Root Powering on a rooted nook

[fmedges]

Hey,

After I have rooted my nook I cannot power it on using the power button if it completely turned off. The only way I can get it to start is to plug it into my computer using the usb cable. Is this normal and is there a fix for it?

Thanks

what root method are you using?

 

[fmedges]

Auto Nooter

I believe you insert the sd card into the nook while the nook is off. Then plug it into the computer. That's when the magic starts. Here are the instructions that worked great for me.

Auto-Nooter 2.12.25 (1.0.1 Only) - xda-developers

I believe you misunderstood. I have already rooted my nook and it works great except if I want to power it off completely. If I power it off completely I can not power it on again unless I plug it into my computer via the usb cable.

I did misunderstand. How long do you hold the power button? I hold mine until the screen comes on. It seems to take awhile.

I held it until I got sick of holding it and it doesn't turn on.

Did you pull the SD card?

 

[fmedges]

No, am I supposed to?

yes. NC boots off the SD card and. if you left your autonootered SD card in, it is basically rerooting itself. nothing displays on the screen. during autonooter. it works when you plug it into your computer because the autonooter script has to talk with adb on your computer to root. after autonooter does its thing, it auto rebooted and stuff shows on screen like normal. this is what you are seeing.

turn off, take it out, bootup, profit
