[Nook Touch General] Renate:
More people seem to have problems with batteries.

I'd like to see if we could get a handle on this.

Some background info:

If you plug a USB host (like a PC) into the Nook with or without a battery it should do the inital power up.

The processor finds itself powered up somehow and starts executing internal bootstrap code in ROM.

It identifies on USB as OMAP3630.

It waits around a few seconds for a command then continues.

Depending on which jumper resistors are soldered in (I'm still looking for this info),

it tries to find the primary boot loader on the SD card or the internal NAND.

The file it looks for is MLO on a FAT disk.

This file is actually x-loader, a very simple loader.

x-loader will load u-boot.bin

Here is where things get complicated.

Up until this point the processor only knows that it seems to have power.

It has not engaged enough peripherals to figure out what or how.

It's at this point that u-boot checks to see if a battery is connected,

what the temperature and voltage is.

Although from a technical point of view the Nook could boot up Android now

without a problem u-boot does not allow it.

Everybody has had that annoying situation of a dead Nook plugged into

a charger and wants to read their book but u-boot digs its heals in and says,

"No, you have to wait while I do some charging."

If you have the battery disconnected but the two sources of identification

wired around (the thermistor and the ID resistance) the Nook will try to charge.

See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42552349#post42552349

It will pulse on and off at about a one second cycle the charging on the battery.

If you connect an LED and a 220-1000 ohm resistor between the battery connection

point and ground you should see it flashing.

If at this point you connect just for a moment the two wires of an external LiPo battery

the display should be activated and go through the charging animation.

Remove the battery and the animation will continue.

This is proof that the Nook could be happy without any battery.

So where does this leave you with your specific problem?

The first question is whether your original battery really has a problem or just discharged.

If you tore the battery apart and couldn't even charge it without the battery protection module that might be something.

Note: I am not advocating the permanent removal of the battery protection module.

I'm just saying for the purpose of testing when you have your eyes right on the battery it's ok.

Check to see if you can get the LED above to flash.

Check if your hacking resistors are correct.

You had a McNair battery pack and the ID resistance was 100K?

I was trying to get my kernel console on the Nook working but something is screwy with it right now.

I would have liked to see if some of the printf's in u-boot were saying something.

Edit:

I just realized that you reused the old BPM from the old battery.

We haven't yet ruled that out as the problem.

Try (as an experiment) using the new battery without the BPM.

Make sure that the voltage on the battery stays between 3.5 and 4.0 V

Do not permanently install anything without the BPM!
[Nook Touch General] phosphero:
Ok,

i cut the battery pcb (protection module) from the new cell and the 6 pin outlet.

connected the wires directly to the lipo cell as follows:

2X red wire to batt +

2x black wire to batt - (ground)

yellow wire to ground via 10K resistor

green wire to ground via 30K resistor

i connected the 6pin plug to the nook and

it turned on!!!!!

:cool:

i do not know that i get or make other protection module for the battery. Anyone can measure the values of R and C? I do not dare to use without module via usb or charger. i can charge the battery separated from the nook, but not the best...

i dont know whats the MCNair battery pack.

on the old battery label:

Model No.:s11ND018A REV: B

LICO, made in China

and yes, the green-ground resistance is 100K on protection module.

i cant discharge the battery with my multicharger if i connect via module. (i try 0,1 and 0,5A too,not discharge)

many thanks
[HTC One SV] chisao101:
I have followed the instructions on the root guide for this phone. I got the bootloader unlocked. When I got to this part:

I start having problems. I can boot into hboot. Then I can choose fastboot. From there, there is no option for "flash recovery" but there is one for just "recovery." I choose that and my phone just reboots back to normal. Plus, on my last phone, when I erwad through the root guide, it went through making the recovery image, but this guide did not do that. I am a beginner (obviously), so what am I missing? I can't do the nandroid backup until it's rooted, and I don't have a backup image. Plus that thing with my phone rebooting back into normal usage after selecting " recovery" from the menu, what do I do about that?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Read there, begin with #791. Same problem with rooting like you.
[HTC One SV] chisao101:
Thanks. So if I want to flash a new ROM, do I do it the same way? Do I need to open the CMD prompt and type in those same commands, but point it to the ROM I want?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
You need the CMD prompt to flash a recovery and from recovery you can flash Superuser to become root or flash roms (from recovery).
[HTC One SV] chisao101:
Ok, this is what's happening now. I hold the volume down key and power key. It boots into hboot (i think that's what it's called). I scroll down to recovery and hit the power key. It immediately goes to the logo screen with a message that says "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC ithout HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action."

It just stays there until I remove the battery and start over.

Am I missing a step?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
What have you done? Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?

The recovery you need, is in fastboot folder on pc, renamed to recovery.img?
[HTC One SV] chisao101:
Am I supposed to type into the cmd prompt again: "flashboot flash recovery superuser.zip"?
[HTC One SV] chisao101:
Yes, this is exactly what I did.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Don't type this!!!

This can brick your device!

Now, what cmd did you use, look at the prompt.

The recovery seems not to be flashed correctly, thats why it is not booting to recovery!

And look, how it is written: fastboot not flashboot

Copy and paste, otherwise you can damage your phone!
[HTC One SV] chisao101:
Ok, I made a folder on my PC:

C:\Android

Inside that folder I have these files:

adb.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

CMD starten

fastboot.exe

Superuser.zip

trecovery.img

I moved these files to my SD card:

trecovery.img (renamed to recovery.img)

Superuser.zip

I started my phone holding the volume down, and it booted to the hboot screen with a menu that has these items:

fastboot

recovery

factory reset

clear storage

simlock

image crc

show barcode

I selected "fastboot" from the menu, and it went to a new menu with these menu items:

bootloader

reboot

reboot bootloader

power down

I plugged the phone into the USB.

I clicked the CMD starten

I typed this:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I hit enter and got this message in the CMD prompt:

sending 'recovery' (7456 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.042s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 1.988s]

finished. total time: 3.031s

C:\Android>

When I go back to the previous menu and select "recovery" it just boots and hangs on the HTC One screen. If I take the battery out and reboot normal, it works fine with my stock Android install, like nothing happened.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
The recovery.img must be in same folder as fastboot.exe, on pc, not in sdcard!

But i don't what you have flashed then...
[HTC One SV] chisao101:
I just went through the whole process again and it is working now! I must have missed something the first time.

So after it booted into recovery, I saw where it says "install zip from SD card"

I looked up the superuser.zip and installed it. It seemed to go ok, and it is rebooting now.

So this just means that the phone is now rooted, correct?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
You can check, if you have a Superuser app in appdrawer.

But i see, you are on boost, which recovery did you flash?

Give me the link to the thread, please! Cause boost need its own recovery!
[HTC One SV] chisao101:
ClockworkMod Recovery for ICS, which is linked to : https://www.dropbox.com/s/tgcdztlzmi2bd35/trecovery.img

I got it from that guide that you sent me to earlier in this thread. That's the same guide I was already using before I started the thread too.

Where can I find the correct recovery for Boost?
[HTC One SV] chisao101:
It did not install the superuser correctly because it's not in my app drawer.

I also noticed that the recovery menu is kinda shifted to the side a little bit, so it's hard to read until I start scrolling. Yeah, this has to be the wrong recovery.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
You can use this or the boost variant from here.
[HTC One SV] chisao101:
That first link doesn't work. It goes to the right thread, but when you go to download the file, it is not found.

I got the other one, and I'm about to flash it.

Any suggestions for a stable version of JB for this phone?

P.S. Thanks for all your help. You have been awesome!
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
There is only one jb for boost i know and you have to be S-off for it.
[HTC One SV] chisao101:
Will the unrevoked3 tool work for this phone to get S-off? I just read about it, and this looks like it's for the EVO and a couple of other phones, but it's not clear on whether I can use it on the One SV.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
No, don't do this!!!

Moonshine S-off. But there i could not assist, i used another method which is not available for boost.

Edit:

Wooooot, Post Number 1000! :D
[HTC One SV] chisao101:
There's another method, I think. For the last few days I have been getting notifications for an OTA update to JB but it would not install. I'm sure that it's because I had tampered with the OS. I tried rooting this thing weeks ago and gave up. Then I started looking at it again today because of that update that won't install.

So, I read somewhere this morning about a way to get the OTA to work even after it's ***tampered*** (lol) by changing a number somewhere in the phone. I just can't remember what it was. I'll have to research it some more.

So, I'm gonna look into the S-off and this other method. The whole reason I wanted to root this thing is to get JB on here.

Thanks for all your help, man.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Then you are on the complete wrong way, i think. To get the update running, you need complete stock recovery, system and boot.img.

The other method is SuperCid which i used, but i doesn't work on boost.

Some minutes ago i helped here another boost user.

He said, he had root and did the jb update following this guide.
[HTC One SV] chisao101:
Thanks. I just looked through that thread and saw how he did it. I have a couple of questions, but I'm asking over there, since that thread fits what I'm trying to do now.

You're like some mad genius, aren't you? lol

You help a lot of people here, dude. That's awesome. Just in case you don't hear it enough, I really appreciate the help you're giving out.

You should do a search for similar questions before making the same question thats already been answered

anyways, you should offline flash a fresh 10g kdz.. root it and then use rooted v20d cwm back up to restore u to rooted v20d.

worked perfectly for me

I seem to be having this thing types of connection problems with my apple airport extreme other people have been having with dlink router .

I can't connect automatically to my wifi I have to go to be advance settings and set it up manually with a static IP then it connects fine but it seems to lag very badly. for example when reading Google+ and I advance through the posts the pictures will stop populating and I will either have to wait for it to finally connect or refresh several times even though it says wifi is on. Does anyone else have this problem with this router?

Right now I am getting better connections through t mobile data and I am to my wifi which sucks since I'm at home all day any advice? I've played around with the router settings restarted the router etc and have had no luck on improving it. also there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of settings to change on the Apple Airport like that are on some routers so I'm kind of at a loss I'm hoping Samsung either patches this and fixes it or i may be stuck upgrading to new router which sucks since my router is not even that old.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Go Samsung 64GB UHS for sure. Even if you don't think you need that much space now. You don't want to regret it in the future. Buy one 64 GB now instead of a 32GB and then a 64GB later.

reliable sd card

From what I've read, on various Android forums and on Amazon, it's best to stay away from the SanDisk cards because many people have a lot of trouble with them.

I have a 64 gb Samsung card that I got on Amazon and it's working very well. It may have been overkill in terms of gbs, and you might want to consider a 32, but I'd stay with a Samsung card.

I bought this card to replace the 32 gig card I jacked from my gopro black when I got this phone. I'll be using the 64gig in the gopro now.
[Windows 8 General] ILA:
I'm searching for a tablet that comes with a full windows 8 but that is also supported by the linux kernel so I could install Ubuntu on it.

I thought that an atom Z2760 based tablet was the way to go, but I've discovered that that processor is not nor will be supported by the linux kernel, so that was a no go.

Atom Z2760 based tablets were relatively not so expensive, so I'm looking for a tablet that costs under 500 euros/550$ and the screen size to be 8" or above (10" would be perfect)

Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thanks in advance!
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
As you point out, the atom tablets cannot run linux. That leaves you with intel core i3/i5/i7. I dont know of any within your budget.

Only things I can think of are either

A) wait quite a while. The bay trail CPU's are back to what you expect and are normal x86 processors capable of running windows 8 and linux if you wish. However I dont think they are due until 2014.

B) Virtualbox on an atom tablet. No one wants to do that really.

C) Increase your budget.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
If you don't mind *installing* Win8 rather than having it come pre-installed, there are plenty of older tablet PCs which will do the job, and while most of them initially retailed for far above your cutoff price, you can usually find them fairly cheap nowadays.

For example, here's an older Dell Latitude 10 tablet that uses an Oak Trail Atom CPU and runs Win7 by default, and is in your price range: http://outlet.us.dell.com/ARBOnline...arch.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dfh&cs=22&puid=2e477084

Bear in mind though: those specs are pretty bad by today's standards. It will run Win8, and it will run any desktop Linux distro I know of, but it won't run either one terribly well.
[Windows 8 General] ILA:
Thanks for your replies, really appreciate them!

Ok, I guess I'll just pass this generation of affordable Win8 tablets and get a laptop.
