sleepy222 - I had the same issue with reinstalling YouTube.apk in /system/app.

I mounted the system as read/write (adb -d shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system), but numerous permutations of uninstall commands always ended in FAILURE result.

Being an adb noob, ended up loading Android Commander on Windows (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=628138).

Android Commander Steps:

1) Copied YouTube.apk /system/data to Windows directory via Android Files tab

2) Uninstalled YouTube via Application Manager tab

3) Deleted /system/data/YouTube.apk via Android Files Tab

4) Click Installer for YouTube.apk file copied to Windows directory via Windows Files tab

5) Voila, YouTube is back in order

Certainly all this could be done with adb, but Android Commander makes things much easier.

That's exactly what I'm doing. My gf's daughter's xmas noook is just waiting to be unleashed. I'm crossing my t's and dotting the i's first.

With that being said. I ovbiously don't want my emails to be accessible to her 9 year old daughter so should I create a new youtube and gmail account just for her? Will that work?

Eh, I went ahead and created her own gmail account linked to youtube and created her a barnes and noble account all with the same email address just to make things clean and tidy.
[Nook Color Android Development] resteasy:
Thanks for the hard work.

I would love to see a youtube video of either this process or at least the nook running with this autonooter.

Does the nook still have all it's normal features plus the android features?

My girlfriend is getting one and basically all she'd want is to use it like normal plus have some games like bejeweled on there and the youtube app. So maybe a few apk's to install.

I know she'd prefer the stock keyboard as well if that's possible.
[Nook Color Android Development] jason.jerusalem:
Here's a comprehensible video how to do the basic root - as i cannot post link yet, type "How to root your Barnes and Noble Nook Color and put Launcher Pro on it!" in youtube. If you want just extra few features, i would recomend this way, because it seems stable, and if you install flash app, my nook played youtube in the browser without issues. If you follow these steps you just get the normal, standard nook, plus some apps like bejeweled in the extras.
[Nook Color Android Development] edison:
Maybe I'm taking things a bit too far, but I ended up leaving everything unregged and wrote up a instruction sheet for the registration process. While it's not quite as simple for the new owner as power-on-and-play, they'll have full control of the accounts linked to their NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] edison:
Here the link: How to root your Barnes and Noble Nook Color and put Launcher Pro on it!

Note that the video shows rooting with nooter 0.2, not Auto-Nooter 2.12.15.
[Nook Color Android Development] jason.jerusalem:
Anyway, its good to understand everything in the video, how to use adb etc. even of youre going to use auto-nooter. Afterwards, it should be a walk in the park, basically creating the sd image and boot is the same process.
[Nook Color Android Development] Pinesal:
Does the latest version of this let you see more market apps? My nook currently won't find Googel Earth and a number of other apps.
[Nook Color Android Development] mhoepfin:
Was already rooted and just did this. Worked perfectly. Gmail/Market/Youtube working.
[Nook Color Android Development] jonghast:
Another possibility for Market access

For anybody who still can't access the Market, you might try this. It worked for me when half a dozen re-roots and 2 dozen reboots wouldn't.

Install the regular Market wiget from LauncherPro.

It doesn't show any thing on the ticker, but when I tap it it takes me to the new market and I can search and install.

Hope this can help someone.

youtube failure update

Did the auto-nooter. Everything worked great. Youtube would crash on start. Did this command,

adb uninstall com.google.android.youtube

got this error,

Failure.

nothing else, any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] king conan:
That's right.

Please, can anyone give us the right indications how to uninstall apps in system/app just after auto-nooter?

With the other method (super-nooter + auto-config script), it's possible to install / uninstall any app with Astro including youtube and Market. It's even possible to uptade the market to the new one with Astro.

So, with auto-nooter we have everthing in "one shot" including the droid keyboard and all the apps available in Market, but it's not possible to change system apps easyly (with Astro).

With super nooter and auto config script we have everything easy (permissions to change system apps with Astro), but we don't get the keyboard and more important the market does not have the right "fingerprint" to get all the apps.

So,

This is the situation. I would love see the Auto-nooter with the system apps modification permission included.

Thanks to all the people involved to make NC a great Tablet.
[Nook Color Android Development] SheldorTheConqueror:
I'm stuck at this same point in the market. Is there anyone who can tell me what's going on with this, or a link to an article explaining how to fix this? I've already tried the nookdevs "enable the market" page.
[Nook Color Android Development] teotre:
The steps in the first post worked great for me. This was on top of a nooter 0.2 enabled NC (and other various tinkerings).

However, I did notice something in Step 2 for Linux:

It should be dd if=auto-nooter-2-12-15.img of=/dev/sdcard
[Nook Color Android Development] clockcycle:
In loading titanium backup just now to wipe data on youtube I get a new box, it says "Busybox works but the "su" command does not elevate to root "whoami: applet not found" instead of root/uid 0. I think your "Superuser Whitelist" system app does not work. Please check with your ROM provider."

This is after pushing GabrialDestruir's autonooter su overwriting the one from the wiki i had previously. It seems the busybox from GabrialDestruir's autonooter is also older version than the wiki 1.14.4.

-CC
[Nook Color Android Development] peiziyu:
Did this last night, and everything was working just about perfectly in under 15 minutes. Youtube isn't working, as expected, but I have no major use for Youtube, so I'll probably just enable non-market installs at a later point and give it a try then.

Thanks for the script!
[Nook Color Android Development] greenmky:
I think Auto-nooter went a bit too far. It should be just the rooting/su/Market/google apps stuff.

I don't think adding

Installs Soft Keys 2.0.

Installs Genie Widgets.

Installs Droid X Multi-touch Keyboard.

Adds Custom Boot Animation.

was necessary. That kind of stuff should be in something separate from the core rooting process. I don't really want to do widgets at this point, the Droid keyboard, etc.

You could probably use nooter 0.1 / 0.2 and then the AutoConfig, like I did. Leaves me mostly stock except for the market / youtube / gmail.
[Nook Color Android Development] steveisthedude:
Re-install YouTube

Market would not work for me, so I did the full wipe and image reinstall then everything worked like a charm after starting over, but, like a LOT of users youtube stopped working.

This is how I got it working.

I used the instructions at Nook devs to make the file system read write then from my windows box I used this command to remove Youtube.

adb uninstall com.google.android.youtube

Then you only need to install the attached file.

Hope this helps some folks, this board has been a dream, wanted to give back!

Cheers,

The Dude
[Nook Color Android Development] The Old One:
It worked for me with a 2GB microSD.

Edit: But that was with Nooter not this.
[Nook Color Android Development] nswenson:
There is an easier way to fix youtube. Just install titanium backup. In titanium backup you can pull up the youtube app under the "Backup/Restore" section and select the "Wipe Data" button. This will clear the corrupt data in youtube. When you relauch youtube it will be act as if you've just installed it, asking you to accept the Terms. The new youtube is a little flakey in my opinion. Crashes on my Evo 4G as well.

Regards,

Nathan

Just so everyone is aware, this does not work with 1.0.1, nooter 0.2 works fine but autonooter does not work.
[Nook Color Android Development] CBJamo:
Does anyone know what in 1.0.1 broke autonooter?
[Nook Color Android Development] camwinnn:
I believe in IRC it was said the famework.jar is different in 1.0.1

But dont hold me to it, Just watching it like a tv lol
[Nook Color Android Development] CBJamo:
Is it possible to use the hacked jar file and autonooter? Or does it need something changed in autonooter for it work?
[Nook Color Android Development] sleepy222:
Thanks Kaiser for the detailed steps. You did a great job.

I actually got Youtube to install/uninstall via adb last night after searching nookdev site for a mount command. I was determined to get it fixed and stayed up late. lol :) I was going post my findings today but you already came to the rescue. Here the page for anyone interested.

http://www.nookdevs.com/NookColor_Replace_the_Default_Keyboard

I like GUI better than adb and will try out Android Commander. Thanks for the tip.

Anyone experiencing random reboots after using the latest version?
[Nook Color Android Development] sleepy222:
For anyone interested in the ability to do non-market app install.

http://www.nookdevs.com/NookColor_Enable_App_install_from_on-device_installers
[Nook Color Android Development] sleepy222:
I like the soft keys, genie, boot anime, and kb.
[Nook Color Android Development] sleepy222:
I'd like a fix for the su issue as well if anyone knowledgeable can help. Titanium is a must have app for me. This will also fix the Root Explorer mounting issue as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] rckymtnrfc:
Fortunately I used Auto-nooter when it was version .8. Everything works great but I agree. Should I need to start over at some point, I don't want anything but root/su/google apps.
[Nook Color Android Development] cruelcynic:
Thank you for the update. I don't get my nook till X-Mas and I can't wait to root it.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Personally I built AutoNooter based on what people asked for, someone asked for custom keyboard, so I added it. Someone else asked for custom boot animation. Soft Keys was a personal choice cause it seems a lot of people (IRC and Here) use it. Genie Widgets just happens to be part of Gapps along with Calendar/Gmail/Market/Youtube.

If you don't like the "Extras" you can remove them from AutoNooter by deleting the .apks from NooterFiles on the second partition.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Does this not add the full market? I used the version before you added droidx keyboard. I ask because I want to download SQlite editor but it didn't show up in the market of my NC but it does on my phone
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I found SQLite Editor on mine just fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] docfreed:
I think this is fabulous - particularly for those unskilled in using Linux/Android - keep up the good work. This stuff makes the Nook Color a great Android tablet at half the cost of a Samsung Galaxy
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
What version do you have installed? When I look for it the only thing that comes up is root explorer
[Nook Color Android Development] kaiser_va:
Thanks Nathan. I was getting random reboots after which YouTube would stop working again. The Titanium backup wipe data method is much easier than adb to get YouTube up and running.
[Nook Color Android Development] Bimboy:
For those of you with Youtube FC (force close) issues!!

You do not need to uninstall YouTube. It is crashing because it is still linked to your gmail account, as a hack to get all of the other Google apps working. If you disassociate YouTube from your gmail account, YouTube will once again work!

From the Market, download Titanium Backup (Free in the Market)... You may already have it installed, if so, skip this part.

Open up Titanium Backup, it will likely ask for Superuser permissions. Grant it.

If you get a Busybox error, install Busybox from the Market.

Click on the second tab at the top of Titanium, named 'Backup/Restore', and let it populate all of your apps

Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the YouTube app

You'll get a dialog box. Click on the 'Wipe Data' button

Just close Titanium Backup, and you're done. YouTube will work, now that you cleared your user data.

ONLY DO THIS if you are having YouTube issues, but the Market works.

Whoops, see this is just posted.. already ;-) Be nice to have the option to delete post.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I didn't say I have it installed, only that I can find it in the market. SQLite Editor by Speed Software v1.3.3 costs 3.09
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
I meant what version of this app (auto-nooter) did you use
[Nook Color Android Development] madrascafe:
@GabrialDestruir.. no file in googlecode.? r u updating it or something?

i just updated the NC and the download failed and the file is no longer in googlecode.
[Nook Color Android Development] SystemIdleProcess:
Download link appears to be dead.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Fixed. I forgot to make a quick change to get NetworkLocation working.IT's uploaded now, link should work.
[Nook Color Android Development] aruangra:
I got 4 files (MLO, u-boot.bin, uImage, uRamdisk) in my SD card (Diskname=AutoNooter2) after writing the IMG file. I followed the instruction strictly. But I never get Android Welcome screen after rooting and rebooting. What could be wrong? How do I know whether my NC has been rooted?
[Nook Color Android Development] xanderdad:
Since I was already rooted I reset back to stock, and then ran the B&N 1.0.1 update file. The device booted up great, showed the update. So I created the image file for 2.12.18 and that also installed perfectly. Everything shows up fine, youtube opens etc. However I can not install apps from the market. It just sits at starting download and never proceeds further. I've tried 5 different apps. Every other aspect of the device works perfect.

Appreciate any help
[Nook Color Android Development] robjective:
Just a success report. I did a factory reset and system reset, then updated to 1.0.1 (161 MB for a browser fix and wireless tweak-WTF?).

After a clean boot to 1.0.1, I rebooted to Auto-Nooter 2.12.18 and followed the instructions. The only point of trouble was the YouTube login. I just filled in my username (not username@gmail.com), but after troubleshooting, I discovered that it had appended "@youtube.com", so my Gmail/Market failed. I went back and put the full @gmail.com address, and it worked.

Dev: Thanks for putting all these pieces together.
[Nook Color Android Development] robjective:
When mine didn't work due to the credential problem, I couldn't get the market open at all. Once I fixed it, the market opened and I've d/l'd apps. I know this doesn't help much, but we took a similar update path so I just wanted to say that it worked for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
xanderdad try this

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

C:\android\tools>sed "/nocheckin/d" build.prop > .\tmp\build.prop
'sed' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
[Nook Color Android Development] xanderdad:
I understand that I am just modifying the build.prop device ID. Can I get away with just pulling the build.prop and editing that one line, then pushing it back? If so, what is the exact string text I should enter?
[Nook Color Android Development] bonzer2u:
Greetings, just opened up an early xmas present and goota couple of questions before I run through the process as follows.

1. I have setup a gmail/youtube linked email account and have NOT yet registered my NC.

Should I go ahead and register the NC with my new gmail acct or use my other regular 'charter.com' email acct?

2. Afterwards, should I proceed with the post:

/nookdevs.com/NookColor_Enable_App_install_from_on-device_installers/

step 7 afterwards?

Thanks and sorry for the noobness......:eek:
[Nook Color Android Development] Philosophy757:
I'm no authority but may can help. I've done this on 1.0 before but am about to do it again on 1.01.

1. I used my gmail account that I have linked to my gmail/youtube account to register and didn't have any issues.

2. I believe that you can enable app installs from the Nook Tools app that is installed but I would go through the steps on nookdevs as I just prefer to have it enabled that way.
[Nook Color Android Development] docfreed:
I have not been able to install apps even though the Nook Color Tools checkbox is checked - has anyone else seen this behavior?
[Nook Color Android Development] monsterpt:
Did you copy the Nook Color Tools.apk to the \system\apps folder and check permissions? It says to do that at the top of the apps front page when you open it, otherwise the direct install wont work.
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
Does the new version work with 1.0.0 too? Reason I'm asking is that if it "factory resets" itself spontaneously it will go back to 1.0.0 oddly enough, based on my experience doing a factory reset yesterday after a script didn't work with 1.0.1
[Nook Color Android Development] nelson8403:
no, because the framework.jar is version dependent, 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 requires a different framework, if you put the wrong one in your nook won't boot
[Nook Color Android Development] wvcachi:
Worked brilliantly- only "problem" was 4GB SD card reading as 40-some MB after rooting, but formatting it in AR Recovery took care of that. Big thanks, and enjoy the hell outta your $250 Android tablets!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] docfreed:
Yes, and I checked all permissions - I still get "install of download apps not supported" even though the "allow non-market install" box is checked?
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
When I update from the nook website does that remove root? Also if I have used a previous version of tis will the new version work? I tried to update to the new market apk and lost my market so I have to do this again
[Nook Color Android Development] resteasy:
that nookdevs page only has autonooter. I'd like to not have all the features just ability to install apps. ANy idea where the nooter0.2 file?

and does that still work on the 1.01 firmware?

thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] blamejake:
Just a hypothesis (and a real stretch) - but what if - what if someone woke up real early in the morning without having their coffee (as if) and did the unthinkable thing of installing this while STILL on 1.0.0?

Yeah, I know that couldn't happen with the BIG warning and all, but what if there was such an illiterate that did such a thing. How would they possibly recover?

Again, just wondering...
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
Well they would likely have to do the "8 finger" salute like I did when I installed the previous version on 1.0.1
[Nook Color Android Development] blamejake:
Thanks webvan. This imaginary fellow has 'factory reset' multiple times. That is, after the blunder:

1) Attempted to Wipe Data (several times) - no luck

2) 8-finger salute, factory install, and reboot (boot animation = 2.12.18) and Rev is 1.0.0

3) Install 1.0.1, reboot (boot animation = 2.12.18) and Rev = 1.0.1

4) Nooter 2.12.18 and constant bootloop

5) 8-finger salute, factory install, and reboot (boot animation = 2.12.18) and Rev is 1.0.0

I'm totally out of my depth. It seems something's persisting in the boot image or the 'factory install' doesn't reset everything, i.e. something persists regardless of image (something in RAM?). So, stuck on 1.0.0 and not root. Maybe I'll just buy another one.:eek:

Much appreciated and thanks again.
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
Yes I'd posted that above, for some reason it reverts back to 1.0.0 if you "factory reset" after installing 1.0.1. If you're back at 1.0.0 I would use Nooter 0.2 and then the "NookColor Auto Config (Windows) 1.0.0" -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877745 did that last night and it's been working fine since.

It's probably me but Auto-Nooter did not work well for me, two spontaneous hard-resets on Thursday, tough...
[Nook Color Android Development] edison:
Thanks again for the awesome work!

Where's NooterFiles? I can't see a NooterFiles partition under Win7-64. Is it a linux partition?
[Nook Color Android Development] Benny1234:
3rd option for Youtube?

Anyone have another option to fix youtube from crashing upon open? I deleted the line as in the /data/data/com.android.youtube as noted in the first post on this thread. I also tried the titanium backup method with errors, even after installing busybox. Everything else is flawless.

Anyone have a good way via adb or other method to fix youtube?
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
I'm having a problem. I just used this to root my freshly wiped NC and now my home button doesn't work and the notification bar doesn't respond to touch. I can't press the menu button in youtube its like the screen doesn't recognize my input

EDIT: I rebooted and all is working fine now
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Titanium backup doesn't work because it says

BusyBox works but the "su"comand does not elevate to root:"whoami" reports "whoami:applet not found" instead or root/uid 0.1 I think "superuser Whitelist" system app does not work. please check with your ROM provider

So does this not root the NC? Are adb commands unlocked with this?

The first time I rooted I used nooter then this came out so I used it to install email and the market and titanium backup worked. This time I did a complete wipe then just ran this and now the market works but titanium backup doesn't work. What happened to Whitelist?
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
If you just for some reason I don't know happened to run 2.12.18 after you did your /data wipe. Only THEN would you have a persistent boot image. Because it happily resides /data/local/bootanimation.zip

AutoNooter works fine now if you're you 1.0.1 it even has a built in Auto Reboot to let you know it's done.

If someone were such an illiterate they shouldn't of attempted at all. But if someone that could read did it anyways. Let's say due to sleep fogginess without their morning cup of coffee, they'd just have to let it fail-boot 8 times then /system recover would kick in and they'd be back to 1.0.0

NookDevs took down the nooter0.2 file because it was deemed unnecessary anymore with AutoNooter doing everything it did. Including adding fixes that nooter0.2 doesn't. if you don't like that "Extras" delete them from NooterFiles. If you can't find said NooterFiles partition because you're running... say idk... Windows? You can always use one of those fancy "scripts" which should include a link to nooter 0.2 in the first place or you can go get a Linux LiveCD boot into it and delete the files from NooterFiles.
[Nook Color Android Development] madrascafe:
Cool Thanks.. worked great..
