easy sideloading new way. - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Hi guys, just found an easy way to to get the hidden setting for starting the sideload process from browser.
put any app (".apk" file) on the sdcard anyway easy for you, give it an easy short name before actaully moving it to sdcard, so you remember and not make mistake typing it later.
In the Nook Tablet open the browser type: file://localhost/sdcard/appxxxx.apk
Substitute appxxxx.apk with your apk file actual name.
This will bring hidden settings, then choose unkown source and off you go.
This is first step to to root..

Thanks for sharing.
Is "appxxxx.apk" the name of the app we want to side-load or the actual keystrokes we type in? Does this method work after 1.4.1 update?

Its more oriented to 1.4.1 so yes will work because unknown sources its a must in order to sideload from links and applications.

noob here... I also need guidance about the appXXXX.apk. What do I fill in for the XXXX? Can I get an example?
Thanks in advance!!

How did you put the app on the SD card - via your PC? And then do I replace the four Xs with the app name, as in file://localhost/appangrybirds.apk? Can we do this with 1.4.1 unrooted?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume...
"AppXXXX" ... aka "GenericAppName" ... aka "FillInTheBlank" .
I think what he found is that by going through the web browser and into your directory structure, it somehow bypasses the preventative check that would come up and say "BN Store .apks only!".
Could be wrong... i don't have 1.4.1.
edit: from the OP's description, it seems possible, however highly unlikely, that the Settings menu in which you allow unknown sources is accessed by launching an app called "AppXXXX.apk". Again... highly unlikely, but I could see some confusion from the way he typed it.

OP is perfectly clear and this works with rooted 1.4.0. appxxxx.apk means maps.apk.
Thanks MikeCH

Will this work with non rooted 1.41 nook tablet?

Is it possible to get a browser to download directly to the SD card instead of manually having to do it?

dude... just type this in the browser....
nook1.adamoutler.com
nook2.adamoutler.com
nook3.adamoutler.com
Those three addresses will give full functionality to an unrooted tablet with just sideloading. They load: Hidden Settings, homecatcher, and launcherpro.
Have fun.

No joy
Tried this on a stock NT 1.4.1.
file://localhost/appname.apk
Results in "file not found"
file://localhost/sdcard/appname.apk
Does pop the installer selection screen, but then the install is blocked by 1.4.1 just like other side-load methods. Methinks the author doesn't have a stock 1.4.1. Perhaps he has unknown sources enabled from a previous root?

Apxxx.apk means any app xxx is for you to substitute for your .Apk actual name.

Absolutely, just google an apk file and download it. Then go to your browser menu to the downloads and open the file. This should bring the hidden setting too.

I didn't see your answer to "does this work after the 1.41 update?" Can you tell us if:
1. The NT must be rooted
2. The update number , i.e., 1.40 or 1.41
Thanks

I'm going under the assumption that the op has a rooted tablet, since he did not state otherwise.

This is about getting you rooted, and eventually side-load what ever.

[HOWTO] Use WinSCP for Android

Coming from the world of apple iphone I am learning everything new here. One thing I loved about iphone was the ability to use WinSCP to modify root files. I understand that this can be done on the phone with in andriod but I have big hands and find it easier to use Winscp and mouse to navigate files on the phone.
Note: Mod if this in wrong section please help move
*Prerequisites: ROOT
*Tools required: SSHDROID (from market place it is free). Winscp
Install SSHDROID
Install WInscp (your pc will restart after install)
Connect your phone to your local wifi
open sshdroid, allow SUPER USER
in winscp type in ip address of phone (can be found by going to with in sshdriod screen)
Default User name is "root"
Default Password is "admin"
recommend changing... both user name and password
USer name can be change when first logging in winscp, password can be change with in SSHDROID in setting.
there you go you can now explor root files with in winscp with mouse and keyboard.
update : pictures of it working
nice, i never really bothered with this before, but its a good idea and probably worth the short amount of time required for setup, i'll try this later.
Yeah, Thanks... I remember when I came over from icrap, I was looking for a way to SSH, but gave up and just used rootexplorer for everything, and adb. This will definitely help though, especially since I like to edit the build prop on the pc.
**Edit**
Works great... so much easier to browse now. IMO
does this work to show system files? I use Samba Filesharing from the market to view my files through integrated windows networking (samba), but the system files don't show, just the sdcard.

Yes, he says it displays root files, and system files fall under that. I haven't tested myself so I can't personally testify but I'd be inclined to trust the OP on that.

Thanks! Worked flawlessly! I was looking for this since i moved over from iphone..Very handy and quick!
I can confirm that using SSHDroid in combination with WinSCP, will preserve the file time stamp (modified date) when copying files from Windows to Android 2.3.5 or Android 4.4.2. Most copy methods will update the file time stamp. (I don't think it makes any difference but both of the devices were rooted.)

Asus Transformer Browser APK - Working Labs

here's asus's version of the browser apk.
you get the thumbscrolling and working labs.
you lose being able to back page from a flash site (takes about 4-6 quick backs to go back) and you lose some ua strings. only tablet, desktop and mobile-phone are available, so since you can't pick ipad some html5 sites won't stream right since they haven't added android tablet recognition.
back up your browser and browser.odex files.
would it be possible to come up with our own custom browser when source is released?
why dont you just use the one from your tablet?

missing labs option so no quick controls for those who may want it and missing thumb scroll bar.
No offense but you might wanna return your tablet then.. Which version do you have and why would you wanna lose those features??? Just saying..
Those are very nice features but not worth keeping a transformer or xoom over the tab 10.1.
I'm wondering though now that I'm rooted if I can just use this to replace the stock browser completely.
Woohooooo. Replaced the stock browser that came with it and installed this one into the system/app folder. Working great... man I missed my thumb controls. Moreso because of the fullscreen mode...I hated how the address bar took up so much real estate.
Nice!!! Congrats!! I'm glad it all worked out..

What is the best way to go about installing this ?
@madsquabbles: If you have enough patience to read and write Dalvik bytecode, you can make your own mods to the Honeycomb browser today. I modded my Galaxy Tab 10.1's browser to use Duck Duck Go instead of Google as default search, and it works fine. (For the patch and helper scripts, see github/Sakurina/mitsuki. I'd link, but not enough posts for that yet.)
@xManMythLegend: Back up the browser, uninstall the browser using the commands from CyanogenMod's wiki (the "Make a barebones system" page linked on the front page), and then installing the apk should work via adb. If you don't uninstall the browser beforehand, you'll run into an inconsistent certificates error message.
The downside is that using a custom browser breaks delta updates such as the 3.1 update; it tries to modify the browser, can't find it, and bails out.
Thanks. Without root wasn't sure ...it'd been awhile

being that i want to make sure i stay rooted i'll only upgrade via custom roms or after root is found.
but thanks for the tip. i'd have quite a bit of learning to do in order to start playing with the code. maybe i'll dig around for the heck of it and see what samsung did to fix the back page button for flash sites.
i've got the xoom apk and gonna try that tonight and see what it offers.

Cant install this. Tried adb and terminal both telling me read only.
ADB finds device adb shell doesnt respond to remount
terminal just says read only file when i try to remove.+
Rooted earlier today , updated sdk. Any thoughts ?
i believe you have to type "adb remount" first then you can write to the system.
i use root explorer b/c is easier for and i don't have to use a pc.
here's the link for the xoom browser. i didn't get a chance to try it out yesterday.

I have not tried adb for quite some time so perhaps there is a problem with commands or the order I am trying. It always finds the device. Adb shell starts fine but fails on remount.
Root explorer also gave me read only but I was trying to replace the apk as I failed to uninstall per cyanogen wiki.
you have to click the r/o r/w button at the top in root expl (if this doesn't work then you're either not rooted, haven't installed su, or haven't given root expl su permissions). then rename your browser.apk to browser.apk.bak (or whatever) and same with the browser.odex. it's probably safer to back them up to you pc too.
then copy over the other browser.apk and fix the permissions.. forgot what it is, but it has to be the same as all the other apks 644 i think. reboot and launch the browser.

"My phone number" in About Phone==>Status

Hi, I've read a lot of threads about this and have found no feasible answer to this (at least for me). My Atrix 4G running android 2.3.4 on Blue Chronic firmware "HomeBase Mega4 - Gingerbread 2.3.4" shows a blank field in the "My phone number" section. I know that using a Sony Ericsson or an old Samsung phone will allow me to edit this on my sim card, however I do not have access to either of these types of phones. Has anybody found a way to edit this on the Atrix itself, either by using SQLite editor or even using Root Explorer's text editor? I can do it easily if I can just find the fields that need to be edited. Please help.
Any possible solutions will be much appreciated.
Also does anybody know where I can find the .apk files after an apps been installed, do they get saved to a folder on the phone like a computer's "Temporary Internet Files" folder when you just click "run" in the dialog box?

Download AppMonster, select the app you want the apk for, select backup. Use Root Explorer to navigate to sdcard/appmonster2/[the app you want]/rev/you will find the apk here
Thanks Pirate.
Now I still need the My phone number info, hopefully someone has that info....
You can edit the phone number using CM7
hmm, I have blue chronic right now, maybe I'll try to install CM7 again, last time I tried my phone soft bricked itself.. well, I soft bricked it...
Edit: Thanks for the tip though, I'll try it again...
Update: For some reason I am unable to install CM7. No clue why, I'll do a little research and try again. In the mean time if anyone has any other possible solutions, they would be much appreciated.
Still having trouble with this, if anyone has any roms other than CM7 that they would recommend that would be nice.

Just download the Rom Manager app from the market, it should let you know if your recovery is up to date and offer to update it for you if it isn't
Okay, I stated doing that after I saw your post, but just to be on the safe side, what is the recommended version, or if you're not entirely sure, where can I get it?

You have to use the cd (change directory command) in your command prompt to get to where you fastboot program is so for example if its file path is c:/androidtools/fastboot.exe
you would have to open cmd and type
Code:
cd c:\androidtools\
and then you could run any fastboot commands from there
if you don't already have fastboot it's here

It's the same for me
I had that problem when I switched my carrier. I have not came across a ROM for it that allows SIM number change. If you dont have an issue installing this, use that to change your number, otherwise you might need to borrow someone's blackberry phone to do it, most of the BB's are known to be able to edit SIM numbers apparently.
I ended up digging out my old Acer Liquid E running CM7 based ROM which had the SIM number option and worked like a charm on my current SIM (it is the proper number now). But this option is no where to be found on the Atrix's CM7 ROMs

Finally!!! A method to regain root access for .21 WITHOUT Unlocking

I have not seen it posted here but wolf849 has put together a guide to downgrade so you can downgrade, root then upgrade to .21 all without the need for root access or unlocking.
I linked below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622628
Thanks! I stupidly updated to .21 right away when I first got my prime and regretted it ever since. Finally I can get some use out of this!
Man this is GREAT news.
Even a noob like me has down graded from .21 down to .15
Used Vipor Mod to reroot - Thank you Vipor Boy
Intalled OTA Rootkeeper and backed up my root
reinstalled the .21 updated
restored root!!!!
Thank You Wolf

It worked! Downgraded to .15 from .21 and have now managed to install SuperUser and SU binary. Waiting for OTA Rootkeeper to install before upgrading to .21 again.
Finally I can fix some of the bugs that I've had to put up with due to Asus' incompetence, such as the bad I/O performance and shocking web browser performance.
Awesome, I've been looking for a solution for a good while. I'm glad this is confirmed. Hopefully someone will update the reference guide to link it to wolf's guide!

Well, we want the following blob, as it has the exploit that allows us to gain root.
WW 9.4.2.15 - MD5: 55122257B30E9376DF463F3C1A8BA702 - (or zip)
That's the "world wide" version, I'm not sure which firmware locale you should have as you're Canadian? Check you "About tablet" section with your tab settings and see which firmware you have installed.
There's threads around which tell you how to extract blobs from the firmwares on Asus' website, so if you need a different version to the world wide blob, you could extract your own.
Just follow his method 2, I did and it was very easy as long as you have adb set-up.

Yes, that's correct. However I would recommend ensuring you use the blob for your region. The one Wolf links to is the WW (world wide) version.
A little help for Android noob, please. I read that I need ADB enabled.
What is that? I looked on Google Play, and there is no app specifically named ADB.
Is that the checkmark "Allow USB Debugging" listed under Developer Options?
Do I also need to install something similar on my Win7 PC.
If I can figure out this ADB stuff, I think I'm good to go.
Thanks,
bob
Edit: Will we be able to use this same technique when they come out with their new update....or is it better to wait till that arrives?

ADB is a tool that comes with the Android SDK, so you need to install the SDK onto your laptop and install the SDK Tools and Platform Tools. Then edit your path variable so that your command line know's where to find the adb executable. You might also have to install Java development kit, I'm not sure if the Android SDK manager moans if you don't have it installed.
There's easier ways of using ADB, by just downloading the .dll and .exe and referencing them via command line but I always recommend having a full SDK tool install and learning about ADB as it's a god send.

Like I said, go to "About Tablet" in your tablet settings and there's something called a "Build Number". Mine says IML74K.WW_epad-9.4.2.21-20120323 - the initials stipulate which region firmware you have, in my case "WW" aka World Wide.
If anyone can locate a US blob please let me know, I've been searching on the forums for a .15 US blob to no avail and no luck at all.

How To Use. THIS IS FOR THE PC ONLY. No plans ever for Mac or Linux. Sorry.
1. Download the toolkit DO NOT RENAME THE FOLDER
2. Download Winrar from here. Install it after you download it
3. Extract the folder anywhere.
4. Run the program.
thx for replying so quick, after i downloaded then i extract to desktop and just run the program by clicking the symbol written as desire, am i doing it right?
Try to unpack it somewhere else on a root of some partition of your PC, try to unpack it to non system partition.
ok thx, i'll try it tomorrow, i'm sorry i've to go home coz it's 11.41pm already in my town, and i'm still on friend's house.
thx anyway for your reply, i'll let you know the progress
hi nlooooo, i did what u told me to do and it worked, i unpacked to (Cdrive, but another problem came on my device when i clicked get token id.
here is the picture shows the problem
@nlooooo.....i just tried your way on rooting this device, and same problem came up on step 8 when getting token id, still it says C:\ Document is not recognized as an internal or external command openable program or batch file, i've found out my device still locked, is it because of the device still lock? here's the image shown
problem solved
hi nlooooo......i've rooted my device, just try to put all the downloaded file to C:drive, and followed your tutorial on your thread, and i succeeded, at least i saw superuser on my device, thx alot for your tutorial.
No problem, that's why we're here. If you see it then it should be it. Try to install some app that requires root privileges (Titanium Backup for ex) and see if it can get SU rights.
hi.....any recommendation of apps or what to do after this rooting? cos i really a noob in android and root things. thx

Go and open Superuser app, swipe to first screen and see if the binary is installed. Then go and clear data for Titanium and open it again.
If you still have the problem use some root explorer to check folder system/bin if there is a file named su.

I've got the same screen too, nothing is happening. What did you do to make it work?
i am getting stuck at last step i am always getting this message sending 'unlocktoken' (0kb) .
i have not installed htc sync app but just directly installed the drivers for unlocking purpose.
the boot loader is recognizing the usb connection as Fastboot usb.
using windows 7 32 bit operating system.
tried putting the unlock_code in c drive and desktop but it doesnt work.
the file is just a 1kb file.
the default view is shown as a vlc player file.
any help will much appreciated. this is my 1st htc mobile and am not used to this kind of rooting. previously owned a samsung so was using odin a lot.
