(OUTDATED) All-in-One, ROOT + manual OTA + Enable Unknown Source+ GAPPS

[dbrons]

OK....thanks to the posters here and to some perseverance I was able to get my HD+ rooted, with playstore working. pumpal suggested to me to edit the allinone batch file because it wasn't working for me. I couldn't get his suggestion to work, but later when I tried the original allinone again I realized I had root and superuser but no Google playstore.

So I edited out the first part of allinone, that had completed, and ran it again and lo and behold it worked. Took me two days but got it

I did a lot of reading and learned that when you use adb shell, then su and the $ turns into a # you have root. If anyone finds themselves halfway there with superuser but no ability to install apps from playstore, I ran allinone from:
'@echo -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
@echo Uploading files for blocking auto OTA and allow Unknown Source.
@adb wait-for-devices shell sync'

all the way to the end.

Dave ...........and thanks again to you guys who do this and share your work with us

HD - Installing from ADB without root

You need root to install from ADB. But if you flash my gapps zip with my CWM as described in my thread in the dev section, you don't need root. It runs fine without root.

Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10 on SD

I have a Nook HD, which I rooted using the All-In-One method when it was at 2.0.4. This worked fine, and I was able to install apps from the Google Play Store and the Amazon Appstore, and also using ADB from my Windows 7 PC.

Then I got upgraded to 2.0.5 and found like everyone else that my Nook was no longer rooted - confirmed by Root Checker Pro and Titanium Backup.

However, I was surprised to find that I can still install from ADB and the Google and Amazon stores. Is this a difference between the HD and the HD+?

Given that I can still do almost everything I want to do, I'm wondering if it's worth resetting to 2.0.0 and re-rooting. I might just wait until CM10 on SD is available for the HD. What do you think?

You don't need root to do those things, so you can leave it that way if you want. But if you want root back, I have an easy solution in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.

And cm10 is available for the HD now.

It happens...

Guys, it can be a noob question, but i stuck. During the (re-)instalation of GAPPS there is a question: replace framework/...jar? [y]es, [n]o and others. And i can't choose any. Like it doesn't see my keyboard at all...

The easiest solution is to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash the gapps + extras zip. It puts the same version back in the same spot effortlessly.

Thank you - it's very good news that CM10 and CWM are now available for the HD. I was surprised I'd missed that, but then found the announcement was only posted earlier today. Now that I can follow your advice to do a nandroid backup first, I shall definitely go for your new solution to get root back.

One thing is confusing me: you posted a zipped CWM image (NookHD-bootable-CWM-6025-for-emmc-stock-4GB.zip), but in the '[Nook HD] CM10 development (sdcard) updated 12/25' thread bokbokan says "For the cwm image use this: sdcard-cwm-hummingbirdv2.img.gz". Which should I use? Or are they the same when unpacked?

Bokbokan's CWM is for making the cm10 on SD. Mine is for using on stock. Mine is just a modified version of his.

Help with Root on Nook HD

I've opened the rootzip file on my windows computer and I have clicked on matchroot and Comand Promt will come up for about litterally half a second. Could someone please give me an easy walkthrough that a beginner would undersand? I have a nook HD version 2.0.5 and I am tired of having to pay for games, and having such a limited app store. Thank you soooo much!

For an HD on 2.0.5, you want to look at this thread.

Well, I was able to get my Nook HD+ 2.0.2 rooted without a hitch. The procedure is very simple to follow and everything worked perfectly. Now I've been wondering about the GoogleMaps.apk

Exactly what purpose does that serve?

I'm not aware of the Nook HD+ having any sort of GPS or anything built in so I don't see what purpose having this installed could do. Now I have these apps installed in my app list that I'll never use. Am I missing something altogether? Was there some small part of this app install that is needed for something else in the grander scheme of things?

Just curious.

Thanks.

If you don't want any of the gapps, like talk, go to settings, apps, my apps, choose the app (like talk) and choose disable.

And some people like Google maps to look something up or search on the map, not to navigate. You do not need GPS to do that.

Thanks for the info leapinlar. That's exactly what I was looking for. I thought these were only usable with a GPS function. Also, thanks for the heads-up on the disable feature.

The Nooks have Bluetooth, and there are numerous Bluetooth GPS receivers you can buy that would give your Nook full GPS capability, which can combine with the Maps app to do Google based navigation.

Well, while that's certainly true to a point, seeing as the Nook HD+ doesn't have 3G or any sort of wireless other that wi-fi, I still say that it's usefulness as any sort of GPS mapping tool is pretty minimal.

Still, it's good to know and I'm certain some would find it useful. Thanks for the info.

No 3g, but most people on this forum have rooted smartphones, and can do Wi-Fi tethering

I got mine two days ago, it auto updated to 2.0.5.

I reset 8 times, got it back to 2.0, skipped Oobe, ran someone0's allinone and everything seems fine so far.

My question is: Can you rename your profile from "TEST" and/or can you cancel the persistent "your library is syncing" notification? In addition to that Device Owner is "unknown", etc.

Never mind, I found my answer. I'll just have to get used to it.

Thanks for the awesome work everyone!

No, you are stuck with the name test and unknown owner. If you want your own name on it, reset again, let it update to 2.0.5, register and use my CWM and zips to root and install gapps. Look at my CWM thread linked in my signature.

I have a Nook Tablet and often use maps to get an idea of directions, when shopping for something at local stores, etc. Additionally, some prefer the larger screen for Navigation than on a smartphone, and there is a WiFi tether GPS sync program a developer posted so you can use the GPS on your phone as the GPS on the Nook. I don't know if it is practical as I use my phone for navigation, but if I had a better stand for inside my car it would be nice to have the larger screen while navigating to unknown destinations, as well as quicker recognition when switching through music, slacker, etc. Of course this requires that I have WiFi tethering "on" on my smartphone and the WPA supplicant file for the Nook to recognize the ad hock network for internet... which means additional devices plugged into the cigarette/power adapter.

BTW... although I mention the possibilities I also ride a motorcycle when it's not snowing. Please all, pay attention to and prioritize the road and other drivers/riders when thinking of manipulating ANYTHING within your vehicle. I've been put into many dangerous situations because someone's text/phone call/ makeup/ etc. was more interesting than nearby vehicles, parked cars, or traffic lights.
