I have been successfully using JZ054K as my fulltime OS on my original NC since soon after they went to "Nightlies".
However, now that I went to the newest Netflicks update (2.1.0?), all I now get is the opening red screen and a permantly spinning circle. My older version of Netflicks worked fine with the initial nightlies and somehow this newest version did an auto update which I had previously avoided.
Any help would certainly be appreciated with "thanks" in advance.

Netflix had a nasty habit of doing that. There are some Netflix threads where some users have hacked the old version so it will not update itself. Let me see if I can find it.

I followed the link and d/l the apk. However, since it has been ages since I have had to sideload an app, how is that now done under Jelly Bean on my NC?

Just copy to the nook if you havent yet, and open the apk with your file manager. It will ask if you want to install it. Let it. If it runs into an error, go to settings and uninstall the one there first.

Thanks!!!
The black screen version of Netflicks is now installed and working!
I assume this app is locked to preclude updating?
Also have noticed you are using what I will finally be moving to in early February when I get my tax return. The 8.9 has always been my "trade paper" screen size sweet spot for reading and films. Thought that by waiting, there would be a good chance of the HD+ being fully rooted by then.
Until then, I will enjoy my JB rooted original NC that now can (once again) play the Netflicks app.
I very much appreciate the assist.

It's not really locked, but they made the version R999 so any new version thinks it is even newer. So should not upgrade itself.
And this Nook HD+ is super. I am using rooted stock now and I think CM10 on SD is just around the corner.

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

Now the question I am wondering is... Is it worth it? Potentially sacrificing root and CWR? I have been running 0.0.7.3 CM9 build for many months now and am curious to what you all think.
Pros/Cons? I've heard battery life is terrible, which is odd because I feel like I have good battery life on the CM9 Port. Also... Is root completely gone? Does OTA Rootkeeper help? My biggest concern (I'd probably even lose root if it is fixed), does the pen work as advertised? Or is the infamous 'pen wonk' bug still present?
Pen wonk = writing notes for ~10-15 minutes, pen is suddenly not responsive. Sleep/waking the device fixes it usually. This has been present in every stock Honeycomb build as well as all the CM9 Port builds so I am very curious if this is fixed because I believe it is a hardware issue (Lenovo please prove me wrong). Any info would be much appreciated.

I was able to go from a rooted, CWM'd device (US 64GB) to a fully rooted device without CWM.
After a few painful steps to get an old busybox file restored and stock recovery enabled, the upgrade process was very simple and so far it is working very well with ICS. There hasn't been enough time to judge battery life yet....
Make sure you follow the instructions that other's have posted about using RootKeeper. That is the only thing I needed to use to restore root perfectly.

I updated with CWR rather than reverting to stock recovery. Everything worked fine. However, it did get rid of the stock recovery.

That is good news about the ability to keep root. At least in keeping root, we should theoretically be able to restore CWR.

I did not have CWR to start.
I downloaded the update through the "update" menu on the device.
Update failed due to gps.conf being modified.
Reverted to what I thought was old gps.conf, update still failed.
Install CWR
Try update through CWR
Still fail, due to indigo being required in build.prop (this error is caused by CWR)
Commented out the Indigo lines in the update-script in the update
Flashed again
Still failed for gps.conf.
Commented out each line in update-script mentioning gps.conf
flashed again, it worked.
I take you flashed 310 first then 400?
Where is the script located?

Hi
I recently bought a Nexus 7 that came with 4.1.1. I updated ota to 4.1.2 then rooted with a toolkit. For reasons I can't remember I then un-rooted and locked back bootloader. Now, games like dead trigger tell me my device is incompatible with them, even though they ran well on 4.1.1.
What can I do ? Flash another stock version of 4.1.2 ?
Thank you
I don't think there is any link between your root status and software compatibility, you could flash the 4.1.2 stock image to be sure, but I think it more likely that your game needs to be updated.
Rooting does not change your build.prop fingerprint, but the update to 4.1.2 does. This is what the market uses to judge what software will run on your device along with your locale.

There's a lot of things that aren’t compatible with 4.1.2. I'm still running them. You can make a back up the next time to keep the apps. Or use app back up and restore to make a apk and install it on your N7.

Hello TPT community,
I Just got this tablet mainly because of the included digitizer and was wondering if anyone could give me a guideline on how to speed things up for this tablet. The tablet came with honeycomb 3.1 included and I am finding it pretty sluggish and unresponsive in general tasks. I went into settings to do a software update but it seems there is no 4.0 update available. There doesn't seem to be a toggle for pen only input in the settings either. Is the normal process for flashing a new Rom to root, then install CWM, and flash Roms?
I'm kind of a n00b here, but that is the right process in general.
For you, there should be a 4.0 update, but you might have to try a few times. After you are running ICS (4.0) you can root and load Koshu's JB rom.
Aren't there problems with rooting ICS?

Apparently the Tiger Direct refurb is a custom SKU and is SUPPOSEDLY not upgradeable... tho I would think there are ways around that. At least now I know what we are working with here.

So any ideas on how to update to ICS? The ROM in android development section says it requires me to have ICS first.
Unfortunately no... sorry. I'm still a n00b with android devices. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge will chime in now that we know what we are dealing with.
You can root your tablet and go straight to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2. It's fast and cool! The only little bug is with wifi!

The wifi bug actually isn't that big, just set wifi to always on like suggested. As far as the tampered drivers error, you will probably have to : a) search for a way to install unsigned drivers on win8
or b) use a winxp/win7 pc.
Be careful tho... flashing after having stock ICS is needed for a reason.
Flashing what?

I was worried you were gonna try to just jump straight to JB.
Hey there,
well one way is to try flashing the upgrade directly but like da_reeseboy already mentioned, there is a high possibility that it will fail. Only other way would be to flash the bootloader directly (that most likely the part, that keeps the JB kernel from booting on non ICS kernels) but there is a high bricking chance and eventually the firmware for some of the hardware needs to be updated, too, to work properly.
It looks like there's hope - this guy has the same weird software version as you - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37487649&postcount=6. He used the directions in that thread to upgrade to ICS.

Just trying to think outside the box (noob style), what if he:
1. Installed CWM
2. Restored a clean 0075 nandroid from someone here on xda
3. Restored stock recovery
4. Checked for OTA to ICS
In my mind the software version is what is holding him back from updates, so I'm thinking that restoring an 0075 nandroid will put him in a position to get the update correctly... but I am still new to this so I could be WAY off.

Thanks for still helping! Do I need a special CWM? I just root and install CWM from the market? Honeycomb is really annoying because some apps I use are only for newer androids such as Hulu plus.
I grabbed my kindle this morning to find that it had updated and I had lost root. I'm not sure if my device had restarted but I was able to regain root by running towelroot. HDXposed appears to be functioning again but some of my apps are acting a little jittery after the sudden loss of root. (Fixed by clearing cache)
I don't have much more information atm though.
[Update]: My kindle automatically rebooted shortly after posting the above information. Luckily I didn't lose root afterwards. I had to reinstall google play and google services but everything has been running smooth since.
