Hi I just got a nook color for 160 bucks off Craigslist. It is rooted running cyanogen mod 7 encore 7.0.2. I was wondering how to get miui ubuntu and bluetooth working. Also I'm new to this so if there is anything else you guys recommend it'd be great to hear about. Also when I first opened up rom manager it says I need to install a recovery and I accidentally installed a one for a different device and now I can't access the recovery and when I click on flash recovery and I click on nook color it says an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands

I dont have the links off hand, but you should be able to create a micro SD card with CWR on it and boot into it. From there you should be able to modify and reload everything onto the NC.
Essentially start from scratch. I recommend ditching 7.0.2 and using at least 7.1RC or one of the newer nightly builds. 7.0.2 doesn't have deep sleep and there have been a lot of fixes made in newer builds.
Welcome!
I would also recommend just starting from scratch, unless there is anything on the NC now that you desperately wanted to keep. Who knows what the previous owner did to it. I've personally installed CM7 (just go with the latest nightly) to emmc using these steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11452450&postcount=19
If you want to go the SD card route, follow :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
There are steps in each thread about updating to a newer CM7 release. Bluetooth "just works" in any recent nightly. You can enable it in the networks settings panel. If you want to keep what you have, you might try going into the Applications settings and clearing data for Rom Manager (not 100% sure how to undo that setting). There are threads in the Android Development subforum for MUIU and Ubuntu, but [and I'm partial here], CM7 seems to be far and away the better option.
Just a side note here. Since I run bluetooth and host mode daily, I check out each nightly before playing too much. N 161 and 162 have comments about BT issues. If you really need BT, I have found 160 is rock solid.

thanks much!
I joined the site about a year ago when I first got my TMobile G2 with the intent of modding it. Since I used it mainly for work, I decided to leave it alone and became a lurker since I didn't have much to offer (info wise). Recently I picked up a Nook Color, and after reading about several different mods, decided on Rack's Dual Boot.
Being a noob to Android Systems (but not to computers), I reread the directions a few times. When I got the gist of what to do, I ran through it with no issues. Turned out to be unbelievably easy. Many Thanks to Racks and everyone else that worked so hard to bring us this awesome information (as a side note F**K those douches that are selling cards on fleabay).
Now to the point; There are a couple of questions/issues I have that maybe someone can help with:
1. Occasionally, when I try and download apps from Play, I get an "error in processing purchase" message. When I power down, then boot back and flash the ICS gapps, everything is fine. I have tried clearing cache and data and get the same error message.
2. In CM7, the Nook Tweak App does absolute wonders for the volume of the crappy little speaker. Anything for ICS?
3. I have LG HBS700 Bluetooth Headphones. They work great in GB CM7, but nothing in ICS CM9.
4. Netflix works like a charm in GB CM7 but bogs and freezes in ICS CM9. Same for Youtube. I have downloaded Flash Player with same results.
5. Lastly, is there any way to get sound INTO the NC? That way I can use the Dolphin Voice Browser, Google Voice Search, etc.
Not big on flashing nightlies. Prefer to get system doing what I want and being stable, then sticking to it.
Many Thanks in advance - Mike
UPDATE:
#1 happened again, and reflashed GAPPS. Got the same error message again. Now, I can't download anything from Play Store in ICS CM9.

Sorry to hear ur having issues. Only suggestion I would have is to backup whatever apps you have on CM9 with Titanium Backup or any other app that is capable of doing so. Then download a more recent update of a DualbootSD CM9 from the techerrata server. Copy the zip over to the /sdcard partition of the DualbootSD rom and boot into the CWM that is included with the DualbootSD. Then go to "mounts & storage" and choose to format /system & /data then flash the update you just downloaded. That should fix whatever issues you are having with market.

No. The nook has no microphone and bluetooth Mike inputs don't work either. Sorry.
Thanks Leapinlar.
I pretty much already knew the answer to 5, but asked just in case anyone had gotten something to work.
The rest aren't horrible problems. Thanks to the dual boot card, I just reboot into CM7 to watch Netflix. And by the way, the range with my BT Headset is in feet not inches. I was pretty impressed for having no antenna.
The recent Play thing is a pain though. I will walk through your recommendation and get back.
Thanks - Mike
Attached is what I get with Netflix via ICS
Sorry
Meant my last to say "Thanks Racks and Leapinlars"

Hey Racks,
Okay, I downloaded the MIUI Updates for the Dual Boot Card and put them on the SD Card. I then booted to recovery and open chose zips from SD Card. Installed both GB and ICS Updates. Rebooted into ICS, and everything looked fine. Tried booting into GB and got a nice MIUI.us Boot Screen, then splash screen looks nice, and as soon as I unlock the device I get: "The application launcher (process com.android.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly" and the same with "media" and "acore"
I tried reflashing the old GAPPS, and nothing. My only two options are "FORCE CLOSE" and "REPORT TO MIUI"
Any suggestions?
Thanks Again - Mike
Okay, now I reflashed CM7 MIUI and can't boot into GB. Stuck at MIUI Boot Screen.
On the good news side; I can now download files from Google Play in ICS. WOW! If it's not one, it's the other. HAHAHA
Issues get fixed, and it's still better than the stock Nook Color.
Can I go back to standard Mirage CM7 and keep MIUI CM9, or is it "all or nothing?"
Thanks Again - Mike

Try going into Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All. Find the Google Playstore app. Clear cache. Playstore will then reload your apps when you start it next. If that doesn't work, clear cache and data. You'll have go through the registration process again, but it may work.
Thanks Shumash.
I finally got Google Play working after installing MIUI Update 03252012 (ICS). My big issue now is with CM7.
After doing the update, as soon as I do the unlock, I start getting error messages (see above). I can't get into anything. I can only reboot or turn off power.
I know I can go back to factory settings, reformat and setup the SD Card, and start all over with Mirage CM7 and CM9. Is there a shorter way? Ideally, I would like to revert MIUI CM7 back to the original Mirage, and leave it be (everything worked fine HAHAHA) until someone comes out with a stable HW accelerator, so I can have my Netflix and YouTube in ICS.
Thanks Again - Mike
Convert2Dualboot-SD Tool
Racks,
I've been using your triple-boot for a couple weeks (works great, by the way--thanks!), and I decided to try your Convert2Dualboot-SD Tool (mainly so that I could have ICS CM9 as my primary). Previously I've had Mirage CM7.2-RC1 from 3-23-2012 in primary and ICS CM9 non-OpenGL from 3-25-2012 in secondary. I downloaded everything, including your newest ICS CM9 non-OpenGL (the 5-1-2012 version), to the Nook, extracted, dropped the ICS CM9 zip into the rom-to-modify folder and the ICS gapps file into the gapps-to-modify folder, opened a terminal session and ran the Android script. Everything seems to have been created fine--the new files were in Primary-Mod. I then went into recovery, formatted system1 & data1, then flashed both the ICS CM9 zip and ICS gapps zip.
When I tried to boot into primary, nothing happened. I then booted into secondary and discovered that the secondary partition had been updated to the new ICS version (5-1-2012). It was flaky, so I went back into recovery and re-applied gapps (this time using the non-modified version). It seems to be working fine now, but is in the secondary partition. My primary is apparently currently empty because of the formatting.
So unless CM9 should never be placed in the primary partition, there seems to be a bug somewhere (at least in the Android version). I did see something in the script that appears to be a problem. Within the "ga" leg, it has this coding:
mv gapps_DualbootSD_alternate_${DATE}.zip ../Primary-Mod/gapps_DualbootSD_alternate_${DATE}.zip
I'm not a programmer, but having "Primary-Mod" intermixed with "alternate" would seem to be problematic. But since this is the "ga" leg, I don't know that this would have caused CM9 to be applied to the secondary partition instead of the primary, so there may be a problem somewhere else.
Do you know if anyone else has successfully applied your modded version of the CM9 rom to primary using the Android script? Or should the existing modded version only be placed in the secondary partition?
Thanks,
oldfolkie

Goodness! Gotta check my script! But that should have been moved to Alternate-Mod. But as in the appended filename. It should flash to alternate boot. Will correct on next update.
Regarding ur issue, you shouldnt be using my modded zips for conversion as it is already prepped specifically for Primary or Alternate boot.
The script is for converting standard .zips. like a regular nightly. Also note if ur flashing a new rom over default setup. It is recommended to format /system1, /data1 for primary & /system2, /data2 for alternate.
Thanks again for pointing out that error!

I figured the issue might be with using the modded zips, but I wasn't sure. Thanks!
Hello, Im new to this and was able to root my TF101 build .27 with oneclickrecovery V0.4, which installed SUPERUSER v3.0.7
Wanted to install the EOS 4 JB because I read this is very Fast and Stable. This is what is important to me, hence the root.
Now how do I use this and install the ROM?
Is there a youtube or link that someone can direct me to?
Have a look here:

You will need to update to TWRP 2.3.2.3 (highly recommended) via GooManager
THank you for the link. I tried to install easyflasher but I think when I installed oneclickrecovery, it installed Rogue XM Team which I think is my flasher (instead of easyflasher)..when I rebooted with VOL_DN & PWR, then VOL-UP, it went to Rogue XM Team instead of easyflasher.
So can I just download the ROM into my SD Card and use the menu from the Rogue "install from .zip file"?
Is this the method?
I know Im half way there but need guidence for finish the rest. thanks for your help.

I'll alleviate some of your confusion lol, Rouge XM etc are recoveries (that are accessed via holding vol down and power) Easyflasher is a program that runs off your pc and allows you to install a recovery (like Rouge, TWRP or CWM). Easyflasher also works as an unbrick tool (if you do something wrong and mess up your tf101 easyflasher will restore it back to stock)
When using a recovery you need to place the rom on your sd card (some recoveries will only allow flashing from internal or external sd card's not both, but in the case of rouge it access both) then wipe the device (this will get rid of data etc, so if your going to make a back up this is the time) and then wipe everything except for battery stats (it isnt necessary to wipe everything but im not using the same recovery so i cant remember what the options say on rouge so just wipe everything for now) then flash the rom with "install for .zip"(and anything that goes with it i.e gapps or another kernel----- depends on the rom your using) and then just to be safe wipe the devlik cache again and reboot.

I would STRONGLY suggest switching to TWRP. Rogue will work for now, but if you flash updates to this ROM, the new file structure for 4.2 will cause your /sdcard/ to end up in the /sdcard/0/ directory, and after another flash it will be /sdcard/0/0/. You can move the files, but IMO TWRP is much better anyway (it can flash from internal and external storage).
You can install GooManager and choose to install open recoveryscript from the menu, or you can use the dd command and a terminal emulator to install TWRP:
First, download the twrp blob from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf101
Rename the 2.3.2.3 blob to TWRP.blob
Method 1
Open a terminal emulator.
Code:
$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]dd if=/sdcard/TWRP.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4[/B]
# [B]reboot[/B]
It is important to just do a reboot, if you reboot to recovery immediately it WILL NOT update the recovery. Upon reboot, you should see a progress indicator at the Eee Pad screen. Feel free to reboot to recovery after this (even before it boots).
I strongly recommend reading the post by Fredurco in the link he provided. As a matter of fact, read the first three posts. These are the most detailed instructions for any ROM I've ever seen and believe me, I've seen more than a few. Take your time and just follow those directions to the letter and you will be fine.

I agree, rogue can also flash from internal and external, but twrp is the best, I need to update PERI to include it...

Nothing as fast, eos3 in my opinion is the stablest custom ROM I've used but I can't move away from eos4, plus when timduru release the cornerstone build my tablet is gonna get some major use.

I agree! EOS 4 IMO is the most usable and stable 4.2 build. My biggest complaint with the CM10.1 build was the touchpad disable was not working. It is still a great ROM otherwise and pretty stable.
As far as 4.1 ROMs, EOS 3 is solid, and so is the CM10/PananoidAndroid hybrid.
I am definitely itching for some cornerstone love!
I use liquidsmooth currently, and it's my new favorite, since everything works. I haven't found or noticed any bugs, which is rare.
EOS4 is also good, but I just don't like the feel of it oddly. Very well built and worth a shot though.
Hi Fred! Dug my TF101 out of moth balls and put on EOS4.
Had some trouble with the drivers, So I ended up using 1 from column A, 2 from column B:silly:
end result, got my drivers, APX mode going, (cross between oneclickrecovery, easyflash, nvFlash, Universal Naked Drivers),
Finally got twrp on and flashed superuser
got twrp-goo manager to update it, Flashed EOS4- saw updated recovery did not stick, finished the flash, updated twrp again, reflashed eos4- saw twrp update did stick this time, and now get to play with the TF 101 all over again!
Everything old is new again!
Thanks Fred! Your post on the TF forum was great, and XDA supplemented what wasn't working for me!! Great teamwork:victory:
Thanks to Fred's excellent tuts, I was able to easily get TWRP installed and rooted (although it did kill my WiFi somehow, which I'm hoping will be solved with a different ROM), but have a dilemma:
Not to hijack (didn't see the point of starting a new thread about the same thing, but I will if you guys want me to) but which ROM will give the best video performance? I'm not trying to do 1080 stuff or anything naive like that, but I would at least like to be able to watch some of the lower quality 720p stuff (NPW's releases are very good) without stuttering or syncing issues.
Note: I'm not trying to do everything with this tablet and overall I'm VERY satisfied with the overall performance and wouldn't even be tinkering with it at all (I've had it for over a year on stock ICS) if I didn't travel a lot and use it to watch movies on the go. I only use this tablet for gaming, surfing, movies and lots of document viewing (PDF, MSOffice, etc). I don't care about GPS or the camera. I have a phone for that. However, I don't have the time or means to be constantly reflashing this thing because WiFi drops out every 30 minutes or something like that.
Basically, I'm looking for the ROM with the best combo of:
- Stability
- Respectable HD-ish video playback
I'm not a total Android noob. I spent many hours tinkering with my old Nook Color back in the day, so no worries there. I'm just looking for reliable video playback on the go. I've been looking at Android Revolution HD to preserve the ASUS File Manager and things like that, but really haven't seen anything definitive about video playback improvements. I'm open to moving up to JB, but its not a burning desire or anything.
Thanks!

I guess I am not sure what is causing your WiFi stability issues. I have no problems with the EOS 4 ROM and WiFi. It never drops out on me. It is perfectly stable, and I can play 720p H264 23.94 FPS mkv files with no issues using MX player.
Before I ran EOS 4, I was running the ParanoidAndroid/CM10 Hybrid ROM and it was just as stable and fast.
If you are having WiFi issues, did you do all the wipes (Cache, Davlik, System, Factory Reset) before flashing the ROM? If not, then that is probably where the WiFi issue is (settings from your previous ICS ROM still present on the data partition).
Disregard the bit about the WiFi. I disconnected and reconnected to my network and all is well.
It sounds like EOS4 is the only ROM that is still consistently updated. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.
Thanks!

EOS4 and the CM10.1 No-Name are the only ones getting regular updates.
Thanks for the quick responses. EOS 4 is installed and process of redownloading all my apps. Now I just need to test out some video. I'm testing it without the OC kernel first, just for fun.
If you wanna see more in-depth which rom is better, I recommend a little app called Antutu benchmark, it'll give your current setup a score depending on how fast it does things like 3d renderind, sd card reading and battery performance
I might be in the minority with this opinion, but after some tinkering I'm not all that convinced that EOS is any faster than the stock ROM from a general usability standpoint (even with the latest KAT kernel), but the video is definitely improved, so I'll keep it as my "daily driver".
Thanks for the help, guys!
Hello XDA peeps.
I've had my Nook color for about 3+ years. Have had both my wife and mine running old versions of CM7 on the SD card without issue.
I recently dug mine out to set up for the kids (for a trip we're taking starting this weekend) and first installed CM10 (10.3 I think). loaded and was able to get apps running w/o issue but the poor old Nook and CM10 was so sluggish I felt it was just too much for this legacy device, so I reflashed to the CM7.2.0 [stable]
loaded just fine, but when I went to install GAPPS it installed fine, but will not allow me to access my account now.
no matter how many times I try, it tells me the password does not match for my account.
I know for a fact the password is the right one, and I can get on the Play store just fine on my Galaxy S3 using the same credentials.
I even reflashed the GAPPS to an older version and no luck.
Any thoughts? Really stuck here, since we're leaving Saturday morning and I want to have both Nooks up and running current versions of our boys fav games to pass the time. right now it has no app store, so it's pretty much a stripped Android tablet.

You said you were running CM7 on SD. How did you install the CM10? Then what did you do to get back to CM7? What wiping did you do?

I actually have the CM10 on the root of the device. I thought I had put it on the SD card, but didn't. (just found this out by accidentally powering on the tablet w/o the card in it)
So, currently downloading the CM 10.2.1 update (from 10.1.3), and perhaps it will fix the sluggishness.
I have a third stock Nook that I have not touched in years that I'm going to flash on the SD card...see if I can't get it to CM7.2 w/o any issues.
but previously I had wiped the card twice and attempted to Reinstall CM7.2.
I think the fault lies in the steps I was following to burn the SD card.
Told me to add the gapps AFTER installing CM7
I was pretty sure in the past I put both on the same SD at the same time.
or it is possible the Google two-step verification/authorization is not compatible with the older Market app. I can get on the Play store just fine on CM10 (but it did have me open in the browser to verify the device).

I don't think CM10.2 is going to help. CM7 is the best for NC. I would wipe the internal CM10 you have on there and install CM7 to internal. Be sure to put the right gingerbread gapps on there too.

I don't think CM10.2 is going to help. CM7 is the best for NC. I would wipe the internal CM10 you have on there and install CM7 to internal. Be sure to put the right gingerbread gapps on there too.

yes, thank you. I feel anything higher than CM7 just boggs the processor on these dated tablets. For a kids' tablet, it's just fine and will run most of their games/books and it remains snappy. CM10 just feels overloaded. It is sluggish and slow to respond. I'll try to get it moved back to CM7.
I've been trying to flash the other Nook, but after much effort, I have not been able to get it to boot into recovery.
I have the same card set-up, but I cannot get it to start with the card....constantly goes to the B&N root.

Sometimes it is difficult to get the NC to boot from an SD. See my NC Tips thread linked in my signature and read section A9.

Thanks Leapinlar,
Still running into issues. now on BOTH Nooks.
I was pretty sure I remember something about an updated B&N ROM that was signaled with a Green sticker on the box, which the troublesome boot one has.
I am using the generic_sdcard_v1.3.img + cm-7.2.0-encore.zip + gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip all being burned via Terminal on Mac.
The only thing that has changed since I was dabbling with these in the past was the CM release.
I am not able to find my original bookmark of the tutorial I used to use (2+ years ago) so I think there might be a flaw in the instructions I'm following now. (for instance, the instructions I'm following now, the dd= command isn't proceeded by 'sudo' and without the sudo command, it errors out when trying to write the generic SD image to the disc (says disc is not available or locked).
gonna keep trying, because I want to get these up and working for our trip...we have 36+ hours of driving over the course of a week, so I know they'll get bored of looking at sights, reading books, watching DVDs, etc. Mainly for my own sanity, since I'll be driving.
**EDIT* i found the original tutorial I used years ago in my trove of bookmarks. It was the original GlassKeys tutorial. gonna give that a shot and report back with my success/errors.
Well, one thing, if you are going to use that old original image file you need to rename the CM zip to begin with update-. That will not help with the booting issue, but will make it so that image will recognize the CM zip.
I have an updated image zip in my updated instructions for NC SD installs linked in my signature.

Thanks. should have mentioned that I did rename the file to "update"
got my old CM10 to boot into Linux penguin and it seemed to be doing it's thing, after formatting the SD card following the GlassKeys instructions, but it is now booting to CM10 still by default and if I hold the "n" key for the boot menu on Cyanoboot and try to boot from SD card (normal or recovery) it just stays on that screen until I power it down.
as for the second, untouched Nook, I did the GlassKeys instructions to the SD card for that and it loaded to Penguin and went through all the install procedures, but now it still boots to the B&N emm setup screen.
wish I had never taken the other to CM10. now I have two Nooks that aren't acting properly.
thing that bugs me is the first one was running fine, just market wouldn't recognize my sign-in...now both are jacked.:silly:
SUCCESS!!!
So thank you goes out to leapinlar!!!
I dropped what I had been doing on my system as far as the files I was burning and read over all your FAQ and tutorial.
I downloaded the files in your how-to and had the tricky OE ROM flashed in a jiff!
The second one is installing now on the peguin screen and JUST now loaded to the CM7.2 bootloader screen.
Still used the GlassKeys instrucitons on how to burn via Terminal on OS X, but used your files (generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-10.2-11-largest-Rev8c.zip )
My original issue, I have found through all this, was that the Market wouldn't allow me to sign in...well that is an issue with the 2-step verification for my Google account I had activated (someone tried to hack my account, so I had it on). Once I turned it off, I was able to open the market and sign in.
Thanks again for your help leapinlar....check this one off!
Going to update both tonight with our boys' fav apps and games and get ready to hit the road first thing Sat morning! :laugh:
If you want something newer I found that cm10.0 was pretty fast on nook color. Better than cm7. Anything newer I also found was to slow and laggy 10.1+. If interested the last nightly cm10.0 rom and gapps are over in the development fourm.

Thanks! but pretty happy with CM7. any more seems to be a bit much for these processors. both are up, loaded full of games/books and ready for the road trip. :highfive:
Hey folks. I recently revived my 2012 Nexus 7 wifi. I thought it was toast, but I guess it just needed a nap. It was having Gapps problems last time I tried to flash, and this time around, I'm having the same issues. I've attempted to flash a few versions as well as flashing a few different roms. The roms flash fine, and they run very smooth, but Gapps constantly either fails to flash due to space concerns or even though it claims success, it doesn't load the services and I end up with a ton of errors and can't really work with the tablet. The computer itself obviously runs great, but I'm missing something, or need to take it back a step or something.
I was hoping someone could explain to me how to purge everything and install the most appropriate Rom & Gapps pairing. I'm using CWM, btw.

First of all CWM is ancient...
I do this when I feel like starting over.
(First flash TWRP, via fastboot if possible)
Format the partition /system, /data, /cache and Internal Storage (yes even that)
Then connect it to the computer, get on XDA and download CM13 or a ROM you like (I like CM13) and flash opengapps (pico, just google it)
I would suggest following the suggestions that the developer of the CM13 port to the Nexus 7 gave to fix the eMMC speed.
Installing Trimmer and setting it to daily is enough.
Good luck!
