Hi to everyone,
I'd like to buy this device, now it's street priced at 500 euro but before I do that, I would like know if there's any way to get it into the Android platform.
As far as I read nobody speaked about that and for that I opened this thread.
What do you know about?
Cheers,
If you are thinking of trying Android like what have been tried on other devices (i.e. via SD card loading) there lies the first essential problem. There is no SD card on mobile side. Crack this and you probably can start on the Android issue.

Hi. I use a translator from Russian into English so that not worry.
I did so.
Download the Android x86 with http://android-x86.googlecode.com/files/eeepc-20090820.iso.
Install an image through unetbootion on USB stick. Start. Start the installation on the hard disk. Formatted for ext2. Rebooted. Yes, with the appearance of the boot to choose the first row, press the "e" (for her editing) and another "e". Append the following line to vga = 788. Press Enter. Then click "b" to boot. When you boot, you will need to press the button and select the video mode, I chose 8. And voila.
Camera works. Better than eeepc900. (It also tried to) the rest did not try it, they say you can start the WIFI, but I'm not good at Linux.
Maybe someone will try harder to establish all the drivers?
nice finding! but everyone is still wanting to replace windows mobile with android or other linux.

This seems to be an installation on the PC side of the Shift. I think the poster knows how to install full linux on the PC side. He is interested in Android on the snapvue side.

It would be great. I saw somewhere on the internet post installation Androida place for WM. If turn out otpishus. While hardly on the side of wm memory only 50 mb (if I'm not mistaken) and for Androida need more.
Yep and we don`t even have bootable kernel yet, unless Neutron83 has founded out something, as he was working with this. There is another topic about this..
Hello !
I am feeling really down today after been trying to get my phone working again.
There is a huge problem currently, I am really annoyed that it doesn't work at all.
First thing, my phone won't start after update it just boot loops and never seem to end it.
First thing I noticed /boot, /cache /system and most things are gone, I can load up recovery but nothing more. I have no idea what happened but the whole image folder was wiped and I had to myself put in the CWM recovery.
I can't do an upgrade "again" as it will be stuck @ the unpacking part without starting it at all.
I been trying with 2.3 V2 and with B133(My stock rom I got).
If anyone has a solution that can solve this problem please help out if you could. Also if you are about to tell me get this and that, please most cases I haven't seen any of the Firmware roms in @modaco wiki links work. Means I can't download them, so if you happen to have spare copy please upload it and link it to me. I have been googling and looking through this section twice, nothing really worked out.
Thanks in advance !
If you didn't erase the .cust_backup partition which contain the image folder with all system' s .img files, then maybe it' s damaged. I had some problems with this partition before and when I checked it with windows check disk it repairs it and I had no problems from then. So, try this, and if you still haven' t any file on image folder, you can find the original folder on X5' s forums. Is definately here, but I don't remember where is the link and I don't gonna search it for you. If you cannot find it, you can allways reflash the original rom. If you fix the partition(if this is the problem), I don't think that you'll have problems with update any more.

Hello, thanks for the reply.
I have no idea about this .cust_backup partition and how I am supposedly to access it via windows. Also the thing you said about fixing partition within Windows, the check disk thing. I am not sure about that part either as I can load CWM and it can read the partitions but they are empty. Also there is nothing in this forums that contains original things, only way for me to fix this if someone have extra copy and can guide me on how and where to place the all needed files. I am pretty sure it's only things that are missing and I can't get a grip out of this.
So to sum up what my problem is.
I did an upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3 with official firmware, it worked out normally but after a reboot my phone became stuck in an endless loop, I can't do anything and it will not I repeat it will not allow me to "re flash" any firmware I tried so far, the 2.3 V2 and B133.
I am begging someone in this forum section, please if you have the knowledge about this problem care to help?
I can't get a refund out the phone warrenty is off and I do not have that much spare money.
Thanks in advance !
If you can get to recovery, wipe cache and data. It should be possible in stock recovery.
The cust partition has all the images for bootloader, recovery etc. You can get to it with the pink screen. Reformatting and then reinserting the images and files could help, but try that when nothing else works.
I can't give you good help via phone, but try wiping data first. Also, try if you can use some other sd card.

The most common things I have already done, but do enlighten me what this "custom" parition is. Because in windows I do not see such partition I see a removable partition which I have now added a folder called image with these containing files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370960
EDIT ** Also regarding to first person who said about Windows partition manager. The thing is I see a lot of partitions and there is no labeling for them, might be because they are ext2/3 or even something else? In anycase I can't do so much I just find it really odd I have many duplicates and I am guessing that must be errors... Because I am seeing the main recovery partition which has no label too... its at 240 MB where 135MB is used. Lastly there is my internal SD card empty and healthy still I can't reach it within Windows if I do not mount it...And can't now without going into the android OS. I Have loads of free space "partitions I don't understand why they are there".
**
Thanks for helping out, it feels not good to have a half dead phone, it's still not solved :'-(
The .cust_backup is the mount point on android for this removable partition with image folder. In windows haven' t this name. I didn't mean to use the windows partition manager, just to use windows explorer, right click on the partition and choose properties, then tools and then check disk. Of course you can use partition manager too, but because as you found there are all no labeled other partitions there and is a bit confused.
As you mentioned, you found the original image folder and you replaced the files. Did you tried to do the update again after that?
Also you can see and the internal sd partiton, but you need linux system. This partition is not fat32, so windows cannot see it.

And I can't run the upgrade firmware, it gets stuck at first stage which is to unpack the the update.app thing.
It just stays like that not blinking and frozen.
Did you tried now that you have the original files, to go to recovery mode and wipe data etc?
Also when you try to do the upgrade do you have the device connected with the cable?
I had this problem once and I think that when I disconnected the cable(or maybe wasn' t connected and I connected it, I don't remember well), the proccess bar starts to moving after a while and the upgrade completed successfully.

You are not understanding me :-(, I have wiped already millions of times in millions of different ways just to get it work. And no, I don't have the device connrected when I upgrade, it won't work properly then, I have tried to wait for the progress bar to "start" move it won't happen the battery will die, and nothing happened.
I can't go in with normal Recovery mode, can only go in with CWM, the normal recovery mode is really small, I mean only 3mb, while the froyo version is 5mb. Now I am asking if you have the time to upload the image files from 2.3 V2, the ones in forums are for V1. Which I don't know might conflict.
Thanks again for trying to help me out, this is really frustrating to get it to work.
**EDIT**
I worked it out !
I think I understood what you meant, I did as you told I started first with pluggin in the charger forced it to upgrade and now it's upgrading, thank you so much dancer_69. I was going to go tomorrow to buy a new 2nd hand smartphone. But now I can save my money for other things !
**EDIT of EDIT **
I seem to have downgraded to B133, I will try now with B158 2.3 V2 again and hopefully it will work now.
Yes, wasn't clear because I don' t remember what I've done and solve it. But I think that I did it like you discribed too.
Anyway I'm glad that was helpful(kind of)..
And don' t give up so soon with smartphone' s bricks, I've faced brick kind of problems many times and if the device it' s not completely dead, there is something you can do. Maybe need more search or many tries(sometimes the same things) but at the end(and of course If there isn't a hardware problem) device can unbrick.
Hi all. Looking for a tool - a program which will restore the system in my Archos 70 IT. Urukdroid I installed 1.6 and I want to return to the original rom regaining a place in the internal memory because even after uninstalling Urukdroid not release the memory space that it occupied. I am interested in a tool that can restore the system when the tablet is not included. Can anyone help me. Thank you in advance.
Forgive my poor English.
1. download latest firmware from archos.com
2. reboot into recovery (powen on + hold down "vol down")
3. recovery -> repair/format -> reformat device (sry not really sure how the menus are called exactly) THIS WILL DELETE ALL THE DATA ON YOUR DEVICE AND RECREATE PARTITIONS
4. u will be asked for the previously downloaded firmware file (upload via usb connection and w8 for flash)
5. you are done - your device will we ini original state wiht latest firmware
The only sentence I don't get is:
I am interested in a tool that can restore the system when the tablet is not included
what do u mean by?
But I think u should be fine with the method described above. Since all partitions will recreated and formated u got the original stock stettings after.
FrEcP Thank you for your response. To return to the way I read the original system. Is there a program like that can save RKAnoid archos 7 for my 70IT?
wow - it's really hard to understand you
Maybe write in in your own language and try using google translate after.
I know google is not perfect either - but it's understandable most time.
Do u search for some backup program to save your data and apps before u wipe your system? Then u may try something like TitaniumBackup
If u meant RKAndroid wich is described here:
This software is for the Archos7 (home tablet) wich was a gen6 device as far as I know. The gen8 (Archos 70IT) doesn't need it for flashing the firmware.
Are u sure u have a gen8 device or is it the old gen6 archos7?
PS: next time please dont post in development section of this forum. And open those threads in "app" or "general" secion
Hi, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could upload the recovery parition (preferably English) to somewhere and provide a link; I bought my shift second hand and had Windows Developer Preview with no Recovery Partiton and I would be very thankful if someone could upload it.

I have an English Vista recovery on my Shift, but I don't know how I could copy it off, you could give me some information about it, I will take a look at it anyways tomorrow or so. If you could profide usefull information I could do it faster.
And.. Why do you want to recover the whole windows? I have done it once and I removed it directly and installed windows 7 on it. Its way faster, Everything works. And just a bit snappier and populair then Vista(alot of people were amazed by my shift, but when I said Vista was on, they were not amused xD).

I found out how I can dump the recovery, but there is not really a possibility for me to store the whole recovery, maybe I could split it and upload it to mediafire.
I have tried to follow the instructions, which was actually very simple, but when I enter the cmd line, press enter it doesn't return a reply or something with writing or anything, it just enters and the white dot stays there, I don't know if this is normal =/
This Part
This part? "dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/disk/shift-vista-recovery.bin bs=16384 skip=2244480" if so leave it for about 45 minutes if it hasn't finished by then and returned to prompt then somethings wrong :/ but check if the file is there.
Oh and make sure you're copying the correct parition.
Hi lovely people,
Ive managed to mess up my glowlight - Ive managed to have a look at the partition table using noogie and the rom partition is showing as unallocated. I've tried data recovery to no avail. I dont suppose anyone has a complete image of a uk nook simple touch glowlight by any chance, or even just a copy of the rom partition that I can copy back into place using minitool partition wizard?
Thanks for reading folks

Will do. Just having trouble now creating a fat32 partition.

If it was logical, I'd totally give you a full image, but the problem is that each device has its own serial number - if I give you an image of my device, then your device will have mine's serial number, which won't work out so well!
I'd love to keep trying to help you, though - Nook Touch related things are really my forte.
Let's start at the beginning - in your first post, you said that "you managed to mess up your GlowLight". What did you do to mess it up?
Is/was your Nook rooted?
Will your device boot and be used properly, but the GlowLight itself just doesn't work?

Hi again, sorry for not getting back sooner - that damned thing called life always gets in the way
Yeah, it was rooted. I had used cwm and had adw running as a front end and had installed the screen lock bypass, but the bypass didnt work out so well - quite a bit of battery drain - even when left on a table(so no accidental waking up) - i tried to return it to stock - cant remember what i did tho - and now it just starts with the read forever screen and gets no further - it also seems that it doesnt power off and stays on till the battery is flattened. Trying to boot from the sd card using either nook manager or noogie works just fine tho.
I can see the partitions though minitool partition wizard and the Rom partition is "unallocated" there is also an unallocated space of 56mb at the end of the partitions.
I have tried recreating a fat32 rom partition and then copying the rom backup info from the factory partition, but no joy. For some reason, no partition software I have could create a fat32 partition directly on the nook, so I had to create one on the pc and then copy it over :-/
Thanks for the continued help btw

Are you interested in getting back the B&N functions? Because if not, then what I can do is back up my rooted GlowLight, factory wipe it back to 1.1.5, bypass Oobe (B&N registration), update to 1.2.1, and then make an image of that for you.
Beware, though, you won't be able to use any of the B&N functions if you want me to do that, because your device will have mine's serial number. But don't worry, it won't share anything except for that, so your device will be plenty usable.

Yeah, i tried factory reset with nookmanager, but when I pressed the button to choose factory reset, it came up with the screen that showed the start of progress, but nothing else happened - even after several hours.
by b&n function i assume you mean the shop etc - cant say I'm worried about that bit, but if It will be back to stock, with just the stock software on, that would be cool. )
How would I transfer the complete image? I presume fire up noogie and partition wizard, wipe(err backup) all the partitions on my nook and then copy your partitions over?

It will be back to stock, but you won't be able to register with B&N and/or buy any books from them. The Social features also will not work.
If you're interested, I'll make that image for you. See the "back up you Nook" link in my signature for a guide on making and restoring Noogie images.

EDIT - See OverByter's post below, it has shown me that this wouldn't work out.
Try his method. I'll only give you an image of my device as a last resort.
Your image will also have your mac address besides the serial number, don't think that this is the way to go, basically he'll have an unworkable clone of your device. Why doesn't he use cwm to wipe the partition and then either adb push the rom or use a flashable image?

Okay, I may actually have solved your problem! Try the following steps - it's called the "eight interrupted boot" method.
1. I am expecting your Nook is still stuck at the "Read Forever" screen. If it's not, go ahead and turn your Nook all the way off.
2. Now, press the power button to take it to the "Read Forever" screen.
3. After it's there, press and hold the power button again to make the screen flash black and go back to the "Read Forever" screen.
