Sorry if this is available here, but I am not having much luck with the instructions that I tried.

I have an auto-nootered 3.0 NC & want to return to stock in order to apply the 1.2.0 update. ( I run CM7 from SD when I want to really have fun) I tried the 8 fail boots & ended up in a boot loop to CWM recovery. What is my easiest (non-ADB) method to get this thing back to 1.1 stock? Again, I apologize if this is right in front of me, but most of the relative threads that I found are very old.

Thanks,

followed by instructions here to restore to stock

and lastly to side load the 1.2 update.

I had to restore to 1.1.0 after autonooter 3.0 by erase and dereg., then 8 starts; 1.2.0 then installed fine.

[Nook Color General] UnderDaHill:
For those of us that do NOT have CWM (ClockWorkMod) recovery installed on eMMC, but do have CM7 installed to eMMC, can we use the 8 boot trick to reset our nooks to stock?

I'm running CM7 on my eMMC that I installed using the "CWM on SD" technique. My Nook stopped booting last night after midnight. Since I did not change anything with the OS and had rebooted a couple times earlier in the day, I'm ASSUMING that the 1.2 update came down automagically via wifi late last night, and was unable to complete install when rebooting. I did not see any prompts or input from the Nook during use or on reboot that would have indicated that and update had been received and/or applied.

Also, I was under the impression that the 8 boot reset pulls the software off a chip that has the OS "cooked" into. Is that correct? If not, wouldn't an eMMC install of CM7 remove any chance of the 8 boot reset being successful?

EDIT: just read the linked instructions above. I'll give that a shot tonight.
[Nook Color General] chinly43:
Anyone have any ideas here - I successfully removed CWM from my NC, then did the eight boot interrupts, and the stock software reload thing seemed to go okay. When I try to reset data by holding down power+n, nothing happens. It turns on, but then right back off. If I try to boot without holding n, it stalls on the "n" screen.

Any thoughts?
[Nook Color General] GorillaPimp:
Flashed again with cwm up to 1.0.1 and I can't update to 1.2 or 1.1 via internal memory or sd. I changed file names and verified checksums and they are accurate and still no dice. WTF:mad:

edit:-----------

Weird. After an erase and deregister 1.1 and 1.2 finally went through. Something must have not been in the right state without that.

So if you're getting stuck do both methods in Part 2 of http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
[Nook Color General] zentsang:
Same issue as others

Yeah... same issue here. Was running 1.0.1 rooted (no SD method). I did not have CWM Recovery installed in eMMC but did make an 8GB SD CWM Recovery.

So after the failed push update from B&N ... I now have the boot loop issue. My guess is their update failed because of some root thing I had in place. Not installing CWM Recovery to eMMC was my biggest issue because at least that would have blocked the automatic update from B&N.

At any rate... I've tried multiple time to recover and now find myself going back to unrooted stock just so I can get the B&N working again.

My wife is gonna kill me if I can't get this thing working again soon. The new magazine issue of "US" is about to come out. =)

Yes, that works, but that restores the Nook back to 1.0.1. How does one then get it back to 1.1.0?

I followed the same procedure using the 1.1.0 firmware, but it refuses to work.

Hi all,

As the title says the efs map of a SGS from my friend is empty. He had JVK on it and wanted to put JVB on his SGS, but when he rebooted his phone the phone didn't ask for his pin number. So he is not recognizing the SIM. Now i went with root explorer to the /efs folder and there is nothing in it. So if i call the number for IMEI it says IMEI: . So there is also no IMEI number. I don't know what he did with his cellphone but maybe you guys can help me out? I already putted froyo JPU back on it and that didn't help either. Oh and there is no backup, don't know why but i know its very stupid
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiyaFleye:
In the Zune app, when you're at the main page, to the right there is the history of music which has been played. Upon a clean reboot, when you swipe left to pivot right, the history shows itself just fine. However, there are times when I'll swipe, and it'll skip the first two boxes of history, the two on the left, and you'll have to slowly, and I mean slowly, swipe to get access to those two boxes. I cannot pinpoint what's causing this, and it started after my NoDo update. I'm thinking two things here, either just a plain bug when music is played, or my bigger guess, when G-Alarm goes off, it causes this somehow, until I do a soft reset. G-Alarm is the only third party app I have that access my music, so I'm leaning more towards it, but I just want to get more information from you guys.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiyaFleye:
So anybody?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imkarl:
I have an HD7 with nodo and haven't experienced this problem. I tried to recreate your problem but with no success. I do not have G-Alarm and will give that a try later. You may want to try uninstalling G-Alarm and see if this problem keeps happening.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiyaFleye:
Hmm, I mean, it isn't ground breaking tbh, and G-Alarm wakes me up, which is more important than those boxes sliding by too fast lol... But I'll probably uninstall it just to see if I could pinpoint it...

I also recently restored to 7008 to unlock my phone, and then reupgrade to NoDo, and the problem was still there. G-Alarm was installed way before my update though.
[Galaxy S II General] kersey:
I'm buying a Galaxy S II sim free when it's release and want to insure it.

Have you guys/gals got any recommendations of where to insure it. I'm UK based.

i know CPW provide geek insurance if bought from their store for around £12.99 per month but have seen a number of internet based insurers quoting around £6 per month but which of them are legit. Am also looking for laptop insurance too.

House insurance is not an option as i live in shared accommodation.

Would be greatful if anyone can help from their experiences.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] Shaady:
Does your bank provide it with your account?

I know some do, so it might be worth checking it out.

12.99 is crazy money a month, no way i would go for that.
[Galaxy S II General] BoogWeed:
IMO, £12.99 per month is way too much to insure the phone. I know the phone is valued around about £500, but still...

Also, you will probably have to pay an excess fee of about £100 on top of that if you make a claim.

I'm probably going to upgrade my standard LloydsTSB bank account to the "Silver" account. It costs £2 per month for the first 2 months and then £7.95 per month after that.

It includes:

- Mobile phone insurance (repair or replacement up to £2000, accessories up to £250) and covers Loss, theft and accidental damage

- AA Breakdown cover

- European Travel insurance

+ some other stuff too...

Check it out with your own bank before you buy insurance from CPW.
[Galaxy S II General] kersey:
Thanks guys, will give the CPW insurance a miss for sure.

Will check out the Lloyds suggestion as I'm not too sure about using internet insurance companies as they may be cheap but who knows the hassle if you have to claim.
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
mines £6.95 through natwest they use a company called ccp . co. uk.

very good tbh i claimed last year and i had full handset price given to me, only have to pay £25 access.

you dont have to go through the bank just search for that company
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
lloyds silver account provides free insurance for 1 mobile phone but the excess is 50:mad: . i personally wouldn't bother with insurance,warranty for a year is good enough for me.
[Galaxy S II General] kersey:
Just checked out CCP, they seem to have changed their T&C, they only cover up to £400 and excess is now £50.

Thanks for the info anyway mate.
[Galaxy S II General] gaijinboricua:
other insurance options

I am not sure if these guys are reliable, but its worth a look http://www.betterbuyinsurance.co.uk . Between 20 and 50 pounds for a year depending on the amount of coverage.
[Galaxy S II General] kersey:
They seem to be the same company as these http://www.insurance2go.co.uk/ , with the same address and registered company details.

I did try to email BetterBuy but the email bounced back as no such user so I assume Insurance 2 Go are the latest incarnation of the company

REALLY! crazy im almost finished my 12 month contract with them so i guess ill be faceing the new price if i continue, i had iphone 4 and they gave me £500 in my bank and i payed them £25 access,

Let me start by saying I am a complete newbie… I have read for about ten hours and have managed to get Android working on my HD2 via the SD card. I have tried a few different versions and can see where this can get addictive pretty quick.

Onto my problem… I have yet to be able to get my data to work while in Android. I have tried it in 3 different version of droid and it still does not work. It works perfectly fine in winmo but nothing in droid. It shows up in the top of the screen like its connected but it won’t actually connect. I have read a bunch of posts and changed the APN to everything under the sun and nothing works.

Currently I am running AmeriCanAndroid 042311 on my SD card.

Here is some other info if needed:

Rom version-2.13.531.1

Radio version-2.10.50.26

SPL-2.10.00008G

Any ideas on why the data is not working. I posted this under the general section as I do not believe this is specific to the Americandroid build as it does not work in any version.

Can I do this with SPL 2.10?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
You shouldn't have any problem with that SPL 2.10. But I just looked back at your first post, you have a fairly old ROM. I really suggest you update your ROM and Radio. You can go to the t-mobile.com and download the latest stock ROM for your HD2. Just type "HTC HD2 update" in the search engine for the site on the home page. You will need to get your IMEI from under your battery to enter into the site. Make sure you back up everything and to move all pictures, video, documents, and etc. to your SD card causevwhen you flash the ROM you will be back to factory again when it first boots up. It is well documented on here that the newer ROMs are best to have if you want to run Android from SD card. You flash the ROM the same as the radio via SD card. But to get to the file hou need to place on hour SD card you have to right click on the .exe file you downloaded and rename it to a. zip file. Then right click on it afain and and select view or open which ever one you see and find the RUU_signed.nbh and copy it to the root of your SD card and then rename the file on your SD card to LEOIMG.nbh. Then you know the rest. The radio and ROM will flash together so no need to flash the Radio seperately.

Quick Question why do you think you need HSPL to flash a radio? Cause I very confident you don't. Unless you know something I don't. I know the master radio thread says so but there are people that flash radios al the time without having HSPL. I think the OP of that thread got a little confused or was thinking about the lottle bit of added protection HSPL gives you from bricking your device but that is only because HSPL does not vet chanved when flashing via RUU. But it gives hou no protection against flashing the wrong radio to a TMOUS. Also stock ROMs flash a radio everytime hou flash one and they use standard SPL.

Anyway at the OP did you ever get your Data working?

Since I run TOR on my computer I figured I'd check into it for Android and wouldn't you know, it exists. In this age of tracking and privacy going out the door, it's nice to still be able to retain a bit of anonymity.

EDIT: I figured I'd add a small explanation for anyone that's interested in this and doesn't know what TOR is.

Without getting into great detail, some of which I'd have no clue what the hell I'm talking about, it's a way to be anonymous. If you do it correctly no longer will your IP address show up as you current IP which can be used to spy, hack, trace, ad target, and so on. Your IP will show up as something else. e.g. My current location is Overland Park, KS - my IP will reflect this, my ISP also knows my exact address from that IP. With TOR my IP shows up as being located in say, Russia. Problem solved, no more tacking and other bs.

This isn't a pass to do what you want online, you're still a human so act like it. It's just a take back a little bit of privacy and anonymity.

Thanks theSpam

UPDATE: I fixed the issue of Orbot not connecting me to the TOR network. There are more in depth methods but I'll just give the quick and dirty version. After installing Orbot make sure everything is unchecked in setting except: start on boot, transparent proxying, tor everything.

Download ProxyDroid and in setting:

proxy host: 127.0.0.1

Port: 8118

Proxy type: HTTP

Auto connect: check

Global Proxy: check

don't mess with anything else unless you know what you're doing.

Now you can check your IP or use Orbot to check if you're on the TOR network. Enjoy.

So you know what Tor is then?

Well I installed it and so far it's working aside from not actually connecting me to the network. My IP stays the same so I guess I have to do a few things manually, oh well. When you first boot up and it's starting it eats the processor like a fat lady eats cake but that goes away after 15-20 seconds. On the plus side it doesn't start loading until after the system has finished loading completely so boot times aren't effected.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
To simplify things, TOR does onion routing which involves routing your traffic through a number of hosts to final host called the exit node. Exit nodes directly communicate with other hosts on the Internet. The use of exit nodes and encryption throughout this process provides anonymity. See this for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network)
