This seems like a good and useful thread. A teachable moment, I suspect. Hopefully it will have a happy ending. The OP was probably "wrong" to have returned his first NC, and he should absolutely not entertain any thoughts of returning the second. It's pretty clear at this point that the...

I bought a Kingmax Class 10 off of Amazon. It seems to be working flawlessly for me so far. <knock on wood> Other folks also seem to be having good luck with this brand. (As opposed to other well-respected, name-brand Class 10 cards that mysteriously refuse to work right on the NC.) Let me...

I think I already tried the script that SeanFL mentions, but I will go check out that how-to thread that DroidXcon linked. I actually made a bit more progress last night. I went back into Device Manager and found that USB Mass Storage entry that has the 2080 hardware ID. (If you delete it, and...

Okay, that seemed to have maybe worked. :) I got the new boot screen and and a bunch of new things in the "Extras" menu. I'm working through the instructions for enabling the Market, now. The Menu button in the YouTube app did not work. That's noted to be a bug in 1.0.1, but perhaps it...

Well, my SD cards arrived, so I'm about to give this a try. Wish me luck! :p After the adventure I had getting my NC back to version 1.0.0, it's funny that now the first step in the rooting process is to force the 1.1.0 update again. Oh well, it's been a learning experience. :) I'll let you...

Thanks, Tom S. At least I now know that the issue is likely with my computer, rather than with the Nook. I'll have to proceed with debugging now. One question: What version of the SDK should I have installed? I first installed the SDK back in October. It might have been version 7, or .7...

Will, thanks for all your work in this forum. Regarding your recent update to the OP, I'm finding the following step to be confusing: So, you are saying to unzip the zip in such a way that it places a directory called "system" into my existing "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" directory? (I...

Anyone? I would just like to know whether I need to root my NC in order to have any chance of getting ADB to work. (via USB)

I've got a new NC, totally stock and unrooted. Currently running 1.0.0. I tried to get ADB working on my Windows 7 (64-bit) box, using the instructions found here. I had no luck. My question is: Do I need to be rooted before I can connect in debug mode, or otherwise get ADB working? (I...

Dang, you guys could saved me about 6 hours of "research", yesterday. :p Reverend_Ink, you may be slightly confused. The "8x thing", and the "n button thing", are two separate techniques, and you need to do both for a complete reset. See this page.

Wow, a reply! :) Frankly, I was beginning to wonder if my post was even visible. (I suppose the old hands in this forum don't visit this thread very much. I should have posted my question in its own thread.) Since you're a helpless newb like myself, I'll reveal the secret no one wants you to...

I believe Monkey was answering the inquiry about ADB not connecting properly. I guess we need to make sure to include quotes, in a fast-moving thread like this.

Interesting. Over on the smartphone side of things, having a rogue app that prevents the phone from sleeping is the kiss of death for battery life. The dreaded "100% wake time". It's one of the first things to check for in the event of crappy battery performance. The NC is different in this...

I haven't tried them yet, but perhaps these are the steps you seek?

Well, I may have messed up my NC in record time. I got the NC today. I fully charged it, and ran through the initial setup. It was running 1.1.0 right out of the box. I changed the desktop wallpaper, looked at the quickstart guide, and played with the browser for a few minutes. I took a...
