[Nook Color General] gormly:
I have sucessfully rooted my nook and I can load apks from dropbox, installers or via adb so I am a happy camper, all is good....

But I got greedy. The ComicViewer doesn't work well without menu keys so I decided to install softkeys.apk and that is where the trouble started, something is amiss.

I am not an expert here, just a novice, so forgive my patchwork explanation.

Here's what I know and what I did, maybe someone can spot my error?

I can fully access adb.

I remember installing SuperUser and SU using the commands:

# adb shell

# cd /system/bin

# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

# cat /data/local/su > su

# chmod 6755 su

# ls -l su

And all was fine, SuperUser shows up in the drawer. Then I tried installing SoftKeys and it never showed up or worked.

So I figured I fubared the SuperUser install somehow or have an old version of SU or SuperUser. So I downloaded the most recent versions and went to uninstall the original with uninstall utilities and it's not listed in any of them, so I tried using adb (adb shell ls /data/app) and it's still not in the list.

I even reset the Nook to factory and rooted again with nooter and when I tried to install SuperUser again (downloaded the latest version here on the forum) it said "Install Failed already exists!"

So I cannot uninstall the SuperUser or overwrite it with a newer version, and a factory reset doesn't fix it?? :confused:

I cannot use any root utilities like SuperUser or z4root, SuperUser has all blank screens and I cannot update it and 4zroot just doesn't seem to do anything but reboot the nook.

Titanium Backup says I don't have root access and other utilities say the same thing,

I can mount system partition as read-write

> adb shell

# mount -o remount rw /system

# exit

That works...

So I tried the commands again to install SuperUser and SU and when I try to install SU

# cd /system/bin

# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

are OK but when I do:

# cat /data/local/su > su

I get:

Cannot create su: remote access failed

I have also tried a few other things that seem to be available to root users and all come back with write or access errors.

What could I be doing wrong?

Note: I also tried to do a full wipe by using that Power and Volume Down and nothing happens...
[Nook Color General] Mistar Muffin:
Power the nook on and off immediately 8 times until it does a full factory reset. When I've done the Power+VolUp+Nook button reset it doesn't always seem to do a FULL reset. When the nook fails to boot 8 times it does a different reset that takes a good deal longer and (at least in my experience) seems to be the real deal.
[Nook Color General] mhoepfin:
z4root will work and install superuser for you.
[Nook Color General] gormly:
I have already mentioned that that did not work, but thanks for the suggestion anyway.
[Nook Color General] gormly:
Ok, something VERY weird is going on.

I have reset it to factory twice

Each time I did it by powering on and off 8 times in a row

The first time after it indicated it was updating th software, it went into a stuck at NookColor Logo boot loop again.

The second time I left in the nooter microSD card and it booted properly.

But it booted to a "clean" system with all my programs.

All my settings and data was gone, but all my apks were still installed.

:confused::confused:

So what exactly did it reset? Just data?

I tried to get it to flash both ways, the quick (power/home/volume) and now twice with the 8 power cycles. Neither reset the Nook entirely.

Am I screwed?

I want to go back to factory to fix this thing

EDIT:

Looks like I am locked out of the system entirely, none of my apps work, some of them come back and say no write access.

I cannot do an app listing like:

adb shell ls /data/app

I get:

opendir failed, Permission denied

I can't do a simple mount

mount -o remount rw /system

I get:

mount: operation not permitted
[Nook Color General] axe2:
This should help you with what type of reset you want to do. I think you should do another 8 power on/off reset followed by a power-up-home reset to get it fully reset.
[Nook Color General] gormly:
I tried that...

Now it's completely dead.

Won't power up at all.

It had plenty of battery life left and plugging it in will not boot it either...

:(
[Nook Color General] axe2:
Well that's a bummer! Maybe something went wrong in one of the resets. Did they seem to complete? If it's not a hardware problem you should still be able to revive it via nooter. I would suggest PMing pokey9000 and see if he can walk you through a recovery. You might be the first near brick that requires running some of the recovery commands by hand. I think Pokey9000 knows the most about that.
[Nook Color General] gormly:
Yea, but it won't respond to anything, it won't boot meaning no power at all.

It's just completely black screen.

Nothing I do does anything.
[Nook Color General] norkoastal:
Whatever you do make sure the battery is getting charged somehow.. Try to leave it plugged into the wall or in a usb. Does the computer see the device when plugged in? HAve you tried to remove the SD card from the NC while powering up?
[Nook Color General] gormly:
Yep tried all those things...very frustrating afternoon so far :(

However...I did get it to boot.. here is how:

Press and hold the power button while inserting the USB charger connected to a computer, continue to hold (I think it was 10 seconds or so).

I remember doing this to reset a device a long time ago, not sure what.

But it worked, not only that but I was able to do a pwer/up/home rest and this time it completely wiped the nook. It looks like I am back to factory!

:D

YES!!

Thanks for alll the help and suggestions guys. Hopefully this struggle will help someone else in the future.
[Nook Color General] johnopsec:
OK. This time around, do this:

(1) nooter

(2) use ADB to enable Non-Market Apps

(3) use ADB to enable multitouch

(4) Use ADB to push z4root over to the NC

(5) Run z4root and do a full-root (whatever is NOT the "temp" option)

(6) Use ADB to install Astro

(7) Use ADB or Astro to install a market

(8) Install the rest of your apps however you choose.
[Nook Color General] gormly:
I did 1,2,3,6,7,8 and in place of 4/5 I used the most recent version of SU and SuperUser and all is good on my Nook! Not sure what happened before but it must have been a bad version of su or superuser. In any case, all seems fine, only Titanium doesn't work, all the rest of the root requesting apps work fine.

Thanks!

and i want to try a new theme, ive downloaded the theme injector and all that stuff. I understand how to install it BUT: if i theme my cm6 will the phone act like i installed a new rom and will i have to do all settings and homescreens again? or will all my settings contacts and apps still be on the same place just with a different appearance?:)

if you want me to explain better, let me know!

Don't know if this is in the right forum but i had to flash back to stock with odin now i can't download from the app. I have a samsung captivate SGH-I897 all it says is starting download, i've been trying to download an app for 4 days. My wifi connection is excellent so i can't see why it isn't downloading. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Try clearing the market's app data in the phone's settings.
[Captivate General] fallguy7822:
Where is the market app data?
[Captivate General] fallguy7822:
I've found how to do it but it's still not downloading, does it have anything to do with that when i unlocked my phone my imei changed.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Clear the data of Download Manager.
[Captivate General] fallguy7822:
ok i did that but it still not working just did a search and found out thats the reason why. Since my imei changed i can't download from the appstore is there anway to change it back to the origional
[Android Apps and Games] itskapil:
I just spotted a new and very promising android app, "windows phone android lite". But I could not download it from the market. It's a free app but maybe it's restricted to US.

If anyone can download and upload it here, I would appreciate!

Or better give download links to mediafire / multiupload..

Thanks!

Okay, i am very much glad you like the app. But the fact is that I haven't been able to use it since it seems it is not available in android market at my region, whether or not I go thru appbrain or not.

So plz upload it anywhere for me and let me know.

Can't resist trying it out, even if it falls short of a good launcher. And it's under development too, so let's hope it gets only better and the best!

Oops! It ain't working on my phone, Samsung Galaxy S. Maybe, the dev hasn't made it compatible to SGS and that's the reason I was unable to download it. Time to let it go as for now!

Cool Cool

I'll give it a try since I was WM for a long time. I'll never go back and now don't have to.

I LOVE how the 7 got me in the gsm store to try and try it out. Though the rep talked it up so much and showed me his 7 device I never got a chance to play with it. SO I really hope the (blue) rep saw me rip his card and toss it into the garbage can out side the store window. I hate (blue) with a passion from years ago and our work phone lines are always going down. Woot Woo for this app lolz

I'm not really keen on the new 7 lay out, to bland. Also I bought zune home. So I'm not sure I'll even keep the light version on my device or buy the full version?

The link is also on there so do not make any more links pls. It's hard enough to support the app as is. We don't need to support cross versions. Currently it's on 1.1.2 on lite and 1.1.1 on regular.

Anyone else get this after updating to 2.2 today, or ever?

When I try either Vlingo or Google Voice search over Bluetooth all I get is bad feedback. it's like the speaker on the phone or the mic is not being disabled.

Anyone else experience this? it's quite annoying.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Videonut:
I haven't tried vlingo or google voice but I have used the bluetooth dialing in 2.2 on JK3 and JK4 andit sucks even with one of the best quality headsets, Plantronics Voyager Pro, in semi noisy enviroments, driving a truck and van.

If the dialer doesn't just get the wrong name, sometimes it tries to take your voice input and create some bizzare digits to dial. At least when I used WM6 and Microsofts voice dialer it told you what it heard and then you could say no or cancel and it would stop. NOT this dialer. It'll just dial away whatever it thinks you said.

1 trick might be to make sure every number has a mobile and landline number, then at least it would ask you which to dial, at which point you could say cancel.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] groaner:
i'd be happy if it heard anythign. all I get is BAD feedback.

i reinstalled the app and will try again, but if it's happening with both google and vlingo reinstalling vlingo won't help.

I'll also try re-pairing...hopefully that's all that's needed.

Hello i need some help

Im using Windows 7 64 bit.. and befor all was fine now from some time i see there have some problem and i cant understand why...

I have Blackstone and when i do Disc Drive mode for "Faster" Transfer is very very slow LOL.. at 1st i was thinking that my SD card is the problem but i use the same SD card from 2 years and never had problem like this befor.. also few times i FORMAT the SD card and etc but again the problem is the same from 1-2 weeks even the Active Sync is faster than Disc Drive yesterday when i do format my SD card i try to put back around 3 GB of files.. and was writen remaining time 15 Hrs WOW so i just leave the phone all night the files to be transfered.. also i try to copy this 3GB with Active Sync and was done for 9 hrs so faster than the Disc Drive witch is not normal.. now im starting ot think that there is some problems with the drivers?!?!

Also sometimes.. when i Disc Drive my device there is a pop up messege " THIS DEVICE CAN PERFORM FASTER" but when i click on the setting i cannot see anything so i think the Drivers have problem or the Settings or maybe both.

PLEASE can anyone with Windows 7 64bit can tell me what i need to do.. what settings you have?! where to change them and maybe do someone have a NEW USB drivers ?!

Will be very glad if someone can help me out because right now i need to wait a lot even if i want to transfer one Mp3 to my device!!!

I chek this.. also with Another Blackstone and is again the same witch mean Is not from the Device or the SD card is something related to the USB drivers/settings etc.

THank you in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aiiro:
If it's any comfort, I know how You feel :) I had a similar problem with 1GB USB stick and Vista. After hours of research, applying 4 (yes, four!) different hotfixes and bunch of registry edits and restarts, I was still in the same spot where I started - meaning transfer of some 700MB of data to the stick took more than 1,5 hours, which is nonsense. Anyway, as far as I am concerned, there is a problem with some of USB handling in Vista (and possibly maybe on W7 too). When it's one large file, it's quite OK, but when I have 5-6 thousand small files, it takes forever to copy. The point is, I think it's likely that the problem is on the PC side rather than on the PPC side, so maybe You can narrow it down some more. I personally gave up and went back to XP - no problems ever with such things. MS is really "improving" their OS :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tsalta:
Yes...

Sometimes work sometimes do not work WOW super WINDOWS 7 i installed all the drivers that i need always the same problem and my USB support USB2 this mean faster Disc Drive file transfer but now I need to wait a Hours for few Mp3`s

Today i copy to my storage card a new ROM image nbh witch is around 150mb one single file and it took me 50 minutes to transfer that file.. its just awesome.

Hi there,

I,m trying to root my samsung galaxy S I9000XXJPP but it doesn't work.

After searching the forum i found this (text below)

Note: Most Froyo firmwares do no longer have recovery 2e but instead have recovery 3e. This means that they cannot install unverified update.zip files (which we cannot generate). In order to successfully apply updates on those firmwares, you need to install a kernel with 2e recovery (like the one used by chainfire for rooting)

I'm a noob to android so i dont know how to install a kernel with 2e recovery could anyone provide me a link/guide?

Thanx in advance,
