Hi,
I used to root the tablet successfully. But I found I did not have the root access grant this morning after consuming the power.
So I tried to root it again, but I got remount failed when executing NookandZergy.bat.
remount failed: Operation not permitted
Is there anyone could help me?
Thanks,
Kevin
its weird that you loosed root , first check if you are still on version 1.4.0, if so then try first using the unrooting script method and then root again, if not and you got the 1.4.1 upgrade silently then you will have restore stock(Go back to 1.4.0) and start from scratch, if you previously had a titanium backup of your apps then you good if not do it now and copy your titanium backup folder in to your pc.

Thank you for your reply.
It was upgraded to 1.4.1 automatically.
Do you know how to go back to 1.4.0?
And how to prevent it upgrading?
Thanks,
Kevin

Yes use this method to go back to stock, after that you probably want to use this to get 1.4.1 with root and android market (You must go back to stock to use this method is why i put it as second option) then use this method to block OTA, Indirect just released an update! as some users have reported that they are getting the upgrade with the 999 method. If you want to be even safer then freeze device manager but you will have issues with some B&N bloat apps i think, you can unfreeze anytime.
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.
Other gapps are broken now too including Talk, Currents, and gmail.
Can I just follow the steps to make an SD card and re-apply root, or do I need to do a wipe or reset first?
What are my options?
Thanks everyone!
I had this happen to me on 1.4.0 I just started all over and MADE sure I seen the 9.9.9
So I would just re-flash my SD-card with CWM, boot into CWM, wipe, and start over again? I'm fine with starting over, I just want to make sure I don't mess anything up during the reset process!

FWIW, If you re-root with Albert's SD Card Method (4.50), blocking future ota updates is a simple one click process (it's now an option in NT Settings). Or, just sideload the latest NT Settings (released on 2/15) and you're good to go.

back up and running
Ok, so I wiped and re-rooted and now everything's just about back to normal. I've tried the built-in OTA block a few times, but my version number still says 1.4.2. Maybe it's like the unknown sources setting and I have to reboot or wait awhile...
I'll just make sure to make some backups this time. Good news is albert's method still works on 1.4.2, but he knew that already I guess.
I'll be back if anything goes wrong, but thanks everyone!
I purposefully updated mine to 1.4.2 (from 1.4.1 rooted) and was able to use brianf21's bootable root sd card successfully without having to wipe anything.
1.4.2 is completely rootable, I was able to use CWM with a flash zip to get it all on there. I'm hoping to release my work this weekend, I'm just waiting for some files that should allow it to work for 8GB devices too.

He method and files till work for 1.4.2? Great, I just bought my NT the other day.
I just got my new NT in the mail. Should I use the sd card method over the system it has, or should I go back to 1.4.0 and root that. My wifes NT is 9.9.9 and works well. Also, I don't have a sd card yet, is there anyway to root my new tablet without going to the store? (looks like the tablet shipped with 1.4.1)
Thanks
You could just order an n2a card and be done with it. No rooting and you'll have an Android tablet when the n2a card arrives.

Or you could avoid n2a and all of their schemes. Everything they offer is available for free and they are truly assholes for selling it. I don't give a **** it you are "just selling the sdcard" They are a **** company making profit from the folks that put in all the effort.
I rooted my wife's Nook and my phone, so I should be able to complete root without buying someone's card, just wondering if I should go back to 1.4.0 or root 1.4.1.

Rooting via the SD card methods available works on any firmware released. Rooting 1.4.2 gives you the latest bug fixes from B&N though.

I'd just use one of the root cards and root 1.4.2
Updated to 1.4.2 lost my market
I rooted my nt when it had 1.4.1 on it, then two day's ago the update came out, I never saw 9.9.9 on my os info, My nook is still rooted I think anyway, no market and gmail. But I can still install apk's from my sd card.
What should I do to get my market working? And also make sure I can block OTA updates? Thank You.

I personally think blocking OTAs is a little silly considering how easy this device is becoming to root. However to get Market back and stuff all you have to do is take one of the sd root methods and use that, this will restore the files to /system that got removed by the OTA
Checkit
OTA block by Indirect's 9.9.9 Titanium Patch and CWM recovery flash
I believe that 9.9.9 patch prevents the file from every being downloaded and I believe the custom recovery prevents the File from ever installing. Any OTA that comes down from Barnes and Noble Requires STOCK recovery to install.
I also prove my Root SD cards will Root the 1.4.2 updated 16gb Nook Tablet!

when powering back on nook it says reset to factory
{So I have used your method before but now when I go to reboot after making a root card all it says is would you like to restore to factory settings, I have also tired using the usb to boot up when the others failed. Now I am stuck with a stock nook with 1.4.2. Am I missing something?}
So after downloading 4.6 everything worked perfect, and got the 9.9.9
Thanks for the hard work.
Im getting the problem that a lot of people have gotten, that the android market is no longer working (try to start it; You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?), probably due to an auto update. I had rolled back to 1.4.1 to root (which i later learned was unecessary), so the device updated itself a few weeks after my root. I used albert's method on a 4gb microSD.
Do I need to reroot the device? my concern is, will I lose all my apps, and all the settings of those apps? what all is lost / how should I go about fixing this?
anyone else have or know how to fix this issue?
go back to 1.4.0 and use albert's root sdcard method.
Will this cause it to try to update to 1.4.2 again in the future? Or will this fix it because the root was meant for blocking updates on 1.4.0?
I'll lose all my apps correct?

It all depends which root method you use to root but what you can do is always once rooted apply the the block separately by using titanium backup (indirect's method) that way you won't get the update, so far that is the most reliable way.

My bad if this is a dumb question, but where can i find documentation on the indirect method? Instructions files etc.. Ready to try this one

In the development section.
How do i roll back to 1.4.0 with out any back updates and fastboot is not working with the adb fix?
I believe I can restore to 1.4.0 the same way I did back when I went from 1.4.1 to 1.4.0
I never turned off updates and am wondering if I will have any problems going from 1.4.2 since I already did this once in the past. I dont think there will be but im just checking. I just want to be able to side-load and use amazon etc. If there are any easier ways I would appreciate letting me know.
Thank you
f you have Clockworkmod (CWM) is easier as you could just download any of the 1.4.0 ROM's posted in development section here and flash it in CWM.

Thanks, I actually used the directions to create a root rd, and unzipped from there. Worked great and i'm in business.
I've been rooted since December 2011 on the Nook Tablet....I rooted when I was on 1.4.0 and now have the blocked OTAs and tablet shows 9.9.9 as version. I did the root option where I could keep the tablet feel, but still have access to the B+N items that were on stock. I am thinking that I want to go up to CM10/Jelly Bean on it. What is the simplest way. I wouldn't mind internally, as I know you can create the bootable SD card, but was checking for a different way. I've seen a bunch of options, but all from 1.4.2 or 1.4.3 I have a linux machine at home, but can find a Windows one for this process. Was going to PM Adam Outler, but his profile says not to...lol. I've rooted a 5-6 phones/tabs, so I'm not a complete noob, but would just like the easiest path.
Use this method.

Btw it doesn't matter what Rom you're on when your flashing.

I figured that would be the best way...just wanted to see if there was anything else kicking around...didn't want to butcher the process.
