[Q] Novice Guide to 1.2 Upgrade from 1.1 Autonooter?

Hello everyone. I am a novice to rooting and sideloading and ROM loading and etc., etc., etc. While my Nook color was rooted a few moments after I received it and CWR flashed to 1.1 update later, I am in no way shape or form proficient in any of this and have some basic questions I'm hoping can be answered.
I basically want to go to the B&N 1.2 upgrade (clean, fresh, stock, unmolested, CWR removed, etc.) and be able to "dual boot" via SD card to CM7 when I want to use it as a tablet, while keeping all of my current apps and downloads. Currently I'm on a rooted 1.1 ROM flashed via CWM from auto-nooter 1.0.1. Is this possible?
There is a thread in the Android dev section that has 2 zip files attached, basically stating that to do the "revert to clean" upgrade I flash load the zip file, wipe the two directories via CWR, reboot and poof, CWR is gone and 1.2 is fresh and clean, but I'm unsure if this allows me to retain my apps and downloads. Am I correct in my understanding? If not, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Similar but more basic question
Semi-noob with same question as above, except that I didn't install CWM/CWR, like many others I just rooted a Nook Color 1.1 with Autonooter 3, and use Zeam for 50-odd apps along with Stock 1.1 for reading (and wifistatic for my fixed IP). I have all the apps and data backed up with Titanium to a card.
I plan on just shutting off Wifi until:
1. It is clear whether 1.2 will or won't try to autoload with this simple configuration, and what happens if it tries to do so.
2. Autonooter 4 is issued.
3. There are simple instructions for upgrading to 1.2, rerooting it with Autonooter 4, and restoring apps from Titanium. [Please?] The info in the other thread, so far, is too varied and complicated for those of us who appreciate all your hard work but really don't understand it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050164
Thank you!

I too have the Nook (1.1) rooted using Autonooter. Copying the 1.2 B&N file to the nook does nothing. The file disappears after sometime, How does one even upgrade in this case? Thanks.

I followed the instructions here to restore to stock 1.1 then sideload 1.2. It worked flawlessly.

Yes same procedures however your link provides a more basic, easy to follow set of instructions especially for the newbie.
Just make sure you use the correct firmware that came with the nook, either 1.01, or 1.1.

Potential fix for Angry Bird install after manual neuter
A lot of people are saying that you can't install angry birds with the SD card installed. This sounds like the problem that I had with my Droid X. To fix it I had to delete the file left from the prior install under .android secure on the SD card. I guess that Froyo sometimes has issues with this file getting corrupt on the micro SD and then it can't install correctly during updates and reinstalls. I think you lose all previous data but at least you have it working normally now with the SD card installed. I'll try it on my nook and post back. I would have put this in the manual nooter thread but I don't have enough posts to post there.

Any word on when Autonooter 4 will be out? Can't find any info about that...
Thanks,
Doug

If you look at the manual nooter thread, they're working out a few issues. It's about 95% there, id say, but until the experience is 100% I doubt you'll see an autonooter 4.0.

Is it possible to update the u-boot to 1.2 without having to reflash the whole
ROM? I'm happy with the way everything is on my 12 hour old Nook....
Phiremod v6.2 installed without a hitch and I just want to try out some kernels....

[Q] Rooted CM7, no market Missing Apk(s)

Hi.
My nook color was on 1.4 (latest bn update), I dual boot it with cm7 following this set of instructions - youtube.com/watch?v=OxDEZ1Fc6iE
when started, the android guy didn't appear and it didn't ask to log in to my google account. in the menu, there's no market.
went to settings - manage applications - there's no google service framework nor market.
I then rooted it instead with cm7 again following - youtube.com/watch?v=lmmmm8cBpe0
same thing, no google service framework, no market.
I've dual booted, rooted, unrooted to 1.0, rooted, over and over again but no luck. I doubt there's something wrong with the files, is it not reading/installing it properly? I downloaded the files through the right links multiple times.
since then, I tried all sorts of ways to try to download the apps but nothing works as well. I also tried installing the files individually (google service framework, onetimeinitializer, setupwizard, talk, vending) but it keeps saying "Application not installed."
Once I did manage to download market, but when I open it, it just gets out and crashes.
Is there another way to root it with a sure way of having market on it? or what am I doing wrong?
Please help. ): I'm not an expert with all these things so if you could explain it in simple terms.

So are you running from an SD card? Did you download gapps.zip and put it on the boot partition?
Sent from space

yes, I rooted from an sdcard. I followed the exact instructions on the video - (youtube.com/watch?v=lmmmm8cBpe0) Is something missing? Am I suppose to partition the sd? By my understanding, partition is something like splitting the memory on the sd? is it?
Sorry, I'm a real beginner on this.

Well the video you followed on Failtube has you installing to your internal memory. Did you flash the google apps zip while in clockwork?

Put the latest GApps*.zip on a sd card and install using ROM Manager.

yup I tried doing that too. the files still didn't appear.
Okay, I managed to install CM7 and market! I followed eyeballer's guide at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227&fb_source=message through Koopakid08's link on his/her signature.
There was market on it and it opens. but doesn't start dowloads. I did the usual of delete the caches, reboot and now, it downloads fine.
I then overclocked it with www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mvwmx9qSZY guidance. not much of a guide but i managed to find the files and installed. but it overclocked to 1.1ghz, not 1.3. I don't really mind, but just wondering what I did wrong.. I'm thinking of trying it again but using the latest phiremod 7.1. I used the old 6.1 yesterday instead because I wasn't very sure.
So, now my question would be do I have to revert it back to cm7 then overclock it again? or can I just do it over what I've already done? or must I start from scratch, unroot, root to cm7 then overclock?

You can just install it as an update using ROM Manager and not lose any data. Just make sure the only boxes checked when you update are wipe dalvik cache and backup.

I was about to update it, but now, my google account keeps saying my password is wrong, and I can't sign in. What can I do now? I tried updating the rom from rom manager but it says there's no updates available.
if I were to do it through recovery, I need to burn the clockwork on the sd, put the files in, and just install zip? or do i need to format system and data first?

Go to download a rom to choose the rom you want.
You should install clockwork to your internal memory using rom manager and then you won't have to fool around with SD cards. If you want to update manualy through recovery then you need to wipe dalvik cache and then use the install a zip option. To boot into recovery hold volume up on boot.

If I do update it manually through recovery, I need to install the phiremod v7.1, do I need to install gapps_phiremod_7.1 as well? the instructions are gone since phiredrop deleted his website. I can't find any other instructions for updating from 6.1 to 7.1
I still can't sign into my google account, keeps saying my password is incorrect. Any way to fix this?
"install clockwork to your internal memory using rom manager and then you won't have to fool around with SD cards."
so thats how it works. hahaha, that'll be great and less of a hassle for me. I've been repeating the burn clockwork, install, flash all sorts of roms too many times.

1. Try pressing menu- clear download cache and see if that changes anything.
2. Yes you should flash gapps again seeing how you are having problems with your google account.
3. I've never used phiremod so I am not sure if that is a problem. I would suggest that you go with just virgin CM7.1 but I'm sure phiremod will be fine too.

Okay, after all the trial and errors, my nook color is finally up and running awesomely on cm7,phiremod 7.1 at 1.2ghz.
Went to rom manager - download rom - phiremod - v7.1 - reboot after that, I had to do gapps again because some files like market wasn't in the menu, but on the homepage. rom manager - download rom - phiremod - gapps - reboot.
so everything is working well so far.
thanks to all the help I received, especially koopakid08!

If you want to easily overclock your nook to the Max, along with adjusting voltage to handle it and adjusting speaker gain and other stuff, look up Nook Tweaks (icon is a nook outline with gears inside). The process is very simple, just make sure you install it to the device not SD (I made that mistake), because otherwise it won't set the CPU speed and voltage settings on boot (even with the boxes checked). I am able to get my nook running smoothly at 1300MHz, but the option goes up to 1600. So wherever your nook's Max is can be found with this app. No need to readjust your kernel, just install the app and go. If you want to make sure that it is working on boot, download autostarts, which shows what starts during boot.

True but you will not gain any performance by going over 1.2, only worse battery life and the chance of overheating.
Sent from space

Well I certainly don't think I know any better than anyone else, its just that I recorded a pretty decent increase from 1.2 to 1.3 when I ran a benchmark using Quadrant Standard. That's the only basis I currently have, but I figured since Quadrant Standard got good reviews that it was creditable... do you know of a better benchmark?

Oh, sounds great but I think I'll keep it at 1.3 rather than 1.6, I don't want it to overheat it or something. I've already downloaded the app and tried to change it to 1.3, but what is the CPU stepping 1,2,3,4,5? I changed it to 800, 900, 1000, 1200 and 1300. Is that okay?

Please let us know what versions of each you installed. It is important to figure out what might be causing the issue. Also, if it is the first time you have done this, and you haven't spent much time personalizing, I would just flash again to see if it resolves the issue.

I would do what Hal suggested "Go in to recovery wipe all but EMMC. Dont touch it. After a full proper wipe reflash. If you dont proper wipe you get klingons some times."
Then flash the gapps version recommended in above post. If you are still experiencing issues, then start from scratch, make sure to wipe all caches (don't touch EMMC) and use only the gapps mentioned here.

So what is EMMC? Is that the primary operating system?

I wipe /system, /data, /cache, and dalvik-cache. Then flash the new ROM. I would also suggest giving CM7.2 a try instead of 7.1 along with the gapps mentioned previously. Wiping /system is actually an important step for getting everything settled correctly,

I completed the steps that you recommended and install the gapps that you suggested and did all the wipes. As soon as I restarted the nook this is what I got "Sorry! The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close"

Have you tried Mirage cm 7.2 yet?

OP of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873
Scroll down to downloads. This is a very stable and usable ROM. Hope this helps.

Thanks for helping me out everyone with this I greatly appreciate it. Something else I am looking at now, is there a way to convert a java file (jar) into an android file (apk)? I ask this because I have found an app call andro lite what it does is it allows you to use your android as a keyboard, mouse, and others input devices with your computer but you have to download the server file which is a jar file. I'm think if it is possible to do this then I can have the jar file on my nook and use my droid phone as the input device.
Thanks in advance for the help and advice.

I use a VNC client app for that sort of thing. Valence acts as keyboard and mouse via VNC and lets me run demos while walking around the room.
VNC servers are available or even supplied for most OS's.

Samsung Ebook:The taste that will never have a rival...

In several threads in this forum,many users(especially book addicts) need the Samsung Ebook APP for android ICS(or HC maybe?) but never get a proper,fully functional result.but this thread is to end their worries about the loss and perhaps will be an end to that problem...
It's simple:just download the APP files and follow the instructions and ENJOY!
There will be two posts that will follow: one for Honeycomb and the other for ICS...
News: a new Q&A section is likely to be created in each of the following posts!

For Honeycomb:
There are two files:the one that is in the attachment is flashable with CWM recovery but doesn't have the APP's data,the data must be downloaded through WiFi.
Use the second file only if your device is rooted and you have Titanium backup installed.just pu the folder "Titanium backup" in the root of your tablet's storage and restore the APP using Titanium.this file is accessible here:

All is fine,try again...otherwise it is your problem only...if so,pm me

I downloaded it from the Samsung appstore before I disabled the Samsung appstore on my tab. It is in there too for those running stock.

Yes,maybe,if you have stock HC or ICS installed on HC...but most users have experienced issues with non-stock ROMs,this is for them

I really want to try the Samsung ebook reader but having trouble installing. My tablet is stock hc3.2 and non-rooted and have the Samsung appstore loaded on the Tab. When I try to install, the Samsung App jumps to Google Play and says not compatible with any of my devices (HTC Incredible 2, Nook Color (rooted) and Tab).
Anybody have any ideas how to install with out being rooted.
Thanks in advance

Yes,that's easy if you're familiar with Odin...do the following(voids warranty,no root):
Go to: https://sites.google.com/site/arashtarafar/
Download "recovery.tar.md5","bootloader.tar.md5","boot-cm...hc32..."
Flash the first two files with Odin,go into CWM and flash the third file...
Grab the "Ebook.zip" from the Honeycomb post in this thread(attachment),transfer the zip to your device and flash it with CWM...
Now you have stock 3.2 Ebook APP without root...launch it and in Samsung APPs press "Get",after completion press "Launch",the APP is in your device
Edit:for your Google play issue,I must say that if you log in with a banned/embargoed google account it shows "You do not have any devices",I have the same problem...hate and love Google play at the same time...

Thanks for the reply. But I don't want to load CWM. I'm waiting for ICS to come out for my SCH-i905 before I do any rooting / alternate recovery application. My account isn't banned or embagoed(?) cause I can load any other application from the play store to my Tab.

Download the zip from Honeycomb section,extract it,in the extracted folder go to "\system\app\"" and install "Ebook.apk",launch it,download it's data,done...
Information:the only benefit of flashing the zip package was to have Ebook installed as one of the system APPs that can't be uninstalled,there's no need to flash it otherwise...I should have said this,sorry...

Ebook
Do you know if it works in CM9 ?
(Flashing Ebook.zip via CWM)
:laugh:

I think it works but have not tested.I'll test it as soon as I get rid of the official ICS,you can test it yourself without harm if you don't like waiting.just follow the above post(first of page 2)

Arashtarafar, Thanks for the suggestion. I installed the APK but when I try to run the app, I get a message that "Service will be available soon" and nothing happens.
When I go into the Samsung App Center, it must recognize that it is installed cause I can "Delete" the application.

Does this s work for cm10

Thank you for finally getting me this working copy. I looks very similar to Aldiko but with a few extra features. Everyone keeps raving about this reader so I'm giving it a shot. thanks again.
I already notice a couple of differences
No cover images when importing
Can't add my Calibre library as a store

How To Bypass the Auto-Update (Tested on Nook HD+)

One annoying feature of new Nook HD+ (and assuming Nook HD) is that during initial set up it will look for and force you to update (if one is found). There is a neat and really easy trick to bypass this process.
Once you get to that step in the process, during the process hold down the power button and force it to shut off by selecting "OK" in the prompt. You have to do it before it finishes downloading the update.
Once you power it back on you'll have to restart the whole process of entering your WiFi and information again. When you get to the point where the device looks for an update, it will look for a few seconds and determine that its got the latest version installed and proceed to the next phase.
To make sure you did it correctly just go into "Settings" and check the version. For me my default was 2.0.4, for you it may be different, but either way its not 2.0.5.
I've tested it multiple times and always with great success.

What about 2.0.4 do you prefer over 2.0.5?
Also, let us know if this actually stays on 2.0.4. Those of us who had already registered Nooks (both HD and HD+) when 2.0.5 came out got updated in spite of having turned off auto updates.

It was for rooting purposes, since at the time I couldn't find a rooting tool for 2.0.5, that's why. Also I too had registered once under 2.0.5, and when starting fresh found that this method does work regardless of what you initially registered under. Though it only buys you little time to do whatever modifications you need to to your device before it automatically updates you (you could also leave WiFi turned off too).

What device are you running? Still would like your factory zip.

Ok, I thought that might be why. Thankfully we can root 2.0.5 now. But it's good to know this method of postponing that initial update if I ever need to reset and start over.

nook hd+ auto-updated after leapinlar root+cwm fixes
My Nook HD+ notified me last night that it had auto-updated to 2.0.6 but I was able to get back my original Nova Prime Launcher and the Google Play store continues to work (it broke Beautiful Widgets, but uninstalling it and reinstalling it fixed that)
I had originally rooted it from 2.0.5 using the Universal Root method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
I had the following images installed:
NookHD-HDplus-Gapps+Extras-for-stock-rev1.zip
NookHD-HDplus-Universal-Root-rev1.zip
NookHD-HDplus-LocationServices.zip
Using CWM for here:
NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6023-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev1.zip
Note - I did not manually update or in anyway 'induce' the update, it just happened. Did I miss something in the instructions to prevent auto-update?
Atleast the play store and Nova Launcher keeps working (not had time to check if root is still working though) But I did notice that the B&N Home launcher keeps showing up more often than before (hitting apps and going back brings back Nova)
Thanks

We have known for a while that setting the OTA to manual does not seem to stop auto updates anymore. The good news is that it still accepts the root. Just flash universal root again.

I might have found a way how to disable Nook HD OTA autoupdate feature.
For some reason setting com.bn.device.fota.mode to manual does not work, so there is more straight approach to solve this.
So far i have found two:
1) Once you have rooted your device it is just a matter of editing /etc/hosts file and adding couple of lines
127.0.0.1 nook.com
127.0.0.1 barnesandnoble.com
127.0.0.1 su.barnesandnoble.com
which effectively blocks access to autoupdates, but when you reboot your device, all your data will be erased (nook will restore itself to factory state). So some way around is needed.
2) There is an app on google store called "Android Firewall", install it. Once installed block Wifi for NookConnectivityService. GAPPS and browser will not be affected, you'll get norification "Wifi error". But otherwise wifi is fuctional.

Blocking NookConnectivityService kills connectivity to the Google Play.

You can symlink the hosts file. See my HD/HD+ tips thread linked in my signature. Look at item 15. Of course there are othe ways to prevent the update, like symlinking build.prop and doing the white on white repair. But those just cause the update to fail, while this may prevent them even checking. If this works, I may update my CWM zip to include it.
EDIT: After researching this a little I have found an easy way to accomplish this. That is to use AdAway. You can safely use that program if you configure it to put the hosts file on /data. It automatically symlinks it for you. But you need to be rooted to use this app. And it has a feature where you can add your own sites to block. Just add those sites listed in the post above. Then every time AdAway updates its own list, it adds your list to it also. This will block B&N from using those sites to download their updates. But realize that it also blocks you from browsing their site.

Nice! It works then Including it to CWM zip is a good idea, with a warning, that you get to loose one site. That rooting thing imho is the whole reason for not using it, but substituting with google play.
BTW Is your hybrid cm10.1 stable on nook hd+ ?

My Hybrid setup on the HD+ is experimental and a hacked version by me. And I am running verygreen's 1-07 version of CM10.1. The Hybrid works great and is very stable, but the CM10.1 is buggy.

You did not miss it. I just got it working this weekend and this is the first I have told anyone. I am going to test it a while before I even consider making it for anyone else. It does work but I had to manually configure some things. And it only works on CM10.1, not CM10. Until we get some better CM10.1's it does not really matter anyway.

This news change many things. But seems verygreen is so busy last time or found something new interesting.
Anyway. If you need some "hard testing" (when testing may make item dead) then ask me. I have one item with no warranty and ... you know, its not mine ... and its not last one.

Thank you for this. It works. I added the manual way to do it via AdAway to my HD/HD+ Tips thread and added a CWM zip to my HD/HD+ CWM thread to automatically do it for you if you are not rooted. Both threads are linked in my signature.

If you mean the Play Store, yes no problem - I don't use any other Play apps (like music, books, etc.). I am on 2.06, rooted, ADW EX Launcher and see no issues whatsoever with WiFi (as a matter of fact, no issue signing in to BN.com and downloading one of my books.
