Hi all,
Nook simple touch. Version 1.1.2
I searched but could not find an answer to my issue.
Attempted to root nook using this:
http://nookdevs.com/Nook_Simple_Touch/Rooting
used touch nooter 2.1.31
made sd card. looked good
put sd card in, screen flashed, removed, rebooted.
unlocked screen, touched andriod.
skipped login to google services, enabled location services.
at this point it took me to what looked like the normal nook screen. i could not find the menu for this instruction:
"Click the Menu button (On top at the right, next to the time.)."
Rebooted device. Booted back normally, no signs of any modifications.
Turned off and got a snack.
Booted again. stuck on read forever screen.
Start searching around.
Attempt factory reset with method 2 and 3:
http://nookdevs.com/Nook_Simple_Touch_restore_to_stock
No luck.
Attempt to restore 1.1.0 image with clockwork:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360994
Image burns fine to SD, but when trying to boot into recovery only shows option to do factory reset, which continues to fail.
Does anyone have ideas on how I can fix this? It is still locked on the read forever screen, and factory resets do nothing.
Thank you,
Tajjat

2nd go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30430537&postcount=5 and download this image and save into ur hard drive
3rd try boot with any linux distribution or find program that can get access to nook partitions with ext3 type ( boot with noogie image) and then u will find partition named (rom and factory) , have acopy from this two partitions and put them in a separated files
4rd burn the image u have get downloaded with win32diskimager by select the sd partition in ur nook and choose file path then hit burn
5th boot with noogie and overwrite files in factory partition and rom partition from ur original nook (that u get copied and save in ur HDD)
6th then boot normally and it will boot as i expected with out any problem then try do factory reset to ur nook by this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28763125&postcount=5
and then take a backup after that (that will be the original backup for ur nook and keep it save becoz u will need it) and then try reroot and do right steps and will going fine with if u failed u can just write ur backup and everything will going fine again and u can do anything safely

Some progress, a ways to go
I got the nook to CWR and used this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1386640.html
as per @speedman2202's post with the updated link at the bottom.
The device will boot now. But now when I try to register the device it says
Sign in
Error
Sorry we're having trouble setting up your Nook. Please shutdown the device and try again.
If the problem persists, contact Customer Support at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665).
I know it took the new verision, because device used to be 1.1.2, now it says 1.1.0
Tried looking on B and N website to see if my nook was already registered, as per this thread, and it wasnt.

ideas?
Thanks!

i didnt call or tlak to them or tell them anything. i wont either. it just locked up and gave that screen.
Tried to do the update with the 1.1.2, but i am afraid it failed. but i am not sure i understand what you mean when you say
"unrar it and then zipped with same original state and then boot with CWR"
can you explain what that means in more detail?

ok
1st , download the package and then using winrar ..... extract all files to anew folder then after finished go to file open it and do select all and right click and choose add to archive then it will a dialog and from it choose (zip) not (rar) and then zipped it ..... and boot with CWR and install ur zipped file and then ur nook going to update to 1.1.2
or u can try BN method
To get the update manually, you can download the software update to your computer at any time and then copy it onto your NOOK Simple Touch. Simply follow the steps below.
Manual Download Instructions:
1. From your computer, click here for the software update file. Select Save and select Desktop as the location. Do NOT modify or change the downloaded file's name in any way. Do NOT open the *.ZIP file.
2. Tap Settings on your NOOK's Quick Nav Bar, then tap Device Info and make sure your NOOK battery charge is at 20% or more.
3. Connect your NOOK to your computer using the USB cable that came with your NOOK. A new, removable drive should show up in My Computer (Mac users will see the NOOK drive appear on the desktop or in devices). You should also see a "USB Mode" message on your NOOK screen.
4. From your computer, drag and drop the downloaded *.ZIP file onto the main directory of the NOOK drive. Do NOT open or unzip the file. You should not create a new folder on the NOOK drive or add the file to any other existing folder.
5. Eject or Safely Remove the NOOK drive after the file transfer is complete.
6. Your NOOK will automatically recognize the file after a few minutes when it goes to sleep mode, and proceed to install the updates.
7. Please do not turn off your NOOK during the installation process.
8. Once the installation is completed, your NOOK will automatically restart.
9. The software has been successfully updated; tap on the small "n" that appears in the status bar for additional information.
Your NOOK must remain turned on while the update is being installed. Once the software is installed, your NOOK will reboot itself back to the Home screen or the last screen you were on. To verify you have the latest update, tap Settings from the Quick Nav Bar, tap Device Info, then tap About Your NOOK and check to see that your software version is 1.1.2.

ok , now i think u must call BN live support and becareful when u talk to them , log in ur real name and ur last register acc on ur nook before got error and post ur nook serial that all required to talk to live support .... then do what i said in this post and if they asked u why u got this screen , tell them i found my screen got ghost effect so i did hard reset factory and when i try log in , i cant register my acc
and make sure u have the last register acc username&PW and account info and may he will ask u for bill info , credit card info ..... just talk with them very gently and never every mention u have root or played in nook properties
for ur info it's happen me before , but dont panic .... i had succeed in register my acc ... also dont tell them why u prevent me register my nook , just pretend that u dont know anything ... just ur nook doesnt register
good luck

ok , let me explain to u
he had root his nook with touchnooter and got some problem then he do hard reset then , the whole system is corrupted then he dont know what he do , so i suggest him ur Alpha Touch formatter to remove his root , and he dont have a backup
also no deference between nst gl parsons and nst partitions ,just the file system , so when anyone use this image above just for partitioning cuz nook wont boot without the right partitioning and all u need beside this image the rom partitions files and file update that u download from BN site and just install and ur nook will boot up
hope u got what i mean

Just try pushing recovery via adb .. if you know how to use it
Do you mean fastboot isnt working? (3 skating andoids) it wont boot? or recovery doesnt work?
in the clockwork rom manager it has an option for broken recovery...
other than that put the recovery.img on the sdcard (the root of it) then connect the phone and type adb shell flash_image /sdcard/recovery.img
i have tried it with ADB its gives message
usage : Flash_image partition file.img
but it doesn't boot in recovery mod what to do now ?

Greetings sunshine4u,
There use to be a how to on the unlockr but its no longer there,
How ever here you go man,
Flashrac
http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec
Amon_ra
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
Code:
1. On your phone, goto Settings, Applications, and make sure Unknown source is checked ON.
2. On your phone, goto Settings, SD card and phone storage, and click Unmount SD card.
3. Then click Format SD card (it should automatically remount after this).
4. Plug the phone into the compuer via USB, then pull down the notification bar and click on the SD card notification. Then click mount.
5. Download this APK and recovery image and save it to your computer:
6. Save both the recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2 and the FlashRec.apk to your computer, then copy them both to your SD card (do NOT put them inside any folders on the SD card, just put them on the SD card itself).
7. Unplug the phone from the computer once they are downloaded to the SD card.
8. Goto the Market and download Linda File Manager or any file manager program if you do not already have one.
9. Open the file manager and goto SDCard and then find the FlashRec apk file and click it. If asked tell it to use Package Installer to open it. It should automatically install the apk.
10. Open the FlashRec program and click on Backup Recovery Image and wait for it to finish.
11. Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type (again remember we have replaced the recovery image from the one in the video so type what is written here, NOT what is written in the video!):
/sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
Then click on the Flash Custom Recovery Image button (this button might say something else in different versions of Flashrec, but similar to this) and wait for it to finish.
12. Turn off the phone and turn it on into Recovery mode by holding down Home and Power to turn it on (keep holding until the recovery screen comes up has a bunch of text on a black background). So long as that screen comes up, you have done it correctly
Now this mite not work with your rom but it will not damage it in any way,
If point 10 fails then you will not be able to do it this way.
I know my self i had to downgrade my orange rom before doing it,
But before that point 10 just kept saying failed,
Downgrade and it worked a treat.
Hope that helps.
how to downgrade ???
Greetings,
I guess it did not work then,
As for the downgrade this depends on your provider,
I was able to get the orange rru thats a .exe and just run this,
But if you give have a look on the internet for your provider i am sure you will be able to find some thing,
If not get back to me with the name of your provider and the software you are on at this point and i will have a look for you.
my hero has no logo on it and its unlocked to all networks and i m using it in pakistan i m using warid as service provider and they dnt know anything about this issuee
i have Flashed the RA-hero-v1.7.01. now can any body tell me which backup is required to take nand or nand+ext what both of these doo and which 1 i should take before changing roms??

need nook backup too
Hi,
did you find anywhere backup image?
I also need one, since my backup is corrupted and I already formatted, destroyed, deleted the NST's partition table.
I only have backup from a Nook touch Glowlight, but it is already registered to my friend, and her nook's serial (and other data in the rom partition) is different, so I cannot register again at B&N.
I think the solution would be a clean (unregistered) factory backup, or something like that.
Maybe you already have this, or you may know other solution.
If so, please share with me.

You did remove the uSD card after rooting, right? I've rooted using Touchnooter many times, and my boot screen still shows "Read Forever" (not rooted forever).
If that's not the problem, you might reset back to stock to try again. Be 100% sure you have a good backup before attempting this!
thanks for reply
My nook is not registered. I don't have access to wifi and don't have credit card. can i upgrade firmware on unregistered nook .

Hi. id like you all who are sharing your knowledge through this fantastic forum and special thanks to the developers of this website. ive recieved my nook simple touch with glowlight firmware 1.1.5 just 5 days ago and was successfully rooted. then i wanted to add arabic language so i followed the this method which is mentioned in one thread by using the CWM method after rebooting my device got stuck at the screen of downloading the five dots and the screen was flashing without stopping.
i was so irritated knowing nothing to do and searched the net for any solution but at the end i found one sying that you can try the factory recovery by using CWM method.
it worked but now im not able to copy any app to system. file explorer says your device is unrooted.
please what should i do? recover my nook or re root it again.
thanks in advance
You did a factory recovery, therefore it's not rooted anymore.
Something you did before annoyed your Nook.
If the dots are running you can sometimes get a logcat.
You will need to have gotten ADB working already, which requires rooting.
That's a bit of a bind.
A console log might show you something too, but you'd need a shell to run dmesg or to solder in wires to access the UART on the board.
So, what exactly did you do to get Arabic working?
Try doing things in small steps and see where it locks up.
then
thank you Renate for your reply. now what do u think i ve to do whether to root it again directly or ive to make recovery to the system first by using backup because i cant copy any file to system so that ill be able to add arabic fonts.

if ur successfully root ur device again... go to market and download (File manager) and then u open it press up (button at the header) it will make u go to the device root system and before u navigate the program will warn u and then go to the directory u should go for put Arabic fonts and then accept replacement and then restart ur device and it should work
thx
Hi guys,
Having a few fun and games here. Started off with a brand new boxed touchglow with 1.2 firmware and rooted using the method in [NTG][1.2]GlowNooter 1.12.25 @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675706
All was going well after the root until I was navigating some options in nook color tools and pressed on an option that said 'android.com' or something to that effect. Anyway, the ereader displayed 'auth error' and started resetting the device. The reset resulted in the device not being able to register.
I have now been able to revert the ereader to factory 1.1 standard but this doesnt even have the glowlight control and is for the US market. I am in the UK.
So is there anyway to get back to the orginial spec of 1.2 factory with the glowlight control please ? I will try and root it from that point again. Also, why do you think I had the error for authorisation in the first place, have I pressed something in nook color settings to reset the device without knowing what I was doing ?
many thanks for the help.
PS: Just wanted to say, lesson learnt, always backup!
ok , before do anything take backup
then if u unable to to register , u should talk to Barns
see this post
and plz dont mention u had rooted ur nook ... talk to them as u dont know what u do , u just do factory reset after error in reader
then when u register in log into system try this post to upgrade ur nook to 1.2.1 that work with glow white
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37750695&postcount=2
but there is something i wanna be honest , when they check ur device and found ur update version is lower , may suspect that u play in system and unable to register ur nook , so .... i think if u have agood info about how to deal with android staff i will tell u manual method to upgrade ur system manually , but MAKE sure U do BackUp with 1.9 GB ..... plz Take care
first u need to boot with noogie image from sd card and access all nook partitions and delete all files only in all partitions (dont format , just access to linux partitions and any files u see just right click and delete) except Rom partition , dont touch his files only .... then download update 1.2.1 or 1.1.5 (work with NST glow white) then rezipped the files (extract the contains and zipped again with extension *.ZIP) then prepare CWM sd card and put the zipped file on sd card that prepared to CWM and boot with CWM and apply update from this zipped files and when done successfully then ur nook officially update to 1.2.1 or 1.1.5 then apply try register and if u cant register talk with BN live support as i mentioned above and it will register successfully
if any misunderstand or something wanna be explained , u r welcome
good luck
