i rooted my NT about a year ago when i got it (i don't recall the specific method used), and have been clunking along with it for months, but now i want to install CM 7, 9, or 10.
most of the guides start with "Stock 1.4.3" but my software version says "9.9.9" after root (iirc, it was 1.4.1 when i received it).
can i use these guides with the rooted 9.9.9 version i have?
or are there special instructions for 9.9.9 (maybe an abbreviated version since i am already rooted?)
or do i somehow have to go from 9.9.9 back to 1.4.1 or 1.4.3?
thanks for any assistance, and if you need more information from me, i'll see if i can provide it.
That 9.9.9 just means that you've blocked ota update and it doesn't matter at all.

See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626 for how to install CM10; if you'd like to use a different CM10 build just substitute in the zip file for that ROM build in step 2(c).

thanks!! i'll follow your guide (there are so many floating around that i never quite know which are still considered applicable. yours looks great.). is that applicable to both rooted and stock? i have a buddy who got a NT recently, so i am trying to test out CM10 before recommending it, but mine is rooted stock and his is unrooted stock.

Yes, the installation will over-write whatever is currently in emmc (and that's why it's recommended that you back up the current config).
FWIW, your buddy can keep his stock ROM and try running CM10 off an SD card (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35946501#post35946501), and decide later whether to replace his stock ROM with it.
I have complete stock 1.4.3 and have been running off of a CM7 sd card since the beginning of summer. I'm ready to upgrade to the emmc version of CM10, but do I need to root the BN ROM first? I want to install this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773362 I would "burn" the recovery.img to my sd card and install the .zip onto the emmc, right? This is my first time flashing an internal ROM and want to be sure.

No, you need to first create a “bootable” clockworkmod (CWM) recovery SD, then rename the referenced recovery-0.08.3.img to recovery.img and copy it as well as referenced cm10-acclaim-0.08.3-full-of-bugs.zip and the file gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip to the card.

Thanks for the help! I'm a little confused though, do I use the SD card or the emmc version of CWM to make the bootable SD? Does the emmc version flash CWM to the nook and from there do I install the files from a SD, or does it boot from the SD and allow me to flash ROMs to the emmc?
Also, if I'm using the CWM .img what's the purpose of the recovery.img on the card if all I'm flashing are the .zips? I would imagine the ROM .zip instructs it to flash the recovery.img but the CM10 thread says you can use an older CM9 recovery.img.
Sorry for all the questions! Thanks again!

The recovery version you need to put on the SDcard is the sdcard version (not the emmc version); recovery is the tool that manages the flashing of the ROM/gapps zip files onto the NT, clearing of cache, backing up current ROM & apps, etc.
The emmc version of recovery is for flashing onto the NT and is used presumably for "performing recovery" without external SDcard. Some ROM packages include a recovery.img but not all do (in which case the recovery.img on the NT remains the stock recovery).
I just spent the last hour and a half trying to get a bootable CWM 6 sd card. First I thought I would need to boot into CWM but couldn't get that to work (I vaguely remember doing that to set up my CM7 SD card). Then I realized I can boot into cyanoboot and flash it through that. Using various methods, including the link you provided, I can't find a definite step-by-step guide. In the guide you provided I followed the steps but am stuck on step 5. When I go into SDC Recovery I don't see backup options anywhere, I see a list of recovery options. Here's what I see http://i3.minus.com/inttvFzHpVF88.jpg
Here are the files on the SD card http://i1.minus.com/ibgXFOKRf8DObb.png
Do you have any idea what's going on?
Did you press the Home button "N" to select SDC Recovery? If so, do you have screen-capture of resulting screen?

I tried to get back to the same screen to take a pic when it finally booted into CWM! I guess it takes a few tries to get it to boot. I chose the backup option and it started copying files for a few minutes until it got stuck on a file. It's been stuck on it for the last hour. http://i.minus.com/ivJa6tBF5tl9i.JPG
If I turn it off I have the chance of corrupting the file but since I don't really plan to go back to stock it wouldn't really matter anyway. The card might be full, but I only had like 100 MB of files on there.
If you don't plan to go back to stock, there is no need to back up (worst case you can get the stock ROM from https://github.com/succulent/acclaim_recovery_sdcard).
If you have more problems you might want to check out your sd card (if need be reformatting it with sd formatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/).

The CM10 thread says to now install CWM to emmc using fastboot. I know it's optional but I want it just in case. I looked it up and installed fastboot but which recovery should I use? The recovery-0.08.3 from the thread or the CWM recovery?
Yes, although it's probably easier to use your same CWM SD (which you just used to flash CM10 ROM and gapps) to flash one of the two flash_CM9-10_CWM_v6.0.1.2_8-16gb_tools_emmc.zip or flash_CM9-10_TWRP_v2.2.2.0_8-16gb_tools_emmc.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958.

I have one last question: Is there a way I can increase the 1GB data partition? I know android needs space for apps and such but I think a 4GB data partition is reasonable. I have a DVD of Ubuntu so I can access GParted if I need to. If you don't know or don't think I should mess with it that's completely fine, I have a 32GB micro SD that I'm going to use (my current CM7 card) but just want the extra internal space.
The data partition is for apps you download, the media content can go to the Nook media partition or SDcard. If you have many apps with large storage footprint you will likely need extra space. There are tools and methods for repartitioning on XDA (I have not needed to use them), just do a Google search I am sure they will turn up.

Hello All,
I have a Nook Tablet 16gb unrooted and I am looking to do a full backup (Nandriod backup). As I understand it I can do this with a SD card and Clockwork Mod (CM7 I have currently downloaded). I am not looking to root it at the moment, just a full complete backup. I did download a SD version of CM7 and I have the windows imager but I see two files boot.img and flashing_boot.img. Do I just flash the boot.img to the SD card?
Sorry for the noobie questions but I haven't found the right thread with this info. Also when I do the backup so I *need* to swap out the card I used to boot CM7 with a blank card? Or can I use the same card? It is a 16gb card so should have enough room (I think)?
I did find instructions for making a CM7 boot SD cad with linux but is there a way with Windows?
Thanks in advance

i assume you don't have anything installed internally? as in no internal custom rom and no internal custom recovery?
if thats the case then the only thing you would be backing up is your Stock ROM?

Correct. I am looking at modding it, but I would like to do a full backup of the system as is before I "play" with it (and I may wait until after the warranty...not sure on that either way a full backup is always a good thing to have handy). Also I believe nandriod backup (CM7) backs up all data as well as the ROM, or am I in error about what it backs up?

yea a nandroid backup should backup everything. just make sure you use a compatible recovery to back it up like cwm 5.0 or cwm 5.5.

Ok thought so. And I was planning on using a SDcard only version of it to do the backup. Which one do you recommend? I have seen a lot of types versions etc and I am a bit at aloss which one. I am looking for a version that can put on a card easily with windows, so far I am only finding CWM to build that require Linux.
Also one other question...when I boot CWM from the SDcard, do I need to swap cards or can I do the backup to the same card. It would be a 16gig card.

You can use the same SD card to store the ROM as you booted into CWM with. Keep in mind you'll have to repartition your SD card after writing the CWM image.

You should be able to back up your ROM (including its apps' data) to the same card. Just make sure that the partition holding CWM is big enough to store the backup archive (around 500-600MB per backup); if it's not you can use a tool like MiniTool Partition Wizard to resize the partition to as large as you wish.
I never did get around to doing this (which I regret although the tablet is thankfully, working ok other than a battery issue) and now that I have rooted and using my tablet more I am really wanting to do this Originally I was thinking of installing to a SDCard and doing it that way. Which I am still thinking that is best in my case. However is there a advantage to having CWM installed interally such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458630 ? Apparently the flash recovery app was included with the root method I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439630 but not installed. Other than taking up space on the internal storage is there any other disadvantage to having CWM installed internally?
And finally I can only use CWM 5? I had no idea that the newer versions were incompatible with Nook NT. I will have to see if I can find that older version.

If you're running rooted stock ROM (as opposed to custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod), you should keep stock recovery and not install CWM recovery internally.
You can use a newer version of CWM, beware though that you might not be able to use one version to restore backup copy made with another version.

Ok I didn't like the idea of installing CWM internally anyway. I figured why install it and take up space when I can just run from a SD card.
And that is what I originally thought, data between versions might be a problem, but I couldn't imagine why older versions would be necesary for a Nook NT (unless there was some odd quirk with the NT that the newer versions of CWM didn't take into account).
And thanks!

I think you should be able to use CWM versions v6.0.3 and older to backup the NT stock ROM (FWIW I recall using v6.0.3.7).
CWM changed its backup archive format between release 5.x and 6.x -- from tar/zip to BLOb, so I think it would be prudent to save a copy of the recovery program together with the backup data it generated if you plan to switch to a newer CWM version.

I quite agree and was planning on doing so as well. The version I am using is 5.0.2 if I recall correctly (I know it is not 5.5). I tried to resize the partition with mini tool partition master but then the card wouldn't boot. Apparently I need to do it in unbuntu with gparted, while some people seemed to have luck with it or eraseus, I didn't. Anyway I write the image image again, booted CMW, then swapped cards (16gig freashly formatted card with SD formatter) and let it do the backup. Took about 20 minutes or so. All seemed to go well, does it have error checking or do I just need to hope the backup went well?
And is there any problems with 5.0.2? Should I look around for a copy of 5.5?
Thanks again for all your help.

I don't have any experience with 5.0.2, as the oldest I ever used is 5.5 (from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958).
FWIW, early versions of CWM v6 (e.g., 6.0.1.2 up through 6.0.2.8) use compatible backup archive (tar/zip) format with v5.
Forgive my blinding ignorance and noobiness.
I have been off the forums for some time. I have been running an old version of Paranoid Android off an SD card since December. (Thank you iamafanof...........I've been using your first incarnation of PA all this time!) Finally, I have a bit of time and energy to update my ROM.
When I first created this SD card running the PA ROM, I had to download to my computer four files..... two ROM zips: (one internal and the SD version), boot.zip and GAPPS. I then had to use my computer to place files in the boot partition of my newly partitioned card (I used SD Formatter for that), first swaping files from the SD zip into the Internal zip of the ROM and GAPPS as originally described in the CM7/CM9/CM10 post (these instructions have been repeatedly posted all over the forum and digimax wrote me a handy tutorial back then....thank you digimax, I get how to do that). Here's my question:
Is there an easier way to update the ROM on the card I am using (i,e., do I have to go through all that again)? I see that the developers are still posting Internal and SD versions of the ROMs and boot.zips for updated ROMS. In my dreams, I wish I could just go to GOO images on my NT, download a new, ready made SD.zip ROM into my boot partition somehow, wipe dalvik and system, data 1 partitions , and use cyanogen mod options to install the fabulously ready pre-prepared SD ROM.zip and a handy GAPPS. Right? OK, back to reality. Bottom line, my computer up is a piece of crap running windows 98 so I can't download from GOO images with it (old version of explorer) even in compatibility mode...I will have to download onto my NT, move the files over...yada yada yada and so on.
I understand very little about development. No offense meant to the developers who work so hard to keep us all in ROMs, I don't expect my fantasy about the SD ROMs to happen. If I have to "go through all that" again, no big deal, I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything about an easier way for me to update my ROMs. Can I somehow prepare a new card using my rooted NT instead of having to mess with my computer? Any links available on how to? Just a hint would be fine. I'm willing to learn since there is no new computer in my immediate future.
Please don't respond just to blast me about reading the forums and so on. I am not just lazy, there is a good reason for me to be asking for a bit of assistance. If you don't have anything nice to say, I would prefer you didn't say it at all.
Thanks.

I'm a little confused over what it is you want to do. Do you want to run from sd or do you want to install internally?
If you want to run from sd there are ready made images to download at Iamafanof website. Just download and burn!
The talk about flashing, wiping Dalvik suggests you want to make an internal install. If that indeed is the case then you need cwm version 6.x.x. If you have that, then it's as simple as booting into cwm and install Rom and gaps that you have put on your card.

To update from your current PA ROM build to a newer build, you only need to download the SDC version of the zip archive files for the new ROM build and the corresponding Gapps onto your SD boot partition, and flash them using SD CWM recovery (steps 7-12 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098419). You only need to wipe /data if the two ROM builds have different android base versions (e.g., 4.2.1 vs. 4.2.2).
Although I have not done it, you should be able to download the zip files directly onto the SDcard boot partition (/sdcard).
Thank you asawi and digimax. Yes asawi, I want to continue to run off the SD card. I guess wipe dalvik only applies to internal (didn't know), I will educate myself on that. Digimax...again, you understood my essential question and came to my rescue. Thank you again for taking the time to respond!

Cache & Dalvik apply to both, and the same /cache partition on emmc is used whether you are running a ROM on emmc or on SD card. You should wipe Cache/Dalvik when flashing a new ROM build (although I myself don't always do it ).
Thanks again digimax, that saved me some time and helped me understand why I thought that (wipe dalvik/cache and possibly data 1) was necessary. OK so the System partition wiping was dumb.
{EDIT POST: I downloaded the PA 3 ROM SD.zip and PA 3 GAPPS.zip files and used .zip viewer and I now see that boot.img and recovery.img are in the SD ROM.zip (as indicated in iamafanof's PA 3 ROM post) so I answered my own questions below! (For anyone reading and following this that was interested, I am answering my own questions below just in case it helps someone else.}
So to clarify as I was just reading the thread this post came from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36685310&postcount=1
{EDIT: Forget this post...not applicable for THIS ROM}
1.) Question: I do NOT need to extract boot.IMG, recovery.IMG (flashing boot.IMG, mlo) from the updatd SD.zip and copy to SD boot partition? (I see that correct voldfstab and updater are now incorporated into SD.zips, which means if I was to be able to collect enough beans to buy an new 32GB SD card, I could set up partitions on the new card and not have to swap voldfstab and updater the way I used to?).
1) Answer: NO MORE SWAPPING those files. Dreams do come true!
2) QUESTION: Since for now I want to update my current card, I just need to somehow get PA Updated SD.zip and PA Updated GAPPS.zip onto boot partition and flash them with cyanoboot? Why does that not sound correct to me? Did I misunderstand you? Does this mean the original boot.IMG, recovery.IMG and so on stay the same with the Updated PA ROM (as the thread I have referred to in connection with the updated CM10 builds says at minimum usually boot.img and possibly recovery.IMG need to be changed.)?
2) ANSWER: The update PA 3 ROM SD.zip folder contains the necessary boot.img and recovery.img files. These will I believe overwrite the old ones on the boot partition (I hope) when I install the new ROM using cyanogen mod Install Zip from SD Card.
Geez I hope I am making sense here! I read that thread because I wanted to understand the principal behind what you had instructed me to do and also I stumbled on it while trying to find out how to access the boot partition on the SD card for download from my NT.
3) QUESTION: (If I boot into my rooted emmc, would I be able to see the boot partition on the SD card and then download directly to it as you suggested was possible?)
3) ANSWER: Yes, once booted into emmc with SD card left in (choose Internal Boot in cyanogen mod or just don't click SDC boot) as long as you are rooted, you can see the boot partition using a file manager (I use ES Explorer). I am going to download the zips directly to the SD card boot partition by booting into my rooted emmc, then boot into cyanogenmod and install the zip files using SD Card (I have CWM already updated and installed on SD Card).
Note: iamafanof (succulent)suggests in his PA 3 OP that prior to installing GAPPS.zip, you fix permissions. Also, as a reminder, heed digimax's note to clear data if necessary (see his above post).
Will let you all know how it goes! Thanks again digimax!

OK so the System partition wiping was dumb.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
/system automatically gets reformatted (aka "wiped") as part of the ROM flashing.
Note that to wipe /data partition on SD card, use the "wipe data1" item on CWM recovery menu. You'll need to use one of Succulent/iamafanof's more recent CWM versions such as cwm_6.0.2.8_acclaim_recovery_sdcard.img (available at http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery) as older versions do not have this "wipe data1" option.

1.) Question: I do NOT need to extract boot.IMG, recovery.IMG (flashing boot.IMG, mlo) from the updated SD.zip and copy to SD boot partition?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The boot.img and recovery.img inside the SD ROM zip file will be flashed onto the SD card /boot partition (replacing any corresponding existing copy on the partition).
For the NT to boot into SD card CWM recovery you need to have in the /boot partition: MLO, u-boot.bin, flashing_boot.img (aka Cyanoboot) and recovery.img. If they are already there you don't need to replace them.

There is no need to boot into rooted stock ROM in order to access the SD card /boot partition, you should be able to access it while running CM off SD.
Thanks Digimax. Yes, "wipe". That was a case of my losing a word, it happens sometimes. :banghead:
As you can see I have been trying to figure this out for myself. I hate having to ask and ask questions, and you have been extraordinarily kind and patient. I really appreciate that! I saw in a much earlier thread, just after you had written up those instructions for me for the first PA ROM, that you moved the instructions to this site and others had similar questions to the ones I had. That made me feel better about having had to ask the first time around
Of course once again I had trouble getting my point across when I asked the question here. :banghead:
I am really tired right now, up too late. I have another question, but I want it to make sense and not much does right now! (I had written this post with a question but in editing it deleted it because my brain began melting and I don't think I was making sense!)
Maybe tomorrow I will see things more clearly!

OK, I'm back after lots of reading, but still stuck.
I want to install the updated CWM 6.0.2.8 as suggested on my SD card ROM, so when I go into SDC Recovery I get that ( I am now getting CWM 5.x.x.x). I believe that came preinstalled with the original PA ROM as I don't recall doing a manual install of it.
I downloaded the 6.0.2.8 zip from the link you provided. As I understand it, I need to place that zip in the root of the SD card, rename it "update.zip" and then select Update Zip from SDC Recovery. (Or, don't rename it and select install zip, correct?)
Here's the problem, which is the same problem I will have when trying to flash (install) the updated PA ROM: I don't know how to put the zips in the "root" (i.e., not enclosed in any folder, in the SDC boot partition) using only my NT (without my computer). I'm not even sure if I did boot into stock rooted that I could successfully do this, it is just what I mused I could do if nothing else. I also thought I might use GOO to flash the new ROM/GAPPS but worry that although the app is installed on my SD card, it is set by default to install on emmc and would not do what I intend.
Anyway, digimax, now for me it's the principal of the whole thing! You seemingly implied that it was possible to download the zips directly into the SDC root (boot partition as described above) or copy them into it using my NT only while running the old PA on my SDC, but I can't figure out how. Logic tells me that I should NOT be able to download or copy files into the boot partition while I am running the SD ROM (my logic so there's that).
Obviously, I've wasted enough time trying to figure this out that I could have just plugged in to my computer and avoided all this nonsense. So, that is my next step. But, since I often get like a dog with a bone when I can't figure something out, am I missing something really obvious here?
I don't want to waste any more of your time just because my computer sucks. It is possible for me to download the zips on the NT from GOO and move the files to the computer, and then just copy the zips into the root via the computer and I am going to do that. If I am missing something here that is not just incredibly stupid but might inform others and you have the time to respond, that would be great. If not, no worries! You have been awesome and I learned a lot from you and through my reading (I understand how to use cyanoboot MUCH better, so it was all worth it!
Thanks again!

You don't need to rename the zip file to flash it.
Make sure though that you download the version for SDC and not the one for Internal.

There is a way to access the SD card /boot partition while running your current PA on SD but it would be a bit involved (basically you'd need to edit /etc/vold.fstab to get it mounted).
What I'd suggest is for you to use a File Manager app such as ES File Explorer (freeware from Google Play) while running your rooted stock ROM on the NT and see if the SDcard /boot partition is visible (you might need to get into the app's Settings menu to enable "Root Explorer" so that you can navigate around the whole file system). If the partition is visible you should be able to download or copy files to it.
Yup, that was my thought. Going to try that for kicks.
Thanks again!

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.

The instructions on the triple boot regarding the partitioning of the sdc were clear giving sizes for the newly created partitions etc., I didn't see that on this link (unless I missed it). Could you explain it so a newbie can understand it?

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.
Thank you again. I appreciate the help. I will look at it again.

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).
If you need help or need a step by step guide I can find one or make one for you.

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.)

ok so I took my nook to barns and noble to have them change the partition todays since my computer and adb are not working well together. Ive ran the sd_root_NT16or8bgV4_7 which installs cwm v5.0.2.8. Ive got the 6.0.1.2-bootable_SD which is where i would like to go to since thats where my backup is at. Ive tried to use win32DiskImage to burn the image to the SD card. The preoblem im running into is that my nook will not boot off that image. Im currentl on software version 1.4.2 aswell. The long term goal for me is to be able to flash a few different cm10's and find one that my wife likes the best. Thanks for any help guys
welp i did a google search with a few different key words and got this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798439 So im running CM10 "Jelly Bean" 0.08.3 guess ill go from there but the different cm10s dont seems to want to flash and i still cant use my backup

Without the tools and guides created by them my nook would be still in bootloop or with the stock B&N soft (eww)
My nook crashed after a TWRP recovery flash gone wrong (TWRP Manager), so i had to flash repart.img (stock B&N).
After that my nook was alive again but without touch (multitouch firmware installed).
Below it´s how i went from stock to CM11, but i'm not responsible for any bricked nooks so...
1.Using a disk partition tool, s create a primary FAT32 partition, and set it as active on the MicroSD that you will use to boot, and remember that the card will be wiped so don´t use your mom´s camera card.
2. A. Download (attached to this post) "NT-TWRP-KK-SD.zip" and extract all the files to the root of your SDCard.

D. Gapps http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/standard-minimal-gapps-t2012857 or
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
The files in step 2A MUST be on the card root, B to D can be inside a folder but it´s not needed
3. Eject the card from your computer, and install it in your nook. Power it up.
4. It will boot and show the box screen then straight to TWRP 2.7.1.0.
In TWRP go to WIPE -> Advanced wipe -> Check all except Internal storage and Micro SDcard.
After it´s done wiping, go back to start screen and Install CM11, Gapps and last the flashable recovery.
Click reboot -> Power off
5. Remove SDcard from nook and power on.
If everything went correct you will see cyanoboot and after booting CyanogenMod.

Root?
I just finished updating my 16gb Nook Tablet with this guide, using the latest nightly CM11 build.
In the past, I thought CM builds are pre-rooted, but this isn't.
I rechecked my options in TWRP (bootable on an SD card) and CMW (installed on emmc)... I recall a brief moment where TWRP asked me about root access, but I don't recall where...
Can anyone point me in the right direction to establishing root?
Any input is appreciated.
(I suppose I could wipe and reflash if necessary as well)

So I am just coming into here wanting to root my 16GB Nook Tablet version 1.4.3. I have been looking around the forums for a bit and have not found a specific thread outlining what I need to do. Well most of them are old and I am not sure which ones to follow.
The first thing I need to do is establish root, but how exactly do I go about that. Most of the video tutorials are dead links. Any help would be appreciated!

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575489.
Thanks is an understatement!
In response to OP and idivorceyou:
I had a very similar situation myself. Read many/most of the other 10.x & 11 guides; all seemed to reference the same stuff. Could not get a custom card to work. Suspect that I had downloaded a bad .zip (or two). Found this guide and figured it was worth a shot. Card booted first try and everything worked as written.
Hope those looking for a quick solution find this post sooner than I did.
Has anyone successfully accomplished this installation on the 8GB Nook Tablet?
I've been having massive amounts of trouble getting mine to boot from the SD card. I'd like to give this a try if it will in fact work with both the 8 and 16GB NTs.
Cheers!

Recent CM10/11 should work on both 8GB and 16GB NTs.

Thanks, digixmax! I know some things only work with the 16GB model and I didn't want to brick.
I'll get cracking on it.
So on a whim, I decided to try this guide to go completely CM11 on the Nook. Had a little trouble getting a bootable SD card, but worked that out. After the wipe, and then using TWRP to flash the nightly CM11 - it looked like it completed, but then gave an error saying it was unable to mount /bootdata. I repeated the flashing a couple of times and it still had that message. Flashing gapps and the flash TWRP gave me the same error message. But then after rebooting the device - it does boot to CM11 using the internal storage! It works OK, it seemed like it was freezing a lot and so I enabled Developer access, and then put a limit of "2" on background processes - that seemed to fix the freezing. But now, when installing some applications/games from the Google Play store, getting a message that I need an SDCard. I'm going to try putting in an SDCard later to see if that works...but wondering if we should have partitioned the internal storage? Its a 16GB nook, so maybe two partition with the last one being /DATA? Anyone run into this issue? Thanks.

Did you do a "wipe /data & factory reset"?

This issue of dependency on external SD in CM11 has been reported and discussed on these forums (e.g., just search the Official NT CM11 thread).
You'd need to go back to 10.1 or 10.0 to be able to run any app without an external SD.

Thank you digixmax! Yes, I did do a full wipe using TWRP (per the instruction in OP's post). And yeah, I put in an external SD card, it works fine now.

Just wanted to send out a thank you to everyone who continues to work on these relatively outdated devices. Although this thread is for CM11, I just loaded CM10.0 internally onto my wife's unused Nook Tablet (16 gig, v.1.4.3) as a gift for my retired father. I posted here because I used the TWRP boot files provided in this thread (NT-TWRP-KK-SD.zip), and was previously having problems getting booted correctly (trying CM11 and CM10). I also used the general steps in Digimax's 10.x guide (e.g. backing up the old system, using the older, flashable CWM 6.0.2.x and GApps for CM10.0), and Succulent's final, supposedly quite stable CM10.0 (12/31) build (also pulled from another thread, not the CM site). Given my father's and the tablet's age, I figured system stability was more important than anything else so went with CM10.0 instead of CM11. Everything appears to be running great, cat videos and all.
A few newbie notes relevant to this process (for probably CM11 and CM10). I could not get a bootable microSD card working using Digimax's guide (see the error mentioned in his note i.b, although files did not appear corrupted by examining file size). I wonder if it had to do with the large microSD card I used (32 gig) -- I could swear I remember reading that bigger cards have some issues -- or the additional boot.img file provided by Rpadula in his NT-TWRP-KK-SD.zip. When things did work for me, I had both set the partition size to 2 gb on the microSD card and used files in Rpadula's zip, so it is unclear what made the difference. I also ran into the mounting and zip installation error described above, but after allowing TWRP to grant me root access -- an option presented during restart after wiping -- and restarting the nook, the files installed fine (again, unclear whether or not root access or restarting made the difference).
Thanks again all!

For a noobie this was pretty straight forward for building the SDCard. I am in CM11 on my Nook Tablet! I am having one issue though and I don't know if this is the best place to ask - I am getting "Browser as stopped working" and "Google Account Manager has stopped working" anytime I try to login to my google account or even open the stock web browser. I have tried rebooting and wiping. I also did some digging and found this may be related to a webview issue and tried flashing a fix I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50122471&postcount=2161 but still no luck. Can anyone help me get past this bug?
Thank you for your work on this.

Did you do a "wipe /data & factory reset" while in CWM during the installation process?

I used the advanced wipe in TWRM as described in OP. Could it be related to a bad GApps zip I grabbed? The link in OP was closed so I got it from somewhere else (using gapps-custom-pico-4.4zip). Not sure if that could affect the Browser too though. Also, after every package I installed I got "E:/Unable to mount '/bootdata'. This obviously didn't affect me getting CM11 on there, but just throwing some more info out there.
Edit: I did a full wipe and reinstalled without GApps and I can't test the Google Account Manager now but the Browser works. What GApps zip would you recommend for this build?

I'd suggest you try the Gapps at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps (the "small" version should suffice), the apps are a bit dated but after installation can be updated (via Google Playstore) to their most current version..
