Funny that I should read this and at that time my own nook made that booting sound, although the display never came on, but I definitely heard it as if it started up or woke up or something. Odd. I'd be interested to read any insight into this one.

Edit, now that I think of it though, when I woke up the NC I found that it had alerted me to a new email in my gmail inbox. So that's what that sound might have been.
[Nook Color Android Development] zappaziz:
Here is the fix I used. Worked for me.

From NookDevs

If YouTube fails to start

In *some* instances, Youtube will now flake out on you when you try to run it. That's no big deal. Simply uninstall/reinstall Youtube.

download the signed youtube app -- this is a zip file, you will have to unzip it and copy the apk to your adb directory. Then.

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

adb uninstall com.google.android.youtube

adb push signed_YouTube.apk /system/app

adb reboot

At this point, youtube should work normally from now on.

I will second that no issues with mine at all:D

I havent noticed the overly sensitive screen on charge but will check it out???

Not returning mine..........
[Nook Color Android Development] rogerdugans:
I had some issues with the touchscreen getting wacky.

I followed the instructions for recalibrating the screen that are easily found on the NookDevs NookColor portal and it worked like a charm. No problems since, charging or not.
[Nook Color Android Development] MadMikeSS:
Well, I'll revise what I said, it's overly sensitive while it's charging. If it's fully charged and connected to power it works fine. But while it's charging for some reason it's very sensitive. I've read about folks complaining about this in other forums. No biggie really, but annoying.
[Nook Color Android Development] midnightmaraude:
A few things. Cab someone please explain adb to me? Link me to somewhere?

Also. My Nook disconnects from my wireless when it sleeps. Anyway to correct this?

Last. If I create a gmail account as the one I'm using on my EVO can I retrieve all the apps I've purchased from the market or will I have to repurchase then all.
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
ADB, or Android Debug Bridge, is a versatile tool lets you manage the state of an emulator instance or Android-powered device.

It operates from the command line using commands like

ADB install someApp.apk

It is a very powerful tool to manipulate your phone from your PC. Developers can not live without it. It does lots more than just installs and such. Details here: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html

Second, if you use the SAME gmail account you're using on your EVO, then once you have enabled market, you can go into downloads and re-download them onto THIS device.

Regarding the NookColor disconnecting from wifi when it sleeps, this is by design. It is a battery saving technique. To date, no one I know of has found a way to completely prevent that, although I admit I could be wrong. If so, someone will doubtless correct me. But I don't know of one.

I've been having the same problem ever since updating to 1.0.1.

I'm also having issues with the Android market when I go to 'Downloads.' It just gives me a server error with retry/cancel option.

Finally, games like Reckless Racing and Raging Thunder 2, which worked perfectly with 1.0.0 aren't working now since they just hang when they start downloading their extra data to SD.

This sudden behavior is a bit puzzling..
[Nook Color Android Development] italiano1964:
Had the same problem. YouTube wouldn't open up when I clicked on the icon. Do you have Titanium Backup installed? If not, you may want to download it from Market. Then open it and select the YouTube app and click on Wipe Data. That fixed YouTube for me.

hi folks

i've looked it up and couldn't find if Adobe Flash is supported on the browser of a rooted NookColor.

I want to root mine but i'm in doubt and Flash support would be an incentive for me.

thanks!

There is a really good guide to it here on xda. If you get stuck anywhere just ask.

No flash support for 2.1. The android Flash_for 2.1 does not work. We will have to wait til 2.2 is out or 2.2/2.3 ROMs become available.

Is there a way i can backup the registration info, reset nookcolor, run auto-nooker and then copy the registration info (databae) back to the nc...

or

can someone point out where is the info stored...

This is useful if you don't have wifi access...
[Nook Color Android Development] nook'r:
As of now, none of the browser i tried support flash (Daulphin, Skyfire, Opera Mini and Opera Mobile), Android 2.2 does... but all the port apks i tried non of them works... so my suggestion is either we have to wait for the new update from BN or if CM get ported to NC...

Some said they have success with flash 10.1... but unfortunately not me...

I hope i answered your question...
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Thats for windows. I cant figure out how to install sdk on linux. It's probably something easy but I can't figure it out:p

thanks folks for the answers.

I guess i'll wait then for 2.2 since i'm not eager to root my NC.

You don't have a working wifi connection. Tap the wifi icon. Turn it off. Turn it on. Go into market or your game. I'll bet it works.

I have factory reset, cleared wiped, etc... twice today.

Each time I have installed 1.0.1 and after I have added this auto-nooter, everything seems to work, and then after a reset, my N button is no longer functioning.

The only thing I'm doing is installing the 1.0.1 the way B&N suggests, run the auto-nooter and then I'm installing Zeam as my first app.

Any suggestions?

I just want to say thanks for the updated nooter. I decided to reset my NC and do the 1.01 update. Its much nicer then when did all the mods by hand. This time around everything seems to run smoother and less buggy. Don't know if its the update or the new nooter but I think the update and redo was worth it.

Had to reboot one extra time

Thanks tons for putting to this together and keeping it updated. I have used both the 1.0.0 and the 1.0.1 versions.

After the Auto-Nooter did it's thing and my NC rebooted it behaved strangely. It was sluggish and the menu button didn't work among other little odd things. Since I couldn't get to the menu to sign into YouTube to finish the root process I powered off, removed the SD, and then booted it up. Everything worked fine after that.
[Nook Color Android Development] MadMikeSS:
Same here, after nooter ran everything worked fine, then the home button stopped working. I rebooted and it was all fine after that. I guess the most important thing is to remember to reboot after auto-nooter finishes. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] midnightmaraude:
My gmail was working fine. I added a second acct. My questions are how do u retrieve apps you've paid for previously using your Android market.

[Nook Color Android Development] moovius:
I've tried 2 complete wipe cycles (8 times hold power factory reset, and then the simpler 3 button hold to wipe method). I've installed 1.0.1 after each attempt. Ran the nooter each time.

Both times the N button has stopped responding and resetting the device doesn't alleviate the issue.

The N button works fine before nooter, and (on the last attempt) seemed to work good right after nooter, but putting Zeam from android market and soon after N button no longer works. (I don't know if it's related to Zeam, but there's not a thing else I'm doing differently).
[Nook Color Android Development] menardrs1:
Complete Wipe:

1 Factory Reset > Wipes /data

2 8 Failed Boots > Wipes /system

You must do both of these to completely wipe clean your NOOKcolor.

I do not get the Request for Factory Reset when performing #1. How can I proceed from this point with a fresh WIPE? HELP I am dead in the water! I have an incomplete Droid and a Nook Color that will not register.

[Nook Color Android Development] kahibbi:
SD isn't taking the autorooter...

Long time XDA member (WinMo) but new to Droid and desire to root my NC. Thread seems straight forward, but I can't get the rooter onto the SD card. I just get back an error when I try the Restore. I've tried it on two (2) different computers ... 64-bit and 32-bit. I've tried 8.5 and 8.1 of WinImage. I've reformatted the card. I've downloaded the root (img.zip) file twice. All these steps in the last couple of hours and all lead to the exact same error.

The first time I tried it, the WinImage Restore stopped at 1% with a red X ... no explanation of what happened. The remaining many times it just read 0% and the red X.

Any ideas? Sure was hoping to get the NC to where most of you have gotten it. I've changed OSs on my old WinMo stuff for years. So I'm new to following instructions.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks all. I rooted last nite with no issues. Got Youtube working again today using Titanium Backup and wiping the cache. Everything was easy thanks to all the devs and instructions in the forums.

Does this can be used with NC Serial Number 2004*

I just got my NOOKcolor and read some article from nookdevs.com

and found that the serial number with 1003* have to do some special trick for rooting.

So, Is this AutoNooter can be used to root my NC?

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] mbh87:
After you download zeam what are you selecting as your default home? How do you have soft keys setup?
[Nook Color Android Development] VillainousVivi:
The 1003* is in relation to the nook B&W, the nookColor hasn't had a hardware refresh as of yet.

You can run AutoNooter just fine with any nookColor that's out so far (well, as of this weekend, I guess, since that's when my boss got his, and we rooted it today).

Remove the microSD Card?

Am I supposed to leave the microSD with autonooter in my NC after I install it? Or can I remove the SD card/erase it and load other stuff onto it?
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
Switch to win32diskimage, a freeware program from the Ubuntu project which is MUCH easier to use and more reliable.

Unlike winimage, it only does one thing.

See the instructions on the wiki at nookdevs.com
[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
You take it out after the system reboots.
[Nook Color Android Development] mfdoomesq:

[Nook Color Android Development] rboatright:
you can only do the restore device and deregister if the device is in fact registered... otherwise you have to do the three-key reset.

The procedure is:

Upgrade to 1.0.1

Register with BN... use a credit card number if you didn't before...

Autonooter

Do the followup steps.

just did auto nooter on my nook and it worked great(have utube/email market exept when i try to install/download anything from the market place it just says downloading and never installs or downloads. Am i missing something? did i skip a step?
[Nook Color Android Development] cnuckols1:
Just did autonooter and it worked great. A few things i'm noticing, the market place only shows a few apps at a time with no ability to scroll down. Also, launcher pro semi crashes when i try to change the shortcut on the scrollable laucher dock. Anyone have any suggestions about these two glitches.
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
Don't worry about taking it out immediately after, it's not going to go into any loops or anything, auto-nooter cleans up after itself. But yes, you just remove the card and reformat it. For me in Linux I just did mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdX but in Windows you'll need to probably repartition it, as it creates like a 39M partition and the rest unpartitioned.
[Nook Color Android Development] mfdoomesq:
I appreciate that. I was mostly concerned that I might have to leave the card in there, glad to hear I can take it out.
[Nook Color Android Development] xfactor6:

Still Cannot write to microSD

I have tried this but I still cannot get neither win32disk imager or any version of winimage to write to my microSD.

Win32DiskImager recognizes my device (autoselects its drive "F" for me), however, when I select "write" the error message says : "An Error occurred when attempting to write data from handle. Error 8:"

When I use winimage. I can select the drive it is in, select Restore virtual hard disc image. Select my disc. When it starts to write an error message comes up and says: "Error in writing disc 2, error 19: The media is write protected"

I have searched for hours trying to find a solution someone has already posted but to no avail, so I ask for your help.

It's the SanDisk card reader that came with the micro. So it's micro, into the SD-sized adapter, into the reader. The SD-sized adapter has a 'lock' slider, but it is unlocked.

UPDATE: Did see an internal SD drive on the 64-bit laptop. Stuck the SD adapter, stuck it in, the laptop asked if I wanted to reformat it, I figured 'what the heck' and said yes, followed the steps using WinImage and got the exact same error as before. I just got a red X with no details. I'll try to find the other imaging app mentioned a few posts back.

[Nook Color Android Development] TheSixthPanda:
Okay, still unable to write onto my microSD. Both winimage and Win32discimager allow me to write onto the microSD and both show they are complete but nothing ends up being written to the microSD. WTF?

So, I run the Winimage, select the drive, select the Restore Virtual Hard Disc, click click click, progress bar completes. microSD still says 1.82GB free (out of 1.82 GB). I think hell, maybe my computer isnt reading it or something so I try it in the nook accordingly. When I plug in the USB it just starts like normal and doesnt seem to be booting off the microSD. I have the new nook software installed and the correct auto nooter image file (unzipped onto my desktop). . . What am I missing here?

The microSD is in an adapter in a slot in my laptop. I just did a factory reset and will try doing this again once I figure out this SD problem .

Update: I originally downloaded the autonooter file with google chrome. I redownloaded it with explorer and tried writing my microSD and it worked like a charm. Maybe I had a bad file or something. I am going to continue with the root and hope all goes according to plan!
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
