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

[EvoUserXXX]

Hey guys I am having problems with ADB. I installed android sdk, and followed the instructions from What Is ADB And How To Install It With Android SDK

I followed the instructions but can't get adb to recognize my nook. I have honeycomb running, my brother did it(the way listed here without the ADB part), but the market doesn't work. It searches the apps but I can't download anything. I tried the google framework clear market stop technique and it didn't work. I need help please

I believe this is the part I may be doing wrong:
Open a command prompt window and enter this command:

echo 0x955 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"

I enter that and nothing happens, I think something is suppose to happen or its suppose to say something.

I installed honeycomb via flashable zip and sometimes I can download apps from the market and other times it acts like it's going to download and then never does. Has anyone had this problem?

2. use ADB to push the apk onto the Nook system/app directory
3. reboot the Nook
4. run titanium backup and restore the DATA from Angry Birds
5. Run it!

Internal Storage only has @1gig visible

I think there should be 8gigs available but mine after HC install only has 1gig visible, and 839mb left. Any ideas?

Thanks for all the hard work, other then the storage thing it seems to work great.

OK guys, I think I f'ed up. I flashed Nookie Froyo to the internal memory; and then decide to try Honeycomb. So I reboot to clockworkMod, followed the steps in this guide, did the

"
5. Under mounts/storage, choose format system, then format data, then format boot."

After format boot, the CWM menu stuck without any response. So I long pressed power to turn it off, then I couldn't get it back on anymore.

When I was running froyo I'm pretty sure I had enough battery. Now I don''t know what to do. I am trying to charge it with the official charger now. What can I try?

Google Books is the only book reader that seems to work with Honeycomb. Kindle does work with Froyo...haven't tried Nook yet.

I have absolutely no trouble with either the Kindle or Nook Android apps.

Keep trying the long press on the power button sometimes it takes a few times to get it to boot back up. It is pretty hard to brick the nook color.

I'm in this exact same situation. Cleared system and data fine, cleared boot, CWM locked up so I did a force restart and now since the boot sector is blank, poor NC doesn't have anything to reference for a bootup. I've tried holding down the start button quite a few times and no luck.

I have the honeycomb for nook color (usd method) how to get the app store on the sd card?

This shows that CWM is buggy. I am bringing the tablet back to Best Buy. If they have a replacement I will take it but I won't flash the eMMC again. I don't trust current version of ClockworkMod.

Glitch & Tino,

Are you just getting the black screen on bootup? If so, I had the same thing(none of the reboot 8X or hold n at startup worked) and had to follow the instructions on this page:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/bar...5414-how-restore-nook-color-rooted-stock.html

From what I can tell so far, the nook color is almost impossible to brick.

 

[packerzphan]

Also,

Did ya'll happen to put froyo v 0.6.7 on and then format your card on NC? I noticed this in the new version and I think it's what caused my problem:

v 0.6.8

* Corrected improper handling of Format SD Card option - no longer formats /boot!
* Touchscreen enhancements - no need to toggle screen on boot and better responsiveness around the edges - thanks deeper-blue!

It doesn't power up at all, there is another guy in neogaf with the bricked NC. The recepe is burn in CWM. I intalled CWM to internal memory thru SD/Nookie Froyo's ROM Manager.

 

[Glitch4583]

Yeah, I'll be taking my NC back to B&N tomorrow to get it replaced. The thing won't power up at all so there's no way to bring it back to life.

I got my Nook a couple weeks ago, and rooted the first day. It was pretty good once I got Market on. I wanted to speed things up and was missing pinch zoom so I decided to install Froyo with with overclock last weekend. I didn't have a lot of luck on Froyo. Market would not work after the first day. Battery life was good though. I got a little tired of trying to make due, so I installed Honeycomb this morning. First I put everything back to rooted stock, then did the upgrade. It could not have went any better.
There are some issues, but overall, I like it better than Froyo. I replaced Launcher Pro with ADW Launcher. I have had just a few problems with Market. BofA Mobile banking wont install, as well as Kayak and a few others, but otherwise, I have installed 25-30 apps with no real issues noted so far. I did note that some root apps don't seem to run right. CPU Tuner doesn't allow me to change any of the settings.
The biggest issue I see so far is that on Honeycomb my nook chews thru the battery.
I am looking forward to more updates to see just how great this is going to get. A big thank you to the Devs who are putting all the time in to make this happen. Hopefully the next release will help with battery life.

Hello,
As you can see in the pic. My win7 box see's the device and yes I can communicate with it using adb. I have to use a different cable and not the cable it came with thou.

Also as you can see the OS see's the two drives inside the Nook running HC, the microSD card and the internal partition. I also posted a pic in a previous post about this. What is not happening is I cannot access these at all. When I plug in my HTC Incredible I choose the disk drive option and THEN they appear and load and are accessible. But this NC running HC just cannot do this. Is everyone having this problem? Is there an option in the settings that need to be changed to have the computer launch the drives to be active and accessible as in my Phone?

Any help would be appreciated.
