Well my stats are looking a bit better running a build on 4.2.1 instead of 4.2.2.

99% after 4 minutes

96% after 15 minutes

93% after 1 hour

on 4.2.2 I was at 90% after 1 hour. I'm going to run this for the rest of the day and then try out whatever the latest is on 4.1.9.1.

The one question I still have is whether the stock HTC kernel #15 uses CFS or BFS so that I can pick a matching build of this.

Also, am I to understand that the #15 kernel is newer than #17?
[EVO 4G Android Development] thebeast614:
Now its down to 3977V...that doesn't sound right does it

Sent from my Warm EVO :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] adambomb6:
I'm running Myns RLS4

Here's what I've seen so far

131 - tried this one first and saw trickle charging. However, I took it off the charger before I saw zero's, was at 100% for about 30 minutes, got up to 4212mV

v3 and v5 - both of these I left on overnight for a good test, both of these trickled down to 0mA and about 4200mV. Then, after approximately 50minutes, both of these started hitting negative mA and stayed negative the rest of the night.

Trying out v7 now.

Most of this you have probably already seen. I think the key thing I'm seeing is that the negatives start after about 50 minutes from the first 0mA. This makes it a pain to test I'm sure!
[EVO 4G Android Development] edgemaster191:
figure'd i would report in.

took it off the charger this morning at 4187mV. charging for the last few hours before i took it off changed between 0ma and +2ma (no -ma :) )

this is consistent with what iv'e been getting right along with the CM kernel.

only difference is i'm running Savage Beta2 this time around. going to see how it runs today and i'll report back.

the setup:

CM6.1.1 nightly 203

Savage Beta2 with v5 SBC

Seidio 3500mah extended battery

my phone has been off the charger for 2 hours and i am at 97%
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdwoods:
Testing also with ac, battery is at 93% so it will be a bit.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
MS, I've seen the question asked a few times, and as much as I have tried to keep up and read all the posts, I don't recall seeing an answer. I may have overlooked it if it has been answered, if so, I apologize.

When using these kernels (131, Net4.2.2 More v2, v4) I always see the same thing. I never hit -ma's while on charger, but I also never drop below 8 ma charging. I know it is good that it doesn't go negative, but am I still getting a full charge if the ma's never drop to 0? My voltage at 10 ma is 4201-4204, just curious why the ma's never come all the way down. When I look at the battery stats in Battery monitor widget, it shows that the battery has been at 100% for 4-5 hours, consistently floating at 8-12 ma.

I do notice that it takes much longer to come down from 100%, so I am not too worried about it, but if it can be better, I wouldn't complain... lol

FWIW, I am running Myn's Rls4, and wiped both Cache and Dalvik 2x before flashing the kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] edgemaster191:
iv'e had problems with clockwork not wiping all the data from dalvik and when i flashed a new rom there would be data left over and things would crash/run extremely slow. was also causing problems when wiping dalvik to flash new kernels and such.

i'm speaking from my own experience. i'm sure other people have had no problems with clockwork.

wipe with Ra and i have never had these issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
my phone was on the charger for over 10 hours and i woke up to it being at only 50%??

using

12/21/10: v1.3 Build(s) - New voltage limits + AC/USB trickle charging

Also, am I to understand that the #15 kernel is newer than #17?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
All HTC kernels use CFS. BFS is a patch that is applied to CFS kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Probably CFS. It's the default scheduler for the linux kernel. I doubt they would use something unofficial like BFS.

+1 on the battery drain with V7 Warm Evo...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
So, did you all miss me last night?

For the very FIRST TIME since getting my EVO, something went terrible awry last night while using MS v4. I'm not surprised to hear he pulled it.

I had 2 1/2 hours of continuous BOOT LOOPS after using MS V4 for the day. And no matter what I tried I couldn't stop it. Even my volume down/power button recovery jump wasn't working!!

Finally, after 2 hours and about 50 bootloops, I got it into recovery, wiped everything thrice and reflashed MS/SBC 131. Another 20 minutes of loops. Got back to recovery, wiped 3 times again and flashed HTC 17. Another 20 minutes of loops.

At 2 hrs 45 minutes I finally got back into Recovery, wiped everything 3 times, wiped Data, flashed Ztest 12/17 (the last tested, stable kernel I'd used), and rebooted.

(And, yes, that's right, I didn't reflash the ROM...I didn't want to have to re-edit my lockbar and framework and figured I could always go back and do that if need be.)

Finally at the 3 hour mark, it booted very nicely and quickly into the ROM, I went into recovery and Nand Restored my data, and got my phone back.

WHEW....

I'm posting here to see if anyone else had an issue with v4, but I'm sensing after reading a few things here and on Myn's thread that it was pulled for a reason. Wish I'd known in advance, but I guess we're all on the cutting edge and like it that way. I know I do...

But after almost 6 very easy, successful months since getting, then rooting, my EVO, and literally having almost zero issues, yesterday was a tense day...

So, just for peace of mind, I'm gonna keep running Ziggy's 471 12/17 CFS for a day, and see what stabilizes over here...

:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] ncfastls1:
been using build 131 for the past few days. This is getting ridiculous, I've been off the charger for two hours with about ten mins of use and I'm still at 100 percent! Best kernel I have ever used. Great work
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomHacker:
These are my results with version 7. I killed every app and still get the same results.

Swyped from my Mynion using the Xda App.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
It's amazing the difference in phones. I have been off the charger nearly an hour and still sitting on 100%. I'm using the 4.2.2 v4 that was removed and replaced with 4.1.9 v5.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VisedMonk:
**EDIT**

I'm testing v7, just reach 100% on AC...

Peaked at 4209 mV w/ 49 mA about 15 mins ago. I have now dropped to 4203 mV w/ 27 mA.

Battery temp at 77.0 F.

FWIW, I'm on Calk's v1.7.1 EViO 2 ROM
[EVO 4G Android Development] sturmen:
Why the switch from 4.2.2 to 4.1.9.1? Newer is better, no?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
Was NEW Coke better than the Original?? Was the MiniDisc or DAT better? :rolleyes: [Most of y'all probably have no idea what I'm talking about.]

New is NOT always better. Especially when dealing with BETA software.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nemesys504:
I'm pretty sure he is using v4.1.9.1 because that is netarchy's latest stable kernel and v4.2.1 and v4.2.2 are in beta right now. I think he wants to make his code stable on a stable kernel to make sure everything works right.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahauss:
OK so yesterday I installed "SBC for Netarchy's 4.1.9.1 More Aggressive V5" .. Seems to work great.. I have been off the charger since 8AM and I am on 91% battery right now at 11AM (is that good)?. I only talked on the phone for 5 minutes, got and send a few texts, checked email and looked at friend stream. I did see a few -MA's aroung 6AM this morning but I think it was while I was using the phone while plugged into AC charger (I think it shuts off the charger when its 100% charged and you use the phone while plugged in?). One thing though, I notice that with SETCPU and this kernel, I set it to conservative and it sticks at 384MHZ and never goes up (Im not overclocking). I do have a SCREEN OFF SETTING set to ON DEMAND so I get a quick wakeup when the phone rings. Should the phone stick at 384MHZ on conservative? the phone seems to really LAG 80% of the time. I am wondering what ON DEMAND will do for battery life?

Thanks....
[EVO 4G Android Development] MadDogMaddux:
Does anyone know if Ziggy is aware of this code, and if there'll be a Ziggy mod out with this anytime soon?
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
Does this mean that v4 and v5 are not 3.70 compatible??
[Nook Color General] rpollard00:
I spoke to a bookseller tonight that informed me we will be getting a minor update tomorrow morning to 1.0.1. Apparently it improves wifi connectivity and addresses something to do with mobile/desktop browser mode with the stock NC browser.

It is supposed to be available for manual update in the morning and will be staggered out to NCs via wifi over the next couple of days.

I'm turning my wifi off just in case, I'd rather not wake up without root tomorrow.

The original nook updates pull the assets from images.barnesandnoble.com domain. Is it possible that if the NC updates are located on the same domain, would adding images.barnesandnoble.com to the hosts file block it from downloading?
[Nook Color General] Novarider:
so are you going to leave wifi off forever? It's not like it's hard to root the NC. I want to enjoy my NC not be paranoid it will update
[Nook Color General] Homer_S_xda:
Unless of course the new update makes it unrootable... or just takes longer to get the new version rooted.

xbox,

Does this keep the nook from randomly (or systematically) resetting itself to factory stock???

Thanks for the tip regardless!!!
[Nook Color General] SCIONTX:
I don't see the manual update posted on the B&N website yet.
[Nook Color General] midnightmaraude:
It looks like it takes the file that allows over the air update and changes the file name so that file is never activiated, thus not installing any updates automatically.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm recalling some old tivo hacking unix knowledge here.
[Nook Color General] Sirchuk:
Another option would be to block barnesandnoble.com in your DNS or router, then it won't be able to check for updates but you'll still be able to browse other sites. But you won't be able to buy B&N books.

Just a thought, in case changing the update file name doesn't work.

An update this quickly may point to rooted users rather than a wifi fix.
[Nook Color General] ender89:
considering that Barnes and Nobel announced that froyo and the market are coming in January, I don't think they really care about rooting. We haven't found a way to cheat their store and we are not abusing any cellular networks, I bet they will just let us be.
[Nook Color General] devis:
This last idea could work but I connect from at least 3 different locations: home, work, coffee shop. Still, eliminating one would limit your chances.
[Nook Color General] jballz0682:
This should be done using ADB.

It's the command line script that is use to disable ota updates on android phones as well.
[Nook Color General] xboxexpert:
I'll post the host file blocking B&N later on tonight. You guys do know that there is a host file on your nook color that you can use just like your windows host file, right?
[Nook Color General] devis:
I looked in Windows/System32/drivers/etc but I couldnt find it... might have something to do with the lack of a Windows folder :)
[Nook Color General] docfreed:
Clear Blocking

On the possibility that the imminent update is benign (towards root), what are the commands for re-enabling updating?
[Nook Color General] xboxexpert:
on your windows computer its in

windows/system32/drives/etc/hosts (its hidden)

on your nook I dont remember where its at but I know its there.
[Nook Color General] inferniac90:
No they didn't, the news was not right, B&N then corrected it saying that update is coming 2011 (not necessarily in January).
[Nook Color General] xboxexpert:
If you used my block updates script below

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

adb shell mv /etc/security/otacerts.zip /etc/security/otacerts.zip_DISABLED_OTA_UPDATES

too undo it you would do

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

adb shell mv /etc/security/otacerts.zip_DISABLED_OTA_UPDATES /etc/security/otacerts.zip

That would rename the old file back to normal
[Nook Color General] Sirchuk:
In addition to it being sometime in 2011, it won't include the Android market but Barnes and nobles own market. They released a statement earlier this week.
[Nook Color General] docfreed:
Thanks for the info
[Nook Color General] stwallman:
The update is now available

[Nook Color General] ExZeRoEx:
So, anyone know if it breaks root?
[Nook Color General] clockworx:
Well, they did change quite a bit based on binary differences. Ramdisk and recovery have changed, Browser is different (as expected), looks like they tweaked some of the graphics code as well.

wlan driver too.
[Nook Color General] plariers:
but does it interfere with our rooting?
[Nook Color General] amp711:
Thanks xboxexpert. Used your script and it ran with out a hitch.
[Nook Color General] KitF:
Well, according to lenictavus in IRC, sideloading the update as per instructions seems to fail under root.

I'm not sure if this means that the OTA won't be able to update or what though.
[Nook Color General] jasoraso:
sideloading failed for me too.

I just un-rooted and it just updated .... will let you know in a few if I can re-root

hmmm ... won't boot all the way after running autonooter ... hangs at the adobe screen

----

after 8 tries > finally got the original reboot ....
[Nook Color General] clockworx:
Craaaaaaaaaaaaap, they may have updated framework.jar, which means I'll need to build a new one. It could be something else, but that's an easy guess.

Yup, looks like they did. Autonooter is gonna be broken til I can make a new one, I guess (or try pushing over the stock framework.jar from the update, if you already have an Android ID)
[Nook Color General] rpollard00:
At least that seems to indicate that they didn't patch the flaw that lets us run code from the sdcard in the first place.
[Nook Color General] webvan:
Is there a way to force the update? I put the Sideload_update.zip file at the root of my Nook but nothing happens, it just sits there!
[Nook Color General] rabid_droid:
IGNORE. NOOTER WORKS.

At least one person on here received the 1.0.1 update (via OTA) as far back as 11 days ago. According to them, it not only breaks root, but pokey9000's self-booting image doesn't work to restore root, either.

Thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=862372
[Nook Color General] clockworx:
People have tested nooter on IRC and it sounds like it still works.
[Nook Color General] johnopsec:
It should be very prominently noted that using a host file to do this sort of blocking will also break all of the "stock" features of the NOOKcolor. IE; if you keep the NOOKcolor from communicating with B&N, users are not going to be able to purchase and/or download books/mags.
[Nook Color General] johnopsec:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

[Nook Color General] iconoclastnet:
Looking through the new build.prop I saw this...

ro.build.date=Thu Dec 16 14:27:20 PST 2010

clearly they have a lengthy and involved testing and qa process on new releases. :p

So, does anyone know if moving/renaming otacerts.zip actually does anything? It sounds like the colorless nook just ignores that file... http://nookdevs.com/Firmware_Update
[Nook Color General] webvan:
My Nook just decided to update itself to 1.10 for some reason...will now try nooter on it.
[Nook Color General] rog152:
you sure, how do you know? Looks like Webvan got the update. Could it be how we rooted, which one we used?
[Nook Color General] webvan:
Good news, nooter did its magic ! Will now try to sideload Titanium to restore my backup.
[Nook Color General] dkirchik:
Mine updated OTA, couldn't get to it in time. Now its stuck in a boot loop. I tried SSH and ADB Shell, still stuck ont he boot loop.. been doing it for an hour. Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] webvan:
Yes, reset it with 8 press method : http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM#Re-Image_the_NookColor

I had to do that as well after upgrading to 1.01 from a "clean" device (it reset itself twice yesterday!) and trying xboxexpert's new script.

Interestingly it restored itself to 1.0.0 so it looks like I will be able to check out that script after all ;-)
[Nook Color General] dkirchik:
I was doign the 8 press method, it keeps telling me "/rom/devconf/BootCnt: No such file or directory" Thats why im so stuck. I've been banging my head over it.
[Nook Color General] jasoraso:
Turn it on and off 8 times in a row (turn off when it is booting up)
[Nook Color General] dkirchik:
Sweet! Thank you Jasoraso and Webvan! Helped so much, I got it back! You guys rock!
[Nook Color General] webvan:
I think I've seen a fix for that, let's see...yes : http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Fix_Boot_Loops
[Nook Color General] dkirchik:
What helped the most was taking off the polycarbonate shell i had on the NOOKColor. I guess it was also pressing the "-" volume button as well as the "+" button. Once I got the factory reset, it was out of the bootloop.
[Nook Color General] TchnclFl:
Well, mine still hasn't updated to 1.0.1...I just paranoid turned off the wifi for the time being. Can anyone locate the hosts file? I want to block barnesandnoble until we get this all sorted out.

I also modified the otacerts.zip file, but does that do anything? :|
[Nook Color General] cabbieBot:
advice: if you turn off wifi but still want to download books, you can download them to your PC and sideload them. i dont believe that works for mags/newspapers.
[Nook Color General] TchnclFl:
OK I found the hosts file (in /system/etc/) and modified it to block barnesandnoble.com and bn.com.

Here's my instructions:

-Download hosts file (http://www.mediafire.com/?wcpx51dwecy4pmh)

-open up command prompt (at the location of the file you just downloaded):

-adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

-adb shell mv /system/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts.bak

-adb push hosts /system/etc/hosts

-adb reboot

Once the nook reboots, try to go to barnesandnoble.com. It should redirect you to Google. (EDIT: On second thought, depending on where you're located, it may not load anything at all. This is because Google uses different IPs for different locations. As long as it doesn't load BN's homepage, you're good).

The commands you just executed saved a copy of the old hosts file as hosts.bak just in case.

No guarantees that this will stop OTA updates, but hopefully it will.
[Nook Color General] Sarahh926:
I have a question. If I disabled the OTA updates will that save my rooted NC from not working? And if I disable the OTA updates can I still download BN books/mags/newspapers? I turned off my wifi for now until I know what to do.

Will this disable the update? I got this from a earlier post on this thread.

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

adb shell mv /etc/security/otacerts.zip /etc/security/otacerts.zip_DISABLED_OTA_UPDATES

too undo it you would do

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

adb shell mv /etc/security/otacerts.zip_DISABLED_OTA_UPDATES /etc/security/otacerts.zip

That would rename the old file back to normal.
[Nook Color General] Vindolanda:
Speaking completely from the other posts (have to wait for my Nook Color at Christmas :'( ), I believe it does break all the stock features.

I think the commands you've posted is altering the host file johnopsec mentions. To compensate for the loss of B&N features, you can still sideload books, but I don't think it works for the newspapers/magazines. To me, that sorta defeats the primary purpose of the Nook but your choice lol.

It looks like nooter still works if you update to 1.01 (not AutoNooter) and then want to root.
[Nook Color General] johnopsec:
Renaming the otacerts.zip doesn't break stock features. I am still able to use the store, purchase content, read my books/mags, etc with the B&N stock apps.

Thus far, my NC has not updated itself. I have renamed the otacerts.zip on my NC though which in theory should block the update.

As an aside, outside of being able to spoof the DNS of all of the b&n owned domains by pointing the NC at your own nameservers and setting up fake authoritative zones, editing the host file is not an effective countermeasure.
[Nook Color General] Vindolanda:
Thanks for clearing that up (pain in the ass not to have the Nook to play with :p )

Out of curiosity, when you connect the Nook to a computer, does it have its own client with it (i.e. iTunes/HTC Sync type of deal) or is it just Windows Explorer with the sd card? The salesman said it was just windows explorer, but I thought I read it would update itself if you connected it with your computer.

*Nevermind, found it here. Now, I see what he meant. Just sideload the zip, and the world makes sense again.
[Nook Color General] GabrialDestruir:
Just to clarify a couple of things. That guy was full of ****. ^_^

AutoNooter works with 1.0.1 now but you will have to flash to stock update then run AutoNooter.
[Nook Color General] thecalip:
What's the point of this update if BN is pushing 2.2 next month?

I haven't see any OTA update yet, hopefully will not hit my NC
[Nook Color General] Sarahh926:
How do you flash to stock update?

So after you flash to stock update than run AutoNooter (I have the one that installs the Market and Gmail...will that still work?). And my nook will run the same as before the update?
[Nook Color General] suzook:
That was bogus info....no 2.2 next month.
[Nook Color General] rxr:
Just want to check...this can be done via Root Explorer as well right?

Just navigate to etc/security

Change r/w to r/o

rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip_DISABLED_OTA_UPDATES

change r/o back to r/w

Done. Yes?

Also..adding "_DISABLED_OTA_UPDATES" to the end is just masking the ".zip" extension correct? In theory I can rename it to otacerts.zip_DONT_UPDATE_MY_**** and it would do the same thing?
[Nook Color General] johnopsec:
Yes. You are correct.

Of note: I used this method personally. I have had my NC connected to wifi for the past 24hrs+ and it has not updated itself. It's too soon to call this a success but all indications are that it will block the update at this point.
[Nook Color General] smarcisin:
sounds good! i blocked the OTA until a more substantial update is released. its not worth reformatting again. i just had to redo my NC last week
[Nook Color General] greenmky:
Ditto. I went with the update block for now. Not enough in the update to be worth it.
[Nook Color General] oakof:
I also downloaded the file and copy it to my root of the Nook but it was not updating.
[Nook Color General] webvan:
It finally decided to update itself last night, not sure why, it happened after I'd plugged it via USB ad unplugged it and let it sit.
[Nook Color General] oakof:
thanks, thats what i did. I did everything over again and it worked.
