Just to be clear...I don't believe the cable itself is bad, I believe the micro USB connector on the device is bad...I make that assumption based on using 3 seperate micro USB cables all with the same result...but maybe, hopefully, I'm wrong.

I've also tried multiple PC's with both XP and Win 7 on them.

Did you flash a different kernel then the stock kernel that's in the rom?
[HTC Sensation] Oomike:
First thing. Make sure you flash the firware upgrade PD58IMG.zip from bootloader. ICS firmware thread is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412618

that put your phone on the latest radio. then flash rom, that usually fixes the problem. I dont think the phone will boot with a different kernel flashed as there are no ICS custome kernels yet.

Only thing missing from Android devices recently is more compatibility with BT devices using different profiles.

For instance I have a FIAT Bravo car with BT head unit built in. It pairs with the car and makes and receives calls with no issue. However it fails to read text messages due to lack of the MAP profile.

I did some searching and it seems some have stated this code thread has worked.

review.cyanogenmod.com/#dashboard,2210

I just wondered whether any bright spark could help some of us lowly peons and bring this functionality to an already great device?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zilog24:
I've spent several hours researching this, but I'm having a hard time finding anything in any way recent. Most of what I find suggests looking into using MyPhone, which went black for Windows Mobile 6 months ago.

I need to transfer the texts from my Windows Mobile 6.5 phone to my new Windows Phone 7 handset. I've found how to transfer contacts, etc, but nothing for my texts. The best I've found is to copy the few most important ones to the SIM, but that's maybe 50 messages at best.

It doesn't seem like getting them out of 6.5 is the hard part - getting them into 7 seems to be the catch. Can somebody please tell me that some progress has been made in this area in the past 5 months? I'd even take it to the AT&T store, and let them use their little copy tool, if that's what it takes.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snipes1836:
I'm quite new to meddling around with phones, but after reading around, it seems that to get the most out of your phone, or for more advanced options, you must root it or unlock the bootloader.

So I have a few questions....

If when I go to configuration information it says "Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No" does that mean I can't root my phone, or install custom ROMs?

What does unlocking the bootloader really get me?

Will it void my 1 year warranty? Or is there a way I can still send it in if anything was to go wrong? Maybe re-lock the bootloader?

Do I need to unlock my phone to flash a kernal?

Thank you!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
First, I'd recommend to you to read this thread.

If you want to unlock your bootloader contact Jinx13 or Alejandrissimo

You can flash custom ROMs/kernels, etc.

You can relock your bootloader, but only to receive OTA's or to use PCC or SEUS.

But you'll void your warranty!

Yes, you've to unlock your bootloader.

I've noticed that when I use "wireless tether for android users" on my phone (free open source on the market) that I can connect my TF 101 and use the access point. However I thought that Android had issues connecting to Ad hoc access points, which is what Wireless Tether creates. Not that I'm complaining or anything, but does anyone know what the story is here? Is this something that ASUS has done in their updates?

[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I was getting prepped to get my unlock code and was finding out how to install Android sdk and adb on this site:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

Went to System Requirements and for Windows it only lists XP And 7. :(

Would that be only if you're going to actually write something for Android? Atm the only windows computer I have up and running is my Vista laptop. I suppose I could try pulling out my old XP desktop system but I don't think it can even use my new monitors. I do have a nice Mac desktop running Snow Leopard but I prefer to do my hobby stuff on Windows as I'm much more comfortable with tinkering on that. I'm much more mystified by OS X than Windows.

I'm running 64-bit Vista and had no problem with ADB. The .zip I got was "android-sdk_r16-windows" and had a flawless unlock/ root process.

No write permissions

Tried to install snowball mod from a macbook pro by just running the snowball.sh. Started up and the B&N stuff was all there, although it looked like it ran without a hitch.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
You can actually push this update via wifi if you mod the update.bat (or update.sh for linux users) file.

Just turn on ADB Wifi (I prefer adbWireless app) and add the following to your bat file:

echo Waiting for device...
[B]adb connect XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX[/B]
adb wait-for-device
...
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/update-package.sh ; su -c /data/local/tmp/update-package.sh" >> log.txt

if exist reboot adb reboot
[B]adb connect XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX[/B]
echo INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL

Use your IP:Port given to you by your ADB Wifi app in place of XXXs. Then just run the .bat!

Run from cmd if you don't want the output to vanish right away.

Anyway, I did the factory reinstall, and reran the snowballmod update. It said the root was still there, so I commented out that check from the snowball.sh, reran the package and everything went swimmingly.

Now, for the update:

The terminal spits out this:

Where the log file gives me:

The file "update-package-v2.0.2.zip" is in the directory. In the "update.sh" file replaced all instances of "${VERSION}" with "v2.0.2" and it seemed to work fine.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Robotronik:
The first thing you need to do, if you have no clue what you're doing, is post the contents of the log file in the snowballmod folder.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cfoesch:
The ".zipte-package-v2.0.2" seems to be related to adb shell "snowball-ver" returning DOS formatted text, even though you're in a *nix. I really did not expect this to happen with the linux and osx versions of adb, but apparently, they perform the same as cygwin... (cygwin I expected, after all, the adb.exe is a windows program). I will fix the update scripts to take that into account.

unzip: can't set permissions of directory 'nook-update-package': Operation not permitted

This message is reported by unzip when it is run by a non-root user on the /mnt/media partition.

You do _NOT_ have to run snowball-update though if you've installed snowball-mod fresh with the most recent version.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dejello:
The changes made to the script were posted here:

I had the same issue with the name of the update file being called incorrectly: ".zipte-package-v2.0.2". With that output the script is looking for a file of that name and it's not finding it. I just changed the value of the variable ${VERSION} to v2.0.2 (since that was what was being reported by Snowball as my current version) and all worked after that.

Easy to fix temporarily:

-open "update.sh" in a text editor

-go to line 66 and change

to

or whatever version yours shows to be running (v2.0.1, etc). Something tells me it might be important to input the correct current version number in ;)

-save and close the file and rerun it.

EDIT: or wait until cfoesch fixes the scripts :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cfoesch:
Scripts should be updated. I changed the awk program from just "//{ print $2 }" to "//{ sub('\r', '', $2); print $2 }" ... this means that it works both ways... *insert your favorite "both ways" joke here*

It should also detect if you haven't turned off automount, and warn you about it. If the nook ends up rebooting, then it would tear the USB mount and could cause file corruption. I got around it by putting things in /data rather than /mnt/media, but then realized, if it has to reboot, then it could cause trouble. So better, to just warn them that automount was on, and quit out.

It also detects better if something went wrong in the installation process, and should report that installation has failed, rather than successful under all cases.

Things may have gotten broken in the process, so keep up the bug reports.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dejello:
I just can't stop Nookin' Around.........god i need to sleep

I decided to check out the update.sh script (can only go so far currently since I have the latest update).

At least for me, (Ubuntu Linux 11.10) I figured something out about the $OSTYPE call to set the $adb variable. I could echo $OSTYPE in the terminal and got a response, but could not echo it in any scripts. Ended up finding the "uname -o" call and that seems to have gotten it to work, although the printout is different.

snowball-update# echo $OSTYPE

linux-gnu

snowball-update# uname -o

GNU/Linux

Changed lines 7 & 8 and seems to have worked:

case `uname -o` in

GNU*|linux*|Linux*)

Now this last part is probably something on my end but: update.sh: 62: ./adblinux: Permission denied :p

Thanks again for the work (and everyone else involved in rooting/hacking these things :))
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cfoesch:
Indeed. $OSTYPE seems to be specific to bash, and not all sh implementations.

If you don't mind could you do this command and give me the output? "ls -l /bin/sh" and "sh --version" Those two commands should explain exactly which implementation of sh you have. (For instance, on the NT with snowball-mod, the sh is a minimal implementation, and does not support $OSTYPE. But on most OSes I've seen sh is actually a statically linked bash, as it is the most widely used shell scripting language.)

The case on that you provided though could be a poor choice, as GNU*) would match GNU/freebsd, or GNU/openbsd, or GNU/anykernel. Sure it is unlikely, but it is possible.

The permissions issue is not entirely your end, but it is an expected artifact of extracting from a zip file. Although, is suppose performing a chmod 755 on it prior to use would be a good idea in general.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dejello:
Ahaha, yes I see the problem in my change.

Terminal output:

It seems Ubuntu has sh linked to dash, not bash, and it would not let it work <-- me learning more and more each day... Still new to Linux as I erased windows from my machine a couple of months back. After doing "dpkg-reconfigure dash" in the terminal and changing to bash, $OSTYPE happily reports "linux-gnu" from a .sh file... And sh --version now reports:

~$ sh --version

GNU bash, version 4.2.10(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

EDIT: changed to dash and back to bash for a test of this, seems to have worked but what do you think?

This was resolved in the most recent update of the install scripts. I was attempting to use grep before busybox was installed. I switched to not grepping the "mount" command on device, and just "grep"ing through it on the local PC.

So, this shouldn't be a problem any further.

---------- Post added at 05:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 AM ----------

You should just need to copy the extracted .ZIP file onto your /mnt/media while USB mounted, then demount everything, and from a terminal you "su", then "cd /mnt/media/nook-update-package" and then "sh ./install"

Everything else should be taken care of. (This was actually the install method for v1.0, that no one every really used except for me.)
