I was able to successfully root my nook tablet. Though wished to try a different root program. I tried to uninstall the root normally but found my internet browser was disabled on my nook tablet. As well as my library setting I performed the factory reset to try to fix the problem but I am unable to completely restore my nook tablet. I am unable to download the unrooting program over the internet because the browser and search is disabled.
Is there any way that I may be able to fix my nook with an SD card?
I would also like to know if I can enable usb-debugging other than using the browser on my nook since the browser has been disabled.
Make a wipe erase/deregister your device and use the magic card method by AdamOutler to restore stock, that will put your NT like out-of-the-box.

Do you know if there is any packetuninstaller program for the sd card that I can use to unroot my nook tablet?
I would like to reinstall the market once I fix my browser and library issue not having access to either on my tablet kinda sucks http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
erase/deregister does not remove the android market or the ota block. After resetting device I still have do not have it as an out-of-the-box nook tablet. The browser is still non functional and the library will not work. The only way I can access the internet browser is by clicking on forgot password via the netflix app.
Any other methods do unroot and fully reset device???
Use the convert to 1.4.0 SD option. There is plenty on the boards, you just have to search for the answer. Check out the Noob thread too.
I have now parsed root file used on my nook tablet to allow full access of google launcher and apps. I have rooted access to browser now. Sd card options have not succeded in doing anything but reboot device to 1.4.0 which it is currently on. With removal of root or functionality of the library, shop, or normal search. I would like to regain the functionality of these functions or fully restore my device. I have read through the forums an have not yet reached a solution.
I was wondering if its possible to achieve stock functionality? I am new to the nook tablet. Though I have rooted and unrooted other devices without problems just trying to find a simple restore method that works. All help is greatly appreciated
Sounds like your NT internal files may be corrupt. It's the reason why I'm recommending you root via SD versus internal memory back to 1.4.0. Then run Indirect's unroot app and then try to reinstall Indirect's image. I had to do so because my NT wouldn't charge while on...computers (no matter the size of them or maker) can act quirky and it sometimes takes a couple of reinstalls to get it working the way it should be....nature of the beast.

Heres how I restore my NookTablet to the way it was when I got it (no root/mods)
1. Erase and Deregister
2. Turn off Nook once the erasing is complete
3. Copy acclaim_update.zip to the root of a microsd
4. Turn the nook on, which will start the downgrade/Factory Reset
5. Done, now the Nook is 100% root free.
This method removes all root traces/apps. Then I re-root (which will not work if the NT is already rooted). I'm new to Android in general but I have been an iOS user for 4 years. This is the same as doing a DFU restore.
Ok Let me list what I have tried.. After failed root.
1. Erased/Deregistered device
After boot-up no browser no library no shop
All functions are blocked OS after Erase 1.4.0
2. Erase/Deregister then installed acclaim_update.zip to the root of an sd card
This did nothing....
device is still on 1.4.0 with no browser or normal settings.
3. Reset via Power home button reset worked.
Device rebooted but still all settings the same I believe somehow
OTA block has not been removed. As should have been.
There is still block on factory browser search and library functions.
4. Tried to re-root and sideload super user app unable to fully install root.
Error root is not installed on device software version is still 1.4.0
5. Erase/Deregister again! Let boot normally Searched again through Xda Website for more information on this matter still unable to revert to factory.
I wonder if there is a way to force to 1.4.1. to fully break root functions and revert back to factory and reinstall new root file. I would like to get back unblocked functions of nook library and browser.
Also as a side note the nook seems to be perma downgraded. By some sort of block even after erase/deregister I need to remove whatever is blocking this so I can revert to stock and reinstall the new root.

I'm a noob but I'm pretty sure
Erase/Deregister = clears the /app folder for market and nook store apps and any user files (not system)
Acclaim.zip= completely clears the device. Including the /System/app folder (where the browser resides). And when that's done it recopies the original apps. Which is why if you debloat the NT, a acclaim update/restore restores the files. I can confirm this worked for me since I debloated once and this restored the deleted apps
So unless you didn't do all the steps you must have messed up a critical file that controls the restore process. But I don't think that's possible with current rooting tools.
NOOK TABLET? Unrooted?
I sucessfully backdated my nook tablet to software version, 1.4 and rooted device- however after putting on software version 1.4, I was unable to register device. I skipped the registration video and rooted no problem... wasn't happy with the rooted nook tablet like I was with my rooted nook color.
I wanted to unroot and restore to factory defaults. I sucessfully unrooted my nook tablet and restored to new software 1.4.1. However, when I go to register device, I recieve the same error message I have been getting this whole time with E-AD1202 in bottom left of screen.
Can someone please help?? Thanks so much!
If you have just unrooted your device I would try to Reset your nook tablet.
Hold the power and home key together when powered off then release once in boot screen repeat process in initial boot screen until reset pops up on your screen and follow instructions to reset your nook.

That is precisely what I did and it worked like a charm...plus the new script will include the OTA killer feature.

I have tried this, still doesn't erase whatever is causing me to not be allowed to register. I have done the 8 time boot, accalim sd file etc.
I always get prompted to the registration screen that will not let me register!

The only reason you can't register would be if you weren't back to stock. Do the factory restore, NOT data reset, again to get back to stock.

I had the exact same problem. Serial number on device software does not match the serial number on the device itself. The software serial number is already registered and B&N isn't allowing more than one email address to register the serial number. Had to get a new one. Sucks.

Ok so here is the deal. I successfully did the zergrush script (did not know about the 1 click root apk). Either way that was successful, I had installed the market, a lot of google apps and gave it back to the person. Then they decided to install the amazon app store and chose app installer instead of package installer. That messed up apk installations for everything it seemed. During the zerg rush script, it gave me the option to make the "n" button a dedicated home key button, and so I had done that. After I did a factory restore, it remained the homekey button, and now I cannot find the browser or anything, I don't know how to bring up the browser what so ever. I can seemingly access everything else in the 1.4.0 install that it gives me. Unfortunately adb is not working, I can't seem to get the <!>Nook Tablet in the device manager anymore, no matter how many times I try to force and remove the default USB Mass Storage it installs.
Basically i seemed to have screwed myself. Using various search results in both the android development thread and this thread didn't seem to yield results for anyone else dealing with this issue. If anyone can lend me a hand or point me in the right direction, or even show me a thread that someone is dealing with this issue also, that would be fantastic. Thanks community!
Also, I used the script that doesn't allow OTA updates, so it seems the sdcard load acclaim_update.zip doesn't work either.
Well... I have successfully been able to force the 1.4.1 update back onto the device, which has given me "n" menu access. Now I will reattempt to revert back to 1.4.0 and root again.
My error was that I was putting the 1.4.1 update onto the sdcard instead of onto the nook partition.
I just rooted my Nook Tablet, and eberything went well. I forgot to delete the "acclaim_-rupdate.zip" file form the SD card, and when I just turned it on, it reinstalled 1.40 on the device, or it went through the motions like it was doing so. I did not stop it because I figured that would not be good thing!!;p). It booted back up, and all at first looked the same, but the Android Market no longer works, the N button is back to its default setting, and some other apps do not work. I tried rerooting it by running the "Nook and Zergy" utility, but I just got errors. How can I fix this?
do you happen to have the Unrooting app installed?
If you don't google it and find the xda unrooting thread with the app.
See if it will allow you to download and install it.
if your able to install it( or already have it) run it. it should set your nook completely back to out-of-the-box stock.

Thanks! Sounded good at least! Just installed it, but I get some sort of error when I try to run it.
also
also if you are able to boot from cwm, you can try installing alberwertz gapps_and_root.zip file
i screwed up my root when the alpha cm7 came out and was able to install his root zip to regain access to the root apps.
i then ran the unroot app and after rerooted using his zip and all has been well since..
Not sure if this will help, but this is the error I get: Could not echojava IO Exception Error running exec Command SU working directory: Null Environment. Should I just do the 8 restarts and put it back to factory that way?

before do that, do you have cwm installed internal?
I was able to get this fixed surprisingly easy. I just reset the Nook back to factory by holding down the power and N button at startup. Evidently the tablet was no longer rooted after it ran the 1.40 restore even though the interface did not look any different. I then just did the root all over again! Thanks for the help!

We now have a Q&A section. Please post all questions there
Hey guys....here's my situation.
I bought a Blu Touch Book 7.0 plus off of Amazon. Got it two nights ago. It's a true phablet. 512 RAM / 512 ROM - I was a little concerned but figured as long as I could root it, I was good to go.
Anyways - no I am not looking for a root. I was able to root it relatively easily after an initial failed attempt which required a factory reset - if anyone is interested, it required PDANET+ & UnlockRoot, SuperOneClick and other methods failed. I threw in a class 10 SD, and modded Android so all apps would be downloaded/installed to my SD card (I did this using the SDK & command prompt in USB debugging mode). I had researched apps previously and began to furiously download and tweak. I threw in a T-Mobile SIM, and everything was going well, I was very happy. It actually seems to be a well made device, though it's a little bulky and the phone function works much better with a bluetooth headset.
Then, I deleted Phone.apk. Despite all apps being downloaded/installed to my SD card, space was still at a premium and I had downloaded a third party dialer. I figured worst case, I could do a factory reset and/or could simply re-download the file (I was actually about to download a good backup program tonight after work, I've been busy the past two days and my anxiety to set up other stuff got the better of me). There was no immediate issue, but shortly later I got the dreaded 'com.android.apk has stopped' (or what not) message popping up constantly. I reset the device, it booted up but it was not reading my sim, and was missing icons. That's when I did something stupid-er. I found a Phone.apk file on the net, downloaded to my device, and copied it to the relevant directory.
Since then, when I boot up, first it shows that Android is upgrading, then it shows the 'unfortunately, the process com.android.apk has stopped.' I click 'Okay,' and it keeps popping up. I wasn't able to delete the wrong Phone.apk as there was not enough time for a longpress between error messages. I was able to initiate a factory reset - I was rather relieved - I had learned a bit the past day or two via trial and error, and I would be able to re-do everything perfectly this time.
But the factory reset did not revert to the right 'Phone.apk' file. So the problem still exists....
If anyone can help me, I would be oh so grateful....thanks...
A factory reset clears all user data & apps. If you deleted the phone app from system, you will have to reflash a stock zip, which I'm assuming you don't have, or find the stock apk and put it back in the right place as a system app.
If you have Titanium Backup you can use that to do it, provided you can find the stock phone apk.
Well, a problem is, I doubt that I will be able to find any ROMs or Phone.apk's for my device. At least not for a little while. There are some ROMs out there I believe for the original Blu Touch Book - but the original has a diff processor and is running Froyo rather than ICS.
Now, if I somehow can find a workable Phone.apk or a workable ROM, how do I go about flashing/copying? I can hook up to a PC (though I'm not aware of any USB storage mode that I can turn on), but the phone itself is just about unusable unless I can manage to delete the wrong Phone.apk file, as long as the file is simply missing it will boot up without the relevant features. And - let me repeat that I did a factory reset to try and fix this - it didn't fix my problem but it erased my apps and my root access....I can probably restore root but it won't stop the warning notification from popping up non-stop.
I was able to boot into safe mode previously - but it didn't help. If there is an applicable recovery mode, I can't figure that out. To my knowledge, there is no USB Mass Storage option that I can turn on.
I purchased from Amazon, so luckily I can return the item, and worst case they review it's condition and charge a restocking fee. Of course, I was looking forward to receiving this device for more than a week and have been obsessed with it since it's arrived...and I am also temporarily back to using Sprint (in Phoenix) on a 3.5" Windows Phone (I am an ex Windows Mobile fan boy, Windows Phone disappoints) after experiencing 6 MB/s 3G speeds on T-Mobile for a day or so (on a 7 inch screen and on a prepaid plan far cheaper than what I pay Sprint). I was about to port my number. Basically I am depressed. An irony here - I'm pretty sure Amazon sold me a used device that was advertised as new. On initial boot, the Android set up program did not launch. Upon my first factory reset, the set up program launched, and the dialer skin was different than what it was out of the box. The 'refuse product if this seal is broken' sticker on the packaging was partially broken, too, although it appeared to be partially in tact. But now if I try to play that angle, I come off like a scam artist...
Anyways thank you very much for your reply...all attempts to help are appreciated quite a bit...
Taking things one step at a time, let me simplify my request:
How can I delete (or replace) a system file from my device (in this case, the incorrect Phone.apk) remotely via a USB connection? I have the sdk installed on my computer, I can connect the device to my computer, but I can't really use the device until the file is deleted. Is it possible to push via ADB? Something to that effect? Will the 'push <local> <remote>' command work even if I do not have root access? What syntax is used to specify the path? Is it possible to simply delete a file without replacing it?
Does the Phone.apk file have to be specific to my device or could it be specific simply to my mobile carrier/frequency bands and/or ICS? I realized the Phone.apk file I copied to the device earlier was for the Huawei m835, a CDMA phone running Froyo...
Or, am I simply SOL?
Thanks....
One of the things about Android devices, as a former Windows Mobile user also, is that factory resets work differently as you've found out the hard way. In WM you could delete any system file you wanted and a hard reset would restore it. On Android if a required /system file is deleted you are SOL unless you have a way of restoring a backed up version. Its highly recommended IMO to have a working recovery like CWM, TWRP and a backup before you go messing around with /system files. But with a generic android device its probably not possible to find a recovery to install. You cannot write to the /system directory without root access, adb will give you an error. You may be able to use a phone.apk from another device with the same version of android.
I did find a Phone.apk from a device with the same manufacturer, on the same frequencies, with the same screen res, running the same version of Android. I have the full System/App folder if needed.
And I may have restored root access using UnlockRoot (I have read iffy things about the program but again it's all that worked for me initially). (EDIT - I do now have root access, I was able to verify the Superuser app on the device)
However when I load the SDK and type in 'adb root,' after the 'daemon started successfully,' I quickly get an 'error: closed.' And then when I try to push the Phone.apk file to the relevant folder, I get 'failed to copy / permission denied' (EDIT as I was warned of)
Is there anything I can load onto my SD card to help? I can run probably install an APK off of my storage card. Although I am very limited in what I can do - between error messages I can only get in one quick touch of the screen (and it usually takes a few tries per touch)...I can't do anything that requires a long-click...and I had also deleted the stock keyboard and the stock browser...limits me further...
Now, if I can delete my current Phone.apk and upload the stock keyboard, I am certain I can figure this out. There has to be some way to do this....
EDIT// I packed it up to return to Amazon. If there was a solution out there, oh well...
Like I said you may have been able to use Titanium to install it as a system app and that may have taken care of things once you set it as the default app and/or removed the faulty one.
^^ Right, but the challenge was installing Titanium Backup, and then using it while the error notification popped up on the screen every split second. Unless I am missing something, only way to download it would have required me to buy a Bluetooth keyboard and struggle to pair it so I could type (I had a USB keyboard that didn't work), maybe reassociate my device with my Google account (struggling to type letter by letter between each 'OK' click), have the apk sent to my device over unsecured wifi, put the .apk on SD (or just delete the wrong apk and reboot), and then hope that I could use Titanium backup to do the trick without the ability to press anything on the screen for longer than a half second or so...
Actually, I guess that could have worked, provided the Bluetooth keyboard worked. Of course, there's the chance that the Phone.apk I found for the similar device, might not have worked. Anyways, late now. I have a new one on the way, and I was shipped a slightly used one to begin with anyways, might be for the better. I kinda feel bad that the phone is now 'defective' as a result of my impatience/etc but then again I didn't do anything that the instruction manual warned against, not to mention the instruction manual says a factory reset restores factory data, which I think infers that it restores essential system components. And as much as I was an idiot, I don't do anything which should have caused a nearly non-recoverable error. That's on Google's end. Google doesn't even really discourage rooting and if you allow Android on a device with 512MB rom...
Learning experience. One of the first things I do when I get my new one, I download a backup program and find out if there is a recovery mode. In any event, I won't make the same mistakes twice. Thanks to those who replied or considered replying. Anybody has tips for the future, that aren't obvious or easily found, feel free...
If u r rooted this is very easy.
Open sdk and type su if u get "#" then u r rooted.
If so let us know
---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------
as a rethought I see u deleted system app so u were rooted
---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------
Firstly adb pull the file "/proc/mounts" open it using notepad and see how system is mounted.
then remount system as rw using
"mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /
<path to your system> /
system"
Now u can delete stuff or add new stuff without perm error

Eh, I already sent the phone back to Amazon. This, however, looks like a useful something to have access to in the future. Thank you for the link...
No way. Come on,why did u send it to amazon when u had me right here we could have fixed this so easily.

I installed PDAnet+ on my phone & PC (as a means of installing a driver for the TB Plus). Then, I ran a program called 'UnlockRoot,' followed instructions, and I had root. UnlockRoot v3.1 is what is installed on my computer.
I moved on awhile ago to the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 would be my best recommendation for a budget phablet). The Touch Book plus only held up so well (though I still have it and it still works albeit with no speaker and a screen that needs to be color-filtered due to a mysterious type of screen damage).
DOH!

You do realise that this thread is 3+ Years old , right ?
Hi all! Please solve my issue - it is getting real serious. Before starting a thread I have already researched a lot about this problem and now, XDA is my second last hope!
I own a XOLO Q1010 (with Android 4.2.2) phone. Recently, the company has released KitKat update for this device. I was real excited about it as the new ROM has already arrived luckily to my phone as well! But, unfortunately, it is not that easy. I start upgrading by downloading the system update of 316.14 mb, and as soon as it enters Recovery mode, after few seconds, an error occurs. First, I thought there might be some problem with the Zip file, next, I downloaded update again and kept it at a safe place to reuse it.
Now, I don't know why but as I analyzed that error, it wrote:
warning:no file_contexts verifying current system
"/system/app/Browser.apk" has unexpected content,
installation aborted.
update.zip is not correct
I thought that once few months earlier, I disabled this browser app (after rooting) so that may be the issue. I'll update that browser and it will apply the update to my phone.
After this, I started troubleshooting.
I checked Browser.apk file, and saw that it was working fine.
After this, when I started Browser, it showed: "Unfortunately, the Browser has stopped".
I later reset the app preferences, but it didn't worked.
I decided to re-install the fresh version and paste it manually within /system/app folder.
I did as many times as possible and with trusted installers (like the one I got on some thread on XDA itself), but nothing really worked.
I decided to do clear the cache partition but that doesn't work either.
Right now, the browser is also not working and I cannot upgrade my system as well.
I have gone for Factory Reset as well. But as soon as setup completes and everything get backs to normal, I start the default browser, it pops-up the message again that unfortunately, the browser has..
So this is what bothering me a lot. I have already gone for a Factory reset and tried the methods that I was aware of and found suitable. But nothing actually worked. The Recovery still displays the same error as above and I cannot upgrade my OS to KitKat.
Tired and irritated now, please anyone help me.
Thanks in advance! :good:
I have the same issue.
I also deleted the system browser.apk.
