Here's the story. I lost my old stock eris and now have my little brother's which he has modded with froyo. I am trying to activate it but can't because when I try to make the *228 call it won't allow me to access the keypad. I had a very nice guy at the verizon store try and he tried everything (and more) than he was allowed to do to help me. A factory reset on the phone (holding down the volume down button and send) fails. So at this point I figure I have to install a factory rom that updates. I have to return my droid eris to stock and I need some help from you guys. I found pretty good instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=792026

However, I have no idea what Amon_RA is or how to get it and reading over it I don't think that's explained in the post. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] gpotteiger427:
So I guess what I'm asking is where do I get Amon_RA 1.6.2 that is referenced in the post and how do I install it. I need an SDK or something too. AGH this is so frustrating not having a phone must be worse than any other sort of withdrawal. I'm ready to pull my hair out. If someone could explain to me exactly what to do that would be awesome.

Hey, I am not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but I just purchased and installed App Mod: http://www.appbrain.com/app/anim-mod-*root*/com.jrummy.animation.changer and it is AWESOME! I am running ACS Frozen and it is working great!

When I first installed it and tried to change a transition, it prompted me to install busy box (which I thought I already had :confused: ) I did the recommended install and it shut my phone off. I thought there was a problem and that I would have to restore from backup...but when I turned the phone back on...everything was fine. It worked like a charm!

:p

EDIT: **** After about 2 hours of use, the phone shut off and when it rebooted, it was unusable! All apps force closed...had to do a factory reset! Damn....oh well...
[Epic 4G Themes] hotwired34:
Alright, so the first install and crash seems to have been an isolated incident. I flashed ACS Frozen 1.0.2 and installed it right after. I downloaded and applied the flip transition and it has been working fine. It has been only about 13 hours or so, but so far, no problems. I will report back in a few days to let you know how it's working.
[Epic 4G Themes] hotwired34:
It's been 3 days now and still no problems. I think the initial crash was unrelated. I have read many posts about people having issues with all apps force closing after an unplanned reboot when the fs has jounaling turned off. I am not entirely sure, but I think this might have been my issue.

If you are looking to spice up your transitions, I would totally recommend this app.

Thanks.

I looked into this app and really like the concept but after looking around in my launcher Go Launcher EX I found it had the animation effects built in for free.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agroberman:
Hi all,

I have a rooted Rogers Captivate running stock Rogers 2.2 with OCLF. The other day I installed busybox and anim mod, and today I decided to change my transitions with anim mod.

After applying the change, it asked me to restart my phone. I clicked yes, and it hung for a moment before showing a force close screen. However, before I could do anything, it reset, but after the logos and startup animation, it vibrated and went to black. The soft keys still light up, but no buttons including holding down power have any effect.

After pulling out the battery, I discovered I could still get to recovery console (and I'm fairly certain I could get into download mode as well), but my main concern is getting to / backing up my contacts.

Your help would be enormously appreciated!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
1. Check the files that are present in the theme u installed - typically the files under the system folders

2. Ask ur ROM developer to package these files (from original ROM) into a CWM flashable zip file (assuming u do not know how to do this)

3. Push this to ur phone using adb and install it on ur phone

Next time on, when installing any theme not made 'specifically' for ur ROM, refrain from doing so. In case you are in a mood to experiment, it would recommended to take a nandroid backup in case issues like this come up.

Since u say urs is stock, u could package these files from ur stock zip. For this u'd have to find a Roger's stock zip file, and u should be able to find an empty update.zip to package these files into (attaching template update.zip to this post; open in winrar).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agroberman:
Thank you very much for helping me with this diablo, I really got myself into a mess and I appreciate your help trying to get me out of it.

I'm not running any themes on top of Rogers 2.2, it's pure stock. I don't have CWM on my phone, nor have I used ADB before. Also, I'm not sure where or how I'd get the stock zip, I did download your template but I don't know how to fill it with what I need.

Thanks again,

Alex

Oh, and if you give me a donate button or paypal account, I'd be happy to show my gratitude.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:

Alex, try searching for Rogers stock ROM. U should be able to find it on these forums.

II

Meanwhile, try posting a thread to ask people here who may be on Rogers stock to zip up their /system/framework folder.

Asking for /system/app zip would not be a good idea since it would contain paid apps too. So alternately,

1. Open the theme zip that u put on ur phone

2. Navigate to /system/app folder

3. List down the apps u see there

4. Ask for anyone who's on stock rogers if they can zip up these files for u.

III

Next, considering u have the apps and the contents of /system/framework:

1. Open the file I sent u in 'winrar'

2. Navigate to system/app folder

3. Drop the apps u got from 'whoever-helped-u' into this folder

4. Navigate to system/framework folder

5. Drop the files in system/framework from 'whoever-helped-u' into this folder

6. Close winrar and rename to update.zip

IV

7. Put this file on ur SD card root

8. Boot into recovery

9. Select 'apply update.zip' (not sure of exact wording)

10. Reboot

Also, what is the theme u downloaded?

I put the steps in blocks so it would be easy to trouble shoot in case u run into any issues.

All the best Alex.

[Q] Phone won't get past boot screen, please help

Thank you again, Diablo, lunch is on me today.

I don't have any themes installed, this is the program that created the trouble for me, which I download from the Android Market:

http://www.androidblip.com/android-themes/anim-mod-root-136113.html

I clicked on the "fly in & flip" selection.

I will make a post requesting a stock rogers 2.2 zip of their /system/framework folder.

Is there anything else I'm missing, and once I get the /system/framework get it into the update.zip, how do I get it onto my SD card root, or do I just put it on the root of an external SD card?

-Alex
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Oh wow. Never thought u'd put in so much. Incidentally u happen to be the first person!!!

I see its a paid app, so can't say whats in it. But since its into animations and stuff, most likely it messed up some files in ur framework folder. Send me the update.zip file after u update so I can cross check before u can flash it on ur phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agroberman:
Hi Diablo,

I wrote a new post at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=997233

Am I asking for the right thing?

Also, on the app page it says "Anim Mod changes the system framework files without touching your theme so if you constantly switch from ROM to ROM you can always get the animation you prefer the best."

Does this make anything simpler?

Thanks again for continuing to help me,

Alex
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Yes. It says it changes files. I would NOT recommend any such app that changes framework files with/without knowledge, unless, there is a way backup plan at hand to revert to stock.

I normally take a nandroid backup of my ROM before playing with things like this, so in case things mess up, atleast there is a working copy of ROM.

Secondly, since u said u need contacts, I would recommend the following:

1. Install titanium backup (TiBu in short)

2. Backup "Contacts Storage"

3. Copy this folder "Titanium Backup" from sdcard to a safe location (e.g., ur computer)

This would backup ur contacts. So in case u mess up with something, u can always copy this folder to ur sdcard and restore using TiBu.

U can also backup all

user apps and data

so u can restore all ur apps and data in these kinds of situations. But do

NOT

backup or try to restore any system data except the one contacts storage I mentioned above.

Also, be warned, contacts data cannot be moved this way between different versions of ROM like 2.1 and 2.2. But u can move between 2.2 and 2.2.1. I was also able to restore this data on 2.3.3 gingerbread.

Personally, I now use "Sprite Backup" to backup and restore my data.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agroberman:
Thanks for your effort yesterday Diablo. I decided to odin flash the stock rogers 2.1, repartition, and upgraded to 2.2 via kies. I lost my contacts, but couldn't go any longer without the phone. I'm gonna back everything up right now!

-Alex
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Sorry to hear that Alex. This time make sure u backup "Contacts Storage" in Tibu when u r on 2.2.

Else use Sprite Backup or anything similar to help backup.

the YouTube app or even develop a new one that can gain full access to the website (no more unavailable on mobile devices ) and the ability to turn off the screen while listening to normal music videos (no music stopping ).

I find it annoying to have the screen on while just listening to a normal song which mainly display still pictures

sorry to burst their bubble, but android market can easily do that, and we do also have apps that can create on screen barcodes on demand and they are all free.

payment via barcode scanner can also be archived by porting the app, any financial institution that vouched to have that app created for the iphone, can also authorize an android version of the same app

unless apple forced them into an exclusive deal

in which case, we can easily convince PayPal or Google checkout to release such an App for payment via barcodes

there is no way these 2 giants will lose to small flies financial institution with an apple only app :p

[Nook Color General] marcillus:
hi!

bought this NC for my wife last December. For 3 months it was working fine, didnt root it and it was running on 1.0.

The other night, she told me that it wouldnt turn on, so I researched and found the power button + n combination. I charged the NC first and when it became green, I removed it from the charger and performed the power +n combination.

It turned on, Hoorah!

But this afternoon, my wife told me that the browser was taking too long to load. When I had a look, the screen was unresponsive and it was frozen already.

So I turned it off using the power button. When I attempted to turn it on again, I wouldnt anymore. Tried the power+volume+ and n combination, none.

Tried the 8 boots, by holding it at least 20 secs, none.

downloaded and installed the rootpack_X.tar.gz, burned it to an SD, pressed the power button, none.

tried pressing all the buttons but still none.

There is no power, black screen, nothing, zero, dead.

problem is I cant bring it to BN because I'm outside of the US.

I'm exhausted. Appreciate any suggestion, including throwing the NC to the wall :-(
[Nook Color General] marcillus:
Update

Charging it again... anxiously waiting for it to turn green. Will try to boot with an SD inside.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
You using something other than a stock ROM? If so, your /boot is probably corrupted or formatted.

Did you format "SD Card" from the settings? On Nookie Froyo, Honeycomb, and CM7 (at least older versions) that would actually format /boot not the SD card.
[Nook Color General] jvillejoe:

[Nook Color General] jvillejoe:
Here's a link to the thread I started. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=996439 If you don't mind maybe if you could read through it and tell me if your having the same problem. This nc is also stock and never been updated like you and mine was also bought in dec.
[Nook Color General] marcillus:
losing hope

@jvillejoe

mine is totally blank, the screen is black, nothing. no red battery screen

when you charge it, after a while the light will turn green meaning the device is fully charged. when you press the power button for 1-3 seconds, no reaction.

@khaytsus

nope this is the stock ROM, i tried downloading and installing 128mb_rootpack-0.7.tar, but if you cant turn the NC on, i dont think it will boot.

what's bad is that you can't open it. disaster

thanks for your help guys...
[Nook Color General] hittingsmoke:
It won't boot from the SD card either?

It sounds like what happened to mine. I ended up returning it. I couldn't pinpoint the problem because I had already rooted it and flashed a couple of different custom ROMs by that point but it stopped booting even from an SD card.

Luckily I could get it to boot up one out of every thirty tries or so for a few minutes so I managed to return it to stock before I returned it to the store.

Question, if you plug it into the PC then hold down the power button for ~30 seconds, does your PC make the "device connected" noise then immediately make the disconnect noise?
[Nook Color General] jvillejoe:
Oh ok so seems like your problem is not the same as mine. Just wanted to tell you another guy that posted on my thread said he opened his nook up and pulled the battery. Just a thought but if you have a stock NC then you might want to take it back to B&N or what ever place you bought it from.
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
My bro-in-law had this problem today, but we were able to get it back on. It's weird, almost like it thinks there is something wrong with the battery, at least that's what it feels like to me. I told him if it happens even one more time to take it back...his is rooted and CM7 on it. When we got it back on there was no problems. Gonna mess with it a little for him to make sure it doesn't happen again.
[Nook Color General] human0metronome:
How did you place the rootpack on the SD CARD? Did you unzip it and burn the image or did you just drag and drop it?

My nook is dead

Okay, i installed cyanogen 7. i didn't like it so i wanted to reboot clockwork recovery, but my ook would just go directly to cyanogen 7 without getting to clockwork recovery menu. I finally just to deal with it another time.

I left it in the power outlet and I noticed for the very first time it didn't turn green.

Anyway, when i disconnected it from power cord, it would not even turn on anymore.

When I connect via usb to my pc, it recognizes the omap processor in other devices for a second before win 7 stops recognizing and it disappears from other devices.

What is going on? it's blank as it wont turn on.

please help!
[Nook Color General] sevendigts:
If you have a SD card in the Nook try removing it and then try turning on the device. I bought a nook Friday and ran in to a similar issue. The device would not power up regardless of how long I held the power button. Once I removed the SD card it turned on ok.
[Nook Color General] migrax:
Can we assume from this that you no longer have the NC unit? If you do, connect it to your computer and see if it turns on. I had this issue but using the cable to connect it to my computer caused the unit to turn on, and never had any problems after that.

[Nook Color General] marcillus:
After opening it and disconnecting the batteries, power and volume buttons,

I made sure that the display connection was secure by pressing down on it.

After that I connected again but still dead nook...

I hope someone from BN can read this and make a suggestion on how to fix this.

While I had second thoughts buying an NC, what made me decide was the fact that BN is a good company and I was pretty sure this device went through QC.

I guess I just ended up with a lemon...

Still open to ideas though :-)

any way to share with the other kids in class? =P
[Epic 4G Themes] husher:
i broke down and bought root explorer and did what they said. there is a toggle in root explorer that does R/O and R/W and if you long press a file (like .zip or .apk) permissions will be in the sub menu select it (permissions isn't in the free version) there is a 3x3 grid of check boxes and most of them are selected, select them all. then long press the item and select move.

the boot zip goes to system/media paste it asks if you're sure say yes, if it says it's read only toggle that little button on the right hand corner to r/w and try paste again.

to change the MMS to black and bubbless (iphone esh) same thing only paste it in the system/apps and paste

reboot, look at your new splash screen and minimal MMS

i tried the free stuff but having to toggle between two apps was a pain and I've been using root explorer for installing transparent .apk and moving files around so it's paid for it's self. Even though i tried to buy it / refund it after i was done with it.
