After 2 days of testing i think i have a clean solution to fix the mobile data drain by setting the preferred network mode to 1 (GSM only). No need to delete or rename anything. Just update the db that is already there .
You need a rooted device for this.
Extract the sqlite3.zip and push to your device with the following commands:
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
adb push sqlite3 /system/bin
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/sqlite3
adb shell
su (to gain root permissions)
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update secure set value="1" where name="preferred_network_mode"'
reboot
I'll give this a try. Thanks
Edit: Is it possible I can do this on the device without adb? Adb doesn't want to detect my tablet with debugging enabled.

Sure, as long as you have some sort of terminal emulator installed.

with root explorer and a terminal app (eg connectbot) you can do it.
What exactly does this do? Is it the same result as renaming the phone and telephone apks?

Thanks! Mine is done. I'll report back later after I charge and give it a go.

This updates the database configuration setting that causes the phone to not to look for 3G networks only 2G (GSM which includes GPRS and EDGE). I'll let the OP elaborate more, but this config change must reduce the battery usage by causing the phone and telephony services to chill out out a bit when in standy mode.

couldn't describe it better
2g = only poll cell if request is made that needs cell, 3g = poll all the time, which means that if you change to only 2g then it should not check for cell if you are in wifi range.
I am sure thats how the tech works if i remember my time at nokia right LOL
is there a post around here to explain how to get ADB working on this thing? i can ADB shell in but i get "operation not permitted" when i try to mount /system as r/w
(yes i'm rooted)
thanks guys
edit: i got permission to mount the /system as r/w but when i try to push the sqlite3 i get "Device not found"
i suppose i can give a little more info
i'm running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit with an administrator command prompt and the newest iconia a500 usb drivers from acer's support site and i have my SDK up to date
I did this and it doesn't seem to have a big effect. 2 hours on battery mostly in sleep, Display 33%, Cell 31%, Idle 18%, etc.
Richard:
Just out of curiosity (Yes, I fully acknowledge I should have done something like "select * from secure where name='preferred_network_mode'" beforehand! ) what is the default value of "preferred_network_mode" before this modification sets it to "1"?

It's not about what your stats say, but what your mA drain is. i loose only a couple of % in a night (sleep).

I am getting the same error; I also am rooted, running ADB from Windows 7 (and Mac OS X - tried both, same error). I also have latest drivers, and latest ADB.
I get "operation not permited error." Did you have any luck on getting further?
try this instead as a work around:
adb push sqlite3 /sdcard/sqlite3
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# cp /sdcard/sqlite3 /system/bin/sqlite3
# chmod 6755 /system/bin/sqlite3
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update secure set value="1" where name="preferred_network_mode"'
# reboot
I've never been able to use root level adb cmnds with this device from outside the adb shell env, I think you need to update the default.prop, but this gets overwritten on reboot, I'm sure there is a way to fix this, and has proabably been discussed in another thread I've been too lazy to go find lol.

should i flash it. i dont have root
WOW! i cant believe no one has replied to you.
if you take a look at the first post with the topic
[ROM] Official AOSP 2.2 OTA
but you mentioned you dont have root. so try installing alogcat from the marketplace and capture the whole deal. then you can email directly from the app.
logcat isnt going to do much, it prefetches the files, need to pull the update.zip from adb
ok, so i havnt gotten the notice yet.
but need a bit of help prepping for when i do.
i have the android sdk installed on my desktop, and can create a virtual device etc...
but when i open the cmd prompt and try to run adb devices it says it is populating a list but i see no results or no file created.
so i tried just running adb logcat and it stops at waiting for device.
any pointers. im running win7x64 ultimate
well, i screwed it up. i removed the usb drivers and set it to debugging mode and got it working.
so i am able to run adb shell etc...
once i get the notice ill be ready to do an adb pull
adb shell
su
cd /cache/
ls
adb pull /cache/<package_name>.zip .

you should get that by running su then "cd /cache/ ; ls"
right now i have
download-1.apk
downloadfile.apk
recovery
lost+found
so after it is precached i run that "cd cache/ ; ls" i should have another file or two in there
that would be the file you run adb pull /cache/*.*
a tad bit of help, as a test i am trying to do
adb pull cache/downloadfile.apk d:\
but i get
remote object 'cache/downloadfile.apk' does not exist
i also tried adb pull /cache/downloadfile.apk d:\
and get the same.
edit:
tried doing a adb push
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push d:\test.txt /cache
failed to copy 'd:\test.txt' to '/cache/test.txt': Permission denied
so i dont have permission to put anything there, which means i likely dont have permission to pull from there
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb pull /cache/downloadfile.apk d:\
remote object '/cache/downloadfile.apk' does not exist
so i opened another cmd prompt and and did an adb shell
su
and i am su
so while the other window was open and i was su i tried the same commands again and got the same results.
edit2:
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell ls /cache
opendir failed, Permission denied
so it is definately a su/permissions issue.
Are you rooted? If not use Universal Androot.

Here do this:
First if you have root, open up terminal or cmd prompt if you are on windows:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount yaffs2 /cache
chmod 777 /cache
that will change the permissions allowing for read and write.
Now exit out of shell and just adb pull /cache/
That will pull everything out of the cache partition.
BAM!!! perfect!
i new it was permissions related. just couldnt figure out the "mount -o rw,remount yaffs2 /cache" part. might i ask you to break that down for me? at least the yaffs2 part.
thanks!
so once the update hits i am ready to grab the files.

So the YAFFS2 part of the code I put up there is designating the file system in which we are reading/writing.
YAFFS2 is the most popular and widely used format for flash memory.
please allow me.
yaffs2 is a filesystem type. /cache is of course the directory. -o is for option.
rw: read/write
remount: remount /cache again with new option.

Oh yeah and BTW, you can change the permissions back if you want after your done, otherwise I believe you can just reboot the phone and it fixes it, not entirely sure, I was trying to rewrite my default.prop to get adb remount to work with stock 1.6 rooted, but I am getting and access denied issue.
perfect was about to ask what the -o was but i tried mount --help and mount -h both resulted in nothing. then you reply sharpt71
thanks again all.
i am now ready to pull the update and upload once i get the update. hopefully soon!
Rather than the remounting and chmoding so you can adb pull.
You could probably get away with
Code:
su
cp /cache/<whatever> /sdcard
Then mount the SD card or put it in a card reader.

You probably could I just know that this is a sure fire way to grab everything in cache directly to the machine, otherwise if you aren't next to a machine you could probably do a copy like you said.
My 2nd update failed, do you guys think the files are still in my cache?
Hi Guys,
I have just gotten Wifi Ad Hoc connection working in the Samsung 10.1v (don't see why it won't work on the 10.1 either)
You need to have adb installed and your Tablet needs to be rooted.
I used 2 threads as reference for making this work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069569
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033314
As a newbie to this i will show you what i did, maybe someone can clean up the process with a simple approach:
You need to turn on Airplane mode to disable wifi, or you will get an error when trying to copy the wpa_supplicant file later on in the instructions...
I had trouble with the adb push command (shown in the above threads) so I did this instead.
Unzip and copy wpa_supplicant file (attached) to Tablet (I used downloads directory)
Get ES File Explorer from Market
Open ES File Explorer and in settings menu select Root options.
Set Root Explorer and use HiAPK
Then Tick Mount File System, then exit menu and navigate to /system/bin and copy wpa_supplicant to somewhere safe (I made backup directory in storage/ sd memory)
Now copy new wpa_supplicant file from where you saved it (downloads directory) to /system/bin
Now in windows command box type:
adb shell
# su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
# chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
# exit
Now reboot and turn off airplane mode and enjoy.
Usual conditions if you follow this and something bad happens please don't blame me i used the above method (with trial and error) which worked for me (but maybe i just got lucky)
Also I want to acknowledge the hard working devs that pioneered the process and created the file - great work!!
Good luck...

what about the usage of battery after install that wpa_supplicant.conf
Because i used to transfer a similar file like wpa_supplicant.conf to help my samsung Galaxy S i9000 to connect the adhoc WIFI. The usage of battery is horrible, I charged my phone whole night and there is no more battery remaining next morning
I will keep you posted, but been using it on ad hoc for a couple of hours now and nothing out of the usual. Battery seems just same as on wifi.
I will leave it on overnight and report back tomorrow
Sent from my GT-P7100 using XDA App
OK well it has been connected all night to Xperia x10 running barnacle no issues downloading through swarm bittorrent client.
Battery was 78% now at 58% so I would see this as acceptable.
Only 1 issue I have noticed, every time you connect to ad hoc it asks for password and adds it as new connection, so you end up with a few in the list but hold on old connections and 'forget' works fine

woooo! Wonderful!
I had used the ad hoc wifi and knew that issue already. Anyway, thank you for remining!!
Maybe something should do with the usage of battery, because there is 20% drop during the whole night.........
well, in that case, my cellphone cannot tolerate it
just installed the JuiceDefender app on my 10.1v.
before that, the wifi/3G standby overnight will consume about 10% of battery.
after installing it, and the night more, it went down by 4%.
2nd day of using it and battery life SEEMS better.
I created a zip flashabile on recovery, we'll post it and put it in the first thread?

10.1v /unlocked / rooted / cwm 4.0.0.4
Edit: Just saw the manual push method above. It will just be so much easier if the flashable version would work.
pushed to system/bin w/ root explorer and edited permissions with RE too.

I have exactly the same issue. I did this same procedure on my galaxy tab (the original 7" one) and it worked great. Replacing the wpa_supplicant file on my galaxy tab 10.1 has the connections work for 10 seconds and then drop. Incidently, I find this is true for all connections (ad-hoc and regular). Switching back to the original file fixes this. I've played around with the config file in /data/mis/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and added ap_scan=1, but I've had no luck. I have the 16 GB retail version. My version also had a locked bootloader. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben
I don't seem to have this problem of wi-fi disconnecting on my 10.1v. So far working perfectly with Connectify, even when the device has screen off, connection seems to persist - I did select never switch to mobile data from settings. I don't know how long it will stay connected though, haven't done a time test yet.

My tablet is wifi only. Perhaps this is the issue. Has anyone gotten this to work who has a wifi only tablet (retail edition)?
does not work...
Left the tablet aside for an hour. I unlocked the screen, and instantly opened the web browser. The connection was working. So maybe it does have something to do with 3G connection even though it is turned off. I am using Connectify (free version) on my notebook.
Just thought of something. I have juicedefender set to turn off 3g when my phones screen turns off. This could cut connectivity without dropping wifi signal. Will test theory tomorrow...

Well this was a bit of a mess!
Firstly updating:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043349
http://phonedock.net/huawei-ideos-s7-froyo-2-2-2-update.html I followed this nice writeup. Be sure to delete the log file in dload for the second round of the upgrade as your device might, like mine, just blink on and off for a while trying to flash what it thinks it finds is already flashed but what just gives an error!
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...uawei-ideos-s7-official-firmware-2-2-2-a.html Links to 2.2.2 Brazil which is the best for the 101 apparently, some tests done in that post on which rom work best for which model.
Now,
REMOVE YOUR SDCARD IF ANY! AND REBOOT THE DEVICE ! THIS HACK RELIES HEAVILY ON HIGH STRANGENESS AND SPOOKY ACTION AT A DISTANCE!
Originally i though modifying an ol doroot.sh script to using the psneuter exploit from SuperOneClick i would manage to root the device. Not without some fuzz, no. Firstly i discovered "cp" and many basic fileutils im used to in the world of *nix was missing from the 2.2.2 image kindly provided by Huawei ( The Norwegian Telenor image i might add that the camera on a model 101 will not work with!) so i found an easier way! push push push!
Here's what i did, for convenience ill try making it a script, but be prepared to copy these commands manually instead! For windows simply remove the ./ and add .exe .
Now, to make this work, simply get SuperOneClick from http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2 and unzip, i used the adb from the google android sdk, but i guess the adb binary that comes with SOC is a simpler route if your just in for a quick root fix. Simply rename the appropriate adb for your system and use this method.
The simplest thing to do i guess is to copy Exploits/psneuter or gingerbreak to the ADB folder (in SuperOneClick's folder) and go on from there, also copy su-v3 (rename it to su) and Superuser.apk from "Root/" to the folder (ADB), or if you choose to, rewrite this "script" with the appropriate paths. Im unsure if the following script will work in every case, so you might want to do it manually, but most should get the drift, if you are not comfortable with this procedure you probably have no business or reason rooting the device in the first place. Disclaimer; if this bricks your device don't blame me, this is a fact of "it worked for me", your results may differ.
Be sure to set your USB mode to "Developer" mode
AND BE ROOT ON YOUR MACHINE!

Rooting S7 using Gingerbreak
Just too inform you. I've just succesfully rooted the Indonesian 2.2.2 running on a
S7-105 using Chainfire's Gingerbreak v1.2.
Cool, theres a gingerbreak exploit in the superoneclick package also, i tried that after i though psneuter didnt work, just a matter of replacing psneuter with gingerbreak. Did you use this method though or did you find some other way?
I didn't change or replace anything. My terminal skills are not on a level to have the guts anyway.
I simply updated from S7V100R001C43B010 to S7v100R001C98B021.
Then ran the Gingerbreak 1.2 exploit.
Interesting, yeah the gingerbreak exploit will work, when i wrote the fist post i used the gingerbreak exploit instead of the psneuter one thinking psneuter didnt work, turns out it did though and i went back to that one as its designed for 2.2.2, didnt know of this wrapper though, thanks!
Just granted su superuser permissions on the Australian s7
Great work. Just noticed a missing final quotation mark:

Well this was a bit of a mess!
Firstly updating:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043349
http://phonedock.net/huawei-ideos-s7-froyo-2-2-2-update.html I followed this nice writeup. Be sure to delete the log file in dload for the second round of the upgrade as your device might like mine just blink on and off for a while trying to flash what it finds is already flashed but what just gives an error. !
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...uawei-ideos-s7-official-firmware-2-2-2-a.html Links to 2.2.2 Brazil which is the best for the 101 apparently, some tests there on which roms work best for which models also.
Now,
REMOVE YOUR SDCARD IF ANY! AND REBOOT THE DEVICE ! THIS HACK RELIES HEAVILY ON HIGH STRANGENESS AND SPOOKY ACTION AT A DISTANCE!
Originally i though modifying an ol doroot.sh script to using the psneuter exploit from SuperOneClick i would manage to root the device. Not without some fuzz, no. Firstly i discovered "cp" and many basic fileutils was missing from the 2.2.2 image kindly provided by Huawei (Norwegian Telenor image, that i might add, the camera on a model 101 will not work with!) soo i found an easier way! push push push!
Heres what i did, for convenience ill try making it a script, but im making it as i type this post so this is untested as a script(!) Be prepared to copy these commands instead!
Now, to make this work, simply get SuperOneClick from http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2 and unzip, i used the adb from the google android sdk, but i guess the adblinux binary that comes with SOC will work just as well, simply rename it to adb and use this method. The simplest thing to do i guess is copy Exploits/psneuter to the ADB folder (in SuperOneClick's folder) and go from there, also copy su-v3 (and rename it to su) and Superuser.apk from Root to the folder (ADB), or rewrite this "script"/collection of commands i used" with the appropriate paths. Im unsure if the following script will work as is as i said, so you might want to do it manually, but most should get the drift, if not you probably have no business or reason rooting the device in the first place. Disclaimer; if this bricks your device don't blame me, this is a fact of "it worked for me", your results may differ.
Be sure to set your usb mode to Developer mode
BE ROOT!

Great! Thanks! Ops, yeah missed that, fixed now, thank you for pointing that out. I haven't spent much more time on this. the pad has pretty much been untouched since i moved house. I would like to make this easier for less technical inclined here but its just a matter of replacing ./adb with adb.exe if your on windows. Besides, i don't want to be at fault for bricking someone. And maybe i could write some simple application for installing Gnu/Linux as well, ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109730 ) but that will have to wait until someone bribes me or hits me over the head i guess.
tell me how you did it. i have a s7 - 105 too. please tell me the full tutorial, beginning to the end. cause i'm new to this android stuff. please..

I have bricked my device when I tried to copy framework-res.apk to the system folder. I renamed the old framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak but before I could paste the new one the phone freaked out and rebooted and now I'm stuck at the ATT white screen. I have adb access though so I'm hoping I can just push the framework-res file using adb. Every time I try this though I get an error saying file system is read only. I know all I probably need to do is get the computer to mount system as read/write. I just don't know how to do this. Is there anyone out there who can help me out?

You may need to do:
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 777 /system/framework
Thank you for your quick reply. I'm kind of a novice when it comes to adb so bear with me, but when I use those commands I get 'mount' is not recognized as an internal or external command. I'm not sure if it matters or not but I'm running windows XP and my working directory is in c:\android-sdk\platform-tools when I tried executing "mount -o remount,rw /system".
Okay I tried changing the command to "adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system" now I get the error mount operation not permitted. I hope this doesn't mean I borked it. . . Also want to note that I did root the phone.

You need to do some reading before you go any further - please. ADB is a command shell, and the commands he gave you are for running IN ADB after it's successfully connected to the phone.
There are lots of good writeups on using ADB all over the place.

You need to get INTO the shell first -- then execute the commands.
Also, always stop the system before modifying stuff, especially framework!
like so:
Code:
> [B]adb shell[/B]
$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]mount -o rw,remount /system[/B]
# [B]stop[/B]
# **[I]cp or mv whatever here[/I]**
# [B]reboot[/B]
your cmd prompt will return after reboot

I know believe me when I say I'm trying to read as much as I possibly can. Nobody wants this phone fixed more than me. It's just alot of new stuff and I'm not entirely familiar with it. I think I'm connected with adb and started a shell using "adb -s myserial shell". I input the first command and got "mount: operation not permitted". Not really sure why it would say that considering I rooted the device.

Be sure to follow gwbard's directions a little closer. The first command inside the ADB shell is "su" which will elevate you to root - this will be necessary in order to execute the "mount" command.
From your command line (assuming in Windows), you'll run the "adb shell" command that gwbard showed. It should give you a prompt that ends with a dollar sign. Once you execute the "su" command, you'll see that change to a pound/hash sign (#).

Dude you are the man! That did the trick. I really appreciate it. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what a shell is and how that ties into adb but I learned a good bit about it from today. I've used linux before and I have heard of a shell but never really understood what exactly it was. Anyways thanks again for everyone who helped me get this working.

When you click "start" and type "cmd", you're starting a shell. They're command interpreters that extend functionality in specific ways. like "dir" for the Windows/DOS command shell, and "su" or "mount" for adb. Lots of good writeups on that around too
It took some doing, but after following the instructions in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559915
I was finally able to root my Nook Glowlight. The instructions are kind of sprawled out and extremely unclear so I will sum up.
As always, you will need the ADB. In order to install the ADB, you need the Java Development Kit and the Android Studio (formerly known as the Android SDK)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html
How to obtain root via ADB: The ONLY way you can root is using Windows. I was successful on Windows 7 32 bit, but it may be possible on other versions.
step 1) install bootloader driver.
You need to grab the drivers from here (bnusbdrivers.zip):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49665945&postcount=279&nocache=1&z=184593200683593
then, open the Device Manager (on Windows). Be ready to right click on the new device 'omap3660' that shows.
With the nook turned completely off, plug in a USB cable. you will have less than 3 seconds to right click the new omap3660 device that shows up in the system profiler.
If you were successful and you right clicked on it in time, manually install the Barnes & Noble USB driver (there are entries added to the generic Google drivers for both the TI Omap 3660 bootloader and the ADB device after you modify the uRamdisk later on)
***NOTE***
If you WEREN'T successful on your first try (took me THREE times to get to it in time), you aren't going to get another chance to install the drivers. At least not easily anyway, because after Windows tries to automatically install the drivers for the bootloader and fails, it will disregard the device any time it shows up after that. So, you are going to need to delete the registry entries that it created, which in my experience was easier said than done. Even admin access was not sufficient to make the necessary changes to the registry.
You will need to launch regedit.exe using another tool called psexec which is available here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx
after you download the pstools package, copy those .exe files to C:\Windows\System32\ (in order to add them to $PATH in cmd.exe)
Then, once you've installed the pstools commands to C:\Windows\System32\, run cmd.exe as admin (right click it and select 'run as administrator') and then open regedit.exe with the following command
Code:
psexec -s -i -d regedit.exe
Then, once regedit is open you need to find the keys created by the Nook bootloader and delete them. The Nook bootloader's device ID is 0451:d00e
You are going to be looking in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Current Control Set\enum\usb\ for the keys with the bootloader's device IDs. There may also be keys generated in control set 001 and 002 as well. Delete all of those keys and then reboot your computer. Then with the nook power off completely, repeat the process from the first step. eventually you will be successful installing the bootloader driver.
Step 2) temporarily boot with uRamdisk-noogie
you need to download omaplink.exe from here:
http://www.temblast.com/android.htm
and you also need to download the four files which allow you to temporarily mount the boot partition; omap3_aboot.bin, u-boot-ng2-exp-v03.bin, uImage-ng2-130-stk and uRamdisk-noogie.
They are available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49779966&postcount=285
download usbboot-ng2-images-noogie-v1.zip
The next part is easy.
Extract the .zip file and then fire up cmd.exe. cd into the directory of the newly extracted .zip
in the new working directory, enter the command
Code:
omaplink omap3_aboot.bin u-boot-ng2-exp-v03.bin uImage-ng2-130-stk uRamdisk-noogie
Then, with the Nook powered all the way off and omaplink running, plug it in and a few seconds later, after the device boots up all the way, you will be looking at the contents of the boot partition instead of the internal storage like normal.
Step 3) Edit uRamdisk
you will need to download bootutil.exe from here
http://www.temblast.com/android.htm
copy bootutil.exe to C:\Windows\System32
with the boot partition mounted, copy uRamdisk to your computer and extract the files init.rc and default.prop, eg;
Code:
bootutil /x /v uRamdisk init.rc default.prop
then using notepad++ (available here: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) edit the files as follows
default.prop
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=1
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1
and
init.rc
comment out lines 375 and 392-399
(do this by adding a # to the beginning of the line)
uncomment line 215
(do this by deleting the # at the beginning of the line)
save both files and then repack them into uRamdisk
Code:
bootutil /r /v uRamdisk init.rc default.prop
copy uRamdisk back onto the Nook, eject the disk and power off the device. Reboot and you should be able to connect to ADB via WiFi
eg;
Code:
adb connect 192.168.0.10
replacing '10' with whatever IP your Nook is grabbing from your router.
Step 4) Full Root
at this point, you have root access via ADB only. You will not have root access in any apps like Root Explorer, Terminal, TiBackup, etc.
In order to finish PROPERLY rooting your Nook, you need to install 'su' to /system/bin/ and install the superuser.apk
Code:
adb connect 192.168.0.10
adb shell mount -o remount, rw /system
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
adb install superuser.apk
reboot your device one more time and then you will be fully rooted.
*** Note ***
this devices firmware seems to be a strange hybrid between donut and eclair, although it purports itself to be Android 2.1. The Superuser.apk and su binary came from an old Cyanogenmod 4.6 build in case anyone was wondering (Android Donut). The ones from Cyanogenmod 5 (Android Eclair) do not work. you will get the 'install failed older sdk' error.
installing busybox
I tired installing busybox by using the stericson busybox pro.apk. It would always freeze at 6.47%.
I figured out that if I grabbed an older version of the busybox binary and pushed it to /system/xbin manually and then chmodded it to the proper permissions, auto updates and proper symlinking work using the busybox app
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount, rw /system
adb shell mkdir -p /system/xbin
adb push busybox /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/busybox
adb install busybox.apk
Then reboot, and run the busybox app to update and create symlinks.
enjoy!
installing nano and bash
Code:
adb connect 192.168.0.10
adb shell
mount -o remount, rw /system
adb push nano /system/xbin/
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/nano
adb push bash /system/xbin/
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/bash
bash
mv /system/bin/sh /system/bin/sh.bak
ln -s /system/xbin/bash /system/bin/sh
chmod 6755 /system/bin/sh
adb push profile /system/etc/
adb push terminfo /system/etc/
and then in terminal emulator under 'Preferences' change the initial command to
Code:
export TERMINFO=/system/etc/terminfo;export TERM=linux;export HOME=/sdcard;
and finally
Code:
adb push bashrc /sdcard
adb shell
mv /sdcard/bashrc /sdcard/.bashrc
exit
nano works just fine via ADB, but because of lack of 'ctrl' key (and physical buttons to assign it to) you won't be able to write files (ctrl+o) using the terminal on your nook. But between having full proper root access, busybox, a proper bash terminal emulator and nano for editing config files, this should REALLY extend the usefulness of your Nook Glowlight. It should work just fine on other versions of Nook too.
Hi N00b-un-2,
Many thanks for your summary!
There is one important edit that I think you missed,
in init.rc you also need to:
Line #375, comment out "disabled" with a # at the start of the line.
(see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49070213#post49070213)
without this I couldn't get adb to connect.
And since you already made it very noob friendly, might I suggested you clarify:
Line #215 remove # to enable adb over wifi
(rather than search for 5555)
Also, I'm not expert, but I believe the commands to get superuser on the device are (at least it worked for me):
adb connect 192.168.x.x
adb shell mount -o remount, rw /system
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
adb install superuser.apk
Finally, I'm not sure if this is important, but maybe remount system as read only again:
adb shell mount -o remount, ro /system
Thanks again, nice work!

Hi again,
had similar issues with installing busybox, here's what worked for me (note needed to run su to create dir):
adb shell mount -o remount, rw /system
adb shell /system/bin/su
adb shell mkdir -p /system/xbin
adb push busybox /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/busybox
adb install busybox.apk
cheers.
As far as remounting /system as ro, I would HIGHLY recommend just rebooting at this point, otherwise your nook might be stuck in a weird pseudo-rooted state. Probably won't cause any problems, but why risk it?
Thanks for clarifying the line number. I will make the appropriate edits to my instructions. I was working off the top of my head and couldn't remember what exact line the ADB over TCP config was, as I just used ctrl+w '5555' to find it myself.
There are several pre-edited uRamdisk images floating around the forum with various features enabled which would be easier for noobs than extracting the config files and manually editing and then repacking them. In the future I'll probably throw those on here as well.

Sorry for the really noob question, I have rooted, wifi adb running and installed apps as per your instructions, but I can't seem to access any of it on the nook. How can I get access to the launcher I installed?
You mentioned pre-edited images, do any of those come with the apps I need to get access to a custom launcher?
Cheers,

Updated: All sorted

For some reason had some issues with ADW launcher, Launcher pro worked fine.
ps I think I made a mistake with the su step I suggested, if you run a one line shell command I don't think it keeps su privileges, so I believe you need to run commands within the shell as per below:
adb shell
mount -o remount, rw /system
/system/bin/su
mkdir -p /system/xbin
exit
adb push busybox /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/busybox
adb install busybox.apk

Before you perform the adb connect step you need to find out what your IP address is:
On your nook, click on the settings icon in the top right corner and then select "Change"
Under Wireless Networks, select the wifi name that you are already connected to (where it says "Connected to the internet")
This will display your connection details, remember that IP address
Now go back to your pc and type:
adb connect [IP address]

BIG HINT! If you're using Powershell ISE, you have to type .\adb.exe connect [IP address] or else it won't recognize "adb" as an executable!
Don't ask why, because I don't know. :?

Don't ask why, because I don't know. :?

I just gave a little tip on Powershell ISE. I do not know much about the Nook GlowLight rooting process, as I have a NSTG, not a NG. Ask someone else.

But that's okay! What I said was, if you are using the command program Powershell ISE, do it that way instead. But you are just using cmd.exe, not Powershell ISE!
In cmd.exe, which is what you are using, it is not neccessary to type .\adb.exe. Just type adb.
From there, ask someone else in this thread.

I prefer to use ConEmu or Console2 when I am forced to use Windows. Not a big fan of CMD.EXE or Powershell/PowershellISE. there are plenty of other CLI alternatives out there

Well, as I ONLY use Windows and Powershell ISE has a nice-enough layout for my purposes, I use it. That's why I gave a tip on it.
Actually on a lot of installs just typing adb in the command console won't work either unless it's got the path variable set up correctly, I find it easiest to just right click and choose run as administrator, no need for the path to be setup.

Hi guys,
thanks for creating this thread. I was wondering if this rooting procedure was tested with the firmware 1.2.1 ?

This rooting procedure is for the new Nook GlowLight with firmware 1.3.1. Your device is a Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight, which can be rooted very easily using the rooting package here.
