an SD from a rom running on an SD actually formats the /boot area of the internal giving you a "Aw crap, my nook won't boot past a black screen" issue which is fixable.

Since the NC lacks physical buttons, a program such as Softkeys or ButtonSavior (a major coke/pepsi flame war argument) are needed to add those buttons virtually. Many write-ups and threads available, just search them out.

Just to make sure, I think my softkeys might have updated from the one included with autonooter, but I am not sure. My version is 3.0.8, and that could be the cause of discrepancy. If someone can confirm, please let me know. I can tell you the key to sk working the way we want is to have Softkeys set as your 'default' launcher, then configure softkeys to be "one press softkeys, two press launcher" for the physical button.

While ADB may be over some folks head, it is VERY worthwhile to try to learn to use it. At least work on getting it installed and being able to successfully have it list you device - then it's always there as an option. But most things can be accomplished without it.

And thanks from me also !
[Nook Color General] ADude:
For this purpose...

Are there advantages - or disadvantages - of having the B&N Account email be the same email as the Gmail account ?

Are there advantages - or disadvantages - of having the Gmail account for the Android market be your main Gmail account where you receive most mail ?

Thanks !
[Nook Color General] time pilot aka:
I was one of those 11,000 new owners! Nookdevs.com has been my goto resource over the weekend. On Friday I started out with an SD-run build of Nookie Froyo and was mostly unimpressed so went back to stock and rooted. By Sunday I was pretty frustrated with B&N's crippled version of Android so I flashed the CM7 nightly v12 (which I've been suitable impressed with on my Milestone). Been very happy with that. Flash runs awesomely, I even got Hulu to work by spoofing my user-agent.

Hopefully video playback support matures by the end of the month. All of the video players I've tried so far (yxplayer, arcmedia, rock player, vplayer) have been awful and can't even play a 480p xvid from a class 4 SD without severe quality degradation or audio sync problems. I'd like to find <i>something</i> though, because I bought this with the intention to watch movies on during a 10 hour road-trip planned for April. But I'm patient. CM7 development is so rapid, I fully expect an experimental build, if not a stable one, to appear by April, and I'm certain video codec support will be better by then.

Wish I had seen this guide before I started my NC adventure this weekend, though. My install process probably could have gone from 8 different browser tabs down to one! A great resource there.
[Nook Color General] ADude:
From what I hear, video playback is best on Nookie Froyo. Did you try video playback when you had that running ?
[Nook Color General] Atahachi:
Great write-up! Would read again.
[Nook Color General] Nucking Futs!:
Great thread, thx!
[Nook Color General] faceman66:
Only advantage would be simplicity. No other advantage, no.

Yea, it was an exaggeration. :)

Hardware Video is high on the priority list I hear.

Thank you!
[Nook Color General] smdion:
Thanks for this write up as well. Is is possible to to restore my standard backups that I made with your FAQ when I swap over to the ext4 CWM?
[Nook Color General] time pilot aka:
Never tried it. Only used Nookie Froyo for about 30 minutes before going back to stock. I suppose as a last resort, if there's still bad video support by the time I need it, I can run an sd-only build of nookie from whatever microsd I've got my videos on. Good to know I've got options!
[Nook Color General] faceman66:
i am running cm7, and manually installed cwr 3006 way back, and have since updated to ROM Manager 3.0.1.2 with CWR of 3.0.1.0 and have been able to successfully restore a just-rooted 1.0.1 and then restore my cm7 backup. So I was able to go back and forth between the two no problem.
[Nook Color General] Azamatka:
Totally incredible!!! Really appreciate!
[Nook Color General] liqn7:
Are you going to update your guides to use CWR 3.0.1.0 then? :P

Your guides are still recommending the old CWR for CM7 flashing, and for doing backups on stock.
[Nook Color General] faceman66:
Because it wasn't until today that someone created a bootable version of CWRv3.0.1.0 - and now that it's available I will be updating. But not right away, I have a busy weekend and will not be able to edit until maybe Sunday.

But I will be updating. ;) Thanks for reading!
[Nook Color General] faceman66:
Planning to do an update to this article, anyone with suggestions before I dive into it?
[Nook Color General] waylo:
First, thanks for writing the intro to begin with.

One thing I think that would be a logical next step would be to go into what the different partitions on the eMMC are responsible for (http://nookdevs.com/Dump_NookColor_Partitions). And maybe some descriptions on ROMs that run solely on SDcards vs. eMMC ROMs.

That's one thing that's drastically different from Android phone ROMs I'm learning--the ability to run everything off a microSD card if desired.
[Nook Color General] xdabr:
Why the heck isn't this a sticky? It's currently several pages deep into the forum and I only found it because I was bored.

One thing I'm confused on is the various account setups. Why is it necessary to create the B&N account before rooting? Why do you need a Youtube account linked to your Google Account? Are any decisions I make now irrevocable later? (I haven't done anything yet but am leaning towards running NF on SD card and leaving the stock image alone.)
[Nook Color General] waylo:
These are great questions, would be nice to have them addressed in a FAQ manner.

I can answer the 3rd question, all changes you make can basically be reverted. I completely replaced the eMMC ROM to a froyo one, but you can easily flash back to the stock ROM if you choose.

One thing also is that if you intend to flash a complete ROM, replacing the internal eMMC, you don't need to mess with any of the registration/account process, since that ROM will completely replace the stock Nook ROM.
