Very suddenly youtube stopped working on my NC, tried to use astro to uninstall but no joy. The app just shutdown when it goes to launch; any info on a fix is appreciated.
This solution was posted by Bimboy in these forums. My youtube tends to go wacky every once in awhile and this fix works every time.
From the Market, download Titanium Backup (Free in the Market)... You may already have it installed, if so, skip this part.
Open up Titanium Backup, it will likely ask for Superuser permissions. Grant it.
If you get a Busybox error, install Busybox from the Market.
Click on the second tab at the top of Titanium, named 'Backup/Restore', and let it populate all of your apps
Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the YouTube app
You'll get a dialog box. Click on the 'Wipe Data' button
Just close Titanium Backup, and you're done. YouTube will work, now that you cleared your user data.
Thank you for the info, i appreciate you taking the time to spell it out for me.
The other thing that made YouTube stop working for me was that I added my account in the YouTube app, which was the same one I used to register my NC. Apparently this seems to be an issue. I cleared the data and I am back working again, but I am not going to enter My Channel again.
I used mini info to wipe data... just wanted to add that in case anyone wanted an alternative
I have also noticed that I have to do the TB "wipe data" fix every time the phone boots up. This has been annoying with the random reboots that happen with the NC. Hope there is a permanent fix for this soon.
Does anyone know if there is a way to write a script that could execute this upon every boot?

Not sure about a script, but "Tasker" should be able to do that for you (from the Market). I don't have this issue, but that would be a pain to deal with as many times as I reboot my NC during the day for testing.
I poached the "fix" portion of the script here to fix youtube... It seemed to work fine. In short, I did this:
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb shell busybox rm /data/data/com.google.android.youtube -r
adb reboot
Hope this helps.

I've asked on a separate thread as well...what if i've deleted youtube. I don't see it in the market which doesn't make much sense that i wouldn't be seeing a general app there.... but how do i dnld it again? Hope i don't have to re root the NC.
i've tried to care about you tube. really.
but i can't.
good luck
you tube is in the market and the .apk is posted here a million times. should be pretty easy to find.
i just wipe the data and start over

i just threw together this app for the NookColor. it gives you access to hidden system settings, and allows you to select soft keyboards that are installed.
it's super basic and ugly right now, but i hope it will come in handy. i plan to expand and refine it as time goes on.
when you click the All Settings button, you'll see a list of all the available preference panels. note that some of them don't work. not sure why.
some highlights:
- Development > Auto Mount - turn off usb auto mount
- Development > Manage Applications - uninstall apps, clear defaults
- Battery Use
- SD Card and Phone Storage - shows available space in internal storage
- Testing > Battery Info - status, voltage, temp, etc
- Testing > Battery History
- Testing > Usage statistics
if you find yourself on a screen without a back button, remember that you can swipe left over the notification bar at the bottom, if it's showing.
for info on installing other keyboards, see this thread. basically, you need to copy your keyboard's apk to /system/app and reboot. if you haven't done this before, here's a howto.
new! to enable the non-market apps checkbox, you need to copy this apk to /system/app. if you have 0.1 installed, uninstall it first, then copy 0.2 to /system/app and reboot. this is necessary for the app to have the right permissions to modify secure system settings. the app will still work if you install it the normal way, but you won't be able to use the non-market apps checkbox.
as usual, i accept no responsibility if this messes up your device. use at your own risk.
changelog:
0.2 - added install non-market apps option. apk must be in /system/app to enable this feature. filtered some unusable settings screens out. added some descriptions for the buttons.

Hey, thanks a bunch
keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! Unfortunately it didn't help my keyboard problem because the only keyboard that showed up was "To enable it (the Scandinavian keyboard) go to Settings - Language & keyboard. There you need to check Scandinavian keyboard if it's not checked". So I'm guessin that it's not checked and that the specific settings file (I guess it's like a control panel app in Windows) isn't even there on a Nook. Or is it just not activated that easily?
If I try to launch the keyboard i get "Activity not found". Any idea if there is another setting to activate the keyboard for use?
Very nice work.

see this thread. you have to copy your keyboard apk to /system/app and reboot for it to show up as an option.
Thanks! I actually tried something like that, but couldn't get it copied because of the settings. Gonna try again tomorrow (getting late her in Norway).
new version. read the OP for important instructions.

hold off on installing this app by copying it to /system/app. it seems this might cause your NC to do a factory reset when using any of the bn apps like the library. more info to come when i get a chance to investigate. until then, you can install 0.2 as a normal app.
Ben74, this app is excellent!
Also, I noticed that when NC freaks out and wipes to factory settings, it does not wipe /system. Does this mean that, in principle, your app will allow to keep root (with the Development menu settings)?
Thanks again!

are you saying that you also got a factory reset after installing NookColor Tools to /system/app? after the reset, did you still have root? i did a full reflash of /system and /data after that happened to me, so i don't know.

No, I am not saying that at all.
I am saying that in my unrelated tinkering, I have had wipes that always end up keeping the /system intact. (I suppose they were not of the full-reset-"factory.zip" variety.)
I was simply guessing that if that were the case and your apk survived the "soft" wipe (as I have seen with other apks), then following the ordeal, the NC would still be rooted ... Maybe ...
That would be a cool possibility, no? Not having to go through the initial rooting procedure.

Aha, after reading this post, I understand the context of your question better.
Here is my case: I had done a bunch of work and had NookColor Tools installed as a regular app. After performing some action that involved invoking the NC Home app, I got a message that the Nook encountered some error and will now undergo a factory reset. After the reset, I had to reroot, of course.
The bottomline, in my case, with respect to this discussion, is that the wipe-causing problem occurred while NookColor Tools was not in /system/app folder.
At the moment, I reinstalled everything and this time I put NookColor Tools in /system/app.
Will keep an eye out for interesting developments ...
I see. The factory reset that happened on my NC was the type that only wipes /data. I'm not sure if root would be retained or not. I'm also not certain that the reset I got was related to my app. Has anyone else who installed it to /system/app experienced a reset?
Sent from my NookColor using the XDA app
Ok, thanks for the info. So it seems possible that the reset was due to something else. Has anyone else experienced a reset?
Sent from my NookColor using the XDA app
I've experienced one of these, but before I'd ever installed your app. It was right after I had tried to install the Market/Gmail fix as described by Mister Muffin. Something about an authentication problem, and then, we're going to reset ... no yes/no option, just went ahead and did it.
ok, it looks like the reset i had was probably caused by something else. i have installed NookColor Tools to my /system/app, and haven't gotten another reset so far. please let me know if anyone has any problems when installing NookColor Tools to /system/app.
I hope this helps everyone! I followed the directions for Auto-Nooter particularly the part where it tells you to De-Register your device with B&N. After auto-nootering there did not seem to be a way to relaunch the app that allows you to sync with B&N. Here is how I get re-registered:
Open NookColor Tools
Tap All Settings
Find the options listed "Wireless"
There is 3 options for Wireless, choose the second one in the list.
This will open up the Barnes and Noble starting wizard.
Press Continue with setup, and it will ask you to login to B&N or Create a new account.

I stumbled upon this today too, can vouch that it does work.
Does anyone know why there are multiple "Wireless" entries listed after autonootering in the NookColor Tools?? BTW, there are multiples of some others too.....Thks
If you try each one, they open up different wifi settings menus, one for the quick access from the notification bar, one for the actually settings menu wifi access, and one for the wizard at the beginning.
Does this fix the auto restore that keeps happening ?
If you reregister the device, will it prevent the nook color from auto restoring the software as it randomly seems to do ?

After rooting my nook, I've registered it to my B&N account like normal, but none of my past purchases show up. It just shows 2 books, the 2 nook manuals. Do I need to refresh the list or something?
Congratulations self, you're blind. Just noticed the refresh icon on the Library screen.

I'm a little confused, I do not see any mention of de-registering my nook in the auto-nooter instructions.
How to Use:
Before you begin:
* To update to 1.0.1 you must do a complete wipe.
* You must update to 1.0.1 to use AutoNooter 2.12.25 Instructions Here.
1 You must already have a registered NOOKcolor
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. Do NOT use the NC.
5 You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.
Let's get started:
1 Download Auto-Nooter from here: auto-nooter-2-12-25.img.zip
2 Linux: Unzip and use dd if=auto-nooter-2-12-25.img of=/dev/sdcard
2 Windows: Unzip and use WinImage to "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image" to your SDcard.
2 Windows Alternative: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download
3 Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)
4 Insert AutoNooter SDcard into your NOOKcolor.
5 Plug the USB cable into your computer and your NOOKcolor. (This will boot up the NOOKcolor.)
6 Your NookColor will reboot when it's done.
That was the hard part, now to the simple stuff.
7 Upon boot unlock your screen.
8 At the Android Welcome Screen skip Sign In.
9 Enable Location Services when given the option.
10 Connect to Wifi and launch Youtube from "Extras".
11 Click the Menu button (The one RIGHT of the Up Arrow).
12 Select "My Channel" and Login using your Gmail Account.
13 Exit Youtube and Launch Gmail from "Extras".
14 Sync your Gmail Account and Exit. (If it fails to sync that is fine.)
15 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.
16 Enable Non-Market Installs by running the NookColor Tools App.
17 If your Youtube fails to launch Uninstall and Reinstall Youtube from /data/app
18 Go to Settings > Device Info > SdCard > UnMount > Format
Complete Wipe:
1 8 Failed Boots > Wipes /system
2 Factory Reset > Wipes /data
You must do both of these to completely wipe clean your NOOKcolor.

I have this problem as well. Almost immediately after updating and booting into the pre-rooted 1.1 V2, the Nook reboots and loads the regular 1.0.1 software. None of my previously installed apps show up, but I still have Market (non-working), Rom Manager, and Root. Luckily, I made a recent backup and can get my stuff back, but it's on the 1.0.1 software. I still haven't figured out how to keep 1.1 V2 installed, and I'm not sure if my 950MHz UV/OC kernal 'stuck' either. Someone suggested 'Freezing' Device Manager in Rom Manager, so I'm going to give that a shot.

I have the same problem. Its SO annoying. Constantly back and forth with the resets. I was the one who suggested "freezing" device manager but this is not an acceptable solution. I want to be able to use the B&N store also =/
I've actually decided to give up on this update for now. I'm staying on the 1.0.1 rooted software. Every time I upgrade to 1.1v2 it auto defaults to an older version. "Freezing" device manager did not help.
[UPDATE] So I gave it one more shot. This time I removed all the permissions of any file in system/app that seemed B&N related. Rebooted. Then I used Rom Manager to update to 1.1V2. So far no issues, and I can use the Library feature. I'm still afraid to click the "lend book" and I think I will completely remove it as soon as I figure out how (there doesn't seem to be a matching apk in system/app).

FYI, I found out the random resets are caused by Titanium Backup. When you restore system settings with it, I think the AndroidID gets changed and then it resets. I restored from stock, installed Titanium Backup, restored ONLY the apps NOT data and I'm set.
I can goto the shop or use Lend Me with no issues.

Somehow I do not think this is the issue... Since this is happening to me and I do not even have Titanium Backup. Everytime I turn on Wifi it reregisters my Nook... So frustrating.
I am thinking of purchasing a used NC @ v1.1
Do I simply create or new B&N account? Or is there a de-register -> re-register process? Or is this something that the seller needs to do?

Hard to say exactly what is causing them to hang and close. If these apps are free, have you tried installing the latest version from the Android Market?
When you said, deleted the data, I'm not sure if you're referring to the application specific data or the data partition. A few important areas to erase in troubleshooting the specific applications:
1) Erase the application's data directory under /data/data/<package name>.
2) Erase the /data/dalvik-cache directory.
3) Erase the /cache partition (on most ROMs this wont have an impact, but some move dalvik-cache to this partition instead of the default /data partition)
If those three methods don't work, in addition to uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of the application, the next best step I'm aware of would be to look at the logcat to see the output the applications give when they close.
There is an application the market, aLogCat which makes it easy to obtain a logcat. If you could open the app, let it crash/close and then grab the logcat, it should contain the information necessary to start troubleshooting. If you wanted to post the information back up here, we could take a look and try to help!
Hope that helps!

Based on the small portion of the error messages you posted, essentially two, those are cryptic. Unfortunately, those aren't very general terms or error codes. You'll have to revert to the developer for an explanation.
Perhaps some else on here is familar with that application and can provide more insight but as for general application errors go, I haven't seen those before.
Hope that helps point in the right direction!

I am not rooted, but I did try to root my phone for the sole purpose of getting better battery life. I do not want to wipe anything from my phone! There is a thread about how my attempts at root did not work.
I too have faced the same problem. I had CM7 installed, battery life is terrible. Won't last for a day with minimal use. After i switched to DarkyROM 10.2.2, I was able to use my phone for 1d 12 hours w/o charging.

Ok do this. Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 Then go to How DO I Root and choose the option A. Download that update.zip. Put it on your internal SD as is (don't unzip it and make sure that it the only Update.zip in your internal SD). Boot into recovery mode. Hit Reinstall Packages. It will cycle through, hit Reinstall Packages again. It will run through the cycle, roboot (you might have to reboot it yourself) and BAM!!! You are Rooted. No need to use Superoneclick, it is all right there in that one simple update.zip.
Now that you are rooted, go to market and get app called Battery Calibration (or if you have Clockwork there is an option to wipe battstats but you are having ahard enough time rooting, so lets stick to an easy apk). Install Battery Calibrator, intsall it. It will ask for SU permission, say yes. Plug your phone in and charge up to 100%. Once there hit Calibrate and there you go. You'll notice better battery life. Here is a market link https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImNvbS5uZW1hLmJhdHRlcnljYWxpYnJhdGlvbiJd
Side note: I have had Juice Defender (plus) for almost a year and have had nothing but good experiences with it. Kick in the extra $ and get the Plus (not the Ultimate) and you can configure it on an app by app basis. I can get nealy 30+hours on a single charge with music, XDA, podcasts running almost all day.

I've read it and the other one. Clearly you are not doing something right. I followed the instructions on the Stickie at the top of the forum and was rooted in under 3 minutes.
Looking again at your post, if you have the Superuser.apk, you have root. Wither go into your SU app, click on it and erase permissions, then try Titanium again. Should ask for Root permission. Or go into settings>applications>and find your SU app. Click on it and clear data, then try TB and it shoudl ask for Root permission.
I do have superuser.apk, but im not sure if thats because oneclickroot added it. When I open battery calibrator or titanium backup, they all say i dont have root.
Wipe the data in the su app. This will clear the permissions. The wipe TB data and try again. If yiy have the su app, you should be rooted. Sounds like a permission issue.
I just did the superuser.apk wipe. If I just delete it, will it reinstall? It does sound like its rooted since apps plus superoneclick root both said its rooted. yet, tests for root failed.

Don't delete it as it will NOT reinstall. When you push the Superuser app in your drawer, what happens? Does a list of apps come up? Does anything come up? If a list of apps come up, click on Titanium and a pop up will come up. Hit forget. Then go into Titanium and it will ask for Root permission. Might say it does have it, close out of TB, go to task manager and close it that way. Then re-open it and if it didn't ask for Root permission before, it shoudl now.
When i open the superuser app it doesnt show any apps. just says "No apps listed"

Lets move this over to your other thread since this one is supposed to be about battery issues.
Try to pull another different Root app, like the batter calibrator in and run it and see what happens with it. Does it ask for root permission or not. Did you hit the "problems" button in TB? Do you have current busybox?
Talk to you over there but I am about out of suggestings other than the above or booting into revicery and wipe /cache and /dalvik-cache (not fatory reset/data). Also I have some real work to do so I might be sporatic with my responsed until later on.
so far the only app that recognizes root is battery calibrator. Busybox, TB, and autokiller memory optimizer dont recognize root. super user shows no apps. Im wondering if my phone is even rooted, since after using battery calibrator, my phone has dropped 15% in the last 20 minutes. Nothing is even running on my phone. its just sitting there.
So I used the ACS/Shabbypenguin root method (do a Google search, I can't post links...) and followed the directions exactly. Well almost exactly, I knew of some issues so this is what I did...
First I downloaded Superuser & Superuser Elite (I previously paid for it on a different phone).
Then I downloaded the drivers and Odin and both kernals.
I installed the drivers and put my phone into development mode.
Next, I turned off my phone then turned it back on in download mode and flashed the pre-rooted kernal as per the instructions there.
Finally, I went through the process again to flash in the stock kernal.
Now the other users had issues with USB connection and the phone not being recognised, the answer to that was on page 11 of the above linked thread (editing the vold.fstab file). I did this (using ES Root Explorer) as per the instructions and restarted.
Things seemed fine for half a day. Now my phone randomly restarts, but not always randomly. I can perform specific actions to cause it to freeze and reboot (example, simply opening the vold.fstab file does this EVERY TIME, but I was able to copy/paste it to the SD card and then open and edit it and even copy/paste it back, all using ES root explorer, and no crash/reboot unless I open it specifically and yes, that's with having the system mounted as R/W).
Another thing I noticed since rooting, and it still has maintained the rooted status, is that any time my phone restarts or I restart it, I open the system tray and this stupid "tip" toast message comes up that, prior to rooting, only came up once. Now, it comes up only once after a restart but resets every time.
I tried to sign up for the ACS forums but for some reason, I've not gotten a single registration e-mail from them and messaged half their admin with no response (the fact that the site has no cancel account and no re-send activation option troubles me enough as it is and in my opinion, should be internationally illegal).
Anyway, that's the issue, I need to resolve these random restarts, which may or may not be caused by this vold.fstab file.
Also, I connect now (before when I did the fix, it worked), the computer doesn't recognise the phone so I can't even re-flash using Odin, but the phone works (until randomly restarting which is a pain...), so I am at a loss as to what the actual cause was and since nothing I change sticks when it restarts, I have no idea what the deal is.
Some more information...
Nothing I change sticks. I have programs that I uninstalled, but they still show up in the system tray after a reboot (if I click it, it says that the program is not installed, but it still shows up).
I tried swapping back the original build.prop - didn't stick.
I tried factory data reset - didn't do anything.
I tried a restore in BusyboxPro (stericon or something is the dev) - restored but there were some "errors".
Tried temporarily unrooting (Superuser Elite) - nothing.
I read about a power button issue - my power button is fine.
There is something wrong specifically with the OS in some way that certain actions cause it to freeze and restart. I have a game, "Deathworm" that I can play with no issues or freezes. I can do a few things but:
if I get on the mobile browser, sometimes it will freeze and reboot.
if I run AppManagerPro III, sometimes it crashes when calculating the cache size (always when it gets to 70/125 or whatever the total is, but always at 70 if it DOES crash).
Now I went into task manager and went through and cleared all the app data individually app per app. Before when I tried to do this (before restoring in Busybox, before restoring the original build.prop, etc), it would crash when I went into the downloaded tab of the thing to clear the cache. This time it didn't crash on me.
Other root stuff I have installed which was working before the random rebooting issue:
Script manager (free) and V6 supercharger (also unsupercharging wouldn't stick, which I tried before restoring the build.prop manually)
SuperUserElite
App Manager Pro III
SD Maid Pro
ES File Explorer (free version I think)
BusyBox Pro
SU Update Fixer
Screenshot It
After everything I just did, it seems to (for the moment) be working again, I am just waiting to see if it crashes again. So far I have opened and closed App Manager Pro III a few times and it calculated cache sizes with no crash. Right now, SD Maid Pro hasn't crashed yet open, hide certain tabs (clearing the data so I had to reset those options), close, reopen, scanned with system clean and app clean and actually did the app clean, so far no crashes (my phone would normally have crashed by now), cleared databases and no crash.
Also while I was in there, two programs I uninstalled via the system tray (menu button, edit, uninstall) that kept coming back were a buld.prop editor and some wonkey game (Fall down) or something, anyway those were in the downloaded section of task manager and I uninstalled them through there. Maybe that did it?
And no... still freeze, reboot and not saving any changes.
So far I've also tried uninstalling practically everything I installed and those changes aren't persisting (the uninstalled apps remain uninstalled, but reappear in the system tray or on the home screen if I had an icon there for it).
No changes I make to anything persist except things I save or copy to the SD card.
Tried factory reset again, still didn't stick.
So apparently SOME others have this issue without rooting, I can't tell, there's not a ton of reviews that I can find beyond "F*** STRAIGHT TALK CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS PHONE IS CRAP".
I hate to keep bumping this, but every time I have an issue, I am highly detailed in things and I NEVER EVER have EVER gotten a response EVER on this site, EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
I really really really don't want to waste another ~$200 for nothing.
I would appreciate even a response of "yeah I have this problem too".
I don't want this to die like all the other threads I started...
Does anyone even have a clue as to where I can begin attempting to troubleshoot this on my own then?
What tools should I look into or what logs in what folders?
I know this post is very outdated but there may still be someone tinkering with these older phones still as I am.
Over the past few days I have been trying to get this Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy Proclaim rooted and working just for something to do.
I'm not one to ask for help to often so I end up doing a lot of reading and a lot of trial / error.
In my reading I have seen quite a few posts / comments around the net stating not to use the Shabbypenguin root method
as it is very buggy and unstable.... I can not tell you from experience so please do not quote me. I ended up using the TeamProlusion
root method and all has went very well other than a few minor problems I need to work out.
In all honesty I'm not real sure what I may post or may not.... ( Yes I need to REread the rules for sure ) but I
will leave this link for anyone that may be in need... Mods / Admins please feel free to edit this post if this is not permitted and
please accept my apologies.
