Running Stock android.

At some point this morning my phone became 'locked' into landscape. I tried powering on and off with no result. Then tried a soft reset which it is now locked into portrait.

I've run a few apps that pull the accelerometer and the defult seems to be x:0, y:-2, and z:9 on my desk.

Is there anyway to reset or reorient the accelerometer or do i need to install a mod to do this?

Many thanks

I'm running CM7 stable 7.0.3 off an SD card. I would like to put videos on my NC, but the only way I know how is to shut down, remove the card, reboot back to stock, hook my NC up to my computer, and load the video into the video folder in My Files.

Is there an easier way to get videos into my Nook?

Thanks.
[Nook Color General] ExploreMN:
Why can't you just plug the USB cable/charger cable into your computer and click on the "mount USB" option? You won't be able to use the programs and stuff, but it should mount, right?

If not that, you can download a program called "Samba Network File Share" that will allow you to connect to it over a wireless network. I've used this before, but it is painfully slow. Took about 10 minutes to move a 500mb video file.
[Nook Color General] brucemcl:
Another option I like and use a lot is SwiFTP, free in the market:

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.swiftp

Fire it up and use any FTP client software on your computer. Transfer speeds are a bit slower than USB but not bad. Don't forget to turn off the FTP server when you are finished! :-)
[Nook Color General] jared_c:
I have no idea what OS your computer is running, but my preferred option is using scp on the command line.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Just plug your Nook into your PC and in the Notifications should be "USB Connected". Just tap that and you should have a USB Mount option.

If that doesn't work here's an App someone on XDA made for the Nook. Use it to Mount the Nook's "Media" partition and the SD's 4th partition.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
i know these questions can probably be found somewhere but would someone be able to give me a quick run down of what 1.1 and 1.2 stock is and how does that relate to 3588 and 4349? also what is the bootloader and why do some things require the stock bootloader and not CWM? and also, how do you go back to the stock bootloader, just nvflash the stock 1.1 or 1.2? and also why are 1.1 and 1.2 bootloaders not compatible with certain roms and such?

thanks in advance!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbay:
I can answer some ...

1.1 and 1.2 are the 2 common bootloaders for the gtablet.

I think of bootloaders as a layer of software that sits underneath a ROM and provides services to it. ie between the ROM and the hardware.

1.2 is the newer bootloader, which is needed by 4349, Bottle of Smoke (BOS) which is a Honeycomb distribution, and a few other. (Mountain Laurel, and Brilliant Corners which are 1.2 versions on TNT Lite and Vegan Tab).

All others 3588 (and before), TNT Lite *, Vegan Tab, CM (all versions maybe except one which I hear is for 1.2 for gadam?) use the 1.1 bootloader.

Stock recovery (update.zip and command file) , will update both ROM and bootloader, and is the preferred way to go between 1.1 and 1.2 based ROMs

CWM 0.8 will update ROM but *not* the bootloader.

So CWM cannot be used to go between 1.1 and 1.2 based ROMs.

If you currently use CWM, you can nvflash to a stock ROM (eg 3588), you get stock recovery back, and you should be then able to update to any ROM.

There is also a recovery pack for some 3588 based ROMS (maybe also for the 4349 ROMs) that has scripts to switch between stock and CWM recovery, although I do not know how well they work. Doing this would not require NV flashing.

My guess as to why different ROMs go with different Bootloaders, is that the newer Bootloaders, provide new functionality for new ROMs (due to which, new ROMs do not work with old bootloaders) and delete functionality needed by older ROMs (due to which, older ROMs do not work with newer bootloaders). However if the ROM could be made to not rely on these changes of services, they could in theory be made to work with both bootloaders. I have no idea if this is possible in practice.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
3588 use the 1.1 bootloader

The recovery is only able to start an update.zip

4349 use the 1.2 bootloader (same as Honeycomb based rom)

4349 also install a new recovery that look like CWM but is Honeycomb blue

Bootloader in this case is actually a combination of 2 thing, bootloader and kernel they are save on 2 different part of the nvflash image (2-3)

The stock bootloader is needed to be able to move from a rom using version version 1.1 to 1.2 or back, the proper method is to use an update.zip since this is the only method know to update the bootloader (NVFLASH doesnt flash partition 2 and 3)

To go back use UPDATE.ZIP with a STOCK 1.1 recovery, you can even nvflash the recovery directly using nvflash (position #9)

Why are they incompatible? good question, mostly kernel related afaik, there's now cross compatible kernel available that allow you to use a 1.2 bootloader with a 1.1 rom (see Clemsyn thread) this also provide the capacity to use similar rom from other brand (seem like the gtab was using an older bootloader)

very interesting subject that do require reading a few thread to be safe...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crdnilfan:
cbay, Thanks that was very informative. I had been wondering the same question.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
wrong, Nvflash doesn't update the bootloader, so the only correct way to move from one version of bootloader to the other is the update.zip method with a STOCK recovery (it also need a rom with the command "write_bootloader_image("/tmp/bootloader.bin", "EBT"" in the updater script )

Like you mentioned CWM doesn't flash the bootloader

if you check the process during nvflash, partition #2 and 3 (actually it's all the same partition only splitted in parts) are not flashed...

they can however be read using the correct command

Everything else is right, hey 2 answer for the same lazy question he's a lucky guy...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
p00r, I'm very curious about that. Have you done a binary compare before and after nvflashing with different bootloaders to confirm it? If not, I may try it myself. I use nvflash to move between 1.1 and 1.2 based ROMs all the time and have never had any trouble with it. I do agree that it is probably better and safer to use stock recovery for normal usage but I've never had an nvflash fail on my tablet due to a difference in bootloaders so I'd like to learn more about it so I can use that information to avoid trouble.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbay:
What I meant was, nvflash to a stock ROM like 3588 and then use stock recovery to update to a 1.2 based ROM, instead of CWM.

As far as I know this should work, as nvflashing to a stock ROM like 3588 would get you to stock recovery as well. (Right?)

Also, at any point when updating to a ROM using stock recovery, it is good to read the thread of instructions for the particular ROM as, it may contain more steps of wiping data/ cache etc. Some ROMs may also require a change in partitioning.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
What do you want to compare exactly ?

There's plenty of post that explain the issue to move between 1.2 and 1.1 roebeet used to call this softbrick when he discovered the 3991 leaked viewsonic rom that used 1.2 bootloader...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
Yes as soon as you nvflash a stock recovery over anything and then use the recovery to do an update.zip of another rom type it will work.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
wow thanks for the help everyone! i hit the thanks button to everyone who replied.

im running the clemsyn + calkulin version 5. does anyone know how to find out what version of the bootloader that is? there is a version 6 released requiring 1.2 and i also wanted to tryout the honeycomb version.

also, a backup image created with CWM - does it back up the bootloader, rom, and kernel? or just the rom

thanks again!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
Compare the bootloader before and after the nvflash. I've seen all the threads on moving between 1.1 and 1.2 and quite frankly I've never had any trouble using nvflash to do it regardless of which ROM I'm going to or from as long as I use the appropriate bootloader in the nvflash command. Based on that experience I would say the bootloader is being updated on the tablet or else I would have had considerably more trouble. The only time I've seen any trouble moving between the two is when trying to use ClockworkMod.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scyld:
Err, that wasn't really a "lazy question."

Everything on here and elsewhere assumes you know what "1.1" vs. "1.2" means without explanation. There's hardly anything anywhere that explains what they mean to new users.

I'm not sure how asking a question which isn't answered anywhere else is "lazy."
[EVO 4G Accessories] usmaak:
Hi,

Wife loves her Evo, but hates the battery life. She really uses it, so she has to keep it on the charger. I have a Platinum (aka Seidio) 3500mah battery and love it, but she doesn't like how it makes the phone "huge". So I got her the Sprint battery. It's not much smaller, but apparently it is good enough. But she won't use the phone without a case. This is probably a good thing, because she drops it. Much more often than I like. I've been looking for a good case that will fit the battery. I've seen several posts that say that Seidio's Surface extended case will work. But I was thinking about the purple Laza case for Laza's extended battery (can't post a link. It's on Amazon). She loves purple, so this would be perfect. Does anyone know if this would work, or if there are any other cases that I should consider for her phone?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouthernEvo:
In terms of cases your gonna be limited on what you can get . In the case of the Seidio (which I have) I had to cut the back out of a TPU case and more or less make a bumper case on my phone . Essentially you could do the same with the Sprint 2600 and its backplate . But you will still have a hump coming out of the case . The Laza case I believe only works for their backplate unless you are planning on getting that with the purple case . Like I said your options are gonna be limited . In terms of cutting a case like I mentioned before . If you take your time and measure it out very well you would almost believe it was part of the extended battery back and one piece .
[EVO 4G Accessories] usmaak:
Can you buy the backplate separately from the battery? I didn't see it for sale anywhere, but might have missed it. I'd be fine doing that if I could do it and if it would work with the battery. I'd also do it for my Seidio battery as well. I'd rather have one of the silicone cases than the Seidio case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouthernEvo:
More than likely you should be able to buy the battery back by itself . I know Seidio sells their battery back as a seperate part . As for other battery manufacturers I am not sure about .
[EVO 4G Accessories] life:
search amazon wireless, they have alot of cases from different sellers gathered in one spot.
[EVO 4G Accessories] usmaak:
Right. It's just a question of finding one that will fit the Sprint 2600 battery. It has an oddly shaped battery cover. If I could replace the battery cover with something more common, then the world of cases would open right up... ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] jalai:
May this help you decide

For what would be cheaper than the cost for a back elsewhere I thought why not just get a cheap battery for the price.

The 2600 battery I have is a cheap chinese version its the same size as the 3500 I got from Amazon, they fit the same back... Appears to be the same size as sprints 2600.

http://www.amazon.com/Laza-Sprint-Extended-Battery-Silicone/dp/B004LOBXZ2

The 3500 (generic, not laza) was 8$ and some change, comes with a back (exact size as lazas 3500 battery back) and fits the laza silicone case (you mentioned) that I also got (14.99) and it fits perfect, so you could use both 2600 and 3500 batteries with same back..

Those and a 6$ hdmi cable qualified me for free shipping (took about 2wks)... but all for under 30.

Backing fits case, contours and protects well, awesome battery life

after calibration. I been using for about 3 wks now.

No complaints ...it is bulky but I got big hands and it feels sturdy.
[EVO 4G Accessories] JoshuaAlba:
i bought my case from gorillagadgets.com check it out. pretty nice and fits the phone w/ extended battery
[EVO 4G Accessories] balldeep:
I have the 2600 from amazon and I wanted to get a silicone case but if a 3500 is that cheap and both batteries can fit the case I'll get the battery too and go with that!

-thanks for the heads up
[EVO 4G Accessories] ElAguila:
I have the seidio innocase extended and it works with the 2600 battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] usmaak:
Do you happen to have the link to the battery that you bought. Buying an ultra cheap battery for the back sounds like a good idea for me. I already have the 2600mah from Sprint and it's too late to bring it back. I used it for a while, and I liked it, but in the end, I opted for the Seidio 3500. So I want my wife to use the 2600 from Sprint. :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] jalai:
this one..price fluctuates a buck or two...it's cheap but holds up well!

[EVO 4G Accessories] uget2seconds:
If ur wiling to do a bit of modification, you can fit the sprint 2600 battery inside of a ballistic case.... I have it and its a beauty, no one ever knows that theres an extended battery inside unless i pop out the cover

I just got this tab and like every other android i get I rooted it. I used superoneclick -- worked fine. then downloaded cwm and flashed the recovery. of course when i went into recovery it was 3e so i couldnt actually use cwr without the bypass fix. Anyway -- i used some recovery fix -- which i think was for a vibrant -- wasn't thinking. Once it rebooted into recovery it showed some yellow letters then went blank. The computer still recognizes it but the tab won't boot. i can reset it by turning it off and on but it only shows tmobile splash and the yellow letters scrolling in recovery then goes blank again. please help. i've been reading everything but no one seems to have had this problem.

Which did you go with? 2.2 or 2.3.3?

Let me know what your tab currently says in settings, about device.

Hold down the back arrow, and while still holding a second later, press you powerbutton. Let go.

Shoulda taken a screen shot. Uoload it here or just write it down.

I can guide you from there.

get the samsung usb drivers. Included in keis, but google and download just usb driver if you dont have kies.

There is.a box on the left below an open window, is it blank? (no yellow color?)

If so, your okay so far. If not and it has a yellow, still good.
