[General Questions and Answers] big3d:
I have been trying to send pictures to my girlfriends cell phone, she has a Samsung Solstice II, I have been trying every which way, shrinking the picture, changing the format, changing the MMS settings and everything... still nothing. I have an HD2 running MDJ Gingerbread Rom (NAND), Could it possibly be my phone, cause she can receive pics from other people but not me. I have tried a few different MMS settings but I cant find out why its not working, I have sent pics to friends phones before without problems.

Also something worth mentioning, I might need to patch this ROM, None of my 3D is working when I run Quadrant it bypasses the 3D and also when I try to run a game with 3D it crashes. Could this be part of the problem?

Thank you in advance for your help

Hello again fellow nookie lovers....

DISCLAIMER: If you do not know what the following information does, means, or could result in if not performed correctly, please stop now and go no further. I hold no liability for how you use the following information or if you brick, bork or f&*k up your device.

Now with that, let's continue.....

I decided to post up a modified .IMG file I was able to throw together after getting my hands on a honeycomb preview. The original IMG was provided to me by a good friend (Thanks J and Thanks to the creator of the IMG) and then honeycomb come shortly after.

Using WinImage or a similar program to burn the IMG to a SD card, 1G or larger, will give you a bootable SD allowing you to boot directly into clockwork recovery and install the following:

B&N Original Firmware 1.0.1

Nookie Froyo

Nookie Honeycomb (SN:Overclocks to 1100 default)

Google Apps

Before installing any of the 2 Android systems, remember to visit "Mounts and Storage" and format the Data, System, and Boot partitions. Save Boot for last as it will lock up the nook and require a restart of the device. Once these areas are formatted, continue to install your preferred system of choice. Once that is completed, be sure to install the Google Apps zip to give you the market.

As of this time, the IMG file is approx 978 MB. As I modify I am sure it will grow to require a 2 GB SD.

For my next project, I will be including an image with some of the most important apps a Droid user needs, ie:

ADBWireless

Applanet

BetterTerm

SetCPU

etc

If there are any good apps that I might overlook, hit me up here and let me know.

[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
could you provide some more detail as to why your method of installing these images is better then what we have now?

thanks :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Midnitte:
How does this require only a 1gb sdcard when HC itself requires almost 4? or am I misunderstanding?

sent from nookcolor
[Nook Color Android Development] forsakenexile:
I am not saying that my post is better than anyone else's. I am simply adding something in attempt to give more options to a resource that has already proven useful to me, as well I am sure to others.
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
Because you use it to flash the emmc zip which isnt very large. The 4gb image is the sdcard version. But this is no different then the flashable CWR.
[Nook Color Android Development] forsakenexile:
The HC file is not the Full release. But thus far, other than bluetooth, the3.5 3rd pole and FM radio, everything else works fine for a pre-release. There are a few graffix glitches such as the scaling on the home screens, flickering in the market....

Other than that, HC looks amazing on the NC,
[Nook Color Android Development] cosine83:
Flashing ROMs with flashable zips in CWM > anything else. Pretty much the safest, easiest method and I wish more people would post up those kinds of ROMs.
[Nexus S General] antz88c:
I am from the Philippines and we only have access to free apps. My Nexus S came with a T-Mobile SIM (bought from Best Buy last Dec 2010) and thought of using it just to check. Of course I didn't get any signal but got full access to android market. I was able to purchase app, via my Nexus S and from the web Android Market.

Putting back my local SIM will give me the 'Not Found: The requested item could not be found" when i tap the purchased item, but clearing data by going to Market will make the app reappear.

For some screen grabs, check my posterous page.
[Nexus S General] terra_droid:
So that SIM is useful for something after all. Thanks for the info.
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
Thanks for the info.

I used the Market Enabler app. Phone must be rooted but it does what it is supposed to.

Just remember to switch back to you country after using Market Enabler :)
[Nexus S General] k.o:
That's what I did to gain access to paid apps, and some free ones like Skype which aren't in the Pakistani android market.

The annoying thing is that to update some of the paid apps I need to put back the US sim card, while others update without needing the US sim once installed.
[Nexus S General] raeef:
Yeah, I have been using T mobile SIM to get full access since day one :D. I live in Jordan.
[Nexus S General] derekgabs:
we really do hope.. someone can update our market place that we can buy any paid apps without changing sims.. since its really frustrating..

what i mean is that i hope someone can have an enabler that doesn't need root..
[Galaxy Tab General] starbuck123:
I'm having the following problems with my TAB and would like to know it's fixable. I treid almost everything to fix it without success. I'm hoping someone can help me. Anyone have these problems before?

1. Doesn't charge normally. It would charge but charge really slow like it's connected via us. It shows an x next to the lightening icon when I charge it using the original charger and cable.

2. I cannot go into recovery mode. I get the black screen with the white line. There's also no boot animation when it boots up.

3. The camera doesn't work. I get a fail message when I open it.

4. My computer doesn't detect it in download mode, kies or mass storage. My computer detect my samsung galaxy s i9000 without any problems so I know it's not the computer. I cannot change the firmware because my computer doesnt detect it.

5. I dont have the receipt to do a warranty repair. What are my other option?

AT&T SGH-i987

Firmware 2.2

Baseband P1000XXJHA

Kernel 2.6.32.9 Koush@koushilk-osx86 #19

Build XXJMA

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] radmin69:
Did you register your Tab with Samsung?

If so, they have a record of your purchase and will be able to provide support.

If not, then try this which I got from their online chat: Hope it helps.

"Kyle: To recover the device via the hardware keys, do the following:

Kyle: 1. Power off the handset.

Kyle: 2. Hold the Vol Down Key + Vol Up Key + Power Key for 15 seconds then release.

Kyle: 3.When the recovery screen comes up, use the volume up key and volume down key to navigate through the selections and the power key to select item.

Kyle: 4. Select Delete all user data to recover the device. To confirm, scroll down and select Yes – delete all user data. The phone reboots and again displays the recovery screen.

Kyle: 5. Select Reboot system to restart the handset again. "
[Galaxy Tab General] starbuck123:
Thanks but I cannot get to that recovery screen like I said above. All I get is a black screen with a white line when I try to go into recovery mode. I also purchase this used with no receipt.
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
U just need to flash a working rom. Try roto jm... in the dev forum

Your tab was modified. I wont blame Samsung if they wont fix it for u
[Galaxy Tab General] starbuck123:
How do i flash to a different rom if a computer wont detect it?
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
Do you have the latest kies installed? Is USB Debug on? If it still doesn't detect, have you tried android-sdk or heimdall. Each comes with usb driver. I find it hard to believe your PC doesn't detect the tab. I never heard such thing before unless you're the real first victim then...yeah, try to call Samsung and pay a fee.
[Galaxy Tab General] starbuck123:
Yes, I tried to use android-sdk and heimdall but they don't detect my TAB for me to do anything. I also installed the newest KIES software. I also don't understand why it doesn't detect it in download mode. This is the first time I encounter this problem. I flashed my Galaxy S I9000 phones many times without a problem. Is the combination of the firmware and kernal I have that is causing my computer not to detect the TAB?

Is there a way to root my TAB via an APK? I tried Z4Root but it's not working. It tries to acquirer shell and closes after a few vibrate. yes, debugging mode is on.
[Galaxy Tab General] Benjamin Dobell:
You've followed Heimdall's README and installed the included driver? Make sure you follow the instructions exactly.

If you have done that and your device still isn't recognised consider trying a another cable, USB port or entirely different PC.
[Galaxy Tab General] starbuck123:
Thanks for your advice but I already tried above. I didn't have any problems/trouble connecting my Verizon Tab and Galaxy S phone to the computers to change the roms. There is most likely something wrong with the Tab. I gave up and contacted Samsung yesterday. I sent the Tab to them yesterday and hopefully they won't charge me to fix it.

After you root the Nook Color, how do you set or change the root password? Is it similar to how it is done in linux with the passwd command? What is the default root login and password?

thanks
[Nook Color General] tunwear:
I think you're confused on what rooting is. There is no root password.
[Nook Color General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Actually, there is on Linux but I believe android lacks the feature. Just type su in terminal to get root access if you are rooted.
[Nook Color General] pceasar:
This sounds like something you had to do after jailbreaking an iDevice maybe you're mixing them up
[Nook Color General] gedster314:
I think he's comming from the apple world where you have to change the ssh password from alpine to something else.

There is no password to change because there is no ssh or telnet service running in the background. Hense no one can access the device remotely. If you install a remote access server and run it as a service (deamon, running all the time) then yes you need a password for that service. Most of these services in android are apps and only run when you turn them on. The one I use asks you to create a password before it even runs. Wireless adb doesn't ask for a password but then you are only using it for a short time and I seriously doubt hackers would be scanning for open adb ports since it is such a small number of devices using it.
[Nook Color General] MikiBroki:
But...

Hello, I have a question about this: what about other apps can access system files by accessing with root priveleges to install software that collect our information ?

Thanks
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Only if you click 'allow' for that app.
[Nook Color General] tweakradje:
I am looking for a SU binary that has password protection. Does it exist? Can someone compile that into the SU binary?

Just a simple text file like /data/system/passwd ?

If not set it will not ask (like now)

I you want to set it use /system/xbin/su --setpwd ***** where ***** is the password stored in /data/system/passwd (rw-rw---- root.root)

Only factory reset will clear it.

Then if password is set then /system/xbin/su will ask for a password in the shell.

Just my 2 cents.

Thx.
[Nook Color General] steven676:
I personally have one, actually, but I'm not about to publish it (I'm not confident enough in my setuid-program-writing skills to promise anyone else security, and the code I have actually requires compiling the password hash into the binary). That said, you don't actually want my personal su, because it breaks pretty much every root-using Android app out there by prompting for a password via standard input.

It's certainly possible to do this "correctly" -- you'd need to move the password prompt into the Android UI (the Superuser app or equivalent). That would further complicate code that's already far too busy for comfort, though (seriously, who links SQLite into a setuid root binary??!?).
[Nook Color General] tweakradje:
Thanks for your feedback. Nice to know there is a need for this. I only want security when adb is on.
[Nook Color General] tweakradje:
You can detect if su request is from the shell? Then only ask for password if request is from the shell.

Else SuperUser.apk is not compatible? Or devs like Chainfire needs to change that too.

Cheers
[Nook Color General] leathan:
I just installed cm10.1 and saw their is built in ssh.... I configured it without authentication and allowed root login and its asking me for my android root password -.-

Using any ssh of the market works. But this thing comes with ssh.. Whats the password its asking for lol
[Nook Color General] Mineturtle33:
Type "su" and then after it asks for root type "passwd" in terminal emulator without the quotes. It will ask you to enter a new password as one has not yet been set up.
[Nook Color General] iSkateTrash420:
Changing root passwd android 2.3.3

I beg to differ there is a way to do it however i found this on someone elese thread and figured id share.....i got as far as making a new user however i still can but cant change the root passwd.

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

now type:

cd /system/bin

ls

Do you see su or your username listed?

If so type:

chmod 4755 (type su or your username here, without parantheses)

now open terminal emulator on your phone and try your superuser command again.

If you did not see su or your username in the output of ls type the following to get a setuid shell:

cat sh > (username or su whichever you want)

chmod 4755 (username or su whichever you want)

now open terminal emulator on your phone and try your superuser command again.

That should get you going.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby1986:
Definately worth looking in to.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
I'm with you. The reason I sold my mt3g and picked up the mt4g was mainly for the extra ram. The G2 has plenty, I don't really see the need.

If I recall correctly the extra ram came at the expense of graphics and 3d. Hardly a worthwhile trade off for a device that already has plenty of ram.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Powers88:
Ya they had that ram hack and they had the one that was with the new radio which just allowed for 14 more megs to be freed without losing anything
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
The new radio is different than the old ram hack.

If I'm wrong about this, someone please correct me.

The ram hack "stole" memory from gpu. (graphics)

The new radio/spl mapped memory that was previously unavailable in its entirety and gave us access to it.

Does that make more sense? The first is a hack/mod done by the devs here and the second is an upgrade from HTC/T-mobile.

Your right, I already knew what it was I just didnt explain it

I am planning to remove ATT junk from my Captivate phone. I have rooted it already. But I want to create a full backup before I start major surgery work on it because I am still testing the phone and within 30days period.

If I find it not a good experience, I may want to return it. And all I want to do at the time is restore from this backup, unroot and return.

Is there a way to achieve this easily on Captivate? Coming from G1, which was easy to hack into. In fact I even wrote a script for it at some point of time.

Also, there are tonnes of ROMs on this forum. Which one is considered the most stable 2.2 ROM?
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Rom manager

Flash clockwork

Backup

Your good to go
[Captivate General] devsk:
That would mean that I need to undo more stuff (remove recovery and rom manager) if I want to return. I heard something about a temporary recovery from Koush which goes away with a reboot. Does that have a backup built into it? Or are u talking about the same thing?

[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Update.zip that gives you clockwork recovery. Do not need to be rooted to use this. Can backup and flash roms
[Captivate General] matmanchu5:
Everything always sems so easy when your already know what you're talking about. But to Idiots and newbies its all strange phrases with no links attached and unknown abbreviations tha only frustrate I wish people would just explaiin just wtf it is they are talking about.

That link for clock work recovery does work and when you press the backup button in Rom manager, The phone will reboot in to recovery mode where you will then select the option to reinstall packages. Then you will be taken to a menu in which you can select to "back up and Restore" your current "Rom"(Stock, unrooted, rooted whatver), just select it and wait a few minutes and then you are backed up!

THen just select reboot.

[Captivate General] matmanchu5:
Also Rom Manager in the market is great if you are rooted, Makes getting clockwork easy and flashing a breeze Great program, but if you are flashing kernels beware you must backup your kernel separately from your rom because Rom Manager doesn't recognize .zip files by certain kernel flashers SGS kernel Im Prety sure of that I'll hope someone corrects me on that or edit When i find out.

[Captivate General] ntothes:
If you've rooted and flashed on a G1 then you should be good. It's not that hard.
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Rom manager is a good tool for people getting started, all it is though is a user interface for clockwork recovery. Once you learn how to use clockwork rom manager is relatively useless. Especially when on roms with custom recovery.

You are correct rom manager does not backup kernel or modem. You can not restore a backup of stock over a custom rom without flashing stock kernel and modem
