if i were you, i would try the cm6 fix. the instructions for this fix or workaround or whatever you want to call it have been posted numerous times in this thread.

thanks for the reply. i did the cm6 install and then loaded nightly 23. GPS was working. worked great but had to download and install all these apps that weren't backed up properly fom titanium and just had to redo the whole phone, contacts, everything. pain in the butt. then i learned that once on a nightly, all you do is wipe cache, diviak and bam....load new nightly. so i went from 23 now onto the new CM7 RC1 without redoing any apps and contacts and what not. awesome. so zervic, your telling me if i do the cm6 fix, i have to do factory reset and do the whole thing over again as in restoring everything? or can i just wipe cache and divack, and install cm6?

incorrect. you do not have to factory reset. the reason for this is because, you take a nandroid backup of your cm7 before you wipe your data, after the install of cm6 you'll be restoring that back up, settings, apps, etc included. I would search to find the exact steps for this "cm6 fix" though...but yea, do not worry about your apps and all that, they will be backed up. also. factory reset from clockwork, not from within the phone (i.e. in the ROM). if you do that, it wipes your SIM too..

[Q] can't install nightlys

I recovered back to froyo from cm7 7.0.3 thinking I would give the gingerbread update a try. After seeing what bugs they had on gingerbread I went back fresh to cm7. I have cm7 7.0.3 on it no problem but when I try to put the newest nightly on it it does'nt do anything. It will download the nightly but when I tap it to install it say it will boot into recovery but dose'nt. I've tried it with 86,87 nightlys and it has done the same thing. Any help would be nice. Thanks.

Im guessing you are using ROM manager. If you are, dont. Just download the nightly zip from the thread on here for cm7, place on your sd card, reboot into recovery, nandroid, wipe cache and dalvik, and flash.

This. ROM manager, while convenient, is kind of a plague to us. This is because people learn to do all of their recovery based work through it and never learn how to work with the recovery (obvious by the fact that you haven't just booted into recovery and done it yourself, OP).
So do as this smart poster says.

I have done that in the past. It's just much easier to do it through rom manager. Used it several times before with no problems.

Have you tried clearing the data and cache with ROM manager and trying again?

Well now you ARE having a problem. And it's really not that much easier. Again, download zip, reboot to recovery, nandroid, clear cache and dalvik, and flash. Literally takes maybe 10 seconds more than Rom manager.

[Q] Phiremod to Nightly

I recently bought a used Nook Color online and it came with Phiremod 6.3 installed. The main concern for me is the audio. I use a pair of sensitive IEMs and the hiss from the headphone jack is crazy loud.
I read that Nook Tweaks could solve this problem, but it turns out that Nook Tweaks doesn't support my version. This leads to my current question.
How would I go from Phiremod to the CM7 nightly builds? I have read from a thread that I must start from scratch, but I do not know where to begin. I have never rooted an Android product before. In fact, the Nook Color is my first Android product. I have knowledge of jailbreaking iOS products, but that's about it.
Do I simply follow this guide? Link
I am backing up my apps with TitaniumBackup at the moment. What else would I need to back up to be safe?
TL;DR
1. Do I follow thisguide to go from Phiremod to CM7 Nightly?
2. What programs besides TitaniumBackup should I use to back up my current data on my Nook?

Daily bump. If no replies, I'll just try it out for myself

You didn't mention if you were running phiremod on Emmc, or your SD card. If it is on emmc then just download cm7, and go into recovery . Wipe data, cache, and dalvic cache. Flash cm7, flash Google apps, flash kernel if you want, and reboot. Hope that helps.

Sadly, its too late now, but i will mention that had you had any programs/data you wanted on there, the "Wipe Data" step is fully unneeded, and only results you wasting time re-installing everything. Phiremod IS CM7, with some different skinning. Flashing over Phire is the same as flashing any nightly; wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash, good to go.

It didn't take me too long to reinstall everything. I just restored it through TitaniumBackup which took about 5 minutes. My Nook was still fairly new so I didn't have much on it. Thanks for that bit of information though

No CM9 Roms work for me

Hey all,
Well title pretty much says it all, whenever I try install any CM9 based roms they always freeze while booting.
CM7 roms install and work fine but I would prefer to install a CM9 rom.
Am I missing something?
Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening?
I am wiping dalvik, cache and data.
Thanks

Try adding "Factory reset" to that list and flash this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563137
If it works fine, try another (prior wiping caches + factory reset...)

Make sure the kernel you using supports cm

Alright downloading now, hopefully this will work.
Edit:
Didn't work for me, I never saw a boot logo/animation.

What kernel do you recommend?

I actually have the same problem. This CM9 rom works, but its the only one that does. The others don't load for some reason. It almost always freezes in the bootanimation at some point. If it ever gets past the bootanimation it will freeze at "Verifiying apps"

I've been having the same problem for two weeks now, if anyone can solve this I would really appreciate it

I actually had it load completely after verifying apps, but once I rebooted it always froze at the boot animation.

Have you checked the check sum of the downloaded ROM?

Wipe dalvik, cache, factory reset
Then go to mounts, format everything there except for your SD card (this is from memory just doing it once on the KF so don't wipe anything else that might be important).
THEN instill the rom.

I have the same problem too, all the ics roms do not work except for the one stated in this thread previously and the Hellfire ics rom.
It gets stuck at the boot screen.. I have tried wiping everything including sdcard..
And also, my kindle hangs frequently when running 3d games and I have to hold the power button to force shutdown it..
Is it a problem with the kernel?
The notifications button at the bottom right corner is also very unresponsive, I have to press it several times to open the menu..

I second this. Redownload the file. This is only if you've formatted EVERYTHING as previously stated.
Just curious, what recovery are you guys using? If you're not on CWM I'd switch over and give it a go. Maybe you're getting improper wipes.

how long are you guys waiting till you say its freezing most roms while booting up for the first time the boot animation isnt long enough for the installation process and will stop but if you wait a few min it will boot right up... that first boot is when it builds its cache and davlik cache so it takes some time

About 10 minutes or so, I even let it one time go for 30mins.
It still didn't work.

Its not that I'm not waiting long enough for the boot animation or anything. For example it will load up some the first time and get all the way past the spinning circle on the CM9 boot animation and get stuck on the "verifying apps" screen. Other times that i try to boot it it will get stuck with just the little android and the circle around him, not even 2 full seconds into the boot animation.

The "Verifying apps" afaik should not be showing up on a fresh install. That only happens to me when I upgrade to a comparable rom I.e. one cm9 rom to another cm9 rom. Correct me if I'm wrong but what that sounds like is the os is choking on some left over apps.

Nice first post!
All signs are pointing to a ****ty wipe. The recovery's fault, so long as you didn't forget to wipe everything under mounts.

Install Kaos droid

I'm currently running paranoid android but would like to switch over to this rom
How would I go about installing this? Wipe data, both caches then flash the latest version of the ROM? Do I need to flash gapps as well?
I did put this in the forums but didn't get a solid response.
Thanks

HI. I'm not an expert but I think that when you change to a new ROM you need to do a factory reset (in TWRP) and some say to also wipe both cache's, then install the new ROM.
Some rom's come with gaps built in and others you have to install it separately after you install the rom. It usually says that in the description somewhere. Many roms seem to use the same gaps file.
Hope this helps. It is the way I do it and it seems to work for me.

Thanks for the response! Im rather new to flashing but in the past I've had no problems. I got the process down, just want to make sure that's how you would do it for an entirely ROM. Thanks

If coming from a different custom rom it is recommended to wipe System Data and cache no need to wipe dalvik if you wipe data and cache, dalvik is only needs to be wiped if upgrading rom versions but usually the rom will do this for you
Even though i posted in thread a lot later than you did, gapps is included so there's no need to download them.
Also just for reference you might also need to wipe system cache and data if the rom is upgrading the base eg. JRO03L to JRO03R which is in v3.8 just testing at the moment
while everyone does not do this, it can cause issues so people wipe and others don't
Also Kaos Droid wipes system cache and dalvik-cache every time you flash no matter the version, it does not touch data at all main reason it formats the sd unlike recovery e.g ClockWorkMod or TWRP formats /data without touching the sd partition
Hope this helps and sorry for the late reply in the thread
