[Nook Touch Android Development] nmyshkin:
Let's say--hypothetically, of course--that you did that. There are two ways around it.

1. If you rooted with the "traditional" or "stealth" versions of NookManager, you have ES File Explorer. You can use it to access the App Manager and remove the defaults from the "Launcher" (or "Home", or whatever). After doing this, a reboot will present you with the choices again. Screenshots for a likely sequence below.

2. A more general quick-and-dirty method that will work in any situation: install yet another launcher app. When you reboot, the activity picker will see a new option and give you your choices again. When you've got it right, just uninstall the additional launcher (which you never have to run for this method to work). Here's a link to another simple and relatively useless launcher that will fit the bill.

@nmyshkin have you ever seen an issue where CWM freezes on this step under opening update package... ?

i have left it on this step for 2-3 hours - im guessing it doesnt normally take this long ?

i also had the same problem in the exactt same place when i tried running the nook_1_2_update_US_CWM.zip region changer

any ideas on what i could try different to get working ? otherwise im stuck on a de-registered 1.2.1uk so my only option might be to nuke all b&n and go custom ereader route (which is probably fine tbh)
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
A couple of minutes is all it should take.

Check out the update using a desktop zip utility.

Does it look normal?
[Nook Touch Android Development] cyberboy666:
yeah it looks normal on my computer (im running popos although i cant see how that would change anything)

[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
Well, you can always do it semi-manually, at least you'll get feedback.

Extract META-INF\com\google\android\update-binary

Go to TWRP and use ADB to push both the (original) zip and the (extracted) update-binary somewhere useful.

Use ADB (you do have a rooted prompt?)

# chmod 755 update-binary
# ./update-binary 2 1 whatever.zip

You'll get text out of this and maybe figure out what the problem is.
[Nook Touch Android Development] nmyshkin:
Hmm...

Well, two things come to mind. First, the zip package is NOT an

update

. You're just supposed to choose "install zip from sdcard". So if you chose an update zip instead, that could be a problem, although I would expect CWM to say it couldn't find an update zip rather than just hang. At least that's what it has done with me before when I've made the wrong choice.

Second, since you have the same problem with the "region changer" zip, is it possible that your CWM card is bad? You might want to go straight to the source: https://xdaforums.com/t/nst-cwr-rc2-clockworkmod-based-recovery-fixed-backup-issue.1360994/. Either sdcard version should work fine, depending on the size of your card.

FWIW, these are the MD5 values for the various files in question, just in case you've got a file corruption problem somewhere:

2 gb CWM zip: 61a9cfea527a81e17c9b5bc751af27ce

128 gb CWM zip: 670bccc38737a722eaed75871bb36d35

Unofficial UK 1.2.2 FWzip: fbaaac9957483850cb723d46a518c064

Region changer zip: bca752409c8cc6da43658c7d537dfdf1
[Nook Touch Android Development] cyberboy666:
omg thanks ! yes i think issue was with CWM card - i flashed a new one from the link you gave and now it is working :D

and also thanks for the advice @Renate - i want to get set up/learn to send ADB anyway so this is helpful
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
Hmm, well, I didn't know that.

OTOH, you would have seen that you couldn't find an update-binary in that zip.
[Nook Touch Android Development] jewelie:
Another success, from UK 1.2.1 to your pseudo-UK 1.2.2.

It halted, as in your examples, after both wipes.

Great step-by-step instructions. Spot on. I wouldn't say I'm a complete novice at such things, but it's always great to have such detailed instructions to make sure I don't go and do something daft.

Thanks so much! Do you have any kind of buy-me-a-coffee link?

(Now to work out what my battery issues were, if they come back, 'cos I know from disassembling the hardware and testing the battery that it's not the battery!)
[Nook Touch Android Development] nmyshkin:
I'm glad it worked for you. That's my reward :)

Unless your glowlight is not turning off completely, I can't think of any other factor on a stock system that would drain the battery fast, barring some unknown hardware issue.

Hopefully this sorts it out.
[Nook Touch Android Development] jewelie:
👍😊

On top of the running an unregistered device, I've read that manually tapping the power button to force it to sleep can cause battery issues, which is what I had been doing. Other possibilities that have been suggested to me are corrupt books, and maybe having the WiFi off.

I did notice that the internal disk was seen by windows and Linux as having an fs error, and windows couldn't fix it. That actually persisted following the instructions you gave above, it seems it didn't actually wipe the 240Mb internal disk so some files and settings and of course the corruption remained, which was a surprise, so I an erase and deregister to go properly from scratch. That did clean in!

Device is now on sleep with wifi off and no books after the fresh start. I also hacked the cover I was using to make sure it wasn't touching the screens or buttons. It's at 79% now, let's see what the percentage goes to over the next few days...

EDIT: BTW The reason I know it's not the battery itself is because I disassembled it and tested the battery through a few 0.5A charge & discharge cycles and gave it a week to see if there was any significant self discharge - madly, it still has almost the full 1500mAh capacity - impressive for a device that's been going for 10yrs now!
[Nook Touch Android Development] nmyshkin:
I think this has been debunked in the distant past although I can't put my finger on the particular post.

That part is interesting and the initial result is not surprising. Unfortunately CWM cannot do a thorough wipe unlike, say, TWRP. A factory re-image is the most thorough cleaning I'm aware of, followed by the deregister/erase, then with CWM bringing up the rear. The reason I didn't include a factory re-image at the beginning of the process is that I wanted to keep it simple and not scare away those averse to anything approaching root. The 8-failed-boot-attempts method for a factory re-image is tremendously tedious and involves close timing and dexterity. OTOH, a NookManager card can initiate the process with the push of one hardware button. But that means making yet another card and flirting with the whole root thing (not necessary to root just to do the factory re-image).

The internal disk error may or may not have something to do with the battery drain. You'll find out. When I was doing a lot of testing with battery life a long time ago I found that a loss of 1% was typical overnight if the device was just sleeping. Of course, that's with whatever I had going on my system at the time.
[Nook Touch Android Development] cyadron:
@nmyshkin Thank you so much for the detailed guide.

I followed all the steps without any issue. I even got the freezing bug after clearing the Dalvik cache. But followed your steps, pressed on the power button twice and it restarted.

I used a 2Gb memory card and used the sd_2gb_clockwork-rc2.zip and I've written the image with WinImage 8.50.
[Nook Touch Android Development] jewelie:
I'm seeing about 3% drop (as seen in settings -> about) every two days, which sounds about in the right ball park?
[Nook Touch Android Development] nmyshkin:
I'd say so, especially if you've been doing any reading at all.
[Nook Touch Android Development] jewelie:
Update: It's over a month later, battery is still on 26%. Touch wood, it's fixed. THANK YOU! 😊👍
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Richi_Ric:
I have Purchased HTC Diamond a day before yesterday and I founded dat its loudspeaker volume is too, I can't even hear my ringtone in crowded place.... :confused:

I have used "AudioPara3_full_boost" it increased my diamond's volume, but it is still not so louder to hear my ringtone in my working place.....

Help Needed......
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] BDWN:
I don't think its a software problem, the speaker itself is probably just crap. Also the cover blocks some of the sound.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KukurikU:
ppl are complaining that the "boost" is too loud:D for u it is not enough?

maybe you should change yr working place:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pwhooftman:
You know that whn you use the volume up & down keys, u can use the left & right arrow on the screen to switch between system sound and ringtone sound level?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dusklord:
I have the same problem, even with the para file the speaker volume is too low!!

( system and call volume max )

Any ideas??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Richi_Ric:
Same Here, I Think We r facing hardware problem..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] flashmp3:
It is hardware problem. In fact i used a audiopara3 boosted. I get louder sound everywhere and with the speaker too. The problem is that when i pushed the volume to max I damaged my speaker so now when i receive call the caller voice has distortion cause the speaker is damaged so be careful and keep in mind the volume is so low because the hardware doesn't follow

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] SurferNerd6987:
So I went to a Zagg store today and had my outer screen protector replaced, it was toast but lasted a while. I had them also drop the 3DO custom on the back.

But here's the question, has anyone put a protector on the plastic fold trim that says Samsung. I've got one nick on it, and wondering if the mechanism has the tolerance to apply a PET plastic to it. I've seen some on Amazon, any luck, does it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] steveroysston:
I don't think there is a protector for that place because it'll be difficult to open and close the phone. The plastic protector will make it hard to fold the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
I sure a skin on the hinge of my ZF2 and now my ZF3. It doesn't interfere at all. It's just a thin clear skin like a screen protector.

By the way, the hinge isn't plastic. It's aluminium.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] snapper.fishes:
On the silver Fold 3 the hinge is glossy silver, so I think it's actually stainless steel.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
Nope. It's aluminium. Samsung made a big deal about the frame and hinge being made of their new "armor aluminum."

Aluminum is also silver, and can be shiny/glossy with either a clear coat or being anodized.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] SurferNerd6987:
Wow, if it's metal it sure feels like plastic. The gloss paint on it picks up micro scratches like crazy.

Here is how I easily send all my Mp3s directly to the Storage Card of my HTC Touch Pro using the Mediamonkey application.

1.	Connect the phone using active sync (not disk mode). Do this before opening Mediamonkey in order for the application to correctly identify the phone

2.	Open Mediamonkey

3.	Create a Library of songs in your PC (duh)

4.	Use the Mediamonkey to organize/edit/add artwork to your songs.

5.	Select any number of songs you need to send to the phone and right click. Select the option “Send to …” and “Storage Card (Synchronize)”

6.	Soft reset the phone. This is for the “Music” TF3D application to identify the songs

It worked for me every time. The “Music” TF3D application now shows all songs with artwork and all.

First, I want to say my 6p was stuck in 5G and did not give me any choices to toggle it to anything else. Is this the norm -or- do I currently have a bug / glitch in my software.

.

I have the toggle "Use SIM" turned 'on'. I think I had a service select ten days ago. Maybe. I do not have a service selection now. Hmm, the other day, I had to re-do the whole phone setup to acquire an unlocked boot loader ( and its nasty a$$ start up message ). I am in a cell service dead zone. Sob. Boo Hoo Hoo. What can I do, I can't move.

.

Opened up a support ticket with the mountain people, { Support Inquiry: Case ID [8-8481000031771] } and they have not gotten back to me. So, I googled the problem and found . . . . . . .

"open phone dialer and type in * # * # 4636 # * # * then tap on "phone information", You should be able to change "Set network preferred type"." . . . . in the middle is a 'drop down', and there is a BIG list of twenty things that I do not understand ! . . . and the second item on the list had the word 'LTE' in its description.

.

Nowhere on this phone does it currently say I'm running 4G / LTE. Got two bars at the top. I think its two, they're so small to look at. Bought an app in the play store. Its nice ! Very nice and has a map also in it besides a lot of tech data I don't understand and can't use . . . The app is : Network Cell Info. It shows six towers all around me and too far away . . .

You should also be able to switch between 5g, LTE, 3g etc by booting to safe mode.

With the method you used the string you want for LTE is:

LTE/CDMA/EVDO/GSM/WCDMA (PRL)

For 5g:

NR/LTE/CDMA/EVDO/GSM/WCDMA

For 3g:

GSM/WCDMA preferred

For 2g:

GSM only

Went into safe mode. Um, no dropdown. That makes sense because the mode does not know about a SIM.

Well you have to go into network settings and activate the network connection. The network is off by default in safe mode, but you can turn it on.
