From your description it sounds as though you may be trying to edit the settings.db file right in place on your phone, which could cause a reboot/freeze. You have to make sure to copy the settings file over to your SD card, use aSQLitemanager to edit that copied file, not the original one, and then copy the modified file back to the original location, over-writing the unmodified one.

Also, make sure that line 113 does in fact say what it's supposed to, namely "entitlement_check". Sometimes this property can appear on different lines depending on the rom/firmware in use, as can the others starting with "dun". So be sure to change the right property settings.

I have the Lapdock 500 as well with the the MB865 (AT&T unlocked running on Rogers in Canada) and use it all the time without issue after having made these changes. I wouldn't bother with renaming the entitlementcheck.apk as this only half helps, allowing you to activate webtop when connected but still not providing mobile data in this mode. Doing all three of those edits to the settings.db file and then rebooting, should fix everything.
[Motorola Atrix 2] uboat55:
thanks for answer, - i rename entitlementservice.apk to entitlementservice.bak and entitlementservice.odex to .odexbak (as mad try change to .bak but it deny and i think lost that method also, but huh :silly: its just cause have already .bak in same directory. :D ) direct on same directory by giving root access to file manager then reboot and check mobile connection, it works. will check again for that but seems it already works without any entitlement checking.

I do strongly as posted, put file to sd card and make changes, line 113 was entitlement_check with value 1. after change i overwrite it to system directory but. finally must reset for get back phone to life, mmaybe i do something wrong. i do it after reset also

There is one strange what i catch is a weight of settings.db first was a 15kb but after fall and freeze then reset it was a 14kb.
[Motorola Atrix 2] paleozord:
In the Settings.db file, check that line 70 "usb_entitlement_check" is also set to 0 rather than 1.

I believe that in the stock ICS ROM this is how it is already set by default which is why I didn't include it in my main instruction set above in the first post. Nope I'm wrong.. just checked and on stock MB865 ROM it is set to 1, and should be changed to zero as well. I will edit my first post to include this extra step as a result.

uboat55, please let me know if this helps, although none of these changes should be causing crash/freezes in your device upon reboot, so there may still be something else going on.
[Motorola Atrix 2] uboat55:
may you excuse me cause i afraid for again freeze, its very hard to recover programms and other style which i use, i could hardly recover much of it, and it took much time for place icons programs, paswords etc. very hard.. i`m novice in that and dont know how easy recover all after reset. must learn that. But i check again mobile connection and can confirm that no any entitlement check found and lapdock works in webtop mode (not changed to mirror mode), seems renaming files succesful for that
[Motorola Atrix 2] johnmbailey:
In case you need another example of why CWM & Backup is useful....

Well, I followed the instructions, and saved the DB file back in the original location, and when I reboot the phone is is stuck at the 'Rethink Possible' screen. The phone is rooted (SU prompted me for changes) but is running the stock rom. Stupidly, I did not install CWM or make a backup, so how can I install a new rom or CWM or ?? to get things going again? I can go into the standard recovery / fastboot options menu.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Since you don't have a custom recovery installed, you'll have to flash the FXZ for your phone via RSD lite. Make extra sure that you have the correct FXZ because flashing the wrong one has a high probability of bricking your phone.

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
[Motorola Atrix 2] johnmbailey:
I downloaded the FXZ, and it is going again

The computer would not recognize the phone using RSD, so I used the script found in another post on the site. Thanks for the input.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SifJar:
Cranium supports init.d scripts, but apparently some people have had it not work with stock ROM. Personally it's working fine for me (using rel #2, #3 has a bug).

EDIT: Fairly sure Titanium support them as well. Don't know if it works well with stock ROM or not.

Method to get init.d support on stock rom

I thoroughly searching on many websites i found a way to do it :D:D

I found a tutorial here

SOME EXTRA INSTRUCTIONS:

I tried out the method myself on a pre-rooted stock rom. The tutorial mentioned above provides a .zip file that you can flash via CWM. I was successful in getting the test init.d script to run without creating install-recovery.sh, which the tutorial asks you to create.

:good::good:

Hit thanks if i helped ;)

Whats the role of busy box here?

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sabaatworld:
Use this method. Its much better and works. I have tested it
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] xedi95:
@sabaatworld: Dude that method seemed to work for you but i have tried ur method (by not making that file) and the original one as well but both failed for me. Even tried to flash the .zip file in twrp as well but it did not work so can u tell me which stock rom are u using?? i mean is it the indian one or some else. help would be appreciated...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Did you leave an extra empty line

And did you give it full 777 permissions to install-recovery.sh?

"If it's not now, then it's when"?

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] xedi95:
The permission are the same as given by the iridaki in the tutorial. aren't they?? and about that extra empty line, do i need to simply press the enter key to go down and leave that line empty or do i have to press the space key to leave that line??
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Press enter twice.

Just give it full permissions anyway.

Did you get "done" in /data /local /tmp ?

I was a daily user of the Nexus S forums. until i bought a nexus 7 recently and visited nexus 7 forums, i didn't realise there is 2 different sub-forums for development. Can someone explain the differences between the two? thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] KidCarter93:
If I remember correctly, the only difference is that things in Original Development have been built from scratch.

Whereas in Android Development they've started the build of a base of something else.

''Evil corrupts the mind of the weak but fails to feed off the mind of the strong''
[General Questions and Answers] Billchen0014:
That's what i thought too, but then i found roms that are in both sections (eg. CNA), and i got confused, why don't we just have one dev section rather than two? it only make things more confusing and harder to find.
[General Questions and Answers] KidCarter93:
I've seen other cases of the same ROM posted in both and I just think "WTF!?!".

I'm not sure on the reasons behind the addition of Original Development, but people must've asked for a split so they got it. I very much doubt they'd change it back now though. Not unless it was for a very very good reason.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmtmaats:
can anyone who owns the razr m confirm if the sixaxis controller is compatible?

all you really need to do is run the free compatibility checker.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...kaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb21wYXRpYmlsaXR5Y2hlY2tlciJd

and simply just fyi for some people,

the sixaxis controller app lets you pair a ps3 controller to your android phone via bluetooth to play certain games, like gta 3, dead space, and more.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adman130:
As far as I know you can't root the razr m, there aren't roms for it. this app requires a rooted device, thus, to my knowledge, you can't run the app or use sixaxis controllers.

What is a bugger is that without GPS it won't install a lot of apps from the Google Play Store.

Port our device to some nice third party firmware! I'd love to see CM10 running on our Arc. (I work for Kobo :3)

I do know our programmers are working on a 4.1 update sometime in January though. And yes, installing a launcher to disable tapestries and the discover bar really does make it a beautiful tablet. I personally use ADW launcher on all of my Android devices though. Looks great and it's quite fast.

I think that Tapestries looks aesthetically pleasing. Why doesn't anyone who has an Arc like it?

The problem with Taperstries is not the look, it does look quite nice, but it shows all kinds of stuff that does not seem to relate to you taste and even if you tell it that you are not interested, it keeps showing it again...

[Android General] :
Okay. The reason I ask is because a lot of times we'll roll out updates to devices in some markets first to test the waters. Usually customers who purchase their devices at Best Buy in Canada are the first to get the new updates to firmware.

We looked at it and couldn't see anything different when we updated one of our office devices except the kernel. The Android version itself stayed the same (this wasn't the JB update I was expecting) but the kernel got a minor update. The Kobo app itself built into the Arc also had a few minor bug fixes. I'm personally glad it's not JB if they're not ready. I'd rather them push out the update once they know it's not going to cause any issues. Right before launch we had an update that was causing some models to freeze constantly. They got that fixed just in time back in November. :P
[Android General] stevov:
So what your saying Is, you work for kobo and you don't know what was in the update. What chance have the rest of us got :D

Sorry guys. :P In their defense, I work at a call centre for their customer care so that would explain the lack of communication. I wish I had access to their developers to pick their brains! I'll keep you guys posted if I find anything.

Just got this tablet, and it's pretty neat has alot of potential omap 4470 @ 1.5 Ghz. Integrated RGB led on top, would be great to put Cyanogenmod on this to take advantage of the hardware. Seems to have the GPS and Bluetooth modules disabled, not sure if there are antenna for them.

I'm currently on 4.0.4, I did discover you can put the device in flash mode into a platform target for OMAP Flash directly. The drivers can be found on the Omap Flash recovery for Tuna "Galaxy Nexus" I recall it can flash directly primary and secondary bootloader. So someone more could modify the dump of the bootloader and modify it to pre-rooted/insecure.

Also where is the source code for this device? I do not see it listed in their git,

I have the arc too, and I'm hoping to get root so I can finally access the System files. Anyway, here's an idea for all of you great devs. I don't think that the Kobo's firmware is too different from the Nexus 7's, so maybe a little burrowing around there can help.

As one person posted on here that there not sure whether it has a Bluetooth antenna, but just disabled if there is I really want to know it's a pain not having Bluetooth and if it is possible to get OTG for the Arc do Bluetooth adapters work through OTG?.

I have been using Kobo Arc reader and i wanted to brightness on low (on reader option, not on android settings) and i put on minimum wich turns screen completly black that you cant see and use for anything. Anytime i open reader, its turn black. Anybody has solution for this? Regards
[Android General] dazza9075:
which arc do you have? if your talking about "reading mode" then your talking about the Arc 7 7HD or 10HD?

if so then within the book you can tell it to use system brightness or not if you untick that and select any setting that suites that will display until you go back to your homepage or another app it will revert to system settings, if you have activated reading mode and set it to auto, change the settings found in the system settings menu to your preferences and again it will automatically switch between system and reading mode brightness depending if your reading a book or not.
[Android General] Goku7:
Aha...

Thanks a milion for answer,

I dont have tablet here with me, so i could try, ill try tonight, but what happend is that i went to read a book, and it was like reading mode and on the right corner there was three dots. Pressing it, it shosws me setting option. There is brightness slider, wich i slide to the left completly. Once i done it, it was completely black, like off. And i cant do anything, just to head off to put on standby mode, to come back, and to press home page button. Again, if i go to read a book it will appear black screen again, so i am not able to do anything on the settings there....

And yes, that this Kobo Arc 7HD...

Thanks a lot,
