[Nook Color General] akaCat:
I held off on buying an ereader as long as I could. First the eink screens were too slow. By the time the NC came out I owned both a smartphone and an iPad, and even though the Droid was "too small" and the iPad was "too big" and the NC was just right I couldn't quite justify the expense.

Then I read an article about how easy it was to unlock full Android on the NC. That was the tipping point I needed, so I bought one the next day.

I read a lot on it, but I'm also constantly playing games on it. I can't live without the alarm clock, and I'm as likely to use the calendar/contacts/password manager on the nook as I am the same on my phone.

This sums me up. But I picked poll option #2, so that probably splits the difference between our answers.

[Nook Touch Android Development] mikocharnel:
Tis operation IS EASIEST AS you thinking about.

Just download this zip and make all by instruction:

1. Burn noogie.img [2] to microSD card (from 128Mb)with win32diskimager [1].

2. Turn off (10-20 second on power button) NOOK2E and plug in microSD with noogie.img.

3. Turn on NOOK2E

4. When Rooted Forever appear on screen - connect with cable to PC.

5. Wait for a wile.

6. Install Mini tools partition [3] (free).

7. Delete all partition from NOOK2E (Disk size - 1.82Gb)with Mini tools partition (first "Delete" - than "Apply" in top left corner).

8. Install Roadkil's Disk Image [4].

9. Run Roadkil's Disk Image select backup.img and burn on Nook (Physical Disk with 1,82Gb size)

10. After all - turn off NOOK, pull the noogie sd card from it.

Thanks for all who create root for Nook2E & xdaforums.com.

P.S. NOOK image was made from CLEAR NOOK without registration.

Now working on changing s/n and mac. Need public key generator

Need help:

For now - find ./rom/devconf directory with lot of info:

for me are interesting 4:

DeviceID - same as S/N (on motherboard/on box)

MACAddress - as is (write on motherboard)

PublicKey - I don't know is this the same for all nooks or personal for each?

SerialNumber - the S/N as is (on motherboard/on box)

If change sn+id+mac - will work fine with new info.

But what about public key?

Waiting for you replays.

Find more - there are:

HashOfPrivateKey - some thing to use with PublicKey

ProductID - I don't know were to find

MainBoardSN - (write on motherboard)

Yep - there is 3 piece for making all works:

ProductID, HashOfPrivateKey, PublicKey

I'm trying to download this, but there are no seeds on the torrent. Any way you could hop back on and seed?

I can leave it seeding for a while after it's done.
[Nook Touch Android Development] vacano:
So does this work or not ? I read somewhere that every nook has its own very personal default ROM. Since I didn't backup before rooting I suppose my own clean rom is gone, and I think it is impossible to do the other method which uses ADB wireless to do the 8 consecutive boots.

Can you host the file to another location, because it can not be downloaded.

Thanks.
[Nook Touch Android Development] EclecticIdiot:
The wireless ADB method worked for me. Much better than trying to 'catch' the boot 8 times in a row.

*first post on XDA, btw!
[Nook Touch Android Development] vacano:
For me the ADB method didn't work. The process froze at the very end without completing the whole procedure. I got scared that I had f****d the device, but happily it booted again, but with the rooted shell.

Guess I will have to be stuck with the Rooted Forever :(
[Nook Touch Android Development] mr.rugrat:
Hi,

Thanks very much for the instructions - I've managed to brick my NOOK and I'm desperate for help. But as others have mentioned, the file is no longer available. I cannot stress the amount of gratitude I'd have if you could possibly transfer the image to me via dropbox. I'm flying soon and really need my nook to work.

If you don't have dropbox, you can leave me some mail address and I'll invite you - you'll only have to copy & paste the file within your file system. If you do have dropbox - my mail is mr.rugrat@gmail.com.

an image is nowhere to be found - please, please find it in your heart to transfer me your image.

alternatively, you can upload it to some file server and post it as a reply for the others in need of this file.

Thanks so very much in advance

Dan
[Nook Touch Android Development] mrmystery96:
I too screwed up and forgot to make a backup. I have acces to (and made a copy of) all the partitions I can view using a noogie bootable. On the factory partition, I noticed a zip file that has all the info for my nook (S/N, MAC address, etc...) in it. Is there any way you could try to put the backup img out, say with the files individual to each nook out, and instructions on where to replace them. Thanks
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
Warning: Do not use the image and method outlined in the first post!

It will replace data that are unique to _your_ Nook Touch, like your serial number and MAC address.

There are better options for restoring your Nook Touch, like this one.

Please let this thread die.

I trust nothing of what that guy wrote. Everytime someone claims to have advanced knowledge they are wrong completely. Why the eff would sprint bring rumored phones around a retail store before they are even announced? That just makes no sense. I have dealt with enough sprint employees who "have the scoop" and turn out to be collosal nitwits before to believe that some random sprint store employee got the scoop on sprint getting the iphone.

I do think he is a sprint employee though because every sprint employee I have ever dealt with is a huge fanboy of the evo.
[Epic 4G General] tpike:
I haven't heard the details he has shared, but my corp rep brought the regional network rep out who knows all the tech updates and all the phone releases. He said the biggest thing sprint has in the pipe is the network updates. Everyone is getting phones, they are rolling out new tower hardware making speeds, signal quality and increase the number of clients able to hit the servers. He told me it would be a 2 year rollout, but we had 36 tower updates last month. He said there are about 40 new devices rolling out and they would rock!

Ill buy what that guy was selling :-)

I work for a regional electronics and appliance chain, that is becoming a full device sprint dealer this fall. At a training event for sales reps the sprint trainer brought up an iphone 5 variant for sprint a few times. Interesting to hear it from this guy as well. Although if I had to guess, they are both misreading it, and all we are likely to see is the new prepaid iphone version coming out for virgin.
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
I hate when people say the EVO 3d is a better phone than SG2 even though across the board SG2 eats 3d. Granted htc sense 3.0 is sexy, but MIUI is better
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Sprint's overall phone lineup is strong with or without the iPhone. It has been for a while. The issues are that they have to quickly maintain and improve their network and hold prices and plans to the attractive level they are now. I don't believe in corporate hype, I believe in underpromising and overdelivering. Sprint did that in the years I've been with them.

Now they have to continue so they can grow and poach away customers who get sick of being robbed by Verizon and AT&T. But without the network that's going to be even harder to do. Take my neighborhood for example--coverage here is poor, Sprint probably has no customers other than people like me who figured out how to force roam, or those who have Airaves. And it's doubtful any new towers are planned, so they better get busy on these network improvement miracles, because reasonably priced unlimited 4G makes no difference to those who can't get it.
[Epic 4G General] tpike:
This is only my opinion, the 3d sucks! What a blatent grasp for media attention. The screen when set to 3d is horrible. Made me sea sick standing in the store. Remember those books you had as a kid that had the plastic sheet over the picture and it made it look 3d? Well that's the evo. The phone could almost hold its own without the gimmicky screen. Sorry to get off topic :-)
[Epic 4G General] TexasLTE:

[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
If you think Sprint is upgrading anything on the network you are sadly mistaken. All upgrades have stopped due to Network Vision. No point in doing things twice. Our data network in the capital of the state has been busted since July 2010. Network support has told us it might be fixed in Dec 2011.
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Well don't be so prejudiced. I for one am certainly not an HTC fanboy. I'm a fan of good hardware lol.

While I definitely doubt his rumored phone nonsense, there is one (maybe 2) nugget of truth in there.

His network improvement claim is the hidden morsel. By the months that span 2013-2015, it's an almost certainty that Sprint's network will have gone through a complete transformation, and will liklely be the most complete network in the market. The Network Vision agenda is badass, you just have to read between the lines.

Also, do not discount the iphone claim. While I for one don't want it in my company's lineup (from a tech's perspective), there's a certain rule about sprint's internal employee forum. Rumors that are false are always deleted or discounted, damn near immediately. However, rumors that have some truth to them are left alone, and nothing is ever mentioned. The same goes for memos to employees on what to say to customers regarding rumors. If it's false, discount it to the customer. If not, claim ignorance.

And guess what, it's all been left alone, and we were just recently instructed to claim ignorance.
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Um, network vision IS an upgrade?

It just won't solve problems such as yours in the short term. It's a long term investment.

So I think what you should say is network FIXES have stopped (temporarily).

Which, of course, is true.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Nope. Network upgrades that are not a part of network vision have been pulled.

I don't ask for much..other then an sgs 2 with a keyboard..is it at least possible to cover all of nyc with 4g?!?!? I mean nyc is the most dense population in the USA..going off coverage map verizon already blanketed everything with 4g (based on coverage maps)..why can't sprint? I really can't see any excuse for it (And I don't mean working in buildings or etc, I mean going off their coverage maps they have a lot of coverage holes)
[Epic 4G General] testacon:
Doesn't Sprint heavy rely on roaming agreements to make the 1x/3G coverage they have? I thought I read somewhere that 4G isn't going to be roamable because everyone uses different technology. So I don't see coverage getting any better until the new frequencies with deeper penetration get implemented. I'd be surprised if Sprint spent the money adding towers, then changing the technology in them shortly afterwards. I think we will be stuck with what we got for the short run--unfortunately...

[Epic 4G General] nickwn88:
To me this doesn't hold much weight. He kinda just backed up different rumors with his opinion and just talked about how great the 3D is (personally, I hate the 3D and sense). Correct me if I'm wrong...but the Evo 3D and the Sensation are the same device aside from the 3D gimmick so I don't see a point for him to address a comparison between the two. I used to work at Sprint here in NC and I too would see phones months before release.

I really hope the iPhone doesn't come our way. It's not so much because I hate it as much as the whole fan-base it can bring. This year is supposed to be "huge" for Sprint so if we're activating all of these android devices on our network...what happens when we activate all of these iPhones? I fear our data speeds will slow up.

[Epic 4G General] tpike:
In an effort to redeem this thread I +1 this esp. the comments about the iphone. Verizon saw it when they started actually selling 4g phones and suffered through a crashed network. Concurrent connections is as emportant as one single phone pulling 14 mbs.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
A recent study showed that Android users consume more data than iPhone users. However, bringing the iPhone to sprint would likely cause a mass exodus to sprint from other carriers and would probably be the last straw for some angry att/vzw customers.

Regardless the network will become more congested with time. Network Vision will probably come in the nick of time.
[Epic 4G General] libracolo:

keyboards are essential for me

Which is why I started on a Sidekick, then graduated to a Moment and now the Epic. This could be interesting indeed, if true. I won't hold my breath though.

It bothers me to see so many devices going onscreen keyboard only, but that's just my preference. It'd be nice to see physical keyboards stay present on phones as they continue to develop. It wouldn't matter so much I guess, if it weren't for the fact that I use mine for work applications where the onscreen keyboard is a PITA because of screen real estate and constantly switching modes to hit various 'non-standard' characters that always get left off.

Recently picked up a tablet and was thrilled by finding an onscreen keyboard that was complete - dubbed the 'hacker's keyboard' in the market, if anyone is curious.
[Epic 4G General] pjy9394:
Well its gonna be a little harder for Sprint to cover as much as Verizon in NYC. The WiMax signals (2.4GHz) dont penetrate easily into buildings, and its harder in cities as densely populated as NYC.

Basically, I'm running unrooted FW2.3.3 and was wondering if there was a method to root my device in which I can keep all my data/settings? Cheers
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
No. To get rooted on 2.3.3 your will have to flash 2.3.2 (which will wipe everything on your phone, sd card data wont be wiped) then root then do the ota update. Best you can do is try backing up apps/settings without root.

I think (not used myself) MyBackup pro will let you backup apps but the free version only lets you back up 2mb of data lol. So you will need the piad version.

App List Backup to help reinstalling of market apps.

MyPhoneExplorer Client use to backup text messages, call logs e.t.c

Or just see some of the free backup apps on the market https://market.android.com/search?q=backup&so=1&c=apps
[Xperia Play General] crimsonnight:
Thank you! Backed everything up using your suggested programs - but there was an option to 'keep all user data' during flashing which didn't seem to lead to any issues for me, always good to be doubley sure though so thanks for your advice :)
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
If you flash without ticking the wipe user data box you could get alot of system errors / force closes. Its best to wipe user data and do a clean install to avoid problems. I suppose its ok aslong as no problems appear, maybe? :)

If you signed up for Verizon's TEC insurance via Asurion, I believe you get a phone finder service with that. Don't know how accurate it is though. www.phoneclaim.com Best of luck!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarevan07:
If all else fails. Call verizon, tell them it's lost. Call back every day to see if they placed any phone calls. If they did, call the numbers they called. Verizon can provide you with that info. Disadvantage of that, is they can use your phone to buy things or make expensive calls. But if you keep an eye on verizon's history, you should be able to control that if it gets out of hand.

One time my phone was stolen and I was able to find the guy that stole it because his dad was one of his recent calls. Turns out papa was very disappointed haha! I got my phone back and he got a beating.
