Installing files - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know how to use an sd to install apks but for some reason my sd stopped working yesterday. I was wondering if anybody knows how to install files without the sd card. Mainly because I just got my gogle music invite and id love to install it on my phone but it does not show up in the market. I am using gingerdecks rom. And for my computer os im running ubuntu 10,04. Any help would be great

You could try android injector on a computer or u can push apks using adb.

Try what the others Suggested! But if I were you I'd also try Copying Everything from my Sdcard to a desktop with either a Micro SD Adaptor, then Delete your whole Sdcard and try Starting Fresh or else just Invest in a New Sdcard!

SD Card unreadable after root

I've rooted my phone and used many Cyanogen roms.. but ever since the last one (4.1.11.1) I can not read my SD card when I mount it to my PC. It says it needs formatting when it really doesn't as I'm using the phone as normal, saving pics.. backups etc.
Can anyone help me with this as there is no way I can get Cyanogen's latest mod without access to my SD Card.
Thanks!
Have you tried to access it in Ubuntu?
Also can you mount it in adb and push an update to the card?
I haven't tried either of those but I will and get back to you..
Thanks!

Well its true you need to have seperate files on your sd for most navigation software.
make sure that you have copy the entire folder if igo (contents) to your sdcard root.
the REMOVE the usb cable from hero. then install the apk.
working just fine...
go XXXX and download it.
working for sure... (registration required to see the cocntants of this thread)

SD card Directory?
Hey guys, having similar issues.
I have the conent and the apk in a package. Copied content to DS Card, Installed APK, but when loading the prog it is asking me for SD card containing maps.
I have had similar issues with Co-Pilot 8 but thats sorted, (my content had to be in a specific folder for the prog to pick it up)
What is the Directory u guys that having it working got?
I have these folders in my conents:
1.License
2.Scheme
3.Reso for 800x480
4.Content
Do these all go directly onto SD or something like SD>IGO.
I have tried several variations of a folder but i keep getting the damn content not found notification!
Just like Tesco, Every little helps and all input bar abuse is appreciated!

[Q] Honeycomb Root, GApps, Market, etc

Alright, so I'm 100% brand new to the Nook. Infact, I don't even have it yet, but I'm buying it tomorrow (3/3)
If I'm going to use honeycomb on it, do I just simply pop in the SD card and it's ready to go?
Do I need to root it before hand or is it already rooted?
How do I get GApps and Market running?
I honestly looked around a bit but I'm terribly confused. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Also, I can't even seem to get the IMG burned onto my microSD. Win32 Disk Imager keeps spitting back that the SD card doesn't have enough space, but it's an 8GB card with nothing on it, so it has plenty.
1) No, you don't have to root first - just pop in the uSD card and you are good to go.
2) To install Market and GApps you will have to install ADB on your primary machine first (which can be a PITA). There is all sorts of help around to do that. I downloaded a script (search for HoneyGapps.v2 here) that did the install for me in one step.
3) From what I understand the image is too large for Win32 Disk Imager. I used WinImage and it worked fine.
BTW - I am loving HC - I've adopted it completely. My major problem is that many apps are not showing up in the Market, even though they were installed and ran fine on my rooted 2.1 system. I think it is because the Market does not recognize the device name under HC 0.4.
How do I use WinImage to do that?
Sorry, but that program just confuses me, lol
First you use winImage and click disk then restore image. Make sure you have all files selted when looking for the file to restore. Are you going to install it to internal or on a USB card ?
Trying from SD card first unless it's too slow. If I want to install on internal, how do I backup my original Nook data?
Also, I figured out WinImage, I'm burning it now. I used another program, but that didn't do anything when I powered on the Nook. I shouldn't have to do -anything- before booting from the SD, right? The Nook is brand new, I popped in the SD card and it didn't work. We'll see what happens after WinImage burns it though
The SD version is kinda slow and if you look there is a Honeycomb EEMC V4 install that has the google apps and other goodies Installed. It has all you need already put in it. In the post you will find all the links and info needed to install. You just mount your nook like normal to your computer and copie the files from internal memory.
here is the Link use the version 2 dated 2-21

Haha, I had just started reading that a second ago actually. It lists a lot of problems. Are those problems present in the SD card version as well? Also, is Froyo more stable?
I have been running version 2 for a lil while and it runs smooth. I haven't had any real issues from it. I put it on my wife's nook also. It runs smooth and every app I have installed runs with no issues.
OK, I'm gonna try the script for GApps in a second. Where can I find the drivers for the Nook? I already have ADB installed, I've rooted 3 phones before this, so I got ADB usage down...
EDIT: Also, where can I find info on partitioning the SD card so I can still use it?
Honeycomb is built for tablets and sems more fluid. All are really development builds. We will all be waiting on the devs and google for the actual honeycomb
Which are you going to do the Sd or Internal ? If you load the version 2 internal it already has the Google apps included.
I haven't found a way to backup my original Nook data before installing it on internal. SD card works just fine, as long as I can find a way to partition it so I can still use it as an SD card. Either way, I still need the ADB drivers and the one thread I found so far has a broken link. Boo!
If you install it to internal you can then reformat the sd card and use it as normal.
OK, but then how do I back up the current internal memory and I still need a link to the ADB drivers in case I want to run off SD.
Use my USB mass storage utility (see dev). Make .tar files of internal data and system content.
To restore extract content back onto data and system.
Of course, if you get adb working, make dd images of partitions.. more conventionnal backup than above..

Alternatively, can't I just have someone send me their files?
Bump? Anyone?
EDIT: Also, how do I get ADB working if I do the internal HC?

All your questions in this thread can be answered by doing a little work searching around... you shouldn't expect a personal tutor...
If you put a little of your own effort, you will learn much more than following someone's instructions.
Thanks man, that was helpful. I definitely didn't use the search tool before.

[Q] Nookie Froyo on SD Card is GREAT! Some Q's

Hi all! I have been lurking for about 2 weeks and am now a member. 1st post
My unrooted NC is running great with Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 via SD card. I used a Sandisk 8GB (Class 2 ) from an old Blackberry Storm. Being a Class 2, I had my doubts on the SD card but good ol' Sandisk came through. Everything (YouTube/Market/Mail/Facebook/Pandora/Games/etc) is working fine and smoothly for the past 2 days. I hope it stays that way.
Here are my questions:
1). Is there a File Manager already pre-installed with the NF ROM? If not, which one should I get from Market?
2). I have SetCPU (apk file) on my Win7 laptop hard drive. What is the easiest way to install this since I am booting NF ROM via SD card already?
Thanks in advance
1) Not sure, but i've read Root Explorer or Astro File Manager
2) I used ADB. you can get that from the android sdk. Its fairly simple.

Will ADB work if I am not rooted & my ROM is in the SD card? Is it possible to access the apk via email in NC and then save?
Or maybe via SD card reader on laptop? Where do I drop the file?
The ROM you are running, same as I am running, comes with Astro file manager. The easiest way to transfer files is to get a free Dropbox account, if you would like you can use my referral.

That's the same way I did it. Loaded Froyo from SD, pushed file via ADB. Gotta search for the command lines though.

Thanks! I will check it out tonight when I get home. So from Dropbox, where do I put the apk file on the SD card?

Cool! I was just trying to avoid ADB, if I could I'll look for the commands. Post back here if you find them too.

Once you install the dropbox app on your PC and phone you just drop the apk into your PC dropbox and then download it, using dropbox on your phone. Go to the dropbox folder on your SD using Astro and just tap on the apk and viola it is installed. Dropbox is basically cloud storage that you can sync to multiple devices.

Suh-weet I know what Dropbox is (on my iPad), but I didn't know it was *that* easy to install apk files
Hmmm, there's no Astro in my copy of NF 0.6.8.

[Q] Formatted sdcard

Hello friends! Today I did something really dumb on my i9000. I was about to flash a new rom and formatted the sd card.. Of course the files of the rom i was about to flash are gone and now when i try to mount usb storage to transfer the files again my computer doesn't recognize the phone.
The drivers were working before all this happened so i don't know how to fix this. I'm running devil touch recovery v6.0.2.7.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks for your help.
2 things you can do one is to use a program called recuva by pirifrom (Google it and Google a how to) to get the data back off the SD card assumming u have not over written it and u have a sdcard to USB converter.
The other is to uninstall the drivers from PC and install them from fresh there should be guilds here someware
