For some reason I had a system update this morning. So I download it and my phone booted into cwm. How do I install the update from there? I seen apply update from SD and emmc. But it didn't work do I need the stock recovery to install? Anyone have a zip

The main reason for this project was to use my Nook Color as a high fidelity music player in my car ('95 Honda Accord).

The Nook is capable of USB Hosting with the following setup:

ParanoidAndroid-1.6 (CM9) (USB Host support only works with 2.6.32 kernel at this moment)

USB Host Support & Development

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459892

With this ability, an external USB DAC can be used to achieve high fidelity audio (bit-perfect?).

My modest setup:

Nook Color -> OTG USB cable -> USB hub (powered or un-powered) -> External USB DAC (Calyx Audio - Coffee)

-> Preamp (Clarion EQS746) -> Amp (Pioneer GM-6500F) -> Speakers (Front: Boston Acoustics RC41; Rear: NX67)

The objective of the mount design was to secure the Nook under moderate driving conditions and be easily removable.

The materials that were used to put the mount together are: vinyl laminates, super glue, silicon sealant, and neodymium magnets.

Thank you to all the xda developers that made this possible!
[Nook Color General] tomg09:
Heck, I'll be the first to say it...that's pretty outstanding.

Does this require a connection to the internet (via a tethered smartphone or something similar)?

I might be interested in doing something like this...if only the NC had GPS built in :(...I suppose BT is always an option to pull in GPS data

EDIT: For clarity and RTFOP
[Nook Color General] Kiroo:
This setup does not require internet access. It can access the internet by tethering with my phone. At this point, I'm using it mostly for lossless audio (FLAC) playback from a microSD card. Most of my compressed audio files are in the cloud with Google Play Music.

About GPS, I have a bluetooth GPS receiver (Holux GPSlim240). I tested it and it works, but the signal range from the Nook is too short (inches). It's not practical to use.
[Nook Color General] mateorod:
OMG.

That is by far the best car mount project I have seen. What a great way to extend the life of the machine.

I was able to extend the range of the bluetooth with a dongle, but I suppose your USB is already working overtime. Amazing. Newsworthy button pressed.

Hi. Yesterday an official jelly bean version released in my country. First i tried by ota 1-2 times, it says there is a queue. And then i updated my phone via Samsung Kies. My phone works fine, and it is very fast. I didnt notice any problem.

However when i restart my phone or turning on. Firstly it says" Currently unable to download, please try again later" 1-2 times on startup. Then it disappears. Why its alerting me like this. How can i fix this??

Flashing at flashtool
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LilBlinx:
Wrond forum, it should be in Q&A. If you can enter flash mode flash with flash tool (find fw around this forum). Try changing the kernel to stock with adb command (not that tool you are using) fastboot flash boot (name of the kernel). Charge it for an hour and see what happens. Post the flash tool log here.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tbschommer:
Flash the boot.img from the CM9.1 zip file (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Then reboot into recovery by holding the power and vol+ buttons until the phone vibrates 3 times, then boot (power button) and press vol+ when the button lights come on.

Then follow the instructions given before by DavidMKD.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] copper62472:
when i cant go to flashmode or fast boot , how can i flash kernel or boot.img or another file?

is there any way?

i connected charger red led in on but doesnt charge.( not gone hot)

no change at all.

sorry my bad english
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dimon2242:
For flashtool need flashmode (not fastboot)!

flashmode doesnt work too :crying:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dimon2242:
Exactly flashtool already is started and flashmode drivers is installed?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blaazeer:
as far as i know, if the phone turn on any led, is still alive, try using flashtool and the original .tft, go for it in the P Development Section, download the 6.1.B.0.544 (Generic Version) and try to flash it, it might work, but you need to know this, if you flash it, you can void the warranty of the operator and if you unlocked the bootloader sony can't repair it (warranty void too) (i remember this was in the ToS of the bootloader unlock web)

Good luck.

(Sorry for my bad english.)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] copper62472:
of course the driver is installed .

problem isnt from my PC just on phone.

and isnt any way to go flashmode and fasboot.

please dont tell me again to flash anything.

i cant flash anyway.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] copper62472:
thanks

:o then its alive.

maybe run out of battery .

but i cant remove it.( of course you know)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blaazeer:
do this, plug in the charger and let it charge (about 3 hours) and try to turn it on, if its a kernel problem, at least the phone try to boot up or turn on the backlight and get freezed, it's a OS/Kernel problem, but the question is, did you flash the correct kernel on it? remember the codename for xperia p is NYPON, inside the flashtool folders are the fastboot.exe, try to flashing a advanced kernel (the one made by DoomLoRD) and check for the phone, if it boot up until the xperia logo, everything is ok.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] copper62472:
oh no. i downloaded wrong file. and flashed (flashed only boot.img).

i used hikary :(

what can i do know?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] copper62472:
i tried to charge it about 30 min .

but my phone is cold yet. ( when i charging it should be warm.)

also its led just when i plug usb gone on.

i think itnt charging:(

how can i remove battery from my phone?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blaazeer:
First, don't panic.

i made the same mistake when i flashed the first kernel, i think i messed up everything and... i recovered my phone xD

flash this kernel and hope the best, the instructions are in the post.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dhireshmehta:
first of all dont worry just know that when u press all the three buttons at the same time it reboots and when u still keep them pressed it shuts off completely

i have an xperia p and had the same problem

what u have to do is rlly simple

first unzip the kernel (boot.img) from the fxp144_cm9.1 zip file

now copy this file into the folder in android sdk/tools or platform-tools (basically any folder with the fastboot.exe )

hope u have installed fastboot drivers

now switch off ur fone completely

and then connect ur fone in fastboot mode by pressing the vol up key and connecting the usb

(hope it goes into fastboot mode)

run this command in cmd in the folder containing the fastboot.exe

fastboot flash boot boot.img

this flashes the kernel

using falshtools u can either flash the zip file or u can do it through recovery if its alread in ur sd card

do it twice bcoz the firs time it flashes the kernel

if none works switch of ur fone completely, press the vol down button and connect the usb

this puts the phone in flash mode and u can flash ftf files of stock roms

all the best

P.S all this will work if u have an unlocked bootloader by the method giiven on sony's official site
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] copper62472:
i thing my phone is discharged. cant turn it on.

and cant charge too
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blaazeer:
keep the phone charging, the led doen't matter as far as i know.

last option is going to a sony service or something like that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] harman_preet72:
i think you should try to remove battery first. i used this method to recover my p. i opened the back cover and removed the battery for a few minutes and then did nothing but connected it in fastboot and flashed the correct kernel.

to remove back cover you have to remove two screws at the both sides and two under the bar over the camera. just remove the top plastic cover and you will be able to access the screws. then just remove the battery connector for a few minutes reconnect it and try flashing kernel again. i wish it also work for you bro. good luck. :good:

FORMAT /SYSTEM

FORMAT /CACHE

FORMAT /DATA

install zip from sd card

select rom

I've flashed a few custom ROMs + Kernels on my Nexus 7, but I always return to stock. I find stock JB to just be rock-solid, with great battery life.

I've found that most custom ROMs have some tiny issues, and they always bug me. Same with custom kernels. There's always an occasional crash here or there, or some unexpected jerkiness.

But I guess it's always a compromise. If you want features/performance, you'll have to live with bugs/lower battery life. But, being a Nexus, we'll get newer, feature-filled versions of Android right away!

So what about you guys? Do you feel that custom ROMs/kernels are lacking that perfection and finesse the stock ROM has? Or is your custom ROM completely stable with absolutely no bugs?
[Nexus 7 General] Warrior1975:
I love the custom ROMS. No complaints from me. I prefer some version of CM...usually AOKP. They are always upgrading it, so there are some small problems with it at times but I really enjoy it too much to complain or go back to stock. Don't get me wrong stock is very smooth with few problems.

I so agree with the above.. Also your opinion is welcome but due note that these developers are doing this as a community effort for FREE.. They improve our devices give us some things Google decided to leave out. Also im not sure you are aware of this or not . But often you will see some of the So called custom rom stuff injected into future GOOGLE STOCK ROMS... Google does watch the development community and use there code from time to time . My guess is alot more then they would tell...

I agree with the OP on ROMS, I haven't found one "better" than stock yet. Different yes, more/other customizations, yes. But so far not better. Yes, the devs do this for free, and for their own reasons. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't state our preferences. There are kernels that improve the device greatly, running one myself. But I've tried more than half a dozen custom ROMS and none gave me anything that would make me stick with it. Always went back to stock.

Not knocking all the hard work and effort. It's pretty amazing what some of these devs come up with, wish I had the knowledge and skills they have. Might try to pick up some basics, just so I understand more of everything involved with it. But I'm a system guy, not really a software dev.
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
Keep in mind we are nitpicking, custom features on new code it takes sometime implement them properly. I am rocking stock at the moment with stock recovery just cause Google is moving fast this time of year.

So take any bug with the custom Roms like this, yes it has more features, you may or may not be affected by bugs. If that bothers you then rock stock. Cause once cm hits stable that's when everything usually falls into place.

Just hopefully we can have less people posting silly complaints on in process releases. Go look in the Ubuntu thread, some user is just posting "its slow" or " there is no reason to use this" as if was a final product makes me smh

Used trinity and Francos kernel have had better results with Francos, his is just about an optimised stockish kernel.
