i am using this root guide from malloneem - Nook Tablet 1.4.3 complete root guide for 8or16gb to GB and JB. i have successfully rooted but my NT will not recognize that I have the .zip file - cm-7-TEAM-B-BETA1-signed.zip I've installed on a sandisk 8gb microsd. I can see the files when the sd card is in my computer but the NT says - FILE NOT FOUND when I try to load zip from sd. I've formatted and reload files several times but with no success. Am I missing a step?

I have to ask, since it may render your line of questioning somewhat moot: Is there a reason why you're trying to load such an old version of android? Why not use version 10.1 instead of 7?

Ultimately was going to install sgt7-10-20121209-meghd00t-acclaim The thread I was following recommended installing CM-7 first then CM-10. Just new enough at this I was trying to follow a simple but complete guide.
Understandable. I expect (read: hope) that an 'official' install guide will be released by the CM team as soon as it leaves release candidate status and is declared "stable". In the meantime, you might find some help here in these forums.
digixmax has particularly good instructions here. They're for version 10, not 10.1. I'm not sure if he has a 10.1 specific version but I couldn't find it in the 10 seconds I took searching for it. Just use newer versions of files as follows:
The newest version of cwm_6.0.*.*_acclaim_recovery_sdcard.img from here instead of the others in step 2b.
The newest version of CM from here instead of the one in step 2c.
The newest gapps-jb-2013* from here for step 2d.
If you run in to problems, be sure to clearly indicate exactly which steps you did (don't just say "I did all the steps").
Good luck!

A special thanks to all developers out there, without all of you this community would not be as great as it is.
Please Note: If you are the developer of an app that is included in this work, and would like me to remove it, feel free to contact me.
*I am copying the following step from the original auto-nooter, because they are tried and true, and people are already familiar with seeing them*
What it does:
Installs su and Superuser.apk
Installs Busybox with whoami
Installs Softkeys 3.0.6
Installs NookColor Tools (To Enable Non-Market Installs, and re-enable ADB)
Installs Calendar and Calculator.
Installs Android Market, Gmail, Youtube
Installs Gingerbread Keyboard
Enable ADB
Enable Multi-touch for Android Apps
Enables Live Wallpapers
Enables Android Market and Gmail.
App Auto Install (Open up NooterFiles from sdcard drop in /data/app)
Known Problems:
With the version 1.1 update, ADB will not stay active after a reboot or unplug of the cable. To enable each time you want to use it, you will have to go into NookColor Tools /All Settings/Development/USB debugging, you will have to uncheck the box and then recheck it.
How to Use:
Before you begin:
* To update to 1.1 you must do a complete wipe.
* You must update to 1.1 to use Auto-Nooter 3.0.0 Instructions HERE.
1 You must already have a registered NOOKcolor
2 You must have a Gmail/Youtube linked Account. IF you used a Gmail account for B&N Registration you should use that one for this process.
3 You must either have dd (Linux) or WinImage (Windows) software.
4 You must have an external microSDCard reader or this will not work. Do NOT use the NC.
5 You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.
Let's get started:
1 Download Auto-Nooter from here: MultiUpload or MediaFire
*MD5 FB74865663B8D797A486A85022FAD9B2*
2 Linux: Unzip and use dd if=auto-nooter-3.0.0.img of=/dev/sdcard
2 Windows: Unzip and use WinImage to "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image" to your SDcard.
2 Windows Alternative: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download
3 Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)
4 Insert AutoNooter SDcard into your NOOKcolor.
5 Plug the USB cable into your computer and your NOOKcolor. (This will boot up the NOOKcolor.)
6 Your NookColor will reboot when it's done.
That was the hard part, now to the simple stuff.
7 Upon boot unlock your screen.
8 At the Android Welcome Screen skip Sign In.
9 Enable Location Services when given the option.
10 Connect to Wifi and launch Youtube from "Extras".
11 Click the Menu button (The one RIGHT of the Up Arrow).
12 Select "My Channel" and Login using your Gmail Account.
13 Exit Youtube and Launch Gmail from "Extras".
14 Sync your Gmail Account and Exit. (If it fails to sync that is fine.)
15 Open up Market and Accept Terms and Service.
If you made it this far your nook should be successfully Rooted. Go Download an App to make sure.
16 Enable Non-Market Installs by running the NookColor Tools App.
17 If your Youtube fails to launch, download the attached EVO HQ, and follow this code in adb
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb uninstall com.google.android.youtube
adb push YouTube.apk /system/app
adb reboot
18 Go to Settings > Device Info > SdCard > UnMount > Format
Complete Wipe:
1 8 Failed Boots > Wipes /system
2 Factory ResetFactory Reset > Wipes /data
*You must do both of these to completely wipe clean your NOOKcolor.*
*Before anyone starts to say that I took this project away from GabrialDestruir, I posted this file in the original post, and sent the OP a PM asking to update the current project. I have yet to hear back, and the post was not updated. My post can be found HERE, dated February 2, 2011. I felt that this would be of a benefit to the community, so I am posting it now.

Forgive my ignorance here, but I thought you were never supposed to use the NC to format your SD card? (last step)
I thought I read somewhere that it messes up something in the emmc?
Hopefully I'm wrong and just paranoid

I have never really seen an explanation as to why you don't format on the NC. I have formated via the NC and the card works fine both in the NC and my PC. When I want to burn an image, I have been able too. Been able to flash other images on it too.
Excellent!
Can you please add an MD5 to the first post?

Formatting the SDcard doesn't touch the onboard storage. It is one of the easier ways to remove bonus partitions to recover the full card. UPDATE: I should clarify this: when running Eclair internally.

You're thinking of Nookie Froyo. The stock B&N system is fine for formatting the card.
I think formatting the SD card is an issue when you use one of the Froyo images and boot from eMMC. When you format the SD card it actually formats the internal boot partition or some such. I remember reading it in one of the threads which led me to only boot the Froyo images from an external card.
I am at 1.1.0. When did 1.1.1 appear & how do I get it?
BTW Is this exactly the same as the interim A-N 2.12.25 modified for 1.1?

I'd say it's a typo and should be v1.1?

And if there is benefits, can we use the auto nooter?
Just for clarification, in steps 3 & 4 should the NC be turned off? I have never been sure if it matters, but the following statement makes me think that it should be off,
"5 Plug the USB cable into your computer and your NOOKcolor. (This will boot up the NOOKcolor.)"

I guess it should be the same, but I had a couple of games break after up'ing with 1.1_r2. So I wanted to try stock/clean 1.1 and then root...hoping this would bring them back.
help please
I'm having a problem rooting my nook color. 2 weeks ago I was fully rooted and for some reason I forget why? but I went back to stock. recently I updated to the newest Barnes & noble firmware. seeing the recent developments of honeycomb I wanted to root my nook again. so I tried downgrading to firmware before the most recent update and using that version of auto nooter. I followed the instructions exactly to a tee. the problem is my nook wont load the disk image from the sd card. I made sure to fully format the sd card before writing the img with Win32DiskImager. I made sure the nook was completely off then plugging in the usb to into the pc to wake up the nook. but nothing? the nook boots up like normal then says sd card damaged. I've formatted the sd card again and have used the newest nooter for my current 1.1. but nothing. the only difference is the first time I rooted I was at my mothers and used her pc. it was a windows vista 64 bit. my computer is windows seven 64 bit. anyone have any idea's as to why the nook wont load the sd card with the nooter image? I'm using the same sd card I was able to root from before. so I seriously doubt its the sd card. I am properly formatting it before writing the img. I am having no problem writing the img. any help would be appreciated

You probably have a bad burn on the sdcard. Are you writing to the sdcard from the sd card reader or from the nook? Also, if you return to stock, (8 failed boots, then Power+N) You should be on firmware 1.0.0 or 1.0.1. Then root using one of the two original auto nooters, download rom manager from the market and flash the 1.1 pre-rooted firmware.
Thanks buddy, I try doing that. and I don't have an sd card reader so I just put the sd card that I'm going to write into my cell phone. then mount the sd card and write the img to the same storage device that represents the sd card. I'm sure this is the wrong way of doing it but I have gotten root doing the same thing before
Giving this a go now, coming from auto-nootered 1.0.1.
To someone who has not worked with tablets before, but has good computer knowledge. I sure would like to see (even pay for) a step by step from the beginning of a stock updated gtab, rooting to loading roms. Are we supposed to z4root, clockwork, backup, just load a rom. The guides are great that are here, but none of them are consistant. I could eventually after several months make heads or tales, sure would like some opinions and how will this effect the fact that we know honeycomb is coming I assume, What is the stable rom to use?
Thanks for your consideration.
I feel your pain. I recently received my $279 gtab. I needed to put it to use right away and was afraid to flash it until I had more time to study the issues involved.
It took me a few days to figure out what to do. I ended up installing the Vegan 7 ROM using Clockworkmod 8.
This post was the most helpful:

There is another one I cannot find now, but author also has a blog with some instructions (google search fugatech)
Some more info to install CM8:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865017
I installed clockworkmod on my external sdcard (sdcard2). I used the sdcard slot on my computer to transfer files to sdcard2 of my gtab -- just like you would a thumb drive -- by unzipping the downloaded file directly to the sdcard
I partitioned as explained and deleted caches that mentioned in cwm menu items
I used cwm to connect my gtab to my pc via usb. I used my pc to create a folder on gtab intermal storage (sdcard) named "ROM." I then copied the whole vegan zip file to the ROM folder
There is a menu item in cwm that will flash your rom. All I needed to do was to browse to the zip file I copied to the rom folder and let it do its work
I didn't have to do the market fix
Went to Market and downloaded latest flash player.
The whole thing takes only a few minutes once you are ready. Once you hace CWM installed and see the menus things will be come clearer. I suggest you forget about the ROMs and just install Clockworkmod and take a look at it. Then go get Vegan 7.
It seems a lot of time is spent, and threads created, by people just trying to figure out where to start.....especially considering that the process itself is very simple.
hello all, just picked up the Nook Tablet (16g) - and of course i am wanting to root it. i have followed all the instructions from turning on USB debugging and updating my Drivers so the device is recognized as Android ADB (which took a long time) now i am trying to run the NookandZergy.bat file. it will not show any devices here. not sure what i am doing wrong.. i have tried several times and no joy. i am doing all of this with Win7 system if that matters ( i tried running Zergy as administrator also).

I can't help you as far as the method you described above is concerned, but I can tell you from having rooted mine several times now that Albert's SD Card method (version 4.50) is super simple and has worked great for me. No Windows drivers to mess with, etc. He lays it out pretty straightforward. I use a 4gb SD card - can't remember if a 2gb will work or not. Give it a try if you got an sd card laying around.

Hi,
What is easiest, latest and safest way to root NT 1.4.1 ?
This one from Brianf21, which looks simple ?
Bootable Root SDCard 1.4.0 and 1.4.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488035
Or any other SD card method (like the one mentioned above - Albert Wertz's SDNTV4.5) ?
What are advantages of each ?

thats the method i used literally after booting up tablet and making screen work i powered it down and rooted it using that image file. It all just depends on what you want if you want debloated no B&N stuff or you want stock but rooted with OTA updates blocked.
Personally I just rooted so I could install CWM and install cm7 I had no interest in stock or anything B&N.
Thanks nba1341.
I would like to keep B&N funcionality, but prevent OTA and be able to download/install apps from different android markets and web sites. Also, I would like to be able to unroot the device if necessary (go back to original B&N software).
Which SD method should I use (Brianf21 ?) ?
And one final question before I start the work, do I need to go through initial registration process on my brand new 16 GB NT ver 1.4.1 before starting the rooting procedure ?
I hope that rfronz1 will find this clarification useful too.
Thanks for help.
I am with a Nook Tablet 16gb that was purchased with 1.4.0 and is now with 1.4.2. I was happy sideloading on 1.4.0, but now understand I have to go rooting...
I have been trying several methods, and just can't get it though. One problem is I am in Africa, and downloading 100MB images takes more than 2h and recurrently fails with size mismatches or other errors before the end
Now, I am sure I should be able get Indirect's methods work, but end up with some nothingness...:
1> Indirect's method one: "make a magic SD card to load up CWM, and root their device"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21895025&postcount=14
I go through all steps with no problem, run CWM. However, for the last step to install zip from CWM:
- I guess it refers to the CWM_SD_flash_and_exe.zip again? It tells me fail to install, and the log says ""failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state: no such file or directory""
- I also tried using NT-CWM-SD.zip provided elsewhere by Sprint (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583à), same thing
2> Indirect method two: "How to root 1.4.1 (or any other version) using just an sdcard {easy}"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583
I tried the 1st (non windows) approach, that was creating a partition on the SDcard myself (did with Acronis Disk Director Suite, worked well),
I did the partition, copied the required files on the root of SD card, got CWM running. But then, the tutorial says:
Now you just need to download this zip file:
http://goo-inside.me/apps/Indirect/N...s_and_root.zip
just put onto the /mnt/media/ directory or you can push to /emmc/ while in CWM.
I am not sure I understand these instructions... I got the Gapps_and_root.zip onto my SDcard root, used CWD mode to unzip & install it successfully.
After that I reboot... I think it asks me to reset the tablet (someway like I have no choice), and then opens the Nook wizard and I cant get anything else out of it.
3> CM7 alpha final
I am now trying to use the CM7 method through SD card (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826) but dont succeed to download the required 120MB file... (Team-B-CM7SD-Alpha_final.img.zip)
=> So... any help or idea to get out of this?
NB: I am computer savy but not Android expert (though I killesed myself twice to install android market on chinese devices and learnet something), I can use a SDcard reader or USB cable but dont know to run ADB or alike. Again, I have trouble to download huge files!
Thanks a lot to help me... I am pulling my hair here already 3 days
I understand the experts are on this forum, and hope to get some help or I ll get mad and my husband's Xmas present will go useless... (he is Mozambican and we found out B&N has no portuguese books! I need Kindle.. and few other apps!)

Sorry, yes. I have now asked the moderator.
Sideloading still with Sideload Wonder Machine?
In the meantime, I ve found in this great sticky post:
NT Reference Thread | Tips & Tricks | How to's | Videos | NEWBIE?
It talks of this Windows programme to sideload any apps.
http://www.androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine
I wonder if that still can work on Nook 1.4.2 (unrooted)?
Please help understand the instructions

[MODS/HACKS/THEMES] Nook Tablet ONE-STOP-SHOP for CM7 | UPDATE! March/12
Hi,
I understand this thread is not supposed to be for newbies, yet I am not an expert, but every other method I tried failed (Indirect's method, etc, see here) and I am having troubles (from Africa) downloading big files, so this one I got and I am willing to try because I really need to get out of Nook rom. Though I'd love some advice
I am with a Nook 16Gb Tablet that I got with 1.4.0 and had sideloaded apps. Now it is on 1.4.2 and I have reset everyting in various previous attemps, so it is quite clean. Unrooted. I have a SD card, a disk partitionning software, and a USB cable, but no ADB.
My goal is, minimum, to be able load few apps (Kindle, a radio I like, etc), and if it is rooted and with access to Market, even better, then I'll do even more.
Luckily, I have been able to download the various files in this post.
My questions:
1> internal or SD ?
Which method you think is simplier and more stable?
2> Stable versions now?
It looks like these versions have started as beta, but been improved; Could they be considered stable now?
I saw there are other ones out there, but I could not succeed download them ("Team-B-CM7SD-Alpha_final.img_001.zip")
4> Requirements
Do I understand well there are no special requirements before starting that? Can be on unrooted device, 1.4.2?
3> reading the instructions...
I am not so expert and may need some help:
1. Download the file of the mod you pick
=> OK
2. Copy the zip file in the root (/) of Internal OR External SDcard (Pick one)
=> OK for external. But if you talk of internal, does it mean the tablet should already be rooted?
3. Verify md5 of the file >> ES File Explorer>Properties let you check md5
=> Is this step compulsory? How do you do that with an unrooted tablet and no ES file explorer in?
4. Boot into CWM
=> This I knew to do with Indirect method. Does it mean I should have done that before? Or the img file provided here will enable me do it ?
4.1 Go to Backup & restore>> Backup your current ROM if you haven't already
=> ok
4.2 Format system, Wipe cache, advanced>> Wipe dalvik cache
=> Is this step compulsory? How do you exactly do that, all from CWM?
4.3 Re-flash CM7 ROM
=> Does that just mean to reboot?
4.4 Flash the mod
=> Does that just mean to reboot? apparently not... then how?
5. Reboot your device. ENJOY!
I am sorry for beeing so basic, but I am sure I ma not the only one...
Thanks for the precious help!
If you are just trying to root the device, try this thread

Does this mean the NT must be rooted BEFORe going for this CM7 procedure?
Years ago, I installed CyanogenMod onto an old Samsung phone with no trouble. A few weeks back, I was given a Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet 16 GB. The UI is pretty limited and I don't want a B&N account, so I thought I'd unleash the beast and install the full Android OS on it.
I read through various HOWTOs including "Install CM for acclaim" from the CyanogenMod Wiki.
I have formatted an 8 GB SD-card with a single FAT32 partition which has been flagged as bootable.
I downloaded and extracted CWM-based-Recovery v5.5.0.4 to the SD-card.
The device booted to recovery mode OK.
I first tried to install "cm-13.0-20160629-NIGHTLY-acclaim".
It failed with the well known OTA update / Status 7 error.
Reading up on this, the main advice is to try an earlier version, maybe even the last stable release.
I then tried "cm-10.2.1-acclaim" which is from all the way back in 2014.
It failed with just "E: Error in /sdcard/cm-10.2.1-acclaim Status 0.
A web search didn't return anything useful.
Next up, I tried the next release CM11: "cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-acclaim".
I got the same failure as with CM10.
Finally I tired the last snapshot before the latest nightly releases: "cm-13.0-20160418-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2NI-acclaim"
This time it is back to the Status 7 failure.
Considering all the successful HOWTOs I have read and the procedure is basically the same in each one and I have tried searching these forums.
I can only assume I am missing something really basic.
I checked on whether I need to root the device, as I had to with the old Samsung phone, but it seems the B&N Nook Tablet has root access by default.
So, can someone please help?
Thanks!

A web search didn't return anything useful.
Next up, I tried the next release CM11: "cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-acclaim".
I got the same failure as with CM10.
Finally I tired the last snapshot before the latest nightly releases: "cm-13.0-20160418-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2NI-acclaim"
This time it is back to the Status 7 failure.
Considering all the successful HOWTOs I have read and the procedure is basically the same in each one and I have tried searching these forums.
I can only assume I am missing something really basic.
I checked on whether I need to root the device, as I had to with the old Samsung phone, but it seems the B&N Nook Tablet has root access by default.
So, can someone please help?
Thanks!

The CWM version you are trying to use is too old, I think, even for CM 10.2
Thanks, I thought it might be something like that, but one tutorial said it didn't matter. I have been trying to find a newer version of ClockworkMod, but can only find image (img) files that don't seem to work: I used the gnome-disk-utility 3.10.0, UDisks 2.1.3 to write the image (recovery.img extracted from flashable_CWM_6.0.4.8_chrmhoffmann.zip), but it just makes an empty SD-card - that is, when I check the card with GParted, there are no usable partitions.
I have just found "cm-13.0-20160629-NIGHTLY-acclaim-recovery.img" but I cannot find any clear instructions what to do with it next.
Do I just write the image to the SD-card with the image writer? Because then I get a warning that the target disk is over7 GB bigger than the image and end up with an empty SD-card.

I can't speak to the CM 13 since I haven't gone there (yet). I followed the excellent instructions by @digixmax for CM 10.2 and (more recently) CM 12.1. In some cases there is no working CWM version and you have to use a version of TWRP. Late in the second thread there are a variety of file combinations people found that worked for them. But the instructions--if followed exactly--work, or at least they did for me.
TWRP worked perfectly for me. However I had to flash CM10.2 before I could go higher, otherwise trying to flash CM13 made TWRP reboot outright with no warnings while on stock. I'm sure since it was on Android 2.3 it needed to have the newer partition table to install to.
