no luck with the second go round either. could it be because I have bootloader version 91.07?

Sure - the first attempt just now failed. I skipped the initial instructions, in that I omitted the 'fastboot oem lock' steps, and went right to your second step from post #26. Let it boot to setup, then exited back to fastboot, and did boot.img/oem.img/chunks/oem lock. Still got the...

Any chance you could be so kind as to rehost the zip somewhere like androidfilehost? I have to return my Z tomorrow (bluetooth is and was always totally broken) and I'd like to return it stock/locked if possible to avoid getting charged unfairly. Appreciate all the work you've done *** edit -...

give this a try? My wife's N7 (I keep it within a week or two of CM nightlies) wouldn't charge at all - It would work, most of the time, if plugged in, but batt would never rise above zero, even if android was not booted up, screen was off, overnight, airplane mode, anything. Flashed...

Actually have a sparkfun 5v step up breakout, left over from the n7 internal storage effort, but that wouldn't handle the battery operation. The board you link to looks like it's another form of step-up to me, in that it seems to just use a couple AA batteries to work as an external charger...

Bought a cracked screen N7 to mess around with adding internal storage so as not to bork up mine or my wife's. When the parts N7 turned out to be 16gb I just swapped mainboards into mine and called it a day - 8gb was too little storage, but 16 is enough. So I have this spare n7 battery now...

You know it's cool when a guy who registered in 2005 declares it w/ his 4th post in 7 years

Ooh, anyone know a reason it would not work? Grabbing one as well. Can find a use for it somewhere.. Oh, true.

as what, HTPC's? Most of the cracked ones still turn on/charge and everything else, but touch goes away. It's enough for testing things. One would still be able to see a USB device mount w/out needing to touch. Doubt HDMI can be output, LCD controllers are friggin hard things. For years...

Not that I know of, no. I don't expect to find any for a decent price anytime soon either. From what I've seen, only the iphones have enough single model volume to make third party Chinese replacement screens affordable. That's one thing I liked about iphone, when I cracked my screen, for $30...

I bought some from mouser as well. Also bought a nex 7 w/ a broken screen from fleabay to mess with. This will get done. As mentioned, yes we'd still need a microsd to usb method, but I plan on just using one of the duracell usb reader types, stripped. Don't think room will be an issue.

Hrm. Look at /ProductDetail/ALPS/SCHA5B0200/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMuGq%2fv7cZsUqwqDtAl3tPtl prepend mouser dot com to this, XDA deems me too newb to linky. ,and the associated datasheet. If I'm reading this right, it's the push/push click type, but crucially, it already integrates a switch...

*edit - pic shows up now, sorry very cool marakji. Personally I may use the extra space inside the nex to install an inductive charger/touchstone, since extra storage is something mostly useful when travelling. carrying the little microusb drive to store/playback that media is easy enough...

Hey guise. Not that this is an internal mod, but it's kinda close. I took a sandisk cruzer fit, disassembled, removed the flash chip/pcb, and soldered a male microsub onto it, along with the OTG mod. The small size makes it light, less likely to snag/snap, and ultra portable. Would fit...

Well in this case I am extremely happy to be incorrect then. I've got a CM9 hp touchpad and a rooted ics razr maxx that i use otg with, but they only work with powered hubs. While on the what works topic- mhl hdmi adapter?
