I'm a newbe to this stuff. Just what is auto-nooting or manual nooting???Does it install a full Android OS??
It roots the stock OS and gives you the ability to install apps from the market.

Autonooter is used with B&N 1.1 if I remember correct.
Manualnooter is used with B&N 1.2 or 1.3.
No. Your NookColor is installed with Android OS as modified by B&N. When rooting, several Android apps and Android Market are installed. Market makes available most Andriod apps. Rooting retains the B&N functions and apps.
Installing other operating systems such as CM7 which utilizes the Android OS is not rooting since the original B&N apps and functions are no longer retained and unusable.
I hope this helps.

Actually installing a custom rom is still rooting as they have root privileges built in. Rooting is not specific to the stock OS.

Hi all,
We have a new firmware, 2.3.20
I think it's enough to write
Regards.
Damn, and I just switched over to UrukDroid. What am I supposed to do now?

switch back to stock or wait until urukdroid devs merged the changes into urukdroid
Some tests with the new firmware should be done.
Can it be downgraded back to 2.1.08?
Is archangel working?
Anybody volunteer to being the Guinea pig?
Because they have changed the format of the Medialibrary, they prevent the downgrade.
Wifi channels above 10 are not working atm.
Otherwiese it feels better.
It looks smoother than before. And I had somr problems with some piano apps before there was no voice with some of them. But now all of them working. I don't know it's related with fw though
On my archos 101 the browser is now much smooter and multi touch zooming is better and everithing is lot faster even some games aren't so laggy.

a) if Archos really closed the leak which archangel was using to gain root privileges, they have to find another leak and you have to wait until they found it
b) you have to use the SDE root method (which will be available as soon as I get my A101IT back from Archos)
c) life without root privileges
I installed 2.3.02, but the downgrade doesn't work (the update is too old...).
Is there an other possibility to downgrade?
No, no downgrade possible.
Does upgrading to newer fw clears/deletes my current files? Im still using 2.0.71 fw.

Nope it won't delete your files
Is this actually still 2.2, despite the release #?
Also, anyone else out there use Move2SD enabler (root) and then do this upgrade? I am a little nervous what will happen with those apps that were previously moved to SD in this non-standard way.
Thanks,

Archos release numbers have nothing to do with what version of Android that is being run.
There is no root in this firmware yet so Move2SD will not work. The regular apps2sd that is built in to Froyo will work though.
Thanks for the quick response.
I still am unclear what will happen with the apps that I already moved prior to the upgrade.

They won't work. At least that is my guess as I have never used that program before.
Is it worth it though?? Your thoughts....
Ok, I have my A101IT rooted via Chulri's way and it's running smooth n' sweet but I have a question about this apparent new updated Firmware Version 2.3.02? Am I correct to have understood that ..."there was a leak but the leak is currently non-existent and you can't get the new 2.3.02 Firmware any more"? If not, where can you get it... (I.E. - Posting a link to it)?
Also, with those of you who have tested this new Firmware 2.3.02 and/or are currently using it on their Archos 70/101IT tablet (granted it's possible to install right now)... is it worth updating to AND other than "not being able to downgrade because of the Media Library issue are there any other reported issues or areas of concern? How about any advantages over Froyo 2.1.08 WITH full Root Access (which is what I currently have)? Would there be any improvements in things such as Overclocking speed and lag issues with this new 2.3.02??
OK that's my first post here,
I had urukdroid 0.7 installed. I restarted in android mode and downloaded the AOS FILE, then restarted an proceeded with the upgrae. I dont have the root rights anymore but can choose to start in android mode (2.3.02) or in developer mode (urukdroid) 2.1.8 , I can remote control the Archos 101 from my Samsung Galaxy S iin android mode not in Urukdroid. The bootloader is 4.04.000000. I hope it helps.
The other problem is that I had to dislable the screen autosleep as it doesn't wake up anymore in android mode (That's not the case in developer Urukdroid mode).
PS: I still have the root rights in Urukdroid (developer mode), I had to clean the Titanium backup cache as it didn't showed anymore the applications.
Hey, newbie with the NC. I just rooted my 1.2 NC and like it. Was wondering about updating the Android OS version. Can I update to a newer version of the Android OS without loosing the stock NC functions???
Nope, its either changing to a completely new rom or staying at rooted stock.

You might as well have updated to stock 1.3 before rooting--you'll just have to root again if you do upgrade.
You can't update the stock software beyond Froyo. I doubt B&N will ever take it up to Gingerbread, but it's not out of the question.
If you want Gingerbread, you can install CM7. You can keep stock while installing CM7 by
installing CM7 on a SD card or
setting up a dual boot on the NC's internal flash card (eMMC).
Either way it would be two different systems, stock and CM7.
Honeycomb is pretty much **** on the NC (NC doesn't have the hardware HC is designed for, and XDA's devs don't have the HC source code).
nook color is rooted. was working fine. one day i was going to use it and i noticed some applications icons were not showing. also when i look in the drawer a number of them are not shown either. when i click on the application it says application not found. what is wrong?
Rooted how? Stock ROM? CM7? If stock it may have received the 1.3 OTA update from B&N.
mm i used manualnooter 4.5.18 so i would be running on 1.2(i think thats right), is cm7 a good one to use? i mainly just wanted it to be rooted to be more tablet like, didn't really need all the customization. i tried the miui one, but its not that good on the nook. not to my liking anyways.
CM7 is great, though if you didn't like miui at all you may not like CM7 either. Sounds like you like the stock interface. In that case, keep it stock. You may have to re-root if you were somehow updated. Go into settings and see what version is on it now.
The 1.3 update is rootable too right. I same steps as 1.2 with the new manual nooter

New to the whole tablet thing, picked up my acer 2 days ago, figured i'd get accustomed to 3.2 before i flashed anything, picked it up pretty quick since 4.0 pulled alot from 3.0. Figured i'd stop in say hello!
It may be a "noobish" question but was curious if any devs planned on porting CM9 or possibly miui 4.0 over to the a500? seeing as these roms will be based off 4.0 it "should" work on both smartphones and tablets alike. Just a thought.
There are already at least two ICS ports in progress, one of which you'll find in the Development section. Go take a look, there's an alpha you can download to try if you want.
You'll need to be rooted and have CWM installed first. The A500 does NOT use the generic CWM, you need the one available here.
Oh, and welcome.
yah already got that, sounded more complicated then it was, hell of a method though i might add. on my sgs i skip the rooting, by just applying cwr with an update.zip then flashing a rooted rom. well i may look into a cm9/miui port after we get official ics. would be easier if i had the tabs drivers all bundled up in a pretty package for me. I don't know we'll see the last time i cooked and played Dev was windows Mobile 5x (i've been on xda awhile lol)
but it brings me to the question would CM9/miui actually be wanted on this device?
i've read a few articles stating that acer is looking to push ics early 2012, has acer been reasonably fast with there prior updates? i'm enjoying the 3.0 ui but it seems as far as skinning and themes goes the OS leaves a bit to be desired when compared to it's phone variant.
Support and follow up from Acer is a case of mixed emotion, like when your mother-in-law drives off a cliff in your new car.
Once they come out with an update, usually after the "expected" date, the stock rom is pretty solid. It is also crammed full of bloatware, and, of course, difficult if not possible to root.
Thank goodness for all the developers here who find a way around it. I would play with what you have, and once you find out its shortcomings, try some of the great roms you will find here. There is no "best" rom until you find the one that does what you want and you can deal with its personality.
I would suggest getting Root Explorer from the market because you can take a given rom and remove what you want. Once you have that, do a backup with CWM and then you always have a restore point.
Welcome to the forum. This is a great tablet in spite of Acer.
yah already have a root explorer, i use Es file explorer, never failed me yet in terms of root access, editing, and deleting or even pushing files into system area's.
so Acer can be a alil slow on updates? I guess thats to be expected most hardware companies seem to take there time on pushing updates out. Yah i noticed the rooting process was alil ass backwards considering my iconia came with 3.2.1 stock out of the box and then i had to revert back to 3.0.1 lol. I'm keeping my rom pretty stock. i mainly just wanted root access to remove bloat and unwanted programs.
also curious here why on earth is Market pulling from 2 different programs?
I have both Vending.apk and finsky.apk both of which appear to be market.
anyway to get a newer version of market installed? I tried pulling the 3.3.11 from Thor's rom but installing .apk's lead to FCing even with proper permissions.

You can try the new market.apk in the attachments on the OP of this thread. It works with stock based 3.2 ROMs.

What minimum app requirement are you referring to? The phone is rooted, and appears to have the Uinput module.

I figure it out. Apparently the current version in the Play Store requires android 4.0 or greater (even though the original version worked on android 2.2). I emailed the developer and he sent me version 3.2.2 (the last version that works with android versions less than 4.0).
