For some builds I have the same problem. Nothing happens. However, after a certain amount of time, I get the notification that the download is finished (this goes for normal downloads).

As for the Market.. no idea. Just as a check, you can try to get Market Enabler, clear all data&cache on the Play Store, choose another provider with ME, then try again to access Play Store. Maybe it helps as workaround.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XtremX10:
Pull out your battery for 1 mnt, return it back, and then re-flash official rom using Update Service above again, it should work unless

there is hardware failure on phone.

hello,

What is on this moment the best rom with the best fm radio signal ??

thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msedek:
Radio its a feature that almost no one uses.. Anyways who told you that FM/AM signals depends on any particular android rom?.. Just use any TW rom if you want to use the built in radio.... AOSP roms doesn't support it

i accidentally dropped down my desire s....and after the fall there are no sound from the loud speakers like ringtones music etc......but everything else is ok....will a speaker replacement work? i dont have warranty also....what to do??:crying:
[HTC Desire S] oddoneout:
Send it in for repair?

:confused:
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
If you are adventurous then try tearing your phone apart to see whether anything is loose near the speaker. There is a video showing how to do so in here some where.

But try different roms before going down that path. And if you can live without the speaker then let it be.

From the DesireS
[HTC Desire S] premsrj:
Attempting to repair it yourself would not be wise. Everything else is working, right? Then it would be better to send it in for repair. Don't risk trying your luck at repairing it and accidently breaking something important..
[HTC Desire S] rokilmr:
owk.....i'll take this to repair shop....just was curious if i could fix it myself ;)
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Yes, you can fix it yourself, if you can disassemble your phone. It's likely even not the speaker itself but its contacts, it doesn't sit right, moved because of the fall.

On the other hand, if you don't feel safe taking a special small torx screwdriver and disassembling the phone (or don't have the tools), take it to a store to fix. It shouldn't be an expensive fix.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LostHH:
I have an old x10 mini pro u20i device running 2.1

I have rooted the phone and unlocked the bootloader. But decided to keep the stock rom due to ease of use with regards to gmail and various other google apps etc.

Anyway, is there a way to use this phone to tether to my nexus 7 without installing another rom?

Thanks in advance :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Try Barnacle-tether from the app-store, it should run on 2.1.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LostHH:
It didn't work I'm afraid. It seems, after some searching that the Nexus 7 cannot see ad hoc networks.

I did manage to connect via BlueDun and it's associate program on the N7 though but it's not the best connection for obvious reason.

But I'm still wondering, is it at all possible to use my phones 3G connection on my N7 with a connection via an OTG USB cable?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] jmindset:
Wow thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] KidCarter93:
Great thread :)

One that should definitely be on the list is Ultimate custom widget (UCCW).

It allows the user to create their own pure custom clocks with a near endless array of options to customize it how they'd like.

It's always one of the first things I install when I get a new phone or I've done a full wipe.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Thank you so much! This works perfectly. Survives reboot.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] krylon360:
here's the Linux version.

Thanks someone0 for getting this started.

Haven't fully tested the linux version, but it loads and starts up, so should work.

extract, and open up terminal and navigate to the dir you extracted to, and type

./makeroot.sh and then enter.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] verygreen:
This sounds like a good idea initially.

It is true that the B&N does not just check for /system/xbin/su directly like they did in the past.

This time they check for something else and I just had no time to look into it more deeply to find out what is it they are actually checking for. I plan to figure this out on Friday when I am back home.

Also wanted to tell you that having Linux background is a great thing when tinkering with Android (at a low level, anyway). I don't have much Android background to speak of as well.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] roustabout:
This works really well, and thanks to Someone (and mad props too) for getting persistent root working on this.

I may be being very naive, but my suspicion on the reboot is around the manifest file that's present at root.

It seems to be generated by the boot process and it might provide a quick and dirty list of what's permitted on the device to check. With persistent root, lots of investigation becomes a lot less painful. I expect that by end of day we'll have install unsigned running.

Early in my experimenting with the HD+, I noted:

- some versions of the Google Services Framework can be installed via adb

- when I launched the native calendar app after installing gsf, it wanted to sync to a google account, and was able to add the google account

- one version of the Play store installed and launched as far as throwing the 'you must accept the terms of service' before crashing
[Nook HD, HD+ General] andtron:
What BN most likely does is calculating the hash value (or digest, if you prefer) of certain system files that they think shouldn't be tampered with, then during reboot, the values of these files must match, or they will do a factory reset.

The key point is to find out where they do these checks and fool the check.

This sound simple but it depends on how they implement it. If they use binary decisions (like if the hash_value == calculated), then it is easy to get around. If not (e.g. using white box algorithm to hide keys), then it get more complicated.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Tschumi:
excellent and very elegant solution. Kudos!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] someone0:
I'm heading out to work, and if you think your theory is right, try poking around with it. Now that your have root, you can try to dd those bootloading partitions out to user area and upload them out to PC and inspect them.

looking at the vold.fstab

xloader -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
bootloader -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
recovery -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
boot -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
rom -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
bootdata -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
factory -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
system -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
cache -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
userdata -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p10

Be extra careful when touching those partition if you not sure, don't touch them. But making a block copy of them and taking them out should be relatively easy and safe. Obviously you gonna need a Linux box to do this. I setup a VM on one of my PC last night because I need to get a ext4 partition and put all the goodies in there.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] someone0:
Just wonder why do use a zip file for the linux version? Wouldn't this kinda messup the permission when compress/uncompress? meaning, makeroot.sh may not have the proper permission when unzip. Please double check.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] krylon360:
works just fine.

I chmod a+x'd the script before putting it into the zip.

heh, yeah, it works. Forgot I had my touchpad pluged in and it rebooted it....

whoops.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] roustabout:
thanks for posting the location of the /recovery partition. I want to put a copy of htat on ice to prevent BN from undoing any of my work in a future update - I may want some of the fixes they have, but I want to be able to roll them back if needed.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] skyhawk21:
Someone0 are you around can you pm me, Your root works, I installed nook color tools ver .02 in system/app folder and was able to see it in my sideloaded launcher, was able to uncheck/check install non market apps which sets the setting for US to be able to install .apk files from the nook itself, ONLY ISSUE is since I put that file in the system/app folder and the nook didnt like it I got stuck in a bootloop and get to start this process all over again! (nook resetted to ground zero)

maybe we temporary can leave it there get us the permission to install non market apps then remove the file and we will be ok or maybe stuck in another bootloop.

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

GOT IT WORKING NOW:

1. Once rooted, get a file manager with root support and enable read/write permission to /system

2. temporary copy nook tools ver .02 .apk to the system/app folder

3. have a sideloaded launcher and check the app drawer youll see nook tools, run it, first screen uncheck and check the install non market apps box couple of times make sure its checked afterwards

4. have a test .apk to run the BN installer on and see you can now install .apks from the NOOK HD and HD+

5. remove the nook tools.apk file from the system/app folder and quit your file explorer which should reset everything for the system folder back to the way it orginally is!

6. reboot, if you reboot successfully with no boot loop 8 times, your GOLDEN FOR NOW! once again load up a file manager go select an .apk file and see you can now install it! Next step is trying to get amazon market working! then google somehow, but for google you need files in system/app folder permanently!

7. YOU CAN NOW SUCCESSFULLY DOWNLOAD .APK FILES through web, email, any other app and install through the NOOK HD or HD+ BN installer for .apk files. Watch what you install, if it gets put into /system or /system/app folder DREADED BOOT LOOP which resets everything! AMAZON MARKET WORKS!!!! and apps from there install fine to the BUILT IN MEMORY.

** Hopefully amazon market dont install stuff to the system/app folder and if it does hopefully you do not get the dreaded boot loops where you got to start this whole process over again so be forwarned!!! you will loose all data on NOOK HD and HD+ if u get stuck in the bootloops! BACKUP STUFF before messing with root and this kind of thing! DEVELOPMENT!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] someone0:
Aside from moving the actual apk to /system/app/ temporary (since you only do it once), putting a symbolic link there may work also without creating a reset loop. But can't you just side load the apk and run it in other folder?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] skyhawk21:
when you sidelaod it OR install or have it installed to another folder or ran from another folder it cant modify the setting to allow non market apps to install!!

has to be in the /system/app folder THEN RAN from app drawer then you can set the setting uncheck and check box quit program and for now YOU HAVE to remove the .apk from the system/app folder and then you can reboot and the setting sticks! I GOT AMAZON MARKET INSTALLED right now installing apps! NOW WE GOT A KINDLE ladys and gentleman!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] hwong96:
Amazon apk installs in internal memory. Apps downloaded from Amazon get installed in internal memory. You can then move them to SD card or leave them in internal memory. System apps are provided in the ROMs by the developers or vendors. ALWAYS back up before making system changes.. Now rooted - use Titanium Backup. System/app should be static throughout ROM lifecycle unless modified by user.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] someone0:
This is why I put the /system back to ro, at least that is what I think I did.

I think you are not alone. My process also ended up with "success" but not rooted really - I checked it by root checker app.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Rooting will not let you install apks without using adb. You have to do the 'allow unknown sources' hack explained by skyhawk21. And you may not be using ES Explorer right. I think there is a setting you must change in the app itself before it will let you toggle rw.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] nothgd:
I just try skyhawk21 method to allow unknow sources, but I can't get pass the 2nd step. copy nook tool ver.02.apk to system/app folder, copy fail, so I don't think my device is rooted.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Did you set up ES Explorer for root? You have to go to settings in the app and put checks in the boxes under 'root'.

Nook HD+ Root Help Needed (baby steps for a noob)

Sorry everyone for being a noob. I tried messaging ‘someone0’ twice but the forum shows no message sent so I am posting my stupid questions hear. I accept all comments, criticisms, and assistant from all.

I am trying to root my Nook HD+ 32 gig. I received an error in the cmd. I am running Windows 7 Pro Service Pack 1 64-bit. I download the zip and extracted all files. I opened the cmd within the ‘Search programs and files’ and went to my D: drive and root folder where all the files are located. I then typed ‘makeroot.bat’ and the following errors appeared:

‘adb’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

.

waiting for reboot to finish and cleaning up installation files.

I enable ADB in within the Developer options of the Nook HD+. What am I doing incorrectly? I also tried saving the root folder ‘all contents of the zip file’ into the internal memory of the Nook. But I am unable to change the directory within cmd to ‘BNTV600’. I am no DOS genius but I typed BNTV600: within the cmd and the following error appears:

‘BNTV600:’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

If this rooting shall work, will any mandatory updates from Barnes and Noble force the Nook to reset itself? Will this root prevents future possible custom ROMs install? If this root works, I can search for Amazon Apps APK via the webpage and install it that way?

Thanks in advance….
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It sounds like either you do not have the Android sdk installed on your PC or you do not have the path on your PC set for where the sdk is installed. The sdk is necessary before adb will work. Look at my Nook HD+ tips thread linked in my signature for links on how to set up adb on your PC.

And rooting does not block OTA updates from B&N. But rooting is required before you can block them. There are a series of things you must do after rooting to get what you want.

And this rooting has no impact on any future custom ROMs that may in the future be developed.

Consistent Recognition of Nook HD+

With my Windows 7 system, my Nook HD+ is not always recognized. Most of the time, it is recognized, but frequently it is not. If I unplug and reconnect it a few times, eventually it is recognized. This was an acute problem when I was using the batch file of Someone0's rooting procedure. This batch files required multiple reboots and after reboot, the Nook would not be recognized. I had to break his batch file into 3 and after each reboot, I will run the appropriate batch file to completely execute the routing procedure. I tried various USB ports (2 front ones and 4 back ones), but same problem.

Anybody has faced this problem??

Thank you.
