Hello there, thanks for the answer.

I know about Unix-oid OSes, because I have been working for a long time with them.

I wanted to understand if the ultimate goal for "rooting" is the permissions' change of the /system directory (or there is something that I didn't know). The vulnerabilities that the techies exploit is something that comes first. When they exploit these vulns, then they are ready to chmod. And then, voilà.

This is what I want to be sure about.

heard that NT may have BL lock, it really is a bad news.

i'm wondering whether NT support normal apk downloaded from other places?

like installing with other markets and use these markets to install apks?

and could someone tell me the influence if we can't crack this lock?

can we reformat the partitions?can we root the device?

thank you!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] robertely:
Check some of the other threads. Much progress has been made, and its very easy to side load apks.

While no one has rooted it yet, it's still very early. Give it time.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ms2003:
yeah, i saw many guys said they sideload the apps, but i don't understand what is sideload:(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bkerk25:
Sideload = loading apk onto an sd card. You can then put sd card into NT and install app that way.

You will need to first enable apps for unknown sources, you can find how to do this in a number of threads.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] conundrum768:
Sideloading is the installation of an app from a non-approved source. This can involve installing via downloaded or transferred APKs, installing from a sd card, pushing via ADB, etc.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ms2003:
i got it, this means if i have 3rd party market or apk files, i can install applications in NT
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] conundrum768:
As a rule, it appears that you can install most apps by sideloading. This post gives the basics. Read the whole thread and follow it. If you have any questions, just ask them (search first). The XDA community is the kindest that I know of on the internet, people want to help you.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] W8ing4Pre3:
Hope this question is in the right place.

After downloading ANY apk., after clicking on it, a window pops up that reads:

Install Blocked: For security your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market

Below that is "OK" as my only option.

I've visited and revisited the recent rooting threads and other similar sources and found that most if not all arrive at a different option that offers "Settings" that can be changed. Even when I go directly to Settings>Device Settings, I have NO options to alter and allow "Unknown Sources"

Device: 1st Nook - purchased Nov 2011/ firmware 1.2

2nd Nook - purchased approx April 2011/ firmware 1.3

Both units respond the same way. What are my options here. Thanks for any and all help.

You need tgps_launcher. There are several posts about it.

Thanks for your reply. However (unless Im misunderstanding something) I have tried the launchers recommended here and other sources. Each time I continue to hit the same dead end after I choose Package Installer........"Install Blocked"

Sorry if Ive misunderstood you. Im really tying to get this and trust those that have walked this path. Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kusje:
You need to allow installation of non-market applications first. To get to that menu, you can use tgps launcher.

Use the nook browser to open the link above. It will give you the option to enable usb debugging (under development) as well as install non-market apps.

Can someone please convince me that this phone Is better quality than the Amaze. I frigging want to buy this damn thing because you have development going on over here a LOT more than on the Amaze side. I run MIUI when at all possible, and you appear to be on the verge of that. I would just like someone to convince me that processor wise, and technically this Is the way to go. I REALy want to be a Samsung guy, I'm just genuinely trying to overcome my HTC brainwashing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wpf54173:
I came from a long line of HTC products since the g1. Something Samsung does just makes it different than HTC phones. It is way faster and the screen is brilliant. But to really experience the speed of everything about this phone, you have to use it. Specifically on a custom ROM. The entire experience is just flawless.

Swyped from my iPhone eater

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quest4fire:
There'a a reason why there is way more development for the SGS2 than the Amaze. Because the SGS2 is better! The only thing the Amaze has going for it is the camera.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TJBunch1228:
OLED is better than LCD in terms of color saturation and battery life. Should be your answer right there. Take into account the bigger screen, sleeker design and you have a winner. The Amaze is a fine piece of hardware, but not enough of an improvement from the Sensation to choose to pay more money for the Amaze. If you must go HTC, by a used Sensation and save your upgrade for the next actual HTC beast to be released on T-Mobile, whenever that may be. I personally came from the sensation and would never go back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vinsane:
When I went to the store..I really had my heart set on a amaze because I heard soo much raves about it...and knew about the SGS2... so I had a chance to hold both side by side...compared speed and os side by side... build...screen... etc.

I never looked back. Now my friends who have the amaze keep trying to convince me to trade. NO WAY.

I love this phone.

Sent from my SGS2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sonjasnow:
Had the amaze, switched to s2. Amaze is great phone, fast, responsive, etc. Quality wise zero problems. Beautiful screen on amaze, liked the high resolution and whites look white (whites have a slight bluish tint on s2). gps on amaze is extremely accurate, best description for s2 gps is sloppy. No matter how I calibrate the s2 gps, it is just not that accurate. Amaze gps would start immediately and show my position within a couple of feet. The s2 gps lags on startup and is usually 15 - 30 feet wide of my location.

Why I switched. Amaze goes through battery way too fast. i was lucky to get five hours before needing a charge. My s2 goes two days. If the amaze was a car it got the equivalent of 8 miles per gallon where the s2 gets 30. Everybody on amaze forum suggesting turning everything of to get better battery life. With s2 I leave gps, 4g, wifi, etc. Always on on get great battery life. Why get a high end phone and not be able to use it. Sort of like buying a ferrari and driving it at 30 mph with lights, radio and heater/ac off so you get better mileage.

Scrolling, screen transistions are smoother on s2. Not a lot but when held side by side with amaze you can pick up difference.

I also did not like that the amaze had its antenna on the back cover. I figured one too many times removing the back cover woukd eventually mess up antena connections. Also, amaze battery was same shape as sensation but different voltage (3.8 vs 3.7). A lot of vendors show the sensation battery as replacement for amaze. However, these phones are a little bit sensitive to even that little bit of voltage diference.

My wife got her OTA to EI22 earlier this evening. Im still waiting. I Odin'd back to EC05 on Nov 9th. Any advice here? Or should I just be patient.....

Thanks for any responses!
[Epic 4G General] adamdelozier:
After Odin back, go to system updates and update profile. I did this and got the update about 3 minutes later. Could be coincidence, but it can't hurt to try
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
If your stock, just download the update directly from google. Put it on your sd card and boot into stock recovery and run it. It is essentialy the same thing as the ota.
[Epic 4G General] Gust30:
Thanks! I have updated my profile a few times with no result. Maybe I'll try putting the file on my card. Thank you again!
[Epic 4G General] wickedclown691:
Sounds about like here

We have the same situation. My wife got it today(didnt do the update) downloaded it went to CWM recovery and then the update of course failed. Now the update zip isnt even on her sdcard anymore. Is everything updated with the zip( such as kernel,modem, and rom etc.) or just the rom and modem.
[Epic 4G General] Gust30:
I just downloaded, renamed to update. Powered off and booted in to stock recovery. Ran the zip and....wait for it...I have EI22! Thank you for your help!! Now time to root :)
[Epic 4G General] Gust30:
Is there a one click root for EI22 like EC05?
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
No one click root is out for EI22, as far as I am aware of

From stock EC05, I just used odin to update the modem from ec05 to ei22, then used the one click root to install CWM 3.0.0.1, then used CWM to install my fav EI22 ROM

Hi,

I am from Western Australia and am with Telstra Next G.

I have recently flashed to Hyperion v 2.1 and cannot seem to find the Telstra Networks.

My phone is a S510B but in the Phone Model menu (i'm guessing due to the ROM), it is listed as a S510E....

Is there a compatibility issue here?

Chris.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Don't think the ROM could really affect it.

Try updating your radio
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
I responded to him via PM, as he PM'd me, but as Telstra utilise a 850/2100mhz network, I've found that a certain set of ril values in the build.prop file allow you to use the network more efficiently.
[HTC Desire S] oneilaus1:
Thanks for your help guys.

Setting the APN names properly did the job. The sim card was a fresh one so I think it took a little while for it to kick in properly.

What do you mean by changing the RIL values?

Anything that could improve it just a little would be cool!

Have you tried using Open Garden WiFi? Using that to tether to my DInc. I tried using Wireless Android Tether but it would not connect (created ad-hoc). Switched to Open Garden and it created an infrastructure AP and now connects. Though sometimes I have to connect twice before it fully connects.

Try WiFi Tether with Setup-method "Softap for Samsung(Master)" from your phone. It works for me (I have Samsung Droid Charge from Verizon). Connected a few android devices to it. You may need to reboot the phone after changing that settings.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdlothar:
DroidX running GB and Wireless Tether 2.0.7 and my NT connects no problem. Not running encryption.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cosmokao:
At this time I do not believe there are any available methods on tethering NT to any ad-hoc networks. I've tried multiple methods including all combinations of following:

* replacing wpa_supplicant w/ wpa_supplicant.adhocfix

* modifying wpa_supplicant.conf to reflect ap_scan=2 and added adhoc network section

* modifying tiwlan0.ini to enable wifiadhoc and added desired SSID and BSSType

The closest I came to connecting to any ad-hoc network is while running wpa_supplicant.adhocfix the (*) SSID actually showed up on the available network list and I can click on it to connect (and enter WEP key). However, NT seems to go into an infinite loop while trying to get DHCP and the yellow triangle showed up in the status bar indicating DHCP error.

Ideas anyone? The binary for wpa_supplicant.adhocfix seems to be valid however it is unable to access the system network settings to set IP's. I've also tried to chmod 4755 on the binary but that did not help as well.

Can someone please help on this issue. Thank you!!!

Is cm7 out for any other omap 4 phone? I am a noob regarding linux builds but will continue to try to build it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zambien:
I tried this with 9 different version of wpa_supplicant which have been patched for ad-hoc. It seems that no one has fixed this for wpa_supplicant v0.6.10 with tiwlan0 and gingerbread. When looking at the output from adb logcat I could see various errors about tiwlan0 not working and other issues where the ssid was lost during the handshake.

But there is good news on this. I was able to find a working binary wpa_supplicant that does not connect to ad hoc but does work for wireless normally on the NT. It is the reference gingerbread build for the pandaboard (the reference board for omap4). The source is available and I am working on recompiling it with the patch for ad-hoc. For all of the other patches and roms out there I haven't been able to get this far so this looks promising.
[Acer Iconia A500] musclehead18:
Hi I'm having a lil problem I'm running PRIMEE-P9 David's MOD custom rom and alot of the games force closes, what I'm guessing is the custom rom, what do you guys think? And also what's your favorite Acer iconia a500 custom rom/kernel
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Primee is a pretty cooked rom. One of the older ones around I think, so it's probably had a lot of changes. Honestly, I never flashed it.

Taboonay is another really cooked rom. I ran it for awhile, then tried installing my first game, 9mm, and it told me incompatible hardware?? I don't play games much, so not a lot of experience with them on cooked roms.

Eventually flashed to a lesser cooked rom (internal 3g freezes on the cooked ones occassionally). (9mm installed fine then)

So I think if you stick with the lesser cooked roms like Harkon and Lightspeed, you'll have better luck with games. Both come with custom kernels for OC, and if you want to try a different kernel, flash Thor's 3.9r3 at www.tegraowners.com , also, for the a500 he has a really good rom available (non a501 type)

EpicMTD is a project that replaces Samsung OneNAND FSR Drivers with OneNAND MTD drivers from the Nexus S 4G.

It uses YAFFS2 filesystem and you cannot replace it with EXT4.

EpicMTD conversion script for MTD-Kernels and will be used in CyanogenMOD.

It for developers(including winzip or WinRAR or 7zip developers) only and MTD support is coming. ( NO ETAs!)

MTD is used in Nexus S 4G and many devices even the Evo 4G.
