Well, I don't know anymore; I think something might be wrong with that nooter process; I've since restored and nootered it with FT-1.5-beta5

The busybox was a NFS symlink like I wrote, and the nooter.tgz doesn't show it to be like that either.

Maybe I have interrupted the process or something went wrong during the install.

I can try and use the nooter on a stock nook again, just to make sure, I'll try it over the weekend.

Any ideas about the failing browsers though? That would be awesome to iron that out, having such device without the browser that works partially is just not very usable.

Honestly, I don't even care for stock nook apps; I'd ideally just run stock android on it or CM7; I don't even have a credit card to use B&N shop and don't live in the usa so am unlikely to walk into a B&N store to use their Wi-Fi.

Some months back--before the official Nook wifi update came out--I rooted via TouchNooter and now have everything running fine. However, I have noticed my wifi is a bit off.

Given this I wondered how hard the process is to get the official update on my Nook and the reroot.

Is it simple now? Is it worth bothering?

Thanks.

Opera mobile works best for me.

Apologies for not reading the entire thread; I searched for key terms, specifically 'formatted' and 'unrecognized', as they seemed logical for anyone experiencing this issue. I browsed the last ~ 8 or so pages, so I'm praying I didn't just miss it and look foolish as a result.

I'm attempting to root / etc a NST, reporting as software version 1.1.0, which I believe indicates that it's good to go for purposes of touchnooter 2.1.31.

I've registered the device, and powered it off via long-press of power followed by 'do you want to fully power off', followed by 'Your NOOK has turned off completely'

Using a 1g microsd card in an external reader on linux, I've dd'd touchnooter-2-1-31.img to the card (with the mount unmounted):

(df result prior to umount, the 1g microsd is /dev/sde1:
/dev/sde1 969M 96K 969M 1% /media/457B-0FEB

umounted /media/457B-0FEB.

dschutzn@Fooiel:~/Desktop$ dd if=touchnooter-2-1-31.img of=/dev/sde1
249345+0 records in
249345+0 records out
127664640 bytes (128 MB) copied, 28.3721 s, 4.5 MB/s
)

Removed microsd from external reader; put microsd into NST. Pressed power button.

Short press ( under 1 second) appears to not do anything; expected?

Longish press (under 2 seconds but over 1 second), device boots, shows nothing touchnooter specific, boots to normal nook-ness.

Upon sliding to unlock, dialog box. Title: 'SD card format required'. Body: 'This memory card is unrecognized and needs to be formatted.'

Cancel / Format Now buttons follow.

Powering off NST w/o formatting microsd, back to reader, fdisk partition info:

Disk /dev/sde1: 1015 MB, 1015741952 bytes

Partition 3 has different physical/logical endings:

Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.


Any thoughts? Anyone spotting something where I'm doing it wrong, etc? Please see where I'm doing something wrong =(


EDIT:

Found some info in http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1506004 - basically, same issue, same scenario (more or less), 1,1 NST and touchnooter and linux to dd the image to the card, card not seen properly as a result. He was able to get it working via a windows machine; I have no windows machines. So it's just 'problem exists for more than just myself' at this point, I guess. Any linux solutions?

dd if=touchnooter-2-1-31.img of=/dev/sde

You have to copy the image to the entire disk not just one partition.

Perfect, thanks, and now I feel more than a bit derpy.

Can I apply Nook update from B&N before running this tool?

Does this update apply to Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight too ( Multitouch ) ?

Touchnooter does not work for Nook Glow

Can't Get to ADW Home

---

Hi Guys,
Quick question.
The battery on my Nook drain all the way and now when I boot in, I still have the side, pull-out drawer, but when I hit the Home button instead of opening ADW, it goes to the B&N home screen.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
