You don't have to root the NC to run pure android 2.2

[AMStarshine]

The app store works but won't download anything. Looks like I need to go back to that thread and see if I missed something.

 

[AMStarshine]

That thread isn't much help because I don't understand/know how to do certain things like edit the chmod. Oh well.

 

[americonium]

So I am running 2.2 on my sd card. I guess no market for me. I'm confuzzled to say the least. In any case, it was fun.

 

[americonium]

I burned my sd card with "nookie-froyo-0.6.7-SDCARD.custom.2.img" onto a class 4 4gb card. I tried youtube, vast improvement over the nook, I tried downloading Pandora, no luck. I logged into Youtube, as I have seen a few folks saying that may be the solution, however, no luck. I'm going to give my futzing around a few days off so that I have the weekend to play, but I'm sure someone has a fix, I just don't know where to find it at this point.

Other than that, it performed well, if not better than the nook 1.1.0 os, so at least I have that for browsing and such.

I got market working.
Clear cache on market
clear data on google services framework
force close google services framework
reboot and viola

Market working. Happy happy joy joy!

Considering a mod is helping this person root...I'm pretty sure they don't have s huge issue with that.

I understand where you're coming from. The thread did get lead astray, but that's what happens when you visit an open community with people that like to help others out.

If the mods do want to clean it up, I hope they don't delete any posts. I think there are a lot of valuable tools in this thread. I suppose they could create another "Trouble Rooting: SDcard booting without root" thread and just move the posts over there. But the important information for this thread is really contained within the first post or two. The only real value in moving the posts would be to help others learn from Harley's frustrations.

i agree, just split the thread, but while waiting i will start another one, i bought the bn color and am not going to root but have run android off of the card, even went so far as to get a class ten (huge improvement btw) Grabbed my wife (future wife) a drid x the otherday and rooted that.....I love the BN Color as a reader, i couldnt read on a tablet because i have (maybe) ADD and theres so much other stuff to do, but on a reader I read!

 

[UBRocked]

Thread has been split. Sorry for hijacking the thread guys but I'm a bit of a utilitarian...frustrated people trying to root their devices turned this thread into a support thread. Rather than move the discussion "during" the process...I decided to let it run it's course.

jxker is right though...the thread needed to be split. bgrutter was right also in saying that there might be some posts that could be very helpful so nothing was deleted To see that go here:

So...feel free to discuss the OP's topic now LOL

 

[americonium]

Not to piss and moan, but the comments I posted were about 2.2 on a micro sd card. And that I have Market working. No big deal.

I was able to open the market, and search for any app. Problem was they would not d/l. I did what I read in the quoted text. Now the android market gets this error when I try to open it "attention: an error has occurred. Please try again later".

not sure what to do. I also have looked at NookColor: Nookie Froyo Tips. I d/l the 3rd party apps .zip file that is suppose to have youtube, pandoria and other programs. I tired using adb shell, and unable to get it to work. I have used have used it in the past with my LG phone, but now no luck. When I pop the sd card into my laptop I am unable to see the /system fold. my guess it is the way the partitions are set, but who knows. any help would be appreciated.

I am running nookie 0.6.8 on my sd card

thanks

Did you log into youtube with your google account? I really don't know why mine started working. Oh, did you restart after following the list of clearing stuff?

 

[americonium]

It's 1.2.0 day, and low and behold, I found that this sd card method does root the nook, and I spend all morning trying to straighten it out. Long story short, if you use the sd card, don't try to upgrade to 1.2.0, unless you first go through the process of "UNROOTING" your nook color. Good luck gang.

Huh?

Using the SD card with full Froyo installed doesn't root the standard files stored on the EMMC.

Plug card into stock NC, boot 2.2, take out card and reboot and it's back to 100% stock. No modification of internal files.

I'd be interested to hear more of what your exact problem was, but I can pretty much guarantee it wasn't related to this.

 

[americonium]

I started the manual update. When I went back to it, it was in Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 reboot menu. The boot SD was not in the tablet.I don't know how else that would have happened if it had not been rooted.

Sounds like you installed CWM from ROM Manager.

Autonooter doesn't even use CWM so that wasn't the cause.

Guys I'm new to the forum so go easy. I'm a long time Droid X user that has rooted, rom'd and themed. I got my Nook Color yesterday and updated manually to 1.2.0 Since rooting is not available yet I decided to install Froyo using the bootable sd card. That said things are going well as I learn about the Nook. I am having trouble successfully downloading apps from the market. The download starts but them fails. Any idea what's going on.

Welcome to the NC forums Bankswood. If you know your way around your DX, then this stuff won't phase you in the least. Not only does it not have a locked bootloader, but the bootable uSD card makes trying out new things a breeze.

Try wiping cache and data for the market.

I've also heard that 2.2 had issues with WiFi with some protocols, and that could be the cause if the download starts and doesn't finish. Does the progress bar indicate any progress at all?

Some more info originally posted by Stinky that worked to fix the exact issue you are reporting.

Not sure why its doing that, but seems a few people have reported the same thing in the eMMC Customized Nookie Froyo ROM.

After clearing Market cache, and force closing Market, go to Google Services Framework and clear data, then force stop. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache, then Dalvik cache which is under Advanced. then reboot.

Thats the process for Froyo to allow protected apps to show in the Market, but may help your situation. You could always try to find a Market .apk file on Google and replace the current one, see if that helps as well.

Now since your DX is ROM'd, you seriously need to consider putting on Gingerbread. CM7 is stable, and Phiremod 6.1 is the preferred ROM and works beautifully. You do lose B&N instore reading and Read-to-me books, but can still access all your B&N books through the Nook App. But what you are left with is pure Gingerbread goodness. You can also dual boot OS, if you want to keep stock.

^^^ what he said.

 

[Bankswood]

NJ thanks for the response. Rick aka Colchiro has been coaching me while I waited fror thr Nook to arrive. Of course he talked me into buying it so he has to help. My problem seems tobe timing. I was al ready to apply Autonooter then flash either CM7 or Phiremod. But when the Nook arrived I decided to go ahead and apply the update so now I'm waiting for updated rooting files. As for the B&N situation I couldn't care less. I use Kindle App on my Droid X for reading. I want the Nook to be a nice tablet.

That's the beauty though, no rooting required to install a ROM.

Just load CWM onto SD card, along with the ROM of your choice. Boot right from the SD card into CWM and install ROM.

Done.
