you getting that because you don't have the file extracted correctly.

when you download the root.zip (folder) you should of extracted another folder called [root].

you need to store just the folder and it's contents on the root of your SD card.

take a peek at my how to root.sh your phone link in my signature.

I dropped me Epic today and cant get it to power on. I took it to the sprint repair shop and some how they can power it up and I'm not sure how they do it? I need to power it on so I can fix the problem. I am running Anonymous rom i3 so it has a funny problem when powered down and plugged in....kinda freezes on charging screen. I also cant boot into recovery and cant get into download mode. The sprint store was able to power it on twice but wont help anymore because I voided warranty by changing software lol. I need to figure out if there is an alternate way to power on besides the power button? Keyboard maybe? Any input would be helpful!
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Turn off, the power button + 1 key on the keyboard.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Didnt he just say he couldn't boot into download mode
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
Try taking the battrey out plug phone to computer and see if it powers on that way
[Epic 4G General] BigJPNut:
No dice. It keep rebooting to the battery charging logo over and over. It just bugs me that the tech was able to power it up twice and i have no luck. Any more suggestions....im open to anything?

My next door neighbor is a sprint repair tech I will ask her if I see her tonight.
[Epic 4G General] BigJPNut:
That would be awsome. For now I have battery and sd card removed...maybe magicly I can get into download mode after class

That happens a lot around here
[Epic 4G General] BigJPNut:
Well I pulled the battery for an hour....still cant get into DL mode with/or without cable. When I plug the phone in with/or without battery it still gets stuck on the battery charging logo. This is frustrating....
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
Why don't u ask the sprint repair dude how he got it to turn on?
[Epic 4G General] wj0t:
Every time I've bricked a phone I just pop in a different battery and it boots up into recovery or in our case download mode.
[Epic 4G General] Elite11b:
Well I didn't see my neighbor but my buddies wife is also a tech at the same store. I told her what's going on I'm waiting for an answer. Hopefully I'll have an answer for you tonight.
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
Also u should look into the jig or what ever is called it just plugs in to ur USB port and it jumps it into download mode. Ill look for a video for u. Give me a second.

When I went back she was off til tomarrow...all others were uncooperative due to my phone having hacked software lol.
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
That's stupid lol.
[Epic 4G General] Elite11b:
She thinks it's your battery. Especially since it won't charge when your phone is off. She said if you go to the store with just the battery and tell it's only lasting an hour or two they should give you a new one without much trouble. That's the only way to make sure.
[Epic 4G General] BigJPNut:
If all else fails I will try. The not charging thing I believe is a common bug on Anonymous i3 rom?
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
Just recently I have had the exact same problem. I am getting ready to bring it to Sprint tomorrow. I have reloaded factory EC05 on it to make sure it wasn't a software problem and it still happens. Here is how I am able to currently power up my phone.

With the power completely down and the battery out, plug your phone in (either AC or USB, doesn't matter).

Press the power button once. The empty battery icon will appear for a few seconds then disappear.

Press the power button again. While the empty battery icon is shown, plug in the battery. It should recognize the battery, at which point you should be able to hold in the power button for a second to get it to turn on.

That is how I can get mine to work. By any chance, do you use an extended battery? This problem started for me about 2-3 weeks after I started using an extended battery.
[Epic 4G General] Elite11b:
Yeah mine wouldn't charge either when I was on that rom. I think shes saying if something happened to your battery in the drop you wouldn't be able to know because it won't charge with the phone off so the only way to rule it out is to get a new battery because a new battery will have enough charge on it to boot up your phone.
[Epic 4G General] BigJPNut:
No extended battery. Im not getting an empty battery icon. The one that shows up is like a charging icon except its frozen. I tried what you said anyways to no avail.
[Epic 4G General] BigJPNut:
I beleive you are right....Im just stunned how she got it to power on twice and I cant fricken figure out how lol....
[Epic 4G General] BigJPNut:
Im starting to think because of the rom im on I cant use these methods because as soon as i plug it in without pressing any buttons i get the frozen charging logo and when i plug it in without the battery it goes to the frozen logo and just keeps reseting also without pushing any buttons
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
I believe the charging while power off is an issue on I3 along with iffy GPS.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
You know i hate that "hacked software" its open source and not to mention same software just tweaked kinda like windows: Ex. Windows XP..... few years later tweaked=Vista then tweaked majorly and now W7
[Epic 4G General] BigJPNut:
Yes I beleive thats half my problem....but the sprint tech some how, some way was able to get it to boot. At that point holding down the power button didnt not bring up the menu. I had to pull the battery in hopes of a fresh odin....now that is where I am stuck
[Epic 4G General] Art2Fly:
Look for mystery's thread about resetting the phone. There is a hole under the camera lens or flash. Put in the battery, disconnect usb or charger, and then get a paperclip or something and put it in the hole until you feel a click, hold it down for like 30 secconds, and then commence to put the phone in download mode. Odin a stock rom, and restart. Again, some of that info may be incorrect, but locate mysteryemotions thread about ressetting a phone and read that. Please give thanks

That's the magic button referenced earlier in this post. So far, nobody has been able to provide any shred of evidence that there really is a reset button (there is a hole there, but it doesn't go all the way through the plastic and there is nothing on the board underneath).

No internet yet in the new house I moved into, so I'm trying to use wired tether (wireless has always had that stupid No Internet Access with the caution triangle symbol).

Less than a week ago I tried using Easy Tether and it seemed to work fine, tried it again a day or two later and it took a little bit longer but my computer still recognized it. Next day my connection suddenly becomes extremely faulty, literally connecting and dropping about every 5-10 seconds.

Yesterday I tried connecting it and it took about 10 minutes until my computer recognized me Evo. Today I have left it in for about a half hour and received nothing, the hell is going on? I tried different USB ports, all pretty much resulting in the same thing. My cables fine because my little LED light on my phone lights up and charges, but the computer never recognizes nor does it even make the notification noise

I tried checking Device Manager just today and never before so I don't really know what my phone is supposed to show up as. Regardless I don't think it's there.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R1pTheJacka:
Update: yesterday my evo was sort of recognized after being connected to my computer for nearly 45 minutes, my phone brought up the option of choosing between charge, disk mount, tethering, etc, but my computer gave an error message about device drivers not being installed, i tried to search device manager to uninstall the drivers but it wasnt listed, seems like a paradox..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicrosoftBug:
Is it charging ok? Kinda sounds like your USB port may be borked.

[Milestone 2 General] syl0n:
I thought this was the case back during Milestone 1 days but I thought Droid 2 and Milestone 2 were pretty much same in terms of boot-loader.

Now Droid 2 has official cyanogen support and milestone dev seems to be pretty much stagnated.

Just wondering why that would be? :confused:
[Milestone 2 General] will5:
droid 2 has official cm support? I dont think so. Im afraid cm team only support devices with unlockable bootloaders?

milo 2 is as locked as defy and maybe as droid2(some people reported droid2 roms working on milo 2? without radio support, of course). If we dont have cm7, it's just because the lack of developers working on milo 2.

As more developers start working with milo 2, cm7 will come.
[Milestone 2 General] syl0n:
Yes droid 2 has official CM support in the works (just like defy).

you can see it in this patch:

[Milestone 2 General] will5:
Thanks :)

So, droid 1 isn´t officially supported? :confused:
[Milestone 2 General] roguefan99:
The original Droid has been supported by Cyanogenmod for a while. There is a list of offical devices on their front page (no Droid2, so it does need updating).

So as I like to listen to audio books very much and as I bought WinPhone I decided to write this app.

It does a really simple thing - generates a podcast feed from a folder that you give to app (with audio book). Than you "subscribe" to this self-made "podcast",set to play it from the oldest one, sync all "episodes" with your phone and that's it.

If you have a windows phone 8.1+ device please follow to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/windows-phone-...oks2-audio-t2922308/post56362244#post56362244

ElAudioBooks - my new app for listening to audio books.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Elastep:
[0.1]

First release

So there are 7 steps you need to do. They a really simple

I'll comment them a little:

At step 1 you need to select folder with files of audiobooks.

Typically you will have smth like

01.mp3

02.mp3

03.mp3

etc. in the correct folder.

At step 2

I try to get and sort all files of audiobook.

You can have 2 types of sorting for now:

like string: 1.mp3 10.mp3 2.mp3 20.mp3

like int: 1.mp3 2.mp3 10.mp3 20.mp3

It's for setting up the right playing order.

Hope you got it :)

Step 3 is the name of the book. The same name will be on your phone.

Step 4. Select a free port for your system and press Start button.

If it hadn't threw an exception it is a good sign :)

Step 5.

Now you have a feed url.

It should be smth like http://localhost:8888/feed.xml

Step 6. Add podcast to zune with this feed. Set it up to play the older episodes first and to sync ALL episodes with your phone.

Step 7. Actually sync your device and listen to your book

There's also video available on how to:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ajgray:
Very helpful - thanks much!

Feature request: it'd be great to add support for a directory hierarchy instead of a single folder. (This would be helpful for multi-disc audiobooks that are organized into subfolders like Disc1\, Disc2\, etc.)

I'd be glad to assist with coding if needed.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Elastep:
Accepted, I'll code it. Shouldn't be difficult :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] pellepirat:
This is great!

Very nice piece of software!

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] AUTiger83:
Thank you! This solves the problem of getting them to list in the correct order!

Now that they show in the correct order under podcasts, is there any way to get one podcast to go automatically to the next file in the series?

I have short segments (5 minutes each, on a 6 hour book) and it's driving me crazy to have to go back to the podcast directory every five minutes and start the next one.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ajgray:
Just hit the play button on the podcast itself (the small triangle on the upper right of the album art) - that will play the segments in the order that you've set in the podcast properties. (For an audiobook, set the playback order to "Oldest first.")
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Elastep:
Yes, in Zune set up that podcast should be played from the last (oldest) episode!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Jakeway:
Great software, thank you so much.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Slothie:
Thanks very much for the app. It solved the Audio Book problem for me. I do have a "feature request/noob question" though. Can you make the custom picture start looking from the folder I choose the book to be in and not the last folder?

Also not that it really matters but when I start on the next book I get the error:

system.net.httplistenerexception: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request

at system.net.httplistener.getcontext()

at EIWPAudioBooks.FormCreateAudioBook.StartHttpServer(Object State)

I just close the app after each book so its not really a problem although I usally do a few books at a time.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ZaForD:
Hi Elastep,

This is a great app, that works well.

I've got the same error as Slothie, but its easy to work round. :)

One question:

Would it be possible to add/edit info for the audiobook tthat would show in the 'Overview' section on the phone?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Elastep:
Ok, so for now I have the following todo list:

1) scan all subfolders for audio files in the selected folder (in case you have 4ex disk1, disk2, etc..)

2) try to autofind albumart in the folder with audio book

3) exception when trying to add another book without closing the app

4) ability to add info about audiobook to overview section on the phone.

Ok, accepted. I'll try to implement it soon :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Elastep:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Elastep:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Elastep:
Try 0.2.0 version! Does it have the same behaviour?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] edved:
It's a nice piece of software dude, but I think the deficiency of the software is the user, namely me er, zune. Zune is only allowing partial download of the entire audiobook file. I've tried messing with the settings. I'm hoping it'll eventually fix itself.

Yup, I keep getting ! when I tried to manually sync the entire file to my Samsung Focus. Any suggestions?

Again, nice work!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Elastep:
What's the size of the audiobook file you're trying to download?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] edved:
100MB to 430MB...

I'm trying the manual sync or download to see whether that resolves the issue of only the first 3 files are downloaded or synced with my phone. That for some reason isn't working either.

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

Still getting the dreaded "!" besides the majority of the files, except like I said, the first three files of the audiobook.

I think I figured it out. Zune wants to download only 3 "episodes" of each book. I have to manually download via my phone and the podcast portion of Mango. Seems to have all the files on the phone now.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, that still hasn't resolved the issue. Strange as all my other audiobooks seem to sync well enough.

User error! Zune was default to syncing only the first 3 episodes!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Elastep:
So you've managed to fix it?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] edved:
Ya dude, it`s all good. Just had to play around with the settings a bit.

Thanks again!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] hikikomori:
great tool, many thanks!

only one little issue, dont know if i am maybe just missing something:

when listening to an audiobook as a podcast, windows phone will not play the next part by itself. ie, after one audio file finished (even if its just a few minutes long) i have to pull out my phone and manually switch to the next track, which can be quite annoying if the audiobook contains may tracks.

is there any way to avoid this behavior of the wp7, or do i have to combine my whole audio book to one large file? ^^
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Elastep:
No, you don't have to combine.

When you start playing an audiobook do not select concrete episode, just click to play on the WHOLE audiobook, there is a small "play button" on the albumart of the book.

Doing so will play all episodes one by one.

Also set it to play from the oldest episodes to the newest, this will make windows to play it in the correct order!

Cheers!

Was working... now problems

A month or so ago, I added some audiobooks using this tools without any problem. However, it is now failing. I am using the latest version of the tool. When I add the podcast to the Zune software, I can see that the communication is happening between Zune and the app. I see "Got feed item. Item was prepared for sending" for each part of the audiobook. However, the actual file transfer doesn't happen. Just the yellow exclamation point next to each part of the audiobook.

Things I have tried...

Running as admin (even though I am admin)

Changing ports

Disabling firewall

Any suggestions?

May be you have some strange path to your book or some strange file names?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] psyh0e:
Thanks for the great tool Elastep.

Here's another quick and dirty way I use.

1. Use your favourite mp3 merging tool to merge all episodes to a single file.

2. Change the file genre to “Podcast”.

3. Drag it into music section in Zune. Zune auto-magically moves it to the Podcast section.

4. Sync to your phone.

Even works great on first gen Zunes devices.

Thank. Testing it :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Temperok:

Just one question. Why it supports only mp3? Windows Phone shouldn't have any troubles to natively play wma and m4a files as well.

Problems with long title names

First of All: This app is great. It does exactly what I need :) Thank you so much.

I've only run into one small problem. When I try to convert my Ricky Gervais' podcasts I get an error - apparently because the file names are too long. There are 123 files, so renaming them would be quite a chore. It has to be done individually.

Is there a limit on the length of the file names? And could that maybe be changed in the next version?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Elastep:
Thanks!

1) can you give me an example of file name?

2) hint : you do not need to rename it one by one, just select all files, then right click first, than rename ;)

If you use the paid version of Media Monkey, for audio management, you can Auto Organize the files. It will allow you to completely change the file and name structure of your entire audio library in one action, if you choose.

I use it to organize my audiobooks before getting them onto my Lumia 800.
