When I do the runmefirst.bat that file is not getting created. I tried to manually create the .android folder within my profile and it wouldn't let me. When I run it I get this.

"A subdirectory or file C:\Documents already exists.

Error occurred while processing: C:\Documents.

A subdirectory or file and already exists.

Error occurred while processing: and.

A subdirectory or file Settings\Administrator\.android already exists.

Error occurred while processing: Settings\Administrator\.android.

The system cannot find the path specified.

success!"

I will disect this even further. The first line says "C:\Documents already exists", well not really, documents and settings exist. Line 5 says "A subdirectory or file Settings\Administrator\.android already exists" I have to call BS on this one because I can't find it. Then line 7 confirms my conclusion and says "The system cannot find the path specified". And then finally it claims success, if this is success then I would hate to see a failure.

Do I need to rewrite the runmefirst.bat specific to me and take out all the wild cards?

This most recent attempt was on my XP 64-bit desktop. Looking back at my Win7 Starter Netbook it has the .android folder that is empty like you said. I'm going to attempt it on that system now.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

:):)I found a solution.:):)

The problem was that I didn't have a .android folder and associated adb_usb.ini file in it. I guess this is suppose to be created during the runmefirst.bat process but for some reason it didn't. So in order to get it go to nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB scrool down to the windows section, under section II. 2. follow the instructions up until but not includingh section III. Then continue with the rooting procedure as described by the developers.

Would like to give a shout out to BikerRick:cool:, your post led me in the direction to figuring out that I needed the adb_usb.ini file.

:):):):):):)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Darksun280:
Thanks That was my issue and I'm sure alot of other peoples. I figured out I didn't have that file before I saw your post but me creating it myself didn't work for some reason. That zip did perfectly though. I'll try and spread the word.

Still struggling

I've been following the thread while struggling to get the adb connection working. The first two computers I tried had previously been connected to android devices. I pulled an old Win XP box out that didn't have an adb history, and still cannot connect. I am able to install the drivers. I can repeat the installation of the drivers by using USBDeview to uninstall the NOOK entry. In Device manager, I have an "Android Phone-->Android ADB Interface" entry that says it's OK. The details screen shows: "USB\VID_2080%PID_0004\2014420058494003". But doing an "abd kill-server and then an "adb devices" shows no devices. I have an adb_usb.ini file in the normal path with 0x2080 in it. I have the nook in the develop settings screen with the two USB debug boxes checked, and the auto-mount not checked. Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm just wondering if there is something funky about my Nook tablet.

Thanks for the chance to put out my situation, and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

...Later:

I got it working on my original PC. Don't know how. All I can think of was timing on the speed in which I grabbed the Nook device after connecting the USB port and got it to load the driver. When it worked it showed a "composite ADB Interface" instead of just "ADB Interface". Pretty hoaky. Thanks for listening...

So, I went through everything and zergy didnt show my nook; even though after installing the drivers for the Nook<!> & changed it to the android device, so I pressed n for no and it went nowhere. I unplugged and started the process again. Now the nook doesn't show up in the device list anywhere. Not even as an android device. When my wife opens it up on christmas, I'll try this again, but I'm not getting my hopes up...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davewuvswaffles:
Ok, for the life of me, I cannot get these drivers to work properly.

Every time I try and install the drivers, the "Android Composite ADB Interface" comes up under "SAMSUNG Android Phone" in the device manager instead of under "Android Phones".

I've tried deleting the Samsung files through USBDeview and through regedit to no avail.

Consequently, when I try to use the Zergy bat, my nook comes up but is Offline and the script says it isn't a Nook.

Most frustrating rooting process I've experienced so far on 5 different android devices.

This worked for me on Win 7 x64

Oddly enough, this did it for me! Win 7 x64.

All, make sure you are checking to see that your device shows the USB Debugging icon at the bottom left next to the notifications. If not, toggle the check marks on USB Debugging.

I couldn't get it to work for the life of me... and then I did this, and noticed that USB Debugging came on.

Then, I used USBDeview and Uninstalled the USB Mass Storage that got auto installed, finally, I got the error from Windows that said it could not load the driver. From here, I saw the Nook(!) and could manually select the driver.

Note: When I tried to manually install the driver, I got an error that said that there was no x64 driver, so thought something was wrong. However, when I finally got the Nook(!) the drivers did work for x64.

Good luck all! This took way longer than I thought it would...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xavaholicx:
Wow... I was going crazy. How stupid of me not to do this. Thanks for the heads up - got everything working now thanks to this last little side note.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Everwalker2011:
i do exactly what above said. Additionally, i close the window automatic driver installation.(computer = properities = system configaration = hardware = say no to automatic install). Then, i disconnect the lan. Finally, window detect my nook tablet and install 'mass storage drive' again, and i use 'usbview' uninstall and auto install as USB drive again! it looped like this everytime.

I am so tired to try it and I dunno what step i did wrong. I tried 2 new computer with Win7 and came to the same result.

Sorry for bad writing as english not my native langauge.

Can anyone help me on the issue please?

FYI, i just restored 1.4.0 by SD card method sucessfully.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
you try not just uninstalling but also removing those drivers on the pc manually?

and yes, everyone needs to know that rebooting your tablet results in usbdebugg deactivation, EVEN IF IT SHOWS TO BE CHECKED. Every time you reboot you must uncheck and recheck usb debugging and uncheck automount. There is not fix for this that I know of.

How I got around this annoying USB Driver issue on Windows 7

Hey guys, after reading several of these posts I was finally able to figure this out. First I uninstalled the device in the device manager. It didn't give me an option to remove the drivers. That is fine. I just wanted it gone. It would then flash the NOOK Tablet device line for a moment before reverting when I plugged it back in. So don't even plug it back in yet.

Next I downloaded the USBDView (USB Device View) program mentioned by yumms (URL: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19719695&postcount=6). I downloaded the x64 version (since I am running 64-bit Win7). I unzipped it and right-clicked the executable selecting "Run as Administrator" to get the access I needed.

Once I had the program open I removed all references to NOOK, to USB Mass Storage Device, and to my HTC Android phone.

Finally, and I think this is the kicker (remember the flash I mentioned earlier, Windows was interceding where I didn't want it to), I changed the Hardware driver default settings for Windows.

I did this by:

1. Right-clicking "My Computer", clicking properties.

2. Then on the left clicking "Advanced system settings".

3. Then clicking the "Hardware" tab.

4. Click "Device Installation Settings".

5. Select "No, let me choose what to do".

6. Below that select "Never install driver software from Windows Update."

7. Click "Save Changes".

Now Windows should no longer get in your way. Plug the device back in and it will show up correctly now. Right-click the device and direct it to the USB drivers you downloaded and all will be well in the world.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Percy Dolarhyde:
I agree with you PThurmond, this was one of my problems on Windows 7 also. (although it could happen on Vista and XP also.)

I was fighting several issues last night before finally getting the USB drivers to work on a clean Windows XP system.

When using USBDeview on Windows 7 x64, it was functional up to the point of actually Uninstalling the Selected Device. Running it as an Administrator makes it actually execute the functions.

I went back and checked a few things this morning on my Windows 7 PC and got the USB Drivers working there too.

So to recap on four items to check/try to get the USB drivers functioning:

1. Check that Windows is not automatically installing a driver every time you plug in your Nook Tablet. Review the previous post from PThurmond for setting that function manually so you can assign the correct USB Drivers.

2. If trying to clean up by using USBDeview, run it as Administrator.

3. Make sure to recheck the Nook Tablet to make sure it continues to have USB Debugging checked and Auto Mount unchecked. Toggle USB Debugging off and back on again. Auto Mount gave me the only problems with reverting to the wrong state.

4. Try another computer if it is getting futile.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] acanfield:
Thanks to this thread I was finally able to see my Nook in device manager and get ADB to recognize it - so that I could root and disable OTA. Unfortunately I figured this out just after it upgraded to 1.4.1. At least I can now sideload apps again. Hopefully the workaround won't be disabled by a future upgrade :eek:

But I'd like to get back to 1.4.0 - I've already tried 4gb, 8gb and 16gb micro SD cards with the acclaim zip file with no success, though from other posts it appears a 1 or 2gb micro SD might be my last resort. Need to decide whether it's worth buying one to give it one last shot. I installed most of the applications I thought I'd want prior to the 1.4.1 upgrade. It's more the principle - I just want to have free choice of where I shop!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AnotherHiggins:
PThurmond: Thank you! That finally got it working for me.

It was maddening - after uninstalling the device (I didn't get an option to uninstall the driver either) and plugging the NT back in, it would show up correctly for a couple of seconds, but then Windows would "help" by assigning drivers.

The key was definitely that last step of changing the Device Installation Settings in Windows 7.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] edriuk:
cant install drivers.

Hi! do you have drivers for W7x32? not for x64? it is a big trouble fro me((((
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mtelesha:
I still have a problem. Windows 7 Home Premium still auto-loads the driver. I see a quick icon of /i\android_nook but then windows loads the generic driver.

1) I have set the Advance System Settings for devices not to be installed in update.

2) I have uninstalled anything android and mass storage with USBDeview

3) I have run runmefirst

4) I have made sure that usb debuging both buttons and unchecked automount

5) Windows shows it unrecognized then installed the drivers fort he nook and can't over install them

6) Nook&Zergy recongnizes my device

7) I'm Bald so no hair to pull out HELP.

What should I do if my NT is showing up as "android composite adb interface"?

I have already rooted it twice on two different PCs and the 1.4.1 update happened again. so i put in the "magic sd card" and factory rebooted it 8 times. I dont have another PC to do it on and it wont show up as "/!\ nook tablet" on either of mine.

ok, after combing through pages and pages of posts. after a few days of coming back to this and having to keep my advil bottle near by. i have finally got it to show up as an android composite ADB interface and it is listed when i run zergy, but when i enter Y for it showing up, it hangs where it says it needs to verify that i really do have a BnN NT. wtf now??? i noticed that when it gets that far, the "build.prop" file in the ntroot folder disappears, and if i try to run the batch file again without replacing the build.prop file, it actually decides that i do indeed have a BnN NT, but then stops because it can't find the build.prop file. i am almost out of advil... please help!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] The_Joe:
You have verified your running version 1.4.0 and have not received the 1.4.1 update?

If so, then I recommend a complete factory restore. This can cure so many random bits of stubbornness.

I would be curious if your problem would exist were you to try Snowball method or the walk through that allows you to keep root and update to 1.4.1....

I can post links if you need. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rdymrtnz:
i do indeed have it at 1.4.0. it had updated to 1.4.1, but i followed the steps to roll it back, and when it came back up the home button "N" would not respond, so i ended up doing the factory restore. once that was done, i started to attempt the root process, and ended up where i am now.

i suppose i can do the factory restore all over again. who knows, maybe that'll do it. just in case though, any other ideas?

by the way, thanks for the quick response! i really did not expect that due to the hour i posted. very much appreciated!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] The_Joe:
Insomnia leads me to the forum at all hours.

I forgot to mention, when youfactory restore you're device also erase and deregister it.

If that fails, your still having trouble, try snowball. The results can help us understand where the problem is.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Vol4Ever:
Newb here, but I'm in the same exact boat as rdymrtnz. I've spent a huge chunk of the weekend trying to do this myself with the aid of google and this site.

First problem was that stock NT was already 1.4.1. Got past that one pretty quick with a quick run to Best Buy to get a micro card & the Magic SD method. Worked first try. N button stopped working, but the full factory restore nailed that one. At that point I was on 1.4.0 headed for glory.

Second major problem was the good old "USB Mass Storage" driver issue. It took MOST of yesterday, but I was able to finally get the Android ADB device to show up (although I have yet to see the /!\ Nook). Successfully used the USB device viewer software to help. However, most of the reading I've done shows that I should be OK as long as ADB is showing. Next step was to install the hidden settings viewer and the tgps launcher. Both of those went in, and I can find them with the NT search app.

Now's where I'm stuck and going through Advil like my buddy. I've checked and unchecked options, both plugged and unplugged to the usb port. I've tried 3 different USB ports since I read there was some weird conflict between USB v3 and USB v2 ports. When the NT is plugged in, the little USB debug icon comes on like it is supposed to, and the "connected to USB" window does not pop up on the NT. It shows everytime as Android ADB in device manager. However, running the zergy bat file WILL NOT recognize the device. I've tried and tried and tried and tried to no avail, and it's driving me insane. I've read forums and posts until I'm almost cross eyed. Just can't figure out what I'm missing. Any ideas would be most appreciated before they have to haul me off in one of the white jackets!

Thanks for the Skype offer, but I think I'm good now. I'll start a new message if I come across anything else since further assistance requests won't belong in this root thread. Thanks again!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sgschwend:
Yes, the same thing happens with my Win7 setup. The first device manager cycle the Nook shows up as an unknown device (which is what we want) but then the manager takes a second pass and load the memory device driver.

I can delete the driver and the device manager will go out to the systems directory and pick up another and load it. I even found the windows driver changed permissions so I could rename it, but the device manager still found a way to reload a new copy. The little monster!

UPDATE: June 20,2012

I finally got the drivers installed and rooted. I added the method I used to the tips and tricks sticky. A short summary was it took pulling the USB cable as soon as the Device Manager listed the Nook correctly and a Combination USB driver needs to be present (about 2 seconds). Then the cable is reconnected and the root script needs to be instantly fired off before WIN7 removed the device. I can't say if the NOOK driver install is necessary (run me first script) in my case I messed with the system so much that I did not have a ! on my device, it may be I got the driver updated when I tried setting up the NOOK as a Legacy device. Lastly I used method to update the Device Manager to show all drivers and I found hundreds installed that needed to be removed, you got to look in about four places.

The phone only scans for wifi when you're on that page/setting. Sort of like the refrigerator light is there but only on when you open the door. There is virtually no effect on your battery.

Hey Guys

I'm on stock ROM ZSKK1 2.3.5 with KJ3 and KJ6. I've rooted using CF. Whenever I delete an app, the page where the icon was will have a missing icon bottom right. Why doesn't the first icon from the next page fill the space?

Also when I install new apps, it doesn't get rearranged alphebatically... just in the order of when it was added. This is bad because when I clear data on twlauncher to fix the issue, the homescreen gets reset too.
