Thanks for the info sd formatter 4, Got my card back that I'd used on a previous less honed root:) It found the other ~15.9 gigs. Wow things have come a long way in well ...over a year, Cheers, thanks to the Developers for their time and frustrations. :good:

Have you tried charging it? Just plugging in the charger should boot the NST. Other than that you might want to search through the Nook Touch General forum as I've seen other won't boot & battery issues discussed there.

Kindle app

Thanks a lot for the rooting tool.

I have a question about the kindle app that's installed. I registered the app with my amazon account, however when I go to Amazon to manage my devices (my kindle, the kindle app on my android phone), all my devices have an associated e-mail for sending books, eccept the nook. Do others have this issue as well? Any known solutions?

Thanks.

Just starting with root

How long does it take to create a backup? I booted into nook manager fine and decided to do a backup before rooting but it's taking a while. Does size of sd card affect this - I'm using an 8GB sandisk. It's been at least 15 min. and still Creating backup image...

Finally got there and root worked, but, now when I remove sd card from nook and insert in pc to add NTGAppsAttack the pc (Win7) doesn't see the sd card. Is this because while doing backup the nook formatted the extra space on the sd card? How do I proceed?

Google 2 step authentication requires you to setup an application specific password for your NST. Once you've done that try going into Gmail and adding your account again. Not sure if that will work but I suspect it will.

Problem when some apps.

I have 1.2.1 firmware and is rooted with nookmanager and i have problems with apps that want to write some files, for example, i can't download from opera mini, and cool reader dosnt save bookmarks, and other apps can't sync, but, i can copy files and see files, i guessing were the problem came from, because im newbi on my nook. Any onw has this issue? Help!!!! (sorry for my bad english)
[Nook Touch Android Development] ursulavasey:
Did you use the Win32image writer to burn/write the nookmanager to your sd card? You can't just copy and paste the nookmanager file, it has to be burned to an sd card to work. The link for the imager is below:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/latest/download

Burn the nookmanager file to the sd card using the win32diskimager and put the sd card into the nook. Then follow the prompts as they come up.
[Nook Touch Android Development] straygecko:
There have been problems reported with Class 10 cards. Try a Class 6 or lower card.
[Nook Touch Android Development] bradpitcher:
Make sure you don't use the nook to write to the SD card. You must use a separate SD card reader for whatever reason. I used my old G1 to mount and write to the SD card. Took me awhile to figure out this was the problem since it's not mentioned in the instructions, but TouchNooter instructions do mention this problem.
[Nook Touch Android Development] pickled:
I've had the same happen to me, tried 2 different class 4 cards, both win32image and winimage to write to sd and various different flavors of clockworkmod and no joy. I have been using my phone though as the sd card reader so wonder if it may be because of that that is not setting it up as a bootable sd card. Think I'm going to try via linux and see if it works that way

I have a problem with nookmanager: I have a brand new nook st with firmware 1.2.1. Prepared a microsd with disk image and nookmanager. When i boot up the nook it says "NookManager Loading..." but never gets to a welcome screen. It just flashes black from time to time.

I already did a full factory reset and tried rooting with nooter which didn't work either.

Any suggestions?

Edit: Well, i got it to work. The micro sd i used was too slow. My huge 64gb microsdxc worked well though.

Did I miss a step?

Go to Settings and set ReLaunch to start in "Launcher Mode" when invoked by 'home button'.

Then you will have access to the launcher which stores all your apks.

Yes, guys at http://www.the-ebook.org/ probably changed the sourcecode.

Hi, just got this NST.

I've flashed the microsd with the image and it opened up fine.

Before rooting, i decided to create a backup after formatting the free space on the microsd.

Its been about 10min and it still says "creating backup image", how long should this take? Would it be unsafe to restart it?

Thanks

EDIT: Took 15min, worked thanks!

I've had a Nook ST for a year now but have decided to grab one with Glow since Winters coming and I like to read in the dark.

Is the process any different, I am wondering about Relaunch though with the added light function do I need to keep on the menu bar all the time to access it?
[Nook Touch Android Development] bradpitcher:
It's no different, and you can still turn on the glow light by long pressing the nook button.
[Nook Touch Android Development] remlap:
Ah I see, that's the default for long press on the Glowlight, I have my current Nook set to launch the original launcher when long press the N button.

Great, thanks for the reply.

Lost Menu with Icons

Okay, not sure what I did (I'm assuming I changed folder locations or something.

I rooted and everything worked well, got a file manager, pressed (I think) the button with that looks like a Rubik's cube.

Got a nice little menu with amazon, ADB, registration, etc. icons. Played around for awhile - tried to start ADB, turned it back off and used the back key and only a file manager now.

I tried re-rooting, resetting to default menu etc. and still noting. Able to launch browser only from the initial Help Page.

What am I missing to bring up that menu again? (other than remembering enough linux to find everything)

Book title formatting problem?

Hello,

I'm using NookManager since almost a year and it works perfectly for me but one thing. In Settings -> Advanced Settings -> General Settings there is a setting called "Format of title of the book". It allows formatting book title display, but unfortunately two parameters important for me have no effect. It's "%s - series title" "and %n - number in series". They, when used, simply shows nothing although this information is encoded in epub - other applications shows it properly. All other parameters (%a, %t, %f) works as expected. Is there any chance to fix it?
[Nook Touch Android Development] helmen:
I have the same problem of this user: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2282810

In the past I managed to root the nook with touchnooter (who was quietly boot) then I then made a reset to the default situation.

Today, after updating my nook to 1.2.1 I was not able in any way to boot nookmanager.

I used my own nook as a card reader, I was wrong?

For nookmanager is not present the md5 code md5 but I do not think you have a damaged copy, however;

765cef329abc029da3b03128c97d6111 ./NookManager-0.5.0.zip

How can I do? There is a way to avoid using dd and creating bootable sd by hand (ex syslinux style?)
[Nook Touch Android Development] anders8:
Curious: does this root also disable the autoupdate check to see if the device needs to be rebooted and zapped back to factory install?

I'm essentially talking about needing to do one of the following

sqlite3 /data/data/com.bn.devicemanager/databases/devicemanager.db "update registry set value='manual' where name='com.bn.device.fota.mode';"

or deleting DeviceManager.apk.

Do I not need to worry about this?

Anders
[Nook Touch Android Development] straygecko:
The autoupdate check is not disabled by NookManager but updates seem to fail and cause no trouble. If you disable B&N Apps in NookManager it will remove DeviceManager.apk along with a whole bunch of other stuff.
[Nook Touch Android Development] helmen:
I managed to make it work and to be fair I will point out the problem (if someone like me has the same problem).

Simply you must not use the nook as cardreader otherwise the bootable sd does not work.

Rooted successfully but problems persist

I rooted my NST and am really enjoying customizing it. I have two problems that I cannot seem to fix and hope someone here can help.

First, when I click on "Lock" in the "ReLaunch" manager, it asks if I want to shutdown! Holding down the "n" key for ~10 secs does make it go to sleep, as normal.

Second, when the Nook is sleeping (ie the screensaver is active), I see periodic screen flashes. When I hit the "n" button to wake up the Nook, I see the startup screen (with the "slide here to start") for an instant before ReLaunch came up.

Does anyone know how I can fix either or both problems?

After rooting, I got Google Apps working and installed a number of apps from Play. Perhaps something I've done messed up one or more settings.

Separate questions.

1. I want to install the OC and Fast Screen Updates kernel hack. There are NO instructions regarding what to do. Just an APK and IMG to download.

2. As with #, I want USB OTG support, to use an external keyboard.

Please help. Thanks!
[Nook Touch Android Development] cowbutt:
If you're using 1.2.1, use latuk's kernel uImage (from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43797159#post43797159), unzip, then, googling "uimage adb nook": http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24465113

Latuk's kernel includes USB OTG support.
[Nook Touch Android Development] KEYofR:
That's not a NookManager problem. It's a ReLaunch problem. Go to the source repository for ReLaunch on github.com and submit an issue. Actually I think there already is one. But the dev only very rarely updates (most recent change 9 months ago?) So your options are to try to bug him by email or fork and fix the code yourself. It's all there free for you to do any time you want.
[Nook Touch Android Development] KEYofR:
Worked perfect.

* Used NookManager to make a backup. Removed sd card and copied backup to a linux netbook.

* Used the built-in button combo (hold both bottom side buttons for 20 seconds during boot) to reset my existing hand-rooted 1.1.5 to factory.

* Used the official download & directions from B&N to upgrade to 1.2.1.

* Put the sd card back in and used NookManager to root and install gappsattack.

Everything pretty much "just worked(tm)"

Favorite things aside from how easy to use and how well it worked in general:

* Doesn't require Windows or Mac anywhere along the way. Doesn't require android sdk. Doesn't require special usb driver on pc.

* Relaunch preinstalled.

* No longer need Button Savior! (thanks to mod manager)

Thanks a lot!
[Nook Touch Android Development] idoit:
I was wondering, so out of 64 GB, your Nook ST just recognized 32GB, right? Is there anyway to read whole 64GB in NST?
[Nook Touch Android Development] Crispy3000:
Often by default 64GB cards come formatted with exFAT (which I expect will not work on the nook) rather than fat32. Fat32 will work on 64GB cards just format it and may work.

This is why newer tablet say supported up to 32GB on there spec when they can in fact support 64GB as they don't want to support filesystem issues.

If the NST will only see 32GB then likely its a hardware limitation. If you want to use the card then best shrink the partition and format to something below 32GB. Something else you can try is creating two 32GB partitions although a non-linux device will have trouble reading those and you will need to muck around trying to get it mounted. I think Renate did some work in that area.

Although if its class 10 best upgrade your kernel or get a slower card.

Is it really worth the bother .....
[Nook Touch Android Development] idoit:
Well, as I have not got my NSTG in mail, I can't test it, so if anyone with NST can give this a try and report back, that'd be awesome.

Simply, It would be a good idea to have double as much as advertised, plus 64GB costs almost same as 32GB, so...

Also, is class 10 recommended for NST?
[Nook Touch Android Development] Crispy3000:
There is problem with class 10 cards on NST/NSTG a timeout issue that requires a kernel fix.

The only kernel I have seen with that fix does NOT have needed stuff for glow to work.

Strongly advise just getting a class 6 to avoid. Really though other than the big Dicts for aard what are you going to stick on the NSTG that is so big?
[Nook Touch Android Development] idoit:
Coming from a Kindle background, now that I want to make NSTG my main eReader, I'd like to put as many books as I want on it. Plus as I said, in terms of price, they're almost same. I just hope NSTG's screen doesn't die on me and destroy this late crush that I have on her. :cool:

Well then, I'd buy a class 6 64GB microSD. Thanks again Crispy. :p

For instance, would this work? http://www.cafr.ebay.ca/itm/64GB-Micro-SD-Memory-Adapter-SAME-DAY-LG-Optimus-Nexus-Phone-Samsung-Nokia-/321228074365?pt=US_Cellphone_Memory_Cards

Oh, aard... I didn't know about it. Wow, seems there are a lot of stuff to learn here man! Only, if it was possible to get a more recent Android on NSTs... that'd be perfect!
[Nook Touch Android Development] shorty66:
My NST sees 60,xx GB so the whole 64gb are working.

Just let an android device format your sd-card. I tried formatting to fat32 with windows but that didnt work.

Fixed wifi dialog in ReLaunch

The wi-fi setup dialogue in ReLaunch does not work with firmware 1.2.1

Someone fixed it and has provided a compiled apk since the ReLaunch author hasn't touched anything in 9 months.

There's actually 2 downloads. One just fixes the wifi and a small cosmetic issue of using the name "relaunch" for itself in the system log.

The other also adds dropbox and odps support. I am currently using the 2nd one and it works. I am not using the dropbox or odps features because I don't see what the heck they are supposed to actually do. But the wifi screen works and everything else is the same.

No, don't do it. You will duplicate your serial number and mess up your device encryption keys that B&N uses for communication. Instead use something like Titanium Backup to backup your apps & data and restore them to the other device. Files (books) you might have to do separately.

I was previously on a rooted NST 1.1.1 but a number of things didn't work properly. Upgrading to 1.2.1 and rooting with Nook Manager has made my NST much more useful and reliable.

Just in case you were still interested this memory card works great with my NSTG. I just plugged it in out of the package and the nook detected and formatted it with 59.9GB shown available. Right now, it's being put through the test of being formatted over and over for different purposes.

[Nook Touch Android Development] Cookoospite:
I was under the impression that the slower the card the more chance of bricking my nook?
[Nook Touch Android Development] yeahman45:
unless i am not aware of something... the speed of the sd card will not increase/decrease chance of bricking... it will just be slower to do backups... you can wait for another person to confirm that speed of the sd card does not matter before doing the rooting process
[Nook Touch Android Development] Cookoospite:
Root is successful with a class 2 card
[Nook Touch Android Development] straygecko:
People seem to have trouble with class 10 cards not class 4. The best protection against a brick is to take a backup first and copy it to your PC. Depending on what you have loaded on your Nook the compressed backup file should be 265MB +. Uncompress it or at least check what the uncompressed size will be using your favorite zip tool on your PC and it should be about 2GB. Keep this first backup safe so you can always get back to the start if things go south. If you're really paranoid, take a second backup with another method like a noogie sd card.
