From nookDevs
HELP! I have tried rooting my Nook 1010 (with stock 1.5) with https://nookdevs.com/Rooting_1.5_on_any_hardware. I get the error from Android SDK Failed to fetch URL , reason: Permission denied: create. I have clicked the force http button...no help there. Finally somehow managed to get Platform Tools and Honeycomb Preview loaded into SDK. However, when I run adb.exe and try to connect my Nook, I get the error: "*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 ADB server didn't ACK
- failed to start daemon*
error: cannot connect to daemon". I am stuck. I am running Win7, and have tried to figure out what the problem is, but I'm not "geeky" enough I guess. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Or is there another confirmed way to connect to a Nook with stock 1.5? Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point~~! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I trying rooting the nook with nookDevs Softroot. I got stuck in the step 3: Step 3: Getting a root shell with the Android Debug Bridge I DON'T UNDERSTAND this: With the NOOK_IP being the IP address of your nook, enter the following:
adb connect NOOK_IP:5555
I downloaded and installed Android SDK. I found the IP address of my nook. In a terminal (command line) linux, I navigated to the "tools" directory in the Android SDK. I made: ls cd ./android-sdk-linux_86 ls cd ./tools ls
NOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO?? Can someone help me please? Also now I cannot install the upgrade 1.3, I cannot change the background, music and screen-saver because I don't have a setting, I cannot serf the web because I don't have yet the browser and I'm not yet root.. My poor Nook it's like The Hunchback of Notre Dame! Thanks Chang
Suppose the IP address is 159.25.31.43, then type:
./adb connect 159.25.31.43:5555
./adb shell
Hi,
I have just received my new Nook 3g+WIFI here in Spain, and my first problem is that I couldn´t type the spanish letter "ñ" in the nook keyboard. Do you known any way to do that? Thanks a alot.
Just returned from Boston to the UK with a Nook + wi-fi - what a great machine
Still getting my head round the system, but does anyone know if it is possible to make playlists as it appears only to do one for all the mp3's I have transferred.
Software version is 1.4.0 (not softrooted)
Cheers
Hi, I'm attempting to perform the softroot, yet my nook is stuck at installing the 1.0.0 software. I continues to say "installing software update" on the e-ink while the touchscreen periodically turns on and off says "restoring to factory fallback" yet no progress is made. The nook is completely unresponsive and holding the power button does nothing. Can anyone help please? It would be much appreciated.
Does softroot unlock NAND? Is nandroid backup possible?
would be interesting to know.
- my q is does android have nand? and why would anyone care? full backup was possible until the latest nook revision - it involves copy of internal sd card byte by byte. as far as structure here's something to read --Spec 20:18, 28 August 2010 (PDT)
reply to above: Because anytime you are tinkering outside userspace with android, a nand backup is invaluable should something like an apparent brick or bootloop occur, and it seems like having this should be a very high priority for the devs.

possible for softroot to be updated to include WMA and other file formats?
i imagine it would be possible to integrate the necessary codecs into the ROM
- since it supports mp3 what would be the point spending time on implementing wma support --Spec 20:18, 28 August 2010 (PDT)
reply to above:
a large amount of people have WMA content through a number of ways...they ripped music using WMP into WMA format instead of MP3, or have the title they want to borrow from their public library only being offered in WMA instead of MP3. The latter point is huge. The audiobook collection from libraries has a lot more content than MP3. Adding WMA support makes sense.
- you can convert it into mp3 and put it into nook. unless it's drm'd --Spec 04:53, 29 August 2010 (PDT)
Here http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12837&contentId=52605 are more exact specs for NOOKcolor's TI OMAP3621, please make some amends
Unistalling apps with ADB
Thanks for this website and forum, it is greatly appreciated!
I have successfully rooted my nook color, added many apps and was able to communicate with my nook wirelessly via android SDK & ADB. But in my command window when I type in "adb unistall com.encore.crossword" or any other unistall, I get a return that looks like a repeat of the "adb help" screen and the app is not removed. But other commands are working (shell, ls data, reboot, version, etc...)
Can anyone out there help me resolve this?
Thanks, Roddy
problems trying "No router method", please help!
I'm trying to root my Nook using the "no routher method". Doing all right (I hope), I connect my nook to the new connectify-me wifi hotspot I've created, but... nothing more happens. I've unregistered and re-registered my nook several times, but my nook never tries to download an update. I've re-started my nook too, but nothing happens again.
My nook´s firmware: 1.4.3 serial number: 10048...
Can anybody help me? any advise will be much appreciated.
Thank you for give us this place, I enjoy it!
Android Market - can only see 10 titles
OK, So when I go to the Android Market on my rooted Nook it will only show me the first 10 titles of each search that I do. It tells me that there are many more results but I can't figure out a way to see more than 10. Is there a simple solution or do I need to change something on my Nook?
I am having the same issue, also I can only access the downloaded apps via the market.
How can I add then to be displayed on the extra screen? EDIT - This is no longer an issue, after I stopped and restarted the NC the showed up. Still limited to 10 items on the App Menu though.
You have to turn your nook on it side (horizontal view) and you will be able to scroll through all of the Android market results. I know it's weird but it works.
Apps to be installed to NookColor without rooting it

Problems with Nook App on rooted NC
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm kind of a techno-tard on these things. I rooted a NC with an Android 2.2 Froyo, no problems, went to the Nook app and was able to download my previous books I had on it. Here's the problem. The library shows my 24 books but does not have any artwork, will not allow me to download the books either. I get an error message saying either "No such file or directory" or "Unable to download at this time." I've removed the original Nook app and reloaded it from the Android Marketplace, continues to have the same problem. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Firmware update question
Have been using my rooted nook for two months now - I love it. It is running firmware 1.0.1 - I would like advice from you users who know more than me. What is the advantage of upgrading the firmware? I'm happy with the nook the way it is. What will happen if I upgrade the firmware?
I have had auto updates turned off since I have owned it by renaming otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak. A few days ago I changed that file back to otacerts.zip in hopes to get the firmware to update. I downloaded the sideload file and pasted it into the root directory of my nook but no update? Am I doing it wrong?
Soooooo..... Is the updated firmware worthwhile? If so, any advice on how I should try to get the update differently that I have already tried?
Thanks
Restoring to Stock = Version 1.0.1
I am in the process of restoring my NC (version 1.0.1) to stock, in preparation for updating to the newest version. I performed Step 1, but the NC didn't react the way your instructions indicate. I did notice the vector style Nook splash screen doesn't come up anymore on boot, but otherwise, it doesn't look or do anything differently. Can you confirm this? Can I press on with Step 2 without fear of bricking my NC?
Thanks!
Nook Color update to 1.2.0
All,
I have successfully rooted my Nook color on the older version, however I am concerned with the new nook version, 1.2.0. If my nook downloads this, will there be a problem with the rooting or vice versa?
Thanks Mike
Low level control of eInk screen in Android
Just got the Nook android emulator working in MacOSX. Got the minefield code samples from code.google.com... but wondering how actually android is controlling the eInk screen. We have some AM300's in the lab, but all the control is done directly with C/C++
I'm interested in seeing how android does it...
Thx!
in this explanation of how to put CM7 onto the Color nook what is 'dd'?
