Alright, you need to be able to have the drivers setup and everything correctly because I'm not offering support on this. Sorry but I have alot of stuff to maintain so I can't always help. I'll try but I would prefer the community support each other too. (you also need tgps launcher already installed so if you havent rooted, I dont think you will be able to do this.)
Anyway: you need to get the .apk file you want to install and just put it into the directory and name it A.apk b.apk c.apk d.apk and so on. I will have it install up to 26 apps (all the way up to z) then you can remove and start over.

I will probably update it eventually but right now it's supposed to be very basic.
Manual instructions:
All you need to do is use adb install appname.apk

Basically, for those a little familar with ADB, they didn't block adb install, so you should be able to adb install path\to\app.apk and it will load without an issue. If your not familiar with adb, using xIndirect's method is probably for the best for you.
so the android central sideload wonder machine should work.
In addition, they did not actually close the hole, they just covered it up better. If you sideload anycut, in theory, you can allow any other install. I am going to try it, and let you all know how it goes.

They would have to maintain two versions of their software if they blocked adb install. How are they going to test the apps going into their market.

I have AnyCut installed and created a shortcut to app settings. I reset the "Install from unknown sources" to be checked and then tried installing an app from the Amazon Market. When the package manager ran I got the new will not install dialog. Dang! So I launched the app settings again and noticed that the unknown sources box was unchecked. I checked it again, closed, and relaunched the settings window. The option is unchecked again. Grr....
Installing apps from the Android Market works just fine though, as it does not require the package installer to install an app.
Am I understanding this correctly? So even with un-rooted NT that has updated to 1.41 we can use this method to sideload? I so hope I am understanding this correctly. If so thank you so very much!!!!! If not thanks anyway for helping me learn!!!!!
I have been unable to clear and reset my drivers for the NOOK Tablet.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled but I must not have the right drivers.\
I'm running Win 7 64bit.
Any link would be appreciated.

BUMP, as I was wondering this myself.
I understand how to use adb, but how do I get the Nook Tablet with 1.4.1 in debugging mode? I can't install the tgps launcher apk because it says it is not a Nook Store app. My Nook was previously 1.4.0 and rooted with android market and lots of apps installed. I have no problem with the new side loading method, but I need to figure out how to re-enter USB debugging mode.
Ugh, my Nook just updated to the dreaded 1.4.1 version. I tried the script from XDA and ran it with the command prompt, but it says "error no decide found", even though my Nook Tablet is plugged into my Windows XP Machine. Any ideas why this is happening?
I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Also, I got the script from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1407023 . I run the Sideload.bat file which usually doesn't run until an Android device has been found, and in MS Dos it says: C:\Sideload>adb wait-for-device . And yet when if I were to install an apk residing in the Sideload folder via Command Prompt, it says no device found.

Scrap that. I thought I had to re-download the apk file. I realized that it is installed as a device app. Once I entered debugging mode I was able to sideload apps onto 1.4.1 using the instructions.
Now I would love to get Android Market working again...

If you rooted 1.4.0, you would have used tgps launcher downloaded over the air. Once you run (install) the tgps launcher, it remains in your android apps installed on the Nook tablet after the 1.4.1 is installed by B&N. Just unplug your USB cable, run tgps launcher, go into te development settings, enable two debugging options, disable auto mount. Then when you plug in USB it should pop up a notification that you are in debugging mode.
Do "adb devices" from a command prompt. If your device is found, you can adb install apps.
so this won't work for unrooted? got my mom this for xmas, we had 1.4.0 and started sideloading apps...then outta nowhere today, the OTA came through and now i can't do anything. when i try this method, it tells me device not found. it doesn't show up under adb devices, either.

Looks like your only option will be to manually downgrade to 1.4.0 and load all the apps you want. You can also prevent OTA update to 1.4.1. Search the forums for the instructions. That sucks.
Alternatively, wait and see if a 1.4.1 root comes out.

Thanks, this works great. I know there is a way to root and install google apps on 1.4.1 now, but I'm fine with this since I don't have to go through the process of losing and then restoring all the apps and books I have loaded.
Just like another person mentioned, all one has to do is have NT Hidden Settings or tgps_launcher installed prior to the upgrade to be able to enable USB debugging.

OK, I screwed the pooch on this one and if I'm correct, I'll have to undo everything and start over. I used DeanGibson's directions for rooting to 1.4.1. I could never get sideloading to work, so in a moment of dumb, I uninstalled NThiddensettings so I could reinstall a newer version. When I did that, I guess I lost USB debugging and enabled automount. So now, all Windows will do is add Nook Tablet as a device. If I'm correct, since I can't sideload, the only thing I can do to get it back USB debugging is undo everything and start over. Of course, I could wait until NThiddensettings is on Android Market, but that will probably never happen.
I feel for ya Tel.
I may find myself in your shoes before all is said & done.

I'm was blocked from sideloading anything since I couldn't enable USB debugging. I have just fixed it though. I looked in my Apps and saw an app titled AppMenu. That let me get to my development settings and turn off auto mount and enable usb debugging. I still can't get NThiddensettings to let me install from unknown sources like it should, but at least I can sideload now.
I'm glad you got it working, although downloading from a link on a web page does not require side loading, as does downloading from another local computer using a usb connection.

Oh, I can download all I want, but without being able to enable usb debugging and disabling automount, I couldn't install anything. In fact, I'm still being blocked from installing any apps directly, they have to be installed via adb or Sideload Wonder Machine. I can live without that now that I've gotten usb debugging enabled again.
I guess I'm missing something. Which program enables the ability to install an apk file? I thought an apk file was self installing.

I got a new Nook Tablet and it came with 1.4.1 installed, so I downloaded the acclaim_update.zip and put it on a microSD card and successfully downgraded to 1.4.0 but had to do a factory reset and opted out of the "out of box experience".
The problem seems to be that I have a Windows 7 64 bit system and this prevents me from "upgrading" the drivers on my system so that I can root the tablet.
Would it be easier to use the script for rooting the tablet using a Linux system?
I am going to see if I can find that script online in case that is the only way to go.
I do not have a 32 bit Windows system.
thanks
I have Windows 7 x64 bits and i had no problems at all even having my LG GT 540 drivers installed, i have windows update disabled "never check for updates" and before install the drivers u need to run the runmefirst.bat if you are having conflict with drivers there is a step by step guide try that and report back. Also do not run as administrator the .bat scripts. In my FAQ (link in my signature) there are other links to troubleshoot drivers if needed.

I can't offer you much help, but I rooted my NT (1.4.0 out of the box) twice on two different machines running Win7 x64 without issue...

Thanks for the reply. The problem is that the moment I connect to wifi on the NT, it will be upgraded to 1.4.1, right? Can I download the TGPS_Launcher.apk on a pc and copy the file to MicroSD card and install from there? I am unable to install apk's at the moment since no installer is on the NT and I think I can only install from Market. I don't know how to get around this problem.

Thanks for this tip. I will look for the second script. It is likely I used the wrong one. If I do not see it, I will look for a separate Zergrush. I know I have one file or directory by that name with the drivers I downloaded.

You must install the drivers in order to root. LordGibson is right use the runmefirst.bat from Nook&Zergy.zip i too had issues with the runmefirst.bat from the drivers.zip

I downloaded the other Zergy and drivers files and had the same problems. I think the problem is the Windows 7 system and I could not get the "new" drivers to install. I will check your FAQ and if that does not work, I will try to get it rooted via Linux, but that approach seems not so easy.
Also, do I need to make a new Google account in order to download an app to the tablet? I tried it and it just sends the app to my phone.

Windows 7 64-bit here as well. The drivers are a pain but keep trying with usbdeviewer helping you and you will get it.
Also I have rooted three times and each time I had the tablet hooked to WIFI for extended periods and never once did it show any signs of upgrading to 1.4.1

for sideload apps like tgps_launcher.apk you dont need a google account, but for download from android market you will need one after you root.
Check out Albert's videos:

I watched the video but was unable to install tgps_launcher.apk due to a parsing error. I do not think this is going to work.
I have never registered this device, I was afraid that if I did that, the device would revert to 1.4.1.
Linux also did not get this thing rooted with the NARS script. Although the Linux netbook mounts the tablet and I can see the files on it, the NARS script can't find the device.
thanks
P.S. I was able to install another package called AppMenu and that allowed me to enable USB debugging. This might be helpful.

Thanks for all the help. The video showed me what (I think) I might have done wrong. I did not think it was still necessary to reboot the machine after removing a driver. That and the link the video gives for an AppMenu really helped.
I am not certain whether all went well because the window closed abruptly after I selected removal of game apps during the installation process. I only wanted to remove the games and leave everything else. Going to reboot the NT. At least if something went wrong, I know I can restart.

You can uninstall the games later manually no need to run the script again, just make sure it rooted your device and you be good to go, also do not forget to block OTA. Indirect has another post for that specifically.

I did not full debloat because I thought I would lose all access to B&N. It happens that when I try to access B&N's Nook apps, to look for more apps, I get errors. This is probably not a big deal since I can probably get everything B&N has, from Android Market.
I did not know which launcher to install since I am unfamiliar with them. I just went with the "Go" launcher because it was first on the list; it's okay I am not voting for politicians, just a launcher for my tablet.
BTW, the first thing I did after restarting the tablet was to use Titanium Backup, then I replaced the backup files with three I had downloaded a few days ago, then I did a "restore" to those files. I checked my device information and confirmed that all went well.
I think this is why I can't access more Nook apps from B&N.
I recently bought a Nook Tablet running software version 1.4.0, and tried to root it. I was using Indirect's method, and ran into a problem. When I downloaded the USB debugging app on the nook, I was unable to run it. I tried to install the drivers and to then run the app, but that didn't help, either. I don't know if the driver installer was done incorrectly, or if there is a problem with the USB debugging app, but I haven't been able to successfully root.
Is it that you can't install the USB debugging app? Not sure what you mean by "unable to run." Don't worry, we'll get you rooted in no time!
I downloaded the USB debugging app using the built in web browser on the Nook, and when I try to run the file, I get an error that says "Unable to install: This application was not able to install onto your device. Please "Archive" and then "Unarchive" the application to try again." The downloaded file does not appear in the downloads section of the file browser, and I'm not quite sure what it means by Archive.
Haven't had this issue. My biggest issue rooting on Ubuntu Oneiric was getting ADB to read my NT.

Hmm, check again to make sure you're still on software version number 1.4.0. If you are and can't get the TGPS Launcher app to install, you could use others methods to root. You'd have to use an SD card. Here are two methods:

I used the first SD Card method to successfully root cuttincow's tablet. It now works as a normal tablet, not locked down and restricted. I expect to see many more posts from cuttincows as he explores the depths of android and tries to install new ROMs. May we welcome him to the community with open arms!
In reading carrett's root, unlock and install guide as well as thecubed's Project FreeGee thread, it's clear that adb needs to be installed on my phone. Unless it's hidden somewhere, I believe that I need to install it as well as install adb drivers on my laptop. As far as the phone goes, Google play has wifi apps, but I can't find a tethered app to install. In addition, after a couple hours of searching, I don't find adb software or drivers to install on my laptop.
I'd prefer to not brick my phone on 1st attempt, so I pose the following questions:
1) Am I completely confusing things or am I correct in thinking that I need to explicity install adb both on my phone and laptop
2) assuming that some sort of adb install must happen, where do I find the installation files?
I think that I've finally found the answers to my questions: install the ADT bundle which includes adb. I'm downloading and installing it as I write this.
If a mod wants to delete this thread, please do.

Uh, ADB support is built into Android.
You need to have USB Debugging turned on for some stuff to work though. In Settings>Developer Options>(check USB debugging box).
Then ADB SHOULD be installed with the LG drivers (if not I think the FreeGee download has it built in).
And if it is not, you can always install the Android SDK (HERE).
I know it is in there.
(Sorry, my memory is fuzzy, I've had ADB on my laptop for a few years now... not sure where I got it)

I chose extreme debloat and could not see any app succesfully removed.
I ended up using a debloater for the G900F via recovery, but it does not remove the Tmo bloat.
Anyway, I thank you for sharing your work.

The tool will not show successfully removed apps only failed apps.
Glad you found another method. I am just trying to understand why it works for me but not for you and another user so that I can either modify the tool or provide additional instructions.

I tried quite a few times. Installed TWRP 2.8.6.0.. I re-downloaded drivers. I did a system restore on my windows 7 64 PC to make sure no other programs were conflicting.
Might give it a try again later on. I really want to get rid of Tmobiles useless app.
Edit:
Reinstalled drivers once more, used a different USB port, and selected minimal debloating (since I already removed most of the stuff I did not want)
and it finally worked. No more Tmobile branded bloat on my GS5.
Thank you again.

I suspected that was the case so I have modified the tool to not run unless the device is recognized by the PC.
I can use "adb devices" to get adb to recognize my device when it's booted normally and usb debugging is checked (also checked always allow authorization), but when it booted to TWRP 2.8.6.0 and Mount system adb cannot recognize it ("adb devices" returns empty list) and thus the script cannot run (stops at the "waiting for device" part) . Any help?
Im having an issue with MTP not installing on Windows 7, tried many fixes and nothing is working. Really want to use this thing! Has anyone had this issue and know a possible fix?

Only thing that comes to mind are samsung drivers, try install or reinstall.
Edit: played around with it....connect your phone while in recovery to your PC and run Windows Update. It should give you the option of installing Android ADB Driver.

What I did is I disabled MTP in TWRP.
You disabled in TWRP and windows installed MTP? Because I tried that and windows won't even attempt to install MTP and phone doesn't get recognized.

I tried Samsung drivers first, then used Google drivers. Still after a coulple of seconds I would always get an error 10 saying "This device could not start".
Tried downloading MTP drivers from microsoft somewhere, and that did not work either so finally decided to disable MTP on TWRP.
But, the ABD device was still recognized after disabling ATP.

I got nothing... here's crossing my fingers that someone is working on a root method, or else I will have to dump 5.1.1 and go with 5.0. :good:
