Here. There's also a web-based User Guide, version 3.1, dated 8/3.I'm going to finish this book I'm trying to read on the Kindle before I go playing around with anything, but I did go ahead and download the firmware.And now I'm off to read.

Nice! But I just got this thing reset and everything reinstalled and the way I like it... hopefully someone can make an alternate FW that doesn't wipe everything. Pretty please.

 

[geebekazoo]

Well JulieB, you get the brass ring!

downloading now I was going to flash mine back to stock to return for exchange tomorrow due to cracks tomorrow anyway.

Well, the first thing that I think you should check (presuming a successful flash and reboot) is whether ADB is turned on or off!

Just open the zip and delete userdate.img. That will do it.

Don't you need to delete a checksum check too??Edit: To clarify, you also need to modify the MD5 checksum file to remove the check for the userdata.img file

 

[clockworx]

Surprisingly, the script doesn't give a crap about the checksum (at least from the stuff I've done)

I've just about had it with the the 2.1 WiFi stuff, so I'm going to look at this f/w. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[clockworx]

Hmmm.....new filesizes for EVERYTHING:kernelramdiskrecoveryBrowserContactsDownloadProviderEmailGlobalSearchPD*(PDSearch is removed now??)If anyone is feeling cautious, you can wait while I look at ramdisk to ensure adbd is still there EDIT: False alarm on Ramdisk, the only change was the header...

 

[roebeet]

I want to see the kernel. I keep hoping that they went to Eclair but I'm probably just being optimistic.Flashing now.....

 

[clockworx]

hah, that's the first thing I check too. SDK still = 5 curious about the new kernel as well....and the new recovery.

 

[roebeet]

Yeah, I just checked. Somehow I'm not surprised.ADBD still works, btw.

 

[clockworx]

Oh, libpdfhost is changed. Let's HOPE this one is compatibly w/ Nook off the bat. THAT would be a nice change.

 

[nvrpayretail]

Phew. Thanks for checking that out. I didn't have the guts to check it out without knowing that it wouldn't lock me out!

 

[roebeet]

If they ever do that, I have a potential workaround already. I can't see that really happening though, because wouldn't that break direct drive access from your PC?

 

[clockworx]

[quote name='roebeet;36568]Yeah' date=' I just checked. Somehow I'm not surprised.ADBD still works, btw.[/QUOTE'] Yeah, ramdisk.img was different, the files were exactly the same. They....tweaked the header?[quote name='roebeet;36573]If they ever do that' date=' I have a potential workaround already. I can't see that really happening though, because wouldn't that break direct drive access from your PC?[/QUOTE'] No, that's separate. You can disable adb from any android device and USB mounting still works the same as it did before.

FWIW, my initial experience is that wifi is MUCH better. Basically instant connection after reboot!WOOHOO

 

[roebeet]

More quick notes: kb hack works, launcher pro works, notification bar trick works, kernel has a compile date of 8/4 (still 2.6.29). CPU frequency still at 800Mhz max, Linpack ~3.1 with no DVM alterations. WiFi is next....

 

[gottahavit]

Well just getting going but right off the bat seems as responsive as my previous hacked version. Good sign. Now to root and all the other fun stuff
