[Q] I did something wrong while trying to root my nook color.

I think did something wrong. I followed this tutorial:
hmm I can't post the youtube link. If you go to google and type in How to Install CyanogenMod 7 on the Nook Color and click on the first link you'll find it.
When I got to the part where it says to format the data, I got an error message. Then when it said to install zip from sd card, I got an error saying can't mount sd card. So I went back to wipe data/factory reset and did that. After that I took the sd card out and did reboot system now. But now it won't go beyond the screen with the N on it. What do I do now? At this point I just want to put it back to it's original state. Please help. I'm afraid I broke it. And I'm sorry if I sound like a noob.

I tried installing the latest version of CM7 nightly. By using a different method and memory card. I followed the guide here:
[ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards.
I installed the image file on the memory card. Took it out then put it back in like it said to. But now my computer can't find the memory card. In other words the card won't show up on my computer anymore. What happened? I'm so disgusted right now

Deep breath. OK? Happens to us all.
I'd suggest you start from the beginning. Format your uSD using this in your computer and not your NC. Often errors start with a bad format.
I'm using CM7 7.0 as it seems the most stable for me. It's often best to used signed versions as those are reported to be the most stable. Get it here
Create a good bootable disk with that has CWM ( http://androidforums.com/nookcolor-...workmod-version-3-2-0-1-recovery-sd-card.html), WinImage is fluky so I'd suggest this copy your CM7 ROM to it (on your computer), boot doing either a factory reset or wipe cache and dalvik. You can wipe data is you want but will have to reinstall all your programs if you do.
Keep in mind that often the first boot up after ROM install might take a few minutes. You might have to even hard reboot. It happens.
Again, most problems start with a wonky formatted uSD and just multiply from there.

Thank you very much! I got it working. Now I just need to know a few more things. Where can I download the latest google apps pack and overclock kernal for my nook? And can I still access the barnes & noble bookstore? If so how?

Hey I noticed a problem. The flash player isn't working for,
the web browser anymore. Meaning YouTube and. Megavideo won't play. It was working fine before I rooted it. Is there anyway to restore it?

I went to the market and found adobe flash player 10.3. But there's no download button for it??

Okay I just downloaded the latest version of the android market. And now when I try to download adobe flash player 10.3, I get a message that says your device is not compatible with this item. So now what?

If you have CyanogenMod 7 take a look at their Site maybe someone else had the same problem and knows what to do.
They have a very good forum and i'm sure you will find a fix there.

Often updated Gapps allows for correct/better downloads including Flash.

Well when I go to YouTube and tap on a video, first it says loading video then I get a message saying Cannot play video sorry this video cannot be played. It's the same thing when I use the YouTube app. I have the latest version of adobe flash player installed because megavideo works.

Alright I tried uninstalling the YouTube apk and reinstalling it again. That didn't work. I tried doing the wipe data thing with titanium backup. That didn't work. I tried downloading the EVO HD YouTube app. That didn't even start up. I made sure that I was not signed in to YouTube. That didn't work. I'm about ready to give up.

Well guys I finally did it. I got YouTube working. I had to completely uninstall everything and install the latest cm encore nightly release. Everything seems to be working now.

Problem. N64oid doesn't work anymore. It was working fine before I did the new install. Now whenever I try to load a rom it freezes and I have to hard reset my nook color. Anyway to fix this?

cannot install flash on stock chrome

Sorry for noobing. I've seen the thread on installing flash for 4.1.1
I follow all the steps but when u use the stock chrome on the nexus 7 in settings there isn't an option to enable plug ins..
Sorry if this has been asked but I couldn't find it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Chrome wont work with flash. You need to use Stock browser of Firefox Beta.

Thanks, I've been d/l the flash file directly onto my tablet and no luck. I'll try putting it on PC then transfer , see if that works. Couldn't get it to work with firefox b4.

I had to try couple different flash player apk's to get mine to work on Firefox beta. Try this one
http://db.tt/9p4cZLZx

Worked for me thanks.

seas ubserh
Yep, got it to work guys, thanks!
Oh think it was cus I was d/ling straight from n7
I transfered the file from my PC and used appinstaller to installed and worked like a charm on beta. Oh I also use Flashify. Let's u surf with chrome then if on a page with flash it opens that page in firefox beta. Pretty neat. Just can't wait till flash is gone. Soo much simpler

+1 on Flashify. Nice to switch browsers easily if chrome won't display the page properly.

Newbie Need Help..got my TF101 rooted..now what?

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.

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!

Can't Flash Radio 4.4 TWRP v2.6.3.3

I was stock 4.3 rooted, unlocked, with TWRP installed running the LTE Enabler and a hybrid radio, I used a flashable .zip to upgrade to stock 4.4 the other day, all is well and I'm still Unlocked, and rooted, and still have LTE, but I wanted to try one of the newer .97 hybrid radios but when I reboot to TWRP and try to flash a new radio it fails everytime, I've re-downloaded, tried a different radio etc...
Says E: Unable to open zip file.
Error flashing zip....
I tried changing over to Clockwork mod to try it there, but it won't install clockwork....I even used Wug's Tool kit to reinstall the stock bootloader, then load Clockwork, but it wouldn't work, so I had to put TWRP back on, which is does fine.
Anyone have any suggestions? Should I go back to 4.3 and try to sideloade 4.4 again through a different method?
Thanks,
Justin

well, I was actually going to try severl radios to see if anything worked any better, specifically the .27/.84 hybrids as opposed to the .33/.84 hybrid I'm running now, but yes they do have some .27/.97 and 3.33/.97 hybrids out there as well.
it won't flash any of them right now.

bootloader has nothing to do with loading up anything 4.4 at this time first off. Secondly have you tried to simply open the zip file to make sure its not corrupt. Also have you tried to download other zips to make sure that it is not a problem with your browser or anything else. How much trouble shooting have you done with the file in general?

I had a similar problem with the browser issue on my desktop. When I installed the first factory image onto my phone it soft bricked it. I later discovered that Internet Explorer could not download the image onto my desktop computer without corrupting it. So I tried Firefox and upon examination of the downloaded file I could see it was a different size; installation then went smoothly.

I actually I have 3 browsers on my desktop. IE, Firefox and Chrome. I find that many times, depending on the page I am going, one browser out of the three will not work properly for various reasons, so I have to try one of the other two. My first web browser was Mosaic, then Netscape, etc., etc.

This is an Awesome ROM for TF300T!!!

I just wanted to share this with other owners of the TF300T.
When I was looking for a smooth, fast ROM for my TF300T I had to go thru a few different ones until I found a good one. Well, I found a perfect one!
KatKiss Lollipop ROM !!!
If you have a TF300T, then you gotta try this one!
It runs sooo smooth and fast. It has it's own performance settings so I adjusted to 1500 as the max and it works incredibly well! And of course the Lollipop features are a definite plus!
It's like breathing new life into this transformer pad!
Many of the ROMs only partially work well with the keyboard dock. But with this ROM, it all works!!! Even the pause/play and forward and back buttons works!
So, thank you to timduru and his KatKiss team!
They do such a great job on putting out a quality ROM!
Loochie

Indeed it is an excellent ROM, works smoothly

I dont think the HDMI output works unfortunately. I tried watching a movie on a tv, but it wouldnt read the input, and its the same cable and tv i had success with when using CM10, but otherwise wonderful ROM

Totally agree with you!
I like this ROM too. The only problem I found is that this ROM doesn't support F2FS on /system and /cache partition. It only support F2FS on /data partition. The ROM description doesn't mention this part clearly. I painfully figured it out by myself. T_T

i tried this rom today, pretty good and i appreciate timduru's efforts but it lagged and was slower than slimkat (unofficial) rom. while i prefer lollipop, kitkat still runs faster and because this tablet's hardware is too slow, it runs lollipop really laggy.

Couldn't agree more with Loochmiester!
I've got the latest ver (027) running w/ dock and it is literally a new tablet now...absolutely no lag! The best part for me is that webpages load quickly! They can be scrolled while loading without hanging up, they load faster, and I don't have the app asking to close because it's taking too long. This used to drive me nuts!
I did have to install #nochromo because the default browser seems to loose the rolling scroll feature on tabs that open from links within another tab. i.e. it only scrolls while your finger is on the screen.
Since some people seem to be having issues w this rom, I'll say that I installed it thru twrp along with gapps-KatKiss-5.1_TF300T_20150601 and gapps-GoogleLauncher_20141122. I used no backup restoration of apps.
one issue I have is that wifi stops working after tablet is in sleep mode for a while; dk how exactly long. just cycle wifi and it's good again.

Any chance you have ASUS apps and Dayscene live wallpaper working with this?
I tried a few Kitkats but was not able to get the live wallpaper to work. Hence reverted to Chromi-X 5.4.
Such a small showstopper though but Dayscene is so excellent

I bought my TF300T second hand and instantly installed CM as i didn't want to stick on android 4, it felt slow but i thought it was the tablets fault. After i installed KatKiss the change was really big, it booted way faster and the speed in general was way higher. Yesterday I installed the marshmallow version of katkiss and i think it's even faster than the lollipop one! Be careful though, as of version 0.005b the camera and bluetooth don't work. In his changelog Timduru says that the camera will be fixed on the next update though. I'm so looking forward to it!

I'm evaluating to put a ROM on my TF300T and I see nice talk about this katkiss, but it seems to also have some issues that I prefer to not have.
Will I get some improvements in putting Cyanogenmod 12 on my tablet, is it worth it?
Cyanogenmod is that much slow compared to katkiss?

It works great

I dont think the HDMI output works unfortunately. I tried watching a movie on a tv, but it wouldnt read the input, and its the same cable and tv i had success with when using CM10, but otherwise wonderful ROM

I always use the HDMI output since i have this tablet and i installed on the first day katkiss 5.1.1

I've been running KatKiss KahshMallow #009 for 3 days now an I'm very impressed.
I just followed the instructions in th OP even formatted data to f2fs.
Everything I use works great, Bluetooth, wireless, USB, sd, microSD, camera front and back, keyboard/dock. even goes to sleep with out draining the battery.
I use BSplayer a lot an hotspot into my phone for internet as I work FIFO
Haven't tried hdmi as I dont have a cable yet.
I came from CM 12 and that was great too besides battery drain while sleeping I never fixed.
Big thanks to Timduru an crew

Actually you can do this, with the latest TWRP 2.8.6.5.

I have had issues trying to install anything later than 2.8.0.0 TWRP. How did you get it installed?

I'm running the next version (katKiss Marshmallow)...it's a great ROM, however, I'm having some serious interference between the Bluetooth and WiFi...
I've never had this before...but now, when I try to stream a video from the Dish Sling...or Netflix, I get constant buffering, because the Wifi is blocked by the Bluetooth.
Anybody else experience this?
Is there a way to update the drivers?

I had a heck of a time updating TWRP as well...I think the ROM I was on (I forget what it was) was really falling apart...I couldn't open a terminal, or do anything to get TWRP updated...I finally was able to install SSH, and then I did the following...
Put the latest TWRP Blob file on my SD card using file explorer
SSH into the tablet
Used the dd method to move the Blob to the staging block of the tablet.
Reboot (tablet updates the recovery partition from the staging area, then boots).
Then reboot into recovery. Fixed!

I am trying to do this upgrade, but keep getting an error when pressing RCK on my tablet. I have unrooted the device an loaded twrp.blob on it as well, but it keeps coming up with an error when trying to install the "System update". Any help is appreciated.

I had to use adb to flash TWRP and then reboot into recovery and flash the ROM and GAPPS If you go on the TWRP page, they will give you the adb instructions to get it on your tablet.

Been using KatKiss for a while. OEM OS was slow and unstable and the more you used it the
slower it got. Tried CM12, but it drained the battery while the tablet was asleep and it didn't
improve the performance. KatKiss seems stable and is fast. No complaints here.
