To UC team and to all SL community

Where is UC team? I have never seen a person in my whole lifetime who is busy more than Obama (president of America). I really wonder how UC team dont get even just 2 min to just reply in this thread...?? Dont they have any moral responsibility of at least replying to their own created thread??

Now please dont tell me that "they have their own life, they are not paid for their work, bla bla bla..." If people dont know then I will tell u some facts. We have donated nearly 18000 Rs means nearly 340$ for a brand new device for development. Its not a small amount.

And one more most important thing that I know UC team member's real name & their real facebook accounts where I PM'd lot of time nearly one month ago. They do other activity on facebook but they never reply me. They surprisingly find time on facebook but not for us on xda. What meaning should I take from this?? If they want to keep donated device then straight way they should tell us or else for sake of development they should return it to us which can be used in a much better way.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] o0Arthas0o:

they were not the right person to donate the device .... you should have think twice before donating device to them ,,,

Wish I could know or predict future. Otherwise I would have not taken donation decision :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivAnash:
Looking at Doomlord's work or record anybody would have gone in for the donation ...it's nobody's fault..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] TheDarkLord1997:
The donation has been taken undue advantage of . Doomlord has been active releasing kernels for the new xperia's . I wonder what is holding him and Napster back from developing for this device. It has been nearly 3+ months since an update.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] carniman78:
vishal, as you well know, in the past I have some disagreement with you about the responsability of a developer when the comunity take the decision of donate a device. But, in my opinion, donate a device to UC team was a good idea because they opened us the way to get a modified kernels, OC, new types of CWM, etc. You had a great idea in that moment, and I know that you made a lot of efforts to locate people that wanted to work in our devices. Please do not feel bad now because those people are not working for us right now; they've done a good job with our I9003 and, in part, that's because your contribution.

Excuse me for the OT. Regards
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Good news

Guys good news :D I talked with doomlord. He is ready to return device. He told me that he & napster will remain busy in future for longer time & donated device is meant for development so they dont have any problem in returning device as it will be helpful for us to use that device for development purpose :)

So guys I talked with Dhiru & he thinks that stratosk will be perfect person to whom we can give our device. Once I recieve device I will approach to stratosk. Hope he will agree for us.

Stratosk recognised developer profile

Apologise from me...!

Hello guys just today in the morning I recieved device from napster. I must apologise to UC team & especially napster. I must confess that I was really harsh with them on this forum :( Its a different thing that they couldnt developed kernel 3.x kernel for us (because of really busy schedule which is really a valid reason) but they have developed lots of good things like OC frequency, superb governers, scheduers, various features like touchscreen support recovery & lots of other stuffs which improved our device capability alot.

Napster is really-really very nice guy. When I met him he talked with me very nicely & delivered me our donated device which still look like a brand new device :) So with a sincere heartly aplolgy I wish UC team for a bright future :)

Recently, based on people's request I got to know that my host server was down because of some reasons.

I have updated links for the final kernel release. I hope the original host server will be up and working soon.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] UL7RA:
Some days ago I traded a PS2 and some money for a Motorola Milestone. I noticed that it already had CM7 installed. All works fine, exept that it is locked to Orange Romania. I ordered unlock codes on multiple sites, they didnt work and I asked them to refund. There's a strange thing: 2 of the sites sent me the same codes -that must be the one- but when I enter it, it's the same error "The code has failed to unlock the network". I thought that it's a good idea to wipe my SD Card, and I did it from recovery menu. It worked fine, but now, recovery won't open, it just shows that exclamation sign and the phone near it for about half a second.

So, there are 2 problems: the one with the recovery, and the unlock code.

I cant use the phone until it's unlocked because I have Vodafone RO.

I bought the codes with multiple sums of money: 10$, 7 Euros, 5 Euros

The service shop of Orange RO said that it costs 30 euros to unlock the code - too much- and the closest unlocking shop don't even know how to unlock it (I went to them and they said: "Oh, we don't even know how to unlock this phone")

I can say that Motorola Milestone gave me the biggest headache I've ever had, with Optimus One I unlocked it, installed ROM for myself with no problem and all of it's features still work fine.

So, here I am, with a very good unusable phone, begging for help on this site. Maybe some kind of "prince" will save me and my new phone.

If you read it all, thanks.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] daria55:
for the openrecovery, you have to copy it on the sd car again. the openrecovery folder and the update.zip .

where should I put the update.zip?

Edit: Copied to root, recovery works again. Next problem, I waint to return to stock rom, how do I do it?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
I'm a little confused here. Can B&N actually force an update on you? Or is it like the iphone, where they notify you that an update is available and then you decide whether to update or not?

I'm little wary of a company that would force an update to my device, without letting me know or giving me the option to decline. Is this really how B&N works? If so, I don't know if I'm gonna keep my Nook Tablet. I prefer to decide when I'm gonna update, not leave it in someone else's hands.

Anyone know anything about this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dexx0008:
you don't have a choice, the update will appear and update your device. if you look in the nook color thread there was a work around to prevent it I believe. same way google market would auto update without a workaround.

I ran cm7 off of sd and kept stock nook so i didn't really care.

I haven't rooted the tablet yet since I'm betting b&n will patch the loophole and I want to see how things play out. if it is true they locked the bootloader to get netflix hd it kinda sucks. I'm sure netflix didn't have a choice in requiring that either.

yet again, the avg. person gets screwed with the idea you can protect your content when in reality it won't stop people from stealing.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] diamond_lover:
I think the sqqlite method is the best.

I'll try when I will receive my nook :rolleyes:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bonzer2u:
+1.......................
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Well I'm not too technically savvy, so if I can't follow any of the methods to block OTAs, then I guess I'm gonna have to return the tablet. It's a great device but I don't like the idea of suddenly being unable to use 3rd party apps that I paid for from Amazon, as well as apps that allow me to watch divx files, etc. I wasn't even planning on rooting, I'm fine with just sideloading apps. But if B&N removes that ability, that greatly decreases the value of the tablet, sadly. Might as well return it while I'm still within my 2 weeks and seek out a device that's slightly less restrictive.

It's a shame because I've been looking for a tablet for a long time and I really thought the nook might be the one. I guess the search continues.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
Don't panic

Again - this is a really new topic. Don't return / cancel your order based on OTA updates.

Don't Logon to Avoid Update

I think I have been able to avoid an automatic update by not logging on to BN.com from stock until I'm ready.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Hey that's a really good point actually.

If we don't log into BN.com, how do they even know that we own a Nook?

I haven't logged in and have no plans to do so, so maybe that means my nook won't automatically update?

Perhaps?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] downsay:
In order to do this...if we have logged in to the B&N account, can we remove the account without doing a restore?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Thing is, if you never registered your nook with B&N- how do they even know you have one?

It's not like there's some central computer out there that detects nooks and updates them when it finds them.

Seems to me (and I could be wrong) that if you don't access B&N services, they have no way of knowing you even own a nook.

Unless the Nook itself somehow "phones home" without your permission- how would B&N know about it, much less update it?

Anyone (more in the know) have thoughts about this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] darkquota:
If I do root the device and it does autoupdate, will it brick my device?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Another good question is, can you use your nook without registering it with B&N?

I'm tempted to restore mine, just to see if I can fire it up without needing to register. I'm never gonna use B&N services, so there's no point.

Another question: can you DEregister a nook from B&N?

Curious...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anlog:
I was never able to bypass the registration screen after a factory reset. I think you HAVE to register.

Can't you just block the update server in your HOSTS file by pointing it to loopback or something?

On the Nook Color you could manually download the update file and drop it into the root of /mnt/media (I think that was the folder) and it would install when the device was idle. If you can figure out what the file name is you might also be able to create a file with the same name and remove all permissions so that it can't be overwritten (hence no update).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MonkeysInACan:
Its under the nook settings
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Yeah I was wondering about that. Well that's discouraging.

However I'm still wondering about what happens if you're never logged into your nook account. B&N can create the update, but how can they push it to your nook if you're not logged in?

Granted with this method you could NEVER log in, but frankly I could live with that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anlog:
You can de-register your device by signing into the B&N website on your computer and going to the device section for your profile. I think if you do it from the tablet it will force a factory reset.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Yeah but the problem is once you've reset, you can't bypass the registration screen and gain access to the nook, at least according to anlog. This means you'd just have to register again. Which means there's no point in deregistering.

Honestly, I don't know why B&N insists that we tie our devices to their site and services. I think it should be optional. I personally don't need them to know I own a nook. Forced registration seems unnecessary. Those who want to buy their books will, those who don't, won't.

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

Also, you can't de-register on the site anymore. When you try you get a pop up explaining how to do it on your device. Bummer.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CandyNJ66:
If this happens, I will just put an ad on craigslist for someone to root it, unroot it so I still have the market working and I will be happy.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Well so much for my plan to stay logged out of my B&N account to avoid OTA updates.

There doesn't seem to be any way to log out on the nook.

Rats.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jerrykur:
Buying books and apps is how they subsidize the cost of the tablet. Maybe if you would pay an extra $100 or so they could afford to sell you one without the link to their stores.

People should buy stuff from B&N to ensure they continue to subsidize the tablet's cost.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PlacidCat:
This. I have the luxury of time on my side as I won't be able to get this before Christmas so I'll be watching carefully. I would certainly hope that an auto update would not brick the device but given what one can do with root (alter system configurations, remove "bloat", etc.) I would think that depending on what you do with root could cause problems with an auto update.

I would also hope a hardware reset could correct most issues but, from what I'm reading in these forums, it sounds like the reset assumes certain files will remain untouched.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Regarding the ability to sideload apks on the nook tablet, the gentleman who runs thedigitalreader.com suggested in a post that maybe B&N left that loophole in intentionally. In an attempt to placate users enough so that they won't bother hacking, etc. I hadn't considered that, but it's actually a pretty sound theory. They're allowing users to have a tablet experience without actually altering the operating system of the tablet, etc.

If this is the case (and I surely hope it is) then maybe they'll leave that feature intact when they update. Which would be perfect for folks like myself, who have no real interest in rooting, but just want access to other app stores and apps that B&N doesn't offer.

Just a thought.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdajunkman:
I would just like to bump this topic up. Even with the NC it took months to get a good build of CM7 running....and that was without our bootloader problem. Now that we have root, this device rocks and can essentially be set up however you like. An OTA update could ruin this. Blocking OTA updates at this point should be a top priority. Any progress with this would be worth some Paypal pizza money in my book.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
I second what the previous poster said, definitely.

Worth every penny to support the folks who create this wonderful stuff.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdajunkman:
Well, there wasn't much activity here, so I tried the sqlite3 method that we used for the Nook Color in the early days before a stable CM7 (as suggested by the OP). There are the same database entries for the Nook Tablet as there are for the Nook Color, so I am hoping that that method will work. I followed the directions using sqlite3 as per the multiple threads in the Nook Color forums and the appropriate database entries have been changed. We will see if this actually blocks updates.

There is no need to start re-inventing the wheel here about how to do this, how to install/use sqlite3, etc. This was covered exhaustively in the Nook Color forums...go there and search for 'block ota updates' and you will find many threads that detail how to do this. This is one good thread to get you started:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeanGibson:
On the NC there was a way to bypass registration (check the B&N forums for "skip out-of-box experience"). Whether than works on the NT, I don't know.

---------- Post added at 04:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 AM ----------

I can understand disagreeing with B&N's decision, but understanding why they did what they did, should be pretty clear. Both the Kindles and Nooks are sold near or below costs, in order to make the profit from media sales.

Just like printers are sold below cost, in order to profit from ink or toner sales.

Just like Kodak used to sell film cameras below cost, in order to profit from film sales.

Etc.

Ah, the value of speculation! Compare that to http://www.pcworld.com/article/244384/nook_tablet_rooted_gets_you_android_market_apps.html
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Eh, I'm not too worried about it. I'm pretty sure that "we're working on it" is their standard answer for every question they're asked. But in the final analysis, there's no real advantage to them closing that loophole. They're going after the people who plan to buy B&N content and have no idea what sideloading is (which is most people). I don't imagine B&N is that concerned about losing sales from people who like to hack their tablets. They probably know that people like that have no plans to pay for their content anyhow. We see them as this Dickensian superpower that's trying to force everyone into their store, but the reality is that they're probably fine with the people who enter their store willingly, as those people far far FAR outweigh the ones who do not. They're after the grandmas but they're happy to sell their tablets to the hackers as well.

And in any case, as another user stated, if they do close that loophole- someone else will just find another one. That's the beauty of the hacking community. There's nothing done that can't be undone.

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

I'm actually kind of tempted to try this but I'd hate to lose all the apps I've installed if it doesn't work.

Anyone out there give this a shot yet? Any chance it works?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Okay I was just too curious and I tried the method explained here:

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Factory_Mode/Skip_Out_of_Box_Experience

I'm pleased to report that it worked. I was able to access the Nook Tablet without registering it or signing into B&N. I'm guessing (hoping) that this means I won't be receiving future updates that will disable my ability to sideload/root. Since I'm not registered, B&N should have no way of knowing I have a Nook and therefore not bother pushing out updates, etc.

On the downside, I also will miss out on awesome new features, should they add any in the future. So I guess it's a double edged sword, of sorts.

And that's IF this process even blocks updates, which I won't know for sure until they push one out. But the fact remains that it is possible to skip the "out of box experience," in case anyone's looking to do so.

Just a heads up.
