Can somebody get a md5sum for the touchnooter.zip? My internet isn't downloading the file very well and I want to make sure I have a good copy before I go putting this in my nook.
[N2E][1.1] TouchNooter 2.1.31
- Thread starter GabrialDestruir
- Start date
Allrighty, got it all sorted out last night. Wiped user data with the left/right bottom button command, then triggered recovery mode with failed poweron trick, and then upgraded to 1.1, rooted, and running fine.
I actually prefer this to my rooted Kindle Fire atm...
$ md5sum touchnooter-2-1-31.zip

You can set it ONE way, but not toggle between them. That is why you (probably) want softkeys, virtual button bar or button savior to take you to your launcher home.
Alternately, you could create a shortcut to the B&N home screen on your Launcher home screen using AnyCut or similar.
Or, you could just not set one launcher as default. That way you get a prompt each time you hit home.

I'm sorry but how long does the nooter typically take? It's been nearly 10 minutes now and nothing going. I haven't tried the nooter since this past November and have only rooted manually since then; any advice would be appreciated!
Ok, complete noob question here....
I have this successfully loaded, but I hit the home button and went to the "nook home". How in the heck do you get back to the android launcher?
Thanks!

You can do a search for ADW with nook home or hit the home button twice. That brings up a choice of nook home or ADW.
Is it normal that I cannot find the Market app?
I was able to sign in to YouTube, Gmail, browse, everything seemed fine. No Market app, however.
Just to give you the details of what I did:
I tried to root with TouchNooter; however, after about half an hour of screen with instructions, I clicked the power button. At that time the screen flashed black and I removed the sd and rebooted. I got the Android welcome screen and followed the instructions on the first page of this thread. Until the "market" part, as I didn't have any market app.
What happened? Did I reboot too early? Should I wait more than half an hour for TouchNooter to do his magic?
Thanks.

Hmm... having the same problem here. I saw ADW once, but ended up back at the Nook home screen. Now when I hold down the home key I get a recent apps list that includes "Home", but not ADW. Searching doesn't turn anything up either, and hitting home twice just makes the menu go away.
What am I missing here?
If you can see a transparent thing on the right side of the screen with an arrow in it, try and push it and use the home button that appears in the bar. Make sure that you select ADW and not the Home app there.
Info on upgrading to 1.1.2: I did a factory reset and wiped user data, then upgraded to B&N 1.1.2. I downloaded the latest version, then re-rooted a couple of days ago. Everything worked as it did with 1.1.0, including having to wait 24 hours for Market to be functional. I reinstalled a number of apps yesterday with no problems. Tonight, Market search results are much more limited. For example, searching on "dropbox" yields nothing, whereas last night I found both the Dropbox and Dropsync apps. I can install these same apps from the Market web page.
Also, Super Manager does not appear to function unless I reinstall it.

Could you check to see what version of android you have now on your rooted NST? I did what you did, and after reroot the NST went from 1.1.2 back to 1.1.0 (as expected).
Device Info is showing software version 1.1.0. Interesting. I watched it do the update, so I know it ran. EDIT: I just did an Erase & Deregister, and copied the update file back over. It's updated and is (again) showing 1.1.2. I re-ran the rooting process, and while everything (mostly) works, Device Info is now showing 1.1.0 again. Super Manager does not launch. Waiting 24 hours for Market to re-enable.
Not sure how to show the underlying Android version on the NST, but I assume it's still 2.1 given the lack of changes in the update.
At this point, I don't think TN is quite ready for B&N 1.1.2. Very close, but not quite.

Thanks for the warning. Since I am happy with NST 1.1, I will stick with it. I tend to be conservative and don't want to be on the leading/bleeding edge.
Always fun to watch those who want the latest/greatest - bugs and all.
Is anyone else having problems with certain areas of text just not showing up? The first area I noticed was on the market search results. I can browse the market fine and even install apps from it but searching just gives me a blank screen. When choosing a time zone in minimlaistic text I get a large blank screen as well. If it helps, my rooted Nook Color has the same issues sometimes (though in different apps/places).
same problem here
Until it's fixed you can use "SearchMarket App".

61This Nooter is officially supported by The Nooter Project for Nook Simple Touch
I'm not adding certain things because I don't believe they should be available as part of a rooting kit designed to give users more control of their devices. Things such as additional readers or CPU Clocks are up to the user to install themselves and needlessly putting them in Nooter creates app bloat that a user may or may not want. You can always drop Apps you want into \nooter\data\app and they will install automatically when you root the device. This Nooter is designed with the sole purpose of opening up the possibilities of the device by giving users Root, Google Apps, and other Apps which make the device more usable as an android device than just an e-reader.

- Before you begin:
- You must already have a registered Nook Simple Touch
- You must have a Gmail/Youtube linked Account. IF you used a Gmail account for B&N Registration you should use that one for this process.
- You must either have dd (Linux) or WinImage (Windows) software.
- You must have an external microSDCard reader or this will not work. Using the Nook Simple Touch can result in it becoming unusable (bricked).
- You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.
- Let's get started:
- Download TouchNooter from here: touchnooter-2-1-31.zip - Uploaded
- Linux: Unzip and use dd if=touchnooter-xx-xx-xx.img of=/dev/sdcard (where xx-xx-xx is the version number)
- Windows: Unzip and use WinImage to "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image" to your SDcard.
- Windows Alternative: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download
- If you wish to use Underclocking follow these steps
- Download Underclock.zip from uploaded attachments
- Unzip it and place the data folder in /nooter/
- Check that the com.antutu.CpuMasterFree folder is in the /nooter/data/data folder
- Check that com.antutu.CpuMasterFree.apk is in /nooter/data/app
- If you wish to use Underclocking follow these steps
- Power off your Nook Simple Touch.
- Insert TouchNooter SDcard into your Nook Simple Touch.
- Power on your Nook Simple Touch.
- You should see the new TouchNooter boot screen, follow all instructions.
- That was the hard part, now to the simple stuff.
- Upon boot unlock your screen.
- At the Android Welcome Screen skip Sign In.
- Enable Location Services when given the option.
- Connect to Wifi and launch Youtube from ADW's App Drawer (Or the App Drawer of your Choice).
- Click the Menu button (The right one in the middle of the status bar).
- Select "My Channel" and Login using your Gmail Account.
- Exit Youtube and Launch Gmail from ADW's App Drawer.
- Sync your Gmail Account and Exit. (If it fails to sync that is fine.)
- At this time Market fails and you must wait up to a day. Just check it every so often. Future updates should fix this.
- Open up Market and Accept Terms and Service.
- If you made it this far your nook should be successfully Rooted. Go Download an App to make sure.
- If you made it this far your nook should be successfully Rooted. Go Download an App to make sure.
- Enable Non-Market Installs by running the NookColor Tools App.
- If your Youtube fails to launch Uninstall and Reinstall Youtube from /data/app
- Go to Settings > Device Info > SdCard > UnMount > Format

It says, this is for 1.1, not for 1.2. So mayby read about what you are doing?
Press power for 2 secs, wait 1 sec, press it for 15 secs, wait 2 secs, and start over, and over, for 8 times. Then, if you want to have root, use any compatible rooter.
It does not matter if you use a Glowlight version, it should work for 99%2
Despite the fact this thread is deprecated, this rom is the best for having a really good screen contrast on our NST.
I leave this instructions for those who need help to downgrade their NST to install TouchNooter.2Forget about the restart the process three times, do it like this:
1) Use nookRestore to restore /system.
2) Erase and Deregistered to wipe /data
(If it dosnt let you, force it shutting down your nook, then starting it up, and when the screen flickers press right and left bottom buttons, hold for 5+ seconds).
3) Register, or not, as you preffer.
4) Apply 1.1 firmware update.
5) Open the TouchNooter 1.6.24 image and inside the nooter folder, search and substitude the uRamdisk for this one http://www.multiupload.com/CJ981FWPJG
and framework.jar for this one http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19201466&postcount=352.
6) Use the new TouchNooter 1.6.24 to root your device. Follow the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1132693
If it dosnt work, try again until it works.
7) Continue with registering: Youtube (401 error) --> GMail --> Market.
8) Download adb, and unzip it:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1124160&page=6
download this vending apk:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1124160&page=6
and sqlite3:
http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-shell-win32-x86-3070900.zip
copy the apk and sqlite3 tothefolderyouunzippedadb/platform-tools , open cmd and then:
cd tothefolderyouunzippedadb/platform-tools
adb connect yournooktouchip
Now we are going to enable non market apps use my method, or what madmachinist said:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
sqlite3 settings.db "update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';"
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
adb reboot
now when NST reboots:
cd tothefolderyouunzippedadb/platform-tools
adb connect yournooktouchip
adb install Vending.apk
adb reboot
You are done, everything should work now.2
Uhm?
Please stop redistributing an old and obsolete version of my restore image!
It's also common to give proper credits when redistributing stuff like you do..
The right way to do this would be to link to the actual thread in this forum, so people can get the latest version and updated instructions.
Links you should add instead of redistributing copies that are or will be obsolete:
