Can you elaborate a little further on what commands you used so I might be able to add it into a script.
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
i dont think so... what installs busybox?
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
No offense, but this isn't a worry any more anyway. We already have a CWM flashable update.zip that updates you to 1.1, but does not harm your root or installed aps. Why are people bothering with all this "blocking" nonsense?

Attached is a working sqlite3 binary. Copy it to /system/bin and you will be able to edit sqlite databases on the nook itself.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attached Files sqlite3.7z (11.9 KB, 56 views)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

And I found a sqlite3 sample that will need to be edited like somthing as follows:

In your terminal,

$ adb pull /data/data/com.bn.nook.devicemanager/databases/settings.db settings.db

$ sqlite3 settings.db

sqlite> update secure set value='manual' where name='an entry for OTAs???-Dont know the parameter here'

;

sqlite> .q

$ adb push /data/data/com.bn.nook.devicemanager/databases/settings.db settings.db

$ adb reboot

Hope this helps, I dont know the input name for placeholder.

Ok i installed busy box off the market, and ran the script!!! success. when i rebooted it told me that 1.1.0 has been installed. and it now shows 1.1.0 in the about.

i suggest noting busy box in the original post.
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
not everyone wants to upgrade to 1.1, or has cwm installed. :-)
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
It says 1.1 is installed but its really not. (Spoofed it) :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Uh... why? What is there about 1.1 not to want? And if you are ok with doing all of this to block an update, there is no reason not to have CWM (which is quite stable). Sorry, but this really is all just wasted effort..
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
Took me 2 seconds to throw together...took longer to upload then anything. Its just for people who want it. If you dont want it I dont want you to have it :/
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Don't get me wrong, im not knocking your work, just people's reasoning for wanting it done in the first place. I understand before the update.zip was developed, since it would break root and mess up your apps. But now, there is no reason not to take the update; thus the continued demand for this is puzzling.
[Nook Color Android Development] rajendra82:
If you really want the OTA update to stop, take a look at the updater-script inside the sideload_update.zip file from B&N. The first two lines read:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "zoom2" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "zoom2");

I think those are set in the build.prop file. Change either ro.build.product or ro.product.device to something other than zoom2 (say zoom2a), and the rest of the script won't continue. This is what people are seeing when the file gets downloaded OTA and then disappears without being applied. If for some reason you must avoid it, make that change and you will stop the update cold. Not sure what the side effects of making the change are, but there would be an easy way to revert by undoing the edits, if you need to.
[Nook Color Android Development] Mikroft:
Wasn't this already available from another forum member?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=930382

Seems a lot easier to just copy and replace build.prop with a filemanager.
[Nook Color Android Development] bonzer2u:
Yah go ahead and read thru the cwm thread and try to convince anyone in this forum that it is 100% stable. Not to suggest that anyones efforts are not welcome and appreciated but if you asked the actual devs involved I would bet they would not suggest so as well.

I for one have rooted twice (1.0 and 1.0.1) with autoroot and am 100% stable, never had a crash or the pleasure to have to restore/rebuild, not interested in the stock browser or anything else bn has to offer, quite happy and perhaps lucky with the way its workin now. I also dont appreciate being strong armed an update without a confirmation, hell even microbuddies doesnt have that kinda gawl.

I guess it will take one of the next of many 'future forced' updates from bn that bothches all the work that you have put into your NC and for whatever reason your recovery doesnt work and you are forced to rebuild from scratch before you realize that if you had a permenant block in place, you could have the time for outstanding efforts of the local devs to stabilize an upgrade path before you pulled the trigger?

The database hack appears to be best way to permanently kill OTA, no need for future updated spoof build.prop scripts (before you get hit) and no worries about being updated and possibly blown up while your sleepin and bn pushes an update out before you get the news.

or maybe its just me..........:confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] droidseban:
Exactly! If you are not diligently checking the forum everyday, you wouldn't know BN is pushing out 1.1 update and you wouldn't know there is a pre-nootered 1.1 version available. BN will update you OTA before you know any better and screw up your rooted setup. Hence the need for a permanent update block.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawk19:
Hello,

I have a DESIRE HD with the latest official rom, but I have trouble with my auto-rotate.

Only with the application NaviPanel HTC, impossible to get rotation on the navigation map.

You have the same problem? And I already tried the factory reset. For example the DESIRE Z, the rotation works with this App.

If you know how to turn on the rotation on this application or modify the registry or other, tell me.

Thank you.

Hello,

I want to buy a smartphone but I don't know which one to get.

Lately I have seen those cheap smartphones, such as the ZTE Blade.

Are those phones any good or I should look at something else such as HTC?

I am a programmer and i want to start learning android development.

[General Topics] copius:
The ZTE Blade definitely has one of the best features for the price point.

However, you should also consider if you're buying the phone for long term or short term while you learn about Android development.

The ZTE Blade may lack some features that you want/need when you develop an application.

[General Topics] TheBiles:
Get the HTC G2/Desire Z. You can get a brand new one on eBay for $400.
[General Topics] Essenar:
The advantages of HTC are "on average" better hardware, better community support (XDA started from HTC platforms) and "on average" less bloatware than other manufacturer carrier-specific devices.

The disadvantage are that HTC tends to wait until hardware has matured before adopting it. (Third generation Snapdragon, nVidia Tegra 2, etc) This tends to put HTC adopters at a hardware disadvantage in some cases.

The only feasible option over an HTC device, if you're going Android, is to go with a Nexus One or Nexus S. I've seen Nexus S go as low as $375 on Craig's List. The advantage of this device is that it's the "Android developer standard". Google will develop Android based on this device so because of that, Nexus S will get most of 2011's Android updates ahead of any other phone, almost months ahead.

Flashing those updates will also not void your warranty. Even with XDA developing 2.3 roms for new devices, flashing them runs the risk of voiding your warranty or making a user error that leads to a bricked device. I've never bricked a phone, but there are horror stories out there.

However, the disadvantage of the Nexus S is that it has no microSD slot so you're stuck with 16GB. And honestly, there ARE people who max out 16GB. Just look at the iPhone. They have 32GB versions of it and these devices quickly became multi-media devices. Games and apps are getting bigger.

The other disadvantage is that it's made by Samsung. Samsung is definitely not a fan favorite on this forum for their lack of support. While you're set for the entire year when it comes to updates on Android (and likely next year), if your device fails from a hardware defect, you have to resort to asking T-Mobile or worse, Samsung themselves for help.
[General Topics] GnatGoSplat:
I definitely recommend getting something with at least the 1GHz Snapdragon processor. It will be very responsive and fast. I have two devices with the MSM 528MHz processors, one a Touch Diamond running XDANDROID and the other a MyTouch 3G. Both devices, even overclocked to 614MHz, are laggy and slow.
[General Topics] tbo-art:
You can get different launchers from the market. And you could root it for custom roms.
[General Topics] ShadowReaperGR:
hmm i guess i will go with the htc desire.Nexus S is too expensive
[General Topics] tbo-art:
That is a good choose. And if you root it you could install android 2.3 if you want. ;)

[General Topics] olyloh6696:
Maate, if you want a basic, yet powerful cheap stock android device i would go for the Zte. i have one. they are incredibly cheap, with soecs that are 2/3 of a Nexus 1. it has WVGA AMOLED 3.5inch screen. Gigantic 512mb ram. 600mhz . For £100

How many htc phones can you find at that price :P thjs phone is bloat free, ideal for devs, 512mb ram !!!! alot to play with. better screen than the htcs. it kills th wildfire and legemd,, hero

the specs arent to great too. 1ghz snapdragon q8520 is quite old now. why did they use these in WP7?
[General Topics] GnatGoSplat:
Where would one find a ZTE for £100, and do they ship internationally? At US$158, that's a pretty good price for a GSM phone. I've been looking for an N1, but even used ones cost twice as much as what you say the ZTE costs.
[General Topics] olyloh6696:
They are £100 brand new at UK orange. hi can sim unlock them for FREE at the modaco forum.

At christmas, they even dropped to ONLY £85 + GIFTS!

i think that there have stopped the proditction off the smiled versions. luck i picked an amoled version back in november.

only gripe is orange bloatware but you can easily remove it with custom roms and tweaks.
[General Topics] GnatGoSplat:
Is that price carrier subsidized, requires contract?

They seem to be going for quite a bit more than that on eBay.

If you return it, you will want to flash it back to stock, if for no other reason to wipe your personal data from the device.
[G Tablet General] jwischka:
Obviously, but thanks for the heads up. I did flash back to stock, took it back to office depot, and had the manager take it out of the box, then use long fingernails to get the card locked in. Moral of the story: you have to push it *way* in.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Casey_boy:
My first thoughts were that this is pretty biased. On the right hand side of the draw you have two big players and a new gun, on the left you just have Android!

Anyhow, WP7 seems to be doing quite well. Currently (after my vote) WP7 has 70% of the vote.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Yeah that bracket is a fail. MeeGo and WebOS are outdated and dead in the water are they not? And what about Bada? It's a very valid entry.

If whomever set that up knew anything about smartphones, they'd know the main competitors are: android, ios, wp7, and blackberry. And even blackberry is on its way out. It's only got the hold it has now because of a past hold on the market.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ebosian:
The bracket could be more unforgiving. At least WP7 doesn't have to go against all 3 in the same draw. WP7 seems to be holding its own right now, but it looks like the "we-don't-all-have-touchscreens-yet" crew is not giving up on the bracket poll yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
I like webOS. But the choice in hardware is iffy, not to mention the boot up time that apparently takes ages.

BlackBerry OS is kind of boring with the sole exception of the PlayBook.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
My opinion that WebOS is one of the best OS ever developed. I would easily take WebOS over any of them, if I could. I believe the next round will have Android against WebOS for leader of the left bank and WP7 against iOS for leader of the right bank. The ultimate winner will be very interesting, though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Rouz.:
we are competing with blackberry ... lol

I didnt even know its an os!
[Windows Phone 7 General] ebosian:
Well in the next year or so, who knows what OS will be on top and which would be a after thought. After this year, it is hard to fathom any more new mobile operating system releases as the space is full. I think the bracket is more of a popularity contest rather than functionality contest. Saying that though, the bracket shows an impressive, albeit unofficial representation for WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ebosian:

[Windows Phone 7 General] padrino:

[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
lol I have no idea if that is the case in real life, but in terms of user base and top of mind awareness, that contest is rigged (or at least not accurate).

Also, lulz for wp7 having like 86% right now over iOS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I'm not surprised that webOS won, that simply means the Android fan club couldn't make it to the webpage. Android really isn't that good of an OS, it's memory management is suspect, it's basically a modern WinMo, the same OS that the world criticized. Google just marketed it, threw in a bigger app selection, and put it on prettier phones and the world fell in love with it. With that being said, webOS is a pretty solid OS for what it's worth.

Also, attack me all you want, but WP7 is a superior OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I'd agree with that. Microsoft is a huge company for a reason, from time to time they do know what they're doing. And wp7 is the next step in smartphones. It's just head and shoulders above the rest.

...they just have to fix the hanging marketplace errors...
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
that might be the dumbest take I've seen on these forums.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Luckily for me, your home seems to be in the Android sections, which makes your opinion idiotic and void, thanks for playing though, even though you provided absolutely nothing to this thread. You guys don't really need to get bitter over losing a bracket on a website, do you?
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
This is really going to be interesting. I predict it will be between WebOS and iOS and I really have no prediction of which one of those two outstanding mobile OSs would win. I feel like WebOS should win, but my nephew's Pixi has been a little bit buggy. iOS doesn't have bugs. So, in all likelihood, it might be iOS.

EDIT - I just looked at the iOS vs. WP7 poll results and WP7 has a huge lead. So it might be between WP7 and WebOS. In that case I would give the nod to WebOS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mike415:
WP7 vs iOS and WP7 is taking over 75%
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
Honestly, I think WebOS should win. Its a better OS overall when compared to the other platforms out there. The only problem is the hardware that comes with it. Palm/HP really needs to step there game up. And this coming from a WP7 advocate.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ebosian:
Quick Update. WebOS vs Windows Phone 50 ~ 50.
