[Thunderbolt General] BossJ:
just bought a phone off of ebay, used. Is in really good condition, however, the in earpiece speaker is fuzzy and doesn't sound right... You guys don't have a youtube video to replace that, can you tell me how hard it is to get to that? I know instructions come with the piece, but I wish there was a video or a step by step online so I can see exactly how to do it :D lol
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
Thank you for posting this. I have an LCD to replace in a few days.
[Thunderbolt General] BULLIT22:
Thanks for the Info.
[Thunderbolt General] dm47:
Could have used this when the screen cracked on my first TB ages ago. Still ended up using it for a long time, but eventually got a replacement. I'll bookmark it though just in case!
[Thunderbolt General] Mysticdroid:
The charging port broke on my TB. Any idea how hard that would be to replace? I see that you can get the part for less than $10 some places.
[Thunderbolt General] BULLIT22:
As long as you can solder, you should be fine. It is pretty small area to work with. Found this, The infor should help some,

[Thunderbolt General] djcyph:
any plans on how replace power button? mine was stuck down where power options came up and when trying pry up it completely came off
[Thunderbolt General] Mysticdroid:
thanks for the link:) been too long since i've soldered, I think I'll just have to break down and do an insurance claim. But I think I might get the supplies and relearn how to do stuff like this. It would be handy with how hard everyone is on their phones these days :D
[Thunderbolt General] infinite012:
If there's enough want for it, I could probably post up a DIY to fix the stupid power button (it's a physical fix, not a software fix).
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
What about how to repair camera flash/flashlight LED?

I can't find instructions for this fix ANYWHERE!
[Thunderbolt General] repairsuniverse:
On this phone the flash etc is on the motherboard. To replace this you'd have to replace the board which as you can imagine is not cost effective. This is why there is not a fix / repair for it.
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
True.

I was wondering why I was seeing, on eBay, you could buy the camera flash/LED replacement.

I suppose its a pointless part... kind of like a 4th generation ipod digitizer without the LCD assembly. =l
[Thunderbolt General] Wetzlar:
Thank You

I was haing problems with the power button. Tore the thing apart with your instructions and voila it suddernly works!!:D:D Now to root and set volume as power buttons. Thanks again:highfive:
[Thunderbolt General] wampuscat:
How much further would I have to go to change the USB port? I bought one off craigslist I can't get to charge properly. Swapped batteries with my other bolt. Tried Countless USB cables. I rooted it and put liquid on it like my other bolt. When watching it with battery monitor itll start out charging pretty strong then taper off fairly quickly to like 25ma rate. Can't get above 40 percent. Figured I'd try changing the port from a parts phone I have .because other than that it works great.
[Thunderbolt General] podspi:
Not true. The flash is on a small daughter board. I've replaced one myself. That being said, I'm not sure there is a source for the board other than an otherwise dead Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] reg442:
I have an extra flash board, I replaced mine due to it being out of sync. After replacing its still out of sync... I got a good one of needed

All it does is pop into place and is held down by tape underneath it.. very simple to replace
[Thunderbolt General] repairsuniverse:
Sorry, you are correct. My bad. This model it is on a separate board. However the issue remains the same as you can not source the part except from if you have another dead Thunderbolt.

How many mode (key combinations for CWM)?

1: Boot into Recovery (mine's VolUp & Home + Power)

2: Boot into Bootloader (Is this a restart) cant seem to boot into this mode (how to boot into this mode????)

3: Boot into Download (Mine's VolDown & Home + Power)

<II>

What are other modes ?

I heard there are "FastBoot"...... how to access that and what its different from a "Normal REBOOT"?

****Please Move This To An Appropriate Forum!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
As Xperia X10 Mini Pro don't have a lot of custom reboots, the only one is reboot in CWM.

To enter, you have to keep smashing back button when kernel logo is shown.

just picked up a NT 8gb...

it's running v1.4.2 but i still got it rooted...i got Android Play Store (market) working... i installed the 'NT Hidden Settings' app and selected allow installs from uknown sources...yet, this doesn't seem to stick when i exit the setting...so this may be my problem #1

problem #2...i have read tons of posts from this and other sites and i can't for the life of me get CWM installed so that i can install CM7 or any other rom...a lot of the links i hit are for just the 16gb version and some say i should downgrade to 1.4, yet there is a method for rooting if on 1.4.2...very confusing...

do i need to downgrade to v1.4? what is the easiest method...

i currently have the recovery flash apk, google apps and cm7 on an sd card but this really doesn't do me any good if i can't get into CWM...

btw, if i select the .apk from withing the NT, it tells me that it's not a supported file type...

*heeellllpppp* :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Read my faq, setup adb and come back when you have done that.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
My reading is that the 8gig never was 1.4.0 so you can't downgrade. You say you are rooted and then ask about rooting. I have never had NT hidden settings stick. I would set it, leave it on the screen, hit home, search my file browser run it and use that to install my apk. This left NT hidden settings running and worked for me.

Good Luck!

oh, the reason for the confusion while searching is most threads were started before anyone dreamed of an 8gig and they have not been updated to reflect that it now exist. Most probably never will be updated. Look for specific 8gig info and assume if it is not spelled out that it does not apply to you.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Good now type adb devices and verify if you get the code under ( which means your device is being recognized) . You need to click on the runmefirst.bat if you havent yet.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Use adb push command or adb install to push the recovery flasher app, once done use adb kill-server and unmount safetly nook tablet from windows. Then in your nook tablet search for the app an open it once there let me know. You have to wait 10 seconds after you click on the flash recovery button for precaution and before you click on the reboot to recovery button.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
finally....

ok, have booted into CWM...(which looks just like my Samsung EPIC's version :) )....

am going to select install from sd and pick the cm7 rom now, yes?

also, how long should it take for the whole finding update package, opening update package, etc etc etc...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
i remind you to read my faq about the warnings for 8gb model if you havent yet

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
thanks...

but, hmm...it's been sitting on "Opening update package..." for like 6min now...

is that normal? there a way to get out of this and try again?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
*ugh* 10min and nothing is happening still.....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
well, i was defin frozen.... held the power button and that got me back in to the NT...no CM7 installed...

almost feel like returning this and spending the extra $50 bucks for the 16gb version and not have to go through the stuggle...

is there something different i should be doing besides just installing the cm7 zip??? i don't get why it's not running...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
try wiping data, cache and dalvik cache and try again.

Verify the md5 of the file to make sure the file is not corrupted.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
no dice... tried that....

now i can still get into CWM from the power+N button press but it's still not letting me install..just hangs...

if i just power up, the NT hangs on the "Read Forever" screen...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
i think i need to somehow revert back to the B&N rom and return this thing...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Did you make a backup of your stock rom before attempt to flash cm7? If so flash that if not you will have to download official stock 1.4.2 from B&N support web page, copy it to your sdcard and make it boot (like the acclaim_update.zip process) it should flash automatically.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
no, didn't.... i'm an ape and totally messed this thing up....

if i grab the official 1.4.2 from B&N support, i can just flash that from CWM then, if i place it on the root of the sd card?

not sure why i couldn't get any of this to work...have used CWM before and messed with quite a few roms on my samsung epic pretty easily...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
I tried that, since apparently this nTablet doesn't want to ****ing work with me either way, so I figured I'd revert back to B&N OS before I owe my friend a Nook, but that didn't work, either. For some reason, the tablet won't boot anything from the SD card now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
really.........great great :-(

did cwm not see the .zip file that you took from B&N's website (wherever that file is) or did it start the flash process and not boot up then?

...what a mistake to get the 8gb version...wow

maybe we need some 8gb stock flashable zip file that would work without needing cwm...but not sure if that exists/is possible...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
Yeah, who knew the 50 extra bucks was really worth it, huh? :P

But yeah, someone suggested I try this, so I'll let you all know how that goes. Wish me luck, huh?

Ok, so.... I guess not. I ran the script, which fixed two errors, then rebooted into CWM to flash CM7, annnnnnnnnd.... no dice. Stuck on "Opening update package," again. Damn it!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
f'n aye....

i am at work now and unfortunately can't mess with this....

well, i was going to try flashing the B&N stock zip from CWM but it sounds like that will be wasted effort now....

curious, when you first tried CM7, did it hang on the updating or opening package part? i tried 2 different sd cards and also downloaded the CM7 rom 3 times...

.....really not sure what to do now...i am just stuck at the Read Forever screen but can still get into CWM if i do the power+N button combo....... hmm, so much for getting the 1yr insurance too....

*bleh*
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
I know what you mean. I've got two different SD cards, different brands and different sizes, and neither seems to help. Currently, CWM is hanging at "Opening update package," though it used to get to "installing update package," but it would reboot. Now it just hangs.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
sounds like we defin need the 8gb NT version of a flashable rom zip that doesnt need CWM or a stock 8gb NT rom that CWM can use...

this is a bunch of ****e.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
I agree, but without the know-how, we ourselves aren't getting anywhere with this. Makes me really wish I had paid attention in my early college days when I had the course on information technology and programming languages. Would have come in handy now...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antpila33:
im in the same boat as you guys (and the same city ha!) 8 gig only boots from cm7 sd card.(and adb in ububtu wont recognize device either ha!)...adam outler made a reflash image for our 8 gigs.....downloading now ill let you know how it goes. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1470910&page=8 (bout 6 posts down)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
Since abso-effin-lutely nothing else works for me at this point, I'll give it a try. Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
hold on don't try that first try with other methods, if you run that the serials id's will get messed up and that means you won't be able to register from B&N as you should, instead it will show you an error. So first as it seems you didn't backup your stock rom before anything (that's a rule you always backup your working rom before try any other or attempt to try mods, etc) :

PS. FOR THE NEW GUYS THAT JUST CAME READ MY FAQ FIRST (link in my signature)

* Download B&N stock 1.4.2 from here

* Power off your device

* Remove your sdcard, put it in a card reader and connect it to your PC

* Format your sdcard with fat32 file system and set the 1st/whole partition to "Active" on windows (on Linux is known as LBA:boot) using Mini tool partition wizard home edition (FREE)

... Check the video:

[YOUTUBE]MzT4vPZ7Yoc[/YOUTUBE]

* Copy the nooktablet_1_4_2_update.zip to the root of your sdcard (do not uncompress it), once done eject from PC

* Put your sdcard back in your nook tablet

* While nook tablet still OFF plug it into power or your PC so your device turn off automatically, cross fingers and wait until it boots from sdcard and flash the .zip.

If it works CWM will be gone and your NT will be like brand new. Report back!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
I haven't tried it yet. It's actually STILL downloading, so luckily you got to me before that. But is that really a problem? I just want to get this back to a usable state, at least. My friend has to go back to Hawaii soon, so you can understand my urgency.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antpila33:
downloaded but now im waiting to try....tried veronicas guide for setting up adb but cant for the life of me get adb to recognize my device in linux (xubuntu). I can boot from sd cm7 so im not "bricked" but cant get back to stock.....ultimate goal is to get cm7 on internal and forget about nook stock alltogether.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
Can you tell us how you got the tablet to boot from the SD card? What trick did you have to use?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antpila33:
use win 32 disk imager to write the cm7 image....no need for cwm to be installed internally, only problem is you can only boot to cm7 by plugging in to power or pc and letting in turn on that way ( sometimes takes a couple tries).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
Ok, clarify for me, please; you said write the CM7 image to the SD card? And it should just boot from it, whether or not I have CWM installed?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
updated my last post

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

yes but you still won't be able to boot to internal so you should fix that first

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
But this will at least make the tablet USABLE, right? Maybe even make it easier to fix the internal?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antpila33:
yes i have stock recovery and still boots to cm7, follow the guide both cm7 image and win32 disk imager are both there to download. the first time took a couple of tries unplugging replugging till it booted (only boots to sd when its off then you plug it in to power or pc) win 32 disk imager is pretty easy to use just run it and select your sd card and the downloaded cm7 image and click "write"

it will alow you to install either cwm or stock recovery
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Yes it will leave it as "USABLE" , i finished uploaded the video you can check again my post.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
I understand how to format it, I just can't get the tablet to boot CWM from the SD card. Or at least, I can't tell if it did or not. It still doesn't flash ROMs either way.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antpila33:
which post are u referring to? the adb setup? i am stuck at getting adb to recognize my device in xubuntu using commands in terminal it wont list my device...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
try what i posted first to see if it flash stock that will leave your nook tablet with stock recovery, CWM will be gone.

You can also use "dd"command to flash an image to your sdcard and even insternal partitions (Advanced) but for that you need ubuntu, i have made a complete guide (Video-tutorials) for that.

Edit: Unfortunately you can't flash any ROM only cm7 external... sigh. sucks really. All devs have the 16GB model so unless they own a 8GB model... nada de nada, plus B&N restrictions that increase with every update they release.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
Ok, I'll bite. I have Ubuntu, so that's worth checking out. Where can I find this tutorial?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1570022

Also there in OP there is a link for the 8GB internal partitions (advanced) if you want to try, but don't get crazy with it, first setup and you could try to flash system and boot partitions and stock recovery BUT only if you are booting CWM from sdcard (because it will override CWM recovery) using "dd" command nothing else because you haven't messed up with the other partitions intentionally.

You will be the first one offcially testing for the 8GB model so your feedback would be valuable.

* You need CWM

* I'll attach stock 1.4.2 recovery.img (uncompress)

PS: Did you try the method i posted before booting from sdcard to flash stock 1.4.2?

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
almost home.....am going to try your flash to stock from the earlier instructions (post# 30)...but question....i currently only have access to cwm....this method should just flash on boot correct? i am not flashing this stock from cwm...

and if this works....am going to immediately run to BestBuy and swap this for the 16gb version!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
yeap it should flash on boot, you can't flash it from CWM and once (if it does) stock 1.4.2 is flashed CWM will be gone so your tablet will be purely as out-of-the-box

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
It wouldn't work for me. But I was able to boot CM7 from SD card!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
no good... doesn't boot up from the sd...

just turns on and after a couple of seconds goes to the "Read Forever" screen...

any other suggestions that may work, thank you.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
by the way, is there any way to remove cwm so it just boots up directly to "Read Forever"?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
There is a flashable zip that does it, but it didn't work for me.

Posted from my Amaze 4G.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] antmon:
yep, tried the 1.4.2 flash as well...no dice..

i've given up... i am defeated...lol

maybe there will be more 8gb fixes/activity/programming in the future...

thanks everyone for the help, really do appreciate it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GuyInDogSuit:
I doubt it. But I'm trying something that Veronica directed me to, so hopefully that works.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] saltmine:
Hello,

When I do a test with the SpeedTest app, it gives me fast speeds (10~20mbps), but very high ping. I'm getting 500~700ms ping from using this app to connect to a server that is only 2 km away. I have tried other servers and gotten the same results.

When I ping google.com, I'm getting an average of 300ms.

I live in NYC, and the cell tower is actually very close, according to OpenSignal app. I see others getting 30~60ms times on T-Mobile HSPA, so this seems out of the ordinary.

I get normal ping times when connected to wifi.

Anyone know what is causing this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JPOKeefe:
I get it too its nothing to worry about I think its just a bug and not accurate sometimes. Nothing to worry about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aranurea:
I get it too. But I don't care b/c ping matters to me if I'm playing multiplayer games. I never play games on my S2 except on rare occasions. So long as I get my data, I am satisfied.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
I get them all the time, and slow speeds so I'm not surprised..

Slow speedas as in 2000Mbps.

Mb, not MB.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] saltmine:
No idea about the speed test app, but I don't think pinging google would result in a glitch. It seems there is a delay in loading websites as well.

I even get lower ping on EDGE....

2000Mbps = 250MB/s = 1GB every 4 sec

wat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
That's odd.. thought I set it to Mbps..

It's an order down, so 2000 kbps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
Maybe it's because of where you live. Ping is how long it takes to speak with the outside servers, heavy congestion higher ping.

I live outside of Orlando and get 50 or less. With about 20mbps do speeds and over 2 up...
