[Q] NC 1.1.0 Rooted -- B&N In store features?

So a co-worker of mine has his up on this and is able to get into the free B&N in store features while I have the same setup as he does but yet cannot see these features. Id really love to be able to use the "Read for free for an hour" feature.
Any ideas on what i can check?
Thanks,

there are a couple of different ways to root on 1.1. did you both use the same method of rooting?

I really want to figure this out as well..I'm on the verge of rooting. I want to know which of the following methods will result in BN in-store features being accessible:
1. Root from 1.0.1 using either:
a. Barebones Nooter
b. Autonooter
And then upgrade via CWM recovery to the stock rooted 1.1 rom....
OR
2. Root via Autonooter 3.0.0 from stock 1.1.
The problem with method 2 is that it is supposedly resulting in a reboot loop if clockworkmod is installed. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Installed factory 1.0.1.
Autonootered
Installed the prerooted 1.1.0
The OP (and I)did the following and b&n in store does not work...
Installed factory 1.0.1
Sideloaded factory 1.1 update.
Autonooter 3.0

Aha! We have some info here. I just rooted mine with Autonooter but also flashed the prenooted 1.1.0 via Clockwork. In the other thread relating to this issue, another user suggested that this allowed him to have in-store access.
The catch here is that flashing CWR with autonooter 3.0 puts the device into a bootloop with CWR. I used the CWR remover tool to get rid of that.
After work in about 2 hours or so, I'll try to stop by a local BN and see if I have the in-store features.
UPDATE: I tested this out and it worked. Looks the prerooted 1.1 is doing something right.

Or autonooter is doing something wrong.
Maybe autonooter caused all the in store access issues in the first place.
Everyone thought b&n 1.1 fixed it, but maybe since no one was autonootering 1.1 until recently, autonooter didn't have a chance to break it.
Looks like whatever autonooter does, the preroot 1.1 fixes.

Not necessarily. There is another thread in here, but I have 1.1v2 and no instore features.
-1.0
-sideloaded 1.0.1
-Nooter v2
-then autonooter
-then flashed 1.1 v2
Leko

I have v2 and no in store either.

Bought stock 1.0
updated to 1.01
autonootered
prerooted 1.1r2
cwr to 1.1 ghz rom
Went to B&N today and no in-store special access to B&N features.

Did you guys without in store features after rooting, use the in store features before rooting?
What worked for me, before updating a clean 1.0.1 to 1.1, I used the in store features, then sideloaded 1.1 then used autonooter 3.0. I tried in store features afterwards and it works for me.

I restored my NC to stock 1.0.1. Sideloaded 1.1.0. Prepped Auto-Nooter 3.0 on a microSD and then I went to a physical BN store. Had in-store features with my 1.1.0 unrooted and downloaded a book to read. Then I used my microSD with Auto-Nooter to root my 1.1.0 NC in the BN store (lol). After rooting, I had Market, Youtube, etc... but lost in-store.

My NC came with 1.0.1, I sideloaded 1.1 and rooted with Autonooter 3. Today, I finally had a chance to go to a B&N store to test the "in store" function. NC connected to store WiFi immediately and a popup message told me that I could read certain books for up to 1 hour in the store and provided a link to those books. Then, "shop" interface opened showing many books and an "in store" banner at the corners of them. Under the "price" button, there was another one that said "read in store". So far, everything was fine and I was getting ready to read it... When I tapped on the read in store button, another window showed up with a progress bar, a cancel button and a continue button; however, the bar never progressed and the continue button was grayed out (the only available button was "cancel" which took me back to the store). I tried this with 8-10 books, but the results were the same. I guess it is safe to assume that I dont have the in store functions any more

[Q] Newbie Question - Root Nook with Default 1.0.1 or 1.1.0?

yeah im lost right now regarding nook, just got it yesterday, my version is 1.0.1
1) Do I upgrade to 1.1.0? And then use Auto-Nooter.
2) Or is 1.1.0 to new right now and just root 1.0.1 and then Auto-Nooter.
This is the link I'm going to follow unless someone has better suggestion/input.

Thanks

i'm actually wondering the same thing.

You can root any of the three versions. Just decision which and there are ways to do it. I'd recommended the monster root pack or autonooter. Both work well.
Sent from my nootered Nook Color.

So I guess my question is which is more stable/functional.
Do I just root at firmware 1.0.1? Is that the best option.
Or is there any advantage of upgrading to 1.1.0 and then rooting?

I am a newb too, I just downloaded the Auto-nooter-3.0.0.zip found elsewhere on this site. It roots 1.1.0 and I have to say it was as easy as anyone could ask for. I'd recommend just go ahead and update to 1.1.0 and then use this to auto-nooter your nook. Works like a charm. I should add that in previous versions ai have had issues getting set up with gmail and youtube, gmail worked but youtube always got borked for some reason... on this one, both are working fine, I have downloaded 2 apps already.

Which site did you use to download and follow instructions? can you post the link
thanks

Thanks for the help, so I got the process done at 1.1.0
My questions are:
1. When I install apps on the Market, I can open the app through the Download folder, but how do I get the icon on the Extras section?
2. What is the best method to configure the Soft Keys, any recommendations.
Thanks

Unfortunately I'm still too new to this site to post links, but if you go poke around in the nook color portal on nookdevs.com there are some great tips/instructions for configuring the softkeys software. I will say that I've found using a stand alone launcher (I use ADW EX) with softkeys is a great experience, and probably the most functional/useful.

Just restart system and all installed apps will show up in Extras... Have to do it everytime you install new apps

[Q] Problems with Market

I have a nook that I rooted with autonooter 3.0. It has been running great with no problems but the last two days I keep getting the download unsuccessful in market app. My question is should I flash it and go back to the original, update with barnes and nobel 1.2 update and then root it again? I have looked on forums for fixes for the market but cannot seem to find what they are talking about. I am new to all of this so am not sure what I should think about doing....Any help would be great!

Could you tell me if you can go to the B&N shop and purchase/download a free book like you normally can? I have a hunch that the device in some form or another is deregistering itself, and clearing some of the system file information. A number of people have started experiencing this problem, and I believe that it did not start until the B&N update came out.

reply
Yes I can go into B&N and download a book and late last night I was able to download Rom manager from the market...Not really sure what to do with that now that I got it...but was able to download it. Still cannot get the Root explorer that I paid for...

No Market Functionality with 1.3 & MN 4.6.16 - Please Help!

After the original 1.3 update broke the root, I re-flashed 4.6.16 and all was well, I downloaded & installed from market and everything was just fine....until recently.
I am still using my 3 installed apps without issue (overdrive, kobo & kindle), but I am unable to download new apps or updates. The download seems to happen, but I get an "!" in the notification area telling me that the app/update was not downloaded.
Last night, I used settings to clear market data, I uninstalled the market update (rolled from 3.0.27 back to 2.3.*) and re-booted, and still no luck. Then I tried a full restore from Titanium backup of all settings/app data from when it was successfully re-rooted with market working, re-booted and still nothing.
Could I flash 4.5.25 over what I have? Then re-flash 4.6.16, would that fix things? Does anyone else have this problem?
I searched the threads but no one else seems to have lost all market functionality.
Any help is greatly appreciated - I need to update some apps and I would like to add some more. Now it's just a reader and....a reader. I would hate to wipe it and set it up all over again.
Thanks!

I Gave Up....
....Restored 1.2, Flashed 4.6.16 and market is back and operational. I deleted the pre-installed flash 10.* using TB, then downloaded flash 11 from the market.
I then changed "auto" to "manual" to block the ota 1.3 update which I assume is inevitable. I followed the instructions found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946969
All seems well -- but that last thread is kind of old, I am hopeful nonetheless.
Does anyone know if my problems are solved? I did not reboot for fear of the boot loop.
I don't care about whatever B&N 1.3 does, 1.2 with full market is much happier for me.

Market issue

I have 2 nooks, a nook color and a touch which both started having issues with the market sunday. Both worked Saturday and as far as I know there was no update. The color gives a server error and won't even connect. The touch is unable to download anything. This appears to only affect the market app. I can connect directly with a browser. Both have cm7. Anyone have any thoughts?
Tried restoring market & data.

Have same issue on my Nook color yesterday.. WIFI is on, able to browse through browser, but when was trying to connect to marked it says "No Connection" RETRY. Are you able to resolve it?

Hey, y'all! I'm getting the same problem too, I just loaded CM7 to my NC and the market won't function. I even installed the Play Store from an apk and all that shows up is "Server Error" and a retry button. And, retrying gives the same screen. Help would be very much appreciated!

Has anyone been able to get the Market Place or Play Store to work properly? I've tried deleting the data and the cache for the new Play Store. I've gone back to an older verision of the Market Place...and I get the same "No Connection" Retry error.
I get into the Market and can look around without any problems. But when I try to access my apps, it fails. I'm not able to update any of my apps.

I have no problem with play store today and yesterday. I am running CM7 on uSD from dual CM7/CM9 image with 0305 update.

I resolved the market issue by restoring the last backup. I am not sure what happened but it looks like I lost a few things somewhere. I am having no problems with the new market either, and it also works with ics (on sd) for me.

I'm not sure the issue is the market app. 1.1 was an old version of android (eclair) and the mbs app may need froyo or higher before the market will allow it to be shown as available.
I recommend that you update your B&N software to the latest version (1.4.3) and root it again. Use Manual Nooter 5.08.20 to root it. It will then have the latest market (play store) and be updated to froyo. Look at my tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A15 to get the update. You can always make a nandroid backup of your system with CWM as it is now and if you don't like the new version, just restore your backup to return to rooted 1.1.
PS, the reviews that I saw for that app are terrible. You might want to check that out before making any changes.
EDIT: GMPOWER says it needs gingerbread so updating to 1.4.3 will not help. It is froyo and is one level down from gingerbread. I now recommend putting CM7 on an SD install. To do that, follow Taosaur's blog here:

The app specifically says that it requires android version 2.3 (Gingerbread) and up. You will need to install CM7 over the stock firmware, or on the SD card, all of that information should be covered in "leapinlar's" tips page.
