samuelhalff has posted info on a Bottom Status Bar.
Unless I'm missing something, the flashable files are meant for the emmc versions.
The only file of yours I have used is the one posted by racks11479 in his post regarding SD Card files.
He warns that using anything else will flash the emmc, which is what I want to avoid.
So my question remains....What if any of your Bottom Status Bar flashes will work on SD card installations without disturbing the internal memory?
If this exists, please point me to it. If not, just let me know.

I just got the OTA on my FRF50 N1, I guess it's FRF91, but I want to do the update/root-without-touching-bootloader thing. Is it possible to cancel the install of the OTA which seems to have automatically downloaded itself? It's prompting me to restart and install. I wonder if there's a file or folder somewhere on the SD card or flash memory that I can access and erase after turning off the phone.
The sticky at the top of the N1 gen forum tells you in bold NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS.
Ask them in the Q/A section. Gen section is for news, tips only...
Yeah, I know, I reported the post already.
Any ideas? It seems to be somewhere on the internal memory because changing the uSD card did nothing.
Hello Folks (Long time no see ... last time I was on here was for windows phone stuff in 2008)
So I got in on the Nook Color BN ebay deal ($199) plus tax ...and I have been reading quite a bit (but barley scratched the surface on all the reading). So I thought I would ask something simple...
I want to backup my Stock Nook Color ...no changes made to it no nothing ...I did root it with a 2g Mico SD card last night that was super slow and the 2 part restore to factory just takes forever in my book (8 reboots with the factory wipe etc).
So here is my question ...Is there a way to backup the stock BN nook color (1.01 firm ware) with all your settings etc so all you would have to do is load that on an SD card put it in hook up the nook to the computer and your done ...basically a reverse auto-nooter-2.12.25 type of file ? with a step by step instructions
Thanks in advance to any one that responds/read ...sorry Im back to being a Noob ...
If an admin reads this and thinks that this is addressed some place else please let me know where and please delete this thread.

Your options as the way I see it:
1. Use a rooted ROM by booting off the SD card and keep the internal (eMMC stock) in tact.
OR
2. In the development section, there should be a thread on the first page about Dual booting. This may require some workarounds but flashing a second partition with a rooted OS through CWM and keeping the first partition stock might be another option. You may need to do this by booting up CWM through an SD because you might not be able to install CWM if you keep the first partition stock.

Thanks for the reply Eddog4DROID
I was thinking more like I have 2 Micro SD cards (2 8gb class 6 Micro SD) and on SD card "A" I would have the stock as I got it from BN and use the technique where one connects it to the PC and let the SD card do its magic for it going back to stock ...SD card "B" would be used for my normal adroid stuff ...so not only dual booting but for applications pictures etc ...basically all that is fun to do with your full android.
I will check out the dual booting thing in the dev thread as you instructed because I see that as a good option ...hopefully I can have it so if the SD card is in then it boots to the hacked android and if the SD card is not in then it boots to normal standered nook color.
The one thing I am still searching for is the HTC Home type of screen (the old school flipping clock with the current time and weather and the windshiled wipers etc) for the Nook Color to display on the lock screen ...but I plan to look for that in the threads later on.
Can't you just flash back to stock with the posted stock ROM?

That i guess would workd but how do I back up my Own rom ? and is the stock rom actually in ROM ? for some reason (and please correct me if I am wrong on this part) I thought that the Sock "rom" was actually on the SD card.
I am basically wanting to do away with the count to 8 before the rom kicks in ....maybe a cool thing would be to have an application that allows you to auto "flash" to the stock "rom" from a rooted machine ...like it would be an option and once done you would just have to manually reboot with out the SD card ( humm for to look more at the devfourms)

Check out MonsterRoot by IOMonster. Using his image, you can boot CWM from the SD card and backup your configuration to the SD. And of course restore.

I absolutely love my N1 and wouldn't change it for anything else; if only I hadn't this disk space problem.
I have a N1, 2.3.6 GRK39F, rooted but with the original ROM. I have ROM Manager installed but I have not flashed any custom recovery yet. I used root right to uninstall few programs, for TB etc.
I have the APP2SD app from market which I used to move apps to SD card, but I still get the low space error and I can't move anything to SD anymore. This is really annoying me.
Can anybody tell me step by step, what I can do to resolve? Please take into consideration that I already moved my apps to SD using the APP2SD application.
Thanks a lot.
Please insert "A2SD" into search box, and go over the results.
Also, please read Nexus One FAQ, question 9. And while you're at it, use the link - it'll eventually bring you to the thread to read.
Dear All
Can anyone suggest why an icon would keep getting deleted from the Galaxy Note Home screen after every reboot?
I have GPS Speedometer from Linxmap installed. It works fine but whenever I copy the shortcut icon to my Home screen, it gets deleted after every re-boot. No other app behaves this way. I have asked the dev but have yet to hear from them.
Could this be a bug in the custom ROM I'm using? Hard to believe as only the one app is affected but you never know.
Galaxy Note GT-N7000 + Ultimate N7000 XXLS7 JellyBean 4.1.2v4
Thanks in advance
Trevor
Is the app moved to the sd by any chance ? Find it under settings, manage applications.
Whenever I move apps to sd I lost the icon too
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
yes it has has to the icons moved to sd. The bug in the latest release of ics I guess has carried to jb now. Hopefully it will not be there in official release.
move to app to internal storage.
I can see the app info but not sure what info I should be looking for.
Total 6.39MB
Application 1.11MB
USB Storage app 5.12MB
Data 164KB
SD cad 0.00B
I have not attempted to change the default installation. I tried searching for the apk file but can't find where that is stored.

just below where it shows SD card , there is a Button.. it should say "Move to Device Storage".. does it ?.. if yes then press it,.and try the shortcut again.. else report back.
I've done that and it appears to work. The icon is still there after a re-boot. Many thanks indeed.
I've never messed with those settings as I haven't yet learned exactly what they are for.
If it's not too much to ask to ask, could you give a brief explanation of these two settings and when/why I would use them?
Ok, I can see that in the case of this one app, it was stored on the sdcard (which I thought meant the internal sd card of the phone) and for some reason this caused it to get deleted from Home screen on re-boot.
Having clicked on Move to Device Storage, I see that the app file has turned up in data/app and no longer gets deleted from Home screen on re-boot.
Sorry for asking dumb questions but many thanks for fixing my problem.

Some apps get directly installed to ext SD card. This causes the app to relocate itself after a reboot. Not only the homescreen shortcut but if the app is placed in a folder in the app drawer screen, it will come out and replace itself somewhere else. this has been found as a bug in the latest release of ICS 4.0.4 and seems its still there in the leaked JB version.
If used "Move to SD card" : all will store the data on external SD card. it wont be visible via the phone exolorer until you remove the sd and connect to a PC. You can use it for saving space on internal storage but the app icon will keep relocating itself.
That helps a lot. Thank you for your patience.

Just to clarify: The app itself is not being "relocated" on a reboot, the app stays where it was installed (SD Card), and you can still launch it by finding the icon in the app drawer.
The problem is that the icon shortcut vanishes from the TW launcher.
I have a work-around using Tasker, but I sure wish Samsung would fix this.

Anyone else experiencing an issue with the micro sd slot after rooting? it wont read the cards, but it does notice when you remove an sd card. Is there a fix for that issue and has anyone else encountered it?

How do you know it is not reading the card? Have you looked at ext_sdcard to see of it is there?
And how did you root 2.0.4? Most folks get automatically updated to 2.0.5.

feel free to steal this little tip from me:
When starting from scratch after purposefully activating the 8 Boot Fail Safe, when it gets to the part where it's looking for an update, while its looking hold down "Power" and select OK to turn the device off interrupting the update process. When you turn it back on, you'll have to start the whole thing over again, but when it gets to the Update step it bypasses it thus cancelling out the 2.0.5 mandatory update. Now that you have 2.0.4 you can run your all-in-one and update cancel program before it has a chance to try updating again.
-Another helpful hint after reverting to stock firmware, turn off your internet until you run all the rooting software.
No I didn't check to see if it showed up in a root explorer.I'll check that out.
.....
Just checked and no it doesn't come up. I even removed and reinserted the microSD in question and still nothing. The little SD logo pops up on the screen (the big blue vector image one) but it never gets read in the device in system or root explorer.
Is there a way to fix it on test disk for windows?

Your system after an 8 failed boot reset and before an update is 2.0.4? If it is, PM me as I would like to get a copy of your factory zip.
And you looked for ext_sdcard in /mnt?

I found it in mnt, man they really do everything strange on Nooks, haven't had one since the original Color. I see the problem. It's lacking any sort of permissions (read, write or anything). How do I get those to stick? since I've noticed things in Root tend to not stay permanent. and as for the PM, I'll get right on that. Thanks for all of your help.

SD cards do not let you make permission changes. I'm not sure why. Are you sure it does not have read write permissions? Can you create a file there?
Read my section on data structures in my HD/HD+ tips thread linked in my signature. It explains why the HD's are structured the way they are.
And thanks for working on the PM.
Fixed?

I think I figured it out. It seems that the cwmearly builds damage the sd cards, but once reflashed with the ones on your post it gets read just fine. I wanted it fixed since I couldn't find my other SD cards and had to resort into turning a 32gb into a 4gb card to install some zips (lame) and I wanted to get it back to its 32gb glory. So by rewriting my card with your 4gb image and putting it in my nook it got read and then I just formatted it on the nook and it was back to normal, though I had another card with the cwmearly img on it and it was going back to its old ways and repeated the previous steps and it was fine. so CWMearly was the problem.
I don't know how to make a clean back up without my data on it so this one will have my personal info (no credit card info, obviously) but maybe with your skills you can scrub it out of it. I'm not that well versed in this kind of stuff. I have an above average knowledge of android, but not any real knowledge of developing or ADB.

No I don't want your backup, I want your factory.zip from partition 7. It won't have any of your stuff on it, it is just what comes from the factory. If you don't know how to get that, I can give you instructions.
