If you took the RUU_signed.nbh file and copied it then renamed it leoimg.nbh and placed it on the root of your SD card. (it has to be on the root of our SD card) Then the bootloader should automaticly say searching on the screen and then promt you to press the end button if you want to flash the image.

Just in case you do not know what the root of your SD card is. It is what you see when you first pull up your SD card in your phone or on the computer. The leoimg.nbh can not be in a folder on your SD card.
[HD2 General] azreal8:
hmm, i actually

formatted the to FAT32 my 2gig card,

copied over the file and renamed to LEOIMG.nbh to the card.

there's nothing on the sd card but the LEOIMG.nbh file.

i think my problem is not knowing how to create root directory?

where have i gone wrong?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
If you have reformatted your SD card and the only thing on it iscthe LEOIMG.nbh file then you shouln'be having any trouble with your HD2 recognizing it and asking you if you want to flash it when the bootloader comes up. Do this, hold both volume up and down buttons down while powering on your HD2 and see if it ask you if you want to flash the leoimg.nbh file from your SD card. If so follow the on screen directions to flash the image, it should tell you to press the end button. If it ask if you want to reset your HD2 then this was invading and just press the volume down button as you don't need to reset your HD2. I was told the other day you had to do this to flash via SD card not just hold the volume down button and power on. But I find it hard to believe the XDA mods would have stickied a threadcthat is missinforming people bit this is worth a try.If it works I owe someone an appology.
[HD2 General] Boradan:
did you format your card in windows? If so, get the Panasonic SD Card Format utility (v 3.0). (SDFormatter)

Sometimes the bootloader doesnt like windoze method of formatting the card.

Search the HD2 forums and you will find the utility linked somewhere.

Also, IF you have a 2GB card or less, I dont think you need to press the vol down button on booting. The bootloader automatically searches the card for leoimg.nbh and uses it if its there.

Found the link HERE

Also, you dont create a 'root' folder. You had it right with the leoimg.nbh being the only file on the card
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Not trying to be an ass here, bit yes you do have to hold the volume button down to get the bootloader to come up then it does trying auto search you are speaking of. If you do not Bering up bootloader it will just try to boot normally. When you manually call for bootloader by holding down the volume down button it stopped the normal boot process so that you can flash a ROM either by SD card or RUU.
[HD2 General] azreal8:
i tried the panasonic formatting and followed the procedures but the phone still does not go or enable me to choose to boot from the image.

i've tried just doing a reset and now the phone touch screen seems to be dead.

i think i'm going to need to defect to an iphone or something now. my hd2 is unusable now.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I hate to mention this as it might prove me wrong, but I was told in another area of the HD2 forums that if you are having trouble flashing via SD card to bold both volume up and down buttons down and power on your HD2 and this will put the phone into recovery mode. Now this was the first I had heard of this and I am not awarecof te HD2 having a recovery mode persay but it is worth a shoot. Let me know if this works cause if it does I owe someone a appology.
[HD2 General] azreal8:
thanks..if the recovery mode exists, it didn't work for me holding down vol up and down and powering up. it took me to the same part where it asked me to select to restore manufacturer default.

i still can't get into the boot image screen by holding vol down and powering....grrrr

i would flash via activesyn but my phone isn't even recognised by xp or windows7.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Well that pretty much confirms what I knew that dude was completely wrong. Anyway what do you mean XP will not recognize your HD2? Do you mean you can not get it to give you access to your HD2 via ActiveSync? Do you have ActiveSync installed o your computer?
[HD2 General] azreal8:
yeh it used to sync up and flash just fine but it suddenly stopped working.

i reinstalled activesync and all and still no difference hence attempting the sd card reflash. failing a solution i've given up and decided to get a new phone now :(
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Oh man that sucks, but I guess we all have time to do what we have to do sometimes. Keep trying though until you do buy another phone as your HD2 might come back to you or you might find what the issue is. I really do not understand why it will not sync up with your computer or flash via SD card. Have you tried a different computer by chance and a different USB cable? Heck I would even go buy a cheap new 2 gig SD card and try that too. Something has got to work.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amstaff72:
I'm going to root my epic 4g tomorrow just for mobile ap. I'm anoob and have never done anything on this phone before. I have searched the forums on how to add the mobile ap and the only thing I find is,root your epic then flash mobile ap. So my question, how do I flash ap after rooting?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maldito.boss:
well u really need to root for anything also u wanna do ........ but if u need wirless tether just download it from market and u are good to go.. no need of any flashing!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amstaff72:
I am needing to "flash" ap for a tablet I got. The regular tether won't work because of adhock. I am going to try and do the 1 click root and there are pretty good step by step directions for that. I'm just not sure what "flash" means exactly and how to do that for mobile ap. I've looked and can't find the directions like the rooting process has. I would like to learn and maybe do some new roms and kernals down the road too.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Continue to reaf up before you gret into any of that stuff. You can seriously damage your phone. just do your homework. We are not here to spoon feed you. Im not trying to be rude

Follow the instructions for the 1 click root and clock work mod recovery found in the wiki. Then follow the instructions in each thread that you wanna flash. In order to flash anything you need to be in cwm (clockwork mid recovery). To access cwm after installing you power off your phone. Once off you press and hold volume down, camera, and power untill you enter recovery. cwm has green text and that's where you wanna be. Samsung recovery had blue text you don't wanna be there. once in cwm you goto instal zip from sd card and choose the zip of what you wanna flash. Once your done flashing reboot your phone and you should be good. If you don't indeed my instructions then you shouldn't be modifing your phone to begin with. Like I said before read, read and re-read

He is right too many people in irc, asking questions that didn't read the wiki.

Its your phone if you value it please read the info posted.

I never mind helping but sometimes it gets frustrating ,when someone says whats Odin.

That lets me know they want a hand holding session.

Ill walk them through:rolleyes: the process but at least read the wiki.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boominz28:
one of the things i dont understand is people want to wireless tether and say they have to root, this phone is capable of doing it out of the box. why root to do that?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amstaff72:
Boomin - when you tether with the apps from market they are ad hock and not all devices work with that. If you root and use mobile ap you can tether tablets, other phones, 360's just more devices work.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boominz28:
ok , i guess i havent needed that so i never looked for those uses
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amstaff72:
I know some of you were able to learn all this without needing help or anything, but for me I get a little confused sometimes. I did read the wiki, that's how I knew what I needed, I read everything on 1 click rooting and 50 some pages on ap. The problem I get being new with this is some of the threads can be 100's of pages and by the time you get to page 10 the way to do what you're looking for has already changed 15 times, purple call the same thing different names, new things are added to download or flash and stuff like that. But believe me I understand why some get irritated. Anyway I was able to get it done and thanks for the help sorry for the ignorant question,but I'm sure it won't be my last one.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
I'm glad you got it. Where here to help bu we can only hold your hand for so long. just do what you did for mobile ap everytime you got a question. Read, read, read some more. Search both xda and google. Search again then still nothing then ask.

Haterz gonna hate. Just keep hatin. I brush them haterz off. It ain't my fault my epic's e-penis is bigger then the evo's e-penis.

hey everyone, i flashed version 1.0 of andromeda recently and i have noticed that my data speeds (especially market downloads) are very slow. i couldn't even complete a download of speedtest to actually determine my data speeds. over wifi i'm fine, but on att's network i can not finish market downloads. to fix this, i did an odin flash back to stop and a master clear, but even on stock now my market downloads are extreeeemely slow over 3g.

i dont see how this has anything to do with andromeda because after 2 stock flashes and 2 master clears i still have trouble with the market. just wondering if anyone else is having this problem or if there's anything else i can do to fix it.

ETA: ive used several other roms/kernels and have not had this issue until i installed andromeda. stock flash + master clear should negate any effects of a bad install, but i figured this might be relevant.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:

The current version of YOUTUBE (2.1.6) doesnot play videos in HQ and videos in normal quality are also somewhat not very lubricated. The previous version of YouTube was great and worked perfectly. I have googled for previous YouTube versions and tried several limks but they dont work. There are some very old links on XDA but they dont work as well.

I would be very thankful if somebody posts a link to YouTube

Hello,

I am trying to permanently brick a evo and get rid of clockwork mod.

I cracked my whole screen and am trying to get a replacement.

What would be the best way to brick my phone and get rid of clockwork mod?

I already tried un rooting, got s-on again but couldn't delete superuser which they check.

Suggestions?

Thanks all!

Do they do this at sprint? Also I have insurance on the phone and brought it in they said they couldn't after they saw the superuser icon :/

Any ideas? Is the 35 with insurance or without
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Bring it in to a different store. Rooting a phone cannot crack a screen, obviously. They were just being dicks. Also, if you decide to go the insurance route, they don't care if you're rooted.

I flashed the following KA6, and I didn't realize it would wipe my apps and contacts. I took a nanroid backup using CWM beforehand, and I'm trying to boot into CWM to restore my backup. However whenever I tell CWM to reboot into recovery or to restore the backup, the phone reboots into the standard Samsung Andriod e3 recovery, which does not allow me to restore my backup.

How can I get CWM to boot up so I can do a restore?

I have flashed, deleted the clockwork recovery files, re-flashed, rebooted, etc, etc.

I can only get the standard blue recovery mode. I run reinstall packages and all it does is quickly shows it's attempting to install the clockwork update.zip file but just boots back into the blue standard recovery mode. Yes I have confirmed the update.zip file is there. I have removed it, reflashed, rebooted, etc. Running reinstall packages takes me into a constant loop.

This really sux.

I erased any existing update.zip, then I told clockworkmod to reinstall, boot into recovery, in the blue menu I selected reinstall package, it rebooted into blue recovery again, and I selected reinstall package for the second time and then it finally rebooted into clockworkmod.

In the mist of my experimenting trying to get this to work, I did use the app Quickboot which is on the phone already to boot the phone into download mode.

[Nook Color General] DwayneA:
Greetings,

This is my first post here, so forgive me for posting in the general forum and not in the dev forums (I have to accumulate 10 posts to use the dev forums). I have a very important and worthwhile project that I'm hoping will interest a few devs here.

I am attempting to build a proof-of-concept for a very large educational institution that is considering implementation of ebook readers. Obviously, stock ebook readers are not up to what we need, and more robust tablets like the Galaxy Tab are cost prohibitive given the goal of distribution of these devices to tens of thousands of K-12 students. I don't want to be stuck with a single book distribution method, so I am looking for some standard Android flavor rather than a Nook-like interface.

So, here's my challenge to you. I would like to use the Nook Color (the $250 price point is perfect) to build a proof-of-concept low-end, semi-restricted Android tablet. I am looking for:

- Android 2.2

- Flash Support

- Ability to run:

- Dolphin Browser

- Regular Nook Android App

- Kindle App

- Google Book Reader App

- Adobe Reader App

- Some (undefined) Calculator App

- Stock Android Calendar App

- Stock Android Mail App

- Google Maps App

- Google Earth App

- Stock Android Gallery App or Equivalent

- Some (undefined) File Manager App

- Some (undefined) Note Taking App

I would also like the ability to load APK files (that we write) without the use of the Android Market. And . . . I need the final installation to *NOT* have root capability.

Anyone have a ROM to start this?

Also, while I'm somewhat familiar with rooting other Android devices, I'm not a developer and not a linux expert. I employ developers that have written a few Android apps, so they can handle the installation if necessary.

Any takers?

You can contact me off-list if you like at Dwayne at leeschools.net.

Thanks,

Dwayne

Wouldn't a $200 netbook be a far more usable tool to a student?
[Nook Color General] lafester:
good thing you didn't post this in development.

once nook is updated to 2.2 this will basically all be possible with just root.

supposed to be released soon....

if you want a custom rom those will be around soon as well.

--edit--

i see you want this all without root. i don't believe that is possible. good luck though :)
[Nook Color General] DwayneA:
There are specific reasons we are not considering netbooks for this project, beyond the scope of this discussion. For the purpose of this POC, we are only looking at touch-based slates.
[Nook Color General] ChrisJ951:
I can't think of a way to fully disable root without someone being able to add it back. With that said would you be able to just delete the marketplace to make it "locked down" after installing everything? Possible disable super-level access as well?
[Nook Color General] DwayneA:
I've not seen any confirmation that they are going to update to 2.2. I've only seen rumors to that effect. Do you have evidence to the contrary, because that would be great.

Additionally, the reason I'd like to involve the devs is because it is highly unlikely that B&N will release it with anything close to a stock 2.2 install. It will likely still require quite a bit of work to function normally. Hopefully I'm wrong on that account, but based on B&N's business model, I anticipate that they will do their best to prevent it from being used as a full tablet. They want to sell books. I don't think they want to sell devices without books. Not enough margin in the devices.

Perhaps I'm wrong related to their business model. I have approached B&N and requested an NDA to work with the Nook product team to see if they are interested in working together with us on a customized version. My feeling is that if they make very little on the device (with the goal of making the majority of their profit from content), they'll decline this offer.
[Nook Color General] DwayneA:
We could remove super user, but I'd also like to prevent users from killing services. I anticipate that we'll need some additional security apps that need to run full-time. One of our big challenges is that, by law, whenever we provide an Internet-capable device for students to take home, we are required to filter Internet. That's a huge task. On a PC, we an lock it down and force traffic through our filters from outside. From an Android device, we don't know how to handle that yet. We have a few approaches. I'm in discussion with M86 regarding an Android equivalent to their mobile client.

But . . . we have a lot more experience locking down a Windows or Mac PC than a phone OS. Most phone OSes are built from the perspective of a consumer, where the user is free to add/remove apps. We need a way to deal with that. Haven't gotten that far yet. The first order of business was to see if we can build our base functionality in a $250 device.
[Nook Color General] madfatter:
Dude, all of those hings are capable. Have you done any reading in this forum. Just get a nookie froyo 2.2 card set one up the way you want. uninstall super user and market. make lotsa copies of card and stick it in nook. If you really want you can also trash the firmware on the internal memory so it will not even book the stock nook firmware.

enjoy!
[Nook Color General] thirteen113:
Consideration should be taken that rooting technically voids the manufacturer's warranty. Other than that, using the NookColor as a tablet is still a gamble in terms of getting a rock-solid and reliable device. Supporting the devices may be problematic.

Fortunately, the devs here are doing great work and I fully expect (hope) that it will be a rock-solid reliable device very soon.

You will probably also want to avoid booting from the microsd because they are easy to remove.

Filtering could be done with a VPN.
[Nook Color General] madfatter:
to avoid removal of micro sd, just put a little sugra on the break where the nook opens for the micro sd, sort of lieka warrenty sticker
