C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb reboot

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>

I tried rebooting before trying this many times, i think all my drivers are installed, what am I doing wrong?

I had the same problem until I copied the \system folder to c:\system (ie. adb push c:\system system/) I think adb push is having a problem parsing the spaces in "Program Files (x86)".

I'm trying to use adb to install the google apps and adb keeps giving me device not found. I've run the nook usb installer you recommended for this error and it said it completed OK. I'm using a Windows Vista system. Any ideas on what else I can try?

 

[bigsmoove]

Post 106 in this thread helped me out. Try that. I am on a windows 7 64 bit laptop. I am happy now.

 

[AHfootball12]

I was able to get the difficulty in post 126 by making one alteration

My system is a 64-bit, and android sdk was installed in Programs (x86)

the space in Programs (x86) although real, caused the push command from adb to be read wrong. changing just the system folder to be in a copy of tools in just C: drive solved that problem.


Question though:

Market Apps WILL NOT DOWNLOAD. I wait literally 20minutes for them to move one percent, MAYBE. I have a Memorex TravelCard 4GB microSDHC Class 6, what is going on?


also I am running Nookie off SD card, thanks in advance!

I wound up figuring out my first problem, now I've run into another I got the google apps installed via adb, but now when I reboot I'm stuck at the "touch the android to begin" screen. I touch the android and nothing happens. The change language button at the bottom works, but that's it.

Any ideas?



EDIT : got past the adb troubles finally...

Having a bit of a problem with installing the google apps via ADB. Nookie Froyo boots fine, all seems well there. My NC is recognized and shows up as an ADB attached device, but when I try to mount /system as rw, I get this error :

error: protocol fault (no status)

Not sure what to do from here. Any ideas?

having the same problem....followed thread and didn't see if this got resolved. i'm so close...

When I had this problem, I just entered the same code again and it worked. The code seemed to just be a random thing and when I tried twice back to back, it ran fine

Technically, I--or anyone with win32diskimager or adb--could upload an image with Google Apps, adb wireless, and Angry Birds thrown in, but then you get on legally questionable ground because you're distributing non-open source content (free doesn't always equal open source). Cyanogen ROM's used to include Google apps, but they got a cease/desist from Google, so now it's a separate "optional" download. Most devs and ROM distributors have followed similar suit, and, non-conformist though I am, I don't want to make the wrong kinds of headlines for Android Central. It's pretty easy to install Google apps, and getting familiar with basic adb setup and commands could come in handy for doing other cool things down the road.

Learning (the tethered) adb would be all fine and dandy and kittens, and cotton candy, and hot chocolate down by the fire with a pretty lady IF it worked for more than half the people who try to use it. For now though, it doesn't. Using adb feel like using a ball-peen hammer when I need a t-15 torx bit. In other words, I've been trying to get my computer to see my nc with nookie on sd for the last 8 hours, with no luck. I'd feel bad saying this if I were some mountain dew infused, tattooed, pierced, and mohawked bro-ham who didn't know how to find his way around in dos, but I do know the basics of a command line, and how to add and remove arguements to get what I want if documentation is given beforehand. If adb worked, people wouldn't be complaining that they couldn't get it to work, and asking why can't someone toss up an image with wireless adb already on it. And why not? The tethered adb seems to be built in, why can't we just have the wireless version built in?

adbwireless isn't another version of adb, it's just some developer's app that he put in the market that happens to utilize adb from the sdk over a wireless connection. I'm not even sure that the 'device not found' error would be any different using that app than it would via a wired connection. It's not a whole different adb, it's just an app that uses that same adb you've already installed--only without wires.

I put a new stickied thread up with the best solutions for getting around that device not found error.

when trying to load google apps via adb i am getting the following error: failed to copy [name of apk]: read only file system. Is this referring to the system partition of my SD card? and how do i change it to a writable location?

Did you enter the command line right before that? That one mounts the SD Nookie's system partition as read/write.

Also, you don't need to enter apk's individually in this case, just push the whole system folder. If you follow the instructions from the OP to a T, you should be good to go. Let us know if you run into any more issues.

can't download the image file from OP. link is dead

 

[gregh]

how do you get nookie to see internal memory? or can i find it in astro file manager?

 

[Will Shanklin]

can't download the image file from OP. link is dead

Should be fixed now - thanks for the heads' up.

It won't. Everything you need is run off your sd.

i had some books (or my wife does) that she might wanna read on Froyo. oh well, she will have to eject and reboot i guess... thx

 

[robby.n.payne]

Had this happening to me, too. It was simply a case of the Nook falling to sleep while I was typing in the commands. Make sure it stays awake and all is good!

 

[comets8518]

I used an 8gb and used win32 to load nookie...The card now only has 117mb of free space. I've tried to reformat it but really that only erased things on it but it has kept the tiny space..what do I do and what did I do wrong

I fixed it already after downloading sdformatter rather than using windows to reformat... Still would like to know if there are any extra steps to keep some space on the SD card before adding the nookie image via win32. Should I partition? Did I miss a step or do anything wrong

 

[dirt101]

I downloaded the nookie img file but win32diskimager doesnt even see it, downloaded it to my desktop??

Edit.. I can see it when i go to my computer/desktop but when i click the button with 3 dots in diskimager its not there..

 

[c0ldburn3r]

Would love to be able to run this but no money yet... stupid IRS. So what's with not seeing a NookieFroyo update in a month? Guessing that work on cm7 is more important?

 

[puddinpaws]

Can I do this with the latest BN update: 1.1.0?
Thanks
