Question by highdensityrhythm: iPad 1 jailbreak, please help?
Hi. Ok so I have had a few failed jailbreak attempts. My iPads ios is 4.2.1 so I downloaded that firmware. Then I downloaded redsnow 09rc9 or something like that. I updated iTunes and let my iPad sync. The first time I did it I thought it would work cuz it went to a black screen. Now it says firmware not recognized.

Could someone please give me the best possible way to do this and hopefully some working links for all the downloads. Thank you very much!

Question by Tom C: Samsung X640 Data Cable – PLEASE HELP!?
Hi,

I am really angry. I was foolish and have bought a £5 data cable for my X640. I follow the instructions to the end and it says it installs. Afterwards, it says the software requires you to restart your computer for it to work. I do this and when i open up Device Manager, there is a little yellow exclamation mark next to COM 8! I open up properties and it says

‘This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)’

I cant see how this works. It said it was installed and it used the drivers that came with the cable! I carry on and install EasyStudio PIMS & File Manager and i select COM 8 and it does not work. The i chose every number port and number sequence. It STILL stays offline. I am really losing myself here! Can anyone please enlighten my and tell me why this is happening. I have tried every port and uninstalled and reinstalled and the same thing happpens

Please help,
Tom.
but i bought the cable off ebay and the seller just says send it back

Answer by crazzeecathy
Go to the website of the product & search for updates or see if there’s any conflicting issues that the cable has with anything in your pc.You might want to get the original drivers from the website,too & see if re-installing the drivers that way helps.

Question by N: Need help with making bootable XP USB flash drive?
I downloaded an iso of Windows XP Professional from MSDN and would like to put it on, and install from, a USB flash drive.

I have been fiddling with this for a few days now and have finally caved, I need some assistance.

I have used several online “guides” so far and haven’t been successful.

The most recent guide ( http://dotnetwizard.net/hacks/how-to-bootinstall-vista-from-a-usb-flash-drive/ ) had the following instructions, and I followed them to the tee unless noted;

1. Plug the USB drive in

2. Open a command prompt window with administrator privileges.

3. Type diskpart and press enter

4. Now type list disk and press enter

5. In the command prompt window type select disk ### . (### is the number of the disk and in the above example it is 2, so it becomes select disk 2)

6. Type clean and press enter (make sure you got the correct disk in step 5 before doing this)

7. Type create partition primary and press enter

8. Type select partition 1 and press enter

9. Type active and press enter

10. To format the drive type format fs=fat32 and press enter (this will take some time)
NOTE: FOR STEP 10 I used “format fs=ntfs” to format it in ntfs instead of fat32.

11. Type assign and press enter. This will assign a drive letter to the usb, remember the letter as it will be needed later. In this example the assigned letter is L

12. Now type exit and press enter to exit diskpart.

For the following part I mounted my XP ISO using Daemon Tools Lite.

13. Insert your Vista DVD to the DVD ROM and remember it drive letterl. Mine is I

14. Open a command prompt (or if you didn’t close the one opened earlier use that) and type I:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 L: (Replace I: with your Vista installation disk drive letter and L: with the drive letter of your USB flash drive)

[Vista DVD ROM]:\BOOT\BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 [USB FLASH DRIVE]:

NOTE: Here’s where it got sort of tricky for me. My ISO doesn’t have a folder named “boot” on it. So, being the resourceful fella that I am, I went and found bootsect.exe online. I used the same syntax as above and got the same results (Bootcode was successfully updated on….) as displayed in the screenshot on the guide’s site.

15. Close the command prompt window.

16. Go to your Vista installation disk select all files and copy them to the USB flash drive

NOTE: For step 16 instead of just copying/pasting the files I went to commant prompt and performed the following command; xcopy f:\*.* h: /eqf

F was my virtual CD and H was my USB.

Now, this should yield a bootable USB drive with my XP installation files on it, right? Haha.

Here’s the SUPER wacky part that completely blows my mind. Honestly, NO idea what’s causing this.

Alright so, I take this nice new bootable USB and pop it into my Vmware and tell the vmware bios to boot from usb and yada yada, guess what? It works.

So I’m all joyous and I safely remove my USB and plop it into my test rig. I set the bios to load from the usb and give it a second to load. Guess what? It errors out. The exact message is: BOOTMGR is missing (next line) Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.

So at this point I’m thinking, “Well, perhaps that bootsect.exe I ran is like system specific. Maybe it will work on the machine I made it on.” I remove the USB from my test rig and plug it back in the original machine and restart it. I tell the bios to boot from USB first and give it a second to load. I get an error message identical to the one before (BOOTMGR is missing..),

So, that’s where I am. If anyone could help me here, through e-mail, or perhaps even direct me to a technical forum better suited for this type of problem I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks,
Nick
Thanks Bill I’ll definitely check that out and let you know how it works.
Used Linux Live USB Creator per Bill’s suggestion. When USB drive is inserted the error “Remove Disks or other media. Press any key to restart” is displayed. I’ll lurk the Lili forums and ask for help if need be.

Thanks, Bill
Trying out WinToFlash now, Bill. Thanks again!

Question by dglad4: HELP ME!!! IN NEED OF INSTALLING PROGRAM ON LIVE CD!!?
OK, here’s the story.

I am a PC know-it-all and I know heaps about PC hardware and I know Windows like the back of my hand. But when it comes to talking Macintosh or Linux and all the rest I am completely useless.

So what I want to do is on our school computers (yes I am 15 and go to high school) get Ubuntu (8.10) running live from CD/DVD doesn’t matter and have VMware Workstation 6.5.0 for Linux installed onto the live so my friends and I can run Windows virtual machines and get past all the shitty restrictions their Windows installation have.

But I’m stuck…
I am so useless I cannot even work out how to install anything on Ubuntu. Can anyone PLEASE give me REALLY simple baby steps on how to make a live CD/DVD (I expect I will have to use DVD) that has VMware Workstation installed on it.

ALL help is appreciated.

Thankyou very much,
dglad4

I have been working on the same thing for my high school. I have figured it out. I was going to use virtual box but it requires installation so then one day I accidentally came across this

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pendrivelinux.com%2Fportable-qemu-persistent-ubuntu-linux%2F&ei=5n5wSpLIK4f-M8uE4eYI&rct=j&q=qemu+portable&usg=AFQjCNGAPkloEzeuzWk-iXd9iMeDFiHg0g

it is called qemu. I would recommend installing a small linux distro on it.
But anyway you can pick up the .iso of the OS and run it off your flash drive + install anyhting on it.

thanks

Question by Hpets: buying an ipad, Please Help!!?
I need to buy an ipad as a present. I need help finding out where the best place in Toronto is to buy one and the price. Should I get the newest one (what is the newest one btw) or is there a newer one coming out? It would be used a lot, especially for games/music. It needs to have a lot of memory, a good graphics card. Sorry but I’m not too good with this stuff, so if someone could tell me what I should be looking for or what I should get. If anyone could please help me, I’d really appreciate it.
(Also, do you think maybe a blackberry playbook would be better? I like both but just need to know which one is better).
Thanks in advancee

Answer by Left L
Apple iPad 2 MC916LL/A Tablet is just like a big iPhone. Whether this good or bad is subjective. For me, it’s good – polished, flexible and can be customized to my needs. The Xoom user interface is totally new, and unfortunately it shows – there are many rough edges. Some examples: moving icons around to group programs together is not intuitive and they keep moving back; you can see the first 5 applications running on the Xoom and select one, but the list doesn’t scroll so applications that don’t show in the list can’t be selected; you can’t close applications (except by a force quit that can lose data) as the Xoom decides when to quit an application; customization is possible but more difficult than the iPad2. In short, the Xoom user interface is a work in progress – great potential but currently quite flawed.

Mac is only better if you are using it for some type of professional Graphics Design. For normal/general usage a Windows based system is much better.
