I'm having trouble getting a game to work in aDosbox. My problem is the game won't recognise the ISO I've mounted as the game CD and thus will bring up an error saying no CD inserted. This is what I've tried so far;
C is mounted as /sdcard/ which is fine as I have transfered the files from my PC into that /sdcard/ directory and cd/lba2 brings up C:/LBA2 so it works.
I've tried mounting d as follows: Imgmount d /sdcard/lba2/lba2.iso -t iso and also Mount d /sdcard/lba2/ -t cdrom but neither get me past the no CD screen. However I've mounted the D as above I've been able to get into the install setup through D:/>Install however I can't install it but it shouldn't matter as all the files needed have been transfered from my PC anyway.
Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks.

Your CD may need a label, which the game is specifically looking for. Also. make sure CDROM is capitalized.
mount d /sdcard/lba2 -t CDROM -label [cd label name when inserted into drive]
Can you get DosBox to load at all? For me it seems to load but then just goes away. I don't get a DOS prompt window.

i searched and cant seem to find anything on my problem....i connect via mass storage mode , it detects the phone, but for some reason it doesnt let me access the files on the card....in other words ,i cant open them...any help ????
try opening the sd card with root access.
Open the terminal and type:
Code:
sudo nautilus /media/
Then just select one of your sd cards.
If this works to access them then you need to change the permissions to allow ubuntu to access them with read and write without root.
I am using it just fine on Ubuntu 10.4
I connect my phone and it is mounted automagically, and I can move the files from/to the phone.
Do you have se_linux installed?
It also works just fine for me. It may have to do with permissions on the folders when mounted. From a cli you may try running this command with the phone not connected:
sudo chown -R user:user /media
Just replace "user" with your username.
Then connect the phone and see what happens.
thanks, I'll give this a try, let you guys know tomorrow...
Gotta say it works on Ubuntu better then does on Windows XP. You may have some permissions fudged somewhere. Do as the guys above said and let us know.

Hi guys,
Whenever I type umount /efs in terminal emulator, it shows me the device is busy. I restarted and it keep showing me that error when I type such.
What should I do to enable to work?
Thanks in advance.
You can't when the phone is booted since a file is always in use by the system. It isn't in recovery though, so you can use that with adb to make a image of it which is the only reason I can think of to ever unmount that partition.
So, the MTP transfer on newer Android devices sucks and I hate not having an ETA/Speed display using adb push. Is there anyway to access the Android filesystem (doesn't need to be a root-owned directory; /mnt/sdcard would be fine) over USB? ie. open a FileOutputStream to a file/dir on my device from a java application on my pc?
I'm assuming the easiest answer is to set up a server for ftp/sftp/ssh on my device and connect that way but it would be nice just to access it as if it were mounted on my local PC as a local drive. Any ideas? Thanks!

Replace Id vendor, and id product with yours. My example is with maguro (gnex gsm)
Code:
sudo apt-get install mtp-tools mtpfs
sudo echo "
SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", ATTR{idVendor}==\"04e8\", ATTR{idProduct}==\"685c\", MODE=\"0666\"
" >> /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo service udev restart
sudo mkdir /media/GNex
sudo chmod a+rwx /media/GNex
Replace "lithid" with your user
Code:
sudo adduser lithid fuse
Make sure to uncomment or add
Code:
user_allow_other
to /etc/fuser.conf
You could add this to your bashrc profile to help with aliases
Code:
echo “alias go-go-gadget-gnex=\”mtpfs -o allow_other /media/GNex\”" >> ~/.bashrc
echo “alias gadget-gnex-stop=\”fusermount -u /media/GNex\”" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

From reading about mtp in windows, its my understanding that it "just works" is this not the case?
MTP in Windows is bull****. First, it requests that you verify any files that it thinks might not be displayable on your device so you need to verify every transfer with a "Yes" or "No" and then, for large files like video, it tends to time out pretty regularly and won't complete a transfer. It's a pain in the ass and adb push is too god damned slow :/
With my Xoom I used to just pop out the memory card, stick it in a card reader, and copy from there without issue. However, the Galaxy Nexus card is behind my battery and the Nexus 7 doesn't have a sd card at all :/

Only thing I can suggest is using a better operating system. With the new iteration of windows even game developers have started getting opengl gaming to linux. Which to my understanding is a huge reason people still use windows (of course other software like video editing), but if you are not using that type of stuff, get with linux. It works better and hackability is endless when trying to get something to work right.
Cheers

Yeah, I know. However, I do PC gaming and until Linux games don't require Wine (or work flawlessly in Wine) there's not much I can do about it and I refuse to dual boot; it's a pain in the ass.

Before yesterday when powering up my nook tablet I would get the "Installing factory Software...Do not Turn off your device" but immediately after I would get the error message "Please contact nook support." Now my nt just turns off after powering on and displaying the n screen. I have absolutely no clue what is wrong with my tablet or what steps to follow in order to fix it. I would greatly appreciate any input from the knowledgeable members here to point me in the right direction in terms of what procedures need to be followed. Thanks

Okay! Step one, you need to make a bootable CWM card.
Get yourself a microSD card, format it, and copy the files from HERE (download, unzip to your SD card).
Power your NT completely down, plug in the card, and then plug in the USB cable.
You should boot to a "cardboard" box screen.
After that, its going to boot into CWM recovery. Now you're not going to have alot of tools on the card at this point, but you may see some errors about stuff not being able to be mounted, etc.
Once you've got that done, post back here, and also include any errors you see!
From there, we can try to figure out exactly what's gone wrong, and the best approach to fix it.
--Also! Include the information about your NT, Is it rooted? What firmware or Rom? Other than powering up, what had you done (If anything) previously before the error!
^ Thanks for your quick reply!
As I wrote in my first post I'm a complete noob when it comes to rooting or hacking any devices. I have not once tried rooting my NT. What I did do though in order to have android as an option on my tablet is buy one of those Nook2Android cards. Now I think I may have accidentally pressed Format SD card or something like that when trying to do something else. That's all that I can think of that I may have done to cause the error.
I'm going to try and make the bootable CWM card right now. I'll make sure to report back!
lag0matic,
I now have a bootable CWM card.
So when I boot into CWM I get this error:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
What needs to be done now? Thanks

Erf. Okay, you've managed to bork your partitions.
Lets hope this goes easily!
First, lets get Parted (and some other tools) on your CWM recovery card.
Download this file here then unzip them to the root of your CWM Sd card.
Then you need to get ADB up and installed.
I used This forum to get the drivers, however, I couldnt get ADB to work right off the bat.
I'll copy/paste the steps I used and helped others get ADB runnng.
First, google this application: Usbdeview
Download the appropriate one for your system.
Unplug all USB mass storage devices (USB HDD's, Card readers, Memory sticks, etc)
Run USBDeview, delete anything Google, Android, Nook, Barnes and Noble, and Mass storage.
Reboot.
Open device manager
Run the "Runmefirst" or whatever its called from the ADB directory
Plug in your NT.
Go to device manager - look for a broken driver on the tablet, and tell it to install the drivers (you may have to use "have disk" and point to the usb driver directory)
This should install the driver for your NT.
You may also need to edit a file in the .android directory, at the root of your windows username folder.
in which case, drop to a command prompt and type
echo 0x2080 > %username%\.android\adb_usb.ini
after that, switch to the directory you unziped the ADB files to (I used C:\ntroot) and try to connect to your NT by typing "adb devices"
you _should_ see something like
1234567890 Recovery
Or
000000000 Recovery
Now, once you see one of the above messages
in the same command promt window enter the follwing commands
adb shell
mount /sdcard/
cd /sdcard/
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
you'll then get a prompt that looks like
(parted)
type "print"
and hopefully you'll see a few errors, and it will ask you to fix them, choose fix for both.
Once you get this far (Or, if you run into troubles) post again and i'll see what I can do for you!
(I have successfully un-bricked my NT, but I did it in a way I want to avoid fo you, as we want yours to run stock roms)

^ wow.... that is exactly what i got after the second time my unit barfed.
can you right click on the "omap4430" entry in the device manager and update the drivers by pointing to the folder that has the "nook drivers" folder in the adb + driver + fast zip file?
I imagine you will get a error telling you the drivers are not for this device.
Question to you, did you happen to try formatting the "internal sdcard" ?
@ Lag0matic. this is what killed my unit *dead* today. but it only occured *after* using the 2.3.7 memory managers (not rom-manager) to format the SDcard and the internal SDcard...

The good news is I have now installed the drivers! My NT under Android Phone appears as Android Composite ADB Interface in Device Manager.
Sadly,though, after getting this far it seems adb still does not recognize my device?
After imputing "adb devices" in cmd in the directory containing the adb files what I get is:
List of devices attached
I don't know if I have missed a step or did one incorrectly.

couple different things to try
#1
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
try this a couple times. my nook did not get hooked until i did this 2,3 times
#2 with the unit booted from cwm recovery *on the sd card*, reboot windows while leaving the device plugged in.
once back in windows try the adb devices command again.
failing that you are where i was. but at least you can get into cwm, mine ceased booting from sd entirely. heres a thought and a test. can you make the bootable-apla SD card and still use the nook via sd card only? or does it freeze up... ?

i have had that happen a few times and the problem was that my drivers were not installing correctly. sure it appeared as android adb composite device, but it most likely installed the wrong driver for the wrong device.
this is where things get a bit complicated because you need to look for the product and vendor id's for the nook tablet and modify them correspondingly in the android_winusb.inf.
also make sure you execute the runmefirst.bat
that creates a .android folder in your user folder. that was the step i kept missing when i had your problem with the drivers... ironic right? "runmefirst" and i run it last haha...
