well i play it, but not online.

i have a pirate version, and can't get it to work online.
[Off-topic] jeallen0:
if its a cracked version, and you get patches installed up to 1.7 as well as getting PB installed up to current... you should be able to play on cracked servers... and honestly, almost all active servers nowdays allow for cracked clients to connect... my server does, and almost every server i play on does... im legit though. if you are interested in playing, shoot me a PM and ill be willing to help get you up to speed and running.

So I looked into z4root on the market and what is the difference between temporary root and permanent root ( I know the difference between temp and permanent ) just would like to know what they do differently to the phone.. also if I root is it necessary to back up with titanium?
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
Temporary root is going to root your phone for "1 session". Or in other words -you hit "temp root" and Z4 will root your phone. But when you reboot- you will no longer be rooted. Now- if you download apps from the market the require root access- those apps are not going to disappear when you reboot your phone- but you will not be able to use them until you root again with Z4.

Permanent root means that when you reboot your phone you will retain root. It does not mean that your phone will be permanently rooted. Z4 has an unroot button (i believe) so if you ever have warranty issues- you unroot and uninstall any root applications before having the phone serviced (or do he infamous sbf).

If you root your phone you do not have to use Titanium backup. Titanium backup backs up applications and their data only (both system apps and user apps). Titanium does not create a "nandroid", or a full complete restorable back up copy of your entire phone. To do that you use another app. You can search the market for Droid X Bootstrap Recovery. You use that app to boot into recovery and create a nandroid of your phone.

But you don't have to do any back ups at all if you don't want. But the good thing about having a back up is if you mess something up- you can restore to a functioning copy. If you screw something up and dont have a back up- you have to perform the sbf. If you don't know how to do that then you would have to make a visit to Verizon so they could restore the phone for you.

Sorry for the long post -especially if you knew all that already.
[Droid X General] hullie10:
No no that helped alot man... thanks...so I dled rom manager and all what next just download the rom and im good to go?
[Droid X General] hullie10:
Also how do you create a nandroid backup?
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
Ok - first of all - be careful. I don't want to sound preachy or condescending- but I don't want you to brick your $500 phone either.

1. Make your nandroid back up before you install any rom. If you can get that figured out, then you are on your way. It took me a while just to figure out how to work that app.

2. I guess a lot of people install rom's through rom manager (obviously). I never install roms from there. I download them from there- but I do not install from there. I use the Bootstrap recovery app to install rom's. That is just the way I do it. All the real clear instructions were through Bootstrap app so that's how I went about it.

Not sure if you figured out the Bootstrap recovery app yet and I was real confused by it so here is my best run down from memory...

1. open it.

2. hit "bootstrap recovery". You will get a "success" dialog box and you hit ok. If you don't get it something has gone haywire.

3. Hit "reboot recovery". Your phone will reboot into a funky green screen that renders your touchscreen inoperable. So you have to navigate the screen with your hardware buttons.

the volume rocker is for cursor up/down

the red camera button is for select or enter

the back button will take you back a screen (so when you have done what you need to do -hit the back button until you get back to page 1 and you can "reboot now").

here is another hint about recovery that has messed a few people up. some of the rom instructions tell you to "...go to 'mounts and storage', mount data, wipe cache..." (actually I just visited a few rom threads and it looks like they have cut this confusing step out) -well if it says 'mount data' it means that you have to mount it - not that it already is. If the data is mounted it will actually read "unmount data". Like I said -very confusing to me - but it looks like this is a non-issue for the most part now.

also i would advise you of this - DO NOT USE a rom based on the brand new leak. That is just my advice. Lot's of people are - but there is no safety net there. There is no sbf for the new leaked stuff. Stick with roms based on 2.3.15 ota. again- just my .02. I guess a lot of people would advise you not to root and not to flash a rom at all - so in the end you got to do what you want.

I loved the Rubix series roms. I never used his "blurry" versions but did use 1.0, 1.6, 1.8.6 Focused. But found that I actually like roms that used the blur framework-res.apk because they just seem to work better. So I am using Apex 1.2 for 2.3.15 and really like it.

So- there is some more info for you.

I appreciate your help but once I use bootstrap...what/how do i do what I'm supposed to do

Thanks alot man I flashed zapx bazinga 1.6 on my phone with your help and some luck of mine.... I made a nandroid of my phone this morning cuz I got bored in class and decided to just go for it.... and then I dled the zip file and put it on my sd card... used astro to make sure it was there... only for it not to show up when I wanted to load the zip file... while sweating bullets I restored my phone... and then put the zip file in a folder I created and did it again but I made sure I could find it while in recovery before I proceeded...... phew
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
good for you man. If zapX doesn't work out for you - or if you want to try something different - I can recommend the Apex rom, it has been very stable. Just make sure you dl the correct version. There is a version for the leak and a version for stock 2.2.
[Captivate General] 00goat:
Greetings all... new to the forum, but I've already gotten a ton of good info here, so I'm hoping someone can offer a theory on the problem I'm having.

My Captivate is mostly stock (2.1). I had no real trouble getting through rooting the device, and I've got openvpn connecting to my network over 3g with no issues.

The problem is that I can't actually access the webserver on my network that the setup is intended for. The goal is to pull up a web app from the phone without having to open my (sloppy, insecure) webserver to the net. The captivate pulls a valid ip, and I can actually ping the server in question, but when I attempt to open the page in the browser it times out.

I've noticed that openvpn shows an up/down speed after it connects, and on one occasion I noticed it was fairly fast (don't recall the numbers, I just glanced at it). Recently I've been paying more attention to it and it's talking like .02kb/s, which would probably be too slow to be useful.

So aside from all the people trying to make openvpn work, is anyone actually *using* it once they get it working? It seems like the browser is seeing the alternate route, because my history at least shows the page name, but I get "the server failed to communicate" in a dialog, and web page not available in the browser.

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
[Captivate General] connexion2005:
I use VPN over 3G to RDP to servers so I'm sure speed isn't the whole issue. Unless you set the DNS servers using ADB Shell or a Terminal from within the phone, any non-outward facing URL will not be resolved. If you know the ip address of that host, plug it in the address in place of the name and let me know if that works. Also depending on the what the web app uses, the regular browser may or may not load it. If it's Share Point based at all, use Fennec as the browser.

[Palm Treo Pro Accessories] ruben__:
Hi everybody,

As you maybe already know the Treo Pro doesn't function well with a lot of headsets out there but I found one which is pretty okay for music, has good build quality and works properly!

Jabra Rhytm

I bought them for €34,99 which is pretty okay because now I can use this one also for my music. I do find that the Sennheiser buds does fit a bit better in the ear, but the Jabra's are good as well.

I also noticed when you plug some headsets all the way in the treo's jack and you hear this sort of 'under water noise' when you play music, the headset won't work properly and if that's not the case you can use 'm.

Hope this helps!

Okay i have a dilemma, here's the short version..

I'm a music writer and i usually use my phone to compose/write the lyrics to my songs. I made the mistake of composing a note on a notepad program (don't remember which, i just know it was a good one from the market). Well, that was my first mistake; write something on a build i was basically test driving. I installed androidlock and after rebooting the screen stayed black, buttons worked, people could call me etc etc basically a working phone except the androidlockscreen app kept the screen from starting up.

Here is my request; Can anyone show me a way to open up a Android Data.IMG file so i can extract that piece of writing that's so important to me? i just need that one document.

I'm running Windows 7 x64 and Dual Booting Ubuntu 10.04 so if linux is needed, obviously i have that covered. Please step by step, I'd donate to who ever help's me as soon as i get my paycheck

[Nook Color Android Development] pokey9000:
Now that we have our own forum, time to stake a claim.

Nooter is an image that's loaded to a microSD card that can boot the Nook Color into a basic Linux environment. It automatically enables adb and turns off ro.secure on bootup, so no interaction is necessary to get root. Nooter sets up the USB port as a USB ethernet device (RNDIS) compatible with most modern OSes to allow SSH logins. From there the ROM can be dumped, partitions mounted and edited, and (hopefully someday) bricks debricked.

Get it here: Nooter 0.2.

Up-to-date directions at http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting

Changes

0.1

first release

0.2

replaced composite CDC USB device with RNDIS. This should "just work" under most XP and later Windows

add ext2tools, dosfstools, util-linux for manual flash disk reformatting

Thanks to [mbm] for the root procedure, kernel config, and not sleeping; KCHASE731 for dissecting his NC for vital clues about the hardware config; and the rest of #nookdevs
[Nook Color Android Development] jasoraso:
If we've already rooted with Nooter v.01, and are using windows, is there any harm in rooting again with Nooter v.02?

Oh, and THANKS!
[Nook Color Android Development] pokey9000:
Both versions will write the file to turn on adb every time they boot, but will only patch the ramdisk if it hasn't been done already. There's no difference in the rooting procedure from 0.1 and 0.2, just the tools for people wanting to get a shell outside of Android.
[Nook Color Android Development] ryoojin83:
Not working for me

I must have done something wrong, but my NC just boots like normal, it never boots off the microSD card.

I am using Ubuntu Maverik.

I install the SD card while the nook is powered down and then I plug the USB cable to the computer, which automatically starts the NC, but it just boots in the OS like normal. after the NC boots, it will connect the sd card and flash memory like normal, and show the nooter02 sd contents.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: OK, figured it out, I used mmcblk0p1, instread of mmcblk0
[Nook Color Android Development] occip:
Yesss !delivered

Hi

I receive my NC today !. It's great nooter 0.2 is awesome for two points :

it gives root access and ...

It demonstrates that the overclock is possible, because the uImage/u-boot force the clock to 1Ghz and it's working well :)

[Nook Color Android Development] boret:

[Nook Color Android Development] pokey9000:
Heh, I never even checked! I used the config for the Zoom3 sdk (OMAP3630 like the DX) for x-loader and u-boot and I guess that's where that gets set.

We should have BN's sources for both soon enough, and it will be a very easy change to the stock bootloader to get 1GHz in Android.
[Nook Color Android Development] weiln12:
Um, help? I'm following the directions and I'm familiar with the mmcblk0 from my multiple phones, but I don't understand how that applies here. I'm using Maverick and get the same thing you do...it just boots normally.

[Nook Color Android Development] bobdude5:
are you using a dedicated microsd reader or your phone or the nook itself to flash the image?
[Nook Color Android Development] daveknights:
I just confirmed that nooter broke the NC's in-store features, such as read any book for up to 1 hour per day. Any chance of looking into this?
[Nook Color Android Development] pokey9000:
All Nooter does is set a flag to turn on adbd and turn off the root lockdown flag. Either the BN app checks that root or adbd aren't enabled, or the ramdisk is signed and the process of unpacking, changing the security flag, and repacking the ramdisk screws up the signature. You could try copying the ramdisk.img from partition 3 over uRamdisk in partition 1, which would unroot but leave adbd running, and see if that re-enables the store features. Of course, you'd have no root, but if you just want basic apps then that might be enough.

along with my copy and paste. anyone know where this last line come from.

Also about this part of the process with rooting

Once the devices show up, wait another 30 seconds while the script makes the changes to enable ADB. (ADB will be available after you reboot into Android)

is it 30 sec or 5 min's I have read hear on the XDA boards it is 5 mins to enable ADB. It is hard to tell cause nothing really happens.

Once rooted is there a firmware (#) difference i can check to see if it worked

This is the 2nd time i am posting this as before i got no answers
[Nook Color Android Development] ruze:
I've been trying this for up to 2 mins, both with Windows and Mac and I'm kinda sure the root isn't working for me. I just received the NC, so is it possible B&N updated over the weekend in response to the news?

Is there a way to check version of firmware/bootloader/etc?

EDIT: Ok got it working amazingly. I uninstalled the driver (Android ADB Interface) and checked the delete files option. When I rescanned it found it and installed the correct drivers under W7.
[Nook Color Android Development] jsmith.nook:
pokey9000, is the uRamdisk.bak file on partition 1 something nooter created or is that a how the stock NC comes? and if nooter creates it, would deleting uRamdisk and renaming uRamdisk.bak to uRamdisk unroot the NC just like copying the ramdisk.img file over from partition 3?

do you have any documentation on what else (specific files) nooter modifies?

would it be possible to unroot a NC without doing a factory reset?
[Nook Color Android Development] jsmith.nook:
I had to do the same exact procedure to get a Win7 machine to talk with my NC over ADB.
[Nook Color Android Development] pokey9000:
Nooter modifies the default.prop to allow root in uRamdisk after copying the original to uRamdisk.bak. Then it creates /data/property/persist.service.adb.enable to turn on adb. So copying uRamdisk.bak to uRamdisk and deleting /data/property/persist.service.adb.enable will put things back to normal. But you'll still have app specific content in /data/app, /data/dalvik.cache, /data/data, anything you do to /system, etc.
[Nook Color Android Development] jsmith.nook:
Would modifying default.prop to enable adb there, rather than create the property file, also work? Or does that have no effect?

From NookDevs

For Mac Users:

* Open a terminal window.

* Find which drive the sd card is mapped to: type in the terminal this:

diskutil list

* Be very careful to identify the SD card and not your hard disk. Be VERY careful.

* Now unmount that drive typing this:

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk#

(My computer is was disk2 replace # with your number.)

* The computer should say: Unmount of all volumes on disk<#> was successful

dd if=auto-nooter-2-12-15.img of=/dev/rdisk# bs=1m

* -- FOR 1.0.0 FIRMWARE

dd if=auto-nooter-2.12.25.img of=/dev/rdisk# bs=1m

* -- FOR 1.0.1 FIRMWARE

Everything needed should copy right over to the card.

* WARNING: This will completely erase your microSD card. Be sure to back it up!

Not booting

I created the files on the microSD and I am able to see the four files on the SD when using my computer. I then plug the SD into the Nook after totally powered off. Then plug the USB - Nook into my computer. The nook then after several seconds to do a normal boot. T

When I read the SD after the above, it now has folders B&N Downloads, Lost.dir and My Files. So the nook is talking to the SD.

Guess the problem is with the 4 files are not being seen by the nook? (MLO, UImage, etc.)
