Just copy apk to nook internal memory (media) and installation is done .

It seems sdcard problem occurred with FW1.2 , Not this nooter ...

Edit : problem fixed with new version !

Any way we can point downloaded apks into media then.
[Nook Touch Android Development] David0226:
Thanks

Excellent work!

There are many neat features in the Nook Touch Mod Manager app. I especially like the ability to disable the slide to unlock and the ability to customize the banner text. No more having to edit screensavers to add "If found, pleases call {name} @ {phone number}."

Being able to quickly restore the factory image was a big plus also for someone who has fooled around way too much with various rooting methods.

Mine has the same issue, but you can install using:

adb install {whatever}.apk

The apps you have selected from the Amazon Apps store should be downloaded to /sdcard/Andriod/data/com.amazon.venezia/cache.

Both ModManager and this project are open source, if you want to see any extra features I'm happy to accept patches.

Debug usb is already enabled (ADB). I'm happy to accept patches to enable gapps, but it's not something I'm going to work on myself.

[/QUOTE]

Reflash the image and re-run the root.

Reflashing the SD card will erase any backups you may have, so you should boot off the old image first, and then copy your backups someplace safe.
[Nook Touch Android Development] remmons:
I added "0x2080" to my .android/adb_usb.ini. I added these lines to my android_winusb.inf:

[Google.NTx86]

; Nook Simple Touch

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0003

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0003&MI_01

[Google.NTamd64]

; Nook Simple Touch

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0003

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0003&MI_01

I went to my Device Manager and right clicked "Portable Devices / NOOK" and selected "Update Driver". I navigated it to the folder that contains "android_winusb.inf" and Windows told me that I already had the latest driver.

I re-booted my computer and connected my NSTG via USB. No joy. I can see the Nook and its SD card in windows explorer, but "adb devices" shows a blank list.

Does ADB use the same driver for the NSTG as Windows Explorer? If so, the driver is fine.
[Nook Touch Android Development] straygecko:
Welcome to Windows driver hell. Do you get a Android Composite ADB Interface in Device Manager? If not, follow the Troubleshooting steps in the link I posted. You'll probably have to delete everything Nook from device manager per the instructions and let it reinstall to get the driver installed correctly.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
ADB uses either WiFi or USB, not both.

The thing that determines that is whether this line in init.rc is commented or not:

# setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555

You can see this line in a copy of init.rc in the root directory of your Nook.

To modify this you will have to modify init.rc inside uRamdisk.

You can use bootutil.exe (in signature) to extract/replace init.rc
[Nook Touch Android Development] straygecko:
No, don't mess with init.rc. NookManager enables USB adb and installs ADBKonnect to switch to WiFi and back to USB on the fly. The fact that you are getting adb over WiFi with ADBKonnect means that NookManager rooting worked fine and USB adb is enabled whenever you aren't using ADBKonnect to switch to WiFi.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
Well, that's one philosophy.

Mine is, don't mess with ADBKonnect. :p
[Nook Touch Android Development] straygecko:
Yeah, I know you're not a all-in-one nooter fan and would rather tweak things yourself. Just letting know how this particular nooter sets things up and why messing with init.rc won't help get adb USB working for this guy since USB adb is already enabled in init.rc by NookManager.
[Nook Touch Android Development] remmons:
The line is commented out. I have used ADB via wireless by using ADBconnect. I just cannot use ADB via USB, even if I use ADBconnect to disable wireless. It is like Catch-22. Without ADB, I could not see init.rc. The USB connection does not show my root directory in Windows Explorer. I can only see the root directory via ADB.

Using ADB via wireless, I "adb installed NookColorTools". It showed ADB debugging *disabled*. I enabled it, but still no joy!

To summarize:

* My ADB works via wireless ADBconnect, but not via USB

* My USB works with Windows Explorer, but not with ADB

My question regarding the driver is this. If the driver works via wireless for ADB, doesn't that mean that it also would work via USB, and that the problem lies elsewhere?
[Nook Touch Android Development] straygecko:
NookManager patches init.rc to enable adb but doesn't update the row in the sqlite db that NookColor tools looks at to determine if ADB is enabled so Nook Color Tools incorrectly reports that adb is disabled.

Nope. Wireless uses your wireless network card driver. You need to get the USB driver working.

If you haven't tried the troubleshooting steps you really should. I had to go into Device Manager and show hidden devices and delete all the disk drives and USB stuff that referred to vendor 0x2080 then plug my nook into my PC to get the drivers to install correctly. Windows is a extreme pain in the rear when it comes to USB drivers. You probably didn't have this problem with your phones and other devices because they usually use vendor software you install to do the rooting and it takes care of properly installing the drivers. Or someone wrote a PC based rooter that did the driver install for you. B&N hasn't been so kind to us and no one has written anything that I know of to properly install the drivers for the Nook.
[Nook Touch Android Development] remmons:
Thanks for the help. I am in Windows Driver Hell. I have tried uninstalling the Nook driver, including the disk drive drivers. When I plug the Nook back in, it instantly re-installs the device drives without giving me any chance to choose the driver. My "adb devices" is still blank for the Nook.

Maybe I need to do some research on device drivers?
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
It can be tricky with the Windows drivers.

Usually the problem is that it has loaded the UMS drivers for the Mass Storage and has said, "All done!"

Go to Device Manager, go to USB, find the Mass Storage.

Click on "Update Driver" and say No to any offer to do this automatically.

You want to load a driver for Composite USB Device.

Make sure that you specifically give the path to the correct INF that has the 2080 in it.

There is only 63 mb left on a 16GB SD card after installing this img, what happened to all the other memory? How do I get it back?
[Nook Touch Android Development] David0226:
If you install the image properly, it partitions the SD card. The remaining space is in a separate partition, which is used for backups. Also, you cannot see that partition in Windows unless you have the SD card in the Nook and the Nook booted into NookManager.

There are two glowlight models - the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight (black frame) and the new Nook Glowlight (white frame).

Failed Patching uRamdisk

Hi All. I followed the instructions. However, after rooting, I got failed patching uRamdisk. But all the other items below seems to be fine. And in the end, I got a ‘Success’.

Can anyone tell me if this matters? Thanks
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
Yes, patching uRamdisk DOES matter. Go into your computer, extract NookManager.img, and search the folder you extracted for uRamdisk. When you find it, copy it somewhere easy, boot your Nook with Noogie, go into the /boot directory, and copy the uRamdisk in there. Unplug Nook from computer, reboot, you're good to go. :)

Already Rooted 1.1.0

So I rooted my NST (without glow) about 2 years ago, when the update 1.1.0 was available. Installed android, however was never able to load any apps. For instance, the browser just force closes without loading any website. I have now taken a backup using noogie, however when I try loading the nookmanager sd card on the nook, it just loads normally and asks to format the sd card.

Wondering how to update to 1.2.1 and then re-root my nook.

What will factory reset do in this condition.

I would like a rooted functional NST. Whats the best way to go about it?
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
I'd recommend to you from this point to follow the following steps:

1. Commence the 8-interrupted-boot factory image restore method, which will take you back to whatever firmware your Nook came with out of the box. Don't know how? Google it or PM me. Then, re-sign into your B&N account (or skip Oobe).

2. Update your Nook to 1.2.1 by downloading the update from here and following the installation steps found on the same page.

3. Root your Nook using the NookManager tool.

Then, enjoy!

Very minor bug: backup copy of uRamdisk:/init.rc not created correctly

Thank you for this great rooting script, and extensive instructions how to use it. I like it that you adopted as a rule to keep the original of each of the patched files. A very minor bug in the patch_uramdisk script creates the /init.rc.orig backup incorrectly. The problem is due to line 36, which says:

[ -f /tmp/ramdisk/init.rc.orig ] || cp /tmp/ramdisk/[STRIKE][I][COLOR="Red"]default.prop[/COLOR][/I][/STRIKE] /tmp/ramdisk/init.rc.orig

Instead, it should say:

[ -f /tmp/ramdisk/init.rc.orig ] || cp /tmp/ramdisk/[U][B][COLOR="SeaGreen"]init.rc[/COLOR][/B][/U] /tmp/ramdisk/init.rc.orig

The original init.rc can be obtained from the stock nook_1_2_update.zip, available here from B&N.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Helix751:
Hi. I rooted my NST a couple of years ago with NookManager and everything went ok. I have left my nook for some months (I got a Kindle) and retook it a week ago.

The problem is Google play doesn't recognize it anymore and so cannot download any apps or update existing ones, although every other connection works so far (B&N shop, Gmail, browsers, etc)

I have been reluctant to revert to stock and re root with NookManager, but the existing Google account simply cannot be removed afaik.
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
Have you already tried removing the old account and adding a new one using AccountsAndSyncSettings.apk?
[Nook Touch Android Development] Helix751:
No and yes:

Actually, my NST has AccountAndSyncSettings.apk in the /system/app folder and it is invoked when readding my same existing Google account, but although the sync settings are apparently updated, it doesn't allow the Market to work. It still displays a notification error "Download was unsuccessful, please try again."

Additionally, I found no way to actually *remove* an existing Google account from my Nook. The option is simply not there (unless there is another .apk that has this enabled as an option).
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
Hmmm. Looks like you'll have to restore and re-root, unless you or I can find a way to remove a Google account.

I'll look into it.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Helix751:
Thanks for your support. I must say I tried every option available.. until selecting one inside the NookColor Tools app (installed by NookManager it seems) and the device reset itself after a sweet "Due to an authorization problem, your nook has to be reset" message screen :confused: Did it detect it was rooted? It seems so.

The fact is I have a stock Nook once again so this kind of "solved" (at least preliminarily) my issue. There's no Gmail, Market, root or the like to bother now.. Will have to re-root again at home and remember to turn on my device once in a while (if not under constant use) to avoid being removed from the Market device list.

PS: fortunately my custom ebooks were stored in the external SD card as well as a backup of the 'screensaver' folder.
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
No, that "setting" instant-resets any Nook Touch when chosen, rooted or not - it's basically the activity which is launched when an authorization error actually occurs.

Good thing you backed up your screensavers folder and had your books on the external SD card!

Nook doesn't recognize SD Imaged with NookManager?

Hi All,

I'm a bit late to the party, but wanted to root my NST. I tried the steps in the first page of this thread, but when I put my SD card in the NST after imaging it with NookManager it only says an unformatted SD card is installed. I tried this with a 64GB card and a 2GB card. Also, I used RoadKil Disk Image software.

Any tips?

Thanks!

SenatorKen
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
SenatorKen,

Firstly, no one's late to the NST party. All are welcome! :)

The reason you're having that issue is because you are supposed to execute the steps in this order:

1. Write the NookManager image to the SD card (I use a 2GB card).

2. Turn your Nook all the way off.

3. Put the SD card into your Nook.

4. Turn your Nook back on.

That will boot you into the NookManager program, from which you can root your Nook.

Hope this helps!

-Nookie
[Nook Touch Android Development] SenatorKen:
Thanks Nookie,

Those are the steps I followed, and I tried it a couple of times, but when I power the Nook back on, it only starts normally (doesn't boot to NookManager). Then when I go into settings, it shows an SD card but says it needs formatted. I don't know if it's maybe the way I imaged it. I used Roadkil Image Writer. I think the first page recommended 'Image Writer for Windows'. But, I'll go through the first few steps again, in case something was corrupted.
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
Oh, sorry - the way you phrased it made it sound like you hadn't followed the steps properly. :eek:

If this second attempt with Roadkil doesn't work, try WinImage instead (but keep Roadkil!) - the way they write images to discs is slightly different.
[Nook Touch Android Development] SenatorKen:
Thanks again Nookie! WinImage seems to have done the trick, and I'm now waiting while NookManager creates a backup image on my NST. I'll let you know how it goes!

Sen. Ken.

Unable to create a backup

I hit a snag in making a backup with NookManager. When I follow the steps, using "Rescue; Backup; Create a Backup; Format remaining space on SD card", it comes back with "Could not format partition", I tried several times and still get that message. I went ahead and chose backup, but it stayed on the "creating a backup" screen for 2 hours 20 minutes.

I wonder if this is from burning the image using WinImage, and it says it t has to resize the disk. Maybe this results in no unused space on the SD for NookManager to partition?

Does anyone know a fix for this, or other tips?

Thanks!

SenatorKen
[Nook Touch Android Development] :
Huh. That's odd.

Try this:

1. Exit from the NookManager interface and boot your Nook into its regular UI.

2. Take out the SD card.

3. Plug the SD card into your computer, and format it.

4. Then, write the NookManager.img file to your SD card with WinImage.

5. Try the backup process again.

If that doesn't work, your SD card is too small. You can try the 64GB card; it may or may not work.

Do I need to have it rerun the 1.2.1 update and reroot it?

Was your device rooted before, or did you root with NookManager and then attempt to apply NTGAppsAttack?

No Google apps pack. It was previously rooted with glownooter, however while In the settings menu I touch an option that violated the nooks security, so it reimaged itself. Following that I forced a factory image reload. Nook was fully powered off, I held down both lower page turn buttons and turned it on. Reimage ensued.

Following all that I hit it with nook manager. And immediately after that I got the touch android. Haven't even downloaded the ngappsattack.app
