I was recently given a nook tablet. It is running version 1.4.3. The only root methods I have been able to find all involve using the NT16or8gbV4_7 image and I can not find a working link to the file. Is there another way to internally root and install a recovery so that I can flash roms?
Am preparing a boot2recovery from sdcard for helping new nook tablet users install roms.
Unzip and copy everything included in this zip package to the root of a fat32 sdcard and tell me if you can boot into cwm.

Sorry, should have put it in Q&A. Thanks for the response. If I unzip the files and copy them to my sdcard the nook still boots normally. They look like the files that are on my sdcard if I used windiskimager to write a bootable sdcard. Wouldn't I have to write stuff to the card and not just copy them over?
You must prepare the sd card for Nook compatibility booting
i bet you didn't.
If i remember well is 1st partition/70mb/fat32/named boot/and must be active.
Search around for answers or be patience until i find some time to prepare a new quide.

Yeah I had started to do that from one of the guides but had since re-formatted the card. Anyway I set it up as such and copied the files over. It's booting to Cyanoboot but I'm seeing "bboti: bad boot image magic (in memory)" and "Hold n for menu". Holding n does nothing.
Go into the stickies section there is a full guide with links to the files.

There is only one guide in the stickies on this page and that involves using ADB and the link to the instructional video is dead. The other guides I've found required the file I mentioned above which all lead to dead links. I was hoping for a bootable SD card then installing a recovery internally to the nook so that I can flash roms directly from the recovery as I've done with many other Android devices.
I figured it out, can a mod please delete this thread? Thanks for the help guys.

So I'm trying to install cyanogen rom on my lg optimus t and did everything i thought i was supposed to. PArtitioned the SD card and created folder 'AAA' where I placed the rom zxip file, per the attached instructions i was following. Wiped appropriate data and even did a backup via system recovery menu. However, when i went to flash the rom via the system recovery menu, I get E:no zip files found. I can't do a NAND restore either. I pretty certain that the zip file is on the sd card in the zip folder but can't get to it for some reason. Any body got any ideas? phone won't reboot either, stuck at the android splash screen.
Here's the instructions I was following //lgp500.wordpress.com/2011/07/07/gingerbread-cyanogenmod7-rc1-rjtchn-installation-guide/
you'll need to add the http prefix since forum policy won't let me post a link as a new user with less than 8 posts. Thanks.

Sigh. Did you copy the file before you partitioned the card? If yes, then you should have realised that the partitioning process will wipe all data on the sd card. Connect the phone to a computer and copy the zip file again.
yes the last thing i did was to copy the zip file the folder i created after partitioning. the folder was created on the fat32 part of the card. unfortunately, when i toggle the USB mass storage from the recovery menu, the drive doesn't show up on my computer. The phone won't start up now and so I can toggle it through the OS either. Is there some way to get the drive to show up when toggling the USB -MS through the recovery menu?
Possibly there were some errors when copying. If you have a card reader then try connecting the card to the computer through it. Else try partitioning again thorugh recovery, then see if the drive shows on the computer.
so i got the rom flashed and seems to be working but i'm not seeing the notification bar. anybody had this issue with cyanogenmod7-rc1?
Hem as far as getting your PC to recognize your phone when it
Plugged in the USB its prolly do to a lack of phone drivers. Don't know if the would be in the android sdk. Found allmy HTC phone drivers with it. And as far as the status bar h should be able able to change font colors St inthe cyanogenmod options under settings. Hope this helps some

Thanks all, I just reflashed the rom wand the notification bar was there and all seems to be working well. Thanks for all the good advice. Once I got a card reader and moved the zip files out of the folder I created and into the root directory of the card the phone saw them fine and was able flash the rom. I'll definitely download those drivers

If your phone is not rooted, then you can't have any ROM installed.

I backed up my ROM before flashing UnNamed rom. I need to flash back to stock. When I go to Restore in ClockworkMod Recovery, no files are found. I can see my backup file on the sd card but not when I choose "Restore". I have the file also zipped on SD card and I've put it in the main directory on phone. If I try to load it from zip file, it starts but then says "installation aborted" after a few seconds.
Is there a certain place this recovery file is supposed to be located?
Or is there something I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated. I have the backup file and CWM is working fine, just can't seem to get the two together.
Thanks

Sorry about that.
Suggestion: As you have written next to the other forums, put a qualifier in parenthesis after the Development Forum to help people narrow down where they should post when in doubt. eg After the General Forum you have (general chat, tips & tricks, etc).
Since it would of been alot to type out I made a video and to show the problems.
---> Video
I also tried running CM7 off a SD and it was a no go as well. The only thing that will boot off a SD is CWM.
Thank you for your help.

use this link and carefully follow directions-it will fix your problem if you can boot sdcard with these instructions
you will return to stock 1.4.0 factory - better than unusable
good luck!

The easiest way is to install cm9 alpha 0 (although it is an alpha, so be prepared for issues with the OS itself, plus remember that as an anti-profiteering measure it expires. read the full thread for more info....). When you use cyanoboot on emmc, you need to move the contents of boot.img and recovery.img so that they start at block 512. You can use dd or fastboot to put them on emmc...
See the original CyanoBoot thread as it talks about the above in a lot of detail, tho probably more than you need.
I read your post like five times I've flashed many Roms and did many things with phones and tablets. But I don't know what you mean by putting it at 512 or something I'm still a noob know how to flash move some things but when it comes to this I'm kind of lost

+1 to this, i'm trying to figuring out how to install it on emmc, in the post you get the idea of what you need to do but not how to do it, i mean what commands run,etc to install it. Say i want to test CM9 and want cyanoboot installed internally.
Could someone that has succesfully installed it internally (emmc) post proper instructions for this. TIA.

This may not be the exact answer you're looking for, but if you want to try it, just flash the newest CM9 (alpha 0.03) as it will install Cyanoboot to eMMC as well. I believe it's all contained in the CM9 boot.img.
There is no padding if you use flashing_boot.img on sdcard.
For emmc/internal, you need to pad flashing_boot_emmc.img to 512KB.
You have to pad flashing_boot_emmc.img correctly or else it can't find boot.img/recovery.img so you end in a bootloop.
dd if=/dev/zero of=flashing_boot_emmc.img bs=1 seek=524287 count=1
flashing_boot_emmc.img is then filled with zeros so the file size is 512KB. You then need to append boot.img or recovery.img to it.
cat flashing_boot_emmc.img boot.img > new_boot.img
Your new_boot.img can now be flash.
I haven't use cyanoboot, but bauwks 2ndboot method is the same except you need to pad it to 256KB.
You can gain cyanoboot by flashing my mmcblk0p2 i uploaded here, if you like

So I was going to root my galaxy s2 and first went into the recovery mode.
I went to locate the zip file to update through and I couldn't find it, I put the two zips needed in the main directory and when I go to recovery mode I can see my folders but not the zip files, I've checked twice.
Any help?
Solved
Sorry, I placed my two zips the internal sd but recovery was looking at external card.
My bad.

hey dude, at least dont be a noob when ur posting.
when u have new issue's please use the same thread u have created, by just editing ur thread title, rather than creating a new thread for each of ur issue's
u know what i am trying to tell u right.
so please see to it in the future, else people who really want to help will ignore u for the same.
because creating new threads unneccessarily and spamming is against XDA rules.
I understand, Its just I found I had a diffrent issue regarding SuperSU and not finding a zip file.
But I see what you mean and will do in the future.

I think the reason your post has not been answered is because we don't know exactly what you're asking. Also most answers are already posted. You just have to search and read them.
I'm not sure what you're doing myself, but I think you need to use Odin to flash CWM recovery and then use that recovery to flash ROMs, kernels, etc...
Since I really don't know what you're trying to do, you need to make sure what I said is REALLY what you need to do. By searching and reading you will find your answer.

tq very much.. right now, i'm trying to do just like u say, if it works, i'm in your debt..
what i meant was, that my android recovery system cannot detect the path to SD card, since the gt-p7500 did not have any SD Card slots, so i can't flash any .zip files from my tab.. Thanks so much..

One of the partitions on your tablet is mounted as /mnt/sdcard (or /sdcard). You normally push files there using USB from your computer, either using "adb push" or mounting the sdcard as a media device on the computer.
Stock recovery does not let you choose a file from the /sdcard directory. I think the errors you're seeing is that the stock recovery isn't finding the files it's looking for.
You'll need to install Clockwork Mod recovery if you want to flash custom ROMs.
Galaxy Tab doesn't have an SD Card slot, so anything with external storage/mounting USB/ etc won't work in recovery. Flashing a ROM is possible because the data partition is read and treated as SD Card. If you need to add something to your tab via USB while it's in recovery, you'll need to use the Android Debug Bridge and type adb push, then the file, then the destination.
Example:
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
