I am rooted via autonooter and firmware is 1.0.1. I don't have the option of installing to SD or transferring apps to SD. the option simply isn't given in the application manager settings. is this option not installed via autonooter? is there a workaround? if I reset and bump up to 1.1.0 and root again is it likely to make a difference? what version of android is actually installed in the autonooter 2.12.25?
should I be able to install and tranfer apps to SD once rooted with autonooter 2.12.25?
sorry if this question is recycled. I cannot find a similar question or problem on this forum.
I have a rooted nook with the stock firmware running off internal storage and CM7 running off my memory card. Today I went to try and install the 1.2 update and was unable to do so using the instructions from the B&N website. The NC would try to load the update and then I would be greeted with a sad Android logo.
I was eventually able to load the 1.2 update and here is how I did it.
1. Make sure you back everything up. I researched this solution for me and it worked for me. I did not create these files so dont get mad at ME if they dont work for YOU.
2. Use this file to remove CW recovery from your device. http://www.etoile-laconnex.com/CWR-removal-rootsafe.zip
you will need to use CW recovery to flash that zip file.
3. After you run the zip file. POWER OFF.
4. POWER ON with the SD card slot empty.
5. Since I had the stock FW on my internal memory I was able to boot to that. Once booted I dropped the 1.2 update zip on the root of the internal memory. Once the file was on the NC i removed the USB cable and then hit the lock button. I waited about 2 minutes and the nook rebooted and installed the update.
6. I was then able to reboot to my SDcard and then reinstall CW recovery.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I hope this works for more people than just me.
Do I need to un-root my device before putting the 1.2 update zip file in NookColor's root directory?
I have put the zip file on the NookColor drive as instructed by BN. Then I waited for two minutes. My NookColor reboots itself to the Android screen. The 1.2 update zip file is gone, but the update is not applied.
Any idea on installing the 1.2 update on a rooted NookColor?
I downloaded zip file and place it to the sdcard. Is this rite?
Place the downloaded zip file onto the main nook color drive.
Don't know what I did but finally worked.

I had a nootered 1.0.1 NC and ran into the same issue, both when I tried to install the 1.1 update (gave up on it eventually) and this one. Finally I threw in the hat, backed up all my apps with appmonster, -though I hate how the recent update backs up the apps as #ed .apk's buried under two folders rather than the old appname.apk all in the backup folder. Made it easier to share b/w diff devices- did the 8 boot interrupts reset, copied the update file to the root directory of the NC (not sdcard) and Bob's your uncle, updated NC. Though truth be told I now wish I hadn't jumped the gun with it. I miss the crapload of great apps I had available (3 different Angry Birds...who wouldn't miss that? Who cares if it's essentially the same thing every time) and watching the nightly news on a 7 inch screen on the long BART ride home. Counting the hours 'til I stumble across the next auto nooter. Tick tock tick tock....
This may help angry birds
Potential fix for Angry Bird install after manual nooter
A lot of people are saying that you can't install angry birds with the SD card installed. This sounds like the problem that I had with my Droid X. To fix it I had to delete the file left from the prior install under .android secure on the SD card. I guess that Froyo sometimes has issues with this file getting corrupt on the micro SD and then it can't install correctly during updates and reinstalls. I think you lose all previous data but at least you have it working normally now with the SD card installed. I'll try it on my nook and post back. I would have put this in the manual nooter thread but I don't have enough posts to post there.
I have un-rooted and flashed back to 1.0.1 and the NC is not picking up the update from the root of my sdcard, it's been 12 hours. Any info?
For the 1.1.0 update you had to place the update file in the root directory of the Nook Color's onboard memory, not the SD card. Though I haven't looked into the 1.2 update yet, I suspect that is teh case also for 1.2 and that's the source of your problem.
Make sure you don't unzip it and you put it on the main directory of the Nook itself, not the sdcard.
You need to move the update file to internal memory
Do you need to unroot and go back to stock to manually update?

Duh! It worked! Off to re-root, it's been 12 hours unrooted and I can't stand it.
Is there a flashable file for the nook color to root it. Not like a froyo or cm7. Just the basic root from nookdevs?
First make sure you update your NC to 1.2 then do a search for manual nooter. I would suggest reading most if not the whole thread. Some people had some strange results. I was lucky and had no problems.
Just read the procedure a couple times.

I am kind of a newbie. I had my nc rooted with autonooter 3.0, and wanted to try 1.2, so I restored it. Now I would like to try to root it with MN, but when I try to root it, the zip does not create an .img file that I can write to a uSD card, and the zip file does nothing when I load it to the uSD card and reboot the NC.
So, what am I doing wrong, or is there going to be an autonooter 4.0 soon that I can use?
Thanks.
The zip file for MN is only the rooting piece, not the disk image of a bootable CWR disk.
You need to find that bootable disk image, write that to an SD card, then drop the MN zip file onto that SD card.
Unmount it, put it in your NC and boot up. You should be in CWR at this point, and can now install the MN.zip zipfile.
Thank you, I found it, and have it rooted. I will enjoy it a lot.
Hey guys, I have an NC with CM7 rooted on the internal memory. I have installed and booted to Honeycomb on the SD card. I'm not sure how to root the OS on the SD card? Any help would be appreciated.
PS
This is a great forum!
Hi, maybe this'll help - I'm running a similar setup on mines and was searching for some stuff earlier. NC with Phiremod test 7 w/ oc kernel and HC 3.0 preview on my SD rooted.
From what I remember: Basically, you get the modified versions of su and Superuser.apk for the Nook/HC and push them through adb via USB onto your Nook.
theres a thread somewhere with more info but thats roughly it. Then you cat the su/superuser.apk to the system/bin and system/app folders. also link it to system/xbin folder iirc and chmod 06755 to bin/su. Little digging should get you the rest of the info.
