So, I think my question is useful to a lot of us, even myself, so I hope someone could help me out. It goes a little something like this:
I have a Nook Tablet, wrapped under my xmas tree. Going straight to the point: what is the best way to get it rooted, under the light of this new software update? On the 25th December, should I turn it on, register it, quickly disable wifi, and start to root it, along with the titanium backup solution? Shoud this work? Or do you have another (and better) solution?
Thanks in advance to all who can help us!
Just got mine today and root couldn't have been easier using this thread -> [Update 12/10/11] Full root for Nook Tablet. [11/20/11] [Permanent root!]
I never saw anything come up on the tablet about an update. Side loaded apps work fine also, just installed all 3 angry birds.
Thanks! A bunch, really! You made my day!
Just got mine today as well. Prepare to root after reading the thread here.

Just to be safe, first thing I would do after turning on and registering is go straight to root thread and download tgps app. then disable wifi. then after rooted, enable wifi and download titanium backup, then freeze devicemanager.apk. this will block verification of software version.There are other methods of blocking OTA.
Also, there is still a question on if they are even pushing OTA, some of us never got one and have left our devices on for the past couple of days...

Do I need to download tgps app directly on the nook, can't I push it through my sd card?
Yes, comptonsoft.com/test and select the top left link.
So it looks like we can still root if ee have one sitting under the tree waiting for us huh? I had been debating between this and the acer a100 and chose this for the battery life and ease of root/use factors. Hmm. Thanks for the info

you can root anyway, just might have to sideload stock rom of 1.4.0 through sdcard restore

I just wish someone could post a really simple guide (n00b alert) on how people who don't have their NT yet could root it and bypass this software update as soon as possible...
From what I heard as with any nook device in the past....."a software update shouldn't start to update immeadtely as soon as it's turned on"
So hopefully like mentioned above register turn off wifi, root then TGPS etc. This way you avoid leaving yourself open to get hit with the update.
In theory if this is all true; we should be ok even after the weekend.
I will do mine tonight but I need to do my wife's after she opens it; I'm not letting B&N spoil the surprise

Just got confirmation that Indirect's root removes OTA automatically. So once you root with a PC, ***and install GAPPs***, it will forever be rooted unless you force sideload the update.

Assuming your modem is not also your wifi router, just unplug the modem before you register the device and if you like, you can still use wifi to load files from a local file server. No need to worry about how quickly you disable wifi if there is no line to the outside world.

The folks at liliputing have just published a fix for the 1.4.1 upgrade that will allow normal sideloading just as was possible with 1.4.0. All that is necessary is that you must have enabled sideloading when you had 1.4.
ROOTING IS NOT NECESSARY!!!
Here is the link to enable 3rd party apps in 1.4.1

Here is the link to enabling 3rd party downloads in 1.4.0 if you don't have it

Now quit yer bellyaching and get to work. Merry Christmas
Special shout out to Indirect for pointing the way to this simple work around for the rest of us.

Forgive me if I misunderstand. But that means it's still NOT possible to do it once you have 1.4.1? I'm worried because I'll be opening one tomorrow and don't know if I should even turn it on until I'm ready to root it.

Don't worry. I turned mine on for the first time yesterday. Registered and downloaded the tgps apk and did some surfing around for about 30 minutes before turning wiring off without it download the update. I was able to do a successful root and launcher install following Indirect's thread. You'll be fine as long as you can follow simple instructions.
they show you how to do it using ADB, honestly this is not easy for the average user and very inconvenient. It is easier to follow a video on reverting back to 1.4.0 and block OTA IMHO...
To give credit where it's due, the tutorials on Liliputing are based on information (and tools) gathered from Indirect and AdamOutler at xda-developers.
I just tried to flesh things out with a slightly more detailed walkthrough and photos.

What about enabling USB debugging ???

Has anyone actually USED this with ADB???
I mean, you need to have USB debugging enabled in the NT after the upgrade, and I think the upgrade resets it. It certainly is now reset in my NT, and I'm fairly sure I had it enabled before the 1.4.1 upgrade.
On the Acer A500 section of this site, someone has posted a trick to gain root if:
You have root and apply the trick.
You update to a new version that removes root.
You can then access the device via ADB.
If there's a way to turn on USB debugging in 1.4.1 (I still have command-line access via ConnectBot, just not root access), that would be nice. Or, if someone knows a non-root app that can do it, I will:
Revert to 1.4.0.
Root it.
Install the trick.
Upgrade to 1.4.1.
Enable USB debugging.
Use the trick to regain root access.

You can use NT Hidden Settings but naturally it has to be installed before the update.
I played around with 1.4.1 before reverting and adb install works. Root is the real kicker for me though because I use the host file for ad blocking and I use button savior. Both require root.

With what? Are you getting this with the rooting tools? If so, have you been able to reenable USB debugging? Because without that, the rooting tools won't work.
no, i haven't rooted mine, but i read this script works for the unrooted tab. was i mistaken?
Device Not Found Error
I was able to sideload 5 apps using the Indirect instructions. Then, I needed about two more apps and that's when I received the device not found error message when trying to sideload Launcher Pro.
I have the install third party box checked and both USB debugging boxes and nothing in the auto mount. Although, I tried it with both USB boxes checked and the auto mount checked still the same error.
I even started from scratch in DOS and got the same error.
Any suggestions?

Ok, after writing the first post, I went back to my NT and unchecked and re-checked the third party box. Then went to the Development area and unchecked the second USB debugging box and left the auto mount box unchecked.
I then went to the first USB debugging box and unchecked and re-checked the box. Then went back to DOS to load my last two apps and it worked!

Hm... I'm confused. What script, and where exactly are you getting the "Device not found" message from? On the Tablet? On the PC? What exactly are you doing that triggers the message? (i.e. "I click on the download status notification, and click the .apk that I downloaded and it pulls up a dialog that says, "OH NOES! I HATESES YOU! Device not found." ... text invented for humorous intent.)
nevermind, got it! i didn't have the right ADB drivers installed. i just followed this thread post:

This usually means that there is a missing .so file somewhere. Not sure why you would be getting it, and of course, there is no message about _WHICH_ shared library is missing.
Which apps are giving this, and at what stage? Is this the whole of the message it sends you?

Full details on the Nook Tablet in a few hours. I lost the "n" button after reverting to 1.4.0 via Adam's method, and need to retry the whole sequence again after going to a virgin B&N 1.4.0 state. If that works (ie, the "n" button works), I will publish details, but the above is correct.
EDIT #1: Here is the relevant info: http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com...ith-full-root-and-Android-Market/td-p/1249365
EDIT #2: B&N removed the above message for "links to a file that could potentially damage our customers NOOK Tablets ... linkage to direct downloads or filehosting sites." I will repost that message in a separate thread here soon.

Please forgive the simple question....been gone from the forum for a week, and came back to all this BN update crap! If I am currently unrooted and on 1.4.0, is it as simple as downloading brianf21's hidden settings app? What do I do after the update kicks in? Try to access the hidden settings app and turn usb debugging back on? Am I missing something? Thanks.
My nook updated to 1.4.1 last night, breaking my market access. I'm pretty disappointed, but I was wondering what the best step would be to take next... I'm considering either a 1.4.0 reset and just reroot + block OTA (which I neglected to do obviously) or install the new snowball mod that's popping up. Some people seem to like snowball mod, but others are complaining that it's making apps force close (which already seems to be a problem with the root in general).
I have apps and books on it already, but I'm sure I could just regrab them. I've only had the nook since christmas, and I've been on vacation most of the time. Just installed a **** ton of games and grabbed some books (nothing off BN store).
Also, would the snowball mod (which supposedly removes all B&N functionality) make the reader aspect lack at all? Does the nook app on the android marketplace work the same as the nook's default reader?
tldr: reroot or install snowball mod after nook updated to 1.4.1?
Mine did the same thing some time in the last day. I just want to get it back to 1.4.0.
I have the same problem. I rooted my tablet a couple weeks ago. The root thread said that it would stop OTA updates, and I believed it. Unfortunately, whatever they said was blocking OTA didn't work and now I have 1.41.

i got to to go back just fine after using the "magic sd" method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190
well here's what happened...
i got it back to 1.4.0 using the magic sd method, but it was still using the old honeycomb launcher from my previous root. i formatted and deregistered, then applied snowball mod. i don't like it at all... the widgets don't seem fully functional right now, and some apps don't even run when you start them up, SPECIFICALLY THE B&N APP FOR ANDROID. if you want any ereader functionality, stay away from snowball.
if anyone knows an e-reader app similar to the nook app, please post. i'm going to stick with snowball now just for functionality and testing, but i would really appreciate some kind of answer.

This worked for me, but the N button didn't work afterward so I was forced to hard reset and then everything worked fine.
I restored mine to 1.4.0 by the Nook Tablet restore file and then went to root my NK again.
Everything is fine but I can not get NookandZergy to copy files. I get failures on copying files and also denials to chmod commands. I'm still feeling that there has to be a law against B&N changing MY DEVICE! OTAO took me out.

Check to make sure you have the right drivers loaded in Windows device manager and you have the settings correct on the Nook Settings.
I just noticed that a new update to version 1.4.2 started rolling out Monday, February 20, 2012. All those with a rooted 1.4.1 NT that weren't blocking updates because "there isn't an update available now anyway" may want to look into it now.
I haven't heard any details concerning what this update fixes or adds but, if recent history is any indication, it very well may break your rooting and/or side-loading apps and who knows how long it may take our resident geniuses on here to come up with a work-around.
Be forewarned everyone.

It would be great to hear from somebody, if new Nook Tablets (16GB) are coming already with this version and if they can be rooted and reinstalled to CM7
Anyone wanting to can download it here.
The page notes "The NOOK Tablet Ver1.4.2 update provides minor system enhancements."
Edit: Also, BN_AlexG (admin at the B&N forums) said he will post the changes soon (post made 5 hours ago). Dean_Gibson also posted the changed files in the thread I linked.
Easy rooting
There should be no concerns about rooting. I was unable to upgrade from 1.4.1 rooted (w/Market, etc) to 1.4.2 (the B&N update detects an error and does not continue), but reverting to 1.4.0 stock (erase+deregister+reregister) and then applying my rooting procedure from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413734 to root and update directly to 1.4.2 and reroot, worked. Since that is more sensitive to B&N changes than most rooting methods, other rooting methods should work as well.
I dont think the root block on the new 8gb nook tablets running 1.4.2 is what actually blocks rooting. I think the new wave of tablets have some changes beyond the rom that actually controls the boot sequence and prevents rooting from SD card. Not sure though... My newest video shows that no current root methods work on the 1.4.2 8 gb nook tablets and I dont think it will be long until they apply the same changes to the next wave of manufactured 16gb tablets.
Yes, it got me just a minute ago. Disabled Android Marketplace
Yes, 1.4.2 breaks things. Android Marketplace is now disabled on my Nook Tablet With SD card boot.
It pops up:
You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?
But clicking either button returns to the home screen
Other features seem to be working.

I'm going to assume you didn't have updates blocked via indirect's method or some other method, yes?
Or did you intentionally update to see if the updates would break stuff?

I rooted my NT two days ago using Albert's SD card method (thanks!), and thought I had for sure used NT Hidden Settings to block OTA. This morning I saw that the update had been applied, and a few things on my NT are now broken.
Now I cannot access the market. I get the same error as sherwingws.
Other gapps are broken now too including Talk, Currents, and gmail.
Can I just repeat the SD root process? Or do I need to make other changes before I attempt that. What are my options at this point?
Thanks everyone!
Also wanting to confirm that 1.4.2 breaks root. Rooted my NT two weeks ago using Indirect's sd card method and could have sworn that I blocked OTA updates, but about an hour ago got the update anyway and any programs requiring root won't run. This includes Android Marketplace. ::sadface::
Gapps broken also at first, BUT...using getjar app, I re-downloaded gmail and it had no problem installing and running. So maybe all is not lost?
Edit: Sorry, I lied about gapps. Ignore that, pls.
1.42
I am also having the same problem, no market place which also makes me sad. Anyone know what I should do?
Nice, that's would be great to here this update~
Hello,
I have a rooted NT on 1.4.1 and this morning it seems the the OTA block did not function because it upgraded to 1.4.2 on it own.
It doens't seem to have affected the root so far, but I haven't explored everthing.
When I click on the NT Hidden settings OTA block i have a message stating :
Missing /system/bin/su
What can I do to block any further ota upgrades. When I rooted I am preety sure that I had made sure that OTA were blocked...
Thanks.
Nathalie
same here
I also looked at my rooted tablet today and it said the 1.4.2 OTA installed.
I had rooted from 1.4.1 using the SD card method.
I had run the OTA blocker but still got 1.4.2
It did not appear to break the root but I had limited time to check things.
Hoping to hear others comments on this issue.
And looking for a OTA block that works.
I tried titanium back-up block at one time but had issues, might just try it again.
This is bummer news. I was hoping I was done with the B&N BS.
install cm7 if you can. It works nice and unlocks the mic

I'm sticking with a rooted 1.4.0 for now. The issue is that I've read the B&N stock apps don't work on CM7. You could download the B&N app from the Market but it doens't have the same functionallity. Some who subscribe to magazines have reported they can't view their subscriptions on the B&N Market app. It seems to be an issue that depends on the magazine as some are OK and some aren't.

None of my magazines are accessible through any B&N Market app (Time, SI, GQ, etc.), but I thought rooting still allows you to access all the vanilla B&N content in addition to Market apps?
EDIT: Whoops, missed the part about CM7. Yes, a different ROM doesn't access the B&N stock apps, as I understand it.
So what should i do because, it seems that i have lost android market, it is asking for a new account. And the email and talk do not work either...
I am kinda lost here because i do not want to brick my NT...
Any suggestions?

The OTA has removed your root access. Which in turn means you can no longer use the packages installed after the root process. Basically refer back to GabrialDestruir's post where he said the 'root card' methods should still work fine. Your best bet IMO is to either install internally, or use an sdcard version of CWM recovery and if you want stock, download and install one of the stock flashable roms in the development section. Else install CM7. Or stay on 1.4.2, your call.

I'm running 1.4.2 and it's all nicely rooted, you just have to used a "Root Card" aka a card which by whatever means adds all sorts of root glory to your device. There are like two or three of these that actually exist for the Nook Tablet, choose one burn the sdcard and follow the instructions and you get a functioning stock root device.

I am trying to get mine to update to 1.4.2, so I can get the fixes from 1.4.1 mainly...and plan to use a root card after the update. But I cannot get mine to update after having done the OTA block. I manually downloaded the update and dropped it in the root of my nt, and its been hours and it hasent applies any update and still says version 9.9.9

So GabrialDestruir, I initially used Albert Wertz root method using an sd card.
Should I re-root my NT using the same method as it is right now or should I un-root it prior rooting it again.
It's not that clear for me yet how I should proceed.
Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, if your version says 9.9.9, it won't update.
