I'm having trouble with GladEnable.
I started with an unrooted Atrix on 1.5.7. I downloaded 1.8.3 using the motorola updater. I installed Gingerbreak on the phone and ran it. I think I am rooted now...I'm basing this off that I downloaded the free Titanium Backup from the market to the phone. When I run the backup app, it tells me my system won't allow me to restore settings and that I need to go into settings/applications and tick the "Unknown Sources' box. I don't have that box.
I extracted GladEnable to the C drive of my computer. I connect the phone, have USB debugging on and USB set to None. I run the gladenable.bat file.
It say up "Allow superuser request on phone". Then says files copied. It asks if I want to install sideloading, I type in "y" and hit enter. It says "Allow superuser request on phone". Then it says Permission denied.
I'm not concerned about tethering so I type "n", then the phone reboots.
I posted this question over at Android Central. Someone suggested to check mark the "Allow Mock Locations" under settings/applications/development. It tried that and then ran GladEnable. I got the exact same responses.
Why is the sideloading being denied? Am I tapping/not tapping something at the right time?
Thanks

If you can't get that to work, try it this way (have to download sqlite editor in the market)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13451234&postcount=22
If you are not rooted, it will not allow you to do this though. It will tell you if you are rooted when it asks for SU permissions
I was having the same issue. So I was going to try this too. I'm using root explorer cause thats what I have. Does that matter?
The question I have is I can't find that directory. I'm running a search now but it's taking forever.
Thanks!!

I'm a retard, I didn't ever find that directory but I tried the other method again and it worked.
I'm a Mac user and forgot to add the driver to my windows side in VMware. I rooted on the OSX side so I wasn't even thinking about it.
Thanks for the tip any way!

This is my first android and first time rooting. This sounds like it may be above my ability to try. I was panicky just doing the Gingerbreak method.
Here was a response at android central (in red) and my response on what I tried (in blue).
Sounds like you may or may not be rooted, and that you don't have "sideloading" setup. You need to find the sideloading app and install it. The installation will give you (after it's completed) the ability to install apps from unknown sources. That will appear in Settings, under Applications and you need to be sure that the box has a check mark in it. Do you see a Super User app in your app drawer? If you do, you can check and see if it has granted SU permission to any of the apps in your drawer. If it hasn't try running one of the apps that require you to be rooted, in order to work - like Root Explorer, ShootMe or Titanium Backup.
-Mike.
I see the Super User in my app drawer. I've only downloaded free Titanium Backup since I "rooted" the phone. (Again, I thought I was rooted because I was able to download Titanium Backup) Titanium Backup is the only app showing when I open the Super User app. When I tap on Titanium backup, it's status shows "Allow". Also, I can open Titanium Backup. I guess I can use it's basic functions, but I can't freeze anything since it's the free version. So I am assuming it is functioning.
Ok I just downloaded and installed ShootMe. (It nows shows up in the Superuser app along with Titanium Backup) When I open it, this is what it says.. Shootme has been granted Superuser permissions...Trying to start server....Failed starting server. Please check you have "Root" access on your device and enabled access to the lower level graphics.
So am I actually rooted? Can I run Gingerbreak again (I still have it on my phone), or will that cause more problems?
Which sideloading app are you referring too? I was using GladEnabler, without luck. Don
So does it sound like I'm rooted?
If not can I re-run Gingerbreak?
Will only root necessary apps show up in the SuperUser app, or should all my apps show up in it?
Thanks

No, you have to have sqlite editor from the market to change the values. If you download that, you will see what I am talking about.
Most people use sqlite on the pc when you change the values, so this is almost easier to do on the phone in this case since there is an app for it.

Yea, you should be able to rerun Gingerbreak if it was not successful at first.
You can sideload Gingerbreak with the Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine if you like.
And No, it doesn't sound like you are rooted fully.
It's pretty easy but a guide never hurts!
The first way is to download apks straight from the internet. Credit to yaggermr for finding this first. Thread Here
1. Find your apk. Heres some to get you started
Go Launcher
Amazon appstore! You need to enter your email and they will email you a link.
2. In your notification area, when the download is completed click on it to open it. A popup will appear click the second option package installer. Now click on install. and you are done!
3. To find your apps click the nook button then click search and start typing in the app you want.
The second way is to use ES file explorer I was able to install apk's I had on my SD card through ES.
GO Launcher
**** started new thread ****
I have a rooted NT and GO Launcher v2.65 running with little to no problem except that everytime I reboot any widgets I have added report back:
"Problem loading widget"
None of the apps are loaded on the SD-Card. I've tried a clean install with a reroot with nothing done except Go Launcher and a gapp or two to test the widgets but still get the error. Am I the only one?
On a side note after I rooted I didn't have to search for the Go app link anymore it just accepts the default setting.
Thanks in advance.

This is a Go Launcher error, the program's data has become corrupted. Clear the program cache and then go to the Go Launcher settings and restart the program.
I rooting my NT via t-r-i-c-k mac script and got it up and running just fine. However, I accidentally hit the default on homecatcher to the Nook Home and not the goLauncher home.
Anyone know how you can get back to where you can choose and there is no default. Thanks!
BTW t-r-i-c-k thanks for making such an easy root.
Just install another free launcher. Then Homecatcher will start prompting again and you can uninstall it. There may be a more elegant fix, but this only takes a minute.

Clear defaults from the Application Settings or install another launcher to clear defaults.
Homecatcher settings
Same problem here, I cannot get my Nook button back to original after installing Homecatcher. Installing new launchers and resetting defaults and cache do nothing. I have uninstalled it and my launchers trying to get the prompt back. There is no access to settings in Homecatcher only a donate link, what's up with that? How do you access the settings? How can I get my 'N' button to once again pull up my Nook default settings? Thank you in advance.
you can download manage applications on android market then go to homecatcher and clear defaults
Re-installed Homecatcher
I did the same thing on my son's NT and spent a few hours doing things, including trying to re-root, which didn't need to be done & I couldn't figure out how to do it. I read this thread & tried to find those options, but to no avail. . . so I just decided to find the Homecatcher app and re-installed it & the N function to toggle back and forth between the Nook home & Android launcher works just fine now.
I made the same mistake and no longer have homecatcher giving me the option, when I look at it with ES file manager there are no defaults, I have uninstalled and reinstalled homecatcher from the reference thread on this forum, still only BN home comes up and when I goto homecatcher I only get the donate screen.
I had made this mistake before but can't seem to clear it this time....please help?
I have tried to install other launchers, but they get errors and won't install.
Resolved - restored B&N home and homecatcher from Titanium Backup, working fine now. I think restoring the backup of B&N home is what really fixed it. I suspect that's where the default became set and it wasn't visible from ES Filemanager or Go Launcher so I could not clear the default.
Moved To Q&A
Please post all questions in the Q&A section
I just saw this on the XDA home page. Its a new super user app. As we know, the SU app on CM7 is a little buggy and doesnt always give super user permissions. Maybe this app will work better for us. Im going to be trying it out soon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
UPDATE: So I installed it and tested all my root apps. Seems to work well. I will give it a day or two and see if I have any of the apps fail to get root permissions. If this works and fixes the SU problems we have, then this is a great thing for us CM7 users.

Since I am very familiar with ADB and the command line, I tore apart the apk in the linked thread OP to make sure I understood what was happening during the install. I moved the original su binary and Superuser.apk to my emmc (internal memory card), manually pushed the new files out to my phone, and then rebooted.
Once CM7DX2 came all the way up, I started doing some testing and noticed the the original Superuser APK was still showing up in my app drawer. If DOESN'T appear to be conflicting with the new SuperSU APK, but I'm not sure. I have had a few times of the SuperSU app stop responding and asking to either force close or wait. After hitting wait a few times, I ended up just FCing the app.
Once everything smoothed out, the SuperSU seems to have worked, bu, I was still receiving "not responding" messages from the SuperSU app when apps were asking for Root access.
I am going to also cross-post this to the linked OP thread and see if Chainfire wants more digging into this.
Also, as a side note, I think the reason the CM7DX2 Superuser APK was still appearing is that it MAY be installed as part of 2nd-init. I'm not 100% sure about this.
So, in conclusion, for CM7DX2, I think this needs more digging in to and I will offer to work with Chainfire to see what we can do.
Ciao!

Thanks Moon Shadow. The only time I had it hang on "asking for root access" is with Titanium Backup. I think that had to do with the SuperSU app freezing though when trying to get into the settings tab in the app. It just freezes up when selecting that and I had to go into application seetings and manually force stop the app. After that, everything worked fine. I think its just that settings tab for some reason.
The way I installed it was installed SuperSU from the market, then uninstalled the old Super User through the market. I then opened SuperSU and it asked to update so I did. After that, I went through all my root apps and the new SuperSU prompt popped up for all and I granted access. I too see the old SU in the app drawer. Opening that though shows that the only thing that its granting root access to is the new SuperSU app. It doesnt seem to be conflicting with anything so far.

Kind of random but Moon, you are a goddamn machine. The moment something great releases you take it apart and make it better. Good **** man, good ****.
Just including my experience...
SuperSU is working like a champ, but had major issues until I removed Superuser completely.
Here's how I installed:
- Install SuperSU from market
- Uninstall Superuser from settings > applications
- Launch SuperSU and allow it to update it's binary
- Delete superuser.apk from system/apps (use root explorer, es file explorer, terminal, etc...)
- Reboot
Since changing over to SuperSU, I haven't seen a single hang while an app is requesting su permissions.

Did you go Settings> Applications> Manage Applications and hit the app? If you dont see that option, go into Titanium Backup (an app you have no excuse not having) and uninstall it. Then go into Root explorer and follow the above directions to totally remove it. Then reboot. It may seem like it isnt totally gone cause you may see the icon somewhere, but it likely is gone and a reboot is needed in order to confirm.
yea got the tiBu. but i tried force stopping and clearing data and uninstall never popped up. thought about removing in TiBu buts thats not what it said in the instructions.

Did it disappear after you rebooted? If you have root explorer, go into system/app and see if SU is still gone. If so, you're in good shape.
to clarify
before i even started i backed up original superuser.apk to a folder on sdcard from root explorer, then
i downloaded supersu from market.
went to settings-app-manage apps- etc no choice to uninstall. force stopped- cleared data, still no uninstall option.
went into titanium backup to uninstall from there and superuser wasnt even listed in the apps! (ok weird)
only option left is to just delete from root explorer then continue continue to launch supersu, update binaries and reboot but im holding off.
Lowend was supersuper listed in titanium for u? y isnt it showing up in my list. i find it odd

I can't find superuser in TB either... it is kind of weird...
i believe u cant delete superuser from tibu cus u need superuser for root access so its like a paradox. i dunno y instructions were as someone showed cus it seems the only way to get this to work properly is delete from root explorer. but im gunna hold off till someone confirms this more legit
I don't understand why you're holding off...if SuperSU is active, go for the reboot and see if the old superuser app clears.

id rather not have a headache if it messes something up.
this thread however gives some detail on supersu
looks like sum apps look for the presence of superuser.apk in data/app and possibly system/app.
a dummy file looks like it can resolve issues. ill switch when more testing is done on CM7dx2.

It's odd that you guys don't see the uninstall option for it... Do you see it in Market (err...Google Play, stupid name)? That's another way to get the uninstall done. If it doesn't show up there, you should be able to use root explorer and delete it from /data/apps and /system/apps.
When we installed CM7, the instructions had us update Superuser from market. That would have installed it in /data/apps, so it just needs to be yanked from there. Uninstall via market, tibu, settings>apps or manual through root explorer should all do the same thing. Then you can delete the built in one from system.
Also, if for some reason the whole process breaks down on you...there's a flashable version of the original Superuser that will probably get you going again. I haven't tried it on CM7 though...

The most recent update (pushed yesterday) fixed this for me.
Hi all,
I rooted my Nook tablet using NT16or8gbV47SDimagefile.img and it worked fine.
My only problem is that when I'm using the android portion of it and try to use Google Market to install an app it keeps taking me to the Nook screen saying "Install blocked". I go into settings from the install blocked screen and tick the "Allow installation of non-market applications" but it does not seem to remember this choice and I keep getting the same error over and over.
Any solutions to this problem?
Thanks,
-Cerul
I've found the same issue. It seems as the updated my hidden settings broke the option. I reflashed from the SD card. Backed up nt hidden settings through titanium. Good to go again.
Use a file explorer, go into system/app and replace with the one I attached might be the easiest way.
