[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Well I do understand why you want to do things the way you do. And just in case you may have not seen it. You can go all the way back to original by using NVFlash and the original images made way back a whole month ago. (Seems longer than that). I have done it a couple times while messing around with things that didn't work. Here is a little something I wrote up about how to do it..

http://forum.tegratab.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8

I didn't know what to think when I read your #2 comment. I am not an expert by any means but is it really that bad to have to ask?:D

"2. I'm not new to computers or OSes, but I am new to Android. There is a certain learning advantage in doing the various procedures -- the negative being that that makes me have to ask people like you for the little details I need."

Anyway, hope it helped..
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Number two is nothing except that I am pretty independent and usually I am the one doing the helping -- and I just dislike bothering other people for basic info.

One of my dislikes about the G-Tablet and Android is that there are not many really good "user" books available. Lots of Android programming books, but none that just tell how it works and what to do for common tasks, etc. And what can I say about the G-Tablet manual. It does a credible job of describing the hardware, but I wish they had a few chapters on basic operation.

Well, I guess some of this is just griping so I'll shut up.

P. S. -- Is there any particular version of "AndRootFile" that will work better than the others?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I think androot is the same. The supported list is likely just stuff they have tested it with. I usually use Root Explorer myself. Androot is free, Root Explorer costs a couple dollars but is easier to use, and more capable. I also use a file manager named Es File Explorer. It is free in the market and once you get the hang of how it works it can be used on the lan to move stuff between your pc and tablet, extract zip files, etc.

I don't know if there will ever be a good manual for Android. From what I can tell it is kind of a free for all out there. Does not seem there are very many real solid standards but there sure are a lot of variations.

I think most of the hardware for sale now is not really made by any of the companies with there name on it. The G tablet is sold by 3-4 different companies, just named differently. Seems they are at the mercy, and so are we of how well they can communicate what they want fixed to a company in another country. I wish there was a company that built a tablet in house that was open with the customers. Would sure make bug fixes, and feature changes easier. As it stands, they are happy to sell whatever they get.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Everyone.

You can close this thread as far as I am concerned. I worked with adapting a stock machine until I simply got tired of it. I have converted to TnT 2.20 at this time and am pleased so far. I will write more about the experience when I have time.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taylor162:
Okay so i gave up half way in my attempt to get the data2sd and its seriously messed up my phone! I cant boot, and in recovery cant flash anything or mount anything as it says;

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

This means i cant restore my nandroid or do anything!

Ive tried flashing an RUU without success!

Any ideas?

I can access recovery, but thats about it!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
It says it can't mount your sdcard...try formatting it.

Backup your nand backups from it first.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Might be worth using a PB99IMG.zip from an RUU to go back to stock and then try again
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragooon123:
Is your recovery a permanent flash(unrevoked) or a temporary flash? If its a permanent flash, turn off your phone. Take out your SD Card and format it in a computer(FAT32), then it should be able to mount it. Then flash a ROM, get unrevoked again and flash Amon Ra's recovery. In there partition your SD Card(Its the easiest method IMO) and install a ROM with data2SD(Or install d2sd yourself, its very easy).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taylor162:
ive tried a different sd card so i dont think its that, im gonna try the PB99IMG thing..... do i just but it on the sd card and it will run from bootloader?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Yep, put it on the root of the SD card and turn on into HBOOT and it'll find the file and ask if you want to continue
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taylor162:
I flashed it but not i just get a boot loop, i can access recovery but i cant apply update zip, i get the same error message.

Any ideas?!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
So the PB99IMG.zip flashed - you don't do it through recovery, obviously - and now you're on a boot loop or just stuck at the HTC screen?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mykeldrip:
there is a program....hold on ill find it brb.....

FOUND IT!

http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/

it is called Visionary r14 and while its not 1 click it did mine in 2!

load on phone click temproot

also make sure usb debuggin is checked!!

then after it temp roots open up app again and click attempt perm root now

viola! thats all i did and been running roms ever since! hope that helps!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
That might also brick your phone... you should get insurance on your phone then its only a 130 dollar brick :) but seriously use the rage method or use the new real root/sim unlock. Its stickied in the dev section. Its about as easy as it can be.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
I've never been excited about one-touch root methods. One small thing goes wrong, a glitch in the program or something and boom, dead phone. At least the other way if I brick it, it's my fault.

I'm practicing adb in preparation for the rooting of my phone, I'm aiming for a late December root.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Sounds sensible to me, I think the rage method is a lot better, at least you're in control over what it's doing and can see every step.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clamman:
yea i would love a one quick root im a newbe but would like to root this phone
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnguyen1988:
Like shortlived and stevie said just try the rage method its fairly simple. Just take some time to learn how to use adb and then it'll be a breeze. Also adb is almost a necessity when it comes to rooting/modding android phones. Also if u get stuck or confused bout anything there are plenty of useful threads just search lol good luck
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
Adb is very simple. All you need to know for the rage method is "adb push" if you can open a cmd window on your pc, learn a few dos commands like "cd" and "cd.." then your all set. There are some very good guides to get you set up with adb just check the stickies. And good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguyen925:
Just use visionary r14 to temp root. then look through the overclocking thread and find the GScript method of Overclocking. I permanently rooted my first g2 and then the sd card gave out on me and I sent in it for warranty. Idk if they checked to see if its rooted or not but I haven't been charged. The only issue with perma rooting the g2 is the fact that if you screw up they can see if you've tampered with it and if you've only temp rooted it, from what I understand, the temp root is much safer but you have to root it every time you reset your phone (turning it back on from an off state). small price to pay imo. GL though!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Get over your fear, read over the instructions, and root using rage. It took me a half-hour to root my phone, and that was the first thing I did when I got it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivlac978:
I think the new easiest way is gfree? I haven't done it because I was already permrooted. It also should unlock your phone (sim, radio, some other thing I don't remember.)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
There is a video that walks you thru rooting with VISIONary r14. I followed the video and worked perfectly. Just a note I unistalled my version of VISIONary first then followed there video on temp-rooting first and then onto perm-rooting. I bricked my first G2, got it replaced and was scared to try again, but if followed there videos and worked out perfect, now running CyanogenMod 6.1 rc4 and my phone is super charged. heres the links thanks to dcogen:

Then this to gain permanent root:

Then this to flash a recovery and load a custom ROM:

And here's how to completely unroot for good measure :

http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/01/how...g2-htc-vision/

Note: I was running stock OTA updated rom, rebooted to un-temproot, installed VISIONARY r14 from MODACO's website and followed the videos to the tee(first temproot video, even though I already knew how to temp root, I followed exactly what they did in the video to temp root. second Perm rooted following the video, then installed custom ROM per video), I used the link in the perm root video to download the wpthis.ko file and the hboot.img

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luis86dr:
SuperCID, SIMUnlock, Radio S-Off is the new Permroot. Its actuallty true permroot. Those of you who think your permrooted technically arent. You just have a "hacked" Hboot. Doing the gfree method allows you to

1: Flash pc10img (stock rom) without the whole hex editing process and also flash roms from another carrier.

2: Your sim is unlocked (maybe wont matter for some of you but its nice to have for travel)

3: S-off, need I say more.

When flashing back to stock you also keep S-Off and do not lose it via gfree and from what I'm hearing soon there will be a way to revert back to S-On via gfree. Just incase we need to send our phones back in for any reason. Cant leave any trail of evidence. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urfavoritemazn:
many thanks

finally got the courage and did it. now running cyanogen. thanks so much guys.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Sorry that's not right. SuperCID/SIM Unlock/Radio S-OFF doesn't have anything to do with perm root. Yes, this is the new way of totally unlocking your phone, but you can be full perm rooted and still have radio S-ON.

Seems to be that some people use the term "permanent root" to refer to a full unlock rather than just the rooting ability itself (i.e. run as the root user).

I think what you means to say is that those you who think you are S-OFF without running gfree technically aren't, you've got an engineering hboot which makes it look like S-OFF.

Most surely the iPhone uses a recording coder that aint recognized by your Aria. h.264 mayhap? Use a video conversion tool or select another format in the iPhone.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] dandrumheller:
Ran into this as well. I haven't messed with it since right after I got the Aria, and am going on memory here, but here's what I did IIRC:

download the file to the Aria from your email app. Use a file manager app to browse to the iphone video file (I used astro at the time) and rename the file - change the extension from whatever it was (.mov I think) to .mp4 Try playing the file in the stock media player.

I had mixed success with doing this...not sure if it's due to varyiing settings being used on the iphone sending the video, or the means by which it's sent, or something else.

Final solution was to get my wife a Captivate :-)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClarkusJay:
Ill try to keep this brief, as I am disappointed that I couldn't solve it myself! I am on Tmobile USA, with an HD2 Leo. I'm currently running KBWR 6.5 rom, with MattC Leo froyo android, latest build. I just loaded this rom and OS today, where about two months ago I first did Miri6.5 rom and Darkstone froyo 2.2. The Darkstone build never had working 3g, so I finally ditched it.

Problem now is, I first booted the phone on this new setup today, and was on the "edge" network, but not 3g. Now, for no apparent reason, I have no net connectivity. Also, I do experience the "sleep of death" once in a while. Not cool. Any ideas? I did not change radios, as calls were perfect, and like I said, the edge network was running fine, and I'm ok with just that.

Like I said, PLEASE help me =$

Anyone figured out how to add sideloaded books on the 3 homescreens ? currently only stuff bought from the B&N store can go on the homescreens. Maybe some sort of hack ?

I can hope right ?
[Nook Color General] mad5427:
That is my only gripe about this device. I really wanted some control over the home page. I understand why they did it, but it just bothered me.

I have installed ADW as a new home screen and am looking for a copy of Launcher Pro to try as well as an alternate to the stock home screen. I also loaded Astro in the hope that I can somehow get individual books and folders on the home screen. The good thing is that you don't lose any of the main BN features at the bottom of the screen. I was able to put the library as an app on the home screen which works for now.

If anybody knows how to do this, I'd love to find out. It's my last hurdle to this being a perfect machine for me.
[Nook Color General] gormly:
I originally wanted this as well, but since I rooted, I no longer want it or need it.

I installed LauncherPro and choose to use that as my defacto Home, so I never see the original B&N setup home screen.

Now I can place apps there or anything else. To me, apps are more important than seeing my book covers on the home screen. The only drawback is that I have to go to the library to see my books, but hey, it's a small price to pay.

My advice is this:

If you want to install apps and not just your books on the "home" screen, root the NC and go with LauncherPro or an equivilent.

If you want the original B&N experience and want to sideload your non B&N books then wait until someone comes up with a method, as far as I know, it isn't a priority at the moment.

But rest assured, someone will figure it out.
