Default HULU plus back after debloat?

Is there a way to get HULU plus back working after rooting and debloating with Indirect's method. The app would instantly close. So I downloaded the app from the thread with all the apps from Rforce1 and installed it. It immediately force closes.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

I'm having the same issue..

I just gave up on it

I have a feeling we would need to restore back to 1.4.0 and re-root...

Just a feeling

After rooting and setting up my NT the way I liked (adding ADW Launcher, etc.), the Hulu app still ran, but it wouldn't let me log in (got some error about my device having "connectivity issues"). My solution? I used Titanium Backup to backup the Hulu app, and then I uninstalled it. Then I went onto the Android Market and downloaded/installed it (if it doesn't show up in the Market for you, know that I changed my build.prop to look like the DROID3). After that, everything ran smoothly. Hope this solution helps your slightly-different problem.

Nunspa, I think your right about having to unroot and start over again with rooting and not debloating. However, when I originally rooted I was watching the football game and missed a step. So I unrooted. But then my computer wouldn't recognize my NT. I spent days trying to get it to recognize it. I don't know if it was my dinosaur of a notebook. I eventually went to the second computer in my house and rooted it fine. I am afraid to unroot again for fear that that second notebook won't recognize my NT. But I am paying for Hulu Plus on my TV and it sucks that I can't see it on my NT. I was able to before I rooted.
Mattman1983, thank you for your suggestion. I did what you suggested and backed up with TB. But Hulu Plus doesn't show up in the market for me and I don't know how to change the build.prop and don't know the consequences of such a procedure.

I may eventually unroot again and start over if no one suggests a different way.

erpman,

The USB connectivity issue is tied to conflicting drivers, Thus the computer you preformed your root on should be able to re-root without any issues.

I have been considering re-rooting, and besides I'm eyeing the 1.4.1 rooting presented by DeanGibson..

Just have to back up my apps with TBA and I should be good to go, besides It's not like I have any "irreplaceable" items.. ya it's a pain, but may be worth it.

Nunspa, are you saying that I can reroot without unrooting first? I'm thinking that I have to unroot using indirect's unrooter which brings the nt back to stock 1.4 including the huluplus app. Rerooting without unrooting wouldn't bring me back to stock. Sorry if I'm not making sense. What's the benefit of the 1.4.1 root?

One method might be to use the 3 hulu+ titanium backup files from another device and restore them. This is how I got hulu+ to work on my Xoom. If someone wants to try that, here's a guide on how to do it.
Device: Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Android Version: 4.1.2; AOKP Build 5

Device: Motorola Xoom WiFi
Android Version: 4.1.2; Eos Nightlies

Device: Samsung Moment
Android Version: 2.2.2; UberMoment 1.3.4

Other devices I am familiar with:

HP Touchpad | HTC Droid Incredible | Motorola Droid X | Motorola Photon | Nook Color | Nook Tablet

Nooo you need to unroot, revert back to 1.4.0 and do it all over again..

you mentioned that you had issues with one of your computers recognizing your NT, that was due to conflicting drivers...

Default Titanium Backup method

So I used Indirect's method to root my gf's Nook tablet thus Hulu Plus remained. I have hence backed up the app and am attaching the 3 files from the backup. All you would need to do is place these 3 files in your titanium backup folder and then go into titanium backup and restore the app. You may need to restore app + data but I'm not sure.

If someone who used the full debloat root method could try this out and let me know how it goes, I'd appreciate it.

File 1
File 2
File 3

Having issues with attachments so I uploaded the files to mediafire
Device: Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Android Version: 4.1.2; AOKP Build 5

Device: Motorola Xoom WiFi
Android Version: 4.1.2; Eos Nightlies

Device: Samsung Moment
Android Version: 2.2.2; UberMoment 1.3.4
