[Nook Touch General] jago25_98:
So my NookTouch finally arrived! :-)

But I'm having trouble writing images to a SD card.

It's a 16gb micro SD HC class 6 card...

i thought that would be ok?

Windows Image writer says `Not enough space` so I used dd for windows but after this the disk isn't readable. The same for linux (remembered to use bs=1M).

edit::

Solved answer - confusion using windows tools, don't really know why it wasn't working but it could have been due to an incorrect dd command on linux beforehand.

You need to write to /dev/sdcardRoot (aka masterbootpartition) rather than /dev/sdcard1 (partition1). After you've rooted though and written the image you can format the card and partition the SD card.
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
I had a similar problem with my 5 in 1 built in card reader.

Some apps would say "not enough space" while some would write the img without complaints, but the Nook wouldn't boot it, no matter what.

I ended up pushing the image file to my phone (X10) and using that to write the image to the sd card, worked perfectly.
[Nook Touch General] domi.nos:
Are you using WinImage?
[Nook Touch General] jago25_98:
Thanks for fast reply!

Verfied the image is ok with winimage.

Wierd. After writing TouchNooter to sd card via the sd card drive in the laptop the card is no longer readable. After putting it in the NookTouch the nook can't see it either and I can't get linux mount it. But... with the card in the Nook and USB plugged in I get 2 drives come up; `Nook` and `TouchNooter`

Nook software version is `1.0.0`.

In linux the disk looks like this:

j@laptop:/media/WindowsStorage/download/nook$

With WinImage I can read the contents of the image but if I try to write it I get `The current image format is not supported by the disk drive` --- ***correction, it's writing now after I reformatted the card***....

now testing...

`nook is starting up...` aha `Rooted forever!!` hmm.. seems to be taking a very long time....

ok, nothing's happening... i wonder if it's turned on or crashed! ok trying usb now... ah, got a different device recognised by windows (omap3630).. trying apb etc...

perhaps I should be using noogie only for the touch though... hmm...

right, need to find the omap3630 driver in the android sdk to get those 7 partitions mounted... this is my first android device I've used... no usb driver listed in the sdk under available packages.. perhaps I should try linux...
[Nook Touch General] jago25_98:
Ok, got the shell. What next to install? I'll have a search.

The confusing thing was the android sdk. It took me a while to find the USB driver comes through via google's distro service on Windows and that the adb command is in there too. The location of the USB driver has also moved to the google/usbdriver subdirectory now too.

Next stop, trying to install some android .apk's...

Thanks one and all!

edit::

I'll use this as a diary for a moment to note what I'm finding until I'm sure enough to put it in the Wiki.

In general I'm finding some things that work on the color work on the touch but not all. VNCServer works but we only have /dev/input/event0-2 - the server notes the input clicks but doesn't do anything about them ("injectTouchEvent (x=0, y=0, down=1)" even when specifying -k trying each of those events...

this could be related to the NookTouch using infared rather than a touchscreen. Perhaps there's a new B&N dev file in there rather than a custom resident running program or something.

VNCViewer on the NookTouch seems to work but personally I couldn't get it to connect to my server. I'll try linux to confirm.

WiFi locker doesn't work, complaining that's it's an incompatible app: http://nookdevs.com/Nook_WiFi_Locker the wiki is the only place for a download link, there appears to be no mention now of it on the nooktools page:

E:\ProgramFiles\androidSDK\platform-tools>adb install "h:\nookWifiLocker.apk"
503 KB/s (40277 bytes in 0.078s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/nookWifiLocker.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]

E:\ProgramFiles\androidSDK\platform-tools>

Plugging in my USB stops the nook turning off while using adb though. Need to turn off wifi and connect over usb...

Nooklets look like a great idea - could it be scripted to allow direct access to webpages saved via scrapbook extention for firefox?

Other things to improve the wiki:

-suggest putting adb.exe in path

Any problems?

-because I don't have any other android devices I can't see how to get access to apk's from android market... http://phandroid.com/2011/02/04/sol...-android-phones-associated-with-this-account/ "No phones associated with this account"

This confused me:

- was that an old way to install apps before `adb install`? Because any app I install via adb install isn't listed in /system/apps, yet it is installed because if I try to install again it tells me so...

edit: note for myself regards the confusion over google accounts, gmail and missing libaries:

this probably works better than:

[Nook Touch General] ros87:
No

adb install (or Market for that sake) will push apps to /data/app where apps normally reside.

/system/app is where the pre-packaged apps normally live, some choose to put them there to save space, but there might be other differences as I've seen that some apps needs to be put there in order to work properly .. haven't really looked into it tho.
[Nook Touch General] jago25_98:
/data/app, ah ok thanks Ros :-)

I see you're on Netcom. Are they still super expensive? I was on pay as you go on holiday in Norway and man they still had per mb charging for both netcom and telenor when I was there, it was super expensive!

What I don't understand is how I'm supposed to install the market app... in order to get access to the market, seeing as I don't have another android device... the market apk says it needs some kind of dependency, but I can't find any mention of this, or get adb to tell me what the dependency is I need to satisfy

...

I must have plugged and unplugged the usb port a 50x already... need a port saver I can tell it's going to break quick!
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
Sorry for the late reply mate

I have no idea when it comes to personal plans, but neither one of them is particularly bad when it comes to business plans.

Ofc they make a lot of money on people not choosing the right plans and services for their needs, but if you do it right it's not bad at all :)

---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

Market requires a ****load of stuff in order to work at all.

A successful TouchNooter should give you Market access assuming you followed the instructions (logging into youtube with your gmail account etc)

Problem with TouchNooter Market is that search doesn't work, so you have to use a web browser to log into market and push the apps you want to your Nook.
[HTC Sensation] dazzlet:
Its there any way I can modify something on my phone to make the speaker volume better. I've hour beats audio and that works on headphones and sounds awesome.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
AFAIK, there are no mods as it's the speaker itself that limiting it - not Android
[HTC Sensation] meteor999:
Download volume + from the market, worked for me
[HTC Sensation] BigHunkoMan:
Volume + also works for me but for me I have to activate the program manually. I don't think there's a setting to make it start on boot or run in background.
[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
Volume + ruined my MIC on 3 sensations.........
[HTC Sensation] rprice17:
Yes, something seems wacky on my mike all. Can I just uninstall?
[HTC Sensation] dazzlet:
Mmmm seems like volume + has problems with the sensation I saw once some where that said the hardware was capable but it was limited by the software, just wondered if anybody knew anything about it or if there is a file that can be edited maybe to increase it

or does anybody know how I can instal the system wide version of beats audio?
[HTC Sensation] dazzlet:
Anybody?
[HTC Sensation] andyln3:
I believe the latest version of Sense (3.5) corrects this issue. Try one of the great ROMs in the development section. I recommend InsertCoin.
[HTC Jetstream] fbickley:
Is htc likely to delay ICS because of sense? Or will that update be fairly quick? That would solve my concern for some of the programs that are not available on honeycomb.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] hiskkkei:
Hi,

Ever since I'm using CM7 (which is great btw!) I have this strange bug when using whatsapp. When I'm in gallery and send an image with whatsapp it works perfect, but when I then open whatsapp again, it resends that same image. This also happens when i slide the keyboard in or out. Very very very annoying. I have conversations with more than 10 times the same image :(

Cancelling the upload is near impossible, you'd have to be as fast as usain bolt, and I'm not...

Anyone know a solution for this?

Thanks,

Hiskkkei

p.s:

I now see that this is my first post. Stupid. I'll say hi in the appropriate thread, but have to wait 5 mins :( ...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Strange, im on CM7 and dont have this bug with whatsapp...

Sent from my Desire Z running @ 2GHZ
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] rsaffi:
I do have the same bug. I've found a way around it, though. Happens to me not only with images or videos from the gallery, but mp3s from other apps too.

What I do is send the attachment, then as soon as it shows as uploading on the timeline, I start hitting the "back" button till I'm faced with the Homescreen again. I then open Whatsapp the "normal" way, instead of an instance from Gallery.

It then finishes sending the attachment, that is only sent one time, doing this.

It's very annoying but I ended up getting used to the workaround! =)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] tsubus:
Same thing happens to me.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] hiskkkei:
It's very annoying indeed, but I found that if I send something using the attachment knob in whatsapp, it doesn't happen. It only happens when I use "share" in gallery or astro or some other app. So from now on that's the way to go for me.

Thanks for your help anyway :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashar:
I bought a desire (used) and upgraded it from official Froyo to official Gingerbread via RUU, now i decided to install any custom rom on it, for this i downloaded all necessary files (revolutionary etc.), following is the information of my desire;

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-1.02.0001

MICROP-051D

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-5.17.05.23

JULY 22 2011, 16:19:16

I was surprised to see it was already S-OFF, my questions are;

1) why is it already S-OFF? (it was not rooted before upgrade)

2) Tell me the steps for gaining root or installing custom recovery? (in my case where i am already s-off)

3) Do i have to run revolutionary or just start by installing amon-ra recovery by android-win-tools method?

I am new to this thing and never rooted or installed custom rom before, but went through a lot of threads in this forum and did not find any clue relating to my case.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I don't think this s-off is as "thorough" as revolutionary. I tried to get someone else who had this but his English was not too good so didn't get very far. It would be nice to know the limitations of this factory S-off though.

Have you got a recovery in mind? As you are PVT4, you need to be aware that you cannot use clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 if you are erase size 40,000. Which means you need to use a newer CWM (Bah) or AmonRA.

To find out, download a terminal emulator from the market:

cat /proc/mtd

(note space between cat and /)

Then you need to fastboot flash recovery. Follow link in my signature for an adb and fastboot faq. Also be aware adb and fastboot are different things. adb has nothing to do with this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashar:
Thanks for your quick reply. Please note some of results for MTD and ROOT Check.

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$ cat /proc/mtd

dev: size erasesize name

mtd0: 00100000 00040000 "misc"

mtd1: 00480000 00040000 "recovery"

mtd4: 02800000 00040000 "cache"

mtd5: 096c0000 00040000 "userdata"

$

It means my erase size is 40,000 and i need latest CWM, or AmonRA recovery?

May be you can extract limitations of this factory s-off from above technical data.

Now may i do the following?

1) run revolutionary and do not install recovery from therein.

2) flash fastboot recovery by android-win-tools method.

3) flash su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed from within custom recovery

4) flash any custom rom.

or may i skip step 1 and follow the rest?

thanks in advance :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Well it is exactly, as s-off as if you did it using revolutionary. So the bootloader won't check signatures(which is the definition of s-off), but you won't be able to use fastboot commands, as those are not included in the stock hboot.

To be able to flash a recovery using "fastboot flash recovery" He must first flash a custom hboot with fastboot commands enabled. Do the following:

1. download this zip file: http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_stock.zip

2. Rename it to "PB99IMG.zip"(make sure it's not PB99IMG.zip.zip, as windows may hide the ending)

3. Place this file on the root of your sd-card.

4. Shut down your phone and boot up by holding "vol-down" and pressing power While keeping "vol-down" pressed until you enter hboot.

Your phone should now flash the image, and you should be able to flash a recovery using fastboot commands.

(This means you don't need to use revolutionary, but you cannot just flash cwm before doing the above steps either)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of fastboot.

So the signature checking is also in nvram?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashar:
Thanks for your reply, please answer these questions ( i am so careful because i m doing it for the first time)

1) what will be my hboot version after flashing PB99IMG.zip? (right now my hboot is 1.02.0001 and i am on stock gingerbread 2.3.3)

2) if i just want to gain root access and dont want a custom rom, do i need to flash hboot and recovery or just flash su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed?

(i just want to uninstall adobe flash player 10.1 and google maps 5.2 from system preinstalled in 2.3.3 to gain some space for installing latest versions 10.3 and gm 5.10)

thanks in advance :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It'll be 6.093 or something. You can't flash su without flashing recovery. You can't flash recovery until you do PB99IMG.zip

Removing pre installed apps just makes space in system, which is not where you install apps so doing that alone will not give you more space.

Have a read of the root memory faq in my signature
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Well not exactly, but the stock hboot allows for skipping signature check if the flag in nvram is set AFAIK.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashar:
After doing PB99IMG.zip my phone info is as follows;

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.93.1002 (it was 1.02.0001 before)

MICROP-051d

RADIO-5.17.05.23

Aug 10 2010, 15:52:18 (it was July 22 2011, 16:19:16 before)

Now please recommed me the recovery (CWM or AmonRA) and a custom rom (fast, stable, more user space, more battery) to flash, thanks again for your kind help and guidance :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes, alpharev hboots "ignore" the NVRAM flag. But I am unsure how these factory hboots with s-off work. I don't understand why they would implement an ignore via hboot, when they have the flag in NVRAM. I would expect them to turn the flag of at source instead of using the same work around as alpharev, which is what I am confused about.

Thats kind of why I wanted someone to investigate, but the fastboot commands make sense. I suppose the Nexus one haas embeded fastboot commands as it's a developer phone. Although, why HTC would release an S-OFF version of the desire but ommit fastboot is beyond me. I thought the whole reason they did this was due to petition pressure not to lock it down too much

[HD2 General] azaz_hassan:
Dear expert,

I bought my htc hd2 in saudi Arabia. I had reset this phone by mistake by clicking on value added button and after that a language prob appeared. Anyways one of my friends flashed my phone with new english language rom for ease and install anderiod as well but the only issue was, when i was using internet, it was getting heat and resetart itself.

So I thought that it might be a problem of anderiod with windows, what i did was, i remove and formated the sd card first on my pc then inserted into my phone and flash it with the same rom, but after that my phone doesn't boot fully upto home screen. It does go to the boot option where we get the different strips of color like red green blue and white with some info on the screen like (note: I don't know what these were originally but now all these info are what depicted belwo)

PB81100 SS-BC, SPC-2.08.HSPL 8G XE, 0X05, CotullaHSPL 05X0 and USB

but doesn't start fully after reseting, always freez at the white screen with htc and nothing else:-(

Till now I tried different forum tips for the help, flashed many times with different rom but still the same prob, doesn't completely start upto home screen, always freezed as mention above.

Please help me, what should I do, so that my phone become as it was originally?

Which version of rom or some other software i should download and try to flash it and from where i should download the correct one.

Some of the infos of my phone are as follows,

htc hd2

SN: SH06PNW02764
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
Firstly, remove your serial number.

Now, if you want your device "as originally as it was" you need to download HSPL Package and remove HSPL 2.08 from your phone.

By the way, what radio are you using?
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Is that a US T-Mobile version or another Vendor version !? as your serial number does not pull up a ROM selection on HTC's website !

With device correctly identified we can probably find a ROM & try flash via SD might be good option should you want HSPL ect all removed in one flashing step

Problem does sound more like quite common mainboard fault experienced by quite a few users of multiboot HD2s, but lets hope not ....

is there a way in mango to search through all your videos? i have many of them synced, grouped into categories, and they're sorted by name, so if i want to play a video that starts with e.g. a "z" i have to scroll all the way down :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
Are there no letter boxes to tap on so you can jump down? You should see the category letters A, B, C, etc. in the list. Tap on it, and it'll bring up an index of letters, and then you can tap Z to jump down quickly.

Alternatively, you can also pin your favorite videos to your Start screen as a tile for easy access.

Hello everybody,

I'm searching for following solution. During office day my Android (SG2) is bound to USB and so connected to workstation for the whole day. I'm also using a headset bound to workstation also connected by USB for VoIP and Music (of coz).
