[HOW-TO] Flashable Zip: Install Honeycomb to Internal Memory (eMMC) of Nook Color

[appmy]

I just got it all working. It is works pretty smoothly at 600mhz, and great over-clocked. The only thing I cannot get to work is Amazon MP3. Any ideas?

Flash isn't even working now, so the hacked Hulu app won't either. Maybe Netflix for Android will be out by then, who knows?

I am pretty new to this all so forgive my stupidity here, but is this a hardware/device issue? I thought that anything above 2.2 had flash built into it or at least had the ability to have it installed.

Thank You All! I have spent a few hours getting this running, and thanks to everyone's great Q and As, I got it done. Cheers!

Technically, yes, but remember this is a port of an SDK preview, never intended to actually be installed on a device, so many of the hardware features are being built from the ground up. I'm confident Flash will be here and working soon.

Does the flashable zip include an OC Kernal or do you need to OC as well?

Read the first post. It has the information that you request.

You're work is awesome, Will, thanks for posting the HC files so I can try them out. I'm looking forward to having flash 10.1 on my NC, but am happy I'm able to use my Nook as a reader as well.

help please if any one can i just tried the flash zip and now it doesnt turn on at all and my comp isnt reading it

I tried this yesterday, I got honeycomb to work via the SD card, but then could not get android market to run or much of anything else. This is so frustrating isnt there an easy "simple english" for us not so geeky folks to do this?

 

[vegeta_2123]

ok i get it back in crw but it wont flash

 

[gayborg1]

Will, Any word on when Flash Player 10.1 will be available? I know you guys are working pretty hard on getting a lot of the features enabled, and I really appreciate it.

Thanks devs!

I just want to say thanks to everyone who made HC work on NC. I have been able to make all the 'essential' apps work (gmail, facebook, pandors, adobe reader, the market-most of the time, and a variety of games). I can now use my Nook Color as a daily use device. The UI is unbelievable and truly a pleasure to use.

The things I'd still like to see, but can live without are a working youtube app, flash, and a google calender.

Thanks again!

Thank You Will Shanklin!

Well, that was relatively painless! I started with my wife's NookColor which had version 1.1.0 of the firmware installed and it was registered and everything.

So, I followed the instructions for rooting here.

Then, I followed the instructions in this thread to install Honeycomb. And, so far everything seems to be working great. Best of all, after installing the Nook app from the Market, she was able to login and gain access to all of her previously-purchased Nook stuff!

My wife now thinks I'm a tech god! I humbly replied by directing her attention to this website and especially Will Shanklin! Thank you, kind sir!

Could someone maybe make a step by step video and post it on Youtube for us less than tech savvy people who would like to learn how this is done? After all, everyone had to start somewhere right?

 

[david6785]

can i us it with the 1.1 update

After installing the zip, I get stuck on the "ANDROID _" flashing cursor. Any recommendations?

I am having the same issue. I verified that the mds checksum was correct. I see that the zip file installed properly according to the CW prompts. Whenever I reboot I hang at the "ANDROID_" cursor also.

I wanted to try the adb steps, but I am stuck waiting on the data file from FileFactory (no one seems to be seeding the torrent right now)

Any ideas why the zip installation process is failing for me (as it seemed to for several other folks)?

Thanks in advance and thanks to Will for great work!

Hello, thanks for the flash version of v4 of Honeycomb. I'm just curious, are you guys installing market abs via ADB or direct downloads? I installed HC today on my nook and I was only able to download one app and that was quadrant. (1547 by the way awesome NC)

I am tying to download other apps available of the market but when I push "ok" to enable the download a pop up appears stating "you item will be downloaded" the app will then start the process of being downloaded and then just disappear like nothing happened and the app is not being loaded. Bottom line I can't DL apps. Got any ideas?

I know this might not be the right place but this is the only thread i've read that has a direct flash based HC. Any help would be appreciated

i have the same exact problem not sure what to do. Only youtube app worked. other than that everything says it will download but never does.
