[HOW-TO] [NEW VERSION] Install Nookie Froyo to Internal Memory

[cobrew]

first of all... thanks to all that worked on this project. I'm a noob and have it up and running with only a few snags along the way.

The problem I can't seem to figure out is I can't see the sd card. I've tried 2 different sd cards: one is formatted fat and is visible on my pc only if i plug it in using the sd card adapter, the other sd card is the 4gb card I was using with the rooted nook prior to this(it has my backups & files). Any ideas?

to a smaller extent I noticed that each time I power down the nook i have to let the screen turn off in order for the touch screen to work properly.

Try download this file: vold. Put it in your adb directory and enter:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

adb push vold system/bin

adb shell

cd system/bin

chmod 6755 vold

exit

adb reboot

See if your SD shows up then. If this is a bug in the new version, I'll post in OP. Are others getting no SD? I've been playing with Honeycomb and haven't messed with it much

I can't see the SD card either. It's a 16 gig if that makes a difference. I even just did the vold thing and it don't work either

 

[Will Shanklin]

I just realized you guys are talking about the SD showing on your computer, right? I thought you meant on your actual Nook. I'd say use an SD reader for now, I'll see what I can find on this issue . . .

The 'powering' the screen off/on after every reboot is the case on most ROMs on the Nook right now. I think I listed this in the OP, if not, I'll add it.

 

[oliverobtuse]

I'm talking about the Nook. On the Nook under sd card and storage, it says there is no SD card installed.

Same here no SD card mounted and the PC won't see it either. The same SD in my Nexus one it sees it fine.

 

[cobrew]

Thanks. Before I saw your reply I found that several people on XDA had the same issue. The instructions there were similar...

using the volds from Nookie Froyo from 5.8

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system
adb push [loaction of vold.fstab] etc/
adb push [loaction of vold.conf] etc/
adb reboot

This did work for me.

I figured out why my sd wasn't visible on the PC and that is b/c I forgot to turn on USB storage.

 

[cobrew]

OK I need help.

I flashed Nookie onto the internal memory and that worked fine. Now, adb won't recognize the device, and I did the usb drivers more than 5 or 6 times. Also, it won't recognize my sd card. I have a 16gb if that makes a difference.

Help????

I had this same problem. Make sure that you install the nook drivers on your PC. Look in your pc's device manager to see if there is a driver error. By default, my pc (win7 64bit) showed "Nook" under other devices. The installer didn't work for me. I had to point device manager to the correct folder and it found the driver. ADB worked fine after that.

Alright so now adb is seeing the Nook. I got that to work. But adb won't push anything to it, which I assume is because the nook still doesn't register the sd card. does that sound right?

 

[oliverobtuse]

I've tried a 2 gig, 8 gig, and 16 gig card. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[PhyscoAssassinX]

yeap my nook doesnt read my 32 gig im going too roll back until this gets worked out

 

[oliverobtuse]

so i got adb and now i do have the sd card viewed. now, i can't figure out the path for the google apps. its under C:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk-windows\tools\system. thats where everything is. so what do i type into adb specifically to get all the apps pushed to my nook?

the google apps are located where ever you extracted them to. I had an issue b/c I just installed android sdk and the new installation directory is "platform-tools", not "tools" like the OP. plus i created a folder called system then extracted the google apps to that folder so i had two folders named system. not a problem, i just had to adjust my command. Looking at my notes, one of the below commands worked. I don't recall which one......

adb push C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\system\system\ /system/

OR
(cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\)
adb push .\system\system system/

ok, got an odd issue. I flashed using the newest version and everything is working fine, EXCEPT

The screen has no back navigation arrow. all i can do is go back to home, not just back one screen?
What do i need to do???

Open applications and start the softkeys app.

I'm trying to install the google apps and when trying to use cmd to use adb, I now get "error: protocol fault (no status)" How do I get past this?

 

[jordan8201]

Has the link to the overclock kernel been changed? I can't seem to get it to work.

AdHoc

Hey guys, everything is working great so far, with only one real issue, Froyo doesn't seem to utilize my adhoc network form my wireless tether correctly, it sees the network and connects to the network but then doesn't seem to connect to the internet correctly. Anyone else having this issue?

 

[GrillMouster]

... Froyo doesn't seem to utilize my adhoc network...

I don't think this is unique to this version of Froyo. I think Android in general doesn't connect to an ad hoc network. There's a version of wireless tether that works with certain android phones that uses infrastructure mode mode (like a hotspot). That will work.

.....There's a version of wireless tether that works with certain android phones.....

Thanks, any idea if any of those work with an original Droid?
