[Q] Sideloading issue, 1.4.2. "Archive" and then "Unarchive"? - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I posted in another thread, but I don't think anyone will see it. I recently rooted (using http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1529553 method), and have been able to access the market and download apps that way, but I'm unable to sideload them. When I try to open any app it says "Unable to install. This application was not able to install onto your device. Please "Archive" and then "Unarchive" the application to try again." I have an SD card inserted (I saw this might be the problem in another post), and the above error comes up when I attempt to sideload the Amazon market and the HomeCatcher app. My unknown sources box is checked. :/ Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was having the same problem...here is how I fixed it:
1) Download Root Explorer
2) Download SQLite Editor
both cost money, but well worth it to be able to side load anything you want!!
3) open root explorer
4) go to: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings
5) click "settings.db"
6) click "secure"
7) change "install_non_market_apps" from 0 to 1
You should be good to go now!

When I went to change the value, it was already set at 1. Am I perhaps trying to sideload incorrectly? On my nook, I download the .apk file, then open it and select "App Installer" (although I tried "Package installer as well), and then it should work right? Maybe my root is incomplete somehow? I have root access and was able to view and change files so I assume the root is fine.

Run root checker. And run fix permissions too.

Package install
I have read elsewhere here to always use Package Installer when given the option.

Use package installer. If it was already set to 1, then it should work. If not, try unchecking the allow unknown sources in NT hidden setting, and then go back to the earlier instuctions and see if it is at 0 or 1. If at 0, now change to 1.
Hope that works

Still not working. Maybe I'll try to restore to factory, then re root. Can I make a bootable SD card and boot my nook from it now (already rooted)?

I can not vouch for other methods but I have rooted this tablet with SuperOneClick ver. 2.1.1. If you leave "Exploit" on "auto" and click "root" you will be pleasantly surprised. Took me two tries, but if you turn on usb debugging in settings and leave the screen timeout on 30min your golden. Happy rooting.... I'm also uploading a google apps zip file. I unzipped it and installed all the files in the corresponding places to get a working Android Market. I used Android Commander to move the files & install apk's. *NOTE* You need to install the apps in the "/sysem/app" folder in this order...
1. GoogleServicesFramework.apk
2. OneTimeInitializer.apk
3. SetupWizard.apk
4. Talk.apk
5. Vending.apk
6. Gmail.apk
7. Maps.apk
After... Restart, Connect to wifi, and launch Market. You will be prompted to sign in to google. Then you will see Market License blah blah blah...
*Use the attached zip not the one at the following link* But use this link as a guide if you need it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827209
Have fun.

****THIS METHOD WORKED FOR MY IMPRESSION 10 MODEL # i10-50, but UNTESTED by me on other models****
***EDIT*** Sorry guys... you were unlucky because I forgot something crucial.... THE DARN ADB DRIVER.... You will need to go into the device manager and right click the "Android" device with exclamation mark & click update driver. Search for the driver and point the installer to this folder should work on 32 & 64 bit if my edits are correct... Tested on 64 bit Windows 7.

Also when you install those "/system/app" files above use Android Commanders "Installer" and install them one at a time in the order above. AND AFTER YOU RESTART USE LAUNCHER AND NOT SETUP OR YOU CAN'T ACTIVATE YOUR WIFI.
I tried both methods,
SuperOneClick and Gingerbreak both did not work.
The table is running android 2.3.1.

Do you have usb debugging turned on, and did you use the latest version of SuperOneClick. For me it stalled when my screen timeout was to short and locked me out of my tablet when the screen cut off. Second time around it looked like it was going to fail, stalled and then prompted me to ok the install of busybox... etc etc. I am also running android 2.3.1 and it worked for me. Just have to keep trying till you get it.

Fails
I've also tried this on my husband's Impression 10 - same model i10-50. Can you give some details of how you rooted? What programs did you use besides Android Commander and SuperOneClick 2.2.1? Any help would be appreciated.
i just got an impression 10 as well. i10-50 model with android 2.3.1. im interested in more in depth info on rooting it as well. i tried updating firmware from the page it gives from the box. instructions to download the system.img file from the impression site. but i am not sure how long it takes? when i loaded the file on sd card and restarted (power+vol-) one time it stayed on the blue screen with the white status bar for like over a half hour. i thought it froze and restarted. when i tried it another few times the blue screen disapeared and i got a screen full of multi colored lines all down it. when i reseted.you could still faintly see those lines even when its running normaly. its faintly in background and you can see it more on certain pages or folders u open. my first tablet and i wish there was more info on it. any clue what im doing wrong?
dude i do customer suport forthis tablet, as u may know by now............it sux
leader Impression I10-50 firmware update
In order for the firmware update to be completed successfully, u need to first format your sd card via sd card reader or your tablet as follows:
Plug in the tablet via usb to your PC or load your card reader with sd card
Then select and left click whatever removable disk drive your tablet shows up
Select format and make sure the file system is set at FAT32
Select start, your sd card should begin formating.
Once complete, then u follow the 13 steps, but since you have already started step 1-13, just press your -volume and power buttons at the same time (steps 11 and 12 again) and it should update your tab. Be sure to do it twice as far as the volume and power button go so the update completes successfully.
I cannot seem to get this thing to root....tried the above with the external sd unmounted and then removed. Followed the instruction on the gtab post. All I can see is the external sd card. It did install superuser. Without the sd it gets stuck at Step 6.
It took awhile....but switched to EZ File Explorer. And I was able to see the internal sd and copy the files Then was able to install the market! Life is good!
edit: nevermind

Do you know if the root is reversible in case you need to put it back to the factory default? Would installing the image file on the Impression website reset the tablet back to stock firmware?

Thanks for the reply. About that file program you used, the only one I can find with a similar name is "ES File explorer". Is that the one you used?
I can't get it to copy the files over in the system directory, it acts like its write protected and fails the copy. I must be doing something wrong.
Oops yes ES File Explorer...
Need go to settings.... Open menu, choose Settings Check Root explorer and mount file system...
I'll probably just give up on this. This still isn't wanting to write/copy the files. This is the whole reason I returned my Nook Color before because of the hassle it takes to do this.
edit: it copies a few files, but then some files it says it failed.. like the "maps.apk" file.
Had a few apk's not move as well. I think map was one of them. Just followed the install order and did those from the external sd.....all worked out.

Thank you for your help. I finally got it working, I spent hours on this.
But I decided to try that original posts recommendation of using the program "Android Commander". I had to search to find it, but its a Windows program that makes it much easier to copy files over to the root directory. (although I had to change a setting it in so that it auto closes the log window after it copies, otherwise you can't close the log window, or do anything else until its closed).
I wasn't able to copy the maps with that either though, it gave the error that there wasn't enough space. But it seems to be working fine now.
Impression i10-50
I bought the i10-50 and actually love the tablet. With google market installed (update firmware first), I have full access to the market and no problems installing apps. The only con about the tab is no gps. To install the market, I only downloaded the google apps file and installed the apks in the correct order and that was it. No need to root. I am truly enjoying this tab now.

Hidden Settings App

Hi,
I cannot post on the development forums so I am posting here.
I have installed the new hidden setting application and have rooted the 1.4.1 firmware for the nook tablet. However nothing I do (reboot / wait) gets the unknown sources hack to work. Every time the button is unchecked as if the fix did not work. I do not get any errors when it runs but the firmware never recognizes that it has happened.
Does anyone happen to have any ideas on how this can be fixed?
Thanks!

Did you check to see if it definitely works with 1.4.1?
Same problem here. Unknown sources won't work @ routed 1.4.1
setting unknown sources value
I had the same problem with the "Hidden Settings" app from brian21. I have both root explorer and SQLite installed. So I used root explorer to modify the value of 'install_non_market_apps' of "1" in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db. I then rebooted and the "install no-market apps" setting now persists. I could step-by-step this process if what I'm saying is not clear.
Pogodog, please list your step by step. I would love to see if this allows Amazon apps to install. Sideloading them is a real pain...
Step by step Changing "unkown Sources db"
First you have to have root explorer and SQlite installed. I had these already with the rooted 1.4.0 using Android Market.
First I ran the hidden settings app from brian21 and went ro "Application Settings" and set "Unknown Sources". I doubt this step is really necessary, but I was just doing what I could to duplicate the process used in brian21's app.
Then I ran root explorer which starts at root.
Traverse to: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
press data
press data
press press com.android.providers.settings
press databases
press settings.db (Note SQlite will be invoked)
press secure
Find the line with "install_non_market_apps" and press and hold the "value" entry.
Select "Edit Field" and change from "0" to "1" press save.
Back out of root explorer and reboot.
Hope this helps!
Any working solution if we don't have SQlite?
I tried copying settings.db to SD card, making the change with another free db program, and copying the modified file back to nook.
This resulted to a frozen nook when rebooted.
The only thing I can suggest is to get the SQlite apk and install it via adb.
Thanks Pogodog, this fix worked great. I now can use dropbox again to install apps.
Thanks so much pogodog! This solved two issues for me:
1) "Allow unknown sources" now stays checked
2) I can (finally) install from the Amazon Appstore directly rather than the tedious process I'd been using.
I did have to buy SQLite and Root Explorer. I tried a few of the free alternatives and none would give me the needed access.
"NT Hidden Settings" will do this for you in the "Hacks"->"Unknown Sources Hack". Just run that and reboot. The thing it doesn't tell you is that you should install busy box first.

HELP!! Signature verification failed w/ non-official Cyanogenmod 10 ROM for Sanei N10

Hello everyone. Let's see if anybody can help me, because I'm pretty stuck with this.
Note: I've already searched high and low for solutions to the "Signature verification failed", but they either don't work or don't apply here.
I've tried to install the following ROM from xda-developers in a Sanei N10:
Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 for many AllWinner A10 tablets
I've installed it following the usual procedure:
- Press Vol+ and Power to get the Recovery menu
- Select Wipe data/factory reset
- Select Wipe cache
- Install the three ZIP files: "cm10_a10_20120913.zip", "gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip" & "n10_compatibility_1.2.1.zip"
The problem is, even though the first ZIP with the ROM installs successfully, the second one (the one with Google's apps) refuses to install, showing instead the message "signature verification failed". The same happens with the third ZIP (N10 compatibility).
So the installation doesn't actually finish. If I reboot the tablet, it runs Cyanogenmod 10, but the touchscreen doesn't work (I have to plug a USB mouse to interact with the operating system).
So what do I do to avoid the dreaded "signature verification failed" message? Just in case if it's of any help to identify the problem, I'll mention that I can see the Android bot laying down with a red triangle with an exclamation when entering the Recovery menu.
I've tried to use the ROM Manager which is preinstalled with Cyanogenmod 10, but when choosing "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" it says that "The SD Card needs to be mounted to use ROM Manager". Of course my MicroSD is properly mounted (I can see its files in the card from console, from the "Terminal Emulator"). I think this happens because the MicroSD is mounted in /storage/sdcard1 instead of in /storage/sdcard0, but I can't change that. I can't download APKs from the browser, either, because it also says something similar about not being able to access the SD (even though it's correctly mounted and can see it mounted from Settings > Storage).
I've also tried the CyanogenMod A10 ROM available in this page, which is more recent (October instead of September):
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/3870...mod-10-tweaks/
But the same happens.
I've even tried installing the CWM Recovery ROM, but it doesn't let me installing that from the Recovery either (same message about the "signature"), and with Odin3 it doesn't work either because I don't know how to reach the "download mode", which is needed for Odin3. Pressing Vol+ and Power I get the Recovery, but not the Download mode. Does anyone know how do I get to the download mode in the Sanei N10?
Any idea about how to solve this? Right now I have a tablet with no touchscreen and not even Google applications (so I don't even have the Play Store), so it's practically worthless (at least the WiFi works). How can I get this tablet back to being usable?
Did you fix this? I want to get this tablet and most likely want to root and rom it but if this is the case...

No, unfortunately I still couldn't fix it
There's nobody here in xda-developers who can help me? Surely somebody must know enough to help me find a solution.
I've tried creating a symbolic link from /storage/sdcard1 to /storage/sdcard (it doesn't exist right now), but it just says "link failed Read-only file system" (I was root, by typing "su" and clicking "Allow" in the Superuser window). So, I can't create symbolic links even while being root user? I need this link so ROM Manager can detect my SD Card (it says it's not mounted but it really is, but in "/storage/sdcard1").
Also, the gapps package linked in the ROM page above seems not to be properly signed, even though it has that "-signed" suffix in its name. I always get that "signature verification failed" error message. But now I've tried downloading a more recent gapps package (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) and that package finally worked! BUT, even though it apparently installed successfully, I still can't see any Play Store icon, nor any other Google app (Gmail, etc.). Why? Those icons should appear after installing gapps, shouldn't they? Maybe this newer "gapps" package is somehow incompatible with this tablet? (is this even possible?).
Also, even though I can now install the newer "gapps" package, I still can't install the "n10_compatibility_1.2.1.zip" file (I still get "signature verification failed" for that ZIP), which, I guess, contains the drivers needed for the N10 so the touchscreen works (currently it doesn't, and I have to use a USB mouse to use Android in this tablet). Any ideas? I'm getting tired of trying 9485738489754935627 things with no good result . I guess Android is showing here its Linux roots...
I think the key here is managing to install a new Recovery ROM that doesn't care about signing, but how do I do that? I can't install through ROM Manager because I get that error about the SDCard needing to be mounted to use it (and it's really mounted), and then I can't create the /storage/sdcard symbolic link because I get that "link failed Read-only file system" error. Also, I can't use Odin3 because I can't manage to put this tablet in Download Mode. Aaaargh! There's no good solution
Any ideas?
Bump!
I have same problem, i think that we need a different compatibility file, or perhaps if we could open install any app like Novo7 we could fix it... hope that anyone have the solution.

Thanks for replying. If we could find some way to install a new Recovery, then we'd probably by able to get the N10 Compatibility file working. This can't be that hard to do, but I've tried lots of things, and none of them worked...
Anyone?
Please, someone help!

I'm having the same issue with [ROM][CM10/10.1][21 Dec] Codename Lungo
Well, at last I could finally solve the problem thanks to chris5s from this forum.
These are the steps that worked for me:
1. Download the latest ClockWorkMod for Allwinner A10 tablets from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802268
2. Put all three files in the ZIP inside the root of a MicroSD card and insert it in the tablet
3. Check from the Terminal app inside the tablet to see if the MicroSD card is mounted in /sdcard (just type "ls /sdcard").
4. If the "ls" command doesn't show anything (that's what happened in my case), then you must modify the "install-recovery.sh" file and replace all instances of "/sdcard" with "/mnt/extsd".
5. With the proper "install-recovery.sh" file, run the commands specified in the above xda link (in my case the card is in "/mnt/extsd" instead of "/mnt/sdcard" as the original example shows):
su
cd /mnt/extsd
sh install-recovery.sh
sh reboot-recovery.sh
6. The tablet will then reboot to CWM recovery. Then follow the regular steps to install Cyanogenmod (wipe plus install ROM + GApps + Compatibility). This time the Recovery menu won't care about the files being unsigned and will install them right away!
I hope this helps somebody else!
hey i just registered because i have been having the same exact problem i read that you fixed it but how can i get in to the tablet if im not able to do any movements after it boots ???

Hello "lesanei"
I just noticed your posts. Let's see if I can help you...
The touchscreen doesn't work because the appropriate drivers were not installed (because of the "signature verification failed" issue). So you need to connect a USB mouse (and preferably a keyboard too) to the tablet. The Sanei N10 should come with a USB to micro-USB adapter. If you don't have it, you can buy it for cheap here.
Since there is only the one USB input in the tablet, you can't connect two USB devices at the same time. What I did use is a wireless mouse+keyboard combo which only needed one USB dongle for reception. If you don't have that, you can just connect a USB mouse and type with the on-screen-keyboard using the mouse. It's annoying, but it works
When I say "modify the install-recovery.sh file", I mean the file inside "cwm_recovery_6.0.1.2_a10.zip". You can modify it from your PC if you prefer. You don't have to do it in the tablet if you don't know how to use the "vi" editor (command line editor). Just open the "install-recovery.sh" file in Wordpad (do not use the Notepad, because it doesn't support Unix line endings so it shows the file incorrectly) and replace all instances of "/sdcard" with "/mnt/extsd". So the file contents should look like this:
#!/system/bin/sh
if busybox test ! -f /mnt/extsd/recovery.img; then
echo no /mnt/extsd/recovery.img
exit 1
fi
cat /mnt/extsd/recovery.img > /dev/block/nandg
sync; sync; sync
echo done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then place all three files ("recovery.img", "install-recovery.sh" and "reboot-recovery.sh") into your MicroSD card. Then safely extract it from your PC, insert it in the tablet and type this from the Terminal:
su
cd /mnt/extsd
sh install-recovery.sh
sh reboot-recovery.sh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then follow the regular steps to install Cyanogenmod and this time all files should install sucessfully, so when rebooting, touchscreen and everything else will work.
Let me know if it works for you.

ZTE Maven Z812--permanent rooted terminal and read-only system root (no kingoroot)

my method here will give you a permanent rooted shell and will give you read-only system root which is useful for using root apps to backup data or freeze system apps--works just like real root without being able to delete system contents--freezing apps however works like a charm and should reduce the need for rw root anyway
FOLLOW DIRECTIONS EXACTLY--I WILL NOT RESPOND TO STUPID QUESTIONS--PROBABLY WON'T RESPOND TO ANY QUESTIONS BECAUSE MY DIRECTIONS ARE PERFECT, WORK PERFECTLY WHEN FOLLOWED, AND ARE EASY TO READ. FOLLOW ALL STEPS EXACTLY. IF IT DIDN'T WORK, IT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR ERROR
This works best from a factory reset device, but will work from a already used device but all other root apps and superuser apps must have their data deleted and be uninstalled first
1) make sure device is at least 50% charged--doesn't matter most of the time; better safe than sorry
install latest superuser apk
http://www.mediafire.com/file/dx854fsys5pvxjh/SuperSU.apk
install dirty cow root apk (croowt) [comes from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/root-tool-dirtycow-apk-adb-t3525120
http://www.mediafire.com/file/1hbey829hc7676a/CRooWt.apk
make sure usb debugging is activated in developer settings and make sure you have accepted the debugging access prompt on the phone for the computer you will use
make sure you have an external sdcard installed--the smaller the better for this first time
2) open dirty cow root apk
choose "get root"
choose "method 1"
hit "ok"
choose "ok"
app will direct you to unmount and remount sdcard, choose "ok" and it will take you to storage settings
unmount sdcard
remount sdcard
when finished proceed to step 3
3) open superuser
do not update su binary
go to settings and make the default action "grant"
remove any and all apps from superuser log including the croowt app
3) THIS MUST BE DONE FROM A REAL TERMINAL ON A PC--TERMINAL EMULATORS WILL NOT WORK FOR THIS STEP
from a working pc with adb setup, preferrably linux, input commands exactly as listed
adb shell
su
setprop persist.sys.k P816A06
reboot
5) once rebooted, open dirty cow root apk again
choose get root
choose "method 2"
hit "ok"
choose "ok"
if app asks you to open with a browser, choose one, and choose "always"
screen will go black, systemui will crash and then reboot
6) once systemui is back up and running
you now have read-only root
you can now freeze system apps or backup your data using apps that require root
Your shell will be permanently rooted when accessed from a computer using adb--this will last forever unless you undo the setprop
Your system however will only be temp, read-only rooted until the phone is rebooted.
If you wish to have your temp, read-only root reactivated, all you have to do is repeat step 5 and that is it.
You can do this over and over again.

Does this only work to back up or freeze applications?

ACTUALLY READ the first sentence of OP
I don't see how freezing system apps would negate the need for a real root method? Is this "Read-Only" root method working with lucky patcher or Kernel Auditor?
Can this be used to bypass the subscription check for tethering? I assume not since system isn't writeable.
Does this method work in the ZTE Maven 3 (Z835)?
I'm doing it wrong, probably
First of all, thank you so much for doing this. I've been following that other thread since it was new, and you've put far more effort into this than the phone or most of us deserve.
I've gotten stuck trying to run Dirty Cow. I have USB Debugging enabled, adb installed on my Linux computer which recognizes my Maven (i.e. I've allowed access on the phone), etc. It eventually goes from "Checking vulnerability" to "Your device is not vulnerable" and I'm unable to proceed to the "Get root" step. What am I doing wrong? Might be some recent system update? Probably less effort to just buy a Galaxy.
Please be gentle. I know I'm a noob.
z812 root
I previously rooted my maven with kingroot and the dirtycow exploit.sh file and today I was overwhelming the device by running multible windows and apps and the phone rebooted and root was still intact....haven't rebooted it again yet but I shall.

1 Manually delete kinguser app from /system/app part, and then install supersu from play store. The result it just says what su binary is occupied.
2. Install BusyBox. Download this popular replace_kinguser_with_supersu_2.4.zip and 2.0 files (this ones with mrw folder) and run it. Supersu installs, asks for update and su binary update. Yes, yes, looks great, but doesn't work. When running any root app, like terminal emulator, nothing happens, no auth prompt pops up.
3. Reroot with older kingroot version (4.5), do the same as 2. Same result
4. Set auth mode in Supersu settings to allow/deny, when oddly it works. Allows or denies immediately, and I can find this in Supersu's log.
So, everything seems working fine except what Supersu doesn't want to show me my root promts when I need them.
If any information about my device needed, I will be happy to provide it. For starters, my device is ITELL K3300, I am not sure what else coud be needed if you want to help?
