My wife's phone is stuck on the AT&T screen when booting. I am able to get into download mode, but am unsure of what to do next. I've downloaded the PC Suite and Mobile Support Tool (which seems to be more recent) from LG but in both cases when I do the update recovery I can't get it to work...

So a little background first. Over the past couple of weeks I've been having an issue where my phone just all of a sudden tells me that my sim is not recognized. Usually a power down and back up fixes it, but it's been getting worse and worse. I tried getting a new sim card but that didn't...

I didn't think until last night to check the waranty, I was thinking it was 90 days but it turns out I'm still covered. I got my RMA and need to send it in. Did you have all your data still on it when you got it back? I'm trying to figure out how to do a backup and get the data off of it just...

All of a sudden my Prime won't charge unless the plug is held in a very specific way. I think I must have a charging port issue (I've tried to cables). Is this something that is repairable, and would it have to go back to Asus to get done? I'm also curious if anyone might know what an...

Ok, cool. That's one of the options I had considered but didn't know if that would be the most efficient. Of course I'd also have to have a list of all the "Widget ID's" stored in a preference to loop through as well. I assume the maximum amount of data that can be stored in one prefrence is...

SharedPrefrences is what I used for my basic version, but my understanding is that it allows for name-value pairs right? That works well when you have a predetermined set of prefrences, but what if it's more fluid? Say I want to allow the user to configure his widgits, and each widget has a...

Hello everyone, I'm new to Android development. I've written my first little "get my feet wet" ap and am looking to expand on it. One thing I would like to do it give the user more options of things they can configure and I'm wondering about the best way to store that information. At what...

Not quite. What I want to do is run my applicatio in Eclipse, and have it exectue on my phone rather than on the emulator on my PC.

I'm getting into Android development and am having a problem testing what I'm working on on my Captivate. My understanding is that if my phone is attached in debug mode and I run, it should go do my phone but it always goes to the emulator. I've done some reading about an adb driver, so I'm...

I've tried it several different ways, including holding the n button down until it has completely booted up. I did find some instructions for using the clockwork mod recovery to flash the original files and am in the process of working through that.

Ok, it's been a while since I've had a chance to look at this (and since the pad works with my CM7 boot card it's not been a priority). I have this to restore to stock: http://nookcolorrooting.com/RestoretoStock.aspx, but when I get to the 2nd step booting with the n key held in doesn't seem...

I have a rooted, but otherwise stock nook that I was having trouble installing apps from the amazon appstore on. I was trying to find some settings to fix this when all of a sudden it said something about an "authorization error" and reset. When it came back up, it was resetting data and I had...

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "NM 1.3". Do you mean ManualNooter working on nook 1.3 software? I never got that working, and now my nook is at 1.4, so I think I'll just proceed with trying to get the root on 1.4.

So that's the only file needed, not two like with 1.3? All I would do then is put that on my bootable sd card, boot up to it, execute that zip, and then boot the nook without a the card?

I tried to catch up over on the Development board, but I'm totally lost (coming here at all ususally makes me feel like the dropout delivering a pizza to a MENSA mixer). What is the status on rooting version 1.4.1? I'd like to update my software and get it rooted as opposed to booting off the...

And one more question. Is there a way to boot to the nook without removing the card? I thought I'd read where there's a boot menu of some kind.

Not sure exactly, other than I thought it was the most recent. The nook is as home so I can't check right now. I'm not seeing that message, but I'll look more closely. I did see your post on that subject, but am kind of thinking that the aps he'll want right now may not require that. I'll...

Hello all, I've got an SD card I'm booting CM7 off of. I've got the Market installed, and linked to my Google account. I'm not finding, though, most of the aps that I have on my phone. Did I miss something in my setup so that I'm not seeing all my aps?

It appears this was my problem. I was using "write disk" rather than the restore option. I now appear to have CM7 on the card (althought it's been on the bootup screen for a while, and I now need to get the gapps installed.

Looks like my image, after I expanded it with WirRar, is more like 117MB (123,379,200 bytes). Do I need to bring down the image and expand it again?

Will try that, but would it skip the boot from the SD card all together because of that?

Do I need to expand the image out first with winrar, or will the Win32DiskImager handle that?

As I think back through the process, the only thing I was a bit confused on was the generic image. After downloading it, I expanded it out using winrar before writting it to the SD card with winimage. Was that the right thing to do?

I'm trying to create a bootable SD card with CM7. I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957. I've put the CM7 file on the card, but when I put in in my nook and boot it just goes to the nook software. Can anyone help me with what I did wrong...

I think I saw that. I'll take a closer look, but to be honest right now I think my son will be be more likely to use the the straight Android boot to have access to the games he's always playing on my phone. I'm hoping that will change, but as this point I'm thinking I'm better off waiting...

Can I revert to 1.2 if my nook came with 1.3 on it OOTB?

That's my long term goal. but is the root on 1.4 working yet? I tried to do the MN root (but may have missed a step) on 1.3 and got into a boot cycle. I was thinking I'd just let it upgrade then once all the 1.4 stuff was figured out do a root then

Ok, cool. So it sounds like my plan for now is to get 1.4 then boot off of an SD card. When and if we can root it successfully, I'll make that jump. I asked this in another thread, but I'll do so hear as well. What happens to apps I download while booted from the card? Are they installed on...

That's prettyf much exacty what I've settled on. I think for now, he'd mostly want the tablet, but I DO really like the read to me feature. I'll just have to teach him how to boot back and forth if he wants (he's pretty sharp for a mildly autistic 7 year old when it comes to tech). When and...

I tried to load stock back, but it seems that ANYTHING I tried to do (including the root) resulted in a boot loop on the "nook color" screen. It seemed that nothing I tried to do did anything but make it loop until I found the faild boot trick. I was even getting an error just trying to wipe...

Ok, I guess it's time to display my ignorance. First of all I think I AM at pristine stock, but what do I know? The nook came with 1.3 on it (just got it last week), and after my isues trying to root it the only way I was able to get it back working after beein stuck in the boot loop was with...

Ok, the more reading I do the more confused I get. I have a nook 1.3 that I bought for my son. The reason I chose the nook was because I could put the market on it and give him the games he's always playing on my phone. I'd LIKE to keep the stock reader as well because he's only 7 and I like...

I have a brand new nook that is running 1.3, and I want to get it rooted (it's a Christmas gift for my son). With 1.4 out now, I'm wondering what my best approach is. Should I wait until I get the 1.4 update and then to the root? If that is the case, is there a way to force the update to come...

I was having the same problem. The "8 failed boots" method here got me back to stock. I'm feeling MUCH better now!! http://nookdevs.com/NookColor/RestoreToStock

I'm going to show my ignorance here and say I'm not sure. I don't THINK so, since all I intended to do was root, I just followed the instructions to give me the recovery card. Unless maybe it's on there and I'm not don't realize it. All that said, I think I'm back off the ledge now. I found...

Sorry if this is a long post...I'm going to try to provide as much information as possible. I got a brand new nook with version1.3 for my son for Christmas. I'm wanting to root it so I can put some games and stuff on it. I tried following the instructions for the ManualNooter (using...

Ok, so I booted with the SD card again and re-ran 4-5-18, then removed the SD card and booted again but I'm getting the same thing. Do I need to do something to get it back to the original state?

Hello all, I hope this isn't something that should be obvious...I tried to so some searching, but guess I wasn't finding the right thing to search on. I'm trying to root a Nook Color that came with version 1.3. I followed the instructions here...

Looks like that did it for me. Hit root again, the enable, and it seemed to have done the trick. Thanks!!

Sorry, I never got an e-mail that I got a reply. Yes, I've tried to download the new Amazon market but get an error message that I can't install non-market aps.

I have used SuperOneClick to root my phone, and am now trying to use it to enable non-market aps. When I do, I get the following message: Checking value... (requires root) Non-market applications are disabled. Allow non-market apps... (requires root) OK Checking value... (requires root)...

Yes, I used Super One Click to root, and that's what I'm attempting to use to allow non-market aps. I tried rebooting but that did not help.

I have used One Click to root my otherwise stock Samsung Captivate (Galaxy-S), which worked like a champ. When I go to enable non-mark aps, however, I get the following: Checking value... (requires root) Non-market applications are disabled. Allow non-market apps... (requires root) OK...

Well, I was eventually able to get it. I guess I forgot I was supposed to release it when the flash screen came on. The end result....the update DID unroot my phone, so I am now free to call and get a warranty replacement for the USB issue (after all this, I sure hope I get one!!). Thanks...

Well, success of a sorts. I was able to get the recovery file applied and I think it worked....the first update.zip I tried gave me an "invalid file" error of some kind rather than the signature validation. Think is, all of a sudden I'm having the dangdest time getting it to go into recovery...

Okay, I got home from work and had a chance to take a look at this a little more closely. I have two questions: 1. You say I have "some reading to do" on this method. It seems pretty straightfoward to me. I want to make sure I'm not missing something. Basically I just download the file...

At this point I'm willing to pay to get this fixed, as long as it's not outrageous It's not like I use my USB all that often, so I guess I could live without it, but I worry about when\if 2.3 comes out. I guess from our conversaion I'm wondering if that really will allow me to unroot, if there...

Was that one of the options in the sticked in the response to my original post? If so I must've missed it.... But doesn't Odin require a USB connection? I guess I thought flashing any rom required a USB connection.

I'm pretty sure on the drivers. I removed what I had and re-installed from a link I found online. From the searching I've done it seems that "Device Malfunctioned" error is the kiss of death. I've not found anyone yet who's recovered from that. I remember getting into dowload mode when I did...

I'm not opposed to hiding the fact that it's been rooted, or if a fix I tried bricked it I'd be okay returning it, but I'm not sure I want to go as far as frying it in a microwave. I've been looking for an ap in the market that would unroot for me, but so far none of the ones I've found have...
