I have 2 major problems running cm9 on the nook color.
I've looked them up and can't find Anything thought the search bar or google. If there is a post about them please link me to it
The first is . The market Does not connect NO MATTER WHAT I DO. I can connect to the Internet still thought the browser.
The second. There is no lock screen at all. When I turn the nook on it goes straight to home screen. And when I toggle it in and out of sleep it goes straight to home screen. I even tried putting a pass code to no Avail
I've tried reflashing multiple times.
Heres the tutorial I followed (srry no link)
To maximize battery performance, make sure your battery is charged to 100% before flashing. I prefer to let it charge during the flashing process.
Plug your bootable sdcard into your computer and copy the files you downloaded above (rom, gApps) to it. When it finishes copying, safely unmount it from your computer by clicking on the "safely remove hardware" icon by the clock in the lower right corner of your screen. This prevents causing file system problems and should always be done when removing a usb drive.
Remove the sdcard, plug it into your powered-down NC, press the power button and it should boot into Recovery
Make sure CWM Recovery says it's version 3.2.0.1. If it's any number less than that, you need to update your card, otherwise it'll fail when formatting data, leading to all sorts of nastiness.
(To use recovery, up/down volume buttons are used to navigate up and down, press the power button to go back, and press the "n" button to do the highlighted task. Only briefly press the buttons since it's easy to skip a step by holding down a button too long.)
Press up or down volume button until "mounts and storage" is highlighted, press "n" button.
use up/down to highlight "format /system", press "n"
highlight "yes - format", press "n" (always watch for errors)
when that finishes, highlight "format /cache", press "n"
highlight "yes - format", press "n"
IF FORMATTING DATA (see above description. Most people installing via the sdcard will need to), highlight "format /data", press "n". (You need to format data if coming from the stock B&N rom.)
press power button briefly to return to previous menu
select "install zip from sdcard", press "n"
select "choose zip from sdcard", press "n"
select your CM rom, press "n"
highlight "Yes - install... (rom filename), press "n"
Make sure your rom completed successfully (about 5 minutes), then flash Google Apps.
select "choose zip from sdcard", press "n"
select your gApps file, press "n"
highlight "Yes - install... (gapps file name), press "n"
Make sure your gApps completed successfully, then press the power button until "reboot" option is visible. Remove your sdcard, then select "reboot system now", press "n"
Let your nook sit for 5 minutes to settle
If you formatted data, you'll need to do these steps:
Connect to your wi-fi: drag status bar up from bottom (you'll see a wifi icon on it), choose wi-fi and enter settings. O/W Settings > wireless and network > wi-fi settings
Set your clock: Settings > Date & Time > Uncheck “Automatic” and select your time zone
Sign in from Market (Market may not show in app drawer until you are connected to wifi; if you still don’t see it, reflash)
Your purchased and recently installed apps will start to download and install. I find it best to just let it do it's thing for about 10-15 minutes until it completes or errors out (a possibility). When finished, reboot and check Market again.
After installing a new rom, expect it to be sluggish for a day or so.
enjoy
Thanks in advance
Which Rom did you install?

Some roms have tablet-specific sections (tablet tweaks) in the settings where you can disable the lock screen (usually enabled by default).
Ya figured that out in cm7 which installed just fine. But the market won't connect. When I first run cm9

I've flashed back to 1.2.6 as well as hard reset via the default boot menu on the phone (pressing power and volume). My problem is...it unrooted and took me back through the initial setup...but all my files/folders are still on the device...photos, program folders, etc. I'm having to turn it in this week and I need to find a way to clean all this back to its original state.
So my question is this...
Is there a program that can clean this up?
OR...what files/folders are on the phone by default so I can just manually go in and delete off the other files?
Any suggestions?
Settings, storage and sdcard, unmount internal and format
Something like that. I will have to fire up my atrix to find out exactly

The android recovery (hold vol down and power while turning on) should do it. If you keep hitting Vol down after the white text pops up on the main loading screen (M with dual-core under it) you will get a ! with the triangle and an little droid dude. Wait a few seconds then tap the lower right hand corner of the screen to get the UI to show (you might have to try it a few times) then scroll down to the recovery and then press the blue ok button on the bottom left, then do the same thing again when it asks you to confirm it.
I had to do the same thing (turn it in) and that wiped it completely.
is there a way i can skip the whole registration process of a nook
i bougth a used nook and i cant sign in with my barnes and noble account cuz the person i bougth the nook from didnt unregister the nook can i bypass that like cm7 does i really wanna test out the nc original os
thanx in advance
If you want to use the stock ROM you have to first get it deregistered and then register. If you run VCM7 it does not matter.....
So theres no way to unregistered it?
If you want to leave it rooted and just de-register the device:
-Go to Settings
-Select "Device Info" under the top "Device Settings" section
-Select "Erase & Deregister Device"
-Select the "Erase & Deregister Device" button
-You will be prompted with the following confirmation dialog
-Select the "Reset Nook" button
-A Deregistration message will appear and Nook Color will reboot.
-Upon reset a Clearing data message will appear
-Nook Color will reboot again once complete.
If you want to un-rooted the Nook Color and de-register:
Step 1 (factory image restore)
-Power off the nook.
-Tap the power button.
-3 to 5 seonds after "Welcome to the future of reading" appears, hold the power button down to interrupt the boot process. (this will turn the Nook COlor back off)
* If the boot animation does not appear, add 1 to your interrupted boot count.
* If the boot animation DOES appear, your interrupted boot count is reset to zero. Start over.
-Repeat the interrupt sequnece until your failed boot count reaches 8. At this point, the nook will re-flash its /system partition. You will see the process on the right.
Step 2 (de-registration)
option1
-With the Nook color powered off hold down the n button (home) and Power Button until the Nook Color powers on.
-You will be prompted with a Factory Reset dialog.
Press POWER key to Exit
Press HOME key to continue
-Press n button (home).
-You will be prompted to confirm.
Press POWER key to Exit
Press HOME key to continue
-Press n button (home).
-A Clearing Data dialog will show. Nook Color will reboot automatically once complete.
option2
-Go to Settings
-Select "Device Info" under the top "Device Settings" section
-Select "Erase & Deregister Device"
-Select the "Erase & Deregister Device" button
-You will be prompted with the following confirmation dialog
-Select the "Reset Nook" button
-A Deregistration message will appear and Nook Color will reboot.
-Upon reset a Clearing data message will appear
-Nook Color will reboot again once complete.

I am having real problem with this build. I tried posting this question at the correct thread, but admins of forum wont let me. So I have to post it here. Below is the actual build that I am using. NAND version is what I use.
"[6.Nov.2011][MAG/cLK] NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2a (GWK74)(Android 2.3.7)[tytung_r13]" update
Everything else is working except the wifi connection. Cant get it to connect to any network. At first I thought it was due to the security type, so I got another wireless router,and make it OPEN without any security, still the wifi would not work.
Any idea will be really be appreciated since this is my regular phone.
Thanks for your input.
hmm, try clearing the cache and the dalvik cache, then fix permissions (all in CWM) and reboot.
Maybe it helps.

Am afraid, I don't know how to do that. Let me try to look at the xda website, but if you have ready made info please post for me.
thank you.
Well, first of all get into the Clockworkmod recovery.
It depends whether you have CLK or MAGLDR, check this just by trying.
If MAGLDR, turn off your phone and press and hold your "end call" button till a menu appears, now use the volume buttons to select the 8th option "8. AD Recovery" and confirm by pressing the "start call" (leftmost) button. now you should be in CWM.
If CLK, and in android. press and hold the "end call" button as if you were to shutdown the phone, but dont select "shutdown", press "reboot", then select "recovery" and tap "OK" to confirm. now it should reboot into CWM.
If you don't get those options in the shutdown menu just turn off the phone and press and hold both "end call" and "home" (the one with the little house) buttons, now it should start CWM.
Now in CWM use the volume buttons to navigate to the " - wipe cache partition" option and confirm with the "call" button. then navigate to " - advanced", press "call", and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and answer yes if it asks you if you're sure about it. then, still in the advanced menu select "Fix Permissions"
If all succeeded, reboot your phone by pressing the "return/back" button to get to the main menu of CWM and select and " - reboot system now". Or just pull the battery and reinsert. BTW the reboot should take a little longer since the phone needs to rebuild the dalvik cache.
Hope i've been clear enough.
Oh and still it's not guaranteed that this'll fix your WiFi problem, but it will give you some insight into CWM.
Hi, a friend has one of these and I'm trying to help him root/custom rom. I used the Droid X Boot strap from market after the root. I can get to CWR from the bootstarp but how do I get there from power off mode? (for example In HTC Thunderbolt it's power and volume down)
Also, can/should I use rom manager after boot strap?
I'm using Liquid's latest but very buggy, SD card won't get recognized. Any suggestions on the most stable rom (preferably AOSP)
Check my sig for an extensive Droid X Specific How-to.
Getting into CWM from power-off isn't available on 1st init roms...
But some roms have a "fail-safe" that you can turn on booting into CWM after every boot up.
On a couple (MIUI, EncounterICS) roms, a new Boot-menu has been made where you simply press the down-volume button right when this blue light flashes during boot.
(You obviously need to be on one of those roms for it to work)
I'd suggest CM7 or MIUI so far for stability as far as (true) AOSP goes.
EncounterICS is coming along nicely, however...and shows promise in the near future.
Links to a couple of roms that I'd suggest are also in the post linked in my sig.

Thank you. I actually ended up with the Liquid for her. It seems like all the problems was comong from the bad SD card which gave out and she lost everything. I'm trying to see if I can somehow get some of it back but that's another story...
I'm a big fan of CM7 but don't like to install nightlys for others, especially if they live in another state. I don't see a stable CM7 so I will wait. It appears that Liquid is also AOSP and is playing nice MIUI is nice but I'm kind of sick of it. I love vanilla Android. All these theming isn't for me.

awesome, I guess this is what I was looking for: to get to some kind of recovery when stuck. Hope I don't have to visit this post though.
I have a non rooted MotoG and it was normaly updated to Lollipop trough OTA, but when I wanted to clear the cache it wasn't possible, the usual key combination didn't work. So... I had to search for a while to found the solution, and it was? on lollipop the key combination is different from used on kit kat.
I couldn't find here that combination, so decided to share with others my findings, I hope it help someone else like helped to me.
:highfive:
Lollipop Steps
1. Ensure the device is powered off, and unplugged (not sure if necessary, if have time, try it)
2. Press and hold the Volume Down button and Power button (located on the right edge of the device) for approximately 3 seconds then release.
3. From the "Boot Mode Selection Menu" screen, select Recovery.
Note: Use the Volume Down button to scroll through the menu options and the Volume Up button to select.
4. From the "No Command" screen (Android figure lying on his back), press and hold the Power button then press and release the Volume Up button to display the menu options.
5. Select "wipe cache partition". ( Use the Volume buttons to highlight and the Power button to select. )
Note: It takes it's time, don't be afraid.
6. Select reboot system now.
Note: Allow several minutes for the reboot process to complete.
Same procedure should be also used to do a facotry reset, apply update from SDCARD and more..
