Try and gain root access the same way you did for 1.4.2.
Let us know how it goes.
re-root ok on 1.4.3
I re-rooted mine, using SD_ROOT_NT16or8gb4_7.zip file Just flashed over what was already there. Didn't have to change much afterwards, had to re-register GooglePlay, etc. No issues thus far. Now for the OTA block ..

I made card; then instructions on how to use the card steps 1-4 & reboot. Everything let me in after that. I think I've managed to block all future OTAs, but I thought I did before too.

So you are confirming that this works....its an update from when I did mine so I created a new boot SD. My nt is charging so when its done I'll run it. Btw I did the kindle fire mod to it and its pretty cool. I had just finished it and playing with, accidentally turn ota updates blocker off, then boom 1.4.3. I'm going to try voodoo root keeper.

Okay, color me curious. Please tell us more of your adventures. i'll put on a fresh pot of coffee and close the door so the teenager's noise ( boom, boom ) is slightly less obtrusive... . is this like creating a mule from a horse and a donkey ? the nook is the horse right ?

Well old_fart, I'm surprised you have a smart device, thought you old farts stuck to land lines. If the nook is the horse than you are the donkey lol. It is a cool addition to NT, but it sounds like these things bore you. You are not required to read my posts. Good day.....I said good day to you sir!

I was recently shopping for a knock-around tablet and came across leaderinternationalinc dot com this little guy at Kmart. Yep, I said Kmart. When I asked the price and they told me $129, I said SOLD!.
So far it's been average in performance and had to do some trickery to get some apps installed (Android/Amazon Market, Pandora, Google Talk, etc.) and am still having some difficulty installing other apps. It seems as if they really want you to use their market and apps, some of which are okay, I guess. I got Netflix installed, but the audio/video isn't in sync and everything is a hue of blue. Might be a Flash Player issue - also which I can't seem to update.
Anyway, the bad news is I can't find a way to get in to bootloader or able to root this tab with oneclick. Hopefully they didn't lock this thing down to hard.
Additionally, since the screen is resistive, using a stylus makes it a bit easier to navigate. Worth the money so far!
I'm praying the brilliant dev brains here at XDA will purchase this one and create a simple root/rom that allows me to take this thing to the next level!
Anybody out there?

Looks like it's the same, but in a new place.
We're heeerreeee basit....
Were you able to get the standard Market installed on it? I was able to get it along with Pandora, Google Voice and a couple others (Netflix not working well) with a little trickery. Still can't get Google Talk and a few other things like an updated Flash.
If I can get a plain vanilla Froyo on this I would give this cheap little tab a solid B.
#bonus
I know this doesn't have anything to do with my original [Q], but I thought I would share anyway...
I contacted Impression about another AC adapter... 1 isn't enough...
After I registered my device, they shipped me another for free!
Any devs out there for this one?
just return it and get another one, a tablet thats $129 is probably not going to be great at that price.. other than the time hp touchpads were $99
Yeah, it's not the snappiest device I've owned, but makes a great desk-side companion. Mainly use it for Pandora, Weather, IM and a few other things...I'm generally still happy with it although I know it won't replace my primary device. Having the (free) second AC adapter is nice so I don't have to carry that back and forth. 2 hours of streaming music kills the battery dead.
Stay plugged in with this one.
Still hoping, praying that a dev picks one of these up...

You can install the Android Market without any funny business. Just download the apk and install. Still think this device can perform much better if it just had vanilla froyo... Hope someone cracks it.

I used super1click, the newest version. It didnt work the first few times, i ended up doing shell root first, then was able to achieve root as normal. It did seem to take a while.
Edit: I just rooted a 2nd i7.... had the same trouble with it just hanging during root. When it hangs, quickly unplug the usb the replug it in. Once it detects usb debugging again it will root properly and pass the verification at the end.
Hope that helps

Just attempted rooting it myself with Superoneclick.
Did shell root first and that went fine. Attempted normal root right after and it hung right at the end when it said the device was rooted and would restart. Unplugged and replugged the usb quickly and then it rebooted.
My i7 was definitely not rooted when it rebooted. Not sure what went wrong. Attempted it numerous times with the same result sadly. Did it hang right at the end for you or at a different point during the root?

When it hangs at the end it never worked for me. Id suggest trying the different methods to root instead of auto....i just pretty much tried everything until i goot root to stick...if it hangs during root steps thats when to unplug and replug.

Oh and obviously double check usb debugging is enabled

That most likely means that you got the upgrade to 1.4.1 so you lost root and sideloading. You'll have to go back to stock 1.4.0 then root and block that OTA as much as you can again.

Well that blows lol, I tried to do the ota block with TB, that;s why I paid for it but I guess I didn't do it all the way. I went thru 3 different computors to get the root and ended up having to do it at work so i guess I'll go thru that process again and see what happens. Thank you for your input. I have alot alot to do today but when I get to it I'll relay the outcome.
And btw, all of you here at XDA are AWESOME!
Be sure to check to make sure it is at version 1.4.1 before doing a downgrade.
Right now it still says "unknown" as if it's rooted, does that mean it still is?
Veronica, I know its been a long tike since we used this thread. I gave up on my nook for awhile when I got my new phone but I picked it back up in time to get your CM7 ics ribbon mod.

Nook Tablet on CM7 Soft-Mod ICS_Ribbon Rom
Milestone X2 on Eclipse 2.2 Rom, V6 Supercharged
I can't decide. I've watched youtube videos of both of them and they both look impressive. The nook tablet being $150 cheaper than the galaxy tab is very nice. But I'm hesitating because last summer I bought a nook color and wasn't all that impressed with it even after rooting it. The overall performance didn't meet my expectations. It's sluggish, N64oid doesn't work on the latest cyanogenmod for it, the internet browser crashes, I keep losing my wi-fi connection, etc. In the youtube videos I watched the rooted nook tablet looks like it fixed all of these issues. But I'm still not sure. I don't wanna make the same mistake again. I want a full android experience. Even if it means spending the extra money on the galaxy tab. What should I do?
The Nook Tablet is MUCH faster than the Nook Color (I had one), but I don't have N64oid, so I don't know the performance of running that.
To be honest, if you want PURE Android OS experience WITHOUT the hassle of sideloading GoLauncher, preventing OTA updates, etc..etc.., then get the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus. But if cost is important and you don't mind fiddling with the above, then go with the Nook.
I had the Nook Tablet since it came out and I spent more time trying to get it to work as a pure Android tablet than actually enjoying it, such as sideloading app, figuring out why certain apps doesn't work, etc.. and NOW I got the dreaded 1.41 update.
I am still trying to figure out this 1.4.1 update. When I revert back to 1.4.0, in order to use the NT, I had to turn on Wifi and register. Afterwards, I tried to sideload GoLauncher because I need to download Android Market app in order to get Titanium Backup (TB). TB is required to prevent the OTA update. However, before I get to downloading TB, I received the freakin OTA update again!!
I just want an Android tablet that I can use AND cheap, but apparently the headache of all the above made me not really enjoying the Tablet. So I am putting up my NT for sale and buying the Galaxy 7.0 Plus OR Galaxy Note, whenever it comes out here in the USA
The above is just my experience, so your mileage may vary.
the dilema is simple if you have the money go for the galaxy tab if someday the nook tablet gets the bootloader finally unlocked then u could sell your galaxy tablet and go for the nook tablet and get some bucks back to you , but if you get to love and need the whole (camera + other addons) experience then stick with the galaxy
That was actually very helpful. It does sound like a hassle/headache. Thanks.

I am fine with no camera, but I think the final straw was when I am trying to go back to 1.4.0 AND stop the OTA from happening again. Twice I tried the method I posted above, TWICE I get the OTA update before I can prevent it.
I know CM7 will come in when the bootloader is unlocked, but it probably will be months away before it becomes stable on the Tablet.

Hey guys, who should I sell my nook color too? And how much can I expect to get for it?
Try Amazon.com. Search for the "Nook Color" and when it show up, look at the right side, there is a button that state "Sell yours here".
I avoid eBay because of the scammers and Paypal HOLD your money for 2-4 weeks before releasing it to you. If the buyer "complaint" about your item, valid or not, then Paypal hold it even longer.
Not sure the going price for the NC nowadays.

In excellent condition, about $120 (unless you have extra accessories). Remember that B&N refurbs with a standard 1-year warranty are $149.

The 1.4.1 update is 283 MB. You must have a relatively fast connection
After restoring to 1.4.0 via Adam_Outler's method, you could try downloading something very large on your pc (large enough to effect the speed of all the devices on your network) while configuring the nook tablet to be rooted. Really all you need to download onto the Nook Tablet itself to root is the tgps_launcher.apk. Turn off your wifi after downloading it and then root. Continue to keep your wifi off on the NT.
On your pc, download the android central sideloading wonder machine here. Also the titantium backup apk from here. Use the sideloading wonder machine to install titantium backup. You need to have USB debugging enabled on the tablet just like during the rooting process via tgps_launcher. Now you can follow indirect's OTA blocking method here (all while keeping wifi off), and you should be safe.
The only time you will have wifi on is from first registering the device to downloading the tgps_launcher from here.
After the tgps_launcher is installed, there should be no need to turn on wifi until after you get the update block.
xdahgary was the person who suggested using the sideloading wonder machine, so credit goes to him (and indirect who figured out adb install works) for finding a way to sideload without having to use the web browser after the getting access to the development settings menu via tgps_launcher.
Thanks for the information. Didn't know I can download TB instead going to Market. I'll try it out and see how it goes.
My Internet speed is 24 Mbps, but average throughput is about 21 Mbps, so I think it's not that fast. Not sure how my Tablet can attempt to download the update so fast. But with WiFi off, should be no issue.

I just spent hours trying to get by the first step: going back to 1.4.0.
I followed the link above (AdamOutler's method) and downloaded the file (acclaim-update_stockrecovery.zip). Put it in the SD card and then put the card into the NT. Rebooted NT....nothing happened, just back to NT normal screen.
I tried 4 different SD cards (Kingston, Transcend, SanDisk with varying size, from 4GB to 32GB) and same..nothing.
I viewed the YouTube video instructions and noted the filename that was downloaded is "acclaim-update.zip", no "_stockrecovery" word. So I renamed the file and tried again.... same thing.
So the 1st step failed..so far. I am also preparing for the 2nd step, which is getting the Android Central Sideload wonder and the link for the Mac is DOWN. I don't have a Windows box, so I have to wait till someone posted the link again.
This is what I meant in my post no. 2 above, where it just taking TOO MUCH of MY TIME just to get the NT function as a pure Android OS (I don't care about GPS or Camera). It's not fun going to Fry's Electronics, bought THREE (3) different SD cards and found out none of them works for restoring to 1.4.0, AMONG OTHER THINGS that I have to do to get to pure Android OS.
Not complaining against the NT, nor to the people who helped me with the instructions, but I just want something that doesn't take too much of my time.

Was LITERALLY about to post about that same link...
anyways...i was debating on taking it back as well...i just can't anymore...even with a locked boatloader, i still have, essentially, UNLIMITED storage...sure, i gotta swap out sd cards, but hey wtf...i can have 16gb of TV shows, 8gbs of movies, and 32gb of music...and all of fits in my wallet....no cloud needed, no wifi needed, BUT if want, i got the flix and crackle on there too!!
so in the end....sure we may have a locked bootloader, but we can still use ADW and get most of the apps we want online...it's not as easy, but its still cheaper and slicker...
B&N will either unlock it soon, it is the holiday season people and not everyone is working, or some amazing dev will see that shiny weak spot in the code....patience....
hell, over at the SGSII forum, they have the ICS code for weeks now and still don't have a stable ROM on that beast of phone....patience....
Progress seems to be being made on the bootloader over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378886
Nexus S 4G 4.0.3
The remainder are incompatible micro SD cards. My 16GB Sandisk wouldn't work but a 4GB Sandisk did work.
With respect to the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, I'm tempted to turn in my Nook and get this. The frustration level has already exceeded the additional cost. I'd also like a SIP app like Sipdroid or Csipsimple to work on this device but so far I haven't found any. I suspect this wouldn't be an issue on the Galaxy.

I'm curious if anyone decided to take their nooks in to get them repartitioned. Also curious how it worked out for anyone who did.
I had mine done yesterday... it was a complete img flash... so anything you might have on the internal memory will be gone, anything sideloaded... it took about 20 minutes as it has to be deregistered and brought back to original new status.. then then flash is done.. then it has to go through all that again...
I asked how much I was getting back.. 8GB ... so they split the 16GB between them and you...
Had to reinstall everything I had sideloaded and figure out where I was in a book .. OH lost all my achievements in the different Angry Birds... LOL
Got home and put my CM7 mSD disk in... booted up fine

Great to hear you were pleased with the results. I assume you were running B&N ROM, with CM7 via SDCard.
I am internally debating handing my baby over to them, using the xda method, or leaving things be.

That is great to hear cuz I am so mixed up with the repartitioning on my own. Did you go in with 1.40 or 1.41 and did you walk out with 1.42? Do they do it right away or do you have to come back later and pick it up? I guess I want to make sure I get the same tablet back.

I had 1.4.2 on the Nook.. it came back with the same... I walked in went to the Nook desk told her what I wanted.. then sat right next to the her while she did the steps on a sheet of paper and the mSD with the img on it.. like I said.. I think it took about 20 minutes.. maybe less.. overall was pleased with it.. would have liked more back. lol but oh well 8 is better than 1
I recommend just doing the xda way. As another user mentioned already, they do a factory reset on your device, so it takes out all your content. If you do it yourself, you can atleast restore your data. What seems to happen is that, they do a factory reset, turn off the device, put their sd card in, and then boot via the cable connected to a wall adapter not by powering on the device normally.

I was not asked for a receipt or anything. I was told to come back in 20 minutes. When I returned 20 minutes later, I was asked if I had a 8 GB Nook Tablet or a 16 GB tablet. I told them it was a 16 GB tablet. I was again told to come back 20 minutes later.
I watched the desk where my Nook was undergoing surgery and saw a female employee take over from the guy that had been working on it. About 15 minutes later she asked me to log into my B and N account. She continued for a minute or so then told me it was done. She also took me to the "Settings" page and showed me the new settings. I had 5.91 GB for B&N content and 7.99 of 8 GB available for "other storage available".
All in all a painless procedure. My NT was taken in completely stock and unrooted.

I walked in went to the Nook desk told her what I wanted.. then sat right next to the her while she did the steps on a sheet of paper and the mSD with the img on it.. like I said.. I think it took about 20 minutes.. maybe less.. overall was pleased with it.. would have liked more back. lol but oh well 8 is better than 1

To bad there was no way we could get a hold of that mSD so the devs could work with the image so we could do it ourselves that way.
Update
My wife works at B&N and is doing the memory update to hers today. She works mainly with the Nook sales and will be trained how to do the upgrade. I'll post the results later... hmm... wonder if the zip drive is with her.
I've been debating trying to do the repartition the xda way myself or take it into B&N. Not sure my skills are up to the xda way but want to make sure I can re-root it I get it back.
Did you get your NT back with version 1.4.2 and were you able to root it easily?
Thanks,
Nikkie

I went to B&N to do it last tuesday. process was smooth, but it did update it to 1.4.2. I also unrooted my device prior to taking it there (after backing up with CWM of course). When I took it in, I was at 1.4.0 unrooted with the stock recovery flashed, not cmw
After leaving there. I popped my cm7 sd card in, ran the app to flash CWM to internal then flashed my CWM backup. and poof, I am back to CM7 running on my sd card, and rooted 1.4.0 internal. Quite simple really.
Now I just hope someone works out a SD card version of the B&N firmware so I can put that on the sd card, and put the CM7 internal....
The advantage of the XDA way is that you decide the size of your partitions and save the extra time recovering everything, even CWM.

here is the boot image from the B & N mSD card for the partitioning of the 16gb Tablet.
Had mine done this morning. It took less than 10 minutes.
I had mine repartitioned this past weekend. I originally was running 1.4.0 with root by Indirect and decided I wanted to stay stock and play with CM7 on SD. I backed up a few files, then did a factory reset to unroot and took it in. It took them about 15 minutes. So now I'm completely stock internally (with a bigger partition), and I'm playing with CM7 on SD.
I took my nook into the local B&N today and had the repartition done. Used CWM stock recovery and nook unroot to return to factory settings before I took it in. Went in with 1.4.2. and the whole process went very quickly and smoothly. No one asked for receipts or checked for evidence of past rooting or even asked many questions at all. All I had to do was re-register when it was all over. When I got home, I rooted again using Albert Wertz's newest rom (4.6) and again, everything worked perfectly. I'm now rooted on 1.4.2 with the new partition sizes. Couldn't have gone better.
Okay, this isn't "exactly" a noob question---I've been puttering around these boards and goofing off with my NT since December. And it's not that I "can't" find the answers on my own---my concern is that I'll find what I "think" are answers only to find out I was wrong. So, since flashing to cm7 can SERIOUSLY screw up my NT, I'm gonna go the prudent route and dot all my T's before I take the plunge.
Potentially pertinent info---my NT is currently internally rooted a la Indirect, with a 16gb card in the slot, and build modded to spoof a Nexus S. I have apps/games installed, with ebooks (read through B&N reader) and a few movies on internal memory (moved there via Root Explorer).
1) I understand that prerequisite to loading cm7, I need CWM installed. Anybody got a link to those instructions?
2) When I go to backup my stuff (via Titanium) will it back up ALL my stuff---apps, books, movies, etc---or just the apps?
The rest I can pretty much figure out myself via the pertinent threads. I ain't chicken$#!7 to mod my NT, but this thing is my LIFELINE at work (you have no idea the sheer VALUE of entertainment until you get a job as a security guard!) so I'm very cautious about anything that might have me sitting post, bored to tears because I didn't pay close enough attention or was too proud to ask a noob question

To install CWM (you don't necessarily HAVE to install it internally, but it is convenient), instructions are here
I believe you can set TiBU to back up anything you want. Dig around in it, set a new event and select what you want.
Books purchased through B&N will still be available to read through the B&N market app.
Don't forget to cross your i's
As a side note, Celtic is working on putting together an SDCARD version of CM7. I'm not sure exactly what the hold up is, but if you want to wait a minute, you could go that route as well and 'test the waters'

I've actually got the books all saved to my HDD---I just didn't wanna lose my bookmarks if I didn't have to.

Right, and I've considered that, but when I did cm7 sd card on my wife's NC, it ran kinda sluggish, and I wanted to avoid that with my NT.
Further, when they release cm9 or cm7-Beta, I'd like to know more of what I'm doing so I can be a little less cautious

Once you flash cm7 I recommend installing wifi analyzer. If you end up with wifi issues it will allow you to reconnect without having to reboot. Also volume + will unleash those speakers so you can play videos and actually hear then at a reasonable volume.
As to the sdcard cm7 running sluggish, The only one I tried was a test build, and I never felt a difference at all. And I only use a class 4 sdcard (16gb). I think the NC just runs sluggish period.
Thanks a lot, guys
One more question---is ADB included in the CWM link you posted to me? If not, is it prerequisite to installing CWM?
EDIT: In the link you provided, I found another link to a CWM APK, which seems to pretty much take the guess work out of the whole deal. Guess I know what I'll be doing this weekend (gotta give myself enough time to fix this thing if I jack it up LOL)

To be honest, I don't remember if it is linked there or not. You can find the ADB.exe and the adb_usb.ini needed in the nook&zergy root from Indirect. (should still be stickied in the dev section). It's been a minute, I don't remember how I actually put CWM on my NT. I have it internally installed, as well as running a copy on a CyanoBoot sdcard atm.
Ya know, I'm rooted with Indirect, so I think I may already HAVE ADB.
Cool. One less thing...
