[Nook Color General] tonestertm:
Thanks so much for this! I've lately been musing on the concept of a dock/frame which might contain things like:

light sensor for auto brightness control, gps, microphone, speakers, extra batteries, etc.

A few questions I have for you, if you would be so kind?

Are pin 14-15 audio inputs or outputs (assuming the latter) ? Line level, or paralleled with the 3.5 jack, or what?

Maybe pin 10 would be better labeled as "Red LED Control", since it turns a transistor on in the charging cable to light the Red LED?

And I'm confused about pin 13 - "green LED control" since green is "always on" (except for that moment when you first plug it in.... Does this relate to that? )

Thanks again. How did you go about this; dead unit?
[Nook Color General] starbright_:
Is there a chance to get the trace for NOOK HD too? Where you get the PCB scheme from - or did you opened the device?
[Nook Color General] chili81:
Old topic but would be great to know - anyone dig into this since the original OP? I'd go nuts if I could hack a spare connector and get line level audio outs to use in the car.
[Nook Color General] andtron:
The wring inside my microUSB head was broken few weeks ago and is no longer working.

I cracked open the connector itself (on the led shell) and found two of the wires were detached. On the device side has 4 solder points that presumably where the 4 color wires (red, green, black and white) were supposed to attach to,

Anyone here know how each of the wires are supposed to go to which points?

TIA.
[Nook Color General] interessant:
If I wanted to wire / solder something directly to attach/solder a microUSB port to charge with the exact same charger the nook color came with, but with a standard microusb cable -- which pcb pins should I be soldering in order to get the full charge power ( and not the current 500mA that goes over a standard microusb ? )

I don't mind if the port doesn't sit will in the case, I can have it hanging outside.. Just need a way to get rid of the dependency on replacing the 12pin microusb cable everytime it goes bad.

Progress and Failure | Hacky Attempt at DIY Plug Charger

Thank you [MENTION=4713050]Gleb Erty[/MENTION] for the research!!

Fortunately, I had a Nook Color, and instead of purchasing a B&N charger, opted for the road less traveled.

[MENTION=3278374]dayssincethedoor[/MENTION]'s thread on the Nook Color USB cable dissection was pretty interesting. Judging by the PCB pictures, there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary besides some circuitry about when to turn on the charging LED.

After some research, I sourced the part on Digikey.

The Digikey part number is A103879-ND and the manufacturer part number is 2129033-1. For those inclined, the datasheet is weird, but understandable given the current limitations at the time (.5 A or maybe 1.5A for USB 2.0?)

That said, the part is crazy delicate. The pitch is too close for ease of soldering, and the pins themselves are delicate.

[IMG="High Res Photo of Nook Color Plug Part"]https://ibb.co/m6hHWdj[/IMG]

https://ibb.co/m6hHWdj

I've annotated the datasheet for posterity, but this hybrid plug is quite interesting. The 17-pin receptacle is compatible with the micro USB (5-wire) and the hybrid 12-pin plug. So, the number of pins on the receptacle is the sum of the micro-USB and hybrid-USB pins. Rad.

Additionally, for posterity's sake, note that the pin number column on the datasheet denotes the receptacle pins not the hybrid plug pins. It makes sense because a 12-pin hybrid plug doesn't have 17-pins. (This caught me in a loop for a good few minutes. :D)

[IMG="Annotated Snapshot of Nook Color Plug Part"]https://ibb.co/C0M2HWg[/IMG]

https://ibb.co/C0M2HWg

In the context of the 12-pin Hybrid Plug, my approach, thereafter, was the following:

Solder all the GND pins together to a black wire. ( GND pins: 5, 9, 12 ). [In hindsight, should have included GND pin 10, too.]

Solder all the 5V pins together to a red wire ( 5V pins: 8, 6, 4 ).

Test for short / continuity between wires.

Inject hot glue between plug contacts for structural stability.

Power plug with 5V .5A from a bench top power supply.

Cross my fingers on left hand.

Plug in makeshift charger connector into Nook Color.

The result: A Nook Color with a fried LCD display driver. The screen is black and will remain black. Glorious.

My mistake (probably) in the following images was that I didn't solder the LED control GND pin (pin #10 on the 12-pin plug). My reasoning for this was that since I didn't need the green LED for charge notification, I can leave that GND as is because I could check the battery status on the Nook Color itself.

Big Mistake.

Sketchy Soldering That Passed Continuity Check

Anyways~~ That's it for me on this project! :D I hope this helps out some other soul working on B&N's "proprietary" tablet connectors.

[TL;DR] Did not solder all GND pins and consequently damaged the LCD display driver such that the Nook is now unusable.

P.S. Sorry if the images are broken. No idea why...

So bestbuy price matches right? Well radio shack has the S3 for $149.00 online as part of a extra $50 off any new phone. So as long as that offer is good for retail stores(dont see online only anyware so I assume so) Anyone who bought from bestbuy is entitled to $50 back from their 30 day price match guarantee.

If you want to see just goto Radioshacks site it's on the main page and if you click into a S3 it will say $149.99

Edit: I can now confirm personally that it works... 2 phones $175 back on price match #winning!

BestBuy in Westbury NY just issued me my refund. As i walked in I saw the MGR of the mobile department on the phone with a customers phone. He gave it back to them and customer walked out. I asked him about the radio shack promo and he said he was just on the phone with the radio shack down the block and that the promo was only for new subscribers. After i showed him the print out from the net that clearly states new line/contract or contract extention, he went on the web himself, verified and issued my refund of $54.32.

If you were that guy in the hat and a cast on your hand that left BB in Westbury, go back and claim your refund.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Just walked out of best buy with the Pt (Seidio) Surface case and I really like it! I'll post a review in a couple days but I can already tell this is going to become my daily case from here on out (at least until my Incipio Silicrylic comes in a few days lol). I really like the way they did the power and volume buttons, makes them really easy to press. Plus, it came with a really nice holster. $35 + tax. Man I really need to stop buying cases.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] methodz:
I had that case too in white. I found the front part of the case covered too much of the sides of the screen taking away from the nice design of the phone. It also felt a little waxy to me. Other then that it did provide good protection and it was one of the few all white cases out.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
LOL how long before this one gets added to a giveaway? :D

Hahha I just did the exact same thing. Replaced diztronic with seidio surface (blue). Comes tomorrow.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Link?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] borets.boris:
I think I have the same one (black/grey color). I actually like the waxy feel of it. To me, it's similar to the feel of the phone's matte texture on the back, so it almost feels like there is no case on it. It's thin and light, but still sinks in the camera a little. The easy-pressing-ness of the buttons is also a huge plus. I really like it!

There is a video review for the case on HTC Pedia, if you want to check it out:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Well that's good to hear. Methinks it makes the phone look like a gadget batman would carry. ( in a good way )
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
Is this the same case sold online by seidio?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] techlogik:
Appears a bit thick that case. Assume it offers good protection though.

The only issue I have with my Diztronic is that there is no back camera/raised section to protect the lens and flash. You set it down, the camera is right on the surface, stupid design that is an easy fix they chose not to do.

I ordered a Nillsen off ebay and am going to give that one a try, it is basically the same TPU with protection for the camera/flash and some rough edges to grip.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aimetti:
Got mine today. Extremely impressed with it , and that's coming from someone who goes through tons of cases.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mikelebz:
I don't think anything can ever take me away from the nillkin TPU case. I am so impressed with it. I love the matte backside and how it does not leave fingerprints, the grips on the side and most importantly the camera protection. this case does not leave ANY gap around the camera and has a nice sloped lip around the camera lense. The best camera protection that I have seen on any case I've ever owned.

All of this from a slim, sleek TPU case!

I do not work for this company, just sharing how incredibly impressed with this case. Check it out!

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...sacat=0&_odkw=nillkin+htc+one+x+tpu&_osacat=0

My only gripe with this case, which isn't a big one is that it covers the bottom row of the speaker holes :-/ May just be my case though
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Looks nice. Gonna have to order one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mikelebz:

could one of you guys post a review for the nillkin case? that looks really tempting. thin, and covers camera it seems. thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] techlogik:
Thanks for that. Waiting for mine to show up.

My Diztronic is OK, but the lack of back camera lens/flash protection has me a bit bothered and I'm setting it down on soft surfaces, or angled upward so it won't touch to protect it.

The Nillsen definitely looked nearly the same but with protection and the grip. Looking forward to mine arriving also.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Welp, that was short lived. Just got my Incipio Silicrylic case in and I think I'm going to return the Pt Surface case back to Best Buy. This Silicrylic case is awesome. Looks like my Otterbox Commuter is going to find its way to one of my giveaways.

Hello XDA community !

LAst week I bought my Acer A700, but after a few days a dead pixel appeared...

So I was on my way to send back my toy, when I saw that CMWR was available.

"Nice ! I can do a factory reset so my toy will be clean to be sent back !"

But the factory reset didn't work... It was stuck at "Formatting /data" for a while...

So I rebooted the A700, and now it's stuck at the ACER logo... I only have access to recovery...

Any ideas ?

Thanks a lot :good:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Itchiee:
Since you have recovery try and do data wipe, then wipe cache then davlik cache, then reboot.

If you have recovery you can install a ROM by renaming it update.zip and using CWM.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Touns:
I already tried this, when I want to install a update.zip, it stucks at "installing update".

When I want to wipe a partition, it stucks at "formating /xxx" and nothing happens...

I wanted to flash stock bootloader with Nvflash, but I can't find APX drivers for ACER A700 :eek:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Can you install the update.zip without the use of CWM (By pressing the powerbutton with the vol down)?

Also, where is your update.zip located?

Edit:

I guess it could do no harm if you'd hook up your device to the PC and enter the following commands:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Touns:
_ update.zip putted on a extrenal SD card doesn't work, it's skipped and CWM is launched.

_ the "adb reboot bootloader" puts the A700 in "APX" mode... and the "fastboot erase cache" is stuck at "waiting for device"...

Thanks for trying to help !!! :o
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
May this be a relevant solution??

http://androidforums.com/esteem-all...w-get-out-clockworkmod-recovery-bootloop.html

Edit:

I don't think the device checks for update.zip on the sdcard. Maybe there is a way to move the file to the internal. (adb mount sdcard adb push /sdcard/update.zip update.zip ?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Yeah,

The current CWM seems to corrupt the Data partition (amongst other things). Seems to be a going thing lately. Remember, these are new tabs, and new root & recovery methods, so there are going to be some bricked tabs before things get sorted out. This happens in "ALL" development, and everybody knows the risks involved.

I had the same issue. Couldn't reboot into fastboot, as it seems the OS has to be running?

This is why Skirlax_CZ built the bootloader for the 500/501, so you could boot it into fastboot mode, bypassing the OS. Unfortunately, the stock 70x OEM bootloader doesn't seem to allow this.

Best bet if you can't find the "exact" version rom the tab was shipped with, is to try renaming some full roms to update.zip, copy to sd, reboot (vol + and PWR, and see if it will install and boot. At the worst, it will install a stock bootloader and recovery.

Also, holding PWR, Vol - (I believe) and toggling the rotation lock should wipe User Data.

At the very worse, turn it into Acer Service, suck it up and pay the repair bill. ;)

They will just install the correct service rom and give it back to you.
