So I have TouchNooter Installed on my first generation ST Nook.

Everything works ... but now I want to reset the accounts before I give this Nook to my nephew.

Anyone know a sure way to either remove the accounts (or change to another account)?

Thanks!!

I followed the instructions. TouchNooter ran, screen went black, I powered off, and on.

Now it's stuck on "Read Forever, Your NOOK is starting up..."

And I can't turn it off or anything.

Help?

UPDATE: I was on 1.2.1, needed to use NookManager -- thanks to thenookieforlife3 for helping me every step of the way!

If you had read either the title of the thread (which states that this is for SW version 1.1) or the post right above yours by @d0g (which states that this mod does not work on 1.2.1 and states that NookManager is the right way to go), you could have avoided soft-bricking your Nook. :eek:

this title "[N2E][1.1] TouchNooter 2.1.31" nothing tell about SW ver. 1.1
IMHO this info should be in post with instruction,
and this topic has 45 pages, info about "this mod does not work on 1.2.1 " again should be on first page in firs post not the last, Don't you think?

Read the bold text: "[N2E][1.1] TouchNooter 2.1.31". Does that not suggest that TouchNooter is for 1.1?

Anyways, I agree that the info should be in the OP - the only problem is that Mr. Destruir has not been online in a while to actually make that change. :eek:

Okay, great, like others, I am stuck at the nook startup part. How do I restore or un-soft brick my device?

And thanks if anyone can help me, the stupid!

Factory reset not working.

If you have not already done so, I suggest you prepare an SD card with NookManager files and boot your Nook with that card in place. There is a factory restore option there that is total, i.e., it rewrites the factory image with FW 1.21. Since Nook Manager boots from the SD card you have a good chance of getting to that menu option and selecting it even if your Nook is currently messed up.

If all you want to do is restore the Nook to its original condition, that's all you need to do with NookManager.

Does anyone know if you can use this method now that the nook servers have been turned off? I have tried to deregister a second hand nook I bought but it fails. It also won't factory reset.

Will I get stuck after flashing it when it tries to register?

So you're in the UK? It is possible to bypass the registration sequence but there have been reports that the end result is rapid battery drain. I cannot confirm.

If you're having trouble with a factory reset, why not prepare a NookManager SD card? It has a factory reset option--that should take care of that problem. You will still be faced with the registration issue, though. Better look round a little before you go there and see if the power drain issue is real.

Yes, I'm in the UK. I hadn't heard about battery drain, I'll look into it.

I can do the factory reset no problems, it's the registration bit that bothers me. There is a guide on how to skip it, but the guide indicates that it doesn't work any more.

I couldn't care less about using the nook features to be honest, I plan to sideload the books from my old nook. I just wanted it clean of the previous owners Patrica Cornwell and Andy McNabb books, looks like I'm stuck with them.

I have given up on rooting it for now. I have just used Calibre to delete all the old books from it and restore my stuff from my old nook.

Here's another possibility. If your other NST still works you could make a backup with NookManager. Then write down the serial number and MAC address of the new one. Now use NookManager to "restore" the new one. So now it's registered. There is a post on the forum somewhere about editing MAC addresses so the two devices won't interfere with each other. Since you can't connect to B&N the serial number probably doesn't matter.

    This 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.


    • What it does:
      • Enables ADB via uRamdisk

      • June 20, 2011 - Initial Release
    • Before you begin:
      1. You must already have a registered Nook Simple Touch
      2. 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.
      3. You must either have dd (Linux) or WinImage (Windows) software.
      4. You must have an external microSDCard reader or this will not work. Using the Nook Simple Touch can result in it becoming unusable (bricked).
      5. You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.

    • Let's get started:
      1. Download TouchNooter from here: touchnooter-2-1-31.zip - Uploaded
      2. Linux: Unzip and use dd if=touchnooter-xx-xx-xx.img of=/dev/sdcard (where xx-xx-xx is the version number)
      3. Windows: Unzip and use WinImage to "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image" to your SDcard.
      4. Windows Alternative: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download
        • If you wish to use Underclocking follow these steps
          1. Download Underclock.zip from uploaded attachments
          2. Unzip it and place the data folder in /nooter/
          3. Check that the com.antutu.CpuMasterFree folder is in the /nooter/data/data folder
          4. Check that com.antutu.CpuMasterFree.apk is in /nooter/data/app
      5. Power off your Nook Simple Touch.
      6. Insert TouchNooter SDcard into your Nook Simple Touch.
      7. Power on your Nook Simple Touch.
      8. You should see the new TouchNooter boot screen, follow all instructions.
      9. That was the hard part, now to the simple stuff.
      10. Upon boot unlock your screen.
      11. At the Android Welcome Screen skip Sign In.
      12. Enable Location Services when given the option.
      13. Connect to Wifi and launch Youtube from ADW's App Drawer (Or the App Drawer of your Choice).
      14. Click the Menu button (The right one in the middle of the status bar).
      15. Select "My Channel" and Login using your Gmail Account.
      16. Exit Youtube and Launch Gmail from ADW's App Drawer.
      17. 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.
      18. 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.

      19. Enable Non-Market Installs by running the NookColor Tools App.
      20. If your Youtube fails to launch Uninstall and Reinstall Youtube from /data/app
      21. Go to Settings > Device Info > SdCard > UnMount > Format

    I just tried to root my daughter's new Nook Simple Touch (1.2 firmware) with the touchnooter-2-1-31 image written to a microSD card but it just hangs at the Touchnooter instruction screen forever. If I remove the SD card and try to reboot it hangs at the "Your Nook is starting up..." screen. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks

    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%

    This thread is deprecated, however you should be able to use GlowNooter on the normal TouchNooter (based on how B&N does their updates it should work for both). If anyone can confirm this I'll change the front post to properly link to the current update.

    Despite the fact this thread is deprecated, this rom is the best for having a really good screen contrast on our NST.

    Forget 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.

    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:
