Just for clarification, in steps 3 & 4 should the NC be turned off? I have never been sure if it matters, but the following statement makes me think that it should be off,

"5 Plug the USB cable into your computer and your NOOKcolor. (This will boot up the NOOKcolor.)"

Thanks,

The main difference I see is that Clockwork recovery is not involved.
[Nook Color Android Development] bretzke:
I guess it should be the same, but I had a couple of games break after up'ing with 1.1_r2. So I wanted to try stock/clean 1.1 and then root...hoping this would bring them back.
[Nook Color Android Development] trentmaynard:
help please

I'm having a problem rooting my nook color. 2 weeks ago I was fully rooted and for some reason I forget why? but I went back to stock. recently I updated to the newest Barnes & noble firmware. seeing the recent developments of honeycomb I wanted to root my nook again. so I tried downgrading to firmware before the most recent update and using that version of auto nooter. I followed the instructions exactly to a tee. the problem is my nook wont load the disk image from the sd card. I made sure to fully format the sd card before writing the img with Win32DiskImager. I made sure the nook was completely off then plugging in the usb to into the pc to wake up the nook. but nothing? the nook boots up like normal then says sd card damaged. I've formatted the sd card again and have used the newest nooter for my current 1.1. but nothing. the only difference is the first time I rooted I was at my mothers and used her pc. it was a windows vista 64 bit. my computer is windows seven 64 bit. anyone have any idea's as to why the nook wont load the sd card with the nooter image? I'm using the same sd card I was able to root from before. so I seriously doubt its the sd card. I am properly formatting it before writing the img. I am having no problem writing the img. any help would be appreciated
[Nook Color Android Development] danbutter:
Ok thanks for that clarification. I was pretty sure I read it somewhere!!
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
You probably have a bad burn on the sdcard. Are you writing to the sdcard from the sd card reader or from the nook? Also, if you return to stock, (8 failed boots, then Power+N) You should be on firmware 1.0.0 or 1.0.1. Then root using one of the two original auto nooters, download rom manager from the market and flash the 1.1 pre-rooted firmware.
[Nook Color Android Development] trentmaynard:
Thanks buddy, I try doing that. and I don't have an sd card reader so I just put the sd card that I'm going to write into my cell phone. then mount the sd card and write the img to the same storage device that represents the sd card. I'm sure this is the wrong way of doing it but I have gotten root doing the same thing before
[Nook Color Android Development] usernotfound:
Giving this a go now, coming from auto-nootered 1.0.1.

How do you get the Gingerbread Keyboard to work? When I select it in NookColor Tools, nothing shows up when I open up a text box.
[Nook Color Android Development] buffalosolja42:
Re:

Mine did the same thing check to make sure that you unzipped it correctly I used 7zip and it increased the file size for some reason resulting in errors. Make sure the device is off when you place the sd card in or sometimes from my brief experience my nook would format or change contents.

Re image your sd card and try again make sure that the size of image is close to 124,672 or something along that line and then make an image on sd and try it again.

Don't sound stupid we all are here learning and helping each other, its not based on Honeycomb from my understanding just the autonooter for the 1.1 systems (rev change with upgraded packages)

Really not sure as I clicked it and it didn't come up either, but I will try again later (really I am trying to figure out the sideloading of apps driving me nuts lol)
[Nook Color Android Development] Rattor:
What size is the image supposed to be? Mine is showing up as 121 MB (127,664,128 bytes) after being unzipped. The zip file is 74.0 MB (77,698,827 bytes).

I am ensuring that the device is off when I insert the SD card, and I'm still getting problems.
[Nook Color Android Development] pman555:
Just wanted to say thanks for your work!

I had been using Deeper Blue's honeycomb running off of my sd card, but I got tired of having to reboot my NC every time I wanted to check my email or do something else in android. Now, I can do everything I want all while reading my book!

I'm currently using Zeam launcher, but the dock is a litle small for me. Any suggestions? I installed Zeam because I had heard it was very lightweight, I dont want anything that will bog down my NC.

I did not like the softkeys experience.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] buffalosolja42:
121 mb is correct make sure your imageing software is correct, I am assuming you are running that and that you have a dedicated sd card reader. I would format (long) before I did the image creation.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Go into Zeam preferences (click the menu the click preferences)

Go to Dock and set Item spacing to large

separates the icons better, this does cut down on the number of icons on the dock
[Nook Color Android Development] Rattor:
I'm using Win32DiskImager. I'll try to do an extensive reformat and try again. Will report back with results.

I am also using an SD card reader built into my laptop.

[Nook Color Android Development] Oskiee:
Hey, i just picked up a NC last night, and im looking to root it, but i have a number of questions before i proceed.

1. I have a 4gb microSD card that is Class2. One website i read said that i needed atleast a class 6. Is this true? can i get by on the class 2 until i can afford a class 6 (the only one i found online was a 16gb and was $80... i just spent 250 last night, im not really in the mood to spend some more at the moment) If i cant, are there any class 6's that arent $80?

2. Im not really concerned about keeping the original software thats on the nook, i bought it to hack and learn. im wondering how advanced is it to put nookiefroyo or even the honeycomb on internal memory. I do have expirience flashing (and breaking and fixing) my vibrant and G1 almost every week, so im not extremly new to this, but i understand theres syntax involved...

Thanks for any answers :OD
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Using Class 2 may work okay, but it will be real slow..

I found this at CompUSA

http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7095082&CatId=1579

32.99 for a 16GB Class 10.

I will know in a couple of days how well it performs.
[Nook Color Android Development] buffalosolja42:
For one you have more android experience than me, honestly nookiefroyo and honeycomb I haven't tried yet but for performancd I see why you would need it. As far as nooter goes I know my sd card wasn't a class 6 lol but it flahsed nooter. So it is the same as me telling you that Win7 needs a 1ghz processor and 1 gig ram, when I can install it with less and still run. If you are running from sd I suggest that the speed be there though. If you are just nootering (lol love the way that plays on words) I don't think speed of card is issue just size. But again you are probably more qualified in Andorid world than I am.
[Nook Color Android Development] Rattor:
Does it directly fit a uSD card or are you using an adapter?
[Nook Color Android Development] Oskiee:
Is there a way that i can back up the nooks software, and then bypass the SD car bs completely? I or i need to nooter it before anything else, because i need to root it.
[Nook Color Android Development] buffalosolja42:
using an adapter
[Nook Color Android Development] buffalosolja42:
when you nooter it keeps the nook software on there ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] Rattor:
That's it. My built-in SD card reader was doing something incorrect. I used an external one that my wife had lying around, and it booted into android on the first try.

Thanks for all your help, buffalosolja.
[Nook Color Android Development] buffalosolja42:
Question about installing apps

What it does:

Installs su and Superuser.apk

Installs Busybox with whoami

Installs Softkeys 3.0.6

Installs NookColor Tools (To Enable Non-Market Installs, and re-enable ADB)

Installs Calendar and Calculator.

Installs Android Market, Gmail, Youtube

Installs Gingerbread Keyboard

Enable ADB

Enable Multi-touch for Android Apps

Enables Live Wallpapers

Enables Android Market and Gmail.

App Auto Install (Open up NooterFiles from sdcard drop in /data/app)

above states what it does, now auto app install do I just create that directory on the disk before nootering, which means I need to nooter again correct?
[Nook Color Android Development] Oskiee:

I'm a bit confused on this 3.0 Auto Nooter. Does this install Honeycomb? It sounds like it does, but not one message in this whole thread actually says that. Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] mrapollinax:
Autonooter 3.0 =/= Honeycomb

Autonooter unfortunately uses the same numbering convention as the Android Releases. This autonooter release works with the B&N 1.1.0 (Eclair) release. FROYO IS NOT INCLUDED.

[Nook Color Android Development] jostarr:
I have had two failed attempts at using Auto Nooter 3 over the last few days. My NC was on 1.0.1 out of the box. Then, after using it a day or so, I updated it to 1.1.0. I did not Wipe it before updating to 1.1.0. I then tried Auto Nooter 3. The NC never booted, and after removing the PC, it would not turn on. If I waited overnight, the NC finally would turn on and be back at 1.1.0. This happened twice!

I have re-read the instructions and they say: If you want to update to 1.1.0 and then root it Auto Nooter, first you have to Completely Wipe, if it is not a out-of-box NOOKColor and then Update your NC to 1.1.0.

This is confusing, Do you wipe before updating to 1.1.0, or, do you wipe before using Auto Nooter 3???

On both attempts, I didn't wipe. What happens if you don't wipe first?

How do you wipe?
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I can't help myself, With soft toilet paper:rolleyes:

Not sure what type of SD Card you are using if it is a Class 2 expect the reboot time to be really really really slow.. If at all.

Your SDCard should be formatted fat32 then the image written with WinImage.

turn off the NC

insert the Freshly WinImaged SDCard

Plug in the NC (try going to the power plug not the computer)

watch the light on the cable you should see some green orange flashes...

Walk away for the NC I know how tempting it is to start pushing the power button, Leave it alone walk away

Did I say walk away.

If your SDCard is working as it should in a while your Nook will be at the lock screen...

I did this process without wiping and after an auto update to 1.1,it worked, the big question here is the speed and state of the SD Card.
[Nook Color Android Development] jostarr:
Are you saying to plug the Nook into the wall charger (Not the PC)???

I have seen several different sets of instuctions, and a Youtube video, and no-one says to plug the NC into the wall charger.

I might just try yourb approach. Thanks for the info.

My NOOK is booting v 1.1.0 right now.

Ok, I am going to try auto nooter 3 one more time this afternoon around 3pm.

This time I will write image to card using winimage 8.1 NOT 8.5. I've seen where 8.5 on xp pro might cause a problem.

I will make sure my NC is at 100% charge.

I will wait at least 30 minutes before disconnecting from the PC.

I will let you know the results later today.

Any other last minute suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] guardianali:
i got my nook auto nootered successfully. Upong doing the last step (formatting card from in nc), i restared my NC to see if it stuck. Upon rebooting, it said something about it detecting something not right and reseting it back.

Upon restarting, it looks rooted still (the superuser app is there) but all the autonooter stuff (market, youtube, etc..) are gone and the boot screen is also back to the normal BN bootscreen.

Did i do something wrong? anyway to prevent this?

Issue with Market and Gmail

I'm running the stock autonooter 3.0. Running Zeam launcher.

No other kernel tweaks or anything like that.

I'm running into issues when I am in the Gmail app and ask for it to refresh my email. It starts to refresh, then quits out on itself back to my homescreen. Is that happening to anyone else? Also, it doesnt receive my email very quickly. My android phone will receive my email long before my nook does. Is that just due to my phone having constant cell reception and my nook only checking for email over wifi in certain increments (every 10 min, etc.)?

Also I am noticing that not all apps are showing up in the market. The only test I've done is searching for Angry Birds. The only Angry Birds that is showing up is Seasons. The original isnt showing up. I've read that it takes a few days for all the apps to show up. I nooted on monday night, and as of Wednesday night, not all apps are showing. Anyone know anything about that?

Thanks in advance!

[Nook Color Android Development] jostarr:
The instructions say:

5. Plug the USB cable into your computer and your NOOKcolor. (This will boot up the NOOKcolor.)

This may be silly questions, but:

a. What happens if you just turn the NC on?

b. Can you plug it into the charger in lieu of the PC?
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
You can plug into the charger, not sure what would happen if you just turn it on..
[Nook Color Android Development] mrapollinax:
@jostarr I think it is more of an issue of interrupting the install while the screen is off. If done correctly the NC will boot into the autonooter boot animation and turn on. Even though the NC is doing stuff while the screen is off you are still able to hold down the power button to force a shutoff during this process.
[Nook Color Android Development] jostarr:
Thanks, but I really want to know why it is necessary to plug it into the computer to get it to start up and read the sd card.
[Nook Color Android Development] mrapollinax:
That I could not tell you for sure. All I know is that plugging your Nook into the PC will start the boot process. Probably it is the most full-proof way of doing this because people could mess up the process when pushing buttons.
[Nook Color Android Development] devilisht2003:

Even after turning the screen into landscape mode, some apps such as the original Angry Birds won't show up. I'm guessing others apps such as ADW Launcher and Launcher Pro won't either, but I don't have a device in front of me. I just help others configure them.

Normally you'd just clear out the cache in the Market, force close it, go to Google Framework or whatever, clear the data and force close it, reboot etc, but I don't think we have those options here...
[Nook Color Android Development] yazyazoo:
Yah I don't have the normal Angry Birds in my apps section. Just the seasons version.

How do we get full Apps.?
[Nook Color Android Development] redking79:
re: Angry Birds

Isn't it possible they took Angry Birds off the Android Market and replaced it with Angry Birds Seasons? If you REALLY want Angry Birds, couldn't you download the .apk and install it yourself... ?
[Nook Color Android Development] Hextall:
The developers of Angry Birds accidentally changed the required permissions to include reading SMS (or something to do with SMS). Since the nooks don't have the ability to send/recieve SMS, and the market "knows" this, then apps that require SMS do not show up.

That's the story I heard a while back.

If you can find the Angry Birds apk on your phone, or find threads that link the apk, then you can put on your SD card, navigate to it with root explorer and install it that way.

Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons can be loaded on the nook... the former requires non-market installation.

During setup YouTube loaded and played fine. But now when I click the YouTube icon in extras the screen flashes to a blank screen and just goes back to the extras screen.

How do I fix this?

Also how do I get apps I download onto the home screens?tia
[Nook Color Android Development] borntochill:
I had the same problem.

To solve it, here's the quick and easy fix: download and install Titanium Backup from the Android Market if you don't already have it installed. Run Titanium Backup, then go to its Backup/Restore tab. Scroll down the list of applications and select YouTube. From the pop-up menu, click the Wipe data button. Once I did that, I haven't had a problem with YouTube since.

I've not found a way to do this without installing a third party launcher application. There may be other methods, but here's the one I've found that works:

Download and install the Zeam launcher from Android Market. Once you've installed Zeam, from its applications grid press-and-hold the app you want to appear on the home page. The home page will then open and you can move and release the app icon wherever you want it to appear on the home page or drop the icon in the Zeam dock if you prefer.
[Nook Color Android Development] chrisngrod:
Yeah they could have, but they didn't. What developer would abandon that much work?

I think the point is that there are a good number of apps that cannot be accessed. Many would like to save the hassle of download everything to their phone and grabbing the apks off of there OR trying to find the apk online somewhere.

The explanation below yours was good and informative. I've heard that one before too. That's why I tell people who I customize Nooks for just to keep the phone apk, messaging and etc anyways. Some are so anal though that they can't stand seeing those icons... lmao...

At this point, I'm suffering total and complete Gmail app failure -- it suffers FC's anytime I try to" refresh" or" archive"! :( There are threads in the General and Themes/Apps forums with several other AN 3.0 users experiencing the exact same problems...

-- reflashing gapps1.1 zip using CWM

-- manually deleting and replacing Gmail.apk (using root explorer and via adb)

-- uninstalling Gmail and then reinstalling from market

-- wiping data for Gmail and Gmail storage apps using Titanium Backup

Nothing has worked, and im right back where I started... Gmail is completely broken/useless.

I used this AN 3.0 on my clean 1.1.

[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
The stock email client doesn't work with labels and archive function, does it? Did you have to go through the "manual" update procedure for pop3/imap/etc?

EDIT: ok, wow... I just did a total system wipe and tried again using the 1.1r2 update on auto-nootered 1.01. After installing all my apps again, my gmail now fails the same ways it was failing under AN3.0 -- wont refresh (download new emails), and FC's every time I hit "archive"... DOH!!

My only guess is that some app I'm installing is breaking it -- or something in the 1.1 update itself hoses it up. Nothing else makes sense.

Not having the gmail app sucks... :(

Is there a free or paid alternative that works with archiving and labels?
