YouTube and Gmail are linked -- or at least can be. Go to YT in your desktop browser, and you should be able to sign in using your Gmail credentials. (Google is assimilating EVERYTHING!)

You do need to link to Google for Market functionality, so yes, you probably do need to do it in practical terms.

The "8 failed boot" process should let you reload the default firmware your unit shipped with if you need to get out of a bootloop situation.

Just a reminder that a FULL IMAGE BACKUP is strongly recommended before you start monkeying with too much, ideally on Day One. Unlike other NOOK devices, you can badly, if not permanently, screw up a NST if you wipe out some system information. Be sure to read through the various threads before going too far!
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
So I should restore my nook to factory? Will that do anything to the partitions?
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
If you're stuck, it's an option. My understanding is that:

The "8 failed boots" procedure will restore the firmware your NST shipped with.

The "Unregister and Wipe" procedure from settings will wipe all user data off the internal system.

I was not able to manually update from v1.1.0 to v1.1.2 if previously rooted. Not sure if that's normal, but I had a lot of cruft on my unit, so just did both procedures. Files on my uSD were untouched.
[Nook Touch General] Guyman2:
I'm following your guide and see that making a backup is recommended. I would post in that forum, but as a new user here, i am not allowed to there. they say to follow these instructions:

BACKUP/RESTORE N2E Win7

Grab a copy of Roadkil's free DiskImager for backup and restore.

and a copy of free MiniTool Partition Wizard at:

Boot nook with noogie.img : nookdevs.com/NookTouch_Rootin (the "Rooted Forever" screen) and connect to your computer via USB.

Use DiskImager to copy your Nook partition to a file, being sure to select "Physical Disk" in the drop down list.

However when i follow this step I get to a link that doesn't work. Thus I cannot backup my nook:

Boot nook with noogie.img

Any ideas? Thanks. Again, I'd post the link that wont work but the damn forum wont let me post outside links until i do 8 more posts. This is frustrating as HELL. But you should be able to find out what my problem is from the details i am so kindly allowed to post.

Or maybe I shouldnt bother backing up, since as another user pointed out, after a few failed boots it automatically will store its original firmware. What do you guys think?
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
You need to be sure that you use a program to write noogie.img to an SD card (I'll post a link to one when I have time), and be sure that you do not write the image to the SD card when it is in the Nook! You need to use an external card reader. After that, you just turn your Nook off, put the SD card into your Nook, and turn the Nook on.
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
Thanks guys for taking time to make these posts. This should help me in figuring all this stuff out.
[Nook Touch General] Guyman2:
so do i need to root the nook BEFORE backing it up? isnt that what noogie.img does?
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
A quick update: There do seem to be some annoyances if using existing TouchNooter versions to root B&N 1.1.2. If you haven't already done so, and aren't suffering from the wireless issue, you might hold off a bit until the exact implications are better known.

If you've already done it, it shouldn't be the end of the world either. :)

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

No. Noogie just exposes the normally inaccessible NOOK partitions so you can back them up. Noogies doesn't root anything. It's recommended to make a backup of your pristine device BEFORE rooting, in case anything goes wrong.
[Nook Touch General] Guyman2:
Thanks! How do i get noogie.img? the link on the backup page doesn't work and I dont want to get the wrong version. Any idea how long it takes for the next rooting version to come out?
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
It does look like the download link to noogie.img.gz is broken, even on the redirected Nook Devs page.
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
Yeah, that article is removed. Does anyone have a noogie.img they can slap in dropbox public?
[Nook Touch General] Guyman2:
Man, they dont make this easy. The direction suck, links aren't working, sheesh. Unlocking the original iPhone was easier! I sure hope this gets updated somewhat soon.
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
I have noogie.img somewhere on my PC, I'll get it uploaded in about an hour.
[Nook Touch General] Guyman2:
Thanks, i hope you can find that file. Since the directions are so vague, do i need a special program to put the file onto an SD card? Or just drag and drop? Thanks. I really hope to get this completed soon.
[Nook Touch General] harunaku:
hi bobstro,

i tried restoring my backup to my nook to update it to 1.1.2. i followed everything as said in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1142983

but after the restore process, my nook still has the android but it is as it was in the beginning, i mean like a fresh rooted nook(all apps gone).

is this supposed to happen? is it ok, if i update my nook with android in it?
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
You don't need to follow those instructions, it's all automated now. You only need noogie.img to create a backup now. Now to find that image...

Edit: Here you go!
[Nook Touch General] Guyman2:
Thanks for the file. so i dragged and copied the file to a microSD, turned my nook fully off, put SD in, booted, and it still showed the Read Forever screen and booted like normal. Nothing happened. Now what.
[Nook Touch General] osowiecki:
Use this :

https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer

To write .img file to the SD.

It will destroy all the data on SD.

Put SD in NST.

Turn NST ON.
[Nook Touch General] Guyman2:
I finally got noogie to work. It booted to the Rooted Forever Screen and didn't do anything automated. So I followed the "Guide" and used Roadkill software. I "think" I chose the right Physical Drive to copy said (1.82GB, was the only small drive size, 2 drives said NOT READY though so I hope I chose the right one), but how do you confirm this. This whole process is so piece mealed its frustrating. And nothing seems concrete. I hope they make this process easier to understand or write decent guides in the future.

So now the question is do I try rooting my 1.1.2? or wait for a new root version first?
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
It should be exactly as it was at the moment you did the backup, yes. That is the reason for doing it: In case you screw up. Mind you, you did not have to restore in order to upgrade, but yes, you can upgrade to 1.1.2 now.

The backup is just for insurance if something goes wrong. You don't have to restore if everything goes well.
[Nook Touch General] tehriddler:
I rooted 1.1.2 using MinimalTouch beta5. Is it normal that the Android Market search doesn't work? I can download featured apps and in the top 25 list fine. The search doesn't show any results.

I'm using Google Play on my computer to push apps to the Nook in order for it to download other apps from the Market.
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
I didn't mean that it would automate the backup, I just meant that Rooting would be automated (but not with Noogie, that's just used for backups and manually rooting)

nook_1_1_0_update.zip for NST

Hi everybody,

I have NST that came with version 1.0.0

I updated it to 1.1.2 from B&N site and managed to root it (almost).

But really there are some problems with 1.1.2 rooting.

Browser can't open google.com, other apps start and stop, etc.

Now... I am going to "factory reset" it to unrooted 1.0.0.

In order to root it again I need update to 1.1.0.

Unfortunately I can't find nook_1_1_0_update.zip. It is not on B&N site anymore.

May I kindly ask if somebody has this previous update file from B&N to post a link.

Thanks in advance & regards

Edit:

Sorry for my incompetence. File is nook_1_1_update.zip and I found it

If it is possible delete this post
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
B&N broke the Browser, and if those other apps are Opera and YouTube, that's normal(ish). Just re-install Opera from the Market, and YouTube won't play videos even when it does launch.
[Nook Touch General] zholy:
No, it's not normal (as it used to work) but everyone has this problem. Use searchmarket app to search in the market. There are other two threads to this topic.
[Nook Touch General] rhhd:
I just rooted today with 1.1.2 and on the first attempt TouchNooter did not work.

After 10 minutes the screen still had no turned black; switching off and back on again (without SD) produced the "is starting up"-screen, but it was stuck on that screen.

I just put the TouchNoter SD back in and rebooted. This time the screen turned black after 5 sec and after rebooting everything was fine.
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
Searching the market worked for me once I installed GO keyboard.
[Nook Touch General] garyasdf:
I recently bought a new boxed NST from B&N with firmware 1.1.2, and luckily unlike the experiences of Tappet in the TouchNooter 2.1.3 thread everything went well (knock on wood).

So far I haven't encountered ANY problems that seem specific to 1.1.2 that hasn't already been covered.

To search for and install apps I went to the Google Play website using Opera Mobile. One thing that wasn't super-clear to me (full disclosure: noob) was that you select "Phone" as device if offered in order to d/l and install it to the NST. Someone mentioned this in a thread but at the time I didn't know what he or she meant.

I am currently attempting multitouch and norefresh in Slack's helpful "Guides and wiki's for new NST owners"

Thank you to EVERYONE here and in the Nook Color area for researching, tinkering, and sharing!

With the previous full disclosure caveat in mind, I will say that TouchNooter 2.1.3 is fine for firmware 1.1.2, and I personally hope that my NST does not prove me wrong. I flounder as much as anyone when something goes wonky.
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
Normal Android devices that come with Market report their names correctly, but this one just has a generic name "phone". You can rename that in the settings on the Google Play website.
[Nook Touch General] Guyman2:
So I finally rooted my nook. And during the step when I'm supposed to go into youtube and click My Channel, I always get the following error:

There was a problem with the network [400]

So i can't go any further in the rooting process. Gmail wont sync. So i must get youtube working first. Wi-fi is connected so i dont know what the issue is. Any thoughts? Thanks.

UPDATE:

I turned off nook and then back on. Now youtube app wont even load. Gmail however now has synced my emails.

I tried to load Opera Mini, so i could use Google Play, and Opera wont load. Frustrating.
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
Yeah, that's a known problem. The solution is to reinstall it, but that's kind of the problem there. :/
[Nook Touch General] Guyman2:
There sure are a lot of problems and work arounds for the rooting experience. . . . :mad:
[Nook Touch General] Guyman2:
I re-rooted and now Opera works. Now how do i get Google play to install apps? No matter what I try, and I am quite computer saavy, I can't get it. Little help please.
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
This may be an issue with the new Internet, YouTube not loading.
[Nook Touch General] Guyman2:
new internet? huh?
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
Either he was referring to my school's internet being terrible, or he was talking about Google changing Market to Google Play. You need to at open Market on the Nook at some point and try at least one thing. It doesn't matter what it is that you pick to install.
[Nook Touch General] Guyman2:
Market worked today and I installed the Kindle app. I cant search within the app by typing. So do i need to find the Google play app now?
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
I was referring to the new Internet connection settings for the nook itself, sorry for not being precise.

Try downloading hacker's keyboard (or another keyboard) and use it. Then you may be able to search in the app.
[Nook Touch General] Guyman2:
No problem. As with many threads here, a lot of things are mentioned quickly, and may mean something else. Like, Flash this zip file. (saw recently), not sure what that means. So I hope you werent offended by my post.

Since my nook still had all my wi-fi info, I didn't think that connection would be viewed as a new internet connection.

Luckily, the market worked today and I was able to manually load the SearchMarket app and can now fully use the market. Rooting means using a LOT of virtual Duct Tape I guess to get it working. But I'm glad it is working now.

Thanks for your posts and help. Any great apps I should load up?

Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I tried rooting my NST 1.1.2 using noogie.img and its stuck on the "rooted forever" screen. I tried rebooting it without the sd card in it and it went to the "starting up" page and wouldn't go any further (it would flash occasionally). I tried this a couple times but to no avail. For what its worth both the nook and boot sd card are visible when I plug it into my computer. Is there anything I can do?

upgrading market

Is there any way to upgrade the gapps that the simple touch uses?

I can do this using clockworkmod on some other equipment and am able to run CWM on my simple touch via an sdcard. The question is: what gapps file is the one to try (as a flashable zip file)?
[Nook Touch General] nypaulie:
I was up against it too, so I decided to do a factory reset and then try again using another rooting procedure. The best way to do the reset is this: shut down the nook and then press the power button to reboot. As soon as rebooting starts - press down (and keep holding) the two lower side buttons (the raised vertical strips). Now, at one point you should get a screen asking if you want to do a factory reset. Just follow the instructions and once you have your original ST back use this method to root and install android.

Here's the URL: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346748

For the Clockworkmod file I used this URL: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=806435&d=1323121399

Which gave me this file: "sd_2gb_clockwork-rc2.zip"

For the 2 files (for steps 1 & 2) I used:

NUFullTouch-PART-1-START.zip

XWU-NWU-MFTouch-PART-2-END-1.zip

The result was more than I hoped for... I hope this helps!

No more reboots since the new update. But the power button doesn't work anymore. I have to use the docking station to turn the TF101 on and a app to turn it off.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fone_fanatic:
Is it going in and out?

Did you drop it recently?

My bezel was bent out of shape from being dropped onto the bottom left corner and yesterday I took it off to bend it back in shape. When I put it back on, power button wasn't set properly, so just popped it back off and back on again and it works just fine.

It's fairly easy to do. Just remove the two T5 torx screws by the charging port, then pull out and up on the bezel (some used a guitar pick or some plastic piece to pry it out) all the way around the device and it comes right off. Then to put it back on, just put it over the device and simply push it back in and it'll click back in place.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] anatmavada:
The button works fine and I never dropped it.

If my TF is on and I get a dark screen I can use the button to turn it on.

But I can't turn it off with the button.

If my TF is sleeping for a few hours, the button can't turn it on, I have to use the dock.

The funny thing I can reproduce this behavior over and over. First I was thinking its the button, but for me it seems to be a software issue.

Under *nix 'shutdown -P' (or '-p' under *BSD except OSX) should power down the system.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] anatmavada:
Adb reboot says demon not active and nothing happens.

Do I need to be a superuser or any permission to do that?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
Do other adb commands work?

And why don't you just friggin root already? You know it takes less than a minute right?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] luna_c666:
I don't agree with Horndroid much, nor do I share his animus about your not rooting, but I must say that having your device rooted is SOOOO easy, and totally reversible, and would make all of this 100% easier for both the community to help you troubleshoot, and for you to do what we need you to do to help us troubleshoot..for example having emulator terminal access or ADB control of your device. For the latter you don't NEED root, but it makes things SOOO MUCH EASIER. So yeah, just root already...

app for rebooting-requires root

ICS (I think) has Widgets for regular reboot and to turn off if your button doesn't work or you don't like using the button. [Sorry, I just realized that the icons came from an app called Quick Boot (reboot) that does require root to work]

So after you root and install that app - Just go to apps, (where all the icons are- top right of home screen) then Widgets tabs at top, swipe around and you'll see several buttons with lightening bolts labelled for the various options including both power off and reboot. (At least in Revolution HD ICS ROM.) I never even tried vanilla stock ICS. I have been on Revolution since Honeycomb. When ICS came out I waited a few days for the Revolution version to come out.
