Okay, as far as I know, the app named DeviceManager.apk does the job of updating. I have just freezed it with Titanium. It can also be uninstalled. My device hasn't been updated yet (I keep my wifi on 24x7).
Alright rjmohit, I'll look into it. Thanks!
Currently i am still on 1.4.0, if i farked up my NT and need to do the 8x interrupt powerup to get system restore, will any steps (i.e. allow wifi to be turned on to complete the initial registration process) update the NT to 1.4.1 before I get a chance to use Indirect's original zergrush method to root it again?
Thanks.
It shouldnt

Well, yeah! That exactly is the one!
For those of you who are unhappy with the 'unavailable' software number, you can head on to the nook color forums to deactivate OTA updates w/o disabling DeviceManager!
But as far as I know, this is the safest method, as the other methods mentioned there dont seem foolproof with the NT.
Has anyone tried to see if this method loses ability to put have off Barnes and Noble store. I dont books or apps available for purchase anymore.

Yes, by freezing devicemanager, you no longer have access to "shop" and if you try and shop online instead, the book, etc. will not sync to your library. So if you actually like using this as an E-reader the way it is designed (rather than using kindle app instead), then hope the FOTAkill.apk does the trick.
Sooooo where can i get fotakill.apk?
I rooted mine earlier with gapps but do not have it.
Fyi, i used the method mentioned on the nook color forum; sqlite to edit fota value from "auto" to "manual" in database and my B&N Store seems to be working fine. Device info still shows version 1.40 also.

You can find it in the first post of the rooting thread, under "Download Link for rooting script:" Inside the Nook&Zergy.zip file under system/app
Mod: If I posted in the wrong place, please let me know. I am new to all of this.
On my rooted NT/not de-bloated, I just received the OTA at ~7:45pm PST, it took ~3 mins to download then installed successfully. I had confirmed that FOTAkill.apk was in system/app yesterday so this did not block it.
Note: I have been using my NT with WIFI ON waiting for the OTA to hit hoping to confirm(not discount) Indirect's theory related to FOTAkill.apk.
Here is a review of my initial NT rooting success, the OTA update and current outcome of no root/no functioning gapps:
12/15:
1. Rooted using Indirect steps.
2. Installed Gapps (of course)
3. Did not de-bloat
4. Confirmed NT root access and installed terminal emulator, File Mgr, Root Explorer
After rooting: (all good)
Button Savior works
Android Market works
Amazon Apps Store works
B&N Apps works
Several launchers work. (Go, ADW, LauncherPro, VTL Launcher)
Use ADW Launcher EX regularly
Some issues with widgets not starting.
Google Services Framework error re-curring inconsistently but not detrimental to functioning.
12/21: Saw XDA post of OTA 1.4.1 warning:
Kept reading XDA forums to assess impact and wait for ideas on solutions
Saw Indirect post that FOTAkill.apk was installed in his rooting process.
Confirmed FOTAkill.apk was present in /system/app on my NT
Installed OTA Rootkeeper
Decided to wait for OTA update to see what happens
What I did not do:
No devicemanager.db edits as suggested by yaggermr post
No Titanium Backup freezing of .apks
No de-bloating (Unsure if proven that this would prevent but assume it does)
I did not confirm FOTAkill.apk permissions but had not changed them. (They should have been whatever they were when this file was delivered in root/gapps process.)
12/22: OTA update received
What was in place that I hoped would work:
FOTAkill.apk
OTA Rootkeeper(don't really know how to use this but think I did the protect and back up.)
Outcome:
Button Savior works
Launcher selection works as does the Launchers
Android Market does not open and the icon weirdly small on dock
Gmail not working
Amazon Apps Store opens and downloads but app install is blocked as non-B&N content.
All other previously loaded apps work. (that do not require root access)
Lost root access.
Next steps:
Full factory reset or sdcard approach seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20502705&postcount=1
Then:
Edit devicemanager.db approach seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20499801&postcount=2
Or
Freeze devicemanager.apk seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20513770&postcount=6
FOTA kill didnt work, time for plan B. Most OTA's check the build.prop through recovery which means I'm modifying the build.prop to change to a nook color and see what happens. It should in theory work.

Then I can verify that blocking appears work. I'm in the same area and didn't receive an update.
I had frozen "DeviceManagerService 2.3.4" with Titanium pro. I also previously freeze "cloudservice 1.0" and com.bn.cloud.svc 2.3.4", and have not defrost them.

Thank you for this post.
I will profit it to put a problem that I've since Honeycomb and continuous with ICS.
I've created a script to have the music in media library from sdcard2, that script was in init.d folder.
Since then I' m getting the error message:
"android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. please try again."
Even after deleting the script I get this error every time that tablet starts.
I thought that with ICS upgrade this get fixed, but no, I still have the problem.
I'm sorry in advance if this is wrong topic to post this, it's just that I need 10 posts to create threads and post replys in other topics and I don't wanna just bluntly spam in order to ask one questions.
I have a problem rooting my tablet :
Model number : Sony Tablet S
Android version : 4.0.3
Kernel version : 2.6.39.4 [email protected] #1
Build number : TISU0017700
I've followed this rooting guide and also used Automated ADB Driver Installer for Sony Tablet S and P.
Seems like everythings working :

But I'm getting this problem at the very start of rooting with permissions, I tried old and updated rooting tools several times, but I constantly get this one error.
In any case, I hope this problem can be solved and I have everything right. ( Was trying to root a device first time ) x_x

"Android version: 4.0.3" is the problem. To the best of my knowledge, at this time, a tablet that has already been updated to Android 4.0.3 cannot be rooted, nor can it be downgraded to a version of Android that can be rooted. You will need to wait until an exploit is discovered/created.

Try this,
Reboot into recovery goto Advanced then select Clear Dalvik Cache
If that still didn't do it, then you must reflash you Prerooted ICS,
Edit:
Do you still have some sort of file changed?,
if thats the case then i want to know which app contains the error you could try to reinstall the system app by changing its permissions etc,
with Romtoolbox for example. i will make backup try to upload the file you replace it wil the old one reinstall and then there should be a problem no more,
Also make shure you don't have any files left on you tablet wich contains changes,

In recovery mode I don't have "advanced" option.
Only 1. reboot, 2. update from zip and 3. factory reset.
edit: SOLVED
In Setting / applications / All
I clear data for program "Media Storage" and the error message stopped!

Thanks for letting us know, its good to hear that you solved your problem.
Doesn't come out of sleep
Several times a week, the tablet won't come out of sleep. Pressing the power button does nothing and I have to resort to using the reset button on the right side of the tablet. This started happening after ICS update.
Anybody else have this problem? Solutions?
yea i had that problem with HC, but maybe like 3 times since ive bought device. All i did was plug into pc and it turned on....has not happened in ics update, but it probably will.
Hey,
Just one question
Can we flash ICS by placing the zip in pendrive and connecting it to our Tablet?
Will the AIO tool find the zip?
Thanks
Nope, maby it can be possible but the recovery is not made to search in
external devices, only External SDCard inserted in the normal way,
Because if so you could simply search your PC within recovery
I know it can be used for a bootable image for PC but this won't work on Android (For now)
Who knows if some dev will change Recovery, and make it so, that he can find other devices as well.
I am new to all this. I successfully rooted the tablet without using AiO tool. But i have no idea where to proceed next. Can you dirext me to the appropriate forum/topic/post that can help me move forward.

Hello all,
Since ICS update, battery behaviour is very weird, it is dischargind very quickly, also when standby. It last one day and a hal whereas before it lasted at least 4 or 5 days... Am I the only one concerned by that problem ? Do you think it could be caused by something else than ICS update ?
Thank you all in advance...

Its most likely that you have some sort of app installed that drains your battery,
Do you use a Task killer?, that kills automatic?
Because this can cause battery drain aswell, since android has his own way of killing his apps there is no need to kill apps by an 3th-party appkiller.
You can check in your app settings, within running apps, which apps currently are
running, like a music player of movie player.
Also Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Auto Sync and GPS can use allot of energie.
i'm not shure how long my tablet runs if its in standby, but it is longer then yours.
No task killer running, I do that manually...
But I've uninstalled chrome beta and since last charge, 14 hours ago, tablet has lost 11%...
Kind of bizarre...
I tried to download TB from the market today and it shows as incompatible with my device. I did search the XDA Noteforum for similar errors and though just about every ROM thread popped up I haven't found a good match with my problem . Anyone else have this or can point me to a fix? I'd like to start flashing a couple ROMS on this phone (have flashed several Captivate ROMs in the past) but I'd like to be able to backup prior to doing so. CWM is installed and a ROM backup has been made already.
I have an ATT Note, Stock Rom, Mashi Root.

If your rooted should not be an issue, mashi root....
try clear cache from gplay app and try again also you can dl from your pc from gplay...
Thanks! Cleared cache in manage applications and cleared data as well.
The only TB that shows up in phone market is Pro Key which doesn't work without free version. Even clicking on the more from this developer option doesn't show free.
On the PC it shows as incompatible with both my phones (Captivate and Note).
More ideas?

What country are you in? Some apps are restricted. I had to change my CSC code when I was out of the US so I could use the US market.
See system/csc/ and open the sales_code.dat file and see if the code is ATT.
The only other reason is your dpi settings are not the default.

Thia suggestion is for both members with the funky market. What I do sometimes is google for the old app then let it auto update.

Get the old market apk, install it, and let it upgrade.
One more option is an app called Market Fixer:

Hello,
I have searched all over these threads (only reading title threads, I honestly don't have enough time to go through 7+ pages worth of threads)
So I wanted to start to this thread because I wanted to know if there's anyone who has successfully re-rooted their Nook Tablet after unintentionally installing 1.4.3 (thanks, B&N..not)
When I rooted my NT that had 1.4.2, I could've sworn I blocked OTA - unfortunately, last week it proved that I apparently didn't or I just did something wrong. Now I have 1.4.3 and lost function of the Google App Store, etc.
I read somewhere in these threads and through Google searches that some people were successful at re-rooting WITHOUT restoring their NT and losing all data. - This is what I would like to do, simply re-root while keeping my apps, settings, etc; and go about my day. Also, I'd like to completely block OTA updates correctly this time.
Can someone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE kindly post detailed instructions on how to do this?
All of us who are still trying to figure out how to do this would greatly and sincerely appreciate it. :angel:
Thank you ever so!

I used this method after I was upgraded to 1.4.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583, and it worked great!
The basic steps are:
Build a bootable SD card that loads up CWM
Use CWM to install a .zip that puts Google Apps and Root into your /system partition
It's really that easy. See the post I mentioned for details and download links.
The 'Gapps_and_root.zip' mentioned there really just installs the Google framework and root, and nothing else. It leaves all your existing apps and settings alone.
The only thing missing from that method is Calendar Sync. If that is important to you, I can provide tips to how I got that going, too.
Blocking OTA though, I haven't done yet and probably won't. I need to stay on top of the SW updates in case something there is important to the magazines my wife likes to read! As long as I can keep re-rooting as the updates roll out, I don't mind.
In just rebooted my tablet after doing 1.4.3 and found the root v4.7 SD Card did a splendid job. I always clear my data, but I don't see why you'd have to.
I even found that I could just install a replacement keyboard off the Play Store without further modification other than just selecting it. Quite refreshing.
Can't seem to get rid of the stupid Quick Launch Bar without screwing up chunks of text after replacing SystemUI.apk but, I can live with that.
Thank you both for your replies! I'm going to attempt re-rooting my NT tonight... hopefully, it will all work out.
UPDATE: it worked! I'm rooted now... i just have one question, do you any of you guys have the stock B&N and found a successful way to add other android apps to the front? - sorry if that doesn't make sense, I do hope you get what I'm talking about.
I had App Manager, but it seems like it's completely unusable now :/
Thanks!
Yeah the developer says that B&N changed the API and he is working to fix it. Until then, don't think so.

I was also sad about App Manager. I hope the dev can figure out the new B&N changes. It was so convenient!
Until then my new solution is to use HomeCatcher.
I set up HomeCatcher to run Go Launcher EX, so two clicks of the 'n' button and I'm there where all my apps are.
I then used AnyCut (and regular app shortcuts) to put links to the B&N Home (it's the app called "home"), as well as the Library and the Shop in the Go Launcher drawer. Easy one-click to all the stock B&N things; that way so my wife can still read her magazines.
I do the same thing with ADW Launcher EX. I actually really dislike the stock home screen and launcher and prefer to remove the quick launch bar entirely.

If this really is a "Nook Color" as your title implies, I think you're in the wrong forum - This is for the Nook Tablet which is a different beast altogether. Nook Color forums are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=860
If this is a Nook Tablet, you may want to start a new thread explaining what exactly you did before anyone can help you figure out what to do next.

Same thing is going on with me after rooting 1.4.3. I usually just restart the nook after downloading updates now, but this is a pain. Any quicker/easier solutions would be appreciated.
OTA Block?
Hi all,
It's been a while since I posted on this thread ... Anyway, all is still going well with the rooted 1.4.3 Tablet I have... My only concern now is making sure that OTA is blocked - I have that option in my Hidden NT Settings but I have no way of knowing if it is in fact actually blocked... can anyone tell me what this option does? If it even works at all, and if there's any way to check if OTA is in fact blocked?
Here are two pictures
1. You can see the option
2. What happens when I click on it

The only thing missing from that method is Calendar Sync. If that is important to you, I can provide tips to how I got that going, too.

Anyone else have a vizio smart tv? I love the app, but 99% of my usage are the smart TV functions....I got nothing on the app other than basics. Wondering if learning would be an option.
I'm pretty sure the app can learn commands. One guy said he programmed his fireplace.
Supposedly the Remote app is very customizable.

The app can learn
Thanks guys, time to play! If I can get netflix and amazon to launch and use the menus I will be a happy guy!
As others have stated the app can learn and does so with all remotes
SO easy!! Love this thing.
Yea it can learn by going into the universal remote and creating one by following the directions of course i have no remote for my tv but i do for the cable box
Have a 55" vizio. All commands are working, just a bit different from remote. Charter keys don't work, but all menu keyss through menu are working. Just a bit different placement.
Is it possible to reinstall Quick Remote on LG G2
Hi,
My Quick Remote stopped working. When I touch it, all I get is two LG documents. I tried to reinstall an apk file, but all I get is that my current installation failed since such a program already exists.
How can I regain Quick Remote capabilitiers?
Is there a way uninstalling and reinstalling it?
Is there any other way?
In addition, some sources offer a single file, LGQRemote.apk, some a pair - LGQRemote.apk and LGQRemote.odex and some three pairs - LGQRemote.apk' LGQRemote.odex, QuickSet.apk, QuickSet.odex, QuicksetSDK.apk and QuicksetSDK.odex.
Which ones should I use? And, if a pair' how do I relate to the *.odex files?

Try to go to settings>apps and then system apps and find the quick remote and wipe cache and updates if there are.
The odex is also if you have odexed system (stock) and deodexed so without odex probably for modified stock or deodexed stock.
No "System Apps"

Thanks, wulsic.
Tried to locate the "System Apps"', but there's no reference to these applications in my "Apps" list.
May I need a third party tool for this task?

Well, I wish I had it. Checked my list and no sign for its existance. Still, when I try to unstall, installation fails.
Can it be a hidden installation?
Is there a possibility for an application to reported without it being listed?

Do you have the app in the launcher? All the system apps must be listed in this tab. Maybe you have it installed in /data and should be listed in the first tab in this case...
For the installation fail,if you have recovery go and wipe cache and dalvik,sometimes app cache/dalvik got corrupted and you can't reinstall it.
If you have recovery find the thread for quickremote for aosp and try to flash it,maybe it will work.
If you have only root,try to manually replace them and don't forget to set right permissions.

Unfortunately, I took no precautions with my LG G2 and have no recovery options.
I tried your last resort option, "try to search /data for "remote" and delete all you thing is connected with the app", but since android experience is very short. I encounter difficulties implementing it.
How do I run a search for "Remote" in "/data"? I've these apps on my unit: root browser, root checker, ES File Explorer. Do I need anything else?

This is only going to end in tears and bricks.
I think you have some other issue, if you say you get "LG Documents" maybe you didn't actually get the QR files to install at all? I'd re-do whatever install steps.
And as for the install location, you have to flash the zip, therefore the two APKs that installed are:
/system/app/LGQRemote.ap
/system/app/QuicksetSDK.apk
There are some other files which the zip installs.
How exactly did you install it in the first place? I haven't seen anything where you just install the APKs.

My LG G2 came with QR preinstalled. It stopped working, but I don't have a clue as to the circumstances.
I found the installation files in the /system/app/, but can't install them. The installation end up with a failure. Some files must be cleaned first, but which ones, I don't know.

I made that couple of times in my expiriens with android(almost 4 years),without problems and bricks,but there is always a risk.
On the problem.
If the files are in /system/app ,they are already installed and you dont need to install them from there.Download the zip for the aosp mod,open it and see what files and where they need to be placed,then backup the original apks from the /system/app(just copy them somewhere in your SDcard) and then replace them with the apks from the aosp zip.Dont forget to change permissions on all the files you'r replaced to rw-r--r--.
Good luck

So Quick Remote is just not working, you haven't modified the ROM, or changed the ROM in any way??

I did the following:
1. Installed TWRP 2.7.1.0 touch recovery (which, I believe, won't do any good' or bad' for my current problem).
2. Renamed the apk files using SystemCleanUp. Then' reinstalled the program. The results: no change, running QR opens the LG user document.
3. Cleaned the davik cache. (No change).
As to the AOSP installation, please refer me to a reliable howto reference. I've never installed a MOD on an android
I have a stock ROM rooted on 4.4.2. Would love to know what bloatware/system apps I can safely remove.
Didn't you flash a debloated ROM already. If you want it lighter than you know you need S-off to flash an updated RUU to than flash Skydragon.

Wont be able to flash anything over 4.4.2,due to firmware requirements. And euro rom bases sem to be giving many folks issues unfortunately
I guess I'm just a lucky one @LightningKitsune
Cause I haven't ran into any issues running
Skydragon v3.0.1 with a non at&t firmware.I know feel like I'm leading you astray, I am sorry

Not leading astray,more n more im seeing lately are issues with euro roms on att devices. Without soff cannot flash roms higher than was original software without issues.443-444 require the firmware update no matter if euro or us versions.

I did not. The only difference between completely stock and my phone is TWRP recovery, deoxed, and root. I just added xposed framework. Can't a app remove those bloatware apps? Yeah I know a rom would be easier, but I cannot S-off without paying for it, and I'm not going to, at least not until the new year.

Titanium backup is supposed to be able to delete apps

I thought about doing that at one time. Should of, but didn't.
It appears that, possibly, greenify (donation version) has frozen a ton of apps, according to Titanium, since greenify is on Boost mode.
Also an issue youll have without the modified kernel and system protection module installed is if you remove them they will be there upon reboot

Well that sucks, I guess freezing and disabling them is the best I can do then.

The beauty of freezing the apps (versus deleting them outright) is that if you experience issues you can always just unfreeze. Feel free to freeze whatever bloat you don't use.

I would also make sure that you have a backup in Twrp. If anything goes wrong, you can always do a restore from recovery.
Well it seems I can in fact remove the bloatware. I removed twitter and Facebook, they stayed gone after multiple reboots (was tinkering with a Xposed module). And yeah, I'm going to do a TWRP recovery backup now.
Last post, I used a app called ROM Manager Pro (I had it from years ago when I used to be on a gs3), here are a list of apps that are safe to remove in /system/app. I would recomend having a ROM backup before doing this because even though I tested this to be working, humans are known to make errors. Obviously dont remove that you find that you may like or use often. Apps in this location have a special reason to be, they have more access to the phone then your average User apps, so if you uninstall one and then later decide you want it back, install them in the Play Store and then use a app to make it a System app. Obvoiusly Root is needed to to all of this, and this is on the default Sense ROM of 4.4.2. I personally kept the myATT app since I use it frequently, but it is uninstallable and shouldnt break your ROM (doesnt mean it wont, some people have reported that the apps reinstall themselfs, but I havent had that issue personally)
(basically anything that starts with "ATT_" in the apks)
ATT_Amazon_Kindle.apk (Amazon Kindle)
ATT_Beats_Music.apk (Beats Music)
ATT_CityID.apk (CityID)
ATT_DriveMode.apk (DriveMode)
ATT_Famigo.apk (Famigo)
ATT_FamilyMap.apk (FamilyMap)
ATT_HotSpot.apk (HotSpot)
ATT_Keeper.apk (Keeper)
ATT_myATT.apk (myATT)
ATT_Navigator.apk (Navigator)
ATT_SmartWifi.apk (SmartWifi)
ATT_YPmobile.apk (YP)
I would Imagine other apps are removable like Google apps. A app I have says its labeled as "should keep":
Gmail2.apk (Gmail)
Hangouts.apk (Hangouts)
Maps.apk (Maps)
YouTube.apk (YouTube)
Some other apps I have removed (I dont use these clients, I use clients like Talon):
Facebook
Twitter
Feel free to add or add input if these did not work for you, but they did for me. I used This app to see what apps are safe to remove and which you should keep, and those you shouldnt touch because they are key modules, in red text next to the size of the app. The good thing about this app is, if you want a app back that you deleted, you can do so within the app.
Obviously, I hold no resposibility of your actions if you break your phone somehow. You should always make a backup, even if you are 100% sure that something will work, just in the offcase it doesnt.
