[Nook Touch General] sinlog:
I bought a used nst glowlight (bnrv350), I made a backup, and then I tried to root using glownooter, but had a limited success : I could not install google market or opera mobile.

So I tried to restore the backup, but after "read forever, your nook is starting up", nothing happens, the message just stays there. I can boot with the back button, but it does the same.

I then tried to restore the factory image several times, using all the methods I could find in the internet, but it does the same as above. It has been going on for 24 hours.

The problem might have originated when I could not use winimage in my windows 10 computer to make the backup, and I used windows xp in a virtualbox in my linux computer instead. I used also dd, but I am afraid I don't remember the exact order. The backup size is 426.8 MB.

I reverted back to windows 10 with win32diskimager, with the same result.

Can anything be done ?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
That backup is too large, I think. Should be more in the neighborhood of 250 MB? Have you tried the factory re-image where you just see the booting up screen and then hold down the two bottom hardware buttons until you get a prompt?

It's difficult--but not impossible--to damage the factory image unless you've been messing with the partitions. If that method does not get you there, consider making a NookManager card and trying to access the re-image routine from its menu.
[Nook Touch General] sinlog:
Thank you for your reply. I just used nookManager. After 5 seconds, it said the backup was successful, but there was no backup in the card. Similarly, it said that rooting was successful, but when I removed the card, it did the same as before : "starting up..." and it stays there.

Do you have another idea ? I downloaded the 1.2.2 update from the b&n site. Can nookManager install it ?

PS: The nook was already 1.2.2

Yes, I used the two lower buttons trick.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
5 seconds is not enough time for NookManager to correctly make a backup. And, backups can only be seen on the card if you connect your NSTG to your PC while NookManager is running. Otherwise the partition is invisible.

It's hard to know since I have no experience with the NSTG. If it were an NST I would suggest that you perform the region change flash, but it's not clear if that will remove your light function or, indeed, if the flash is deep enough to rewrite the areas of your device that appear to be preventing boot. AFAIK there are no ROM images for the NSTG available. But there might be. Somewhere.

I guess if you have exhausted all the possibilities, rather than trashing the device I would try the region change (just flash the US firmware again--I assume that's what's on there already). It may or may not preserve the glowlight capability, but it might at least produce a functioning e-reader. But only as a last resort.

Edit: Hmm.... seems like I've been down this winding road before: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72551413&postcount=57

But I emphasize that this process worked for a plain NST, not the NSTG, so it is an absolute last resort (and might not work anyway because you could have a completely different situation). Next thing is to look at the innards of the 1.1 updater and see if Glowlight updates could be substituted...
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
O.K. So here is a thread that contains a link to an NSTG image and the instructions to write to your device (read down in the thread).

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2608815

What "may" happen: your device could end up with a mismatched serial number and or MAC address depending on how this image was made. There is information on this forum for correcting the MAC address. Just a disclaimer. I don't know. IF this is successful, you can then do a manual update to 1.2.2 and then root with the

updated

NookManager. I've checked the link to the image and it is still good. I got a file that is about 245 MB--seems about right. Presumably you use the image in place of your backup in the restoring process described in the thread.
[Nook Touch General] sinlog:
I am very grateful for your help, but I am afraid I need more. The nook is now functioning and I might not have done it without your hints. As you suspected, the serial number and mac address have changed (I wrote them down before all this). I suppose that's why it did not automatically upgrade to 1.2.2 . Also the device says it's connected to the internet, but it doesn't seem to be.

I searched xda (nstg mac address, nstg serial number), but I didn't find anything meaningful to me (there are posts by Renate and by ros87 but too complex). Can you help, please ?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Oy.

I didn't think you would act so rashly with all my disclaimers. Well, it's done. I actually don't think the MAC address is a big deal unless you begin to have issues.

Did you actually manage to register? If so then the serial number must not currently be in use and the change you effected was deep enough to pass muster. If not....well battery life is said to be shorter for devices that have skipped registration.

Correcting the MAC address is described (sort of) here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1483600

As far as I can guess it involves editing a hex file. Doable, but maybe not needed. There is no way to correct the serial number. It is heavily encrypted with private keys. Again, if you managed to register then this is all moot.

How are you judging lack of internet connectivity?
[Nook Touch General] sinlog:
I was not given the opportunity to register and I don't care about registration, but I'd like to have connectivity. The link you just gave me is for the ros87's thread that I mentioned, and I don't know how to use it. So I suppose I cannot upgrade to 1.2.2 . Should I root the device ?

PS : ros87's last activity was 2 years ago

EDIT : I copied nook_1_2_update.zip in the device and it was installed. I have now 1.2.2
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
You didn't answer my question about connectivity. Are you not able to make a connection? With only the stock device there is nothing to connect to other than B&N. What does it say about "Owner" in the Settings?

Yes, you should root. Be sure to use the NookManager update or it won't work.

Before we even think about the MAC address issue you need root access and some way to tell if you actually have an internet connection. That means some kind of functioning browser, etc.

Do you still have that weird backup? If so, keep it safe somewhere. You may want that someday.
[Nook Touch General] sinlog:
I tried to download a book and I got this : Unable to download, Internal error...

I can ping the nook from the computer.

I will look into rooting the device in 2 or 3 hours and then post again. I suppose this is what you're referring to :

[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
There is an entire galaxy of mystery contained in that statement. Download from

where

? Download with

what

? Do you have an sdcard inserted for storage?
[Nook Touch General] sinlog:
I meant to download a book from the home page of the nook, where it says New reads. I am still unrooted and I don't leave an sdcard inserted.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Hmm... I'm surprised there are any books populating that section at all since the device is not registered. In any case, that is no test of connectivity since without registration the NSTG will spit out all kinds of generic messages about connections and failures if you attempt anything that requires access of B&N servers--like buying/downloading a book (which you can't do unless you are registered).
[Nook Touch General] sinlog:
Rooted with nookManager updated. Opera mobile needs to be reinstalled. I can connect to the computer using es file explorer, so wifi is ok. BUT I can't use nookManager because I can't read the icon labels. I'll restore the backup tomorrow and I will try another rooting method. There are 2 more, I think : tiny and glownooter. Are there others ?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
? Do you mean ADW Launcher? You can fix the icon label issue in the Settings. As I recall the default font color is white. That needs to be changed to black. The size can also be changed. Depending on what icon style you pick the label will either be on one line or, if longer, on two. LOTS of Settings in ADW. Don't write it off without spending some time working with it.
[Nook Touch General] sinlog:
Sorry, I used glownooter. It's a lot like touchnooter, with which I am familiar. I still have to sign in to my google account and to install opera mobile. I'll be back when finished.
[Nook Touch General] sinlog:
Opera mobile is installed and working. I still can't sign in to google but I can use yalp store and that's good. Thanks again, nmyshkin, you saved my nook glowlight.

The latest version is a complete rewrite of the app, with greater improvement around the DRM methods, which is proving difficult to bypass to enable playback support on older / non-certified AndroidTV boxes.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] vMAC:
I am trying to diagnose an issue with my Pixel 3XL in which it won't allow me to do the OTA update.

I am looking to see if anyone can verify that they have a file at: /data/system/system-update-info.xml

If you have this file and are on the December 5th security update or the Jan update please send it to me or post here.

Thank you in advance.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
On my phone, the file you are looking for does not exist at this location. Are you rooted and trying to take an OTA? If so the downloaded "incremental" OTA is never going to work. If you are bound and determined to use an OTA image, simply sideload the full OTA from recovery via adb, and if you are rooted why not just flash the full image via fastboot?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] vMAC:
In the past I have been able to do the incremental OTA while rooted with Magisk without issue. Lately I have been having issues getting it to even acknowledge that an OTA is available. When checking my logcat it showed an attempt to locate that file and that is why I was checking to see if anyone had it.

The problem with doing a full image via fastboot is that I have to be tethered. I travel a lot and don't want to have to worry about getting to my home computer to get everything up to date. The previous ability to do an OTA with Magisk installed for my Pixel was perfect and efficient. Hoping to get back to that point.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] 14eduardo144:
Hi guys,

I am still running android 8.0 and I was wondering those of you who have upgraded, would you recommend it?

Mostly interested in speed and battery if anybody can provide based on their own experience
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kyooohei08:
Out of 10, I would give it a 9.

If you're concerned with speed, now don't. Overall UI is fluid especially with new animations. The opening of third party apps (such as opening an external link from app) feels really smooth now. The only hiccup I see in UI is within the recents view, sometimes I can see the frame drops while opening recent key, it's not the smoothest.

Battery, Im not sure if there were massive improvements, but I consistently get around 4hrs SOT. Though, Im not quite sure in the future, maybe it'll improve due to Adaptive battery found in pie.

For me, camera is also a factor to consider when upgrading. I was surprised by how much improvement was made particularly in low light hdr shots. Low light shots involving many lights in oreo tend to be a little overexposed, blowing out the highlights, but in pie, they were all balanced. HDR became aggressive, and trust me, I've taken so much pictures already. Though Im not sure about whether its the scene optimizer or it's another improvement.

The thing with pie camera is that I cant enable Video Stabilization even with 4k30 res and tracking AF turned off.

Well, you are 100% right about Verizon, they do suck big-time. Sell that phone and get the Google unlocked one, even if you have to borrow the money. Good luck.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=629115]d33dvb[/MENTION]: That's a bit difficult. Ebay is not an authorized reseller according to Google's Terms and Conditions, and thus he doesn't have any warranty at all. Plus, how do you define "alot" here? Based upon my recollection of events, the bulk of the refurb devices sent back were Verizon units.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rafe83:
I was so impressed with it I didn't decide to root till after the warranty was up so now I'm stuck with it. I may try to sell it but I'm just mad at myself for not doing more research on root for it before I bought it.

I planned to buy Pixel 3XL, but after some researches I found a problem about muffled mic when using speakerphone, person at the other end cannot hear us talk.

I really want to try Pixel 3XL but I used to have this kind of problem before on Galaxy S9+ (mic perfectly works on every apps except when speaking on speakerphone). I love S9 but the muffle issue made me sold it.

Do many of you have this problem? I saw this is quite an unsolved cast posted on reddit. If you have this problem, doest the Jan2019 patch solve the issue?

I have had zero problems using the speakerphone on my P3XL. I use it all the time. I'm not saying the issue doesn't exist at all, but if it does it is very isolated hardware defect. I certainly wouldn't let it stop you from buying the phone. If the phone does not work perfectly upon receipt, you simply return it.

If you don't want that option appears you have to do a factory reset and never activate it I guess.

that's the same as disable it in About phone > Dev options, since it resets any modification (such as ADB Debugging).
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ccalixtro:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] portox:
If you are rooted:

1. use a file manager like Mixplorer

2. go to /data/system/users/0/

3. open settings_global.xml file in a text editor

4. search for "development_settings_enabled", it will find a line with value=1 (if you did enable dev options, obviously)

5. change the value to 0

6. reboot

Remember that before you change the line, you have to set all the settings you want, don't disable Dev Options, then follow the steps I said. Reboot and the settings you enabled before will keep, but Developers Options will hide.

If your device isn't rooted, unfortunately I can't help you.

I confirm it's working since I disabled animations and they kept disabled after reboot.
