I have USB debugging on, and I turned on storage mode. Are both of those right?
Yeah, USB debugging is definitely needed. Having storage mode on is fine too.
But let's slow down and back up a little here. Btw, I'm not trying to be condescending with the following. Just being thorough.
First, unplug your Nook from USB. Next, on the Nook uncheck then recheck USB debugging. Now back up to the Home screen.
If you're running Windows Vista/7, make sure you're running command prompt as Administrator. Better safe than sorry. Now at a command prompt type:
adb kill-server
There won't be any result but you should get back to the command prompt.
Now connect the Nook via USB and type:
adb devices
This is just to re-connect your Nook to your computer. You should get a result like:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx device
Now type:
adb shell
If you don't get a $ (unrooted) or # (rooted) prompt, then I think there is something wrong with the drivers you installed.
If you do get a $ or # prompt, type:
exit
You should be back to your command prompt.
If you get this far, re-extract or move the zip from
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Nookie_Froyo_Tips#3rd-Party_App_support to C:\Temp.
At a command prompt type:
cd C:\Temp
dir
You should get something like
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is B077-0836
Directory of C:\Temp
02/15/2011 03:06 PM <DIR> .
02/15/2011 03:06 PM <DIR> ..
02/15/2011 03:06 PM <DIR> META-INF
02/15/2011 03:06 PM <DIR> system
0 File(s) 0 bytes
4 Dir(s) 20,067,143,680 bytes free
Now type (or copy/paste):
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system
You should get back to a command prompt. Now type (or copy/paste):
adb push "C:\Temp\system" system/
Again you should get back to a command prompt. Now type (or copy/paste):
adb reboot
This will reboot your Nook and the Google Apps will be available.
