[Q] What did I do to my phone??

For the most part I was just looking for the wifi tether app. So I did one click root and everything was still good. Downloaded rom manager, everything was still good, installed the clockworkmod. Phone rebooted and I had to do the update thing. Phone rebooted, still good. Installed busybox and lost the ability to usb tether my phone. Removed the busybox and got tether back. Downloaded the beast update and told rom manager to reboot into recovery and installed update, rebooted, update didn't take, did it again and still nothing. Finally booted phone and manually entered recovery mode and ran update. This one took. Now I go to try run the wifi app and it force closes. Tried to run super user app, force close. Tried to run rom mananger to restore last backup and super user fails there too. Any ideas?

This doesn't belong in development.
I would suggest you flash back to stock using Odin.

Post in Q&A
You removed busybox which is necessarily for many rooted apps, hence you get a lot of FCs

Why don't you pruds try to help and not criticize that is what is wrong with this Dev Forum God forbid if you all come down off your this is a dev forum.

It looks like you rooted twice with 2 different apps. Not sure what that would do bit it cant be good.
I would one click to stock, then run unleash the beast and be done with it.

Moved to Q&A.

Thank for moving it to the correct forum, I guess I figured since it was a problem with something from dev that is where I should post, my bad. As for the rooting twice the post said it was ok if you were already rooted.

Ok, so I used the one click root and took it back, re ran unleash and still same problem. According to the post it should install busy box at the time of the installation. It didn't, I downloaded it but it won't install.

Thanks, I flashed back with odin. I was able to install the beast, however wifi tether continually crashes with force close. I tried to update with the new install but it still crashes.

[Q] Cannot See Free apps in Market!!

Good sirs,
Recently, like since last week, I cannot see any of my installed apps in the Android Market, under "My apps". Consequently i also cannot see any updates to those apps.
The ONLY thing, I see there are the apps I have purchased, and any apps I newly install...
I have a captivate running cognition 2.1.6.
anyone else having this issue?
HELP!!!

Have you tried clearing the data?
Menu button->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Third Party Tab then scroll down and choose Market then click Clear Data.

Try the above first, if that doesnt work, go to the market and download Eris Market Fix. This app worked for me on my captivate before.

im running 2.1. dont see a third party tab.
but i did clear the cache. did not help.
then tried uninstalling the updates to market. it said uninstall failed.
Now my market is completley gone!!

I'd suggest three other things then...
First would be to restore from a backup... you did backup your apps when you flashed right?
Second would be to use or get SGS Tools and try the Market Fix option there. Find it here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936727
Third would be to search vending.apk That's the market apk, then download it and sideload it.

I reinstalled a whole new ROM...
BTW, I heard that using the new market web interface will break the market on devices with custom ROMs. is this true??!

I haven't heard of anything lime that. When I was on 2.1, I had a blackmarket app that allowed.me to upgrade my market interface. I have never had a problem with not being able to see free appear tho. I suggest backing up anything you have that's important and after attempting any fixes that others will and have spelled out, try a ODIN3 restore. I don't have any links but it will fully restore your phone to stock. Some of your data should still be there but it will do a full wipe and restore. Other than that, don't listen to me. I only have 3 posts.......

Thank you. I finally got this to work as far as I have the Super User app installed on the phone. I thought if I had this then the phone is def rooted yet when I try to delete ATT bloat ware it still won't let me.
Is this only because its still running the factory 2.2 froyo. Will the full SU benefits be there one I flash whatever ROM he wants on Monday ?
And what is the best rom for the cap ? I have the Eris running a GB rom that I love but I'm sure this phone is different

go to the market, download titanium backup. use that to uninstall, unwanted bloat...you cannot use the native package installer/uninstaller to remove system apps.

Tried using Astro and E Strongs both and niether worked and they are non native. I'll give TBU a try.

Tbu is the most popular app users use to remove apps. And it worked for me do I hope it can work for you

My personal preference... Firefly.
The Gingerbread ROMs are still Beta.

ok i have to agree... firefly...

Thanks all. I don't think it's going to matter since when I reboot into recovery I do not have the option to "flash zip from sd card". I got it rooted, installed rom manager and flashed clockwork but to no avail. This all seemed to go so smoothly when I did our eris phones.
I have his "wireless tether" working and was able to delete a ton of ATT bloatware but I think he's going to stuck with the stock ATT 2.2 ota rom.

As you have already been told in this thread you need to make sure you have modified your 3e recovery to allow cwm to work.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z

Check out TRusello's signature "3e recovery fix" also after you boot into recovery from rom manager you have to "reinstall packages" twice, then you will see all the options...

you need to reinstall packages in recovery twice.
also you need the to fix 3e recovery before you can flash the cwm .zip.
look @ the stickies in the general section. there is a thread on working around 3e recovery. it contains a link to a batch script that'll fix it
there is also odin(tethered) that can replace the kernel with one that has cwm baked in
and sgs kernel flasher in the market that can do the same from the phone as long as it's rooted.

bit.ly is great...
3e fix in my sig 100 hits to-date (dirty version)
3e fix in the 3e thread 1 hit (cleaner version)

New to Nook.

Just got my Nook today, and am interested in rooting it. I'm looking for the best method to do so.
I have rooted my HTC Inspire using Bubby's one click method, so I'm not completely unfamiliar with the process, but want to make sure of the preferred method for the Nook before I started.
Any and all insight would be appreciated.

That would be appreciated, things I'm wanting to do:
- Market (I've got various items I paid for, that I would like to try).
- Fix ROM Manager, when trying to download, I get "Must upgrade...", then a force close. I'm assuming this is because I don't have the paid version installed, which I can download from Market (since I purchased it)
- Install Amazon Kindle (for the irony factor).
Any insight would be great, since I'm obviously new at this (I've owned my Nook for about 15 hours)

I used the method described in Cyanogen's wiki and had the same issue. I ended up having to install through recovery instead of ROM Manager.

So is rom manager not working for you?

OK, I am now officially pissing myself. I am now able to get into Clockwork Recovery, I've wiped Factory/Cache/Dalvik, applied CM, and after a system reboot, it just goes back into recovery.
Help!

I am not having any luck whatsoever, and am afraid I bricked my device.
I've attempted to do a CM install (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide), but after putting the image on, and rebooting, it goes to black, but never comes back up.
Not sure what to try at this point.

OK, something new, I was able to return back to 1.0.1, but when I get to step 5 of setup, it indicates there is a problem, and to call B&N. It reports that the serial number, model number, and Mac address ing as "MISSING", and it is at version 1.0.1.
I do have a blue dot on the box.

Update to Koush's Bootstrap with BP Tools Support by Hashcode

Hashcode has modified Koush's fully functional bootstrap so it can be booted from power-off using BP tools!
http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/p/android-downloads.html
Nice work!

So do we just uninstall koush's bootstrap and then install this one
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App

I just installed over top the existing one. Already had it installed. It worked perfect!
I'm able to get into the full version of CWM using BP tools.

Seeing as how I have been using Koush's bootstrap, I am assuming I need only remove the 'original' bootstrap and use this one in it's place?
P.S. This is what we needed. It works! Wow. You should perhaps remove the prior bootstrap before installing this new one. To avoid contusion. This new one says 'tweaked'
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium

Yeah, it makes sense to uninstall the original version. Otherwise you'll have two installed (with duplicate names and icons) and kinda makes it confusing.

This is a massive help - I've been fiddling with the 5.6.890 ROM, but its painful as everytime I get an unbootable system, it needs a reflash to get to recovery - that means being near a PC every time I want to try a tweak.

Doing a nandroid backup now...

Nandroid backup and restore successful with this new install.
Apprehensive to restore from older backups now even though this should be the same version of Koush's since it's his core app.
Thoughts?

We have yet another new recovery coming shortly, with cm7 support. Cm7 is booted, but don't expect anyone to see it soon. It needs a good week or 2 before it becoms beta. Radio, wifi, etc don't work yet. The new recovery will have a way to swap between cm7(for now, probably all roms later) and back to stock system very easily.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App

I do have a small problem with this...
Downloaded, installed, clicked on "Bootstrap Recovery" and granted Superuser Permissions. Then, my phone rebooted. And since then, every time it came up, it stayed alive just up to the message where Superuser grants permission, and a new reboot took place.
I am, however, able to access the new recovery via BP tools.
Managed to get back to an operable state by removing the apk via adb. Still, I wonder how that strange scenario could happen and what I could do against it?
Notes:
The phone is running the "old" firmware, Superuser 3.0 and the newest su that came via the updating tool. Did some unbloating as well, some time ago.

CWM always fails!
Everytime I go into recovery from bp tools. I click restore it always ends up saying "error in restoring system!". No matter which back up i click.

Do you think that there is any plan of updating the "Market" version of the Droid 3 Recovery Bootstrap ? Or is this something else ?

what does BP tools provide?
noob question, what does this do for us that Koush's bootstrap doesn't? I've never heard of BP tools.

Basically this version allows you to access CWR when your bootlooping. Koush's bootstrap is supposed to kick over to recovery after the first loop, but if it doesn't your basically SOL and the only way to recover your system is to flash the sbf. What hashcode has done is modify it so you can also enter recovery by holding M while powering it on, and getting the boot options. You can then scroll down to BP Tools, and it will boot over to CWR. Thus if you bootloop you still have an option to get to CWR and your backups.
This is the same as the version on the market with tweak of the the extra boot optioni. ROM manager works fine with hashcodes tweaked version just like it did with Koush's version

it may not support your old backups... try doing a new backup, and restoring it... This tends to happen when recoveries first come out and new ones take its place..

Just did another full backup and restore with this version. No problems at all.

Thanx to Hashcode for this and his work, champion effort.

ok forgive me, but i bought koushs, and downloaded hashcodes. i was going to rename the current apk to bak and drop the new apk using root explorer, but what directory am i suppose to look in? data/app has com.koush.droid3.bootstra-1.apk, but im not super familiar to android yet (obviously lol)
edit: also i didnt see any d3bootstrapanything in system/app
