I am very interested in rooting my NC but have several questions that I cannot find answers to. Maybe you guys can help.
1. I know rooting voids the warranty. Can you restore to stock after rooting so they have no idea that you have rooted if a problem arises?
2. Can you still run BN apps after rooting? For example, I bought a Boynton book and still want to access and use it. Is that possible?
3. Does the software that I install with rooting update automatically or do I have to manually update the software every so often?
4. I have read that the Froyo option is best for NC. Is that true?
5. I am running software version 1.2.0 and my serial number begins with 2011. My model number is BNRV200. Is your Autonooter 3.0.0 for this version or is there another version?
Thanks for any and all help you can provide!!
1. Yes you can restore it to stock, have a look around for the answer. Rooting theoretically voids your warranty. Though don't think B&N can find out, at least the average shop assistant won't
2. Well if you just root your device then it will still run the Nook firmware so the only change will be that you can install non-Nook market apps and run apps as root.
Now if you go on the root of installing a custom build e.g. CM7 you can still install the Nook app--like you can do on any android device--and have your library there.
3. Nope you will most likely have to update manually.
4. Well since Nook's update 1.2 it runs Froyo natively. CM7 is based on Gingerbread, while there is also Honeycomb but that is based on an SDK... I know I must have confused you more... so better go to the Android development section and have a read.
5. I would recommend ManualNooter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027
Nice reply sid
Sent from my Nexus S for Netflix but really a NC.
Thank You sibby!! So, if I root and then need to manually update the software, how do I know when an update is available? Do I just have to keep up with it? I will read the info you suggested. Thanks so much again!!
Another question. If I go with the manual root, then that isn't resetting the entire operating system (as it were) but just allowing me to install non market apps, correct? That is really all I want to do anyways.
One way to get more out of a Nook Color is to run Cyanogenmod 7 off of an SD card. This does not require rooting, does not change the stock install at all, and does not void your warranty.
Installing the latest stable CM7 version with the "Size Agnostic SD Card" method is not very difficult, although it requires a microSD card reader on your computer.
Just got a Nook Color bnrv200rb

I have that same model number and was wondering if this advice still applies or if there has been a new release for auto-nooter that works with it or something. Thanks
Hi,
First post so please be gentle. I've got a Lg GT540 running 1.6 and wanted to install a couple of apps onto the phone internal memory, so I got the apk files onto my desktop and connected the phone up via usb and could not and have not been able to copy these files onto the internal memory. In fact the phone does not come up as a drive or anything and copying the files onto the sd card leaves them stuck there and not being installed.( Mainly the astro file manger app.)
I then considered upgrading the phone to 2.1 via the LG site and downloaded LG suite etc and all was going well until the process stopped at 4% upgrade and requested I disconnect from pc, remove battery etc etc. I tried to follow that procedure 3 times and it still failed.
Not beaten I then found some stuff online to enable me to reflash to 2.2 (Modaco) and started that process. One of the first things it required me to do was start the phone in Fastboot mode by holding the camera button down whilst powering up. THe phone stubbornly refused to go into Fast boot.
Sooo, How do I get to copy Astro onto the internal memory so I can do what I want to and/or how can I upgrade to 2.2/
Firstly when you try to get into fastboot it wont work until you install a fastboot kdz.
This will allow you to flash roms onto ur phone.
I've made a video on a "how to" its in the general, look trought the pages or visit www.YouTube/user/tech2tuts
There's also a video on how to install android 2.3 swiftdroid. Its on the same channel in the favorites.
But beware u will lose all you apps unfortunately. Unless you get astro file manager or titanium back up which requires your phone to be rooted.

Unable to install apps
Hi Chris, Thank you for the link to the demo and I will need to look at that with a view to implementing. No doubt I'll be asking for some assistance during the process.
However I'm still at a loss with not being able to install apps directly onto the phone memory and would appreciate some pointers on that. I have acess to a desktop running XP and a laptop running Windows 7.
Thanks in advance.
You probly cant install apps due to lack of internal memory. Bye install the Kdz it will enable over 230mb of internal , along with apps to sd, so no need for use of internal.
unable to install apps
Thanks again, but phone showing 3.6 gb avaiable on sd card and 120mb available on internal memory?
I really want to know why my pc connection only reads my sd card and not the internal memory. Is there an approved way of connection ie whether I need to use any LG software etc.
Hmm that's odd. When you connect to comp it should only show SD card, have u tried a factory reset?

unable to install apps
Hi again,
have made some progress and managed to update the os to 2.1 off the LG site.
When usb plugged into pc it does read the sd card and I am able to copy files inc apps to it but do not know how to run them!!! My belief is that I need to install apps to the phone memory???
Ohhh i think i see your problem now.
So uve downloaded apps from this website or other?
And you want to know how to install them?
Get astro file manager or any other ones the same,connect your phone, put the Downloaded file into a folder , like downloads in your SD card then disconnect your phone , open astro the go into SD card and downloads folder and press on the app, it will ask you to install and Bam your done.
Or if its saying that ur not able to install it, go settings>applications>development>usb debugging tick it and also allow installation or 3rd party apps tick that to.
I think that what you mean?
Hi Chris, I think you are close to understanding my problem, I have a apk file of astro pro on my pc but am not sure where to copy it to. I have tried copying it onto my sd card but am then not able to run it?
Do I need to have the phone rooted etc?

The first thing to do would be to downlaod Astro Free from the market and then navigate to the sd (home on astro) and select the apk, open app manager and install, install. Now it will be installed.
Tap here and then tap download directly from market to download from market.

Yeah i understand. Follow these instructions. Astro is free on the market anyway. The pro version is no different.
A very big thank you to Chris and Quinney I actually had the Astro apk on my laptop and sent it across via Bluetooth and I'm now up and running, Only had bluetooth working since the update to 2.1
Wouldn't mind getting it to run a little faster though, I see people reporting 800mhz being smooth.
unable to install apps
Hi, thanks Chris and Quinney, Finally managed to send the Astro apk from my laptop via bluetooth and all my problems are behind me.
Thanks once again.
No problem.
I switched recently from the Note 1 to the N3 (9005, unbranded). Main reason: I want to use the Multimedia Docking Station and a hard drive to get a portable media player and laptop replacement. (The Note 1 could not use HDMI and USB host at the same time).
In order to use my existing NTFS formatted drives I wanted to install the Paragon NTFS&HFS+ app, which needs root access. Though the Vega rooting procedure will make it quite likely to root the N9005 without setting Knox to 0x1 as well, I did not know about that and used Chainfires CF-Auto-Root yesterday to root my device. (So now I got the Knox flag set to 0x1, but that is not the issue).
Having root, I could install the Paragon driver, and they detect a NTFS drive, but it cannot be mounted: I get like many other people here the message
"prevention information: An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device"
(well, in German Language...)
Since I thought that Knox or so still might be active, I flashed then the rom "SM-N9005XXUBMJ1-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-KNOX-FREE" in order to get rid of any Knox issues.
But connecting a NTFS drive, I got a similar message. Also NTFSmount as an alternative was stopped. One difference was, that the message did not pop up in its own window anymore. The service was just stopped. And Paragon said: Error code 1 Permission denied.
My next try was to install LBE security master which I used as an ad blocker on the older Note 1. But I ran into a kind of boot loop issue: After doing an ad scan or after rebooting the device just freezes. I guess that Samsung also locks LBE, and only the screen can still be switched on and off, nothing else. After rebooting it freezes again after a few seconds.
After several attempts I was fast enough to stop LBE in the app settings menu before the devize froze. Then I could de-install it, and the Note 3 worked fine again.
I repeated this test with newer LBE version 5.0.3967_A1_de_signed.apk with exactly the same results.
Now I am a little bit frustrated. I did not only spend the money for the Note 3, and gave up my warranty, but I am still not able to use it as a small portable media player. though in principle everything works. I pay a device and do not really own it
My questions: Is there anybody who can help me to mount external NTFS formatted drives? And if LBE security master can be made working as well, this would be even better, I don't want to allow all apps to get internet access, especially if my mobile data plan has sometimes not much room left to play with
I searched a lot, but could not find a thread about this issue so far. And I hope it is fine if I open a new one.
Thanks for reading so much, any help is really appreciated!

Nobody using a Firewall like LBE on his rooted Note 3? Or are there similar apps like LBE security master, which I am not aware off? And also nobody is trying to connect the note to an NTFS drive? Or are there just no solutions? Any help is really much appreciated.

Hi !
Actually i have exactly the same problem than you. I'd like to install LBE on my Galaxy Note 3 but it freeze the phone and you have to reboot the phone and uninstall LBE quickly before it freezes again.
I don't have any solutions but i'm in the same situation so if anybody have some tips to avoid device froze, it'll be welcome.
(may be a future version will correct that problem, hope wait will not be so long)
I too am having the same problem getting Paragon NTFS&NFS+ to "mount" after I've rooted my T-Mobile GN3 (SM-N900T) using CF-AUTO-ROOT.
I have done some reading on xda and it looks like this is due to the new Samsung security measure, so this is not GN3 specific.
Is there a solution to this atm? If there isn't can someone please tell me what those measures are that's preventing applications from running.
Many of us are getting the "Prevention Information" message:
An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device

I finally was successful with the Saber Kernel from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484840
Now SELinux is running in permissive mode, and all apps get true root permissions. Everything fine including NTFS mounting, LBE security master etc. I only cannot get NFC being switched on, there's just a grey field.... And I cannot test LTE. But Wifi and BT work perfectly.
BTW, for me and my N9005 I could only use the "green" kernel, the red caused a boot loop, the yellow caused many apps to force close.
Now I'm looking for a solution of the NFC issue....

Thanks! I can confirm that the SaberN2Kernel resolves the issue. Paragon NTFS&HFS+ is now able to mount volumes on external usb mass storage devices. Although, in addition to the "Prevention Information" message I get prior to the kernel flash/update, I am now prompted with another notification:
Detection Information:
The device has detected an application attempting unpermited actions. To protect your device, it is recommended you reboot.

Even though I can blithely ignore these notifications, but do you know what (and how) do I need to remove from and/or disable on my system to get rid of these messages?
Since you are rooted, try the app to disable knox notification or you can use the terminal emulator method to disable knox notification. Both are available on one of the threads here.

Hello,
I am using a Sprint Galaxy S4 on stock 4.4.2. I recently set out to enable native tethering so I can have 4g on my tablet. After looking around a little I found the odex and jar for my device/version (NAE) and used TowelRoot to get root access. After copying over the services.jar and services.odex files I found that any time I install a new app it will crash when I try to open it. My root access has also been removed (TowelRoot will not give me root anymore) and some programs can't write to the phone or SD Card such as Box. Since root access has somehow been revoked I can't put the old services.jar and .odex back in place.
I installed the jar and odex by simply copying them to the system/framework folder per a QBKing77 guide. Another guide had suggested installing using goomanager but I quickly found that it was discontinued. I considered using Flashify but ended up just using QBKing's method since it was quicker and required no extra app.
Thanks for any help you can give me. I'm happy to provide additional information (such as a stack trace of a crash) if it's helpful in any way.

No
Just flash the stock rom.
You can backup the following by these methods.
Contacts : Press the menu button in the contacts app. Press on Import/Export then export to SD card.
Apps : Download ApkExtract from the play store and backup the apps.
App data (high score in games etc.) : Download Helium from the playstore and backup the app data. Note app data gets stored on the internal sdcard, so move it to the external sd card.
Images : Go to gallery and press on an album. Merge it with an existing album that is present on the ext memory card.
Rest you know how to
You wont lose anything if you just flash the matching stock rom, but why take chances and then repent.

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately I will still lose my apps and high scores since I cannot currently use any new apps even if I install using the apk instead of play store. But I don't play a lot of phone video games so that's okay and apparently I can just tell Google Play to reinstall all apps. I think I will use this as an opportunity to flash SlimKat and get away from all the silly Sprint bloatware.

Ohh sorry i missed the flow of the thread
Haha reflash stock rom. You will lose nothing..
I just got a mad catz mojo console for my birthday, have it all set up but I am having some issues I need to resolve and am at a loss. 1) I am not on the newest firmware (which ends in 505) so I tried to check for system update and every single time settings crashes. I also have tried the way outlined in the official guide, downloading the newest firmware in the web browser, going to all apps, button then choose system update. However when I go to all apps there is no place to choose system update. What do I do and do I really need to update my firmware?
2) when I open retroarch nothing happens except I get a pop-up window stating something about loading cores but it then freezes and then I have to close the app to retry. Why can't I run this app? Is there a way to fix it? Will the firmware update fix it? If I root it can I expect these kinds of problems to go away?
3) lastly, I have a wd passport 1tb hardrive formatted to fat32. Neither usb port will recognize it. Es file explorer shows it's plugged in but says failed to open. Every other hard drive and flash drive I have pit in has worked but I need to use the wd passport because it doesn't have an external power supplying. Any ideas? Thank you I would really appreciate any advice.
***Update****I factory reset, installing the 205 firmware with no problem and got retroarch working. Also used Towelroot to get superuser access but haven't yet fixed my hard drive problem so I just bought a 128gb sd card. Everything is working faster and smoother after the update.
