Hey all, been reading a bunch on rooting the nook tablet so you would think I would be able to do this no questions asked but unfortunately I can't.
My nook is on that 1.4.3 so I am using this method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21895025&postcount=14
and there is no zip in that original download and there is no gapp. So I tried to follow the instructions from page 25 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583&page=25
and then boot to the CWM. Now I go to try and unzip the zip I downloaded from page 25, and none of those are zips (side note, for whatever reason when I unzipped the files from page 25 into a folder so I could grab them whenever. Windows encrypted them. So when I copied them to the SD card I un-encrypted them)
So my question to everyone is: Where is this actual zip file and gapp at? My end goal is to root my Nook tablet to either ICS or Jellybean 'permanently' so as not to keep an SD card in it.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
It's probably easier to just skip plain root and flash ICS or Jellybean. Would you rather do that or stay rooted on the stock ROM for a while?

I want to get rid of the Nook interface/OS period
but....I want to make sure I get a pretty stable flash going if that is the case? I can always flash back right?
Thanks for your quick reply Solar Plexus
Yes, you can flash back. Are you familiar with ClockworkMod recovery? The first order of business is to decide whether you want CWM recovery flashed internally or just run it from an SD card. I'm assuming you want everything internal, but just making sure.

I am pretty sure I have the CMW installed on a SD card right now because I can boot to the area where you choose a zip. You know when you boot and you get the white background and the box center on screen.
Is it best to have it internal?
Yes, the white, then the box, then black screen with a bunch of options in neon blue lettering. It should say CWM recovery at the top somewhere. You have this, correct?

Correct, I have this on my SD card currently
You can keep it running from SD card or flash it internally. Either way, you'll always have the option to boot recovery from SD, that is, as long as you're able to boot from an SD card in general.
At any rate, you're ready to flash a new ROM. Download the ROM from the Development subforum that you want to flash and report back. CM7 is currently the most stable.

So the method in my first post makes my SD card a partition of 75mb or so. I won't be able to put the ZIP ROMs on to it. Do you have a link to a detailed instruction so I can write boot img on to the SD card without killing all my space? My SD card is 16gb.
Don't put the ROM on that SD card. Put the ROM zip and gApps on the internal storage of your actual NT (that's the /mnt/media partition). Then you can choose the option to "install zip from internal SD" in CWM.
Also, do you have a 16GB NT or 8GB? Which ROM will you be flashing?

I have the 16GB NT.
I think I will go with the CM7 mod, but I am so tempted to do the jelly bean CM10 mod. Have it on my galaxy nexus and love it. Edit: I have the stock 4.1 OTA update on my galaxy nexus not the CM10 mod
You might want to wait a little while. I get lots of black screens of death on my CM10 ROM. CM7 will definitely be an upgrade to what you're used to though, so don't worry about that.
Here's the directions for flashing a new ROM on your NT:
1.) Make a backup of your current ROM (just to be safe!)
2.) Advanced options -> wipe Dalvik cache
3.) Install your ROM.
4.) Wipe data and cache.
5.) Install gApps.
6.) Reboot and enjoy.

Hey thanks for the info, but where exactly do I throw this zip file onto the Nook at? You said to put it on internal storage. Can I put it anywhere?
Put it on the root of the /mnt/media partition. It's the partition that pops up when you plug your NT into a PC. Or navigate to it using the file explorer if you downloaded straight to the NT.

Hmm wait, I connected it to PC without SD card in it and my Nook comes up as G drive, while the "partition" shows up as H drive? Windows wants to format it...I can't click into it right now either. Should I have windows format it?
No, Windows is never right. You want to put the ROM on the My NOOK (X: ) drive. Can you do that?

Yes, I can put it on my actual My Nook G: (I assume I have less SSD/HDD than you or named them differently) and the other drive for the nook is considered a 'removable disk'
The My Nook has the files:
.adobe-digital-editions
.android_secure
.docThumbs
B&N Downloads
DCIM
LOST.DIR
My FIles

Sound about right?

Now I click through into that zip folder to try and find file to unzip and it says no file found on all the options.

I want to reinstall the Zenexp Rom because it was a very nice Rom but I'm so used to having apps2sd for all my apps. The rom says that if I want to enable it I need to do the following:
" If you plan to use A2SD, you need to create the appropriate partition on your SD card. I recommend: Swap: 0MB, EXT2: 512 or 1024MB. Once you've partitioned, it is highly recommended that you convert your EXT2 partition to EXT3 in Recovery"
I don't know what this means. I managed to save my SD on my computer, luckily I did because I wiped out my whole SD on my phone and had no rom to reboot it to.
So, how do I set this up? please somebody help me. or take a look at the thread and explain it in laymen's term.
i think tnoob puts it in laymen well enough....
1. Boot into recovery
2. Scroll down to PARTITION SDCARD
3.Click On PARTITION SD
4.Click trackball to confirm
5.Select Swap size 32mb is fine
6.Select ext size (I did 768mb you don't have to make it that big)
7.Click again to partition sd card.
8.Go to PARTITION SD menu and choose SD:ext2 to ext3
hope this helpps...

I don't know which recovery build I am on, being that I'm a newbee. I have to step out for a bit and I'll be right back. thanks again.

when you go into recovery and your on the main screen, somewhere on that screen will be your image build....
I checked on google how the image screen looks like and my screen does not have those options. I think its because I don't have the actual original system backup. I always have to load a rom in order for my phone to work.
this is a screen shot of somebody elses but its the same looking screen I have:

It doesn't matter one way or another which one you use to format your SD card. The only thing it will do for your ROMs is if your ROM supports Apps2SD (not the Froyo-native A2SD), or you can flash/add Apps2SD to your ROM after the fact (some you can't), then you can have even more apps because ALL of your apps will be on the Ext3 partition on your SD card. Note that Froyo has problems with partitioned SD cards under most typical circumstances, so if you want that, then search for a thread (probably in the first three pages) in the Eris Dev forum about partitioning your SD card for Apps2SD use under Froyo.
In case you don't know already, the difference between native-Froyo Apps2SD and the other is that Froyo lets you move individual apps to your SD card, your SD card doesn't need to be partitioned at all (just one big FAT32 partition like normal), but some apps don't support being moved to the SD card, whereas the other Apps2SD, every single app can and WILL be on your SD card whether you like it or not.

Hey I'm currently using the lightning 6.1 rom you guys have on this forum but I'm trying to get the new cyanogen mod 7.1 on my galaxy s2 instead via CWM.
I've rebooted into recovery to try flash the .zip but nothing shows up on my SD card... when I try enter the folder it just springs back to the start menu and i'm unable to flash.
Does anyone have any idea?
I have:
Formated my SD card, then put all my data back on.
Made sure the SD card is working.
So how comes its not working via CWM? I can ask to flash it via the actual app but when it boots into recovery to flash it gives me a signature error.

Try going to the "mounts and storage" option in CWM. Then click on mount sd card. That might be your problem.
TIP: If you want to flash CM7 flash this kernel before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693 , becasue if your using cf root kenrel you will get into trouble.

I tried this and it still says there are no files on the SD card... do I need to name it something specific? I tried naming the rom zip update.zip once but that didn't do anything either.
I dont really want to flash to a recovery rom only if i'm not able to get CM7 off of my SD Card :/
*edit* I currently have the zips at the root of the SD card.. there are 4 folders data, LOST.DIR, DCIM and media... should the files be on the root or in another folder?
Make sure the zip file is on the root of the "internal" sd card, also just keep the name the same as the downloaded file. You should find it somewhere at the bottom of the list. Also select with the menu button, not the power button. Power button is to go back.

Safest thing is to just use a CM7 Rom SD card.
is there a video that shows from step 1 how to flash a rom on the nook and how to get cwm on there? thanks
I'm not 100% sure but I am fairly certain there is no CWM for the 8GB NT and thus those users have been sticking to booting CM7 from an sd card.
Perhaps we should start a donation drive for it...

Hey everyone.
I think I may have run into a small hiccup trying to flash my Android device. I'm trying too root a Bell Canada Galaxy Note - I717M.
I managed to find a ZIP file containing CWM recovery image, Superuser, and ODIN Flasher. I loaded these files in the root folder of the INTERNAL (16GB) memory card on the device. (Not an EXTERNAL SD)
As my first step I flashed the CWM rar file in Odin under "PDA" - The device reset and next I booted into Clockwork Mod. Now in the ClockMod menu, the option to "Flash ZIP from SD Card" is not displayed.
I don't currently have an SD card inserted. Does these mean that I would have to reflash CWM entirely? Or perhaps I performed the procedure incorrectly by copying the files to the Internal Storage card?
Even though the Recovery menu did install, is the missing option a result of the device needing to be rooted FIRST, prior to CWM installation?
I'm a little confused so any help would be appreciated. Would I just be looking at a complete REFLASH with Odin after inserting an EXTERNAL SD? Or just placing the files on the external SD Card (once inserted), booting back into CWM and selecting "Install from ZIP"? (If it becomes available)
My main objective is simply to root the device. I'm not looking to install a custom ROM at the moment ... just perform a simple root.
Thanks for everyone's time.
Canadian notes have an extra step.

Thank you so much for the link. I completely would have missed that. I just want to be sure I'm doing this correctly now that there is this "extra step"
The procedure says "If you have an Offending Script" from an OTA ICS UPGRADE
To be honest I'm not sure if this device was upgraded to 4.0 via KIES or OTA. As I bought the phone already running 4.0.4.
Would that make any difference to the procedure outlined in the link? (E.g. Step 7)
Just to clarify. If the phone is supposed to "Reinstall stock recovery" than why would I still be able to boot into CWM?
Thanks for the help :good:
Install from SD is external

Sounds reasonable. Forgive me, I've been off Android for a while now. Just beginning to get back into the swing of things.
I reapplied CWM in Odin. Same result. Although what I thought as CWM is in-fact stock recovery. I'll give the method in the link a shot.

21APR2013 is a SDC image file and 31MAY2013 is just a .zip file ROM. With the 21APR2013 image file all you need to do is write it to your SD card with win32diskimager and put it in your nook. 31MAY2013 is RC3 (release candidate 3) which is newer than the image file. If you want the newest version I would suggest using the image file first so it can set up the partitions for you, then installing the RC3 .zip with recovery once you start your Nook.
I'd put effort installing an Official CM, they've been updated to stable.

The SDC image isn't official CM, it's a succulent build of CM. There are no SD versions of official CM. I like the SDC versions because I can expand the room in my partitions for more apps.

Are you saying that the SD Card image is NOT the Official CM?

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention, and didn't realize this was about new SD card builds. I'm used to the various builds by succulent as being from unofficial builds or paranoid builds. I assumed it wasn't. The last Succulent build I used was from Dec 2012, so it was still unofficial.
But I payed a bit more attention, and it looks like the May one is based off the Official CM RC3 build, which is pre-Stable. I don't think there was an RC4.
He's been focused on the Paranoid and PAC instead of the Official CM.

Does this mean I can still use the IMG dated 21APR2013 and then use the 31MAY2013 ZIP to upgrade? I'm getting so confused and appreciate all the help.

Yes, first burn the IMG dated 21APR2013 to SD card and then to upgrade: boot into CWM and flash both cm_acclaim_10.1.0-RC3_31MAY2013_HD_SDC.zip and gapps-jb-20130301-signed-SDC.zip.
You can also create a CM10.1 SD card from scratch with cm_acclaim_10.1.0-RC3_31MAY2013_HD_SDC.zip and gapps-jb-20130301-signed-SDC.zip by following the process outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36685310&postcount=1.

Thanks for confirming the steps. The creating for the image from scratch seems a little complex and also the reason I'm doing on SD first is to test it out and see if I should just ahead and install CM10.1 internally.
I was wondering, with the SD Image does it "root" the Nook Tablet and install the recovery (CWM) internally or is everything on the SD Card. I'm asking because if I decide to install internally, will I nned to figure out how to 'root' and install the recovery internally and how difficult that would be.
Thanks!
EDIT: ok so wrote the 21APR2013 image to 8GB MicroSD card, interted it into the Nook Tablet, switched it on and it just boots into the regular Nook Tablet OS, nothing different. It seems I must have done something wrong but not sure what. The steps seemed pretty easy, download IMG file, format MicroSD card, Write Img using Win32 Disk tool, intsert MicroSD into NT, Turn on NT.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Nothing is installed internally when you run from sd.
Should you want to install interanlly at a later point it is possible to use the sd card you used to run from to boot into recovery, and then install from there. TheROM I use (Succulent CM10) then installs CWM internally, so it's there should I need it again. (For example for backup)

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for an overview of rooting vs. flashing custom ROM.
You don't need to root in order to install a custom ROM -- see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626.

Thanks for the info and the links. After reading the post linked, it mentions that many NT only boot from power off via a powered USB cable and not via the power button. Hmmm, must have missed that bit of info somewhere. I will give that a go later today.
