Using SDcard upgrade option in A1000

Can we use SDcard upgrade option to root our tablet A1000G/T/F???????
Like this-
We can make update.zip and keep it in the root directory of USB storage in which we can keep 'su' in /system/bin and 'superuser.apk' in /system/app.
The problem is I don't know how to make "META-INF" folder contents.
Can anyone help me to make this meta-inf folder.
You can say thank you by pressing the star left to my post IF I HELPED YOU

Yes, you can build your own update.zip if you run a custom recovery like CWM. Only Lenovo signed zips will work in the stock recovery. META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script is where the commands go (it's a unix/linux style text file). The CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, and MANIFEST.MF files in the META-INF folder are produced by signing the zip. There are tools around to self-sign zips, but again only a custom recovery would accept a zip signed by anyone other than Lenovo.

Using the upgrade option ...

I have already upgraded my MacBook to Leopard - I used the clean install option and backed up all my files ... my brother is now interested in upgrading but does not have the time to backup everything on his computer, if he uses the upgrade option will it keep all his preferences and everything? ... he basically wants to be able to install Leopard and then continue using his Mac without having to redo anything he already had setup on it (if that makes any sense), is that possible?

If you don't have time to make a full backup, you don't have time to install Leopard.
A backup takes less than an hour. A bad install takes forever to recover from without a backup.
People who don't have time may make mistakes. And never upgrade a system that you need on a day-to-day basis unless you really have the time. And a backup.
Theoretically, on a well taken care of machine, you can do a simple upgrade (I did 2 - one on each of my MBPs - but I still had a backup) and it might work. If it fails then the option is an archive and install but the archive will be over a failed install - it won't be a virgin archive. If that fails you have to do an erase and install and without a backup you have saved nada, zip, zilch.
There's an old saying that if you take a shortcut, leave plenty of extra time.

Can I Use Wifey Upgrade Option to Get New iPhone Subsidized?

I'm not eligible until 12-29, but my wife's Blackberry 8800 is eligible now. She can't use either iPhone because of her job, so I just want to use her eligibility to get a subsidized iPhone 3G S and activate with my phone number which is now active on my 3G.
Can I just use her account to order the phone through Apple, then . . . what? Any pitfalls here or is this very doable and AT&T doesn't really care so long as they get her under a new contract and my contract continues?
Would I be better off waiting and doing this in person at my local AT&T store?
JoeL

ATTGuy,
I had another question about this process. I just spoke with an AT&T rep on the phone about this process about a concern I had, namely that on the day the phone ships from either AT&T or Apple she said that they "update the sim card" on "her" new phone (the iPhone 3G S that we will transition to my account) and so I have a concern about this purchase interfering with the use of her current phone, a Blackberry 8800 which she uses heavily for business, day and night.
If her email, texting or phone ability got disrupted at an inconvenient time it could be disastrous for her day. So I'm wondering the best method to do this, shall I:
1. Order online on the AT&T website using her account to have it delivered here, then call in to transition the phone to my account.
2. Order online on the AT&T website using her account to have it delivered here, then take it in to a store in person to do the switch.
3. Go in to a store to pre-order the phone and pick it up at the store when it arrives to do the switch.
4. Wait for the rush to die down then go in and pick up an in-stock phone and do the whole thing at the same time, avoiding the pre-order concerns.
My concern is to not cause her any glitches in her phone service which she would hate and could cause real problems on a given day. BTW, for some reason I haven't been able to get an order to go through on the Apple website using her account information.
Thanks for your help!

What is my best upgrade option?

I have been using AA 1.5 in Windows for some time now. Not too long ago (couple of months) I downloaded the Mac beta version, which is now about to expire.
What I'd like to do is upgrade my Windows version as well as buy the upgrade for the Mac. Do you suppose there is any way I can do BOTH for the $100 upgrade cost? Or if not that, could I use the upgrade option twice, that is pay $200 to upgrade the Windows version as well as get the new verison for Mac?
Since it is permitted to install a purchased verison on two computers, can that be extended to two platforms?
Thanks for any advice,
David

I'm not in the office right now, but as soon as I get back, I'll try to follow up and determine if an existing license is applicable to multiple upgrades. I suspect not, but I have no real knowledge of that. I do know that a single license only applies to a single platform, so you wouldn't be able to use the same serial number to activate a Windows and Mac installation.
I would recommend downloading the latest 30-day trial installations for each platform when your beta expires.

Just upgraded from FrameMaker 7.2 to version 12. When I try to create a pdf of a book using .ps file, this crashes. When I use the SaveAsPDF option, the graphics either missing or only partially shown in the resulting PDF. Any ideas?

I just upgraded from FrameMaker 7.2 to version 12. When I create the .pdf of a book using the SaveAsPDF option, the many of the graphics are either missing or partially missing. Any ideas why?

1. Check to see whether you're fully patched (the latest release is 12.0.4 - you need to install the patches in order).
2. Use the RGB option instead of the CMYK (unless you are creating output for press production).

Is there a discount option for someone running Logic 8 who wants to upgrade to 9? I know the price of 9 has been reduced in the App store but there always used to be a discounted upgrade option. Just wondered.

Solaris 8 - 10 upgrade options

I want to upgrade a Sol. 8 sytem to Sol. 10 but acomplish 2 objectives in the process:
1.) Reduce the system disk mounts pts (/var,/opt) to just /
2.) Attempt to do a UPGRADE install so as to not have to restore all my custom apps.
I tried a quick UPGRADE install and it failed during the testing upgrade profiile - /usr on Sol. 8 disk is only 2GB big and Sol. 10 needed 4GB.
I tried a UPGRADE install again but specified a backup media of a spare partition on a spare dirve that is the size of the Sol. 8 system disk but it too failed during install on restoring /usr to 2GB partition.
I then did the INITIAL install option and could specify my own partition layout and afterwards restore all custom files but it is very time consuming.
Is there a way to upgrade the Sol. 8 system that would allow me to specify the partion layout - short of the INITIAL install option and have solaris install do the restores for me?
Thanks in advance,
Dino

Answered my Q - I used Live Upgrade!
With a spare drive >= size of current Sol 8 system disk I was able to copy Sol 8 O/S and perform Sol 10 UPGRADE install via Live Upgrade and have it combine /var and /opt back into root - NEAT-OOOO!!
Only bug - Live Upgrade set mount permission on /usr to 700 that caused some initial problems until I booted off DVD and chmod-ed /usr to 755. Now everything is OK.

Solaris 10 upgrade from 9 - Upgrade option not presented

I have moved the system disk from a v880 to a v480 and successfully booted.
I've successfully tested the upgrade using pfinstall.
/usr/sbin/install.d/pfinstall -D /tmp/profile
I had the following text in /tmp/profile
install_type upgrade
root_device /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0
This finished with:
Test run complete. Exit status 0.
I had to mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 to /a before running pfinstall otherwise the program would fail with Exit status 2.
Original slice layout is:
# df -h | grep c1t0
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 9.8G 4.2G 5.6G 43% /
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3 9.8G 3.7G 6.1G 38% /usr
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s4 9.8G 3.9G 5.9G 40% /var
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s5 9.8G 1.8G 8.0G 19% /opt
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s6 20G 2.0G 18G 11% /export/home
Because of http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4041/6nfhjnlao?l=Ja&a=view
I moved var from slice 3 to / on slice 0
I also removed "swap" entries in vfstab, and even removed the second disk in the system (which didn't have an OS)
ok> boot cdrom - nowin
this results with no upgrade option presented
Can someone tell me what I can do? I don't have experience with Jumpstart or Live upgrade
Thanks

Hi,
Yes and no.
11gR1 and 11gR2 are fully supported (premier support). 10gR1 and 10gR2 are in extended support. About 9.2 it's a bit more complicated and the general extended support ended : check note 161818.1 for further details.
After the extended support there is still the sustaining support.
Read that to understand the notions :

Looking for information on best practices using Live Upgrade to patch LDOMs

This is in Solaris 10. Relatively new to the style of patching... I have a T5240 with 4 LDOMS. A control LDOM and three clients. I have some fundamental questions I'd like help with..
Namely:
#1. The Client LDOMS have zones running in them. Do I need to init 0 the zone or can I just +zoneadm zone halt+ them regardless of state? I.E. if it's running a database will halting the zone essentially snapshot it or will it attempt to shut it down. Is this even a nessessary step.
#2. What is the reccommended reboot order for the LDOMs? do I need to init 0 the client ldoms and the reboot the control ldom or can I leave the client LDOM's running and just reboot the control and then reboot the clients after the control comes up?
#3. Oracle. it's running in several of the zones on the client LDOM's what considerations need to be made for this?
I am sure other things will come up during the conversation but I have been looking for an hour on Oracle's site for this and the only thing I can find is old Sun Docs with broken links.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
pipelineadmin+*

Before you use live upgrade, or any other patching technique for Solaris, please be sure to read http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23823_01/html/E23801/index.html which includes information on upgrading systems with non-global zones. Also, go to support.oracle.com and read Oracle Solaris Live Upgrade Information Center [ID 1364140.1]. These really are MANDATORY READING.
For the individual questions:
#1. During the actual maintenance you don't have to do anything to the zone - just operate it as normal. That's the purpose of the "live" in "live upgrade" - you're applying patches on a live, running system under normal operations. When you are finisihed with that process you can then reboot into the new "boot environment". This will become more clear after reading the above documents. Do as you normally would do before taking a planned outage: shut the databases down using the database commands for a graceful shutdown. A zone halt will abruptly stop the zone and is not a good idea for a database. Alternatively, if you can take application outages, you could (smoothly) shutdown the applications and then their domains, detach the zones (zoneadm detach) and then do a live upgrade. Some people like that because it makes things faster. After the live upgrade you would reboot and then zoneadm attach the zones again. The fact that the Solaris instance is running within a logical domain really is mostly besides the point with respect to this process.
As you can see, there are a LOT of options and choices here, so it's important to read the doc. I ***strongly*** recommend you practice on a test domain so you can get used to the procedure. That's one of the benefits of virtualization: you can easily set up test environments so you cn test out procedures. Do it! :-)
#2 First, note that you can update the domains individually at separate times, just as if they were separate physical machines. So, you could update the guest domains one week (all at once or one at a time), reboot them into the new Solaris 10 software level, and then a few weeks later (or whenever) update the control domain.
If you had set up your T5240 in a split-bus configuration with an alternate I/O domain providing virtual I/O for the guests, you would be able to upgrade the extra I/O domain and the control domain one at a time in a rolling upgrade - without ever having to reboot the guests. That's really powerful for providing continuous availability. Since you haven't done that, the answer is that at the point you reboot the control domain the guests will lose their I/O. They don't crash, and technically you could just have them continue until the control domain comes back up at which time the I/O devices reappear. For an important application like a database I wouldn't recommend that. Instead: shutdown the guests. then reboot the control domain, then bring the guest domains back up.
3. The fact that Oracle database is running in zones inside those domains really isn't an issue. You should study the zones administration guide to understand the operational aspects of running with zones, and make sure that the patches are compatible with the version of Oracle.
I STRONGLY recommend reading the documents mentioned at top, and setting up a test domain to practice on. It shouldn't be hard for you to find documentation. Go to www.oracle.com and hover your mouse over "Oracle Technology Network". You'll see a window with a menu of choices, one of which is "Documentation" - click on that. From there, click on System Software, and it takes you right to the links for Solaris 10 and 11.

How to update SP2010 sites that are missing the Visual Upgrade options

So, we are moving towards upgrading some SP 2010 sites that are currently using the old SP 2007 look and feel so that they have the new ribbon Visual Upgrade.
For some reason, some of these sites do not have the Site Actions > Visual Upgrade option nor do they have the Site Actions > Site Settings > Visual Upgrade link.
Does anyone know what can be done to make those available?
Thank you.

Even when I take a look at
http://myfarm/sites/Support/dept1/_layouts/prjsetng.aspx?Source=http%3A%2F%2Fmyfarm%2Fsites%2FSupport%2Fdept1%2FPages%2Fdefault%2Easpx
which is where the site actions > visual upgrade link should take the user, that page does not have the visual upgrade options on it.

Upgrade option took different version of my system!

After installing 10.5 with the upgrade option, I noticed the installer upgraded the system from an older backup with a different home folder name (A), and then put my most recent library into the users folder under a different name (B). Thus, the data I want to be current on my computer is put into an archive library B, and I don't know how to get that into A so that it can be used by the system.
A while back I had problems booting while in 10.3, and I did a system restore using the install disk. Then, essentially, the 10.5 installer took the library of my system right before my boot problem (A) when it upgraded, and put B, the library of my system after the boot problem, into the users folder.
Any solutions?
Let me know if this doesn't make sense or if I need to dig up that boot problem.
Thanks much,

anyone?
Can I just replace the old library with the new one?

Windows 7 upgrade option update (Microsoft and Lenovo

All:
Edit: Lenovo link added

Here's the information from Microsoft about the update program. Hopefully there will be an announcement soon from .... hardware vendors
Announcing the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program & Windows 7 Pricing – Bring on GA!
http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/06/25/announcing-the-windows-7-upgrade-option...
As Brad discussed in the video, today we’re announcing details for the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program, pricing, and a special pre-order offer for select markets.
But first, I want to talk a little bit more about GA and the worldwide availability of Windows 7. We’ve really focused a lot of our efforts on getting the product out to as many people around the world as quickly as possible. OEMs will start shipping PCs with Windows 7 in all language versions beginning on GA, October 22nd.
And for our retail software, we’ve made significant strides in terms of timing. Gone are the days when it could take months for all language versions to be available. In fact – we’ve narrowed the gap to just over ONE week!
On October 22nd, Windows 7 will be available in the following 14 languages: English, Spanish, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Chinese (Hong Kong).
Then on October 31st, the remaining 21 languages will become available: Turkish, Czech, Portuguese, Hungarian, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Greek, Ukrainian, Romanian, Arabic, Lithuanian, Bulgarian, Estonian, Slovenian, Hebrew, Thai, Croatian, Serbian Latin, and Latvian.
Windows 7 truly is a global release and I’m excited to be able to tell my international friends that when I say Windows 7 will be available for the holidays – I mean everywhere in the world.
But, you don’t have to wait until GA to get a new Windows PC. In fact, we know many people need that new PC sooner – for back to school specifically. And we have the answer for people who need a new PC now but still want to get Windows 7 and that’s the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program, which kicks off tomorrow, June 26th! Anyone who buys a PC from a participating OEM or retailer with Windows Vista Home Premium, Business or Ultimate on it will all receive an upgrade to the corresponding version of Windows 7 at little or no cost to customers. The Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program will be available until January 31st, 2010 – and is global! For more information on taking advantage of the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program, visit www.windows.com/upgradeoffer.
Another one of the most common questions I get is: how much will Windows 7 cost? Well, today we’re sharing these details.
For Windows 7, we are reducing the price on our most popular retail product for customers, the Home Premium Upgrade, by approximately 10% (depending on the market). In the U.S., this means a customer buying Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade will pay only $119.99 instead of the $129.99 being charged today for its predecessor.
Overall, customers will be paying less and getting more with Windows 7. This includes fun new features such as HomeGroup, Device Stage, Aero Shake, Snap, Peek, Jump Lists and our completely redesigned Windows Taskbar (one of my favorite new features in Windows 7 today). These new features make your PC simpler and much easier to use.
So here’s the low-down on pricing for Windows 7. The estimated retail prices for upgrade packaged retail product of Windows 7 in the U.S. are:
Windows 7 Home Premium (Upgrade): $119.99
Windows 7 Professional (Upgrade): $199.99
Windows 7 Ultimate (Upgrade): $219.99
And the estimated retail prices for full packaged retail product of Windows 7 in the U.S. are:
Windows 7 Home Premium (Full): $199.99
Windows 7 Professional (Full): $299.99
Windows 7 Ultimate (Full): $319.99
This means that Windows 7 Home Premium full retail product is $40.00 less than Windows Vista Home Premium today.
As Brad describes in the video, for Europe, we will not have a separate upgrade SKU for the packaged retail product versions of Windows 7 at GA. But we will be offering upgrade pricing on our full licenses to make sure that European customers who want to upgrade have the pricing options available in the rest of the world.
Finally, as a way of saying thank you to our loyal Windows customers, we are excited to introduce a special time limited offer! We will offer people in select markets the opportunity to pre-order Windows 7 at a more than 50% discount. In the US, this will mean you can pre-order Windows 7 Home Premium for USD $49.99 or Windows 7 Professional for USD $99.99. You can take advantage of this special offer online via select retail partners such as Best Buy or Amazon, or the online Microsoft Store (in participating markets).
This program begins tomorrow in the U.S., Canada and Japan. The offer ends July 11th in the U.S. and Canada and on July 5th for Japan or while supplies last. Customers in the UK, France and Germany, can pre-order their copy of Windows 7 starting July 15th and will run until August 14th (or supplies last) to ensure folks don’t miss out on this. Act fast if you want to be the first in line to get Windows 7 at this screaming deal! Note: The special low pre-order price will vary per country.
For more information on this special pre-order offer,
I am really excited to be sharing these Windows 7 announcements with you today. Because of the great feedback we received from you, we are confident we are poised to deliver a great product this fall!

Having purchased my Thinkpad T500 two weeks ago, I'll be a little miffed if I am not eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 7. However, my pain will be eased a little by the TechNetPlus subscription that will allow me to download and install the RTM bits sometime in mid-to-late July.
I really do think Microsoft continues to miss the boat on their retail OS and Office pricing. Keep Windows between $50 and $100, and Office $75 to $150 and you're going to have loads of people buying instead of seeking out ways to not pay for it.
