[Nook Color General] Bonnie_Raitt:
Well, I went ahead figuring "How hard could it be anyway?".

I did the nand backup with CWM 3.0.2.8

I then ran ROM manager V4.2.0.2 from internal memory.

I choose the option that allows me to download ROMS.

I chose CyanogenMod, and then chose 7.0.3.

I downloaded the ROM

I then chose Install ROM from SD card

It asked me about clearing caches, etc and I chose the default values already checked.

It installed without errors.

I rebooted and it got to the last part of the boot process where the word "color" is rapidly changing and stayed there indefinitely,

I rebooted with CWM on the SD card and tried to reinstall the Manualnooter I loaded on this NC a week ago.

Rebooted. Still hung up.

I copied my nand backup to the CWN SD card and chose restore.

It booted back to my manualnooter install successfully.

So I'm successfully back where I started.

Can someone help me understand what I did wrong on what I need to do to make it work? Thanks
[Nook Color General] ebubar:
Not sure what went wrong, but I would also suggest trying verygreen's size-agnostic approach. You keep your manual nooter and can run CM7 from an SD card to see if you want to go all the way and remove the stock BN software.

Try this thread:

Or, if you want to go crazy, you could try racks' dual boot SD card image of Phiremod 6.2 (a variation of CM7) and Honeycomb. That's what I'm using and Phiremod works great (aside from battery life :p) and honeycomb is just plain slick to use.

I know there are plenty of these threads, especially this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1093316

but right now, I'm stuck, and really confused as to what I am doing. In fact, maybe I should not root my phone at all in the first place so I would appreciate if you guys can help me return to the stock 2.3.4 on i9020T.

The thing I don't get is the "Flash the latest cwm recovery". I'm not knowledgeable on any of this stuff (which is why I'm just gonna stop what I'm doing).

I went through the instructions on this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895545

as well as:

http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/

The recovery-clockwork renaming part did not work for me on the first thread, so I decided to follow the 2nd thread...after unlocking the thing (by typing fastboot oem unlock), I typed in "fastboot flash boot rootboot.img"

It says it went successfully...but that just caused everything to be stuck on Google screen with a padlock unlocked...

Then I went back to cmd, typed in fastboot oem lock.....it locked...but it's not helping my situation.

Right now, I just want the phone to be working just normally without any rooting.

In case this is important, I'm from Canada on the Mobilicity network

**UPDATE**

I disconnected the USB, powered it on normally...Google appears, then disappears, the buttons on the bottom just lights up and I get a black screen.

Once I connected back the USB, powered it on, Google stays on, button lights stay

I would like to thank all of you in advance if you could help me out here =(

[HTC Inspire 4G] monte84:
I love the ROM (thanks adam was a big fan of phoenix roms for the captivate). However, randomly my icons will turn grey then back to green, with any theme. I would also like to know if anyone knows a way to remove the time from the notification bar and perhaps have the reception shown like in honeysense where it vertical as opposed to horizontal and percentage with the battery. Using the Galxy green theme. green notification text would be nice as well like in vivid lime for the atrix.

If anyone could point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. Not trying to sound like a beggar just determined to finish the look im going for. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phoenix-Lead:
The icons go from connected (grey) to fully connected (green). That is normal. A lot of switching is not and may just be a radio issue. Also, the time would have to be modified in the framework, not a five minute fix. Also, the honey comb signal is super easy to do in photo shop.
[HTC Inspire 4G] monte84:
I thought it might have jad something to do with the radio. i flashed the one you had suggested with the rom. how would i go about extracting the notification icons? thanks for you help.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jboxmods:
Just finished this a few hours ago, and may be moving the decimal display a little for aesthetic reasons... But battery display is based on binary, read from bottom right to left top. Built using the apk from EB v1.04 Froyo, so I know it works with that rom. I may also remake the indicator with 3D spheres for a more high end look... the images have a transparent background, so on the black status bar of EB it looks nice (screenshots in a few)

apk is put into a 7z so it will upload here rather than putting it on MU or something.

Let me know what you think. And as always be sure to backup before using - just because I didn't have any issues doesn't mean you won't.

framework-res.apk is here:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YQVDW6OS

--Added an image of the different colors in 3D that will be used. This will be a slow going change since I'm using my original and there hasn't been much of an interest (it seems). But once finished it will be put up for those that may want it.

A strange thing happened to me, i was working with the tab, and layed it

aside for a while, suddenly it shutted down, and rebooted.

(Not sure where i went wrong, or why this happened,cant remember doin anything out of the ordinairy)

Then i got stuck in this bootloop.

Tried to update, wich goes okee i guess, but after the reboot, i got stuck in a

different boot loop.

Im sure i didnt mess with the standard files that came with the device,

however i have another bootanimation, than stock, could this be causing the "second"

bootloop?

Kinda out of options now, hope you guys can shed more light to this, but i think

i have to return it to Acer for repairs. :(

Btw: great device anyway!

Just want to let you know that was not the correct update.zip for our Country you make consider going back to the USA rom. Or you will not receive the Correct Updates. If any at all. These are the files and instructions you will need to get back to stock and be able to receive all updates.

[Acer Iconia A500] swampy67:
Okay so this is what i did as directed by the guys above.

1. Download this file. have to warn you though this service is horribly slow http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...ww.filesonic.com/file/958397...pdate.zip.html

2. Put your external SD card into your computer, and copy over the file to the root of the card.

3. Rename the file update.zip(make sure it isn't named update.zip.zip)

4. Put the SD card back it the tab.

5. Make sure your tab is completely shut down.

6. Hold down the volume down button and press the power button.( dont let go of the volume down button till the screen turns on)

7. The recovery will boot and the update should hopefully restore your tab.

8.(optional but recommended) follow these steps in order to revert back to the latest OTA american version so that your able to upgrade to 3.1 when it comes out.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101859

Hope this helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] Chaz36:
Thanks for quick reply, i did exactly those steps before, and it seems that the

update goes well, then after the update, the tablet reboots loads up a bit, and then

again runs into a bootloop.

That is what is different in comparison with the un brick methods come-out, i read all over this forum.

So im a little affraid something different is goin on, with or in my tablet after the update completes.

It just never really recovers from the boot loop with or without the update.

sadly.
[Acer Iconia A500] swampy67:
Well sorry that didn't work, i am not to experienced with development for this tab, so im fresh out of ideas. It might help to start a new thread explaining that you tried to un-brick your tab via this method and that a boot loop still occurs. Maybe some super smart devs can help you.
[Acer Iconia A500] swampy67:
yeah i did that right after i un-bricked it, but thanks for the heads up anyways.
[Acer Iconia A500] SmittyRN:
For anyone else who has bootloop problems and finds his/her way to this thread, there is another option. Plug in a USB keyboard, then boot up the tab by holding the power button and volume down (the side closest to the power button) at the same time until text starts appearing in the upper left corner of the screen. Hit the home button on the keyboard, and boom! You are in a recovery screen. Use the keyboard to select factory reset, and your tab is back to the original state. You will lose root and all of your info, but you have your tab working again. There really should be a way to do this without adding a keyboard, but it works fine.

That's not normal. You can force phone UI but that's not a feature. Is it open box? Previous owner may have fooled with it. If its really 2.2 out of box and its truley a dev unit you may be able to snag a quick buck online

I got it directly from Best Buy as soon as stock was available last friday. I didn't even realize that it wasn't Honey Comb, being this is my first tablet. I did notice immediately that there were a bunch of Asus test applications in the app list. I had read that the Asus EEE Transformer Tablet was going to be receiving 3.1 at some point in the future and while I was in the update screen, I noticed it said 2.2 as the version. I took a picture last night and attempted to post it to these forums, but because I rarely post anything, it would not let me do it.

Since it truly is a DEV unit, I'm wondering how much I could possibly sell it for.

I'd also be willing to help out the dev community as much as I can, but I can't hold onto this thing for too long if I really cant get it out of Froyo...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sleepycat3:
Have been testing 2.3.3 and I found that sometimes when shifting from Wifi to 3G data connection that the wifi sharing process decides to go on full tilt and uses about 20-30% CPU cycles when monitored in real time. As a result, the CPU is clocked at 1000 MHz and the device does get warm.

Interestingly, Wifi sharing is off the entire time and is actually not even configured in the wireless settings page. So what is the purpose of the Wifi sharing process, when it is not used for actual wifi sharing? Does it serve some hidden purpose that requires it to use up so much of the CPU time that the battery just drains before your eyes?

I went to root wife's NC and had problems. Could only get v1.0 back on it for rooting. I have the 1.2.zip update. Can I flash that update, or will it unroot the NC?
[Nook Color General] tvoverbeek:
The Barnes&Noble 1.2 update.zip will only apply to a stock (unrooted) NC. Does not matter if it is 1.0, 1.0.1 or 1.1. So you'll first have to restore to stock, then apply the update. Obviously you loose root. To get root back see the Manual Nooter thread in the Android Development section (current version is 4.5.25, link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054027)

[Xoom General] fondoo:
why? why did motorola use a proprietary charging cable? it would of been so nice to have a micro usb cable to charge the xoom. im very worried one day that needle proprietary cable going to break and it wont charge my xoom anymore.

it seems like motorola is a HUGE fan or proprietary cables, especially the v60 series flip phones.
[Xoom General] treyatl2006:
All the latest tablets have proprietary cables...
[Xoom General] Digital Man:
Simple, many recent tablets use proprietary cables to allow higher current and faster charge times.

The average usb cable hooked up to your pc provides about 500mA

The proprietary cable for a modern tablet like the XOOM can deliver around

1.5A

With a micro USB cable it would take forever to charge the XOOM. Then people would be complaining about why the XOOM takes so incredibly long to charge, and bashing motorola for the problem. Instead Motorola chose to do it the intelligent way, by separating the charge function to a proprietary cable to allow very fast charging, and including the usb cable for data transfer.

When I see a proprietary cable I don't think - crap why do they do it this way. Instead I think wow great, that means this thing was designed for fast charges.
[Xoom General] xtkxhom3r:
THANK YOU lol finally someone that understands.....
[Xoom General] dilema:
plus, the input voltage in to the tab is 12v, hard to get 12v from a 5v USB supply...
[Xoom General] markread644:
For a bit more info, I too wondered about USB charging. The limit seems to be when the Xoom is running, the current drain can be upwards of 400 mA so I could see a situation where a USB charger at 500 mA would overload if you did too much on the Xoom during charging. That would be good enough reason to avoid that design mess. "Do not use during charging" would not be sufficent protection. The Moto Mains Charger manages 1500 mA for a couple of hours which is wonderful. Now if only I could charge my Nexus S that quickly :)
[Xoom General] sgtagem:
right? about time
[Xoom General] rschenck:
I am really glad that trickle charging is not possible with the Xoom, saves a lot of problems...I just wish they had used a different connector for the power. Something a bit more durable and commonly included in third party multichargers would have been nice...but one can't have everything.

I still support the seperate power cable choice for all kinds of reasons.
[Xoom General] dulaney22:
Just amazes me that folks will complain about anything and everything. Good grief, it charges in no time and runs more than a day when it does. What more can you expect?
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
I like the idea of a separate charger, but the only thing I take issue with is the design of the charger it self. Luckily, I just set mine on the dock before bed. The dock doesn't use that flimsy pin, it uses the two gold plates at the bottom to charge. :cool:
[Xoom General] dased14:
going to have to look into that dock cause i'm not to fond of the charger that it has. so the avg. use time is about a day, are you guys mod or heavy users(as you can tell i dont have mine yet ordered and waiting for it to show up)trying to get as much real world use info as i can
[Xoom General] Legato Bluesummers:
i love the proprietary cable. It is SOOO much faster. My Galaxy tab with a 4000 mAH battery took almost 4 hours to charge and i was lucky to get two days usage out of it (standby time and normal usage combined). My Xoom (no idea on mAH size) charges in 2 hours and i get 90 hours usage out of it (mainly standby but still a lot of screen on time, wiht a much larger and brighter screen to power). LOVE it.
[Xoom General] BLACK-ICE:
Yeah I wouldn't worry about the Cable its seems durable, only thing I AM worried about was how you plug the wires all on the side of the device, I feel like there's abit of give on the wires when holding it sideways, I wish it was more like the iPad.
[Xoom General] scsa20:
You know the first time I saw that the tablets used a seperate charging cable I was like, "why?" but then I stopped and think, there's no why a USB (let alone a micro-USB) can charge those suckers, so I'm personally glade that tablet makers did what they did and make it seperate.
[Xoom General] Stealyourface:
I just wish they chose a 30-pin connector instead of this tiny one. The slightest mistake while it's charging (like say you trip over the cord), and there goes your xoom for repair/replacement.
[Xoom General] bigrushdog:
Lets not rule out USB charging. Yes, I love going from 5% to 100% in about an hour. But I also have USB plugged in for hours on end when doing my thang. :D. That being said, we do not know for certain that USB charge is a hardware limitation. Yes, USB puts out 500mV. But I can tell the kernel to suck in whatever. If the hardware is capable, its doable.
[Xoom General] supremecream06:
I still think the option should have been given to us. Cuz many if not all of us have micro USB around. I for one only take a single micro USB in my pocket for my phone. So its would have Been nice to be able to charge both device with one charger. But I mean scull charge usually carry me all day. So I don't see it as a major problem right now.
[Xoom General] goofballtech:
e

Its actually 500mA not 500mV. Usb provides 5 volts at 500ma for usb 2.0 and that will be picked up to 900ma in usb 3.0. Even with this in mind it isn't the biggest problem with stoppinh usb charging in the xoom. The issue I believe is in the fact that the current charger is 12 volts and 1.5 amps. That's more than twice the volts at tripl the amperes.

Even beyond the amperage issue charging a battery that is set up to input from a 12 volt source with a 5 volts supply, even if it was possible with existing xoom hardware it would take forever!
[Xoom General] eyecon82:
I wish there was a way to have both options available for charging. Use the USB if you have no access to a AC adapter, albeit, a slower charge.
