[Q] New user questions - Nook Color General

Hello,
I got an NC recently from a friend who had already rooted and installed CM7 nightly version.
I want to remove all data and application and install a fresh CM7 stable version. I would like to know how I should go about achieving that. I've read a little about updating to new version and flashing back to clean stock ROM. should I flash back to stock ROM and re-root the device and install CM7 stable version or update? and if so which method should I use?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I would just follow this link and install fresh. This ROM seems very stable and darned fast for me that is!

A fresh install will allow you to learn and ensure previous data is gone....Enjoy!

If I proceed with this, I wouldn't be able to flash back to stock ROM? would that be an issue in the future? and how is the battery usage while running phiremod v6?
Thanks for the quick reply!

I've been doing nothing but updates since nightly 30 and my nook runs great.
If you want to do a fresh install, just boot into CWR and wipe the /system /data and /cache partitions before installing CM7.
It's not necessary to return to stock unless you mangled your boot partition somehow (or wiped it by accident like I did lol).

After having used cm7 why in the world would you want to use stock?? Unless of course you wanted to return the nc for some reason, then yeah you need to go back to stock.
I've had several tablets and for the money you can't beat the nc, especially running cm7. If I had unlimited funds I'm sure I could find something better, but really I'm rather in love with this device even compared to tablets cosing twice as much.

How'd it go? I just flashed the phiremod v6 myself.

Changing Model Number
I need to change the name of my NookColor to to something like AndroidTablet. Does anybody know of an app. that will do this?

When you say change the name.. where? The network ssid? In about this phone? Somewhere else?

[Q] Questions about 2.2 Froyo on Hero CDMA

Is Cyanogenmod the only Froyo option for the CDMA Hero? I'm thinking of upgrading from the Sprint 2.1 firmware. I have several questions:
Really Important:
Can I downgrade to the original Sprint 2.1 firmware without breaking anything? I really don't want an expensive phone-shaped paperweight if anything goes wrong.
Can I keep the HTC sense UI (I only want the main menu dialer anyway)? I saw that thread saying Sense 2.2 is about 85% done.
Somewhat Important:
Can I install the wifi tethering app on 2.2 Cyanogenmod?
Does Sprint notice if you tether and cut you off?
Do I have to root my phone?
Isn't giving root to potentially malicious apps a bad idea?
Is giving root on a per-request basis?
Can I remove the stupid Sprint boot animation?

You are already on stock firmware. Do you mean if you go to CM6 can you go back to the stock firmware of 2.1?
Can I keep the HTC sense UI (I only want the main menu dialer anyway)? I saw that thread saying Sense 2.2 is about 85% done? the Froyo rom yo usaw is the wildfire port and its in major alpha form right now. There is no fully operational Froyo sense rom for the hero yet
Somewhat Important:
Can I install the wifi tethering app on 2.2 Cyanogenmod? YES im using it right now
Does Sprint notice if you tether and cut you off? NO there is no way for them to see yo u have root and are using it
Do I have to root my phone? YES in order to go to CM6 or any custom rom you need to. ALong with wireless teething
Isn't giving root to potentially malicious apps a bad idea? Of course there is always a risk for anything. Thats why you nandroid before installing anything or before making setting changes.
Is giving root on a per-request basis? YES..superuser will pop up asking for request for any app that asks for request..you can allow or deny
Can I remove the stupid Sprint boot animation?YES, Cyanogenmod CM6 removes the sprint boot logo with e android cyanogen mod one.

And you can All you'd have to do is RUU
If all you want from Sense is the dialer, there is always Dialer One on the Market. I have been running more AOSP-based ROMs than I ever really ran Sense, so when I finally got bored with the stock dialer and gave it a shot, I didn't even notice it was supposed to replicate the Sense dialer, ha. It's a hell of a lot more customizable, and I think it's much "cleaner" looking overall (especially if you have it set to hide the green dial button in the contact list, and NOT have the keypad when the dialer is open by default, and taking up at least half the screen).
That Wildfire port is old. This is the current ongoing 2.2 Sense port, if you're into that sort of thing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834840
Okay, that was exactly what I needed to know, thank you. After reviewing the various pages, are these the correct steps to get 2.2 Cyanogenmod up and running?
Root phone
Backup apps/SMS, etc.
Backup using nandroid
Revert to the 2.1 .5 (NOT .6 or .7) firmware
Flash Cyanogenmod
Restore app/SMS backups
Install GApps, Sprint Apps, Sense port (as needed)

Yes, the Hero really can't install full Flash 10.1 because the default specs just won't handle Flash. Supposedly its possible with some overclocking and/or JIT enabled, but even then most ppl say it's not perfect.
We can install a Flash Lite plugin to browsers....try searching for that either on the market or through Google.

Threadjackers.
I still have the same phone, a year later, and I would love an answer... However, I updated to build
Code:
2.31.651.7 CL258838 release-keys
and baseband
Code:
2.42.01.04.27
Can I use the RUU method and root or would I have to completely reset to Sprint's 2.1 and lose everything? Thanks for putting up with my questions.

You can root with .7. I used Regaw's last time I did after an ruu to .7 build. There are great Gingerbread roms now. Aosp flavored like Jaybob's Rom which has the newest .35 kernel baked in; cm7 has begun using that kernel in their builds as well ( although it might not be the newest yet). You can download titanium backup to back up apps and data (sms too). Just follow the directions in the op of whatever Rom you are looking to install.

It worked! That was nice and painless, just don't have your Hero plugged into a USB hub with a dodgy cord like I did. I'm going to go and disable OTA updates as described in the old tutorial. Should I install Cyanogenmod or aosp? It looks like some of the Hero wiki links are pretty dated now, and the only aosp 2.3 link is to a 2.3 aosp labeled unstable and the thread mentioning that the dev quit working on it. I'd love a recommendation on how to get a stable 2.3 install running, I mostly want Exchange sync and tethering.
Id reccomend jaybob rom or kush I'd say jaybob since he still does update from time to time both r still awesome

[Q] Is their any advantage to staying at 1.0?

I bought a nook color yesterday so I could get in on the rooting and roming fun as well. It came with 1.0, which I've already rooted and am now running HC from an SD card. A bit slow, so I'm planning on trying to install it internally. 2 Questions:
1. Is their any reason I should stay at 1.0? Or should I upgrade to 1.01 or 1.1? Will I be able to go back to 1.0 if I want using the 8 reboot method?
2. If I install HC to the internal memory, will I be able to restore to stock? I'm not sure I'm going to keep this device yet so I don't want to do something that will make it impossible to return to stock.
Thanks
1: No, there is no benefit to staying at 1.0.0. If you want to stick with stock eclair then upgrade to 1.1.0, the update fixed some WiFi issues. To revert back to an older "save" install clockwork mod via rom manager and make a backup. That backup can be reflashed whenever from whatever.
2:I don't know what you're confusing GB for but so far only Eclair/Froyo/HoneyComb currently run on the nook color. Yes you can revert back to any older CWM backup from any install on your eMMC. There are stock flashable images in the dev forum, so don't worry about not being able to go back to stock.
Good luck. Have fun.

sorry, typo, i meant HC not GB. who can keep them straight these days? thanks for your answers. i've read reports of people having various problems with 1.1.0, it seems the consensus is 1.01 is the version to be on.

I think the problems you're talking about stem from upgrading an already rooted 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 with clockwork mod installed. If you start with a fresh(no root/CWM) 1.0.0 install then upgrade to 1.1.0 via b&n, then root it; you're in the clear.
But why bother with all of that when nookie Froyo 6.8 on eMMC is stable and performing beautifully.

1. none that I could ever see... must've fixed something to warrant two updates although I believe that both were mostly for WiFi but I never had problems with 1.0 or 1.01...
...now I'm just wondering where the new B&N updates are as IIRC they had TWO slated for February and it's getting to be kind of late in the month to push out two updates... might just as well do one big one now... hope that they're skipping Android 2.2 and going straight to 2.3 or 3.0...

Well the only reason I bought a Nook Color was to play with Honeycomb, dont have much interest in running Froyo, I can do that on my EVO already
One reason to stay with one of the stock ROMs is if you want to use the B&N reader and B&N kids functionality, which are not part of the froyo or HC ROMs. I personally use it a lot and hope they'll get ported over.

Im sure thats important to many people, although I strictly bought this to play with Honeycomb. Now that I've got it running, I'm wondering what I'll actually use this device for? I can already do all this stuff on my EVO and the screen size isn't that much bigger. It sure had been fun messing with it though! Why B&N didnt enable some of this functionality out of the box I'll never understand!

NC w/ customized froyo won't boot

Hi folks.
I installed customized nookie froyo five days ago. I also overclocked the CPU, using the "set at boot" option.
I placed the nook on the charger last night, and later noticed it had rebooted, or at least was trying to reboot...
The "nookie froyo" animation during the boot process simply freezes, then tries to restart again, freezes, ad infinitum.
Don't know if it has anything to do w/ the overclocked kernel or not. Is this a common problem? Is there a way to fix it without re-installing?
Thanks!
I actually had the same thing happen to me (OC-ed, endless reboot), I ended up having to restore to stock. I wasn't entirely sure if it was because of the OC-ing, but since you're in a similar situation, it can't be coincidental.

Did you actually need to restore to stock, or could I just install a different image?
Anybody want to chime in on the current state of the non-stock options? Are CM7 or honeycomb looking pretty stable, or should I stick w/ froyo?
Thanks.
How did you overclock? Via a kernal flash or via setcpu (the app)?
Depending on which you used will determine your next step.
If it simple was a kernal, simply use cwm and flash a new kernal.
Thing i have found to help me the past week has been my rom backups from rom manager.
I have been able to recover from 3 'bad' installs and return to my custom froyo 0.6.8 each time so far.
I use the 0.6.8 on sd to get to rommanager when i have overflashed my emmc.

I had used setcpu.
I reinstalled, using ultimate droid 3.1.2.
Good to hear you are back up and running then.
Question: How far did you push your Nook?
I am using the Setcpu with mine and have it set at 1000 as the max.

I recently tried HC (Deeperblue version, not the new customized version). It's really interesting, but definitely still a work in progress. I'm currently using Phiremod 5.0, and it's fantastic. 5.1 was released last night, but I haven't had a chance to update.

Is CM7 better than the ShadowMOD ROM of Gingerbread?
I'm looking for something that is stable and speedy and without a lot of bugs.
Also, where do I begin?
I'm assuming that I have to root the phone first and then flash the ROM onto the phone?

Well, You have to use both to see which suits you better. I would flash CM7 now and wait for Edgar to release his next version which is expected by the end of the coming week.
You need not root your phone. You need to flash the vulnerable recovery to be able to run Androidiani OR. Once you flash CM7, your phone will be rooted automatically.

You can also try FroyoMOD, Ice&fire ( based on CM7 ) and HONO's mod ( based on CM7 )
Umm, pretty sure we cant use CM7, cause it changes the kernel or something
I just used Androidani Open Recovery or whatever its called to apply the CM7 and it temporarily bricked my phone, thankfully i did a nandroid backup and its rebooting as i type, whew

As far as I know, there aren't any glaring security risks that have been discussed at all. Seeing as Gingerbread is really just based off of the 2.2.1/2.2.2 kernel, I don't see any risks associated.
Thanks for all of the help guys, but I have decided that it may just be too much for me.
I had an original iphone which I jailbroke and installed apps on, but that was years ago. Ever since then I hadn't really messed around with hacking my phone and now I am hesitant to start again, especially with a new os.

All of the tutorials in the development forums are fairly straightforward. Also, I have compiled a tutorial ZIP that I have given to a few people, if you want. I made about 40 steps from start to finish. It's up to you.
Really thought that Gingerbread would rekindle some interest in me for my Milestone, but I think I am gonna trade it away especially sine I have my Nexus One

Well I guess all the little baby steps included but basically,
1. Put AOR on sdcard with cm7.
2. Flash vulnerable recovery
3. Load AOR and flash cm7.
edit: 4. Add V6 SuperCharger as an upgrade option... lol

Come on.. nothing is too hard mate! If you can pass your school exams, these will be a piece of cake! Just that you need some spare time, and an internet connection for you to post back to XDA just in case it didn't work out very well.. now don't be scared, the chances are very unlikely if you read and follow all the instructions properly.
I'd be interested by that zip if you still got it!
As of now, I'm confused about the Telus Milestone on 2.2.1, are there issues to root it or not?

I've got this rom on my samsung fascinate, and I have to say, it's the best rom out there. Even better than cm7. Does every single function work with this rom (gps, camera?) And in order to install it, is all I need to be on a rooted .34 and use bootstrap?

It's a nice rom, I was on CM7, went to Apex, and then used bootstrap to get to Miui. I heard that the GPS does work(but my phone isn't activated and i can't use wifi to try it myself), I can confirm that the camera(pictures and video) works. as far as rooted .34, I don't know what that means?
thanks for ur quick response. So it's assumed that all the functions are working! I'll put this on my cousin's droid x asap! What I meant was, what were the initial steps that needed to be taken before I install this rom. There are no clear steps that I can find on this post at least.
You're welcome, all I did was use the Droid 2 bootstrapper(since that was what i had, and I was on Apex at the time which I think is a froyo based rom?), and went into recovery and did a factory restore, and installed the zip, and it booted. I took a risk, skipped backing up the rom and stuff before installing MIUI, but yeah make sure to back up the rom and stuff before you use the bootstrapper. I also read that full resolution should be working on the camera, the MIUI camera isn't included though, just the AOSP camera. Also the live wallpaper(only one on there) works.

I understand this runs the froyo kernel so im on liberty 2.1 can i bootstrap to recovery and flash this? Oh and do I need google apps as well?
Edit: Do I need to sbf back to stock then to cm7 then to miui?
Which version of Android is Liberty 2.1 based on(not sure if it matters as much as which kernel it's based on, if someone will clear it up for me), and which kernel is it based on? I don't know much about that rom. I know that at least the Market and Google Talk are included, Gmail is in there also(don't know if that's something that wouldn't be in a custom rom ie CM7).
EDIT: You should be able to install it from rooted froyo at least, but it would be good to find out if you could do it from Liberty, so you won't waste your time just in case you can.
Its 2.2 and I couldnt get it to install so i sbf'd back to stock and trying again.
Have you got it running? EDIT: This is Juanito216, i didn't know my sisters account was logged in lol.
Not booting apparently you need d2 bootstrap........sbf'ing again.
Edit: Still at moto logo. 4 minutes now not booting.
I recently installed MIUI on a coworkers OG Droid and fell in love. To have it on my X just a week later is awesome. This ROM is tizzits.
I can get cm7 to boot up but not miui wtf am I doing wrong?
Where the hell is everyone? Even IRC is completely empty.
Have you done a factory restore? Did you try wiping cache?

Im on my third sbf now. I rooted stock froyo got d2 bootstrap, got cm7 running, updated cwm to the latest version, wiped data and flashed miui and get stuck at m logo everytime.
I don't know what the issue could be, hopefully you can get it up and running soon.
