Did you download the nook app?

Yes, I have done that

When the nook is connected via usb and you are looking at on your computer you need to put your nook books in the 'Nook->my documents' folders to have them show up in the nook app.
It's irritating that you can't browse directories in it.

[Q] 4.5.2 Manual nooter and market via PC

I rooted 1.2.0 via manual nooter 4.5.2. Before I updated from my rooted 1.1 I could go to the android market on my PC and install apps from there. Once I manual rooted 1.2.0 with 4.5.2 I can no longer install market apps via the PC. The market shows I have no phone (4.5.2 was the update that had the samsung added). Does anyone know a cure for that? I can live with it, but it was nice to find and research apps via the pc and install from there. The market works fine from my nook, though. Thanks for any suggestions.

4.5.6 has the same problem and more
I have done the manual nooter process for my Nook (Stock 1.2) as described in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027
Even if the installation went well I have the following problems:
The installed Market does not contain very many of the apps I am interested in.
Installing from android market from my PC does not work. There is no device shown in the list when I press <install>.
Manual installs from an apk file has problems.
I downloaded <Android File Manager> with the market app. And tried to install 3 different downloaded apk files (one of them was Kindle). AFM asked if I wanted to install, but the only thing that seemed to happen was that the apk file was erased. I managed to install the third app which was an alternative keyboard. Even so, the keyboard did not become visible in <Choose Keyboard> in NookColorTools, even if it was listed under <manage applications> in NCT.
My last resort was to try a manual install from my PC with ADB. I installed “nookcolor-easyADB” on my PC (Windows XP). I enabled ADB in the settings on my Nook. But my PC was not able to detect the Nook when I plugged it in, except for the hard drives of course. I manually installed the driver. The installer said it was OK, but it did’t help. The driver did not turn up in the device list on my PC.
Does anyone have a clew

You did the market visibility workaround STEP BY STEP EXACTLY as described in the Manual Nooter OP?

Than you. The solution to the market problem was there. I just didn't notice. I followed the instructions and it worked.

[Q] Connecting Htc Hd Mini Android To Pc

Hi, I would like to ask after using the android how do i connect to the computer and copy some files? because i would like to copy the drag racing data but everytime i connect my htc hd mini which is using android to the pc nothing happen?

not available yet.
you can put your sd card into your pc carddrive

Or use ADB. Have a look here.
I also posted about a FileManager based on ADB that works quite nice.
Its called QtADB. Google for it.

You can use Myphoneexplorer, with this you can conect via wifi and then you can copy files, sync with outlook and more. Work perfect in the mini with Android 2.2.
Here the link. Good Luck

[Q] Rooted NST not recognized by PC

Apologies if this duplicates an old thread, but I couldn't find another one...
I rooted my Nook Simple Touch using Touchnooter 1.1, and now it can't be recognized by my PC. I can't copy files to it.
I bought several Google eBooks recently that I'd like to read on my NST, but they can't be loaded, as Adobe Digital Editions can't see the Nook (or doesn't recognize it). Google Books doesn't work, either. It just stays on a rotating 'loading' icon forever, never loading the book.
Any thoughts?

Not recognized? You mean on USB? No volumes mounted?
You can certainly transfer your books over ADB on WiFi if that's working.
If you can get to a shell on ADB try a "mount" command.
The last two lines should be like:
Code:
/dev/block//vold/179:6 /media vfat rw ...
/dev/block//vold/179:17 /sdcard vfat rw ...

Using a root method that enables ADB over USB can mess up the drivers on Windows and make the Nook partition inaccessible.
There are two options:
1: Re-root with a ramdisk that enables ADB over WiFi (might not help)
2: Properly install Google drivers for ADB over USB (search this forum)

Dammit. It's so darn complicated. I was hoping to recommend this method to my non-geek friends so they could have simple little tablets too, but this all is just too much work for them (and for me). This is why people buy Apple.
If I go back to a rooted Nook (I returned to stock) I'll look into this stuff. Thanks for the tips, folks.

Oh! Check what driver you have on the Windows machine.
Under "Device Manager" if it shows Android anywhere then you have the Android ADB USB drivers loaded.
This would prevent the USB Mass Storage driver from being loaded.
Did you load the ADB USB drivers?

God, I have no idea if I loaded the ADB USB drivers. I just did the normal TouchNooter1.1 install, which includes basic Google Apps.
Then when my PC didn't recognize the rooted NST, I gave up and went back to stock! I'm not a true rooter.

@DoomMunky: Aw, don't get disheartened. Soon you'll be rolling your own kernels!
So you got your Nook to be recognized by your PC now?

Only by reverting to stock firmware. I'm running basic 1.1 now, no Android anything, and it's fine.
If I end up re-rooting in the future, what steps should I take to ensure my PC still allows simple book transfers to my Nook Simple Touch?

[Q] adb driver for nookcolor on windows 7

Apologies if this is already posted somewhere. just point me to the link and I'll take a look, but everything I have tried so far has failed.
I have been trying to get adb working on my NookColor under Windows 7. I am running a rooted 1.4.2 stock image. I installed the sdk by following the guide at http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB, but when I get to step III.3.1, the device does not show up where the guide tells me it should. I gget a myNOOKcolor device under Portable Devices instead. I tried following the same procedure for this device, but when I get to step III.3.2.3, I get an error message saying "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."
I was able to follow the same procedure to install the driver for my MyTouch 4g. It looks to me like the problem s that Windows identifies my Nook as a portable storage device, rather than an unidentified device type, like my MyTouch was. I've tried uninstalling the driver, but it just reinstalls itself when I unplug and plug the device back in.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think the problem is the device id. I posted a workaround for CM9. It might be the same for your upgraded stock. See if my post helps. Look here:

Thanks for the post!
I looked at your workaround and it did not help. There is no nook entry under "Other Devices" in the device manager. the only entry for my nook is the "myNOOKcolor" under portable devices. When I right click on that and go to details, there is no device id listed.
Is there any chance that I may need to revert to 1.4.1 in order for this to work?

With CM9, you have to be sure to have usb debugging turned on before the device will show up. That guide was written for an earlier version of the stock software. Is there anything like that in your stock software? Do you have to install nook tools to get at the setting? It's been a long time since I played with stock and the software has changed.
Edit: There is an alternate script listed in that referenced page you listed. Did you try that?

I have trtied all the troubleshooting steps in that page, if that's what you mean. Nothing has worked for me so far. I have tried disabling automount and usb debugging, to no avail.
I guess I should ask a new question. If I create a bootable CM7/CM9 sd card, will I be able to copy apk's to /system/app on my nook? That is really the only reason I need adb to work, so I can install non market apps.

Yes, but with difficulty. But you don't really want to install to /system, you want to install to /data (on emmc, which is the difficulty doing it from SD). You can use terminal emulator in CM7 to copy the files to emmc /data/apps. You first have to mount emmc /data. If you want to try that, I can help you.

Well something else actually occurred to me. Will I be able to copy apps to my sdcard (not the CM7 bootable, just a regular sd card), then copy them to /data/app using root explorer? If I can do that, there there's really no problem, I'll just have to deal with the fact that adb doesn't work.
If I can't do that, then yes, please help me do it using a bootable sd

If you have root explorer working on emmc, yes you can do it that way. You can actually have root explorer just install for you also.

I am using CM10 on my nook color after spending 8+ hours yesterday finally being able to get back to where I started. I can again see my nook and the card but it is now showing up under portable devices. I used to have them listed as drives. this is fine as I have access to the card after I click on the nook in File explorer. I would like it the previous set-up just because Calibre has my card and device flipped and its easy to confuse me. I learned that if I can label my nook f and the card g Calibre will think the first letter is the main drive.
My original reason for this post: I can not find where to disable the automount in CM10 can you tell me where you disabled it? and if anyone can wave their magic wand and get me back to where I can name my nook and card THANKS:fingers-crossed:

You need to activate USB Mass Storage in CM10. It uses MTP by default. Go to settings, storage, menu, USB computer connection and check off Mass Storage rather than MTP. Then they show up as drive letters instead of under portable devices. You may also have to activate in the notification area.
And I think in Windows you can control what the drive letters are. Go to manage computer and select disk management and you can change the drive letters.

THANK YOU, so very much it has been driving me crazy. I knew where that was to change it to mass storage but I just never guessed to hit menu. After I read your post I saw the tiny 3 dots in top right. I really should just wear my glasses
and Yes I have changed the letters in the past as you have noted. However it seems a mute point Calibre just released a new version that lets me correct that problem. However it's nice to have the mass storage issue fixed.
Thanks again
