I'm using nightly 123. The program seems to work just like it's suppose to, no errors, but after I run the program I use Show me my IMEI and it still doesn't show that I have an IMEI no. I'm using ADB wireless to update the EMEI. The program runs and and reboots my nook afterwards.
I don't know what else to do, and i can't post in the developer's thread yet so I thought I'd ask here. Hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thx
Well I still can't post in the right forum, does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thx
Sorry... didn't see this thread....
If you are using in-place... as it seem you are by the reboot... check to see if you have a /framework/framework.jar.bak present... you might also look at /rom and see if a file called imei is created there...
I'd say you have to have the framework.jar.bak file or you'd get the error that it had issues updating your device.
Since you are on CM7... go to phone app and dial *#06# and see what it tells you for IMEI.
Lastly... you can update the rom zip file... and flash the rom "-IMEI.zip" file.
Sorry... but this is the first report I've seen of it not working... and it may be the app you're using to show it... thus try the phone app thing.
Did not workforce me either. Using the dialer to check returns no number. I do have a framework.jar.Bak though. I'd really like this to work so that I could use the xda app with out it fcing. What file were u saying to flash DD? Thanks.

Always remember...
1. I have the framework.jar.bak file
2. In the /Rom folder there isn't an imei file, but there is one in the /rom/devconf folder
3. When I dial the command in the phone app it comes back with a box that says imei then an OK button. There is no number if thats what you wanted to know.
4. I'm not exactly sure on the steps to update the rom zip file.
Thanks alot for answering my post.
OK... and I did mean the bak file should be in /rom/devconf... sorry bout that... was responding from work and in a hurry....
To update the rom... just tell it no to in place... and then yes to updating a ROM zip file...
After it finishes patching the zip file... flash the ROM "-IMEI.zip" and any OC kernel you're using.
I'll look into what's going on... it could be the newer rom update is missing symlinks and busybox is not working correctly... researching the cause.

Will try it After work. I'm assuming it prompts u for the path to a zipped rom, and then creates one with imei added in the name. Then flash like n e other rom. Thanx.
Thx for the quick reply's. I updated the rom.zip file like you said. I think I'll wait to try it to see if you can figure out how to get the in-place update to work. I just updated the recent nightly and hate to start over again . If I have to I will though. Thx alot for your help.

If it finds zip files in current directory... it will attempt to locate the newest (by filename) and prompts you if it is the correct one... if you click no... it opens a windows open dialog to browse to the zip file you want to update... the "-IEMI.zip will be placed in the same folder as the rom.zip.

If you flash the update... you don't have to start over... it retains your data... just like any other update. You just have to make sure you install the OC kernel also... it is the same process as updating any nightly... the only difference is you run the IMEI generator on it prior to flashing it so you will have the patched framework.jar as soon as you flash it.
I just flashed the file your program created and I still have no imei no. when running the phone app or with the program Show me my Imie. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or not, but everything seemed to work as it was suppose to except getting an Imei no. Thx.

hmmmm.... trying to see what the issue could be.... if you flashed the "-IEMI.zip" file the patched framework.jar file should be the one it installed... so it SHOULD work just fine.
Try running fix permissions and try in-place again... it could be that your permissions are preventing /system/framework/framework.jar being overwritten.
You can open the "-IMEI.zip" file in a zip file manager (winzip, 7zip, winrar) and see if the /system/framework/framework.jar file has a different date than the rest of the files.
In the rom zip file your program made the date of the framework jar was modified to today's date. I ran rom manager and fix permissions and rebooted then ran in place from your program. I still don't get a number with either phone or show me my emei. I also don't get any errors while running your program.

This is just crazy... if the zip had the framework.jar file with today's date... it should be the one installed.. and it should have the imei in it...
Do me a favor... extract framework.jar from your zip file... email it to me at [email protected] so I can look into it and ensure the edit to the file went as planned.... or wait and I'll give the option to not delete the TelephonyManager.smali so you can look at the file and ensure the edit took place.
try this...
adb shell ls -l /system/framework
See what the date and time on that file is.
Ok i sent the framework.jar file, thx alot for your help.

NP... I got the file... for some reason the patch seems to not be in the file... this is the framework.jar file from the -IMEI.zip file... right?
When you run the program... does it give you a pop up with your S/N, MAC and IMEI ?
yes it is from the updated emei.zip rom file. Yes it does show the numbers when i run your program after it pulls the file from my nook

Someone who has done the whole DI01 update, please dump their system for me, or just the framework folder, apparently the one given to me had the stock android lockscreen patch applied to it lol.
Aside from that, the DI01 deodex works perfect, I opt_png'ed and zip_align'ed all the apk's, as well as the framework-res and twframework-res.
I will also need someone who knows how to sign updater-scripts to open the one attached, and just save it again properly and upload it for me. I am trying to get a flashable CW zip but the darn thing always gives me a status 6 error, which means the CW cannot read the updater script.
Sorry for the n00b question, but what benifit does deodexing provide? Also if there is another software update will I have to readd any .apk's to my /system folder?
Why not just flash your own system back to stock, then run the update, then dump /system? If you'd like an update script that doesn't update modem.bin, I already have one.
Assuming you're updating via CWM, why are you signing the zip? You don't need any signature, just zip the file up.
Is there anything involved in a dump besides just copying the files in /system?

Because I am too lazy to go through all that.
I don't need it signed per say. More like opened, edited, and saved properly. It is said it is best to edit the update script in s Linux based environment which I don't have, but that notepad should suffice, yet when I save it with my notepad, I get the error of cw not being able to read it properly.
I have a fresh phone that just got the D101 update. Just need directions on what if anything is involved beyond just getting the /system directory via adb.

Try a real editor, like bluefish or something.. Those scripts look like sh#! in notepad.
If no one has done it by tonight, just grab me on IRC and I'll do it under Linux for you.
Make sure you've got the file/directory structure right too.. You can't just throw a script in a zip file, but I'm sure you knew that. Myself and and a few others had the wrong directory structure at first, don't remember what error number that gave us though.. I think it just froze.
OK, how can I get it to you? I can't post links or (I think) files yet.

^^^^i do have a efsbackup.sh but how do install
Which recovery do you have? Try this modem too
http://www.multiupload.com/7ALWLNWYOH
the imei number is unknown
I made a IMEI backup a few months ago and saved it on computer, mines in a ZIP file.
It has the .sh and METAINF folder in it
so i'm guessing mine is flashable...
If anyone confirms for me that giving him the folder without .sh will work i'll do it, i just dont want him getting MY IMEI lol.
i have a efsbackup but it is a sh file. cant you put the METAINF and the efsbackup.sh then make it a flashable zip?

Yeah i think so.
1 sec i'll upload the METAINF thing without my .sh in it.
here ya go: http://www.multiupload.com/2ZVJMLTLLN
just put the .sh in the zip not inside metainf and i guess flash.
i'm not completely sure about this..... so you could wait for someone who knows more about this to reply.
EDIT:
i just checked what i uploaded
you should extract it first before just inserting .sh
I accidentally put the metainf in a extra folder.... you can solve that in seconds so yep.

Did you download the entire package ? it may happen if the download got interrupted mid way ......... in that case you'd have a zip file of a lesser size which can't be opened ....... try extracting the zip if you get an error you've got to redownload the package....
also ensure that the package is not read only (just incase)

how do i check the md5 checksum in multiupload?

Find an app like MD5Summer (Windoze) to check the MD5 sum once you've downloaded the package.
Also, you can use pretty much any archive program (7Zip, IZArc, WinRar) to test the archive once you've finished downloading it.
If it comes up with fail for *any* file, don't flash that package/download it again. You might have to try downloading it from a different PC/internet connection like I did a while back when I was having probs downloading roms from home without them being corrupt.

thanks y'all!!! been a great help... very nice community here
The MD5 checksum is usually listed next to the link where you download the archive wherever you're downloading it from. Honestly, it's not that important. The most important thing is you get the entire file. And if you "test" the archive in 7Zip/IZArc/WinRar & it comes up all files OK you should be fine.
I've never had a problem flashing a rom/kernel where the test in IZArc has indicated all files contained within are OK/the archive isn't corrupt.

Why not download the stock rom from here ? I wouldn't know about files from Samfirmware as I've never downloaded anything from there.
If you want to go back to stock, download the rom from Intratech's thread, flash it in Odin, done. Again, test the archive integrity in IZarc or similar to make sure it's OK (given you seemed to have had some problems downloading an archive that wasn't whole or corrupted).

Try the update to the global RUU. Found one on AndroidPolice but can't post link here yet. Just google androidpolice global ruu
Android zip files need 7zip if you want to look inside it.
Also check that you aren't renaming it as ph98img.zip.zjp because windows hides the file type by default.
So this was a two part issue! #1) post above was right about winzip not being able to handle the file.
Second issue was that I did not have the bootloader re-locked, which is required for this kind of update. I came from the tbolt which didnt require locking & unlocking.

Sorry, that was my main idea. Are you getting the same error code? Did you unzip and re-zip the rom? If so, you should use an archive manager like 7zip to move the update script into the zip without needing to unzip the whole thing, otherwise you'll break the signature on the rom and have to re-sign it.

Not all phones have adb access while in a bootloop. But to do so you would need adb set up on your computer, change directories to the adb folder (or if it's enabled globally, then where ever), and type:
adb logcat
You'll want to save it somewhere like:
http://pastebin.com/
and upload the link.
I am not skilled at reading logcats, so not sure if I can be of any more help after that.
If you don't have adb set up already, then just use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
