Yeah, perhaps not with sprint's network (after reading), but certain networks seem to work like Metro's. If the OP has to ask though, he probably doesn't have the will/determination to persist on doing whatever it takes though. He'd be better off getting something like a nexus s for sprint and use it on boost or an evo of some sort.

Yeah I was just confused weather I will be able to read the esn and MEID locations. Right now I have Dinc with Boost mobile, mms, data, sms and voice all working.

But now I want the Thunderbolt and because it uses a Sim card I wasn't entirely sure.

So I used the HTC unlock for the bootloader

I should have read here first but I figured it had to be "easier" first

Is there any way to really root my phone and get S-off now?

I have not figured out a way to do Squat.

I tried Alpha rev but since my Hboot is 1.5 it will not allow me to use it .

Any advice would be great cause otherwise I am off to SPrint to get them to swap my wive's and my phone's information since I did not do the OTA on hers

Does anyone know if there is a way you can get a 4G tablet Verizon sim card and swap it into a 4G Verizon phone. I really want a data only plan on a 5 inch tablet. I know you can do it with the Iphone's/IPad ATT Sim cards. I was wondering if you could do the same here.

IBTL (reported)

You have to try them out as each rom will act differently on each phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jas903:
For speed itself that may be true, but do you have any suggestions for roms that have minimal bloat? That is not based on the phone but on the rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
For any rom that is true. Most I9000 based roms act buggy on my phone so I avoid them like the plague. Others run them no problem. Each set of hardware will act differently with each rom, so suggestions mean nothing.

Added: I guess my suggestion is in my sig ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jas903:
Yes I understand that. Let me try to make this more clear. What roms come with very little applications installed on them? By that I mean system applications that come installed on the rom and cannot be uninstalled. This is what I mean by bloat.

For those of us tards who have no clue how to use linux and still wanna increase the size of our Nook Touch, is there a nice gui that will do the same thing?
[Nook Touch Android Development] roustabout:
Another helpful trick to add to this mix:

symlink /data/media to

/media so you can actually see the files BN is downloading to your device.

in adb shell or via ssh:

cd /data/media

rm -r *

cd ..

rmdir media

ln -s media /media

After doing this, the reader, etc. put their files where you can pick them up and archive them in Calibre, etc.

[Nook Touch Android Development] LastSilmaril:
copy-pasting this into the command line makes the process painless. It's ok as long as you take the time to read what's going on here, and mdall did a good job of explaining. I think 160MB for the data partition is a little big...but better safe then sorry: these are good numbers.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
If you really wanted to do this, you might try asking around IRC in NookColor for a copy of the Partition Resize uRamdisk, with sufficient knowledge of uRamdisks/sh scripts, etc you could easily retool it to move around partition space on the N2E. Considering it was designed by BN's Devs for the sole purpose of changing Userspace into /data it shouldn't be hard to make it do the reverse. But something like this could be highly dangerous if it's not done right and there's always the risk of bricking your device if you mess up the script. Just some words of advice.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Jiv_au:
I'm using the latest Knoppix (CD version) to do this, and my mkdosfs command didn't like the -H and -t options.

Are they heads and tracks, and are they important?

Other than that, I modified this line:

dd if=/dev/zero of=new.img bs=244842496 count=8

because it complained about exhausted memory.

Did someone mention in this thread about how to write back to the NST?

dd if=new.img of=/dev/sdX

Well, I've updated mine to 1.1 and then did the partition resize, and everything seems to have gone smoothly.

Now, I've now moved on to nooting with TouchNooter v1.11.20, and that itself is a whole new kettle of fish, and for another thread.

ED: Oops... after installing some apps, it's complaining about low memory....

D'OH!!! *sigh* I'm redoing partition resizing by following mdall's script. Thanks mdall.

Ex: mkdosfs -F16 -n boot /dev/mapper/loop1p1 instread of mkdosfs H 128 -f32 -F16 -n boot /dev/mapper/loop1p1 ...

when make all partiton with "mkdosfs" i've received this message:

"mkdosfs 3.0.9 (31 Jan 2010)

unable to get drive geometry, using default 255/63 " DON'T WORRY!

I have used a backup of fresh installation of salsichaNooter04, and the "data" folder of my backup image was "userdata", so i'have changed all "data" with "userdata".

Nice work, thanks a lot, sorry for english LoL :D

Here is another way to resize the partitions (maybe easier)

And I guess that we could also create something like that but for the Nook Touch (now that we have CWM)
[Nook Touch Android Development] matteodica:
A little question:

Can i rename my big new NOOK partition as "sdcard" ?

I use Dropbox and i would utilize my new partition instead of sd card.

It's possible?
[Nook Touch Android Development] than33:
I want to simply explain why resizing those partitions is... not clever....

You have those partitions on Your NOOK:

/rom (15.7MB)- self explanatory

/system (278MB)- as above

/data (790MB)- THIS is default internal storage in Android

/cache (232MB)- used for caching compiled java programs (in short way)

/media (240MB)- THIS is completely unnecessary partition

EXPLANATION:

What you really need is only internal storage, rom, system and cache. This is how it is done on most Android phones. B&N wants to block access to /data partition so they created special /media partition which is accessible from PC and you can put your files in there. That was easier for them. So /media partition is some kind of already inserted SD card.

If you have real SD card, probably much bigger, you really don't need another, very small partition to simulate SD card.

If you are not rooting it may sound good to have bigger /media partition and smaller /data partition. Maybe. This will cause many troubles but You can try.

IF you are rooting then making /data partition smaller is the most stupid thing I can imagine. In fact what you really want to do is to make /media partition smaller and make /data partition bigger! Or even better! Delete /media partition, make /data partition bigger and then just creater folder /media for compatibility. I didn't try, but this sounds good!

WHY not to scale /data down? Because /data partition is the place for everything in Android. And specially it is the place for APKs! Also this is the place for everything written by APKs. So when You will have smaller /data you may not install as many APKs as You want. This is not problem in Android 2.2 because You can install APKs on sdcard, but what we have here is Android 2.1.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Actually, this isn't quite right, a lot of android devices have that userspace we call /media some devices even treat it as an sdcard and as of like 2.2 or 2.3 an actual sd-card becomes /sdcard-ext. While I agree that scaling down /data on the sdcard is not that great an idea I just thought I'd point out that fact.

Also here's another idea, perhaps instead of trying to reorganize the internal storage, people should just buy an SDcard and make a copy of their OS onto the SDcard allowing them to adjust partitions (if they know how) however they want.

That is to say with an exact copy of the internal partitions a few adjustments to partition sizes and uRamdisk, you could create a copy of the OS that exists completely on SDcard with whatever partition sizes you want, you could even mount /media off the original device and /media from the sdcard as /sdcard if you wanted. Allowing you both the small /media partition from the device and extra from your card or you could with a little extra fidgeting have them both on the sdcard itself creating basically an sdcard that runs your /data /system etc on any nook touch device you wanted like a live CD or USB would for a computer.

Another idea would be similar to the one above using an sdcard solely for root/apps/etc but instead of running stock OS someone could port CM from the Nook Color, run that from the sdcard and the same would apply to that.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Tired_:
I still don't get why this is so stupid, even after you explained. My HTC Hero (also on 2.1) has way less internal storage than the Nook, and it seems to run just fine. I have lots of apps on it, and I haven't had any problems with space. I resized my Nook to have a 512MB data partition (which seems positively cavernous compared to the 192 or so I have available to me on the Hero), which nearly doubled my media partition. The subset of apps that will a: run on 2.1, b: work on the NST, and c: are useful with the OS and hardware constraints, is small enough that I doubt many users will run into a wall with half a gig.
[Nook Touch Android Development] cceerrtt:
on the other hand, on your mobile you can move and app to sdcard (and save some space on /data), this is not possible on nook now.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Tired_:
You can do that on 2.1? Then why can't we do it on our Nooks?
[Nook Touch Android Development] cceerrtt:
you are right, you need android >=2.2, although some scripts can do that even on 2.1.

Anyway, I do not suffer with small /data, there are just few apps that are working fine on nook & e-ink. :-(
[Nook Touch Android Development] than33:
It is possible. You need to create additional parition on SDCARD and then there are tricks (symlinks etc) to move apps to that special partition. This is really not neccessary as we have optimum size 800MB for apps in internal storage. Additionally this will kill your card very soon.

This is how I see this: when You are rooting nook, you are doing this because you want to install apps. I have several Android devices and I know that 1GB is optimal size for apps. Maybe on nook you will not have so much appps because of eink limitations. But please remember that you can insert VERY cheap SD card with plenty of space. Even 1GB will be much more than internal memory.

Playing with partition structure of such device isn't safe in any way. You are risking of bricking it, incompatibility with future updates etc, etc. And this is because you don't want to buy $4 card?
