I'm running B&N 1.2 rooted with ManualNooter 4.4.28 and I saw a couple posts where people said they dropped some apks into their system/app folders to install apps that wouldn't install from the market. When I plugged my Nook into the computer, I don't have access to the system folder in order to copy the apk over. I tried just putting it on the sd card and using the Astro file manager and the ES file explorer to copy and paste into that folder, but it won't let me. What do I need to do in order to do that?
You need to remount the /system as read/write, it's read-only by default.
You'll probably need a terminal emulator, or preferably get adb setup. A little googling of the "mount" command and/or adb should get you there.

Thanx for the info. I installed adb and got it working with my Nook now. Remounting the /system was easy after i searched for the command to use.
FWIW Root Explorer works great. Best four bucks I've spent so far for Market progs.

I agree, best $4 I spent too. I got the Amazon App Store installed using it, also Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio.
Hey i'm having trouble with something similar. A real challenge though, as I have 1) no non-adhoc wireless network 2) no genuine nook cable so ADB is not an option. I need to get access to the file system so I can apply the Ad-hoc fix, but I can't find any way to do so without a file manager, and I can't find a way to install an apk without ADB or market. (i'm running 1.2 rooted) Any genius ideas would be much appreciated!

Search "SU File Manager & Terminal" on Android Market. It's the best app working till now. It has "Mount System/Data RW" option, makes it easier to mount the partitions as RW without executing any commands and copy the APKs from SD card to any System or Data partitions.
It has quick option to mount the partitions as RO.

Do you have any microUSB cable that you can connect to a computer with? You don't need the genuine cable... if you don't have market, and can't install any apks via terminal/connectbot or ADB, then i'm not sure what you can do...
edit: maybe you could dual boot CWM and go through that to install files?
Thanks for the reply. I've tried a micro USB cable but it didn't seem to recognize the NC, and in 1.2 there was no notification that USB was connected. Perhaps I have something wrong with my USB port? Also, I don't really know how I would install files through CWM; I have it on SD, which is how I've been making changes. Could you point me in the right direction on that?
Thanks!
Those using Root Explorer, I'm running CM7 from an SD card using verygreen's method, but don't have any SD reader other than the NC, so I can't install gapps/market. I have sideloaded Root Explorer, but can't find anywhere to drop the gapps...zip where it will install on a recovery boot. I don't even have a way to format my one-and-only SD card to attempt a root of the stock OS and get more functionality out of CWM.
I don't mean to thread-hijack, but it seems quite related, and I can't post in the dev forum yet.

The specific package is gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip, for CM7 7.0.2. I have the file, and normally you would use a PC to drop it in the SD card's boot partition, but like I said, the only means I have of getting at the SD is over USB to the Nook, and I can't access the boot partition that way. I'm wondering if I can reach the boot partition via Root Explorer, or is it totally off limits while CM7 is running off the SD?

yeah, i haven't played any with CWM / sdcard boots, so i'm no help. sorry...
as for the micro USB cable and such - i'm using a generic one, which is working. is it not even reading as a storage device? have you tried removing and reinstalling the drivers? do you have nook color tools installed so that you can toggle 'debugging'?

I'll try to clarify:
1) Running CM7.0.2 from SD, will the SD card's boot partition be visible in Root Explorer?
2) If so, in what specific directory do I need to place the zip file for the system to recognize and install it on a recovery boot?
Perhaps I'll start a more specific thread on the matter. If I end up having to get a card reader, so be it, but I've overspent my gadget allowance for at least a week or two, so I'm trying to get as far as possible with what I have. I do have the Amazon app store set up, and even minus the Google market, CM7 is preferable to stock.
In case anyone is interested, I found a simple solution: CMW. Verygreen's SD-install allows you to flash CMW to the Nook's eMMC without affecting the stock OS, and from CMW you can mount the SD card with USB plugged in and Windows will see the boot partition. I initially wanted to get CMW on the NC without rooting, anyway, so things worked out perfectly

That's a terrible idea. Installing CMW to the NC internal memory wipes the nooks built-in recovery. Getting CMW on an sd card is very simple, more functional, and can even be installed alongside verygreen's setup.
Better yet every person who doesn't do this is one less person showing up on the forums going "omg, i messed up and now my nook won't boot, it just keeps going to CMW."

Any elaboration on why it's a terrible idea to replace the NC's built-in recovery with something more full-featured? It's advised or assumed in pretty much any dev thread for writing any ROM to eMMC, except most of them say "root first," which appears unnecessary. I did think I'd wiped the stock OS at first, but basically decided to deal with it later and finished installing gapps, after which the stock OS suddenly reappeared. It was perplexing, but after some more fiddling, I puzzled out the boot behavior and it is consistent:
1) power on with SD card inserted, and I get CM7.0.2.
2) hold home key and power on with SD card inserted, and ROM Manager will check for new ROMs/zips.
3) power on with SD card ejected (not necessarily removed) and I get stock 1.2.
4) hold home key and power on with SD card ejected, and I get CWM
I'm new to all of this, so I welcome feedback, but "It's bad, mmkay?" doesn't go far. Will having CWM in place of "factory mode" cause instability? Would a CWM install on the SD allow me to mount the SD boot part to USB? Why do we all keep wanting to write it "CMW?"
@taosaur
It's actually kind of a pet peeve of mine, along with the root first mentality you mentioned.
It won't cause instability, but it locks you out of doing a factory reset, and can lock you into recovery mode.
If things go wrong, you can't reset your device, can't get out of a bootcount induced bootloop, can't (in theory) take it in for warranty, etc.
Honestly it's the easiest thing in the world to switch between the two, or just fix the problems from cwm--if you know what you are doing. BUT!
I really can't count how many threads I've seen with people who've installed clockworkmod and have run into issues and have absolutely no idea what to do. They are just screwed and pissed off (rightly so) because they read somewhere that they needed CWM. Which they didn't. And now none of the howtos for fixing it work because they just have CWM, not the stock recovery mode...
And really there is no reason whatsoever to do this to begin with. I mean in order to get CWM on your nook, you have to have a spare sd card, and you have to know how to burn an image. So why not just make an sd with CWM and save the headache, keep the builtin functionality, not worry about getting locked into recovery mode, and still have all the benefits of CWM?
Maybe i should do a writeup howto on how to add CWM to the size-agnostic cards....
Would CWM's "factory reset" option only wipe the data in the stock OS, then, and not restore the old recovery? I see where you're coming from--obviously there's value in keeping idiotproof recovery on the table, and why risk your warranty if you're running from external media anyway? But again, the original problem that CWM solved for me was getting the gapps package into the SD card's boot partition. I had 1 card and 0 card readers at my disposal. Would CWM have been able to mount the SD card's boot partition if it were installed to the card itself?
I would definitely be interested to learn how to integrate CWM into one of verygreen's "size-agnostic" cards, especially if it would still be able to mount the CM7 boot partition over USB. As is, Flash CWM installs on eMMC by default, and the Boot to Recovery commands within CM7 don't work from SD--they just reboot.
I am surprised this question doesn't get asked a lot. I spent most of the night learning about the process of rooting this e-readers into tablets when suddenly I realized that nook colors only take microSD cards... Is there a way to just use the usb cord or any other way than just using a microSD?
You need to boot into something other than stock B&N ROM to flash the rooted ROM and microSD card is the only way of doing that that I am aware of (short of physically tempering with the device). If the reason you are asking is because your computer doesn't have microSD slot then they do have USB adapters for those. Hope thats helpful
Thanks for the quick reply.
I'll buy a microSD and microSD adapter when I have the time. What do you recommend? Will I be spending a lot of money on it?
You can get a basic microSD card + SD adapter at a store for under $15. If you need a USB adapter I am not sure but many modern computers/laptops have the SD/MMC slot so you most likely don't need one
You can use your nook color as a microSD card reader. When you plug your NC into your computer it shows as a separate drive so you can burn images onto it.
I'm also wondering why the boot from SD method is necessary to root the Nook. Is it because there isn't a way to root it within the stock ROM like we typically do on our phones?

Or possibly because it's so easy no one's bothered figuring out a different method. I mean, seriously: if your device will boot from SD why would you waste your time mining the device for other exploits?

because by default, USB debugging is off, so the nook color is only a storage device (hence, you can't adb into it to get to the right files), so you're just stuck with access to your sdcard and the "nook sdcard", which is worthless.
the default nook apps don't have any tools installed that would allow otherwise to do it on the nook itself as well...

I don't have a card reader right now. But are you saying that I can connect the Nook to my computer by the USB cable and use Win32DiskImager to burn CWM onto the microSD card and follow the guide below? Is that true only for Nook Color? I have a Nook HD+ so I don't know if it would be the same for me.

IMHO, SD build is not for daily use. Battery drains fast and SD card warms up and causes lags all the time.
BTW, you can flash back WM on any time, even without a PC, you just need a file
photimg.nbh with your WM ROM on SD card root folder.
Prepare a high capacity memory card.
You don't need to boot from SD anymore,booting from SD is not stable,it will slow down the speed.
I had been thinking of Dualboot,but it looks like still not available yet,but be patient,it might be available in the future.
So why not just use this ?

Hey, thanks for the tip. It looks useful but only AFTER I get android My problem is that I want to install android, but don't have USB. I know there are SD card versions, but those are not good for daily use. The card heats up and there are a lot of breaks and freezes. So I'm asking if there is a way to install a ROM (Nand) from SD card.
Suggestion
USE:
CARD READER(MEMORY CARD TO PC)/ Connect your Windows Mobile to PC via WiFi (Download by using your Windows Mobile/Connect to PC) Remote Desktop or something like that??I never use it so I'm not sure.
Or do you have another Android in your windows mobile already?If have,you can download Airdroid and copy the files from PC to your MEMORY CARD and then uninstall the SD version of android then install the NAND android.(quite tricky)

For example, there is a way to flash a new ROM (WM) from SD. You extract the contents of the EXE file and rename the RUU_Signed.nbh to PHOTIMG.nbh and run bootloader. Isn't there something similar for the Android OS ROMs??? I'm sure it's more or less the same procedure.

AFAIK, it's not possible. ROM requires some digital signing to run.
Even custom WM ROMs you could not install from SD for the same reason.
Hi, guys. I need some help, if possible. I ordered a A500 as a gift for my dad from TechForLess. It was shipped to me with 3.0.1 demo firmware...which is essentially unusable. When I reset, it just comes back.
I did a search and other people have had this issue. They flashed a ROM using Micro SD. I tried that, but it doesn't appear that my unit is recognizing the card in the MicroSD card reader.
I'm getting a refund, but they're letting me keep the unit, and I'm trying to get it up and running for my dad for Father's day.
How can I flash a ROM (any working ROM) on this unit, not using MicroSD? For what it's worth, my computer recognizes the unit, so if there's a way to do that, it might work.
I'm new to all of this. Can anyone help?

Yeah Baby, we can help!!!!
It all depends on what you want to do.
a. Do you want to keep it stock (factory). This is ok with warranty, but seeings it's a demo model, I would guess it doesn't come with much of a warranty. Not to mention a demo model is as useless as teats on a boar hog. So skip to step c.
b. You wanna make it rock? For the best reliabilty and functional use, you're going to have to root. With the OS you have, it's darn simple. Just access the android market, and download acer recovery installer to the tab.
Wait, you're not finished.
Now you should look here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205204&highlight=iconiaroot
Then you can run AcerRecovery and install a custom HC based rom.
c. You want to run a stock update for the tab.
Now, you can't just put any old rom on the tab's sd card, and expect it to install. It doesn't work like that. First, the rom you install, has to be named "update.zip", and it should be a full rom update install. Not a patched one.
Also, the procedure to install, requires some buttons to be held. Most importantly, Holding Vol+ and the PWR button. This forces the tab to look for the update.zip on the Ext SD card.
You need to go here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
Grab a full update (you might need to decrypt it to pull the update. I would take a ComGen1. (after decrypt, open in 7zip, not extract)
Copy the update.zip to your Ext SD card, and do the step above to boot. This should install a stock full rom to the tab off the SD card.
Not many people get 3.0.1 tabs these days.....

Thanks-- but it's not reading my SD card, so I think the reader might not be working. I'm not worried about that for my dad, but I need a way to get a working ROM on there that doesn't involve the SD card reader. I'm hoping that's one of your tricks!
Your tablet comes with a built in SD card (basically the memory you have on your tablet) 8 gb or 16 gb I've flashed mods through the built in SD card but I've never tried a from so I can't speak on that but I think you will be able to if you just download the rom and try to flash it but I'm not 100% sure so wait for someone to let you know but that that's just an idea to throw at you.

If I can get it going with a normal ROM, it's a win. If not, it's a huge pain in the ass. The SD card not mounting is killing me! There HAS to be a way... Right?
Well, I managed to get it rooted without using an SD card. Then I installed Acer Recover, but it's still looking to install an update from the SD card, which it can't see. When I go into Clockwork recovery and try to flash that way, it finds an update.zip at /SDcard/update.zip. I thought if I could replace that file, it could do the trick...but I can't find it using my computer.
This is driving me insane? Any other thoughts for how I can do this without a working SD card reader in the tablet?

Yes. In CWM you will have to mount the USB stick though. Then you can flash from the stick drive. (not capable in the original version of CWM)
I also remember Thor at one time, made it possible to flash from internal memory, but not sure If I remember correctly.
I would suspect after you get running again with a real rom, your SD card will probably start working again. They may have it disabled for demo purposes.
I would just install one of the 3.2.1 customs instead of messing with the update.zip. They were designed to run from SD card. Till you get that issue fixed, I would run custom. You can get a stock rooted 3.2.1 in the dev forum.
Format your Ext SD to FAT32 on your pc after you get up and running.
MD
EDIT: One more thing. "IF" you install a plain STOCK 3.2+ rom, (a non-pre rooted stock rom) you will lose your CWM recovery and root. And the process to "roll-back" is a bit of a pain. Not impossible, just more steps again.
I need a stick to give it a shot, but fingers are crossed. Appreciate the help. I'll report back....

I believe in the newer CWM, you have to mount the USB in Mounts and Storage. Basically I think it switches between EXT SD and USB Storage. Never used it myself, but the option is there.
Also, you can install a zip from internal memory as well in the newer versions of CWM.

In this version, I have the option to mount USB...I'm hoping that does the trick...because it was tough enough to find a root method that didn't involve the MicroSD slot.

Crap. There has to be a way to get a working ROM on this thing. When I had my DroidX, I could flash through my PC.
Anyone have any thoughts?

As I thought. The original.
Dude, You need to run AcerRecovery Installer. Install the newer CWM.
Hey guys,
Firstly, if this is the wrong place to post I am really sorry!
My problem is, I bought an HTC HD2 it works great and I am currently running Android 2.3.7 from my SD card which is great.
However, I have only a few apps downloaded; Facebook, Twitter, Gmail etc... But I am not able to update them as the phone says there isn't enough room on my phone?
I was wondering;
Am I able to move the applications on to the SD card so that there is plenty of room for updates? (I've barely used 1gb of 8, on the SD card)
Or is there an alternative way? I have deleted a load of rubbish off to try and make room but it keeps coming up with the notification 'There is insufficient room' etc... My Facebook is so out of date and slow its painful!
PLEASE HELP!
Cheers,
Mouunt
You need to increase the size of your data.img so you will have more storage space. Here is a link to how to do this, but it is for Linux so if you do not use Linux you can just make you a live CD or a bootable USB flash drive of Ubuntu just Google them to get info on how to do this. This will allow yu to use Ubuntu with out having to install it and it works much easier and better than in a vertual machine.
Now you can do this on Windows too but to be honest it has been a long time since I used a SD card ROM so I do not remember off the top of my head and I can not find a guide to point you to, sorry about that. But if you have to much trouble just contact me and I you can upload your data.img and I will resize it for you and then re upload it for you. I run Windows and Ubuntu on my laptop.

Thanks for the reply man!
Ummm, I'm a bit confused. With the link you attached which .img am I looking to download? And where do I put it? Within the ROM folder on the SD card?
Sorry I am new to this, but willing to learn!
Cheers

You will have to take and either use the the USB mass storage function in Windows Mobile or use a USB SD card reader to copy the data.I mg file to your computer. Now like I said before it has been a long time since I used a SD card ROM so I do not remember the exact location you will find it but it will be in one of the folders that Android makes on your SD card when you first boot it up. Once you have the data.img copied to your computer follow the guide to make it bigger and then copy it back to the same place you got it from and replace the old data.img with it.
