I have had several go arounds with this problem. I finally got past it by a very odd maneuver. Yes, I am using Win7 (there are more than one version so I want to leap to the conclusion that some versions act differently).
Anyway I followed the second method of getting the drivers to load listed in "tips and tricks" stickey (modify Device Manager so hidden devices/drivers can be seen and deleted, I had over a hundred driver in at least four different locations to delete). When I observed the right type of device show up in Device Manager I pull the USB cable, crashing the install (on my PC the cable was only connected for between 1-2 seconds). Hopefully in the USB driver area there is a new composite device which I believe is needed. I then fired up the root script the instant I reconnect the device. Yes, PnP does take off again but the script is running too and it worked!
I can't say if I ever got the drivers in the nroot directory to load. I must have tried this a hundred times before I stumbled onto the crash the install by pulling the cable move. So in my Device Manager the new Nook had a working driver.
The other thing you need to be sure of is that you set USB debug switch and unselect the automount switch; which must be done everytime the Nook is turn on even if when you check they appear to be set you need to cycle through and reset them. I used the hidden keys application (Play Store), which works and has a built in OTA blocker along with a bunch of other stuff.
Good luck, let us know how it goes!

The most elaborate uses you have seen or done with the XDA!

Inspired by another post; I was wondering just what are people using their XDA's to do. I'll go first. This one's not my most productive application nor noble use of the device but it should get the ball rolling :mrgreen:
My friend was obsessed with this girl who wouldn't give him the time of day. So I recorded a conversation her and I had and emailed it to my friend via inbox for his personal collection :shock: (not proud ) but the things we do in the war of love for our friends suffering :roll:
I don't know what's unhealthier that he keeps a personal collection :shock: or that I would participate or encourage such behavior :shock: how old am I :roll: anyways boys will be boys :mrgreen:
(I just know I'm going to get a call from an Attorney tomorrow ....of all the websites she could read it will have to be this one:roll
Anyways I though that would be a good starter I actually pretty much push the device to it's limits in my day to day use of it as a business tool. I've been running a virtual office starting with Psion Devices back in 1991. I hadn't even graduated high school yet :shock: Over the years in the Entertainment Industry from 16 until now I developed a reputation of being the guy with the newest coolest gadgets, but they have always been strictly powerful tools to me giving me an edge on the competition. Sadly before other programs & Outlook became the predominant backup of your digital rolodex cards, I lost YEARS of acquired resources & Hundreds of numbers to a coin-cell battery drain one day . At one point in 1995 a producer, my boss! stole :shock: my latest Psion (he use to joke that the entire entertainment industry was in that little black book of mine), to get the information out of it. I was just a lowly intern :shock:.
At the time there was only really the hard way, by hand. So he denied it for weeks, finally gave up on what a monolithic task it was and it suddenly appeared in my desk drawer again:roll: I hadn't realized what I managed to achieve, something that at the time was unheard of. The paper equivalent couldn't be carried around with you nor the information accessible in a timely manner. It may very well have been the first portable/pocketable database/resource on the entertainment industry created :?: It's a total shame it was lost It would have been nice to show people what extraordinary accomplishments even the earliest of these devices could achieve. People still look at me funny as if all I'm carrying around is a calculator/cellphone combo. These devices still aren't even realized! :| I waited 11+ years for the XDA and I can almost taste the future of what I've been waiting for these devices to be able to do. OK I have to stop salivating now there is a Geek Crown waiting for me somewhere
I am just disappointed that 11 years ago the things I could do with these devices shocked people, as if it was some sort of parlor or unobtainable magic trick. Now 11 years latter companies and individuals still have no clue what they have in there hands or how to apply it. My parents to this day say "What do you want to be if you grow up?", but I refuse to surrendered my fascination with the future, my willingness to work hard to implement constant change and adaptation as an advancement to allow change as a whole to remain a good thing in my life. We have really gotten lazy. Change is only welcome if it is "so" user friendly that it does not require us to change the way we do anything, and only requires the illusion of more efficiency ok where's that geek crown
But seriously, what are the coolest things you've done with your XDA
This is a hotbed of super-geek infestation 8) lets hear the paces you've put this baby through :!:
That's freaking hilarious! Wonder if I know the girl.... I live over in Glendale.... doubt it but it is a small world!!
You live in Glendale?! :shock: She just moved to the valley :shock: ......you're not her attorney...
I'm surprised more people didn't want to share what they use their XDA for Maybe it's there are much worse uses than can be posted :shock: Do tell everyone. I'm a pretty conservative guy so I can only imagine what stories are out there :mrgreen: 8)
Well what to say.. You read my thought aloud

How are you rooted? Just nook&zergy rooted or running CWM and a different rom? If just the nook&zergy, do the 8 failed boot method (while unit is powering on hold power until it shuts off...repeat 8 times and it will auto factory restore. If you have working CWM recovery, you can flash a stock rom and be done with it.
Ooo
that's i was meaning
...
too difficult for me now...
i used the sd card method from albertwerz
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439630
thanks for yr help
Put the acclaim.zip on your sdcard and boot. (or go to B&N.com and download one of their stock roms and do the same. After the unit goes into sleep mode it will update. Your easiest way will be the 8 failed boots method methinks.
1 question though, why unroot? If you are using a stock rom that is just rooted, what's the point of removing that access? It's the same rom, only with SU access and market abilities. /shrug, to each their own I guess.
Know Fear because i made a big mistake:
i rooted as soon as i got the tablet, and i didn't took time to explore and understand how it worked, am totally new to android
i thought i could do it... but i'm finding it quite hard...
and i'm going to the states next week and hope to bring the tablet back to store to have the update to fix the available space...
maybe in the future i will have the needing of rooting it again.
what's this 8 failed boots method?
is it the stock rom from B&N???
Get Version 1.4.2 Today
To get the update manually, you can download the software update to your computer at any time and then copy it onto your NOOK Tablet. Simply follow the steps below. Manual Download Instructions:
Yes, that is what you will need. put it on an sdcard, and let the tablet go into sleep mode. It should update by itself.
i've done as told but nothing happened...
flash my recovery rom, flash stock recovery, and run unrooter app. Back to stock! See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495869
you can do this from any state through cwm, even from CM7, instructions are in the video

Ahh, I didn't think they had actually replaced the stock recovery. I assumed CWM was running from sdcard from your version. My mistake. Thanks for clearing that up Albert.

Seriously?? Please, don't ever do anything else with rooting until you learn to read. Research will get you much further than asking the same questions over and over...when the answer is 1 post up.
i'm really sorry
i didn't remember i already wrote the same things,
and as soon as i posted it i realised it was double...
and i try to correct...
anyway i didn't do anything, just pressing power and home button, and the nook asked me if i wanted to factory restore...
thanks again

Please be gentle with the Noob....

I haven't any idea where else to post this question. I'm an Army Vet. Massive PTSD and other psychiatric liabilities. I mention that as a preface to saying I don't get out of the house (well, Boat, actually much. However, I am always very intellectually active. I am fascinated and enthralled by my study of Android in particular and computing in general. I've been like a trained monkey on computers since they arrived on the scene. But the last year I am slowly becoming a geek (small 'g', please). I've taught myself rooting and a few other tricks, but in utter isolation. This site is my gold standard for information. The amount of time and energy that the senior and junior members pour into this site is truly amazing. Thanks.
Question - how would one go about finding a local mentor. I would like to find someone to discuss things with in person. This would, I know from my years at various universities, put wings on my otherwise slow learning curve. I've thought about going to the local university (in Portland, Oregon, otherwise known as the coolest, most Hip city on the Left Coast) but, as I say above, this is difficult. So, if anyone can throw me a bone in this regard, my finger will ache from hitting the 'thanks' button repeatedly. Again, to all you contributors, you Dudes are awesome, to say the very least. Your passion for all things Android is showing beneath you skirts .

PC Hardware Coverage for XDA in 2020

Hello everyone!
I didn't know where to really put this and the forums are still one of the places I feel most comfortable on the web.
In 2019 we did a far better job of covering more new PC hardware components than the previous year. Some of our reviews took longer than expected, but I stand behind my findings. Late in the year some personal matters required that I put the brakes on releasing new reviews. We ended the year with more reviews than before, but we still start 2020 with several reviews in the pipeline that were not completed last year.
In the past year we've taken your feedback. We understand not everyone is happy when a review doesn't come out the same day as the product releases. For those outlets this is their primary coverage. We work with what we can, and I'm very thankful that XDA continues to support the coverage as something beyond its primary coverage of Android and Android devices.. I do believe that our tests and reviews are both useful and necessary, no matter when they go live. Our continued focus on Linux serves an audience that even now still has very few in-depth reviews globally. Investigating situations that may be missed not only provides answers for questions that may be unanswered, but as I found out recently those lessons can still give answers years later.
I'm also very thankful for the XDA leadership and Portal team in their support and flexibility to continue this coverage while I am still dealing with some very serious personal matters. I wish at some point that I could explain just what is going on and how debilitating that can be at times. I suspect those who have gone through similar situations would understand. The only thing I can say is to please always take care of those around you. This goes beyond friends and family - think of the people you work or go to school with. How about the person you run into every morning? Everyone has their own life and not everyone may be having an easy go at it. Sometimes the hardest thing for us is to reach out for help. For others, that hardest thing may be offering help to others.
Try to help others when you can. When you need help, ask. You may find support in places you never expected. If you think something is going on that they may not be able to talk about, at least reach out and see if they may need help. Offer to be an ear or to even listen. They may not be able to tell you what's going on. They may not be able to take that assistance. But sometimes just knowing that there is support may do more than you see at the time. Donate not just to the big causes, think about how you can help others in your community. We're all trying to make our way through that journey that we call life.
I expect to resume writing again soon. Reviews where the tests have already been completed will be first up. Then we'll start with the reviews of components already here and ready to go into the test bench. I'm also looking into the possibility of resuming videos - something I stopped when I relocated in 2018. Most of the "behind the scenes" changes required for me to resume that was addressed last year. My biggest concern is honestly creating enough of a finished space so I don't have to set up and tear down between videos.
We've got even more planned for 2020 than we did the year before, so hope you'll stick around and continue reading our foray into something more than Android on XDA!
I'll review any hardware you ship to me!!!
I'll write a meticulous professional article informed by 30 years of reading hardware websites / BBSes.

Question Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro with CalyxOS?

Hello, I am currently a privacy novice trying to learn about different avenues of where I can get help to better protect myself. I see apple devices and I like the fact that they have a closed ecosystem per device, but I don’t like the fact that they are all interconnected with each other; it freaks me out that someone else with an Apple device could very easily connect to mine. That’s why CalyxOS stood out to me, because what it looks like from the outside-in is a decentralized form of android device, without all of the Google strings attached. I’d honestly rather use it than Graphene, because the people over on the graphene forums are kinda toxic to be honest. I have no knowledge of how to install operating systems, however, and I’m afraid that I could easily screw it up. Does Calyx sell any Pixel 6/Pixel 6 Pro models that I could buy to get started?
Welcome. I'm probably a terrible example but oh well. I had time to kill and been stuck on this topic myself since the early 90s.
If you're serious about privacy to the point that you are worried about other devices as you mentioned, I highly suggest (seriously, not trying to be a ****) you take some online courses on the fundamentals of telecommunications, and do some "light" reading on topics likeLinux Kernel, enterprise networking, Signals Intelligence, and Section 215 metadata collection. thats a decent starting point to the state of things. Though it's just a shinny coin on a string to distract while the real work continues. It must always continue. It will never stop.
I'm sorry to tell you.
It's too late. In any practical sense short of finding somewhere to go love in a cave until you starve or die from a infection a 99¢ tube of cream could have prevented.
You can have a privacy focused phone. It can keep certain things safe. Stop some people from doing things. Delay an outcome. You're gonna need to learn about installing an OS though. It gets pretty complex rather quickly.
Nothing is safe. Every lock can be picked or bypassed. There is no such thing as a door only you can use. The last place anything is truly a secret is in your head. When you are the only person in the entire world with the right permissions.
There was a window when we could have made meaningful and lasting choices in how protocols, standards, regulations, and laws were adopted. Back when it was all just a few hundred trunk lines, IXPs and NOC with good intentions, and tragically short sight. Lots of people screaming at the top of their lungs about the potential outcomes. Tinfoil hats were worn. Turns out we were right.
When you wrap your brain around what the "internet" really is...it's similar to getting a small sliver of understanding; grasping ever so lightly; the brain breaking inconceivable scale of the infinite universe and how infinitesimally small we are. The remnants of a dead stars clumped together pondering its own own existence. Connecting wires together and making things beyond our capabilities. The amount of data being exchanged right now ain't ****. It's bonkers, but it won't be next year, or next or the next.
The rate at which machine learning and the race to general AI is going, watch for the casualties along the way. one example is encryption as we know it. Gone. It'll be rendered trivial by 2040 MAYBE. Honestly that's a really high estimate. Likely before.
Post quantum encryption is just about as experimentally verifiable as string theory. Won't be long though before we get a chance to see if itll hold up. The Xbox is older than the time we have left. The Patriot Act as well.
Practice basic OPsec. Best Practices. Trust few, tell fewer. Read. Read some more. Then read the book. Every question you could ever think of likely has a 12 year old thread at a slackexchange site and no shortage of users ready to remind you how tired they are of duplicates. The community at grapheneOS is similar. On that though. Best to just go to the source. He tries to explain things without just speaking in jargon. Daniel Micay himself on the matter of android security.

There is no shortage of people currently who disagree with him even though they have little to no grasp on the complexity of what it is he actually intended. Ran into one of them myself, on this site, just the other day. Sure, It's hardneded, but what that means from user to user is drastically different.
It's more than some. It'll fit some use cases. But it's just a speck in a cloud. If you attract the attention of a human being with skills and motivation...good luck my dude. Godspeed.
The real thought experiment and one of my favorites to fall asleep to on nights I actually sleep is "what are they going to do with all the encrypted data they hoovered up and have been storing for the last 30-40 years? Once AI turns the encryption algorithms that humanity runs on into a half finished cheap dollar store sudoku." How long does any one reckon that'll be the case before us plebs hear about it. We got a good track record, as a collective species in doing the right thing, right? No way they will actually use what is functionally a rewind button on...well everything. Nah, it'll be fine.
Oh look, Lapsus$ group woke up, posted a new dump... Wonder how much Globant spend on securing their stuff. Probably more than me.
