Noobie question, what is the difference between using autonooter as oppose to rooting nook using cwm(burning image of cmw to sd, cm7,gapp...)?

Is autonooter use to unlock stock firmware, and the other method to root while installing cm7?

Initial settings loops/wont go away

Hi, I just ran this and set up everything. Market works, gmail works, youtube works. But the initial android settings app seems to loop after I put in my google account. It's also set as my default home screen and cant set anything else to default even with home switcher. Did I get a bad flash?
[Nook Color Android Development] copjon:
Never mind. The setting was in soft keys. >.<

B&N Attempted an OTA of version 1.2 which messed up my rooted 1.1

About 2 months ago I rooted 1.1 with auto-nooter, got lots of apps and everything worked great. Today, B&N rolled out 1.2 and attempted an OTA update on my Nook.

---------------- Here's what happened -----------------

1.2 didn't take. It unrooted and deregistered my Nook. I cannot re-register it.

I tried updating to version 1.2 with the idea of re-rooting when available. B&N says to download the new ROM zip, put it in the root folder on the Nook and wait for it to auto run the setup - that didn't happen. So I'm stuck with an unrooted, unregistered NC?

Question: can I run auto-nooter 3 again to re-root my nook even though it is not registered? If so, how do I re-register the device.

I don't know if this happened to anyone else but I'm wide open to suggestions since the Nook is useless in it's current state.

Thanks

If your nook apears to be not functioning at all, look around here for the restore to stock walkthourgh
[Nook Color Android Development] Double C:
Oh boy...now im worried. I hope my nook doesn't get the ota. Its perfect with autonooter!!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
The B&N registration servers are currently overloaded for everyone -- known issue -- so you may want to give it a day or two and try again.

Don't worry, it is virtually impossible to brick the Nook. I've not heard of it EVER happening. ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] simmerin:
My nook is functioning perfectly its just that in the OTA attempt it deregistered and unrooted.

So I guess my question is - can I run auto-nooter again to re-root my Nook as I think everything is still there and intact. The only issue is that it's now unregistered and I'd like to get it registered so I can access by B&N content.

Market won't download apps -autonooter 3 / OS 1.1

Long story short... was running OS 1.1 with autonooter 2.25...worked great!

Then I upgraded to autonooter 3.0.5 and while i can access the internet (web), have market and youtube in "extras", etc...it won't download any apps in Market.

It will search and find apps..but then is stuck on "starting download". Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help.

Ken

(P.S. I know that the new 1.2 update maybe unroot my device soon but want to use 1.1 as long as I can.)
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
Does anyone know why this autonooter gives instore access and the reading icon works, but the original 2.25 did not do either? Might be a good thing to pass along as they work on a 1.2 nooter.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
Store worked perfectly under the previous 2.25 versions and it works perfectly on the 1.2 versions too.

Update on the OTA firmware upgrade

I got my auto-nooted 1.1 system back. The firmware upgrade didn't take but it did deregister my Nook and make my apps disappear. This tip which I had followed may have prevented the upgrade:

14. How can I prevent the Nook from automatically updating the firmware?

- Change the name of etc/security/otacerts.zip to anything else (doing this in Root Explorer works fine). So far, this had looked pretty solid in successfully disabling OTA updates.

I ran auto-nooter again on my deregistered Nook which restored the root. Thankfully I backed up my system (apps and data) with Titanium backup (I since purchased the full version). Once re-rooted I restored the backup, rebooted and all my apps were reinstalled and the device registration returned so I'm back to where I was before this debacle.

Now, if B&N continues to wipe my system with OTA upgrade attempts that will be a problem. I'll cross that bridge when the time comes.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
I never tested that - read a zillion reports of in-store not working though. Let me restate the question then:

Does anyone know why this version lets the reading icon work and the other versions didn't?
[Nook Color Android Development] giedrys:
Whoever is working on next autonooter for 1.2 should seriously consider enabling some sort of auto-update blocking feature. This is starting to be really annoying.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
I don't think anyone knows for sure what would do that. The Sqlite update was the frontrunner but there was been at least one instance of someone reporting that didn't help. Same goes for build.prop and you can't even go for that until you know what the update is so you can spoof it.
[Nook Color Android Development] rsptexas:
Request a Bare Bones AutoNooter for 1.2

Hopefully there will be a very "vanilla" version of AutoNooter for the BN 1.2 Update, without changing sign-on screens, adding live wallpaper and all the clutter of apps etc that we can download ourselves and/or don't suit our personal preferences. That is to say, a version that will leave 1.2 as close to "stock" as possible.

Having migrated to a "dual-boot" NookColor, with the XDA posted version of HoneyComb, I no longer use the "stock" version of the OS for anything other than reading -- I use the HoneyComb tablet OS for all apps, web-browsing and everything else.

It also bears noting that HoneyComb solves just about all the problems of Android 2 on the NookColor that required 3rd party soft keys as the menu and status bars are not hidden and thus the operating system soft keys are always available.

Anyway keep up the good work!

Why "Reading" and "Store" works with Autonooter 3.0

GMPOWER explained it in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13287968&postcount=75

"I can comment on this issue, the framework.jar file that was used in AN 2.25, and earlier, was all hacked up from its original form. If you do a file by file comparison of it to the original file, you will see that a ton of files were changed that were not needed. When I put together the AN 3.0, the only hack that I did to the framework.jar file was to add the Clockworx Not Ugly Market Fix. Since I did not hack up the framework file like early versions had, the random reboot issues, in-store access, and everything else worked like stock."
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
So far, it has been only that instance. It may have been something unique to the person's NC. For example, the field may not have survived a reboot. Right now, I have some degree of confidence that setting the db field to "manual" works.
[Nook Color Android Development] blestsol:
Im lost when it comes to the MD5 situation. Ive tried downloading it 5 times and it never matches the one posted here.
[Nook Color Android Development] dsf3g:
Agreed, based on my personsl experience and pretty much everything else I've read. So far there's been one report of a SQLited Nook Color updating, and lots of reports on the other side (including users on 1.0.1 for months). At this point I'm chalking up the one counter-example to user error.
[Nook Color Android Development] simmerin:
I can vouch for that "I have some degree of confidence that setting the db field to "manual" works." My auto-nootered Nook was OTA updated on the release date. It unrooted and deregistered the device. Fortunately, I had a backup and restored everything after re-rooting it. I then purchase sql lite and updated OTA to manual in the registry. It has been perfect ever since. No attempted updates.

Revert from BN1.2 to 1.1

OK, I was messing with my daughter's nook, preparing to root it, when the OTA hit, and now it's on 1.2.0 (it was originally purchased just 2 months ago at 1.1). How do I revert to BN1.1 so I can root it? Or is there another thread elsewhere indicating that a 1.2 root is imminent?

Thanks,

FreeMan
[Nook Color Android Development] mr_fosi:
11th from the top... manual nooter! Just a short look and you would have found it.

It's dead simple.

In case you want to revert, try this. If it worked coming from my CM7 setup, it'll work coming from your 1.2 stock setup.
[Nook Color Android Development] Kaleptik:
This is making me mad. -.-

I've written the image with WinImage 8.1 over ten times, and with WinDiskImager 7 times. No change at all. I just got this today by the way.

EDIT: Giving up for now. -.-
[Nook Color Android Development] mstrina81:
Hi All,

I originally got my nook rooted the whole 9 yards. I decided that I wanted to try Froyo and for whatever reason CWM 3.0 ended up on there. Now that I'm trying to go back to stock and do the 8 force interupt boots, on the 8th one it goes to CWM. I'm stuck and I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any help provided is greatly appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] doncaruana:
If you've flashed CWM to the recovery then I don't think the 8 failed boots is going to work for you. I think you'll have to flash back to stock.
[Nook Color Android Development] androidmonkey:
I just saw this on All About Android podcast, it looks pretty nice. I am currently running CM7. Has anyone run both? Which is best, more reliable, stable? I like the interface on the Autonooter.
[Nook Color Android Development] Desertio:
help!

OK. So i got all the necessary stuff to get this done however, when i do the following step it gives me the option to choosewshere to restore the files and I choose the SD card. When i hit okay it takes me to a screen to open a file. i dont understand. any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Let's get started:

2 Windows: Unzip and use WinImage to "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image" to your SDcard.
[Nook Color Android Development] bobstro:
What version ROM are you running? This article seems more current for 1.2, or 1.3. The steps for 1.3 work fine.

Later in the thread are the instructions for 1.4.1.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I just loaded over the existing 1.1 root and it works, new boot animation is very nice but the color nook was better.

Thanks for putting this build together. Wish there were more collaborative effort, things would really start to click with a collective of XDA Brain Power.

Stuck in Recovery

I was on 1.1 and i auto nootered and it worked great. I then tried to use rom manager to flash CWR. I rebooted into recovery and now I cant get out. I click reboot and it puts me back to recovery. Any suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
Load up Titanium Backup and clear data for YouTube. That should fix the quit to desktop.

I have exactly the same problem. Rebooted into recovery and flashed 1.1GHz kernel, now stuck in recovery....
[Nook Color Android Development] ewong90:
Mine seems to reboot constantly, not sure what's causing it.
[Nook Color Android Development] jasoraso:
I too got stuck in recovery on CWR (I had flashed the recovery using rom manager and then was trying to flash a new kernel) .... I ended up using the images to recover the recovery; and then went 1.0 > 1.0.1 > rooted > CWR > sideload rooted 1.1

I am not 100% sure that my problem was related to this autonooter; but the other accounts seem to indicate that getting CWR to work property if rooted under v.3 seems problematic.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Alright. The strangest thing happened.

I have the nook color with 1.1.

I root it with the autonooter and it worked like a CHARM...YAY.

But there is only one tiny issue. My books wont sync and wont download to the device????

What I am gonna do now?? Any issues why?? Or is anyone having the same issue??

Not expecting in-store features to work (as they didn't on last auto-nooter version). However, I''m going to Barnes & Noble today and will post back with my findings.
[Nook Color Android Development] geekaren:
I'm happy to report my previous post was wrong.

I'm at Barnes & Noble now... in-store features work with auto-nooter 3 installed! Even read free for an hour works. Nice!
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
The OP should change the name of this distribution ASAP. Otherwise, there is going to be mass confusion once a genuine AN release comes out.

Or, is it your plan to simply add a higher version number (ie. 3.1.0) to your official AN release in order to distinguish it from this fake?
[Nook Color Android Development] ewong90:
Alright so it was running fine for a while and then it crashed on me. Upon reboot it gets stuck on the boot animation. Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] weili3d:

I used the interim ver. to get root & 1.1.0 & all is fine.

BTW I have a thread running that mentions the step that is missing in the xda rooting instructions that is in the nookDevs instructions, but there doesn't seem to be any interest in fixing it. The step instructs you to unplug the Nook from the PC & then completely power it off, before inserting the SD & re plugging into PC. Can't imaging why this step was discarded!
[Nook Color Android Development] Big-A-Rob:
Running the auto-nooter 3.0 now. After fumbling and thinking something was wrong, I saw a few posts on here saying that after the "n" screen it just stays blank for a really long time. Thats what I am seeing. I would like to make a request to add something...anything... to the screen while it is running your script so people are not confused and thinking it is not working or something is wrong. After thinking it was hosed up I tried removing the sd card and booting into stock it gets stuck at the same place. This is pretty risky so could you please add some indication that it is doing something so people are not stopping it prematurely. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] ericejs:
This worked great now a couple quick questions....

1) I downloaded launcher pro and the dock still has the phone and contacts icons... how can I get rid of those? I old down and hit change shortcut, but it doesnt do anything.

2) how can I upload all of my google contacts onto my nook?

3) I've heard that you can change the screen refresh rate on a rooted NC... I would love this because I notice flicker rather easily on my NC... how would I do this?

any help is appreciated, thanks!

Thanks-thanks-thanks

For the past week I have been try to get back my NOOK after some problems trying to use the 1.1.0_r2 and I had a mess of problems. My recovery image was also bad so I was hosed!

I had resolved to wait till someone came out with 3.0 and use the Viewsonic tablet but I discovered someone had put a factory recovery image out that actually worked to get me back to 1.0.0. I re-flashed after cleaning out everything then registered real fast then dropped the wireless so I could not get screwed up by the system trying to update to 1.1.0. I then took the auto-nooter 2.12.15 and got it rooted. Put it back on network to see if MARKET worked. When it did I then used Auto-Nooter 3.0.0 to bring me up to 1.1.0 and then started recreating my stuff.

Thanks for the work on 3.0.0. I now have the Nook back.

Now, when can someone get 3.0 working on the Nook and I can hose it again!!!!

I installed this after updating my nookColor to 1.1.0. Download the file, unzipped it, burned to SD card. powered off my nook, inserted the card, plugged nook into computer. Screen didn't come on, so i thought it wasn't doing anything. Unplugged from computer, took out SD card, it booted into android. skipped tutorial, skipped google sign in, enabled location, but then it took me back to skip tutorial and then it wouldn't let me skip google sign in. I then made the mistake of pressing the home button and now it just shows the nookOS, only when I reboot it has the android logo. There's no android components on my nook though. And it won't let me do 8 reboots so i can't retry. I'm stuck.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Power it down

Put the SD Card back in

Plug in the cable

walk away and leave it alone... maybe 10 minutes maybe more

Don't touch it

it will boot all the way backup then you can start the setup process again.
[Nook Color Android Development] rljohnson:
This point can't be made strong enough. The last time I waited about 30 minutes JUST TO BE SURE!
[Nook Color Android Development] DZ469:
No dice. It just goes back into USB mode under nookOS. It still shows the android boot animation but once the PC connects to it it goes back to nook.

EDIT: Nevermind. I am a total noob. Should have kept reading the directions. Everything is there. Just didn't see it. Guess that makes me dumb. Sorry guys.
[Nook Color Android Development] Malk3rs:
I have been travelling since 1.1 came out and finally got home and found this gem ready to roll. Took maybe two hours, with backing up and restoring, to get my layout identical to how it was on 1.0.1; now to see if the update does anything. My biggest gripe is that phantom taps are back and I'll have to take two whole minutes to recalibrate; woe is me.
[Nook Color Android Development] DZ469:
Anyone having trouble downloading apps from the market using this nooter? I can't get anything to download.

It's also only showing the first ten apps in each category. Don't know whats up with that. Any ideas?

Also, any ways to get rid of this if I needed to? I tried to do 8 reboots, but i cant get it to work, and idk how to get adb to recognize my nook.

EDIT: Okay NOW it decided to work. but it's still only showing the first ten apps in each category.
[Nook Color Android Development] paleh0rse:
Turn it to landscape mode and see if more than 10 apps show up in the list...

Guys

Pls help.. I'm at 1.1 firmware. Tried to use the winimage to copy into my sd card. I got the dialog box like in the attached image. I selected "Write Disk" and then put the sd card into my nook and tried to boot it with my usb card. nothing happens. Nook boots into the stock os.

I have been able to follow instructions @ xda to load android into my win mobile but no luck on my nook.. don't know if I'm doing anything wrong or being dumb.. pls help..

[Nook Color Android Development] Hextall:
Same thing happened to me... corners hard to touch (I like xscope, and can't hit the far right menu button)... and when running CWR, can't get out.

there's a flashable zip in the Nook Questions forum that you can flash while in CWR that removes CWR (or at least gets you out of it... it still says I have the latest CWR installed in ROM Manager).

also... anyone have their SD card's capacity go way down? I have an 8gb card that now only says it has ~40mb? I tried reformating, but it only reformats to 40mb.
[Nook Color Android Development] dennis-:
that would be because winimage treated the card as a hdd and created a partition.

format with this to fix it
