my NT is not working, if you can please click here to help me
anyway, before that - when it was working, i tried to root it by using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354487
at debloat menu, i chose "extreme" because i want to delete all of B&N content. i just want a normal android tablet, i know i can still read books by using the NOOK app for android.
so i chose extreme mode. and the command prompt window closed right after that.
so my NT was rooted, but not successfully, it was even worse than it was before i rooted.
i open the batch file (NookandZergy.bat) to see what the command lines are to find the reason why it didn't work. and i saw this:
adb shell rm -r /system/app/Accessories.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i opened command prompt, and typed this. and i got something like "failed because the file is not exist." -> i knew the batch script was wrong in some ways. i was going to unroot and root again with the option "full debloat" (not extreme), but before i do that, i was trying to remove netflix, i wanted to type this to the command line to see what will happen.
adb shell rm -r /system/app/netflix.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but i accidentally type adb shell rm -r /system/app/, and then it removed everything in /system/app/
i got the error in the nook tablet's screen, i don't remember what the error is, but when i pressed "force close", it kept showing me that error, i tried about 20 times but still not work.
i turned off my NT, and when i boot it, it stuck at "read forever",
that's why i created this thread.
my question is: how do i do "extreme debloat"? i want to remove everything from B&N. can you please give me the correct "command lines" to do this? and how to use that "command lines"?
prepare a sdcard to boot into ClockworkMod (CWM) which is a custom recovery (replaces stock recovery). And from there flash this ROM, for extreme-debloat is easy you can modify the script just to debloat or i can make it for you. First focus in restore your system.
As i said in my last post in your other thread read my FAQ and you will find your what you need there, if you have any question me or any other user will try to help.
PS: here is post i made for a user about how to re-bloat but the thing is that i post the list of all the B&N apps for reference to you so it might be helpfull.

i have a little knowledge about batch file, so i think i can edit the script
(just edit the wrong file name -> make it become correct file name)
but i don't know what files are inside the folder /system/app/
for example: the file Accessories.apk is not exist, so how should i edit the script

Well you got the error probably 'cause when you ran the script it removed that file so when you typed the same command again it won't remove it because is already gone.
In the link i provided is the list of all the B&N applications that are removed in the extreme debloat option. So you basically have keep that part of the code plus the intro to get in adb shell.
In that post you will also find a link to the complete system/app folder just in case you by "playing around" with adb remove any important system app, so you can push it back.

no, when i chose extreme debloat, it closed the command prompt window, before it closed, i saw something "failed...". when i typed the command again it showed "failed...", i'm sure it's exactly what it said before,
and i know after debloat, it should go back and do other command like "thank you for using" (i read the batch file). i also saw B&N apps were still on my NT, debloat didn't work because of the missing file -> the script stopped.
btw, you said i can use adb to push the apps back. so that means i can also use adb to remove apps? can i not debloat when rooting, and after root, i use adb to remove apps later? will adb work at that time?
and can i use adb to explore what files are in the /system/app/ folder? or any other program?

Yes adb works at anytime even in dockworkers (CWM) .
To know how to use adb go to my FAQ (link below in my signature) and look in the how-to's made by me section for the how to use and install adb.
"adb shell rm -r" is one of the adb commands and is used for remove files.
adb shell = is to get superuser permissions (root/su)to run advanced commands.
rm = remove
-r = recursive

I didn't see a thread for this anywhere and it's not included in the rooting documentation so i figured I'd make one.
This will allow you to install apk files directly from the device, no need to adb them over. Just get the apk from the web or whatever source you want and install. Of course this is all assuming you have completed the current root process and have adb access already.
Thanks to godsfilth for finding these directions for the origninal nook.
1. Open a command prompt and navigate to your sdk tools folder
2. Run the following commands
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite> update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';
sqlite> .q
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
3. Reboot
4. Install apps from NC without ADB.
You might have to restart your homescreen for the apps to show up, but i've had sucess with every app i've tried that is known working on the NC.
This was done on a Windows 7 x64 machine, although i'm sure it's the same or similiar for Linux and MUC OSx.
Also, sqlite3.exe was already in my sdk tools folder, if it's not for you then you can download from here.
Yep, and you can ADB install a file manager app, then just use the file manager to install anything else, from the SD card.

So...the nook doesn't stop apps from deing installed if Iinstall them manger astro file Manger?
What is the command in sqllite to see if the db entry has been changed?
I copied & pasted your commands and after a reboot still get "Can't install downloaded apk"
I did the same - even adapted the commands because the folder name wasn't the same, etc.
However, I'm trying to use SlideMe to install APKs and it keeps coming up with "Install Blocked" - any ideas?

Once you enable this it will allow you to install the apps, it doesn't have anything to do with astro per se. You can just use astro to navigate to apks stored on your sd card. I use estrongs file manager myself and have installed apks from my sd card, dropbox and downloads from dolphin browser hd.
I'm getting the same error as everyone else.
I made the edits per your first post and pushed the file back to the NC. Then I rebooted. Placed an apk in the NC and tried to open it using Root Explorer. I try to install it and I get the "Installation of donwload apks is not supported" error.

Slideme works perfect for me so you did something wrong. Not sure what though, I would just redo it.

just use
Code:
sqlite3 settings.db ".dump"
and then scroll down and look for INSERT INTO "secure" VALUES(4,'install_non_market_apps','1'); you want a 1 there at the end.

look in your tools folder for the settings.db file and check the modified by time and make sure the change you are making is made.
To clarify if there's a misunderstanding the path info and text before the > in the commands is just what you would see in your command prompt. the actual commands are after the >. These are the actual commands.
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
sqlite3 settings.db
update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';
.q
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
What command did you have to alter?
also, maybe try
Code:
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
to push... I didn't have any problem with the other command and both appear to work for me.
Oh none, your commands worked awesomely, I just had to yank the folder designations that were there, which you've now done for everyone, so thanks!
I think it might be a problem somewhere else, I'm re-doing everything right now, I'll let everyone know
Ran these commands again with the additional adb push and still no dice. I checked to see that the db entry had been updated and it correctly has the install non market apps set to 1. I'm using root explorer as well I'll try estrongs as you have. Thanks for the help.

Confirmed now that SlideMe is not the issue - the settings are all correct on the PC, I can't confirm these settings for the NC. I tried re-adb-pushing and still no cigar here either. I'm getting app rejections from any source, downloaded on the NC and the SD card. Any idea what could be wrong?
Ok, definitely isolated the problem now.
I pull the settings from the NC, modify them, and everything works great, then it refuses to push it back, but says it succeeds, or something to this effect, because whenever I pull the file back from the NC, it says value=0

Not sure, I've got it working using this method on 3 different NCs myself. The only thing i can think of is that i had already installed estrongs file manager and a few other games before doing it. Maybe try using adb to install estrongs or astro and see if it will let you then.
estrongs i'm using: www mediafire com ?sxw6adfzvyp250m
astro: www mediafire com ?05scsbrnx2wfw4v

Thanks for the file links - I'll give them a try, I really think the problem though is that the NC keeps resetting the value I push back for the non-market apps. I have no idea why it's doing this...

try pulling it back right after pushing the modified one, before rebooting, and see if it's even pushing correctly at all. If it is then being reset on reboot i don't know what the issue is.
Novaglarion, I am not able to do it either.
When you say "reboot", is that the same as power off and on?

yes, the same.
make sure you're pushing the modified db file to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases not to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings
it needs to be in the databases folder so it overwrites the original

DAMN YOU!!!! such a simple thing and i missed it! You are correct. I'll update the original commands. Thanks for the good catch there.
Any one out there that can help me understand the last part of Adb.
lol.
I learned how to use Odin and superoneclick.
Now I am on Adb.
I read all I can on Team Whiskeys and XDA website and other googled websites. I installed everything and did the My computer/system properties/advance/Enviroment Variables/Path entries.
I start ADB and then I do in command prompt "adb devices" and whoopie I see my phone.
NOW WHAT?
No body on the instructions or website that I have read goes past that.
How do I push down a Rom to overwrite the system with the new Rom I want to try?
Hope someone out in the Forum has really done this before and will post how they do it.
Need to find someone smart enough to finish the instructions.
Thanks,
CatfishKnight
with adb you can copy files to your sd card or system without ever having to mount your sd card to your phone. that's the main thing I use it for
for instance, I have a rom named Trigger_281.zip on my desktop, to push it I would do
Code:
adb push Trigger_281.zip /sdcard/Trigger_281.zip
you can also pull files by using "adb pull <location of file on phone>"
and so on.
Furthermore if you ever need shell access you can do "adb shell" and run unix commands from console instead of on the phone

Thanks for showing me how to push to my phone. Now do I install it. In recovery mode as a zip? I thought adv installed it and I just rebooted and it was installed.

It just moves the file to the phone. You have to flash the file yourself if it is a flashable.
You can push a .jpg file if you want, it doesn't matter, it only moves it.
And I think you're getting confused with the 'adb install' command. You can install NON-system APKs by doing that.
Code:
adb install someprogram.apk

I guess I was confused on what ADB could do.
I thought it could push down a Rom and install it onto the phone.
Then I would disconnect it and reboot the phone and I would have the newer rom installed.
I didn't know that it only pushed the ROM onto the sdcard and then I would install the zip from the phone itself.
Finally I got an answer to my question.
LOL.
I have tried on the team whiskey site to and no one answered it. Also all the stuff I read on it really didn't tell me that either.
I really appreciate your answer in helping me understand it.
I am also using Trigger 2.8 like you. But you said you had Trigger2.8.1 saved??
I have only seen Trigger 2.8 today.
^ birgertime is the developer of Trigger. He is already cooking something new in the kitchen.

Duhhh... I missed that... LOL. I am brain fried!!! I have installed Odin, SuperOneClick, and ADM. I have be learning all three but was having trouble with understanding what ADB could do. Been reading lots and lots about it all day. Whew. I am tired. Ever instruction got down to connecting and seeing your phone and then it would end there. Finally I got an answer from Birgertime. Thanks.
I have 4 different roms saved to my phone to switch between if I want too. But I love Trigger 2.8 with Overclock v2. Also I am seeing 9 sats out of 11 on my gps. With Overclock v2 and using CPUBoostPro I am right at 2000 with Quadrant.

If Temp Root was worth messing with at all, IMO it was worth messing with in order to do a titanium backup. That's what I was able to successfully with the method below.
I haven't seen this thread's equal here in the 3D forums, so I figured I would repost. All credit where credit is due! Teamwin and then Joel.bourquard for this write-up/slight modification to teamwin's solution.
SO: basically follow the write-up below exactly. I downloaded Titanium Backup and Superuser directly from the market before beginning. Also, after you've finished his steps you can simply click to open Titanium Backup (no need to fool with Superuser) and it'll recognize root, find all your programs(including system data/programs), etc etc. Works like a charm!
NOTE for NOOBS: Download the attached zip --I've included the needed ADB files as well. Attach your EVO 3D using a USB cord and make sure USB debugging is turned ON (check in Settings-->Applications-->Development) and also make sure you aren't letting your PC access your SD card (go to Settings-->Connect to PC and change default to "Charge Only")
Once you've downloaded and unzipped them, open a command prompt (start menu, type "cmd" and type enter). Once in the command prompt, navigate to wherever you downloaded/extracted the zip. FROM THERE, type in each command in the writeup below EXACTLY AS WRITTEN (with quotation marks and everything). Once you've done the last ste (adb shell "/data/bin/root.sh") you can grab your device and open Titanium Backup and VOILA!
----
THE WRITE-UP
Type these commands AS WRITTEN into your cmd prompt after you've (1) downloaded superuser and Titanium Backup from the market (2) downloaded and extracted the zip and (3) navigated your command prompt to the location where you extracted those files.
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp/
adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp ; chmod 755 fre3vo ; ./fre3vo"
adb shell "mkdir /data/bin ; mv /data/local/tmp/fre3vo /data/bin/"
adb push su /data/bin/
adb push root.sh /data/bin/
adb shell "chmod 4555 /data/bin/su ; chmod 755 /data/bin/root.sh"
adb shell "/data/bin/root.sh"
BINGO! Now open Titanium Backup and you're good to go!

Looks great, yet i have a question..... In your instructions.....you make a command which I believe means to create a new folder.... You use "mkdir"........ I have a lot of
Or school DOS commands in my head and it reminds me of the MD make directory command... Is mkdir correct ?
mkdir is the long version of md, IIRC....
at first i wasn't gonna bother with temp root, but one of the things i did need was titanium backup to restore a bunch of data.
this worked absolutely perfect!
thanks for the great write up
Hello,
I am having a major problem... earlier today i made a backup of my ics'd out v8 rom in order to try the new CM7 Kang. I got the kang running but needed to install gapps. For some reason rom manager was not letting me install it from there because it wasn't an updated version of rom manager and i couldn't get an updated version. So i figured I would go back to my ics'd rom, download gapps on the sdcard, and then go back to cm7 to install... NOPE.
Every time I try to restore my backup I get md5 mismatch error. I went through a bunch of different threads for different phones and tried all the adb stuff it said and nothing worked. For some reason when I ran the command (given here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114) "cd /sdcard..." the pound # changed to a > and everything I typed would just be repeated back at me. The phone never even asked for superuser permission. I am pretty sure that I have the adb stuff right since when I type in "adb devices" in command I see the device, but I just have no clue how to fix this. Maybe the instructions given on this page only applies to that particular phone?
I would really like to be able to recover this backup and if anyone has instructions on how to fix this error on this phone it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
ADB was working if you got a # prompt
Custom kernels are almost all "insecure" kernels - ADB sessions automatically have root permissions.
This was the case for you - a # prompt means you have root privileges.
A $ prompt means you don't
A > prompt means that something you typed on the previous line made the shell decide you wanted to type more before executing the command. Control-C will break out of this. So if you got a > prompt after the "cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/blahblah" command - you mistyped something on that line. Possibly you put a ; in there by accident, or you have opening quotes without closing quotes
There is a comment later in that thread "the folder name for your backup couldn't have spaces in it" - Weird characters in the directory name would be a possible cause of your cd command failing.
CWM should never have created a folder name that behaves like this, unless you did a nandroid backup using ROM Manager. If you did - another reason NOT to use ROM Manager.
Did you change the file name of the backup? make sure there is no spaces in file name. hope this help.
I would just download gapps to computer then move the file to phone. Then reboot into cwm and flash galls.

I did change the name from the original name, I added like "ics'doutv8siyah2.6.1blahblahblah" to the beginning so that I could distinguish which backup was which. Could this make a difference? I mean I have done this before without issue.

I think I read on one of the pages that you could take the nandroid.md5 from another backup and replace it with the one in the nonworking backup, is this true and would it work?
Ok nevermind, I forgot to do the ADB thing again xD it worked... THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Most likely.
I usually rename my backups manually to something like romname_date in ADB
e.g.
villainrom_1224
I NEVER put spaces or other characters in the rom name
Right now I think I have:
modstock_1128
villainrom_1224
uckk6_1224
one other ROM...
Ok guys I'm sorry, it happened again... except this time I think it may be a problem with ADB. When I am in adb shell, it shows up as "~ #" instead of just "#", however, typing "su" changed it to just "#". However, in both instances ("~ #" and "#") it gets an error:
~ # cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-22.18.04.05
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-22.18.04.05
/sbin/sh: cd: can't cd to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-22.18.04.05
and
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-22.18.04.05
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-22.18.04.05
cd: can't cd to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-22.18.04.05
This is the original name, there are no spaces, I checked the driver for the phone, etc.
Anyone got any ideas?
Oops double post -_-
Try tab-completion (type part of a directory name and hit tab - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, usually should work when ADBing into CWM), and use "cd" and "ls" to navigate through directories instead of just pasting the whole path.
ls = same thing as dir in DOS
Alright so I did that and found out the sdcard isn't mounting...
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell
~ # su
su
# ls
ls
acct fota.rc recovery.rc
app-cache init res
cache init.goldfish.rc sbin
config init.rc sdcard
customkernel init.smdkc210.rc sys
d init.smdkv310.rc system
data init_kernel_only.rc tmp
dbdata lib ueventd.rc
default.prop lpm.rc ueventd.smdkc210.rc
dev misc ueventd.smdkv310.rc
efs mnt vendor
etc proc
# cd /mnt
cd /mnt
# ls
ls
asec obb sdcard secure usb
# cd /sdcard
cd /sdcard
# ls
ls
#
I also went into root explorer and it said "SD card is not currently mounted"
...uhhh I feel like a noob to ask this but, how do you mount it? xD
The thing is, though, that it dismounts when I plug it into the computer to transfer files/adb, but it is mounted afterwards...
Hi guys, having an odd problem.
I've made some nandroid backups (about three) via CWM Recovery, and I can't seem to browse to them, or delete them.
It's definitely taking up space, and I'm not sure what to do now.
A backup that I made straight to my external SD card however, seems to be browse-able, so I'm a bit confused now.
Attached are some screenshots from ES File Browser (with root access turned on).
The last screenshot is going to /storage/sdcard0/clockworkmod/ (same directory, but now I can't seem to see anything about "backups").
I've also tried to delete these backups straight from CWM Recovery, but CWM says that it can't access the folder.
Oddly enough, if I do another backup (straight to internal), it seems to put all the files in /sdcard/Clockworkmod/backups but never to be accessed again.
Anyone have any ideas?
Delete via Windows Explorer .

Thanks for the suggestion, but nope, that didn't work. (Obviously tried that first).
The folder was shown as empty via Windows.
After a lot of digging and trying different things (including Root Explorer and Terminal Emulator), I've managed to delete it.
I'll post the instructions so other people who may have similar problems in the future can follow it.
First, you'll need ADB and you'll need to reboot into CWM Recovery.
Once you've gotten that sorted, boot into CWM Recovery and go to "mount and storage" and then select "mount /data".
This will mount the /data structure which we need to use.
Afterwards in CMD, use the following:
Code:
adb root
adb shell
After this, you should be logged in as ~ (root)
Proceed to go into the directory using the cd function. (PROTIP: Use the ls function to check where you're going.)
You need to get to ../clockworkmod/backup/
You'll find that you can finally access the /backup/ folder, and you'll then be able to delete the files. Please note that the below command will delete ALL the files within this folder.
Code:
rm -rf *
Afterwards, do
Code:
cd ..
to get back to the ../clockworkmod/ folder and then run the below code to delete the now empty /backup/ folder:
Code:
rmdir backup
no, to be logged in as root you need to type in "su"
