START WITH THE WIKI Introduction to the Pandigital Novel

Please don't make me start deleting, moving, and combining threads by asking whatever comes to mind. There's been a lot of recent development on this device, and a LOT of your questions will have been asked already here. Take 10 minutes and look around before posting a noob question. We love our noobs, but we love them more when they help unnoobing themselves...This has become an epidemic problem here, so now we're going to have to add teeth: look before you ask. If you really think you're the first person to ask about changing the internal micro sd card, or to have problems flashing the device, that means you didn't look, and I am going to issue you an infraction. I won't enjoy it, but it's for the good of the community.

##you'll see a response in the CommandPrompt of "68 KB/s (0 bytes in 1092.000s"##Keep Command Prompt open.
6. Open Notepad++
7. Change Line 33 (PSMode=) to PSMode=CAM
8. Save file
9. Go back to Command Prompt
10. Type:Above is part of the directions for "Fixing Wifi",

I dont know what or how to change the lines it says, how do I do that, this is regards to procedures 6 thru 8, I open Note++ and i dont know how to transfer the Command lines to it, when I do open Notepad++ there is nothing there no line 33 or PSMode, nothing. Please help. Thanks.

You need to open the RT2870STA.dat file you should have pulled from your Pandigital Novel with earlier commands. From within the application you just need to find the line indicated and change the text as indicated. Is that clearer?--bornagainpenguin

No not clear I have never pulled such .dat file, is the procedure in this particular thread? If not what is the title of the thread and I will look it up. Thanks for the help.

That is where I got the instructions. But again I get lost during 6 thru 8, When i run the codes it runs but when it says to open Notepad++ and Change Line 33 (PSMode=) to PSMode=CAM, I dont know what this is, I open Notepad but there is nothing there, it does not say to download "/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat" I dont know what that is how does the command prompt and Notepad++ work together. I feel like there is a missing part of the instructions.

Thanks for pointing me to the right areas but I have been there and like I said it does not explain how 6-8 in the instructions work. Thanks for any clarifications Im very annoyed with the wifi not coming back on after sleep, I have to reboot all the time.

bornagainpenguin;39497]Okay said:
PSMode=Max_PSP[/code]and you want to change this so that line reads:

Code:

PSMode=CAM

Then save the file to the same directory it was pushed to using adb. Then you're back to #9 in the instructions, I think you said you know where to go from there on in?Hope this helps...--bornagainpenguin

WOW that was amazing bornagainpenquin this is exactly what I was hoping to get, this may have been common sense for many but for me its a whole missing set of instructions perhaps it could be added to the original on page one to help out "stoob" (stupid noob) like myself. I was using Hack-the-Novel1.zip to get it going and it worked I double checked for the RT2870STA.dat file and it was there in the "Hack" folder with my ADB. Thank you so much for your patience and not giving up!!!!!!!!!!!!!
