Hello Nookers,
Remember that Sense 3.0 Port for Nook Project a long time ago? Well, the thread got closed because there wasn't a full product ready.
I'm almost done with my first working Sense Port, but I just need one more thing. First, lemme explain. These apps fail to works because the dump I used was an EVO View 4G dump, not the Wifi-Flyer's dump. So I have now managed to get a hold of a Deodexed Flyer RUU. I have extracted the ROM.zip containing system.img, data.img, etc. What I need now is a way to extract files from those. I have access to a Mac and PC but if ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY I will install Linux.
Thanks,
King Black Bomb.
Moo
if they are img files you can use IM disk to mount the img file on your PC. then you can access them and remove the files that you need to remove.
Dude, before you got banned two weeks ago, you said this would be done in 4 days, and you are still working on it? This is why you are not considered a credible developer.
You can use winimage to extract img files.

As I agree with the user above about your lack of credibility I'll add some info here for you to try to achieve your task. Attached is the program I use to extract images. ALL YOU DO IS DROP THE IMG FILE ON THE EXE AND IT WILL EXTRACT.
Yes, I did say that, and it was a mistake on my part I thought I would have found the program by then. Turns out a didn't. @xboxexpert I have tried unyaffs it does not work on either Mac or Windows. WinImage? It doesn't work. For some reason it seems encrypted. Same for IMDisk.
why are you even still trying this? HTC HAS MADE SENSE OPEN SOURCE AND WILL BE RELEASED ANY DAY NOW. www.htcdev.com

As I understand it, there aren't plans to make HTC Sense open source. This simply lets you write applications that make use of HTC Sense-specific APIs.
Woohoo, more free lawls! Get 'em while they're hot!
The kid has been stuck on the same step for several months, regardless of whichever RUU he stumbles upon on bittorrent. It's pretty pathetic at this point...
did you extract the exe from the rar?

Wooo - make fun of the kid! Why would anyone want to encourage learning! I'm a hypocrite, but only this once: If you're going to reply, at least attempt to answer his question or make progress towards an answer.
As long as actual development happens. I'm all for support.

You really need to read his old thread to understand -- in it, I was one of the only members trying to help him... at first. He proceeded to dismiss everyone's guidance -- consistently claiming to know better -- and continued to lie about "progress" for weeks. The extent of his "development" was copying and pasting the Sense apk's into /system... seriously.
There's history here with this clown, so please save your judgments for someone else...
You can try DiskInternals Linux Reader:
http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
OK, so you need to extract system.img files. You don't have to install Linux, you can run it from a Live CD. And mount loop the .img file to a folder on your system.
Mind PM'ing me a link to the download so I can do so for you? Then you can go ahead and do the port as you would say?
-Racks
To everyone who says I'm not a dev:
I have been making progress, because at first it was complaining about audio drivers, then files in /system/etc, and it kept on going. Finally, and i THINK this is the last step, is to push Wifi-Only frameworks, apks, and the /system/etc folder.
@racks11479 thanks, but I'll only tell others to do my work if I can't. But again thanks for offering.

What are you talking about, aren't you saying you need help extracting the system.img? I'm offering to help...
Isn't that the particular request you are asking in your OP? This is a developer community, everyone here welcomes help where needed. Not one developer on this forum has ever denied any help when they were stuck on an issue.
Not flaming you, but trying to help so you can continue the port you are working on. Don't let pride get in the way of progress.

No not pride, it's just as soon as I say yes people will say "oh, the kid need serious help. Can't even extract a system.img."

As it is, this thread has NOTHING to do with the nook, and needs to be closed. Frankly, i wish you would refrain from making these posts. It is obvious that you have no idea what is going on, and your posts are only serving to make this public info. I welcome everyone working on their dev skills, but strongly encourage those who are learning, to post about it in the right way....

This topic just needs to die.

Developers and other commenters have been very genorious in giving time and credibility to this poster (me excluded) and all he does in return is deny your help. He has been offered solutions like the ones given before but either he is not smart enough to handle such tasks or he is just a huge troll. So please ignore him. Please let this be the last post in this topic. This has gone on long enough and just needs to stop. If you don't then i will be forced to start posting pictures of dudes in g strings.

Ok, folks... Some very industrious devs have worked out a more complete vendor tree for the Eris at http://github.com/punk-kaos/vendor_htc_desirec. I've synced it into -
$AOSPsource/froyo/vendor/htc/desirec <-- this is the level that all of the files are at (i.e. everything under vendor_htc_desirec/ from the repo)
I'm a little lost as to where to go from there. I've looked at multiple vendor trees, and everyone seems to do things a little differently each time.
Can any of you point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Kudos to Kaos, jamezelle, conap, vinylfreak89, & darchstar! You really rock.
Ok, so I copied it all under
$AOSPsource/froyo/device/htc/
Since that's where the dream, passion, etc. stuff is.
Now, I do a - 'source build/envsetup.sh' and it seems to find the desirec stuff.
including device/htc/desirec/vendorsetup.sh
including device/htc/dream/vendorsetup.sh
including device/htc/passion/vendorsetup.sh
including device/htc/sapphire/vendorsetup.sh
I'm stuck at what to do a 'lunch' on now. In the vendorsetup.sh, there's a 'cyanogen_desirec-eng'.
When I 'lunch cyanogen_desirec-eng', I get -
build/core/product_config.mk:190: *** _nic.PRODUCTS.[[device/htc/desirec/froyo_desirec.mk]]: "vendor/htc/desirec/device_desirec-vendor-blobs.mk" does not exist. Stop.
** Don't have a product spec for: 'cyanogen_desirec'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?
Getting closer!
Applause
I read you posts and see the questions you ask(that never seemed to get answered)and you will post some stuff you have learned all to help someone else who might want to get started dinking around with a pretty cool open source operating system. I applaud you for asking questions and when no one replies you answer it again yourself. You are the true definition of open source!
Im fairly new to this whole scene so excuse the "dumb" question but what exactly is a vendor tree?
You are stellar. I am going to try and port a froyo rom and then start to build something from the ground up. The questions you ask and the information you provide is invaluable. Want to put a rom project together?

Thank you. Many devs have helped me to learn all that I have learned. They are busy people just like most of us. Some of them probably don't pay attention to the forum that often. Some just have their own projects. Some hang out in IRC instead of looking in here. Actually, I've learned a lot in IRC, even when I just kick back and lurk. I really do want to get all of the info that I learn out here in the forum where 'noobs' are lurking. I've found that there is a certain level of detail that is available fairly easily with the search box. There's a point where it takes some real digging to figure things out. My hope is that it won't always be that way.
I tried manually taking all of the files and settings from the vendor tree and inserting them into SgtShultz. It didn't fix things. So, I'm thinking that either it really does have to be compiled in or this tree and AOSP Froyo don't quite mesh. Since there is some source code in the tree, that is most likely the issue.
I never could get the lunch command to work. That file is not there, and I'm still not sure what it should contain if I were to create it. Getting this to work would really help both of my other current projects...

When you compile AOSP and/or variants from source, there is generally no device specific code - like drivers for instance. The vendor tree just sets everything up to add those proprietary files and settings into the mix, so that the resulting ROM will actually be usable. That's the idea anyway!
thanks for all the work you've been doing recently! i've followed the other thread as well... and am happy to say that i use (and appreciate) your work!

I also have a "dumb" question.
If this is for the Eris, then why are the files under the "desire" name? I thought the eris was based on the hero platform or am I missing something obvious here?

Great question! HTC's 'internal' name for the Eris is 'desirec' apparently. (Note that it's 'desirec' not 'desire'.) It was somewhat confusing when they came out with the Desire...

Holy cow! I did not run it because I already have all of those files in place. It didn't occur to me to check and see if 'extract-files.sh' does something more than just pull the files.
Thank you.
Np, been working on my own, I've done the same thing about 10 times in the past week.

So, I commented out all of the 'adb pull' statements in the 'extract-files.sh' script, since the files are already there. Now I see that extract-files was creating the ...blobs.mk file under vendor/htc/desirec instead of device/htc/desirec. So, I changed that and ran it all again...
cd $AOSPsource/froyo
device/htc/desirec/extract-files.sh
source build/envsetup.sh

And this gives me -

Thanks again! I know better than to do a drive by like that. I spent two minutes testing, posted the results, and then left to run errands for most of the day.
I'll try again when i get home.
so ive patched up the vendor on my computer (some files were pointing to devices/htc/desirec) and when i finally got it to behave i ran into something worse..
Code:
build/core/combo/TARGET_linux-arm.mk:39: *** Unknown ARM architecture version: armv6. Stop.
i ended up changing the lunch to desirec-eng because it wouldnt resolve the product name... im not a dev but i sure have a nose for this sort of thing, and help or an armv6.mk file would be appreciated
I made a tool so we can decrypt the acer updates easier.
Also added decryption key change if acer decides to change the key.

How 'bout telling him what it does, instead of just putting him down and calling him a noob?
@lpachuong, there's nothing we can do with it -yet-, since we have no way to re-encrypt them. It's possible we could do something like build a system.img and flash it with dd, though for now it's only good for poking around in the images.

Of course it's no problem to answer 1 or 2 questions - but there are many questions and lots of them do repeat.

It looked to me like he had read it, and didn't understand it, possibly to a language barrior.
Also, saying that it's not useful to him (in a polite way) is a lot better than saying that he's a noob and has no business working with it, and would have taken just as long to type. There's a point where he's just being rude to be rude. :|

Sorry, it's not. This info is available right here in this forum. All you have to do is look.
There is a difference between a noob and a newb. Right now all I see is a newb asking for information that can be freely found if one spends some time looking for it.
If you notice, the OP has helped quite a few people with legitimate questions and/or concerns.
Thank you for your understanding. But I should apologize for causing the troubles. I didn't know what the purpose of decrypting the zip file was, when there is no further step after that.
I guess I will be just more patient and wait until we can get access to the recovery mode. I just can't stand it when Acer has no update in Australia. I messed with dd the system and flex img before as well. Hopefully during this time, OP or someone else will come up with something that can re-encrypt it. I saw the chinese update.zip used signapk to pack the package but I failed to do so.
I don't mind being called noob =) People usually call me nerd so it sounds good to be called noob sometimes =D
peace.
dude you want to know how you're supposed to provide information and provide support?

anyways dont apologize dude, just dont mind some of these cranky guys.
If I decide to keep my Iconia, I'll consolidate all that information and make a guide somewhere.

OP in that topic instructs you to execute download.bat, but doesn't say that you need to have bins inside the same folder. I looked inside and though it will only send a bootloader, so then I can execute backup or restore commands.

You are aware that the guy who made the thread is the one who released the NVFlash tool in the first place right?
I used NVFlash to root. People have mentioned that this wipes and erases everything. You should of read everything before doing it.
I love it when people blame the OP/dev. But everything that you flash/do is YOUR responsibility. No body elses. Let's see you develop something for the TF101. Until then, don't criticize other people's works.
If you watched the video, it tells you what to do including moving the files extracted from Prime .tar.bz2 into the /nvflash/ folder. I'll agree that his instructions were kind of vague but if you really looked into the video, you would of noticed it.

Yea, quick instructions to brick your device. It's his responsibility to post complete instructions everywhere. I shouldn't have to guess that there might be more somewhere linked on the linked website. Is it so hard to warn people to put bins into folder or it will erase everything? As I said, in other thread sending bootloader allows you to execute commands by hand, here it executes automatically and the visual difference between two commands is not apparent.
Dude just redo the procedure with prime in the folder. You can still usee nvflash even if it doesn't boot at all

I shouldn't have to guess that there might be more somewhere linked on the linked website. Is it so hard to warn people to put bins into folder or it will erase everything? As I said, in other thread sending bootloader allows you to execute commands by hand, here it executes automatically and the visual difference between two commands is not apparent.

Man you must be new to Android. You should know that everytime when you do some kind of significant modification to your phone/tablet, there will most likely be a full wipe.
Everything is your responsibility. In the end, YOU'RE THE ONE that made the decision to use NVFlash. You should of done your research before hand. Or at least be a pest and ask before you do something.
Zephik, I think it's not the data that he's worried about. He thinks his device is bricked.

I did this like a moron too. It's OK, your TF is not bricked. Download the prime rom and extract it to the same folder as download.bat and you will be fine. I agree that the instructions could be clearer.
I think this guy is hopeless; he does not understand what he's reading. Could be a total misunderstanding of android concepts, or he is just lazy. He should stick with olpc, i think. Lol...
Looks like he herped when he derped.

Oh man. That's a huge contradiction. Upon using a tool that is supposed to unbrick your tablet... bricked his table
Cry elsewhere please. If you don't know what you're doing... don't do it. Its amazing that that even needs to be said.

I'm sorry but this has nothing to do with deving, should be in general forums .....just my two cents....

If you did request for assistance due to your own incompetence, you would not have been at the receiving end of brickbats. Next time, do not throw garbage else it would go back to you.
i agree that there is a bit of ambiguity regarding where to put the rom files [extracting the zip into the same folder, will place them into a subfolder]. Perphaps modify the instructions to make it a bit more clear.
the op is a bit over-reacting though. that thread was brought to you by the people who brough us the nvflash process [and also by the letter M]. a bit less tude would go a long way.

Over the internet there are various guides teaching the lesson 'how to get out of a soft brick.' Some guides can be hard to follow and very hoarse leaving a noob feeling like he/she has destroyed their device. Fear Not.This is a comprehensive guide for less experienced users who happen to find themselves in a soft brick.
Dictionary - Soft brick - the phone can still boot, and be flashed easily but in its current state is unusable.
- Hard brick - the phone cannot boot and requires additional devices to do so (USB Jig, Riffbox).
This is the quickest escape route on the interweb and you will be done in no time. Here we go:
First Download Flashtool. Here (You may download any version from the previous versions tab.)
Install Flashtool.
Find the stock firmware for your device. For the x8
E15i android 2.1.1 http://www.multiupload.com/VKNI6Q6ET5 (2.1.1.C.0.0 latest firmware)
Dictionary - stock firmware - latest version of software released by the manufacturer
After downloading the firmware. Extract the file. You will be left with a firmware file with .ftf as the ending.
Go into 'my computer' then 'flashtool' folder then 'firmware'. Then copy the .ftf file into that folder.
Close the folder.
Now to make sure that your phone is recognized by flashtool, go into computer then flashtool then drivers.
Now Install the driver for the x8.
Connect your x8 to your computer.
open the Flashtool program.
Click the bolt icon in the top left.
Select the name of the firmware you downloaded (2.1.1.C.0.0) in the left panel. it will highlight blue.
Click ok (bottom right).
A box will appear telling you to put your device into flash mode. Follow the instructions it gives.
Once this is done the box will dissapear and firmware will flash.
Finally device will reboot and phone will be back to normal.
Congratulations you have unbricked your device.
I hope you found this useful. Please thank me using the button if you appreciate my efforts. #
This is my first guide. Tell me what you think. Anything I could improve.
Very good guide, cause didn't know yet about this..very thanks..:thumbup:
Sent from my XPERIA X8 using xda premium
nice and quick guide, i guess that what a paniced newbie search for!
suggestion:i think you should add about the installation of drivers,as many users come here telling that their phones is not recognized by flashtool
also change the 4-noobs at the title, is kidda disturbing...put "for" instaid of 4
There is about 100 threads about that. Just color of text and size is diferent!
guuuuuuuyyyyyyyyyyysssssssssss,dont attack him because he want to help,if you dont like it,ignore it!

I know what you are talking about,but as long as there are so many who make a new thread for asking help for a brick,I prefer having similar threads with the same information that will help people rather than having stupid threads that are useless after all.....

Thankyou for everyone's support. I have changed the '4' to 'for' in the title as suggested by stamatis16.

As someone who studied psychology, I know that people learn in very different ways. A guide from someone else may not help a certain person. Different fonts evoke different responses and speeds of learning. Different colours do similar things too. So in response to the 'there are millions of guides' argument, I say . Everyone learns differently and this may help someone desperate more effectively than any other. I know that when I needed this help none of the guides were as simple as the one I have composed.
In addition to this, please remember, I am spending my personal time to aid others. So negative flaming saying that my posts are 'not really helping' is always a let-down.
Thankyou once again for the support.
Special thanks lyhengboy stamatis16 for comments.
Guys, think of it this way. Its better for someone to make a new thread which will prevent 2000 threads asking the same topic.
Hmm OP can we merge this topic with the existing one with Lucas? You can always PM him for ideas
For now I agree that it is somehow odd to create extra thread for the same purpose for noob knowing that there is already an existing one. Very nice purpose but we need to be organized as well hugs.

I can understand that but I have clearly highlighted in my post before this one why I made a new thread. Please read it if you have not.
Also I would like to have my own 'branding' if you like, of guides and reviews. I try to spice each one up differently to combat that argument.
Thankyou very much for being kind when posting. :laugh: Sorry if I come across as rude, I do not mean to be this way.
Q:Hmm OP can we merge this topic with the existing one with Lucas? we need to be organized as well
A: I would be very sad if you were to delete or move or zap this thread for the reasons you mention above. I have spent great periods of time composing and tailor making this for certain users. As a RC I hope you can understand my reasoning.
Thankyou once again.
EDIT: I have changed the title to make it seem 'different'. I also want to mention my 'dictionary' feature. I think this is different and may help my argument.
I fully understand you. Thy will be done
Can someone with a soft bricked X8 let me know if its possible to boot into safe mode?
Hold menu when booting.
Thankyou. I was a bit scared when you said you wanted to remove this post and 'merge it with another.' Great to know you are so supportive.
Yes, please do not merge this. I have benefited allot from this post. Merging it I think will take out the time put into to this. Plus, other people may not see this. I am happy the op decided not to merge.

Thanks, man
I don't have a soft or a hard brick. But I acknoledge you made a great guide and thank you anyway.
It was also useful because I am still considering if I should root my Galaxy Ace Duos GT-S6802 or not. And this made me realize that even if it bricks, it can be reverted. Do you have any idea if a hard brick is reversible? Also, in worst case scenario, can I simply download the software from samsung site and install it? Thanks. And sorry if I broke any rules here, I'm still a noob (still scared by the introdutory video haha)

Hi
I did install copy app on my device, however I got a few FC's is anyone facing this on our phones?

Hey try to wipe cache on your phone.
Regarding to install Copy into Linux (Debian and Debian based OS - my case) do the following:
1- Download Copy from website copy.com
2- extract it contents
$tar -xvf copy_[hit tab]
3- move it to /opt/ folder
$sudo mv copy/ /opt/copy
4- Optional - I like to download a icon too.
https://www.copy.com/include/images/images-std/about-copycrane.png?v=jenkins-Copy_Web_Production-312
download it and copy it to /opt/copy/, change its name to logo.png
5- Create a ln for use a command:
For 32bit users
$sudo ln -s /opt/copy/x86/CopyAgent /usr/bin/copy_agent
for 64bit users
$sudo ln -s /opt/copy/x86_64/CopyAgent /usr/bin/copy_agent
6- create links
$sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/copy.desktop
And put this content on it:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Copy
GenericName=File Synchronizer
Comment=Sync your files across computers and to the web
Exec=copy_agent
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/opt/copy/logo.png
Categories=Network;FileTransfer;
StartupNotify=false
Now its just insert the copy_agent command on your startup applications.
Proceed the following:
$sudo nano /etc/rc.local
type in it before the exit 0:
copy_agent
Done
Have fun!

Thank you Sir, got to make it run in my phone and in my Ubuntu.
I didn't understand how to fix the copy fc's.. do I need to go to twrp and wipe? Is it possible to do from titanium backup?
Thanks for the Copy's tutorial for ubuntu very useful.

Bud, just go straight and forward to your recovery TWRP or CWM and proceed a cache wipe, it will probably fix the FC.
FYI I never faced such problem, furthermore the copy app eats almost nothing of memory if compared with dropbox.
wow if this wasnt the most blatant way around the anti referral rule.

Though I went to his referral website (minus the referral) and any site requiring me to shut off my popup blocker to see ANYTHING isn't worth my time.

I can tell that made absolutely no sense.
I can tell that the link he posted *was in fact a referral link.
I can tell you didn't mouse over the link to see that it was a referral link.
Just my 2 cents...
*The link has been removed by a moderator.

Chill out.. why are you so angry?
There is much more things to worry about than with this.. "no sense" thing. Actually, I think that "no sense" is this discussion and commentaries you did. Just report to the moderator and done.. we are not judges here to judge someone.
I am not telling he is right, but, ops, he helped that guy who asked first! Including me! Yes, it was a referral link.. it's not correct. But who is perfect?! Who never fails in your own ways? You? For sure I don't.
For this reason.. chill out.. our president is doing much more f**** wrong things.. with this we should worry and get angry about..
And yes, these all things are wrong.. but what don't worth is to blamming someone for helping others like me. And as I told you before.. I don't have 1% in my thanks meter than he has.. so I cannot talk to much about him.. I don't help too many like him.. and about you? And oh, I am not his personal friend.. I am just thankful for his collaboration and help.
Again, my 2 cents. Oh, and please, since as someone asked the moderator to remove the link, btw thanks to Moderator for that, so please stop this discussion about this.
Going back to the TOPIC now:
I don't know how to include this service on my start up. Anyone can help please? And I did a wipe cache but now good results..
Thanks
If you have Ubuntu, then it should automatically mount. This happens at least on aosp

I also do not have problems. Working perfectly on my ubuntu and on my cyanogemmod using the provided instructions.
I wonder why people likes to get into confusions and fights around XDA. It's amazing and sad. Just let it go. Thumb down for the fighters over here.
There is no fight. The referral link was removed and it's over.
I'm not sure why the kid is butt-hurt, but "That's life" as the saying goes.
I hope he figures out the problem with his machine.
