Hey guys

I have read all posts from the begining and found out my problem is not very rare but it hasnt been answered anywhere.I did all steps throuly and was successful till my cell restarted.I was waiting and my cell didnt start.It restarted several times and nothing happened.I read some comments recommended to repeat all steps again.But the problem is my phone doesnt start and windows doesnt recognize in result.I want to know what I shoud do or how can I restore my cell to previous state.Any idea will be appreciated.

thnx
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] HAKA:
Hello! Yes, i understand your problem, as you can now root directly, you don't need this guide now, as you are willing to do rooting by this method, i recommend you to use this thread and to do this you need to firstly flash the Android 2.1 Firmware WITH SYSTEM.BIN in it.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] amir82:
Thank u my friend

I will try and inform u if there will be any problem
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lee.asid:
i have a problem whenever i try to charge my phone when turned off it automatically turns on..
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] aniket_:
I had flashed my phone with this a long time back...

Now i'm using the newer firmwares using xRecovery..

Now, i need a bit of help...

How do i get the stock unrooted firmware now back on ?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Sleep00:
change back your si nuber (customization code) in build.prop - optional

and reflash with SEUS (seus will probably tel you that you have latest firmware, but then there is option to reflash/repair don't remember exactly tne name of option, and than will seus download latest firmware and flash the phone )
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] aniket_:
aah... ok.. thanks a lot :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] klaus74:
this happens to me with floyo too, so i think it's something due to rooting

[G Tablet General] DaMan:
Hi!

I can't seem the usb drive to work with vegan beta4. Is this suppost to work or is it something i must install for it to recognize my usb thumb ?
[G Tablet General] dragonfly1113:
Not 100 percent sure but i beleive someone said that you need to boot the device with the usb plugged in for it to recognize some drives?
[G Tablet General] DaMan:
I tried that but no result.

thx
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
It should be listed as usbdrive using your favorite file manager. Usually under

...

...

sdcard

sdcard2

usbdrive

Its not like windows. It doesn't pop up with a window when you plug it in. Flash drive must be formatted fat32. Android doesn't like ntfs
[G Tablet General] DaMan:
I do see the USB drive bit it's always empty. USB drive is fat32 formatted.

Using a USB mouse works great. I don't get a popup which notifies me about a connected usb drive like my archos 101 did.
[G Tablet General] DaMan:
Did a little discovery:

When connecting the tab to pc with a usb cable only then a "mount usb" message pops up.

Then a usb drive will work.

Now how do i get the gtab to mount the usb drive ?
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
I don't think any of these roms are gonna give you a popup when you load a usb drive. I just plugged one in on tnt 3.1 and it reads it thru file manager. I was on vegan beta4 and did the same thing yesterday

Edit: usb disk not usb drive

When you connect a cable from your pc to the tablet the pop up is to allow the tab to unmount the internal sdcard so your pc can read it.
[G Tablet General] DaMan:
I do not understand...what is location of the usb files then ?
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Open iFileManager and hit the icon that looks like a house. Scroll down and you will find a folder named usbdisk. That is your usb drive. Open the folder. I'm assuming the usb drive is plugged in
[G Tablet General] DaMan:
/usbdrive is empty.

It becomes populates when i insert a mini usb cable and connect it to the pc.

This give me the mount option and only then i see files under /usbdrive.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
idk then, I never had a problem reading the usb drive on vegan beta4. Sorry I can't help
[G Tablet General] DaMan:
OK, found it.

I have to unmount the sdcard first. Then the usb drive shows with files.

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Cool....You may wanna drop a note in the vegan thread on what you did. Maybe others have had the same issue.
[G Tablet General] cscotty:
Hey. I just got a USB Flash Drive and tried connecting it to my GTab but no dice. I am running Vegan 5.1 and using ES File Explore. I navigate to the root directory and see sdcard, sdcard2, and usbdisk. Sdcard and sdcard2 has my internal storage and my micro usb storage files respectively. But nothing pops us in usbdisk. I tried removing the microsd, rebooting with the USB inserted, and unmounting the microSD but no dice.

Any hints?

Thanks,

Scott

Update: So I tried going to settings and unmounting the sdcard and now I can see the USBdisk. Odd. If I want to transfer data from one drive to another, I cant accomplish that because the SDcard is unmounted. Also all my appdata and stuff are not present. Any way to have both of these drives mounted at the same time?

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] HeisRisen:
Which framework file has the security unlock pattern in it? I want to try to modify it from circles to stars with a star dust type pattern on the movement. Or has somebody done something similar already? Looking in FROYO.
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi should be what you're looking for

Edit: not the same on the epic as on the hero, might not be there after all :o :D
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
I think its in the settings or twframework. Il look later today when I get a chance
[Epic 4G General] Dameon87:
Probably settings. The tw framework has nothing to do with the pattern unlock. It is a standard android feature.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Originally those buttons are in framework-res.apk but cause of tw allot of stuff got moved to twframework-res.apk that is usally in the regular framework. But yes I'm leaning more towards settings.apk
[Epic 4G General] HeisRisen:
Will look after work tonight. Hopefully can find it quickly thanks for the help.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyownus:
has anyone looked into the possibility or upgrading the LCD in these to a higher quality one? that would solve many of my issues with the device. I see they have been researching this on the gtablet forum but search didnt find any information on this site for the 101....

anyone know enough about this to recommend a plug n play replacement?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oic0:
Never done it on a tablet, but on a laptop you typically want to aim for the same or lesser resolution unless the video supports higher (on this would have to be exact same resolution probably) and you want a backlight that has similar power characteristics. Then you need the frame to be the exact same physical size, frame and thickness included. Good luck, lemme know what yah find ;) id like a nice IPS or S-IPS in mine.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] absolutnick:
Hi, a normal laptop 1024x600 resolution 10.1 panel will work, it used standard connections. I have tried that with a pixel qi. It works but no touch obviously. However the capacitive touch panel is stuck on the screen so you will need to purchase an extra touch panel to stick on top of the lcd screen you will buy. However i dont think there is any ips 10.1 inch screens. These are made customely for devices i believe.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
At its most expensive it is a $350 device (101 - 16GB). Completely not worth it financially to upgrade the LCD. You would be better off spending that money to buy a Adam with the Pixel Qi screen if you were so inclined to have a higher quality capacitive screen. It would probably cost less too.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyownus:
at 1.5lbs and $500 ill pass on the adam. you can purchase better lcds for ~$100 thats still cheaper than the adam also... but finding that the touch panel is glued to the lcd kinda ruins this idea. oh well CES next week will have plenty of alternatives to the 101 im sure
[Fascinate General] LXative:
If anyone can shed some light as to what I need to do, I'd greatly appreciate it.

So I rooted my phone. After doing so, I just wanted to remove some bloatware.......so I downloaded Root Explorer. I did install Clockwork and Titanium backup before doing anything also, fwiw.

Over the past couple of days, I have been disabling some of the stupid factory apps.....and also began using LauncherPro. I like LP much better, except for the fact that it only uses Swype keyboard (which I hate). While I was looking for the last two apps that I never use (so I could disable), I decided to disable Swype.

I at least I hope to give some of a good laugh with my stupidity today. And my problem now is that I can't use my keypad at all......in any app, or anything. I freaked out, and also figured I didn't have too much to lose either....so I decided to try and do a backup. No success. I did a factory reset, no succcess.

Suggestions?
[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
Do you mean you tried a restore?

And you are able to use any keyboard you want with any launcher. Just long press and select input method.

Go back into titainium and unfreeze swype.

Next time just install a custom rom with all the bloat already removed.

Worse case, do a odin restore :)
[Fascinate General] Neuman.Tim:
I think he deleted the apps through root explorer..like he said brother just do an odin back to stock and if you want to remove bloatware use titanium backup to freeze apps instead of just delete them. Or if you download something like jt1134's super clean rom bloatware will already be gone. And just for the record launcher pro doesn't just use swype..if you long press in the text field and select ' input method ' you can change keyboards..in fact try that lol before you do anything else.

Hope this helps!

[Fascinate General] LXative:
Yes, I tried to do a restore. I figured out another method though, and was successful.

And no, I can't change from Swype on LP for some reason....when I long press the only thing that shows is Swype.

I actually didn't delete anything, just renamed the apps I didn't want to .bak.

What I was able to do is download Root Explorer to my desktop, then drag it on the root of the phone. With the Fascinate, there is a folder that says "My Files", in which I can run an app from the root. What I had to do, since I couldn't use the keyboard......is send myself a text over the internet with "Swype.apk" and copy the text, then rename the swype file back from bak to apk by pasting the text into the field. Worked like a champ. :D
[Fascinate General] Neuman.Tim:
Slick move brother

Here's a weird one.

I plugged my NC in to charge this morning. It was just fine and then all of a sudden, the green light turned off and now the NC is no longer charging even though the battery is only at 59% .

What gives? Anyone else notice this?

Sent from my XDA app on my Nook Color
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Have not experienced anything like that. If I did though, I would reboot and see if that changes anything.

Good luck.
[Nook Color General] Jsorvik:
Try a reboot. I have noticed the last couple of days that my NC charges, but the status on the battery is not updated until a reboot. I have not figured out why this is happening yet. . .
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
I will try. The thing is, when i connect to the laptop via usb, it no longer recognizes my device as a drive. My macbook says it's drawing too much power and disbles the port. I'm wondering if they're related? I guess the NC charger requires more juice .......

Sent from my XDA app on my Nook Color
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
I have two Win7 laptops and one of them no longer recognizes my NC as a drive either. The other one sees it as the Nook Color and as two drives. It's strange. I have not tried to find out why yet as there are only so many issues I can worry about at one time. :D
[Nook Color General] Jsorvik:
You know. . . I have noticed my problem just in thelast three days, and I have not tried it on a USB port in that time. Let us know if a full restart fixes your problem. It does sound a little different from mine.
[Nook Color General] boutatl:
I had the same problem till I started doing the following:

Make sure Nook is completely powered off.

Plug in USB cable, Nook boots up on it's on.

Turn off WIFI.

Unplug USB from Nook and then plug USB cable back in.

Now: Nook charges correctly in CHARGE mode:

It seems it takes unplugging 2X to get it into charge mode. You will see the light turn amber on the cable and the status of the Nook will be charging. The battery icon will show as well.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
Well, that's annoying. Will i have to do that every time?

So rebooted the NC last night and plugged it in to charge. The light was orange and device showed it was charging when i went to bed. I just got up and the light is no longer on and battery only charged to 90% overnight. What gives? Is there somthing faulty?

Sent from my XDA app on my Nook Color
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
And i just rebooted again and the NC still not recognizing the charger.

Sent from my XDA app on my Nook Color
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
Yet another update --- I finally got the NC to start charging again. Now the light on the cable turned green and the battery is only at 97%. Isn't it supposed to stay orange until the battery is fully charged?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Never had any problem charging mine at all... I plug it in typically towards the end of the second day, or when it gets much below 40%.. I always (intentionally) charge it using the Nook Charger and Nook Cable, any other combo will only charge it slowly, probably around 10%/hr at most IF the NC is standby/screen off.

As for how far it charges until it says it's done... Some Android phones stop showing "charging" at 90% but continue to slowly charge to 100%, some it's higher... And when it hits full it TURNS OFF THE CHARGER until it drops below the threshold again. This is how charging LiIon is done. I personally haven't paid any attention to how the NC charges, as it "just works" for me.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
I'm wondering if it's something wrong either with my cable or my actual NC. Ugh. I don't want to return for another unit.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
Bump. Anyone else seeing these charging issues? Should I take this back?

Sent from my XDA app on my Nook Color
[Nook Color General] 10equals2:
Not sure how relevant it is, but "slow charging" will not charge device very quickly, buti does supplement battery life quite nicely. since open wifi is my only internet source atm, I use an fm tranmitter with a usb port to listen to pandora in my car without draining battery at all. actually slowly charges if screen is off.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
I'm just trying to figure out if there is something wrong with my NC or it's charger.

Sent from my XDA app on my Nook Color
[Nook Color General] cutterjohn:
Dunno, but I finally broke down and bought a NC yesterday morning.

Had a b!tch of a time inserting the mini-USB cable, which presumably should not be the case. Managed to get it charged. Mine came OOB w/a 98% charge!

Then stupidly I removed the cable, but wanted to sideload a book shortly afterwards via Calibre and again had a b!tch of a time getting the mini-USB cable inserted. (Only mini-USB device that I have, so no other cable to compare with.)

Can't even get it to insert this morning, so I'm giving up for now and back this one goes.

Not real impressed so far with the build quality of a $250 device. Arguably OOB both the Pandigital Novel and Augen Gentouch were better. To make matters worse it doesn't even come close to the gTab's build quality either, which I was expecting it to be closer to.

Funny note in the manual that I noticed while browsing through it(checking to see if they maybe had a sneaky trick/lock to insert/remove mini-USB), and found a line:

"do NOT turn off NC while charging"?!

I usually turn off my devices while charging as they'll charge a bit more quickly, typically...
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
I would suggest that rather than relying on the battery percentages, start looking at the actual mV readings of the Spare Parts/Battery Information. I say this because I've seen android have fits trying to give accurate battery percentage readings. I'll put mine on the wall charger now and post the max mV level I can reach. Perhaps others can as well?
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Ok I just put my NC on charge and the battery was reading 13% and showing a 3601mV reading.
[Nook Color General] cutterjohn:
My replacement NC, whose USB/charge cable inserts MUCH more easily that #1's did, came OOB @ 98% too, but #2 took FOREVER to charge to green... touch screen on this one is supersensitive as well... now to check for dead pixels, hot pixels, and chipped screen...

Getting tired of going to B&N, and their CS wasn't exactly wonderful as they were going to try telling me that #1's cable/USB port were fine and dandy until I made him check that the LED wasn't coming on & that the demo unit inserted more readily and further into the socket, just like #2 did which I checked right at the register but didn't linger to check for dead pixels, etc. as I was holding up the checkout line(@ 9a?!).

I went to look at one a few weeks ago too at that same store, and the woman at the Nook kiosk wasn't very interested selling. (She'd rather continue reading her NC than trying to sell one.)

#2 also came upside down in the box, i.e. the tab on the protective plastic to pull out the NC was at the end that doesn't open...

B&N needs some serious QA/CS/sales training... esp. with their crap return policy... well 13d to shake down and see if anything else falls off...
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Well, my NC has been on the charger for about 2 hours now. It shows 100% and the mV reading is 4183. So, charge your up to whatever it will go to and check the mV reading in Spare Parts.

BTW, If this was my NC and having the issues that you are describing, I would unroot (8X reset and then 3 Button Data Wipe) and redo the autonooter 12.25.

Good luck.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
Ok, i'll give it a go tonight. What is mV? and what is the max mV i should expect from a full charge? 4183?
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
I just looked. 55% and 3795 mV. How is that?

Sent from my XDA app on my Nook Color
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Not sure. When I get home I'll play some game and watch some videos to drain the battery and see what I have at 55%. Charge yours up and let us know what you have 1. When the charger turns off and 2. if possible what you have at 100%.
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
You should get something pretty close to 4183. And mV stands for millivolts.

Good luck.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
Ok. Charged overnight without issue. Go figure. Battery level 100%. 4190 mV.

Sent from my XDA app on my Nook Color
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Ah, the power of words!!! We fixed it just by talking about it!!:D

Well, the next time it does the wonky charging, check the mV level and let us know.

Good luck with this.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
Ugh. It happened again. I drained the battery down to about 26% and plugged it in a few hrs again while I napped. I just woke up and the dang thing's light was off and it had only charged to 36% (3729 mV). What gives?

I think I may bring it in. Ugh.

Sent from my XDA app on my Nook Color
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Have you reset back to stock yet? If not, do the 8X boot interruption and then the 3 button data reset. You will have to re-register your nook color with B&N. Your NC will then be back to 100% stock and you can see if the problem persists. If it does, I would contact B&N's customer service.

If you could borrow a charger, you could perhaps determine if it's the charger or the NC.

Good luck.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
No. Haven't done that yet.

Sent from my XDA app on my Nook Color
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Well, doing that will tell you if the problem is related to rooting or not. And you will need it back to stock before you get too involved with Customer Service.

Good luck.
[Nook Color General] weili3d:
My nookcolor could charge, but could not sideload. So I took the device, the cable and the charger to a local BN store. The customer service clerk tested and found the cable bad. They exchanged the cable for me. If you still have problems with either charging or sideloading, you may want to visit a local BN store, if it is convenient for you.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
I'm thinking it's the cable right now. I just took my husband's Galaxy S cable and plugged it into my NC and the NC screen turned on right away, meaning it recognized it. If I put the NC cable in, it doesn't do that at all. I jiggled the NC cable some and the NC would light up here and there for a second and then stop. So annoying! I'm bringing my cable back to B&N tomorrow.

I cannot believe how many people are experiencing quality issues with the NC. It's starting to sound like a great idea, with embarrassing execution.
[Nook Color General] NykoNako:
I had a similar problem with my first Nook Color.

At some point, computers could not recognize it and it wouldn't charge properly. I tried different computers and a different Nook USB Cable. I restocked it and the issue was still occuring. I noticed the issue happened after the Nook display went to sleep while the Nook was mounted to the computer (was in middle of file transfer). Does sleep turn off USB?

I'm wondering:

- if the device going to sleep wihle it's mounted corrupts something?

- only corrupts something because USB Debugging is on?

Not sure what caused it, it was also one of the Nooks that needs you to angle the USB cable upward to get it in the Nook.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
I'm not sure if ours is the same issue. I'm really not sure what to think. I just fully charged my NC to 100% with my husbands Galaxy S cable. It took awhile but at least i have a juiced up device again. I'm going to take the cable back tomorrow or Tuesday and exchange it. Once I get that replaced, I'll work on getting the computer to recognize it again. I've been using adb wireless to do what I need, so it's been ok.
