Superuser issue with Fresh 2.0d ROM

Was working and after flashing the new image for Sprint from Flipz it stopped working..
what do i have to do to fix it? can someone guide me please

What is it doing / not doing? It works fine. What steps did you take when you flashed it? What rom did you come from?

Make sure USB Debugging is checked in Settings>Applications >Development

Hey flipz....
I'm on your latest ROM Fresh 2.0d and flashed the new image over it..
Superuser doesn't pop up the allow/deny option whenever i try to run an app that uses it..

PROBLEM SOLVED!
MOD's delete this thread please ..thanks!

Just flashed from the first RegawMOD to Fresh 2.0d on my wife's and had to check it i didn't have to on mine but I've flashed so many times I can't even remember what it was before flashing Fresh. Always wiping before flashing as well.

I was having problems with all my apps that require SU permissions since I installed Fresh 2.0d. I realized that usb debugging was not enabled, but after enabling i was still having problems when the SU window would pop up totally black and just hang there.
What worked for me was enabling usb debugging then going into settings>applications>manage applications, then selecting the Superuser app and clearing the data. Now the Superuser allow/deny window pops up like normal when opening those apps which require permissions.

I have a question that some of you might be able to answer. It got buried in the dc2.05 thread. It's regarding the Superuser Permissions app/utility.
I get allow/deny prompts for various tasks, so the actual function works fine. I'm wondering about the management when I open the Superuser Permissions app. It looks like I can clear a set permission by tapping on the rule. However, it always looks like I only have one rule, which is listed at the top. If I tap on it to clear it, another rule will be displayed. It's as if all my rules are overlapping on the top row.
If I want to clear a single rule, there's a chance I need to clear multiple rules to get to it. Is that how things are supposed to work? I'm guessing all the rules should be displayed in a list; but being new to all this, I could be wrong. Are fresh users seeing this behavior?

Same function for me, just shows one rule at the top. Its been like this on fresh 1.0 and 2.0. Looks like you can only clear one at a time, or all at once in the "manage applications" setting as I described above.

[Q] Need n00bie help with NC rooted 1.2

I'm hoping the flamers will be very gentle on me....
I know very little about command prompts and such and have managed to follow the directions to get my NC rooted using the latest manual nooter and even got my market fixed following the directions so all apps show up. I CAN follow directions, just having a hard time wrapping my head around the different acronyms and such.
Anyways, to my point. I can get angry birds and a few other apps to install. Also, whenever I try to install the Amazon appstore I get an error saying only "For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market." I have put the checkmark in the advanced setting to allow the apps to be installed but it still won't install. Am I missing something? Is there a guide that makes sense out there and can break it down to me what I'm missing?
I apologize for bother everyone with my n00bness.....

is nookcolor tools in /data/app or /system/app?
from the nookcolor tools thread:
"new! to enable the non-market apps checkbox, you need to copy this apk to /system/app."

Since you asked in the right forum, no flames... You have to uncheck and then check that box in order to enable the installation....

I read in a post somewhere (sorry wasn't paying much attention to which one, because I'm on CM7), that there was problems installing certain apps with the SD card mounted after the 1.2 update and manual nooter.....Just something to check out.

[Q] APKs won't sideload via adb or a file manager

So I am trying to load a couple of apks I have and it's been no go. On my Epic I usually just dropbox, open, and install. I tried that and initially got the security message. That is already taken care of via nookcolor tools. So that isn't the issue. My issue is every time I go to install I go to Astro, open the file via the "open app manager," it takes me to the info install page...I click install and it loads into the package installer, excellent...and then it just stalls and the progress bar runs and runs but never progresses. This has happened with every apk I have now tried.
Okay...so I figured I'd just go the little more involved (very little, no need to be that lazy, right) route and adb install. Well carp. All goes well, I adb install blahblah.apk and it starts rolling..."570kb blah..etc pkg /blah/temp/blah"...and just hangs there...never to give me the gratifying "success" message. Again, I have tried this with different apks that I know work and the same results. I restored to stock and rerooted, just in case. Same
I am running stock rooted (manualnooter) at this point, just got the nook day before yesterday (one of the many who jumped at the refurbs). Market apps download fine. I'm a blue dot, if that makes any diff. Likely not but meh.
I have searched and googled and not found the answers...but I know I am missing something elementally simple. My luck I'll look like an idiot and it will be a "did you check to see if you had any gas?" broken down car scenario. I'm okay with that, as long as I'm running again. I'm pretty sure I checked all the out of gas scenarios but I likely missed one or two so... any help is much appreciated. Thanks a ton...
I should know better than trying to write before coffee

Well, My answer is not a "check gas" answer. It's pretty dang weird.
1. Download ES Explorer from the market.
2. Start ES Explorer, hit Menu>Settings. Goto Root Options (NEW) and tick both check boxes. Hit allow when it asks you to.
3. Go back twice, until you see your sd card contents. Find the APK on there and select and hold. Hit copy and then hit the 1st button on the row of buttons (it's an icon of an sd card OR a Home icon) If you see a data folder, go in to it. If not, hit the 1st button again.
3. Once in the data folder, go into the app folder. Pull up the little white tab on the bottom. Tap the APK you wanted to install. It will copy. Once you see the APK's icon in the folder, hit the home button and restart. That should have installed it but it is a slow method. Note that you can Multi-Select APK's by pressing the Multi-select button and pasting them all in the /data/app/ folder.

are you sure you have side loading checked
Settings > applications should be the top box.

I think he already took care of that. And he is on stock, so there is no Applications setting.

ikingblack, thank you, thank you!
Not sure why but by doing this it somehow unsnafued the package installer as well (fingers crossed). I went through your instructions with a known good apk that would not install for anything before. And there it was after the copy, paste reboot etc. Not too much to ask for...still was confused as to the why of the normal package installer method not working. So I decided to give it (package inst) a go with another known working apk (I had just tested it on my epic) that previously wouldn't install, repeatedly, and now it installed just like it should. Scratching my head in wonder. It shouldn't be the reboot, as I have do so many times...the only difference is the install instructions and adding ES (I'm leaving astro behind I think). All I know is it is working and I am a happy camper (tent is in the back yard...) Thanks again! cheers!

Sure. Also, you can select all the APK's using the 2-file icon at the top and tapping the APKs, then press-and hold on one of the APk's and then go to data app, and keep tapping the APK's you wanna copy. And then reboot. Enjoy your Nook!

Thanks for this, it fixed it, but I don't know why.
I suffered this issue on my dell streak.
It was working fine a couple of days ago when I installed GetJar.
Suddenly today for no reason I can determine:
All APK's I tried the install button in the package installer was not grayed out, but it would not respond when pressed.
I've just been setting up my streak again and installing a lot of software. I'm guessing something must of gone wrong.
Someone on another post suggested JuiceDefender may have caused it but I've not installed that recently.
In my case I did:
(1) Installed esFileExplorer
(2) Copied an apk to the folder /data/app/ as described above
(3) restarted the phone
This did not install the app for me.
(4) Tried running the apk file again. Suddenly the Install button is clickable again?! The app then installed just fine.
(5) Tried a different apk (without copying to /data/app/)
Now that will install fine?!
This is really weird. I can't replicate the issue now (which is good!)
but I also can't tell which action fixed it.
As said above it may have been installing esfileexplorer and giving it root access.
It may have been the act of copying the file that reset something.
It wasn't the reboot, at lease not on its own as i'd already tried it.
Regardless, thanks for the info.
If anyone sees this issue again you might want to just try installing esfileexplorer and see if apk's will then install.
This might help us identify which bit of the process is creating the fix.
Just found another suggestion if anyone is interested:
Some suggests using the 'Fix permissions' option of Titanium Backup. I have no way to test this.

android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly

I updated my nook color firmware to 1.41 and then installed the latest CyanogenMod. The nook color boots but I keep getting the message "The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly." I have searched the internet and forums without success. I can not access the apps market.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jim

First I'd Fix Permissions on CWM. No help? Then try this:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications >
Then make sure you look under the all tab. The downloaded tab is the default for me.
It is called Google Services Framework and you clear the data for this one and cache for market.
Start Nook Color Tools.
Select the “All Settings” button.
Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)
Choose “Manage Applications” from the list.
Select the “All” tab.
Scroll down to “Market” and select it.
Tap “Force stop”.
Tap “Clear cache”.
Tap the Back button if you have SoftKeys running, else swipe right to left on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (from the clock to the book icon).
Scroll up to “Google Services Framework” and select it.
Tap “Clear data”.
Tap “OK”.
Tap “Force stop”.
Press the n button to return to your launcher.
Start Market.
At the “An error has occurred” message, tap “OK”.
Hold your power button to turn off your NOOK Color from the menu.
Turn your NOOK Color back on and give it a moment to find your WiFi connection.
Start Market again, and the problem should be resolved.

I updated my nook color firmware to 1.41 and then installed the latest CyanogenMod.

Installed it where? To boot from a SD card? If you installed it internally you didn't need to upgrade to 1.4.1 as it wipes it anyway. How did you install CM7? What version of CWR are you using? What version of CM7?

Still Not working
Skeeterpro and patruns,
I tried all your suggestions and still no luck.
I installed the following:
CyanogenMod-7-11162011-Nightly-encore
Android version 2.3.7
Build GWK74
I used an SD card and installed it internally. It does not run from the SD card. I used an installer program call ClockworkMod v3.0.2.8 to do the installations.
Thanks,
Jim

That is an old version of CWR. It does not perfomr a complete wipe. Use this one and make sure you wipe/format cache, data, system and Davlik: http://www.multiupload.com/N5C1846GH3

Thanks for all your help, I have it working now.

i have the same problem ...how can i fix this ????

I had this problem when I was using an old a-data card after I put a bunch of pictures on it. I tried resinstalling, etc, and nothing helped, even deleting the image files. I eventually installed CM7 to internal/emmc and never had the problem again. If that's not an option, you may want to try a new Sandisk card (if you're currently using something else).

Thanks for the help...it fixed my problem of "android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly" on my LG Optimus 2X when opening Gallery.

I was getting this same error message on my nook color.
Turns out I had forgotten to do a full wipe before the CM9 install. Coming from stock.
If you're an idiot like me then retry it, wiping first (like patruns said), especially if you're coming from stock, since...duh...
thanks patruns!

android.process.media
I hate to ressurect an old thread, but I'm having the same issue with my nook. I've installed CM 7.2.0 on my nook after having this problem. I assumed that it must be an issue with the SD card since nothing I did fixed the problem. Now that the CM is on the tablet proper, it's still popping up. I did everything in the step-by-step given earlier, to no avail.
I'm using TWRP as my booter rather than CWM.

I just ran into the "android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly" loop myself after downgrading from a CM11 nightly to CM10.2.1 (Simpson's Tapped Out wouldn't work on CM11 ) . Opening Google Play Store consistently caused it and closed the play store app before I could interact with it.
I managed to fix it by formatting my uSD card back to FAT32 (along with the various formats etc for a fresh install that didn't work on their own).
I suspect the root cause was formatting my uSD card to exFAT as part of the upgrade to CM11.

[Q] Repartition with ManualNooter 5?

Hi all,
I've been lurking on the site for a couple years and am finally getting the courage to post a question.
I have been using a version of the ManualNooter since I got my NC and it's been going great. I can't bring myself to get rid of the BN software for good. This weekend I decided to wipe it and update all the files finally, so I updated to BN 1.4.3 and MN5, got the market working eventually and made a back-up of the whole thing. I was reading about repartitioning to the older settings to get 5gb of storage for apps, etc and would like to do that because I had just started getting messages that I had no more room on my NC. So I used the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14102514. I restore my backup and it doesn't seem to work anymore, I can see my wallpaper, and the BN menu/home tray but no MN stuff, so I wiped it and tried again and got the same result. So I'm wondering is it even possible to repartition for the extra storage if I'm using ManualNooter? Is an SD card my only option unless I want to do a complete root? Or did I do something wrong somewhere?
Thanks in advance!

If you are having problem restoring your backup, I would just start over. I have a partition repair thread linked in my signature. Do the partition 145678 repair followed by the format 5678 zip. Those will give you the old partition layout with the 5GB media partition. Everything will be blank. Then go to my NC tips thread also linked in my signature and look at item A15. It puts vanilla 1.4.3 stock on the system. Then do mn5 again. Then reinstall your apps manually.

So i did everything you said and it seemed to work, when I go to settings > device info : it says B&N Content Storage Available .92GB and Other Storage Available 5.23GB, is that correct?
Now I just can't get the Android Market to update to Google Play, which it had done previously, and the fix from the ManualNooter5 instructions, below, did not work:
Market has limited visibility - This is a known tablet issue, not just a Nook Color one.
Start Nook Color Tools
Select the "All Settings" button
Unplug your Nook Color from computer. (If Plugged in.)
Choose "Manage Applications" from the list
Select the "All" tab
Scroll down to "Market" and select it
Tap "Force stop"
Tap "Clear cache"
Tap the back button if you have SoftKeys running, else swipe right to left on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (from the clock to the book icon)
Scroll up to "Google Services Framework" and select it
Tap "Clear data"
Tap "OK"
Tap "Force stop"
Press the n button to return to your launcher
Start Market
At the "An error has occurred" message, tap "OK"
Hold your power button to turn off your Nook Color from the menu
Turn your Nook Color back on and give it a moment to find your WiFi connection
Start Market again, and the problem is resolved
So I can't get any apps, how am I supposed to download them manually? Any other ideas? I'm about to give up and just go back to the regular MN and limit the apps I download at a time.
Thanks again!
