ADB push, pull, shell commands not working

Hello Albert --

Thanks for the videos and for putting everything in one place. My problem is that ADB won't do anything except start/kill server and list devices. The drivers appear to be installed correctly and I do get this encouraging result from "adb devices":

List of devices attached

2015040142364002 devices

On the other hand, push, pull, and shell commands just sit indefinitely with no output returned. I have had no trouble installing such things as tgps_launcher, ES File Explorer, and NT Hidden Settings. The Nook displays its version as 1.4.0.

I am running Win7 64-bit. USBDEVIEW shows the following:

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

David

Anyone got a mirror for this? The link is broken, I've waited more than the 3 days and I have emailed and not received an email back.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RandomPooka:
What exactly are you looking for a link for? I have the 8/16GB version 4.7 file and the 2.3.1.1 TWRP touch recovery zip that you can flash from there. I don't have any ROMs handy for it, though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] OrangeTang:
I'm looking for the "SD_ROOT_NT16or8gbV4_7" File. I plan on using CM nightlys for a rom, but for right now I'm just trying to root.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I'd suggest you try the rooting method posted at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31271965&postcount=240, which also uses CWM recovery running on a bootable SDcard and which contains relatively the most current rooting content package.

See also http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for more pointers/tips.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] OrangeTang:
I already attempted with this one and was unable to get it to work after 3 or 4 tries. I have an 8 gig Nook tab, I'm not sure if it works correctly for it. Nothing I have tried yet is able to get the CMW SD card to boot, my tablet just refuses to turn on with the SD card in it. Any idea why?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Many NTs (including mine) will only boot off SD card from a power-off state

and upon insertion of a powered USB cable

.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] OrangeTang:
I know. Thanks for the link. I ended up just building my own bootable SD and now it works. I have no idea why I was unable to make any of the other premade ones work. But either way, this works out and It should all be good now. Thank you.

404 on DropBox link

Hmm, could you rehost the files? I get a 404 on that dropbox link
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
you are in debugging on tablet? and you have drivers installed right?... there may be a conflict on that pc, you try another pc?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] oneeyedman:
Thanks for taking a look at this.

Debugging: Yes, the tablet is in debugging mode (both check boxes for this, though I know the top one is the one that matters), set from tgps_launcher and double-checked. Auto-mounting is also turned off.

Drivers: I suspect there is something funny about the drivers, because USBDeview (see URL in original post -- remove the spaces) shows the "Android Composite ADB Interface" as Connected = No. There is also a "USB Composite Device" that shows Connected = Yes and other information. However, if I disable or remove it, the Android interface also disappears.

Computer: I tried this first on a Win7 64-bit laptop, and the drivers ended up crashing the system whenever they load -- classic blue screen. I am having better luck on a VM in Virtualbox (host system Debian) also running Win7 64-bit, and I can also roll it back as needed. The screenshot is from this VM. ADB works when I ask it to list devices, though sometimes it shows as "offline" and I have to unplug/replug the cable to make it show "device".

Has anybody else seem this duplication/dependency of the two non-storage 2080 devices?

Thanks,

David

Also: Sometimes, after verifying that I am using a Nook, the Nook&Zergy.bat will get further along and say that it cannot find the build.prop file:

Could not find: C:\Users\dwrob\Desktop\Nook&Zergy\build.prop
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
Maybe you didn't extract everything the first time? Try deleting all files and redownload. I have already had new users verify that my zip files are successful.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Pyxel:
Albert,

Thank you for a fantastic video walk-through (nice Ninja Turtle pants, btw). One question: I applied the latest Nook Zergy update while following your video and it asked if I wanted to block OTAs. I said "yes" even though your video did not show that step. Do I still need to perform the Titanium method you demonstrated or does the fact that my device info shows 9.9.9 enough to block the OTAs?

Thanks,

a noob
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
999 means ota blocked
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Pyxel:
Thanks!

Thanks again, Albert. Much appreciated. A donation is coming your way. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mr185:
runmefirst.bat

Both Nook&Zergy7_5 and usbdrivers have a runmefirst.bat.

Step 5 says to extract both zip files to the desktop or to a folder.

Whichever is exctracted second will over write the first.

Is this ok, or is one preferred.

Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
right, the one from nook zergy would be preferred.

SuperUser not Rooted

Thanks Albert. One question. I have the Superuser Icon and everything works just great. However busybox and titanium backup indicate that I'm not rooted and won't install. Used es file explorer and re-installed titanium and busybox. As indicated everything else works just fine. Suggestions?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
did you actually follow the root process with the video or did you just try and install the superuser apk file?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] St8Wkr:
I followed the video all the way through except the last portion of zergy I indicated no and the NT did not reboot. I did get the superuser icon and show the OTA version. I loaded the amazon market and installed all my previous programs. So I'm not sure if this is a true root or not???
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
perfect. indirect's script doesnt reboot unless you remove N menu. No biggie. Reboot it yourself ;) Good job following instructions. Glad it worked ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
I am repacking and reuploading file as we speak. That file is the go launcher apk included in Indirect's root nook Zergy. I am packing the file differently this time. instead of putting a zip in a zip, i will have it already unzipped and in a folder. So now the folders will just have to be copied and pasted. Also, I have now included a readme instruction file with new instructions since unzipping secondary files are no longer required. Should be up soon.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Engineer2b:
Stuck at step 11: es_file_explorer.apk

Hi Albert,

I followed your video instructions, am back to version 1.40, downloaded ES file explorer but it gives me an error when I try to execute it. A little black window pops up at the top saying "Cannot open file", then goes away. There wasn't an option that enabled me to change the security settings like shown in the video. Any ideas?

Downloading via the FileFactory was problematic. It didn't go nearly as fast as you show it in the video. I'm wondering if this delay gives B&N enough wireless on time to transfer something that disrupts the process. You might consider another method of making files availble for download.

Thanks for your efforts.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
you can also download the file by simply doing an internet search for "es file explorer apk"

back to your problem, did you use package installer or was it not prompted?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Engineer2b:
It was not prompted.

---------- Post added at 03:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 AM ----------

It looks like the file is corrupted. I did what you suggested, internet search, downloaded from elsewhere and it worked; I got thepackage installer prompt.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
thanks for info, will test it out

Tested it and it works just fine. I apologize for the 3rd party download site for the file, but it was a necessity since everyone downloaded so much from my dropbox that they penalized my account and removed public access privileges. So I had to do this to provide the file. Sorry for the delay in download.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
Hey man. Thanks for the awesome work done here. Quick question, you going to do a guide for creating our own roms on this wonderful device? I've tried looking around but I'm unable to make heads nor tails of it. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xPhoenix777:
Do it! I was nervous at first, but its so simple to root and to restore.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
I updated original post with how it should look, I will try and take a screen shot next and post it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
Finalized my Root SD cards. Check the OP, I am still compiling the images and making videos. Otherwise that product is complete.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] code_311:
Lets see if I got this strait, you can create the sd card without the tablet correct? Or is it important to have the sd card in the NT while writing the image?

I do not have access to the tablet now, but I do have the files and a micro-sd usb card reader. I would like to make the bootable card ahead of time, then use it with the tablet later this weekend.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
That is correct
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Anon9mouz:
I should know this as much as I been lurking and stuck to these threads but I don't see in op how big the SD has to. Be bc I remember it only have to have 50 mb so if that's still the case then great bc I have a lil 256 mb I think that will be perfect to finally open up the book out of back charge and root and recovery. Just be wait on this CM7 so I can have a full Android tablet and not a barns and noble tab lol

Thanks a bunch, Albert!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] csd181:
Agree with previous post. I finally rooted my Nook. However, I am getting a force close of Gmail. Everything is working good. Anyway to fix that problem.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] brianem:
This worked perfectly, thanks! I do have one question though.

When I originally rooted on 1.4.0, I had a nook library application and store app icons in the app drawer while using adw/go launcher. After wiping and using this quicker method however, I'm not sure how to access those things without launching the nook bar (n button). It's only one extra click, but I'd kind of like to have the library on the adw dock. Is there a way to add them in?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
did you install from clean BN factory or another root? is this fixed?

i dont recall ever being able to do what you are saying with a rooted device. I always just used the N button to access the barnes and noble content. I will look into this when I have time.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sac's Droid:
Albert I was wondering if by any chance you could mirror your files to any other site other than filefactory. I have been trying to download your files for 4 days now and simply can't do it
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] insanity213:
Same here, I'm getting a whopping 40k a sec (and I'm on a 100 meg fiber connection with plenty of overhead). I'd be more than happy to mirror on my VPS (files.devphone.org). I mirror a bunch of Samsung Android stuff there right now. All direct downloads, no ads, no bull. In fact, there's no HTML really, its all directory browsing because I'm lazy :)

@csd181 it doesnt sound like you are using the newest root method. are you using 4.5?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] csd181:
Albert,

I am using 4.5 root method. Also, can i backup my nook on a separate card and use that as a recovery to flash.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
yes. i show that in video
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] csd181:
Albert,

I have restored the Nook based on your backup image. Thank you very much for your help. Your video also helped me quite a bit.

Also, is it possible to have the barnes and noble setup along with the rooted setup with the adw launcher?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] brianf21:
Home manager will allow you to switch between the default launcher and the adw launcher.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] brianem:
It was definitely possible, though I don't recall which method I originally used. It was prior to 1.4.1 though. No biggy either way, it was mostly just a question in-case I was missing something totally obvious.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
thats is weird. well, you can use the sd card to boot into CWM like this, then you can use a second sd card to flash the restore rom? have you tried that?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
So I used this method step by step to root my NT and it worked just fine. I formatted my sd card afterwards so that I could use it like normal, worked just fine. Then a day later the new cm7 DL comes out and as a noob im wondering what would be the easiest way to get CWM back working in order to boot that. Im quite a noob so please keep it in english.

Thanks xda

Looking forwards to your help

-Silente
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Download the recovery installer app by indirect from his thread here in development section , that application will let you install CWM internally (IT REPLACES STOCK RECOVERY) so you can boot into it anytime you want. Just please if you ever install stock recovery back do not press reboot in recovery button because you can't boot into stock recovery.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
K thanks. So if I install this recovery CWM app then once I run it I wont be able to get back to nook stock?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
Srry for the double post. But are there any ways I could screw this up that I should avoid?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Once you have CWM you can flash CM7 , stock and in a future CM9 the times you want between all of them , that is the beauty of it.

Sent from XDA premium using my Nook Tablet :P
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
So I can use indirects recovery app from within cm7 too? Also anything I should avoid as to not screw things up?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Follow the instructions and everything should be just fine just after you press the install CWM button wait 10 seconds for it to install good give it sometime, then you're good to boot into it.

Sent from XDA premium using my Nook Tablet :P
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Hmm you must have CWM installed internally or booting from sdcard in order to flash CM7 , I suppose you're in stock use the app , install CWM , boot into it and then flash CM7 . Don't forget to make a backup of your system once in CWM : backup & restore> backup before flash any other ROM

I'll apologize in advance for the n00b question, but B&N beat me to the punch with the OTA. I hadn't installed the blocker yet and 1.4.1 broke my root. Can I just run this process again using the directions for 1.4.1? Or do I need to run some other process first?

Thank you in advance.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
Yes. Or you can use this card to access cwm and just flash a rom
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gregcorliss:
I successfully rooted using the instructions with only one small issue and that was getting CWM to come up. I had to resort to plugging it in and holding power and home button to get it to come up.

I wanted to try CM7 out when I went to put it on my sd card, it said there was not room left so, I formatted my sd card, stuck the cm7 rom on and now my issue is, It won't boot to CWM. I tried with and without the power cord plugged and and can't get it to come up. Does it need files that was on that SD card originally to boot into CWM? If so, how do I get the partition large enough so I can load CM7 inside also?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TerminusEst:
nevermind, I may have figured it out
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
use recovery rom flasher to flash CWM recovery and then reformat sd card using nook. Load rom onto SD card, then use recovery flasher to reboot into recovery and flash Rom on SD
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fyrmd:
Great job on this, made the SD card, loaded the zip and I was rooted! Two problems though, when I hit the Market icon, nothing happens and when I use go to the internet, I get switched back to B&N launcher even though ADW launcher is set as the default.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
OTA block by Indirect's 9.9.9 Titanium Patch and CWM recovery flash

I believe that 9.9.9 patch prevents the file from every being downloaded and I believe the custom recovery prevents the File from ever installing. Any OTA that comes down from Barnes and Noble Requires STOCK recovery to install.

I also prove my Root SD cards will Root the 1.4.2 updated 16gb Nook Tablet!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] evolute8:
does this work on 1.4.2?

i forgot to block OTA when i was at 1.4.1 and it automatically updated to 1.4.2 now...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LiuAnshan:
Right above you...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Informative video Albert well done. Is it there any other notable changes with new update 1.4.2? apart of the issue with google calendar sync?, what about sideload feature?

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
I didnt spend too much time on it. I looked at the barnes and noble release disclosure for the updates and it said minor changes... and thats it. I did notice that the browser launcher wont even try to open an apk file when downloaded, doesnt even give you a chance to sideload or present error saying cant load apps unless from barnes and noble. The browser just flat out says "file not supported". I think it was just another attempt to unroot people and further block sideloading and make rooting more hassle than it is worth... I didnt notice any other changes, but I more just shot the video to prove the file still works for the doubters. I had no desire to linger any longer. Immediately restored my CM7 rom ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
gotcha, thanks. So no worth update, i was expecting a change of mind from them too bad 'cause stock system does need some enhancement as sometimes when you open an app it freeze and you have to reboot to make it work again other than that its "ok".
