Problem with rooted touch nook
I have a new touch nook, which I love, though it does have problems.
It's native browser is lame and as purchased android is not accessible. I tried to root my nook using http://nookdevs.com/NookTouch_Rooting and got nowhere. For some reason the process would not complete. I found http://www.the-ebook-reader.com/nook-touch-root.html and this worked nicely. It appears (to me) that this not a compete Rooting it is rather a bypass that allows use of Android (which BN doesn't allow) I have been exploring what is possible with Android and it is very exciting. I have looked at the Android Market and downloaded Opera, finding it a far better much more usable browser. This brings me to my problem. When browsing I attempted to look at a video. MISTAKE! My Nook is completely locked up, it recognizes nothing, neither the touch screen or the power button. HELP! I have no real idea where to go with this. It probably need a major reset. How is that done? Do I need to let the battery to run out? Last edited by wafercat; 08-30-2011 at 04:27 AM. |
