i followed intructions on how to get 1.4.1 to with sd card to flash back to 1.4.0 but no luck...it just starts as normal, i have done the power on off 8 times a few times redownloaded zip file...no idea....i did call barns and noble and complained they said version 1.4.2 is coming out next week to allow side loading once again, thanks in advance with anyone that can help with this problem
thats interesting. if 1.4.2 comes out and allows sideloading then you should be able to root if you get 1.4.2, unless something changes again. Anxious to find out!
the technical support lady from bn said she has had 100s of calls about this issue, ps thanks for that video on rooting worked awesome, i procrastinated on blocking updates...ill make sure that i do this next time around, really like adw

Are you asking how to install iOS on your Nook Tablet or how to get the Android Market on an iOS device?
waiting for update on 1.4.1 for nt (zipfile that works to put back 1.4.0) but also want to get android on the ipad but there arent any forums that i have found about the ipad2jailbreak with os5.0.1

Chances of getting Android on an iPad2 are just about nil. Completely different (and closed) hardware architecture - I don't see how anyone could get Android on it.
that sucks, i really like android, thanks for information

I've heard of people getting android on jailbroken ios devices, but this would be the wrong place to look for help with that. Ios is closed, but with android being open it is not unlike trying to develop a rom for an android device (like a Nook Tablet, for example).
SD card method fails after 1.4.1
Using the acclaim_update.zip method, after the initial screen it looks like the NT tries to start the factory restore procedure then errors out with this message:
"Please restart your device and try again."
I fear I am borked. Has anyone else seen this version of fail?
I am also unable to get adam's sd method to work. My device is at 1.4.1. i performed a factory reset and the factory reset shows 1.4.1! The method I performed for factory reset was to hold the power and home button repeat and release on the 9th time. It did show the factory reset screen with the yellow progress bar. Reran setup and it still showed 1.4.1. it didn't load 1.4.1 it is already set as the factory software level jnow since I got the update. I cant return this device as I dont have a reciept. So here I sit. i have not seen any updates from Adam.
i am going to try a different Micro SD card
let me know if it works!
This method works I video taped a walk through and I will post it. I installed 1.4.1 and reverted back to 1.4.0 without a hitch. Video soon
Update... by soon i mean like within the next 10 hours... it is a 50 minute video that I have to upload in HD... 4 gigs
No luck with aclaim_update.zip on 16GB PNY sd card
Hi All:
I am using 16 GB class 10 pny micro sdhc card. I was able to root
the system and get some apps sideloaded with rev 1.4.0 of the
software.
Then I got burned by the 1.4.1 update and tried the following methods to get
back to 1.4.0:
1) shut off nook (at 1.4.1) and pull the sd card. Insert card into laptop
copied zip file to root of drive. Put card back in nook tablet powered
on. FAIL system booted normally.
2) Formatted sd card in nook. Shut off nook. loaded zip file as in 1.
Powered on system. FAIL system booted normally.
3) formatted sd card on computer, installed zip file (and tested it) on the
sd card. Put card in nook, powred on. FAIL booted normally.
Then I tried all three after unregistering the nook.
Then I tried all three after hard resetting the nook (factory firmware
reload to 1.4.1).
I also attached the nook to the computer directory and put the zip file
at the root of the internal (MyNook E) drive (similar to the method for
manually installing 1.4.1 given on the barnes and noble site). As of now
it has not loaded.
No joy at all. Can people who have had this work tell me what cards they are
using. Maybe there is something there (maybe I need just a micro sd card and
not a micro sdhc card??)
Thank for any info people can provide. I would post the question to the
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190 thread, but
I am not allowed to since I am a new user 8-(.

Yup that's the procedure I did (in 3) using a 4096 block size for the card.
I am re-downloading the file now in case the verify I did was lying somehow
and the file wasn't valid. Since it's fat32, what settings for permissions
(read only, archive ...) did you have on the file.

Too bad this "update" effecively killed two POC projects I was doing for work

the difference between my situation and yours is I unroot and install patch 1.4.1 on a stock device and then remove it with the sdcard recovery. I wonder if something doesnt work right if it patches over a root? I cant verify this...

The first time I tried steps 1,2 and 3it was on a still rooted nook. So I
had my side loaded apps and could play streaming radio and access the
emergency response guide and ssh to other hosts.
But I also tried step 3 on an unregistered nook before finally
breaking down and doing a complete factory reset (hold down
power and N ...) and using step 3 on it.
So I claim we at this point have the same environment.
I wonder if it could be something with the boot roms? Maybe some roms
look for the zip and some don't? I don't know how to verify that though.
The model number on my nook is BNTV250 and there is an IC number of
8961A-BNTV250A I think. Kind of difficult to read it.

Just post an NZB file here.
Just wanted to stop and say 'Thanks Albert!' for taking the time to do the video and list out all the steps. I had a few hiccups along the way but like with anything in life, persistence paid off.
My specific issues were not realizing the actual theory of what was going on here. I had to download the google apps .zip file extra and boot back into CWM to install it. I didn't understand that part at first. I wasn't prepared to actually keep an extra sd on hand for the occasional install/backup but I had a 2gb sitting around which worked out perfectly.
Again, thanks and all is working good as of right now! I also missed the part, if it was in the video and I passed over it, about installing the Nook Recovery.apk to install CWM. I blame lack of sleep.
if you added the sideloadable app packet, in there is an app called recovery flasher. this app allows you to install CWM on the tablet itself
I need to figure this out or I'm going back to BN stock firmware. This seems like the best option before i go back stock.
I wanna say I figured it out and you helped me in the other thread. I love the one you have background says tabletroms. Only issue as of now is when you bootup i get an error. The application Nook Unroot (process com.indirect.nook.unroot) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Not sure what thats about though.

I also tried without the cable using the power + n button and no matter how long I hold them, nothing happens. If I take the SD card out, it boots as normal.
I am also running 1.4.2. I just purchased the Nook yesterday. Could that have something to do with it?
I have gone through the entire process of making the R3 card twice and I get the same result. The nook will not boot up with this SD card in it.
is this an 8gb or 16gb nook tablet? it will not work on the 8gb
Mr. Wertz,
Please allow me a few moments to sing your praises (and those for everyone else involved in the creation of your wonderful 3R SD card!!)
I have no programming skills to speak of. Originally rooting my 16gb v.1.4.1 Nook Tablet was a long and tedious process using ADB, and drivers, and my computer, and several different files...
However, I eventually got it done, installed TB-Pro, homecatcher, Go-Launcher, and aproximately 177 other apps, books, and games... I was happy and content.
THEN Evil B&N pushed 1.4.2, killed my root and basically made my tablet non-functional (at least in the ways I was using it!) Lucky thing I had a recent TB backup of all the apps, but no way to restore them...
While searching XDA for a 1.4.2 root I came across your 3R SD card post... My time and frustration were worth more to me than the very modest price you were quoting, so I took that leap of faith and purchased the 3R along with an extra blank card...
Imagine my surprise to find the envelope laying on my doorstep the next morning when I returned home from breakfast with my wife!!! Your later email explained that you just happened to be in town on vacation, and had hand delivered it to my door! It being St. Paddy's day, I felt like I'd caught me a Leprechaun!
I watched your 3R instructional video at least 3 times, and read all the 3R related posts here and on TR Forums then Monday I rooted it, and then restored it back to out of the box factory condition! Following along with your video as I went it was easy as pie and worked flawlessly 1st time without a hitch!!
Tuesday I took it back to B&N and had them repartition it to give me 8gb of the 16gb internal storage! (Ye-Haw!!)
They had to look up the process in their manuals because that store had never done it before! LOL!! It took them longer to repartition the storage than all the time I spent Monday and today using your card and customizing it just the way I wanted it.
I had never bought apps from the B&N store, only books, so this morning (again following along with your video) I Put my trusty 3R back in and installed CM7 rooted, CWM (OTA now Fully Blocked) verified v.9.9.9 and got TB-pro back up and batch recovered all 179 apps, books, games, etc... I also downloaded the Android readers for both the Nook and the Kindle so I lost nothing and have a better tablet than ever before!!!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for making what looked like a probable nightmare into an easy and FUN experience!
Now if you only had a magic SD Card that would push a fully rooted ICS Kernel and Rom into my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S Captivate... LOL!
Many Regards!

R3 Card in my situation
Hi Albert
RESOLVED!! Got N 4.6 root installed! Moving on to R3 card...but, take a look at my post on N 4.6 root thread, problems with supplemental apparently download. One question...all seems to be working (root confirmed using S EXPLORER, BUT device still reads BN 1.4.2 installed. Afraid of OTA but will probably upgrade to CM7 before one hits, I hope. Is this correct?
Thanks Albert
NEVER MIND BELOW.
So, I never got around to installing CM7 as we discussed in PM. I was still running your N4.5 root when HBOgo updated their app and I lost that application. Being the moron I am at times, I did not realize this was the cause, and thought somehow I had lost my root in backing up my SD card to my computer a day prior. So, I took my trusty CWM/N4.5 root card I had saved out and attempted to go back to factory install and reroot, assuming I could get my HBOgo back and then later install CM7 on an SD card as I had wanted. Oh well, I did that and even remembered to block OTA updates in NT Hidden Settings, but alas HBOgo was not working. Finally I realized my mistake...all I should have done was taken a back up of the earlier HBOgo app and replace the nasty update! Too little too late. So, I must have made a mistake in reinnstalling the root because I now have a tablet reflecting I'm running BN 1.4.2. I still have access to both the amazon and google play stores but having trouble downloading new apps from google play. AND, every time I try to run HBOgo I have to go back into Settings and clear a cache etc. So, i've borked the whole thing!
So, I've read through the site and discovered your R3 post and thought perhaps this is my best solution! (I am less enamoured with having the SD version of CM7 now that you have created this nifty little R3 card!).
My question is, can I go directly from where I am (BN 1.4.2) with some weird half rooted ?? version of N4.5 to CM7 using your R3 card? My concern is not the 1.4.2 as your video shows this isn't a problem. It is that I was rooting using the N4.5 rather than the N4.6 which you reference in the R3 tutorial?
I think this is the best plan but am hesitant to go for it. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Lisa
Disregard last post
Needed to download update to NT hidden settings to get OTA block and unauthorized apparently...just in case someone else runs into this.....not sure if NT app is old on zip or if my TB reinstalled old app version but there you have it.
Loving root with BN access....may just keep instead of CM7. As always thanks Albert.

You can build a bootable CM9 and/or CM10 SDcard (but it's not a R3 card with CM9/10) using the instruction and files posted here and here.
My 16g has a corrupted partition table. I've tried every other repair/recovery method without any success. Does this recovery repartition as well?
Thanks for what you do.
The original post for the easy instructions to root the NT are a mess. The original instructions for doing it on Windows aren't even complete. I started building the files by following the Linux version of the instructions since they actually made sense and had the files you were to get.
If I'm not mistaken though I ended up using this to root the nook although it wasn't really what I was looking for considering I had CM7 and I would get a boot choice to go nook or android. That all stopped when the sd card I was using freaked itself and failed leaving me stuck at the N screen unless I pulled the SD card. My intentions were to leave the NT stock and not mess with it and run Cyanogen on the sd card. What it appears I'm left with though (without installing a rom) is a co-mingling Nook OS and Android OS since I'm now able to choose a launcher and I have Android screens with those launchers in the Nook itself. Which this is kinda cool because I don't have to reboot the system to switch to the reader anymore.
I installed Launcher 8 to give it some WIN8 love and easy access for my fiancee whom uses a mouth stick to get around in android easier. My problem I'm having is the android system doesn't seem complete. I'm assuming there are gaps missing or something because things are slow and some things aren't working when the icon is selected. Which simulates the program isn't actually there or the files to make it work.
Obviously there wouldn't be a phone but there are other things that used to work with the dual booting CM7 installed on the old SD card that aren't working now.
Since I'm not exactly sure if the above is how I ended up rooting the device I don't even know where to go from here to adding anything to it.
I'm not a developer and loaded this thing up about this time last year. The scenery has changed over the year and I'm kinda lost with all this again. Spent most of the day yesterday trying to figure out where I was and really got no where. So hopefully someone get's what I'm talking about and can give me the push in the right direction.
Not looking to make it dual boot again because this is easier for my fiancee to use like it is. Just want everything to work right like it should. I couldn't tell you what version android I have on here because I never actually loaded an individual rom yet there is android functioning on the device. My idea was to get the newest android which isn't 4.4 yet and is actually from what I can tell that is working would be JB. Yet I have no clue what this thing is running on with the loader and such I have on it.
I'm not enirely sure what it is you want, You say you don't want dual boot, and yet you talk about the non-wotking sd card as if you actually want dual boot.
Anyway, IF you want dual boot you don't need to root it at all. Just burn an sd card with a ready-made CM10.x image, pop it in and boot up. Then choose either internal, stock boot or run from sd-card.
Here is a link to a page with ready-made sd card image file:
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/
(This guy, Succulent, has inages of later versions of CM10.x as well, but this is the one I had a link to wothout having to go look for it.)
If you want the Tablet back to fresh "out of the box" condition you can use a repart.img that you can find by looking around a bit. I have referred to it in several posts, but I don't have a link at hand right now, Google is your friend...

*The non working sd card*
It was running as a dual boot before with cyogen or something like that and it would be selectable to go to Nook or the CM7 Android. That card somehow just died and can't even be seen in Windows anymore (have an rma filed with Patriot).
I rooted the nook and now I have what appears to be a partial android OS running inside the BN Nook OS but things aren't functioning. (I prefer it like this vs the dual boot way) So it's like I need a gapps file or something. All settings links lead to the Nook OS settings page and nothing get's me to the Android settings which is why I state it appears to be a partial Android OS. I don't even know what OS version it is because nothing fully functions with the Android side of things. (Take the Launcher8 Loader I installed. No icons actually open what they should. Selecting an icon leads to that icons settings and not what it should be opening. I have the same loader on my Skyrocket so I know how it SHOULD function and selecting an icon to get options for it is not correct. You have to press and hold to get the button to set the icon options.)
You won't get "proper" Android just by rooting. For that you need to install CM x.x. Either install it internally or run it from sd (that you apparently don't want to do)
I have not followed the particular root process you used, but both of the ones I have used myself come with gApps included.

That is all the installed apps that pull up under the Nook OS with using Launcher8 and swipping the homescreen to the left it pulls up a list of installed apps just like windows phone.
It must be brians anyway because I just opened the nook hidden settings and under the about Nook Tablet Hidden Settings it shows:

Actually you are incorrect as you say nothing about returning the tablet to stock out of the box. Must have been someone else your thinking of. I don't want it to be out of the box though. The nook OS was already setup with apps and books etc. I just want to reverse the rooting I guess to remove the stock android from it so I can then use the links you provided to create a correct root and dual boot using wait for it.....

Ok I stand corrected on that matter, but stock out of the box isn't what I want.
I'm not sure you can undo what you've done without loosing content. But as long as you backup your sideloaded stuff, your BN books and apps can be dowloaded at any time.
I suppose you can stay rooted and just disable your alternative launcher and what have you, but you said something about your system being slowed up, and I susoect fixing that without a wipe of some sort would be difficult. Could be wrong though snce I haven't dealt with that myself. Let's hope someone that knows better might come along with advice more to your liking.
While waiting for that you can always make one of the CM 10.x sd card images and run it.It will work completely independent from your trublesome stock OS.
System isn't slow at all also anything side loaded came from B&N so could also be redownloaded like the books. I was just hoping to keep all that intact as it was. There just aren't certain things working that should is all. I'm sure if I was a dev and understood all this stuff more clear I could fix it. I would rather take the easy cheesy way out and just redo it. lol Too much stuff around the house falling behind while messing with this thing.

Not looking to make it dual boot again because this is easier for my fiancee to use like it is. Just want everything to work right like it should. I couldn't tell you what version android I have on here because I never actually loaded an individual rom yet there is android functioning on the device. My idea was to get the newest android which isn't 4.4 yet and is actually from what I can tell that is working would be JB. Yet I have no clue what this thing is running on with the loader and such I have on it.

The BN stock ROM is based on Android v3.2 ("Honeycomb"). Rooting it essentially enables you to install additional apps beyond those that came with the stock ROM, either via the Playstore or by side-loading & installing the apps' .apk files (rooting packages/tools themselves typically add some commonly used apps (Email, Playstore, etc.) to get the user started).
The risk of using rooted stock ROM on the NT (especially as BN won't be releasing any more update for it) is you're stuck with the Android 3.2 base, thus as developers' support for 3.2 wanes over time you won't be able to install newer apps or even newer updates of many current apps. This same "Android version obsolescence" consideration also applies to CM7 and CM9.
As such I think it make the most sense to install CM10 to replace the stock ROM internally on emmc. If you value stability over having the latest/greatest bells/whistles, try Succulent's CM10.0 version dated 12/31/12, or the CM official 10.1.3.

So CM 10 can replace the current android OS inside Nook? Or are you saying CM 10 will replace the Nook OS all together if put on the emmc?

It will alltogether replace the Nook OS. As said in one of the posts in the development section thread they are mutually exclusive.
If you want to keep any of the original Nook functions you cannot run another Android veresion except from sd-card (meaning dual boot).

That's what I thought but the other user made it seem like CM 10 would replace the Honeycomb OS. So that leaves with with waiting for other input on the possibility to unroot without going to complete stock on the Nook..........

Unroot without going to complete stock??
Your options:
Unrooted = stock.
Rooted stock (what you run now) = stock but with access to system files and ability to use for example Google Play store.
Install CM 10.x internally = completely replacing Nook OS.
Dual boot: Running CM 10.x from sd card, leaving the Nook OS (rooted or unrooted, either works) internally. Remove sd-card or reboot through Cyanoboot (you can leave the card in the device) to get to Nook OS.

Yea haven't heard back from anyone on the returning to stock without the complete reset so It looks like I will be moving books over in the near future.
So I'm getting back onto this thing and finishing it up either tonight or tomorrow.
Resetting the Nook to stock can all be done via the nook settings correct? IE no sd card needed.
The official guide for installing cm12?
Hi everyone,
I have no idea if this is the place to post my question and I am really sorry if this is not.
Umm..
I would very much like to install CM 12 on the Nook Tablet from download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=acclaim&type= but I have no clue how to do it.
I tried the link wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_acclaim which seemed a good place to start for a newbie until I saw this sentence "Bear in mind that the boot.img included with the Clockwork Mod Recovery does not support CM > 10.1.3" and belatedly realised that it wouldn't work for CM 12. *facepalm*
Now I am back to square 1 of ignoranceville and it's pretty lonely over here.
If someone would be gracious enough to help me out, it would be hugely, ginormously appreciated with ALL of my heart! :fingers-crossed:
If you installed cm10 and you have custom recovery just boot to fastboot (hold the 'n' button during start) and install the recovery from cm12 thread. After this install cm12.
It's worth noting that you have to convert userdata partition to f2fs for optimal performance. There are two tutorials how to do it in the cm12 thread.
As I understand it.
It is indeed lonely out there in the stix, fellow noob. When I first came to XDA looking for rooting instructions, I was told to read read read, and I have indeed been doing that. But even then my knowledge has a few gaps.
First, I have a factory resetted stock BNTV250 tablet that is at version 1.4.3. I want to get to the CM12 Lollipop 'acclaim' nightlies on github.
As far as I can understand, these are the current instructions as a general overview;
1) Go from BN stock (what I currently have) to CM10. There are a couple of threads around that have enough information to get someone to this point. You format the (micro) SD card on your computer for fat32.
2) Then use the TWRP 2.8.5.2 from that thread on a properly formatted SD card (now ext4?) card to use the desired image (in my case CM12). Reboot and install CM12 using TWRP.
3) Then, to increase the performance (highly suggested) go to the "CMxx [sdcard as Emulated] {Walkthrough} Guide." So you can merge partitions into one 'single' large partition. But I am not sure if this can include the external SD card that I want to use or not (i.e. in that same partition). Also, I am not clear what is the largest size of SD card I can use on the nook?
I am also unclear if I could use an external USB keyboard or not with that (with a micro USB to standard female USB adapter)?
Ok. That's scenario #1. I *could* get eventually through all that and end up with CM12 installed.
But the *much* preferred scenario #2 that I do not know if it exists or not (indications are that exists for some versions CMXX) is to;
1) format an SD card, transfer the proper files onto it, put it in the nook, reboot,
2) the nook boots and automagically installs the desired CM12 image (or prompts a couple of times).
3) Then you shut down, remove the SD card, reformat it (ext 4?) , and install on device to expand usable memory for all those movies/music someone might want to watch.
I really do not know if scenario 2 exists exactly. I do know that #1 can be done.
As I said, I'm a noob like OP, and if anyone can fill in a couple of the gaps while I wait on the memory card to be delivered, I would appreciate it!
Edit: I don't understand why it's not possible to "sideload" TWRP (or something similar) onto 1.4.3 stock nook, then install an CM12 image from there.
The XDA forums can be like a maze sometimes! :laugh:
I also am having trouble with anything higher than cm-10.1 . I have jelly bean working on my nook tablet (bntv250a) right now. With the usual bugs
These are the files I have working now. cm-10.1-20130117-19-acclaim-HD.zip and gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip I have tried many other combinations of 10.1 and 10.2 and 11.1 always seem to end in boot loop. But I can seemingly ALWAYS boot those two files and bring jelly bean back. So I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong with my install technique. Probably WRONG though !!!
I did finally try the latest cm12 and it amazingly did boot and not loop. BUT...... It immediately said android updating. Went through about 95 updating and then finally got to the welcome screen. Others have seem a million popups saying goo apps not working or something to that effect.
Anyway I was able to connect to wifi and start the registration. Unfortunately it was running VERY VERY SLOW !!! The keyboard kept disappearing and was so SLOW that I never made it through.
I am taking note of what kodjo said in a post above about f2fs. I'm going research that and see if I can figure it out. Kind of a last ditch effort.
Keep up the good work folks
latest snapshot for my B&N NOOK acclaim boot loops for me

latest snapshot for my B&N NOOK acclaim boot loops for me
This is what I tried the latest snapshot: cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K6-acclaim.zip
Constantly boot loops.
Had to revert back to this: cm-12.1-20151007-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO331-acclaim.zip
This is the gapps I'm using. Works fine with the 20151007 rom : open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-20150923
What am I doing wrong ?
Any major changes in the recovery's ?
What is the recommended gapps ?

Is there anyone using these old nooks anymore ?
Would it be possible for someone to post links to ROM's and GAPPS that are working on their 16gb B&N acclaim nook ?
That would be really appreciated. Then I can determine if it's my hardware or just my install.
Hi guys, I know this is an old device but need some help if there is anyone here who can remember anything about BNTV250A (Barnes and Noble nook tablet 8gb)
I am trying to remove CM11 from my nook tablet and reload the original Barnes and noble software on it. I have a 7 year old niece who I am trying to introduce to reading. And what better way then a nice new (atleast for her) gadget with books.
So basically sometime back I have installed cyanoboot and CM11-SnapshotM12 to this tablet. This is surprisingly still running very well but I would like to remove it and port back to older BN software to get rid of all the games etc and make this a reading tablet.
I did notice that cyanoboot gives you the option to choose a boot order (internal eMMC/SD) but I am hoping to load the BN software to eMMC while probably keeping cyanoboot installed so as to have the option to boot from SD at a later point in time.
Any hep as to how I can do this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

I think that you will need to return the device to stock and then update it from the zip at the B&N website. Presumably you have an SD card that was used to flash the CM11. That's your path back to Cyanoboot, not something left on the device.
