Hi
I came across this nifty tool to manage your nook from the desktop (Windows Only).
Awesome one so far. Used it to install/uninstall apps etc. It also has a file explorer which u can use to side load ebooks..
http://www.mobisynapse.com/
sounds nifty! I am checking eet out now.. It must rely on adb?
Has anyone tried this yet? How does it work? Does it sync contacts? Calendar?
it works great!.. You can backup your NC et. al.
Downloading it now, Will try it out.
EDIT: Seems to work just fine, Recognizing Installed Apps. Still trying out all the features.
I can't get it to see the contents of the SD card...
or any other Nook folder for that matter.

After u have rooted your NC with Auto-Nooter, run the NookColor Tools app. make sure that USB debugging is enabled under "Development".
Also make sure that you have "ejected" the nook mounts in windows explorer. only then can u see the nook & sd card folders.
Haven't heard of this one before. On first glance, it looks a bit like iTunes for Android (not unlike DoubleTwist does).
Android Commander may also work. I can use it to manage my rooted Nook B&W. http://androidcommander.com/
I have USB debugging enabled & the NC ejected & still get the massage "You do not connect any device". I reconnected & re ejected the NC with no response from MobiSynapse. What am I doing wrong?

Have you enabled ADB via USB? This maybe required. I have not tried using this without this. If not follow these STEPS and let me know.
Just got back to this & looks like it's working, I think. At least I can see the NC.
Thanks,

Hellol everyone, i have read thru the forums and i still have not gotten the answer i was looking for. I am trying to download android sdk.
I can install it and all, but once i click the SDK manager, a black cmd prompt pops up and then vanishes. Also i cant install a drive for my erissince everytime i try to locate the file (and i do), it says that it couldnt locate the folder.
I have read thru the website's guide and installed jdk. Im on a 32bit Vista. Droid eris phone.

What do you mean, you can't install a drive? Do you mean you can't mount the SD card? Have you tried installing HTC Sync for the Eris from HTC's website? I know the SDK is supposed to have the drivers necessary, too, but just a thought.
After the Command Prompt vanishes, can you use the SDK Manager then? Have you selected any Available Packages to download and install from the SDK (if you need anything besides the tools).
Also, I see that they changed the organization of the SDK sub-folders as of v8. aapt.exe and adb.exe, and some other files are now in the platform-tools sub-folder now instead of the tools sub-folder.

I can mount it, but every time i plug it in, it asks me to install a drive. I have tried to direct it to the sdk folder but it wont connect. I have also tried HTC sync and i cant get the drivers intalled either becuase it wont recognize my phone.
After the cmd promt vanishes nothgin happens; its like i didn't click it at all.
No, i have not installed any additional packages. By the way, i do not have a platform-tools folder, just add-ons, platforms, tools, sdk manager(which doesn't work), read me and uninstall.

Well let's take one step at a time. I'm concerned that you say you can't get HTC Sync's drivers to install. Are you sure you've tried the right one (meant for the Eris)? It should be version 2.0.33 and apparently it's dated 4/23/2010. Download it again from the link on this page http://www.htc.com/us/support/droid-eris-verizon/downloads/, unplug your phone, install HTC Sync completely, then plug your phone in. Wait for Windows to install all the drivers, it may take a few minutes to finish.
What method are you trying to use to mount your SD card to the computer? Meaning, are you using the official method from the phone to mount it from the notifications menu, for instance, and which dismounts the SD card from the phone as long as it's mounted to the computer?
Does everything else in Windows Vista work right? Are you able to plug USB flash drives and/or external hard drives in and have them work?
I forget the circumstances, but in the past (not right now), maybe when I'm not using my phone for tethering, Windows gave me a drive letter for my phone as long as it was plugged in, even when I didn't choose to mount the SD card. Trying to view the contents of the drive letter results in an error until you actually tell the phone to mount the SD card as USB storage.

If you're trying to actually use HTC Sync to sync (not just for the drivers), you have to be running a stock ROM like xtrSENSE, xtrROM or others. Or a Sense-based Froyo ROM, but those aren't really ready for day to day use yet.
Then when you plug your phone in you get three options instead of two:
1. Charge only
2. Mount USB
3. HTC Sync
And it has to be in HTC Sync mode for the HTC Sync program to see it.

Have you tried rebooting both the phone and the computer (with the phone disconnected)? Only reconnect it after both are fully loaded.

In other words, with some ROMs when I plug my phone into my USB cable on my computer, the computer immediately shows a drive letter for it. It won't be accessible, though, until I choose the mount USB option on the phone.
There are other alternatives for mounting the SD card through USB, maybe you should try them.
There's a widget on the market that isn't free called Dual Mount SD. Personally I use it, it allows mounting the SD card without dismounting it from the phone. Given the problems you're having, though, perhaps this wouldn't work for you either.
There's a free program called QtADB you can find a link to in a thread on here. Google for QtADB XDA and you'll find it, and it'll link to the website for the program. You can even set it up to do this wirelessly if you have a wireless network/router. When I had real internet (not tethering like now) I tried it and it worked great. It uses something free called Wireless ADB or something like that.
You can do many things with this program, and you have to have the Android SDK installed to use it, but you can see what's on the SD card and copy files to and from it with it.
The only other alternative would be to use a Micro SD card to USB adapter, but then you'd have to turn your phone off every time you want to access you SD card on your computer.
I use DropBox (free) to upload files from my computer and download them to my phone all the time.
I have a non-rooted, running CM7 from an SD card. I have the USB drivers from xboxexpert. My nook is in debug mode. I've tried both USB storage on and off. I used Droid Explorer and Sideload Wonder Machine 1.2 and neither will recognize the nook. I can't get any combination of the above items to side load apps.
I can see the proper USB show up in device manager. I've tried different cables and ports on the PC. Tried multiple PCs. If I had any hair it would've fallen out. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

just tried this and still doesn't recognize nook.
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB
What is it exactly that you are trying to accomplish? It doesn't sound like you are trying to side load an app.
Side loading an app is the easiest thing to do in the world and you don't need ADB to do so. Just make sure the install from "unknown sources" is checked under the applications settings page and install away.
Just use Dropbox to transfer the apk over... no need for adb... And fyi CM is rooted.

I guess I was trying to do it the hard way. I got it now.
Use Windows file explorer to drop APK file to Nook. Use File manager on Nook to find APK file and click it. Install app.
Yes, like another posting says, "small kids are pointing at me and laughing".
Thanks guys

The goal of this guide:
I rooted my family members Nook last night but got hung up for a few hours trying to get the ADB Drivers enabled. This is how I made it work. This guide will be expanded and improved once I have my own Nook Tablet (Jan 12th).
Things you need:
• Nook Tablet (Duh)
• USB cord to go between NT and Windows PC
• PC with Windows installed (Tested on XP and x64 Windows 7)
• TGPS_Launcher.apk Installed to your Nook
• ADB USB Drivers for Nook Tablet Extracted to C:\Ntroot on your PC
• USBDeView open on the Windows PC
Step 1:
Ensure that your Nook is version 1.4.0 and not 1.4.1. (I will expand this step later when I have a nook in my hand, I suggest a Google search if you do not know how to do this)
Step 2:
Find this thread on your Nook and download the TGPS_Launcher.apk to your device, then install it. This is well covered in many other threads. (Will expand this step when I have a nook in my hand)
You should now be able to allow USB Debugging, and disable Auto Mount. These settings can sometimes change without your permission, so always uncheck and recheck them to ensure they are properly set.
Step 3:
Plug in your Nook to your PC. Your nook should still respond to your commands, if it tell you in USB Mass Storage mode, then retry Step 2.
Go into your Device Manager. If your Nook shows up with a yellow explanation mark indicating an Error, then you’re in business and really don’t need this guide. All you need to do is update drivers from the file C:\Ntroot. However, assuming that your Nook shows up under Disk Drives and USB Mass storage, then ADB wont be able to see your Nook, please keep reading.
Step 4:
Time to start the USBDeview utility. This utility will open to a list of almost all the drivers your computer has for USB Devices. We are going to uninstall a few of them, namely anything that says “Android” “Nook” or in my case, “Motorola”. You do not need to remove any that specify ADB.
Near the top right hand side, you can sort drivers by when the device was last connected. Do this, then remove any utilities used when you plugged your nook in. Done? Ok, time to see if your work was for nothing.
Step 5:
Make sure once again that USB Debugging is turned on for your Nook. Unplug the Nook, then Unchecked USB Debugging and Check it again. Now plug your device back in and check in Device Manager. You will hopefully see one of two things:
A: You will see your nook with a yellow error icon next to it, which means you just need tell it to update from C:\Ntroot.
B: At the top of the device manager you will see Android Devices, and your nook will show up as Android Composite ADB Interface
If your Nook is still showing under disk drives and mass storage, then try steps 3 and 4 again. Still having trouble? Do a factory reset and try again from step 1.
You should now be able to run your rooting program!
(I feel this should be in the Dev forum, but this is my first post and I was not allowed. Perhaps a mod would like to move this topic?)
I plan on purchasing my own Nook on the 12th on Jan, at which point I will add pictures and expand on my guide. This guide is written from memory and will be edited and improved.
Please consider this guide an Alpha Version
Good write up!
The procedure worked fine on my laptop. When I did it on on my home PC I forgot to disable auto-mount and the Nook installed itself as mass storage. I was able to right click -> un-install all the USB Mass Storage entries (with the Nook unplugged), disable auto-mount, plug the Nook back in, and have it show up correctly.
In short, I did not need to use "USBDeView" as I was able to remove the diveres manually. I suppose if you have more than a handful for USB devices (I just have a Mouse, Keyboard, and printer) "USBDeView" might be helpful to determine which drivers to un-install...
The device manager is enough for most people, but there is a somewhat large number of us that are having trouble still. Possibly because of other devices we have installed before. (I dont understand how all the drivers work and I wont pretend to)
Some people have go so far as putting a fresh install on Windows on a partition of a PC.
I had this problem with both my laptop and my desktop, which surprised me. This worked on both the laptop and PC, so hopefully it can help other people.
I cant wait to get my own tablet on the 12, I will take lot of pictures and make this process more user friendly.
I did all of the steps several times and I still get WPD Driver for the portable device and mass storage for my Nook Tablet. I am guessing I am up a river without a paddle right now.
I will try it in Linux and/or try it on someone's Windows machine.
I am trying to install the drivers from Google's SDK package. So I browse to the correct folder, but device manager says "windows could not find driver software for your device".
Any suggestions? Is there any other set of drivers specifically for NT?

Did you sort by last time plugged in and delete all of those too? Have you re-checked and then re-un-checked automount/usb debugging and such?
This is interesting, you'll have to come back and let me know if you ever get it working on your PC. Maybe its a good excuse for a nice healthy re-format and reinstall of windows?

I don't know if they are different, but I used the drivers specificly from the thread about rooting the NT. [I would post a link, but I'm typing from my phone]
You have the yellow error mark next to your device? If so you've almost got it!

Yeap, that did the trick, thanks. Drives installed successfully this time, but adb devices still returns nothing.
Thats very odd. It shows up in device manager as an ADB device?
If so, please try the NookandZergy file, then copy the results so we can try to farther assist
What devices have you rooted before?
I cannot help but feel I will be 100x more useful in a week when I have my device in hand...
adb error: device offline
This drove me nuts for at least a day. Turns out it is what happens when you are plugged into a USB 3.0 port on your PC side. Find out which USB is 2.0 (Front Panel for ZT Systems), use it and life suddenly gets really good.

Well I have done everything and still get permission denials for copying and chmod on my Nook Tablet.
Took the Nook to work and tried it on a fresh machine. Everything went great. Drivers installed and everything ready for usb debug and non-automount and then I run into the same permission errors and being denied access to the folder for Zerk and no chmod.
Same issue no matter what machine. What is wrong with my tablet? I am re-rooting it from being automatically upgrade to 1.4.1. I get it to 1.4.0 with the SD card restore.

Did you find a solution? Thats a problem I sadly dont know how to help with. I would start with:
-Check USBDeview and delete anything android/Nook/usb related. Delete just about everything.
-Restart the device
-Uncheck and recheck the USB Debugging boxes
-Recheck and uncheck the auto-mount box
-Test
-Try a different USB Port
-Try another PC
Thanks but didn't work.
thanks, Joe. I did exactly as you mentioined below and had the Android/Nook appear at the top of the Devices listing. However, the adb command still can't find the device. Any suggestions?

I had literally this exact same problem the 6th time I restored and flashed. IF im right, you just need to uncheck then recheck usb debugging.
Let me know if it works!
Hey there,
Here is a list of what I have before I get started.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi (P7510)
Android Version - 3.2
Kernel Version - [email protected]#1
Build Number - INFAMOUS TAB 0.1 P7510UEKMM
Basically I have no access to my tablets internal SD card via my PC (Windows 7 and KIES)
I bought this tablet from a friend who rooted and flashed with the INFAMOUS mod.
I have searched all over the web for an answer and cant find something for this case specifically.
Each time I plug in my tab, my PC tells me that the Hardware ID is missing.
I can see the tablet in my Devices and Printers (displayed as SAMSUNG_android) as well as in my Device Manager. In device manager it says the drivers are up to date and functioning.
What have I tried?
USB Debugging (On and Off)
Clearing cache via recovery mode
Updating drivers via W7 and KIES via Samsung
I have tried following a few threads on installing the KIES software without internet connectivity. However I would rather not use the KIES Software anyway as it is kind of garbage.
I am looking to have access to the internal SD card so I can flash a new Rom on the Tab, however I would first like to even just have access to the file transferring.
Can anyone point me in the direction of help and me being able to enjoy this tablet?
I hope I have provided enough information. I am a pretty techy person and I understand how to do all of this but it seems like I am missing something really big.
Something to take note of, whenever the tab is plugged in (PC or Wall) there is a red x over the battery symbol and the tab charges very slowly.
Cheers
B

The Galaxy Tab doesn't expose the internal "sdcard" as a device that you can mount on your PC. If you enable it, it shows up as a MTD device.
The sdcard partition is formatted using a Linux native filesystem, not FAT, so Windows can't recognize it.
I use adb to push files onto the sdcard. ADB comes with the android SDK.

As stated, make sure you have your tablet in MTP, and if so, make sure to update your drivers.
Settings > Storage > Additional Settings (top right) > MTP
To build on the above, if you have uninstalled Kies but also the Samsung USB drivers, you will be unable to connect the tab. Reinstall (or maybe uninstall and reinstall if you still have them) the drivers. A lot of the times that is the issue.
Go to Settings>Storage>Options/Info (The one on the upper right)>MTP(Check this one)
hope this help

Ahhh ha! As soon as I uninstalled the driver that windows found and used the Google Driver that came along with the Android SDK, the tablet was recognized. Alas, I can finally use this tablet.
In the end it was as simple as a driver error, I spent a very long time searching last night and now I just feel silly.
The tablet still shows the red X over the battery symbol, whether I have MTP with USB Debugging on or off. I guess this can be avoided with certain ROMS. Anybody know of a ROM that avoids this?
Thank you all for your immediate responses!

By the way you two, there is no option in 3.2 for this.
In 3.2 its Applications/Development/USB Debugging
In storage there is no option to choose MTP, it seems that it always has been enabled and I cant find it anywhere in the settings to change it.
Thanks for the input though

In storage there is no option to choose MTP, it seems that it always has been enabled and I cant find it anywhere in the settings to change it.
Thanks for the input though

For honeycomb and many others, debugging is always there. Under the storage option, you have an Additional Settings button usually and it should be present in there. I was always running3.2 until like a couple days ago so surprised its not there. Oh well problem solved lol
I'm having a similar problem with my tab not being recognised by my pc (win7 64) or in kies. It was originally an M380W (Korean) model, which I updated to a P7510. That all went fine, and the tablet works perfectly, except for the fact that my pc no longer sees it when it's plugged in. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, but no dice. I'm going to see if adb works.
Hi
I would like to connect my Yamaha digital piano to my Nook HD (I currently connect the paino to a PC via Midi IN/OUT to USB cable which works fine). I thought that rooting the Nook and running USB Host Check would provide the answer but the apps I have tried (Perfect Piano being the most appropriate) don't recognise a device as being connected.
I am sure there must be a way and would very much appreciate any help. Running a cable to my PC each time I want to record something is driving me crazy.
Maybe this could help: http://www.musicalandroid.com/1/pos...o-record-sound-with-your-audio-interface.html ?
According to this: http://www.mikrosonic.com/rd4-midi-android These kinds of things work best at least 4.1.x but 4.2+ would be better. Might need to try a custom rom as well then.
I've not had any experience with this stuff, just found some info for you. Hope it helps!

Thank you very much for the info - it all looked very promising.
USB Audio Recorder won't detect the piano when connected using the midi IN/OUT cable, it is looking for a sound card.
I am thinking that it may work if I connect it via the headphone socket.
Strangely enough if I don't have a Jack to USB cable to hand - but I have ordered one as it must be worth a try!!
Many thanks again for your help
No problem. Let us know if you figure it out in case someone else is looking for a similar solution.

Just to let you know that the cable didn't work! damn!
I have found USBHostSwitcher.apk on one of the forums here, which looked like it would do the trick.
I have downloaded it from a couple of locations but APK Installer comes back with an 'unable to parse' error message.
It either doesn't like my Nook, or the Android version, or ME!
The quest continues.
Thanks again for your help

Found this on a Nook HD site and uploaded to my Dropbox and tested it. Installed fine for me. I don't have any use for the app, just tested to see if it installed correctly. If it still fails again, then you need to switch browsers or download on PC and transfer over.

Many thanks for your very quick reply.
I have downloaded the file from dropbox to my PC and copied it across to the Nook.
Unfortunately I still get an error message 'There is a problem parsing the package'.
I think it must be me that it doesn't like
Do you have adb set up so you can side load it?

I'll try the USBHostSwitcher again.
Thanks a lot

Make sure you have the right drivers installed.
Plug in Nook with USB Debugging enabled
Put USBHostSwitcher.apk into the folder you unzipped with the files for adb.
Open CMD Prompt and change directories to the adb folder
Run:
adb install USBHostSwitcher.apk <enter>

Installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot version 1.1.3.
Whilst I can access the Nook from the PC no problem, ADB can't find the device.
Other people seem to have had the same problem - none of the solutions seem to work.
In fact at least one of them caused problems with Windows reporting that there was a problem with the Nook connection.
I have had to restore my PC to a position a couple of days ago to undo the problem.
I have installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot again but it still can't find my device.
Are you running a custom rom like CM or just whatever comes on the Nook?
