what did u select in CWM ext3 or ext4 ???
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] RayQ1223:
It did not ask me to select anything. It just say 100+mb 200+mb and others. And i already selected ext4 and i linked all the apps i want but it still doesn't free space at the internal memory. Is this how im suppos to move the apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
and what you selected you should have selected atleast 1gb ext4 space
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] RayQ1223:
I selected 100mb cause my sdcard space is only 2gb

And i say this sdext2 file in my data/

So should i choose ext2 on link2sd?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
you should buy a bigger sdcard 100 MB space is like nothing even the internal memory is around 178 MB

and it should not be sd-ext 2 it should be 3 or 4

If you do, what rom are you using?

If anyone know why does it happen it could stisfy me.

i just can't see why browser would work and chrome doesn't...

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inspiredwire:
Chrome on the Atrix doesn't work because it requires hardware acceleration. We are still waiting on the proper drivers from Moto/Nvidia.

well, yeah i know about lack of drivers.

my intenttion was: why other browsers like stock do work ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiy0shix24:
It's because chrome requires true hardware acceleration to work. None of the other browsers function that way. Right now the 4.0+ roms have hacked hardware acceleration that lets the phone work, but it doesn't perform the way it really should due to the lack of drivers.

Have been a Streak users since Aug 2010. Currently using DSC 1.1 ROM. Device was working fine until my commute home Monday. I swapped charging sources from the Dell-supplied car charger to an aftermarket one(have done it several time to charge my work BB), and I got a "charger invalid" error. The phone shut off and has stayed the way since despite repeated attempts to power it on. Here's what I've tried:

Removing:

SD Card

SIM

Battery

I've left it on USB power and regular AC overnight in various states of "removal".

I've even installed the new sync software on my laptop to see if that would work.

I've been completely unsuccessful so far. Can't even get into fastboot mode.

Hi all.

I updated my phone to the official ROM ICS 4.0.3 from sony ericsson update service say about a week ago and i would like to upgrade to [ROM][ARC/S]Xperia Ice Bean from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1786871 however i need abit of help as i never done this before...

All i need to know is

1) dos the phone need to unlocked?

2) what files do i need and what version did you get it? as it needs the following...

Flash Kernel for ICS ROMS (e.x. arcknight)

Boot to CWM

thats all really

:good:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zilian28:
Hi!

You don´t need to unlock your bootloader cause this Rom works with stock kernel. But you´ll need to root your phone and install CWM.

Oficial 4.0.3 is rootable, so you won´t have problems to root at all. It´s pretty easy and fast.

CWM you can install using the play store: search for cwm for xperia

then, download 4.2 or 4.2n Icebean Rom and be happy.

Best regards!

Im using stock kernel of ICS 4.0.4, rooted my phone by doomlord. I believe, the Ice Bean really require the ArcKnight kernel. Any idea why i got stucked? Can you advise???
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zilian28:
Hi!

Did you solve your problem? 'I guess you did...'

I have heard of some users with 4.0.4 kernel having problems...

Honestly, I don´t know if the problem is related only to this stock kernel, but if you use 4.0.3 kernel or the new one released (587) you won´t have problems at all.

Another thing that SOMETIMES happens is to get stuck on SONY logo, but if you remove the battery of the phone, put it again and turn the phone on, then it works...

Wish u have solved before my post, but if u didn´t, try what I just wrote.

Guys, I had quite bad experience rooting my glowlight nook with touchnooter . Basically messed smth up so it couldn't start (just kept flashing). didn't save my back up. had to do unrooting with the software 1.1 that I guess was from nook without glowlight. Unrooting went fine, but the glowlight function is not working anymore. does anyone know how to solve this or could give me a link to download the proper software? thanks!
[Nook Touch General] Zorkman:
you should read the instructions better next time...

but making errors is human and you have a cool nick

I'll hopefully receive my glow in two weeks and I'll upload my backup then
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
You should make an effort to salvage your personalized data in /rom.

There is all the info in the p2 partition (/rom).

There is also a backup copy in the p3 partition (/factory) as rombackup.zip

You might do this with noogie or CWR and ADB.

Nook Glow Backup Image

I have a backup image of a NSTG that I am uploading right now ... and looks like it just finished. Here it is:

dl[dot]dropbox[dot]com/u/98836278/nook-glow-backup.img

When you have the image downloaded follow these instructions:

blog[dot]the-ebook-reader[dot]com/2012/05/02/how-to-backup-and-restore-nook-glow-and-nook-simple-touch/

As a new user I am not allowed to post outside links.
[Nook Touch General] srgarfi:
Downloading, thank you so much!!!

I'll post again with the results...
[Nook Touch General] srgarfi:
YES, YES, YES, YES !!!!!!

leadbella thank you a million times!!

I downloaded the image, and wrote it ot my nook.

By the end of the operation, which took some 9 minutes or so, the process ended abruptly:

error 27 writing to disk at sector 3825664

I opted to ignore it and reboot the nook, just to see what happened. The nook booted alright.

I then booted in CWR and replaced /rom with the contents of my own nook /rom which I had salvaged.

I then booted again, and performed all the process flawlessly.

So far I have registered the device again (no error here since /rom contains my sensitive data. Don't know if it would work if the data was from the original image, since MAC address, device SN and some other parameters would not match), loaded a couple of books and started reading again.

Just in time for another one week shift (leaving tomorrow)

Leadbella you saved my..... nook =)

Thank you, I owe you one.
[Nook Touch General] leadbella:
No problem at all. Looks like it worked for srgarfi ... dukenookem please let me know when you have finished downloading the image. I need to use my dropbox for other things at some point, but I can keep it in there until you finish downloading the image. If the image link above no longer works and anyone needs a copy of this image feel free to send me a message and I will try to post it back up.

The image is from a just out of the box NSTG with no information and nothing added to it.
[Nook Touch General] dukenookem:
Thanks Leadbella. Downloaded the backup. Tried to follow the instructions, but the size of you file is almost 2 gb, too large for my microSD. Didn't expect the backup file to be that large. gonna go look for a larger sd card.
[Nook Touch General] dukenookem:
That totally didn't make any sence to me. Sorry for my ignorance. Are there any instructions to follow? thanks.
[Nook Touch General] Zaotr0pe:
Could not register

Hey leadbella, thanks for uploading the backup image. I downloaded and worte it to my nook STG. However, I couldnt get pass the setup process. Everytime I reach the log in menu, it will have the error logging in msg. Do you know what might be wrong?
[Nook Touch General] srgarfi:
You should have saved your /rom files before ovewritting your nook with leadbella's image.

And I'm afraid there not anything you can do to recover your unique /rom files for your nook now.
[Nook Touch General] roustabout:
Oh, I was concerned that Leadbella had posted an unedited backup...

so, what is going on?

first: if a post about partitions isn't comprehensible to you yet -- you probably shouldn't root your device until you do enough reading that you understand it a bit.

Putting leadbella's file onto an SD card probably won't work as a way to restore; when I recover from an image, I use a usb cable and write from my computer to my device.

Leadbella seems to have taken a complete backup image from the device - this will include the important /boot and /system partitions (which is good) but will also include the /rom partition, which unfortunately is unique to every device.

So, if you restore from that image and don't have access to your own /rom partition or recovery image, you're going to wind up attempting to register a second copy of Leadbella's Nook to your account. Fortunately for Leadbella, that won't work.

Now, what can you do to repair and get a corrected nook which can be registered?

I'm going to try an experiment - I'm going to start by backing my device up in its current state.

(I do this by making a Noogie disk

Booting from Noogie

Connecting to my computer

using the command dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/currentnookglow.img bs=1M

where X is the number of the device that pops up when I connect my NSTG to the USB port.)

That requires linux; if you don't have linux, you can install VMWare Player (Free) and then install linux in that.)

What I'm going to try doing:

- back my system up

- image with Bella's file

- delete the file /rom/devconf/MACAddress from the imaged device

- reboot the device

- see if I can now see the real, physical MAC address, either on the device (unlikely) or on my router (likelier)

If I can see the MAC address, recreate the file with the correct values for Mac and also create a correct file for serial number /rom/devconf/SerialNumber

Boot, and see if the device is registerable to my account.

BUT: right now, BN has blown out the Nook Touch register/deregister/register process. So I can't do the test until they fix that.

And if it does work, anyone trying it will need

- the noogie disk

- linux

For windows users, maybe, but I have not tried:

- a clockwork boot disk

- functioning ADB able to connect to your clockwork-booted device

(Some clockwork boots support ADB; some do not.)
[Nook Touch General] srgarfi:
as roustabout explains, you can write Leadbella's image to your nook (if in windows use win32diskimager or diskimage) and then take a look at the contents of /rom.

The fix the contents of macaddress and serialnumber, but only if you plan to use the nook with B&N services fix the rest of the necessary files.

If you just plan to use your nook as a standalone reader (yes, why not?) once registered you can just ignore the contents of /rom (at least until the next software update).
[Nook Touch General] muness:
These links are both no longer available. Can someone post them to a mirror?
[Nook Touch General] tragram:
I'd really appreciate reup as well, since my backup is not working and I need to restore my NSTG. :)
[Nook Touch General] srgarfi:
before restoring from someone else's img, remember to salvage your own /rom partition since these files are unique to each device and you'll need them to register your nook prior to starting reading.

That said I can upload that IMG, but what's the best choice to do so? Any of the many filesharing services? Dropbox ? Google Drive?
[Nook Touch General] shank21101985:

Thank your very much I am excited to try this out.

Hi can you please upload the image of nook simple touch as i need it to restore my nook..
[Nook Touch General] srgarfi:
When dropbox alerted of the heavy traffic and disabled the link I deleted the img unaware that it was the only copy I had. So I no longer have Leadbellas' Glowlight backup image. Sorry.

Perhaps the ones that had the chance to download the img would like to share it?
[Nook Touch General] gates.dr:
So, if I understand well, only Leadbellas have nook with ability to make image???

I even don't need B&N account. My wish was nook with multitouch ability and good pdf reader, but the rooted nook haven't it and I couldn't get it back with my image (77MB). That is all.
[Nook Touch General] troelsfr:
I wrote a tutorial on how to recover your semibricked nook if your problem is that you have downgraded your software: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1997647 - maybe you will find it useful.
[Nook Touch General] gates.dr:
Thank you for your advice, but I try it before without success. After rebooting I still have "install failed" on it. My nook still need image from someone but nobody wish to share it.
[Nook Touch General] roustabout:
yes, no one wants to upload a copy of a file that includes identifiers unque to their BN account and device.

I have a disk image of just the first partition - the boot environment - on a US-distributed nook glow. I know that adb'ing into a nook glow and doing this:

dd if=part1.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 bs=1M

will result in a nook glow that is bootable, has a viable partition table, and has a functioning glowlight. You will also wind up with the overclock kernel installed and ADB enabled.

I'm prepared to share that image (which does not have the unique identifiers in it.)

The file is available for download here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?psb2n2y32mtmb7q

Unzip the file, and copy the .img file inside to your Nook.

I would ONLY use this on a US-shipped nook. The overseas shipped nooks are different beasts and this will replace your entire /boot environment with a new one.
[Nook Touch General] troelsfr:
The tutorial I wrote, is only a tutorial on how to get the OS back to stock version. When you boot up noogie.img, which partitions do you have access to (if any)?
[Nook Touch General] gates.dr:
I have 77Mb image identically one Roustabout share. Only diference is in uImage so I don't have ADB enable. I can see a boot partition only and I think that a partition wizard tool mess me a partition table. I think that my situation is very like Srgarfi have. After all, he solved his problem only with disk image Leadbellas shared. I can repeat only that I don't need B&N account in any way.
[Nook Touch General] troelsfr:
Do you have a backup of your rom, i.e. rombackup.zip? Note, that this is important since you will not be able use B&N if you do not restore your original rom.

Best,

Troels
[Nook Touch General] gates.dr:
I wrote I didn't need B&N account but I intend to follow way Srgarfi passed to save my rom (or maybe someone will write some manual how to recovery bricked nook with glowlight ). I hope I will bring rom partition up. I haven't still time enough to do this and I have trouble with adb connecting (on two win xp and two win7 comp).
[Nook Touch General] troelsfr:
You will need to recover your own rom, otherwise you might block whoever helps you from the B&N shop - while you don't care about access to shop they probably will. If you just apply someelses image to your Nook your rom will be gone for good. Try out following instructions to recover your rom (I think these are also the instructions you refer too?): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1805936
[Nook Touch General] gates.dr:
Hi,

I've tried everything found in all posts but I couldn't have adb connected jet. At your one off your tread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34453016#post34453016, I found that you think it could be possible recover nook with someone image and serial number.

I have serial number (original package) and I have my nook MAC address (written in my router). But, as you know, I haven't image. What's next?
[Nook Touch General] troelsfr:
Let me underline that I ___think___ it is possible - that is to be understood as there is a slight chance that this actually might work, but you will be running a big risk and once you have tried your Nook will be even harder to recover than it is now. From what I understand you have "only" deleted the partition table, but not actually overwritten your SD card - that is, you may still have a change of saving your rom. Let me stress again: To try this approach you need to be desperate and acknowledge the fact that your Nook probably never is going to work again.

If this did not scare you off, you probably are pretty desperate in which case I can provide you with an image of my nook with an empty rom partition and without recovery zip files. I will not have the time to make the image tonight since I have quite a few things I need to do. I have had a look at the rom partition and it just contains some random text strings - among others your mac address and your serial number. However, chances are that some of these numbers are checksums for the others. In fact, this is very likely since you do not want it to be easy to change the serial number of a device. Thus, what one could do is first to try just to change these numbers to see if the device still works after that. If not, one would have to figure what is checksum for what and how it is all connected - this is probably not an easy task.

Again, I would strongly encourage you to put an outmost effort into recovering your rom before choosing this route. That being said I am willing to help you as much as I can, but please keep in mind that I am a n00b who less than 10 days ago broke my own Nook (even if it is recovered now), I have no idea what I am taking about and I take absolutely no responsibility for any additional damage your Nook might suffer from my help.

Out of curiosity, could you summarise what you did to get ADB to work?
