NooB here, 1st post, please be gentle
Let me start by saying this forum has been immensely helpful to this lurker.
I'm on info-overload after finding out about the update coming to the NT. NEVER did I plan to root, as I'm the person for whom sideloading was a dicey project. Once I was able to sideload I absolutely LOVED my NT...until now.
What are the odds of bricking if I try to root? What, exactly, happens if you brick? Right now I have my wi-fi off and haven't been updated yet, but I can't keep wi-fi off forever.
What's your best advice for someone who probably shouldn't be playing with root, but is starting to feel cornered?
Extremely low. Watch the videos a few times, print the guide out (if it will help), and have the page loaded. It's not a big deal to do it and once you have you'll laugh at the trepidation that your former self felt.
watch my videos and I will walk you through it. it cant get any simpler. Just make sure everything has power, batteries fully charged and dont disconnect in the middle.
Thanks so much!
Starting to build some confidence here. I will probably have to watch the video 2 or 3 more times before I give it a go. (Yes, I'm lame )
Another Noob question. I have watched the video and feel fairly confident about attempting root. I have however, already sideloaded Go Launcher EX, and a number of other apps. So I already have access to the App menu, Development menu, and Accessibility menu and I can check the USB debugging boxes and un-check the auto mount box. Does this change anything about the order that I do things in the root process?
Great folks on this forum. Thanks for the help.

You still need to do part one for the usb driver walk through. If you have the drivers installed already, just go to part 2
Just to clarify....
Once rooted, the OTA update is blocked by an app that comes with the root? OR, is there a separate procedure after rooting? (Read so much, it's all meshing together.)
Also, how long do I have once I turn the wi-fi back on before the OTA starts? Meaning, how fast does this bumbling NooB have to work the process before BN tries to take it over?
I'm gathering that rooting blocks the ota, but I went ahead and did the sqlite method anyway in addition. It's posted somewhere else in here, just install and open Root Explorer, follow the path that's in the post, and follow the instructions. Like rooting, it only looks intimidating, but most of this is quite easy as long as you follow instructions.
Fotakill doesn't work to block as someone confirmed so I released a proper method to do it and all you need to do is use titanium backup to restore the files.
OK, thanks!
Will I have enough time to root and do the OTA block before BN comes crashing in with the update? I *think* I read there's about 20 mins once you turn on wi-fi, but I know how slow I am.
Only use wiring to download the tgps launcher to be able to install it then disconnect, root, install ota block, reconnect and enjoy.

That makes sense now. Shouldn't be a problem.
THX!
Trying not to panic here:
Got as far as plugging the nook back into the computer to start installing the drivers, but the Nook with broken icon is not showing up. The instructions say to move to another computer....but I don't have one.
What now? What happens if I unplug now?
NM. I *think* I got through it. Waiting for reboot to tell for sure!
Never got a message saying the root was successful.

With the 1.4.1 updated looming, I rooted my Nook last week by following the instructions Indirect created. It was extremely easy and I was enjoying root access. Today my Tablet popped up a message stating that it had updated to 1.4.1. I still have Super User access. The only app that is not working so far is Android Market, it crashes when you open it. I am afraid to restart it though. I don't know what will happen. Has anyone else experienced this?
The market crash today is why i came here nosing around to find the bad news. ( it worked last week as i installed the latest vmware VDI client from the market ) Mine was rooted as well, so i can confirm the same exact symptoms.
Some of my other apps no longer work right, such as video playback from esfile explorer, and button savior's "back" button doesn't seem to do anything now. I also had 2 other apps on the home screen that wont even load their icons now.
same issue here.. updated to the last version.. i didn't tried the methods to prevent the update.. in fact i don't follow enough for this
market is uninstalled or hidden at least
button savior shortcuts for "settings" and "previous" doesn't work anymore, but "home" works.. too bad !
I've been to the B&N community website to help .. let's hope for an update in a better way
I sounds like there were be a follow up update to resolve the side-loading issue that got broken, and probably is responsible for the problems you're experiencing. I hope mine doesn't update. I'm rooted, but also followed the sqlite method.
I hope so too. Please let us know, I am interested if the that method does indeed block the updates. Before I go downgrading and starting over I would like a clear view of what I need to do to block future updates. Thanks.
have done it all and recorded it all. Everything posted by the developers work and I prove it on video. Checkit out. Recovery to 1.4.0 is uploading now and will be on my channel in the morning. OTA block using titanium backup works perfectly.
Try the sideload wonder machine. You need the apk file of the app you want to install on your computer.

Rooting won't stop 1.4.1
Unfortunately even with rooting, 1.4.1 self-installed on one of our NTs.
Unfortunately I sold my Dell Streak 7 a week or so ago.

Rooting won't do anything to stop updates if you rooted before, say, late last night, when the rooting method post was updated to include blocking. So... the title of the thread is not that noteworthy If you did not block bn's update apps, did not do anything to block updates, then yes you will receive updates.
My wife and I both have rooted NT's. I did the fix that Indirect posted where it changes your version to 9.9.9 and my NT did not receive the update so far. My wife on the other was relying on the rumor that having the FOTA.apk would block the update...wrong. She just received the update tonight when she turned the wifi on. So I guess this can confirm that Indirect has a successful method (simplified sqlite) that will block the update.
I got Android Market problem since yesterday though I'm showing firmware 1.40 under device info.
UPDATE:
I did an unroot then root it again, follow Albert's video to block the OTA, ver. shown 9.9.9, everything seems working so far. Thanks Albert & Indirect for their hard work!
My wife's NT updated yesterday despite being rooted as well. I thought the OTA upgrade was supposed to be blocked with the root...Looks like I'm going to try downgrading it right now...
I also saw the link over in the dev forum ( that i cant post in ) for downloading 1.40
Who all has done this and got things back in order? I think that when i got mine i *had* to be on WIFI to set it up, which of course is bad since i will just get the 1.41 update and be back where I'm at now.
If that isn't the case, perhaps a step by step for us borderline newbies to get back to 1.40 + no OTA

Just found that link about 10 mins ago too.. thanks much. i'm trying it now and crossing my fingers.
Seems i got a reply from B&N about my complaint just now .. but all they wanted to do was tell me i can download the free app for my PC to read books.. wtf .. what happened to reading comprehension in customer service ..
Albert, I followed your instruction and video and all works exactly like your video. even down to the nonfunctional n button. Thankfully, the interrupted boot sequence worked. Now I've just gotta fix this force close issue...
Mine is back to normal now yay.. ( i cant edit posts yet apparently )
I did have a problem where the 'revert' to 1.40 was not actually erasing any user data so i had a complete mess of things. But, i was able to go into settings and deregister to get it back to stock. Then got it back to 1.40 and ran the root/etc.
Still miffed at B&N, but at least i no longer have a borderline worthless shiny object.
Here are my thoughts on the Nook Tablet and my rooting process. I try to write to be as friendly as possible for the newbies to rooting devices. This is really just a reflection of my experience with the device and my rooting effort thus far .
If money is no issue, by all means go with the 16GB. But if you really want the best bang for the buck, go with the new 8GB version over the 16. The main difference is the RAM but since we are not talking about a true multitasking device, the extra RAM does little. Even if you root and hack and upgrade and tweak the hell out of it, you'll never really do more than one thing at a time on the device itself so 512MB is usually plenty. I have found that the Nook is the perfect companion device (for references and reading) to go with my netbook (which is the pefect portable productivity device) and my rooted android cell (universal connectivity device with tether hack). Those three things working in tandum mean that I can get online anytime, anywhere, and work comfortably. Now, if I can just find an Android phone that has a battery that lasts for more than 4 hours with the wi-fi/tethering/mobile hostpot turned on.
I have successfully used jichauan89's Root for Nook Tablet 8GB (w/ Android Market) root method number 1 (the SD image). Thank you jichauan89! It was easy and worked great the first time. His procedure...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529553
Here was my specific procedure and thoughts.
Prior to the attempt. Make sure that the device has plenty of battery power or is plugged in the wall adapter. This is a good practice for all rooting/hacking attempts on these types of devices, including cell phones and media players. I backed up the data on my SD card by simply copying all the files to a folder on my netbook's desktop.
Used Sandisk 8GB microSDHC card I had in my old Samsung Captivate. I used the SC card adapter it came with orginally to insert it into the built in SD Card reader in my Windows XP netbook.
Downloaded the SD card image from exactly where jichauan89 described.
Used Win32DiskImage.exe to format and write the image to the SD card. Worked without error. I used the safely remove hardware option in Windows to disconnect the hardware before removing the card from the reader.
Powered off the Nook Tablet 8GB.
Inserted the freshly formatted and imaged SD card into the Nook.
Held the power in until it powered on.
Saw a cardboard box. It reminded me of Amazon's frustration-free packaging.
Waited.
Saw the "Read Forever" Nook logo.
Waited exactly 3 minutes.
Held the power button in until the powered off.
Removed the SD card and set it aside. It's mission is complete.
Held the power button in until it powered on.
Routine booting began.
Upon boot completion, I clicked the n button and selected "search". I searched for "market". It found the Android Market. Don't look for "play". The hack itself uses an old version of the market that will upgrade itself to Google Play after you run it (as long as you are connected to WiFi).
At this point, your device is rooted successfully. Anything else you do is really just gravy. I suggest doing the NT Hidden Settings to allow sideloading and I also suggesting doing the hack to stop updates so that you get to keep all your hard (not really) rooting working in tact if and when B&N rolls out 1.4.3 of the Nook's firmware. Here are the additional steps that I took, again, this is all thanks to jichauan89's simple instructions and the feedback given in his thread. Also note, when I did have issues, I kept reading the thread rather than jumping the gun and posting my own questions. All the answers were already there...
I installed NT Hidden Settings from the market.
I immediately used the hack to allow 3rd party apps. There was some confusion and error here. I ran it a few times and it didn't appear to do anything, but then I pressed the n button once and a super user screen appeared asking me to give NT Hidden Settings rights, which I allowed. I tried the 3rd party hack a few more times to no avail. I rebooted the device and tried and tried and it wasn't working and the check mark on the previous screen for allowing Uknown Sources simply seemed to uncheck itself. I was watching the new episode of South Park on TV and at one point I reran the hack for about the 300th time it felt, a message came up that the app had been given SU rights, and I moved my attention to South Park for several minutes. When my eyes came back to the Nook, I checked the Unknown sources setting again, and it was checked, all by itslef. Lesson, I believe that the 3rd party app hack takes a few minutes to actually do anything after it is granted SU rights but doesn't give any notification that it is successful (or I missed it while grandma was trying to make Butters eat a urinal cake). I believe the app checks the Unknown Sources box itself as a part of its script and all the other times I had run the hack, I was just being impatient. After several reboots, the check now stays.
I then ran the NT Hidden Settings hack to keep updates from being installed. I was notified almost immediately that the installation was successful.
I then installed Go Launcher and HomeCatcher. I got Homecatcher from an XDA forum post and not from the Android Market. After running HomeCatcher, I clicked the n button and selected home and I was prompted to choose between a little andorid guy and the stock nook launcher. I made sure that put a check in the box to make this decision default (which i kind of wish i didn't, but it should be easily undone) and then selected the Andorid icon. Now whenever I select home, it goes to the Go Launcher app, awesome.
I also immediately installed File Expert and Titanium Backup and everything seems to work perfectly.
I then installed the Amazon App Market from Amazon.com in the Nook's stock browser. Every app from their seems to fail and says "SD card required" or some such thing. I am assuming that if I put the SD card back in everthing would work fine, but I'm not sure why this is an issue. Shouldn't it be able to use the Nook Tablet's internal memory? I'll keep testing.
The only thing I'm thinking about now is that I want to find the fastest way to switch back and forth between the stock B&N launcher and Go Launcher. I like B&N's ecosystem, even though it is limited, but I enjoy the advantages I get from walking in the store and getting to read books and even though the user interface of their digital store is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen, I find myself wanting to us it because I support Barnes & Noble a lot and wish them the best. I do, however, wish they would listen to all of us who are *****ing about their Market's limitations and ridiculous pricing and either treat the device more like a tablet like the name implies. But I'm preaching to the choir, right?
Try installing adw launcher, it should break the default status of go launcher, I'm not positive if there is a way to disable it other than that.
Sent from my Nook Tablet using XDA
You can actually go into the application settings and clear the cache and clear the defaults for HomeCatcher and then do a force stop. Run it again in the app drawer and the next time you click the n button it will ask wich launcher to run again. I made sure I didn't select the default action checkbox this time. Now everytime i hit n, it asks which launcher I want to use. I like it! Quick access to my wonderful root stuff and just as quick access to to an (essentially) stock Nook environment.
I have read it and did not find anything about pre-requisites. So am I totally safe doing this from a stock 8gb 1.4.2 nook tablet with no prior mods installed?
I understand the risks involved of course.

If you're just looking to root, then yes, use the method linked in this thread.
The "N" button
I rooted mine and everything worked fine.
I installed Button Savior and use that when I wanna be in Android tablet mode for going to the home screen and I just leave the Barnes & Noble 'n' as it is so when I press it I can go straight to the B&N look. It's pretty easy.
But this thread has been a great help to me.
Thanks
I followed a very similar procedure and everything worked great the first time, thanks to this board!
Thanks
I wanted to throw a thanks out to you as well.
I read your post as well as jichuan's post before I even tried anything.
The only issue I have had is the "unknown sources" not staying checked.
Like you, I tried and tried to get it to stick, finally looked away for a bit, and poof! Magically it's checked. Maybe patience is indeed a virtue! However, I can not for the life of me get HomeCatcher to install. I am rooted obviously as I was able to download NT Hidden Settings from the Play store. Any ideas, or did I overlook something?
I had a lot of problems with unknown sources but it just happened all by itself
1.4.3
Doesn't seem to be working with 1.4.3. I installed NT Hidden settings and some apps from the play store but they are nowhere to be seen.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you!!! I did this to my NOOK Table and it's working fine!! Thanks!! :laugh:
issue
I'm hoping someone can help me.
I rooted my NT last week (using these tips and tricks) and installed a bunch of stuff on it. And just today I installed the BEATS AUDIO on it and it asked me to reset the device... upon resetting it, it started up like a stock NT and I had to re-register it. Does that mean my device is no longer rooted?
I have an SD card on there and I did a backup using Titanium, but I'm not able to access the apps or get to NT Hidden Settings to download anything. When I navigate the web to the play store I'm able to see that it recognizes some of the apps as installed, but I cannot even download an apk or get anything to download through the play store even though it says a download will begin soon. Also, in the SEARCH option I do not get an option to choose where to search, it's just a general nook search.
I hope this is enough information. I want to try to re-root it but am afraid I might brick it.
PLEASE HELP!
Was your NT running 1.4.2? If so check to see if it's now on 1.4.3 in which case you had an OTA update which un-rooted your tablet.

still on 1.4.2.
I guess somehow it reset itself and I lost the root. I had to reroot it and use titanium to get most of my files back. So glad I had set up a backup right before I downloaded the app. I ended up deleting the beats installer and just installed Volume+.
I'm still not sure what went wrong.
How's it going, everyone? I just want to apologize ahead of time if this is in the incorrect forum. There's so many to choose from and I didn't see one dedicated to this particular tablet.
I recently acquired a Verizon Ellipsis 8 and the first thing I wanted to do with the device was root it. After trying what must have been 10-15 different methods, I was finally successful at getting the device rooted using a (What I assume to be) Chinese root method called Kingroot. They had support for the tablet and actually got me root access, so I went with it. Shortly after, I installed all my necessary root apks and got the device working in what I would describe as acceptable order. I then began hunting for custom ROMS for the thing, but if there was one thing harder to find for this tablet than root access, it was a custom ROM.
Anyways, I've been living quite happily on rooted stock. I removed all the unnecessary bloatware from the device and everything has been going smoothly, until a few days ago. Verizon pushed out an OTA update and now I am receiving daily prompts from Verizon to update to the latest firmware. Now, this isn't my first rodeo when it comes to dealing with OTA updates, so I began digging around inside my system files to find the update.zip and disable it, as well as remove the different processes that would possibly be spamming this update notification. After several different files given the .bak extension and several different reboots, I felt comfortable that I had taken care of the issue. Hell, I even went so far as to take the same steps on my wife's tablet (She has the same one, rooted in the same fashion), and HER tablet has stopped sending her updates. HOWEVER, even though I have taken all the necessary steps, I still get the same prompt on my tablet at least once a day.
Now, I know for a fact the update files have been disabled, because last night I decided to test the update to see if it would actually go through, but it always results in the same error and the update doesn't apply. But no matter what, the prompt still shows up for me the next morning.
The prompt itself is quite annoying. It takes up the entirety of the screen, disables all other functionality of the tablet and doesn't let me choose other processes, and makes me select one of two options: Either I choose to apply the update, which immediately fails, or I can choose to delay the update to a different time during the day. If I could grab a screenshot, I'd show you guys what it looks like. But, I literally can't do anything on my tablet until after I make that selection, which immediately closes the process. That means I can't freeze the process using TitaniumBackup or something like that. I am helpless to suffer these update prompts every morning.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm not ever going to actually run the update, but the reminder is just such an inconvenience. So, I thought I'd make a post and see if there's anything you guys can think of that might be able to help me find whatever is causing these prompts and get rid of it. I've disabled the update.zip, I've disabled notifications from the Google Play Services, and I've rid myself of all the unnecessary bloatware on my device. I left a few Verizon processes on the tablet that I wasn't 100% sure if they were safe to remove or not, and I've even installed the FOTAKill.apk to see if that would help. The update doesn't work, but the prompt still shows up every morning.
I'd be forever in your guys' debt if you could help me on this one. Thanks for the read, and thanks ahead of time for any help! =D

You will need to modify your build.conf to prevent the update screen from prompting you.
Change the build number to something else....
/system/build.prop
Change the build to something like: ro.build.display.id=AKOT49HA
and do the same to the rest of them in the file.
Hello,
Even though I found a lot of similiar problems and possible solutions for them,
none seemed to be suitable for my case.
My Phone:
Motorola Moto G2 with Android(either 4.4.4 or 6.0 sorry i dont know)
with SD-Card as internal storage
no root and with the stock bootloader locked
I will begin to describe my problem:
After accidentally tapping on a android app (the android head as icon - probably the setup wizard -) on my normally functioning phone, I got thrown into the setup sequence of the android setup-wizard, which is
unfortunately bugged and keeps crashing and restarting(-setup wizard has stopped-) no matter what. Any other action like using the home button(which disappeared) or access the dropdown menu is not possible and restarting or rebooting the phone wont solve the problem. The phone always starts in this setup-wizard.
So there are multiple Solutions to be found, but each of them either requires to have a rooted device or unlocked Bootloader or if not, factory reset the phone in order to install the above mentioned.
The thing is that I kinda gave up in getting my phone to work again since the only thing I seriously dont want to lose is the data, which im not able to extract anymore because I cant setup a ADB without access to settings or unlocked bootloader. And I am a big big dummy because I never did any backup on this device.
What really bugs me is that the phone still seems to function just fine(for example it still makes noises when I (probably) receive a message ) but its impossible to leave that damn setup-wizard.
I apologize for any dumb stuff or typos I just wrote, which are probably the result of a lot of exhaustion and despair.
I hope anyone can suggest a way to get to my data or even solve the problem.
Thanks in advance!

UNLESS asked to do so, PLEASE don't PM me regarding support. Sent using The ClaRetoX Forum App on my SM-G900V device.
OK, fixed it thank god
I will write down my solution in case that anyone faces the same problem and isnt
able to use advanced root/bootloader methods.
My Hero was a little "glitch" in the wizard, where you could partially leave it by
establishing a new network and write done something random to mark it and then
press share. afterwards you can try different applications which are shown to somehow reach the settings which is your golden goal. Gmail worked for me but it was really a back and forth till I somehow ended up in the playstore and then opened the settings application(if its not in the playstore try to open a launcher like Nova launcher or Google Now). If you managed to reach that point its nearly done.
just find the setup-wizard in your applications (systemapps) and give it ALL the rights it needs(should be phone and contacts). I have stopped him additionally but I dont think that added up anything. After that is done just hold the power button till its off and after the restart the setup wizard should be able to detect ur google account and finish his job.
Thank god there are glitches out there.
But as far as I found out alot of glitches get patched sooner or later so...yea:silly:
Hi, new here and I am hoping you guys can help me. I tried the sticky tread, but no response.
I have a problem and can't seem to find a solution.
Yesterday my phone had some problems with the camera and suggested to restart the phone. Did so, but now it is asking me for a password to startup the phone. I forgott my password and came to my last try. If I get it wrong this time, my phone will reset itself, deleting all the data. Is there a way to bypass this first password?
I am finding stuff about how to unlock a lockscreen (for example: https://android.imyfone.com/remove-screen-lock/unlock-motorola/), but I haven't even reached to that step yet, at least I think. Maybe I am seeing/understanding things wrong.
My phone is still the way it came out of the factory, so no rooting or USB debugging. It's a Motorola One, no idea which android version it is running on. I bought the phone in 2019, so I am guessing it's running on Pie or higher, if possible Sorry, I am a true newbie at this.
From the Netherlands, sorry for any typos..
Please help!
This may come over as if I am trying to use someone elses phone, but it is mine. I can prove it. I have proof in the form of an invoice. I will show it if needed.
Please, there are photo's and other personal data on the phone. I don't want to lose it unless I have no choice. Maybe somebody knows a way how to get my personal data copied to the computer? Then I can perform a hard reset. Please help me..
salam aleikum,
we both seem to have the same problem.
my phone is not from factory, but from a Basar.
It looks absolutely new, no scratch.
But when i started it first 2 weeks ago, i could not even get past start menu.
It has a "Lock Pattern" and it is still registered with someone. But obiously it is used before, it came without Box or Manual.
Ive tried hours and days to get it to work.
But all i can find is people on youtube that bypass the password, but for me it doesnt work. I have no idea what Android version it is running, but the Glitches that i found where people go from "foreign keyboards" to "Feedback" into Chrome and appstore dont work.
I can not return it, do i only have expensive Trash now or Is it Possible to Install AndroidOS again and overwrite?
I tried factory reset and know now how to go into the BIOS.
I have never done any Modifications or Rooting to any phone, im okay with computers.
But from reading here it seems I have to know exactly what version my phone is on or its possible to break it completely.....
I saw the Bios_Menu "install from disk"
So i guess if i get the right version an a memorycard maybe i can do like a windows or linux "format/c" an have a fresh start?
I dont have money for a new phone, curretly i still have a wiko lenny 2 but the display is broken an i can only use half of the keyboard.
Always need to turn the screen and every message or google search takes one hour.
Please just tell me YES or NO
i will learn it myself but now im really frustrate by this.
EDIT: Through the keyboards i managed to get to feedback section and found this infos:
Package Version: 26751214
Package Version Name: 7.5.12.211120031release arm 64 v8a
Adnd some others

Watch FRP bypass videos by this guy.
He should have a newer one that works.

This is one of the videos/methods i have tried.
Sadly when I click on share it does not open youtube app and i cant discard the update message.
Will search his Channel..... EDIT: FOUND A NEW VIDEO WITH NEW GLITCH TWO DAYS OLD - DOESNT APPLY
Edit:
That vieo is 2 days old, but If I Follow his instructions and use the glitch to go into app list and click on settings i dont have 3 clickable buttons, only 2 of which one is gray.
I have Disable and Force Stop
He has a third button "open" settings......
same with aller APPS in the list there is no "OPEN" button.
