I need help with my rooted A500! :( - Acer Iconia A500

Hi! I just recently rooted my tab and flashed ROM'd it to the new Flexreaper ICS,
previously my external HDD worked perfectly fine with my tab. But now when I connect it to the tablet it shows that little notification in the bottom that says something like "connected USB something" sorry if it's inaccurate for like 1 second and then it disappears as it appears, I've tired formatting my HDD to FAT32 and NTFS and yet still no sign, I used that apk called NTFS mount, but still no sign. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can somebody please help me out it's kind of driving me nuts here!
Thank!

I don't get it....Haha...My tab isn't bricked...it just has that one issue where it can't read external HDD like it use to :S But thanks for the advice...

Just try a reflash

Alright I'll give that a try and get back to you asap!

Stupid ASUS update bricked my A626!

A few days ago, I tried to upgrade the firmware to the latest for the SDHC support and it the middle of it it froze.. I reset and only get the ASUS welcome screen.. A hard-reset produces a black screen and nothing more.
I've been searching this site for 2 hours trying to figure out how to fix my A626 .. I've found a bunch of things, but don't seem to be getting there.
I found the nk.nb0 file and tried putting that on an SD card.. Managed to figure out the bootloader thing.. If it's not plugged in via USB, I get a blank screen for a second, then "FAT16" comes up in blue on the top of the screen (in landscape orientation) .. It sits at that longer than I'm willing to wait (so far about 5 minutes) ..
I then tried it plugged into USB, i get a blue screen with all sorts of stuff about usb and "ready for download" .. I figured this is when the usbloader.exe would work .. But I get this far:
Attempting to open Intel PXA27X USB Development Board
FAILED to open \\?\usb#vid_0b05&pid_420f#5&85e63a3&0&3#{25dbce51-6c8f-4a72-8a6d-

and when i try to load the .nb0 file using usbloader:

try to open \\.\wceusbsh003
try to open \\.\wceusbsh004
try to open \\.\wceusbsh005
USB pipe opening error
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is there something I'm missing here? I'm not too interested in modifying my rom or anything. I just want it to work again (preferrably with the update installed so I can use my new 4gb sdhc card.. which is the whole reason i bricked the damn thing in the first place) ..
I may just let it sit on this fat16 screen for a while.. get some rest or something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
whoa wait... after plugging the cable into the computer a few times it finally did something... seems like i'm loading SOMETHING onto it...
Ok wow, it's working now.. and whatever I loaded is supporting the sdhc card ... i'm happy happy..
figures i'd only solve the problem if i made an ass of myself on a message board
sorry for replying to an old thread.. but just wanted to know if you currently have windows 6.2 on your pda.

Safely Removing G1 in ubuntu...

Hi, i searched and couldnt find anything... I just installed ubuntu and have been dual-booting with windows Vista for several weeks now. My question is im a windows (redheaded step)child and im not too familiar with linux' inner workings yet...so i have not been doing anything to "safely remove" my G1 when in ubuntu, cuz i thought that such an option doesnt exist...problem is now i think ive corrupted all my data on my SDcard and i was just hoping that someone could tell me how to do this correctly in ubuntu? Do i hafta mount it, and THEN unmount it before i should unplug it? I dont even know if this is the problem, but ive been watching my logcat and it gives me some Dbus error when i plug in USB and it doesnt come up on the phone with option to mount SDcard, and windows doesnt recognize my device anymore. Pretty sure i corrupted my SD, im pretty sure i can fix it without help, if someone could just tell me the proper procedure for removing devices from ubuntu? thanks in advance...

I dual boot ubuntu on my mac OSX, which emulator are you using (fusion VM, virtualbox etc...?)
(1) When you've properly mounted your SD card it should show up on your ubuntu Desktop. Just go to Places > Desktop and you should be able to eject the SD card (two if you are partitioning them and AppstoSD) by pressing the "eject" button. The SD card should show up in the left window pane.
(2) Also, you probably have corrupted your SD card and are going to have to reformat it, losing all of your data.
(3) Somewhere in your emulator there should be a USB button to see which devices are plugged into your host computer, and which ever one you select your emulator will read.
(4) Finally, you don't provide enough information for a real answer...
(a) What ubuntu are you running?
(b) Do you have appstosd?
(c) have you done a nandroid backup?
(d) Which emulator/virtual environment are you running?
Hope this helps.
In Nautilus (the file manager) there will be a little orange eject symbol next to the drive. Clicking it will unmount the drive, which you should ALWAYS do before pulling any kind of removable media out of the socket. Unmounting is the *nix equivalent of "ejecting" in Windows.
If you're running a command line setup, the command to unmount is
Code:
sudo umount /media/(insert mount name here)
Hope that helps!
I too dual boot and noticed they i wouldn't get the "usb connected" on the G1. After some tweaking a few options; i noticed I would get the USB connected IF my usb debugging was ON. [settings- applications- developement- usb debugging]. I have to check for Ubuntu and uncheck for windows. I hope that helps
you see the problem is that ive never actually mounted my G1 in ubuntu, i just plugged it in to charge...so i never had to unmount it and theres no "safely remove" function, that i could find, so i figured that linux was just secure enough that it didnt require safely removing devices....oops...in answer to your questions, first im not running any VM...im ACTUALLY dual-booting. i have windows vista and ubuntu Jaunty running side-by-side, on a compaq presario f700. I DO have USB debugging ENABLED, and right now im running JF1.42rc33 still, im prolly gonna be wiping and upgrading to SOMETHING today, i was kinda just holding off cuz i like my theme, but my phones f-in up so nows as good a time as any to start fresh. I dont use a2sd, just my caches for market, browser, and maps are on sd. Ive been having trouble on my g/f's hp Pavilion pc running windows vista...we both have g1's and HERS is stock, unrooted, and she just got the OTA a couple days ago, since then the computer has been hating on MY phone, it says the drivers screwed and it wount bring up the option on my phone to mount the sdcard. hers still works fine, and mine still works fine hooked up to my laptop, just not hers...so i dunno if THATS a cupcake issue or if its cuz i didnt remove it from ubuntu right...im gonna format my sd AND wipe my phone, and ill get back to you guys moentarily, thanks for all your replies.
-BMFC
If all you were doing is charging, and you didn't mount it, then your original assumption was correct. You don't need to unmount something that was never mounted.
mm0
ok well then somebody help me out with this: i have tried for two days to get my sdcard to format, and IT JUST WONT. I cant get it to even be recognized by my girlfriends computer, but her G1 running UNrooted TMOCupcake still works fine, kinda makes me wonder if hers didnt get some kinda updated driver packed with it? The cupcake, i mean, not the phone...i dunno. Anyways my phone WONT mount in ubuntu at all, it shows up but when i try to mount it it says "No media on Volume" and wont open it at all. so in windows it ACTS like its doin everything i want it to do...i tried to format my sd yesterday and i sat here and watched it the whole time, and when it finshed it said: "Format Completed SUCCESSFULLY." so i SAFELY REMOVED IT, unplugged and plugged back the usb, and when it came up EVERYTHING WAS STILL THERE!!!! my problem seems to be my sdcard/doom folder...it tells me that the folder \doom is ENTIRELY UNREADABLE.
ahem...on a side note, all these things happened at once...(same day)
1. My g/f got the OTA cupcake update...
2. I updated some apps from the market, the one that im suspecting right now is called "Cards(-)" by Coderminus. After i updated it, i went to play Doom, and instead of playing like usual, when i hit the "Play" button, it just exitted to home. So i checked my logcat and the Cards(-) app caused ALL KINDS of runtime errors, and so i uninstalled this app.
3. My market starts crashing all of a sudden. I cleared the cache and it SEEMED to fix it...for now.
4. Uninstalled Doom (ver. 1.29.666) and then went and deleted my doom folder.(I thought) Reinstalled newest version of Doom (ver. 1.31.666)
5. Tried to redownload the WADs to play, and i could get it to play, as long as i didnt try to download the sound files. Everytime i tried to get the sounds, it would act fine, but then when id go to play the game itd just exit to home again....
6. Repeated step 5. like 6 times....
This was all like 2 days ago? 3 days ago? and ive been messing with it ever since, and my PHONE is fine, but my SDCARD appears to be, for lack of a better term, ****ED. i cant even format it, ive tride 3 times, it just all comes right back when i plug it back in...i even tried to put an update.zip in my sdcard and update from JF1.42RC33 to (I was gonna try Dude's 1.2b) so i put that in there, and removed it and when i went into my file manager on the g1, the update wasnt there! i cannot seem to be able to make ANY changes to my sd...SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Try ti format your card from within your phone. Unfortunately that's the only issue I can help you with.
Edit: try doing a system wipe on your girlfriends phone from the recovery menu. It should solve the crashes. You will wave to reinstall all your apps tho.

I...didnt even know that was possible...im not seein any options to do that...you know some terminal commands for that or somethin? Cus when i got into my file manager (i use aFile, cuz it has wireless transfer) i cant even delete anything from there, ANY folder i try to delete it just says "Failed to delete (folder name)"...so if you know how to do that then hook me up and ill try it...
-BMFC
EDIT: i think you misunderstood, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG with my girlfriends phone...its just that she got the US OTA and it happened at the same time as all this other, so i thought maybe it might have had some effect on how mine interfaces with her comp...honestly i doubt it, but until someone tells me im wrong im not ruling it out...
On your phone Goto your settings menu, sdcard and phone memory, unmount your card and then select format
No dice, seems you may be on a diff. ROM than me, i dont have that option, i unmount the card, and thats all that happens, it unmounts it...no format option...
-BMFC
Damn that sucks. Does your girls phone have that option? I wish I could help you out. But I'm at a loss
Sdcard IMPOSSIBLE TO FORMAT....need ADVANCED help!!!
hi i posted a thread here for help, and i did so cuz i need help from someone INTELLIGENT. The mods have now moved my post to the "General section" of the dream forum, where i cant get **** for help. The reason i didnt just post in that section, where it goes, is CUZ NO ONE CAN OR WILL HELP ME OVER THERE....i need a devs help or somethin...THATS why i posted in the dev section...cus its pointless to try to get support from end users...i might as well just sit in the bedroom with NO COMPUTER asking MYSELF what the answer is...so first off id like to thank the AWESOME mods here for burying my post head-high in a section that i cant get any support in, EVER. THEN, id like to ask some dev(s) or SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY INTELLIGENT, please go to
this thread
and read, and im BEGGING you for help!!! To whoever helps me figure this out i would gladly donate to WHATEVER cause you have!!!! Honestly, if you ONLY read MY posts, you wont miss anything important, except some guy with the SAME SKILL LEVEL AS ME telling me to wipe SOMEBODY ELSES PHONE and see if that works...****.
SOMEONE PLEASE try to help me out before the AWESOME mods here at xda move this post, too. Im not sorry im posting in the wrong secrtion cuz this is where the help is and thats REALLY what i need right now. So MODS, you can move my posts all day long, ill just make a new one linking to the old one till i get some support...suspend me...BAN me, i dont care, ill just keep coming back with new usernames and accounts until i get some help, cuz THATS WHAT THE F*CK SUPPORT FORUMS ARE FOR. Im really pissed at whatever mod moved my post, cuz the SECOND i posted that thread initially, i got like 4 or 5 replies, thats why i LOVE this forum, cuz it has GREAT SUPPORT, when you can actually get your question seen by a dev, that is. but as soon as my post got moved i got several replies from one DUMBASS that was TRYING to help, and ill give him that he was just tryin to help, but i have a problem with my phone, and this guy tells me i should WIPE MY GIRLFRIENDS PHONE. WOW. Just wow. Someone please go read my problem and post there, or post here, with some answers....MODS PLEASE DONT MOVE THIS THREAD I AM TRYING TO GET SOME HELP!!!!
-BMFC
yea *****ing like a 4 year old will you nowhere. no one owes you anything.
If you have a camera, try using that to format your memory card. Hope it works.
lol ok first off take it easy on the mods here, i'm speaking of your other post, they try to keep these forums clean and it isnt an easy job all things considered.
the way i see it you have 2 options.
1. Throw your card in a digital camera and use the camera to format it. I works most the time when a computer wont, several times my pc wouldn't recognize/format a card but my ****ty digital camera had no problem.
2. if that doesn't work, splurge the $8.99(or less) it costs to get a new sd.
I've even seen 8gig class 6 cards for around $20 and 4gig class 4 cards for $10.
edit: wow just a min too late

[Q] Boot Loop, help?

IN MY INFINITE WISDOM, I replaced my build.prop with the one from a Motorola Xoom in an attempt to get Sketchbook Pro to show up in the market. Now my tablet is boot looping.
I backed the original up in the same directory, as build.prop.OLD. If I could mount system and replace the file with a PC, I'd imagine that the tablet would work again. How could I do that?
However, THERE IS ANOTHER COMPLICATION! I used the 'Acer Phone Disabler' app to remove the telephony drivers, which means that I cannot flash a rom or the tablet will brick. I'm not sure what this means for Nandroid backups.
The tablet has the leaked stock 3.1 rom installed, it's rooted, and it has Clockworkmod recovery.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Oh god.
I used ADB to pull my build.prop.OLD, renamed it to build.prop, and pushed it back. Now... the tablet boots up, and it shows the Android "Welcome" screen. Clicking the only button available doesn't work. It just highlights as if it is selected, and doesn't do anything when I lift my finger up.
I DO have a Nandroid backup from several weeks ago of the same rom, but from BEFORE I removed the telephony drivers. I am only going to try restoring it as a last resort; does anyone have any ideas? Remember, flashing a rom would result in a brick because I used Acer Phone Disabler. Is a nandroid backup safe?
Thanks guys. I'm really hoping this tablet isn't too screwed.
I'm hoping someone else chimes in here but I am under the impressing that the nandroid backup would override any changes you could make as long as you don't break recovery. As far as my experience goes if you had a backup of your current configuration you could do an "advanced restore" and only restore your "system"

Restoring just system worked! My homescreen is back to stock but all my apps are still installed, so I don't really care. Thanks a bunch, I was so worried.
COOL!!!
Glad I could help.

Help needed for a boot loop
Well as said in the video, i reuse an existing thread about bootloop...
I'm stuck in a bootloop with an iconia A500... but let's look at the steps that got me there...
The First mistake was to answer yes to my friend who asked me to connect his Vodafone k3565 to his iconia A500, but as i read Android was linux based and i did use linux a lot as a student, i didn't even imagine it could go wrong...
Tablet was stating to run :
Android 3.1
Bernel 2.6.36.3-00009-9dddf6f2
Build 4.015.05-EMEA-CUS3
i did root with iconia root 1.3
then added Busybox and a terminal program.
reboot, try a SU and could access the devices
Here is the second mistake... i should have wondered how to restore to normal state before starting, because i don't have any SD card that suit the device ( mine are normal sized ones, you know.. Stamp sized :/ )
Then i got to the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058846&page=7
and i used an usb key to transfer it to the device, but before applying the files i took a look to them and found 3 of them would overwrite actual system files, so i did a backup of them :
/system/build.prop
/system/etc/apns-conf
/system/bin/rild
and looking at the build.prop i saw differences in the values of the one on the A500 and the one in the package so i decided to get only the missing lines from the new system.zip file and add them to the original file
And here is the 3rd mistake, and i guess the reason of the problem : i did that merge on a windows computer, and i fear it did add those pesky CRLF at the end of lines, turning my build.prop into a build.prob(lem).
I'm not sure, as i didn't check before it was too late.
rebooted and... boot loop, with 1 times out of 2, the little android with yellow triangle and exclamaition mark.
Cried, runned in circles, then looked on forums to find a solution.
Reboot with Power+Volume gives :
"Erasing cache before SD update...
SD update cmd:recovery
--update_package=sdcard:update.zip
Booting recovery kernel image"
Then i get the android with gears for a few seconds, then below him is a bar like the one in the android store when you download a file, then half a second later, again the exclaimation mark.
I also tried plugging a keyboard to hit the home key...
( in fact two : Logitech G110 and trust easy scroll silverline )
no difference, maybe because those are gaming keyboards and they arent loaded soon enough by the tab, or maybe it crashes before keyboard loading.
Tried then to install ADB using post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155664
hoping i could use the USB cable to put the backup files back in place but when i plug the device into the windows host, it recognises an unavailable USB MTP device, whose properties say "Acer iconia tab a500" in the "signaled bus description"(translated from french display, may be something else in english)
I manually force added the Acer ADB interface, but both the devices are unavailable to windows, with a warning sign, stating "this device cannot start (code 10)"
"Adb shell" answers "Error:device not found",which is expected, as windows can't see the devices properly
the strange thing is that, with USB plugged from A500 to PC, the Android with exclaimation stays forever, while without the cable, the system boot-loops
so i'm at this point :
i have a boot looping device, and the backup of the modified files on an USB key, and no way to put them back on device.
I found on the forums a lot of different .imgs that could be put on the /system to reload the device but none with EMEA-CUS3. So if i overwrite the files, i can't go back
I read you need a SD card to patch the device but not all of them work...
And my only computer with a SD slot uses a big one, not micro one, so i also need an adapter to write on the sd card.
Is someone near me (belgium/postcode 4000) having a SD ward working with the device who could lend it or help me doing the job ?
else
i saw in a nearby store ad "Sigma SDHC 4Go" or "Sigma SDHC 8Go", with apparently an adaptor for a normal sized SD slot, can anyone confirm it works or it don't work for sure ?
else
Can anyone tell me an SD card know to work, and being sold currently with an adapter so i have a chance to find one in a store near me ?
Is there a way to create an update.zip that will only update the files i did overwrite ?
if not, has someone an image for the same system i have ?
Well... lots of questions, but i'm very worried, especially as the device is not mine and not working anymore atm.
-> update
Looking closer at the modem (Vodafone k3565) it has a trap that says "SD card" so i guess i won't need an adapter... still need the reference of a SD card known to work for the restoring.
[bump] and more :
this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834144
lists working SD cards, but don't tell with which device. i'd take the guess it applies to the iconia A500 and take the list to the shop to see if anyone is available...
Did you install the Acer USB driver, found here? http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/drivers
You might need to go into device manager after installing and right click/update drivers on the tablet, then manually direct it to the Acer driver folder. That's what I did, then ADB worked.

The reason "some" SD cards don't work is down purely to formatting. Normally, reformatting them in an Android phone sorts it out. Not always, but normally. Don't worry about the GEN3 stuff too much, it's just regional variations anyway... More important to get the tab working again, no?
Yes i did ( on 2 different computers, just to be sure )...
and still the device is not recognised as "adb device".
Windows shows a "USB MTP Device"
Tried to manually add the "ACER Composite ADB Interface" and "ACER Fastboot Interface" to the installed peripherals, it shows with yellow exclaimation mark, never shows up running.
Without any useable answer about one week later, i did buy a Traxdata 2Gb SD card with adapter ( the cheapest i found with an adapter from micro SD to normal SD ) and flashed with the Emea_Gen3 ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878.
Now the tablet works, but is telling me 4.010.42-COM-GEN1 instead of the previous 4.015.05-Emea-Cus3.
Seems to work correctly, so i go on with the modem connexion.

Mis-direction?

So,
I'm not the best husband but I bought my wife a Nook Color and rooted it last week. No issues.
Today for Mothers Day I gave it to her and she loved it. She went to bed however, and when trying to install a new rom (I back'd up etc etc) the thing went all black screen and wouldn't start.
I've gotten an image of Clockwork Mod (and it boots to that, it wasn't booting at all after the above mentioned issue) and from what I've read and scoured the intrawebs for this is what needed to be done.
From this point, I've read a million different topics (and please stay with me, I'm not fantastic when it comes to these things) I cannot for the life of me get to a point to install the file called: nookcolor_1_4_1_signed which is supposed to be the thing that I need to get the Nook back to its original self.
If anyone, everyone, could supply some information in regards to what step needs to be taken next I will be 1,000,000 times greatful. I have looked everywhere, and seem to get confused once it comes to getting that zip (if that's what I need to finish the process).
I've gotten into Clockwork and MOUNTED everything from /system /data /cache/ /sdcard (however, said card doesn't pop open on my laptop) and when I try to mount the USB storage I get an error titled: "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory).
I'm at the point of no return, but I dont' want to give up. I feel like I just need some direction on what to do at this point.
Again, 1,000,000 times thanks if anyone could provide any direction. I've read through-all these threads and it seems jumped.
THANKS!
The file you're looking for is in this post.
Also, try using a cheap usb card reader... many reports of issues burngin and reading these cards with internal card readers.

Hello, from Spain. (Sorry for my English)
I have this problem in my nook simple touch: appears on the screen: "encountered a problem that requires a system restart"
I've tried all sorts of things I've seen in this forum and in others (update to 2.0.1; recoverys, formatting, etc. and nothing works.
I would like to try installing version 1.0.0 of nook, but I can not find the .iso.
Could someone help me? Thank you very much.

Do you have ADB working?
A logcat will tell you exactly what the problem is.
Hello
Thank you for contestarrme.
1. The Nook can not be opened.
2. Nor is turned off completely
3. After it seems a restart, the message "Encountered a problem That requires a system restart" appears
4. Nor do I make the PC recognize it.
5. I tried to fix it using this software uy following the instructions of the forum to do so, but without success: "sd_2gb_clockwork-rc2", "Alpha-FormatTouch-2", "touchnooter-2.1.31", "install_stock_1.1_recovery "" NookManager-0.5.0 "
6. Unfortunately I can not find the original Nook software, to introduce it, but would not know how to do because the PC does not recognize the Nook
7. If you have any idea and can explain it, I will be deeply grateful.
8. Final note. I've been looking for "logcat", as I say, but I have not found the way to do if my computer does not recognize the nook. Is it possible to do another modo¿ give me a link where you explain?
9. Many, thank you very much !!
The good part is that the NST is almost unbrickable.
The bad part is that to get things going is a bit complicated.
(I've also lost track of where the stock images are.)

When you get that error, does it restart itself or do you have to push a screen button?
If you're using Windows, does it "bong" when you plug in the Nook?
Does Windows ever say "unknown device" or ask for a driver?
What happens with a long push on the power button?
I'd stay away from these "super-one-click-nooter" things, they aren't very good when something is wrong.
Hello
I try to understand the link you sent me.
Meanwhile, I answer your questions:
1. When you get that error, does it restart itself or do you have to push a screen button?I am the one that presses the button, to restart. If I do not push it, it does nothing
2. If you're using Windows, does it "bong" when you plug in the Nook? Effectively, when connecting the nook you hear the typical sound, but it does not appear between the connected devices (although once it appeared ... I have tested the cables with other devices and they work perfectly)
3. Does Windows ever say "unknown device" or ask for a driver? Never:
4. What happens with a long push on the power button? If I hold down the button, the display remains frozen (read forever). As soon as I stop pressing, it starts to start (nook.by Barnes ...)
5. More: I tried to press the lower left and right buttons, and a message appears that says install failed
thank you!!

Hello
I have been reading the link you mentioned above. The truth is that I find it difficult. If you have any idea (I do not mind putting the Nook at risk) I'm ready to take it. Thank you !!
Hi.
I've been this weekend trying to figure out how to fix my nook. After trying noogie "and not getting anything (the screen freezes with the message rooted forever) I have come to the following conclusion: maybe I could fix the nook with a backup of some person who wanted to give me yours, and then put it in The nook with the program Roadkil's DiskImage.What do you think the idea? Do you think someone would have a backup of their nook that could lend me? Thanks
Sorry, short response for now.
You know that the point of Noogie is just to put up the splash screen, then mount the entire internal SD card over USB?
It doesn't have any user controls after that.
No, i did not know. I thought it was to restore the nook to an original version.
Thank you
Hi.
I guess the silence indicates the few solutions that exist for my Nook.
Thank you very much for everything, Renate. It has been a pleasure.
Gracias!!
Maybe this?

Awhile back, XDA member @the_alternate posted a link for a region reflasher. If you can get the NST to at least reset, you might be able to rewrite the innards by that method. The link is https://sites.google.com/site/xcdguides/nook/nookregion
Sorry for the speed of my response.
It can be a little tricky to get things working, especially:
If you never turned ADB on.
If you never got the Windows drivers working before
If you never made a backup.
Can you get Noogie to work?
Do you see new disks on your Windows machine?
Do you see any "unknown devices" in the Device Manager in Windows?
Hi, Renata. Before writing I tried the solution you give me about the region change, but it did not work. I think I'm asking for something impossible and, besides, making you waste your time. I very much appreciate and very sincerely the help you have given me A way so disinterested, but taking advantage of Christmas I will buy a new Nook.If you think, we finished this topic. Thank you, thank you. I hope you enjoy the year 2017 and everything is wonderful in your life and in the lives of people around you.
