Instead of disk drive put it in USB charge only. Also if it still doesn't work, restart the phone and try again. Let me know if your still having problems
Oh also, I just looked at your picture, your adb service is not running. Open command prompt and change your directory to where adb is. Typically something like C:/android/android-sdk/platform-tools.
Then type adb devices or any other command and that should start up adb. Once again let me know if you have any questions
Isn't this right?
It very well could be. Mine is set up slightly different. But go into the sub folders and you should find one named tools or platform tools and one will contain adb. So you just need to find adb.

? I am not sure adb is installed right, how do I know
By going into the sub folders of your android sdk going into tools or platform tools and it will be there. It's named adb.ext. ext being extension , I don't remember what the extension is. If you can't find it I would uninstall android sdk, go to the site http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html , download the recommended package, install it and when it asks where you want to install it use C:/Android/android-sdk.......
It could also be in your program files. I would just reinstall if you don't find it easily...
Re downloading now
Make sure you uninstall and delete everything so It's not sloppy...
Is it suposed to take forever once you get to the installing archives part?
Ya there are a few things that take a while. I don't know exactly what parts because I usually just leave it for a while and come back when It's done. Did you install it to the right location like I said earlier?
Yes i installed it where you said, it is still installing.........
ok re installed , tried 4 more times , somthing just isnt right and I don't know what it is?????
Dude just use the post thats Easy Frevo w/ overclock and bloat remover..u plug in phone to computer in charge mode with usb debugging on and make sure phone screen is not on(but phone is) and hit like 2 buttons to root and 2 buttons to overclock..so much easier

You still need adb for that method , that is where i think somthing isn't right.
What is it saying? Have you got adb started? You need to be able to get into the command prompt and run adb commands. Once you can do that if it doesn't work there are a few workarounds you can try but you have to have adb working.
this is what it is saying
Adb still isn't running. Have you found where adb is located yet?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
U shouldn't
i dont think you really need to root your phone if you can't even set up adb .... for one you are not even in the correct directory ... u have to cd C:/android/android-sdk/platform-tools then type adb devices
Alright, you need to be able to have the drivers setup and everything correctly because I'm not offering support on this. Sorry but I have alot of stuff to maintain so I can't always help. I'll try but I would prefer the community support each other too. (you also need tgps launcher already installed so if you havent rooted, I dont think you will be able to do this.)
Anyway: you need to get the .apk file you want to install and just put it into the directory and name it A.apk b.apk c.apk d.apk and so on. I will have it install up to 26 apps (all the way up to z) then you can remove and start over.

I will probably update it eventually but right now it's supposed to be very basic.
Manual instructions:
All you need to do is use adb install appname.apk

Basically, for those a little familar with ADB, they didn't block adb install, so you should be able to adb install path\to\app.apk and it will load without an issue. If your not familiar with adb, using xIndirect's method is probably for the best for you.
so the android central sideload wonder machine should work.
In addition, they did not actually close the hole, they just covered it up better. If you sideload anycut, in theory, you can allow any other install. I am going to try it, and let you all know how it goes.

They would have to maintain two versions of their software if they blocked adb install. How are they going to test the apps going into their market.

I have AnyCut installed and created a shortcut to app settings. I reset the "Install from unknown sources" to be checked and then tried installing an app from the Amazon Market. When the package manager ran I got the new will not install dialog. Dang! So I launched the app settings again and noticed that the unknown sources box was unchecked. I checked it again, closed, and relaunched the settings window. The option is unchecked again. Grr....
Installing apps from the Android Market works just fine though, as it does not require the package installer to install an app.
Am I understanding this correctly? So even with un-rooted NT that has updated to 1.41 we can use this method to sideload? I so hope I am understanding this correctly. If so thank you so very much!!!!! If not thanks anyway for helping me learn!!!!!
I have been unable to clear and reset my drivers for the NOOK Tablet.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled but I must not have the right drivers.\
I'm running Win 7 64bit.
Any link would be appreciated.

BUMP, as I was wondering this myself.
I understand how to use adb, but how do I get the Nook Tablet with 1.4.1 in debugging mode? I can't install the tgps launcher apk because it says it is not a Nook Store app. My Nook was previously 1.4.0 and rooted with android market and lots of apps installed. I have no problem with the new side loading method, but I need to figure out how to re-enter USB debugging mode.
Ugh, my Nook just updated to the dreaded 1.4.1 version. I tried the script from XDA and ran it with the command prompt, but it says "error no decide found", even though my Nook Tablet is plugged into my Windows XP Machine. Any ideas why this is happening?
I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Also, I got the script from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1407023 . I run the Sideload.bat file which usually doesn't run until an Android device has been found, and in MS Dos it says: C:\Sideload>adb wait-for-device . And yet when if I were to install an apk residing in the Sideload folder via Command Prompt, it says no device found.

Scrap that. I thought I had to re-download the apk file. I realized that it is installed as a device app. Once I entered debugging mode I was able to sideload apps onto 1.4.1 using the instructions.
Now I would love to get Android Market working again...

If you rooted 1.4.0, you would have used tgps launcher downloaded over the air. Once you run (install) the tgps launcher, it remains in your android apps installed on the Nook tablet after the 1.4.1 is installed by B&N. Just unplug your USB cable, run tgps launcher, go into te development settings, enable two debugging options, disable auto mount. Then when you plug in USB it should pop up a notification that you are in debugging mode.
Do "adb devices" from a command prompt. If your device is found, you can adb install apps.
so this won't work for unrooted? got my mom this for xmas, we had 1.4.0 and started sideloading apps...then outta nowhere today, the OTA came through and now i can't do anything. when i try this method, it tells me device not found. it doesn't show up under adb devices, either.

Looks like your only option will be to manually downgrade to 1.4.0 and load all the apps you want. You can also prevent OTA update to 1.4.1. Search the forums for the instructions. That sucks.
Alternatively, wait and see if a 1.4.1 root comes out.

Thanks, this works great. I know there is a way to root and install google apps on 1.4.1 now, but I'm fine with this since I don't have to go through the process of losing and then restoring all the apps and books I have loaded.
Just like another person mentioned, all one has to do is have NT Hidden Settings or tgps_launcher installed prior to the upgrade to be able to enable USB debugging.
Recently got a Fujitsu T-01D and want to know if there is a way to root this phone. Found unlockroot.exe but it seemed to have virus.
Also, on screen capture (not available on this phone), already tried No Root Screenshot It app from Market but it does not work, because the computer does not detect the phone:
http://www.fmworld.net/product/phone/usb/t-01d/download.html
Already installed this official USB driver on the computer, but when the phone is plugged into the comp (via USB debugging mode), the comp still does not detect the phone.
Seems like the computer has problem detecting the phone (both Wins and Mac)
Even the developer of the screenshot app cannot solve the problem
Does anyone know?
P.S. tried another method but still failed:
installed PDAnet on the computer, and then installed PDAnet app from Market to the phone, but the computer still could not detect the phone.
have u press the "turn on USB storage" in the notification bar?
What's the status now? Can you share the unlockroot file for us?
well,you must uninstall the mass storage device in the device manager.
and then the comp will find a unknown device called t-01d,update driver for t-01d.
now comp can detect my t-01d,but i don't find any root tools which really work.

Hi,
I'm the developer of the "no root screenshot it" application. Please make sure that the phone is DISCONNECTED from the computer when you take the screenshot. If you still have problems, please do the following:
1) start the app
2) goto the 3rd tutorial screen
3) press the menu button
4) send me the error log.
Thanks!

Unfortunately,wifi tether is a japan only feature for no root devices.
You can find this tip 'A subscription to sp-mode is required to use tethering.'
on the docomo official website:
goo.gl/yCk4g
and docomo don't provide Hong Kong Service.
So waiting for root.
Finally,i am sorry for my English.It may confused you,and i always forget capital letters.

Hi.
Anyone managed to get wifi tethering working after rooting?
In reading carrett's root, unlock and install guide as well as thecubed's Project FreeGee thread, it's clear that adb needs to be installed on my phone. Unless it's hidden somewhere, I believe that I need to install it as well as install adb drivers on my laptop. As far as the phone goes, Google play has wifi apps, but I can't find a tethered app to install. In addition, after a couple hours of searching, I don't find adb software or drivers to install on my laptop.
I'd prefer to not brick my phone on 1st attempt, so I pose the following questions:
1) Am I completely confusing things or am I correct in thinking that I need to explicity install adb both on my phone and laptop
2) assuming that some sort of adb install must happen, where do I find the installation files?
I think that I've finally found the answers to my questions: install the ADT bundle which includes adb. I'm downloading and installing it as I write this.
If a mod wants to delete this thread, please do.

Uh, ADB support is built into Android.
You need to have USB Debugging turned on for some stuff to work though. In Settings>Developer Options>(check USB debugging box).
Then ADB SHOULD be installed with the LG drivers (if not I think the FreeGee download has it built in).
And if it is not, you can always install the Android SDK (HERE).
I know it is in there.
(Sorry, my memory is fuzzy, I've had ADB on my laptop for a few years now... not sure where I got it)

Thanks both of you. I ended up returning it, root and all, but I'm sure your suggestion would have worked.
After rooting, has there been anything anybody's been able to do about battery life? I don't imagine there's been any Roms built for this device yet, but didn't know if maybe someone's figured out something that's helped extend their battery life, because when playing certain games like clash of clans for instance, I'm lucky to get an hour and a half of game play, and that's with my brightness turned all the way down. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This root guide works on s8-50f! thanks Xakep
This is a very easy and usefull root instruction, i rooted my tab s8-50f with no problems.
I followed the steps described and got instant root without any issues.
My machin is windows pc with windows 8.1 pro 32bit. Plug your tab and windows recognized the drivers just make sure your device mngr shows lenovo s850 and you are all set. Then just run the flash tool and it will run in less than a minute your tablet will reboot and your tab will be rooted.
Yes this is probably the easiest I've ever rooted any device in the past. If at first it doesn't take, don't worry it will. Just repeat the process till it does. Thanks Hash.h for putting up this thread and passing along the info

Exe -appears- to run well, but appears to fail on the last command. Unfortunately it disappears off the screen before I can check the exact nature of the error. It appears to go fine until the final attempt to copy the SU binary into place fails with a 'File not found' error.
I've also tried the other method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/guide-lenovo-s850-row-t2927400
The flashtool fails to find the device (I know the drivers are installed), so I'm unable to install the new boot image.
ADB shell fails
mount -o remount,rw /system
with the response
mount: Operation not permitted
so none of the 'push' operations will complete as the /system folder is read-only.
Any suggestions?

Same problem here. Lost root after the last update and now I can't get either root method to work.
