[Q] CM10 Beta5 Nook Color WIFI Switch Inactive/Greyed Out - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Title. I've searched numerous threads and haven't found anything related. Bluetooth 'seems' to work it at least turns on, haven't tried tethering to any devices.
CM10 is installed on eMMC. Not sure of all the information you need to help me resolve this issue.
Wifi worked fine on beta 1. I've tried at b2,b3,b4, and one the currently installed b5 and no luck.
Wifi works flawlessly in CM7(SD).
See images below.
Any help greatly appreciated. I apologize for the bad quality images, taken with phone camera.

Beta 5 is way out of date. Upgrade to the latest CM10 encore nightly at cyanogenmod site.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I just updated to cm-10-20130114-NIGHTLY and I am experiencing the same issue.
Wifi switch is greyed out / inactive bluetooth switch still working.
Could my device be defective or is this a software issue?
If there is any more information needed to help resolve please ask and I'll provide to the best of my ability. I am no dev. lol
Thanks again.

You might want to go the CWM and do a factory reset to clear out any carryover issues from your earlier installation. That means you must reinstall all your apps and settings though. You might want to backup your installed apps with Titanium Backup first. Then after resetting reinstall the apps with TB without their data.

Go to settings and look at about tablet, status and see if it gives you a W-Fi MAC address.
EDIT: I just looked at your pictures and it says unavailable. Look in /rom with your root file manager and go to /devconf and look for MACAddress and see if there is a file there and if so, what does it say?

I don't seem to have that. The directory rom directory is.
/rom/BCB
/rom/max17042.bin

You need to do a repair. I will be right back with instructions.
Edit: You need to have available a CWM either on your device or via a bootable SD. Go to my NC tips thread linked in my signature and get a zip attached there named romrestore-CWMflashable.zip. Then boot to your CWM and flash that. If you do not have CWM, you can get it also on my tips thread in item A10. That zip should repair your /rom directory from a backup on your device. If it does not, you have bigger problems. Let me know.

booted into cwm via bootable sd card installed romrestore-CWMflashable.zip and the directory /rom is the same as above. I don't like where this seems to be headed. What are these 'bigger problems?' :\

There is a partition on the device (p3), that keeps a backup of that /rom (p2) which stores your MAC address and other vital info. Without that info in /rom it can never connect to wifi or do some other things.
When you flashed that zip, did it give you any error messages? And what file manager are you looking at /rom with? If you truly had no /rom/devconf folder with files in it, it should never boot to CM10 (or anything else for that matter).

I've used two different file browsers, Root Explorer and Root Browser. Yes when I installed that zip and rebooted the device I got this screen. See image.
i49.tinypic.com/2jab1c2.jpg
/rom still only has those two items? That's weird.. So I shouldn't be able to boot anything... Is there any way of fixing this?
EDIT: I decided to see if I could navigate to /rom/devconf with the terminal and it does list it with ls however when trying to cd to it, it gives me an I/O error.
"sh: cd: /rom/devconf: I/O error"

I meant error while still in CWM. That error is from the stock recovery. Try now to go to my partition repair thread in my signature and get the repair partition 2 zip and flash that. By the way, what recovery are you using to flash these? CWM on bootable SD? What version?

It sounds like you have a permissions problem on that folder. That is why it boots ok, but CM10 cannot get access to it to read the Mac address. Flashing that p2 repair may fix it.

Any thoughts?

[Q] No status bar / No notification bar

edit: SOLVED - details below
Every version of Cyanogenmod I install on the nook color has no status bar. I've wiped caches when installing, and still no dice.
The device seems to be saving things somewhere, though, because when I start the new ROM, all the old apps are still loaded, and their positions on the home screen... so I assume the problem is some sort of app data that's been corrupted somehow or something, but I'm at a loss about how to proceed.
Is there some simple solution (a setting somewhere to toggle?) that will fix this, or do I need to do something more drastic?
Should I be doing a full "factory reset" and starting from scratch that way? If I do that, do I need to re-"nooter" the device before flashing Cyanogenmod again, or will the "root" status be kept if I "factory reset"?
Or is there some way just to delete all app data, reflash, and start from scratch that way?
Sorry if this has already been asked. I tried searching fairly extensively and couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance for any advice.
edit: Turns out all I needed to do was delete the /data partition in recovery and everything reset properly.
Thank you for posting your solution for anyone else with this problem in the future to see, far too often people will edit their whole post to say *solved*, and give no explanation.

I wouldn't say jerks. They just don't know any better. The jerks are the ones who answer a question with something like "Google is your FRIEND". This is fantastic I just searched Google and that's how I ended up here!
I've usually got a few projects going on at one time that requires alot of searching and I see that alot. If that's the best answer you got then don't post. In good communities someone is usually around the corner with some copy and pasted info.
I'm having the exact same problem. Where is there an option to delete the /data partition in recovery? Under "mounts and storage" I found "format /data" but I keep getting a error when I try to do so.
Thanks!
SOLUTION FOUND: I figured out that due to fact that it was a newer Nook Color, it had the different size for the data partition. I flashed the partition resize pack and reformatted, now everything works great.
Adding to the solutions!
Okay, so I don't have a clue how to delete a partition in recovery (no option for that, or silly me I couldn't find it) and even though ed209 correctly offered that the partition had to be re-sized, I was like, "great, and I have no clue how to do that either!". So in the interest of sharing how I did get to a fully operational modified Nook Color please google, "How to make a bootable CWM (ClockWorkMod) version 3.2.0.1 recovery sd card" (androidforums link). I followed the directions and was able to get the partition size matched up so that the menu/navigation bar now shows up! Hope this helps someone else runs into the same problem.

No that won't work for you. You need to tell use what system you are running. Rooted stock, CM7, CM9, CM10? And do you have the ROM on internal memory or SD. Then we can tell you how to fix it.

[Q] Need to Restore Nook Color to stock 1.4.3

Hello,
I need help restoring my Nook Color to stock 1.4.3. I installed ClockworkMod on my SD Card and thought I was installing MIUI onto the SD card, but this installed to the entire tablet. I have tried the 3-finger boot 8 times, but it doesn't work for me. I have followed multiple directions in Google searches, all with outdated links. I can operate from Windows 7 or Ubuntu using the dd command, whichever is easier. The main problem is I am familiar with flashing ROMS, but keep running into outdated links! Please do not repost old posts with outdated links. Thanks for your help!

Nook Color SD Card ROMs
Does anybody have a CURRENT list of Nook Color ROMs that can be installed to the SD Card, along with all necessary links, including the SD Card img file, ROM download link, gapps download link, and instructions of how to do so? I am only interested in installing them to the SD Card, and I would prefer ICS ROMs, which are compatible with Adobe Flash player, and can handle Netflix and Hulu+. Thanks!
This is what I also want. I want to give my Nook to a friend, but it currently has CWM on it. I would like to delete the CWM and install the latest Nook Color update. My friend is technically challenged, and I don't want CWM popping up and perplexing the hell out of him. My friends, please direct me to the easiest, fool-proof way to do this.

I have two threads to help you. If you want to go back to stock on internal memory, look at my Nook Color tips thread linked in my signature, item A15. If you want to put cm9 or cm10 on sd got to my updated sd installation instruction thread also linked in my signature. If you want to install a different rom on internal. Look at eyeballers guide that he just updated recently.

I have a nook color that was root and wife wanted to go back to factory so I have apply the nookcolor_1_4_1_signed-cwm.zip. Once I did this I then start going through the setup and having problems when I go through the setup the nook is giving a error about no network connection even though it is connected to the wireless. I talked to tech support and they are saying you have to download 1.4.4 update to fix that issue. So I have done this and put it on the SD card which then after a short while it detects a update and does it thing but for some reason I keep getting a error E: failed to verify whole-file signature and then E: signature verification failed errors when it tries to apply the update. If I disable signature check and try to apply the patch it gives a error saying e: can't open /sdcard/nookcolor_1_4_4_update.zip (bad) if I rename the .zip file to update.zip it gives the same error e: can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad). Any one know how to fix this or get around this? I cant finish setting up the nook color to start using it again with out this update because a error with the no network connection. Thanks.

[Q] MN5 (More noob English, please)

Just trying to work my way through GMPOWER's tutorial on rooting the Nook Color.
I have some REALLY basic questions that are probably covered in the instructions, but if it's NEW, which it is for anyone reading here...it's confusing:
For example,
1. What is meant by the bold, red warning........"You must do a complete wipe before installing this package." Does "wipe" mean FORMAT? If yes......format what? The NOOK? The SD card? Both?
2. In the video included in the tutorial, there's reference to an unZIPing program being required to 'uncork' the downloaded files. The narrator says to right click and unzip the files. (When I right click on my zipped files, the only command I see that MIGHT an unzip function is "Extract all". Is that an unzip program?)
3. The most 'complicated' process of all, (to me, anyway) the selecting of the files and unzipping them and "flashing" them (is that just another word for copying or installing?) is passed over so quickly and with the camera so far away from the screen in the video....it's very difficult to see and understand exactly what is happening. For example, at exactly 4:06 into the video, the narrator says to right click on the CWM file.....at which point, it looks like he actually LEFT clicks it and it opens to show TWO files.....and he then RIGHT clicks on one of them, but doesn't say what it's name is or what it should do.
Sorry to sound like a whiney noob......but, remember, only noobs are watching this; otherwise we wouldn't be watching it!
Can someone please elaborate on the click here.....now do this......then do that.......then you will see this......and now you have to do these? I'm sure I speak for more people than just myself when I ask this.
Thanks very much for any help.

I'm running CM10 and have not seen the video you speak of... But I think I can help with some of what you're looking for.
1. Wipe and format are often used synonymously. For example wiping your system or data partition on your device is the same as formatting. If the video is talking about the SD card, the same philosophy applies. A formatted card is ideal before starting.
2. Again, unzip and extract are somewhat synonymous. What program they are likely referring to is 7zip. It's a powerful compression and decompression utility.
3. Flashing describes the process of installing a package(ROM, zip, etc...) from one media(SD in this case) and installing it to a normally read only media (the Nook's internal drive. Including the system and data partitions of the disk) This is usually done through a recovery program that starts up instead of the normal OS. In most cases it is Clockwork Mod recovery (CWM) or something very much like it.
Like I said, I haven't seem the video and never went the manual nooter route. I totally wiped stock nook and went the CyanogenMod route. So I can't comment on the video's vagueness in this case. Maybe another member has some insight on this.

Hey, propjockey.....thanks for the 'patient' explanations.
I've made a little headway in terms of preparing to root my Nook Color.....but when I tried to use DiskImager....I got an error:....."An error occurred when attempting to lock the volume.

Anybody know what might have generated this? Or, what I should try next?

Yes, that means you have windows explorer looking at the drive. That locks it so it cannot be written to. Close windows explorer and try again.

Thanks very much for the suggestion, leapinlar,.....but I'm still getting the Lock error even after making sure ALL windows of Explorer are closed (especially any for the SD drive).
Dumb question: I don't think either the text from GMPOWER or the video ever state WHERE the win32 diskimager and/or the clockwork-3.2.0.1 should be residing when these operations are taking place. I would ASSUME they're all supposed to be on the SD card....but I've been wrong before when assuming!!
Also, when I first tried this, I noticed I had downloaded (and possibly extracted) the win32diskimager-source.zip (SOURCE) version as opposed to the BINARY version. Should I start over? With a cleanly formatted SD? (my formatting took a long, long time when I initially did it.......not using the Quick method, as I think I saw advised somewhere.)
Thoughts? Thanks!
EDIT: Actually, I think I just answered PART of my question: when I tried it again (after formatting the SD and putting ALL three zipped files on the card) I got a new/different error:
"Image file cannot be located on the requested device." So, I guess that means that at least the "eyeballer" image file CANNOT be sitting on the SD card while you attempt to "write" it there. Yes? No?
Therefore....by the same token....is it safe/possible to run the Win32DiskImager from the SD card.....or should it ALSO be located somewhere else during this process??
ANOTHER EDIT: Tried removing the image file from the SD card, then running DiskImage and selecting the image file that I'd downloaded and unzipped to my hard drive. STILL got the "lock error". Getting frustrated. Most grateful for any suggestions/help. Please and Thanks
You definitely need the img file on your PC before you try to burn. Having it on SD and putting that location in the image box will definitely lock the card. Try again with nothing on the card and no other program running.

That was apparently my problem
I formatted the card back to being a virgin.....put NOTHING on it. Went to Win32 on my hard drive, launched it, found the eyeballer image on my HARD DRIVE and selected it to flash onto my card in the G-drive.
And away it went!!! Lovely! Just friggin lovely!!
Now, since instructions everywhere often seem to be devoid of these fine "details".......could you be so kind as to give me EXPLICIT directions on what to do next? (I'd hate to turn my Nook Color into a paperweight at this stage!)
The sequence of events (i.e. when the nook gets turned on/turned off/hooked up/ etc seem to be different in different places........I notice even the video from Acsyndicate TV, they insert a little apology in the corner saying they forgot to turn it on; DOH!! Also, I see elsewhere that the Nook should be connected by USB at some point during this process....and yet the guy in the video doesn't have a cable showing anywhere any time. WTF??)
Thanks tons for your help leapinlar.......I'm almost at the point of not buggin you any more!

The sequence of events (i.e. when the nook gets turned on/turned off/hooked up/ etc seem to be different in different places........I notice even the video from Acsyndicate TV, they insert a little apology in the corner saying they forgot to turn it on; DOH!! Also, I see elsewhere that the Nook should be connected by USB at some point during this process....and yet the guy in the video doesn't have a cable showing anywhere any time. WTF??)
Thanks tons for your help leapinlar.......I'm almost at the point of not buggin you any more!

Installation/rooting successfully completed, but now unable to download any apps because of "Sorry there's not enough space......." error appearing for every attempted download.
Is there a secret.......let me rephrase that.......what IS the secret to deleting all the crap that must be in there taking up all the space?
I rooted a virtually STOCK Nook Color (1.4.3) using manualnooter-5.08.20.basic.block_updates.zip - and it appeared to be fine, but I'm assuming there's a routine that must be followed to either "turn on" the ability to download......or free up some space to download......new apps.....which, after all, is the only reason we root these things.......right?
Thanks for any/all info.

You apparently have a lot of B&N stuff (apps, games, etc) installed (1.7 GB worth), but 3.35 GB should be plenty for installing more apps through Play Store. I don't know what your issue is.
Edit: You do not say, but I am assuming you meant downloading apps with Play Store. If you meant downloading some other way, like a browser, you need an sdcard to do that and you have not said how much room your SD card has.

OK....good feedback....THANKS!
1. Yes, I mean to download using Play Store (which currently is labeled MARKET. Presumably it'll update itself and change its name to GOOGLE PLAY when we get the storage problem solved.......will it?
2. I have next to no previous apps or media (maybe 4 apps and 4 books and 3 magazines) downloaded to the NC......but, perhaps it doesn't take much to fill this puppy?
3. I don't even have an SD card in it at this point. I removed the one I used to do the rooting because it booted to it when I started up the Nook this AM........and I assumed that was a bad thing.....or, at least unnecessary.
Should I erase the "rooting SD card"........or "keep it in a safe place" and use a new one for downloading/storing apps and media?
Thanks,
Mike

1. It should have changed itself immediately. That may be indicative of the problem.
2. Are any of the books kids interactive books? They take a lot of space.
3. If you did not make a backup with the CWM card, and you don't plan to restore the backup in the future, then reformat the card to use as a normal SD. But I recommend you do the backup and keep the card as CWM. Then get a new one.

1. Hmmmm. Hope THAT'S not a disaster. "Market" opens Ok and I can see hundreds (maybe thousands) of apps. But, I've used the search utility and searched for "Google Play".........."Google"..........and even "Market"........and no Google Play comes up in the search results. Shouldn't it?
2. No kids in the familly; no 'interactive' stuff of any kind that I know of....a couple of novels, couple of magazines.....sodoku, Evernote, YouTube, calculator, a little drum machine, flashlight.......mirror......holy crap, looks like wifey's been active after all!!
3. I DIDN'T make a backup with (of ?) the CWM card. Back up of what, exactly......the old disk image (operating system? Pardon my noobiness). Is it too late to make any required copies/backup? I just now copied the contents of the "rooting SD card" into a folder on my laptop's hard drive.......but I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about.

1. That may be the problem. It should update itself, but is not critical. The older versions of market temporarily stored their downloads on a separate partition named cache. That may be full from earlier downloads. Boot to CWM and there is an option to wipe cache. Do that. Then try to use market again.
3. The CWM card is capable of making what is called a nandroid backup. It backs up your entire operating system to SD so that if in making future mods, you make a mistake, you can restore your operating system to the way it was before you started making mods. It is too late to do that for you, but you can still backup what you have now.

I'll give that a try......booting with CWM and wiping the cache. (Out of town on family 'duties' and left the nook at home but will report back on Monday sometime.)
Thanks for "babysitting" me, buddy! Appreciate it. Have a great weekend. Later, Mike.

The wifi MAC Address is read in a file stored on partition 2. I'm not sure that is the source of your problem though since the nook usually generates a fake one if it can't find that one. One thing to try is to flash my romrestore zip in my NC Tips thread linked in my signature. It restores partition 2 from a backup in partition 3. I don't know if this will make any difference or not.

Following wiki for install, think I hosed my Nook

I've been following http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_encore and must have done something wrong. At first something popped up (I'm using Ubuntu linux) almost immediately saying something about a new ethernet connection, but I waited over 45 minutes and never had anything show on the Nook screen. I decided to re-image the MicroSD card and try again. Now it looks like it doesn't even attempt anything - another 45 minute wait, nothing on the screen. I unplugged it from my PC, removed the MicroSD card and tried to power on - nothing. I'm afraid I may have hosed up my Nook. I don't have a clue where to go from here, and I didn't want to go through the "my nook won't boot" section until I know if I need to do something else instead.
I did this a couple of years ago on a different Nook but the procedure in the wiki doesn't seem familiar, so I assume something must have changed.
Any help for this dumb old guy would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Dave
p.s. - yes, it's a Nook Color, and it shows 1.4."something" for the device before I started. In scanning the net I now have seen references to updating the firmware prior to trying all of this. I tried that when I first powered it on prior to starting this but nothing showed anywhere for an update.
P.S.S. It does power back up as a "regular" Nook Color if I hold the volume up button and the power button for about 16 seconds or so, but the wiki procedure still doesn't appear to be working even with re-imaging the MicroSD card again.
That is a really old, outdated guide. You should have been using this guide:

not working
I started again by doing a few things:
- cleared the cache and the data on the Nook (cmod 10 did install from before, it just didn't show until a complete reset)
- used a brand-new never been used 16gb MicroSD card
- followed the guide in the thread in your post and went with TWRP so I could have a graphical interface for all it
- it is impossible to everything in that guide using the TWRP 1gb image as the size of the img is close to 1gb, but the partitions it created on the SD card are only 40mb and 81mg respectively - making it impossible to copy the cmod 10 zip file to it.
I re-read everything there and saw absolutely nothing about re-sizing the partitions to take advantage of the size of the SD card prior to copying everything and then trying to boot.
I'm going to go back now and try the cwd image instead and see what happens there.
Got further, but now more problems
OK, I finally got it to boot the TWRP sd image with the cmod 10 zip, the gapps zip and the recovery zip.
However, when ever I power on the device without the SD card it comes up with the the unlock, which I do, followed immediately by:
"Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"
tapping "OK" to that I get:
"Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped"
tapping "OK" just results in a loop with the "Setup Wizrd has stopped" message.
Wireless is enabled and connected.

What versions of gapps and CM10 did you use? They must match or you get those errors.

I couldn't tell from the guide which version of cmod 10 to use, so I grabbed cmod 10.1.3."something". I used the gapps the guide said to use with CM 10.

CM10.1.3 and CM10 are different versions and require different versions of gapps. CM10.1.3 needs gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip. Try flashing that version. You can get it at goo.im.

Somebody needs to change all of these guides to say "cmod xxxx, use gapps-xxxx". All of these guides say select A version from "here" for cmod zip files, but nobody cross references them to the gapps files. The guide in question does not specify use ONLY cmod-xxxx and ONLY gapps-xxxx. I suppose it's rather late in the game given the age of the Nook Color, but that is pretty confusing for a newbie. When i did this a few years ago with cmod 7, there was a very specific how-to: download this, download this, download this.
OK, enough of my rant.
So, I downloaded that gapps zip file. I ran md5sum against it in Ubuntu linux and the md5 sum doesn't match that from the web site. I've run this download over and over and still the same results. I finally just copied it to the SD card to try it. When installation gets to that zip file it errors out "unable to open zip file.", followed by an error flashing that file message. I'm afraid I don't understand. I copy the file to the sd card, I select it in the teamwin install screen and "pull the tab" to it can install it, and I get this error. Does this mean the file itself is corrupted? If so, for how many times I've downloaded it and ran md5sum to no avail, how else do I get this file?
I just re-download everything again, checked the md5sums, createda new SD card, booted it and everything seems to have installed ok now as I don't see any error messages.
Thanks!
