[Nook Color General] virtualkaos:
Nooks that are rooted sell for about $40-50 more than unrooted ones on Craigslist (in NH anyway) -- Just an FYI.
[Nook Color General] ExploreMN:
I find just the opposite. Unrooted ones tend to sell for less because of the loss of warranty. I would return it to stock and let the seller know that you can root it for them if they want. Give them the option. People like options.
[Nook Color General] akarol:
Hmmm... I'll definitely give the buyer the option when I post it. What do you guys think about the volume button issue I posted above though? Should I mention it?
[Nook Color General] cfrock:
Definitely mention the button. Or, have it swapped out for another unit at BN. If I purchased it from you and felt the button didn't function as intended I'd let you know; and be unhappy as well.

-sent from my supersonic evo
[Nook Color General] ExploreMN:
Agreed with both comments from cFrock. Either mention the button or get it replaced first.
[Nook Color General] akarol:
How long does it take to get it replaced? I'm worried that the new Nook will be released (24th of May) before I get my Nook Color back and will significantly reduce the price of this guy?!
[Nook Color General] bhess:
I thought the new nook being released is a black and white reader only?
[Nook Color General] akarol:
Oh, is it? That's good to hear! Didn't know about that. I'll probably send it in for a repair then. Do they pay for the shipping costs?!
[Nook Color General] bhess:
I had to find the article. I can't post links yet.

technology.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474979295988

Barnes & Noble will announce a new black and white Nook on May 24. An updated new Nook will replace the technology-lagging first generation e-reader. The new device will directly compete with the base Amazon Kindle.
[Nook Color General] ExploreMN:
They cross ship if you don't mind securing it on a credit card. So you would have the new one within a few days and then you have like 7-10 (I think) days to ship your defective one in.
[Nook Color General] akarol:
Really? Oh well, it's already posted on eBay. I don't think it's an issue as the buttons are working fine. Just require a harder push to get recognized. I figured the buyer can handle that if it bothers them that much. My friend's NC had similar issues, so I don't think it's that unique of a problem to be worth mentioning.
[Nook Color General] jadambpharm:
I think it's kind of uncool to not mention the volume button in the listing and if I received it like that, there's no way you'd keep the nice feedback score. The fact that some other people have had the problem is a non-issue. I find it's always worth it to be honest, even if it costs you a few bucks in the end.
[Nook Color General] 7tehzombi:
Hah, just came across your auction while browsing for deals on NC. Looks pretty good, not enough people on there give good closeup pictures like that. I think I'll keep an eye on that and see where it goes. :)
[Nook Color General] akarol:
Cool! :P

Well, like I said, it isn't broken or anything. Just requires a strong push. I see it as a common symptom around here and Android Central, so I don't think it's really worth explaining and possibly scaring potential buyers away.

Same Problem

HUAWEI IDEOS S7 - Running Indonesian 2.2.2 Rooted

I loaded the newest Netflix.apk from the internet.

It installs fine, lets me log in fine, NO ERROR messages about my "phone" not being supported.

Go to play a movie and it loads the player, title of movie appears at the bottom of screen, you hear 1 second of sound, then it abruptly goes back to the netflix menus.

The same thing happens no matter which movie I select.

WE ARE SO CLOSE! Any ideas on how to fix this?

[Xoom General] discstu37:
Hi all,

Trying to understand this concept and unsure if I missed a step or I need to wait for a new custom kernal.

The new 3.1 came with a new bootloader. My previous bootloader was locked; does the new bootloader need to be re-unlocked, or do the same settings apply? (I am assuming it would need to be unlocked again via the same method via ADB, right?)

Second, I was running Tiamat 1.4.1, which allowed me to keep SD card support, which is great. However, I am no longer able to overclock. Why would SD card support be enabled but not the overclocking?

If it is important - the way I came from 3.0.1 to 3.1 is by following BRD's instructions for 3g users in the development thread by flashing the 4 files.

Thanks in advance!
[Xoom General] jase33:
you do not need to re-unlock the bootloader. the overclock is done within the kernel and the SD card control within the system. since we do not have a custom kernel for 3.1 yet, you cannot overclock.
[Xoom General] discstu37:
Thank you - the SD Card/kernel issue makes sense, I just needed someone to connect the dots for me:)

A follow up to the bootloader question though, if it's new, why wouldn't it need to be re-unlocked? Wouldn't it come pre-locked? TIA! :)
[Xoom General] jase33:
the botloader was patched when you updated using BRD's method.
[Xoom General] lrs421:
Thanks for helping me out jase, you're a gent!

anybody here bought an unlocked SGS2 and was able to use in japan? theyre alreafy selling the phone in amazon japan, but im not sure if i can just insert my sim directly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tokyorob:
The SGS2 unlocked you can use on the softbank and you can get a USIM only on DoCoMo

However wait till monday the SGS2 will be released on DoMoCo as the SC-02C

Rob
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tokyorob:
Holy Cow !!!!!

85,000 JPY for a SC2 that's 650 UKP

I wouldn't buy it from there .. look at Clove in the UK 528UKP and if you export it to japan they knock the Vat off so it's 440 UKP with 35ukp shipping thats 62,000 JPY

I have used clove before and they are very good
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring_GT:
really? thanks!

can u give me the site then for this clove? actually i am currentl under two year contract with softbank (packethodai) so it would be xpensive if i transfer to docomo. so i just plan to get one unlock SGS2 and just use my sim now. current handset is htc desire
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring_GT:
u mean i have to get a usim from docomo to use it? cant i directly insert the softbank sim i have now?

[Android Software Development] m11kkaa:
Hi,

I think, mostly everyone of you knows the command "format DATA:".

I got a device where the command doesn't exists.

Since it's ARM-Based like the most of the Android-Devices I thought I can copy the binary from another device.

But I cannot find a copy :(

Maybe anyone of you could help me.

m11kkaa
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Please provide some more context. This makes no sense to me.
[Android Software Development] m11kkaa:
I thought it was clearly...

I got a new Android-Device(a MultimediaPlayer for TV) and if I wanted to wipe Data I always used "rm -R -F /data/*".

But I read from the command "format DATA:". And I tried it both on my normal phone and on this Box but it cannot find the command.

So I hoped anyone can copy the binary from /system/bin from a phone where it works so I can try this out.
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
"format DATA:" is a command run as part of a install script contained in an update.zip meant to be installed from the recovery menu. It is not a command that can be arbitrarily executed on the device.

There should also be an option to wipe the user data from the system menu.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] tomoni40:
I have tried to unlock this Cingular HTC 8125,and I am having some problems after unlocking the phone with lokiwiz 3.

This the info on the phone at startup:

IPL: 2.25.0001

SPL: 2.25.0001

GSM: 2.25.11

OS: 2.25.11.1

I managed to unlock the SIM,and instal a t-mobile SIM Card. I can receive calls,but when I try to make calls to another cellphone,it gives me a recording,that that particular phone is not receiving calls at this time.That is not true,because that is my son's phone,I can place the call with the same SIM Card from my regular t-mobile phone.It only happens with the HTC 8125,after the unlock of the SIM card.

I did not unlock,the CID,and I wonder,if I have to do this,or any other tweak to correct the Problem.

According to the info on the phone,it suppose to be a G4,not a G3,but this is a phone that is 4 yeras old,I do not think at that time,Cingular had any G4 phones.

Anyhow, I would appreciate any help with this problem.

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] MotoCache1:
Over in this post Cellzealot opined that I might be willing to share the pinout of the "factory cable" clone that I worked up. I absolutely am, but needed to find several hours of free time to do the writeup, images, etc.

The other night I set aside the time and did the writeup. If you would like to make your own cable, you can read the writeup here.

To oversimplify it, here is the map:

The map is simple enough. The main problem (as detailed in the writeup I linked to above) is that since pin 4 is normally unused in a Mini/Micro B connector, there is no wire connected to it (to tie to), and in the case of the Mini B that I surgically dissected, the actual pin for pin 4 was nipped off at the back of the connector as well.

This doesn't preclude you from making a cable as you can always order brand new connectors and solder them up any way you like.

I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have in this topic.
[Atrix 4G General] paravorheim:
great guide

Thanks for linking this to us! This would be tremendously useful to many on this forum. My question is, since the docks Motorola sells basically do the same thing, could the process be applied like callen81 did to make USB host functionality? It seems like the same process is used, albeit simpler.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Or just buy a USB 3.0 cable! :)
[Atrix 4G General] undisputedfb:
ya i picked up like three for like 1.50 each. monoprice.com has alot of cables for super cheap, good quality too

edit, i also got the 10 footers so i dont have to be bounded to the 4 footer that comes with it
[Atrix 4G General] eval-:
Guys, a factory cable is not like the micro USB cables you buy, nor the standard "OTG" micro usb cables/adapters to become USB host.

Notice that PIN4 is tied to POWER, the +5V on PIN1, not to ground on PIN5 as in OTG cables (or left floating like on most mini/micro cables.)

This cable is essentially for being able to nvflash the phone, although perhaps it has other uses I am unaware of.
[Atrix 4G General] bearsfan172:
It can also be used to charge the phone while flashing SBF.
[Atrix 4G General] banes:
isn't it also possible to use a usb keyboard with this method given that you have a usb powering hub in the middle?
[Atrix 4G General] the2dcour:
The most useful thing to do at this point would be linking places that sell easily modified cables / adapters. As he said 99% of cables you find will not have the 5th wire connected or soldered on to the connector. Even if I had a cable or source of cables that had an easily solderable 5th pin this cable would be decently cheap to make. Most of the space cables I've hacked apart just have 4 solder points and a 'dummy' pin #4 (what, to look cool?) sigh.
[Atrix 4G General] MotoCache1:
I can't say for the Atrix, but for every other phone I've used the cable on, while it will power the phone while flashing, it will not charge the phone while flashing.
[Atrix 4G General] cellzealot:
They do indeed have many other uses besides the nvflash interface which is strictly for Tegra based devices. They not only power the device without battery, but autoload the Motorola networking driver and other interfaces for diagnostic mode NV access with both Motorola and Qualcomm service ware as well as flash tools like RSD Lite.

The device is always initialized properly and identified by the applications for various operations.

Similar powered cables have been used for all P2K generation Motorola devices for many years in various configurations. The real factory cables are made with a Mini USB B end and come with an adapter so they are compatible across a much wider range of older devices.

We hope very much that getting this info out will generate a lot of outflow for the many ways to apply the unique properties of these cables for newer devices.
[Atrix 4G General] MotoCache1:
In another topic Kholk had an idea that does away with the "missing pin 4 on the micro" problem. You can sacrifice a Motorola Mini-to-Micro USB adapter (SKN6252) which is wired for all 5 pins. This makes it a heck of a lot easier for the average Joe to make one and avoid the expense of buying a custom-made cable.

For most folks that would try this, that tip is all they need to proceed. If you want more detail, I did a step by step here.

If you make one up, post up and let me know how it went.

Enjoy!
[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
I'm working on making my own, just to see if it'll work. I think it's going to turn out more frankenstein-y than yours, however.
[Atrix 4G General] MotoCache1:
Cool. I'd love to see it when you're done (if you wouldn't mind posting a pic). As long as you get the pinout right, it will work. Your attempt can't possibly be worse than my initial prototype was. If you have an SKN6252 lying around, you could actually make a pretty respectable looking cable.

[Atrix 4G General] ParrotSquawk:
Does anyone know why Moto is allowed to call their connector USB when they don't comply to USB.ORG's standards and do things their own way?
[Atrix 4G General] ParrotSquawk:
Moto has been using nonstandard USB cables since they came out, many of which were dumb devices. The reasoning that they needed to be different so that they can do X Y or Z is bull. They want to lock you into Moto cables. No one has ever shown a logical reason for being different. You can flash phones with regular USB cables so the logic for a different format holds no validity.
[Atrix 4G General] uisgdlyast:
Does this mean we could make one of these cables and have the phone "think" its either docked in the car or in the HD dock? I assume for the HD dock you might need added power but why cant I make a USB cable, plug it into my phone and hook up a USB hub to it like the dock?

not to hi-jack but it would be interesting to see if anyone has made their own docks, somehow the 3.5mm audio is integrated into the dock and is played through the usb cable...
