Anyone get Odin to run in VMWARE FUSION

Has anyone been able to use ODIN in Fusion. I'm trying to root and install clockworkmod on epic but Fusion does not see my phone in Download mode. If this doesn't work what are the options on a mac to root epic on gingerbread?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cr4ck3r4lif3:
Only way I can use Odin on my Mac was to install Windows using Bootcamp. It now recognizes both my Razr and my gTablet.

You'll have to boot into Windows rather than using a virtual Windows session.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iakovl:
i'm looking for a new tablet and found a refub of NC for 120$ is a refub a good idea?

with all the shipping cost it will go up to 169$, there are also other no name tablets (some of them are good) for this price (with the shipping...)

need some advice
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koopakid08:
Yes, great deal. I have bought one new nook and one refurb and you could not tell the difference. Do NOT go with a no name tablet or you will be crusing trying to do anything. The Nook is a great low priced tablet that is very hackable and easy to use. Plus it is unbrickable and can boot from an SD card
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iakovl:
well... orderd mine a min ago... 127$ with NJ tax + 44$ local tax and shipping...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Ditto on buying a refurbished one. I also bought one new and one refurbished and could not tell difference. But check out the refurbished ones being sold on eBay directly by B&N for $119.00 plus sales tax and free shipping. Look at posts here in this thread for a direct link.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rampart51:
I have a refurb also that I got from Overstock. It was shipped from B&N. Paid 139.

It was in perfect condition with no issues. 1 year warranty.

So...at 119....it is a steal.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howoods:
I'm glad to see that you guys have good luck with your refurbs. I ordered one from B&N on Ebay last night. $119 plus $9.29 OK sales tax. I can't wait for it to get here.

Refurb is even better than new. They rigorously test the refurbs so they are pristine.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BKKKevin:
Barnes & Noble is presently selling them on eBay for $129 with free shipping... And since you are essentially buying from B&N warranty issue should also be no problem.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulxlight:
It's a great idea mate. I bought mine refurbished with a 1 year warrenty and I'm happy as can be. Buying a NC new at this stage would be a waste in my options as long as you get it from a good source with a trustworthy warrenty furbed.

Get a good deal from B&N with ebates!

Ok, so I learned that ebates doesn't give cash back on Nook purchases. Now if you buy B&N gift cards (not customizable ones), that should qualify for cash back (8% as of now 11/30/11). B&N also has a $10 eGift card for every $100 gift card purchased promotion ($10 to be given after Christmas 12/26/11). Buy $200 in gift cards and get $20 later. You will also qualify for first ebates $10 gift card and cash back ($200 x 8% = $16). So if you're willing to wait for gift cards and cash back later, you can spend $200 and get $30 back in gift cards and $16 cash back via ebates!

http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=57425AA/uPYCeMjozi1Qkw==

Found a coupon for $10 gift card for $50 purchased at Target (in store only). Expires 12/3/11.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpma03:
Ok, My sprint evo 4g is acting up and I can't figure this out. Here's the details any help or suggestions would be great!

It is rooted, It's been running the Mik Sense rom. I've never had any problems out of it. I upgraded to the 3d and was going to sell the evo. So I went to settings and hit "restore to factory settings." Now When the evo starts up, all get it is the stock multi color background, In the top right corner I see the battery life, time and signal strength. nothing on the screen, nothing will drop down from the menu. I tried to do a hard rest and reboot it (hold down the down volume button and the power button) It did nothing but put it to sleep.

I plugged it in to the computer and it charged only, It didn't ask what I wanted to do, it did it all on its own.

I have no idea on this one, any thought or suggestions?

Thanks!

Have you tried just flashing another Rom like a stock rooted Rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If you're wanting to unroot it to sell it, just run the latest RUU. If you want to get it back to s-on as well, you'll need to follow the directions for unrooting the method you used to root.

Pull out the battery then put it back in then power button +volume down and it should work

Tis correct. You also probably couldn't get to the bootloader, because the 'fastboot' option may have still been enabled.

I can't see Bangla properly on my Atrix 4G :(

I've installed the Bangla font. But its not perfect. Some letters are not coming properly (maybe it needs complex indic language support)

As far as I know only Samsung's Asian ROMs can show Bangla properly. Do you guys know how to port the Indic Language Support on our beloved Atrix?

ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 Easy installation for Xperia NEO/NEO V *Requires Root

#UPDATE: This method wrks perfectly on ICS. Tried on my own and also tested by othrs :D

#Also Works on All 2011 Xperia Devices on Stock 2.3 ROM

#Also Works on NEO SE.TWEAKED V0.7..........Thanks for thx84 for the info ;)

1.Run install-cwm?.cmd

install-cwm1.cmd for Xperia Arc / Neo / Neo V

install-cwm2.cmd for Xperia Mini / MiniPro / Active / Live With Walkman

2.Enable USB Debugging on device

3.Connect your device using usb data cable

4.Follow on screen instruction

CWM install Download UPDATED*

Update : support Xperia Arc / Neo

Updated to CWM-5.0.2.7-nAa-r2

ADB Driver Download UPDATED

ADB Driver tested on :

- Xperia Arc

- Xperia Neo

- Live With Walkman

- Xperia Mini Pro

The Above one is the Easier Method and below is the old copying method using Root Explorer :

Installation *Requires Root

Download CWM From here and extract its contents.

Using Root explorer: copy ALL the contents of the system folder (system/bin and system/xbin) to /system (system/bin and system/xbin respectively), then give 755 permissions to those files, especially to /system/bin/chargemon, or you'll get bootloop. Double check everything before rebooting.

Usage

When booting your phone and when the 'Sony Ericsson' logo appear, press and release continuously the volume down button.

Once you are in the CWM recovery, use the volume keys to navigate upwards / downwards, the 'home' key to select, the 'back' key to go back.

Notes to everyone:

Do NOT use this recovery if you are not in Stock 2.3 firmware.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Almost all custom kernels have built in Cwm. So u should have nothing to worry.. And if u run into any Kernel like the stock one, this thread should do it.. I'd suggest a custom Kernel as its a better n easier way out :)

It gets deleted after flashing the stock .ftf file, how to install CWM permanently?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sujithar37:
If you are using stock firmware then you don't have cwm,root by default.

So you have to root your device first then you have to install Cwm on your device. Because root permission is needed for installing cwm. This is the step by step method.

For rooting stock firmware, refer below the links

Using a custom kernel...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sujithar37:
Once you unlocked bootloader you are totally free from Sony security

From my experience with custom rom, I would say custom kernel is the best one compare with the stock kernel.

Lot of custom kernels are available in neo v threads or rom threads. You can simply flash the kernel via fastboot mode. Always remember you have to unlock the bootloader inorder to do the same. Else your phone will brick. Once you flashed custom kernel then you don't need to worry about the cwm installation. Most of the custom kernel has cwm by default...

So my suggestion is unlock bootloader and have fun with your neo v...I am using custom rom since 3 years now..totally I forget about Sony.....thanks to xda and shame to Sony update.;) ;)

Donate me if you can :cool:

Hello, i need to install Cyanogen on Xperia Arc S,

So ...

1. I rooted my phone useing Eroot

2. I installed SuperSu

3. With CWM_Installer-v5.apk i install CWM recovery

I have the same problem with all custom roms, when i try to flash them i receive status 7 error.

I checked on youtube and google for fixing this.

I deleted the Asserts from META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script”.

And i still same error

Some recomanded to update to phillz recovery or twrp

I tried to flash Twrp but the phone skips to enter recovery mode after flashing twrp

My phone has bootloader locked and i could not unlock bootloader.

I checked on sony website for

Unlock the boot loader

i typed

*#*#7378423#*#*

App Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. Bootloader unlock allowed says NO

I asked for my code

fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x90F9F5C0082C32F3

i started ADB, when i type adb devices is shows the phone , but when i type fastboot devices, i receive no response

So my question is:

How can i change CWM with Phillz or TWRP? and where can i find and working Phillz recovery for xperia arc S
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kiwiBratwurst:
Ive tried both methods now and I can't get this working on my Neo.. I have a fair bit of experience with these methods from years of modding my old X10mini.. but for some reason neither way works..

The automatic install script stalls after saying "Installing ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6" just sits there for 10min until I get bored and give up..

and the old manual way seems to be fine, I can copy the files over to the System/bin and xbin folders, change the permissions.. but when I reboot the phone no matter what I try with pressing the down volume key repeatedly (like the back button on the old CWM on the mini) it doesn't boot into CWM.

I'm running latest global firmware from XDA.. rooted with "DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush" Busybox installed and Superuser grants access to the script (however it does it automaticaly and doesn't ask for permission.. even tho I have it set to always ask) still it says in the log that superuser was granted access.

any ideas? Have already tried both methods several times with no joy.

Cheers

1.Open install-cwm1.cmd.....

2.when it says please connect u r device in debugging mode,put u r phone in debugging mode and connect it to u r pc(do not mount sd card)

3.after some steps,it will ask superuser permisson...so btr keep u r screen awake and give permission....(if u leave this step it wont install)
