Hi everyone, I've been trying to root my nook2 and I've been over all the steps many times, and I can't achieve ADB over USB or WIFI.
I've used the nooter technique and the device looks rooted, I can log into Gmail and get new mail, but as youtube is blocked in China, I can't login to youtube as i'm supposed to in the process described on nookdevs. (is youtube loging really important?)
I can install apps from the market, but can't use the search field (no results, no matter what I type).
I decided to try adb access from there anyway (before asking for help...), and here's where I'm stuck :
I installed the light sdk combo found here : "hXXp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910008" and followed all the steps
I can connect to the device using wifi ADB, but the shell cmd doesn't get me anywhere (I get a hash mark and an endlessly flashing underscore)
I can't get adb access over USB, because no matter how many times I try uninstalling the basic drivers in the device manager(all of them), they always come back within 5 seconds when I plug the nook (and yes, I seem to have disabled automatic driver update in Gpedit.msc)
when I try to load the adb drivers manually over the preexisting ones it tells me no suitable drivers where found in my *.inf file (or that it already has the best driver for the device)
I've been over everything (apparently) countless times and I'm still stuck.
do you have any idea what the problem could be?
If I had to guess, it's either :
-It's not completely rooted (for lack of youtube login) so it will always be recognized as a Nook and nothing else in the device manager
-the factory defaults nook drivers are lurking somewhere on my laptop and prevail over the adb_usb drivers.
-there is another move to disable automatic drive install in Gpedit.msc which I haven't attempted yet.
Please if you have any ideas... My nerdy ego is absolutely hurt by this and it's begging for relief.
I've been thinking about this, and if I could just set up the android version of astrill directly in the micro sd (directly set up on nooter) I could then access youtube and finish the job properly.
Do you know if it's in any way possible to do that?
I wonder if you'd be able to use Orbot to be able to gain access to Youtube...

Read this, its all contained on my manual tutos, adb is gained just by changing uramdisk, there is one for wifi and another for usb, please, check which one you are using, then, follow this:
Here there is a list of all the tutos:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380400
and here the ones you should read:
Setting up adb manually on the nook touch:
Making the manual process LESS PAINFULL
Setting up root access on NST through adb and installing busybox:
Hope it helps.
For the youtube thing, just set adb correctly (when you get it right) sideload an app to use a proxy, or tor, or anything you like, and try to login on Youtube.
I'm really sorry for not responding to this
I managed to get it rooted in the few days after my post, and I didn't any email notifications of your replies (didn't check on control panel, i'm new here, please don't hurt me )
I found a chinese source for rooting (a seller on taobao.com explained it. The Chinese are quite fond of the nook because it's the only foreign e-reader you can use to read Chinese apparently, and Chinese e-readers are both more expensive than the nook AND crappy.
Anyway I painstakingly translated it and got it to work
what you tell me about the proxy is new to me though, I thought android couldn't run a proxy, that's great news not just for youtube but the zillions of website China blocks and that I could use my nook to check, I'll have a go at it when I get near a wifi network.
cheers
I want do do some development for Firefox OS and I have a ZTE Open C to work on. But I can't unlock the device. I've downloaded the Open_C_upgrade_Tool and run it in serveral environments. I only have a Mac and so I installed Bootcamp with Windows XP but the Upgrade Tool just says scanning for device ... and never finds it! Also tried it with XP running under VMware Fusion - the same result the UpgradeTool just searches for the ZTE and never finds it.
Before I pluged the ZTE to the system via USB I took out the SIM-Card and the SD-Card even tried with only SIM-Card out but again no success.
So can anyone here give any help with this. I read on other post that people had the same problem but there is no answer on this matter ...
And without unlocking my device it's no use to start any project.
Thanks for any help in advance!
Hi,
You can follow this guide to flash a the rooted image on your device (I assume you have an EU version) :
(Warning : not sure if it works on US version)
http://builds.firefoxos.mozfr.org/doc/en/devices/zte-open-c-eu
(and optionally update FirefoxOS with the provided -unofficial- builds)
The best would be to use a real Windows computer, I don't know if it works in a virtual machine for sure. But be sure to install the usb drivers (download link provided in the above guide) before trying to flash.
I have done it on my Open C and now I'm currently testing FxOS 2.1 (aurora)
Hi,
I just had the problem of being behind a Http/Https proxy and there is currently no option available to set this on the fire TV Stick.
Android offers this option at least since version 4 by default but they must have deactivatetd this feature intenionaly (region rights and such things).
But it is still possible.
1. Setup your AFTVS on a normal Wifi with internet connection ( if not already done)
2. Activate Apps from unkown sources and ADB
Settings --> System --> Developersoptions
3. Make sure your are connected to the same network as your pc.
4. Sideload following app:
Code:
AndroidProxySetter:
github.com/jpkrause/AndroidProxySetter/releases
How To sideload:
aftvnews.com/sideload/#more-7959
5. Start the App over adb on your pc:
Code:
//connect to device
adb connect 192.168.1.184:5555
//check the connection
adb -s 192.168.1.184:5555 get-state
//start app
adb -s 192.168.1.184:5555 shell am start -n tk.elevenk.proxysetter/.MainActivity -e host 192.168.56.1 -e port 8080 -e ssid PrivateWifi -e key Passw0rd
Where u would replace the device ip, host, port, ssid and key with the settings of your network.
Please mind that ur on a linux based system and everything is case sensitiv.
For more options look here:
Code:
github.com/jpkrause/AndroidProxySetter
5. Now, if everything is fine some little popups will be displayed and at last it should say connected.
6. Going back to the home screen and Done.
Known issues: After some major updates you will need to set the proxy again, so just repeat step 4
It should also run on the normal AFTV but i got none so i can't test it.
All Credit goes to JPKrause who wrote that little app, I just happend to find it
Update 21.06.2016:
With Fire Os 5.2.1.0 it seems like you cant start adb on the device itself so you have to start the proxysetter over adb on your pc.
This "new" way doesnt require to install the terminal emulator anymore and its actually more comfortable.

Hi,
well I guess the AndroidProxySetter doesn't cover any way to use PAC files.
But you can actually open your pac file with an editor of your choise and extract your proxy settings from the containing functions.

Hello, I have this working on a Fire Stick, I ran the commands on a Fire TV and is not working. Anyone has this working on a AFT (no stick)?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
edit: it not working anymore on my fire tv stick, I see the connection going to the proxy but in the screen it says invalid_geo_ip, somehow they manage to get my original ip. My gf is american, and we are abroad, this was the only way to watch amazon content. Sad. I'll try to get a vpn instead, but this proxy setting was easy configuration.
Hi mastodonian,
in my case it still works like a charm on the AFTVS. I just tried it over a vpn that my home server provides, but the tv stick then says something about geo restriction even though its a german vpn. I suppose they are doing some kind of deep packet inspection or they got an ip blacklist.
Can't say but eventually the proxy you are tring to connect uses internally a vpn or is on a blacklist.

its pretty simple just do the following
Download adblock plus and install it on your firestick - use the power of google or an app store on your fire stick to get it
Download this app to your pc - https://github.com/jpkrause/Android...d/v0.1.3-alpha/proxy-setter-release-0.1.3.apk
Adb this app to your firestick by (assuming you have adb installed if not google howto)
enable adb on the fire stick in dev options if not already done so
adb connect 192.168.1.1 (change the ip address to your firesticks)
adb devices (you should see a list of devices connected if adb is working with your firestick ip address and port number)
adb install (then drag and drop the apk file into the command window - This will auto complete the path of the apk to save you entering it manually)
once the apk is installed
Code:
adb -s 192.168.1.1:5555 shell am start -n tk.elevenk.proxysetter/.MainActivity -e host localhost -e port 2020 -e ssid MyWifiName -e key MyWifiKey
Starting: Intent { cmp=tk.elevenk.proxysetter/.MainActivity (has extras) }
Change the ip address in the above code to your firestick ip address - the numbers after the : is the port address - it should match what you saw when you typed adb devices
Change the ssid to your wifi name and key to your wifi password
you will get some pop up windows on the firestick telling you if it has succeeded or you have errors
next open adblock plus and enable adblocking
restart the firestick
open adblock plus again and you shouldnt see the warning about it cannot manually set the proxy at the top of the screen
load up an adblock test website to test its working
Thank you for making this method clear and easy. However, even though I get the successful messages and the proxy chnages to localhost and the Port to 2020, Ad Block Plus still shows the "please configure manually" message after reboot.
Testing on some apps, the ads are most definitely not blocked!
Any suggestions?
Thanks for malking this app , I just have a problem , netflix connects directly and not through the proxy , any idea how to force connecting through proxy ,
It works perfect
I bought FireStick today and it wouldn't let me connect to Amazon as my ISP has made mandatory to use HTTP proxy.
I followed your step wise instructions and it worked. Thanks a ton
Hello,
Thank you for this! One issue: I'm unable to disable to proxy via adb... is there a specific way to do this? I've attempted to uninstall the apk file and clear data, but it still remains connected to the host.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I actually had to do this myslef recently so what i did was just remove the network via the GUI and add the network again.
If you have to do this over ADB you should try to remove the network and add it without proxy flag

Well I have to clarify i did not make this app i just found it and put it to good use
On the issue i cant really say how to force him using the proxy. This method just configures the android intigrated Wifi network stack that supports proxys since 2.X is suppose. If an app like Netflix detects this, then u need an other method.
For windows i got an app called Proxifier, but until now i didnt find anything similar for android.
Only alternativ solution for your problem I can think of would be to configure your Accesspoint with a VPN on a second virtual network (well that's how i would do it).
Cheers N4b0
Hi All,
-I posted as a guest but didnt see my message, so posting again. sorry if it will be duplicate-
After Fire OS 6.2.1.3 upgrade, this wonderful proxysetter app doesn't seem to work anymore. I tried both 0.1.3 and 0.2 versions and it can not set the proxy.

Not sure if anybody is still interested in this, but I recently uninstalled the apk and was unable to install it again getting the following error: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE]
The solution is simple! The latest version of the FIreTV OS includes a proxy setting!
Just follow Step 1. in the instructions here: Blocked
The original instructions are posted on the Amazon appstore -> Appstore Blogs -> Viewing Secure (SSL/HTTPS) Traffic From Your App on Fire TVs Running Fire OS 6 on November 02, 2018
Since I've been blocked from posting a URL, here are the slightly modified instructions:
Setting a proxy on Fire TV
Bring up the Developer Tools Menu by one of the following two ways:
Remote: 1) Press and hold the Select and Down buttons for five seconds release and then 2) Press the menu button
ADB: adb shell am start -n com.amazon.ssm/.ControlPanel
Select Network Proxy
Select Manual
Enter your proxy IP address
Enter your proxy port
Click Save
Enjoy!
Hi All,
These proxy setting were working for me until the last update on OS 6.x and OS 7.x. The Developer setting app crashes on selecting save on the Network settings and the IP/port info is not saved.
Is someone else facing same issue.. Any work arounds?
Try this. It worked for me.
Use this .apk AndroidProxySetter. Install and follow the commands. It will route Network traffic to Charles proxy.

Hello,
I am a noob in android and windows flashing.So i have only some basic knowledge about android flashing.
I have a Nokia Lumia 535 OS win10. I want to know how to unlock its bootloader and install custom roms in it.I also want to know how to enable usb debugging in my device because its not detected by the adb devices command in cmd when i connect my device to the pc.And also when i connect it using wconnect.exe usb(using a usb cable) and after I enter the pairing key I always get an error which says"Bootstrapping the device(error code 8) so i am not able to connect it to the pc install android apps on it.(I have already downloaded the required files and extracted in into a folder and I have already changed the cmd directory to that folder).I have searched the forum but I did not find anywhere how to fix this error code 8,i,i,bootstrapping the device.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many Many Thanx in advance.
i think Microsoft had stooped working on android in there lumias phone.so lets wait maybe in the next update they will make an easy method to make android apps working on lumias phone with win10.
the device is a remote controller for a drone, I can get the device into developer mode but when I apply farmroot kingroot any root tool a window pops up and says you do not have permission from DJI to do this. so its like a lock
anyone who can help will be great.
I have done come digging about getting root on the Mavic Pro and it is possible there is an FTP 0Day exploit to allow the traversal to the init scripts to enable ADB and Root Shell. Apparently they were also able to get root on the Remotes as well but only by direct manipulation of the ROM onboard.
The Mavic Pro's are running KitKat
I found a nice discussion on Hak5 forums about it. There was also one on the Mavicpilots forums but that one got removed
I did Find an archived copy of it
