[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakovm:
Hi, guys, till now i was just a reader of this amazing forum, but now i had a problem and thats why i had to create and accound :) So, till 2 days ago i was rocking Streakdroid 2.4.4 with a few problems, but everything was fine. But 2 days ago i flashed it with EVG and everything is amazing, but just 2 problems.

1). The default orientation is portrait. I tried to fix it, but no... I tried also http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20420354&postcount=259 this thing and it worked, but with more problems :D I havent got a menu and the dialpad was a lot bigger and i saw only 1 2 3 4 5 6 numbers. So i deleted the files, fix permisions again, clear the caches and im from where i start, with default orientation portrait, so is there a simple way to change it?

2). The second question is the battery life... its not so good for me. Before flash the ROM i've read everything and everybody said its ok, but for me from 100 to 20 just for a few hours and i reflashed 2 times with clearing caches :) And i use only WiFi (not the whole time), a few calls and a few SMS :) SO please help me

[HTC Amaze 4G] sharkoil:
My usb port is not functioning and I just received a replacement however SU is still installed on the phone and all the instructions I see to remove it require adb. I am desperate because I only have 1 day before I can send the phone back due to travel issues. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Amaze 4G] superevilllama:
Download root explorer, delete the .apk in /system/app and reboot. Enjoy.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ringochan:
Are you trying to erase the trace of rooting?

If your phone is rooted and you have been using apps requiring root, you probably have more than Superuser.apk in the system partition. su binary and busybox are for sure in /system/xbin or /system/bin (or could be /sbin). And then, symlinks and inid.d support? They can be easily detected. How about recovery? Can you flash the original?

Without adb access, it can be a real mess.

So, did T-Mo agree to warranty replace your broken phone knowing that you unlocked your bootloader?:eek:
[HTC Amaze 4G] sharkoil:
When I placed the order for the warranty replacement, they asked me about physical or water damage, nothing software related. I recovered my original backup using clockwork recovery and it appears as if superuser isn't present however the bootloader is still unlocked.

Is there a comprehensive post that describes what carriers will do if they detect rooting or unlocked bootloaders?

I have a T-Mobile amaze but I have read so many difffering posts on this issue just from fellow T-Mobile customers alone. Hard to imagine they wouldn't honor a hardware warranty issue because of something a customer does on the software side. But what do I know....I still believe the world is a good place.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Mine only says "Unavailable" because I skipped out of box experience and didnt register to test this. :| yours will still have your email and everything linked so dont worry!

Alright, I'm going to start off with saying that what this does is turn off FOTA for you by modifying data for devicemanager. How do you do it?

Well, let's begin.

12/22/11: New tweaks, FOTA checkin timer = 0 (no checks anymore), Build key difference, FOTA mode = disabled and a few other FOTA tweaks.

First: Download the files unzip them, and put all 3 into the TitaniumBackup folder on your sdcard (you need to download Titanium backup from market for this just FYI).

Then start titanium backup, grant root if you havent already and restore "DeviceManagerService 2.3.4" and then poof! You have now blocked OTA's. :) I'll actually try and make this happen in my script so new people can do it but you can tell if it worked by going into settings>about my nook>Version Number:9.9.9

FAQ

Will this stop me from buying anything from B&N?

NO! You will keep everything and the ability to buy. This does nothing to the services aside from makes a few minor SQL tweaks that affect the devices ability to OTA.

Can this break my device?

No! This process actually holds no risk. It should always work no matter what and since we caught it early on, we can prevent further updates that can fix this.

Are you awesome Indirect?

Yes, yes I am. Now enjoy all the crap I released for you guys :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tep065:
:D Thank you for your work :) Now, does this block any and all interaction with B&N servers (in case I(or anyone else) want to actually purchase a book or app from B&N) or just prevents receiving/installing the update? Also, will it prevent future updates or is it just coded for 1.4.1?

Completed. Thank you again :). My best friend is a Nook "lead" at B&N and she is getting a kick out of our shenanigans. She actually gave it to me as an X-mas present. So thank you again for your work on the Tablet. I (we) look forward to more of your adventures in Nookdom. hehehe

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
This is the sqlite method just provides you with files to download and install...this really isn't that complicated. -.- versus having to actually modify the SQL on the device, its already done for you. Just trust it works, install, and ignore everyone *****ing about updates. Now I'm going back to bed before someone crosses me by asking a stupid question.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Thanks a lot, really appreciate this. My girlfriend is getting a NT for Christmas and I want her to handle the tinkering and guides like these will be of great help to her.

Just a couple questions. Does this work because the OTA updates check to see if you are on a lower version than what is put out (thus the 9.9.9)?

Also, just to clarify, when you said you want to put this into your script, you mean the rooting method you have posted?

Thanks again for all your work. I know B&N hasn't made this stuff easy but I personally think part of the fun is having to outsmart them :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
1) As I havent received notification of update yet, I don't know if they check version but it should if their recovery isnt crap however this has the FOTA check disabled so it should not even attempt to update it.

2)I meant my rooting script, yes.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] itchytweed:
Two thumbs up!!

Thanks for the hack. Once my NT was rooted, I put it to work. Now it is an excellent tool to use at work and the larger display makes life easier.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
I just wanna clarify here: if we've already used the SQLite method and changed the fota value from auto to manual, there's no reason for us to use this new method, right? This is just an easier version of manually editing the file?

If so and if this actually works, isn't this confirmation that changing the fota value from auto to manual actually works? So far everyone's just keeping their fingers crossed, but if indirect is saying that that method actually does the trick- I'm inclined to believe it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wwwdrich:
Indirect,

Although multiple people have already said it, thanks for all your work on the Nook! I now no longer have to worry about leaving WiFi on and having all of the work I've done since I got this thing undone!

Of course, B&N will come up with a way around this for their next update, but at least we're safe for now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
It's not just the FOTA edit, it changes a few things that OTA's typically check before no matter what. I just suggest you do this incase. :p
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Okay in that case, glad I asked. I won't be able to try this for a few days but believe me the second I'm able- I will be doing this (and keeping my fingers crossed). Thanks again indirect and everyone else who's contributed info on this subject.

I have previously frozen dm234 as well. As soon as i unfreeze, 1.4.0 came back on.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RegLinUsr:
First off, thanks Indirect.

For those of you having trouble, I'll answer a few of the repeat questions. The application of the patched files happens almost immediately upon issuing the "Restore" command. I went to "Settings > Device Info > About Your NOOK®" and "Software version 9.9.9" was displayed. One of the problems currently is that the "USB Debugging"

is not a persistent setting

and must be rechecked after opening tgps_launcher again. Also, I get the "Warning - System Configuration: Your system settings may cause problems... ...tick the "USB debugging" checkbox." message upon opening Titanium Backup without a reboot and reset of that setting. Annoying to say the least but its what we have for the moment and will do. YMMV

On a side note, before I replace any files with files of the same name, I modify the original files by adding ".orig" to the tail end of each files' name. Yes, ignore the dire warning about changing a file extension. I started doing this years ago while working in UNIX since changes can sometimes go awry and terrible things happen. Almost always easier to rename an original file vice reinstalling an entire OS. Just my 2¢.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
RegLinUsr, for this case could you list out the full path and file name for each file affected? I plan to do this as well. If 1.4.2 really does put things back they way they were, this will be an easy way to get back to normal and have that upgrade accepted.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] johninsf:
Thanks Indirect! Really appreciate your hard work and look for a donation from me.

I am sure you will let us know when this is in your script but I plan to restore 1.4.0 tonight then root with your steps.

If you happen to update by then, I will let you know how it goes.

You rock.

UPDATE:

It worked! Initially, I restored before rebooting and firmware showed unavailable. I rebooted, it showed 1.4.0, was concerned but then restored 2.3.4.apk and got 9.9.9! Good stuff Indirect.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RegLinUsr:
I did not modify the files on the Nook Tablet, it was the backup files that I modified. You could modify the files on the NT if desired but not really necessary since we backed them up with Titanium Backup already.

When you look inside the Titanium Backup folder on your SDCard, the files are named exactly as the files from Indirect's zip:

com.bn.devicemanager-1351fc675dac5f1a461a09b769b1b4b6.apk.gz,

com.bn.devicemanager-20111222-085657.properties

com.bn.devicemanager-20111222-085657.tar.gz.

I now have Indirect's files listed above on my SDCard in the Titanium Backup folder along with the original files which are currently renamed as:

com.bn.devicemanager1351fc675dac5f1a461a09b769b1b4b6.apk.gz.ORIG

com.bn.devicemanager-20111222-085657.properties.ORIG

com.bn.devicemanager-20111222-085657.tar.gz.ORIG

I do this all the time no matter what OS I'm working on... it has been quite useful at times. Hope that helps!

My software version is 1.0.0, not 1.4.0. Anyone else? (I haven't applied the stuff in the OP yet).

I did a factory reset, so it sounds like that version and the version it shipped with are/were different (possibly accounting for battery life issues I had).

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] phon00b:
I've got ver 1.0.0 as well. Hopefully we'll still be fine.

A couple of notes:

-I had five files appear for me when I unzipped "Unzipme".

com.bn.devicemanager-1351fc675dac5f1a461a09b769b1b4b6.apk

com.bn.devicemanager-20111223-025318.properties

com.bn.devicemanager-20111223-025318.tar

com.bn.devicemanager-20111223-051905.properties

com.bn.devicemanager-20111223-051905.tar

- I added the files to my titanium backup folder via USB. When I opened TB, it wasn't seeing the backup file I had just added. So I went to take a look at the files via Root Explorer and somehow, a few of the files, including the APK, had somehow gained the extension ".gz". So I just used rename to remove that extension.

- Now able to use the backup, it turns out there were TWO backups available to me. Both were dated the 22nd, but the times were 6:53pm and 9:19pm. I figured this was just a missed step in deleting the older file from the zip, so I used the 9:19pm version.

UPDATE:

-Rebooting returned me to 1.4.0
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Yeah the extra files were an oversight on my part

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
I d/l Indirect's zip file yesterday pm, and i'm not sure if i got the most up to date stuff yet. The zip file contained 5 files.

To recap, we want version number to read 9.9.9 or 1.0.0 now??

Thanks.

Note: As of 8am west coast time on the 23rd, i d/l Indirect's zip file which has 3 files in it, and did the restore, and my version number is 9.9.9. Please let me know if that's how you designed it. Thx.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeanGibson:
I was wrong

From information on the B&N forums, there is some evidence that B&N may have stopped 1.4.1 OTA updates (at least temporarily). The web page describing the 1.4.1 update (including the download link) is still present on the web server, but there is no way to get to it via the Nook Tablet support page (as there was previously).

EDIT: My Nook Tablet updated to 1.4.1 a few moments ago, and I lost root. I have some ideas about getting it back ...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Texx-it:
1.0.0 too ... hope will be fine ...

Edit: 9.9.9 after rebooting!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RegLinUsr:
You most likely have two sets of backups now because when you copied Indirect's new files into the Titanium Backup folder, instead of overwriting the files with the new ones you copied over, it probably auto-renamed them; hence, two sets of backups.

My earlier thread here

helps to alleviate this type of issue, if that is the case here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gammaworks:
Hi Dean, you have a rooted NT and you are reading this forum, presumably you know what to do to counter the FOTA. And yet, you NT still got updated. Does this mean the solution devised by the gurus of this community to date is ineffective?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RegLinUsr:
Have you gone to the the

Restore Barnes & Nobel Nook 1.4.0 from SDCard

thread and reverted to v1.4.0 yet?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] phon00b:
There was nothing to overwrite (my backup folder was empty). They were in the zip file.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeanGibson:
No, it means I intentionally did not use any technique (other than leaving FOTAkill.apk in place, which I was informed was not effective), because I wanted to:

See if the OTA update would happen; and

experiment to see if I could get root back again, if necessary after the update.

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

Not yet, because I want to experiment with a few things first, like using "pm" (PackageManager) to install side-loaded APK files. Since I had previously installed ConnectBot, I have command-line access in 1.4.1. in particular to "pm".

EDIT: "pm" apparently needs root access (I should have known ...).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
Do you need the paid version of Titanium Backup for this to work?

I assume so because I can't freeze anything without it saying i need to donate to use the feature.

Changed version number, build keys, and FOTA checkin mode. I just finished changing more and updated the files. Enjoy guys. Now it changes the checkin time to 0 which means it wont check at all.

indirect made a few more changes after I did mine, just wanting to make sure it's all good
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thatdude90210:
I think he showed 2 ways to stop OTA. One way is to freeze DeviceManager using Titanium pro's paid version, which would give you a software version as "unavailable." The other way is to use the 3 files and restore. This can be done with the free version of Titanium. And results in software version as 9.9.9
