Unhappy Problem about Manual Rooting + Gapps 1.1

I did exactly what was written in the Development Section and more but unfortunately i couldn't manage to root it

First of all do i have to say i am no expert in these matters. Well i am not.
Somethings are missing in the guide for people who are not familiar with these things. For example it doesn't mention about how to create platform-tools folder in android-sdk-windows. I thought maybe i could do it from software and updated&installed bunch of things. Than voila i got the platform-tools folder.

In the "Setting up adb on the nook touch:" section we were told that write noogie to sd boot it and eject it away. And are we done with the sd card in the next sections ? Anyway i assumed as i don't need the card anymore and put it away.

When i came to "Setting up root acces on NST through adb and installing busybox:"
do the steps and entered the commands to Command Prompt(CMD). Everything seems fine but Nook didn't boot. I think maybe i can go to next step and enter those commands. I did it but it didn't boot either. So i manually booted the device and entered first line of commands again right after that finally Nook booted!

So i thought i only did the first command line set in the "Settin up root access on NST thorugh...." section so that i entered the second command set again but it didn't booted. And than i have proceeded to the next steps for the chance that if it went fine but directions made me thought it didn't. But when i came to Launcher and gapss part , it didn't boot so i figured that somethings was not right.

I don't know wtf is wrong but i thought maybe i should format and plug the sd card or just plug with noogie right after i thought we were done with sd card. So i did all those steps with the sd card formated and with noogie sd... It was all same.

Sorry for my unpleasant english. Please help me. For the "please help me lord" line i am sharing this song with you youtu.be/kLCCEipgmJQ

Download noogie, and burn it into an sd-card (http://www.multiupload.com/OFI609MP8V) use Win32DiskImage.exe.
Shut down the Nook Touch completely your NST http://www.multiupload.com/CJ981FWPJG
Insert the sdcard into your Nook, connect it to the pc and turn it on.
When the nook ends booting (you should see a rooted forever spash screen on it) wait 20 seconds, you should see a new drive named boot, if not, go to MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition look for a parition named boot and asign it a letter.
Open boot, and replace the uramdisk, with this one http://www.multiupload.com/CJ981FWPJG.
Eject the nook from the pc and reboot without the noogie sdcard.

Download java JKD http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...ads/index.html
Download the android sdk (I recommend zipped) and extract it on C so that it looks like C:/android-sdk-windows

I will add an step next, that is open the sdk, and update it.
And for the second comand line...... its adb connect yourNSTip where yourNSTip means... your Nook Single Touch IP address, so find that out and right it instead.
Read carefully, if you dont know what you are doing, you are better off using the touchnooter method, wich is simple and just works as intended and you wont mess things up so easily.

I don't know why you enlarged reboot part which i did correctly. And there is nothing wrong about ip adress part. If you would read carefully! I wrote that it is just didn't reboot automaticly as it is in the command line.

Btw if i would know what am i doing i would not need a guide so did you open that topic for just to proove that you did this. What kind of behavior is this ? Reread what i wrote or just don't try to help me with your blindfold and arrogance. I suppose there will be polite person in XDA who can help me out.

I posted the topic to help someone in particular and of course anyone who wants to use it, and myself to remember.

I couldnt understand halve of what you wrote, and I know you appologised for it so I didn't mention it.

As it says, this is a first draft, there may be typos, next time just say where you got stuck clearly, it'll be easier............

Now, I know you got stuck on the reboot at rooting, you shouldn't but I'll change the code a bit.

I also didnt intend to be rude, maybe you read me wrong, maybe you are the one being arrogant here as you got mad because I enlarged reboot, allthough I was trying to help you even if I was wrong.

If you have 0 adb experience I recomend you try touchnooter, its easier and faster, if you intend to learn adb, my guide is self explainatory, and just copying one by one the commands on cmd is enough, learn to follow instructions.

Don't worry I wont help you again

This becoming a pissing contest and i don't want to talk about it anymore.

So here is the thing. I have tried this method
mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=156539 "i couldn't make it a link because i had few posts"

And it worked out well until pushing Vending.apk

Here are the things i did to make it work
1- Opened up and turn on Adb wireless widget

2- Located the Vending.apk to c:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools/system/app

3- And then wrote these commands

Quote:
cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools

adb connect 192.168.2.20:5555

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

adb push vending.apk /system/app

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tool>adb push Vending.apk /system/app
182 kb/sn (2123059bytes in 11.380s)
It seems okay but when i try to search from market i see that it is not.
