Yes i know that this method could work but what is strange is that the menu with all the options like sound,turn off ecc won't show up if i hold power button and i think that if i turn it off maybe it won't recognise the long press action when i'll try to turn it on
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobWalker:
Press and hold the Volume up and Power buttons simultaneously to simulate removing the battery. After your Nexus shuts off, go ahead and power it on normally.

get to a command line and figure out whats wrong by trying to flash a factory image, or run factory reset in recovery and see if it fixes it.

Factory reset would wipe data partition leaving nothing in data. Makes sense that it wouldnt let you wipe that when there is nothing there.

Try flashing a factory image from fast boot. Not from recovery.

Use fastboot to flash new recovery and system partition. You run fastboot commands from your computer not from recovery and your device needs to be in bootloader not recovery. It does not require you to load it onto the device prior

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Hey all! Maybe it isn't the halo blacklist not working right, but some apps that have icons in the top left of notification bar, like Gsam for example, always appear in halo. Its kind of annoying! LOL

I checked the blacklist from halo option for gsam in manage apps.....but still it shows up in halo 24/7, even after clearing all halo notifications. So I've had to disable the gsam notification which sucks, cause I can't get to it quickly now.

Gsam isn't the only app that does this....just using it as an example. And its the only current app I have that shows a constant icon in notification bar.

Am I not blacklisting gsam properly??

Nothing on Google helped, plus using halo as a search will get you mostly news about the new halo feature or halo the game stuff! LOL

I'm a noob to tables but have done many flashes to my phones. My main question is, I'm rooted and ready to flash a ROM to my Nexus 7 but I'm confused about a few things. I'm running firmware 4.3 so do I need to flash a ROM that's made for 4.3? I'm interested in the Carbon ROM but it doesn't state that it for 4.3.

I'm interested in a stable ROM that has a lot of customizing options. Any suggestions?

Thanx in advance for helping out a Noob!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
ROM = Firmware

Flashing ROM = Flashing different Firmware

If you flash a 4.2.2 ROM over a 4.3 STOCK ROM, then you will have 4.2.2, and nothing about your device will be 4.3

just to verify, you have the old Nexus 7 right?

The nested 0 folders was a recovery issue, not a bootloader one. Neither CWM nor TWRP could initially deal with the new multi-user directory structure. Koush and Team Win promptly updated their recoveries to resolve it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwernerny:
I've been very happy with RasBeanJelly. It has a good cross between features, speed, and light-weight. It tends to be quite stable. I ran it for about 7 months, until I decided that l decided I needed more excitement in my life and jumped to a bleeding edge ROM. Depending on how the new ROM does/does-not develop, I may go back.

Before you go changing ROMs, make sure you are ready. Then make sure you are really ready. After a couple of times you may actually be ready. Look around, and you will find some guides. Here's a good place to start: Flashing Guide. The biggest issue I have had is making sure I have a good BACKUP and RESTORE strategy that works.

Good Luck,

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I haven't heard that anyone has had a problem borrowing library books (with OverDrive) with the Nook 1.2.1?

I've not been able to open library books for a while.

The error message was "User not activated".

Re-activation with the Adobe Digital Editions on the PC proceeded fine but did not fix it.

Now I've got a fix that works fine. (No, stripping the DRM externally was not my solution).

Before I let the cat out of the bag, I'd like to know if this affected others and how they dealt with it.

I'm interested to know this all in depth because some of this might affect how many Adobe licenses you use up.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Maybe this thread would have generated more interest if I had named it "Hacking Angry Birds". :silly:

The stock Nook Reader uses two different kinds of DRM (Digital Rights Management a/k/a encryption).

One variant is for Barnes & Noble purchased books.

The other is the standard Adobe Adept DRM used for borrowing library books with OverDrive.

This is only about the Adobe Adept DRM.

It's not about defeating or stripping the DRM, only on getting it to work properly

One of the critical things on DRM is to identify the device.

In the file /media/.adobe-digital-editions/device.xml is such identification.

It is contained in a XML entry called "fingerprint".

Up to Nook version 1.1.5 this was:

fingerprint=Base64Encode(SHA-1Hash(<16 ASCII chars of /rom/devconf/DeviceId>)).

In Nook version 1.2.1 this is now:

fingerprint=Base64Encode(SHA-1Hash(<16 bytes of /media/.devicesalt>, <16 ASCII chars of /rom/devconf/DeviceId>)).

/rom/devconf/DeviceId is the serial number, something like "3000111122223333".

/media/.devicesalt is a random 16 bytes.

Exactly what it was put in to address is another question.

Who creates this snippet and when is not yet clear.

If you do an update from Nook1.1.5 to 1.2.1 and don't re-register anything you may still download books over USB and the desktop Adobe Digital Editions but they will not load.

Internally they will generate a mismatched fingerprint error and externally a "user not activated" on the screen.

Of course, if you re-register and perform whatever rewrites device.xml to agree with the new fingerprint, that will work.

The question remains, does this new fingerprint use up one of your allowed Adobe Adept device licenses?

This also ties into the Android app OverDrive Media Console.

That also uses a different fingerprint.

Besides the question of whether that uses two licenses for a single device, it also make it impossible to download a file using OMC and then read it on the Nook stock reader instead of the horrible OMC reader.

Questions, comments, answers?

Implemented & tested: A simple way to keep the same fingerprint after an upgrade.

Note: Yes, I know about Calibre and plug-ins, but that's not at all what I want to do.
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
It will, but I've also seen credible reports that Adobe silently expand your activated device allowance to deal with lost/sold devices. Only if you register a number of devices in quick succession will you hit the limit. Even then, people have managed to get in touch with Adobe by phone or email and have their accounts reset/manually edited. I've re-registered my Adobe DRM devices a number of times and haven't yet hit the limit.

It will do.

Quite so. OMC and your Nook are two different devices as far as Adobe is concerned, along with whatever Adobe DRM-enabled readers you've activated on different devices.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
So, to cut to the chase...

ReaderRMSDK.apk 1.2.1 is tied to Nook 1.2.1 and libpdfhost.so 1.2.1

You can't use mixed versions of these three things.

As stated, 1.2.1 uses .devicesalt which 1.1.5 doesn't use.

To patch libpdfhost to totally ignore .devicesalt:

/system/lib/libpdfhost.so 9,695,904
[002b647c] E593F018 => EAFFFFFF (little-endian)

You will have to (and want to) use the same fingerprint as before.

This appears in device.xml and activation.xml
[Nook Touch General] spedinfargo:
I don't understand all of the tech notes in the thread, but back to the original question:

I have installed the Overdrive app on my rooted nook (1.2.1) and am able to download and read books in the Overdrive app itself.

However, I am unable to use the stock reader (which I would rather use) with books that I've downloaded (i.e., go out and find the EPUB file using a file manager on the device and launch from there). That would be a bonus if I could get that to work.

I haven't tried the "old" way of sideloading books from the Adobe application on my PC since I re-rooted my device.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Getting rid of UMS

I've kept to the standard and legit way of borrowing library books using Adobe Digital Editions on my desktop which links over USB to my Nook.

It uses UMS (USB Mass Storage).

UMS is pretty stupid. It shares computer volumes by just presenting the raw disk blocks over USB.

I have been using ADB (and particularly my utility adbsync.exe) for all my synchronizing.

The only holdout of why I still had UMS was for library books using ADE.

Here is how you keep semi-legit, use ADE and just do the connection to your Nook over ADB with WiFi or USB.

Take one of those too small USB flash drives that you have collecting dust, maybe a 256M.

Plug it in the back of your computer, out of the way.

Assign it a drive letter conveniently out of the way.

Create directory .adobe-digital-editions

Copy /media/.adobe-digital-editions/device.xml, /media/.adobe-digital-editions/activation.xml to the flash.

Run ADE, it should recognize your flash as a portable reading device.

Transfer your borrowed book to the flash.

Sync the flash to your Nook.

Read.

Oh, and disable UMS so you can use ADB over USB without disabling your Nook.

[Nook Touch General] lekofraggle:
I am just finding this thread and am wondering if this may provide a fix for my vexing situation.

I am trying to run Mantano with my drmed books (both band n books, and overdrive). The DRM works the same as my normal android devices (nexus 7, Nook color, eris, and rezound).

However, when the app closes, the DRM resets. Oddly enough, Aldiko works fine.

I really like mantano's way of displaying the books accurately and the way it syncs notes and highlights, so I am kind of married to this app. So, I know I have asked before, but does anyone have any thoughts? This could be the beginning to figuring this out yes?

~Leko
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I have no idea what you mean by that.
[Nook Touch General] lekofraggle:
Renate,

Thanks for responding. This is driving me crazy.

What happens is that after I open the app, I can register it with adobe and read my overdrive books. I can also read my Barnes and Noble books by entering my login and credit card number (what they use as a password). This is the way they use adobe DRM.

But, when I close the app, it seems to unregister itself. After closing the app. (Forcing it to quit, waiting a long time, or rebooting the nst), I have to reenter my adobe or Barnes and Noble credentials in the app. With adobe, this does count as a new device each time.

Aldiko does not seem to have the problem.

I have taken decompiled Mantano and tried to figure out how to fix it, but cannot. I have also reached out to the company, they have not helped too much either.

I use mantano as my everyday reading app on my nexus, and want to sync my notes and reading position (which it does well).

Sincerely,

Leko
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I don't know Mantano at all.

It has to save the credentials somewhere, apparently it's not.

Explore around

/data/data/com.mantano.whatever/databases

/data/data/com.mantano.whatever/files

using ADB shell

Is there something there before you shut Mantano down?

Is it still there later?

Is it wiped out on restart?
[Nook Touch General] lekofraggle:
Renate,

Thanks a lot. There are some weird happenings indeed.

So, I browsed the folders, and did not get too far. Here is what I did...

adb shell ls data/data/com.mantano.reader.android

the folders were

shared_prefs

cache

databases

lib

files

In the cache folder was one file

WebviewCache

In the databases folder were three files

webviewCache.db

google_analytics.db

webview.db

In the files folder

licence

.salt

.mno002

.mno001

mantano

I tried to poke around with a database viewer but did not get too far. most of the databases were empty (I have not done much with this app since trying different versions. The only database that seemed to have data was the google_analytics, and none of that looked like password data.

Two more odd things.

There is a .adobe-digital-editions folder on the sd card. Mantano writes to it, because if I delete the folder, it is respawned with mantano mentioned in device.xml.

And, if I run aldiko, its registration seems to overwrite device.xml, but it can read from it (the source of the two reading apps are completely different.)

I wonder if it is a permissions error. The permissions on the .adobe editions folder are ---rwxr-x I tried to find a way to change that, but they do not stick because it is an sd card. 16 gig class 4.

Mantano also has a folder on the sd card with a database, but I am not sure that is where we need to be.

Thanks again for your help.

~Leko
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Your SD card is probably FAT, which is why permissions are not really serious.

I think that you are getting all confused by alternating between Mantano & Aldiko.

(I've not even seen either of these.)

I think that they are both trying to store conflicting credentials in the same place.

The stock ReaderRMSDK.apk uses libpdfhost.so

libpdfhost.so has hard-coded paths in it for .devicesalt, .adobe-digital-editions/device.xml, .adobe-digital-editions/activation.xml on /media

See the start of this thread for "un-salting" the stock ReaderRMSDK.
[Nook Touch General] lekofraggle:
Renate, I actually am not as confused between the two as it seems. I only installed Aldiko after I discovered the DRM issue with Mantano.

Beyond wiping my device, is the other fix for un-salting deregistering the nook? If so, I will try that next.

I think the sdcard is fat, but Mantano does not seem to acknowledge the /media partition. I wonder if that has something to do with the issue.

~Leko
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well then just stick to Mantano.

See when the stuff in .adobe-digital-editions appears.

Back it up somewhere.

Close Mantano and open it.

See if the stuff is still there.

activation.xml has to be writable to add new books.
[Nook Touch General] lekofraggle:
So, I deregistered my nook, and rerooted it. I installed es file explorer and mantano (nothing else).

If In delete the folder or the stuff in it, Mantano recreates it on launch (on the SD card). If I open a book, I have to register. Once I do, it works for a while (an hour or so it seems), but then asks me to re register.

If I move the folder while the app or books are open, it immediately recreates the folder and the three files, but the book needs to be re registered. I seem to get the same result if I move just the files.

I also tried disabling all of the bn apps in the nook manager with the same result.

I am at a loss.

~Leko
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Point #1: Don't deregister your device ever.

When stuff is working, backup the relevant directories.

When stuff stops working copy that back to where it was.

Using ADB stop or reboot is the safest/cleanest way to restart apps.

Every time you re-register it (probably) generates new salt.
[Nook Touch General] lekofraggle:
Renate,

Thanks for the advice. I am trying to figure out how to desalt. Moving the relevant files do not seem to work. I get the same result as if the original ones stayed in one spot.

~Leko
