[Nook Touch General] xisini:
Hi folks,

I haven't been using my NST for a very long time. I was expecting a decline of interest for my old love but i thought i would figure out a solution to use my NST like i used to. But i couldnt. Because I haven't tried any sort of hacking stuff that involved rooting, installing customs roms etc. for the past 3-4 years ,i almost forgot everything about these matters. So i am an absolute noob right now :/ Memory is a b*tch and mine is weak :(

I really really want to release my Nook Simple Touch from Barnes&Noble's ugly stock chains. I checked some topics and i saw that most of them are dead. My question is; Is it still possible to do these things to my nook

1- root it

2-sign in to google and install a working playstore apk

3- find a working "read it later" like application which suits NST

4- find a good pdf,epub reader app

Can you please guide me through these steps, your help will be greatly appreciated. I may figure out a way to do these and don't bother with these silly questions but i can't look at led/lcd screens for long periods of time because i have a problem with my eyes. :/

Best wishes,

Baran

Here are some suggestions & pointers to get you started:

Factory-reset your NST for a clean-start base using Nook Manager (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2040351).

Update to BN ROM to v1.2.1 (if your NST has an older ROM version)

Root using using Nook Manager.

Install ReLaunch Launcher (http://xdaforums.com/nook-touch/general/relaunch-best-nst-launcher-version-1-4-t3060782) and essential Google apps (e.g., Market, SearchMarket, Gmail, etc.) using NTGAppsAttack (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086582).
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Backup early and often. NookManager makes it easy to do this, so although it takes a bit of time, it's a good idea. However, NM only stores the most recent backup. You can keep "snapshots" of major hurdles by connecting your NST to your computer while NookManager is loaded up. You will see the Backup section on the SD card. Copy the two files in the folder onto your computer. I like to store them in dated folders also containing a small text file that describes the major changes. Then you can drag them back onto the SD card when NookManager has loaded to restore a specific backup--if the need arises.

I keep three or four of these backups while I am making changes. It's a whole lot better than starting from scratch if thing go south later in the game.
[Nook Touch General] franzli:
For pdf reading I can recommend ezpdf, if you can find an old version. It stopped working reasonably on the NST from about version 2.5 (e.g. you couldn't see text in the menu, probably because the font colour wasn't available on the eink screen, or the font type not installed - either way, really annoying if you want to change settings by guessing), but I remember I used to run it fine with some slightly older version.
[Nook Touch General] NookST Student:
Hay The Best Reader for NST is Renate's Temblast Reader

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54201382&postcount=94

It is not perfect but very viable for Nook.

I hope Renate will continue the development.

Still Nook STR is the best ereader out there. It is sad that it is no longer available officially.

Good luck with your project
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Gosh!

I'm still working on the reader, it's had a lot of improvement.

I just have to find the time to get it out.

Here's a preview on my Nook Glow Plus.

(I use the same app on my NST, LG phone and Nexus 7 tablet.)
[Nook Touch General] NookST Student:
I am not hijacking this thread.

Renate love to hear about the improvement.

Renate Could you please add text selection & a Dictionary.English is my second language so I like a build in Dic like in Nook reader.

Thank Keep up the great work genius

Hi

Im currently using AOKP (kitkat) and i think its time for an upgrade...are there any stable and good marshmalow ROMs or should i stick with kitkat

And i know i should probably know the next question but here it is:

What do i do to flash a new rom....do i just reguraly flash it using recovery app or.....?

And what is a good way to backup and/or sync my data so that i will get my apps back as soon as i turn on the Wifi

Tnx 'n' have a good day
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
No-one will recommend roms. Its personal preference.

If you want a marshmallow rom it would be best to buy a faster, newer phone. The I9300 was never designed to run anything past 4.3.

[General Questions and Answers] moritz31:
Hey guys,

i didn't know where to ask exactly so excuse please if i'm in the wrong section.

I have set a new goal for me. To port Ubuntu touch to my Z3 Tablet. I have already build some cyanogenmod rom's in the past and did an Ubuntu touch build just for fun. But now i want to get a port for my Z3.

But i have some kind of issues with my development environment. The only machine with linux at the moment i can use is my server which runs Debian Jessie. So not really good for developing Ubuntu touch. So i thought about an VM, which can access a network drive. Installed Ubuntu 15.10 onto my Desktop VM and mapped a samba share via autofs onto it, but the problem is that i can't sync the repo. I always get permission denied. I think it has something to do with the repo tool and the network drive but i can't figure it out.

Can someone help me ?

Greetings

Where in hongkong can I buy HTC tytn II for a reasonable price? It seems that, its selling like a hotcake and some stores just run out of stocks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] h2ogun:
If you are physically in Hong Kong then you can try all those big electronics chain stores (Broadway, Fortress) and also the telcos shops (CSL and 12Free). Wan Chai computer mall also has some shops (Master OA, etc.). I am sure you can find one somewhere lol. There r just too many shops here to buy from.

I want to be as close to stock as possible. Is it possible to flash (with ODIN) 100% stock rom then root with unikernel and remove all the t-mobile apps and knox etc..then go back to stock kernel and unroot? how would I unroot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] euklid:
I want to unroot because the phone is for my gf who knows nothing about technology, I don't want her to accidentally do anything to the phone if it's rooted lol. Does CF auto root work 100% for th S6 now? I always used unified kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] androidddaaron:
my wife's phone is rooted and she wouldn't even know it if she seen it.

Women who don't know about root which is most in that casee could care less . As long as theyre facebook and cam works...lol .The only time they could do harm is Going to the extent of booting into twrp in which they would not even know the first thing about flashing a zip .

Root her phone debloat it and it's done.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

5.0.2 was good for cf auto

Since 5.1.1 you cant downgrade and requires a rootable kernel and most people do it this way .

Just flash uni kernel v8 tar in Odin and reboot or flash twrp with Odin and then flash the unikenrel v8 zip before you reboot

I'd be interested in this because I need to use an app for my work that checks for root and xposed framework. But I'd still like to use a ROM with enhancements like low battery camera etc and without all the useless apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
There are root cloaking apps which are meant to hide that you have root access. I cannot speak as to their effectiveness but they are out there.

I told my employer that I wasn't unrooting my phone and that if somebody needed something so urgently as to pull me away from my personal time when I work 9-5:30 m-f that I didn't rhink it too much to ask that said individual(s) contact me personally. They actually came to agree with me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MrManH:
These don't work for the app I'm using, I looked into it. I have no use for root other than debloating the phone, and the built in features of custom roms (which I believe don't require root access).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Calnyx:
If you use systemless root, delete /su/xbin_bind and then follow this thread's instructions http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/passing-safetynet-root-t3307659 nothing will be able to detect root without requesting it [which you can deny] and you're golden.

Will this site list and adopt a place for modifications to it?

I am banking on the pocketCM type data entry system to make it as functional as I enjoy on my iPhone right now.

Anyway, I'll report on my experience with this device soon!

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVD1903:
Marshmallow changed a lot with the extSD. I believe you have to reformat it to get it working with apps on the extSD again. Be sure to backup any photos etc. you have on the card and then choose to format it as internal. If you want to keep your extSD usable with your PC and other devices, you have to keep it as portable, but I believe you will not be able to put apps onto it then. Hope that helps

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cisz8:
I have a droid razr m xt907. It was working fine until suddenly it wouldn't boot. I tried flashing using House of Moto. Unfortunately, at that point I didn't recognize the phone as being an xt907 and only knew it as a droid razr m. The house of Moto instructions said you have to insert new lines in the rom if you have a snapdragon device and included the xt907.

I flashed it (with the wrong rom) and it would no longer go into recovery but only goes to ap fastboot.

I've also tried flashing with rsd lite.

Recently I installed Ubuntu but it hasn't been able to recognize the phone using gmtp.

Help appreciated.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strabo231:
Youre not inserting lines into the rom. You're replacing (overwriting) old files in the houseofmoto tools file. These file are labeled "windows", "linux", and "darwin". There is a link on the houseofmoto main page containing the new files. All you have to do is extract both files to folders, open both files, and then drag and drop from Snapdragon fxz support folder to house of moto folder. Use the "copy and replace" option when prompted. See guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450702
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cisz8:
The exact detials aren't the point. The problem is that I didn't realize that my phone was a snapdragon device or an xt907. I only knew it as a droid razr m -- so I didn't put the new files into the tools folder and ended up flashing the phone with the wrong files and now it's hard bricked.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strabo231:
that is the correct firmware for the razr m xt907. It's the last update it got. The only thing that sucks about it is that it also installs the unlockable bootloader and kills root. You didn't flash the wrong firmware.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cisz8:
The firmware was correct but the files in the tools folder were for the wrong phone. That's why it got bricked.

I assume I already had the latest firmware update when it started giving problems since it was updating automatically -- so I would have had to flash it with that version anyway.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strabo231:
All you can do is delete all the extracted zip files and start over. If you still have all the downloaded zips just set it all back up from there. If you've tried RSD lite with the 62-15.1 firmaware, and you got no errors, I'd say you're hosed.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strabo231:
If you're using ubuntu, you can either install android sdk tools (adb), or you can can the motorola fastboot version for linux, then you can use the mrbluecoat instructions i posted above. You can also go back to the houseofmoto site and there are instructions on how to set it up for linux. The "tools" files you dind't replace are just fastboot files. If you set it up on ubuntu, and double check that you have the correct fastboot files, it should restore. If you don't do a lot of rooting or restoring phones just use houseofmoto. If it's something you do often then setup adb...or you can also just use motorola fastboots
