[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You can take the back off. I have not done it, but somebody just said they did it to disconnect the battery to reset. Look at that recent thread in q/a. Maybe he can tell you how he did it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MISRy:
Attempt at your own risk, no support will be provided.

I'm not the battery guy leapinlar was talking about but,

Open the battery flap, remove SD card, remove the tape dots from the T-5 torque screws then remove the screws. Slowly and carefully so as not to break any of the hooky thingies that are holding the back on pry the cover up from that point moving slowly around the unit.

I've only done this once, it was a while back and I ended up breaking two of the little hooky thingies. That's why I suggested providing points for evaporation to escape and attempting to accelerate evaporation. Heck we don't even know if moisture is the issue anymore.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
Thanks for the extra suggestions.

I tend to think at this point that whatever water got in there is gone. It's been four days, and it wasn't soaking. I may just go ahead and try and take out the battery, I don't know exactly why that would help, but what have I got to lose?

If I had to guess, I would think that the wifi chip might be shorted, as that is the only thing that doesn't seem to work at least for some period of time.

The FC's sure do look software related though. I fail to see how CWM could read and mount the sdcard while the ROM cannot as being anything other than sotware. Unless they use wildly different methods to do the same thing.

This nagging feeling that I should be able to at least fix that with some software methods keeps me thinking the same or the other problems. I'd be okay with an non-networked tablet, if it came to that. But maybe the thing has to have wifi as an option to work right. I don't know...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malave:
Two weeks ago my daughter managed to completely soak her nook.The nook would just constantly reboot with the stock os and system process would repeatedly fc with the cm7 sdcard. I pulled the back cover off and let it stand for a week. Today I pulled the battery and power button cable and it booted up just fine so far. So there is hope.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
Considering that this is basically what is happening to me (but with some additional Wifi setting crashes) this gives me hope.

I had burned a bootable CWM card, from Leapinlar, which was a higher version than I usually used. I think 5.5.0.4 (?)

Anyway, of interest (before I shut it down 2 days ago):

internal sd card is not wiped, it can be explored in CWM.

The /ROM partition is at least somewhat functional, as battery stats can be wiped

When I request a log, I get:

Battery Stats
Block Groups: 3
reserved block group size: 23
Created filesystem with 11/22608 inodes
and 2883/90357 blocks
warning: wipe_block_device: Discard Failed
W: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (no such file or dir)

also at one point:

make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

(note: both of the above from hastily scrawled notes)

It looks like mmcblk1p2 is related to system mounting, although I am not sure. Maybe that is why I am having trouble with ADB. It just kept saying insufficient permissions and ???????????. I tried setting up android-rules for udev with no luck.

Unless I hear anything else promising, I will go get the proper screwdriver and try the battery thing. It has been sitting off for a couple days now...

Thanks for all the ideas, people.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
I'm confused... but trying to help you out... why are you trying that stuff on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 when /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is the ROM partition?

Try your edits to /rom... and if you have to try: mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /rom
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
I actually didn't try to do anything. I just wiped system, cache, davlik, battery stats and asked for a log prior to flashing a new zip in the hopes that the rom would work if provided a blank slate.

I wiped battery stats since the .bin that holds them is in /rom. The log was something I had never done before.

The notes from above were just the CWM output from the log.

edit: I just saw your second paragraph. Don't know how I missed it.

But I don't know what you mean by edits. I haven't been able to get ADB working. I have been able to mount and unmount through CWM that's it. Unless you might know anther way to resolve insufficient permissions with beaucoup question marks instead of device number?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
Ok... sorry about my confusion on that... It appears that you are using a CWM that is modifid to work on SD... since it is trying to access /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 since the rom partition is on /dev/mmcblk0.

I would try a different version of recovery.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
Which I was. I got it from Leapinlar, and was under the impression, since I had seen him warn that roms flashed from that recovery would go to emmc, that it would work.

I did make a regular 3.2.0.1 bootable, and tried again, but with the same result, so I don't know if that made a difference. But it did seem hopeful, so thanks for the response.

I am going to finally go get the torque screwdriver and take this battery off and give it some days. It's been almost a week already, but you never know.

Thanks a bunch for the reponses, Diz.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Mateorod, if you got that log using my CWM boot SD version 5.5.0.4, the recovery.fstab lists /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 as SD-EXT, which for some devices is the extended partition on SD for storing additional apps to supplement /data. Our implementation of CM does not use that. So when recovery tries to do some wiping, formating, backing up, etc, it always fails when it looks for that partition. It has nothing to do with /system or /rom.

If you told it to do a factory reset, it tries to wipe /SD-EXT as part of that and it fails to wipe that because it cannot find that partition.

Edit: That CWM SD does do its modifications to emmc. It only referenced mmcblk1p2 because of sd-ext.

Here is the filesystem table from my log using it on SD:

0 /tmp ramdisk (null) (null) 0

1 /boot vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (null) 0

2 /system ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 (null) 0

3 /data ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 (null) 0

4 /cache ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 (null) 0

5 /emmc vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 (null) 0

6 /sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (null) 0

7 /sd-ext ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (null) 0
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayfoxmg1:
The alcohol trick does work, I did it on my old HTC Kaiser. I disassemble it as much as I was comfortable, and then completely submerged it in alcohol until It stopped throwing up air bubbles; Thus showing there was no air left in the unit. I then removed the pieces from the alcohol and put them in a bowl of rice. I let it stand for about a week. Once the time was up a reassembled and turned it on like nothing had happened.

Little note: I was in the possession of a AT&T Go Phone for use as a back up in case this destroyed the unit. If you feel that there might be another way to repair it, I would suggest you explore that option first as I do not know what a significant time in alcohol will do to the inner workings of the Nook. However if you are at the point of already replacing or upgrading to a different tablet, than you have nothing to lose and can only gain a working Tablet or fancy Paper-weight from this.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
Okay, a little update.

I had taken apart the Nook and let it sit for almost a week. But upon reconnecting the battery and clearing system/cache/davlik and reflashing anything, it still wouldn't allow in-ROM mounting of sdcard or adb or wireless and I would still get some version of "process System not responding" and "Setting Wireless not responding" toasts and then a crash, either in CM7, CM9 or Stock. Unusable.

What I think I have is a totally borked wifi chip. Which is okay, in the long run, but the Nook kept crashing and I would have liked to use it in some capacity.

What I decided (which was difficult to diagnose with no terminal or no ADB) was that the Nook was crashing upon trying to access the network and the saved network info. (which I know is mad persistent, as the wifi network I used to originally register the device still shows up in the stats, even after many many system wipes and 8x reboots and so forth.)

I had never reset to factory from stock settings and I couldn't now completely erase and deregister because you need wifi to do so.

However, I found this (which I had never heard of, sounds like a boon to thieves everywhere). After skipping out-of-box experience I could boot into stock recovery and finally erase the wireless settings.

Now I have a stable (albeit un-registered) stock nook, where I can at least read the books I have on sdcard.

I will eventually reflash a CM build now that the network settings have been forgotten and see if that is usable, even if there is no wifi.

But I am pretty happy to have some semblance of the Nook back, even if it is just a neutered (literally) stock.

I'll let you know how CM goes one day soon.

Thanks for the help!

Excellent, (and powerful), link.

And by virtue of that link I will find a way to proclaim my absolute geekitude within the company by dropping Kate's name. :good:
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
Well, I finally tried flashing Cyanogen 7 and 9 to the thing, but as it crashes when it tries to access wifi, I can't get it stable.

Unless anyone knows a code edit (smali maybe? I know there are a bunch of boolean settings in the SystemUI.apk, maybe there) where I can change the default wifi setting, I may just be stuck with stock.

Which is way better than nothing, at least it has use. Skipping OOBE was a life-saver for getting to a place where I could erase the WiFi info.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
Okay, here's another shot in the dark, still trying to get this thing to successfully boot in CM...

I am working on a little project for the Nook, which will be infinitely easier to debug if I can actually boot into CM.

Does anyone familiar with the source code know how to modify it so that WiFi is set to off by default? I am thinking about changing the 'true' to 'false' in the /device/bn/encore/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml entry for wifi found here...

<!-- This string array should be overridden by the device to present a list of network
attributes. This is used by the connectivity manager to decide which networks can coexist
based on the hardware -->
<!-- An Array of "[Connection name],[ConnectivityManager connection type],
[associated radio-type],[priority],[restoral-timer(ms)],[dependencyMet] -->
<!-- the 5th element "resore-time" indicates the number of milliseconds to delay
before automatically restore the default connection. Set -1 if the connection
does not require auto-restore. -->
<!-- the 6th element indicates boot-time dependency-met value. -->
<string-array translatable="false" name="networkAttributes">
<item>"wifi,1,1,1,-1,true"</item>
<item>"bluetooth,7,7,0,-1,true"</item>
<!-- item>"ethernet,9,9,2,-1,true"</item -->
</string-array>

This looks like I am on the right track (this will eventually end up being compiled into the res folder of framework-res.apk) but I may need to track down the ConnectivityManager. Although the cursory look I have given this seems like I may be close to on the right track...

(The wifi being on at boot always crashes my CM installs due to shorted wifi chip, for those of you who may be new to the thread.)

I am asking here just in case someone knows, I may just go ahead and try it if no one chimes in. But better to ask than to blindly shoot in the dark, I figure...

Update:

Success. I am back on CM9 (well, a hybrid, actually...HINT), without wifi.

Update 2: Due to the fact that this nook is now in a Cyanogen-usable state, a new rom will be posted in development tomorrow from eyeballer and I. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I wish I had dipped it in isopropyl alcohol, just so I could say I did it...

hi all

i have installed prime hd 9 with custom kernel i want to exactly know at what min and max CPU frequency should i keep for good high speed performance which is stable i kept some frequency at random and it was not that much speed it slowed my phone and in what governor should i keep
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IHawkeyI:
I personally dont recommend doing anything with your CPU because from my experience I didnt see so much difference and speeding up your CPU will make you battery drain faster and you CPU will reach highier temps. For the governor I use the performance one because it is constantly keeping the clocks on the highest set values. It makes the phone work smoother and while changing clocks its slowing the phone down. You can try and look for every governor meaning but I recommend the performance one. To monitor the temps use SetCPU`s widget.

Hey. I recently installed a few torrent apps to give it a go, and they all download very slowly, and by that I mean slower than my old dial-up connection... 1 or 2 kb/s. I've tried the same torrent on my PC and it downloads way quicker so it's not the torrent - I've tried loads of torrents and get the same speed every time. And I chose torrents with loads of seeds too. So I don't know why it's so slow.

Any ideas?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
You could do it manually by modifying game files, but no, there's no "tool" for it that I'm aware of. I personally have absolutely no interest in developing one, either, especially because that kind of thing gets your box Live account banned (if you use it to gain achievements).

Generally speaking, games (being third-party Marketplace apps) have no access to the registry.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
It is possable with SOME games. They use XML files to to do backups. It's in the protected storage for the games. If you phone is fully unlocked browse around your phone then look in each game to see if you can find the save files and open them to see if you can edit them.

I have done this on a few games that I got screwed on. One was a blackscreen issue and I could not get my final achivement and the other was a app bug that they updated, so I did the minor cheat to get me back to where I was. For example, I set the games scrore right before the achivement, so when I Started the game, I didn't have to do much to get the score.

You need to be carefull on what you do, if you get an achivement that you should not of gotten before another one, it could flag you and get banned or even lose all your gamer score.

I agree with oinky, but if you're on a stock based ROM, then an option for you is to bring along a headset that has a mic and plug it in while recording. Gain using the headset mic is acceptable, but it will then only record in mono.
