I've tried to install apps from 4shared onto my Atrix 4G but it doesn't let me.
I need to know if theres a way to get past the security warning?.
You have to enable sideloading.
You need to get the Sideload Wonder Machine from AndroidCentral.com to enable you to install from your computer.
Yep it's called sideloading, two options here:
A. Root your phone (use GingerBreak. You need to buy an external sd-card to make it happen) and find yourself the GladEnable script to enable sideloading. Done.
B. Flash the newest 4.5.91 build (gingerbread, AT&T only). Then you can find the much blessed "install non-market apps" checkbox. check it and you are done. here's a link to save you some time for searching the web: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159950
Sideload Wonder Machine can be used without rooting your phone. It takes up too much time to troubleshoot so I didn't root mine this time. I have rooted my iPhone & another Droid previously & found it too time-consuming to keep up.

+1 for this. used sideload wonder machine a while ago to get gameloft games onto my atrix, works well.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/and...-central-sideload-wonder-machine-v-1-2-a.html windows version found here. there are mac and linux versions too.
Yes, I've been all over these (awesome ) forums, reading and learning on how to root my new nook tablet (which I got for 224.99 btw XD )
I've been learning from this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583&page=18
I just want to make sure that this is a known and safe method for me to use, it seemed too easy to be true...which is why I am here posting and asking about. I apologize if I am in the wrong place >.< I do hope I am in the right spot.
I appreciate any help, and look foreword to learning and getting to know the forums here.
Cheers!
Easy = Yes
Safe = Yes
Reliable = Not really
IMHO You would be better off to revert your 1.4.1 to 1.4.0 using AdamOutler's Magic SD Card and then Rooting.
At that point you can either use the method in the thread you linked OR the original Indirect Root method.
If you are on windows and have never had an android device hooked up to that computer the original method will work easily. The biggest issue it faces is the troubleshooting of the drivers when another Android device was used on the PC previously. There is however plenty of information available to help if you get stuck. The advantage of this method is it will allow you to select an alternate launcher, de-bloat B&N apps and install the OTA block. You MUST be on 1.4.0 to use this method.
The only advantage to the SD card root is that it will also help you create a ClockWorkMod (CWM) bootable SD Card. The disadvantages are you will need to install the OTA block seperatly, if you try it on 1.4.1 there are additional hoops to jump through to get side-loading supported, the files you should use are NOT in the OP and because the files have been revised several times the instructions have become convoluted. If you have read through that entire thread and are comfortable that you have pieced together all the information then you will be fine using that method.
Good luck and welcome!
hello all, just picked up the Nook Tablet (16g) - and of course i am wanting to root it. i have followed all the instructions from turning on USB debugging and updating my Drivers so the device is recognized as Android ADB (which took a long time) now i am trying to run the NookandZergy.bat file. it will not show any devices here. not sure what i am doing wrong.. i have tried several times and no joy. i am doing all of this with Win7 system if that matters ( i tried running Zergy as administrator also).
i am sure this problem has come up in the forums already but i have yet to find an answer yet.

I can't help you as far as the method you described above is concerned, but I can tell you from having rooted mine several times now that Albert's SD Card method (version 4.50) is super simple and has worked great for me. No Windows drivers to mess with, etc. He lays it out pretty straightforward. I use a 4gb SD card - can't remember if a 2gb will work or not. Give it a try if you got an sd card laying around.

Hi,
What is easiest, latest and safest way to root NT 1.4.1 ?
This one from Brianf21, which looks simple ?
Bootable Root SDCard 1.4.0 and 1.4.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488035
Or any other SD card method (like the one mentioned above - Albert Wertz's SDNTV4.5) ?
What are advantages of each ?

thats the method i used literally after booting up tablet and making screen work i powered it down and rooted it using that image file. It all just depends on what you want if you want debloated no B&N stuff or you want stock but rooted with OTA updates blocked.
Personally I just rooted so I could install CWM and install cm7 I had no interest in stock or anything B&N.
Thanks nba1341.
I would like to keep B&N funcionality, but prevent OTA and be able to download/install apps from different android markets and web sites. Also, I would like to be able to unroot the device if necessary (go back to original B&N software).
Which SD method should I use (Brianf21 ?) ?
And one final question before I start the work, do I need to go through initial registration process on my brand new 16 GB NT ver 1.4.1 before starting the rooting procedure ?
I hope that rfronz1 will find this clarification useful too.
Thanks for help.
I am with a Nook Tablet 16gb that was purchased with 1.4.0 and is now with 1.4.2. I was happy sideloading on 1.4.0, but now understand I have to go rooting...
I have been trying several methods, and just can't get it though. One problem is I am in Africa, and downloading 100MB images takes more than 2h and recurrently fails with size mismatches or other errors before the end
Now, I am sure I should be able get Indirect's methods work, but end up with some nothingness...:
1> Indirect's method one: "make a magic SD card to load up CWM, and root their device"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21895025&postcount=14
I go through all steps with no problem, run CWM. However, for the last step to install zip from CWM:
- I guess it refers to the CWM_SD_flash_and_exe.zip again? It tells me fail to install, and the log says ""failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state: no such file or directory""
- I also tried using NT-CWM-SD.zip provided elsewhere by Sprint (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583à), same thing
2> Indirect method two: "How to root 1.4.1 (or any other version) using just an sdcard {easy}"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583
I tried the 1st (non windows) approach, that was creating a partition on the SDcard myself (did with Acronis Disk Director Suite, worked well),
I did the partition, copied the required files on the root of SD card, got CWM running. But then, the tutorial says:
Now you just need to download this zip file:
http://goo-inside.me/apps/Indirect/N...s_and_root.zip
just put onto the /mnt/media/ directory or you can push to /emmc/ while in CWM.
I am not sure I understand these instructions... I got the Gapps_and_root.zip onto my SDcard root, used CWD mode to unzip & install it successfully.
After that I reboot... I think it asks me to reset the tablet (someway like I have no choice), and then opens the Nook wizard and I cant get anything else out of it.
3> CM7 alpha final
I am now trying to use the CM7 method through SD card (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826) but dont succeed to download the required 120MB file... (Team-B-CM7SD-Alpha_final.img.zip)
=> So... any help or idea to get out of this?
NB: I am computer savy but not Android expert (though I killesed myself twice to install android market on chinese devices and learnet something), I can use a SDcard reader or USB cable but dont know to run ADB or alike. Again, I have trouble to download huge files!
Thanks a lot to help me... I am pulling my hair here already 3 days
I understand the experts are on this forum, and hope to get some help or I ll get mad and my husband's Xmas present will go useless... (he is Mozambican and we found out B&N has no portuguese books! I need Kindle.. and few other apps!)

Sideloading still with Sideload Wonder Machine on Nook 1.4.2?
Sorry, yes. I have now asked the moderator.
Sideloading still with Sideload Wonder Machine?
In the meantime, I ve found in this great sticky post:
NT Reference Thread | Tips & Tricks | How to's | Videos | NEWBIE?
It talks of this Windows programme to sideload any apps.
http://www.androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine
I wonder if that still can work on Nook 1.4.2 (unrooted)?
Please help understand the instructions
Well, this was originally posted here and then moved to my own thread by some admin I guess....

[MODS/HACKS/THEMES] Nook Tablet ONE-STOP-SHOP for CM7 | UPDATE! March/12
Hi,
I understand this thread is not supposed to be for newbies, yet I am not an expert, but every other method I tried failed (Indirect's method, etc, see here) and I am having troubles (from Africa) downloading big files, so this one I got and I am willing to try because I really need to get out of Nook rom. Though I'd love some advice
I am with a Nook 16Gb Tablet that I got with 1.4.0 and had sideloaded apps. Now it is on 1.4.2 and I have reset everyting in various previous attemps, so it is quite clean. Unrooted. I have a SD card, a disk partitionning software, and a USB cable, but no ADB.
My goal is, minimum, to be able load few apps (Kindle, a radio I like, etc), and if it is rooted and with access to Market, even better, then I'll do even more.
Luckily, I have been able to download the various files in this post.
My questions:
1> internal or SD ?
Which method you think is simplier and more stable?
2> Stable versions now?
It looks like these versions have started as beta, but been improved; Could they be considered stable now?
I saw there are other ones out there, but I could not succeed download them ("Team-B-CM7SD-Alpha_final.img_001.zip")
4> Requirements
Do I understand well there are no special requirements before starting that? Can be on unrooted device, 1.4.2?
3> reading the instructions...
I am not so expert and may need some help:
1. Download the file of the mod you pick
=> OK
2. Copy the zip file in the root (/) of Internal OR External SDcard (Pick one)
=> OK for external. But if you talk of internal, does it mean the tablet should already be rooted?
3. Verify md5 of the file >> ES File Explorer>Properties let you check md5
=> Is this step compulsory? How do you do that with an unrooted tablet and no ES file explorer in?
4. Boot into CWM
=> This I knew to do with Indirect method. Does it mean I should have done that before? Or the img file provided here will enable me do it ?
4.1 Go to Backup & restore>> Backup your current ROM if you haven't already
=> ok
4.2 Format system, Wipe cache, advanced>> Wipe dalvik cache
=> Is this step compulsory? How do you exactly do that, all from CWM?
4.3 Re-flash CM7 ROM
=> Does that just mean to reboot?
4.4 Flash the mod
=> Does that just mean to reboot? apparently not... then how?
5. Reboot your device. ENJOY!
I am sorry for beeing so basic, but I am sure I ma not the only one...
Thanks for the precious help!

Does this mean the NT must be rooted BEFORe going for this CM7 procedure?
Does anyone have any information on rooting the AZPEN A701 Tablet (ICS OS)?
All my searches keep popping up for the Acer Iconia A701.
drivers
I found the correct address for the drivers for this tablet, and 2 others from Azpen.
www.mediafire.com/azpensupport
The links on their webpage incorrectly spell mediafire and also include .com in the last part of the link.
Note: I recently got an email from Azpen telling me the exact same url that I had already figured out. Their email is about week to a week and a half after I sent them a request for the proper address. Also, as of the time I am posting this update, they have not corrected the address on their website.
Tried methods
I have tried SuperOneClick which reports that the system is rooted, but ADB Wireless says it is not.
I have tried Bin4ry's Root Many Android! (options 1, 3, and G) and briefly got temp root on option 3 but I lose wireless functionality (I get one or the other message from ADB Wireless (no root or no wireless), verified that Wireless connection has been turned off and won't turn back on until reboot which loses me the root again).
Retries
Ok, finally rooted the Azpen A701.
What I did:
First, I went back to SuperOneClick, and choose Unroot to reverse anything it did.
Retried Bin4ry's Root Many Android! v31, option 1 (new standard method), test, failed, unroot, 3 (old method), test, failed, unroot, then G (Google Glass method), test, WORKED this time.
Verified by using a root browser (can see files/folders(subdirectories) in /data after giving permission), a root checker (note: do not turn on SuperUser's Autoanswer, gives false information from some checkers), and ADB Wireless works while in range of a wireless router/source.
I am guessing that somehow the leftovers from SuperOneClick were affecting my results with Bin4ry's collected scripts.
Props to all that developed each of those programs and scripts.
I don't know if anyone will be seeing this but I hope it helps anyone needing the info.
Just curious to know if there is a rom available in case this method bricks the tablet? I bought this tablet a couple of weeks ago because I wanted to mess with one and I didn't have a lot of cash to spend. I use it daily and my kids play games on it. I can't afford to get another anytime soon, however I'd like to have it rooted so that I can remove factory installed apps that I don't want or need.
no idea

I have absolutely no idea. The only additional rom I have seen ANYWHERE is the Jellybean update for it (see driver link above). This seems to not be a very popular tablet to work with, going by the fact I received no help from anyone here. All research on this so far has been done by me. I stumbled on to Bin4ry's rooting method by accident. I'm not a ROMer, I don't know how to build one. Also I don't know which ROM backup method to use on it/will work with it.
Alright
I'll give it a shot during the weekend, I've grabbed the jelly bean update (thanks for the link). Hopefully all goes well. I figured there would be little to no support for this device, however due to a tight budget I chose to get this tablet.
I don't really mind the lack of support, however I'd like to have root because like on my old phone I had a few programs I used that required root.
Thanks again.
*Edit*
I attempted last night as I had free time to do the root method and unfortunately it did not work on my device. Not sure why it did not work. I'll try it again at a later time when I can. I also attempted to upgrade to 4.2 but it seems as though I am having issues with it as well.
Maybe I'm just stuck with the tablet as is

It may have been the sequence I used. Tried SuperOneClick several times (as above it said tablet was rooted but several apps said it wasn't) which installed su, busybox, and superuser. Then found Bin4ry's method, got temp root (tryied 1, 3, and Glass). Then went back to SuperOneClick and unrooted, returned to Bin4ry's and finally got it with Glass method.
Don't know if that helps
Well
After several attempts via Bin4ry and SuperOneClick I have obtained root on this tablet.
Not quite sure which actually did it though as with super one click it froze on me during both times I used it and each time I tried Bin4ry's method I kept getting messages about connecting my device (which was connected fro the get go).
After several tries with these programs yesterday and finally saying screw it I decided to add some apps that required root. I don't know why I did it I just figured it was worth a shot. I added Super User which told me I was rooted, then I added Titanium Backup and was able to use it as it is intended. For added measure I also installed and ran root checker which as well as super user verified that the tablet had been rooted.
Good to see that your were able to root.

So I think we can safely say that using both methods together + patience will root this tablet (don't know why one or the other wouldn't do it).

I have been trying to root AZPEN A701 for the past week, I have tried everything written on this forum. Any help PLEASE!
clean slate
Are you willing to do a full restart on the tablet (factory reset)? I had to do that before my root took, as I found on other systems that I have rooted some programs you load can interfer with rooting. Save any personal data before you do this, programs can be reinstalled from Google Play or (hopefully you saved them if you downloaded them) your computer
Factory reset:
Press and hold up volume button then press and hold power button. The screen will remain black (no backlight)
Wait 4 seconds then release both buttons (backlight will come on). Shortly the android on it's back with the open torso (the sick android) will be displayed.
Press the down volume button. You should see 5 options available- You are now in the System Recovery program.
Using the up or down volume button to highlight an option then press power to select the option.
1) select Wipe Cache Partition
let the unit reboot, then turn it completely off
reenter System Recovery again.
2) select Wipe data/factory reset
let the unit reboot, then turn it completely off
The system is as clean as it is going to get now.
On your pc (don't know for MAC's) download the drivers, Android programs needed (Android Debug Bridge -ADB- is part of the Android Development kit and some Java Development Kits), and both SuperOneClick and Bin4ry's root software. Install all software and drivers as per their instructions. Run SuperOneClick and Bin4ry's root programs. Busybox and SuperUser will be added automatically by these root programs.
While having wifi and internet access (McDonalds anyone?), re-sign up for Google Play (sorry, but the settings got wiped earler). Go to Google Play and let all the programs update. Update Busybox and SuperUser if needed/possible.
Download any root enabled file system browser (FSB) (permission will have to be granted in program to use root functions) - I used Ghost Commander for mine. It may take a bit to find it in the directory structure for the FSB you downloaded but you need to get to the root system folder.
Ghost Commander has a Local Storage option press it and an new list of folders/files will be displayed, move to the previous folder level (double dots at the top) and give permission to move to a system folder, move to the previous folder again to get to root directory, "/mnt" is the directory you just came out of and is highlighted but you will be at the root of the file system.
Enter the "/data" directory. If you can see files listed there, you have root; if not rooting attempt failed.
Once rooted, doing a system cleaning and Factory reset will not remove root but will remove SuperUser and Busybox (re-run one of the root programs to re-install then update the next time you are on the internet/web). Updating/upgrading the rom will remove root if the rom does not have root activated - I don't know of any custom roms for this tablet (there is a Jellybean upgrade in the Azpen website, if they haven't updated to the correct web address then use the one I listed on the front page, mediafire is spelled wrong in the address). Nandroid level system backup is not available yet for this tablet to my knowledge.
For several reasons, do not turn on SuperUser's automatically give permission option (the one that affects all programs), except on a one for one basis: 1) some root testing programs will fail if this option is turned on, 2) security: turning this on will allow ALL programs - including some malicious ones - to have super-user rights, 3) you will get to know which programs are asking for root permissions beforehand not after, you may want some to have automatic access (like DroidWall in my case, a firewall) and not others.
Also other information that can be useful:
/sdcard does not refer to the removeable SDCard but to the internal user data area. All programs that can be moved to a SDCard (like by Apps2SD) will be moved to this directory by default (some may allow re-assignment of the destination location) instead of the removeable SDCard (blame Azpen, it was their decision to use the directory and name that way). On most other systems /sdcard is the removeable SDCard.
/extsd is the removeable SDCard, when installed, maximum size is 32Gb.
/usbhost1 is for any usb flashdrive connected by a USB-OTG cable (OTG means On-The-Go, special usb cable that puts the tablet into host mode, similar to connecting a flashdrive to a computer, the cable is not a standard Data Connect/transfer cable, one USB-OTG comes with this tablet). Note about USB-OTG cables: if one is connected you can connect either a flashdrive, usb keyboard, usb mouse, combo keyboard/mouse unit, or a powered usb 2.0 hub. Only one flashdrive can be connected at a time (anyone know of downloadable software that would allow 2 or more? I know some modified kernels can allow more than one) so with a hub you can connect a flashdrive + keyboard + mouse (I use the RII wireless combo keyboard and mouse with mine). Maximum size appears to be 8GB, format must be FAT32; will be testing with a 16GB key shortly.
Azpen A701 and Jelly Bean
Shortly after I wrote the above I had to re-flash my tablet, but Azpen had deleted the ICS image (after a request it was restored to the site, get it while you can) and had to flash Jelly Bean. I found there were troubles with this image.
First: I could not write to either the external SDCard (called extsd) nor an attached USB flash key; reading was unaffected. I found this out when I attempted to reassign my backup location to the external sdcard and it was unable to create the directories.
Second: I couldn't find a rooting program.
After a little research, I found that the external media had not been given R/W permission in the platform.xml file - I could actually navigate the FS and read the file even without root.
Also I finally found after 2 days of searching a root program, VROOT, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434453, that would work. Be prepared to deal with Chinese for a little bit and follow the instructions on that page (press the buttons to see screenshots). The superuser app needed to fix/replace the Chinese app is SuperSU (Google Play) which supposedly fixes problems found with other superuser apps. Once you have downloaded SuperSU, had it download/update its binaries and have rebooted, you will have to disable the Chinese Superuser app as you are unable to uninstall it using the app manager: I located it by its icon (shield with cog) in /system/app and appened '.old' to the name: "Superuser.apk" => "Superuser.apk.old'. I didn't use Titanium Backup as suggested because I am not a fan of the program .
platform.xml is located in /system/ext/permissions. After you have root, open platform.xml in what ever text processor you want locally or transfer it to your computer and work with it. You will have to add '<group gid="media_rw">' to the 'WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE' group, on the line after '<group gid="sdcard_rw">' (don't type the single quotes but the double quotes are needed) and write the file back to its location (need root for that, adb pull/push may be possible to fix this). Remember on this tablet, sdcard refers to the internal user storage, media_rw will give permissions to the extsd (external sdcard) and USBHost1 (using included USB-OTG cable and a flash drive). I rebooted the tablet and tested the RW state of extsd, and voila, it now is write capable.
I wish there was more aid on this tablet but since it is not mainstream (not made by a big manufacturer like LG, Motorola, Samsung, etc.) I doubt that it is coming (I am not a ROMmer but have been using computers since the 80's, so I know a few tricks and am always learning). I will keep adding info as I find or fix it.
I will probably go back to ICS as some of my programs are not working right, and JB is sluggish.
I just picked up the A700 from Microcenter, and this is the ONLY reference to rooting the device I could find. The Azpen website doesn't even acknowledge the device's existence. I just came across this yesterday: Azpen A700 - Cyanogenmod forums. I used the Kingo method without a hitch.
Hopefully, all the other folks who get that tablet for the pre-Black Friday sale who found this link will benefit.

I picked up this tablet also. Not bad for $40. I used this method to root http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ It worked the first time. I just had to do it on an old XP machine. Windows 8 would not load the right android drivers. Now I'm working on getting Titanium backup to see my external SD card.

I am glad to see that others are taking an interest in this tablet.
I found 2 methods that worked and am glad that others are finding more.
Now if I can get the boot loader cracked I could finally make a nandroid copy and save myself 4+ hours restoring everything when it goes wonky. This has happened twice- OS partition fills up (and don't know why) and the device resets to near factory reset level (even some of the factory apps are missing) and won't install anything but the smallest of apps which are deleted on the next reboot; the only solution is to re-flash the tablet. Note that I have gone back to using ICS as JB has other problems (external media including its own sdcard partition is not rw enabled for one).
