Enable USB Flashdisk or External HDD Windows 8 Installation on Boot Camp

2012-11-15T21:59:00.001+07:00

Over the last weekend, I was trying to update my Bootcamp from Windows 7 to Windows 8 on my Macbook Pro 15”. I have already upgraded OSX Lion to Mountain Lion few weeks back. The initial thought I had was to upgrade Windows 7 inplace to Windows 8. Later I decided to perform a clean install. So the installation steps are as followed. However, the problem is that my macbook's dvd drive is broken, so obviously i can't use any Windows 8 dvd installation. The choice left was to use external harddrive or usb flashdisk. By default, latest Bootcamp version is not supporting installation of Windows 8 from external harddrive. Worry not, I will write the step to enable USB device support on Bootcamp.

1. First, get a Windows 8 ISO.
2. As I don’t have any DVDs available at that time, I decided to perform the USB stick installation with bootcamp. Later realized as mine is not a Macbook Air, I don’t have option to select USB installation. The only option available is SuperDrive(DVD Drive) installation.
3. At that point after some bing searches, I came to know the following work around to enable USB installation for Bootcamp.
a. Open the Bootcamp info.plist file with any text/plist editor (I use TextWrangler). (Boot Camp Assistant is located in Utilites folder under Application folder. To find info.plist, you can select “Show package Contents” and then navigate to Boot Camp Assistant\Contents folder as in below screenshots)

b. Add an entry in the “DARequiredROMVersion"s” array with value taken from System Information’s “Boot ROM Version”.

Also update the USBBootSupportedModels array with the first of the Boot ROM Version (MBP61 as from previous screenshot).
Once after updating this rerunning Bootcamp Assistant will have the option to install from USB as below.

4. After selecting all the above 3 options, proceed next and select your Windows 8 ISO image file. The boot camp assistant will write down the ISO data into USB along with Windows support software downloaded from Apple.
Note: The copy process to USB might take long time and also sometimes you feel there is no progress happening in copying and Boot camp is stuck. But that is not true. I had instances where Boot camp was kind of idle for 10-15 minutes but it was actually writing the content to USB.
5. After completion of USB copy, you will be prompted to select the drive partition to install. Provide the sufficient disk space to Windows partition and continue further to format and start installation.

6. Boot camp assistant will initiate the restart of the Mac and Windows 8 installation will start automatically.

Create a Bootable External HDD to Install Windows 8

2012-11-15T15:29:00.000+07:00

Below post is taken from Techtree.com, as I see it has the best article on this.
Without much talking, let's get to the point.

Step I: Format The USB Drive
Insert the flash drive into a free USB port on the computer. Open the command prompt by running the command cmd. To do this, press <WINKEY> + <R>, then type cmd in the Run dialogue box that opens and press <ENTER>. In the console window that appears, type the following commands in this exact order:

diskpart
list disk
select disk x (here "x" is the number corresponding to the USB disk, which you need to replace with what is shown in your system)clean
create partition primary
active
format fs=fat32 quick
assign
exit

Be very careful when using the "select" command — you don't want to end up formatting your hard disk instead!

This is what the screen should look like if all goes well.

Step II: Mount The Windows 8 ISO Image Into A Virtual Drive
Burning the ISO image onto a blank DVD is not an option if you don't have an optical drive. You can instead mount the file as a virtual drive. Windows 8 comes with an inbuilt utility; all you need to do is to double-click on the image file and it will get mounted as a virtual drive. However, if you have an older version of Windows, you can use a freeware virtual drive application such as MagicDisc to mount the image.

Step III: Make The USB Drive Bootable
Assuming that F: is your virtual drive letter where the Windows 8 ISO image is inserted and G: is the location of your USB drive, open the command prompt as mentioned earlier and type the following commands:

F:
cd boot
bootsect.exe /nt60 g:

Again, double-check the target location for the boot record to ensure you don't accidentally overwrite your HDD's bootsector.

Step IV: Copy The Installer Files
Don't close the command prompt yet. The USB drive has now been made bootable, but there's one more command you need to execute in order to transfer the Windows 8 installation from the virtual drive to the USB stick. In the same command prompt window, type the following command:

xcopy f:\*.* g: /e /f /h

You can alternatively copy all the files in the virtual drive to the USB drive by using Windows Explorer, but using XCOPY ensures that system and hidden files are also copied.

Step V: Boot Off The USB Drive
To install Windows 8 on your netbook or computer, you must set it to boot through the USB flash drive. To achieve this, shut down your computer, then go into the BIOS (CMOS setup) by pressing <DEL> or <F2> as soon as you power it on, without unplugging the USB stick. Set the USB drive as the primary boot device, save the settings, and restart. Alternatively, since most modern computers (ie, post 2005) allow you to select the boot device via a hotkey after it is powered on (either through <ESC>, <F9>, or <F11>), you can choose to boot through the USB flash drive this way.

Install Windows as usual. If you've changed the boot sequence through the BIOS, remember to reset it to the internal hard drive when the system restarts after copying the installer files. Let us know in the comments section if you face any issues.

20 Reasons To Switch To Google Plus

2012-06-02T11:19:00.001+07:00

Until now, there has been so much comparation between Google's social network, Google Plus (G+) and Facebook or any other social networks. It just feels a little bit unfair for the new born G+. Give more time to Google for improvement, and we will see which is better. Today, i mention some reasons of why we should switch, or at least consider Google Plus :

1. Integration With Google Services
If you already use Gmail, Google Docs, Picasa, Blogger, or any other Google Services, using Google+ for social networking is pretty much a no brainer.

2. Circles Are Awesome
Circles is a more natural way to manage your friendships, mimicking real life relationships.

3. Better Mobile App
The Google+ Mobile App loads fast and is better designed. It just works even better if you're an Android user.

4. Control Over Your Stuff
Google's "Data Liberation" feature means you can pack up all your data and walk away with it anytime, easily.

5. Photo Tagging
Tagging photos in G+ offers better privacy features, and does away with pesky facial recognition as a "default".

6. Hangouts
Often called the BEST thing about G+, Hangouts are like chatrooms on steroids. Recently, G+ added the ability to share docs in Hangouts.

7. Privacy Settings
Although Facebook has similar Privacy Settings, enabling them on G+ is much more obvious.

8. Easier Profile Setup
Profile setup in G+ is a breeze- and, if you already use other Google services, can be almost non-existent.

9. Browser Integration
Google's got something Facebook and Twitter don't- their own browser, Chrome.

10. Hot Topics With Adjustments
Tracking the hottest topics on G+ is cool- but event better are their adjustment sliders.

11. Better Search
No surprise that G+ has better search. It's what Google was built on.

12. Elegant Notifications
Notifications are great for multitaskers we've become- G+ handles them elegantly, allowing you to do several things from within the notifications popup, even when you aren't on the G+ page.

13. No More Friend Request Fatigue
unlike other networks, there are no Friend Requests on G+. Just add or remove whomever you want from your circles, anytime.

14. Less Bloat
Many people jumped ship from Facebook to G+ hoping for a less bloated network. G+ is definitely lighter.

15. Better Ads
G+ will be launcing ads soon. Given Google's experience with Adwords and statistics, expect them to be better targeted.

16. Better Game Implementation
Those Facebook game requests can get very annoying very fast. Google Plus' Game implementation is a lot less intrusive

17. Safer Sharing
G+ lets you assign a privacy level to each and every piece of content you share, at the moment you share it.

18. Better For Business
Given that Google is the king of online search, creating a page for your business on G+ can help your visibilty and ranking.

19. Single Post Muting
Hands down our favorite thing about G+'s Stream : the ability to Mute individual posts quickly and easily.

20. Photo Gallery Implementation
We've saved the best for last: Google's Photo Galleries are awesome, offering up better photo viewing, unbeatable editing tools, and instant mobile uploading.

Just like Google co-founder, Larry Page, says that with over 120 Google+ integrations to date, we are on the right track.

7 warning signs that you’ve given up on your dreams

2012-05-31T13:50:00.002+07:00

What do you REALLY want from life? What’s your big dream? Are you taking steps toward it? If not, why not? What’s stopping you from taking action today?

Perhaps you’re scared, or maybe you've built a huge wall of procrastination that you'll never scale. Whatever it is, you probably think it has merit. In fact, you may have simply stopped thinking about your dreams because you've given up.

It's too bad. People in much worse situations than you have created the life of their dreams. You may have excuses and obstacles standing in your way, but you can transcend them. However, it only happens when you’re ready.

Here are seven warning signs that you’ve given up on your dreams:

Excuses

Everyone makes excuses. Fleeting excuses are fine but problems begin when you stick to the same excuse over and over again. That’s when you start believing that it’s real and insurmountable.

Your excuses may seem real, but the one creating them is you. I had a lot of excuses when I started. I could’ve given up, but I kept going, because I knew that that was the path to realizing my dreams. Lose the excuses and focus the effort on progress.

Fear

Not only did I have a lot of excuses before I started building my online business and following my passion, I also had a lot of fear and still do. I'm afraid of failure, not being good enough, and all those fears that we all share.

But I kept moving forward. If you're letting fear stop you from going after your dreams, you're surrendering to a life that you ultimately don't want to live. Sure it may seem comfortable right now, but a few years down the road, you'll regret not having taken action. Is that what you want?

Analyzing

Are you trying to analyze how you're going to go after your dreams? Trust me, it doesn't work. Some planning is certainly helpful, but ultimately you have to take action in order to learn what works and what doesn't.

Look at that thing you've been putting off, and do something today to take action toward it.

Some Day

How many people have told you that some day they will go after their dreams, follow their passion, and be happy? A whole bucket load I’d bet - and one of those people may be you.

Some day is not on the calendar, and the longer you wait, the longer you wait. It doesn't get any simpler than that. Instead of waiting, start now, start anywhere, and start with anything, because it's better than sitting around waiting for some day.

If Only

If only you had more money, connections, or talents, you'd easily go after your dreams and enjoy life, right?

I don’t think so.

Many of the most successful entrepreneurs and people that are living the life that they want to live did not have their dreams served to them on a silver platter.

The bottom line?

You're not missing anything except the proper attitude and willingness to take action.

I’m Not…

Are you afraid that you don't have anything unique to give to people?

This is something I deal with a lot with my clients, especially when it comes to creating an online business and putting yourself out there. We all have something to contribute to the world (yes, that includes you), and that something is the exact thing that makes you come alive.

For me one of those things is writing, and another thing is helping people live the life of their dreams and follow their passion.

What's yours?

Comfort Zone

Fear of failure is a big obstacle for many when thinking about going after their dreams. You’ve probably heard that it’s hard to go after your dreams and follow your passion, and it is, but anyone can do it, if they are willing to suspend their disbelief and take action.

You have to decide whether you are happy with where you are now, or whether you want to take action and work towards something that truly fulfills you.

Discover your passion, follow it, and create the life you want. There’s no better time to start than now.

Unlocked BootLoader = Qualcomm BootLoader

Locked BootLoader = Nokia BootLoader

* How to check : turn the phone OFF, then press and hold VOLUME UP, plug in to the computer , wait until you notice a short vibration.

- In Windows OS : If the phone turns up in disk mode (USB Mass Storage Device), then you have an unlocked bootloader. If you're in Windows, it will ask if you want to format the disk. SAY NO OR IT WILL EXPLODE (it won't explode but you might break it)

- In Mac OSX : do this quick -> open About This Mac -> More Info... -> System Report -> Hardware -> USB . Notice it on the right panel, whether it is Nokia DLOAD or USB Mass Storage / Qualcomm MMC Storage

- In Linux : run terminal, use command 'lsusb', notice it like Mac OSX above

* If the device detected by the computer is Nokia DLOAD you have a locked bootloader (Nokia bootloader) and you have to flash Qualcomm BootLoader *

--------------------------------------------------

If you have Nokia BootLoader, you can flash to Qualcomm BootLoader

How To Downgrade Your Lumia 710 Nokia DLOAD BootLoader Into A Qualcomm BootLoader

2012-05-24T13:09:00.000+07:00

1: The first thing you have to do is download a program called Nokia Care Suite :
http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/0HDB8BQ0/

Download Qualcomm BootLoader here :

http://narod.ru/disk/45935058001.2aaca38c9acf622332f4a81b5bf0e331/RM-803.rar.html

file 1 : http://www.mediafire.com/?79z739zzf5cuhxa

file 2 : http://www.mediafire.com/?6fed8oaz87j9ln9

2: Extract both, and install Nokia care suite (I'm going to assume you can do this basic task)

3: I'm not sure if you have to do this for windows 32-bit, but with windows 64-bit you must navigate to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers

4: Inside that folder you'll find "WinUSB Drivers x64.msi", install it.

5: The next step is to place your extracted Qualcomm files into the appropriate location.

6: Copy-paste the extracted RM-803 folder (Should have a bunch of files inside) into this directory:

C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products

Note: the "ProgramData" folder might be hidden, to view hidden folders, Press start, search "folder options", open Folder Options, click the "view" tab and press the radio button "Show hidden files, folders, and drives"

7: The next step is to open the nokia product support tool.

(I think there was a bug in my version of nokia care suite as i couldnt find it in the start menu, I had to open it manually from this location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Product Support Tool For Store 5.0\ProductSupportToolForStore.exe)

8: Once you have the product support tool open, make sure the drop down on the upper left says "No connection" and "Automatic product selection" is enabled".

Note: Phone should NOT be plugged in at this point

9: Click file.. "open product".. and choose "RM-803" and click open

10: Click Programming on the lower left and click "recovery".

11: Click on update list and a list item called "Nokia 710 RM-803 Country variant Russia RU BLACK_BLACK V3" should come up.

12: Click "Start" (Phone should not be plugged in at this point)

13: It will say that it has lost connection with your device, this is where you power down your phone, hold VOL+ and plug USB until you feel a short vibration, and let go.

14: Click "Retry" and it should begin Flashing your bootloader (It will like like 5 mins)

15: When it is complete, unplug your phone and it will reboot into a russian language, press the right button and choose english.

16: That's it, you now have a Qualcomm bootloader.

Solve Greenpois0n RC6.1 jailbreak failed problem

2012-05-05T17:24:00.000+07:00

If we have iDevice on iOS 4.2.1 and want to jailbreak it, the easiest option is to use Greenpois0n (GP) tool. However, the latest GP which is GP RC6.1 may having a bug. Many people experience "failed" state. But worry not, here is the solution :

Make a copy of Greenpois0n app to your desktop. Copy "greenpois0n.app" to desktop.
Now run greenpois0n, but not the copied one in desktop (run the one in your application folder or somewhere else).
Just abandon the opened up Greenpois0n app.
Open up Terminal app, type cd Desktop to go to desktop. Press Enter.
Type in open Greenpois0n.app/Contents/MacOS/greenpois0n
This will open another Greenpois0n app. Use this greenpois0n-launched-from-terminal to jailbreak your device. Just press "jailbreak" button and follow the usual instructions.
Now the jailbreak process will be started with the Terminal app showing jailbreaking process states.

Maybe you read some "error" statement on the Terminal, but you have nothing to worry about, it's fine. After that the jailbreak process will move to the device, and then your device will reboot, and just search for 'loader' app on your homescreen :)

Solving WiFi won't turn on Lion OSX problem

2012-05-03T15:04:00.000+07:00

Well, i was in the middle of working this morning until i bumped into this problem. My macbook's wifi won't turn on. This is happened after my macbook switched off running out of battery's power. And then after restart, the problem started, wifi is switched off and can't be switched on. And here is my method of solving this problem :

Restart your mac.
Open "Network Preferences". On the left tab, look for wifi connection (usually named Wi-Fi).
Select the wifi connection, and disable that. To disable a connection, choose gear icon below the tab, and choose "Make Service Inactive".
After disabled, delete the connection. To delete a connection, choose minus (-) icon below the tab, left of gear icon.
Now that the original connection has been deleted, we must create a new wifi connection. Choose plus (+) icon, select "Wi-Fi" as interface, and you can name it anything as you want, it doesn't matter thought.
Apply the change. Once again, restart your mac.
After system reboot, voila ! your wifi should be working properly by now
