NookColor VPN over wi-fi

I am using a rooted nook color happily except for one detail. Does anyone out there know how to get the VPN support to function?
I tried upgrading to 1.1 and re-rooting, and i tried installing the updated kernel. Neither seems to affect the VPN settings. I also installed wi-fi buddy and in that app I see all of the advanced VPN related settings but they are grayed out.
Dies anyone have any suggestions, I am new to the tablet, but familiar with embedded linux.

Sorry, that's stock v1.1 firmware. Used autonooter to root, installed Dalingren's overclock kernel with MPPE support.
Forgot all the details.

I have the same question. Thanks. Does the overclock kernel keep the rest stock? Do you have the link to the post, I have only seen the other overclock.

I used the latest eclair kernel Dalingrin had at the time. It looks like he just released another one with von related changes. I will try that tomorrow and see if it helps..
The kernels can be found on xda search for dalingrin kernel and it should come up
Warning, installing kernels could brick the device requiring a factory reset. I don't recommend it until the von issue is really fixed. I ran into a number of problems doing this. One to be very aware of is that CWR rom recovery does not seem to be compatible with the nookcolor at this time. If you install RomManager Do Not flash CWR or you will end up with a boot loop.
That issue made me so leery of that package that I actually used the terminal emulator and command line to mount the boot volume and manually update the kernel image and its modules.. That is the only method I can directly confirm, I did not use RomManager to flash the kernel..

If you are really intersted in keeping everything stock but the kernel, the closest way I can think of to do that would be to use an sdcard image including car/rommanager. I believe you can put the flashable kernel on the sdcard and then flash the kernel onto the stock firmware that way.
I have not tried that, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
That would avoid the terminal and the jiggery-pokery with mkimage and remounting volumes manually. It's actually not very hard, but it is certainly more error prone, and it's all linux command line work.
Can anyone confirm that flashing the eclair kernel on stock rom is 'safe' ??

no eclair 3-8-2011 available yet
I was hoping to test the new kernel today, but there is no eclair build yet. From the traffic on that thread it looks like they are struggling with a wi-fi issue at the moment.

[Q] Failed Stock instalation - HELP

Hello guys.
Before I go into it, let me start by saying I'm a complete noob at these things.
A couple of months ago (following guide on the net), I rooted my Optimus P990 and installed my first custom ROM.
Tonight I looked on the net to look at how to restore my device to stock.
I followed this guide.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327599
It didn't work!!!!
Although the phone is still working, I have completely lost internet connection on network and wireless.
I'm worried about trying anything else in case I mess my phone up!!
Can anyone out there help me restore back to stock in noob dialogue??
Thanks in advance

Make a backup of everything.
Then go to recovery and wipe everything!
Perform a fresh install of your current rom + kernel combination.
Boot phone and everything should work now don't forget to restore your backups.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Will try it tomorrow.
Stupid question but what is the kernal?

Every rom comes with stock kernel, which is more or less a sort of 'driver' for your phone. Anyway, you don't really have to know what it is, only what you can do with it.
Custom kernels allow you to overclock your CPU frequency, this will make your phone faster and smoother. For example, stock kernel only allows your CPUto clock at the standard 1.0 Ghz, and custom kernels will let you overclock to 1.5 Ghz.
Custom kernels also allows you to Undervolt your phone. This means that you can turn down the voltages used at each CPU frequency. This will improve battery life. Custom kernels do much more things... But these two are the most important.
Look at my signature for the ETaNa Kernel, and read it for more information.

Ah ok thanks.
Is there a stock ROM that your aware of?

Sorry. When I say stock I mean revert my phone back to how it was when I first got it.

Have you tried restoring it using LG's PC Suite?

No not yet. I'm currently using a custom ROM. Cant remember which one it is.
Would an update via LG's PC Suite overwrite this firmware??

To reach your goal you must flash with nvflash technique, search in dev section thread about this. It will restore a stock phone, erasing recovery and root.
Lg PC suite won't be able to flash over a modified phone.

Ok. Thanks. What's the risk to my phone?

If you want to restore your phone to stock then head over to the MoDaCo site and look for a pinned topic in section on the LG O2X entitled "NVflash stock ROM release."
Following the instructions will restore the stock ROM from March 2011 to your phone.

[Q] Correctly Unlocked, rooted, s-off yet no kernel flash?

So im jimmy. hey. Ive been on this site a while but never post anything. Why? because i can read directions and definitely am not a noob .
Anyways im stuck with my vivid.
I have HTC Unlocked it.
I successfully perm-rooted it.
I also have successfully S-off'd and installed the Juopunut H boot.
As well as sim unlocked my vivid.
I decided i didnt want to mess with any of the kernel mumbo jumbo or roms because i was happy with stock.
But the bluetooth glitch was driving me nuts so i decided to change roms.
I first experimented with a kernel just to see if i fully understood the procedure. Since i was s off i just flashed to CWM but it didnt work.
First, my wifi wouldnt work.
Then i tried the hboot method.
I got stuck in the boot loop. Cleared the cache and everything and nothing worked.
Tried fastbooting and its like it wants to work, it will load up to the preparing apps screen and then freeze on 1 of 8.
I tried flashing the stock rom over the kernel and the wallpaper comes up and the taskbar but thats it.
After that it restarts.
Ive read almost all the threads but no one seems to give a direct answer to this issue.
I REALLY WANT TO AVOID HAVING TO RELOCK AND RUU FLASH.
but if thats what i have to do then i have no choice.
Clearly if that is my only option how do i go about re installing the oem locked hboot?
EDIT:
Ok i got my phone to boot up again by installing the stock deodexed rom. But when i try to install the kernel by faux123 thats when my phone starts acting up.
Note that i am S OFF with the Juopunut hboot and the kernel should work with any rom.
I can flash this kernel through CWM or even fastboot it but no luck

Well ya can't use a different kernel than provided with the ROM for the stock rooted firmware. Extract the boot.img from the .zip and fastboot flash it and then flash the ROM after wiping all the usual partitions.
You should know this stuff if you've been lurking and reading for a while...

Youre right. I was able to do exactly that last night.
Thing is... i decided to go with the raiders rom, flashed it, installed the faux kernel then after reflashed the kernel after the install
via fastboot... it worked last night. wifi and everything.
BUT this morning i go to use my phone and the wifi was stuck yet again on turning on

[Q] S-Off with Hboot 1.28

Hello, I have an HTC Desire C, Fido. I have unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM recovery. The problem I have is no rom I have flashed has successfully booted. It seems I have to turn S off. I have seen methods to do so but not on my Hboot version.
Is it possible to turn S off on Hboot 1.28?

There is no S-OFF on our phone.
boot.img have to be flashed via fastboot

S off doesn't affect ROMs at all, you must be doing something wrong

I have been flashing the boot.img that comes with the rom I got, Nameless 7.4 build1. Here are the steps I take. First wipe all data though recovery, then flash boot.img, then flash .zip. Upon first boot, there is either a boot loop or boot's to a point of "optimizing applications" then restarts.

What is the best rom for use in Canada? I just installed Nameless 7.4 but it freezes and the first HTC splash screen. I dont want stock.

Hi,
I do have a Desire C from Virgin Canada.
I have tried other custom roms - nameless and revolutionmod. Revolutuionmod is better, but I found it unstable. Dont know if the instability came from the rom itself or the kernel.
After a lot a search I found the best option, for now, to return to the stock rom.
I have removed all the junk (with titanium backup) and the phone runs fast and smooth, with quite good battery life.
Suggestions/warnings:
- apply the ota update, if any quickly and BACKUP your working rom; if you modify the rom, or the recovery, you will not be able to install the ota update
- if ever you'd like to go back to stock rom after mdifying rom/recovery, this would be not possible for now because there is not any canadian stock rom for desire c
- if you install any custom rom, the odds are that the wi-fi will not work; you have the flash a custom kernel, such as prometheus kernel from nikhil, to make wi-fi functionnal.

Sense based ROMs will have WiFi with stock kernel, cm based ones won't even boot with a stock or sense kernel.

I personally hate sense so I went with revolution senseless rom 3.5 because wifi was borked in most others but the amazing devs found a fix for it so you might want to wait for all the patches to get applied to the roms to get wifi working before you make your choice. I also experienced some difficulty when I first rooted a desire c and you're having the same difficulties it seems. My problem was in the kernel. Eventually I just flashed completely stock everything with no mods tweaks or anything special and and booted right up. Try not to do anything fancy till you get the hang things
Let me know I you're having further troubles and I would be glad to help you!

For me wi-fi didnt work. Once I flashed nameless rom, then no stock kernel returned the wi-fi back, even if I restored the stock rome backupd earlier. Flashing prometheus kernel brings wi-fi, regardless of the rom (nameless, revolutionmod, stock).
If I flash a stock rom, with its stock kernel, then wi-fi works.

well fwiw i am in canada and had no issue at all with desense rom,and just flashed the cm10 rom yesterday and lovin it!!

Can't Install Roms HELP PLEASE! Huawei U9000 Problems!

Hi I am new to this "romming" business. For my u9000 I installed UtterChaos kernel .32. Most to the roms require .35 kernel. And when I try to install SUT LR 1.8 it never works with windows 8 64 bit. I do have CWM Recovery, and I do have superuser permissions. But for some reason when I try to flash a different kernel like CK Kernel Lebay edition, the whole device gets stuck at boot. Yes I have wiped data, cache and davlik. before doing so. I had to then remove the batteries and put them back to start the phone in download mode to replace the boot image from a back up then go do a CWM restore. And I have tried doing factory resets but the UC kernel boot wont change.
Bottom line is, I AM LOST and I will be using this phone for a long time and I can use a way out of this and I need to find a very fast and stable rom with all working features.
What I have:
- .32 kernel
- UtterChaos kernel
- Custom SU
- CWM Recovery
What I need (please help):
- To get rid of UC kernel (boot, etc...)
- .35 kernel (if possible)
- SUT LR for Windows 8 64bit (if possible)
- A really good rom for heavy gaming, performance, stability, something other than GB (preferably JB or ICS)
I may be asking for too much, and sorry if I am, but I can use some help with this phone right about now.
Thanks in advance!

My answer
You can get 35.7 kernel here, depending on what rom you wish to use. Just flash it along with your preferred rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919097&highlight=kernel
For the rom, it really depends on your preference, because the performance is mostly the same between all the JB roms, smooth enough if you don't install lots of apps that stay in the background. Currently, I'm using the XperienceXperia JB rom. It's about as good as the other JB roms, just with Xperia stuff. Also, make sure that you don't put too much load on it, because it might freeze. No kind of software would be able to magically turn our phone into a gaming powerhouse, because it has an old, outdated gpu to start with. So, don't think about running games like Asphalt 8, because it probably wouldn't run.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2479460
I'm not aware of a Win8 x64 compatible SUT LR, but I don't think you'd need it for anything besides flashing stock roms.
By the way, what rom are you using now? If you flash a cm10 (JB) designed kernel to a GB rom, it would definitely cause problems.
Sorry for the long reply, I don't know how to make it simpler.

THANKS
Hi thanks very much I am using the stock rom. Thank you sir :good:
And I suppose for any rom I flash the corresponding kernel first before I flash a rom?

I'm not sure about the order myself, but I usually flash the rom first, then the kernel. I do this everytime I want to flash a rom, and I've never had any problems. Have you tried flashing one of the JB roms for this device? If you haven't tried, remember to wipe data and cache before flashing the rom, and backup your current rom just in case something goes wrong.
