z4root allows you to place the NT in usb debugging mode - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

z4root allows you to put the device in usb debugging mode and appears to allow temporary root I didn't try the permenant method. This may be premature so don't get to worked up. Also If your not comfortable with ruining your device don't.

Great news my friend
That's what I supposed. By the way, with Usb Debugging mode you can use the Kndle fire method for root!

So I was messing around with different one clicks since I got ADB going on my kindle fire and I was able to Successfully use SuperOneClick 2.2 to root my kindle fire!
Sorry for the mess. Its late, and I wanted to type this up so I could crash...
To get adb going you must already have the sdk on your machine and used it.
goto: %USERPROFILE%\.android and edit the adb_usb.ini and add this to the end of the file and save:
Code:
0x1949
then go into where you have the sdk at and open the google-usb_driver folder and edit android_winusb.inf and add this to the [Google.NTx86] section and [Google.NTamd64] section:
Code:
;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01
save and close
If you have already plugged your kindle into the usb you may have to open device manager and find "Kindle" under other devices and choose the android_winusb.inf file.
Turn on Installation of apps from unknown sources: tap the top bar>choose more...(+)>device
open a command prompt and run adb kill-server then try adb devices..
you should see a device listed.

download and run SuperOneClick and choose the "root" option. let it go!

thanks for the info im going to try this method.

Beautiful news. Keep it coming

There doesn't appear to be an adb executable on the nook tablet at all.. hmm..

---

So far no luck with super oneclick

---

Well it appears that z4root doesn't even achieve a temporal root but it does allow you to access developer settings. I think the debug mode is important and should allow someone with more skill than myself the ability to root the nook. I also am not positive super one click can't work. Anyway most things I want to work great. Someone is going to crack this nut.

Considering this thing isn't even out yet officially, and all everyone has already done to it, I don't think we have anything to worry about. It'll be rooted in no time.

It's worth trying (and copying out the error messages) running zergrush.
Since you have an ADB prompt, you can probably copy files across to /data/local/ on a lot of Android devices - if I remember rightly, that directory has relaxed permissions for creating files.
Zergrush was able to root the Samsung once copied to that directory.
A discussion of zergrush is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1320350
Basically, get the zergrush tool (not the .c file but the executable), copy it to /data/local, and try a
sh zergrush
You'll probably get a bunch of messages followed by it not quite working.
If we're super lucky, it'll just work and give you a # prompt, meaning you've got root.
(and if you already had the # prompt, I'm pretty sure you had root. The non-root adb prompt is $ on most devices.)

This should the right instruction to configure ADB server:
Prerequisite: Android SDK installed.
1) Open with Notepad %USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini and add this to the end:
Code:
0x2080
2) Open the google-usb_driver subfolder in sdk folder, edit android_winusb.inf with notepad, find [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] section:
Code:
;Nook Tablet
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01
[THIS VALUES COME FROM Kindle Fire, SO CAN BE DIFFERENT!]
3) Save and Close.
4) Kill Adb: adb kill-server then adb devices and check if the nook is there.​Let me know if worked.

Damn I should have brought mine to work with me... I could have tried this for you.

Nope. That doesn't work. I also tried changing the values in the android_winusb.inf file to 2080 (instead of 1949), but had no luck. My guess is there's something we're missing in the PID section.
