[Q] New Nook N2E with 1.1.0, want to root

I recently bought a new Nook N2E. It actually came with firmware 1.0.0 strangely enough. I did slap 1.1.0 on there.
I want to root this baby. My question is should I revert to 1.0.0, upgrade to 1.0.1, root with touchnooter and proceed with everyone else, or just manually root it noogie style? Or I could stay at 1.1.0 and rip out of touchnooter the things that are not working. I'm just looking for opinions.

There's no simple answer to that.
In regards to Market things are a little messy on 1.1.0 right now, but we're working on it.
Some people claim they got Market working on 1.1.0, but GabrialDestruir is having trouble with finding a reliable solution for that and so do I.
If you absolutely want Market right now, then save you the trouble and go back to 1.0.1 + TouchNooter 1.6.24
If root is all you need atm, then just check out the updated uRamdisk thread.

If he does go back to 1.0.1/TouchNooter 1.6.2.4, won't the B&N update eventually download automatically and force the unit to update?

there is a way how to (successfully?) block OTA updates, just google it out. It is simple sqlite3 db update.

Thanks for the replies. I decided that since Ive never seen the N2E running android, I would go 1.0.1 and Touchnooter and it worked like a charm. Only thing I cant figure out how to do is change Google Sync from Push to Manual

Updated my rooted Nook touch to Ver 1.1.0, after reverting to factory version as received. Used the two modified files in the SD image, and after the third boot it worked. I get Youtube, Gmail, and Market successfully. Now I cannot install any non-market apps. Somewhere I saw a menu and accepted permissions which I thought would allow installation of many non-market APK's. Guess I need some help, but close to success.

"Install blocked" message appears "for security, your phone is set to block... Android Market", I had earlier checked accept non-market apps.

NookColorTools, even if non market apps is checked, uncheck and check it gain.

I've had success three times rooting it with full Market and search.
Here's what I did:
1) Backed up with noogie.img on SD and Roadkil's DiskImage.
2) Used nookRestore on SD to restore /system.
3) Erased and Deregistered to wipe /data.
4) Skipped B&N registration (I don't need/want it).
5) Applied 1.1 firmware update.
6) Used TouchNooter 1.6.24 on SD, modified with 1.1 uRamdisk and framework.jar.
7) Triple booted TouchNooter (gave it five minutes each time), removed card, rebooted, skipped Google registration.
8) Youtube --> GMail --> Market. Downloaded a program in Market.
9) Installed SearchMarket and ADB Wireless Widget. Enabled non-market apps with NookColorTools. Uninstalled YouTube (someone said this helps).
10) Used ADB over wireless to push Vending.apk from here. SearchMarket is no longer needed.
My original thread (with links and other details) is on MobileRead in the nook sections. As ros87 noted, GabrialDestruir hasn't got it to work, but I see no reason why it shouldn't if I've done it successfully on different devices. My guess is that some part of the process is being done differently.
TouchNooter's three boots went like this for me:
1st) Infinite loop of nook dots. I reset after about five minutes.
2nd) Complete freeze either on "Rooted Forever" or nook dots screen.
3rd) Success! and boot to Android Welcome. From here I removed the SD and rebooted.

[Q] Rooted CM7, no market Missing Apk(s)

Hi.
My nook color was on 1.4 (latest bn update), I dual boot it with cm7 following this set of instructions - youtube.com/watch?v=OxDEZ1Fc6iE
when started, the android guy didn't appear and it didn't ask to log in to my google account. in the menu, there's no market.
went to settings - manage applications - there's no google service framework nor market.
I then rooted it instead with cm7 again following - youtube.com/watch?v=lmmmm8cBpe0
same thing, no google service framework, no market.
I've dual booted, rooted, unrooted to 1.0, rooted, over and over again but no luck. I doubt there's something wrong with the files, is it not reading/installing it properly? I downloaded the files through the right links multiple times.
since then, I tried all sorts of ways to try to download the apps but nothing works as well. I also tried installing the files individually (google service framework, onetimeinitializer, setupwizard, talk, vending) but it keeps saying "Application not installed."
Once I did manage to download market, but when I open it, it just gets out and crashes.
Is there another way to root it with a sure way of having market on it? or what am I doing wrong?
Please help. ): I'm not an expert with all these things so if you could explain it in simple terms.

So are you running from an SD card? Did you download gapps.zip and put it on the boot partition?
Sent from space

yes, I rooted from an sdcard. I followed the exact instructions on the video - (youtube.com/watch?v=lmmmm8cBpe0) Is something missing? Am I suppose to partition the sd? By my understanding, partition is something like splitting the memory on the sd? is it?
Sorry, I'm a real beginner on this.

Well the video you followed on Failtube has you installing to your internal memory. Did you flash the google apps zip while in clockwork?

My connection is horrible for video right now so please forgive me for not watching the video... did you include the latest GApps.zip and install that too?

Put the latest GApps*.zip on a sd card and install using ROM Manager.

Okay, I managed to install CM7 and market! I followed eyeballer's guide at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227&fb_source=message through Koopakid08's link on his/her signature.
There was market on it and it opens. but doesn't start dowloads. I did the usual of delete the caches, reboot and now, it downloads fine.
I then overclocked it with www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mvwmx9qSZY guidance. not much of a guide but i managed to find the files and installed. but it overclocked to 1.1ghz, not 1.3. I don't really mind, but just wondering what I did wrong.. I'm thinking of trying it again but using the latest phiremod 7.1. I used the old 6.1 yesterday instead because I wasn't very sure.
So, now my question would be do I have to revert it back to cm7 then overclock it again? or can I just do it over what I've already done? or must I start from scratch, unroot, root to cm7 then overclock?

You can just install it as an update using ROM Manager and not lose any data. Just make sure the only boxes checked when you update are wipe dalvik cache and backup.

I was about to update it, but now, my google account keeps saying my password is wrong, and I can't sign in. What can I do now? I tried updating the rom from rom manager but it says there's no updates available.
if I were to do it through recovery, I need to burn the clockwork on the sd, put the files in, and just install zip? or do i need to format system and data first?

Go to download a rom to choose the rom you want.
You should install clockwork to your internal memory using rom manager and then you won't have to fool around with SD cards. If you want to update manualy through recovery then you need to wipe dalvik cache and then use the install a zip option. To boot into recovery hold volume up on boot.

I went - Rom manager - Download ROM - Error occured while processing the ROM list/Error occured while Developing Download list
How do I continue? ):
If I do update it manually through recovery, I need to install the phiremod v7.1, do I need to install gapps_phiremod_7.1 as well? the instructions are gone since phiredrop deleted his website. I can't find any other instructions for updating from 6.1 to 7.1
I still can't sign into my google account, keeps saying my password is incorrect. Any way to fix this?
"install clockwork to your internal memory using rom manager and then you won't have to fool around with SD cards."
so thats how it works. hahaha, that'll be great and less of a hassle for me. I've been repeating the burn clockwork, install, flash all sorts of roms too many times.

1. Try pressing menu- clear download cache and see if that changes anything.
2. Yes you should flash gapps again seeing how you are having problems with your google account.
3. I've never used phiremod so I am not sure if that is a problem. I would suggest that you go with just virgin CM7.1 but I'm sure phiremod will be fine too.

cleared download cache, didn't work. ): how do I revert back to cm7?

I found out the problem to my google account. turns out, my account was freezed by gmail because of suspicious activities. so, I changed my password and it all works again. yay!
update: OH!! after I signed into the google account, I can go into download roms! double yay! I'm downloading it right now, will see if it works once done! question, would I still need to download gapps again?

Not if they are all working fine.

Okay, after all the trial and errors, my nook color is finally up and running awesomely on cm7,phiremod 7.1 at 1.2ghz.
Went to rom manager - download rom - phiremod - v7.1 - reboot after that, I had to do gapps again because some files like market wasn't in the menu, but on the homepage. rom manager - download rom - phiremod - gapps - reboot.
so everything is working well so far.
thanks to all the help I received, especially koopakid08!

If you want to easily overclock your nook to the Max, along with adjusting voltage to handle it and adjusting speaker gain and other stuff, look up Nook Tweaks (icon is a nook outline with gears inside). The process is very simple, just make sure you install it to the device not SD (I made that mistake), because otherwise it won't set the CPU speed and voltage settings on boot (even with the boxes checked). I am able to get my nook running smoothly at 1300MHz, but the option goes up to 1600. So wherever your nook's Max is can be found with this app. No need to readjust your kernel, just install the app and go. If you want to make sure that it is working on boot, download autostarts, which shows what starts during boot.

True but you will not gain any performance by going over 1.2, only worse battery life and the chance of overheating.
Sent from space

Well I certainly don't think I know any better than anyone else, its just that I recorded a pretty decent increase from 1.2 to 1.3 when I ran a benchmark using Quadrant Standard. That's the only basis I currently have, but I figured since Quadrant Standard got good reviews that it was creditable... do you know of a better benchmark?

Oh, sounds great but I think I'll keep it at 1.3 rather than 1.6, I don't want it to overheat it or something. I've already downloaded the app and tried to change it to 1.3, but what is the CPU stepping 1,2,3,4,5? I changed it to 800, 900, 1000, 1200 and 1300. Is that okay?

[Q] TouchNooter method not working anymore?

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.

I have installed the extras zip and was able to install amazon app store. I still cannot sideload many apps and get the 'there is a problem parsing the package' message. Basically, I downloaded the apk and used package installer and got this message.
Thanks for your help

Do you think rooting the tablet will help you?

Flashing to allow unknown sources via the image disk worked great for me. Adobe Flash and all my other non market installed apps working great. I did not root.
Edit:
Changed post from permissions to unknown sources.

Can you please elaborate on "Flashing permissions via the image disk". Which file to flash? Can you please link to the thread that has this file.
Thanks!

It is not a file to flash, his terminology is a little off. He means going to CWM and the advanced menu and choose 'fix permissions'.

I tried 'fix permissions' but no success. I am trying to install widely used apps from travel sites like Orbitz and Travelocity which are installed on my samsung 7+ tab running ICS. It must have something to do with stock as they were installed on CM 10 on nook hd+. While I prefer stock due to the excellent sleep option and battery life, I may have to go back to CM 10.

It probably is a terminology issue, but what I did was:
1. Create the image with a micro sd.
2. Drap the Rev3 zip to the sd
3. Shut off the Nook
4. Insert the sd into the Nook and then turned it on
5. Went to the option to flash via the sd card with volume and pressed home key
6. Chose the Rev3 zip and pressed home. The files installed,
7. Removed the sd
8. Restarted..... Hung on the Nook screen for ten minutes, so held power to turn off
9. Restarted
10. Was able to side load all of my apps that needed it after that. I started with Adobe Flash which works GREAT with Dolphin, Opera and Xscope (had to side load Xscope, since could not install via market).
I do not recall flagging permissions in the image menu. I thought the flash process did all that, which it apparently did for me.
Side loaded Flash, Oid emulators, aFBA, Xscope and some market games as well that could be saved with an unrooted back-up app.

His terminology was mixed up. He did not mean "fix permissions" either. He meant flashing the Extras zip, which enables unknown sources, not "flash permissions". But you had already done that.
So I don't know how to fix your problem.

Yep, to me getting unknown sources working is a permission, but wrong in the true Android terminology.
Regardless, being able to install by side loading and the 2.1 update make this one of the best tablets. Actually, it seems a direct equal to the Excite 7.7 which IMO is the best current overall tablet. Better in some regards. The display and power efficiency in sleep mode is a big part of the departuresweight for the HD+.

Thanks, All is Well !

Leapinlar- you have been wonderful with your work on this tablet . Your note made me realize that may be there is something wrong with the apk files I had copied from my other tablet. After spending many hours searching on google for sites that were not merely links to google play, I downloaded the apk files I needed. All of them installed perfectly !
Thanks once again to you,verygreen and bokbokan for making nook tablet the best tablet out there.
kind regards
PeeAm

Leap, rocks!

May be not the right place to ask, if that I am sorry. Anyway, by flashing extra.zip, will it help with host USB on the nook hd+?
TIA

No, it has nothing to do with that.

Hello, I followed your tutorial to the exact letter and all I got was my nook restarting several times before finally wiping itself and having to do the whole set up process again. I formatted the card and set the card to active like instructed. But which rar do I need? I am running the nook hd with 2.1.0. Software. I tried all the nook hd bootfiles rars listed and added the zip I wanted to install and it keeps rebooting and wiping.
Thanks

You need the one that says NookHD, CWM and BOOTFILES and ends in rar. You must extract the 5 files there to the SD. Be sure to copy the one named MLO first.

Ok thanks. I think I tired that one. But I will give it another go.

[Q] App installation error--uImage vs. uRamdisk mismatch?

While building a new NST system I've run into a problem with installing Opera Mobile. So far other apps have been installing OK.
Edit: just finished installing all other apps. Tasker also fails to install.
Background: in an attempt to get a configuration with USB Host/Audio and functioning NoRefresh, I took the uImage from the 1.1.5 USB+MultiTouch kernal but kept the uRamdisk that came with a different kernal package (NoRefresh would not work).
Everything seemed to go OK. I have functioning multi-touch, USB Host/Audio, as well as functioning NoRefresh. Yay. But this Opera Mobile app (downloaded a fresh copy) installs and runs just fine on my other NST. I tried installing from a file manager ("App not installed") and also via adb with this response:
Code:
[install_parse_failed_unexpected_exception]
A little Googling seems to suggest a signature issue, but I can't see why I should need to resign this app?

What does logcat say?
Do you mean Mobile_Classic_12_1_9_Generic_Opera_ARMv5v7.apk?

This is Opera_Mobile_12_1_Generic_Opera_Armv5v7 which installs and runs just fine on my other NST (with FW 1.2.1). The second NST is running FW 1.2.2 and I'm not sure if that's the issue, but I suppose it might be. I need to start from scratch with 1.2.2, root it and then do the installs before any of the kernal manipulation.
The log (attached) doesn't have things that jump up and shout "here's the problem!" (at least not to me). It is odd that only these two apps (the other being Tasker) are being funny.

You've got something screwed up and it's not accepting the newer SHA-1 signatures.
The old way was MD5.
If you look at an app that does install on that Nook it will be MD5.
You can fix the underlying problem or just resign the app yourself and see what happens.

I'm thinking there is no reason to overwrite uRamdisk once I have rooted using NookManager (which enables ADB over WiFi--not sure about the "init" thing which is mentioned at the beginning of the USB Host thread...). Anyway, that's my plan. I've restored and rooted again with NookManager. Nothing else done.
And......no, still no luck with the Opera Mobile install. Interesting. Probably best to return to FW 1.2.1 and see if that sorts this out.
Edit: Bingo! There is something about FW 1.2.2 and perhaps the files updated/patched by NookManager that causes the problem. Once back with 1.2.1, Opera Mobile installs without a hitch. Now to see if I can mess up things with the USB Host installation. Do I really need to update uRamdisk?!
