[Q] Nook loses track of glow light status - Nook Touch General

This weekend my Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight has begun losing track of the status of the light. Turning the light on works fine by all means and the light works normally. After you exit the Glowlight dialog, if you go back in to adjust the intensity of the light or turn it back off, it indicates that the light is "off" even when it is "on". At this point, in order to do anything, I have to check the "on" box again before I can change the intensity of the light or turn it off.
The device is rooted using my own combination of "NookManager" and "Tweaked Modded ROM". I have not made any changes to the device in the last month
Has anyone run across this before? Is there a solution? .

@David0226,
That is so interesting that you're having that problem, because I'm having a similar one! Thread: A minor bug/problem?
I haven't currently come across a fix, but I'm working on it. I'll let you know when/if I find one.

I know from several different threads where using sqlite is mentioned that the Nook saves certain pieces of information in database files. Perhaps the database that saves glowlight status is corrupt on both of our Nooks. While our issues appear to be exactly the opposite of each others, they essentially are the same. The Nook is losing track of glowlight status.
Perhaps somehow rebuilding the correct database would fix the issue. The problem is I don't know which database nor how to rebuild it.
Perhaps Renate could help if this is the case as she seems to appear in a large number of the threads relating to Nook databases.
If I don't get an answer by tomorrow, I think I will return my Nook to stock and follow Renate's Minimal rooting - back to basics thread. I really should be able to do everything I actually use with just basic root access.

Is one problem with the GlowLight really worth all of the data you have accumulated since you first rooted?
I mean, I know it's not really my business, but I don't think I'd go so far as to factory reset and reroot if I came across that problem.
Just my personal opinion. I do hope we can get a little help from @[color=green][u]Renate NST[/u][/color] in here.

Actually, 95% of the data I have accumulated since rooting is on an SDcard. So after re-rooting, I can simply put the SDCard back in and my data will be there.
One reason I am considering this is that since rooting the device, I have installed many apps and edited many system files without keeping a good record of what I have done. So I really don't know where I am at. If the Nook ran on Windows I would have had to re-install months ago.
I have found that there is really very little I actually use. Lightning Launcher and ALReader is pretty much it. I have tablets, so I don't need/want to turn my Nook into one.

Ah, then there's the difference between you and I. I don't have any other tablets, so that's why I use my NTG as a full tablet.
A good tip I'd recommend to you, if you're currently doing any "risky" modding (like me), make a fresh Noogie backup once a week or so. That way, if you do soft-brick my Nook, you can really restore to the way you were recently.

I typically use NookManager to make a backup before each "risky" mod. If you connect your Nook to your computer via USB while booted into NookManager, you can see the backup partition and copy off the backup files. I then rename them so that I can copy them back and restore from them if needed. I find restoring using NookManager much easier that restoring a Noogie backup.

Yeah, I used to use NookManager for backing up, too, but after looking at how the Noogie method vs. the NookManager method works, I discovered that the Noogie method actually makes a more complete backup than the NookManager method.
Plus, for some reason whenever I try to use the NookManager method, I get "Backup failed", so I can't do it anyway.

I bit the bullet and restored to factory default and followed Renate's Minimal rooting - back to basics instructions. It did take care of my glowlight problem.
I discovered that for my situation this is a perfect method. It allows me to make changes and install apps using ADB over WIFI, yet essentially I only have 'root' when using ADB. I can make all the changes I want over the ADB connection but nothing has root permissions if I (or one of my family) am using the Nook "normally". Thus, I have less chance of messing anything up during "normal" operation.
(I also carefully documented everything I did so I now know where I am at.)

nandroid on multiple devices?

Think this may be my first post...thanks to all the devs out there for making things happen! Consider myself an above average user, though I don't really have the knowledge to code a ROM (though I'm sure I could tackle it if I put my mind to it). I just very good at following instructions and can reasonably trouble shoot if things go wrong.
Tried doing a search for this & came up a little blank...could have been I didn't know exactly what to search for. In any case, my question is about nandroid backups. Currently on a CDMA Hero "with Google" rooted & running RegawMOD v2.0.1...PRI 1.70_003...PRL 60663...RA-heroc-v1.6.2 recovery. My wife's phone (for all intents & purposes) is exactly the same, however, I'm the technical one here and have spent a lot of time tweaking my phone. Once I get my phone exactly how I want it, could I flash my nandroid to her Hero to save time in tweaking hers? Or is the nandroid backup tied to one unique piece of hardware/phone #/google log-in?
Im pretty sure that's how droid users share roms, via nandroid.
u can do it, i have done it...a while back the first week i had my hero i bricked it, but i had a nandroid backup. After i got a new phone i rooted it and restored with a nandroid backup worked perfect.
Thanks...and just one more question. I was actually doing a Google search on this one & couldn't find one concrete, concise, answer. In the recovery image, I have 3 different backup choices (Nand, Nand+ext, BART). It's my understanding that Nandroid vs. BART is essentially 2 different ways of doing the same thing...with the ext portion being useful if you are using a2sd (which I'm not using yet). The first choice of Nand backup should make a snapshot of my entire system (ROM, apps, settings, etc...everything on the phone itself, not installed to SD), right?
Ultimately, what I'm trying to accomplish is making a snapshot of my entire phone, mirroring it onto my wife's and then doing some minor tweaks to make it her's (i.e. change the google log-in to her's).
*edit*
n/m, found it in the root cheatsheet. Nand = onboard system, Nand+ext = onboard system + a2sd.
Still not exactly sure what the benefit of BART is, though.
yeah your correct, bart is just a alternative....personally i always use nandroid. Just use nandroid, make a nandroid backup then mount your sd to your computer. Open the nandroid folder, then you will see something like HT.... folder open it. Then you will see all your different nandroids, copy the one of your choice to your desktop. Mount your wife's go to the same place paste the folder there. Boot into recovery home+power nandroid restore tada you done go in change the settings you need to (gmail account)
Does nandroid backup also restore the PRI and PRL or does it leave that untouched?

It should leave it untouched. Though it has a chance to change your pri. I dont know much about it. As long as you flash the most current roms we have know, it will leave it untouched.

[Q] Best Out... ?

I bought a Desire Z about two weeks before the 1.72.405.2 OTA update came along, and I allowed it to update (Yeah I know, this was after all my first Android device).
Anyway, lately my phones been running slowly and apps force closing, so I've decided to downgrade it and root it (psneuter method), and try some different ROM's.
What I was wondering is, what would be the best way without root, to backup as much of my data as possible, apps, sms, files, and also if possible a backup that I can use in case I scew it up, so I can get it back to the way it is now.
I have a copy of:-
RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed
which I believe is the stock ROM for this device, but as far as I know if it goes wrong I'll be unable to flash this as the update won't allow me to flash an earlier version..
Would I be able to mount and then backup the whole phone using adb or any other method.
I've been reading about it for a while now, and while I have lots of bits of information, I've been unable to find a good solution.
Thanks,
...John...

Without root, a good app to backup your other apps is astro file manager, its available free from the market, you just have to hit menu, tools and it'll back up all the apps on your sd card, in terms of files, just make sure their all on your sd card and they'll be fine
Not sure how to back up SmS but i know their are apps out their, a point you may have forgotten is to make sure you back up your contacts as they all get wiped and I made this mistake, the easiest way to do that is to make sure your contacts sync up with your google account so after rooting, you can just sync them back,
Hope i helped!
Use google to remember what apps you've downloaded from market. Once associated, when you flash a new rom, google will automatically redownload all your associated apps. For sms, i suggest you download GoSMS and use their internal backup feature. It will save to sd and be visible to your stock sms app as well on restore.

Ya but too many times google starts restoring apps that I uninstalled months ago. Great idea but bad implementation imo.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Sorry I haven't replied, was in work all day yesterday.
I have Astro File Manager, but I hadn't even considered it, thanks. I have my contacts sync'd with Google, so it seems that as long as I backup my files and sms everything else should be done automatically anyway.
Go SMS seems worth getting anyway, as the bog standard Android messages app is seriously dull. I'll give it a try.
I had wondered about Google Market restoring apps, but I thought it would only reinstall apps that were installed at the last sync.
If you install an app and it screws up your phone, and do a factory reset then Google will just reinstall the app that caused all the problems in the first place.
Definitely a good idea, but needs more work.
Anyway, thanks for all the info, I'll give it try tonight, when I get back from work.
...John...
I find SMS Backup & Restore to be the best app for this purpose and I wouldn't recommend the backup feature from the market, as you said it is likely to give problems.
Without root though, the backup choices are somewhat limited for apps and such.
I've been using Super Manager by gpc. It works pretty good, plus offers a ton of other features that can be used with or without root.
I've backed up what I could, although it's typical that as soon as it's all gone I realised things that I should have wrote down (I had been using the wallet/pocket app and although I backed up all my apps, I'm guesing it won't have backed up any of the passwords, logins, bank details, etc).
Anyway, I've downgraded and successfully rooted my phone (through gfree), I have CID: 11111111 and S-Off, but I haven't installed and ROM's yet as I read somewhere that you are supposed to wipe everything between ROM's, am I wiping the Davlik cache or doing a factory reset (I mean won't the factory reset just reset my stock ROM back to it's original condition).
I'm also wondering about finding custom ROMs, on my dell streak I had installed ROM Manager and could get a list of any that were available.
I first installed ROM Manager and used it to flash recovery, but this time I've installed CWM first, so would it be safe to install ROM Manager now, will it want to flash a recovery over the one I have already.
Or is it not advisable to use ROM Manager, as I have previously heard of a few problems it may cause.
Thanks ...John...
Rom manager shouldn't give any problems, but for custom roms it's best to take a look at the development forum. If you don't like that you can still use the list in rommanager, it might be just me who prefers downloading roms to my pc first.
But before you install any of them I recommend you make a nandroid backup from recovery just to be safe.
I think the issues were that some people, not all, found problems flashing some of the gingerbread roms via Rom manager. Better to save the Rom to SD and then flash it via CWM.
Right I've done a nandroid backup, and I've saved one to another mSD card which I can keep somewhere just in case (probably a bit over cautious, but...).
I thought that by saving apps to an sd card, they would run from the sd when I restarted my phone, even the ones that I had moved previously with the application manager in settings are not seen.
Still reinstalling the ones I want isn't really that bad.
Seriously, somebody needs to sort out the Markets app backups feature, when I was setting up the phone at first, I specifically chose to not automatically sync with Google and that I would do it manually when needed. Then I went in to the market to get a file manager and the download failed, it was only when I looked at what was going on I realised it was already downloading and reinstalling 96 apps. I looked around for a 'cancel all' option and there isn't any, so I had to cancel them all one by one and then uninstall the ones that had managed to install.
A simple checklist to select the apps you want would be great, oh, and a cancel all button would be a bonus.
Anyway, things are not as much fun when they're too easy.
Thanks ...John...

Simple question - Backup >before< Rooting?

I've spent 2 hours reading this forum and there are a lot of assumptions in all the posts in here. I'd simply like to start mucking around with my new Nook color and want to back it up before doing any thing else.
Strangely, this step is emphasised in most threads - "Step 1: BACK UP!" yet nobody explains how to do this on a VIRGIN, UNROOTED Nook. I'm totally familiar with CWM and Nandroid and Titanium Backup etc. but I don't know how to back up virgin Nook before I do anything else. So:
1) Can I back up my Nook Color before I root it? (If not, why do so many threads tell me to back it up before I start rooting??) If I can, how?
I want to back it up so that if/when I want to restore the device back to how it is right now (i.e. I turned it on, entered my B&N login and p/w, timezone, and wireless config)
A link to an existing thread would be great - I've tried but can't find this simple step.
The only things you can backup without rooting are "Unlocked" applications, and your data.
I honestly rooted my Nook before I did anything else, so I'm not sure if the applications I have used on my non-rooted phones will work on a stock Nook Color, but I used Astro File Manager to back up my applications, and just made sure my data was saved to an SD card.
I would recommend using the method listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061523 to backup your stock ROM. The beautiful thing about the Nook is that you can run a "Rooted" ROM from an SD card, and once you pull it, the NC boots off of the internal memory again!
Then, you can follow the guides to permanently root your Nook, or you can stick with SD card ROMs. The wonderful thing is that it's actually very hard to "Brick" the Nook and make it completely unusable, so you can usually recover even if something goes horribly wrong.
Once you're running a rooted ROM, you can use the "ClockWork Mod" recovery to do a "Nandroid" backup. A Nandroid will restore everything, so it's useful whenever you're making changes, switching ROMs, or doing anything that might be "risky". Which is why everyone always says "Backup!"
Hopefully this makes a little more sense to you now.
If you want a Perfect Backup Image of your Nook Color's Unrooted/Hacked state there's only one way I can reccomend.
-Follow verygreen's Guide for Burning CM7 to a MicroSD
-Boot into CM7
-Attach your Nook to your PC
-Make sure ADB is setup properly for use with your Nook
-Now use the Following ADB command
Code:
adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0 NookColorBackup.img
-Now wait
This should make a perfect image of your Nook Color. When you want to restore use the following command
Code:
adb push NookColorBackup.img /dev/block/mmcblk0
If you have any questions please PM me and I'll post the Reply here as I don't have time currently to sift through all of my Subscriptions to check for Replies. I'll also be unreachable from 7/17 to 7/24.
I hope this helps.
EDIT: The advantage to my method over the above guy's method, is that this doesn't require an 8gb+ card and it copies the Image directly to the PC where you Ultimately want the Backup anyway. Though it's up to you to decide which way you prefer.

I put it in, rebooted and I'm in clockwork. I did a backup. Is that good enough?
Gotta copy it to the PC. Put the sd card in the PC or use the OSes built in usb mount feature. copy the /clockworkmod/backups folder.

[Q] Nook Simple Touch Rooted with touchnooter 1.6.24 and B&N Updates

Hello:
I've a Nook Simple Touch (1.0.0) rooted with touchnooter 1.6.24 and I'd like to know if I may be able to update to 1.0.1.
I'm not on the US and (as far as I know) the update will happen only if and when I do it manually: copy the ZIP, paste it in the NOOK drive from a PC and so forth...
Should I, should I not? Will I 'brick' my nook or it depends... on what, exactly?

Sebastian,
I was pretty much in the same situation as you: 1.0.0 and rooted. I installed the update via download from BN. I had to reroot it using touchnooter 1.6.24 again, and it went pretty fine (it looked on rooted forever screen during root, but I rebooted and it went fine the 2nd time).
But if you are using non-bn reading apps, I don't see much advantage on updating. After a couple of months, I was not able to use market on my computer to select apps for later download on the nook - it showed that I had no device, and a few weeks ago, market stopped working. I don't know if it would have happened if I had 1.0.0.

There's no reason not to do the update.
Some people have experienced problems with updating a TouchNootered NST from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1
Did you take a backup before TouchNooter? If so restore the backup before updating and then just reapply TouchNooter.
If not, you might wanna try a factory restore and possibly a factory reset before updating.
Factory Restore: (Restores your system back to basics, almost..)
Interrupt boot 8 times by long pressing power button (10s) as soon as you see the screen flicker.
Or just boot the nookRestore image if you don't want the hassle.
Factory Reset: (Wipes your data)
Power on your NST then press and hold bottom left and right buttons as soon as you see the screen flicker.
If you're doing the above, then also take your time to make a backup before rooting again
Nook Simple Touch Rooted with touchnooter 1.6.24 and B&N Updates
OK... Thanks to both of you for your quick reply.
If I'm reading this properly, if I want to use the B&N 1.0.1 update, I'd better:
Unroot de NST
Update de NST 1.0.0 to 1.0.1
Root the NST 1.0.1 with TouchNooter 1.6.24 after updating successfully
That said, if I do a Factory Restore (with or without the handy nookRestore image), what will happen to my NST's registration and Shelve data? Loose it too?

System Restore will not wipe your data.
System Reset will wipe most, if not all of your settings, apps, etc..
Just plug your NST and copy the folder that holds your library, then copy it back to your NST after all the updates etc. are done.
Re-registering your NST is as easy as providing your B&N user/pass.

While it would be possible to make a root method that would survive a 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 update, it's not possible to know what system files will be replaced by a future update and thus trying to make something like that is probably just a waste of time

What happens if I do a system reset and a restore on a 1.0.1? Do I get back to pristine 1.0.1, or back to 1.0.0? Or somewhere in between?

A Factory Restore should send your system back to 1.0.0
It doesn't wipe your settings, data etc, to do that you need to do a Factory Reset.
Depending on what's modified a NST might never get back to "pristine" state with Restore/Reset.
This is why I repeatedly tell people to take a backup before "rooting".
That's a little too late for me. The mess is already done. Instruction for backup only showed up a couple of days after I rooted.
But I hope that the backup of a little bit messed up nook is better than no backup at all, I guess.
And I'll do it anyway. In order to restore market, mostly. All market substitutes didn't help at all. And as I've done a backup with Titanium backup, I think I'll be able to restore apps in no time.

Back-up my data from unrooted Nook Simple Touch

Hello!
I have an unrooted version of Nook Simple Touch, firmware 1.2.1 and I would like to back-up my notes, highlights and bookmarks. Is there anyway to do so?
If I root it, will I loose all this data?
Also, please give me a link for a good rooting guide.
You have several options. NookManager will allow you to perform a backup of the current configuration and provides an easy way to root, check this link for more info... NookManager - graphical rooter for 1.2.x and beyond.
You can also find instructions on how to make a complete backup (and exact 2GB image of your Nook) in the Backup/Restore N2E
You can also root using the information in the Minimal rooting - back to basics thread, which requires much more technical skill, but allows you more control over what gets installed.

To follow on to whate David said, you can actually control what gets installed in NookManager by editing the .img before you write it to the microSD card.
Just a thought.
Thanks guys for your replies!
What do you think about this tutorial? http://geekanddummy.com/how-to-rooting-the-nook-simple-touch/
I'm asking because you can install Android v 2.1 on your Nook.
If I root it, afterwards I will be able to access my data? I mean, will remain all the saved notes and adnotations from a given book?

That rooting method should work fine. However, you should know that your Nook already has Android 2.1 on it - that's the stock version (B&N just modified it for their own use). You don't need to change your Android version, nor should you.
And yes, unless you accidentally brick your Nook, you will be able to access all the data you had before you rooted.
Many thanks to you Sir thenookieforlife3!
How can I access my back-up data on the PC? Is there any chance to open it with software like Word, Notepad etc?

There is not a way to back up that specific data alone, but if you make a full device backup, your notes and highlights will be included.

You can't, basically. The only thing you could do with a device backup if you made one is restore it back to your NST if you brick it.
