Thanks to Decad3nce - Nook Color General

Since I do not have enough post's to leave a thanks in the Dev forum. I want to thank Decad3nce for the 1.1 update zip. Worked just like a kernel update. All apps continue to work and root was maintained. I will push a real thanks once I get the post number up.

I can't thank the guy enough. He made it infinitely easier to get the B&N update.
I've been waiting for this update as well as it fixes my Wifi sleep reboot issues. I can now actually listen to Pandora with the screen off. OMG!
Buying this device was like buying my G1. I was happy with the package that I received on purchase day, but as my happiness grew tired, new updates and fixes made it more enjoyable everyday. (There was no BT audio or virtual keyboard in Android 1.0)

sounds like it was a piece of cake to set up as well.
hopefully he sticks around as we need all the help we can get around here
thanks again!!

Same here. Flashed his update over my auto nootered 1.0.1 nook. And everything is exactly how it was. No issues with su root permissions or anything. And like first poster i don't have enough post to say thanks in the dev forum. So ill say it here.
Thank you!!!!!!

Could someone help me with this update? I pretty much understand Decad3nce's instructions, but I don't understand what clockwork is and how to set that part of it up.
I'm Autonootered with 1.0.1 right now and wi-fi is OFF until I figure out what to do.
Thanks!

Worked like a charm on all three nooks in our house! Thank you! such a great community on XDA! Donations coming shortly!

Download ROM Manager from the Market. Launch it and at the top, there will be an option to install Clockwork. From ROM Manager, you can boot into recover (CWM). Cool?

This thread shows how to use clockwork recovery http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...m-manager-nandroid-backup-custom-kernels.html

100% Agree on the Thanks! Updated mine in no time and had no issues at all!! Thanks!!
Now I need to make some posts so I can actually thank the people in Devs!

Wow! Nice. I was worried if it will mess up my auto nootered 1.0.1. I am going to all his update zip via CWR.
And that was my 10th post. Yay!

I haven't seen an answer to this question. Hope it's OK to ask here.
I followed instructions to block the 1.1.0 OTA update by editing the build.prop file, and everything still works right on my auotnootered 1.0.1. Do I need to" unmodify" build.prop before using Decad3nce's pre-rooted 1.1.0 ROM?
Also I saw some weird behavior after installing Rom Manager and Titanium Backup: my NookColor Tools app stopped working, so I uninstalled both, and the tools app worked properly again. Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks in advance. Great forum - i'm getting a lot more enjoyment out of my rooted NC and I have all you experts to thank.

I agree 100% with all of the posts that give this thanks. It worked well for me also.

Am I the only one getting an B&N authorization problem. It gives me a message saying that there has been an authorization problem and must reset. Resets back into 1.01. Happens a few minutes after the reboot into 1.1 ROM.
Good thing I have backups, so that's not a problem. I guess I can wait for a new Auto-nooter. Anyone have ideas?

I had mod'd build.prop on my 1.0.1. autonootered and recently installed Decad3nce's ZIP. Minor problems documented and easily resolved in dev thread. Everything working well.
I never saw your issue with Rom Mgr and Titanium Backup.
Also, big THANKS to decad3nce. Great job!

Thanks for your comment. I completed the process within about 10 minutes this morning, and everything seems to be working perfectly. No problems or hiccups whatsoever.
Thanks, vinal and another BIG thanks to Decad3nce. Awesome work.

Problem with ADB
I was doing fine with the autonooter 1.01. Used Decadence's 1.10r2 and now can't install SlideIT and can't ADB into the nook.
I have double-checked that USB debugging is enabled.
I have reinstalled the ROM
I have taken off security, thinking that might have impacted it (didn't help)
I have tried using Astro and ES file managers to copy and paste SlideIT from the \sdcard\downloads to \system\apps\ --that didn't work because \system\apps is read only.
Slide it is in my app drawer, but doesn't show up in my list of available keyboards.
Similar problem with SwiftKey. and KeyPurr. With Slide It, I've tried to install the market trial app, and I've also gone the the developers website and downloaded the 15 day trial which (I believe) is the full app only good for 15 days.
Titanium, superuser, and softkeys are working.
Since I can't access the nook with ADB (btw, I'm using Linux), I'm thinking it's a permissions problem in the ROM.
Any suggestions?

I am also a happy customer. Was running 1.0.1 and installed Decad3nce's 1.1.0 R2 and every thing worked great except Wifi reconnecting after sleep.

So, we have two reasons we haven't gotten this out yet:
1) We're pretty burned out at the moment,
2) And three of us now have full semesters of classes to deal with too. We've been focusing on other things.
I hope to get this out this weekend at the latest. But don't quote me on that. Even though it's printed in text right here.
I will update this thread when I have more information.

Because it involves work compiling, packaging and testing it so that it "just works". Behind the words "just works" lies a complex set of processes. Just hold tight, people have lives outside this place
They should take the time, better a good running root, as a ok running root with 1000 of questions afterwards.
Take you time, university is more important, and when its done, its done. I also appreciate your work and hope for a release soon.

Backup everything
Hi
I assume the unrEVOked will install a new ROM on the phone, clearing all the data stored on it. So we have to make backup from the phone before rooting it (Is it true?)
So I tried to make the full backup. The best solutions available were the:
1. The Titanium Backup. It needs the BusyBox to be installed. I tried to install BusyBox on my wildfire which was already soft-rooted using MartinEve great work, but it made errors creating a folder under /system/xbin and failed. So Titanium Backup is not a solution now (Again, Is it true?)
2. The Nandroid Backup which is also a perfect tool, but I think it will not work again with the soft-root and needs the unrEVOked root ROM to be installed. (Is it true?)
Finally I have no idea to backup all the phone except simple tools like ASTRO file manager which makes a backup of all applications, etc.
Is there any better idea?
All the best
No idea what the best backup way is.
But unrevoked will not release a ROM.. they are just releasing a.. ehm dont know how to put it... a something that makes it possible to flash other ROMs to your phone

Hi,
No, the unrEVOked root will simply flash a custom recovery to your phone -- the main partition remains in-tact. That said, you might still want to do a backup using a 3rd party market app if you feel paranoid.
Thanks Martin.
By the way, end of week is so close, and still there are only 5 faces on the site. We are really waiting
done expect to much set ur hope a month forward and be happily suprised when its out erlier.

New leak 2.3.15 DEODEXED zip

Found the zip file for the new leak. Didn't see posted here other than by using the blackhat app.
Haven't tried it, so use it at your own risk. I'm not liable for any damage to your phone or you
http://www.mediafire.com/file/drixq6ry6ja83oq/DX-2315-Deodexed.zip
Instructions:
Bootstrap Recovery, Mount, Mount System, Apply Update.zip
I don't know how to do the first 3, so if anyone could elaborate for those noobs like me would be awesome
You can follow the original thread on another forum

Hopefully I'm not breaking any rules. If I am let me know, and I'll take the link out
You can find the Droid X bootstrap app in the market. Just download it and run, then select boot into recovery, scroll down to Mount & Storage, mount system, apply zip. This is all assuming your already rooted.

Rom manager doesn't work on my droid for some reason. It reboots the phone but nothing else. My phone is rooted. I don't know if I should buy this and it doesn't work
But thank you for explaining what to do very helpful
Rom Manager and the Bootstrap tool are two seperate utilities. Search under koush to find it if your having trouble. You don't need rom manager in order to install roms.

Hey
I downloaded it. I hit bootstrap recovery and then the second link. It rebooted and got to the "green screen". I went to back up and restore and hit it. Now my screen is black. Did I messed up my phone, is it normal and takes a while, or can I just pull out the battery and start fresh??
EDIT: Forget it got it, it was empty, I just hit the power button and it went back to normal....
Actually I'm supposed to hit the camera button not the home button, I just saw that :/

You are definitely NOT breaking any rules.
The leak is just that, a leak of a Verizon test ROM, or perhaps Moto, but leaked software nonetheless.
It is not anyones original work other that Google, Verizon, Moto.
If it was a ROM Developers personally modded tweaked themed built ROM, then it would be inappropriate.
I feel that leaks should always be given to the community for free if someone gets ahold of one, its better for the community.
Anyways...I have installed and works fine...no significant changes from. 13 I have seen.
Cheers!

The market speed on this leak SUCKS. If you're happy with what you have, stay there. You gain absolutely NOTHING from updating to this.
If you want, I can make you a build.prop that says your running 2.3.15 and it'd be the same thing. You'd never notice.

I had a similar issuing going from the first leak to the second. What I did is simply restored the original market that I had backed up via Titanium backup. I suspect just clearing the cache and resetting defaults will have the same result.

No, I tried everything. Clearing cache/data did nothing. I did a checkin, a *228, and replaced build.props, everything. Only thing i didnt do was restoring a market from Titanium. Glad it worked for you, but I really dont notice a difference or see any need whatsoever to make this "upgrade".
Look at the thread on MyDroidWorld.com about it lol It seems more like a bug reporting thread than a "thanks for the good work" thread.

Ok i got my NC now what? I have a captivate and can root/ flash roms so i hope this is not alot different. I try to read through the forums but damn there is alot of stuff. Most of it is a jumbled mess.
Anyone got a quick list of things i need to do?
Back up original software? How?
root, update, Flash to 2.2? how?

Updates are delivered OTA and also can be done manually from with a DL from the B&N site ... current version is 1.1 and by reading at the NOOKColor Portal you can find how to root from any version.

I clicked the link above and I may have missed it (Found it) but I did not see the root instructions for the latest firmware update. Is there a different thread I should start reading for this?
Note: I've been a nook owner for all of one week and I'm in desperate need of Android knowledge as I'm really digging this thing.
Here's a good link with very clear instructions on rooting:
http://community.saugususd.org/jklein/weblog/1345.html
In the post that follows that one (it's a blog) he covers updating while rooted and also speeding up the CPU.
I had to restore my stock NC to 1.0.1 so that the currently available autonooter would work. Here's a link to a great thread on how to do that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720
Check your version number on your Nook. I bought mine last week but it still had 1.0.0 -- then I manually upgraded to 1.1.0 prior to rooting, which was a mistake!
If you haven't rooted by now, note that an Auto-Nooter version is out that gets you to v1.1 .. it's here ... read thoroughly tho B4 you go and be aware of the changes you will get with this package.
you can also use the clockwork rooting (CWR) method here from TheCubed and then use the Decad3nce rooted 1.1r2 from here. I think the autonooter is easier, but if you can figure out the CWR then you will also build on the knowledge of fixing your NC if you accidently delete the boot/system partition.

Nook Color update 1.3 - Rooting question??

Hi everyone!
I am very new to rooting and this website. I have rooted my NC using a You Tube Video to go by. I have rooted doing the CM7 and also rooted using just the autonooter.
I like the autonooter version best because I have access to the market, plus the orginial B and N sites. Now, comes the 1.3 update. I love People magazine, and as of now, everyone is saying that is the only way I can get it. Has anyone come up with how to use the autonooter with the 1.3 update??
Thanks!!

Um...not to be rude, but have you bothered to look much? There's a whole (active) thread right here on the general board about this, not to mention the updated manual nooter thread in the development board.
For your information I have "bothered to look" .. I had some other questions, but I will look for my answers elsewhere!......Not to be rude
I was able to root my wife's Nook Color 1.3 using Manualnooter 4.6.16. Look for the Manualnooter instructions in the Nook Color Android Development section. Since the Nook Color had never been rooted, I just burned a CWM image to an SD card and installed Manualnooter 4.6.16 per the instructions. I ran the Fix Permissions from ROM Manager as suggested. I did have some issues with the New Market not showing all the apps that will run on the Nook Color but there are suggested fixes shown in other posts.
It would be great is someone would post some information (directions) specific to rooting a stock 1.3 with a Manualnooter file with a fully working market but I have not see that.

The manual nooter instructions are pretty much as good as it gets. The market not fully working is more a function of the market than it is rooting the nook.

The "Shopping" feature is working on her rooted 1.3 so I People Magazine should download just fine.
By the way, the repair to the Android Market for me involved the process where you force close the Market and clear cache, then force close Google Framework Services and clear data, then reboot. There are other tablets besides the Nook for which this process works. As a side note, the LCD density change and Market rollback did not work for me as it has for some of the CM7 users.
Let me know how things work out as I have a rooted 1.1 (B&N Updates are blocked) that I would like to get back to a stock 1.3 and then root. On my rooted 1.1 the "Shopping" feature is broken.
I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I followed the instructions on here for the manual nooter for the 1.3 update. I followed them " TO THE LETTER" ! and after a few min...and some nail biting (LOL) everything rebooted just fine! Now, it did say that my install had failed before it rebooted and I was still connected to my laptop.
At that point, I decided to just cut my losses, wipe and return to stock. but then it rebooted again, and this time I had the market and I could open my People magazine!!
So far I haven't had to do any "fixing" on it!
Hikersc.... I do recommend it!!

No, it doesn't show FB yet and I don't like Angry Birds so I've not installed that one. It is showing the other apps I have downloaded. If you would like I can try downloading Angry Birds just to see if it will show.
There is one problem I am having that I don't like. I don't have a back button, so I have to hit the U button at the bottom, the touch Zeam Launcher to go back to home screen and then start over. I may play around with it today, since it's raining!!

If FB is not showing in the Market then it is the same as mine (or my wife's). It is not a big deal as you can always sideload these type apps. Crazy Snowboard is one of my favorites and did not show on my 1.1 rooted so I had to sideload.
You need to use Soft Keys for your back button if no back button is showing (mostly B&N apps) at the bottom. Once you run soft keys, the little soft key icon will bring up a "soft key menu" that will home, menu, back, etc. Give it a shot and see if that works for you.

You won't believe what happened! I had been reading this morning, and turned it off afterwards. When I turned it back on, it stuck at the "Nook Color" set up menu. That's the first time I have ever had a root to go bad. I've had them to "not take before" but for something to happen like that?? So I had to unroot, set it back up from the beginning, and now have side loaded the 1.3 update. If I try the root again, I will do it just as the directions are typed!! (LOL)
Everything was working fine, I just don't know what happened??
Wish I knew what to tell you folks...I just went back and shut down my nook and restarted it. It always sorta seems like it takes an uncomfortably long time at the color flashing animation, but it went through just fine. What I did initially was exactly what I documented in my other thread...

Is CWM on emmc or the SD card? I avoid CWM on emmc and also don't use ROM manager.

I'm not sure. (LOL) I made a bootable CWM on an SD card. Then loaded the manual nooter on it.
I rooted it over again.. Putting it back to stock version, then side loading the 1.3 update, and then running the 4-5-18. and I ran the Fix Permissions.
What may be going on is I didn't load the 4-6-16a either time, and that may be the entire problem. If something happens to it this time, I'll just leave it at the 1.3 and wait until something else comes up.

It happened again! I cut it off, and then cut it back on later, and it stuck at the boot. Guess, I'll just have to unroot.....

If you are going back to stock, then simply apply the B&N 1.3 update like they say on their website (put it on the nook via usb, then unplug the cable, it will apply when it goes dark).
After it's done, don't bother with 4.5.18 - just go straight to 6.16. That's what I did and it should work fine. It seems that 5.18 is only necessary if you are going from rooted 1.2 to 1.3.
See how that works for you...

This is what I did except I used 4.6.16a (I also loaded a 1.3 kernal and ran the "Fix Permissions" from ROM Manager). All is well for me except the Market does not show FB and others. I was hoping a fix for the Market was forthcoming as the various fixes used with CM7 Market did nothing for me.

[Q] Droid 3 root/unroot question for experts

hey guys this is my first post. I have known about this website for a long time. i am a huge fan. I am having some trouble with my droid 3. I have used the v7 one click root and it worked like an absolute charm. i loved it. i highly recommend it for new d3 users. Only problem is my DA sister was messing with my phone right when the new update went out for them. lets just say.. she updated it. i had absolutely no idea until i tried to access root permissions and it did not work. i had titanium backup running too so my apps are frozen but my phone is not rooted anymore? i cant access anything. i tried to re-root my phone but it says adb is not recognized as an internal or external command or something like that. I dont know if i have to reset my entire phone? or what. Ive tried everything and nothing is working. If this is not the proper forum to ask this question i apologize ahead for this is my first forum like i said. I have absolutely no idea what to do. i am very stuck. Anything can help guys thank you.
if you had so any apps frozen I'm surprised the update went through. Lol the one click root should work for you though. I guess if you've tried everything an sbf with the .890 file is guaranteed to solve your problems and you will be able to reroot just as you've done before. Just check if your drivers are still a-ok

thanks
i re-installed new drivers even tho i was pretty sure mine were all set. but instead of opening up the easy root v7 out of winrar directly i extracted it to the desktop then ran it then it worked? lol so i am very confused. but it works now thank you for your help.
