NT Hidden Settings Experience? - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Hi,
Was interested in "Sideloading without rooting or wiping?" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010668 so tried to follow the instructions by TheGamingKiwi
"I found out a way to sideload apps on Nook Tablet running 1.4.3!
Step 1: Search crunchyroll.com. (All this is done on the Nook, not on PC). It is the first link, click on it
Step 2: Click on the picture/ link Get it on Google play
Step 3: You will be asked to set up or login with a google play account (gmail account). One you have done this and agreed to everything, you will be on the crunchyroll app page.
Step 4: In the top right corner click the search icon and search nt hidden settings. It will be the first app on the list that shows up. Click on it and download it.
Step 5: Once it has been download and installed, click on the nook home button and hit search, and search nt hidden settings. Click on the app then once it has been opened click Hacks. If you are asked to give permission to allow something, click allow.
Step 6: When you are in the Hack settings, click on Unknown Sources Hack. Something should then pop up which says something like NT Hidden Settings has been granted superuser permissions."
Like almightySR, I am unsure as to which picture was clicked on in step 2.
I decided to skip to Step 5: and search "nt hidden settings" but got nothing. Maybe I am using the wrong keywords? so decided to use them in forum search but also got nothing. http://forum.xda-developers.com/search/thread/2010668?query="Nook Tablet" "Hidden Settings"
Then Googled and found NT Hidden Settings by brianf21 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brianf21.nthiddensettings&hl=en "This utility allows you access to the Nook Tablet's hidden settings, install software from unknown sources, block over the air updates, and run adb as the root user."
The reviews are 3.2 of 223 total and wide spread with
5 109
4 10
3 10
2 8
1 86
So either it works or not. Started reading the comments and Philly Lim gave the reason "Works Perfectly It works and I was able to install apks! PS for the people who can't get this to work and get a message about not finding something, you can only use this app if you have root access"
Googled and found "How To Root Nook Tablet 1.4.3 (IN 10 MINUTES OR LESS) NOT NOOK COLOR [Update Video]" by vides4u https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBvGLHUFOgg and others.
Does anyone know how to sideload without root?
Thanks

[Q] can someone please clarify steps to get Android Market on my G Tablet for dummies

just bought a G Tablet and it only has Google Market which is some Hadongo bs or something.. It's brand new out the box.
anyways, can someone please help me get android market on it.
so here is the steps I saw on XDA(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861044) to get android market:
0) Backup in Clockwork Mod. Please. I don't want you mad at me if this messes up your ROM.
1) Get the paid version of Root Explorer installed on your G Tablet. Apparently the free version lacks a text editor. If you only have the free version, the text editing step will need to be done in a separate program, or you will need to copy build.prop to your desktop, edit it there, and copy it back. Or use adb to push an edited build.prop to your tablet. Just buy Root Explorer though, it makes this very easy.
2) Browse in Root Explorer to /system. Then click on Mount R/W.
3) Long click on build.prop and click on Open In Text Editor.
4) Scroll down to the line ro.build.fingerprint=....
You are going to replace that with the following text:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys
5) Now you are going to click on Save and Exit. And then remount the /system directory as R/O.
6) Now you are going to re-do the original Market Fix. I used the simple version illustrated here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-ny...eature=related First, make sure Market is running, and browse around in it for a few seconds. If you don't do this, there may be no cache to clear and for some reason the market fix may not work. Then, go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Running and scroll down to Market. Then hit Clear Cache, followed by Force Stop **DO NOT CLEAR DATA FOR MARKET, JUST CACHE**. Then go back, scroll down to Google Services Framework, hit Clear Data, then Force Stop.
7) Now try starting Market again and you get the famous Market Error. Now shut down the G Tablet, then turned it back on. Wait for Wifi to connect to your network before doing anything! I forgot to do that on the first try, so I rebooted again, waited for wifi to connect this time.
8) Now restart Market again. It seems to have sourced the fingerprint from build.prop somewhere in steps 6-7. Searches for previously missing apps now show up. Voila! A truly full market!
the first thing I don't understand is Long click on build.prop and click on Open In Text Editor.
When I try to edit build.prop it says "YOUR DEVICE MUST BE ROOTED"
the second thing: Now you are going to re-do the original Market Fix. I used the simple version illustrated here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA&feature=related
The youtube video was removed....
if someone can please fix the steps for dummies i would really appreciate it!
thank you guys so much!

[Q] List of rules to install generic .APK file?

Ok, I've side-loaded a generic .APK file, into a sub-dir within the 1.0-GB
area. (Previously, I likewise side-loaded a movie file into this same area, and it plays great.)
As I read other posts asking this same type of question about procedures/rules
for installing side-loaded apps, I'm not yet clear on a few things, such as
whether I need to be 'rooted' to install them and whether I first need to
purchase/install separate SD-card and load such generic apps there instead.
My current state is:
(1) My Nook tablet is still at 1.4.0 (i.e. I have NOT yet received the 1.4.1
update that blocks installation of such APKs.)
(2) My NT is NOT yet rooted.
When I view/select the side-loaded generic app, see a red question-mark on the file, and tappin it, I get msg:
"This nook cannot read this file. It may be an unsupported format."
So, what should I try next, to allow this file-type of .APK to be
a supported type?
Is this your first non-B&N apk? If so, I believe you have to download and install at least one apk directly through the Tablet's browser to get the option changed to allow sideloaded apks.

Well, it WAS my first non-B/N app.
So, I installed an app, one named 'Skitch', from the BN app store.
But, that makes no difference at all...my original side-loaded APK file
still gives the same error msg that I mentioned in the base post.
So, your 'belief' seems to be incorrect.
Anyone else know what to do, to install side-loaded .APK files?
[This issue could end up being one more nail in the coffin...if I don't resolve this,
I'll have to strongly consider returning this device, and waiting for a 'true' Android
tablet this spring, with newer, more main-stream code (e.g. 'Ice Cream Sandwich')
in it.]
Hi cookdav,
CapsLockKey is correct about needing to download an apk through the browser in order to do what you would like.
I noticed this yesterday after playing with my NT for the first time. When you download an apk through the browser you will see a notification in the lower left hand corner that it is complete. You have to launch the apk from this notification in order for the file to be correctly recognized.
When I went to my downloaded files and tried clicking the apk file I got the same message you are seeing. It seems to me that the BN overlay does not natively recognize the apk file format, but the code responsible for the notifications does.
You should then be able to follow the directions for enabling ADB. After that you can use adb to install any apk file you would like.
I hope this helps and that it was clear.

What does installing an app from the B&N app store have to do with side loading an app from the browser or email? Have you bothered to read the "how to side load apps thread?"
How you can fix your face to say "your 'belief' seems to be incorrect." when you aren't following instructions is funny as hell.

The operative word there is 'seems'.
And, yes, I did read that thread, but obviously now, I missed something.
I guess I missed the distinction, between installing an app via 'shop'
and installing an app via the browser. So, shoot me.
[That said, I'm still a bit confused. But, reading-between-the-lines has always
been problematic for some of us newbies.
I'll go back and re-read everything 3 times again,
and I'm sure that these distinctions will eventually become clear to me.]
Thanks for clarifying.
Ok, did one thru the browser, but still no-go...
Ok. I installed 'golauncher', via the browser.
Sigh. But, once again, after that, when I go back and try to install
the earlier-mentioned .APK, it still says what it has been saying all along.
Hmm..a new possibility has occurred to me: Maybe I'm so immersed in
Linux and Windows-XP and Win-7, that that has made me too stupid
to follow directions and learn this new 'tablet-way' of doing things.
[Whoever said "The devil is in the details" must have been an Android user.]
Clearly, I've STILL missed something, after re-reading. Anyone got
any more ideas/guesses of what I might still be missing?
"this nook cannot read this file" although I do sideload apks
I got a similar problem with Nook Tablet wit 1.4.0
I have managed to download an app so that my settings have been changed to accept those apps
If i go to another app market, I do install apps.
But for some reason I am limited (Amazon Apps refuses to work because I am not in the US and others have limitations which I dont understand, as on a chinese android pc they work, however)
SO I d like to install from sd card
And i get this message "this nook cannot read this file"
If I mail to gmail, in nook mail I cant open attachment (nor any others)
Any workaround?
Thanks
Agnes

I don't think you can install apk's through the native file browser. You will need a different file browser to install your apk's.
if you are downloading directly from the internet browser, then the installation process is the same as installing the tgps launcher or in your case go launcher.
However, if you are sideloading your apk's through something like dropbox or an sd card, you will need a file browser.
I recommend Root Explorer (paid), but if you need a free one you can download es file explorer.
es file explorer can be found in the must have apps thread located in the themes and apps section of the NT forums. Just go to that page on your NT internet browser and click the download link. You will be redirected to a download page, and there should be something that says "remove this frame". Tap on that and your download should start.
hope this helps

Once rooted... where is the settings for "Uknown Sources"

I am already rooted and everything is fine. Have the Android Market and so forth already running. What I am trying to figure out is where in settings was the options to use Unknown Sources and Debugging. Can't seem to find it anywhere. Is it not accessible even after rooted? Is there an app that lets you get into those options?
Also on another note. Where does anything downloaded for an app store or other files go to. On my Galaxy Tab there is a folder on the root SD called downloads. There is nothing like that here on the Nook. I downloaded Getjar but didn't install it. Can't seem to find where the apk is now to install it.
Go to your Applications and click on tgps_launcher and hit Start.
Everything you want is there.
I must be completely dense today. What is tgps_launcher?
It pretty much brings up the hidden development settings.
When you rooted, you put it on your NT to enable USB debugging, unknown sources, etc.
I don't see anything called that at all. No app at least that I can see. You sure it is on my Nook now. I used the below way to root on my mac...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19592179&postcount=1
and gave me the following apps...
1) Go Launcher Ex (Rooted App Launch/Desktop)
2) Market Place (The Android "App Store")
3) Button Savior (adds tiny button on right of screen for nagivation home/back etc)
4) Home Catcher (makes 2 clicks of the Nook N bring up the new Launcher)
5) Nook Color App Menu (allows you to install sideloaded apps to the Nook home screen/Library)
6) Dolphin HD Browser (Replacement web browser)
Go to Indirect's thread on rooting and DL the tgps_launcher.apk there.
Then hit the "n" button, touch search, type in "tgps", you should be able to see it and launch it right out of the search results. Once it has launched, touch "start" and you will be at the menu you want.
ETA: Here is a link to Indirect's thread. Find this bit
Code:
here is an app to pull up usb debugging menu
http://li362-167.members.linode.com/...s_launcher.apk
and DL that file right onto your Nook.
Look for Appmenu - this will take you to menu settings where you'll see development, etc.
- AppMenu
- Open Application Settings
- check Unknown Sources
- Development - check USB Debugging, etc

Thanks, i will grab that.

Is Appmenu an actual app in the app store or something within settings?

I don't have mine in front of me at the moment, but it's not on the SDCard. It's under My Files/Downloads somewhere in the B&N data folders in the actual tablet storage. Just don't remember where exactly off the top of my head without looking at it.
If you have a launcher installed look to see if you already have it, otherwise:

Thanks everyone for your responses and help. Greatly appreciated.
Now that I got a chance to look, actual location for downloads is media/My Files/My Downloads in the root directory of the tablet.

nook tablet factory reset without uninstalling keyboards

Just thought i would post this as an ohh sh!t save because i did this. I had originally rooted using windows with indirects script for permanent root, i then blocked otas and proceeded to install adw. I was stoked! I then installed an ics keyboard, here inlies the following problem, i was able to get it working properly and a few days passed and snowball mod was released. Naturally i wanted to update and get rid of the nook tablet home page and what not so i factory reset forgetting to uninstall the ics keyboard and i just disabled it and re enable dthe original nook android 2.3.4 keyboard in the keyboard debug settings mode. In the event that you do this mistakenly you will not have access to a keyboard thereforenyou will need to pay attention closely to the following!
Step one bypass nook registration you can find this on albertwertz youtube channel.
Step two find a wireless network with no password as all of yiurs will be erased and you can not enter a new one with a keyboard. A phine using wifi tether works perfect.
Step three create a folder on your desktop computer with word document containing a direct link to download any side laoded app.
Step four move this folder to your sd card
Step five open the sd card by choosing the option on the task bar of your nook tablet
Step 6 find the folder open it click the link
Step 7 download the file when prompted choose PACKAGE INSTALLER choose menu and go to accessability. It will say there are no apps blah blah ingnore this and move passed the prompt by choosing cancel.
step 8 choose keyboard and select android keyboard.
You will now have your factory keyboard again.

Require assistance please. Zte Avid Plus Z828 FRP 'd

So, I got a Zte Avid Plus z828 (t mobile no sim card) that has frp so basically i cant get pass the google account verification screen. I have found a way to get into the settings and enable developer mode without no otg method or apk methods. I simply used the text to speech method where i open the source for that and then open up google and search settings allowing me to access the settings and enable developer mode via build version.
Now here's the problem I can click backup and reset but when i actually click RESET PHONE nothing happens. I can keep on clicking it and nothing will happen it's a button thats just there. I want to enable USB debugging with hopes of using adb shell and wiping the phone that way but i can't even access the developer settings. I click on the developer settings and nothing happens its the same situation with the RESET PHONE option. Why is this occurring? Anyone have any advice as to how i can get around this? I've tried downloading apks that would open the developer settings but it opens for less then a second then instantly closes. I'm new here so i'm not even sure if this is where i was supposed to even post this, sorry if it wasn't the correct place to post this. if you need me to elaborate anymore just ask, i'll gladly do it.
Hello Friend!! I also have the same problem with this phone. but I have not been able to enter the menu. as you could enter the menu of the z828? Thank you

Yeah I'll make a short guide I can try to post screenshots later but for now i'll try my best to guide you to the point where I am.
1. Go through the setup until you get to the google verifying part.
2. Open up your keyboard and hold down the comma to access the gear which will allow you to get into the google keyboard settings.
3. Once you're at the google keyboard settings go to Text Correction.
4. Then go to Personal Dictionary and select English (US) or whatever you have there.
5. Then click on the search button and just type random letters and hit search is what i did to get to this next step.
6.. You should be able to type in the letter "g" and you should see something called google voice typing
7. click that and go to Text-to-speech.
8. Then click the blue gear next to google text to speech
9. click install voice data
10. you should see 3 dots on the top right hand corner open that and click open source licenses
11. once you're at this part just simply hold a line down as if you were going to copy it.
12. you should see about 4 options on what you want to do with that line like copy or share it search it on the web.
13. what you want to do is click search, its the fourth option.
14. delete whatever is on the search and type in settings the option to access the settings should pop up on the bottom as a suggestion.
15. click that and now you're at the settings.
From here on i assume you know how to access the about phone and turn on developer settings but this is the problem you can turn it on but you cant access the developer menu you can just click it and nothing will happen. same for trying to reset the phone from the back up and reset menu.
if anybody knows what the case may be please let me know i'm constantly trying to find the solution to this whenever i have the free time but so far no solution has came up. i am able to download apks by instead of typing in settings on the google search i type in file manager and simply transfer over the apk through my pc onto the phone. that i can do without usb debugging becasue my pc picks the phone up as a portable device.
I fixed the zte avid plus z828 frp problem!
Dont mean to double post but after a week of trial and error I solved the problem. I bypassed the FRP and Hard resetted the phone. Phone's working 100% now. I can probably post a guide somewhere I guess if highly requested.
Feel free to close the thread as the problem is solved

Hello yerhope!
from your last report on zte z828 frp bypass, i understood that you finally fix the , not able to access the Developer option nor access the factory reset. I am very keen to know how you did it.
I am a victim of this same circumstance.
guide please?
cant click reset my self
Hey, I would like to highly request the tutorial....
Furthermore, I'd like to say I've poured over these sort of sites, rephrased my questions, etcetc all trying to get the same things accomplished, getting past the google password, and yet you with your quick clearly stated actually step by step explanation were the one to get me the farthest in fixing this problem. :highfive:

He said he resolved problem but put no feedback so others can benefit, I really doubt he resolved the problem of bypassing or unlocking or rooting his phone, he probably slammed it on the floor and resolved the problem that way. We don't need people like that here. I will try it when I get a zte z828 from someone that has the same problem, I will post feedback if I am successful or not, so by July 15, 2016, I should now if it is possible.

He did get in. I did get in myself but when i tap factory reset nothing happen.
(Security patched)
Maybe he did resolve it like i did.
Root and remove it with gcpro
Thats what i did.
On some ZTE phones (has worked on 1 but not another for me), you can use the emergency dialer to dial:
*983*987#
This will lead you directly into factory reset options (if it works).

Okay, I spent more time than i care to admit on getting through this frp. I have z3x and a few other utilities and i use them when i can, but i don't honestly lay hands on ZTE very often. Anyway, you do NOT need GC or any other box--
so following the last poster's steps (credit to yerhope):
9. click install voice data
10. you should see 3 dots on the top right hand corner open that and click open source licenses
11. once you're at this part just simply hold a line down as if you were going to copy it.
12. you should see about 4 options on what you want to do with that line like copy or share it search it on the web.
13. what you want to do is click search, its the fourth option.
this is where he leaves off... and where i pick up.
14. Download "quickshortcut maker" apk to your computer (or copy from apk extractor on a phone or any other method..
15. Select z828 in my computer and copy quickshortcut maker to downloads
16. On the phone, after clicking the search button, clear the browser box and type in "file manager" - it will show up just below. select it
17. Go to downloads in the file manager and select quickshortcut maker
18. install the app, blah blah blah
19. Once in the app, search "google account" you will have several pop up
20. Select the one that says "email and password" when you do, it will ask for a password to an account you aren't sure of.
21. click menu on top right - Browser sign in is the option - click it
22. Sign in to your email and account
23. Once you are signed in, press and hold power for a soft reset (restart)
24. Proceed as usual to wifi page and BOOM!
25. Profit. not much though, cuz its still a ZTE.

Yerhopes solution worked for my zte lever
Follow yerhopes solution after step 15 while in settings go to backup and reset make sure back up data is off then factory reset erase Everything phone will reboot old owners info gone no need to download anything worked for 2 Zte levers i bought from ebay.
Bought a EE Jay Tablet (also a ZTE tablet) that had FRP enabled, easiest way I could do it was
1. connect to wifi, get to the previous account required screen.
2. open the keyboard and hold the @ symbol and open the keyboard settings.
3. top right corner press the 3 dots and choose help and type in apps in the search box.
4. access the app settings screen via the link from the help section then goto all and launch settings app
5. enable unknown sources in security and return to app settings screen and launch chrome this time or any browser.
6. goto http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Apps and download this file com.sika524.android.quickshortcut.apk
7. you may get a download notification that the file has finished if not go back again to the app settings screen and all again and launch downloads app
8. you will now see the file download open it and install and then open the app
9. in the quick shortcut app search for google account and choose email and password and select try
10. now the google accounts manager has launched, in the top right corner press the 3 dots and choose browser sign-in
11. sign in with a google account and once done it will close and go back to the quick shortcut maker.
12. you still won't have access yet but all I done was reboot the device and continued the setup, this time there was no errors or required sign in and had full access.

I used this method, personally, for zte Avid I believe. Yerhope's solution works for some firmwares prior to firmware i was on. i'm sorry, i do not recall that at this moment as it was some time ago. if Yerhope's solution is not effective for you, then progresss to my steps that pick up right where previous solution left off. so once again, YES, this worked on my device, did not test for others. my understanding is kingo can acquire root access in a special way as well that will allow you to adb clear frp. looking for commands? i do not have them sorry.
