Oh wow!!! All of the stuff it took me 3 weeks to get on and do, in one easy to use script! Very very cool! Too bad I can't use it... but I think it'll work great for a beginner.

Minus the volume keys, me thinks... SoftKeys works fantastic for that.
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
I tried softkeys I couldnt get it to work well with LauncherPro. Its probably just me.
[Nook Color Android Development] devis:
I use Zeam. Didn't like Launcher Pro that much.
[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
I liked Zeam ALOT except the small launcher bar. I wish Zeam could expand there apps drawer launcher button and the buttons around it.
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
Are you going to post this as a .bat file for us ?

Thanks !
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
Looking forward to that.

With the current methods, autonooter or NookColor Auto Config I (and others) have had spontaneous hard resets and that really sucks!
[Nook Color Android Development] nelson8403:
This does not work on 1.0.1, I have nootered and I was able to get some things working, I'm thinking it might be iwth the framework

here is a pastebin of the script running

I know, it is rather small... I git used to it though. It woyld be nice however to have the drawer follow screen orientation.

Rboatright, Mediafire link is not working (??) Got it now -- thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] Paul22000:
What does this mean, and how do you perform it? :confused:

Also, any chance someone can make a quick YouTube video showing all the Google Apps on the NC? (Would love to see performance, any issues, etc)
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Could you write up a windows tutorial of everything someone would need to do to get this working? I'm not very good at adb and I want to make sure I know what i'm doing
[Nook Color Android Development] king conan:
If you're in Windows and you have your NC USB connected you'll see in my computer the "media" partition of the NC. Right click and eject.

Guys, is it working?

I have to wait some hours to try myself.
[Nook Color Android Development] Consolenomad:
Google Talk?

This is awesome. Has anyone had luck getting the Google Talk app to work?
[Nook Color Android Development] Ket009:
Ditto this, I can type commands in better than a monkey but I'm not smart enough to know which ones to type unless I'm told :)
[Nook Color Android Development] smarcisin:
i've run the windows one twice and all i get is a NC that needs to be reset again
[Nook Color Android Development] mad5427:
Could you write what the mac os terminal commands are and exactly how to use this NookColor-Config.sh file?

I'm not sure how to translate the OP's unix commands to use this file you provided. Thanks. I've been trying to get this done and I couldn't get past the YouTube part. This should make things so much easier.

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] wookieloou:
Tried the Windows script, got through the .bat and rebooted, now my Nook is sitting at a black screen not responding to any input. Adb reboot?
[Nook Color Android Development] smarcisin:
the windows one has a problem, i would leave it alone for now
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
Windows version had a major error in it.

still buggy....
[Nook Color Android Development] msid:
This should work:

Save the file, remove the .txt extension.

Open terminal and cd to the file location.

Then in terminal:

chmod +x NookColor-Config.sh

./NookColor-Config.sh

You have to make sure that you have the path to the android sdk in your profile (/Users/you/.bash_profile) - otherwise you will get errors on adb and sqlite3 commands.

From the original script, I just removed the paths to adb and sqlite3 and changed wget to curl -0.
[Nook Color Android Development] thetoady:
so this worked, I have gmail and market now. However, I don't have youtube anymore, it just flashes in and out. anyone else?
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
early windows version had a bug.

see later post for correct URL
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
you will have to uninstall and re-install youtube.
[Nook Color Android Development] mad5427:
This is what ended up working for me.

Erase the .txt from your file and choose for it to keep .sh

Placed file in location on machine where I keep all my good install files, etc. for this device.

chmod +x /<path to file>/NookColor-Config.sh

sudo /<path to file>/NookColor-Config.sh

It wasn't until I added sudo for it to work. It installed everything perfectly. I already had the path in my profile due to all the other earlier processes that I did. I also did this starting from pure flashed original nook software that was then rooted and had superuser and su installed.
[Nook Color Android Development] king conan:
Anyone else tried this version?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] r3dpnt:
I just tried the widows batch file twice. It failed twice for me. Reading thru the output i noticed alot of 'Failed to copy *something* to *something* : Read-only filesystem'

There is a good chance that it's all due to error on behalf of the idiot end user, but maybe it'll be helpful.

Question regarding the windows version, do we need to eject the both the sdcard and media before running the batch file?
[Nook Color Android Development] william1853:
Using the windows bat file, same results here as rd3point -- losts of messages about read-only file system
[Nook Color Android Development] BigBadger:
Lots of "device not found" messages for me. I note there is no packages.xml file in the folder when all is said and done. I end up with a NC that will not boot. I think I'll wait for some additional work to be done on this.

Windows 7 32-bit

Running as an administrator account

executing in the tools folder of the android sdk
[Nook Color Android Development] wookieloou:
I think that was the mistake I made as well. Need to eject the both the sdcard and media before running the batch file.
[Nook Color Android Development] jamdev:
Almost bricked it

I used the early windows script and had lots of errors .... tried correcting some of the file paths and had to install sed to get the regex2.dll file

ended almost bricking my NC :mad:

Would boot up to a blank screen .... i dont think its the windows script fault entirely as i was messing around with it.

Managed to get back to factory but wont be able to root it agian untill i get home later this week :(
[Nook Color Android Development] wookieloou:
I guess that's what we get for trying to be early adopters before verifying this works. Supposedly the updated version works.
[Nook Color Android Development] smarcisin:
i tried all windows versions, they all just brick my NC to a black screen at boot....
[Nook Color Android Development] HLOsHubby:
Almost bricked it too. Same black screen after reboot. 3-finger restore fortunately got it back to square 1... Sure glad this is a learning experience.
[Nook Color Android Development] axe2:
I got the exact same result, and I don't understand the comment about "If the nook reboots at this point". Why would it reboot, and if so, why would it only reboot sometimes?

Whatever it's doing at that point, it appears that it can't download the build.prop... Or could this be a problem with not having a /tmp on Windows?
[Nook Color Android Development] BigBadger:
Don't be angry - unless you want to be angry at yourself. :)

We'll get this figured out. Very soon this will be bullet-proof and we will sing the praises of yet another hacker.
[Nook Color Android Development] axe2:
I don't have my nooter sdcard with me, but I can root the internal from an external scdard that I have. Could someone post the script contained in the nooter image? I think it's called init.rc (or something like that)?
[Nook Color Android Development] smarcisin:
after 4 tries with the windows bat file posted . .. i finally got back to completely stock then rooted with z4root....then fixed my adb on my laptop running ubuntu.....then ran OP directions.....all is now good!!

if anyone needs help getting adb to work on ubuntu i think i've mastered it now
[Nook Color Android Development] king conan:
guys,

did you eject "media" partition before trying this second windows script?
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
yes, the problem is that my development machine HAS a /tmp

no problem. Simple enough to fix.

Same link, autonook_0.4.zip does not assume that your PC has a /tmp directory, it creates a tmp under your platform-tools folder and uses that.

This is what debugging is.

Thanks for the heads up.

**still buggy.***
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
The very early version had 2 files missing, and had some bad paths. Later version had the same problem that MrMuffin's did that it needed to have its order changed.

Latest version is no longer dependent on the pc having a /tmp directory.
[Nook Color Android Development] antoniouslj:
For those of you having problems...

Make sure the nook media (mass storage on pc) is ejected and doesn't show up under My Computer.

Also make sure you have the latest SDK installed (the one for 2.3).
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
Thanks for the paste of your session. It helped.

The version you ran was dependent on the pc having a /tmp folder.

the critical error lines were

* modify system fingerprint.
532 KB/s (2183 bytes in 0.004s)
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.

that's fixed now. but I have a new bug.

I'm about to try the windows version now. I'm coming from a fresh factory wipe and data wipe, rooted, ran z4root, installed Astro. I know that i need to unmount both the sd card and the internal storage. Anything else I need to look out for before I start? And I've pretty much installed everything avail for the sdk.
[Nook Color Android Development] TchnclFl:
I'm really scared to try the windows version now, but I can't seem to get ADB to install on Ubuntu :|. Anyone have Ubuntu-specific instructions?
[Nook Color Android Development] clockcycle:
I had this too, had to Factory Reset and Wipe Data..

Ended up printing the script and just doing every command manually.. My NC now has gmail, youtube and market working.

-CC
[Nook Color Android Development] HLOsHubby:
Yep. Ejected. Both.. ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
hold off on the windows version for now.

working on a new bug.

Yeah I think I'll just go through it step by step. I'll learn more doing that anyway.

[Nook Color Android Development] Bimboy:
THIS JUST BRICKED MY NOOK!!!

I extracted it to the android-sdk-windows/platform-tools folder, where my nc_gapps.zip was (and was also extracted to, just in case). Plugged in rooted NC, double clicked autonook.bat... All seemed to go as planned.

I now have permanent black screen of death (BSOD), even after a factory reset.

I doubt I'll be able to bring it back like this, so nice $250 paperweight.

SUGGESTION: Don't post stuff like this without instructions, please. It seemed obvious what to do, but it thoroughly broke my NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] king conan:
With 8 failed start ups the NC should reflash to stock rom.

Keep trying. Good luck.
[Nook Color Android Development] axe2:
Try powering on/off with the USB plugged in. Also hold the power button for > 10 sec. I don't know why, but having USB plugged in seems to make a difference in this mode.
[Nook Color Android Development] Bimboy:
Thanks.

Trying this. I do get past the first and 2nd splash screen, and then it just lights up black.

..now getting to the nook color splash. WHEW!
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
Fortunately, you can't really brick a nook.

attempting to boot eight times will initiate a system re-flash.

And I'm really sorry. I just finished re-flashing mine for the sixth time today trying to replicate all the problems people had. and making sure that the script was actually bullet-proof.
[Nook Color Android Development] king conan:
rboatright,

we thank you for your effort, but I think you should edit your posts and erase the download links until you find a safe script.
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
Yes, the windows version of sed will not accept a parameter set off with single-quotes. so, MrMuffin's commands failed in windows

Once I replaced the ' with " it worked.
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
No "install" necessary. Simply untar the archive.

Note: r08 does not include adb in the sdk archive so I'm pointing to my personal backup in these directions.

The MD5SUM is:

e10c75da3d1aa147ddd4a5c58bfc3646 android-sdk_r07-linux_x86.tgz

mkdir ~/.android

Place this: View attachment adb_usb.ini.txt file in the ~/.android/ directory.

cd ~/.android

mv adb_usb.ini.txt adb_usb.ini

mkdir ~/work

cd ~/work

wget https://sites.google.com/a/op-sec.u...roid-sdk_r07-linux_x86.tgz?attredirects=0&d=1

tar -zxf android-sdk_r07-linux_x86.tgz

cd ~/work/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/

./adb kill-server

./adb devices

You should see your Nook Color if you have it connected to the USB.

You're ready to use the linux version of the script. Just run it from ~/work/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/ and you're all set.:D
[Nook Color Android Development] hartmch:
I tried reflashing after the black screen windows error and now I'm getting "Sorry we're having trouble setting up your NOOKcolor. Please shutdown the device and try again." on the setup screen after finishing all the steps. I've followed the instructions on flash back to clean stock twice now. I had the first version of the script if it makes a difference. Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
No it didn't.

Yada yada... 8 boot attempts and it will fix itself.

Oh the drama! SUGGESTION: Don't do stuff like this unless you understand what you're doing. Your NC isn't bricked. It will recover itself. Worse case: Boot from the nooter SD card, mount the /system partition and set the boot count to 8.
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
Do the two-step reflash/clear as outlined in many of the other posts.

(1) Cause the reflash.

(2) Do the HOME+VOLUME_UP+POWER reinit.

Your NC will be like brand new.
[Nook Color Android Development] juxtyce:
Does that mean there is now a working version of the Windows script if we replace a ' with a "?

Thanks in advance
[Nook Color Android Development] hartmch:
Thanks for the help. I've wiped it several times with both steps from this page nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM

and am getting the same error. Any other ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] Bimboy:
Stuff it, e-thug. I know it's not bricked, but it certainly appeared so at the time, even after factory reset. I wanted to warn people to not use it. I also added a followup post to let people know it wasn't bricked.

Get a life and stop bashing folk. You'll be a better person.

You're welcome.
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
It's possible that B&N is having an issue on their backend servers. That's just a guess. They were fine earlier today but, who knows right now.
[Nook Color Android Development] hartmch:
Thanks. I guess I'll try back after dinner.
[Nook Color Android Development] gormly:
Bimboy you are acting like a butt hurt jerk, no doubt.

1. All the things you do here are beyond warranty and it is understood that you do it at your own risk.

2. Not knowing what things do and do not do is YOUR issue. No one should ever do this kind of thing unless they know what they are doing and the consequences, and by "knowing" I don't mean you've read the how to steps... that's reading, not "knowing".

3. Because YOU made a mistake, you are warning other people and shouting at the top of your lungs about black screen, paperweights and losing "$250.00", when in fact you DIDN'T Brick your nook, so in effect you are warning them about NOTHING.

then when you get called on it, you have the cohones to get mad about it?

When you are ready to takethe panties off come back and join in the fun knowing that you just might actually brick your nook (not really) and quit blaming other people for YOUR DRAMA.

The ignorance and entitlement of some people amaze me.
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
And I'm still really sorry. The windows script worked for me, but after seeing posts in this forum, I realized that it was dependent on a very specific nook and pc configuration and I have spent the last six hours fixing that.

To the extent that I caused Bimboy psychic pain, I'm really sorry.

Windows auto-market script

Windows auto-market script

autonook_0.5.zip http://www.mediafire.com/?n4aj0not6bwbfm2

Just uploaded

autonook_0.8.zip http://www.mediafire.com/?7w3njmzoji0dngj

1) More sanity checks

... a) Checks for the ability to write in the dir.

... b) Checks for the ability to write TO the nook

... c) Checks that adb.exe is in the folder

2) Better order

3) Better job of cleaning up after itself.

This script has been tried now on four Many different PC's on four MANY different nooks.

However, until it has been "out in the wild" it has to be considered a work in progress.

So, attempt to use this at your own risk. If it fails for any reason, please note the failure here, and PM me a copy of the error messages it generated.

If it succeeds, please note that in this thread.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I think it works now, but I'm not guaranteeing.

this script (when it works) does the following:

* Install su and Superuser.apk

* Enable APK installs directly on the device

* Enable Live Wallpapers

* Enable Multitouch for certain apps (Google Maps, etc)

* Download and extract the Google Apps (Market, Gmail, etc)

* to the proper place on your NC and set permissions

* Download and install Youtube

* Edit build.prop and packages.xml to enable Gmail and Market

* Generate an AndroidId for the Market.

* The Android emulator is no longer required.

* Modify the fingerprint of your device to emulate a Verizon

Droid Eris running Android 2.1.

This will let you access protected apps in the Market

that would be otherwise hidden. (SlingPlayer is one)

If after running this, you nook will not boot, you will need to do the two-step flash back to the out-of-the-box state.

http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
[Nook Color Android Development] Bimboy:
Butts not hurt at all. ;) The script DID hose my device, and it WAS recoverable. I warned folk to not use it. Had I not posted that, as soon as I did, that file may still be accessible and others having the same issue I did.

The $250 paperweight was overboard, but that's about it. There's no entitlement, as I frequently donate and privately thank many developers here, and have contributed with ROMs of my own cooking, in past years. Stick around, enjoy your devices, and learn. How about you? :)

I've also learned that those who readily call those ignorant can't see others point of view, and are therefore ignorant themselves.

I'm done, your bashing is yawn-worthy, and not helping this thread.
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
Thanks for your hard work rboatright. I haven't used your script (I'm a linux biggot :D ) but, I have watched the thread as you took some fully-undeserved verbal beatings.

Folks, this stuff might not be rocket science but, if you use someone elses script or howto because you lack the knowledge to do something yourself without them, it had might as well be rocket science. Show some respect for the

$FREE$

work that someone else is doing for your benefit.

Almost there!!

Ok, so it looked like it all installed, but when I do my log-in on You Tube, after it starts to authenticate, I get a "there was a problem with the network(401). I cn view videos, but the market says there was a problem with the server.

Any thoughts?

[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:

[Nook Color Android Development] orion008:
Guys I just used the new .5 windows script on a factory restored Nook. I rooted it using the supernooter image. After that I ran the .bat file and when I get to the robot and try and sign in using my google account it just hangs on the screen saying it might take up to 5 minutes. I tried for about a minute and barks at me about it can't establish a reliable data connection. Any ideas?

The wifi does work for youtube and browsing but just not for signing in.
[Nook Color Android Development] axe2:
Thank you Mistar Muffin and rboatright!

Running the latest version of the Windows script I now get gmail working, but market still cannot connect. It looks like the packages.xml was not modified. I'm trying it again now, saving files to see if I can see what's going wrong. I tried pushing back a modified packages.xml, but that didn't work.

Also, I would suggest some clarification in the last message printed in the Windows script. I'm assuming that "Log in with your Gmail account" should be "Log into YouTube with your Gmail account." Is that correct?
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
When you get to the robot you're supposed to tell it to SKIP signing in.

Then, you sign in to youtube with a gmail address

THEN gmail and market work.
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
Yes, that is correct.

The packages.xml was not modified???? Ok, more sed magic.

Thanks.

Rick
[Nook Color Android Development] antoniouslj:
Chalk another NC up for the crashing gmail and market server unavailable error.

Youtube works fine though...
[Nook Color Android Development] johnopsec:
Are you running the linux or bill-gates-sux Version? That is important information. Also... did you start from a "factory fresh" NC?

[Nook Color Android Development] orion008:
Tried that and it is like I have no netowrk connection and it won't sign in
[Nook Color Android Development] emraith:
Worked flawless first time here, although I didn't just run the .bat file all the way through. I ended up going through the regular instructions and copying sections of the batch into smaller portions and verifying everything worked correct as I went along. Good time saver..thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] zdrifter:
Perhaps most know this, but in order to login to YouTube with your Google account username/password you must have already linked your YouTube and Google accounts. If you are not sure, on your PC or phone go to YouTube and try to login with your Google credentials .. if success, you have already linked them, if not, create a YouTube account and link it to Google ... this may help some of you.
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
Thanks for the catch. Packages.xml was being modified but the adb push command was

adb push .\tmp/packages.xml

instead of

adb push .\tmp\packages.xml

those slashes will kill you...
