Hi everyone!
I am very new to rooting and this website. I have rooted my NC using a You Tube Video to go by. I have rooted doing the CM7 and also rooted using just the autonooter.
I like the autonooter version best because I have access to the market, plus the orginial B and N sites. Now, comes the 1.3 update. I love People magazine, and as of now, everyone is saying that is the only way I can get it. Has anyone come up with how to use the autonooter with the 1.3 update??
Thanks!!
No one has any answers?

Um...not to be rude, but have you bothered to look much? There's a whole (active) thread right here on the general board about this, not to mention the updated manual nooter thread in the development board.
For your information I have "bothered to look" .. I had some other questions, but I will look for my answers elsewhere!......Not to be rude
I was able to root my wife's Nook Color 1.3 using Manualnooter 4.6.16. Look for the Manualnooter instructions in the Nook Color Android Development section. Since the Nook Color had never been rooted, I just burned a CWM image to an SD card and installed Manualnooter 4.6.16 per the instructions. I ran the Fix Permissions from ROM Manager as suggested. I did have some issues with the New Market not showing all the apps that will run on the Nook Color but there are suggested fixes shown in other posts.
It would be great is someone would post some information (directions) specific to rooting a stock 1.3 with a Manualnooter file with a fully working market but I have not see that.

If you had other questions, then ask them. The one you asked was answered without even needing to search.

The manual nooter instructions are pretty much as good as it gets. The market not fully working is more a function of the market than it is rooting the nook.

Thank you for your response! I appreciate it. Can your wife still download the People magazine??

The "Shopping" feature is working on her rooted 1.3 so I People Magazine should download just fine.
By the way, the repair to the Android Market for me involved the process where you force close the Market and clear cache, then force close Google Framework Services and clear data, then reboot. There are other tablets besides the Nook for which this process works. As a side note, the LCD density change and Market rollback did not work for me as it has for some of the CM7 users.
Let me know how things work out as I have a rooted 1.1 (B&N Updates are blocked) that I would like to get back to a stock 1.3 and then root. On my rooted 1.1 the "Shopping" feature is broken.
I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I followed the instructions on here for the manual nooter for the 1.3 update. I followed them " TO THE LETTER" ! and after a few min...and some nail biting (LOL) everything rebooted just fine! Now, it did say that my install had failed before it rebooted and I was still connected to my laptop.
At that point, I decided to just cut my losses, wipe and return to stock. but then it rebooted again, and this time I had the market and I could open my People magazine!!
So far I haven't had to do any "fixing" on it!
Hikersc.... I do recommend it!!

I am still have Market issues with the new Market not showing apps such as Facebook for Androind and Angry Birds (the original). I have tried several fixes but nothing is working. Does your market show these apps?

No, it doesn't show FB yet and I don't like Angry Birds so I've not installed that one. It is showing the other apps I have downloaded. If you would like I can try downloading Angry Birds just to see if it will show.
There is one problem I am having that I don't like. I don't have a back button, so I have to hit the U button at the bottom, the touch Zeam Launcher to go back to home screen and then start over. I may play around with it today, since it's raining!!

If FB is not showing in the Market then it is the same as mine (or my wife's). It is not a big deal as you can always sideload these type apps. Crazy Snowboard is one of my favorites and did not show on my 1.1 rooted so I had to sideload.
You need to use Soft Keys for your back button if no back button is showing (mostly B&N apps) at the bottom. Once you run soft keys, the little soft key icon will bring up a "soft key menu" that will home, menu, back, etc. Give it a shot and see if that works for you.

You won't believe what happened! I had been reading this morning, and turned it off afterwards. When I turned it back on, it stuck at the "Nook Color" set up menu. That's the first time I have ever had a root to go bad. I've had them to "not take before" but for something to happen like that?? So I had to unroot, set it back up from the beginning, and now have side loaded the 1.3 update. If I try the root again, I will do it just as the directions are typed!! (LOL)
Everything was working fine, I just don't know what happened??
Wish I knew what to tell you folks...I just went back and shut down my nook and restarted it. It always sorta seems like it takes an uncomfortably long time at the color flashing animation, but it went through just fine. What I did initially was exactly what I documented in my other thread...

I'm not sure. (LOL) I made a bootable CWM on an SD card. Then loaded the manual nooter on it.
I rooted it over again.. Putting it back to stock version, then side loading the 1.3 update, and then running the 4-5-18. and I ran the Fix Permissions.
What may be going on is I didn't load the 4-6-16a either time, and that may be the entire problem. If something happens to it this time, I'll just leave it at the 1.3 and wait until something else comes up.

If you are going back to stock, then simply apply the B&N 1.3 update like they say on their website (put it on the nook via usb, then unplug the cable, it will apply when it goes dark).
After it's done, don't bother with 4.5.18 - just go straight to 6.16. That's what I did and it should work fine. It seems that 5.18 is only necessary if you are going from rooted 1.2 to 1.3.
See how that works for you...

This is what I did except I used 4.6.16a (I also loaded a 1.3 kernal and ran the "Fix Permissions" from ROM Manager). All is well for me except the Market does not show FB and others. I was hoping a fix for the Market was forthcoming as the various fixes used with CM7 Market did nothing for me.

Just got my NC a few days ago, and decided to root. My software version is 1.0.0, and I was following the instructions on nookdevs.com. I downloaded the boot image to my sd card, put it in there and hooked it up to my computer. It was supposed to boot up, although with the screen not turning on. I was directed to wait five minutes and then power it off, remove the sd card, and then power it back up.
So I did that stuff. Now I just have a blank screen and no boot animations at all. I removed the sd card and tried to boot without it, and I got through the first screen which says something like "the future of reading", and then it just stays blank. My computer will recognize that there's a device hooked up to it, but i can't open it up to even put anything on it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
the 1.0.0 autonooter does not reboot on its own. I just waited a few minutes and took the sd card and rebooted and i saw the new animation on startup. Have you tried holding down the power button for several seconds to let is power down and then try to power up again?
Hopefully that worked... it says it's installing a "new software update". We'll see if this is it. Thanks for your help.
Okay, so it booted (with the droid boot screen), and it looks like it did before I did the autonooter. My understanding was that it was going to take me to a setup process kind of like the android phones. Am I missing something? Again, many thanks.

if you got a different boot screen, it probably worked. do you see the android market in your apps list?
That's just it... I don't have an apps list. It looks exactly like it did before I did all of this. It's very confusing.

That didn't help, either. It's the damnedest thing. I know it didn't have the droid boot screen before (where it says it's initializing), but it seems like that's the only thing that it changed.
I would try to update to 1.0.1, but the file from bn.com keeps showing corrupt when I download it. This blows.
Also, when I go to extras, I now have a Youtube icon, as well as a softkeys icon.
go here http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting and follow it step by step (except for the NC rebooting itself part). i'm not sure what to tell you. i do a lot of phone hacking on iphones and before that, WM phones, but this is my first adventure with an android device.

What did you use to root?
When the nc boots to what you say is the stock launcher, can you open extras and see if superuser is there? Some of the root older methods do not install a custom launcher.

I can't thank the guy enough. He made it infinitely easier to get the B&N update.
I've been waiting for this update as well as it fixes my Wifi sleep reboot issues. I can now actually listen to Pandora with the screen off. OMG!
Buying this device was like buying my G1. I was happy with the package that I received on purchase day, but as my happiness grew tired, new updates and fixes made it more enjoyable everyday. (There was no BT audio or virtual keyboard in Android 1.0)
sounds like it was a piece of cake to set up as well.
hopefully he sticks around as we need all the help we can get around here
thanks again!!
Same here. Flashed his update over my auto nootered 1.0.1 nook. And everything is exactly how it was. No issues with su root permissions or anything. And like first poster i don't have enough post to say thanks in the dev forum. So ill say it here.

Download ROM Manager from the Market. Launch it and at the top, there will be an option to install Clockwork. From ROM Manager, you can boot into recover (CWM). Cool?

Now I need to make some posts so I can actually thank the people in Devs!
Wow! Nice. I was worried if it will mess up my auto nootered 1.0.1. I am going to all his update zip via CWR.
And that was my 10th post. Yay!
I haven't seen an answer to this question. Hope it's OK to ask here.
I followed instructions to block the 1.1.0 OTA update by editing the build.prop file, and everything still works right on my auotnootered 1.0.1. Do I need to" unmodify" build.prop before using Decad3nce's pre-rooted 1.1.0 ROM?
Also I saw some weird behavior after installing Rom Manager and Titanium Backup: my NookColor Tools app stopped working, so I uninstalled both, and the tools app worked properly again. Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks in advance. Great forum - i'm getting a lot more enjoyment out of my rooted NC and I have all you experts to thank.

Am I the only one getting an B&N authorization problem. It gives me a message saying that there has been an authorization problem and must reset. Resets back into 1.01. Happens a few minutes after the reboot into 1.1 ROM.
Good thing I have backups, so that's not a problem. I guess I can wait for a new Auto-nooter. Anyone have ideas?

Problem with ADB
I was doing fine with the autonooter 1.01. Used Decadence's 1.10r2 and now can't install SlideIT and can't ADB into the nook.
I have double-checked that USB debugging is enabled.
I have reinstalled the ROM
I have taken off security, thinking that might have impacted it (didn't help)
I have tried using Astro and ES file managers to copy and paste SlideIT from the \sdcard\downloads to \system\apps\ --that didn't work because \system\apps is read only.
Slide it is in my app drawer, but doesn't show up in my list of available keyboards.
Similar problem with SwiftKey. and KeyPurr. With Slide It, I've tried to install the market trial app, and I've also gone the the developers website and downloaded the 15 day trial which (I believe) is the full app only good for 15 days.
Titanium, superuser, and softkeys are working.
Since I can't access the nook with ADB (btw, I'm using Linux), I'm thinking it's a permissions problem in the ROM.
Any suggestions?
I am also a happy customer. Was running 1.0.1 and installed Decad3nce's 1.1.0 R2 and every thing worked great except Wifi reconnecting after sleep.
I just installed update 1.1, then tried to use autonooter, I didn't actually get anywhere using autonooter(The nook wouldn't even turn on?), so I took the SD card out, now I'm stuck at the screen where it shows the nook N, and "contains reader mobile technology by Adobe Systems Inc." at the bottom..
Any help?:/
8 times reboot? CWR for restoring the stock rom? CWR for flashing froyo? There are many options. I did all of them before for fun.

Here's a couple options for ya'.
Nook Color Restore to stock
Flash back to clean stock ROM
On the plus side, it's almost impossible to brick a nook color, so one of these should work for ya'. Best of luck to you, mate.

Okay, I got it to boot up again with the 8times reset, and did the power+n.
But for some reason, now it won't let me re-register it? I get an error, and it tells me to reboot.
Anyway, can anyone tell me how to update to 1.01? The B&N site only has a download for update 1.1... I think that's where I went wrong.
Thanks a lot, guys

Go ahead and boot it up, then go in to Settings -> Device Info -> Erase & Deregister Device. Let it do it's thing, and after the reboot, you should be at 1.0.0. Go and head and register your device now. =)
After you're all re-registered, head over to here, download the update, then just skip down to "Installing the update" since you'll already be on stock.
Enjoy! =)

Thank you very much, trying it right now!
I love how helpful the community is. I really want to use autonooter to get android on my nook. I just hate that there wasn't really clear instructions written for people who are noobs at this.
I have another question, if I'm just going to use it as a tablet, do I need to register it with B&N before I use autonooter? I don't plan on using it to actually buy any B&N books, and I'm having trouble regestering it.
Glad to help, bud. =)
If you plan on doing some really advanced stuff like moving Nookie Froyo to take the place of the stock ROM on the eMMC, you really don't need to register. However, if you plan on just using ROMs off the sdcard and keeping the stock ROM on the nook itself (like I do), you probably still want to go ahead and re-register just in case. But, if you just can't get the little fekker to register, don't worry about it. It won't hurt anything.
I suggest you to try out froyo on SD card first see if you like it. When you have time, do read about the cwr in the development forum. It is very easy to flash different rom to NC by using cwr.

Please excuse my ignorance. I followed a youtube tutorial and was able to root my Nook to Honeycomb. But now, i have no ebook reader and when i try to download one from the android market or it doesn't install. I successfully downloaded the kindle app from the amazon store but once it loads, it crashes sometimes just on launch and sometimes when clicking the free books the the kindle app came with.
Another issue im having is I have no clue how to access files on my SD card. Even if i connect my nook to the comp, it recognizes that a hard drive was connected but it doesn't mount so i can transfer files to and from it. Sorry for the noob questions.
Not sure if this helps but in "About Phone" the Kernal Version is 2.6.29-omap1. Build number is sdk-eng Honeycomb Nook eng.rbrune.20110131.162619 test keys
Thanks
Honeycomb port is just really in its infant stage right now, I would suggest you going to CM7 and familiarize yourself with all the settings before jumping to HC.

I am thinking you are having some terminology confusing. Putting on the Honeycomb build is not rooting; it is flashing a rom. You can root your factory OS, which will let you add things like the android Market and such. Since you are already at the point where you can flash a new ROM, you can just flash the CM7 build just like you did the Honeycomb build.
I agree with everyone. Flash to CM7. I tried Honeycomb but didn't like it. I had the same problem with apps not installing. For me, I had to turn the NC off after a download and back on to see the apps installed. CM7 is running awesome on my NC. I have both Kindle and NC ereader apps running without issues.

You're right. I have all the terminology screwed up. Its my first time doing anything like this and to top that, I've never even owned an android phone. Anyway, Gonna attempt to go to CM7. Is it the same process? just put the CM7 zip file on the sd card that i just imaged? Would you be so kind to post a link with the latest file? If not, I will search and hope I get the latest. Thanks for your replies. I appreciate it.

Yes.. just download the CM7 from cyanogens website. Click the Nook Color under "All Supported Devices". Get the latest stable one.. 7.0.3. Try the nightlies out when you get bored of a functional new device.
Click the thank button on the posts for people who helped you.

Cool. So I downloaded and installed CM7. Looks like it loaded nicely but then i keep getting this popup "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" Any suggestions? Thanks!
EDIT: BTW, did I have to reformat before installing CM7? I just installed it right over HC and the few apps I had downloaded before were still on the NC plus my wireless settings were still there and everything.
Ok. I was too desperate. So I went ahead and reformated then reinstalled CM7. Everything is working nice and smooth. My only issue now is I don't have the android appstore to download apps. None of the google apps are installed either. I can't even get the amazon app store cause it wants to send me an sms with the download. Thanks again for the help guys!

Since I'm on my nook on the xda app I don't have a link handy, but you need to flash a file called gapps (Google apps) after a normal cm7 install. You should be able to find the file linked here our in the cyanogenmod.com site.
After that, it should prompt you to set up all of your normal google accounts.

Yup. I downloaded the gapps-ga-20110307-signed zip file and what i'm not sure of is if I installed it right but here's what i did. This is what i did 5. 'install zip from sdcard' --> 'choose zip from sdcard' --> select "gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip. I followed these instructions from another post. Anyway, it stated that it was installed successfully but i got nothing. No gmail or anything. Its as if i didnt install anything at all. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Do you have wifi turned on? I believe that you need to turn on the wifi to get the market app to show up.
Yes...I have the wifi on. weird. Any other suggestions? Thanks
Phiremod comes with google apps, might be easier to install. Wipe system, cache, data, and dalvik to be safe. https://phiremod.wordpress.com/nook-color/ or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954902 It is CM7 with some custom themes and extra apps.

OK....Im gonna give this one last try when I get home tonight. If this doesn't work, I think i'm just gonna give up and restore it back to Nooks factory default. I got this for my wife and she loved the way the Nook displayed the books much better than the 3rd party apps I found on amazon store. Sucks cause I know the Android store has the Nook app but I can't get to it and for some reason, I can't download it from the Barnes & Noble site. Oh well. Thanks for your help.
Stevemp....worked like a charm. Couldn't get the nook app to work properly so i just bought moon reader and its perfect. My only issue now is that when I connect my nook to my pc via usb, the pc doesn't recognize it. I thought I bookmarked some instructions a some thinks i needed to download onto my pc and what not but I can't find it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Windows only sees the first partion on the sdcard. I use Samba File Sharing from the Market to transfer files. It's wireless and easy to use. Go into settings and set your password and you should be good to go.

When you connect the NC via USB, do you see a USB symbol in the notification bar? If so, pull it down & you can enable USB connection to the PC. Be sure to eject when finished.

I used the method outlined in this post to get the Market and Apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
I noticed that some people had difficulty booting into Recovery Mode while installing the Apps package. I did too, so what I did was just continued to hold down the 'n' throughout the entire startup, rather than releasing it, and then gapps installed fine
I now find that I hardly boot to the NC OS any longer to use it, I just run the CyanogenMod almost all the time.
I have or at least had a rooted nook color. I was on 1.4.2 firmware, but last night my nook auto updated to 1.4.3 firmware. I had never installed the app to access the hidden settings and now I am paying for it.
If I turn off my nook or reset it then for about 30 sec. I am able to look at my android apps. It looks like a rooted nook, but then it will go back to the unrooted version. It is strange that it does this and I am hoping that since it boots up as the rooted nook did then I am hoping there is an easy fix.
I am currently unable to access the android market though when it boots up. I try to go to the play store and it says I don't have an account, would I like to add one. When I say yes it won't go let me. If I say no it does the same thing. How do I access the hidden settings now or is there a way to root 1.4.3 firmware?
I am really stressed and aggravated with myself and the situation at hand. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.
You can follow the guide up in this forum here to revert your stock nook ROM back to the original stock firmware that came with your nook color. In the first box there is other links you can follow out for guides and downloads you will need to put on your SD card to do so. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699

There are others here that were able to re-root after the 1.4.3 autoupdate. Just search a few posts back.

I had the exact same thing happen to me. I have two Nook Colors that I had updated to 1.4.2 before rooting. I rooted them a few weeks ago and one of them auto-updated to 1.4.3 before the other. I just rerooted the one that had updated and it works fine. I didn't have to revert back to stock first. When the second one updated to 1.4.3 I did the same process and that one works fine too.
I followed the steps in the [NC][1.4.1][1.4.2] ManualNooter 5.02.19 thread that I used to root them in the first place.
Well I tried to re-root my nook and everything went fine until i rebooted the nook. It is stuck replaying the cracked nook screen over and over again, and won't let me access any other screen or menu. How do I fix this?

You may want to root your NC again. Make sure you are using 5.2.19.
Check the OP in the MN 5.2.19 thread here.
First I want to thank everyone for all the help and advice they have given me so far, but I am still having problems. I have rerooted my nook. I also tried the partition repair zips on my nook and they seemed to have did something, but now my touch screen isn't working. When my nook rebooted it went to the barnes and noble set up video and I was unable to watch it or skip the video. Not sure how to turn the touch screen off or how I even disabled it.
Thanks again in advance for any help. I feel less hopeless now about getting my nook back to the rooted version I have come to love.

I followed this guide and got my nook to reroot. Now I am trying to figure out how to access the hidden settings to stop the nook from updating. Any ideas? Thanks a ton.
