[Nook Color Android Development] DeanGibson:
You (or anyone else) are of course free to take the changes I made (just two files in the source zip above) and integrate them. In fact, I would prefer that to maintaining it myself.

I used j3mm4r's code because I knew it contained the necessary support for writing text to the screen, and I didn't know what the other branches contained. I also thought (and still do) that having multiple "u-boot.xyz" files was quite "hackey" and in need of a rewrite to a more user-friendly format.

I do think that the result of any merger of code should result in a CWR install for u-boot that is SEPARATE from a CM7 install.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Yeah the console support is in my source although I slightly reimplimented it to be more in line with mainstream u-boot... and it is used for the menu, the u-boot.whatever files is a somewhat hacky solution but easy to implement in the Nook Tweaks app.. When I get a chance I'll take a look at what you did as far as the config file goes... but I do suggest trying out the u-boot with the nightlies just to see what I've done with it as far as key detection and reporting, etc. Also, the BN 1.2-based u-boot (or later) is required for the .32 kernel.

I'm not sure what you mean by a cwr install that is separate from cm7-- if by cwr you mean koush's Clockwork Recovery, it is in the cm tree and is part of the cm7 distribution. Of course it can be packaged separately...
[Nook Color Android Development] j4mm3r:
fattire! nice work with the new implementation.

DeanGibson... neat idea, nicely done.
[Nook Color Android Development] Barleyman:
Personally I just wrote a conf file that waits 5 sec for keypress and boots to emmc afterwards.

No need to remove or modify sdcard for recovery and normal boot.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Attempting to do with adbwireless, since I do not have root explorer. Like the dual-boot feature. Would like to read music and video stored on the CM7 SDcard partition from B&N rooted MN 1.2.

In windows adb pull it down, then open vold.fstab with notepad++ to change the first "auto" to a "4". Save it. Then use windows adb to push it. You can cut and paste each line from your second group into the cmd window. Be sure to change the file,vold.fstab, with notepad++ (Linux format editor for windows) before you push it. Do not use notepad format it wrong.

line from vold.fstab with first "auto" change to "4":

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 4 auto /devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1

adb pull /etc/vold.fstab

modify and save in notepad++ change first "auto" to "4"

adb remount *** does not work ****

adb push vold.fstab /etc/vold.fstab

adb reboot

Need help with "adb remount". Also tried "adb shell mount -o rw,remount /". What should I use?

Note: change first "auto" only see comments below from file vold.fstab

## part - Partition # (1 based), or 'auto' for first usable partition.

## perm_mask - Mount permission mask: octal integer or 'auto' for default permission.

Edit: Tried combination of File Expert + Jota Text Editor. Even with File Expert set to Root Explorer I could not change the permissions so that Jota Text Editor changes could be saved. Would application Rooter Explorer because emmc is MN rooted stock B&N 1.2 have same problem making changes?
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
"I just wanted to say thanks! After an hour of messing with File Expert, I finally went to Root Explorer and was done in minutes. This worked perfectly. Thanks!"

From another thread. Same for me. Changed etc directory to mount rw. Long press vold.fstab and choose edit in text editor. Changed first auto to 4. Rebooted and now can use my music and video on sdcard directory.

Edit: I guess I could of used this procedure from CM7 boot:

[Nook Color Android Development] skwalas:
question for fattire...

Fattire (or anyone else that can help) I am considering setting up 1.2 stock as my alternate image. However, I can only find the uboot.bin in the stock zip, but not Img file or the corresponding kernel. I also see a LOT of other files in that zip. Would it even be feasible to set up the 1.2 stock as my alternate, or should I just put it on my SD card and use the SD boot option?
[Nook Color Android Development] El Queson:
In boot menu when it starts up on Boot Device should the SD / eMMc options be flashing back and forth and in Boot Mode it does the same thing between normal/alternate/recovery.

Im asking because as of yesterday morning my HOME button stopped working. Now im thinking that the HOME button might somehow be stuck.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
It sounds very much like it's jammed down...
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
The Img file *IS* the corresponding kernel. I guess you meant the ram file and the corresponding kernel.

I'm not sure which "stock zip" you're looking at.. something you found online, or one of the restore .zips that is in /boot? When you buy the nook, the uImage and uRamdisk that are in /boot *are* the stock systems for boot. And while I've never downloaded the 1.2 update, I'm guessing the same files are somewhere contained within. I would think you could rename uImage->uAltImg and uRamdisk->uAltRamdisk to get that boot started.. You'll have the issue of which partitions you want to mount from there, but that's really up to you..
[Nook Color Android Development] mapatton82:
I need some help!! I am trying to set up my nook to default boot in the emmc with the option through the menu to boot into CM7 which i have installed on the SD card.

I have backup up the u-boot.bin file and replaced with the one in this thread. I also added a file called u-boot.device with 1 in the file.

When i boot the device it will default boot in the emmc. whne I boot into the boot menu loading the emmc + normal boots into the emmc, but when I try SD + normal it states that it is booting but does nothing. The SD card has the uImage and uRamdisk files.

Is there something I'm missing or is this not compatible with CM7?
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Not only is it compatible with CM7, but cm7 uses this u-boot (my version of it) in the nightlies. So you don't have to replace anything-- it's there already.

I'm a bit confused-- you're saying you have cm7 on the SD with the normal cm7 nightly u-boot, and you put the u-boot.device file in (incidentally you can just use the Nook Tweaks app to create it for you), and it correctly boots "through" to emmc as you want.. but you are unable to get it to actually boot to SD from the menu?
[Nook Color Android Development] mapatton82:
I ended up getting it working. I was not aware that the CM7 nightlies had this functionality already included until I did some searching. I have if setup to boot into CM7 and I can boot into the emmc by holding the "n" button.

Thanks for your response though!!!!

Sent from my DX Liquid on a no-carb diet!!
[Nook Color Android Development] smarcisin:
i cannot figure out how to dual boot from emmc from this menu. i have read and searched but i must be looking for the wrong thing or something, any helper?
[Nook Color Android Development] rider123:
I had the same issue - I could not get it to boot from the SD card. I also did not know the boot menu was included in CM7. I put the old bin file back in the boot partition and everything works fine now. I also used Nook Tweaks to set the boot default to emmc.

Thanks for the help!
[Nook Color Android Development] cybertimber2007:
Can you offer any advice on how to set up the SD alternate boot?

I am trying to modify the phiremod+honeycomb build so that CM7 is the SD-normal (e.g. replacing phiremod) but it seems once I add the uImage and uRamDisk it throws a wrench into the whole boot menu. (I swear it's the copying... even with cp -rp) Willing to try from the new boot menu you built into CM7 if you can give advice on just how I can do that ^^;;

many thanks in advance.
[Nook Color Android Development] ericcorp:
I'm having a wierd problem with this that when I have the u-boot file on my SD card and power up my nook, nothing happens. As soon as I pull the card out it comes on fine. Any ideas?
[Venue Pro General] tai4de2:
OK, so I see a lot of discussion about putting storage cards into a DVP. I have not seen anyone say definitively which card actually comes with the phones.

I bought an 8GB model last week and the SD card that came in the phone is an 8GB SanDisk class 4.

What specific card comes in the 16GB models? Also a class 4 SanDisk? Anyone actually take one out from a recently purchased new phone (Feb 2011)?
[Venue Pro General] DeekoVB5:
My phone was from December, it had a 16GB SanDisk class 4.
[Venue Pro General] TeamKillerJKFFL:
Mine was dated very late Jan 2011. It had a 16GB Class 4 SanDisk and developed a lockup issue on the 3rd day of use. It was replaced with another from Radio Shack of the same brand and spec and has been rock solid ever since.
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
Mfg date on box: 31 Jan 2011

Card: Sandisk 16g Class 4. Currently no lags or hangs....yet.
[Venue Pro General] tai4de2:
I've been using my class 2 SanDisk 16GB card (from an HD2) without incident so far.
[Venue Pro General] cdgoin:
Not all Class 4 Sandisk SD cards are created equal.. or any class or make even.

I even read a article where I buyer for one of the phone manufacturers was getting bad SD Cards and found they had been screwed.. I am thinking this is the problem with the Dell Venue Pros that lockup are bad batchs of SD cards that were not quality checked.

[Venue Pro General] frazell:
Fascinating read. If this situation is true for Dell then it might explain why their response is taking so long. It doesn't look like an easy problem to pin down.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nick_sixx:
I have searched google far and wide, found a few cases of similar issues but haven't found a solution yet. Got my T-mobile g2 /DZ about 2 months ago, love the hardware and the form factor, but I cannot stand stock froyo. First of all:

Phone build/firmware (?) number is: 1.22.531.8

Release keys: cl277427

I initially tried rooting the phone with visionary r14, which gave me a temp root, then rebooted when I tried perm-root. Ever since then, the program hangs when trying to even temp root (I have tried visionary r11,12,13, and 14, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling countless times [not to mention downloading from different sources]).

After a bit of searching, decided to try rage method - again it didnt work (terminal emulator > /data/local/tmp/rage - permission denied) no matter how many times I tried it.

Tried rage method with gfree (both .02 and .04), which is where I had the most success. I managed to get s-off, but still no superuser access. The problem occurs when I enter the code /data/local/tmp/root

described in this page: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Subsidy_Unlock.2C_SuperCID.2C_and_Radio_S-OFF where it tells you how to 'lock in' the root.

After entering the '/data/local/tmp/root' code, I get an error message that reads something like:

mkdir failed for /system/xbin/, File exists

cp: can't stat `/system/xbin/busybox': Not a directory

Unable to chmod /system/xbin/busybox: Not a directory

/data/local/tmp/root: /system/xbin/busybox: not found

cp: not found

cp: not found

Unable to chmod /system/bin/su: No such file or directory

I have checked, double-checked, and triple-checked that I have pushed busybox etc correctly, and they definitely write to the folder as I am not getting any error messages in CMD.

I would greatly appreciate anyone who can give me a straight answer as to what to look for (somebody said you can't have a file/folder on SD card called 'su' so I have checked that). This is driving me crazy - I bought the G2 thinking froyo would be so much better than Symbian/Motoblur, but I am really disappointed. Even Launcherpro etc are pretty lame compared to some of the custom roms out there.

Please help me!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nick_sixx:
Alternatively, seeing as I have s-off, any way to flash a rom without superuser? Sorry for the noob question
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fajarep:
s-off and gfree ? i don't have g2 version, only desire z. but you can always flash clockwork recovery from adb fastboot. using that, you can switch to other ROM or backup the current one...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nick_sixx:
Can you give me a bit more detail? About to try and flash a pre-rooted modaco rom. Will probably have to wipe the phone so if it doesnt work I will try gfree again on the wiped phone

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagar131981:
I had bought my xperia sometime around Jul'10 & updated it to 2.1 when it was available & then started facing this problem. The battery gets overheated, specially when charging, & when any activity is performed on the phone then, the phone goes into a loop of rebooting, stabilizing only when the battery cools off. Not only that, when on the move, apps like maps is initiated, the phone often reboots, so much so that it sometimes happens 4/5 times in a day, 2/3 times together. Since yesterday, the phone rebooted more than 10 times, twice with a sudden jarring sound while closing down. The CS are saying they will update the software, but that won't solve the problem as my phone shows to be up to date in PC companion. My phone is an unrooted one with the foll specifications:

Firmware: 2.1-update 1

Baseband: 2.0.49

Kernel: 2.6.29

Build: 2.0.2.A.0.24.

Hi!

My name is Johan I live in Sweden and I work as a social media coordinator for Sony Ericsson. I stumbled across this thread and saw that it might need some guidance.

I'm really sorry to hear about this problem, and if your phone has been in for that amount of time at the service location you should contact your local support team to check status and see what you can do.

You guys can find me and my other team mates on our talk site.

Battery overheating as described above and also a problem with video recording in HD.

How do I prove them it is a hardware fault?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmegaRED^:
The restarts you are having.

Show them that at the store, them give them a detailed description of the overheating.

And be persistent i had to send in my device several times.

I could clearly see that they replaced the board due to the new IMEI and the board was a different color.

"i can actually see the difference in the manufacturing process"

I will try and do my best to convince them to replace the motherboard.

The good thing is that I can show them the video problem as well because it is always showing up.

I will keep you posted.

once you check mark it in the settings menu, open a text message and hold your finger down in the area in which you would type the message. when you let go, there will be an "Input method" button that pops up. Select that, then choose the gingerbread keyboard from the list that pops up

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
What do you mean by no voice input?

I ran CM7.1 not long ago, and don't remember any problems with voice inputs. I wouldn't use a ROM if I couldn't use Voice Dialer. I use Voice Dialer, all the time. I also used voice input for Navigation, Search, etc. on occasions. I also used the app vlingo, for a while. Are you talking about some other kind of voice input?

I had to give up on CM for other reasons, though. I currently use Inc-Deck 1.3 gingerbread, which is based on CM7 (and extremely similar) and all my voice functions work fine on it, too.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuffaloChips:
Hmm. Vioce dialer is the only thing that is working then. The first thing I came across was the navigation wouldn't allow voice input. something about it not being present or some such thing.
