Did you take out ES File Explorer? I noticed it's no longer listed in the first thread.

Keep up the good work! I may have to re-root my nooks to try it out. :D
[Nook Touch Android Development] salsichad2:
Hi

In my test I could not make Market work directly.

I just need to edit /system/build.prop to make it work?
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
edited

The packages.xml is edited to make Gmail work, and the build.prop to make the market work, I'm going to check your script.
[Nook Touch Android Development] salsichad2:
Sorry, I edit my question after you start your answer.

my /system/build.prop already has this codes:

ro.config.nocheckin=no

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/

But I still can not use this Market directly.

I will try again.
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
Try this script and tell me if it worked (the sleep is added just for timing issues, I had many when dealing with custom tomato scripts):

cat /sdcard/nooter/system/xbin/busybox >> /system/xbin/busybox

chmod 755 /system/xbin/*

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

busybox cp -R /sdcard/nooter/system/* /system/

chmod 4775 /system/bin/su

busybox cp -R /sdcard/nooter/data/* /data/

mkdir /cache/boot

busybox cp -R /sdcard/nooter/boot/uRamdisk /cache/boot/

umount /cache/boot/

rm -r /cache/boot

cd /system

busybox sleep 10

busybox echo "ro.config.nocheckin=no" >> /system/build.prop

busybox sed -i 's/^.*ro.build.fingerprint.*$/ro\.build\.fingerprint=verizon\/voles\/sholes\/sholes:2\.1-update1\/ESE81\/29593:user\/release-keys/' /system/build.prop

cd /data/system

busybox sed -i '/uid.system/,/perms/{/uid.system/b;/perms/b;d}' /data/system/packages.xml

echo "Success!" >> /sdcard/nooter/tmp/nooter.log

Had a blackout while burning your image with my script and market on the sd...... Damn! posting from the phone....
[Nook Touch Android Development] salsichad2:
Always the same error:

A server error has ocurred. Retry, or cancel to return to the previus screen.

I thought this only happened in Brazil. Sorry for that.
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
This a stupid question... Did you click retry 2 or 3 times? It gave me that error at first, but retrying solved it, I cant try it now as the light dosnt seem to come back, maybe reboot and retry.
[Nook Touch Android Development] salsichad2:
Yes, I tried this several times. Always the same error.
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
Don't really know why it dosn't work, I've tried again manually and never fails, didn't even have to retry this time which I was starting from a clean backup.

The only difference I see on your script is that you haven't enabled non market apps.
[Nook Touch Android Development] myself11:
Do you have normal browser behavior? I click on Opera mobile icon and it refreshes the screen, but doesn't open the browser, just goes to home screen.

Installed Dolphin and though it opens correctly, if I write a link and click go, nothing happens.
[Nook Touch Android Development] salsichad2:
I'm still trying, if you have any idea I'm accepting suggestions.

Thanks

Opera mobile works great here. If you have titanium backup, try to wipe data. Or, you can try uninstall and reinstall the app.
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
Don't really know what changes but.... just I wild guess, it shouldn't have anything to do but..... I install Gapps when I have non market apps enabled thats the only real difference from the way I do it to your script...

Try this:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CGCAT7Y0

Add this to your img, check the script for typos and tell me if it worked, just added a way to enable non market installs automatically, the updated vending.apk, reordered some steps, and added some sleeps between some steps.
[Nook Touch Android Development] salsichad2:
I still don´t try thid package, but, guess what?

If I uninstall and reinstall youtube the market start to work.
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
Strange, but we maybe have the issue there.

Do you know the folder under /data/data where youtube stores its data?

We could rm it before the scripts ends, then reboot the device without the sdcard and it should be as reinstalling it, as it deletes all its values.

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

Before my script ends, add:

cd /data/data/com.google.android.youtube

sleep 3

rm -r *

and then, before starting the process to register and when its all installed, take the sd-card out and reboot.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

Let me know when you've tried it.

Maybe you'll need su for that to work:

su

cd /data/data/com.google.android.youtube

sleep 3

rm -r *
[Nook Touch Android Development] salsichad2:
I'm getting random success!! but none in a clean system.

If the /data/data/com.google.android.youtube folder doesn't exist the rm -r * command isn´t a little dangerous?
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
Totally, sorry for that :p

use this then:

su

rm -R /data/data/com.google.android.youtube/*

If it dosnt exist, nothing happens.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

Dosn't it work on a clean system?

What script are you using? The one I gave you on the link + the updates I posted?

Need to know as I can't try it at the moment :(
[Nook Touch Android Development] salsichad2:
To be honest, only 2 success:

1. uninstaling and reinstaling youtube, only one time, never more.

2. trying a lot of .imgs one after another, one time it works, when I restore my nook to try again the image don´t work anymore and I don´t remember if I did something diferent before.

Wipe youtube data or reinstall is simply useless.

Your sqlite3 script is working, I can install nonmarket app without nook color tools.

Device Id: ok

Android Id: ok
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
Don't worry about that, it isn't the problem.
[Nook Touch Android Development] dark_hawk:
Get Opera Mini, works great.

Other browsers have issues.
[Nook Touch Android Development] salsichad2:
Sorry for that, uninstall and reinstall the opera. This will probably solve the problem.

Opera mobile works great too. I will work on that for 0.5 .
[Nook Touch Android Development] met67:
I am still on 1.0.1, but I got full access to contacts simply by installing GO contacts :)
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
How exactly are you enabling Network Location if you've removed setup.apk?
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
For me it wasnt necesary, the network location services, to get everything up and runing.

Why would you need it?
[Nook Touch Android Development] case-sensitive:
Thanks for the suggestion; unfortuantely it does not work with rooted 1.1 (not for me anyway). The app does run, but it does not sync with google contacts (I use the app synker to manually sync gamil/calendar). And when I go to setting>set contact to try create the g-contact account the NST reboots.

Any suggestions?
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Some apps, like I believe some of the twitters apps, would completely break if you didn't have Network Location Services enabled. In fact unless you enabled it through setup.apk there's no way to enable it short of SQLing the settings database.

Basically any app that needs some sort of Location won't get it. The point of having it there is so people can use Network Location if an app needs it.
[Nook Touch Android Development] smashingblue:
When I click on "shop" nothing happens, I'm unable to view the shop at all as far as I can tell.

Anyway to fix this?
[Nook Touch Android Development] silasrye:
Same for me. Although, if i search for a title, I can then open it in the shop. So shop does work, just not that shortcut button.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Kralik:
The newest version of ES File Explorer (1.6.0.8 released 11/20) supports a White Background/Theme and it looks quite nice. Care to update your root package since it directly improves visibility on the e-ink screen?
[Nook Touch Android Development] henel321:
Strange... Everything worked fine (installed a few apps from Market to test) until installed the updated Vending.apk to get search working, anyone else it doesn't work for?
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
What stopped working? Market? The my apps tab of market?
[Nook Touch Android Development] densets:
So, is it possible to update a rooted nook if i never made the original backup?
[Nook Touch Android Development] ryanpl:
so here's a question for the audience. Before I updated to 1.1 i was able to use the app Jorte for my calendar/planner. Since the upgrade the program no longer works. I updated and then used Salsicha's method. I thought that if I added the android calendar apks from the original touchnooter it would work once again. Alas still not working. Any ideas what I can try aside from pray? I tried to reinstall the program and even asked my Nook to be nice but no luck.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
Yes

Do a "Factory Restore" and a "Factory Reset"

Factory Restore:

The easiest way is using the n2T-Recovery tool. (v0.1)

Factory Reset:

Settings->Device Info->Erase & Deregister Device

Back up your NST before you update and reroot ;)
[Nook Touch Android Development] apeine:
Ryan,

My jorte app also stopped working. I thought it was great because the widget was so cool. I'm trying wunderlist instead, but the widget is a mere icon on the "phone"top that calls the app. Couldn't get go task manager widget to work (lack of space! - I don't want something huge on-screen).
[Nook Touch Android Development] henel321:
Entire market app. Just goes back to launcher after starting the app.

Have done it twice, market works after running Salsicha but stops when replacing vending.
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
Thats new, for me it seems build.prop wasn't edited correctly.

Is gmail working?? if it isn't also add the second part before the reboot of the first,

Try this manually writing it through adb line by line, if it still dosnt work, come to my thread, and look at what apeine is trying.

cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
adb connect yourNSTip
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
rm -R /data/data/com.android.vending/*
echo "ro.config.nocheckin=no" >> /system/build.prop
reboot

If Gmail isnt working add also this :

rm -R /data/data/com.google.android.gm/*
sed -i '/uid.system/,/perms/{/uid.system/b;/perms/b;d}' /data/system/packages.xml
reboot
[Nook Touch Android Development] henel321:
Worked perfectly after clearing vending and resetting build.prop (but I saw from my emacs-buffers that it WAS done..).. Wonder what happened though.

Thanks!
[Nook Touch Android Development] etique57:
Hi board,

Thanks for the work, I was just wondering if any of you did notice any difference in term of battery life with this mod?

Especially in term of deep sleep? Is it affected?

Thanks a lot!
[Nook Touch Android Development] met67:
I updated to 1.1 and am still able to use GO Contacts. WRT to your setup, I sync my contacts from an Exchange server, using the standard EMail app.

Maybe you could try to setup an Exchange account for GMail in order to sync your contacts...
[Nook Touch Android Development] bormasina:
I can not root it ?!

I seems like that i can not root it with this "SalsichaNooter04.img". I followed the instructions, and i can see that the sdcard (used Win32DiskImager) contains the following files:

boot.scr

boot.script

booting.pgm

cfg.bin

flash_spl.bin

MLO

regenerate_bootscript.sh

u-boot.bin

uImage

uRamdisk

wvf.bin

and one dir:

nooter

and a bunch of folders in the "nooter" dir

I do not understand why i can not root the damn thing (rebooted with sdcard in it). Any help is appreciated.

Take care

I updated nook to 1.1, put the sd in, it booted saying nook forever, now I am on a screen right after that, that says nook by barnes and noble and has 5 dots and only the first one is black and it just seems to sit there forever. Any ideas?
[Nook Touch Android Development] mali100:
Reboot. Hold the power button for 10 seconds until the nook reboots. It should boot completly the second time.
[Nook Touch Android Development] shanghei:
Anyone know how to unroot? I click erase device and it still root on boot up
[Nook Touch Android Development] italiano1964:
I used this,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1289233

Use version 0.1 first. If it doesn't do the trick, use 0.2

After, the screen will still look rooted (but several icons, like market, will not be functional). To go back to pristine nook, go into settings and deregister/erase device.
[Nook Touch Android Development] one80oneday:
I've tried a few times to get the img on the sd card using WinImage and it keeps partitioning it to 75MB and failing. It's a pain to fix the sd card too. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong? TouchNooter loaded fine but couldn't get market to work so I wanted to try this, thanks.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
It being ~75Mb is correct. You're basically writing a copy of the NST boot partition onto your memory card, and Windows only reads the first partition off memory cards.

I'm guessing you're in W7 or similar. Just reformat it and ignore what size Windows is telling you it will be.

Usually it will end up in the correct size after reformat.
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
salsichad2 check the script, as there are some permission and ownership problems with the theme data.
[Nook Touch Android Development] stegg:
worked for me! :D thank you very much!

the first boot took forever, it was stick at the "root forever" screen; after 5 min. I had to press the power button for 10 sec. to retry boot.

at the second boot I reached the desktop but the nook froze; removed the sdcard, power button again.

at the 3rd boot all was OK :D
[Nook Touch Android Development] -=knop=-:
what to try if devices hangs on "rooted forever" and nothing happens?

tried rebooting several times

how long usually it should boot after "rooted forever" ?
[Nook Touch Android Development] -=knop=-:
ok i made full wipe + installed 1.1.0 from b&n and then applied this one - now market does not start!
[Nook Touch Android Development] HinDMosT:

Rooted Nook but cannot refresh gmail account

I successfully rooted my nook simple touch and logged into the youtube account. But when I tried to refresh my gmail account, it wouldn't refresh. Now I cannot get back to youtube account and cannot access market. And now I accidentally deleted the youtube account and don't know how to get it back.

I'd like to un-do the root and try again from the beginning but I'm not sure I understand how to do that or whether I need to.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it necessary to do something to block updates, and if so how?
[Nook Touch Android Development] honza-m:
System not stable

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my NST. I followed the instructions as written here, and everything went quite OK. It was on "rooted forever" screen fifteen minutes, so I took out the SD card, and pressed the big button on back for 10 sec. Then I pressed it again, while connecting my nook to computer. Everything went fine, my nook has loaded into the android home screen. So I have followed instructions, opened a YouTube app, and loged myself with gmail account. Then I went to a market - and here the problem starts.

I know, that searching in market doesn't work, before you install the Vendigo app, but in those instruction there is written, that i should install one application from the main screen of market. But the market shows me nothing, even though that I'm connected to wifi. The installation of Vendigo.apk doesn't help, and when I tried to run the Opera app, it didn't even start. The screen just blinked once, but nothing happened. Also, when I want to go on internet by the normal browser, it crashes on first site it loads.

Can someone help me to solve this please? I would love to use my nook also for twitter, rss and regional news, mayby as a notes, because writing is really comfortable on it. Sorry for my english and looking forward for any help.
[Nook Touch Android Development] persichini:
My nook is also experiencing the same issue... It keeps telling me there is a connection issue... very frustrating..
[Nook Touch Android Development] sub501:
Hello everyone,

Successful rooted but I have 2 major problems:

- cannot add a second google account (Gmail -> Accounts -> Add account):

E/AndroidRuntime( 2161): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.android.setupwizard/com.android.setupwizard.AccountIntroActivity}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

- I installed Calendar.apk from the touchnooter-1-6-24.img (for v1.0.x http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14915570). Unfortunately I got:

E/AndroidRuntime( 2331): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.android.calendar/com.android.calendar.LaunchActivity}: java.lang.SecurityException: caller uid 10013 lacks android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS

Any idea?
[Nook Touch Android Development] sub501:
Got rid of the first one by copying some missing apk from touchnoote-1.6.24. Now I can add a new gmail account or an exchange account and yes, contacts are synced. Calendar app starts with an ugly SD card icon on top, it syncs with initially created google account but I cannot see 2nd google account or exchange calendar(s).....

Installed synker which seems to sync but when I want to go in the Accounts & Sync setting I instantly got rebooted. So my question is how can I manage the created accounts (something like Settings -> App & Sync in a vanilla Android distribution)?
[Nook Touch Android Development] jmt230:
I can't seem to write the image to the SD card. I'm using Fedora 15, and used "dd if=SalsichaNooter04.img of=/media/6F00-EC16/sdcard" (this is the location of my sdcard in the filesystem) but all it does is write a script called sdcard to the card and it doesn't boot into the "Rooted Forever" screen on the NST. I also tried using the command in the instructions (to /dev/sdcard) but that just wrote a script called sdcard in my /dev folder. Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions?

Also tried "dd if=SalsichaNooter04.img of=/media/6F00-EC16" and it said it couldn't because this is a directory.
[Nook Touch Android Development] mali100:
it should be something like of=/dev/sdx

This works only if the sdcard isn't mounted
[Nook Touch Android Development] jmt230:
Okay, got the sdcard to work. Put it in the nook and rebooted - it went pretty quickly from the "rooted forever" screen to the boot screen, but seems to be locked in a boot loop. Took out the card, and tried rebooting, but same thing - locked in a boot loop. Any advice here?

EDIT:

Got it to work. I used the factory restore method (since I didn't back up), and when I booted into it afterwards, the launcher menu came up and everything seems to be working...

EDIT 2:

Okay, few more issues. I can't log in to youtube - when I select "my channel" it just says "there was a problem authenticating." Also, there is no Gmail app or Market app, and no NookColorTools, but there is a NookTouchTools. In any case, with NookTouchTools I can't see any way to disable/enable non-market apps. Maybe I should try the root again?

EDIT 3:

Got it to work finally by installing the firmware update (I mistakenly assumed a new nook would come with the latest firmware - maybe add "check firmware number/install 1.1 firmware" to the instructions in case there are other idiots like me out there...) then redoing the root. Now all the apps are there. I can't do the youtube/gmail thing because it's my Dad's nook and I don't have his password, so I'll let him do that part. However, the market app doesn't seem to work at all, so I can't install one app like the instructions say. Do I need to do the youtube/gmail step first? If I can't get it working, is it really necessary or are third party app stores (amazon, appbrain, etc.) good enough? Thanks!

EDIT 4:

Sorry for the constant questions here. I've actually worked most of it out myself, but hopefully posting here will help someone in the future with the same troubles. Plus, it's kind of therapeutic... New problem: got my dad's password for his gmail account, so I logged into youtube with that. That worked fine. Then I synced gmail - it doesn't seem to want to sync fully. When I open the app, it says it's loading conversations, but then it just closes. Market opens now, but says "Server Unavailable. Please try again later." I am connected to wifi - opera browser works fine. Any ideas here? If not, maybe I'll stumble on something...
[Nook Touch Android Development] persichini:
Ok here's an interesting development... i can't change the wallpaper. It allows me to find the wallpaper.. to resize it but when i hit save it goes to the home screen but doesn't change the stock wallpaper... any ideas? do i have a messed up permission some where?
[Nook Touch Android Development] threebeers:
[Edit as of 1-3-12] Install worked fine on my refurb nook until I got to Market, which wouldn't show any apps. But after a couple of days, market apps suddenly appeared, installed one, then did the the vendor.apk reinstall per instructions, all is good. Patience everybody.

For those who can't get Youtube to work, confirm you have the correct date and time settings. I couldn't get Youtube to work on a hacked PPC last year and resetting the date on the device fixed it.

Over the long weekend I have installed and tested about 60 working apps from Market, Amazon store, and sideload. Opera Mini is great with mobile pages. NYT and Slate apps work, and look better than their mobile web pages. Gmail works fine. Pulse, Taptu, Tapatalk, RSS readers and Newsrepublic work. Astro and Titanium both work and do backup. An older version of Kindle app works (tried the current version but it double flashes every page). All the book reader programs work to varying degrees (still trying to choose). Thanks OP, great root package. With some effort NST is now by far the best eink reader for those who want to read, but do more than just read books. I'll keep my Kindle 3g for its send to kindle feature and 3g browsing, but that's about it.

My old question remains, though, is there an easy way to reversably prevent b&n push updates? I ask reversably, since who knows what good stuff rev 1.2 will bring, maybe a stock browser? With my Nook Color I just changed a system file extension and it did the trick. Specifically, on my Nootered Nook Color while in 2.1 I just renamed /etc/security/otacerts.zip and there have been no updates. Any ideas here? Don't want to mess with anything that breaks this great root. Thanks
[Nook Touch Android Development] persichini:
i have this issue also ... i spend 4 days getting it fixed... I used nook touch tools to wipe cache. i cleared app data using nook color tools, i installed the vender.apk... wiped cache.... uninstalled vender.apk there nook color tools settings... wiped cache... cleared app data... restarted atleast 15 times... and then yesterday it just worked... i have no idea if any of what i did fixed anything but it worked. i installed one app then reinstalled the fixed vender.apk.
