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
I would like to clear everything in clockwork and start over, under advanced settings which sections do I format to do this? If anyone can list the exact steps to start clean it would be greatly appreciated!
/System, /Data, /Cache. BEWARE: Doing this will cause the Nook to boot to A N D R O I D _ if you dont flash anything after doing it.

Good question! I'm guessing he means it will continuously boot into CWR, but I thought that was a given.....
I am a noob and I want to do the same thing that is restore the nook back to original, so I can start over. I have cleared the system and file, but not yet the cache. Do I have to have an SD card mounted to restore? If so, what files should be on the card (including zipped or unzipped)?
Background. I successfully rooted my nook color. But in trying to download a purchased app from B&N, they pushed an update to a higher version (I think I was using 1.0.1) which bricked the nook. I've been trying to restore ever since. As of now, when I boot, I can get to the ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5 and navigate through the menus, but when trying to reboot, I can only get to the main ClockworkMod Recovery menu. So far I have tried to reformat the SD card and redownload files to restart, but no luck so far.
Thanks for any help.
If I format those sections will the SD card be wiped? I want to download the latest version from rom manager and start fresh, so I'm wondering will I need to connect to a computer after wiping.

ROM Manager only works when CM7 is installed on the eMMC. If you are running CM7 off an SD card you cannot use it to update ROMS.
being a noob, I'm not sure of the proper etiquitte for the forum. I don't want to appear to hijack the thread. I do need help. What is the right way to request getting back to working?
I've been flashing eyballer's OpenGL nightlies (to emmc) for the past few weeks with no problems. However, 20120307 is the last one that successfully flashes for me.
EDIT: I just tried 20120308 and it does flash successfully. Will try 0309 to see if it works now...
EDIT2: Nope, flashing 0309 or 0310 after a successful 0308 flash and test still doesn't work. Everything below still applies. Feck!
0309 and 0310 (I skipped 0308) both produce the following results.
Download the ROM
Verify checksum
Replace services.jar with mateorod's updated services.jar (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508481)
Copy the ROM over to my SD card using TerraCopy which runs a CRC check on the copied file afterward
Reboot into CWM
Wipe cache and davlik cache
Install ROM
Install bootanimation fix zip
Install latest GApps from goo-inside (0304 checksum verified)
Install telephony fix
Reboot
Boot animation starts and runs for maybe 2 minutes
Everything is good to this point, just like it has been for weeks.
Once the animation stops I get the Android is upgrading... message BUT rather than it showing progress of each app updates (x of xxx) it simply says OK and has the spinning wheel. After about 30 seconds OK changes to Wait.
A few seconds later message pops up that says
Text actions
Low on space
Clear default in Home Settings > Applications > Manage applications <-- this is a button I can click which simply closes the message.
I click the message so that it closes and I have a the CM9 lock screen or to the home screen once I've unlocked. Either way I can't determine what it is that it's asking me to clear really...
That same low space message keeps popping up. The menubar and soft buttons do not load, but the App drawer button and search bar are preset at the top. I can open the App drawer and launch various apps that way. All while having the low space message pop up every 10 or 15 seconds OR immediately if I run an app that attempts to look at storage.
EDIT3: It appears that the SD card isn't mounting whenever I'm attempting to run 0309 or 0310. Yet it DOES mount with any nightlie earlier than 0308 as well as stock 1.4.1. It mounts in recovery too. What changed in 0309 going forward??
So here are the things I've tried.
Restored nandroid backup of 20120307. Works just like it always has.
Completely wiped and installed 20120307 fresh, along with 0304 Gapps, bootanimation fix, telephony fix, etc. Worked like a charm.
Repartitioned emmc; trying 5Gb data and 1GB data both to see if that might have an impact on 0309 installing properly. Nope!
I've tried repairing permissions after a 0309 install
I've verified that yes, there IS enough space on internal storage (~450MB of 5GB used)
I've installed 0309 and 0310 without replacing the new services.jar file
I've installed 0309 and 0310 only - no other zips such as GApps, bootanimation fix, etc.
I've booted without my SD card inserted to eliminate it as a potential cause
Completely wiped the Nook and reloaded stock 1.4.1, re-rooted it, flashed CWM and attempted 0309 and 0310. No effin' luck!
I simply can not get any of the new OpenGL builds to flash properly, yet others here are able to and no one else has reported the problem I've been having. The best I can do is to restore 0307 from nandroid backup or to install 0307 fresh.
Anyone have any idea what's going on and/or what I can try next?

It sounds to me like it is asking you to clear the defaults on a specific app, hence telling you to go to applications. I would suspect SystemUI since it is the one crashing. That's why you have no soft buttons. If you can do it look at that app in the settings and see if there is data or defaults that can be cleared.

Thanks for the suggestion. As it stands right now when I go into Apps and attempt to view All, it reboots (to the boot animation, not the boot loader); sometimes before displaying any apps, sometimes after it's loaded the list. In either case any time I attempt to click on anything once I'm viewing Apps, I get a reboot.

I can't tell from your first post. Did you try installing fresh after wiping data? It sounds like something got borked there. I know you lose all settings, but it may be your only solution.

Yes, I've wiped data more times than I can count in the past 2.5 days.
I even went to the extreme of repartitioning my emmc storage - went from 1GB data to 5GB data. Obviously you have to format after repartitioning. I've also restored stock and then re-rooted and flashed everything fresh. This NC has been completely flattened and rebuilt.

Restore a nandoid backup prior to flashing 0309 or 0310? If that's what you're asking, then yes. I've done that multiple times. I can restore my 0307 backup and it runs perfectly. I can wipe data/cache and attempt a fresh install of 0309 or 0310 and it isn't mounting my SD card. My SD card mounts fine with previous CM9 builds, current Mirage 7.2 builds and stock, not-rooted.
I guess the next step is to reformat the SD card.

No, I meant flashing 3/10 right after wiping /data, but my guess is that you tried that. Is mounting the SD the only issue after installing fresh? No systemui crashing?
Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk
Yes, I've attempted to flash 0309 fresh after a complete wipe without first restoring a backup and also immediately after coming from 100% stock.
The SD card, which appears to function as it ought to with every other build or ROM, is the only thing I haven't yet worked with. It just doesn't make sense that new builds can't mount it unless something changed in those builds. Then again, no one else is seeing this.
EDIT: Beyond the No space pop-up message that keeps spamming me in 0309 and 0310, there's no messages about crashing at all.

Try 3/10 fresh (w/o the modded services.jar, it is broken on 3/10). It has been significantly updated. Many things changed.
Sorry. I meant to state that I've done both fresh. Yesterday I simply thought that the problem was with the 0309 build. I spent hours working different flashing scenarios. Installed over 0307/fresh/repartioned/restored-to-stock/with services.jar and without it/with GApps and without. I finally gave up and hoped that 0310 would fix whatever was apparently broken with 0309.
I've tried all of the same today with 0310. Just got through creating a backup image of my SD card and am about to flatten it and see if that helps.

Yeah, I read about the services/jar issue and stopped using that both with the 0309 build yesterday and with the 0310 build today.
Well screw me. Wiping data/cache and installing 0310 without anything else - no GApps, not bootanimationfix, nothing - along with a freshly formatted SD card and it still will not flash properly.
I'm so done with nightlies for a while. Back to Mirage.
Thanks for the help, leapinlar.

I'm not sure what you mean "flash properly". You mean it will not install the nightly to emmc?
Meaning that the ROM doesn't run properly as stated in my OP. It does flash successfully... Sorry for the confusion.

I JUST installed the 0310 KANG nightly with OpenGL, and it booted up fine, albeit I had to flash it totally unmodded and with EVERYTHING except /boot wiped. Getting my apps set back up now, its running fine so far.
This is my first post and sort of new to this. I have two simple questions.
1) I am running latest CM7 nightly in mSD for Nook Color. Can I simply place CM7.2-RC1 MiRaGe - KANG build onto mSD to run it? Will the system recognize the file and overwrite my nightly?
2) Can I also downgrade from latest CM7 nightly to a stable release by placing stable release into my mSD?
thanks ahead of time for help.

I have one more question if anyone can answer. Sorry for being noob.
I just start using android/Nook from iOS. I can do just about anything inside iOS.
Here is my question when I update to stable/mirage build does my data and settings retain? This just update (overwrite) nightly and install. Correct?

Unless you factory reset, all settings and installed apps will still be there after flashing a new ROM.

Something I've been wondering,,,after performing an update build while running off of mSD should we be wiping cache and dalvik cache? And if so, how?
Or is that only a emmc thing?
I would think that even running on mSD both cache would still be needed by the ROM, and therefore could be wiped.
Thanks.
If you're running off verygreen's SASD... it wipes cache when you perform an update.
Arggh!! <smacks hand to forehead>
I've sat and watched the output numerous times during a install/update and noted the "flushing cache" message. duh.
thanks for the reply.

It does not wipe cache. That message means something else. It is just cleaning up after itself.

The only way to wipe cache with a verygreen SD install is to use third party programs like Titanium Backup. It is not really necessary as the system will rebuild the dalvik cache if it needs it. (Actually you can use a specially modified CWM recovery to do it, but not many people have that installed.)
Thanks clearing that up leapinlar.
I gave it a shot using TIB, and it reported 2 files as not needed for a total of 5.1mb removed.
I do remember viewing a thread somewhere in reference to that modified CWM. After review, I felt that taking simple SD image backups would suffice rather than using modified CWM in this instance. Only other benefit to CWM I felt I was lacking is cache cleanup. So looks like I have that covered now.
Thanks again.
Here is a story about me and my phone:
I'm using this rom for about 2-3 months and it's great!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817793
But when I was updating some apps with the Play Store I got error 492.
Googled it and I found a thread on XDA and it said that I had to clear some caches.
So I did that and a Dalvik Cache wipe and I fixed permissions.
But it ended in an endless boot. So wiped everything and I did as an extra a Task 29. I flashed my rom installed INT2EXT+. The first boot after I flashed INT2EXT+ something weird happened: The WiFi just didn't turn on. I just turned it on but the slider bounced back after 5 seconds. Reflashed still that problem. So here comes the question how can I fix it?
Wi-Fi issues are sometimes connected to too small system partition. Perhaps caused by bad blocks. Make sure your system partition is bigger than needed. I usually add 10/15 mb above what the rom requires

Did what you said but when I let it start up I just see just a FC of Settings that's it. :crying::crying:
I rebooted it several times en every time it boots up I see ''Android is Upgrading''.
did you do a 'wipe data' because although the partitioning will clear out all teh nand, there may be stuff on the sd-ext/fat that are left over. a wipe data / factory reset clears those out too.

That's because int2ex need its own script for wiping dalvik, using the one provided with CWM will cause bootloops: both of you can find the right one on the first post of croniccorey's thread. Just search for "Dalvik-Cache Wipe Tool" then make it run from install zip from sdcard entry.

If you have int2ex installed then download and run that zip because if you use normal CWM wipe-cache-dalvik, you'll get a bootloop. this may help you?
