The NC return "An Unexpected Error Occurred" message after starting the B&N sync in the Libraries of either Magazines or in Books. I did the Market tip which reset Market for me. Btw, I upgraded from ManualNooter 4.5.6 to 4.5.18.
NookColor 1.2, ManualNooter 4.5.18
Any suggestions,
getting the same error
Huh, I think it was from B&N. It also occurred in the B&N app, running under CM7.
Though, I have not confirmed that my magazine subscriptions have updated since the 4.5.18 update.
The error did not occur in the B&N app, running under CM7 today.
see thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092036 to see if that helps.
Shucks, the error still occurs in MN but doesnt appear in the Nook app in CM7.
Shop displays, but, clicking on a book selection errors out: service unavailablle.
Sent from my NOOKcolor MN 4.5.18 using XDA Premium App
To resolve the issue I reformated my NC and flashed back to 1.01 following this process: [HOW-TO] : Restore Nook Color back to stock EASILY!
Then updated to NC v1.2 via the manual load method.
Then installed MN 4.5.18.
Seems to be working but with an exception or two observed:
1. On install of 1.0.1, the NC app, Springpad appeared as a book on Home and still does. I can archive it (as a book) but it is not in the app archive (1.2). Downloading just makes it appear and act as a book.
Is there a way to remove NC apps that appear and act like books?
2. I thought there was another observation, oh ya, the reformatting and restore to 1.0.1 instructions indicate that I would loose all my personal data. It and other stray folders remain.... curious....
3. Wifi is annoying, but after a while, I noticed it should settle down and mind its own.
MN nice! I like the Nook Home button.
I successfully removed and then installed Springpad:
1. Archive the app.
2. Log onto B&N in your favorite browser and then delete it from the archive.
3. Find app and the install app.
It is somehow tied up with either the "Account and Sync Settings 2.2.1" or "AuthenticationSvc 1.0" system apps...or both together. Maybe someone with better skills than me can work with that.
I been looking around and i found some threads but I just wanted to make this clear.
If your on Stock 1.4.1 you can't side load apps at all unless you root your nook?
And to root it you need to downgrade then upgrade and loose all your data right?
My friend has a 1.4.1 nook and I was going to side load a apk to get on our wireless and it won't work AND the app isn't in the nook market.
Its Called XpressConnect
I tried using the different scripts and I couldn't get ADB to recognize the Nook Tablet and whenever I see anything about nook and ADB I go right back into the rooting stuff and rooting unfortunately is not a option.
Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything
Thanks in advance
We know that B&N v1.4.1 blocked the sideloading feature. I don't know that even with rooted v1.4.1, it works or not. Someone will please verify this as I want to know too.
I don't believe rooting will remove/delete any of your data.
Side question: are you talking about Nook Tablet or Nook Color?
You're trying to sideload apps without rooting, correct? Are you using a Nook COLOR or a Nook TABLET?
On the Tablet, 1.4.0 still allowed sideloading, while 1.4.1 blocked it.
On the Color, I was not able to get the required settings to sideload without root on 1.4.1. I am not 100% sure if it can be done or not.

Sideloading works just fine on a rooted Nook Color running 1.4.1
Nook Tablet
And which root method can I use that will not loose any data? If I root does it block any of the Nook services? Will they know? I don't want to screw my friend over on her "Nook" Experience lol I just want to load this one apk so she can get on the companys wifi
Thanks magicland for the confirmation on rooted NC v1.4.1.
Capcom,
I don't have the NT so I can't help. Other members might help you, if not, you should go to NOOK Tablet forum to get more answer/help since this is the NOOKcolor room.

I'm still running a rooted 1.1.2 nst non glow and was Wondering?
1. IS IT safe to Update?
2. IS THERE a working root for 1.2?
What are the new features in 1.2?
Sent from my NOOK using xda app-developers app
I rooted my NST using tinynoot on fw 1.2. Not sure about the new features because I just got mine and had immediately upgraded. to it.
i'm waiting for your impressions, i don't root 1.2.0 yet
I upgraded my US Nook Glow to firmware 1.2 and then rooted using tinynoot.
I believe tinynoot works for glow and non-glow.
I tried the rooting package that has been put together for the UK Nook1.2. It doesn't work for the US Nook 1.2 - the nook roots, but I had no access to any apps, not even adb.
Tinynoot includes only a few basic apps, such as ADB Wireless, Button Savior, Amazon Appstore and NookColorTools. No google apps.
I did not have access to android market -but with ADB wireless I was able to install apps.
I had the apk files already saved to my computer - if you don't have the apk files you will need to scrounge them off the internet.
I liked the updated 1.2 a lot! The reader is improved, the dictionary includes the ability to type in a word and search for it.
The dictionary also includes the ability to receive and search for multiple word phrases, such as 'ad hoc'
The US Nook 1.2 doesn't have the option to change language / locale, which I believe the UK Nook 1.2 does have.
To get to this function on US Nook - open NookColorTools - click on Development - Locale - ....
If you choose a language that you don't know, such as Chinese, French or German- then you won't be able to understand your nook anymore!
I could not get any Google apps working. I used k9mail for mail (including gmail)
but could not get any calendar to work, I tried every calendar app I could find.
In the meantime, I have gone back to 1.1.5, as I need to have my calendar with me.

One annoying feature of new Nook HD+ (and assuming Nook HD) is that during initial set up it will look for and force you to update (if one is found). There is a neat and really easy trick to bypass this process.
Once you get to that step in the process, during the process hold down the power button and force it to shut off by selecting "OK" in the prompt. You have to do it before it finishes downloading the update.
Once you power it back on you'll have to restart the whole process of entering your WiFi and information again. When you get to the point where the device looks for an update, it will look for a few seconds and determine that its got the latest version installed and proceed to the next phase.
To make sure you did it correctly just go into "Settings" and check the version. For me my default was 2.0.4, for you it may be different, but either way its not 2.0.5.
I've tested it multiple times and always with great success.
What about 2.0.4 do you prefer over 2.0.5?
Also, let us know if this actually stays on 2.0.4. Those of us who had already registered Nooks (both HD and HD+) when 2.0.5 came out got updated in spite of having turned off auto updates.

It was for rooting purposes, since at the time I couldn't find a rooting tool for 2.0.5, that's why. Also I too had registered once under 2.0.5, and when starting fresh found that this method does work regardless of what you initially registered under. Though it only buys you little time to do whatever modifications you need to to your device before it automatically updates you (you could also leave WiFi turned off too).

Ok, I thought that might be why. Thankfully we can root 2.0.5 now. But it's good to know this method of postponing that initial update if I ever need to reset and start over.
nook hd+ auto-updated after leapinlar root+cwm fixes
My Nook HD+ notified me last night that it had auto-updated to 2.0.6 but I was able to get back my original Nova Prime Launcher and the Google Play store continues to work (it broke Beautiful Widgets, but uninstalling it and reinstalling it fixed that)
I had originally rooted it from 2.0.5 using the Universal Root method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
I had the following images installed:
NookHD-HDplus-Gapps+Extras-for-stock-rev1.zip
NookHD-HDplus-Universal-Root-rev1.zip
NookHD-HDplus-LocationServices.zip
Using CWM for here:
NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6023-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev1.zip
Note - I did not manually update or in anyway 'induce' the update, it just happened. Did I miss something in the instructions to prevent auto-update?
Atleast the play store and Nova Launcher keeps working (not had time to check if root is still working though) But I did notice that the B&N Home launcher keeps showing up more often than before (hitting apps and going back brings back Nova)
Thanks

We have known for a while that setting the OTA to manual does not seem to stop auto updates anymore. The good news is that it still accepts the root. Just flash universal root again.

I might have found a way how to disable Nook HD OTA autoupdate feature.
For some reason setting com.bn.device.fota.mode to manual does not work, so there is more straight approach to solve this.
So far i have found two:
1) Once you have rooted your device it is just a matter of editing /etc/hosts file and adding couple of lines
127.0.0.1 nook.com
127.0.0.1 barnesandnoble.com
127.0.0.1 su.barnesandnoble.com
which effectively blocks access to autoupdates, but when you reboot your device, all your data will be erased (nook will restore itself to factory state). So some way around is needed.
2) There is an app on google store called "Android Firewall", install it. Once installed block Wifi for NookConnectivityService. GAPPS and browser will not be affected, you'll get norification "Wifi error". But otherwise wifi is fuctional.

You can symlink the hosts file. See my HD/HD+ tips thread linked in my signature. Look at item 15. Of course there are othe ways to prevent the update, like symlinking build.prop and doing the white on white repair. But those just cause the update to fail, while this may prevent them even checking. If this works, I may update my CWM zip to include it.
EDIT: After researching this a little I have found an easy way to accomplish this. That is to use AdAway. You can safely use that program if you configure it to put the hosts file on /data. It automatically symlinks it for you. But you need to be rooted to use this app. And it has a feature where you can add your own sites to block. Just add those sites listed in the post above. Then every time AdAway updates its own list, it adds your list to it also. This will block B&N from using those sites to download their updates. But realize that it also blocks you from browsing their site.

Nice! It works then Including it to CWM zip is a good idea, with a warning, that you get to loose one site. That rooting thing imho is the whole reason for not using it, but substituting with google play.
BTW Is your hybrid cm10.1 stable on nook hd+ ?

You did not miss it. I just got it working this weekend and this is the first I have told anyone. I am going to test it a while before I even consider making it for anyone else. It does work but I had to manually configure some things. And it only works on CM10.1, not CM10. Until we get some better CM10.1's it does not really matter anyway.

Anyway. If you need some "hard testing" (when testing may make item dead) then ask me. I have one item with no warranty and ... you know, its not mine ... and its not last one.
