Hey everyone, I got my wife a nook color for Xmas. I followed all the steps for the autonooter and got to the android setup screen, skipped and all that. Rebooted and now it only stays on the n screen. I updated it to 1.0.1 and I have experience rooting with my g1. Is it bricked or can I fix it?
Make sure that you use the NC to format the SD card with the AutoNooter Image on it.
Ok, how would I get it to do that now though if it won't boot into the android ui? It's not bricked is it? And can I just redo autonooter?
Easy fix. Do the 8X reset and the 3 button reset and you'll be back to stock. You may have to redo the 1.0.1 update. Then make a new autonooter img and you are good.

Thanks, haha I feel like a noon again, ive tried to find the 8x and 3 button wipe but I can't seem to get a straight answer, how do I do it lol?
The 8X reset saved mine. I had to recreate the autonooter image using a 2GB sd card insted of the 8GB I originally used.

The 8X: with the NC turned off, press and hold the Power button until you see some screen activity. Release the button for a few seconds and then press and hold it again until the NC goes completely off. Do this 8 more times and it will boot into a new screen and load the software again.
The 3 Button: Press and hold the power button, volume up button and the N button. The NC will boot into a new screen and all your data will be gone. The SDcard will of course be ok and nothing will be removed from it.
I seem to recall (??) that you need to do the 3 button first and then the 8X. Not totally sure about that, but that's the way I remember it right now.
Good luck.
Thanks I'll let you know how it goes
Ok, so I got it fixed and rooted, got market working and downloaded angry birds and it's working. I was under the impression that you get the android ui but I only have the nook ui (I'd like to use both). Also, how do you install the auto config windows tool?
Thanks

If you are using the NC Launcher, it will not show up until you reboot. You can use a Launcher such as Launcher Pro, Zeam or ADW and it will show up in their app drawers immediately.
If I recall, I unzipped it into a folder and then moved that folder to the same as my adb (c:\android\android-sdk-windows\tools). I then cd to the new folder and then typed the name of the .bat file (autonook??) and the script ran. Hope I didn't leave anything out. This is being typed by a man that can't remember what was for breakfast yesterday!!
Ok I'll try that, how do I get launcher pro to install adb(I've never really used it before on the pc)? I'm used to just using the recovery on my g1 to install rooms ect.

Hey, i'm having an issue with cyanogenmod 7 on my Nook Color. Switched from cupcake because I thought I'd have greater compatibility with apps. Since the change, programs that once worked (e.g. snesoid, beautifu widgets) won't book. Just get hung and ask me if I want to force close. I'm using the tablet tweaks and everything... is this just how it is, or did I mess up somewhere along the line? Thanks.
I can't speak for the specific apps or ROM ur using, but yeah this happens with the occasional app. Remember that u r using an unfinished product. It will get better as CM refines it. Android as a whole is a buggy system. Its never going to be as functional as something like iOS.
Did you wipe either Cache and/or Data partitions before flashing CM7? Wiping the Data partition will wipe all installed applications and settings, however, it will prevent any weird issues arising from incompatible settings across different ROMs and OS versions.
I don't know about snesoid, but my personal experience is that BW works very well in CM7.

Sounds like something's wrong. My Beautiful Widgets works great. I'd try reinstalling using these instructions:
I have similar problems with both Beautiful Widgets and the XDA app. When I log into the XDA app, it gives me a force close pop up. However, when I use the XDA app without logging in, I don't have any problems.
Which instructions are you referring to in that MASSIVE 100+ page post?
Thanks.

The first post on that page.. That's how I flashed CM7 (pretty standard method, really) and I have no problems with Beautiful Widgets. Haven't tested XDA app. To be honest, I have problems with XDA app on my Droid 1, CM7, so I never use it.
Thanks everyone! I installed following the instructions from wiki.cyanogenmod http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide
I will give it another shot and report back when I do. Right now I've gone back to cupcake, but still having a problem with beautiful widgets- gets stuck on the "loading skins" screen, never loads.
p.s. I *did* wipe the cache and data partitions
"Cupcake"?? I think you mean "Eclair"?
Cupcake was many versions ago, before the Nook existed, and the Nook Color ships with Eclair...
So, I switched to cyanogen, but I couldn't get beautiful widgets or snesoid to run. Trying to revert to factory settings, but every time I try I get stuck on the word ANDROID in blue.
I've tried hard booting 8x, I've tried running the script to change the bootcount but this just gets me to clockworkmod. I try running the factory reset/data wipe option, but it clearly doesn't remove cyanogen. I've also tried sideloading a 1.1 version zip, all to no avail. Any suggestions? Would uninstalling clockworkmod help?
Are you sure you followed the 8-failed-boots method precisely? That really should have brought you back to stock, at least as far as I understand.
http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
I really do think so. It brought me to clockwork recovery instead of the usual factory reset...
Well I'm out of my league (I haven't done this) but it seems there are still ways... You could check out http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...install-cwr-save-root-revert-stock-image.html or do some searches here.
Now I'm stuck on the N sign instead of android... Tried everything in the link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690 including the boot partition. No dice. The only way i can get it to boot is to reinstall cyanogen. Is there some trick to uninstalling cyanogen? Any other suggestions out there?
It seems like cyanogen just WON'T WIPE. Even when I format my data, it still loads, despite clockworkmod reporting that it has been formatted. Ideas please!
Check at androidtablets dot net
look for the link about restoring and removing clockwork from an SD card. I'd post the link but I can't yet.

http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...install-cwr-save-root-revert-stock-image.html This one? tried it, no luck
Bummer. Yeah, that's the link. You might want to look in Nookdev too. They oulined a process that was similar, but they said you have to do the image restore AND unregister... though it's been a while since I've looked at it. It might be more helpful. Good luck in getting it back to stock.
This is unfortunate. I had been under the impression it was a LOT easier to get back to stock. (I still bet someone who knows will give you the right guidance.)
Oh well, I guess it's a good argument for using SD card booting exclusively -- I can't wait for a final CM7 SD Card ISO.
Hey guys, I rooted my NC using the instructions on NookDevs several months ago. I recently started using MIUI on my Fascinate and loved it so much that I had to have it on my NC. I put the ROM on my NC uSD, flashed CWM thru ROM Manager, then rebooted into CWM. From there, I assumed the steps would be the same as w my phone, so I wiped data/cache/Dalvik then TRIED to reboot into recovery so I could install the ROM. I never got back to CWM, it just goes straight into the "Log into Google" process.
My problem is that I can't sign in to Google. It just keeps telling me that a connection w the Google servers couldn't be established. I'm connected to wifi and able to get on the internet w the NC browser. On top of all that, when I press the "N" button at the bottom, nothing happens. It's like I have no home screen at all. I've tried turning the NC on and off, disconnecting and reconnecting fm and to my wifi network, and forgetting the network altogether. Can anyone help me out?
Sounds a lot like what I just went thru. I found the MIUI interface interesting so thought I would try it.
Jumped right to Phiremod's V.2 MIUI ROM. After several failed attempts (including using ROM Manager) figured I backup and start from the get-go.
Factory Reset via CWM (wipe data/cache/dalvik). Fresh bootable uSD and flashed Phiremod's ROM directly thru CWM. Took a while to restart (about 5 minutes) but it worked.
Give it a shot.
If you need the Phiremod link: http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?3995-Phiremod-MIUI-for-Nook-Color
Thanks for the info! I can't get into CWM tho. Idk why, but since I can't log in to Market, I can't dl ROM Manager, so I can't boot into CWM.
My guess is that I'll have to do the whole boot interrupt 8 times to go back to stock, then re-root, then dl ROM Manager and go fm there. Was just hoping I didn't have to go thru the re-rooting process. Any other thoughts?, or am I just outta luck?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Start by creating a new bootable uSD with CWM. Factory reset and wipe from there.
http://androidforums.com/nookcolor-...workmod-version-3-2-0-1-recovery-sd-card.html
And format your uSD with this: https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
Awesome! I'll start this tmrw. Thanks so much for ur help!
Do u recommend not going w the MIUI 1.8.5 fm their website?, in favor of the version u flashed?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I really admire Phiremod's work with past ROMs. I liked his mods to the original MIUI interface.
Rather a matter of preference really.
Hope all this helps!
I'm really greatful. I was totally hamstrung. Thanks again!

Thx again for checking up on me!
WOW! HOLY CRAP THIS PLACE IS DEAD! Its been a while since I read around these Zio places. Yup, my ol Zio still bootlooped (its around here somewhere). I tried all the "guides" n zip's and skd's and all that other.....stuff, its koo gathering and installing stuff and gettin that lil rush of hope, but then one lil thing goes wrong or ain't in the step-by-step guied, BOOM- all bad, and nobody's around all of a sudden. Alot of HERE, TRY THIS POST FROM SO N SO (not for the Zio), GO TO BLAHBLAH.COM install that n profit (evil setup to rom someone's phone AND wipe it clean), BUT ITS ALL MY BAD, NEWBIE like me shouldn't mess with roots n roms. Don't get me wrong, if I can find somebody that would fix it for cash, id go back to my zio and chuck this HALLWIE A2 (whatever its called) to a dev. Well, I'm probly gona get smashed for posting this. DEEEEP BREATH........K, I FEEL BETTER NOW.
Now I'm soo broke I cant even pay attention!
What you need help on? Bootloop fix? I can help you. Pm me on the details. Could you still get into faatboot or recovery? What service sprint or cricket!?

My zio is messed up too. I have no home/launcher or whatever you wanna call it. I can't get to settings to enable usb debugging either so none of the adb stuff works for me (so far). New to this and I don't want to buy another phone just yet. More details can be provided as to how this happened if needed. ty.
Not sure where it is but there was a fast boot zip of launcher apk. If you boot your phone into fast boot and cwm copy the zip to the phone and then flash the zip to your Zio it should resolve the issue

openZIO Rom issue
Hi, I just installed the openZIO 2.1.2 ROM. Everything worked fine, but after rebooting and going through the initial set up (i.e. the google user setup blahblah) the VTL Launcher continually force closes and I can't do anything but go back and recover my original boot.img has anyone else had this kind of issue? Any possible fixes? Any help would be appreciated, I know not to many people are in using the Zio forums anymore... but yeah.. Thanks in advance
Try Reflashing again
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
I've actually already done that, and it's still doing the same thing. I've deleted and re-downloaded the ROM, and re-flashed it to my phone, and still having the same issue. VTL Launcher just continually force closes, and it sucks cause I've been waiting months to get to install the ROM cause I couldn't afford a new USB cord. I've read so much on this ROM and everything for the Zio and was excited to actually be able to overclock my phone, and get some pretty good performance boosts out of it. Now I got one, and can't get it to work.. what a sad day
Could you explain your steps when flashing?
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
well I first move the .zip to the sd, then power down and boot up CWM, and "install from SD card" and once it's finished flashing, I reboot the phone. when it comes back up my kyocera logo comes back up and it takes me through the first-boot programming (google sign-in) and once I input my un/pw and sign in, it tells me that VTL had an error and must hit force close. and once I hit force close it continues to come up saying the same thing over and over again. so I rebooted my phone, still the same thing. SO I go back through and flash it back to my original boot.img. I have gone through and completely deleted the openZIO 2.1.2.zip file and re-downloaded it, and gone through the same steps to see if maybe it was just a bad file somehow. But to no avail, still having the same issues.
After you boot into cwm : wipe cache partition, then go into mounts and storage, format: system, data, cache :then go into advanced and wipe dalvick cache.
Now flash rom
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
Ok just went through with what you had mentioned, and still getting the same results. "Sorry! The application VTL.Launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. with the only option to force close. As soon as I force close, the same message pops up
Have you tryed flashing my rom?
I would try that, and see what happens.
You can always push a launcher with adb or Droid commander.

doing this now actually.. been reading for the last hour or so and seems like you did some good work on the ROM. it's flashing now, hopefully all works well I'm excited to see how it goes.
Well it flashed and well... seems to be having a strange issue.
When switching screens, it seems to glitch out? Like you see the icons, and when you switch screens, it's like the icons move but it freezes different frames. imma re-flash it in the morning to see if that helps any.

Hey everybody, new to the forum.. glad to be here!
Here's the deal.. I have googled and searched xda as well as other forums and can not seem to find the answer I am looking for,,
Here's what happened...
I was running 2.3.6. Used CWM and root zip to root my phone. That all worked fine, but next, like a dummy, I went through and started deleting stock apps and accidentally deleted my Live Wallpapers and Wallpapers. So, I used an app (I feel bad for not being able to remember which one, but in the midst of panic I went into last night, it slipped my mind) to unroot it.
When I did this, the stock apps didn't return. I'm guessing because I didn't back them up. So, next I tried to install Flash2stock, thinking that would get me back to where I needed to be. Well, somehow in the menu, I thought it would be a good idea to wipe the rom and everything else.
So, now when I turn my phone on it will boot to "Samsung Galaxt Exhibit 4g" screen and then just boot loop.
In my googling yesterday, I found a page about using ODIN and how I could use it to flash back to stock with my phone. I tried and tried, but Odin will not recognize my phone. I have the correct drivers installed (as far as I can tell) but no luck..
So, I'm here to ask you root gurus about solutions. Are there other methods to restoring my stock rom and getting my phone working again?
or am I just missing something with the Odin stuff?
Please, please, please help! I thank you so much in advance. Not having a phone sucks!
Try uninstalling the drivers and re-installing the ones from here:

PS: Have you put your phone into download mode before connecting it to your computer? Volume down and power should get you there.

Thank you for sending me that link. I did not know that I needed a different driver for download mode.. unfortunately both links provided in the wiki page do not work. I am going to google it again and see if I can find them somewhere else.. or if you know of another link that would rule.
And yes I did. I believe I did so correctly. Once the screen with the yellow "!" came up, I pressed the Vol up to get into download mode, then I plugged in my phone, then started Odin. Odin showed the message "Please connect Phone".
I'm running Windows 7 32-bit. And my computer thinks the other driver is called "mtp driver". This is draining, but I am determined to not let a phone beat me
I have done this before, since you have cwm on your phone, all you need to do is download the flash2stock zip to your external sd. Flash via cwm and wait for it to finish, then reboot and let your phone sit for roughly 10 mins. You should be good after that

Thanks again guys. I finally found the srivers I needed and got Odin ti recorgnize my phone.
The method with the sd card would have worked perfectly, but i do not have an sd card reader for my computer. Will definitely be investing in one soon!
When Odin set this guy back up, it install 2.3.5 bavk on here, which is fine because I plan to root and customize anyway.
Any suggestions for kernels/roms i should check out? I have done minimal looking at the ones for my drvice, but intend to.
My main concern is functionality. I need my camera and other apps to work. If they dont, then to me it defeats the purpose.
Also, I do remember the joy os rom that looks like an iphone-ish layout.. Has anybody made one that looks like a windows phone? Ive used the launchers in the past, but it would be cool if there was a rom out there.
Thanks again yall!

If you want a windows phone look you could get Cyanogenmod and install a windows phone theme. Then just get Launcher 8. The theme is pretty extensive and does the whole system. Then just get apps like metro messaging to replicate core apps. Also there is a Windows phone keyboard out there somewhere.
