[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SystemDoctor:
It all started yesterday when I was using my GT-P7500 (Rooted and Running Slimbean 4.1.2 ROM), I left it alone and I got some rest. After a few minutes it powered off unexpectedly. The following day I tried to flash the stock 3.1 using Odin3 v1.85, Odin said it passed, I looked at my tablet it was doing something it was supposed to do, it then went to the Samsung Logo (Not the Boot Animation) after that it got stuck in a bootloop, I tried going to stock recovery but it was no use, I couldn't get there. I can attachments if you can't understand what I am saying.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SystemDoctor:
It now takes forever to flash stock rom.

My friend said to use another version of Odin3 so I used v3.04, But now it takes forever to flash, CAny help will be gladly appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eushaun99:
Maybe try to flash a custom recovery and then flash another custom ROM, or flash stock ics ROM
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SystemDoctor:
Going to try that later

I'll try that later, but my tab is taking forever to flash the stock rom, What will happen if I remove it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SystemDoctor:
Please help!!!!

Odin3 said that it was a failure, now my tab says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

I selected emergency firmware recovery but my device doesn't show up. What should I do? Should I just turn it off ,charge it and try to use Odin3 again?:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eushaun99:
You just want your tab to boot right? If its not stock does it matter? If not, flash cwm recovery, make a full wipe then flash a custom ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SystemDoctor:
I flashed CWM and it was a success, now I tried going to CWM Recovery, but with no avail. It just says

# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating Application...

Then after that, it will just say the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Logo.

If I flash the Stock ICS Rom, will this resolve my problem?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eushaun99:
You can try, but I'm not really sure though. I think you need experts help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SystemDoctor:
Can anyone send me a link of the GT-P7500 Stock ICS ROM?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SystemDoctor:
I have a question though, What version of Odin would that best be to use on.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eushaun99:
I'm using v1.87, so far no issues.

[Nook Touch General] Tarakan5:
Hello.

I bought a refurbished Simple Touch from ebay and I would like to hack it to access my Google account and to install a better PDF reader.

http://lifehacker.com/5889158/turn-a-99-nook-into-a-fully-fledged-android-tablet-in-four-easy-steps didn't open my nook and caused it to get stuck in the loading mode, showing a screen that the nook is loading after I restarted it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1469281 didn't work for me either. My Nook was stuck again. I didn't restore it using a special program. Instead, I turned it off six times to reset factory settings.

I used these files to hack my Nook:

Win32DiskImager.exe

touchnooter-1-6-24.img

touchnooter-2-1-31.img

I am stuck with two micro SD cards that used to be 4GB and now their apparent size is down to 75 megabytes and I don't know what to do since formatting doesn't solve the problem. What should I do to restore the micro SD cards?

The Nook Model is BNRv300

The Serial Number is 301413017......

Please help me install a hack on my Nook Simple Touch Reader.

Thank you.
[Nook Touch General] rayhan619:
Follow the steps in this thread. For your micro sd card use a partition manager to erase the partition and format the disk.
[Nook Touch General] Tarakan5:
What steps should I follow?

[Nook Touch General] Tarakan5:
I am not sure where are the steps written here. Everything seems to abstract.

What does that mean? Where do I get the scripts

Is this one Linux-based?

What kind of partition software do I use to restore my SD cards that lost volume after my attempt to nooter my Nook?

I am sorry to post this but it seems like there is very few information available for someone who wants to have a rooted Nook but is not a complete expert on the subject. I cannot post on the developer forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2040351 and it seems like developers are a little isolated from the users of their work.

What do I write to my Nook? Do I need to take out an internal memory that contains the default Nook software on it?

May I get something user-friendly for a common combination of Windows 7 x64 and a Nook Simple Touch?

Is there a any step-by-step solution that is up to date that I can apply to do this?

Thank you.
[Nook Touch General] wild03:
same boat :(

I'm on the same boat, new nook with FW 1.0.1

I used these files to hack my Nook:

Win32DiskImager.exe

touchnooter-2-1-31.img

After reboot it try to load and showing progress dots. And on the third dot screen would flash and do this in a loop

I tried factory reset by holding down buttons and after I reset to factory.same loop flashing.
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
The scripts are included in NookManager. What the author means is that he doesn't just blindly replace original Nook files with his own, he modifies them programmatically so that even if NookManager is used on a version of the Nook firmware that it wasn't designed for, there's a good chance it'll work (though this is no reason to go without a backup first!)

I'd be surprised if all the rooting approaches didn't use Linux under the cover, as a) it's free to use and distribute b) it's commonly understood by devs and many users and c) Android itself uses a modified Linux kernel and UNIX-like user environment.

As for getting your SD card space back afterwards, Windows makes this harder than it needs to be for no discernible reason. Essentially, you need to delete the partitions, delete the second and resize the first, or wipe the entire card and repartition. I don't tend to use Windows for that sort of thing, so I can't give clear advice. But googling phrases like "repartition memory card" seems to throw up useful-looking stuff. It all seems to vary from Windows version to Windows version, though. And the .inf file that is associated with each particular brand of memory card and memory stick.
[Nook Touch General] mikey242:
Just a little tip for getting the SD card back to normal (Windows) is to use the Raspbmc installer. Once you have downloaded it just open it and click on the "Restore device for formatting" button and that will sort it out.

http://download.raspbmc.com/downloads/bin/installers/raspbmc-win32.zip
[Nook Touch General] Tarakan5:
I have done some programming in my time, but Linux is not something I want to deal with. There is no way I can edit a program that is already compiled.

What are the steps that I need to follow to get NookManager to work?

Folks, if you are trying to teach the masses for free, how to hack their Nooks then please do it so masses would understand, not a small number of people who are obsessed with Linux.

Thank you.
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
The NookManager instructions aren't as apparent as one might like but they are there at the bottom of the first post on the NookManager thread referenced above:

Once booted into NookManager just take a look at the menu items - they are pretty self explanatory. Make a backup first then root.
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
Why do you think you need to edit anything? You don't see a Linux or UNIX command line at all during the rooting process.
[Nook Touch General] Tarakan5:
umanuel after

Where? Nook? I don't know how to get to the rooting process.
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
straygecko pointed out the installation instructions from the original post above. You can prepare your NookManager memory card from Windows (or Mac or Linux). So no Linux required there either.
[Nook Touch General] Tarakan5:
How would I backup by Nook?
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
Its one of the NookManager menus. Its really all very simple so I suggest you make your NookManager SD card, boot it up and look through the menus before asking more questions.
[Nook Touch General] wild03:
Alright, finally got a chance to do follow instructions, Thanks so much

I'll have to admit i panicked with what stuff Tarakan5 was posting but it is really that simple.

Download any free partition software for XP and delete partition on SD card to leave just one partition,. reformat with SDFormater

Extract image file to PC, and use Win32DiskImager as before.

Voala, it boots to NookManager with a nice menu,

Select option for factory reset.

Nook back ALIVE.

Get latest firmware from B&N

Upgrade from 1.0.1 to 1.2.1

Stick SD card again to boot into Nookmanager again

Select backup (Wait 20 mins)

Boot again and select Root

And I think I'm rooted now. :)

Thanks

Just gotta find out how to use the rooted nook.
[Nook Touch General] Tarakan5:
I finally figured it out. I installed Nook Manager and it worked.

Is there any way I can browse internet with my Nook on any basic level? I want to be able to see an online dictionary.

Is it possible to disable automatic updates on the Nook? I really don't want to hear from the Barns and Noble capitalists ever again. I have my own books on it and that stupid update that cannot install (for known reasons) interrupts my reading.

Thank you.
[Nook Touch General] digixmax:
FWIW I use Opera Mobile browser on my NST.
[Nook Touch General] Tarakan5:
It can be installed on to Nook Simple Touch?
[Nook Touch General] digixmax:
Yes (NST = Nook Simple Touch)_
[Nook Touch General] ghostofcain:
Have you installed the NSTGapps? if so you can install many apps from the market, the simplest way to install them is to search market on your PC and select install (NST should show up as phone) then they are pushed to your NST, searching directly on the NST is a PITA especially as it doesn't work within the market itself.
[Nook Touch General] Tarakan5:
Did NST Gapps install automatically, along with the Nook Manager and the Reader program that lets me navigate through my files more easily.
[Nook Touch General] ghostofcain:
No, unless you downloaded the Gapps and extracted the file to your NookManager card. Check to see if market is installed?
[Nook Touch General] Kralik:
Opera Mobile + FastMode (with special kernel) works well for internet browsing. If you have any questions on the rooting process, feel free to PM me. I've done it literally over a dozen times, maybe more.
[Nook Touch General] Tarakan5:
Do I reinstall Nook Manager and extract another image of Gapps, side by side with the image of the Nook Manager?

How do I get a browser on my Nook? A Chrome-based browser would be great.

Opera Mobile is not free. Is there any way I can get it onto my nook from my PC?

Thank you.

Is there any good way to block the touch screen when I put the Nook Touch away?
[Nook Touch General] woody_2k:
I have flashed many Linux images and so when you place the card / USB back into a windows pc it doesnt see the full size of the card. (Same problem as you)

I use the HP USB disk storage format tool to return it to the correct size, works everytime. :laugh:
[Nook Touch General] amjl2000:
Is that to resize the partition without destoying data? Or a complete reformat?

Thanks
[Nook Touch General] Tarakan5:
Where would I look for the "Market" ?

If I write Opera Mobile on an SD card and stick it into my NST, would it work?
[Nook Touch General] Tarakan5:
So how do I get Opera onto my NOOK? Are there any good directions on how to do this?

Thank you.
[Nook Touch General] ghostofcain:
Install GApps, as instructed earlier then use market search, or play.google to install opera.
[Nook Touch General] Tarakan5:
What is Gapps?

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps

< what does this mean???

Nobody gave me specific instructions on how to install it onto a NST.

I wrote this file I downloaded to an SD card but it doesn't open from the Nook. Is .sh a linux extension? My Windows OS doesn't want to install this program.

I have to remind you that I am from the outside of the hacker community and I have no idea how all those things work.

I do know how to work with general IT stuff, there are just problems that I never ran into in my life.

I am just trying to obtain full functionality of the Nook that was only made to sell media of this one capitalist, and some wise people figured out how to make it useful for other things.
[Nook Touch General] Joydeck:
I use the APK Downloader extension on Google Chrome to download from Google Play to the PC. I setup Google Play for a phone since it won't easily recognise the Nook. I use Dropbox, from the Amazon apps store to transfer apk files to the Nook.

I like downloading to the PC because I can evaluate available apps more easily.
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
It's a short nickname for 'Google apps', which includes Market, Gmail and the supporting infrastructure (e.g. authentication).

Ignore that. You're not using cyanogenmod's Android install. cyanogenmod's Android is mostly for full-featured tablets and phones.

.sh is a Linux (UNIX, actually) filename extension for a shell script. But that's probably not useful, as that suggests you're not following the correct path to get Google Apps on your NST. If you were, you wouldn't be fiddling round with .sh files.

If I remember correctly, you rooted your NST using NookManager, correct? If so, read the first posts of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2040351 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086582. Essentially, download the linked NTGAppsAttack-0.5.0.zip from the second post, extract it to the SD card that you wrote NookManager to (you still have it? If not, write it again), then switch your NST off by pushing-and-holding the power button, insert the SD card, turn your NST (by pushing and holding the power button again) on and boot NookManager from the SD card and follow the instructions in the second post.

With respect, the instructions in those two articles are extremely clear and easy to follow. Reading and understanding are the two main skills you need. Patience, too, I suppose, as you might need to re-read things in order to understand their full meaning.

Does anyone know of a weather app that has quick status icon instead of taking up the entire lock screen or using background images I can't change? I've tried a few different ones and none of them seem to support the quick status section on the lock screen. So I am hoping some XDA member knows of one that has this ability.

BT 200

I own a BT 200 and am very satisfied about it.

After some minor installation/bonding problems, due simply to the fact that I did not exactly know how to deal with it, I think it makes a good choice.

Battery life OK en especially satisfied about combined use with bluetooth GPS (BT 308)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] k_kirk:
I have a J200 with the 03C code. Never had the bonding issues with stock XDA2 BT stack. Sound quality leaves room for improvement though. What I hear is often scratchy... Also note, when you are using the J200 on BT, the mute button on screen (Phone Applet) does not work. NOt sure if there is a fix for this. Can get quite embarassing if you are not aware of this "feature"!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] jesal:
oki so score is 2 on 2. i dont care much bot the mute func. dont use it much. 03C weird code. wht to do oh my godddd :wink: :roll:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] bandito66:
Buy a Bluetrek G2, it seems that there's no problem with this headset...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] faisal:
using 250. code 23C. works quite well. one out of ten connections breaks up the voice a bit. have not tried range too much but my use is mostly in the car where it is not far. battery life is fine (well beyond the xdaii)

hope this helps..
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] sonadt:
I've tested Bluetrek G2, Jabra 250 (code 15C) with XDAII for a month.

- Battery: both are good

- Both can pair at least 2 devices (XDAII and Notebook for IP telephony)

- Jabra: big but pro

- G2: light and small

- Sometime the sound is not good, repair for scan the new frequency slot and they will be OK

Finally, I've selected Jabra 250 because it is easy to hang on your T-shirt button :lol:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] jesal:
hmmm thx for the input. the problem is that i dont get the Bluetrek G2 at all in my country. ill havta hunt. whts the price for the g2 neways. i really like the jabra. go on pplz more input plz
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] bandito66:
Try by yourself, it's the best solution for you. We can't offer you the solution..
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] jesal:
i know that it is. but its the reviews that im interested in mostly.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] bandito66:
The most importan is what you think. XDA's users have very different experiences about this headset. Impossible to give you an opinion you can trust
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] azbro:
I'm using the 250 (16C) and its OK.

Plus points:

-Design is nice and ppl. wont think that I'm out of this world.

-Battery life is super

-Range is super. My friends are very suprised at the range I'm getting.

But take note. At a long range, there will be a slight delay (2~3 sec. than usual) in getting the tone signal in.

-Easy to hang on the shirt.

-One 2 One-one year warranty (i'm not sure abt. other countries).

-Super clear voice going in to the ears (this is also a problem too) and ppl. talking to us get a clear voice too.

Minus points:

-I get a headache if wearing it for too long (lets say more than 4 hours).

I'm not sure abt. other headsets.

-The sound is indeed scratchy but this is due to its super clear earplugs.

Other products like DCI, Bluetrek, Logitec are also scratchy and breaking voice, but their design is different in a way that it minimize this. Simple to say Jabra is more like 'mid to tweeter' while other models are more 'bass to mid' sound. Logitec goes a step further and add a 'beep' sound when it starts breaking up. I think BT technology needs to improve further.

-I do get very rare case of bonding problem after installing 3rd party bT software. Uninstall it, so back to normal.

-err...paint is slightly dulling out at the area which touches the back of the ears. I'm not sure why but probably due to the perfume or maybe hair oil I'm using. But its very minimal.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] jesal:

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Pope:
I've got a 250 (06C) and I've had no problems with it.

It's by far the least obtrusive headset I've found, sound quality is perfectly adequate for conversation (not sure it would be good for music, but then music over bluetooth would be bad anyway!) and the range great and battery life is unbelievably long!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] busterkat:
I have a 200. 10B

This is a replacement for my first- the speaker actually fell out and got lost..

I used it sucessfully with my MDA I. Wind noise was a big problem. Sound was a little scratchy by very adequate.

Battery OK as long as you remember to turn it off and return it to the cradle. The battery bonks really fast in standby mode.

I have been completely unsuccessful in getting it to work with my MDA II. I bonds but I get no sound. I don't know if it is the Jabra or the MDA's fault here. Jabra support friendly but clueless.

Very comfortable. Stays on the ear very well. Does not look too weird.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] toyotasera.co.uk:
I use a Jabra 250. I read about the problems here before I got the XDA (got headset first), but thank fully no problems. I've not had any other headsets so can't say how good it is, but I'm happy with it. Its comfy and light and the battery life is more than acceptable.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] sg_r1:
i have a 250 06C. Used to have a lot of problems with my previous 250. I can't seem to pick up an incoming call immediately after hanging up from one. So i wrote to Jabra and they swopped another one for me.

Now it works brilliantly. Can't have anymore complains about it other than a dodgy call receive button.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] alimx:
my thought of jabra is :

1. design is great (didn't give headache before 4-5 hours usage)

2. battery life is about 4-5 days (turn off at night)

3. sound quality is fine (except for O2 Xphone, it's the phone bt problem)

but the biggest score for jabra is : IT SUPPORT 2 DEVICES OF O2 PHONES (XPHONE AND XDA II) at the same time.. so I could use one jabra for my phones.

I haven't test the rest of the bluetooth headsets available yet..
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] jesal:
hmmm. gr8 write ups ppl. i was thinking when is the BT500 comin out then. if soon ill get that one instead. i lost my nokia 6600 recently so have only xda2 to use it with i can wait a bit get a new phone and new BT as well. whens it out i want to know that.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Carlos:
I bought the 250 today, and it's going back to the store tomorrow. I hate it. Sounded fine, but it's too much bulk to stick behind your ear. Also challenging to put on quickly with one hand while the phone is ringing.

Also tried a Motorola 810. Nicer, but feels too loose and floppy when I turn my head around quickly while driving. Feels like it will fall off. Easier to put on quickly. Comes with a queer-looking bright blue metallic belt case that's very big. The Jabra's belt clip/charger unit is VERY nice.
