I know some other people have reported this with their NC, but I can't seem to find the threads. I was trying to use mine the other day while it was charging and the on-screen keyboard was putting duplicate and incorrect characters on the screen. Just wondering what solutions people have found for this problem ?

Try a different power block, the one that came with my wife's nook gets really hot and makes the screen freak out, but her palm pre power block works perfectly.

It's somewhat of a known issue

i think i'm going to try to get my charger replaced and see if that address the issue
[Nook Color General] Hadelo:
I experienced the same problem yesterday.

But I was charging it next to my MacBook Pro. When I increased the distance between the MBP and the Nook everything worked find again.

Maybe it has something to do with magnetc/electirc fields?!

Don't know.
[Nook Color General] deezldub:
try another charger- with suggestion

Try another usb charger, this helped me resolve the issue.

I got a Scosche Dual Usb charger (with ipad support) from staples (US based office supply store for $25.

It has a 2.1A usb port and a 1.0A usb port, so it is more than enough current to charge as fast as the original and the keyboard issue is resolved. I typed a paragraph or two and didnt have 1 repeat or stutter. THe BN charger must not be sufficiently filtered and the NC susceptible to the noise. Thats just a jut reaction but the charger resolved the issue for me.

Scosche model USBH3 Revive II dual port home charger.

I have succsessfully setup ubuntu on my phone with the everyday (ubuntu1.1) image. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=823370

I got Hamachi (networking) working with it, however it was never able to mount windows shares. It would mount linux however.

Anyway I was playing with rootstock https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch

to make my own maveric image

Its really much better ,faster and cheaper than the above mentioned.

Have hamachi networked to home computer reading and writing to windows 7 nicely.

Running many programs

Just one problem :[ the terminal I does not work. I have to use adb shell

my reaserch says if system cannot write to /dev/pts terminal wont work.

I get "Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)" when using apt-get(which i never had an issue with, with the old image)

Could this be of any help: "I have learned that some things, especially grub and update-initramfs, need to have more of a running system to operate than chroot can provide, including having a "real" /dev tree active.

SO before you chroot, you need to mount some things from your running system into the place you're going to chroot into. If your target system is mounted onto /mnt, here's what you do

Code:

$ sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev

$ sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc

$ sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys

NOW chroot into /mnt and hopefully you can successfully apply your updates

I saw someone used usb hub contact usb mouse and keyboard. Can I use this and run Ubuntu or Win 95, like a real computer?

sorry for my English . I am Taiwanese.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kholk:
Yes, you can.

Ubuntu for HD2 does support USBHost... and I think also some kernels built for Android.

Win95 is bootable from Windows Mobile, x86 emulated on QEMU.. it should be a bit slow.. and I don't think that on Windows Mobile there's the support for USBHost... so.. You can, but only with Linux (Ubuntu/Android).
[Droid 2 Global General] phaim:
Just saw a series of tweets from @P3Droid saying they're looking for a soft-bricked D2G or Pro to test SBF files on. He said he's in the Phoenix area so do yourself and everyone else a favor if you've got a phone to send him and get that sucker fixed!

Edit: At 11:30 p.m. EST on 1/2/2011, @P3Droid tweeted that they will be publicly releasing the SBF files for both the D2G and Pro within the next 12 hours. I'll post a link to their posting once it's up. Note that they caution you to grab the stuff ASAP as it will likely be taken down by Moto via C&D (not that there won't be plenty of mirrors after that)

Edit2: It looks like links are up on Team Black Hat's forum. I assume since this is now for free there is no issue linking to their forum but if anyone better versed than I in the rules disagrees, please say so and I'll take the link down.

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...id-2-global-sbf-file-2-4-29-full-rsdlite.html

Again, thanks to Team Black Hat for the great work they do and for the decision to rapidly release this SBF publicly. Hopefully the short window between it being kept exclusive to their app and the public release will not deter folks from supporting the cause.
[Droid 2 Global General] M3TR1C:
bout time. This will really get the modding community going for the global finally. Hear that all they need to do now is test it and they'll be set.
[Droid 2 Global General] boomertwo:
Yes this is very good news.

See my post down further as to see why I say this isn't good news.

Hint: This smells like a scam.
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
i hope that this is true, then we could start seeing a lot more modds dfor the d2g
[Droid 2 Global General] botnryan:
Of course, 2 days after i send my brick in to verizon. good news tho :D
[Droid 2 Global General] boomertwo:
If you check the twitter account it says that the phone must be mailed just like the band unlock guy... I smell a scam and I for one do not recommend sending any phones by mail to anyone you don't know. You're just asking to have your phone stolen.

I wouldn't trust anyone who says that you must mail the phone to them or that you must meet them in person. If they really want to be trust worthy they will just give you the link to the file straight up. If they needed testers then they can setup a private channel on irc or something.
[Droid 2 Global General] cellzealot:
This is not a scam.

All of the members of TBH have NS(Non Secured) flash dev phones because that is what we personally chose to spend our own money on.

We also have consumer hardware test phones for other models but not the D2G or Pro.

We cannot test the SBF files we got recently on our phones and cannot afford to purchase these models at full retail to test the files.

We are well established in the community and have provided virtually all of the leaked SBF files for all of the Droid devices in existence.

Our record of community service stands for itself and has no comparable parallel.

Everybody wants these files and we want to release them so users who have soft bricked can recover and everyone can breathe a little easier modding these phones.

I would ask anyone who questions our motives how much of their own money they have spent on providing the community with such valuable resources as these files?

Anybody?

I thought so...
[Droid 2 Global General] lilmoney30:
Beautiful post and well said!
[Droid 2 Global General] boomertwo:
I do apologize as I'm new to having a Motorola device and thus do not know all of the developers yet for this brand of hardware. I recently came over from an HTC phone which has the Unrevoked team behind it for rooting purposes and so forth.

I only claimed that this seemed like a scam as I'm cautious about these short of things and your request asking for phones to be mailed seems very much so a tail tell sign of a scam. Again I apologize if this is your preferred operating procedure.

If I had better information about your group/organization then I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. If I had a soft bricked phone and had this information before hand I would have been more willing to help out. Though I personally still do not want to ship any phone via the mail. I would prefer an in person meeting where this test could then be conducted.

I too understand these phones are not cheap and it's not easy for developers to obtain consumer devices for testing purposes. Since these phones cost so much is why I'm cautious when it comes to someone asking for a phone to be mailed in.
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
I think the best way to test whether its an sbf or not is to make a new thread with links to it and a disclaimer, if it works, hey, that's awesome, if it doesnt, who cares, the phones its being tested on are already softbricked anyhow.

My question is, what if it is the sbf? Besides fixing softbricked phones, what more can be done with it?
[Droid 2 Global General] jimmydafish:
We will not release anything until we have had a chance to thoroughly test it for ourselves, not all things we get are worth releasing.

To be honest this thread started good but really went silly rather quickly. Neither Cell nor myself need to defend the work we have done for the community and to state that we are scamming is asinine. As Cell stated we have lots of devices in many different flavors, they are not consumer phones therefore we can not always test things that we would like to.

I'm sure you know what TBH does and what we have done, if not you can most likely find 1 or 2 posts about us online somewhere. This is not a question of us not knowing what the files are, we know what we have in hand therefore that is not the question being asked. The request is for a consumer device to test this on.

So if you know someone with a phone that is inoperable have them contact us, so we can help them out and in return help out the entire community.

[Droid 2 Global General] strandedhuman:
Has anyone offered to send a phone to you yet? Where are you located?
[Droid 2 Global General] cellzealot:
No, I went and bought a new D2G from VZW tonight so I can manage this myself.

Once testing is complete we will decide when and how to release the SBF file.

You're welcome...
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
sorry if I came off as a bit "silly" i do know about tbh and their contributions to the droid community. i was just suggesting an alternative way of testing this, but i understand your concern about releasing it publicly, it may cause more harm than good.

while im here, might i ask if the 3g mobile hotspot patch can be made for the d2g, seeing as how you have a d2g now? ive been waiting a while hoping that someone can make the patch for the d2g.
[Droid 2 Global General] phaim:
Hey guys, sorry for the harassment/doubters. Unfortunately, the couple of posters who got on here were too lazy to follow the links on your twitter account to the website where it can be clearly seen just how crazy active you guys are on the Android scene and how reasonable you are with these types of requests.

Thanks so much for all the work you do to make Android phones do what they're supposed to do (stupid carriers with their stupidity). You guys do great work and I, for one, appreciate it a lot! Looking forward to the release :D
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
This is very generous from your side!

I don't know about others, but I think we should establish a fund or something like that to cover such expenses for our development teams. I am totally willing to shell some money for having the peace of mind of having the SBF file for my D2G laying around ready shall the need arise.

Right now (without SBF) I am reluctant of touching anything on my phone due to lack of safe way out. I am not in the States and exchanging the phone will cost me considerable amount of money and efforts.

Not sure if I should start a new thread for this as cellzealot already bought the phone, but I if this gets somehow organized, I am in with $20 to offset the expense. $20 is much less than what I would have to pay to ship the phone anywhere for whatever reason.

cellzealot, does your team have a paypal or something we can use for the purpose?
[Droid 2 Global General] ZeroOveride:
I have a Droid2Global that boots but is stuck at the stupid Backup Manager screen and doesn't allow me to go anywhere else. If you want, I'm more than happy to try the SBF out on that D2G if you send me the SBF. PM me if you want me to try it.
[Droid 2 Global General] cellzealot:
@leobg: Thanks for the offer of support.

We really don't care for the practice of plastering donate buttons all over in every forum where we post...so we don't do it.

The best way to support TeamBlackHat and the continued availability of these files and our other development projects is to purchase our app in the market for the extremely reasonable sum of $2.00 US. It is just a downloader that provides our users with access to all of the various leaks and other files. There is a filter that only presents content for the specific connected device.

There is also a donate button at the top of the screen for further support if you are feeling generous, thanks. The files are made available via the app exclusively for some period and then posted publicly for everyone later on MyDroidWorld. http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/forum.php

That is our way of providing a perk for our supporters and also assuring that all content is made available to the entire community.

This also prevents us from being accused of "selling leaks", despite the fact that those making such accusations have no clue whatsoever how these files are acquired or at what cost.

This is what we do and have been doing for most of the past year or so since the advent of Motorola Android phones with the original Droid.

There is no profit in this at all...trust me...it's just a way for us to absorb some of the cost of our passion for these devices and serve a unique and critical function to meet need for these kinds of files.

Nobody else has consistently proven to have access to these files except us and we have released every flash file for every Motorola Droid device in existence with the exception of two that RootzWiki released.

We don't do a lot of self promotion and prancing around on forums attracting attention to ourselves, that's not our way.

Thanks again for your interest and support! :)

[Droid 2 Global General] gamecheater2009:
Hey, I have soft bricked my phone and need the SBF for the Droid 2 Global. We downloaded the app on my friends Droid 1, but it won't let us get the SBF for my phone and since I can't get into Android I don't know what to do. Is there anyway to get it? We have no problem supporting the community, but there's no way to access the SBF needed, if it has indeed been released to the TBH app. Thanks in advance.
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
Hey, quick question, once I've downloaded the sbf file, how do I use it?
[Droid 2 Global General] :
Search RSD Lite 4.9, install that file on pc, turn phone off, power up phone while holding the up arrow on physical keyboard. You will then be in the boot loader screen, from there plug in the USB cord to phone, run RSD Lite, it should connect, once it connects use RSD Lite to browse to SBF file and then flash.

Make sure your battery is more than 50% charged.
[Droid 2 Global General] gamecheater2009:
Nevermind, the gods have looked down upon us and we found someone with a D2G that we used to get the app and sbf. Thanks for all the great work guys.
[Droid 2 Global General] VelvetHammer18:
Newbie (to Android) here...where can I download the sbf? I have RSD Lite, now I just need to find the SBF. Thanks!

edit..

got it fixed...

use RDSlite 4.9.. not 4.7
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
You get the sbf from the team black hat app on the market, its $1.99 I believe
[Droid 2 Global General] VelvetHammer18:
Does anyone know if there is a location to download the file on the internet? I bought the TBH app, but my wireless is broken and it seems impossible to download without a wireless connection.
[Droid 2 Global General] botnryan:
the sbf file really needs to be available via internet. Because how is a person with a bricked phone supposed to attain the sbf if ...they have a bricked phone.
[Droid 2 Global General] VelvetHammer18:
Agreed, my phone isn't bricked but I don't think I'm going to be able to complete the download without my Wi-Fi working. I'm hoping the sbf restore will help resolve that.
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
yeah, tbh's philosophy is that they will make the sbf available only through their app for not and sometime in the future they will release it to the public, cant say i agree, but i understand. i downloaded the sbf and have it on my phone in case something goes wrong.
[Droid 2 Global General] Firedrake1:
So, i have the app and a D2G and there is nothing appearing in the app. It jsut has a blank screen with a paypal button. Anyone else with this issue?
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
Check to see if there's an update
[Droid 2 Global General] blackbeans:
Could you tell me how could I purchase this sbf? My D2G is bricked so I could only purchase it out of the phone method! :(

Thank you!
[Droid 2 Global General] Firedrake1:
Ok so I'm still really new to the droid scene. I have the basic understanding that an sbf will set the system of a phone back to factory defaults. What is the difference between the System/boot sbf and the full sbf? There is so much info on how to use sbf and nothing on exactly what they do/don't do. Thanks in advance!

Time-sensitive news guys:

@P3Droid tweeted at about 11:30 p.m. EST today (that's 1/2/11) that they'll be releasing the SBF for D2G and DPro to the public (i.e., non-paid or free) within the next 12 hours. The tweet cautions everyone to grab it quick before they get hit with a cease & desist by Moto. I'll try to update the original post with this info and maybe put up a link to the place P3Droid plans to post it up when it goes live.

Just want to share some xperience

When I installed the SBF file to my Droid 2 I got two errors:

1. Before any data was copied to the phone I got the error:

"Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. Phone[0000]: Error sending JUMP command Device API Error..."

This was fixed charging the battery(because the battery was at 20%, I think that the battery should be full to avoid issues).

2.- when the SBF file was almost installed (at the 99%), the error was:

ERROR: Flash failure: Phone[0000]: Error switching phone to BP Pass through mode (Error Code: be),

Detailed Error Details: Direction of the Error=No Direction, Command Value=0, Code Group Number=257

I have windows 7 x64, I tried many SDL versions, none worked, after the hope was almost over, I installed ubuntu (using wubi) and I tried to flash from the linux console, the result: the phone was successfully flashed.

Hope this can help someone.
[Droid 2 Global General] strakajagr:
So you're telling me the only way to flash an SBF was to do so via linux?
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
No. The error mentioned in the above post is due to not all drivers having been installed.
