Yes, but mine actually works...That version didn't work for Mac. Since both versions require different code and steps to work I thought it would make the most sense to have a separate thread.

Coming soon in the next version I will make the file size a whole lot smaller and add more help information.

Am I suppose to mount the SD? I'm getting this message "strings: can't open file: ./nv_data.bin (No such file or directory)". Help please.
*Nvermind, got it working. Thanks for this easy program.

worked for me
Thanks a lot - worked at the first try for me (code generated on my MAC)
So from now on i can use my CAPTIVATE here in germany with vodafone
Will donate later..

Doesn't vodaphone have the original Galaxy S? Or did you buy the Captivate for looks?

Did you use version 2.0 or 1.0? If it is 2.0 then it would say when you start it up. I am just curious.

Just saw this. Looks real too! http://forum.androidcentral.com/asus-eeepad-transformer/88744-transformer-3-1-update-here.html

engadget is reporting that an over the air update will come out next week some time. most likely to conincide w/ the slider announcement.

just the US version, right?
or is it possible to flash a US SKU over a WW? thought this would not be working?

Not advised for official ROMs, for custom you can flash it anyway you like. Though I think using CWM and flashing this should work... You end up with CWM recovery and an unrooted ROM. Correct me if I'm wrong...

done. worked perfectly.
theres this tiny black thing blinking on my wifi icon on 3.1....what is it.
seems to be little up and down black arrows like elevator buttons.

so all we have to do now is wait for the dock firmeware update next week?

I think the one pushed via OTA will have a higher build number

oh sweet. is that a 3.1 thing?
UPDATE: my youtube app, im not sure if it shows at 720 p or 1080p but i did a lonely island video thats 1080p and it didn't even skip. Testing the web-based version now.
UPDATE 2: seems the web based one in 720p is fantastic 1080p not so much. This does for both stock browser and dolphin beta 3.

Easier install method if you don't like fiddling around with the power button:
1) Make a folder called ASUS/Update from the root of your microSD card
2) Drop the .zip in there, rename to 'US_epad-user-8.4.4.5.zip' (not sure if the renaming is totally necessary)
3) If you're doing this on the Transformer itself, eject and remount the SD card. If on your PC, just plug the card in.
4) Click the update notification, it'll start the updater on it's own.

does your TF has to be rooted? I am not rooted but I do have a sd card

Ooooh! Downloading...
Does this wipe everything and leave you unrooted? Or is root kept as well as apps+settings? Now at Prime 1.3r2 (WW)

create the folder and dump the file inside of the folder (via pc) and then insert the card into the TF and click on update notification and it will begin flashing? Thanks

it got detected then when i cliked it, it went into the android with the exclamation point. What does that mean??

Huge system data usage

I have had some issues with my System Data being HUGE
I have done full on resets, including Dalvik cache and factory reset at recovery mode
It's still 4.38 GB when I look in Settings > Storage
Any ideas why this is happening or a way to eliminate it?
I don't see how Android can be taking up that much space, especially since this is a freshly wiped device.

I've looking into it some more and with DiskUsage and other explorer apps I see that there is 5.8GB of space accounted for, 3.4GB for Storage and 2.42GB for "System"
However, this is an 8GB device. I have gone through the whole thing on file explorers and it seems almost like it isn't even seeing the remaining 2.1GB I should have.
As if another Android system is there but unused or unrecognized.
I have the sprint v430 version if that makes any difference.

I'm having the same issue with the same version of the same tablet. It's driving me nuts.. constantly out of space, even with an sd card and having moved everything I can to it. Have not found a fix... or a root.

Same problem here.. seems like Sprint version LK430 is only 8GB and 4.5GB is taken by system data. Anybody got any luck clean up that system data ?

I see.. lots of us had that issue.. If I recall correctly what I did was to add a blank space before pasting the last command so as you can see from your cmd print you have
Code:
#sh ETC ETC
just try to add a space before pasting so tyo have
Code:
# sh ETC ETC ETC
it could take a while but it should work..
also if it doens't work after trying two or three times try using a new USB port or another pc, if available (don't ask why, I'm reporting what other users reported )

sorry but you said sprint variant but what G Pad? 7 8 or 10? I don't think there could be lots of difference but did you try googling if other owners of your exact tablet reported rooting issues?
Also I saw from your screenshot that you execute the reg command to detect the COM port where to send the sh command; maybe you could try to follow the guide exactly like wrote, so open the port.bat to detect the port, then close the new cmd window and then execute the sh command. I don't think ot could be an issue but maybe the reg command leave the port open and so the command fails.. really I'm just going random here
last but least, imo, you should try from scratch restarting the guide from the start, but I think you already do it..

yea. so.. i guess im going to stop here.. ive been rooting phones since the palm pre.. and while i may not be a coder, i can follow written instructions without issue. even king root doesnt work on this tablet.. [tab7 k430 variant, thought i mentioned that, or at least that it was the gtab sprint variant.. but i digress]
also, the link you posted, is simply an automated script to do exactly what is failing here. it may have worked in 2015 when the tablet was released and article was written.. but.. alas, its very very outdated.
thanks anyway

yep it is an automated script for this same process but you can't never tell.. can't say why but htis process does not work at the first time for lots of people, as you can read into the main thread.. for me it worked a lot of times both for my G Pad 7 Wifi (first year release) both for my G 2, sometimes it hanged but after trying a bunch of times it alwasy did the work..
so it's not a pointless method.. and it's from 2015 too, same as the automated zip, they never update it because it worked..
anyway after searching for your specific variant I find this specific thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/sprint-lg-g-pad-f7-0-lk430-t3180261
maybe you already read it but someone says kingroot + remove kigroot for supersu is the way, but you said it did not work for you..
last I was not telling you that you are not able to follow istructions, but I saw you did something different form the screenshot, instead of opening the port.bat file, just that.. if you don't think it worths to try as they say in the guide it's up to you, no prob

NookManager (updated for 1.2.2)

For my own use ( see https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-touch/general/how-to-force-reinstall-nook-simple-t3971367 for details ), I have put the needed updates into a new NookManager1.2.2 package (https://www.dropbox.com/s/kdlabh09txkx3k9/NookManager1.2.2.img?dl=0 ) so that it can be used for Nook Simple Touch 1.2.2 directly with updates described here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-touch/development/nst-g-updating-nookmanager-t3873048), thanks to nmyshkin (https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5562185).

Hello -- Not sure if anyone reads this anymore....
I'm trying to root a NST. I believe I've created the micro sd properly, and when I insert it and reboot, I see "Nookmanager Loading...". But then it just hangs there.
I've used a 32gb class 10 card. I have seen elsewhere that I should not use anything higher than class 6. Could this be the problem?

I have a 2gb, and then next larger is 32gb. I guess that means I could root, but then not have enough room for a backup. And I'm guessing making a backup is advisable? Is there anyway to get back to stock w/o having made a backup?

OK, I should have checked before my last response. The original thread specifies 512 mb as a minimum, room enough for NookManager and a backup.

I just tried with the 2gb, as googling suggested that many others had used that. And I'm still getting the same issue: I see "NookManager Loading...." in font of normal darkness right when I boot up, and then after hanging like that for 20 seconds, that text fades to the point where I can hardly see it, and nothing happens but that.

I guess it's possible that the image is faulty. It's not difficult to update the original NookManager card yourself. You can follow the link referenced in the OP which leads to my update instructions. That may work out better for you.

Thanks, I appreciate your helping me through this. The person who first told me about rooting NSTs warned me against using sd cards higher than class 6. This thread seems to hint at the same issue, esp. with class 10. I've been using class 10. It is hard to find anything lower, but I just ordered a class 4 from eBay and I guess I'll wait to see if that works any better.

Yes, I've seen the warnings about class 10, even with the Nook Tablet, but I've not encountered problems. As you say, other than a special order, its hard to come by anything that's not class 10. The NookManager card I've used for many years is a SanDisk class 10 Ultra. Never had a problem with it. YMMV.

Thanks very much again. I'll give the special order card a try when it arrives, and if it doesn't, I guess I'll try to update the original NookManager, as you first suggested.
Is it possible to downgrade a Nook's firmware to 1.2.1 in order to use the original NookManager? Or maybe that's just more trouble than it could possibly be worth.

There's no sense in "downgrading" to FW 1.2.1. While you're waiting for the card to arrive I'd sure give yourself a chance to make your own NookManager update. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Well you were right: I was able to successfully root the device with a class 10 sd card by changing the scripts and replacing the jars in the way you instruct here. Thank you!!
Unfortunately I'm not able to establish any successful internet connection with either wifi source I use in my home. Any thoughts on why that might be? (I was having connectivity issues before I rooted it, too.) -- Actually, the device does say I'm successfully connected, it's just that the browser doesn't work and I also cannot connect to the Amazon App Store for Android (which, as you know, is a default app option on the rooted device).
Maybe I should just say what I'm trying to achieve: I'd like to use the NST as an external e-ink screen. So all I really need is a way to work with txt files that can be saved to an sd card. It would be nice, too, if I could email them to myself or otherwise upload them to the cloud from the NST, but that's not essential.
Any tips on how I might achieve that limited functionality even if I can't fix these connectivity issues?
Thanks again!

I was able to install Jota via an apk on sd, so that's a start (for this n00b)!

Well you were right: I was able to successfully root the device with a class 10 sd card by changing the scripts and replacing the jars in the way you instruct here. Thank you!!
Unfortunately I'm not able to establish any successful internet connection with either wifi source I use in my home. Any thoughts on why that might be? (I was having connectivity issues before I rooted it, too.) -- Actually, the device does say I'm successfully connected, it's just that the browser doesn't work and I also cannot connect to the Amazon App Store for Android (which, as you know, is a default app option on the rooted device)

There is likely nothing wrong with your wifi. Reading a little further in the NookManager update thread you will see that the Amazon App Store has been dead for a long time. The same is true for the stock browser. You can uninstall both (for the stock browser that just entails deleting the apk file from /system/app and rebooting.) Also in that same post is a copy of Opera Mobile. That browser will work. You can side-load it if you need a browser.
As for email, either some version of k9 or the stock aosp email client will work. If you follow the link in my signature you will find a list of apps I run. One is the stock email with a link. You can search the forum for k9. I posted it somewhere for somebody long ago but don't remember exactly where.

Thanks so much. For various reasons, I decided to flash back to stock and then re-root. My NST then ended up with many more apps on it than it did the first time. And I also now see more of the Nook's rooted file structure, too. Not sure what was different.
My main task right now is updating the uImage and uRamdisk files with these here. My understanding is that this is required to get host mode working for an external keyboard. But I have no idea how to go about doing this. Any tips on that would be gratefully received!

These are the instructions I have used for changing kernals: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...issue-explanation-added.1563645/post-24168019
There is also a CWM kernal update file somewhere on the forum, but that would require preparing yet another card with CWM, etc. If you have ADB working, the earlier solution would be simplest.

dual boot OOS and another ROM

I have a OnePlus 6t 256 GB model and I e say only a few options for dual booting the phone. Has the been any new development on this? The last thing I read would've worked but the poster mentioned it was only for the 128gb model.

My other Oneplus broke so I will get a Oneplus 6t today or tomorrow and I will try to get a Dualboot working on that one.
I will get the 128 GB Version but it should detect and work with the 256 GB Version as well.
I will let you know when I have it working here and you can give it a try on yours for the 256 GB Version!

Yes I got the Oneplus 6t now.
Will have to test/check some other things first now but then I will give that a try.
EDIT: OK sorry that was not working as expected and I had to do MSM downloadtool to get my device up and running again. I will need to do some more adjustments to that dualboot flashing script.
Will continue with that during the weekend and hope that I figure it out and get it to work then!

@Newrooter22 can you send me the output of the following commands from a root Terminal from your phone? I want to check how these looks like for the 256GB Version of the phone.
SGDISK can be downloaded from here if you dont have it.
Code:
sgdisk /dev/block/sda --print
Code:
ls -al /dev/block/by-name/
Thank you!
EDIT: I can tell you that I am doing success here. Not all worked at the first try since I had to manually format the different partitions but now I have Userdata_a , Userdata_b, and a Commondata partion.
Just flashing ROMS on Slot A and slot B now to see if it works as expected. Then I will have to adjust a few things in the script so that the formatting etc will work automatically and it should detect both the 128 GB and the 256 GB devices and I guess it will work for the normal Oneplus 6 as well as for the 6T then.

Yes exactly. Thank you!
So that latest status is that I got it to work to have dualboot on my Oneplus 6t now.
I have to figure out some more things since some steps didnt work automatically and I had to manually do some steps in order to have all the partitions correct.
-Had to manually do some formatting steps in order to get all the User and Common data partitions to work and formatted.
-The commondata is not getting mounted yet from within the ROM (but it is visible and usable from TWRP)
-When having Android 11 on one slot and flashiong the dualboot file it is hanging when it tries to flash that slot with Android 11 so that slot stays without TWRP then.

It's sounding promising mate that's good, if you need anything else just ask and I'll get back to you as quick as I can. I'm not that good at the nitty gritty parts but can help with the simple stuff probably ?

No thanks that should work now to detect both the 128 GB and the 256 GB of our device.
And I hope I will have some ofd the issues fixed within the next days.
Then you could perhaps have a flashable Version for your phone by end of this week.

Hello!
Here I pushed an initial ALPHA release for a modified Dualboot TWRP for the Oneplus 6 series!!

Yes. Give me 1 or 2 more days than I will push an Updated Version 2 of that Dualboot with some improvments etc since now there is quite some manual stuff needed to get everything working and formatted as needed!

Just thought I'd give you an update, I attempted it with version 2 this morning and everything went great up until it starting hanging on the inactive slot. I followed the instructions but couldn't get it to work.
It did come up saying common data and internal storage for slot a but never saw slot b (phone still booted as well).
I was rushing a bit as I'm heading out soon but looking forward to trying it again tonight. Thanks a lot for the work mate and I'll let ya know when I get it up and running, cheers mate have a good day ??

HI!
Yes I see. I know what the issue is with the inactive slot hanging. I tries to search for a file which is not existing in that place and then the script is just looping there.
I actually did a small ugly fix for that which actually works but then there were some other things like root not working in the ROM so I have to fix it for real now!
What ROMS/Android Versions you want to install in the slots?

I was going to have OOS 10 on one slot and possibly Lineage OS on the other as it's one I'm familiar with. Is there other custom ROMs you would vouch for ?

OK good. I am running now Carbon ROM Android 10 on one slot and PixenOS Android 11 on the other.

Hi I manage to carry out the dual boot and everything's working great thanks :svetius
However there is one issue if you can help, when I try to download from play store or download something from chrome it says not enough storage. I had a look and the old download paths don't exist anymore it's all been grouped under android folder. I tried to take a screenshot to let you see however it came up saying it can't because of the lack of internal storage.
I'm using a,b,c layout. Running OOS 10.3.5 and carbon ROM.
Any advise would be great, personally I think it's to do with download paths mismatching after the repartitioning but you'll probs know more about it and a possible fix.
Thanks
(I chose 96gb per partition)
