(using hotspot sheild) oh, i am from singapore and my provider is singtel |
Changing the SIM:
My code string for Germany was
INSERT INTO carriers (name, numeric, mcc, mnc, apn, current) VALUES ('t-mobile', '26201', '262', '01', 'smartsites.t-mobile', 1);
Instead of "t-mobile" you can use whatever you want, for example "SingTel".
Instead of "26201" it's either "52501" for you for GSM 900 or "52502" for GSM 1800.
Accordingly "262" is "525". And "01" is "01" or "02".
Instead of "smartsites.t-mobile" it's "internet" for you.
The procedure itself perfectly is described here:
http://nookdevs.com/3G#Using_International_SIM_Card
In brief:
1.) Download the ADB (Android) SDK here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2.) Find your nook's IP as described here:
http://nookdevs.com/Tips_and_tricks#...27s_IP_address
3.) Open a command line (command.exe in Windows) from within ADB's folder "tools".
4.) Enter "adb connect NOOK_IP:5555" (NOOK_IP being the IP you've found under 2.)).
5.) Enter "adb shell". A "#" should appear.
6.) Enter "sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db".
7.) Enter the code I've described above (INSERT INTO.........).
8.) Enter "UPDATE carriers SET current = '' WHERE name = 'ATT';"
9.) Replace the AT&T SIM with your own.
Remark1: Enter the codes within "..." (for example "adb shell") without the " at the beginning and end of the code.
Remark2: '' within the string of code is 2 times ' and not 1 times " (i.e. '' WHERE name = 'ATT'. This simply means, instead of ATT there's no data).
Now you can browse the B&N bookstore (and the web via the webbrowser you've got by softrooting). You can add books from B&N's bookstore to your wishlist and can purchase via PC. You can't buy on nook, because B&N is checking IPs.
If you want to buy directly on nook, you have to install VPN on your nook. I'm not using this feature yet myself, some have reported minor problems. But I can explain the necessary steps, if needed.
