Mistar Muffin...you are the man!!!!

Just picked up a NC today and have been prepping for the past couple days...and pleasantly surprised that the steps have diminished with this.

Thank you!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
How safe is this? The other utility you created seems to be bricking devices. I'm not saying your a bad guy or anything I just don't want to brick my NC
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
OK. The other utility Mistar Muffin created does not "brick" devices.

(1) I've yet to see a NC truly bricked. Only people who crap their pants when things don't go perfect.

(2) The script that is having problems is not Mistar Muffin's script. It is one that someone else (rboatright) created for people who run Winblowz and it is only based on Mistar Muffin's script.

Seriously folks... You

REALLY

need to watch the tone here and at a minimum, get your facts straight.

<under breath>What a bunch of crybabies!</under breath>
[Nook Color Android Development] Mistar Muffin:
I was actually crafting a very similar reply when I saw yours, johnopsec....thanks for setting Novarider straight!
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
What tone? I didn't say a single bad thing about the guy. I just dont want to brick my NC since im not a programmer and probably dont have the skill to fix it if something went wrong

Setting me straight? LOL I simply asked if it is safe. I didn't need setting straight all you had to do was say yes its safe and that you didn't write the program people are having problems with. The other thread you started has people in it that are getting "bricked" devices. I didn't know you didn't write the particular program that was causing this. I was not implying you were doing anything wrong I just don't want a "bricked" device.
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
Novarider, I think that it's just the frustration of people coming on the forum and making posts with big bold red letters that say "YOU BRICKED MY NC!!!" and the like... As many others (including myself) have already stated, it's very difficult to brick a NC. I've yet to do it and I've done some VERY off-the-wall stuff with mine. My personal frustration comes from those two things.

So, sorry if you felt wrongly persecuted by my post. It wasn't directed only at you but at others who have screamed, yelled and lamented about one thing or another "bricking" their NC.

Friends? :D
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Fair enough.

I have a question about this Utility. If I install this will I be able to gain access to the data folder so I can drop some apks into it with root explorer? I would like to be able to use a different keyboard and I was reading I need to be able to rename a keyboard and drop it there for it to work.

I had used adb to install superuser but it didn't do anything once installed so I deleted it
[Nook Color Android Development] clockcycle:
What are talking about "bricking" devices? Have yet to see anyone claim to have "bricked" a Nookcolor...

That being said, don't think it's possible to brick one with current set of tools..

-CC
[Nook Color Android Development] norkoastal:
This should do it since the script installs Superuser and Root Explorer can perform the functions mentioned (you may need to hit the button on the top of the program for R/W). As with any mod - proceed with caution or find a step by step to guide you.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
I can follow the root guide on nookdevs site and just replace the program with this one right? I have root explorer now but it doesnt allow access to data since it can't be granted root access
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
Yep. That will do it. :D

I got the droid-x multi-touch keyboard working a few days ago but that was several resets ago as well. Things didn't go exactly perfect for me and there were several reboots where I didn't have a keyboard at all. :eek: I can't remember the exact steps I took but, I eventually side-loaded the droid-x keyboard and it worked. I'll tinker more tonight on that. It's beer-thirty now though! :D
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
If you figure out an easy way to install the keyboard without having to rename files in system or anything like that please let me know. I hate the stock keyboard on the NC
[Nook Color Android Development] docfreed:
Step-by-Step Needed

Does the script install Root Explorer or do we still have to use ADB to install apps? Is it possible to put APK's on an SD card and install them?
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
It would be great if this activated it because I can't install apks from the sd card now
[Nook Color Android Development] SystemIdleProcess:
Great work! I've factory restored and reset so many times lately that I created a batch file to do the SU and busybox install.

Any chance you could include busybox in the next version?
[Nook Color Android Development] Mistar Muffin:
Root Explorer is not free, so no this will probably never happen.
[Nook Color Android Development] jimmyz:
does this install su to system/bin or system/xbin- does that make a difference?

thanks for all you work!
[Nook Color Android Development] nook'r:
I will ask my question here instead of opening new thread...

If i move u-boot.bin, ramdisk.img, MLO and kernel from supernooter or autonooter to the BN sideload_update.zip 1.0.1, will that give me a rooted device or does the NookColor check the Checksum (hash or SHA-1 value) before it update...

Thanks for the utility anyway
[Nook Color Android Development] tnpapadakos:
anybody replace the launcher on this thing yet? cant see any of the system apps in "extras", only the apps i've installed

would be nice to have the conventional app drawer

edit: nevermind, got it and it works....f$%#ing Super!
[Nook Color Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
How long should this take before it reboots? The computer found new hardware and then it's been like 5 minutes and it still hasn't booted up. I just want to see if that's normal and what to do if not.
[Nook Color Android Development] blu422:
Compatibility?

Does this work on all original nook software versions?
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
This is a really old thread. You should be using Manual Nooter 5.08.20.

[Nook Color Android Development] blu422:
Thanks! I went to the stickies and they directed me here... but I'll look into that thanks again!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philicibine:
My desire z is going back for warranty tomorrow ...

The touchscreen and the buttons just under it stopped working without any warning.

Anyone else had similar issues??

Now unrooted with the latest ruu.

Back to my magic :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
When you say it stopped working, did you by any chance have the phone on a worktop? or was you holding it in your hand?

There are reported issues with phones not working all the time when on a worktop, however mine always works when its in my hand.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiNG OMaR:
When my phone is laying flat on any surface the screen just refuses to respond... however if I angle it just slightly it works just fine, or if I pick it up.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JPHCCFC:
I have the same issue when its in the car dock. I didn't have the issue when I was running the stock bell rom this only happened when I installed cyanogen 6.1
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevencpoynter:
My g2's touchscreen gets super lllaagggyyy, like laggy as crap whenever it is connected to the charger @ near full charge. It's random...yet it's not, like for instance..I can put it on the charger and initially it's very responsive. Then, after a few minutes charging the screen *seems* to be unresponsive, I just have to swipe it slowly and it jerks by @ like..5fps seemingly. This has happened on every rom ive tried so far from stock to CM.

Just installed MIUI and haven't had a chance to test..i'm assuming it's hardware related though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wunako:
When I First got my G2, The TMo Rep asked me to open it up at the store since i was getting the first one from that store and the touch screen didnt work at all, we turned it off and on and nada. So they replaced it with another one and it worked just fine. Other than that little problem i never had a issue on my G2 as far as touch screen freezing goes
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philicibine:
Seems like shoddy hardware to me... I've never dropped the phone.. its always been in a protective cover.

Although I couldn't help thinking.. maybe all the extreme overclocking / general heating up of the phone may have contributed??
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liory:
I have never OC my desire Z (not G2) but I have noticed the exact same symptoms of an unresponsive touch screen after flashing cyanogen 6.1.

I returned back to my stock rom and everything is back to normal.

I haven't had a problem since..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcues:
yes, when its on a worktop (table, desk, anything not my hand) and in a dock -- its not as responsive as you'd expect. I have to hold it and caress it with my warm loving hands to get it to respond.

now ---

this is not related to CM 6.1. at all. Ive flashed a lot of things since visionary and its happened on every single rom.

Id go get that phone out of the mail if I were you OP.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squbel:
I have also noticed the problem with touch screen responsiveness when my G2 is mounted in a car holder.

I have figured that you just have to keep one finger on the aluminium body and the problem is gone. I have to admit that this is somewhat bizarre and I have never had this problem before with my G1 using the same car holder. Seems that there is an issue with electric isolation? I don't exactly understand how capacitive touchscreen works so can't really explain where the dog lies buried.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcues:
Maybe this is a feature. Protection and saves battery.

vision...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanfran:
The same for my DZ - it is kinda weird, because if the phone is for example in the car holder it is impossible to use the touchscreen unless I put another finger on the phones housing. I tried different roms already, but the 'error' is still there.

It would be interesting if all users have the same problem or if it is just a few examples of phones out there.

Thanks,

Robert
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wileykat:
Wow,.... only just noticed this a few days ago. Along with it not vibrating on incoming SMS, i'm starting to get slightly ticked off.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidd657:
yeah happens to mine too =P
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnum_touchpro:
happens to mine also, nothing we can do about this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turboll:
i was lookin at twitter that unrevoked is already workin for the new evosme and my friend are trying to root his phone and my question is do i have to reflash the recovery to amon ra or do i just leave clockwork the sec question will be can we flash the old version of omj rom 3.7 cuz i hear that batt life is horrible do we need to update radios and other things too or not wanna be prepare before we put the pedal on the metal! thankz
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macgyverfc:
I don't want to be mean here, but with all those questions, you may want to do some reading first. I'm going to post a link here for you to start with.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790427

It's about common misconceptions and other useful information. Great read! I promise. After that, start browsing around the Evo side of the forums and do some more reading. If the phone is the HW 0004 version, I suggest going about rooting it the "long way." Read up on the Rooting - "Like a Boss version." I think he updated the title, but if you do a search it will take you to whatever post in that thread.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turboll:
like i said this is not my phone and dont wanna mess to much with it something like that was what i used for my evo but for his i wanna try something like one click root and thats it thats why i mentioned unrevoked and this is what it says

It will work on all released EVO versions, including the 3.30 series.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macgyverfc:
I see. I have not messed with the unrevoked/one click/2 step/whatever method. Unfortuanetly (sp?), I can't offer any help with the method of which you are trying. I'm sure there are others here that have tried it. Hopefully they chime in. Unless there is already another thread about it on the forums.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvpde:
Hey everyone,

I wanted to get your opinions on what is faster. Eugene's Super_IO_Kernel or supercurio's Voodoo stable 5. I've only tried Voodoo myself but I would like to know if it's worth switching.

Thank you :p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
I'll take a stable stock kernel and not worry about lag fixes any day of the week....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexii801:
Same here..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Same here. It becomes old unapplying lagfixes when I flash so many different ROMs.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tempestrs4:
I thought that because Voodoo uses a custom recovery, you don't have to disable it when flashing a new rom. Is this true?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvpde:
I'm not sure but that sounds reasonable.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
I voted based on the literal value of the question asked in the poll rather than whether one kernel is more convenient than the other since that wasn't what the poll was asking anyway.

AFAIK...ClockworkMod is fully supported by Voodoo 5 Stable. If the rom you flash includes a kernel then as long as that kernel supports EXT4, no need to unlagfix. Also, if the rom you're flashing doesn't include a kernel but will work fine with the kernel you're currently using then you also don't need to unlagfix. The only time you should need to unlagfix is when flashing to a rom that contains a kernel that doesn't support EXT4. Anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] OndraSter:
Hello,

I am slowly starting to develop for Windows Phone 7 now, and I want to realize one app I have in my mind since day 1 I first heard about WP7 back on MWC (too bad I wasn't in Spain, it's not _that_ far :D).

Anyway, this app is about Notes. What I am trying to do is that you always pick one note you want to show on homescreen and it will show via live tile. How? This part is thought through, just need to realize it now.

Another part is TODOs, where you will be able to also add DATE to some TODO and when this time comes (+- few minutes - WP7's notifications are limited, I am not sure how much yet), it will popup as Toast message.

But to make this both come true, it will require one thing - you to register (I thought of using device ID, but I want to be able to manage it from internet from your PC too. I have done autologging when app starts, so its not the issue) and all (or just the one, pinned note) and all dated TODOs will be stored on my own server solution, pushing notifications to your device. It might seem wrong to keep your data on my server, but that's how it works now. Sorry guys.

I have now done logging & registering part and some base notes stuff (mostly server side, in PHP), I will be working during next days on the notes and TODOs meanwhile (hell, I might even try combining them somehow? Tips are welcome here!), I lost all free time lately so I have only few hours per week:rolleyes:.

Are you glad I am going to WP7?:D I still don't have any WP7 device though, anyone wanna donate me one? :D (Even the Samsung Taylor as the developer's pre-production one is enough :P). I am buying new car so there isn't money for WP7 phone. All tests are done in emulator. Hope it works on real device...

Regards, OndraSter
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ameel:
Good stuff. Hope to see you active on WP7 development as well and other developers follow :)
[G Tablet General] tmak67:
Hello,

very newbi - thinking for starting down the mod road - and was thinking of my first mod would be to root my gtablet (not sure i am ready to flash a rom yet) but have found some apps that require rooting the tablet - but before i do i had a couple of questions:

will rooting prevent the stock updates from viewsonic?

is there any danger of rooting?

will rooting void my warranty?

thank you all for your help and info - thank goodness for this site

JT
[G Tablet General] ddarvish:
Rooting shouldnt prevent stock updates but you will loose root if you do a stock update,

there is very little danger in either rooting or flashing roms on this device. It is almost unbrickable.

rooting technically voids your warranty but typically you would be able to reflash the stock os and have no one detect you rooted.

I suggest you just start off with flashing a room line TNT lite as it is about 1000000x than stock and you wont care to recieve the stock updates. it is also rooted already.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yolandanelson31:
I used One click to unroot, I used rom manager by clockworkmod, to install obsidian 4.2 and now my wifi will not pull an ip address. If I try I have to reboot the phone to get the data network to come back up. I tried re-flashing and it didn't work. Am I missing a fix that is out there? Every search I complete I get info about wifi calling...not interested in that, I just want my wifi to work(makes updating at home a much faster process)

Thanks BabyGirlYoyo
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.orange303:
I could never get an answer for this either.

I have to use it w/o security for it to work. Don't know why. Other wise it won't take the authentication.

[Fascinate General] elijahblake:
I'm sorry to post this in the Fascinate forum, but as you all know Cellular South's version the "Showcase" is identical in hardware as is the Mesmerize, but there isn't a forum for either of them..

I see there's plenty of kernels and etc.. But is there just a simple lag fix that I can do to my Showcase that will make every day use better and less laggy?

A simple yes or no is fine with me.

if there is a way a link post or explanation would be VERY appreciated.

Thanks,

Elijahblake

(PS)Sort of on the same subject, but I read that gingerbread is going to support ext4 file system. I know the Galaxy S uses the RFS file system which I believe is where we get the lag in the first place.. Will it be possible to switch file system formats?

I'm not real familiar with all these Linux formats. Would it be similar to reformatting like from FAT32 to NTFS?
[Fascinate General] jt1134:
If you can provide some additional information and files, I can port some things such as Voodoo lagfix to your device.

Needed:

stock kernel

stock mbr

mount output

All of the following can be done through adb on a rooted device.

To dump the kernel do:

cat /dev/block/bml7 > /sdcard/zImage

To dump original mbr do:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/showcase.mbr bs=512 count=1

To get mount output do:

mount

then paste the output of that command as well as upload the showcase.mbr and zImage files here.
[Fascinate General] elijahblake:
Ok will do, what's the best, easiest root method
[Fascinate General] jt1134:
look for the thread in the fascinate forum simply titled "root"

also you will need to locate the thread explaining how to get clockworkmod recovery on the showcase in the same forum
[Fascinate General] elijahblake:
will do.. May take me some while to get all this info gathered..

quick question? I've read of some people not being able to see certain apps in the market after rooting.. Is this still the case?

If my phone is rooted and 2.2 finally does come out (officially) will have to un root and remove any lag fix to upgrade? How hard will this be?
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
To get the upgrade, you shouldn't have to un-root, but you should probably disable voodoo first as the update will almost certainly have a new kernel, and applying the update without disabling voodoo could cause quite a headache.

If you do apply the update right away, you could quite possibly loose root, so you may want to wait until the devs re-root the update. This could make things easier for you as the rooted update will also likely be cleaned up some.

To disable voodoo, you'd just need to create a file called "disable_lagfix" in /sdcard/voodoo and then reboot your phone. See the thread in the dev forum about removing voodoo for more details if you want.
[Fascinate General] elijahblake:
ok well it looks like I'm rooted.. Now I tried to open the ADB that came in the fascinate root zip but it's not opening for more than a split second... you have a download link?

Also can uninstall all this bloatware now?? :)

edit.. thought I had Android SDK on this laptop.. Downloading it now
[Fascinate General] elijahblake:
Alright, so i'm rooted now and got ADB set up.. And this is the first time I've done any of this. So can you please tell me the exact commands to enter. I really don't want to mess anything up.

Thanks,

elijahblake
[Fascinate General] elijahblake:
I have c:\androidsdk

I put ADB inside tools and it sees my device when I run ADB devices

But on the commands you listed nothing happens, I'm not sure if that's the entire commands or if I'm supposed to add something to them..
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Try to run the following

adb shell cat /dev/block/bml7 > /sdcard/zImage
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/showcase.mbr bs=512 count=1
adb shell mount

or just typing "adb shell" and entering the commands at the new prompt, and typing "exit" to get back to the normal command prompt.
[Fascinate General] elijahblake:
here's what happened..

the first two commands didn't work. DO i need to create a folder name zImages?

The second command said access denied..

You tell me if the mount worked haha..
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
jt will have to comment on whether that is what he needs from the mount command. Can you try the following to see if it works?

adb shell
su
shell cat /dev/block/bml7 > /sdcard/zImage
shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/showcase.mbr bs=512 count=1
exit
[Fascinate General] elijahblake:
well, it granted me SU rights.. but still a no go...
[Fascinate General] elijahblake:
i figured since i was in shell i shouldn't type that.. still got no directory found...
[Fascinate General] elijahblake:
would root explorer make this any easier?
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
I just tested out all of the commands on my Fascinate and they all worked, so I'm guessing that the Showcase is putting stuff in a different place. jt will have to help you out further as I'm not sure of where else to look for the info he needs.
[Fascinate General] GeekMouse:
for the cat command it should bml as in lowercase L, not 1. And it looks like you added a space between the of and = on the dd command.
[Fascinate General] elijahblake:
I typed it exactly the way you said.. still got this..

Can you take a shot at it?
[Fascinate General] GeekMouse:
It doesn't need shell at the beginning.
[Fascinate General] GeekMouse:
This is how it should be typed

adb shell
su
cat /dev/block/bml7 > /sdcard/zImage
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/showcase.mbr bs=512 count=1
exit
[Fascinate General] jt1134:
Don't put "shell" in front of the commands. I would suggest getting more comfortable with adb and other tools before flashing anything. If you upload the showcase.mbr and zImage files, I can look at porting things to your device.
[Fascinate General] elijahblake:
Ok so i rerooted my phone using z4.. and now everything worked.. so just tell me which files you need me to get you and how, haha

I now have the showcase.mbr and zImage in my files on my phone... Just not sure how to upload them from this point..
