I rooted my nook simple touch with touchnooter-2-1-31. I mistakenly choose the wrong launcher as default and now it launches into the regular BN menu system, and I can't seem to get to the andriod screens anymore.
I've reset it back to factory settings.. and tried again, and it still launches into the bn software.
If I were to guess, I'll bet i can fix it via an adb command. What Sdk do i need to get? Anyone know what command I need to run in order to get to the screen to choose the default launcher?
Thanks,
Cal
I fixed this by unregistering my nook and setting it back to factory settings.
Thanks,

hi guys,
I have a problem here. I downloaded adw launcher and set it as default launcher. It doesn't work, it only says: ADW launcher is unexpected stopped. I've already tried pulling the battery out and put it back in, but it didn't work. Has anyone a solution?
sorry for bad enghlish.
Sam
Uninstall ADW-Launcher and the phone will revert back to the stock launcher.

Yeah, i know that, but my phone didn't do anything when i pushed menu. So i did a hard reset, everything works fine now. And i have FroYo .
hello ,
can somebody please help ..I am using CM7 AmeriCanAndroid 051211 build and it happened may be due to my fault that i used the old data.img from the previous version. i set my launcher pro as default and it started crashing . I need to set it back to AWD Laucher so that i can atleast get the options to work on the problem.
The launcher pro is crashing but I am sure AWD launcher will work fine .. Please let me know a way to either go the the settings menu or any way where i can atleast start my phone.
download this
install it with droid exploer
press your home buttom
select awd
update it.
done.
thank-you much...
for future reference when something like this happens, you go into settings/applications/manage applications and search for the app you set to default, or the launcher app, open it and clear defaults, then in your case you press the home button and it will ask you again which launcher you want to use, and you could've selected AWD launcher.
so what if you can't access the phon's settings sincs everything just keeps crashing?
as a last ditch, you can boot to recovery and format the data partition. that has all of your settings so, you will have to go through the first run setup, but that should fix your problem if it's just a setting issue.
good luck.
I've been reading a lot of people reporting that they first tried TouchNooter and this failed, they then had to restore and try a different rooting method. Can this maybe mean that TouchNooter doesn't work anymore for some reason? Are there people which have recent successes with it?
I got it!
I tried it and failed, and panicked at first. I then realized I could reboot the device, but nothing happened still. ros82 has a great thread with backups, shown here
Anyway, I took the recovery option one, and put it into my NOOK Simple Touch and rebooted. It said resetting to factory, wait till done. When it finished, I was rooted for some reason!
Apparently that "restore to factory" doesn't get around to restoring the boot partition.
I can confirm TouchNooter works - I used 2.1.31 to root a new nook touch that I bought over the weekend (twice).
The device was running 1.1.0 out of the box and I had updated to 1.1.2 before the first attempt. That worked but "device info" showed 1.1.0 after the root, and I couldn't force update the firmware after. Market was working after the 1-day wait as well. I used the 8 hard resets to restore the device and tried again on the stock firmware. Same results. I ended up using the MinimalTouch method after updating to 1.1.2 to root while retaining the firmware update.
Touchnooter did NOT work for me.
I have a new NST, came with 1.1.1 stock, then I manually upgraded to 1.1.2. Registered to B&N, have downloaded several books and transferred some epub and pdf files.
Then tried to root:
Upon starting up the NST with the Touchnooter SD image I created, I got the touchnooter instruction screen, then 20 seconds later did see a quick flash to black, then immediately the Nook startup screen appeared with the 5 dots along the bottom.
The screen stayed there with only the first dot black and it hung.
Waited awhile....10 or 15 min.
Took out the SD card, powered the Nook off then back on without the Touchnooter SD card in it.
The Nook was NOT rooted. Went right to stock Nook screens with my books loaded.
Tried it 2 more times, same result.
WHY doesn't this work on my Nook?
didnt work for me either
looks like touchnooter worked for me, but then on reboot i dont get adw option, just normal nook boots.. tried also salsicha nooter, same thing, why doenst it work for me!!!!
Touchnooter not working
I am sure there is something I can do to get this working, no? Had firmware 1.0.1, used the Touchnooter 2.1.31 booted and saw the little android icon and I started the process. Skipped the sign in and enabled location service, then flash of the screen and back to nook reader home. Restart, no Android icon, just e-reader home screen. Updated firmware to 1.1, retried touchnooter 2.1.31, still nothing comes up on startup, just acts like an e-reader, SD card inserted or not.
Sounds to me like some of you are either missing the prompt to select the launcher on 1st restart, or it's not working for some reason. Do you see the little Button Savior button on the right of the screen? If everything worked, you should be able to use that to get back to ADW. If that doesn't work, your default launcher may be set to B&N's home screen. I'd recommend a complete wipe and try again. TN has worked very well for me on 1.1.x, but be sure to set ADW as your home default on 1st launch if that's what you want.
If you have updated to 1.2, be sure to read around before trying to root. Things have changed a bit, apparently.

Arrgg. Unfortunately no, I do not see the button savior on the right. I had it rooted a few months back and restored it to the plain e-reader before trying to re-root again. I thought I did a complete wipe by updating to 1.2. Should I go back to 1.1 and then try the µSD?

I've tried auto-nooter and touchnooter and nothing I try works. My Nook is running version 1.1.0 and WAS rooted before but refuses to root now. I have the nooter image (linux using dd if= method) on the sd card but rebooting the device with the nooter card in it never ends with a rooted nook. It simply boots up normally and then complains that the sd card needs to be formatted. I've tried restting/deregistering the nook and trying again. No dice. This thing will not root.:crying:

- for NST FW 1.2 upgraded from NST with recovery image 1.1 only 'tinynooter' will work (as for now) . You will gain root + adb but not the Market/Google Play.
I
I.1 - do a full recovery (6 failed boot's in a row [reset the device just after it starts booting])
I.2- upgrade to 1.2 manually
I.3- run tinynooter from CWR.
or
II
II.1 - wipe system partition using CWR
II.2 - install 1.1 FW using CWR (from cwr_1.1_zip)
II.3 - upgrade to 1.2 manually
II.4 - apply 'tinynooter' using CWR
same procedure if you just want to root 1.1.
- I.1 or II.1 + II.2 + 'Touchnooter' or any other 'nooter' that used to work

Worked like a charm...after
I was having problems getting touchnooter to work. Running linux and using the dd command I found out I was screwing up the dd command slightly. I'd place the sdcard in my card reader and it would show up on my system as /dev/sdb1 (for instance) so I did the dd if=touchnooter.img of=/dev/sdb1 command but this produced a card that failed to boot even though the rooting software was clearly installed. Changing it to dd if=touchnooter.img of=/dev/sdb fixed the issue and a couple of days of problems rooting my nook became instant root upon reboot.
Now the problem I'm having is installing apps (or finding them). I try and install a google android app and it refuses to install saying my system security isn't setup to allow unsigned (or something like that) apps. I cannot find any security settings anywhere in what is provided by touchnooter that changes this. Also, while I can find a kindle reader app without issue in he amazon app store with a browser on my computer, it refuses to appear when I search the amazon app store from the rooted nook! WTF?
There seems to be a number of issues, in fact. The Opera Mobile app doesn't function, I cannot get gmail set to sync automatically, and I cannot get my yahoo email setup to work. Add to that the inability to install any apps beyond the base provided by touchnooter...I'm thinking of trying again only using the auto-nooter instead.

I suggest updating your nook to FW version 1.2
root with tinynoot as osowiecki shows in the previous post
you can then use adb to install apps
tinynoot will install nookcolortools- open this - and deselect and then reselect install non-markets apps.
this will allow you to install non-market apps
tinynoot doesn't include any google apps.
instead of gmail, I use k9mail - with this I am able to set up my gmail and other emails - all in one app.
Hi all,
I've been lurking on the site for a couple years and am finally getting the courage to post a question.
I have been using a version of the ManualNooter since I got my NC and it's been going great. I can't bring myself to get rid of the BN software for good. This weekend I decided to wipe it and update all the files finally, so I updated to BN 1.4.3 and MN5, got the market working eventually and made a back-up of the whole thing. I was reading about repartitioning to the older settings to get 5gb of storage for apps, etc and would like to do that because I had just started getting messages that I had no more room on my NC. So I used the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14102514. I restore my backup and it doesn't seem to work anymore, I can see my wallpaper, and the BN menu/home tray but no MN stuff, so I wiped it and tried again and got the same result. So I'm wondering is it even possible to repartition for the extra storage if I'm using ManualNooter? Is an SD card my only option unless I want to do a complete root? Or did I do something wrong somewhere?
Thanks in advance!

If you are having problem restoring your backup, I would just start over. I have a partition repair thread linked in my signature. Do the partition 145678 repair followed by the format 5678 zip. Those will give you the old partition layout with the 5GB media partition. Everything will be blank. Then go to my NC tips thread also linked in my signature and look at item A15. It puts vanilla 1.4.3 stock on the system. Then do mn5 again. Then reinstall your apps manually.

So i did everything you said and it seemed to work, when I go to settings > device info : it says B&N Content Storage Available .92GB and Other Storage Available 5.23GB, is that correct?
Now I just can't get the Android Market to update to Google Play, which it had done previously, and the fix from the ManualNooter5 instructions, below, did not work:
Market has limited visibility - This is a known tablet issue, not just a Nook Color one.
Start Nook Color Tools
Select the "All Settings" button
Unplug your Nook Color from computer. (If Plugged in.)
Choose "Manage Applications" from the list
Select the "All" tab
Scroll down to "Market" and select it
Tap "Force stop"
Tap "Clear cache"
Tap the back button if you have SoftKeys running, else swipe right to left on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (from the clock to the book icon)
Scroll up to "Google Services Framework" and select it
Tap "Clear data"
Tap "OK"
Tap "Force stop"
Press the n button to return to your launcher
Start Market
At the "An error has occurred" message, tap "OK"
Hold your power button to turn off your Nook Color from the menu
Turn your Nook Color back on and give it a moment to find your WiFi connection
Start Market again, and the problem is resolved
So I can't get any apps, how am I supposed to download them manually? Any other ideas? I'm about to give up and just go back to the regular MN and limit the apps I download at a time.
Thanks again!

Reinstall 'ReLaunch' using ADB and then a pop-up will show up asking you to chose the default launcher.
You can also use "Legacy Launcher".
Remember to set up 'Relaunch' under the "home" button in 'quicknav' using 'Nook Touch Mod Manager' once you have it up and running.

Amazing , thanks! Was coming from the 1.0 version Nook that had the floating android menu over the top so wasn't really fully understanding how relaunch was working. This is sooooo much better (floating menu used to get in the way a lot). Managed to get relaunch back up with a restart and have now set the quicknav button to it
