[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Nooter:
The closest thing to a multiple accessory solution for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that I could find is this SD-card and USB adapter. I am also hunting for a something that will do HDMI/USB/SD card in one attachment.

I'm trying to build sleeker external storage by combining the official USB adapter with either a tiny 16GB flash drive or a tiny USB microSD card reader combined with a 16GB microSD card.

Has anyone used this combination, or something similar, with the 10.1?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] ellokomen:
I saw the Official HDMI adapter for galaxy tab 10.1 8.9 7.7 , it has an extra port for charging (in fact, it only works while charging) , if we could find a USB Hub that can charge the tab at the same time, maybe it could work.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] TheCodeBenders:
If there's interest in a DIY solution I might be able to cook up a quick PCB that would fit in an Altoids tin to do it. I'd be glad to release it on BatchPCB (http://batchpcb.com) or package it up for a FusionPCB run at SeeedStudios as an open source design with a digikey/mouser/arrow BOM if there's a preference.

UPDATED 12/23

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

1) Added automatic fixing of devicemanager.apk sql databases to prevent OTA root (thanks for the SQL tweak suggestions, Indirect)

2) Added otaban.sh script for those who are already rooted and just want to tweak the sql databases (you will need to put your device back in USB debug mode)

3) Added getroot.sh to just dump the nook back in to rooted/adb mode

INSTRUCTIONS

(Please follow these to the letter; over 500 people have downloaded this script and very few have reported issues)

On the NOOK

Disconnect from USB

Factory restore & initial setup

Browse to this:

http://goo.gl/vTNpJ

Click on notifications center, wait for the file to finish downloading.

Press on downloaded go_launcher_ex_v2.66.apk file

Select Complete action using package installer

It should say "install blocked"

Press settings

Tick unknown sources (press ok)

Pick Development

Tick USB debugging (press ok)

Tick the other USB debugging further down

Untick Automount

Back/Back

Connect the Nook to the MAC. On the nook you should see "USB debugging connected" in notifications center

On the MAC

Download the nooktablet-mac-root-0.6.zip file from http://goo.gl/qyYDB

Open Terminal, and change in to the directory where the zip file was downloaded. Unzip and cd in to the directory created. EG:

[B]cd ~/Downloads
unzip nooktablet-mac-root-0.6.zip
cd nooktablet-mac-root-0.6[/B]

Start the rooting script:

[B]./go.sh[/B]

Sometimes adb doesn't wake up immediately. Just try go.sh again if it says it can't find your Nook and you are sure it's in debug mode and plugged in properly. Also don't connect via a USB Hub.

When the script is finished, it should say "Done. Unplug from USB now"

The Nook will reboot.

You are now rooted and the following is auto-installed for you

1) Go Launcher Ex (Rooted App Launch/Desktop)

2) Market Place (The Android "App Store")

3) Button Savior (adds tiny button on right of screen for nagivation home/back etc)

4) Home Catcher (makes 2 clicks of the Nook N bring up the new Launcher)

5) Nook Color App Menu (allows you to install sideloaded apps to the Nook home screen/Library)

6) Dolphin HD Browser (Replacement web browser)

In addition, some tweaks have been made to prevent OTA updates from working, preserving your root state.

trying this now..

thanks a lot! i spent 2 hours last night trying to get the other method working and it gave me the headache of the gods.

edit: that mediafire link is crawling for me (dl is at like .2kb/s) can anyone mirror it for others who may have similar issues?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
Worked beautifully! Where can I send a donation to?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
Tempting and appreciated as that is, there is no neeed. Good luck,
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] atm0sphere:
i can confirm this works guys :)

yes.. someone please start a thread and aggregate donations for some roms on this bad boy.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
You are a good man. Thanks again for all of your help and great work. You're an invaluable asset to this community.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] marktechmc:
Thanks for the tutorial. It works extremely well!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdubr:
This worked great, thanks!

I had one minor glitch. I was doing this on an old MBP running Leopard and for whatever reason it wouldn't create the ~/.android directory when I ran the script.

I created the directory manually and re-ran the script and it worked perfectly! Thanks again!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
Ah, I just looked at the script, I realized now I missed out the mkdir -p ~/.android in it, hence your issue. I will likely fix that and update the script/zip file when I get a minute.

I'm currently considering whether to make the script install busybox at the moment. I don't really need it myself, but I see other people might.

Part of the problem is that if I develop the script any further I ought to test it before releasing it... but I really don't want to keep re-rooting my nook. I want to actually use the damn thing!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdubr:
I totally get that. I had just gotten done side-loading tons of stuff and getting my launcher screens setup the way I wanted and then I saw your script and thought about it for a day before breaking down and wiping my NT and starting over.

It was worth it! Thanks again!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lanceot:
I'm confused... rooting on PC using other method didn't work for me and now I'm stumped on Mac as well.

This part stumped me:

unzip it

cd in to nooktablet-mac-root-0.4 directory

mkdir -p ~/.android

./go.sh

Can someone explain the steps in greater detail? I tried runing the adb fiel via terminal, it goes through the script but does nothing on installing files to the device.

Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kisstek:
Minor problems encountered

I followed the directions and it mostly worked. First, had the problem with the missing:

[ ! -d ~/.android ] && mkdir ~/.android

Then I wasn't sure about the step where it says to click on the golauncher icon in the notifier. I clicked on the LauncherPro.apk entry and choose the package installer. That seemed to work but I'm not sure that's what you meant.

Then found out I should have unplugged the USB cable before rebooting otherwise the launcher chooser is covered by some wrning message. (I can't remember the exact wording now.)

Installed Button Savior. Not sure what that does. I can't figure out where it's suppose to be on the screen.

And worst of all, LauncherPro keeps crashing on me, dumping me back into native Nook mode. That requires a reboot.

But despite all that, I'm happy and will now probably keep my NT.

Big thanks!!

Mike
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
Literally type

unzip nooktkablet-mac-root-0.4.zip

cd nooktablet-mac-root-0.4

mkdir -p ~/.android

./go.sh
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
Launcher: that's what I meant.

Unplug: if you dont before you reboot it probably wants to media sync

Button savior: installs a tiny button on the right of the screen. Gets you back/home

LAUNCHER: certain things crash for me. Cant change dock shortcuts for example

I'm sure this will all get smoother in time. Pretty good already though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kisstek:
Thanks. I found the little tiny button savior icon while trying out an ssh client. It shows up well on a black background. :-)

And that does make it real easy to get back and forth between Android and Nook. Thanks again for making this easy and the button savior recommendation.

I may have to break down and try the Amazon store now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mlb107:
Hey! Noob here. Thanks so much for this! Just have a few questions...is this a permanent fix? I currently have the amazon appstore, but not android, so is this going to be set up the same way (i.e. have to click search and then go launcher to find the apps)?

When I connect to my mac, the usb debugging prompt will come up right away (like the screen for file xfer normally does)?

After unzipping, are those instructions to enter into the mac's terminal command prompt? Sorry, that's where u lost me! Is "cd" short for something? Thanks again for your help. Just want to make sure I do this right the first time. I think swype is the first thing I will install. Hating this keyboard!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sigilist:
First, I want to openly thank t-r-i-c-k for this. Even with little to no knowledge of this kind of stuff, after futzing with terminal for a while I got it to work in two tries. Finally, freedom from another lock-in service/device. But I am having a little glitch that I don't understand.

It's intermittent, but now and then I'm getting a crash on the launcher. It happens when trying to adjust settings/preferences. No big deal as it comes right back, and maybe its the app itself. Anyone else facing this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdubr:
I installed the ADW Launcher because LauncherPro wouldn't let me change the dock shortcuts. ADW is letting me modify just about everything--dock shortcuts, icons, etc., without issue.

I get an occasional crash but not as many as before.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
ADW seemed slow to me. I just switched to Launcher Ex anf thsts is working nicely. No crashes yes.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] boomsteak:
Yeah, im a noob, dont hurt me.

First off I am a noob. But I hope to be as manly as all of you someday.

So I am capable of accomplishing all of the steps involving the nook, but I cannot seem to do the Terminal/Mac part.

I open terminal. and then I dont know what to do. I have tried going to the nooktablet-mac-root-0.4 folder as the guide states, but I have a feeling I am doing something wrong. I use cd nooktablet-mac-root-0.4 but when I press enter it says no such file or directory. So then I attempt to use /Users/USERNAME/Desktop/nooktablet-mac-root-0.4 and in this case it says : is a directory.

But then I attempt to use:

mkdir -p ~/.android

./go.sh

but all i get is: -bash: ./go.sh: No such file or directory.

Basically I have no idea what to do up to the part that involves the terminal. I have all of the files on my computer, but I cant seem to figure the rest out. I cant seem to locate the nooktablet-mac-root-0.4 folder using terminal and on top of that I dont know how to use: "mkdir -p ~/.android

./go.sh"

After that.

Please help. Yes I am a noob, but any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ylixir:
$ cd ~/Desktop/nooktablet-mac-root-0.4

"~" is a shortcut way of writing "/Users/USERNAME"
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdavisable:
Thanks for making this! Worked great on the first try.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
Looks like you may have missed the unzip step. If you downloaded to your desktop, open a terminal and basically do

cd ~/Desktop

Then pick up my original instructions starting with "unzip.."
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] boomsteak:
This worked! For some reason the file could not be opened until i added ~/

Thanks a lot!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lanwarrior:
Thanks for the help!

A couple of quick questions:

1). How do you go back to the "secret" settings for USB Debugging, etc.?

2). Is there any way to access the settings to add Google accounts?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kgingeri:
T-r-i-c-k ROCKS!

Saaaaaa-weeeeeeeeet!!!

T-r-i-c-k you rock!! Good work - worked fine for me.

I was already rooted, so I just downloaded, unzipped, connected the tablet, ran go.sh and had market.

:D !! VERY NICE !! :D

---------- Post added at 04:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 AM ----------

What you want is 'AppMenu' -> http://suipre.com/AppMenu.apk
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lanwarrior:
Thanks for the link!

However, it doesnt show the Google account setup. I need to disable Calendar syncing, so need to go back to the account setup.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
Try quick sync settings in the Marketplace

Home screen?

Hi it seems to have worked great, but I noticed one gotcha.

When I press the nook button (the big N) and hit home, it takes me to the original nook home. From there I can't get back to launcher pro unless I reboot.

Any ideas? I tried marking launcher pro as default when I first unlocked the nook with the slider, but that does not seem to help.

Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
That's one of the reasons I suggested installing Button Savior from the Market place. If you did that you have a tiny icon on the right side of the screen which will expand when touched and offer you a home button that'll start the launcher up. Another alternative is to install the Home Button Catcher by gojimi, mentioned in another thread. Since I wrote those instructions I notice GoLauncher Pro crashes a lot and I personally switch to using Go Launcher Ex which is rock solid. You can find that in the Market too.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] themusicwave:
Thanks

Button Savior works great! Now I can switch from eh launcher prohome screen to the nook one. That is quite nice. Thanks!

One other thing I noticed is settings. There doesn't seem to be a way to be able to get into the standard android settings.

For example, I installed the gmail app from the market. However, I can't turn on account sync because I can't get to that setting. I'm stuck hitting refresh to check for new mail.

Any ideas there?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zambien:
If you download and install anycut you can get there by creating a new shortcut of type action. Then choose the first accounts and sync entry.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lanty:
HELP me anyone.

I'm really stuck with the

unzip it

cd in to nooktablet-mac-root-0.4 directory

mkdir -p ~/.android

./go.sh

I'm completely lost and have no clue on what to do.

ANYONE want to help me out.

Do i open a terminal and then type?????????????? If so what lines of the text do I type?

My nook says....USB debugging connected. Is this right.

thanks for any help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] overcrash:
First of all thanks to t-r-i-c-k and the guys for the hard work and sharing.

Just to check, is this a permanent root?

My personal experience as a tablet rooting noob

Some changes to the initial rooting instruction based on my noob experience, hope this can help other newbies like me.

Instructions - Courtesy of T-r-i-c-k, I simply added on

On the NOOK

Disconnect from USB

Factory restore & initial setup (You can do a hard reset by pressing and holding both the side switch and the home (N Switch) in the center.)

Browse to this:

[see initial post]

When it's done, click on notifications center

Press on downloaded apk file

Complete action using package installer

It should say "install blocked"

Press settings

Tick unknown sources (press ok)

Pick Development

Tick USB debugging (press ok)

Tick the other USB debugging further down

Uncheck Automount

Back/Back

Connect the Nook to the MAC. On the nook you should see "USB debugging enabled" in notifications center

On the MAC

Download the nooktablet-mac-root-0.4.zip file [see initial post]

unzip the file.

copy the zip FOLDER to your desktop.

Go into terminal.

Type the following exactly in terminal

cd ~/Desktop

cd nooktablet-mac-root-0.4 directory

mkdir -p ~/.android

./go.sh

Sometimes adb doesn't wake up immediately. Just try go.sh again if it says it can't find your Nook and you are sure it's in debug mode and plugged in properly.

If you can't create /.android yourself, simply edit go.sh with textedit, add in the like - mkdir -p ~/.android - in the 2nd line or something iirc.

On the NOOK

Click on Notification center again, and press on the Golancher Icon again. Install the Goauncher

Reboot

After reboot, slide to unlock and it should ask "complete action using..". Pick LauncherPRO

Open Marketplace which should be on the launcher screen

Sign in with your google credentials, attach the device to your account

Install button savior from the Marketplace.

Browse to [see iniitial post]

Click notifications and watch for Amazon appstore apk download

Click and install.

You should now be live with Android Market & Amazon Market.

I hope this will aid the other guys.

Ok back to my question, is this a permanent root?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raye1010:
Amazing!

My NT is on the way. Just walk around and found this amazing thread!! Thanks!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
It's permanent in so much as it withstands reboots, like the Windows and Linux threads which achieve the same. There is some talk about how it may be wiped once B&N push a software update. I understand there are options that may stop that happening - stop as in stop the entire software update, that is.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Shatterbox:
Hi t-r-i-c-k thanks for the work you did on this, while it took some tinkering around on my part I got it to work however I'm so unfamiliar with the Android OS that I'm kinda lost.

Just wondering if an Erase and Deregister on the device will let me start from scratch again? If so any suggestions on what threads to read for this noob here?

I'm very good with iOS stuff jail breaking and what not on ip4, aptv and iPod's but this is a new venture for me. I got this mostly for my kids to play with and for myself to mess around on.

Thanks again for all your work!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tjac357:
so, my su binary is 2.1.3 and it won't update. i tried the app fix from the market and it wouldn't work still, since it said everything is fine. any ideas?

edit: also root explorer force closes
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
The erase and re-register won't wipe the root. You need to do a factory restore for that. See my other recent thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
I can't get my binary to update either, but I don't have any problem with root explorer.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] overcrash:
Thanks t-r-i-c-k for answering my query. Theres as permanent as it gets for me. More than good enough.

Lets jusr hope B&N does nt do such a stupid thing.. it will kill all future enthusiasts' interest on their future product.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] overcrash:
Go to the superuser app, clear data, restart app, update. Thats what i did, work flawlessly for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tjac357:
I got frustrated with that so just downloaded the superuser 3.0.7 apk put it in my dropbox opened it on my nook and everything was able to update.

to fix root explorer i had to install busy box and it is working now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
This is going to be a stupid question - what "MAC" stands for in the title "Noot Tablet - Easy root & Market on MAC"?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tjac357:
Mac as in the type of computer that Apple makes
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] overcrash:
Hi tjac, can i check with you , what does busybox actually do?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tjac357:
It actually didn't fix root explorer for me, it must have been a coincidence. I'm pretty sure, but could be wrong that it lets devs run more scripts. I know I need it on my rooted lg revo but this tablet it may not be required at this stage of development.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kes00601:
Thanks for the post. I had already rooted on a work PC, however I pulled the Nook Color App Menu apk out of the zip file and installed that. Finding it quite useful.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] grasshoppah:
USB debugging disabled after reboot?

The steps described work fine for me. I've noticed that USB debugging is disabled after the next reboot. I'd like to be able to run logcat, sideload apps, etc. is there anyway to re-enable USB debugging after the device has already been rooted and restarted?

The device does continue to mount but 'adb devices' does not list any attached devices.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
You can install Anycut from the market. Start a new short cut, pick activity, and then look for thedevelopment or applications int he menu. I think it's one of those.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lanwarrior:
I am getting Google Framework force close after restart. Do I need to reinstall this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ylixir:
I get the same thing, but it only comes up when i reboot, and everything seems to work fine. I haven't really given it much thought ;-)

Don't fix it if it isn't (horribly) broken?

The only thing that this issue creates is sometimes my widgets become unusable. It will show "Problem Loading" an I have to recreate everything.

Getting apps to work

I desperately want to get the SlideIT keyboard to work. It installs, but is not present on the standard settings page, and will not activate automatically from the SlideIT app. It works on my CyanogenMod Color Nook. How do I get the "real" Android settings menu?

Also, what about the issue of the size of the partitions for non-B&N apps? I heard rumors that they can repartition it for you, but is it necessary to go to a B&N store? Its a good drive from here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
I know a B&N manager. He told me last week that his store, at least, did not have any Tablet bootable cards for repartioning. He confirmed they had them for Nook Color at some point but said they were rarely asked for. In fact he wasn't sure he still had them somewhere. If that is a typical scenario I bet they dont bother again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] partaker:
After exchanging NTs, I rooted using the OP's updated zip and script file. Unfortunately, it seems that many fewer apps are available in the Market (Facebook, Google+, TweetDeck, etc.) than when I used the 0.4 script previously, and Root Explorer is FC'ing a lot. Anyone else having these same issues?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:


Facebook was never innthe market for me at all. I use root explorer without issue. Did you factory restore? Or just reset?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tjac357:
Root explorer still a no go for me too. It force closes, I'll get the error it displays in a bit
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] t-r-i-c-k:
What version do you have? Mine is 2.17.2. Presumably you have alegit copy?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tjac357:
Yup, from the market. The error I get is "The application Root Explorer (process com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." It works maybe once per install/uninstall process the goes into force closing.
