Problems with Auto-nooter 3.0: youtube and market

I'm having trouble with an auto-nootered 1.1 NC as well. My issues are similar to ones posted previously w.r.t. Youtube app and Market. Perhaps added detail will help.

Here's what I did:

1. reset NC to factory settings using procedure on Nook Color Portal on nookdevs.

1a. I used adb to simulate the 8 restarts

1b. I reset the data using the 'hold down the n key' method. It asked me to reset everything.

2. Installed the 1.1 sideload zip file on the NC.

3. Restarted and got the 'you are now upgraded to the latest 1.1 version' message.

4. Burned auto-nooter 3.0 sd card using dd on linux. SD looked fine after mounting.

5. Ran auto-nooter. Worked fine. When it restarted I:

5a. skipped account login

5b. accepted location services.

5c. Went to Youtube app and 'my channel' and added an account and authenticated. Said I was signed in. Tested youtube and it worked fine on some random video on the home screen.

5d. Went to gmail. Signed in using gmail account. Got to the "waiting for sync" screen which says " "This account is not configured to sync automatically" I pressed Menu->Refresh

5e. Went to Market app and signed in using google account, then accepted terms of service.

Everything looked fine at this point. Now, I tried downloading the facebook android app. Found it in the market and asked it to download. Looks like it is working fine. Switched to "Downloads" and it says "Starting download...." and hangs there forever.

After waiting 10 minutes or so, I reboot. After rebooting:

1. Youtube app exits as soon as it is selected. Tried clearing cache and restarting, same effect.

2. Market continues to say "Starting download..." for facebook app previously downloaded. Attempts to download any other app are the same. Starting download, but never actually transfers any data. (Yes, wifi is working as can be seen with the browser.)

I must be good at following instructions, because I then reset back to 1.0.0 and did the whole procedure again with exactly the same results.

Suggestions? Am I doing something wrong?

[Update: See post #83, below.]
[Nook Color Android Development] sincerity:
any idea why when trying to restore virual hd image it goes to 100% and then says error reading file?

NEVERMIND...

must extract .img file from zip :) missed that part...or perhaps it should've been intuitive.
[Nook Color Android Development] thisisjjd:
Other problems resolved, youtube problem remains

After more time elapsed (60 min and several reboots?) I got a notification that I had gmail messages. After this point, gmail worked fine. Tried the market and the market now worked fine as well.

The problem with youtube exiting immediately after starting remains. Still looking for suggestions on how to resolve that.

Thanks,

[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
Market has been acting weird recently on all Android devices.

As for youtube, you have to clear the youtube data, as described in the nookdevs wiki page. I've heard it might need this after every reboot, not sure, I don't use the app.
[Nook Color Android Development] sincerity:
so if CWM doesn't work with this...how do you flash roms?
[Nook Color Android Development] thisisjjd:
Interesing. Thanks for this.

I tried removing the app data using the adb method I found there and after removing the data, youtube would indeed run.

If I subsequently stopped the Youtube app and restarted it, and followed the instructions to link "My Channels" to my gmail account, the previous behavior returned where it wouldn't run at all.

If I did it again, but didn't follow the "My Channels" authentication, it would work fine subsequently!

Thanks for your help.

Go finish the steps in the OP

If you made it this far your nook should be successfully Rooted. Go Download an App to make sure.

16 Enable Non-Market Installs by running the NookColor Tools App.

17 If your Youtube fails to launch, download the attached EVO HQ, and follow this code in adb

Code:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb uninstall com.google.android.youtube
adb push YouTube.apk /system/app
adb reboot
[Nook Color Android Development] digitalicecream:
Not sure how well this works but I'm wondering if this takes into account CWM. Once I have 1.0.1 with CWM and when I entered the commands to reboot CWM came up on reboot immediately. Thereafter all I could do was to reboot.

Rather than finding out the hardway, I'll ask the question; "Does this work with CWM installed or have I changed my Nook so that I can no longer update it until CM or some other variant is released for my nook?
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I don't think CWM works with 1.1 yet, when I tried I ended up in a loop to recovery..
[Nook Color Android Development] yamanote:
CWR, as others have stated, seems to force the Nook into a reboot loop [to recovery].

Any way to overclock without using CWR?
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
OK, that's a huge problem for me.

It sounds like I'll have to stick with 1.01 until a REAL auto-nooter 3.x arrives... :(
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
With out access to the boot partition I don't think there is a way

[Nook Color Android Development] DZ469:
Yeah, I can definitely confirm CWR goes into a reboot loop if installed on a 3.0 rooted nook. Had to format /system and /data and then install stock 1.0.1. So if you're thinking about doing 3.0 with CWR, don't do it
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
Uninstalling the youtube app is NOT NECESSARY thus my suggestion and the nookdevs wiki instructions.

I just got a Nook Color and immediately rooted it. Love it.

I updated to 1.1 and used this to root it. I had a Youtube issue.... I uninstalled it and then tried reinstalling it...

Slow WiFi reconnect

This is running great with a singular exception.

on a fresh reboot WiFi connects quickly, if the tablet goes to sleep, on wake up reconnect time seems very lengthy.

Is there a way to shorten that time or set a longer time before WiFi shuts down?

Creation of SD Card

I have a 16 gig SD that I have used to ROOT the NOOK in the past. Now I am on a restored BN stock with 1.1 and want the 3.0 to work.

I have checked the MD5 and it is ok, I have tried WinImage and get access denied. When I use Win32DiskImager it works ok, but the SD is only 39 MEG and the files do not appear correct. I am not even going to try it.

The SD does not create with the amount of data a 124 meg Image should create.

What are the possible issues, I only have a Windows 7 notebook so I have not access to Linux to try it via another OS.

Ideas?

thanks

[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
use EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Home Edition this product from your windows 7 laptop

create a single Primary partition

Image the card with WinImage

run EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Home Edition again

look for the sdcard partition

right mouse button on that partition and select re-size

click and drag the bar to the right and re-size sdcard to your desired sized.

eject the SDCARD from your windows t laptop

Turn off the NC

insert the card

turn on the NC

wait for it to boot and have fun...
[Nook Color Android Development] Snyperx:
I had an issue with my NC so I restored it back to 1.1. I then re-rooted using autonooter 3.0. I am now having an issue where the menu button on the softkeys will not work. I restored to 1.1 a second time and re-rooted again. Same result. Any idea as to why the menu key in softkeys will not work?
[Nook Color Android Development] mrapollinax:
Sounds like you didn't setup your system correctly after Nootering. You needed to select Softkeys as your default home app. If you didn't do this the menu button won't work. If that isn't the case then check to see if USB debugging is turned on.
[Nook Color Android Development] ewong90:
try a reboot to get superuser permissions or use button savior instead
[Nook Color Android Development] Snyperx:
Thanks everyone. I reset my softkeys to the default launcher and it seems to be working fine now. I thought I had done that earlier, but apparently not. Thanks again.

When I install apps through the market, are they suppose to automatically show under extras?

I have to power down/up the NC for the apps to show itself under extras.
[Nook Color Android Development] jasoraso:
That is a known issue with the Nook home screen. If you switch to a different home screen (like Zeam or ADW) the apps show up immediately.
[Nook Color Android Development] jtpryan:
All is working great! I love this. But, I install things from the market and they don't show up in my extras. How come? Where do they go?

From the Market?
[Nook Color Android Development] rohit275:
I asked this on reddit's nookcolor page just a few hours ago and found this solution thanks to some help:

If you want to get the apps to show up under "Extras" without rebooting, you need to into your app manager and kill the "AppLauncher". When you restart it, it will repopulate the list with all the recently installed apps.
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
If you're using any reasonable number of Android apps (let's say more than 10), use a launcher.... If you want to see the B&N stuff, just hit the softkey shortcut thing.

I accidentally hit Extras sometimes typing (space bar, miss, hit softkey, then wind up hitting some random shortcut within it) and it's SOO SLOW.

try ADW Launcher or other launchers... You CAN add the B&N apps directly to it, but you won't see books directly.
[Nook Color Android Development] pryoslice:
Thank you, worked great!

Got a little tricky when I flashed back to stock and didn't realize stock was 1.0.1. Downloaded and installed the 1.1 update, and then things went smoothly.
[Nook Color Android Development] ganovim:
cannot get to it from adb since the regular nook usb message comes up and disables any input on the nook color.

Also how do I increase the bit reslotion like I can on Nookie Froyo?
[Nook Color Android Development] rohit275:
Oh believe me, I'm 100% aware.

I was just responding to a question on the previous page about how to get the apps to show up right away without a reboot.
[Nook Color Android Development] usernotfound:
With the previous auto-nooter for 1.0.1, I needed to remove the cell standby service to prevent it from draining by battery in 3 hours of use...but I have yet to do it with this nooter, and everything seems to be okay with my battery life. Has anyone else noticed this?
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
WOW. That's the most nonsense I've heard in at least the last hour. No, the cell standby stuff amounts to zero battery usage. Period. It's a non-issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
There was some other issue causing your battery drain. Disabling the phone apks simply causes a cosmetic change in how the standby power consumption is reported. No actual power is saved by disabling software that operates hardware which doesn't exist.
[Nook Color Android Development] unreal2k:
I received the nook color today and i'm trying to root it. I read that other people waited for some time for the nook to reboot after they inserted the sd card and plug it to the usb on the computer but i have been waiting for 35 minutes now. Is this normal or something not working right?
[Nook Color Android Development] Omega Ra:
I just finished rooting mine and all seems well, except the download of ATK doesn't want to start, it is just saying starting download and doesn't seem to continue...ans secondly...what is that little arrow widget that pops up after picking softkeys that I can't get rid of??
[Nook Color Android Development] unreal2k:
How long did you wait at the black screen before it rebooted?
[Nook Color Android Development] Omega Ra:
not long. it was black screen, I logged onto nook devs to refresh my memory, shortly after it did it's thing and rebooted, I went through the setup, Gmail didn't sync, but everything else worked...except downloading...
[Nook Color Android Development] unreal2k:
Man, there is something wrong with mine, it hasn't booted and i have waited for 50 min now. Any ideas, anyone?
[Nook Color Android Development] Omega Ra:
did you cancel through the driver update things?
[Nook Color Android Development] Omega Ra:
okay downloading works...I DL'ed Solitaire and Angry Birds Seasons, just Advanced Task Killer doesn't want to Download.
[Nook Color Android Development] unreal2k:
ok, i rebooted manually and all is good, i setup gmail, youtube and market. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] Omega Ra:
so how do I get rid of that little circle with the arrow in it that I can move around the screen but does nothing and is the icon for softkeys??
[Nook Color Android Development] mrapollinax:
Open the app drawer, open softkeys, then hit the menu button and uncheck "run service." That should take care of the softkey shortcut.
[Nook Color Android Development] Omega Ra:
yeah took me a while, but i figured it out...now if only I could get ADB working right...I get the Androidn interface thing in the Device manager...but it doesn't show when I type adb devices...

[Nook Color Android Development] ccapasso:
Any thoughts on the protected apps like Angry Birds, Amazon, etc?

These don't show up in the market, and I believe it is due to the build.prop file and the nook not technically being allowed to download from the market.

Any ideas on a fix?
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I am not having that issue, all programs are showing up.

Have you tried clearing the market cache in Manage Applications?

Nope. I read that early this morning and had to go to work. Will be giving it a shot later today and will post results.
[Nook Color Android Development] usernotfound:
With my first root, I immediately noticed I was unable to get through a full day without my Nook dying, and using a normal USB connection to a computer, my battery % would continue to go DOWN over the course of a few hours instead of charging slowly.

I never paid attention to what % battery usage was reported by which service, only that it said it after 15 hours (standby for 12 hours, 3 hours of reading) the battery would be around 10%. I renamed the .apk's mentioned in the "super battery life" thread, and my battery life went back to normal (~9 hours of reading over 3 days on a single charge).

Perhaps my exchange acct. was configured for PUSH email or something that was ACTUALLY using the battery, and when I removed the .apks for the "super battery life" suggestion, it affected how often that ran. Either way, it was a night and day change, and the only change I ever made aside from adding my exchange email and the DirecTV app.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with this root, I just wondered if something had been done differently in this version that could lead me to why my previous auto-nooter experience did affect my battery life.
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
Push would definitely add a lot of drain to it, but not the cell standby stuff ;) So I assume the problem has gone away? Good to hear.

I've actually found mine churning on Pulse once and something else another time, dropping 4-5%/hr when in standby.. But only found it a few times, and I blame Android 2.1, as I had the same thing happen on my Nexus One before it got 2.2.

BTW, I use Battery Snap to monitor my battery on my N1 and my NC for as long as I've had both devices, if you haven't, give it a try.

[Nook Color Android Development] usernotfound:
Yeah, it's fine in this nooter. I still have push enabled, but since wifi is off in standby it really doesn't do anything most of the day, and I still get >8 hours of reading on a single charge.
[Nook Color Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I got a question...probably a dumb one. Do I use this with the Nook stock software or with Android installed on the internal memory? LOL.
[Nook Color Android Development] Omega Ra:
stock. The stock IS android. But just put the card in and let it do it's thing. I did mine last night.
[Nook Color Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
So If I install Honeycomb on internal memory rather then from the sd card, it will be rooted already?
[Nook Color Android Development] Omega Ra:
that I don't know. I am fairly new to Android. I just know about this as I did it last night :)
[Nook Color Android Development] khaytsus:
This (Auto Nooter) and Honeycomb or Nookie Froyo are all mutually exclusive.

Auto Nooter roots and enhances the stock Barnes and Noble ROM.

I'm stuck between steps 5 and 6:

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

6 Your NookColor will reboot when it's done.

My nook has been on the blank screen for about 40 min. now with the usb cable plugged in. I've made sure the microsd card is formatted properly and I'm on 1.1.0

How much longer should I wait, or should I try something different?

I've found similar posts, but they've mostly just said "it works now," I'd like a little explanation on why or how someone got it working

Some people have turned the Nook off and and back with the SDCARD in the NOOK.

[Nook Color Android Development] jerrai:
Unfortunately, that didn't work for me, but I appreciate the help...After a night of sleeping on it, I decided to get linux mint and use the dd command. What a difference! Now I can see the 4 files I saw before AND another partition with files called data, system and tmp.

I used Disk Utility to reformat my SD card, and then again to view the filesystem after running the dd command to check it out. Now on the SD card there is:

Autonooter2 41MB fat

NooterFiles 82 MB fat

Free unallocated space

I think this will now solve my problem. Hopefully this info will help someone else later on!

After I AutoNooter my Nook, I can intall ROM Manager and flash Clockwork to make backups, correct?

[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Maybe they want to root 1.1 NOW instead of waiting an unknown period of time to do it, or without fooling around with CWR?

This is the simplest way to root 1.1. The simplest way to do something is usually the best choice for most people.

Agreed. This AN release allows others to use 1.1.0 easily while allowing market installs. When the official AN3 release happens I will then have the option to evaluate what both releases offer and make a decision off of that. Having choices is a good thing...

[Nook Color Android Development] Rattor:
Are there other methods for rooting the Nook that allows both the stock Nook UI and allows installation of CWR for flashing other ROMs should I choose to do that?
[Nook Color Android Development] mrapollinax:
@Rattor

If that is the case then you probably might want to get a couple uSD cards and image them with bootable ROM images. That would be the easiest way to switch between ROMs.

Otherwise the only way I can think of getting CWR working while running 1.1.0 is loading 1.0.1 auto-nootering that and install CWR as CWR should work fine on the 1.0.1 version of Auto-Nooter. At that point you can use CWR to sideload the 1.1.0 (pre-rooted) image that can be found here.

The last option would be to wait and see if the official AN3 will support CWR natively.
