[Q] Just a few Hardware related questions - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi, I finally decided to install CM7 on my Nook and have a few questions
1. I installed the latest nightly CM7 using ROM manager , if I want to update to a newer one and restore my current backup (earlier nightly) the new kernel and upgrades done by the newer nightly are going to stay? or I just restored the nightly I already had?
2. How secure is the overclocking thing because I've noticed a little heating on the lower part of my nook near the charging port, also spare parts says that my battery's temperature is 36.6 Celsius is this normal?
3. And last but not least, I installed the app "nook color tweaks", to change the gain on the speaker and headphones, I understand that if I move the settings on that app are gonna be reflected directly on the hardware, if I'm not satisfied with the results can I restore the "factory" settings?
Thanks in advance, I'm a newbie in everything related to Android, but not to technology and want to learn more.
P.S. sorry about my grammar, English isn't my mother language.

36.6 celsius is burning hot! In India, when it's about 100 F, it's maybe 29 C. Turn off the oc, man!

You can either download the latest nightly (and keep gapps on your uSD card)
And manually install the new nightly kind of on top of existing one.
Or you can use rom manager to install the nightlies also.
It has always worked fine for me using rom manager (you need to select Gapps also)

Hi, thanks for your replies, well I removed the overclock and the temperature dropped between 30 and 32 C, I think the weather has to do with this temperatures, I'm located at the north of Mexico and temperatures have been around 35~36C.
Also, when updating do I need to wipe cahe and data or just flash the nightlies?

just flash.

You don't need to wipe Dalvik but it recommended to wipe cache, yes, when updating nightly builds

36.6 C is about 98 F. That's not quite "burning hot"...

[Q] CWM problem

Good day all. I recently bought a Nook Color. I'm running CM7.0.2 along with gapps 20110613 from a 16gb SanDisk class 4 SD. When set up the apps (after enabling wifi) I got an error, due to the fact that my sucky router dropped the signal. As a result of this I was not able to download gmail, google maps, etc. My android market runs perfectly but I wanted to flash gapps so as to download gmail and the others. I went into ROM manager and updated to the latest CWM. However, no matter what I do I can't but into recovery. I tried n+power button, reboot into recovery from the power button menu, and from within ROM manager. All no go...it just booted into CM7, so I removed the SD card to boot into stock Nook 1.2 software. When I did this it brought me to the CWM recovery menu (SD card not in). Of course I could not select anything on the menu. Put back in the SD while still in the menu to try select an option but nothing. Shut it down by holding the power button and booted it back up and it went str8 into CM7. Shut down took out SD and it booted into stock Nook 1.2 software. What am I doing wrong guys? I'm trying to flash the overclock kernel and reflash gapps. THANKS
Could the reason gmail, youtube, googlemaps didn't install on setup be due to the fact that I'm not in the USA? If so I'd still like to know what the problem is so I can flash the overclock kernel.
No one has any idea? I know one option is to backup and redo everything, but I'd really like some troubleshooting ideas before.
Did you use the 1.3 image from verygreens thread? If so the old 7.0.* stables are not supported. You will need to back up and redo it either with the old image or a new CM7 version.

Yea I used the 1.3 in the thread with 7.0.2. What version cm7 would I need to use with the 1.3? 7.0.3 or a nightly,? Where would I be able to find an older image to work with 7.0.2 and what version of the image should it be?
The 1.3 image won't work with any 7.0.* versions. You should upgrade to either a recent nightly or the 7.1.0 RC. You could find an older image somewhere but there isn't much of a point as you would have to redo it all anyway so why not upgrade? Plus your battery life will improve by a lot as 7.1 RC and the nightlys have deep sleep.

As I said many times to newbie who runs CM7 off uSD that do not or should not mess up with ROM Manager. In fact, there are members also confirm that if booting off uSD, ROM Manager has no effect.
Based on what you, OP, described, you had flashed the CwM into the internal memory.
Keep your fingers crossed as I do hope you didn't screw up anything else.
Anyway, using verygreen's 1.3 image along with the latest nightly-built CM7 and the latest 06132001 gapps and boot it off uSD again. You should be fine.
Before that, fix your home wireless network first.
I decided to just go with 7.1RC1 since I wanted the better battery life. Is there a way to check about the CWM on the internal and how would I go about removing it if I did? I ask for warranty purposes ofcourse since I opted for the 2 year extended one. Also to flash upgrades and such, since you don't recomend using ROM manager then how should I go about doing it (i.e. overclocking kernel)?

1. I never have any issue related to battery with any nightly build that I've ever used. I am currently having the nb153 and it is fantastic.
2. Check CwM and how to remove off the internal memory? I don't know any quick way except restoring the original ROM.
Again, for warranty purposes, strongly suggest running off uSD
3. Updating by loading/copying/dragging the updated files onto the root folder (aka "boot" partition), then TRY loading into Recovery by:
a. combination of power/N buttons if you have skill or
b. let it boot normally into CM7, wait until completely loaded, then reboot and select "recovery" option. Keep yr fingers crossed. This is an easy method but if it doesn't work then option a is the only choice.
Sorry the battery issue was as compared to the current CM7 stable not the nightly. I got everything installed so far besides the overclock kernel. So I will try your recommendation for booting into recovery not using ROM manager.
You don't flash anything when running off an sd card you just boot into recovery and then reboot. Easiest way to get the overclock kernel would be to just upgrade to the latest nightly.

You're not flashing your Rom correctly. I told you this in Thor's forum (at least the exact post was there also, so I suspect it's you, if it's not you, then accept my apologies ).
The reason it keeps telling you that a certain Rom/kernel is installed, is because it seems like you're just flashing one over the top of another without cleaning anything out. This is why your cpu overheats. You've got a corrupted OS.
Also, a Kernel image is not a Rom. And there are 2 types of kernels. 1 for a stock rom, and 1 for a cooked rom. You shouldn't mix the 2 or you may get problems depending on the rom. Another reason why your cpu overheats.
Do this. Put your SD in your PC's card reader, and format it to Fat32. Reason, is that I have absolutely no idea what you have on your sd. Update.zips, Kernels, Roms, etc.
Copy your VillainRom or Revolver Rom or Taboonay Rom (or whatever rom you want to use) to your SD, then put it back in your 500.
When you flash a new rom, you boot to CWM.
Wipe User Data
Wipe Cache Partition
Goto Advanced and Wipe Delvik
I like to do each a couple of times, just to be sure.
Then go back to the previous menu, and select "Install zip from sd"
Choose your rom and install it.
All three of the above roms come with a cooked kernel so you shouldn't have to mess with kernels.
Also, if you wish to install a different cooked kernel, you only need to wipe Delvik before installing.
Also, Install the rom first and let it run for awhile before installing a kernel. Never do both at the same time.
And the final rule, if you used a backup program like Titanium Backup or any of the others, Never Ever backup and restore system files to a different rom.
But, if you want to put it back to stock, the I suppose you can use the acer recovery tool to flash a stock acer rom and flash the stock recovery image. For more info, see this thread;

Gen1 to Gen2 TPT Upgrade

Sorry for the new thread, but I can't post in the dev section yet - this is really a follow up to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258855 - maybe someone can move it?
I just used the following zip file and it worked well:
CM Nightly 257 Version (Upgrades from Gen1 to Gen2 & installs latest CyanogenMod nightly build - all in one)
Download: cm7-n257-blade-gen1-to-gen2-tpt.zip mirror
Download size: 107.8 MB
MD5: 813ba810ca0a596da4eb6ea7e47205a1
SHA1: 11030dff7b48c79463185b25fc848d488fe77768
A couple of things that weren't clear from the Instructions section (which presumably apply rather to the non all-in-one versions - haven't tried personally) were
a) Does not "reboot into ClockworkMod recovery", rather direct into CM Nightly 257, and
b) Wipes data - presumably must have done because the boot into CM was successful.
This is all very good and nicely automated; could just amend the instructions to be something like:
It should take a few seconds to flash the new Gen2 firmware (you should see some green text), then it should either reboot into ClockworkMod recovery, use that to wipe data & then install your Gen2 rom (for the custom and stock versions), or reboot into CM Nightly 257, no need to wipe or install the CM rom oneself (for the all-in-one).
All in all a great piece of work.
New here and also wish i could post on that thread as i found it extremely useful and it persuaded me to make the jump and finally upgrade my San Francisco.
It honestly feels like a new phone now, after running stock orange 2.1 since i got it about 10months back with some tweaks to launcher etc. I wish id done this a lot sooner. I also used the nightly 257 rom.
I was also (initially alarmed!) a little confused about the points a) and b) you raised above as mine also seemed to skip those steps and just launch straight into the mod. All well and good though this has now left me wondering if the step b was vital. Prior to this on a fresh start and after using Advanced Task Killer to kill all the crap id be looking at around 300mb free memory. Since the new ROM i now have 173mb free in Advanced Task Killer. Odd since i dont have a fraction of the amount of stuff on the phone considering all the stuff that came preloaded with Orange etc.
I dare say the new OS may have a larger footprint. Though my main concern is that as I somehow skipped the part where it says
"then it should reboot into ClockworkMod recovery, use that to wipe data & then install your Gen2 rom." I wonder if this means not all the old ROM has been erased and results in my limited memory.
If i check under Settings > Storage it gives me 294 Total with 203 free under internal storage. Wish id thought to check this value prior to install...
That aside it all works great and im delighted with it.
OK, what do you want free memory for? You should realise that is memory that you have paid for which isn't in use - wasted memory in other words. Android 2.3 uses more ram, when nothing else wants to use it, in order to make your phone run faster, that is a good thing. If you want to use an app which requires a lot of memory then android will free it automatically.
Don't use task killers, they harm system performance by working against Android's own memory & task management system (which is better than any task killer), reduce battery life, cause bugs & you wont get any support at all from anybody involved with Cyanogenmod if you use one.
The all in one version that includes a rom starts straight into that rom, that should be pretty obvious.
It will wipe your data, if you're updating from Android 2.1 then it'll wipe everything. Otherwise it'll miss any apps on your sd card, that's the only reason i say to wipe data - if you're coming from stock Android 2.1 then you can't have any apps on your sd card, so it makes no difference.
Stock Android 2.1 phones have 207mb internal storage ( /data) in total, you gain almost 90mb. The stock Orange bloat apps use up more room (dalvik cache) too, so you end up with much more room to install your own apps & games.
Unable to convert Gen1 -> Gen2 via TPT
Hi all,
I didn't want to start new thread, so I'll post here. In short - I'm unable to convert my Gen1 Blade to Gen2 using wbaw's TPT method.
I followed instructions carefully, tried 2 different zips (Gen1-to-Gen2-TPT-v10-custom, cm7-n257-blade-gen1-to-gen2), used 3 different microSD cards (1GB, 2GB, 8 GB class 4) and still nothing.
Image folder is on the card, all MD5s do match, I turn off the phone, wait few sec (I even took the battery out few times), press and hold menu&vol+ and then power, red power led is on, then green robot shows up, and... nothing, no green text on the screen, just few seconds later my Gen1 ROM is booting.
Any ideas?
make sure that you keep holding menu & vol+ when you press power. that's the only thing i can think of, unless your phone is already gen2. a few sd cards dont work with it, but it shouldn't be that hard to find one that does.
Thanks for the answer, wbaw.
I am holding both - menu (the one in the middle, between home and back) & Vol+ - then I press and hold power, after few seconds I let the power go but keep holding the other two. After few another seconds (while green robot is visible) a regular boot animation shows up.
My phone is definitely Gen1, as I recently installed G1 ROM (mmhmp) and previously used Mr. Pigfish, both report Gen1.
I just reformatted my stock Transcend 2GB card in CWM, put only 'image' folder with all files (MD5s are ok) and still no go. What the hell?....
Btw. I'm using 3.0.2.8 CWM. Does it make any difference? I'm running out of ideas.. what else can I check?
No idea then, sounds like you're doing everything right. The flashing should happen before the green robot shows up, if the robot comes up straight away then it's already failed to flash anything & you have to try again. It's a zte flashing program, built into one of the first bootloaders (the green robot is displayed by a later bootloader), you need to be holding vol+ & menu when you turn it on & for about a second after that, then you can let go. You should see some green text, or maybe just a black screen, then after a minute or two a big version of the green robot & clockworkmod 5.
Clockworkmod is irrelevant, it's a different zte flashing process.
Only thing I can suggest is try another sdcard. I know a few people have reported it didn't work with their sdcard, but it was only a few people & it worked with the 2nd or 3rd sdcard they tried. I got a verbatim 2gb with my phone, that works, sandisk 8gb class 2 works too & so does my new 16gb class 10 verbatim.
If everything fails & you must update to gen2, then there are some windows software phone update packages that let you update your phone using your windows pc. Those packages & instructions are in the zte blade section at modaco.com. It's a bit harder, slightly riskier, but hopefully it'll work.
I just tried another card, some noname 512MB from my old Nokia (I didn't even realized I have so many microSD cards...) and unfortunately this one is also no good. Damn....
So, TPT is built-in and should work with all Gen1 ZTE's no matter what ROM or CWM I'm using, right? Is there any possibility I accidentally removed/erased or destroyed part of it?
I didn't even flash that much, from stock Blade (well, I removed simlock), I installed CWM and went to Swedish Spring (half a year ago). Now I've decided to move forward, installed Gen1 MMHMP, but decided to give CM a try. As you can see not much of a history, therefore I'm even more surprised TPT is not working in my case...
Is there a way to tell this flasher actually works? Something other than just putting gen-to-gen converter image? Any troubleshooting you may think of?
Edit: Tried another card (that's already 5th card!!), 8GB class 4 - no go... I don't think it's a problem with microSD card anymore... it has to be something else.
It turns out TPT is not available on my Blade (some European versions lacking TPT were reported). Anyway, I have successfully converted to Gen 2 using Windows/FTM method. I didn't find it hard, it's just a bit more hassle with repeated flashing. All went good, no need to fear.
Thanks!
Hi, sorry to thread hijack the thread hijack, but I too have a question about this process and can't post in the dev forum.
I just followed the all-in-one process on my girlfriend's brand new stock Orange San Francisco, and it worked flawlessly. I'm now wanting to do the same to mine, but it isn't stock; it has ClockwordMod (3.x, I think) and a FlibbleSan ROM from Modaco installed (Gen1).
What (if any) different steps do I have to take to get everything rolling on my own device? Apologies if it's a stupid question, I was just spooked by the parts about not using it on operator upgraded 2.2 devices and wondered if the same disclaimer applied to user updated phones.
(Merry Christmas )
Never mind, I took the plunge and everything works fine.
Random Reboots after Upgrade
Can't post in Dev forum either so posting here.
I had updated my blade last year from Orange stock to JJF, still GEN1.
I followed the all-in-one process to get to GEN2 CM7 build 257 and all has worked well.
The only issue I am seeing now is random reboots every day or so.
Any ideas? Known issue or fix?

Ok so I used ROM Manager and installed CyanogenMod 7 V7.1.0 as that is meant to be stable, wiped data/cache/etc via the process.
All was well until I needed to make a call, screen keeps going black and I need to remove battery to resolve?

Sounds like you need to calibrate the proximity sensor. I think there should be a ZTE Blade settings app that you use to do it.
Probably better to flash one of the latest self-compiled versions of CM7. Its been a while since nightlies were made, but lots of new stuff has been added/fixed since 7.1.0 RCs/stable.

Like Amphoras says calibrate your proximity sensor in the ZTE Blade Settings app. That should do. If you still have a problem,flash the 257 nightly or any other ROM if you don't like CM.

some mean questions??? about MOTO-Defy

hi, what's about moto defy?
1-when you flashing your defy to SBF can you flash it back again to another SBF "is any condition"
2-does the Firmware's updating relate to your kernel version and lens color
3-when you installing new android (rom) "update.zip from SD card" can you install again another rom "is any condition"
thank you guys for you are giving me that opportunity

1. When flashing a full SBF with RSD Lite you need to be careful about the bootloader version, some don't allow rooting or going back to older versions.
2. These are Android versions, and yes, Gingerbread has a newer kernel and only red lens works with it.
3. Well, you can go from one ROM to another but you need to wipe everything then (Data, Cache and Dalvik cache). If you go from a nightly to another (we're talking about the same ROM here) you need to wipe only Cache and Dalvik cache.

Just follow some CM7 guides (lots of them out there)
, make sure you know what you're doing, make a nandroid backup
of current rom and you should be fine
Sure you can. You'll find the CM7 thread (started by quarx) in the Development section. Instructions are there too. I would've given you the direct link, but I'm posting this from my Defy .
From what I remember, since you're on 2.2, you need to root your phone, then install 2nd Init. After that, just copy the CM7 stable .zip and gapps on your SD card and flash them through the bootmenu, after wiping everything (you'll lose all data if it's not backed up with something like Titanium Backup).
LE: Yes, doing a nandroid backup before moving to Gingerbread is a good precaution measure.

what are the most stable and good rom "CM7/MIUI/CM9..."
what do you think by you personal experience
Stable: cm7
Beautiful: miui
Smooth and reliable: definitely NOT CM7
Sent from my MB526 using XDA
I was pleased with the stability of CM7.2 (version from 27 February by maniac).
Now I'm using CM9 (05.03 by quarx, Froyo kernel), and while it has a few bugs it can be used as a day to day ROM .
You can also flash CM7.2 and then multiboot with CM9, to test both.
Trimis de pe Defy CM9
thank you, i appreciate
so what do you think is the right one in this case ?
"i mean when you have a green lens and firmware 2.2.2"
Because you are new to this, you should go for CM7.2 (Android 2.3.7), it's stable and fast.
When you'll learn more about your phone you can flash CM9 (and this ROM is getting better and better with time).
Good luck.

ThANks mAn you'R genius.
i was asking for this stuff before and labsin answer me with "this" but i did not understand these steps "\\5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select CM7..... .zip and let it finish.
(for CM7: Do 6 again with the gapps zip and the CM7kernel.zip)
6. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!//"
can you help me!!!
Well, I assume you want to install CM7.2, starting from Froyo.
Step 5 means that you need to flash CM7.zip (stable first, as it includes the CM7 kernel too, then you go with a nightly - I recommend the one from 27 of February by maniac).
Then you need to go back one step and select "choose zip from sd card" again, and select the gapps (the ones from 08.2011 for CM7, you'll find them in the main thread) to flash them too. This is like step 5.1.
Step 6 means you need to Wipe Cache, and after that go to Advanced and select Wipe Dalvik Cache. After these 2 wipes, you can reboot (don't worry, it'll take a around 8 minutes - this is happening for the first boot after wiping cache/Dalvik cache and flashing a new ROM).
But I recommend that you do a nandroid and then wipe everything before flashing CM7 (Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache) and after flashing CM7 and gapps, wipe again only Cache and Dalvik Cache to prevent errors.
thank you vap_66 you are the best
i just now complete the updating as you help me thanks again.
the CM7 latest nightly "CM72-20120304-NIGHTLY-Defy" is wonderful but the WiFi dose not work and the video-camera dose not work too
what do you think
Good, you made it .
I've read that the camera app had some issues in the latest nightlies, but you could try to clear data on it (from Manage Apps - I forgot what it was called in CM7). If not, flash another nightly. I was satisfied with a nightly from 27 February by maniac, you could try that.
What do you mean with "Wifi not working"?
Trimis de pe Defy CM9
thanks bro
"Wifi not working"***
*when i connect to WiFi, it's connecting "showing name,IP... and looks it's connected" but when i go to the browser or any thing has retaliation to WiFi connection, my defy says no connection, then i back to sitting>wireless...>WiFi settings>"i found my WiFi network are not connected and WiFi scanning!"
Hm, kinda weird. Did it work before with this wifi network? You could try to forget it and search for it again, this worked once for me. If not, I'm out of ideas - you could try another nightly as an ultimate solution.

Is he on a nightly? I remember the nighties used to have like, massive wifi problems. That's why I used stable instead.
Sent from my MB526 using XDA
No wifi is weird with that nightly, Epsylon's 0304. I was using it from release until yesterday when I started using the latest kang cherrypick (real stable and reliable for past 30 hours) to do preliminary testing for a White Rabbit 1.4 port to the Bravo.
Btw, wifi and data tethering are the two most important things for me. The wifi problem may have been with how the roms now handle wifi when the screen is off, they disable it until the screen comes back on. Maybe it just didn't initialize? I'd never notice if it ever glitched like that because I use Wifi Keep Alive to keep my wifi on when the screen is off and I'm tethering. Just a thought anyways.
Good luck on your journey into the world of custom roms. Remember, take your time, read carefully, and always nandroid before a flash.
thanks guys i repeat all the steps again, and now it's fine videocam works and WiFi too
thanks again

Problems after flashing EliteMod Kernel ICS 120704

Hi all,
first of all sorry for posting here and not in the EliteMod Thread. But i have to post 10 times and then ........
After flashing the new kernel i´m missing a lot of apps?!?!?!
No matter how i flash (wipe data/dalvik or wipe nothing) the apps are missing. I use dataswap (64mb) if necessary.
The apps i miss are Titianium Backup, Terminal, Gentle Alarm and so on.
I dont know why this is happens. Until now every new kernel or Elitemod Rom was fine.
I normally flash via 4ext recovery, but same via RomManager.
Any tipps or help??
BTW: I really love the work from Nikr. His EliteMod Rom and tweaks are really the best i´ve seen so long.
thx for help and keep flashing :fingers-crossed:
If you did a full wipe and installed a fresh new Rom then course you're going to be missing apps until you re-install them. Or at the very least install the titanium backup app then running a restore for the apps.
Though with a kernel-only flash (i.e.: that new one the other day) you shouldn't be wiping data/etc to flash it.
Maybe a little more details on your problem?
Hi,
thx for the quick respond.
I downloaded kernel zip and put it on the sdcard. After that boot into recovery and choose install zip from sdcard.
Thats was the normal way for kernels. But if i do this now i miss a lot of apps.
I tried to wipe only dalvik and flash, same result. I tried to wipe dalvik/data and flash, same result.
Only changes till the last rom flash i did, was to pull down the LCD destiny from 240 to 210 via Rom Toolbox.
It wouldn´t be such a big deal, but the apps i miss i also couldn´t find in the market. If i search for Titanium Backup nothing appears. Same for Gentle Alarm and so on.
I flash Roms for over 1 year now, but something like that never happend
the change in dpi will affect some apps as "not avalaible" as the are only able to work with certain densities. maybe change this and see what happens

Today was a new Kernel Version released and everything is fine now.
Looks like there was a kernel problem with apps on stored on the sd card.
thx for help anyway
