All: Holy Crap! I FINALLY got ADB to Connect!!!!!!

I didn't think it would ever be possible, but because I lost my root, I was completely STUCK in getting things to work right on my Nook Honeycomb and I HAD to find at least ONE computer that ADB would work on!

I couldn't BELIEVE what the reason was that I could NEVER, EVER get it working before... When TWC refused to believe me in March that their system was having a problem (and it WASN'T just me) and I was out of Internet service for 3 days, I installed PDANet tethering on my phone and my computers. (This was before the built in tethering was available on my phone - or before I knew it was there - whichever).

The PDANet software was the culprit and I had totally forgotten it was even there because it never showed up in my Add/Remove Programs! Turns out it installed DIFFERENT Android device drivers so every time I plugged in my Nook, Windows was Automatically using THOSE drivers.

How Did I Fix It?

Well, I certainly didn't Add/Remove because there was no uninstall option. I didn't even know it WAS the problem until I did this:

1. Made sure the Nook was plugged into the computer.
2. Went into the Device Manager and removed EVERYTHING that said "B&N" or "Nook" or "Android"
3. Removed the Android SDK packages.
4. Did a Search on My Computer for anything with "Android" or "Nook" in the filename and deleted it.
5. Start > Run > regedit
6. Clicked on: My Computer
7. Edit > Find...
8. First I did a search on "Nook" and removed every single entry that appeared.
9. Once that finally finished, I did a search on "Android" and removed every single entry that appeared.
10. Closed out of the Registry editor.
11. Removed the Nook USB cable from the computer.
12. Re-installed nookcolor-easyADB.exe
13. Rebooted the computer.
14. Plugged in the Nook after everything settled down.

THERE IT WAS!

YAHOOEY!!!
