Probably a dumb newbie question but the repartitioning process described in another thread seems pretty involved.
Can I take advantage of the BN repartitioning offer by reverting to stock and then re-rooting with one of Albert's SD card image files after BN does its thing or are the image files only compatible with the standard out of the box partitioning?
Well I plan on finding out this question this weekend. I have already used the unrooter once and re-rooted on v1.42. I plan on unrooting again and taking it in to have it partitioned unless the devs get a hold of the BN way of partitioning then I will do it myself.
Let me know how that works out

There is way to repartition by yourself. It's in general section, first page. gee

Modifications to the boot files to make it possible for these hacks to work on the 8gb Nook Tablet were made by Meghd00t at this thread
Notes: If you have an 8gb NT, Do not use the recovery flasher app to flash CWM and replace stock recovery, just work off of the cwm on the bootable SD card. There is currently not an easy way to revert back to stock recovery for the 8gb NT.

Card Type ?
Hello
First off of course is to thank the folks who make these options available to us !!! I can stress enough how much I appreciate this material.
The question: Locally atm I can get some 8 GB microsd cards in the class 4 (cheaper) or 10 variants. For making the root card, and also for making the R3 card is a class 4 card fine ? Or is a class 10 a far better option ?
I've done considerable reading and some vid watching so far and am gathering my materials to begin work on my NT
Very exciting stuff !

I recommend a Class 4 SanDisk card. SanDisk seems to be a brand that is pretty reliable in the NT.
As for the classes, a Class 4 should suit you just fine. All that a class number tells the consumer is the sequential read/write speeds (copying and moving files for example.)
The SD card attribute that we NT users should be looking at is the 4IN random read/write speeds. The faster this is, the smoother a ROM running from that SD card should be.
If you're more interested, you can test the speeds of your SD cards by using a PC program called CrystalDiskMark.
B&N Repartition ?
Hiya - another Q :
Considering running in to B&N real quick and doing their repartition before I get started. If I read correctly I should still be able to use the created microsd card to root etc. In particular was planning to do the R3 card at the moment.
Is that a worthwhile move ? Does the root open up all that protected storage anyways making the B&N repartition a moot point ? If I wasnt rooting I'd do this anyways. Does the repartition change what rooting options are available to me from others ? For example I see a number of options where they state that it works only for the 16 GB version and not the 8 GB version. If I do this repartition is my nook now considered in the 8 GB class when considering root options ? Or will it be considered in the 16 GB class always even with the B&N reparition ?
TY for all replies !

Okay, so a couple of things to say here.
Your 16GB NT will always have the 16GB rooting/custom ROM options, changing the partitions will not reduce your options (unless you manage to mess up the partitions somehow).
Whether you do a manually repartition and choose how much storage you want allocated OR you take your NT into Barnes and Noble, you will still be able to run the R3 card.
Barnes and Noble's repartition only frees up half of the internal data space which turns out to be a little less than 8GB I believe. A simple root will NOT open up any more storage space than before unless you repartition.
If you'd like to do the manual repartition, I can go find the link for you. If you're not comfortable doing that, you'd best head over to the local B&N and have them do it for you.
Error While Making Backup
UPDATE:
I did get it to backup. I vaguely remembered reading somewhere about swapping to a different card for backup for size. So I tried another card and the backup completed. So looks like I was just running into a wall of not enough room on the card. For the life of me I just couldnt find that post or info again after that, lol. Yes I am a noob and thanks for bearing with me.
I've also successfully loaded / changed to a bunch of ROM's so far as well. Checked out CM7b, the default 999 on card, and then finally went back and did a basic root on my v143 backed up rom. I've stopped at the rooted v143 for tonight because of time and to ease myself into the changes.
So I'm mostly set so far
2 Questions:
1) The video states that NT Hidden Settings needs to be updated in order to gain the OTA blocker. However when I visit google play it doesnt show "update" as an option. And I dont see the OTA entries in settings that the video says I should see. I saw in another thread that someone noted this as well, but didnt see a reply.
2) On the video I see the version as CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4
In the R3 I created from the files current as of yesterday I see it as v5.0.2.8
Does that mean the version on my R3 is older than the one used in the video ? Or am I just misinterpreting the version numbers.
---------------------------------
Original Posting below:
Was near B&N today and as per the previous post decided to just let them do partition and reinstall to save myself that step. And to have the option to backup my nook to stock with the already set repartition in case I want to go back in the future. They did the repartition and reset. She went through the update to v1.4.3 before I realized she was at it. However I read that this works with 1.4.3 anyways so didnt fret too much. So upon leaving and back at home the nook was all repartition and 'hunky dorey'
Used an 8 GB Scan Disk class 10 MicroSD card (was on sale and almost as much as a 4).
Followed the instructions and apparently successfully made the R3 Card.
Booted up into CWM fine without needing the power cord.
Menu'ed to 'backup and restore', then to 'backup', device goes through a lot of the process before eventually giving the error:
Error while making a backup image of /data!
Update : Figured it out - see above

Starting Point
I have searched through the threads on this and in Development. Does the starting point for using this ROM need to be stock B&N or can I start from CM7 and flash this and have it replace the current ROM? One method is shorter than the other but if it doesn't get me to where I want to end up there is no point. Thanks (be semi gentle if I missed a previous reference that answers my question)

What exactly do you want to do?
I am currently running CM7 and want to switch to Alberts v4.7 ROM. I vacilate - primarily because of Netflix and other videos I download and watch - between the two options. I used his v4.6 prior to CM7 and didn't keep a backup so the process is more involved now.

As long as both ROMs can use the same kernel, you can flash over your current ROM to switch to the new one. Just be sure to use the proper ClockWork Mod flashing instructions.

1. I think OTA blocking was added to the app later on.
2. It could be that you're using an earlier version of CWM. I've used the first version ever released on my NT16 and haven't had any trouble.

Sir
Is there a way to gain access to the files, need to build my own sd cards as I have lost everything.
Hello, I would like to use some android apps on my nook 15 GB running 1.4.2 without rooting permenently. I need to make a SD card so I can revert back to my regular nook operating system. At age 70 the more I read the more confused I get, there is just too much information out there. Is there a simple list of instructions with no exotic extras suggested and starting with the 1.4.2 OS?
Hello, hope this vid helps (better than trying to read instructions).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBjxZxHoUsY
Thanks for the link but...
I viewed the video but it seems to be about restoring to the original software. I guess I did not explain well that I have an unaltered nook tablet and have done nothing yet. I need first to create a sd card to insert and boot to. My understanding is that I then turn off, remove the card and reboot to access the B&N software with no permanent change to my nook. Is that possible with 1.4.2?
Perfectly possible and exactly what you should do. I'll find a link in a bit, busy at the moment.
If you run CM7 from an SD card you can do a power on start to CM7 and reboot back to native nook. Booting to the SD version does nothing to the internals of the nook. The following address should get you to the development thread for CM7 alpha final. Follow the instructions for the SD version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826
I suggest a Sandisk Class 4 micro SD card. Depending on how much material you intend to download, get an appropriate size card. I am using an 8 GB and I have allocated all the leftover space to the last partition.
Directions are easy. Download the file and unzip to get the image. Use the win32diskimager program to write the image to the SD. CAUTION here be sure it is the SD that you write the image to. Google Mini Partition Wizard Home Edition and download the home edition noted as freeware to reallocate the SD space. That is simple as well. Go to the bottom partition and move the slider to the right and then save.
If you have specific questions please post and someone will respond.

Generally, if you follow the steps above (short of installing the Asian apps), you'll be fine. Easy 1/2 hour to 1 hour to go through the downloading of apps, OS, Root image, etc. to having a bootable Nook that's running off the MicroSD card.
Keep in mind that ROOTing the Nook (easy, doesn't hurt) is needed to prevent B&N from disabling your external MicroSD card CM7 OS boot in the future. (You can skip ROOTing if you want to tempt fate later on however....)
Keep in mind that Sandisk MicroSD cards are generally recommended for their stability, speed, and trouble free use. You can use other brands, but if you encounter an error with your new OS, use a Sandisk card instead.

This is only really necessary if you think B&N will push some update that will affect the current method used to bypass the bootloader.
This would imply a level of intelligence I don't think them capable of.

Hi, Aquarian1. I'm old, too.
Did you get it figured out? It really is fairly straightforward once you understand what each basic step is doing. You can practice repeatedly until you get comfortable without doing any harm or damage.
Let us know how it's going. The folks here are awesome. We'll get you there!
I am new at rooting, this is the first device I have tried to root. I followed the thread for a triple boot CM7 , CM9 and CM10 (also stock OS) from Malloneem. I decided to only flash CM7 and CM10 to NT 1.4.3. Everything worked great, except during the initial setup of both CM7 and CM10 it will not recognize my WiFi. I have tried twice, after first time I wiped NT and reformatted the sd card and started from scratch. same result both times.
I read through the replies and noticed that someone else had the same problem. the response said to wipe the cache and it should fix the dalvik. I wiped both the cache then tried and then wiped the dalvik and had the same results. With the CM10 it says "turning on wifi" and stays there.
I am a new member to xda so I cannot post a reply to the original thread.
Any help would be much appreciated.
If I cannot get this to work is there another method where you can use CM10 and stock OS? (something that is extreamly easy to follow)

You can use this:
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...-1-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet-0110/
Write the image file to an SD card and you'll be good to go. You can use a repartitioning software to expand the partitions on your SD if you want. Use the instructions on the link I provided.
The SD card image will contain CM10.1 4.1.2. If you want to use a different ROM you can download the SDC version of any ROM ( has to be SDC!), place the zip on your SD card or internal storage. Boot into SDC recovery and installed the zip file. You'll need the GAPPS zip also (which has to be SDC also.)
Thank you for the help. My appologies for the redundant question but when I flash this ROM I will be able to bounce between CM10 and the stock B& N OS correct?

Yes. Because CM 10 will be on your SD card. Stock will be on your internal. If your internal partitions or anything is messed up ( maybe the reason you can't boot stock) you can tell from CM.

Well is there any reason why you would like triple boot? You need a fairly good size SD card if you want three systems. I just provided the simplest way to run cm on the nook. Write the image to your SD card and it will make it boot able. If you want to triple boot then setup your SD card partitions like you had before, but you only need to install the zips as alt boots.
Again, you probably don't need triple boot. Cm10+ has everything you'll need.

No, I dont need the triple boot. Being a newbie I may have misread something (probably the case) but the link you gave me directed me to partition the sd card. it was this portion that was not clear to me. I was referencing the directions for partitioning on the triple boot thread as a comparison. The site you gave me said to partition the card but gave reference as to how big to make each partition. I don't need the triple boot.
My kid uses the NT to help read (read to me, etc...) I wanted something to get more of a tablet feel while keeping the stock system as well.

On the iamafanof site you can scroll down there will be an SDC image. There is a difference between the image and the zips. All you need to do is download the SDC image, write it go your SD card using an file writer ( win32 disk writer will do) and your SD card will be ready to boot. Put it in your nook and and it will boot cyanoboot and should automatically do a SDC boot. It takes a little bit for the first boot to start ( usually 2 or 3 minutes)
Once you get your nook to boot cm I can tell you how to expand your SD partitions to hold more apps.
If you still have problems with WiFi it may be a different problem ( shouldn't happen).

You have 4 partitions on your SD card: boot, system, data, sdcard. Your boot partition holds the files the boot CM. This is where recovery, mlo, uboot, etc is. System holds files essential for the ROM to work.
The only two you need to worry about are data and SD. Your data partitions holds apps. That is when you download an app the files in the apk file are put there. This would be like your internal storage for any phone or tablet. SD card is like an external SD card for your phone or tablet. Its where extra data files, photos, music etc go.
Depending on what size of SD card you have determines how big you can expand your data or SD partition.
Using a partitioning software ( like GParted) you can change the partitions and expand them to the side you want. I have a 16 GB SD card. So I expanded my data partition to 4 GB, and the rest went to SD card. Its okay to delete data or SD partition to expand it, but don't delete boot or system because you'll have to reformat the card and write the image file to the card again ( and ain't nobody got time for that.)

Now, I was wondering how to upgrade this version of Android to say, Jellybean or Ice Cream Sandwich. Could someone explain these instructions to me clearly? I really want to do it, but I need clear instructions, as I am not that high-tech.
I also want a way in which it will not affect my barnes and nobles apps and data.

Well you don't just "upgrade" to Jelly Bean. The method you used is rather old. CM10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2 is currently the newest version available. Since you're new I suggest using a SDC image http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/cyanogenmod/image/cm_acclaim_10.1_21APR2013_HD_SDC_IMG.7z
All you need to do is write the image file to an SD card and you're good to go. Use win32diskimager to write the image file to your SD card.
The root I did boots from the internal memory...so I do not have to unroot my Nook and do your method? I can just burn the image into my sd and insert it in?

Yes. Everything runs off the SD card and not your eMMC (internal memory). If you want to unroot your tablet the easiest thing to do would be write this image file to an SD card and plug it into your nook.
http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/make-unbrick-repartition-image/
It's a repart image that will restore stock 1.4.2 rom.
As for the CM10.1 SDC ROM when you write it to your SD card it creates the partitions for you instead of you making them with a partitioning software. You may expand your DATA1 and SDCARD partitions MiniTool Partition Wizard (you'll see what I'm talking about once you write the image file.)
So I just plug in my sd card and the nook unroots? Is there anything I have to do or click on the nook?
After I unroot, won't I get over the air update to 1.4.3? So is this new root you are telling me to do going to work for 1.4.3?
So lets pretend I unrooted my nook and burned the image into my sd card for the new root. I put in the sd card in my nook, and turn it on, and then its rooted just like that?
Did you do this to your nook? What are the chances of bricking my nook? Also I have an 8gb nook tablet...this root you are telling me to do works for it right?
Sorry for all the questions but I want to take extra precautions not to brick my nook. And thank you so much for your help!

So lets pretend I unrooted my nook and burned the image into my sd card for the new root. I put in the sd card in my nook, and turn it on, and then its rooted just like that?
Did you do this to your nook? What are the chances of bricking my nook? Also I have an 8gb nook tablet...this root you are telling me to do works for it right?
Sorry for all the questions but I want to take extra precautions not to brick my nook. And thank you so much for your help!

You can keep your internal rooted stock rom if you want, I was just suggesting you could use the repart image which deletes your partition and rewrites stock 1.4.2 right out of the box. This blocks over the air updates, so your nook won't update to 1.4.3 (you don't need it anyways because it only blocked rooting).
When you put the repart image SD card into your NT it will show a screen saying "Installing New Software" then a green checkmark will appear. Take your SD card out and it will start to Install New Software. Once it's done you'll have a fresh out of the box Nook! (kinda)
Rooting is simply the process of giving a device "administrator privileges" or root access to change all files. The new ROMs come pre-rooted so you don't need to root your device at all. When using the SDC CM10.1 image it will create the 4 partitions on the SD card for you (and you expand them later for more app space.)
When you write the CM10.1 image file to your SD card then put it in your nook. It will boot Cyanoboot and will start "SDC Boot" which will boot your ROM. There is a 0.01 % of you bricking your device during this process, so you are safe.

So just to make sure, it is ok for me not to unroot and turn my nook into stock 1.4.2? It will work on 1.4.3? And if I do not unroot, will this use up alot of battery when I put in the Jellybean ROM via SD Card? Can the Nook Tablet be able to handle Jellybean well?
Also,the SD card I used to root my nook into the old Gingerbread was a "Patriot 32gb Class 4". I already fixed up the SD card so it is back to 32gb again...can I use this type of SD card for the Jellybean root? I do not have a Sandisk.
The repart image takes your NT back to stock 1.4.2, from which you should be able to upgrade to stock 1.4.3.
To create a CM10.x SDcard see http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/cm10-1-jellybean-android-4-2-2-for-nook-tablet-0218/ and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098419.
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005633 for extensive discussion of comparative performance (for the purpose running ROM) of SD cards of various makes/models.
Thank You!

Well you don't just "upgrade" to Jelly Bean. The method you used is rather old. CM10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2 is currently the newest version available. Since you're new I suggest using a SDC image
All you need to do is write the image file to an SD card and you're good to go. Use win32diskimager to write the image file to your SD card.

This is exactly what I needed. I tried looking around and either a link didn't work or I couldn't get something else to work. Now I just have to figure out how to open up some space on it. Seems to only allow me to use a quarter of it. More searching tomorrow! Thank you to the OP for posting this also! Quick question, if I remove the SD card will that remove cm10.1 from the nook? Not sure if it's on just the SD or internal. Oh and one more question how do I access the Barnes and Noble part now? Mainly just the book part. If I can't I can always covert to .mobi and continue to use my kindle app. Thanks again. I foresee me having lot's of fun with this.

If you remove the sd card you'll boot into the BN system again and get full access to everything there.
To get more storage space on the card you can use for example Mini Tool Partition software (that's the one I use, but I know there are other free ones available as well), and change the storage partition to use up all the unallocated memory on the card.
