1)Download the latest version of Android SDK (which includes adb executable)
2)If you are installing Android SDK on Windows machine, you also need to install USB driver.

3)Connect the phone using USB cable and do not enable USB storage mode.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and enable USB debugging.
Make sure you also check install from unknown sources option.
4)Start terminal window on your computer (on Windows: click Start, type “cmd” and press Enter).
5)In the terminal window, navigate to this folder : C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools by default.
Check C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools if you’re using a 32-bit version of Windows.
6)Run the adb devices command and you should see your connected Android device.Enter : adb devices
7)Enter : adb shell pm set-install-location 2
(If this command doesn’t work try using the “old” command: pm setInstallLocation 2)
8)If you want to revert this change later and install apps to the internal storage by default, run this command: adb shell pm set-install-location 0
( 0 represents your device’s internal storage, and is the default. 2 represents the external storage, whether it’s an SD card or USB storage. )
9)If the process is sucessfully completed,you will get a new prompt in the cmd window.Reboot and start moving the apps.
A Warning:Some apps shouldn’t be installed to your SD card and should remain installed on the internal storage. The external storage is unavailable when your Android device is mounted on your computer, so apps that remain running all the time should be left on your internal storage.

There is no internal sd card folder, if you see the folder in a file manager it ever means the "external sd card" cause we have no internal (like on the galaxy nexus or sgs3)

Couple more Qs:
1) Just to be clear... the method mentioned above " install app to SD card" means installing to the USB storage in SG S2 right? (I just noticed that this the SONY area...I thought the problem would be universal for all android?)
2) Except for the system apps, can't you just move the apps that you get from the market to the USB storage (SD card folder) by going to setup>applications.....move to SD card ?? I thought going through the setup moved the app files to the USB storage anyway. Then why go through the ADB? Is it just for the convenience of not have to move the apps individually one by one?
3) So, there's no way to install the apps directly to an external SD (miro SD)?

1)yes,this will move the apps to the external storage...
2)Some apps like the flash player and whatsapp can't be moved to the sd card even if they aren't system apps,this method will move them too..
3)if you enable this method...then apps will be installed to the sd card by default

Tried it and seemed as if there was no prob....,but it still installs apps to internal memory...rebooted and retried several times. I installed apps from the playstore....
There were no errors and after downloading ADB from SDK i followed your instructions and typed the following:
adb devices
adb shell pm set-install-location 2 (initially tried setinstalLocation 2, but came up with error)
any idea why its not working?
My phone is SGS2 GT-i9100T
This is a video link to the tutorial : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjfk9lqmdYo&feature=youtu.be
CHEERS!
i did this trick, i cross checked the default install location to 2. it shows fine. but i want to ask that do all the files of an installed program get installed on the sd card? I mean is it complete and full installation of an application on the SD card or some program files will get to internal memory also and rest would be in the sd card?
I factory reset my spice mi-280 android 2.3 version phone and tried this trick, but as i am installing an application, my internal memory is getting filled up little by little as i install more apps.
Some part of the app obviously remains in the internal memory.These are the important files need to start the app and run it without bugs.As you must have seen in the case of games,most of it is transferred to the SD card but some part remains in the internal storage.The tutorial enabled the remaining apps to move part of the installed app to the SD card so as to make space in the internal memory.
Hope it helped.
@anivesh93
Thanks so much for posting this. I am just a regular kind of phone user, without much knowledge on Android, etc.
When I saw on my phone that I could not "get rid of" Facebook I was disappointed with my ST15i.
Don't get me wrong, the phone is far and away better than any other phones I have owned.
I am going to test out your method and see if it will allow me to control apps like I had hoped when I originally bought the phone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S. Maybe you could point me in the right direction on my own goals.
{I should note I am not a person who does not try to find out how to do something, but I don't even know the right search terms to begin to look....To crunch through 1000s of replies and guides would get too much}
Would you please take a look at my post and tell me if what I am wanting to do could be even done? I am not looking for a lengthy explanation, just to know that "yes,it can be done" or "no,it can't be done" {unless I am willing to figure out a lot of complicated stuff and most likley brick my phone (which I cannot risk doing }

I was afraid you might say that
Honestly, it is so easy and inexpensive to switch SIM cards here, that to have 2 numbers to separate work & personal life, seemed a no-brainer.
A new number costs me less than $4.....and gives me access to a 3G network + GPS. No contract. Pay as you go....
I am beginning to take a look at where the overlaps/shares are occuring. It seems to me {in my limited knowledge} that the key here is the actual phone number & possibly, the IMEI #. How to route data by setting up the phone to switch from one set of storage/files/settings to another is not yet apparent...Will keep trying..
Thanks Anivesh

After some reading, it appears what I am trying to accomplish may not be as difficult as I first thought.
I am thinking of a Dual Boot scenario with 2 different Sim + SD combinations...
The OS would basically be 2 slightly different versions of Jelly Bean...
The difference may only end up being coding/setting where info & folders are stored on each SD card...

Laptop doesnt detect device
Dear kind sir,
Im a total noob on this. So i apologize if my question offends you.
I've been trying this techic but i couldnt make it work. My laptop can seem to detect my device while in cmd prompt.
Im running a HTC HD2 with ICS 4.0.3, and my laptop is a Win 7 Pro 32 bit.
I've disable the root, enable the USB debugging, Enable ADB over network, and Allow mock location.
However, i failed to find the "Make sure you also check install from unknown sources option" on the Settings -> Applications MENU...
So how do you advice i go about this???

Try finding that option in the security menu in settings or you can google it.It is very easy to find(I am currently on JB and don't remember exactly where it appears in ICS).

*ALL THE USUAL DISCLAIMERS AND WARNINGS*
*THIS IS FOR VERSION 1.1 ONLY, DON’T TRY ON 1.0.0 OR 1.0.1*
Credit goes to: GabrialDestruir for the original auto-nooter, GLa’DOS for the boot animation, pokey9000 for nooter, Mistar Muffin for Market and GTalk Fix, clockworx for the “non-ugly” patch that is used to get androidID, mastapsi for testing and coding of the original auto-nooter, lewellyn for coding, [mbm] for ABI Fix, Hotaru for the Gingerbread keyboard, rpollard00 for DroidX keyboard with bigger font, bpk for Soft Keys, Ben74 for NookColor Tools which enables Non Market Installs and re-enable of ADB , Freenode's #nookcolor chat for code checking. A special thanks to all developers out there, without all of you this community would not be as great as it is.
Please Note: If you are the developer of an app that is included in this work, and would like me to remove it, feel free to contact me.
*I am copying the following step from the original auto-nooter, because they are tried and true, and people are already familiar with seeing them*
What it does:
Installs su and Superuser.apk
Installs Busybox with whoami
Installs Softkeys 3.0.6
Installs NookColor Tools (To Enable Non-Market Installs, and re-enable ADB)
Installs Calendar and Calculator.
Installs Android Market, Gmail, Youtube
Installs Gingerbread Keyboard
Enable ADB
Enable Multi-touch for Android Apps
Enables Live Wallpapers
Enables Android Market and Gmail.
App Auto Install (Open up NooterFiles from sdcard drop in /data/app)
Known Problems:
With the version 1.1 update, ADB will not stay active after a reboot or unplug of the cable. To enable each time you want to use it, you will have to go into NookColor Tools /All Settings/Development/USB debugging, you will have to uncheck the box and then recheck it.
How to Use:
Before you begin:
* To update to 1.1 you must do a complete wipe.
* You must update to 1.1 to use Auto-Nooter 3.0.0 Instructions HERE.
1 You must already have a registered NOOKcolor
2 You must have a Gmail/Youtube linked Account. IF you used a Gmail account for B&N Registration you should use that one for this process.
3 You must either have dd (Linux) or WinImage (Windows) software.
4 You must have an external microSDCard reader or this will not work. Do NOT use the NC.
5 You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.
Let's get started:
1 Download Auto-Nooter from here: MultiUpload or MediaFire
*MD5 FB74865663B8D797A486A85022FAD9B2*
2 Linux: Unzip and use dd if=auto-nooter-3.0.0.img of=/dev/sdcard
2 Windows: Unzip and use WinImage to "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image" to your SDcard.
2 Windows Alternative: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download
3 Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)
4 Insert AutoNooter SDcard into your NOOKcolor.
5 Plug the USB cable into your computer and your NOOKcolor. (This will boot up the NOOKcolor.)
6 Your NookColor will reboot when it's done.
That was the hard part, now to the simple stuff.
7 Upon boot unlock your screen.
8 At the Android Welcome Screen skip Sign In.
9 Enable Location Services when given the option.
10 Connect to Wifi and launch Youtube from "Extras".
11 Click the Menu button (The one RIGHT of the Up Arrow).
12 Select "My Channel" and Login using your Gmail Account.
13 Exit Youtube and Launch Gmail from "Extras".
14 Sync your Gmail Account and Exit. (If it fails to sync that is fine.)
15 Open up Market and Accept Terms and Service.
If you made it this far your nook should be successfully Rooted. Go Download an App to make sure.
16 Enable Non-Market Installs by running the NookColor Tools App.
17 If your Youtube fails to launch, download the attached EVO HQ, and follow this code in adb
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb uninstall com.google.android.youtube
adb push YouTube.apk /system/app
adb reboot
18 Go to Settings > Device Info > SdCard > UnMount > Format
Complete Wipe:
1 8 Failed Boots > Wipes /system
2 Factory ResetFactory Reset > Wipes /data
*You must do both of these to completely wipe clean your NOOKcolor.*
*Before anyone starts to say that I took this project away from GabrialDestruir, I posted this file in the original post, and sent the OP a PM asking to update the current project. I have yet to hear back, and the post was not updated. My post can be found HERE, dated February 2, 2011. I felt that this would be of a benefit to the community, so I am posting it now. If I am asked at some point to take it down I will do so at that time.*
Forgive my ignorance here, but I thought you were never supposed to use the NC to format your SD card? (last step)
I thought I read somewhere that it messes up something in the emmc?
Hopefully I'm wrong and just paranoid

I have never really seen an explanation as to why you don't format on the NC. I have formated via the NC and the card works fine both in the NC and my PC. When I want to burn an image, I have been able too. Been able to flash other images on it too.
Excellent!
Can you please add an MD5 to the first post?

Formatting the SDcard doesn't touch the onboard storage. It is one of the easier ways to remove bonus partitions to recover the full card. UPDATE: I should clarify this: when running Eclair internally.

Any benefit of this over the 1.1r2 many of us did from autonootered 1.0.1?

You're thinking of Nookie Froyo. The stock B&N system is fine for formatting the card.
I think formatting the SD card is an issue when you use one of the Froyo images and boot from eMMC. When you format the SD card it actually formats the internal boot partition or some such. I remember reading it in one of the threads which led me to only boot the Froyo images from an external card.
I am at 1.1.0. When did 1.1.1 appear & how do I get it?
BTW Is this exactly the same as the interim A-N 2.12.25 modified for 1.1?

I'd say it's a typo and should be v1.1?

also interested to know that!
And if there is benefits, can we use the auto nooter?
Just for clarification, in steps 3 & 4 should the NC be turned off? I have never been sure if it matters, but the following statement makes me think that it should be off,
"5 Plug the USB cable into your computer and your NOOKcolor. (This will boot up the NOOKcolor.)"
Thanks,

I guess it should be the same, but I had a couple of games break after up'ing with 1.1_r2. So I wanted to try stock/clean 1.1 and then root...hoping this would bring them back.
help please
I'm having a problem rooting my nook color. 2 weeks ago I was fully rooted and for some reason I forget why? but I went back to stock. recently I updated to the newest Barnes & noble firmware. seeing the recent developments of honeycomb I wanted to root my nook again. so I tried downgrading to firmware before the most recent update and using that version of auto nooter. I followed the instructions exactly to a tee. the problem is my nook wont load the disk image from the sd card. I made sure to fully format the sd card before writing the img with Win32DiskImager. I made sure the nook was completely off then plugging in the usb to into the pc to wake up the nook. but nothing? the nook boots up like normal then says sd card damaged. I've formatted the sd card again and have used the newest nooter for my current 1.1. but nothing. the only difference is the first time I rooted I was at my mothers and used her pc. it was a windows vista 64 bit. my computer is windows seven 64 bit. anyone have any idea's as to why the nook wont load the sd card with the nooter image? I'm using the same sd card I was able to root from before. so I seriously doubt its the sd card. I am properly formatting it before writing the img. I am having no problem writing the img. any help would be appreciated

You probably have a bad burn on the sdcard. Are you writing to the sdcard from the sd card reader or from the nook? Also, if you return to stock, (8 failed boots, then Power+N) You should be on firmware 1.0.0 or 1.0.1. Then root using one of the two original auto nooters, download rom manager from the market and flash the 1.1 pre-rooted firmware.
Thanks buddy, I try doing that. and I don't have an sd card reader so I just put the sd card that I'm going to write into my cell phone. then mount the sd card and write the img to the same storage device that represents the sd card. I'm sure this is the wrong way of doing it but I have gotten root doing the same thing before
Giving this a go now, coming from auto-nootered 1.0.1.

Hi All! After huge search in the forum i found the guides scattered ,so i decided to put it in 1 thread helping all the newbies to install custom rom.
PROCEDURE INVOLVED
1.DOWNGRADING YOUR PHONE TO 2.2
2.ROOTING THE PHONE
3.CUSTOM RECOVERY
4.A2SD SUPPORT (NOT MANDATORY)
5.FINALLY INSTALLING CUSTOM ROM
I WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH ALL THE PROCESS IN DETAIL
GREAT NEWS : NO NEED DOWNGRADING JUST USE THE APK IN THE LINK AND ROOTING IS DONE IN ANDROID 2.2.1 AND LATER STILL I AM KEEPING THE DOWNGRADING DETAILS IF IT DOESNT WORK FOR SOME
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
INSATALLATION PROCEDURE :
here are the procedure to install gingerbread root.
-copy all files from sd card to pc(backup)
-now format sd card fat32
-place the gingerbread apk 1.20 in sd card.
-now enable usb debugging settings-application-development -usb debugging (check the box)
-install gingerbread apk using file manger .
-press root and wait .the phone will reboot if it doesnt wait fr some time and see -if it works if not remove ur battery and reinsert ,switch on check if u have superuser icon in application.
INSTRUCTION ARE PROVIDED IN THE ABOVE LINK TOO AND IF THIS APK ROOT YOUR PHONE THEN NO NEED TO DOWNGRADE AND ROOT USING Z4ROOT AVOID BOTH THE STEPS OF DOWNGRADING AND ROOTING USING Z4ROOT PROCEED WITH INSTALLING CUSTOM RECOVERY
First remove nokia drivers or other phone drivers,nokia pc suite,microsoft visual ++ runtime environments installed in pc
Install lg pc suite http://www.multiupload.com/3YHPSRS4Z0 (NEW PHONE BUYERS WILL BE HAVING PC SUITE IN SD CARD PROVIDED BY LG)
Disable LGE VIRTUAL MODEM in device manager (RIGHT CLICK ON COMPUTER- SELECT MANAGE-DEVICE MANGER-SELECT LGE VIRTUAL MODEM-RIGHT CLICK AND DISABLE)
Download the rom file and keep it in a folder
Download kdz updater http://www.multiupload.com/OZTKT703D5
Extract the KDZ file in a folder
Install msxml
Remove sd card
Change your phone display timeout to maximum (settings-display-screen timeout 30 min) and your pc screen saver to 30 min

Click launch software update.
Wait for flashing to finish.
After the flashing is over the phone will reboot and if the phone doesnt get switch on just manually switch on the phone pressing the power button.
When the phone boots up just check the version is 2.2 then detach the cable from pc
INCASE IF FLASHING FAILS JUST TRY EMERGENCY/CS EMERGENCY(last option) AND TRY REFLASHING AGAIN
ALERT: Charge ur phone to 100 % and dont forget to disable LGE virtual modem,dont disconnect ur phone from pc until your phone boots up completely . If u want to backup contacts just enter into contacts and press menu-import export-export to sd card(u can restore ur contacts later just the same way choosing import contacts from sd card
FLASHING TIME :5 TO 10 MIN
I WONT BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE GETS BRICK WHILE THE FLASHING PROCESS AS FLASHING PROCESS HAS A HIGH RISK OF BRICKING THE PHONE,BUT IF YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY THEN EVERYTHING WOULD GO FINE.
FOR BRICKED PHONE CHECK THIS THREAD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883314 (BIG THANKS TO ERROR FOR THE GUIDE)
Download z4root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
Turn on mass storage and copy the z4root apk to the root of your sd card
Use file manager and choose the z4root apk and install.
Open z4root from applcation menu and click permanent root.
Now the phone will reboot and it will get rooted check for superuser icon in ur application menu.
IF U FIND THE SUPERUSER ICON IT MEANS YOUR PHONE HAS GOT SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED
INSTALLING ANDROID SDK IN ORDER TO USE ADB

get a2sd file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715940 from this thread
boot into recovery
select partition sd card
choose swap size 0 mb,ext partition 512mb (IF U HAVE A LARGER SPACE SD CARD MAKE EXT 1024 MB)
select sd ext2 to ext3 (STABLE TO USE EXT3 PARTITION)
select sd ext3 to ext4(be careful in choosing this option as the rom should support ext 4)
finish with the setup
mount sd card and transfer the a2sd file to sd card
unmount sd card
select install zip from sd card choose the a2sd file and flash
reboot
NOTE: USE A2SD ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE A CLASS 6 SD CARD(RECOMMENDED),U CAN USE IT IN CLASS 4 SD TOO BUT SOMETIMES IT CREATES PERFORMANCE ISSUE IF U DONT HAVE A CLASSS 6 OR HIGHER SD CARD.
HOW TO KNOW THE CLASS OF SD CARD- JUST CHECK ON THE CARD IT MUST BE PRINTED ON A CIRCLE DESIGN, IF U DONT HAVE ANYTHING WRITTEN IT MUST BE CLASS 2 | AVOID USING A2SD IF U HAVE A CLASS 2 SD CARD IT MIGHT RESULT IN BIG PERFORMANCE ISSUE
IF YOU FIND YOUR PHONE INTERNAL SPACE DECREASING IS JUST BECAUSE OF THE DALVIK CACHE.IF YOU WANT TO MOVE DALVIK CACHE TO SD CARD ,OPEN TERMINAL EMULATOR OR ADB AND TYPE
su
a2sd cachesd (move dalvik to sd card)
a2sd cachesdreset (move dalvik to sd card and clears contents of dalvik-cache)

a2sd cachepartreset (move dalvik to cache partition and clears contents of dalvik-cache)
Boot into clockwork recovery.
go to backup and restore -create a backup of your current rom (Note:If already backup has been done then avoid this step, backup created using amonra or thunderg wont support restoring using clockwork)

wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
mount and storage-format system
go to mount and storage-format sd card
advanced-partition sd card-choose 512 mb (preferable)or 1024 mb (it automatically creates ext 4 partition, class 6/4 is preferred)

don't you think we already have enough guides over here?
Kindly remove the installation of custom recovery via adb. Show it via terminal emulator. Its hassle free and from phone only.
Also attach the recovery 1.2 here. Also guide the user to unzip it.
Also attach darktremor script here.

thanks for your suggestion i will look into it as whatelse info can be provided and regarding terminal emulator it has been described by eichos quite nicely. So i will see if I want to update that orelse provide the link rather and regarding unzipping it already has been mention to extract the file to sd card
This guide is wonderful, I was just about to post on another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844483 how they should try an clean it up a lil, it is quite a mess over there. My P509 should be here on 4/20/11, cant wait to get started since I already know it is coming preloaded with 2.2.1(1st time Android user coming from 5 year stint with WinMo). Ive been researching the P509 for about 2 months(4-8 hours a night) here on the Android side of XDA, and it has been a journey, anyway your guide will definately help the average noob, in my case I really appreciate the lessons I got from browsing through the different threads and forums associated with this phone. All in all best guide Ive seen so far really sums it up.
Neat guide. I'd suggest one tiny thing. Its not really mandatory to install the adb. Mentioning that as an optional would keep things clear

I really would like to believe the above mentioned statement and that you missed my thread [HOWTO] Rooting, Installing - Android SDK, Custom Recovery, Custom ROM's dealing with the same topics except for the fact that we exchanged multiple PM's during your attempt at following the instructions given in my post.
This post feels like an abridged and in certain respects incomplete version of my above mentioned post in most places except for the a2sd part which I chose not to include as certain ROM's include a2sd by default.
Anyway, I appreciate your attempt to help out newbies.

Hey flashing d new rom, flashes new kernal also or it jst flashes a new rom ?
Sent from my LG-P500
It depends on what the developer has included - a new kernel or stock kernel.
Usually custom ROMs come with a modified kernel because there are improvements compared to the stock one.

just check the rom u r installing and it must be mention in changelog whether the devleoper has included the kernel or not but most of the time the kernel is included , if u are not satisfied with the kernel rather u can try diffrent kernels available over here in xda

sorry to say mr charlie that u have edited a lot of stuff in your post LATER and have put the information correctly in order and describing it properly ,its true that your thread helped me which is this 1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12006447&postcount=61 and the 1 u pointed out but as i said it was scattered and not properly arranged orelse i wouldnt have taken an initiative to write. no harsh feeling it was just my attempt to help others so no use promoting your thread let the newbies decide which they want to follow.
there was minor flaws in your thread which landed me in bricking my phone but but thanks to error for his guide .It was the ultimate saviour for me and for many might be.
i have just put in all information in order and removed unwanted writings.
STILL GOOD TO HEAR U LIKED MY EFFORT
well! the best explained thread for installing custom rom
very well organised,followed it and now using cm7 GREAT
thank you
This is a very useful guide for me who is very new to android. Its always important to have less complicated guide with updated methods every now and then for the newbies. Good work.
A few questions though. How important is it to remove visual C++ from my PC? I can see many versions of it installed on it by default (I never installed it myself). I am afraid removing it might mess up other programs on my PC. Also isn't the default Gingerbread app2sd enough to run apps from the sd card? What additional features does Darktremor have?

its not that important as i myself have it installed c++ 2005,2008 but somtimes it might block flashing that why its suggested to do so,as for a2sd many rom has is pre installed but some requires flashing a2sd as for fransisco tweaks it helps in sustaining battery so i am not so worried about it as mik cm7 for me seems to be stable but i am looking forward for ungaze contribution to xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042828 as using this really makes our phone perform to next level just waiting for his updates..

using the 32 bit mode is preferable just remove those as it wont hamper any performance on ur pc. it will get automaticallly updated from some software or games while installing so no worries on removing .

Does NOT work on Nook COLOR. Nook TABLET ONLY. There is a difference.
NEW SD CARD image, Version 4.7 Files cleaned up, for 16and8GB NT only, ANY version
changed hosting, spent some cash, donations appreciated...
Code:
Changelog
4.7- removed keyboard to be separate patch, removed amazon to be sideloaded.
4.6- Patch now 8gb and 16gb
4.6- restructure files again
4.5- LIVE WALLPAPER, 3d Gallery, Custom Keyboard, and changed files to one flashable small image and zip file. New instructions, also link to supplemental app package so download for root files is smaller.
4.4- Restructured files and added an instruction txt file to make the process even easier to follow.
4.3- Added a couple of extra apps to sideload folder
4.2- deleted readme file
4.1- changed sd image file to install faster, follow steps below same as before.
ROOT through SD card doesn’t require custom Drivers! You are still responsible for following root process to achieve root. Warning- Always make backups of your tablet. I am not responsible if you mess this up or brick your tablet. You do this at your own risk!
DO NOT MIRROR these files.
This process is heavily dependent on the work being done here plus additions of my own!
Thanks to:Indirect, Loglud, ChainsDD, Bauwkz, Nemith, Goncezilla, Brianf21, AdamOutler, Meghd00t, AND Albert Wertz (for his work here and building on others work)

Computer required to make SD card. No Computer Required to Use SD Card for Root and CWM depending on the variation of NT you have. There is one variation that does require a USB connection to enter CWM. You can thank barnes and noble for poor quality control.
***Disclaimer You do this at your own risk, Use your head, if you are not comfortable with this, dont do it. Rooting nulls your warranty if you try and return a rooted device, they and I will laugh at you. Unroot it before returning. This modifies the onboard Rom, So root will be on your tablet after using Root SD card.***
Windows required; mac and linux users: just extract the img file from the downloaded file and mount it to an sd card. its that simple. If you dont know how to mount an IMG file to your SD card... Google it.

FAQ
Q: When I restart I get error with Unrooter app
A: Uninstall unrooter app and just copy it over to Media folder or another SD card, It can be manually pulled out of files from PC as well, You dont have to install this now. Is only used when need to Unroot.
Q: How do I get my full size SD card back, is only 70mb?
A: Go to settings, about your nook and unmount sd cart then chose to reformat. Will restore back to full size.
Q: When I run update.zip nothing happens
A: You are not following the directions correctly. You didnt replace the files on the disc image with the new folder files. Or you are not looking for the files on the sd card like the directions say. There should be no Update.zip. Watch the video if you are having trouble. The 2 zips to install are on the external SD card so you must chose that option in CWM.
Q: Does this unlock BN partition?
A: No, but they are working on it for roms and you have to root and install CWM to install roms. but roms are not released yet.
Q: When I put the SD Card in and Turn it on it does nothing but boot.
A: Well, you were probably version 1.4.1 or had that installed before and tried to follow the instructions for 1.4.0, Try following the instructions for 1.4.1
Q: I Patched OTA Block with Titanium backup and not 9.9.9, still 1.4.*
A: Reboot and it should change.
Here is my question..
If I am looking to get another NT and I happen to get one that comes stock with 1.4.1, Will you this process and your card still work?
I was able to root at NT with 1.4.0 for my Dad, but I don't think I have quite the skills to figure out how to use a Root SD Card.
Thanks.
yes it works, and the skill is not hard. you have already done the hardest part, troubleshooting Drivers

ADB push, pull, shell commands not working
Hello Albert --
Thanks for the videos and for putting everything in one place. My problem is that ADB won't do anything except start/kill server and list devices. The drivers appear to be installed correctly and I do get this encouraging result from "adb devices":
List of devices attached
2015040142364002 devices
On the other hand, push, pull, and shell commands just sit indefinitely with no output returned. I have had no trouble installing such things as tgps_launcher, ES File Explorer, and NT Hidden Settings. The Nook displays its version as 1.4.0.
I am running Win7 64-bit. USBDEVIEW shows the following:

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

LG Optimus L5 E610/E612/E615/E617 Rooting Guide
Introduction:
Q). What is “Rooting” ?
A). “Rooting” your device means obtaining “superuser” rights and permissions to your Android's applications.
Requirements:
1). A completely charged LG Optimus L5 E610/E612/E615/E617.
2). My Root Package (Attached Below)
3). “IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk” (Attached Below)
4). LG USB Drivers
EDIT: APK FILE HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE POST. I HAVE NOT ADDED IT TO THE ROOT PACKAGE.
NOTE: Drivers are only available for "MAC OS" and "Windows"
5). This is an extra non-necessary requirement: If incase you run into trouble while rooting your android device, you can install ADB SDK from google's developer website. Hopefully, you won't need it because I have rooted my phone countless times without ADB.
Installation:
The installation part is very easy,
1). Firstly, go to “Play Store” and download and install “ASTRO FILE MANAGER”
2). Next, go to “System Settings” >> “Developer Options” >> “Enable USB Debugging”.
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
NOTE: Your mobile should not be connected to the Computer while doing this step. You can connect the phone after USB DEBUG is enabled.
3). Next, go to “System Settings” >> “Security”” >> “Enable Unknown Sources”.
This is to allow the installation of the apk given in the root package.
4). Then copy the apk “IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk” in the root package to you SDCARD. You can do this by connecting your Mobile Device in “MTP – Media Sync Transfer Mode”.
5). Now using “ASTRO FILE MANAGER” go to “My Files 2” or “Local Storage 2” and install “IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk” into your mobile.
6). Change your mobile connection mode to “Charge Only Mode”.
7). Next you need to open the app after success installation. You will see a message “Hello World”. Now you need to reboot your mobile phone, you can do this by just holding the power button for almost 15 seconds, or you could use the power menu and restart the phone.
NOTE: The app should be kept open while rebooting.
8). Next, When the phone has completely rebooted, you must just run “root.bat” if you are using “Windows” or “root.sh” if you are using “Linux” or “root-mac.sh” if you are using “MAC OS”.
9). Open up your phone after the rooting process and your will find "Superuser" app in your phone. Your phone will be completely rooted.
NOTE: There is no way to unlock the bootloader for LG Optimus L5 E-Series, and hence no custom ROM's available. If I have helped you, kindly consider thanking me. It takes 5 seconds to press the thank button, but a week or so to setup the root package and guide.
NOTE: Most phones after rooting end up with issues with the software. For this after rooting, reset your phone and the root will still be there and all further issues will be resolved.
PS. I have stopped development on LG L5 Series.
UPDATE: Most of the phones now can be rooted/unlocked/flahsed using UNLOCKROOT/UNLOCKBOOTLOADER/UNLOCKFLASH
UPDATE: THE ROOT NO LONGER WORKS ON FIRMWARE 4.X.X

When the phone boots back, will the connection mode remain as “Charge Only Mode” or do we need to make it again?
Do we need to extract the archive to any specific folder in PC?

Can we use App2SD or Lind2SD such type of applications to move the apps to SD after rooting this? Or any other tweak to be done? Which is the best app for the moving the apps to SD that works in LG L5 E615?
Thank you so much for your effort.
You are most welcome enjoy the rooted phone, a tip: install BusyBox Pro and RomToolBox Pro and Titanium Backup Pro they will help you alot
Yes you need to do Step 6.
Also, after the APK is installed and RUN, you need to keep the APP open and restart the phone, I forgot to mention that in the guide.
You can use App2SD, you can try rom toolbox pro, it has multiple apps embedded in it, even app2sd modified to work mostly.
Once the phone's connection mode is changed, it will stay the same until u change it [That is if the default settings are not changed]
It's up to u where you want to extract, but the best is to Extract the Package to the DESKTOP
NOTE: The APK file is attached in the GUIDE POST.

That means, after the APK is installed and RUN, it will show "hello world", right? At that time we need to restart the phone, correct?

Will this disable the sound? I see a video in youtube for rooting LG L5 E610/E612/E617 and some comments were there about sound issue. Like sound is working only when connected to headphone, otherwise some messed up sound only. Have you got chance to verify this?
Thanks.

Partition ur SD card using CWM, Use Link2SD to move ur apps to SD card. Before partition ur SD card, Take a backup, because it will format ur SD Card while partioning. google it... you will get step by step guide . . .

Guyz, this is a modded version of the original root for LG E-Series, it has NO:
1) Sound Issues
2) Dual Sim feature issues - Dual Sim works 100%
Also,
1) You can use LINK2SD to move apps to SDCARD
2) You can unroot your phone --- Easiest way is to use an UNROOTING APP from appstore.
OR You can just put your phone in EDM mode and get a completely stock phone back
Thanx :good:

What if Factory reset is performed after ROOTING. Will the phone goes back to a stock phone, ie will the phone get UNROOTED?
I have seen the below method in a site: How true is this?
Hard reset instructions: - When the phone is switched off, press and hold the volume down key + power key with your left hand. - When the LED on the bottom of the phone lights up, release Volume down key + power keys and press and hold the Home key (for about 2 seconds) at the same time. - The phone will turn on and perform a factory reset immediately. - Do not operate your phone for at least a minute, while the hard reset is carried out. - You will be then be able to switch your phone back on.
Difference between hard reset and EDM is simple
Hard reset can be performed if your ROM is alright and not corrupted.
EDM helps flash ROM if in case you cant boot up your phone. It's like, if your bios is itself corrupted, EDM will help restore both bios and device firmware.

One of the main reasons I wanted to get the tablet rooted is to set the 128Mb sd card as default storage and transfer my music library on there with pc companion. I've seen some apps which do this but I was looking at the thread at the bottom of the z2 general section by ale-29 and he talks about using the Samsung method of changing the info in terminal emulator, (which I tried but he does not go into enough info for me, I am fairly new to this and cannot even find the folder with adb .exe) my question is does it matter if I do it this way or use an app feature? And do I have to format the SD? Once I format the card and import a lot of music files and apps on there I do not want to face problems at a later stage.
Bonus question: Xposed Installer app, I go into framework > install
''Exposed is not compatible with SDK version 23 of your processor architecture (armeabi-v7a)
Anyone have this? Yes I used the correct apk and zip. I looked on the Xposed subforum and there are similar errors with other devices with no clear solution.
