[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob1216:
Im looking to buy a used nook color off craigslist for android only could care less about using it as reader, just wondering what specific model/firmware should I be looking for that is most easy to root and put a custom rom on, Most off them I see on there say 1.2 thanks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evaders99:
The newer ones with 1.2 seem to be shipping with a different partitioning. My understanding is it only affects things if you want to install on the EMMC. If you install and boot on a SDCard, you can install anything you want.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elagil:
It does not matter much since you can repartition any nook color as it seems (I did aswell...)

You just need to flash those to files in Clockwork Mod recovery and your partitions allow the installation of any system to emmc:

1. flash "repartition-1GBdata.zip"

2. reboot (so the partition table is loaded)

3. flash "reformat-Data.zip"

Watch out...I still do not have 8 post so I have to insert spaces in the links... just remove them (after http and www)

any help? ive edited it before, but i dont know how. im pretty sure i did it this way but im not sure why its not saving properly this time.

running calk+clemsyn rom/kernel combo.

thanks!

Copy it to another folder edit the copy and then move the edited file in the correct folder.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
tried that already, didnt work. got another error
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoTeC:
I use Root Explorer to do any editing.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
Any other suggestions? I'd rather not have to pay for it
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
If the build.prop you want to edit is in /system, then you'll have to mount /system read-write before you can modify any files there:

$ su [I]Become superuser. Prompt will change to '#'.[/I]
# /system/xbin/mount -w -o remount /system

[I]Edit the file[/I]

# /system/xbin/mount -r -o remount /system

You must have the Superuser app from Market and busybox installed on the gTablet for the commands to work. If you can't edit the file in ES File Explorer because of permission errors, copy the file into /mnt/sdcard via the command line, edit it there (or on the PC after removing the card), then move it back into place in /system and restore the old permissions:

$ cp /system/build.prop /mnt/sdcard/.
[I]a) The build.prop file in /mnt/sdcard should be editable now in ES File Explorer.
Edit the file, then do:

OR

b) Unmount the SD card via Settings > Storage, then remove the SD card and
edit the file elsewhere. Plug it back in, and, after it mounts do:[/I]

$ su
# /system/xbin/mount -w -o remount /system
# /system/xbin/mv /mnt/sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
# chown root.root /system/build.prop
# chmod 644 /system/build.prop
# /system/xbin/mount -r -o remount /system

All this is much easier through adb if you have that setup.

Note: Do not type the prompts--the '$' and '#' characters--in; they're just there to tell you what the Terminal screen should look like.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbay:
Did you have ES file explorer in Root mode?

In Es file explorer

Settings->Root Options -> both boxes checked, (HiAPK mode for first box)

I usually copy the file to sdcard and modify it, get ES explorer in root mode and copy it back. Do a backup before, in case you mess it up.

I usually use a terminal in su mode for editiing/copying, but that might not be needed.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
if i use CM Mod, i cant see any files. if i use HiAPK, all the files have -rw and a lot of stuff before it and i cant read anything, but it does mount. CW had problems mounting the drive. im gonna try out the terminal commands
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
when i tried the mv command to move it back, i still got errors in moving it and was not able to
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Try

/system/xbin/mv /mnt/sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop

instead of plain 'mv'. The default Android mv command is idiotically implemented. (See this post if you're interested in the details):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13956585&postcount=4

Using 'cp' command instead of 'mv' should also work; this way, you'll also have a backup of build.prop in /mnt/sdcard/.

thanks so much again. i finally got it to work, but i just wanted to get netflix to work, and it still doesnt. after all that work. ugh.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGurl:
Thanks, I tried two other applications and they didn't work. Was able to edit with Root Explorer. didnt fix the Netflix playback. Bummer.

***** changing the Nexus S to HTC Vision and samsung to HTC did the trick.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramerco:
Root explorer will work, and is a great app. Worht the money.

Also, ADB from a PC will work as well. Just install the android sdk and use ADB.

From windows cmd prompts the commands are just adb remount (to remount as root) then "adb pull /system/build.prop" (this will pull it to the sdk platform-tools folder that adb.exe is in) and then edit to your hearts delite.

"adb push build.prop /system/build.prop" to send it back.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritfiend:
I was able to use ES File System by unchecking the Mount File System option in the Root options menu and then rechecking it. I imagine that it forced a remount of the file system in a writable mode.

This worked on our nabi big tab hd24

We now have true multiuser, where everyone has their own login, files, emails, bookmarks, web history, etc; as it should be.

I first did a factory reset, then installed kingo root, then another reset, did the build prop edit this suggested (es file explorer did not work) but build prop editor did....

We now have the nabi big tab hd 24 running as our primary desktop workstation computer...

No we just wish for a room update to be made available with the latest version of Android.

4.4.2 is getting old, and as is common little manufacturer long term support...

[Acer Iconia A500] eliteone:
Before anything...... install titanium backup, and promptly run a full backup :-) then do lots of reading on this site to see what kind of modifications siut your fancy, but be careful.... we don't have a custom recovery yet, bricks can be very hard to fix without that.

[Acer Iconia A500] Deltaechoe:
Until a custom recovery is worked out, if you don't know what you are doing i would definitely hold off on modifying your system as bricking your system will render it a complete brick

AdFree

Download AdFree from the Market, and enjoy browsing without ads. IMHO, this is a very safe app to install, and one of the first things I do when I root a device. Even if you don't do anything else it's worth rooting the device to get rid of ads.

So sorry...thought rooting would be under developement. I'll be far more careful in the future.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffreygee:
I just rooted my Nook Color following this guide. Everything went well, however the Nook app will not download books that were previously bought from the store. It will download books from Project Gutenburg (I am assuming it made backups on the B&N servers and redownloaded from there). I get a message saying "Could not download items. Please contact Customer Service at 1-800-THE-BOOK."

I have read that this may have something to do with deregistering the Nook, but I don't want to jump the gun as details have been slim. Any thoughts? Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustydog20:
Same thing happened to me when I re-rooted after having the nook color loop when updating to flash 10.3. When I re-installed all my apps from titanium backup, I selected all apps and it replaced the bookreader file from B&N. The only way I could get it to work was to do a factory reset and then just restored using missing apps on titanium.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffreygee:
I'm sorry, that went a bit over my head. I know what Titanium backup is, but I'm not sure how that fixed the problem.

Use that only and keep the gb bootloaders or use odin one click to get the stock bootloaders and then use that to fix the bootloop. Odin one click is the only way to get both stock bootloaders, a bootloop is completely recoverable and if you want stock bootloaders it's part of the process with your phone.

[KIN One and Two General] Antonpup:
Well, the time has come.

Kinuser1 has gotten into the phone and was able to reskin and change configs a little bit. Making the phone have no icons and no status bars on bottom (time and recent).

Also a few glitches were found.
[KIN One and Two General] 4LC4PON3:
He stated a guide will be put up tomorrow sometime to show how he made the Kin Writable so lets see if hes telling us the truth or not. This could be a big breakfor us. Crossing Fingers
[KIN One and Two General] Antonpup:
Indeed sir. If I get access to the KIN's filesystem, then I'll try to make some modifications to Themes, Apps, and maybe Sounds.
[KIN One and Two General] johnkussack:
Interesting, very interesting.

But on the other hand, i think that skinning is the last thing we should do, if the OS storage is opened.

Trying to open any non-kin-native App and/or the storage to the "user" like crazy peeps could be better.

So i like that "few glitches" instead "reskin"
[KIN One and Two General] Antonpup:
you can follow all the progress on FaceBook page.

I personally want to reskin the most. If new OS becomes available, then I'll update.
[KIN One and Two General] johnkussack:
I guess that i will wait. The relationship between facebook and me became a bit cold.
[KIN One and Two General] 4LC4PON3:
He said he will be posting a guide here on XDA around 5:30 or 6pm. Hes at school. Once this guide is up Im looking at you Kussack to get cracken if this thing is real. We want a new OS lol
[KIN One and Two General] johnkussack:
That's guaranteed to happen if a door is open... lol.
[KIN One and Two General] 4LC4PON3:
lol yeah I cant wait. I so want Android or even windows 7 mobile. I really do hate the Kin OS
[KIN One and Two General] jthree2001:
wow, I've been reading a lot of John's and 1's post, I'm by far the biggest noob to this but I want to help. :p
[KIN One and Two General] jthree2001:
and I love the thought of windows phone 7 on the kin, even a watered down version would be enough for me. I would just like to see some apps and facebook integration back, that would be awsome. Idonno something like the live blocks on phone 7 with the contact syncing we see in phone 7 or even the non M kins.
[KIN One and Two General] johnkussack:
calm down, calm down. Putting another OS here is not a piece of cake, and in any attempt, there is the (high) risk of bricking. That including a normal flash, not a experimental space orbital thing.

Also, we dont know if we can replace things around, or just put red instead green in colour things... so slooow down.

who is in the line to do the tests? I'm not buying another kin though! (3 is too much).
[KIN One and Two General] Marcellus1:
I'm all for exploring this rabbit hole as far as it goes, but I agree with JohnKussack that we should calm down about this being the breakthrough for a new OS. It may or may not be. Personally, I think even some small improvements to the OS we have can go a long way, such as being able to add or remove (Win CE?) apps, change the skin, replace the browser, enable flash, etc.
[KIN One and Two General] jthree2001:
yea your right, just wishful thinking
[KIN One and Two General] jthree2001:
how many have you bricked xD I think 1st we should come up with a recovery, which I'm sure your opensorce file system could help with
[KIN One and Two General] johnkussack:
Just 1 one (and was enough, rofl).

I'm kinda .... skeptical yet. Personally, i doubt that a new os is feasible and think that just "filetweaking" is available (which would be OK for testing apps).

On the recovery... that's why i got another one. It's older brother is awaiting in a fridge.

Unfortunately, the mtp->storage wont be an option for it.
[KIN One and Two General] 4LC4PON3:
One thing I would like to see honestly is the Kin being able to play games. Not through Wifi either. games like angry birds or something.
[KIN One and Two General] Spectredroid:
I might be able to help.

I might be able to do some testing on things. I am new to kins, actually mine is arriving soon, but not new to bricking phones. :p I have done alot of work with android, and now have a tablet. I use it so much, I am giving up my thunderbolt, and switching to the kin twom to save money on data. I like the look of the phone, but I can't resist hacking away at every piece of electronics that get into my hands. Anyway, I am looking forward to being part of the kin community, and I hope more people get into this phone. :cool:

So here's my situation;

Im 17 years old and work 40 hours a week since my dad lost his job two years ago. I was looking for a new phone on craigslist since my hero is getting old and I'm not eligible for an upgrade. I met with a lady and as I was calling sprint to check the esn and make sure it was clear, the call kept ending for some reason? I gave her the benefit of the doubt and gave her $100.00 for an LG Optimus S in brand new condition. Turns out the esn was unavailable due to the account it was on had been suspended. she pulled a fast one on me. Oh well. I want to take the (clean) esn from an old Samsung Reclaim and use CDMA Workshop or a similar program to 'clone' the Reclaims esn to the Optimus. then I will immediately destroy the Reclaim. Does anybody know if the free version of CDMA workshop will do what I need or can someone who has the cracked full version p.m. a download link to me? I'm desperate and I sold various things (old iPod, boombox, etc.) to pull together the money for this Optimus and I'll be damned if a scammer on craigslist is gonna screw me over with a phone thats now as good as a paperweight. Please help. Thanks all and God bless.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:

Just to put this out there.. JN101 is mentioned as a product model in various source files and configs.. it seems to have the new tegra2 3d (t25) proc.. Its called the Journey..

cat /system/etc/projectmap.conf reveals this.. I took a look at it before, but that was when I was browsing the 2.2 'dev' rom.. So yup..

I don't care if this thread is incorporated into some FAQ or deleted.. just some info for those who were wondering (in threads that are in this forum.. not general.. hence posting this here). General is the last place i'd look if i was wondering what the hell JN101 was.

as a bonus round.. it looks like the output for the nvram of the broadcom board is in the /system/etc/ dir.. doesn't really seem to be a conf file, but i could be wrong.. it could actually set values.. they are kind of cryptic.

pa0maxpwr=74 is the one that most people would be interested in.. its also the most self explainatory.
