I downloaded an Android application (through torrent) and transferred it on my SD card (in the Nook tablet). How do I launch it to install?

Many thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mrbulanescu:
use a file explorer. navigate to sd card and install the app
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Using a file explorer like ES file explorer browse to where you copied the .apk on your sdcard tap on it > select package installed > select install button.

Sent from XDA premium using my Nook Tablet :P
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Royaltiger:
I believe I did that

I did that by going to the file folder (through the mounted SD card notification) and clicking on that file (with .apk) extension. It says file is wrong format.

Is there any installer that I am overlooking?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mrbulanescu:
try with astro file manager from Android market
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
hmmm hold on did you just buy this device? check the version of the firmaware , go to settings, device info, About your NOOK and let us know what software version do you have. If you're in 1.4.2 and even 1.4.1 you can't sideload. its better if you go back to 1.4.0 where all works well.

No, I am in firmware 1.4.0.

Hopefully I've put this in the right place, I know its a old topic but I jsut bought a x10a and stupidly tried to update it to 2.33.

Here's the short:

I read and reread everything here till I thought I was comfortable trying to update.

Finally got the flashtool, ver 2.1, 2.5, 2.6, and 2.9 (tried all of them)

2.9 just errored out no matter what i tried to flash

2.5 and 2.6 seemed to work, said it was complete

Once I removed my phone and tried powering it on I got a quick green light flas and vibrate but nothing else.. Never powers on.

Read more.. Tried charging it overnight etc.. Nodda.

I've tried over and over to download the flash form this site.. No server.. Searched google and found several even one with the same filename as the one here.. Nodda..

So I'm stuck... Green flash and vibrate but never powers on.. Can ANYONE help?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quaver84:
What is it you're flashing? Flashtool is on ver0.6.8 now.

Edit: on second thoughts, try downloading PC companion and perform a return to stock using the update/repair utility.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliendezigns:
X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200

Version 0.2.5

OS Version 6.1

and

X10 Flashing Tool

Version 0.2.9.1

OS Version 6.1

I've not seen the 6.8 version yet

Also is there anyone else to download the flash and tool from? Since the site everyone seemed to be using is no longer working?

When the green led blinks just hold the power button over and over it will vibrate and bootup hopefully

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliendezigns:
Nodda, tried that a few times. Power it on and the green flash and vibrate and then nothing. Have to remove and replace the battery to do it again.

Do you know somewhere else I can get flashtool 6.8? The site says I cannot download it from the U.S.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quaver84:
You can find it in the x10 Development thread; its a sticky. Have you tried downloading the Sony PC companion to your PC and using the repair/update tool to return the phone to its original state?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliendezigns:
Yes, I've been at this for almost 24 hours straight trying to get my phone atleast back how it was before this mess. I've read a BUNCH of posts about my issue (Try to power on and green light flashes and quick vibrate then nothing) But no one seems to know the answer to this so far.

Ya, I'm sure I'm using it correctly and like I said, theres several posts with the same issue but no answers to the problem.

Update is that I reflashed to a 2.1 Generic and now it atleast turns on for a minute. I see the Sony logo and then a yellow exclamation mark, shuts off, and reboots.

Researching it seems like I need to put it back to factory firmware, unfortunatly I cannot find what I need. AT&T 2.1a firmware.

Anyone have this you could send me?

UPDATE:

After several more hours of messing with it I was never able to sucessfully flash it to 2.3.3

HOWEVER, I was able to finally unbrick it.

Couldnt get PC Companion or Update Service to ever work. Would go to install and end up failing. So I desided to get out my old laptop with Windows XP on it. My machine I'd been using was Windows 7 64bit. Well.. XP worked like a champ. Update Service was able to restore my phone back original and get it back up and running (FINALLY)

I did notice that no matter what flash version I used, when I did a detect on S1 it still showed ATT-1-2-5-6_2.1.A.0.492

I may be wrong but thats still Android 2.1 from AT&T?

Today I called AT&T and got the sim unlock code for my phone and switched to T Mobile... I'm half temped to give this another shot but I have a feeling its the flashs I've downloaded thats the problem as I cannot download them form the links on this forum (server was shut down)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowcolt17:
maybe this is a problem with windows 7 x64? im using the same? hmm
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodigy:
Hi, glad to hear you "unbricked" your phone. I think your problem may be caused by trying to flash a X10i firmware instead of an X10a firmware for AT&T X10. I've heard similar issues before, but now since your with a different carrier, it'd be a lot more easier. I may be wrong.

Trust me I'd much rather use 2.1 than stock unrooted gingerbread, which has some fps problems that makes it a pain to use. I'd recommend rooting it and flashing the fps uncap, or a custom ROM.

If you want to proceed, you have two choices.

1. Painfully use stock gingerbread, root it and install fps uncap or custom ROM with xRecovery.

2. Gain root access in 2.1 and install a gingerbread ROM. Power off device, don't bother booting it as it will not boot. Flash 2.3.3 baseband and kernel.ftf via flashtool, follow the instructions.

Watch out for unlocked bootloader ROMs, I'd wait a bit for you to gain a bit of experience just incase something goes wrong.

If you aren't feeling lucky then I'd recommend just sticking with good old 2.1, the process takes a while to get used to and is quite risky.

Hope this helps.

I want to update my HTC using ROM Manager. I (somehow) found a still working version for Android 1.6. It can flash Clockworkmod Recovery but when I press 'Download Rom' a screen pops up and says that I have to update ROM Manager. However since I'm still using Android 1.6 on my Tattoo I can't update ROM Manager anymore (right now I`m using ROM Manager 4.4.0.7 and ROM Manager 5.x needs Android 2.2 atleast). When I choose 'Download from SD-card', I can choose the .zip file (which I've placed in the root folder), select the pre-installation settings but then (right before the actual installation I guess) the phone shuts down and a phone and an exclamation mark appears and it stays that way (I left it like that for about 15 minutes and no response what so ever).Then I have to remove the battery to put it back on and it just starts up like nothing ever happened.

My phone is rooted (I used Universal Androot) and ROM Manager has SU access.

Before someone comes along saying Gold card or do it manually: my almost 10 year old computer won't make USB connection with the phone, however I can access all the files on my phone using a FTP server.

Can anyone help me?

If you need more info about my phone just ask!

How sure are you that you have clockwork mod recovery??

Did you ever boot in to recovery. (power off your phone and press home + power button)

When you boot in to recovery if you see a traingle with phone and exclamation mark, you have stock recovery.

"an exclamation mark appears and it stays that way"

As per above comment, you don't have CWM recovery.

Hello all,

My application DataSync uses tar to archive application data, and that's working great for most devices. However, I ran into a problem I can't figure out. Tar returns:

tar: com.disney.WMW: Value too large for defined data type

I'm running the following command:

"tar --exclude='lib' -cf " + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/DataSync/Cache/" + dataPackageName + ".tar " + dataPackageName + "\n"

So far there are three users that e-mailed me with the issue. Two of them are using the Galaxy Nexus (one of them running 4.0.4) and the other one owns a GS2. On my request they updated BusyBox, but that didn't do anything. I've also tried including the tar executable in the apk, but that wouldn't work either.

Does anyone here know what's causing the problem? My question on StackOverflow has now earned the Tumbleweed badge, so I'm hoping someone here has seen the issue before.

So in CM9's dev tools under media provider there is a button called insert 20 albums. I innocently hit it trying to see what it did. As expected it made 20 fake albums on my device. However I can't find a way to remove these. Others have said that when they reboot they're gone, but mine stick around. I can't find any files with these names on my device. I also tried adding 20 new ones and rebooting to see if it was just a glitch and they would go away after that, so now I have 40 fake albums on my device. Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

[General Questions and Answers] Sebalos:
Hi, I have dilemma, the time has come to buy new smartphone :)

I know this question was considered many times but let me describe my point of view.

My adventure with smartphones started with Nokia N82 and now I have HTC Desire Z. I was really happy having Desire Z and HTC made a real impression on me. Now I am considering to buy HTC Sensation or Galaxy S2. I really liked dev support for HTC and Cyanogenmod ROM and also other ones. I didn't use stock ROM. I am reading about many positives for SGS2 like display, camera, RAM and cons like Touchwiz, display resolution.

I would prefer to choose HTC maybe beacuse I know their product, I didn't have any samsung before.

My preferences:

For me the most important is performence, customization possibilities and dev support. I don't care about outside but only what is inside. I like sometimes to grab a picture or record a movie. For sure I am using the phone for multimedia: playing, web browsing and waching films. It would be nice if some newer games could be played smoothly. And I was really impressed by HTC custom ROMs (especially CM7).

Could you give me any view for situation repsecting my preferences? I wouldn't like to miss HTC and would like to have sure I will be satisifed if choose SGS2 (it said better performance/hardware).

I hope you understand my uncertainties.
