[HD7 General] SL55:
Hey there,

I wan't to update my HTC HD7 with the leaked NoDo ROM.

I have a German O2 HD7, so I have to use a Goldcard.

Well the problem after building the cable and patching the microSD card is, that i allways get "not Allowed" after "Entering USB Host..." on the HD7 after a while connected to the cardreader (I use a Toshiba TG01 in massstorage mode as cardreader).

So the question is now, what is the reason for this problem? Bad soldered cables, microSD troubles or ROM problems? Can anyone help me?

Best regards from Austria & Thank you in advance!
[HD7 General] PanNet:
Hi,

1. Check if you correct prepared a goldcard,

2. Cable you can check by your computer. If everything is OK your goldcard should be "seen" by PC/laptop,

3. I personally before install a new software/ROM - press vol down and camera button and connect micro usb cable, the process starts automaticaly. You do not need press power button.

regards
[HD7 General] SL55:
I've solved the problem: it was the goldcard, the CID I read out was not correctly, so my goldcard was not too...

Now i have NoDo on my HD7 - wonderfull! :D :cool:

regards & thx

(posting here because I think that GTAB users would want to know about this)

Don't get me wrong - if we can find a way to port Honeycomb, I'm all for it. If anything else, some of the apps are very nice and would be a worthy update from Froyo.

However, at this particular moment, I'm not all that thrilled with Honeycomb on the Xoom. Mainly due to SPEED. Quadrant and Nenamark scrores are definitely lower than recent mods or even stock 3991 on the GTAB, and more importantly it's actually noticeable in real-world use. Case in point: Launcher Pro. On TNT Lite 5.0.0, it's very fast - but on the Xoom, it's actually choppy. I don't have an overclocked kernel, but I shouldn't HAVE to overclock it to get the same speeds as I have on my GTAB. And Angry Birds Seasons actually slows down at times! I don't I've ever seen that on my GTAB.

My point here is that the Xoom users aren't running a speedy little OS like we thought they would be. I assume that, eventually, Honeycomb will shake out the bugs and the speed will increase, but it's NOT as fast as the GTAB or the Adam. That is actually quite disappointing, given the price point.

The hardware is very nice (ie the screen angles are better, the camera is better, the speakers are better etc.), but the software needs improvement.
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
so, I guess that we should get a Ipad 2 then. =) just kidding. I played around it too for a few days, I could do pretty much everything in tnt lite or vegan 7... I am also not a big fan of the look - looks very cheap and fragile compares to Ipad2. I am leaning more to ASUS transformer and the screen is stunning. I guess that I will sell it in ebay and wait for the transformer which is scheduled to release in April starting $399..

Roebeet: I just wanted to say that "THANK YOU SO MUCH" for all your work and help here. Sorry, I just sold my gtab but I am NOT leaving Android. Just try to find a good match.. it is like looking for a wife.. hahaha.
[G Tablet General] zahir32:
Thanks for the candid and professional assessment. We have perhaps reposed too much faith in Honeycomb without reckoning on its infancy. After all, Android 3.0 is a paradigm shift in the firmware's evolution, and such shifts only come right after a few iterations.

Makes me think that those company's launching new tablets still running Froyo may have a point...let the public get to know new hardware in a familiar milieu until the Honeycomb environment matures.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You are very welcome! I am continually humbled by the user community, here.

I am still waiting for "the next big thing" - the Xoom was practically a gift, which is why I own one. But the ASUS looks very interesting, the Elocity A10 (if they ever release it) or the upcoming stuff from Malata.

I'm guessing that this slowness problem is mainly on Honeycomb / Nividia itself, so any Honeycomb Tegra 2 tablet would be slower than a GTAB/Adam, if it were released today. I'm confident that it will eventually be corrected.

As for the iPad2, anyone else find it interesting that they sold out so fast? That's not like Apple. I'm guessing that they were planning an April release but moved it up due to the Xoom release and now they've run out of the limited stock they had. All these companies play the same games.
[G Tablet General] murkurie:
I used a xoom today at bestbuy for about 20 minutes, in my short time, I found it too be very fluid and it flew, and the verizon signal was very strong, it was loading websites pretty much instantly. I bet if I owned a xoom it may not feel as good, but I can wait, for honeycomb. How is the battery life on your xoom?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I was in the same boat when I demoed it - it felt fast and fluid in the store. But after I had it in my hand and could compare it with my GTAB, my impression changed a bit.

Of course some for of these apps (like Launcher Pro) could just be problematic on Honeycomb. But when I see Nenamark scores that are so drastically different, then I know something's up. And Quadrant, which is not all that reliable keep in mind, is clocking in at ~1900. That around the same score as the original GTAB stock used to be.

As for battery, definitely no complaints. I haven't done any hard scores, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's in the 6 to 8 hour range.
[G Tablet General] machine73:
I am leaning more to ASUS transformer and the screen is stunning. I guess that I will sell it in ebay and wait for the transformer which is scheduled to release in April starting $399..

I can't agree more with on the subject of the ASUS transformer. Even after seeing the leak of Staples selling the WiFi XOOM for 599.00, I'm still holding off for the transformer. Specs looked better and I'm sure ASUS will do their best to release a bug free product. Been a huge fan of ASUS for yrs now so I may be biased...nah. They just sell a good product.
[G Tablet General] Version_3:
I think this is an important thought maybe we should remember. Honeycomb was built new for tablets/Xoom while the rest stay with Froyo or Gingerbread. We've come to expect that each new release brings improvements to our devices, while Honeycomb really is a 1.0 release for tablets.
[G Tablet General] zahir32:
"Honeycomb really is a 1.0 release for tablets..."

Exactly my point, and well put.
[G Tablet General] poymeister:
Roebeet - are there any tools or monitors to show what an Android system is doing? For example, are there threads that are consuming too much CPU or is the I/O system really busy for some reason ... stuff like that.
[G Tablet General] jazzmanmonty:
i'm not sure but did motorola put any overlays on honeycomb like they have with their android phones (cliq w/motoblur)? if there is, maybe that's whats causing it to be a tad slower.
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
Nope, the Xoom is a pure "Google Experience" device which means it is completely vanilla Android, just like Motorola's original Droid was a "Google Experience" phone.
[G Tablet General] freddroid:
Video Chat and/or BT Tether?

Does Zoom have either a working Video Chat app or the ability to use a mobile phone's data service via bluetooth or tether? If yes, can either of these capabilities be copied into a future ROM for gTablet?
[G Tablet General] zahir32:
Not sure this post belongs in this thread but I expect to have a Honeycomb device late next week. I can post my impressions of Android 3.0 on a different tablet, if anyone is interested.

The tab is the Acer Iconia A100. I've been looking for a 7 incher that has some class, and this one looks to be it.

Honeycomb on a 7" capacitive multitouch display (1024 x 600 pixels), Tegra 2, Nvidia GeForce GPU, 5 megapixels camera, 2 Megapixels front-facing camera, 512MB RAM, 8GB internal storage, micro-SD card slot, 1080p, Dolby Mobile sound, Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi N, HDMI port, mini-USB and full-sized USB port.

Very nice form factor in a sleek minimalist design, as shown here:

http://gadgetian.com/8619/acer-iconia-tab-a100-specs-price/

A friend who's visiting Shenzhen, China, saw it (it's already released there) and asked if he should bring me one. For $296? Why ask?!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's got a Tegra 2 - this device could potentially be more helpful with development efforts than a Xoom. That's assuming it actually has Honeycomb - I wonder how they managed that?

I haven't really tested either (I don't have a data plan and I don't plan on getting one). There's no video chat OOTB, tmk.
[G Tablet General] zahir32:
"It's got a Tegra 2 - this device could potentially be more helpful with development efforts than a Xoom. That's assuming it actually has Honeycomb - I wonder how they managed that?"

I wondered about that myself - but apparently it does have Honeycomb out of the box. I look forward to sharing my impressions.

Pricing over in Shenzhen gives you some insight into the mark-ups we suffer in the West. Consider these prices:

LG Optimus Pad 3D Touch Screen Android 3.0 Dual-core tablet PC USD$386

Toshiba 10.1 inch 64GB Android 3.0 Tablet With Nvidia Tegra 2 USD$399

ASUS Eee Slate EP121 4GB RAM 64GB SSD Windows 7 Tablet USD$499

Asus Eee Pad Slider keyboard 3G 10.1 inch 32GB tablets USD$356

Asus Eee Pad Transformer 3G 10.1 inch 1GB RAM 64GB tablet USD$356

Asus Eee Pad MeMO 7 inch 32GB Android 3.0 Tablet 1080p playback USD$266

Asus Eee Pad MeMO 7 inch 64GB Android 3.0 Tablet 1080p playback USD$299

Motorola Xoom 10.1 inch 64GB Android 3.0 Tablet USD$380

Blackberry Playbook 7 inch 64GB SSD Tablet USD$229

HTC Flyer 7 inch 1.5GHz Android 3.0 WIFI 3G Tablet Smartphone USD$309

Maybe XDA should charter a group flight to China?
[G Tablet General] Ronin916:
Wondering.....

I heard that Moto released an update to the Xoom, and it bumped the Quadrant scores up nearly 30%. I was wondering if the update tightened things up a bit like VS did with the GTab.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Weight	470 grams

battery runtime's gonna be short...

Elocity A10 looked nice UNTIL nvidia announce Tegra3 kal-el quad core w/NEON, and improved GPU... gtab will get me by until a realistically priced Tegra3 tablet shows up... (which rules out motorola, samsung, and asus(I'm surprised with these guys as their prices are usually great on notebooks for the specs)...)
[G Tablet General] zahir32:
"Weight 470 grams

battery runtime's gonna be short..."

A sharp observation. Much depends on whether this thing will come to me with the 3G module in or not. (That's not clear to me). If it's running network data, I'll have to disable that service to conserve juice - as people have done with their Sprint Galaxy Tabs. We'll see!

Don't blame you for waiting out the first wave of tech in 2011. I myself will retain my Elocity A10 pre-order up to the end of March. If it doesn't arrive by then, I'm cancelling and will turn to either the LG Optimus Pad or the Asus Slider.
[G Tablet General] lordgodgeneral:
I was given a xoom to use for testing at work a couple of weeks ago, and been hammering at it pretty hard.

There's only one thing about the xoom that I love and get jealous about, its not the screen, or even Honeycomb, its the 10 point multi touch.

Doing anything that uses more then one input seems to work so much smother. If there was someway to upgrade that on my tab running Vegan Ginger, I think I'd be in heaven.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
roebeet - have you tried Smartbench which is built for dual-core devices? Quadrant still doesn't support it.

Hi

Just rooted my o2x with 2.2.2 stock ROM with z4root ver. 1.3 and thought I would share.

worked like a charm and went straight through. Super user installed, and apps that need root ask for access and is granted.

/Lars
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
nice from you sharing, but please, try to use existing threads in the future. That would keep this forum a lot cleaner, and information more focused
[LG Optimus 2x] heroddaji:
Strange, i try z4root, go smoothly, but after that, i try other root app and it doesn work

Do i need to do something after z4root finish?
[LG Optimus 2x] MuggsDK:
Use Superoneclick. There's a thread with a guide in the forum :)
[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
Sorry :( thought I had read every post in here, and wanted to add info...

Couldn't get the super one click to work, and wanted to share the possibility with z4root

(Just delete thread, admin)
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
No problem mate ;) Existing threads are easily missed. androidforums has a nice feature for this (shows existing threads based on your entry in the title field) maybe somewhere in the future this could be implemented here to.
[LG Optimus 2x] sebkn:
Will the roots work on 2.2.2? The O2X comes with 2.2.2 in Norway at least.
[LG Optimus 2x] domi007:
Look at the SuperOneClick thread.
[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
I use Cache Cleaner NG, which... yeah... cleans the cache, once or twice a day (you decide). This keeps up the performance of your phone.

Besides that, you can remove unwanted stock apps, that takes up space and memory.

Also, you can overclock, but I don't approve of that.

You can install "Adfree" from market, and remove commercials from apps on your phone.

Titanium backup, backs up apps + data, if you decide to install a custom ROM, and want to restore you savegames e.g. afterwards

Finally, you can change the theme (custom battery mod and so on and so on)

Basically, a lot of cool stuff, and the list is much longer, but now I hope you've got an idea ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
Z4root 1.3 worked for me with 2.2.2 stock ROM...
[LG Optimus 2x] sebkn:
Thank you so much :D

it reminds me a bit of jailbreaking which I've done since iOS 1.

Now i really think that iOS sucks compared to Android.

Nazi Apple haven't really changed "anything" since iOS 1, compared to how Android has developed.

I'm looking forward to getting the LG O2X!!! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] freddy1992:
Did it work for you?
[LG Optimus 2x] domi007:
Use SuperOneClick instead, it has been verified by many users, so it worths a try I think :)
[LG Optimus 2x] maedox:
SuperOneClick 1.7 works great on WinXP.
[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
Super1click didnt work for me. It said rooting completed, and super user was installed, but super user didnt grant root apps access.

Z4root worked straight away
[LG Optimus 2x] gensplejs:
Super one click oftene only works after a reboot.

Ill bet you that z4root did not do anything and it was s1c that started to work after reboot.

Z4root has been verefied many many times as not working on the production version of the o2x.
[LG Optimus 2x] maedox:
True, z4 did not work on mine. It just hangs/exits.
[Nook Color General] akizub:
I want to root my Nook 1.1.0 but it looks like it doesn't boot from SD card.

I tried couple SDs (2Gb and 4Gb) and burn them with couple images for Autonooter 3 (and 2 too as act of desperation).

I can see files on the SDs in Windows and in Nook.

I power off Nook completely with SD inside and plug it into the PC usb.

It supposed to run some script... I waited an hour and nothing happen.

Then Nook boots in regular Nook mode.

I assume that it's something with my SDs.

4Gb is class 4 SD. I burned it with different burner programs - result is the same.

Is there some way to determine that Nook boots from SD?

Maybe MBR is erased or something like this?

I formatted card in Windows and never did it in Nook.

So, I hope MBR (is it even used?) is OK but I want to be sure somehow.

Any suggestions?
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
What software are you using to burn the image onto the sd card?

You should be using winimage running in administrator mode.
[Nook Color General] therealguppy:
Um you say the nook didn't do anything and then booted normally..... that sounds like it did everything right. Autonooter dose not show anything on the screen when you boot from it. you will get a blank screen for a bit and then it will boot to normal..... Have you checked to see if your nook is rooted?
[Nook Color General] akizub:
I used winimage. I can see files in Windows and Nook.

Funny thing is that *.img file is so big but real files on SD are small.

I assume it's empty space what is in img file.
[Nook Color General] akizub:
I assume it should show some Android stuff. Correct?

What I see is regular Nook screens.
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
therealguppy has a point. You may be rooted and not know it yet. Go into the apps drawer and look for the super user app. If it's there, you're rooted. Autonooter doesn't change your launcher or anything else so obvious.
[Nook Color General] akizub:
You mean EXTRAS?

There is nothing new here. 8 apps from Chess to Sudoku.

No super user app.
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
hmmmm... that is strange. As unlikely as you may think it would be, you must have goofed up a step. The nook color is, by way of hardware, hard-coded to boot to the Micro SD-card if a bootable partition exists.

It's crazy unlikely that your nook is somehow flawed and cannot boot to a sd-card.

I would first try and download and burn one of the SD-card bootable roms just to make sure that you are able to boot off of it.

Try this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=989637

OR

Burn a bootable Clockworkmod SD-card to also test that you're able to boot.

go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922870

and get one of the "Download a bootable Clockwork SD card (128mb, 1gb, 2gb, 4gb, 8gb) here:"

If you want another set of step-by-step instructions, I have the time to write one up.
[Nook Color General] jackusage:
hi, im having the same problem as akizub and i think it may be booting from the sd card. ive tried rooting from all the different firmwares, ive tried different images, winimage, win32diskimage, ubuntu dd, ive even tried buying a new micro sd. i cant figure out whats wrong. ive seen all the youtube videos and instructions
[Nook Color General] phil94028:
Same Problem here with 1.1/auto-nooter 3.0.0

I'm having the same problem.

Don't think it's an issue with the SD card as I can see the SD files from the Nook after it boots

Wrote the SD using Win32diskimager. This must be working as I can see the files on the SD on both the Nook and the PC. Don't see how a block copy can miss anything!

I'm using auto-nooter 3.0.0

The Nook nook boot looks identical with or without the SD.

Maybe another level of security by BN ?
[Nook Color General] deadbot1:
Just a crazy thought....are you making sure to have the correct versions?

Autonooter 3 NEEDS to be run on stock 1.1.... not 1.0.1 or 1.0.0.

Just thinking that would explain things.

Sent from my rooted stock 1.1 Nook with XDA Premium.

When all else fails, RTFM.
[Nook Color General] phil94028:
Versions OK

Yep .. Nook is at 1.1.0. autonooter 3.0.0

SD card is a 4GB SanDisk which other people seem to have used.

I'm assuming there is a low level loader in the Nook that attempts to load a boot block in a certain device order. Is it possible they changed that?
[Nook Color General] yujikaido79:
Yeah I am running into the same problem, I returned my nook for a few defects and now my new one won't boot from the sd card. Its running 1.1.0... one thing I have noticed that is different is that it seems to boot up faster than my old one did...

Edit:

Its working now, it wasn't partitioning the sd card for boot, was using my phone as card reader, switch to an actual card reader and new sd card and it worked.
[Nook Color General] akizub:
Problem was solved.

It was fact that my SD was not bootable.

I tried something simple and reliable like CW recovery. Win32diskimager didn't want to burn disk complaining that it was too small. I tried to burn 1Gb to 2Gb, 4Gb and 16 Gb SDs and it was telling me - not enough disk space.

Then I used winiamge and was fine.

After I saw that CW was booting fine I burned autonooker again and then it started to work.

So, make sure that your SD is bootable by doing some simple and reliable image burning.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mindspin_311:
If I understand correctly, it will do the following:

1. Root the phone

2. Install Amon_RA recovery program

3. Flash the "Sprint Lovers" ROM

So I have 2 questions.

1. Is there a way to stop it from flashing the Sprint Lovers ROM?

2. If not, will I be losing all my Apps, etc?

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Yes you are correct. That is what happens if you let autoroot run through.

I'm not sure what will happen to your phone if you don't flash a ROM after rooting takes place but I'm sure it won't be good. Probably get stuck in a boot loop. If you are thinking about rooting, your apps are gone more or less.

If you are concerned about which ROM is flashed, you can choose another ROM to flash after the root process is completed. It will prompt you. Just make sure you downloaded it prior and have it on your SD card prior to rooting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Never used autoroot, but let it flash the sprint lovers rom; its just a default. You can flash another rom after it finishes, also you shouldn't lose any apps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mindspin_311:
No losing apps? Are you sure? What about all of the other settings, email, contacts. Things of that nature?
