Manual Nootered 4.6.16 using latest dalingrin oc kernel...
Purchased Kids Read and Play books crash on opening. I get an "opening book" message then crash back to nook app. Any work arounds for this? Didn't know where to start trouble shooting... Does it need the stock Flash player? Are OC settings making it wonkey?
Also after it crashes the kids read and play book becomes archived and must be re-downloaded.
Thought I'd answer my own question in case anyone searches for a similar problem...
It seems to have something to do with Adobe Air and/or Flash. Reverting to the stock versions of both these services partially solved the problem. Re-flashing to stock 1.2 and re-Manual-Nootering solved it completely; with the caveat that using Titanium Backup to restore any data to Adobe Flash/Air breaks it again.
So anyway, if anyone plans to use the "I think proprietary" format B&N children's Play and Read books from the "Shop" app do not update either Flash or Air from the market. Leave them alone!

i am new to nook color...so i did a lot of reading on this forum...i want to root nc 1.1..which is the best method for rooting nc 1.1
from whatever i have read there is two method one is auto nooter 3 and other is the pre rooted decadence rom..which one should i use..i m tilting more towards pre rooted decedence rom using monster pack .7 .
i also wanted to know if we can root 1.1 using monster pack .7 . it mentions that it is 1.1 compatible but it seems no one has tested it. i m noob to this forum and nc ..so i m sorry if i have offended some one with the above newbie questions..
I just went from ROM 1.1 stock to 1.1 rooted with Monster Pack .7. Works like a charm. Thanks IOMonster!
I just used it on a stock 1.1 Nook Color and it worked great, also installed Gapps just fine and logged into my google account fine. Everything is working on my Nook except the B&N 'Shop' from the main B&N home menu. It starts to load then goes black and nothing is there.
fpga_guy is also having the same problem...is the problem related to monster pack 7 or its a general problem???

I'm not sure, lotta stuff to read on this forum. But I ended up just putting it back to a stock 1.0.1 Nook like it was when I bought it. So it's all back to normal now. It might have something to do with B&N registration, although mine was registered before I rooted and flashed, which is how it's supposed be.
Your registration with B&N may have gotten stale. You can post in the Monster Root Pack thread in devl forum and see what folks are saying.

I rooted with MRP, and also had the broken shop issue. As an experiment, last night I rerooted with autonooter - directly over the already done root, no format, no wipe. (I have a backup in case doing this is dumb, natch.)
Now the shop works.
However, the original MRP device supported the Nook standalone app and the autonooted device (this one, and one which was only autonooted, never MRP'ed) do not support the Nook standalone app.
I strongly prefer the real app. The night mode is actually black, not grey, it more consistently remembers where I left off reading, and deleting a book from the bloody library actually works in the real app. It does not work in the stock library app, and the library app frequently forgets where I was reading when I get back into it.
I'll probably restore from backup this evening - there's too much very good stuff in the real nook app to give up. It is very difficult to get the shop to let you search in that app, but recalibrating the touchscreen makes it more likely that you'll be able to. Since search on the device is so weak in the shop, I'm ready to give it up for the better night mode, the better remembering where I left off, and the vastly better file curation.

I used MRP because I couldn't get autonooter to work, and so I'm in the no-shop state. I can download free apps (angry birds, of course), although I haven't tried to buy any.
Also, gmail has trouble with my email; I get lots of instances when it goes back to the index after displaying a message for a little while, and for some messages this happens before displaying anything. Is this a FC?
Softkeys also seems to be in a somewhat confused state; I don't quite understand what it's trying to do (well, I know it's creating onscreen buttons or remapping vol+- to replace the hard buttons on most phones, but that's my limit). I often get a popup saying that it couldn't do the task as su; is there some softkeys or su doc I haven't found yet?
However, I'm confused. The autonooter image only contains /boot; where does everything else come from? Does it download everything else from the PC, and that's why you have to plug into a PC?
Hmm.. I don't have SDK/ADK installed (and so no adb), is this why autonooter failed for me?
Please bear with me, I'm a long-time command-line unix/linux user, new to android. I've been using the MRP SD card to install zips, so if there's a flashable zip that fixes this, or an image that I can raid (sudo mount -o loop ...), I'm all set. If it's an adb hack, I'm out of luck for a while.
OK, I'll stop typing now...
Thanks!

Softkeys is much better now; I like it a lot more. I managed to get it to pop up a root attempt and allowed it, so it works.
Still no joy on the shop front; the non-gmail email app might be better, at least for me, but I do wish that it had collapsible folders. My folder tree is > 20 years old and rather, umm, organic.
Cheers!

I realized last night that whenever I try to visit an https: website (gmail, google/contacts, www.401k.com) the browser FCs on me.
Oddly enough, accessing gmail works just fine, so security bits appear to be different and only one of them is broken.
Does this happen to others?

Autonooter 3.0 is great. It produces a Nook Color with full B&N functionality (the stock reader, including magazines and read-to-me kids books, the in-store browsing) that you can also install apps from the Android Market (and Amazon app store) on.
For me, right now, this is "good enough." When B&N releases its update, I'm going to wait for a pre-rooted package here before upgrading.
The reason I probably won't do anything crazy (like go full CM7) is that I'll probably buy a purpose built Honeycomb tablet for that once the market matures and prices come down.

I was in the same state. Following a suggestion from another thread <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005975>, I applied autonooter-3.0.0 to my MRP'd NC 1.1.0, and all is well! AFAICT, you can ignore the instructions for after the reboot, it didn't act like a fresh NC at all.
BTW, not only did the shop FC, the browser couldn't load any https: pages, either. Are you in this situation?
Good luck!

Running Nookie Froyo v0.6.7 on SD w/2.6.29-omap1 kernel (overclocked to 1ghz) basically flawlessly.
One annoying thing: Can't search the nook shop for books. No matter what I search for I get the same "No Search Results Found"? B&N's suggestions and categories show up, side loading into library works and can read samples.
Any ideas?
Working: gapps / market / tweetdeck and other stuffs with geolocate. Amazon kindle app search works w/o issue. Tried purge and reinstall, with no luck.
Belongs to wife - she wants to buy books - any help would be *greatly* appreciated!
I get the same error running phiremod
Same Here
I am running Nookie 0.6.8 and I am getting the same error??? hopefully someone will have an idea?
Is it still not working? I know that B&N has been doing maintanence/upgrades to their servers which means at times the online bookstore is down. That usually happens late at night and in the morning it is fixed. Have you tried again today or do you think it is part of the ROM?
I am new to this, with a B&N Nook HD+ tablet.
Let me just say, this is a terrific place with lots of knowledgeable people in Android and Nook.
I rooted my tablet, and love how it all works.
There is one nagging issue I have. It seems that B&N appeared to install 2 apps that I keep deleting, but they keep re-appearing.
Spotify and Crosswords.
I do not want these apps and wish they would stop installing themselves.
I used SQLite to set in the databases, install foreign apps, and also the other setting to not over the air, install Nook updates.
I tried to find a setting in the various databases to tell the Nook to stop installing these free apps, but cannot find it.
Does anyone know how to stop the Nook from installing these free apps?
I suspect at some point BN might install some free app automatically that might attempt to unroot this device.
Thanks,
Rob

Get the free Gemini Application Manager on Play Store and block the apps. It adds them to a database that says to ignore them. But that won't help with new apps.
Edit: Gemini gave the warning that ics might be able to override this setting. It did. The app came back. And I did what you did and could find no databases to stop it.

Been meaning to track this down for years and finally got around to doing it. The sneaky app that's doing the reinstalls is com.bn.bnappinstaller
Use your app of choice to freeze this (on the off chance you want to have this bloatware factory run again in the future)
That's it, you can uninstall with wild abandon and they will never come back

I was relieved to find this because my husband's HD is "running in the red" because of apps like Spotify, Hulu+, etc., which come unbidden "from the cloud". He'd like to have room for apps of his own choosing (not to mention space for the OS to do its thing...).
But....I tried this and it didn't work. They are back again
My rooted nook, 2.06, keeps overwriting apps I update. Specifically apps that came installed with the nook, like Spotify, Facebook, Pandora, Crosswords, Twitter. I update them to the latest version, then a day later, i get a notice from 1MobileStore that they need to be updated.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling from the Play Store, but same thing, day later, get an update notice. The updates always work, but at some point revert to the Nook version.
Any insights?
Yes, that is B&N detecting you don't have the version that they gave you and reinstalling. Even if you uninstall, they get re-downloaded and installed by B&N. I don't know what the solution is.

What a pain! I have a daily install (or more) for Twitter. I used Google Play and attempted to update Twitter, but I was warned that it would uninstall the Twitter that came pre-loaded.
So I canceled. I didn't install from Google Play.
Every day, at least once it tries to install. Sometimes I catch the Toast and get to the Google Play page for Twitter and uninstall.
It doesn't matter. It comes back in a few hours or the next day. Google Play reverts to the page with Uninstall button automatically.
There must be a file stuffed in a folder somewhere to install Twitter. Is there a standard folder for installs?
Hello all,
From the recent access to the google play store from the nook hd+ and the deep discounts, I decided to get the nook hd+.
Indeed, it is a great device, and the addition of google play makes it so much more powerful.
Thanks to leapinrar's rooting and extras file, I can also download all sorts of awesome apps for it. I went ahead and downloaded the universal root kit as well as the extras kit that allowed apps of unknown sources to be downloaded to it.
However, there are a couple issues happening:
1. This happens intermittenly- Every once in a while, the nook hd+ completely resets itself for no particular reason. Sometimes it happened every ten minutes, yet it didn't happen at all yesterday. I am not sure what is going on.
2. This happens all the time- Every time I open the library menu, it crashes, saying "unfortunately, library has stopped."
I didn't have neither of these problems before getting it rooted. Can anybody point me to the right direction in solving this problem?
BTW, I put the post in this section, because they didn't allow me to post at the nook hd+ specific forums. Please redirect post to appropriate place if necessary.
Thanks in advance for all of the help!
This is the right forum to post that question.
Try flashing the disable root zip so that just the extras is active. It is best not to root unless you really need it. If it still acts up, go to the stock CWM and wipe data/factory reset. That means you will have to log in again both with B&N and Google. But it may get rid of your issue. Then flash just the extras zip this time. Downloading all those awesome apps may have added one that is causing the problem. So be judicious about what you add back.

thanks leapinrar! I will try your solution and let you know with the results ASAP.
After reflashing back to CWM, these issues indeed disappeared. Adding extras and root functionality (I have a couple apps that require rooting) did not require in crashes, so just like you said, I think the issues stemmed from one of my apps. Thanks again for your help.
Also, I am in the hunt of a smooth good app that can take notes as well as annotate pdfs (there is an equivalent called "upad" in the iOS). I will be opening a new thread to ask about this, but I wanted to inquire you (or to anybody else that views this post).
Thanks again.
