[HOW-TO] Download/Install Honeycomb to Nook Color (SD card)

[starbai]

guys i'm trying to do this on my mac for my nook... i type everything out just as it states but i get 'no such file or directory' error after running the final command in terminal...

My guess is it doesn't know where to pull the image file i've downloaded and unzipped from... what do i do? does that string entered into terminal assume that the image file is located someone in particular on my mac's hard drive? what am I missing?

Thanks in advance for the help, i'll keep searching but 139 pages is a lot to go through lol

edit... this was it! thanks!

Mac Users:
For weeks I've been stumped on the basic HC install to an 8gb sd card via my MacBook Pro. I accomplished the task fairly quickly using Windows/Bootcamp, but it kept nagging me that I couldn't do it in OSX. I'd follow the directions flawlessly yet when I entered
dd if=nookhoney04.img of=/dev/rdisk# bs=1m into terminal I kept getting "file not found" or doesn't exist, in any case dead end.
Well what I did get it to work (finally, after at least 50 tries) was instead of typing in nookhoney04.img I typed in dd= then I located it where I had unzipped it and just dragged it into terminal and then finished up by typing of=/dev/rdisk# bs=1m, hit return, small rectangle appeared, (with no discouraging words) and about 4 minutes terminal told me the files had been transferred.
Hope this helps.

iptables support

Hi,

I have v4 honeycomb mod working on sd card with market & overclock. Does this kernel support iptables? I keep getting:

iptables v1.4.10
su: access granted
iptables v1.4.10: can't initialize iptables table 'filter': Table does not exist (do you need insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or kernel needs to be upgraded.

Is there anything I can do...maybe flash the kernel?

Thanks, Jeff

So i'm running honeycomb on the nook now, and its pretty stable i must say... my biggest problem is using PDF reader to view a few picture intensive PDF's is EXTREMELY slow, laggy, and choppy... would an overclock help this situation at all?

This particular PDF ran so much better on the standard nook software.... so is there a fix, or a way to help this out? or would I be best served to use the standard nook software for actual reading and just throw my honeycomb loaded card back into the device for all other use?

Thanks for the advice!

I don't know anyone who has gotten flash to work properly. That's the reason I went to a CM7 ROM.

I get stuck at step 3A. When I click Disk and Restore, I get a dialog box that says "Select physical drive in the list" and the list is empty. Any ideas?

Do you have the SD card in a reader connected to your PC before you do that?

Can't get my nook to be recognized by the ADB

I have been able to get honeycomb up and running on my nook color and the driver has been installed successfully, but I am having trouble with the device being recognized by ADB. After I type in ?adb devices? the lines below are blank. When I open the device manager, the device is listed in the ?Android Phone? folder and the device is named ?Android Composite ADB Interface?. How do I get the device to be recognized under ADB Devices?

Please help!!!

Yes, an SD card adapter. It is not being recognized for some reason. It shows up under Computer as drive H.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

I just upgraded my Kindle app on my Honeycombed Nook Color to 3.0. My Kindle app had been working flawlessly. Now, whenever I want to open a book, I get the window "Kindle for Android has stopped unexpectedly" and I have to force close. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Kindle for Android. I've tried sending a book to archive and redownloading it. I've tried downloading a new sample of a book. Same result. Is it some glitch, or could Amazon have done something to make the app unusable on a Nook Color?

Thanks for any input!

Me too. Looking for answers....

hi, just got me a NC, and was trying to read through the 140 pages...but sorta stopped after 8, then tried to search but didnt see anything, and was wondering why which one is better? To flash the internal or this way on the SD?

I had that problem. The key was to move the app to the "SD card" The partition used for apps is probably getting full. Get SuperBox to move as many apps to SD as possible.

Can't you just move to SD card from "applications"? Thought that was an option after 2.2?

Does that really fix the problem? My wife has tried nook, kindle, and google books apps and they all crash constantly. Actually I think google books cuts off right side of pages, but others force close.

 

[jarome]

It worked for me. Yes you7 can move it

No such thing as a dumb question, right?

What I know will fit on the head of a pin so please bear with me! I have downloaded the nookhoney04.img.zip
WinRAR
WinImage

I have extracted the img, file to one of my external drives, tried to follow these directions:
Using WinImage and under Disk choose restore Virtual Image to Physical drive, change the files shown at the bottom to "all files" and select the file.
Disk 1:0kb-hp 1:00 is the only option listed. Drive F is where my SD card is.

How do I find the number to drive F?
Why can you not extract the file directly to the SD Card?

I know I am missing something, Thanks in advance!

You are supposed to be writing the image to your SD card, so that is correct

So I just got a nook color, but Im not sure where I am adding the market in these steps...

-----------------------------------------------
Installing the Android Market on the Nook Color running Honeycomb:

1. Download this version of the Market (2.2.11).

2. Download GoogleServicesFramework.apk.

3. Place the files in your adb tools folder (or platform-tools on the newer version - wherever adb.exe is)

4. Open a command prompt in that folder, and issue the following commands:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system

adb push Vending.apk system/app/Vending.apk

adb push GoogleServicesFramework.apk system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk

adb shell

cd system/app

chmod 6755 Vending.apk

chmod 6755 GoogleServicesFramework.apk

exit

adb reboot

Then go to apps, open the market, sign in. If the Market won't open at first, reboot and try again.
--------------------------------------

Is this with in the Nook Color, the sd card or somewhere in my pc?

How do I access the right folder?

When you install WinImage there are two shortcuts that are generated by default, one for regular users and an administrator version. You have to run it as an administrator to get the list you're looking for. Took me an hour to figure that out yesterday.
HTH,

I don't know what the issue was with my computer, but I tried it on my other laptop and it installed with no problem. Now my question is why does Honeycomb see my 16gb SD card as only having 1.25gb of storage. Any ideas? Surely the Honeycomb OS isn't that big...
