So I just checked my rooted nook (rooted with indirect's method), and noticed a notification that said that I had just been updated to 1.4.1 somehow. All of my apps I downloaded with the android market have been retained, but it seems as though the market has been removed. The keyboard has also been replaced with the stock nook keyboard. Has this happened to anyone else, or did I at some point mess up rooting and did not actually block OTA's?
I discovered the same problem yesterday. My Tablet was rooted using inderect's updated OTA blocking method. I followed those directions to the T, but am wondering if I missed the actual OTA blocking step as well.
I can use the nook search and pull up go launcher ex, but not ADW. The android store is gone, but the amazon store is still there. However, I can't access the amazon store or any downloaded content as the a the package installer window pops up for everything, then wiggles like crazy in the center of the screen, and won't disappear allow any button presses. I have to touch the N button to make it go away.
Sidenote: I can access my one gift card B&N purchased book (Ready Player One). Great book, but not much of a silver lining for the nook.
What software version were you showing before the update? 1.4.0, or 9.9.9?
I was showing 1.4.0
I never had the amazon store, but it worries me that it was somehow messed up too by their update.
My current plan of action to get back is to use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190
to get back to 1.4.0, and then root again. Once I'm done with that, I'll try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20570665#post20570665 to block OTA's. Hopefully that should work...

If you were still showing 1.4.0, then something must not have gone right. You should be successful with the threads you mentioned.

Eh, with these types of mods, it would be hard to really jack it up permanently ... just make sure you go slowly and read everything twice!
You didn't complete the process. You had to download Titanium Backup (paid version), then freeze the service, run the apk and then unfreeze it and it would have change to version 9.9.9. If you were still on 1.4.0 then that is why you received the update....you never locked it.
I'm still on version 9.9.9 and have left the Wifi on for the past two days and nothing has been pushed to my device. You just missed a step in the process.

Unless I miss my guess, that step was where you open up Titanium Backup Pro, find the Device Manager Services (?) and freeze it.

I was able to do it with the free version of TiBu. I believe I manually changed it from DeviceManager.apk to DeviceManager.apk.bak before restoring from TiBu, but at any rate, I have been showing 9.9.9 for over a week now.
I think that that is exactly the step they missed. Freeze the service then loading the apk and then unfreezing it. I do know that they need the purchased version of Titanium in order to freeze and unfreeze service.
I think you can get by with the free version of Titanium Backup. I did and am still at 9.9.9 for 5 days now with wifi on all the time.
Sorry I missed post #11. This had already been mentioned. Anyway I had the same experience.
I was showing 1.4.0 after following indiercts post. I now am seeing that I missed the titanium backup "freeze" to swith it over to version 9.9.9
I'm gonna factory reset, re-root, and then attempt the titanium fix (fingers crossed).
thanks for the help peeps!

You don't need to freeze it. I used the free version of titantium backup just a few days ago. Just follow Albert's video and skip the freezing step.
Now running version 9.9.9 and everything is running great (fingers still crossed). You can definitely do this with the free version of titanium. Just follow alberta video instructions. Big thanks to indirect and albert for the hard work!

Yes you should be good now but i would even recommend to freeze device manager an unfreeze whenever you need to download from B&N app. You need titanium backup pro for that purpose.

TiBU Pro is so you can freeze DeviceManager.apk, which, if you want to feel truly safe from OTA's, you can do. the problem with doing that is that if DeviceManager is frozen, you can't dl from B&N. You would need to unfreeze (thaw) it, dl what you want, then freeze it again.
I am not sure this is absolutely needed, but hey, an ounce of prevention...

Question: If I never ever plan to download from B&N, can I leave device manager frozen? Or would that screw something else up down the road?

i think if you freeze device manager, the info for the owner of the device under device info becomes unavailable... not sure if thats important to you but yeah...
aside from freezing the B&N app store it also turns your owner info into unavailable.
if you did the extreme debloat from indirect's nook and zergy then the unavailable thing has already been applied...
Well I did nook and zergy way back, to root the tablet. But I don't know if I did extreme debloat, unless that's just automatically part of the nook and zergy process.
Is there a way to apply the extreme debloat option without running a whole new root?

i think adb hijack is what your looking for... i don't really know how to use it though lol, might learn how soon though so i can push some vid files directly to /data instead of having to transfer to sd card first and then to /data
still have 2.5 gb of internal left...
Hello, my healthy advice is research a bit more until you understand more of how all this works. If you want to re-root and you do it wrong you can brick you device and get a big exclamation mark, read carefully and ask whatever you don't understand before you do things. If I be you first of all i will ask myself exactly how I want my nook to act, in the end you be sure if you want full debloat or not but if you do you wont have support on indirects thread (that is stated in his start post [OP]) is why I say read carefully.
Now for re-root with a newer version of nook&zergy by Indirect you need (must) to install his adb hijack application, you can find that application (app) in apps and themes section of this forum.
Have fun.

Picked up an NT finally now that the CM9 looks like it is around the corner.
NT came OOB with 1.4.1... but I'm confused as to which way to best root it? Mind you I've never rooted a device before, JB iPhones yes... first real Android device (other than my Android running over WM on my HTC Touch Pro 2).
From the DEV section it looks like 1.4.1 can be rooted without having flash back to 1.4.0... but it appears it's not 100%. I try to avoid flashing whole updates as much as possible... I'm an old school electronics guy where EEPROMs were good for 20-30 writes before they went in the bin.
So if it's possible I would rather root a 1.4.1 and block OTA... or should I just do the 1.4.0 downgrade that also installs CWM?
IMHO I would revet back to 1.4.0 using This
And then Root using This
From your comments I believe you have already visited the the 2nd thread I linked. Do NOT use any of the files from the OP. Brianf21 posted a file yesterday that is the zero'd out image (smaller) with his latest Update.zip all in one file. It's the only file you will need. Use that file and skip any steps that say to copy update.zip to the Root of the SD card.
There is controversy as to if rooting 1.4.1 using that method leaves side-loading intact. Some say yes, some no. Avoid the controversy and REVERT to 1.4.0.
My .02
Edit: I spoke incorrectly. You will need the file linked in post 14 if you will be using the windows method as it contains the Image Flashing routine. Just use Brian's file when the instructions tell you to browse for the image.
I ended up just using Brian's image from yesterday over 1.4.1... so far so good, have the GApps, can DL from the market, etc.
If anything gets weird, I'll drop down to 1.4.0 and re-root.

Can you side-load app's?
Does the unknown sources toggle remain checked?
Is NTHiddenSettings functioning properly?
Thanks!
Edit: Saw your post in the other thread. Guess the answer to the above is NO...
Yeah, I think the 1.4.1 sideloading isn't a 100% guarantee. Perhaps if the NT was at 1.4.0 and then upgraded, there might be something that allows it to be re-opened.
But for a factory fresh 1.4.1... I think it's a no-go.
Will revert to 1.4.0 tomorrow and re-root.
Do I still need to block OTA with Brianf's image or does it cover that?

I did .... using the Titanium Method (3 files). My version now shows 9.9.9
I too am running 1.4.1 and rooted using Brian's update.zip. The Unknown Sources doesn't stay ticked, and the hack to get it working doesn't work. But I can sideload apps using adb, no problems. I've gotten several live wallpapers I'd be collecting over the last few weeks installed.
I managed to sideload SQLite Editor and manually did the FOTA changes and also edit the "Install_Non_Market_Apps" key in the Settings.db file.
Managed to install Amazon and side-load a bunch of other stuff since. Dunno if the key setting will survive a reboot, will try later tonight.
EDIT: It appears as if doing a manual edit in Settings.db will allow sideloading even after reboot.
OK, I'm a noob and made the noob mistake of deleting (rather than freezing) some system apps after rooting. Won't make that mistake again.
I do not have backups nor am I completely sure which apps are missing. As a result of these missing apps I cannot complete the latest OTA update.
I downloaded a system dump and noted a few apk files in it that were not on my system though I believe that there are other apk files missing which are not in the system dump (MyLibrary, WebStorage etc) so I am not sure the particular system dump I got is up to date.
Copying the apk files to my system\app folder did not help, the update still fails.
I seem to recall seeing instructions somewhere for manual installation via power/down volume which would allow you to see a text dump of the update with reports of missing files or mismatched CRC's. I cannot find this again but such a thing would help me determine what is missing so that I can then attempt to find replacement apk files.
Sorry for being such a noob. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Made the same mistake when upgrading to ICS from Honeycomb...
If you get the previous update (the one your running now) from the Asus website, extract the update file and place it in one of the folders on the tablet, (I forgot which folder, sorry...) reboot and the tab will recognize it and prompt you to update. Once that update is finished installing, you should have all your bloat back. Delete the update file from the tab since you don't need it anymore, and then try to update to the most recent OTA Update.
Just do a search in the TFP forums and you should find complete instructions on how to do this.
I'm just assuming this will work for ICS to ICS... because it worked for me when I updated to ICS to Honeycomb...
Hope this method works for you.
I had the same issue.
Download:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF201/US_epaduser9_4_2_11UpdateLauncher.zip
Once downloaded, extract the contents of the zip file (yes, its another zip file of the same name inside) to your MICRO SD. put your micro SD in your TF201 (or eject and re-insert if you copied via cable)
Once the card is mounted you will see a triangle with an "!" in the notification area. Touch the notification and it will open a dialogue to install the manual update.
You will lose root, even with OTA Rootkeeper.
Re-root your device. Install OTA Rootkeeper if you have not already. Run Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. Protect your su.
Check for updates. Install .13 OTA.

Should be a lesson learned. Stop messing with system apps. Always causes problems one way or another. The apps included are nothing to even be considered bloat. I still have everything installed n prime super fast. If anything just freeze the apps, never delete them unless u always want to have failed OTA.

I agree completely, and my lesson is learned. But why on earth would a freaking E-reader app be a system app?
That was my hangup. AsusReader a/k/a the My Library app.
And mine was backed up with Titanium, which obviously bungled it since it would not restore.

The suggestion you were given is proper if you have a 16gb NT that came as 1.4.0. It will work if you are able to complete the task properly. It formats appropriate partitions and then rewrites them with zeros then places 1.4.0 recovery and reboots recovery. It does work; for me at least. I have used numerous times.
I keep an sdcard with this and another with cwm boot ready at all times as I tend to try new things regularly.

I'm asking for help on my app problem. I'm not flaming anyone. I'm just saying that I already asked for help a month ago on how to unroot my NT and, while lavero.burgos was very helpful, it was never solved, even trying the several ways to unroot she and others suggested. I'm not looking for help on how to unroot/reroot. I've tried the Adam Outler post and it doesn't work on my NT. It won't boot into CWM. And I can't use ADB. (see here for my original post on unrooting)
As I've said, I accept that I cannot unroot my device for whatever reason. I just need help with my app problem. I even installed Titanium and uninstalled the unwanted apps. Rebooted and they all came back. My NT is like 10-Second-Tom from 50 First Dates, I swear lol
Also, side note, I'm pretty sure the reason the acclaim update doesn't work is because my NT doesn't have the B&N firmware on it anymore. I brought my NT to B&N and the guy tried resetting it for a while and he couldn't get it to reset. He said it was because there wasn't any B&N firmware left.
Don't have a NT, but planning on getting one.
However major post-root tool is this: http://roc-city.com/android/SdxAppRemoval-1.5.apk
Does that help? Make sure you backup any apk before you delete them - if you mess up, then you can always restore the apk.
I will have to try when I get home tonight. I'll let you know, thanks.
Like I said, it was rooted using the Indirect method. So it was reset to 1.4.0 before rooting. It now reads as 9.9.9. It's a 16g.
OK, sorry...haven't been able to get to trying out the suggestion.
When I do the Adam Outlet Ubuntu method, it just reboots a bunch of times (almost like 8 failed boots) and then boots up like normal. No Ubuntu, nothing. Just boots up like there's no SD card in.
Next suggestion?

I can't solve this problem(yet). It can be some kind of software lock or bad memory chip. My NT is booting from sdcard now.
So yesterday I updated to 4.3 and now when using Titanium backup it restores the app but when launching the app It force closes and in the notification bar it says "Security Notice An attempt to access a secure area on your phone without autorization has been blocked. Make sure your phone is protected by updating the security policy to the latest version from samsung." Then has a button for Update policy or cancel and updating the policy doesnt fix it.
So now that you have the story let me tell you exactly what I did to update it.
I followed this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504408
Then when I went to do the OTA it failed and I was thinking it was because of safestrap and that i still had a rom installed on rom slot 1. So I started over and once I installed VRUDMI1 I did a factory wipe of data just so its fresh(i think thats where i went wrong but i dont know). SO then i continued with the instructions in the link above and got 4.3 installed.
Any Idea why i cant restore? Im thinking it has to do with the app permissions because when I install from store and accept the permissions the app works but i cant restore my data.
Anyone?
Same Issue
Yes, anybody? I've had this same issue and worked around it, I just can't keep entering the data in all my apps.
It started when I went from stock on my S4 to Hyperdrive RLS12. The first time I witnessed this, it was annoying, but I figured it was simply because of differences in the stock vs custom (like deodexed vs odexed) making the backups in-compatible. BTW, I am using stock slot. Don't like the whole fake slot thing taking up space, especially when I'm no newbie with installing ROMs.
Well, I went from RLS12->13, same issue. Just did RLS13->14, same issue.
So here's what I just did (and always do). I've installed different ROMs on different phones countless times over the past few years, TB has never failed me in this process until now:
- Did nandroid backup of current ROM
- Took screenshots of important settings, etc.
- Did a TB of my USER apps I want to restore, sync'd to DropBox
- Recovery, full whipe (data/cache/dalvik/etc)
- Install new ROM version
- After first start, FIRST thing I do is re-install TB and license, so I can open it and let it detect my changed device id and restore it.
- After reboot, restore things, including app+data of certain apps from TB
But every time with my S4, I get the same things as ponzi314, if I install App only, it works. If I restore app+data or just data (after installing from market) the app will just go to a blank screen for a few seconds then crash. Even if I clear data at this point, the app won't work. I have to actually un-install/re-install the app.
What gives? It's frustrating given the number of times I've used this process with TB successfully. I'm going back to my nandroid backup for now until I can solve this. Thanks.
Download TB Restore Fixer from the Play Store. It worked for me.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504408
Then when I went to do the OTA it failed and I was thinking it was because of safestrap and that i still had a rom installed on rom slot 1. So I started over and once I installed VRUDMI1 I did a factory wipe of data just so its fresh(i think thats where i went wrong but i dont know). SO then i continued with the instructions in the link above and got 4.3 installed.
Any Idea why i cant restore? Im thinking it has to do with the app permissions because when I install from store and accept the permissions the app works but i cant restore my data.

Make sure "unknown app" is checked in settings and download root checker to verify if your phone is rooted.
It works!

Download TB Restore Fixer from the Play Store. It worked for me.
