Hi,
I've installed TouchNooter 2.1.31 on my Nook Simple Touch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343143
I also installed the multi-touch and NoRefresh files from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568560
However, when I try to search in Android Market, the search results doesn't return anything - there's a post from November 2011 about this issue, however, there doesn't seem to be any solution or answer to it that I could see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19287806&postcount=7
Are other people still getting this issue with current builds of TouchNooter as well?
Is there a solution to this issue on the Nook Simple Touch?
Cheers,
Victor

I have the latest manual nooter installed but when I go into the Nook reader, it won't let me download my bought books. Only the demo books download. Anyone know of this bug and is there a fix?
What version of ManualNooter did you use exactly? That sounds like one of the symptoms of using a version for 1.3 on 1.4.1. You may also find that you can't install apks, or from either the Android Market or Amazon App Store.
This forum is confusing and when I tryed to root my nst with the TOUCHNOOTER,it came out buggy. What is the best way to root the nst on 1.1.2 and does tinynoot work with the nst 1.1.2?
Same question here. After I came home with it and tried to root it with TouchNooter, I made a brick out of it. Successfully unbricked it, but willing to be more carefull nexttime.
It would be nice to make a step by step guide how to root it, possibly with photos/video of these steps. I would like to root mine with support of the gApps, then install Launcher 7, and enable multitouch and NoRefresh. If anybody with time on his hands would do such guide for me, I would be very gratefull.
Tinynoot will work on the NST as well as the Glowworm.
BUT tinynoot does not support the Google app market - it is an extremely minimal approach intended only to get root and install a bare minimum of apps. One of the apps is the Amazon appstore, which may be enough for some folks.
If you want access to the full Google market or to gmail or google maps, you need to use one of the root methods that can make those happen. (Even Tasker was a big PITA to install on my tinynooted device because I had to go hunt down some supporting files that normally come from Google maps to get it to run.)

Check out this thread:

I successfully rooted it on 1.1.2. I used beta5-2XUFullTouch-PART-1-START and beta5-1 XWUMFTouch-PART-2-END. Opera Mini doesn't not work, but Opera Mobile does. Also Market Search function doesn't work, but you can use AppBrain, or SearchMarket application from Android market.

Hello Everyone!
Have rooted my Nook STR using TouchNooter 2.1.31, have a few apps running just fine except Kobo.
According to this post and associated video it works, with exception of search.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567733
My library gets downloaded just fine, but attempting to read any book, the screen flashes black, then drops back to my book shelf.
Searched and found these two posts that are similar:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486598
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10243752&postcount=4
The second link is exactly what is happening, except not on a Nook Color.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app with and without removing the folders associated with the Kobo app... same results.
Using the instruction here: http://nookdevs.com/Nook_Simple_Touch_restore_to_stock
Tried restoring via Method #2 and re-rooting... same results.
Finally tried Method #3 and re-rooted... same results.
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
you need to get hold of an older noot kobo apk - latest version from market doesn't work on the nook
I did root today and got couple of problems. For some reason Android Market search function not working. I am able to browse and install apps, but when I try search window, nothing happens.
Another more serious problem, when I have been exploring seetings meny, Nook has been reset with message - "There was a problem with authorization. Please wait while we reset your device". I undrestand reset was done by NB, but have no found any answer what I did wrong.
I did search internet for both questions but have not found any solution.
I have NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight: 1.2.1. Root was done with Glownooter 1.12.25
I did search internet for both questions but have not found any solution.

Read this forum instead. Both answers are to be found on XDA.
- root using 'NookManager'
- use NTGAppsAttack to get market [google play]
- to search for apk's in the market you need to use 'youten.redo.searchmarket' apk
Read 'developers forum' before asking another question. I know it's a mess but 99% of all answers are there.
Regarding the unexpected reset.
Have you registered the device after 1 boot or have you rooted it before doing that?
I'd unregister my device, register it again and then change kernel and disable B&N apks to block communication between NST and B&N.
If it would not work i'd blame google play.

I did tryied to search, but found that you have to read all the threads instead to get answer. There was no specific topics.
I saw NookManager, but have not found pros and cons comparing with glownooter and decided try last one. Is there any feedback on ZeroLab Nooter zerolab.net
I registered my device before rooting. I erased previous owner info, registered myself, backed up, then applied root.
Feedback
After connecting Nook to PC and downloading few books on SD card in epub format, when disconnected from USB cable, I got back android screen that appeared before applying market fix, i.e. Android Welcome Screen skip Sign In etc..
Any ideas what happens?
The search issue is a known issue with the version of market being outdated (not Play Store).
The second issue can happen if you made a backup deregistered and then restored the backup. It happens when the authkeys on the nook become different than the ones on the BN server and so your nook is forcefully deregistered to fix any issues.
Hello,
I would like to root a Nook Simple Touch GlowLight. The only reason for doing this is to install Kindle for Android. I have found three particularly popular threads for achieving this:
NookManager
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040351
TouchNooter
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343143
GlowNooter
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675706
Can you please advise which of these I would be best to follow? Can you also recommend anything else that I must (or should) do following the recommended procedure - Any particular apps or configurations for either optimal enjoyment of Kindle for Android or the usability of the device (regarding refresh, etc).
Thank you.

I have only used two of above for 4 x NST not a NSTG so far.
Now I've literally got two NSTG arrived today waiting at home for me to play with (Just been reduced to £49 in UK so I expect a lot more visitors to this forum asking such questions).
If your new to Nook simple touch devices then please be aware of firmwares. A lot of older more mature stuff for NST relies on the v1.1 firmware base. All new NST and NSTG in UK and other places will already be on v1.2 from factory.
NookManager is newer and supports v2. It has a backup feature. Before anything else boot off it. Backup your NSTG. Connect usb cable to PC while using Nookmanager and copy the backup to a PC.
I would also use Noogie and make another backup a different way.
That way if you screw anything up and or don't like root method you can go back.
Before rooting I strongly recommend registering your stock nook and if your going to stick with version 2 update to latest one following instructions on B&N website.
Touchnooter is a lot older and I tend to use that when I am using a v1 base (you lose some features but can gain a very quick lag free multitouch norefresh NST).
I have never used glownooter. Obviously it sounds more NSTG specific which is a good thing.
Personally I don't know how much the NST and NSTG differ internally. Certainly if you start messing around with different kernels make sure they support NSTG or you may lose the glow ability.
I will be trying the NookManager route first. Highly recommend coolreader app as alternative to BnN reader.
I'll let you know how it goes with mine. I will be using it stock for little while first though.
Oh the kindle app did not work that great when I tried it. If you really want kindle that much is it worth buying one..... Certainly if its not up to your standard then use your backup return nook to stock. Only then de-register device and return it.
If running v2 firmware then rather than norefresh (works best on v1) you would be after fastmode. I would not recommend that for reading ebooks. Scrolling PDFs maybe.

Noogie guide for backing up
You can use winimage mention in above guide to stick Nookmanager on a sdcard too.
When booting off Nookmanager say no to wifi, Rescue->Backup, Use rest of space on SD card, create backup.
Obviously make sure your device is well charged and choose a big enough sd card to hold the backup. Its about 300MB compressed. As the backup is stored on a second partiton on the sd card windows won't easily be able to access it. To copy to PC once complete plug a usb cable in while running nookmanager and it will appear as mass storage device. Some of my nook's usb cables were charge only ones (very handy) so if cable is thin and long use a different cable.
Also for others reading the NSTG also comes with the most compact usb charger I've ever seen. Its actually smaller than my samsung one. NST comes with no charger.
Based on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961835 avoid using glownooter
To get fastmode working I've confirmed v166 kernel works with glowlight.
Thank you for your reply
Perhaps you might be able to help here, too?

Thanks again!
The nook glow-light I am trying to root has 1.1.5 firmware. The device got rooted but the market app doesn't work properly in order to download the opera browser (the other one doesn't work either), and the amazon app store keeps telling me: "Please enter a valid email and password" and doesn't let me log in with the same credentials that I use to log in from my pc. The opera app isn't even listed among the handful of apps listed on the Market app. What can the problem be? How can it be fixed? If I can't properly use this old nook model as an e-ink android I will have to return it. The only reason I purchased it was to root it.
If anyone know the fix please explain it to me in simple terms as I am not a great tech savvy.
Thx.

You should definitely return to stock firmware and update to 1.2.1 before anything else. Then, you can re-root and enjoy.
Restoring to stock and re-rooting can be done with the NookManager rooting tool. Updating your software version can be done by following the instructions at B&N.
