Hi guys,
I recently bought a Nook Color and i want to root it. I am hearing things about Autonooter and putting an image on my micro SD card. Personally i just want the best option to root my Nook, i want to overclock it aswell .
Really sorry if someone has already posted a thread like this, i tried searching for one.
I havent opened my Nook Color yet so guessing the software would be 1.0.0 so how would i root it to 1.1.1 and also stop OTA and install a overclocking software.
Thanks, XDA is amazing, recently rooted my Notion Ink Adam
I too would be interested in such a thing. There is information all over the place, but most seems to be geared toward people that understand the "lingo" and such...
I agree
reading MD5 hash
I'm pretty new to this- I have my NK running 1.0.1 using autonooter and want to update to 1.1. I think I've got a grip on using ClockworkMod, but in the instructions for downloading the 1.1 kernel, it says to "check the MD5 hash"- how do I get this info from the downloaded ZIP file? I don't want to even try and do the update without making sure the download is not corrupt.
Thanks!

I have to say though, to the OP, that reading through all the guides (and some comments) in the dev forums would be the best because you'll learn all the ins n outs. Having a noob guide is fine but it's fun searching for the info yourself and you'll learn/remember a lot more about your device. having a noob guide that is not comprehensive enough just promotes needless questions when the info is all over the place elsewhere.
Thanks for the link superkevx! Additionally, is there any way to do the check on the Nook itself? I downloaded it using the stock browser & can pull the SD card and check it on my 'puter, but it would be nice to be able to just do it locally.
I agree with you comment about the noob guide- I've learned so much trolling the dev forums...
i do try to find everything its just some things i dont get:
like clockworkmod, i think its to do with disabling OTA but im not sure
which is better,autonooter or installing on SD
,if you could answer these questions i would be really grateful thanks

Patrikc8- from my experience (have ROM Manager & Clockworkmod installed in prep for 1.1 update), Clockwork mod is used for making system backups and doing system restores (including installs of custom ROM's)
As far as the SD vs autonooter- installing to the SD means that you typically don't touch the original system files on the Nook itself- good for trying out a ROM that you are interested in but not sure you want to keep. There may be a performance hit though because you're constantly reading from the potentially slower SD media (correct me if I'm wrong on that anybody). I used autonooter to root my Nook and it has worked great since- it is apparently a very easy way to root and I had no trouble doing it.
Aha!

For what it's worth- did a little investigating & you can use Astro file manager to get the MD5sum- just do a long touch to the file in question and choose "Details".
SHould i use auto nooter 1.0.1 or the nook color v1.1.1 ROM?
and im guessing you have to root it first then install a rom then install a kernal?
would there be a big difference in 1.1.1 and 1.0.1 ?
I bought my Nook Color a couple of weeks ago. It was on 1.0.0. The first thing I did was update to 1.0.1. I then downloaded the Autonooter for 1.0.1 on my pc. I also installed Win32DiskImage.exe on my pc, and followed the directions to burn the image to my sd card. I followed the instructions exactly as they are laid out on nookdevs. I then reformatted my sd card back to normal to use for storage in my device.
One thing that happens when you run autonooter is that clockwork recovery is installed. This is simply a tool that will allow you to perform functions at a lower level than the android interface will allow. It my look a little intimidating at first, but go slow, and make sure you are absolutely sure that anything you do in CWR matches what it is listed in the instructions posted. Every action requires a confirmation, so, again, go slow and think it through.
A few days later, the 1.1.1 update came out. I used the updated Rom and instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145
Something that I found confusing is using alternate home screens. I finally determined that Zeam was the right choice for me. It is free in the market. The other tool you should download from the market is called Home Switcher. It will let you switch between different launchers (e.g. Zeam, BN stock home, etc.). Again, you will probably have to experiment a bit to get things working the way you like.
Lastly, to improve the performance overall, I flashed a few different kernels. You may want to play with your nook for a while to get comfortable first. When you choose to flash a kernel, you will boot into recovery (this brings up the Clockwork Recovery program), and pick the zip file that you download to your sd card. My recommendation is to start with the 900mHz kernel first. Make sure your nc is stable, then try some of the faster ones.
As far as MD5s, I have not ever checked after downloading, and have not had any problems as a result. It is something I need to investigate further and start doing.
Hope this helps. I do agree with superkevx above. Browse and search and experiment. It is very unlikely that you will do any permanent damage to your nook, although it is possible. Everyone needs to have at least one bricked device along the way. I have learned more by rendering my devices inoperable and then figuring out how to get them back again. You know you're doing it right if your palms are a little sweaty as you wait for your device to reboot.
you guys have been great , thank you
Hi wonderful people of XDA!
I just got my Nook Color used on craigslist and now I'm just wondering what to do next. I did a lot of reading up on these forums (and the android development part of the forums) and found out that I could root it with autonooter 3.0 and monster rootpack.
However, is there a benefit of keeping the firmware at 1.0.1 (the way I got it) and rooting it VS updating it to 1.1.0 and rooting it?
What are the pros and cons if any? I see that 1.1 adds a bit of new features to the NC, but I also heard that Clockworkmod Recovery doesn't like 1.1, or something. I remember briefly reading that somewhere on these forums but it could have been old news, or outdated and recently fixed. Regardless, I'm just sort of confused.
And after rooting, what should I do? Is Froyo completely stable and smooth yet?
TIA!
The 1.0.1 version has more support right now but the 1.1.0 support will certainly improve over time. For now i would recommend running nookie froyo off of a bootable sd card and leaving your nook stock. Then if you want to take the next step, do an emmc flash of froyo and never look back...
With that said, the 1.1 version rooted with the scripts on it works really smoothly.
The best thing about the nook color is how easily it can be put back completely stock, so you don't have to worry much about messing it up.
Enjoy
Nice. Thanks for the quick reply!
So I'll update to the 1.1.0 firmware and root. Do you recommend autonooter or monster rootpack? And what scripts are you talking about?
TIA, once again, haha...
I think the autonooter is easier for your first mod. The monster rootpack is a great recovery tool and highly recommended to have on an extra sd card.
Get a few 2-4gb sd cards, class 4 is fine. Should be pretty cheap and easy to find. Then you can make a bunch of bootable cards to play with like honeycomb and froyo.
Alright cool,
autonooter it is. Will I still be able to get CWMRecovery? I still want to overclock and the only way I know how to flash is through cwmrecovery.
Sorry for all these questions!
I've read some folks are having issues getting stuck in CWM on 1.1 but don't remember why. Poke around in the devl threads and see.
Sent from my nootered Nook Color.
I hear the best is to:
run oobe.
turn off wifi
update to 1.0.1 if not already on it (NOT 1.1)
run autonooter 2.3.x
install CWM (or does autonooter do that?)
nandroid restore stock rooted 1.1
then you have working CWM and 1.1 if i am not mistaken? This is my plan, mine is in the box, waiting to open it on my bday!

No, Autonooter does not install CWM. You need to download ROM Manager from Market and install CWM from within ROM Manager. Good luck and happy birthday!
I'm new to Android and tablets and have never had a smart phone. However, I am in the computer field and am relatively technical. At the very least, I'm intelligent and can follow clear directions.
Where I'm running into trouble is that, because this is all so new to me, I'm lost when reading a lot of these forums, because I have no idea what all these terms mean or what things are.
Here's where I'm at with my Nook Color. Got it a week ago, rooted it with AutoNooter 3.0, got ADB working (finally) over USB. YouTube works. Can get my email. Using Launcher Pro and Dolphin HD. That's about it.
I'm unclear about a few things, and I realize they're pretty basic. But I've searched and searched and can't find clear answers. Hopefully, someone here can help me:
1. How do I know what version of Android I've got on this thing. Nowhere can I find a place to see the version number. And the AutoNooter 3.0 page didn't tell me what version it installs. 2.2?
2. Does Flash work on this or not? This is related to question 1, because I need to at least know what Android version I'm using before I can even beging to search to figure out whether Flash works with it.
3. What is CM7?
4. I tried installing Flash101.apk with ADB, but get the message: INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK. Again, I'd like to know what this means, but what I've read says the Flash version is for an newer Android version. So, we're back to... what version of Android is on this thing?
As fas as the rest, does anyone know if there's anything out there that goes over basic terms for those of us completely new to Android and tablets/phones and rooting them? Much of the instructions I read refer to things I've never heard of and, when I try looking up those terms, I just get more terms I've never heard of.
Thanks!
1) You have 2.1 (Eclair)
2) No, you need 2.2. There are several options, including simply running it from an SD card or flashing it to memory (eMMC)
3) CM7 is andrioid 2.3. Good stuff, but still a work in progress.
4) See #2
Thanks very much for responding.
Regarding your answers:
1. Is there a place on the Nook where I can find this?
2. Can you recommend a link to a method for getting this? Is it an upgrade, or would I be completely re-rooting this thing and having to reconfigure everything?
Any suggestions on some basic information for newbies?
Thanks again!
Sorry, I don't think I understand the question. Could you specify what you mean by "this"? Thanks.
Sorry, not sure which question you're referring to.
1. This = The version currently running on it.
2. This = Version 2.2
I can't be certian since I have moved to a CM7 variant, but I think it might be under settings either about or device information.
If you rooted with Autonooter you are on Android 2.1 Eclair. If you are running a froyo rom you are on Android 2.2. If on a CM7 based Rom you are on gingerbread android 2.3

CM7 (Cyanogenmod 7) is a custom rom, which is a custom operating system that replaces your current one. If you are not familiar with Android yet or rooting, I would stick with autnooter for now. Phiremod beta 2 is a stable custom rom with flash, but you need clockwork recovery first to install it.
Yeah, checked those places Wile E, but didn't see it there. Thanks, though.
stelv, would that run off the card or internally? If it runs off the card, I could try it out without messing up what I've already got, right?

Most custom rom installs (phiremod) would erase what you have now completely. You would have to redownload programs and use the nook color app from market for books. You could use titanium backup to backup and restore apps. There is a thread here and on androidtablets.net for phiremod beta 2.
But there may be a version of froyo that runs off sdcard but I am not sure how stable that is. If you are running froyo from an sdcard and mess with the nook internally, it may mess your nook up when you remove the card and try to go back to your old setup.
The good thing with the beta 2 version of phiremod is that you can restore a previous version of the nook from the clockwork recovery menu if you have cwr installed. That is if you make a backup first through cwr on your autonooter version of nook.
If you decide to go the route of a custom rom I would check out the how to on androidtablets.net about clockworkmod recovery first.
sent from my rooted nook color
Thanks for all the info. When you say "custom roms," are you referring to any rooting of your Nook Color? Is the version of Android I have after running the AutoNooter 3.0 considered a custom rom? Or did I just merely strip off some of the "skin" Barnes & Noble has on there, 'cause it didn't seem very much like I'd started over, but more like I "got past" something that was already on there and, therefore, opened up more functionality. Does that make any sense? I'm getting the feeling that Nookie Froyo and CM7 completely wipe your Nook and give you a fresh OS. Yes?

Ok here is another long book by me, sorry for the long posts
Yes, Nookie Froyo, CM7, Phiremod give you an entirely new OS.
Custom roms are not any rooting. They are entirely different android operating systems so to speak. Most require one to wipe the devices internal Rom (Read Only Memory) in order to put a new one on. This is sort of risky as it erases everything, but is made less risky by using stable custom roms in combo with clockwork recovery. If the internal memory gets messed up and the procedures for instaling a custom rom are not followed or an error happens, your device will be unusable until fixed (fixed usually by booting CWR off sdcard and installing a stock image). Please do research and ask around XDA or androidtablets before installing a custom rom to know what the ups and downs of it are.
Also please keep in mind on the Nook certain Roms like CM7 require a different version of CWR and require a workaround to work as of now. It can be kind of tricky to install. Phiremod Beta2 can be installed through normal recovery. Check us out over at http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/nook/ if you want. There are a lot of useful guides over there.
Yes autonooter just opens up functionality
Autonooter is not a custom Rom. It is just the method of rooting or unlocking your android device. Rooting an Android device makes you system administrator of the device. This is so you can do things beyond what B&N lets you do with the device like use the Android market.
This is what I did with my Nook. Autnootered it>installed Clockwork Recovery>Made a backup with Clockwork Recovery>Then Installed Phiremod beta2 through clockwork recovery as per the instructions for that rom
Thanks again for this. I appreciate you taking the time to explain this to a newbie. It's beginning to make much more sense now. For now, I'll stick with what I've got, keep reading and then go from there.
Ugh. Authentication error while reading a book and then a reset, and I'm back to the beginning. Except worse, because even navigation while reading a book doesn't work right. Anyone experience this?
Sorry I don't have that issues so I am not sure. Maybe its a password issue?
Perhaps. Don't know. Starting over from scratch. All I know is that it happened when I was merely reading a book, about ten minutes after trying to login to Google Talk with a different Google account than the one I used during the AutoNooter process.
Who knows...
So we just bought a nook color and she is still new to it. Obviously, she reads lots of books and I... well, want to make this into a tab and play w/ it. She might want to do web browsing and install some games/apps, but primarily will be used as an e-reader.
What rom (if any) do you suggest I flash? Or will I be better off just rooting the device and leaving it as is (w/ market)? She has no patience for developmental stuff so looking for something stable but also something I can play with

Root the Stock and leave it. its the most stable rom.
Make your own SD card, running Nookie Froyo or CyanogenMod. When you take the card out and reboot, her machine is completely back to normal, or so I'm told. You both get to have what you want.
I can run CM from SD card w/o rooting the device!? if so... sweet, I saw sum tuts but still educating myself. Rooting and leaving stock is also a good idea, however I heard B&N is able to update your device thus losing root... Is this true?
For her, it sounds like just rooting would be the best option, since it has the market, all of the B&N features, and is stable. As mentioned above, running a ROM from the sd card is a good option for you. After rooting it, you could format the sd card used to root, and then load a ROM such as CM7, Froyo, or Honeycomb from the SD card to play with.
This way, she has her mostly stock setup, and you have your tablet setup that you can load by just popping in the sd card and rebooting. When you're done playing with it, power down, pop the sd card out, reboot, and it's back to her setup.
If you do decide to run a ROM from the sd card, make sure to get at least a class 4 (sandisk class 4 4GB works well for me). Then, if you find something that would work for both of you, you could look at flashing to internal EMMC for better speed/performance. Another option is dual-booting between ROMs, which you can find more about in the development section.

There is a thread in the dev section on how to block the updates. Here's a link to the sd card version of CM7 you asked about. You don't have to root first, but you can.

As suggested I'd root the stock software for the wife, and when you want to play choose a ROM that can run from the sdcard and you will be good to go.
Currently I run 4 different setups. Stock rooted on internal mem. Then I setup 3 different sdcards to mess around with Honeycomb, CM7, and Froyo from time to time.

You do not have to root it first. All you have to do is create a live SDcard with Clockwork ROM manager put the SDCard in and boot it up holding the n and the power button in > wipe > flash CM7.
With this device reading off the SD first you do not have "antonoot" first.
I've ran CM7, Honeycomb and a few others. My personal choice is stock rooted device is perfect.

Thanks for everyone's input...
She gonna be using it 75% of the time, so I decided to root and leave it as is. Everything works good. I tried to do nookie froyo off SD card but had too much trouble w/ adb, i'll save it for another week. But for now, stock root works good. Got Zeam and Home switcher to help both of us out
I wanted to point out the only downside of rooted stock is that she cannot use in the in-store B&N features! If she plans on using that (i've heard they have not only the hour of reading free, but also sometimes offer deals and events) then you might wanna not be rooted and use the SD card. I know this is a little late to tell you as you already did it, but I thought I'd let you know anyway.

I'll throw this in for whenever you feel like creating a bootable SD CARD to play with. I've found that higher class sd cards make a much bigger difference in how fast/well the rom operates than you might think.
I apologize in advance if this has been asked before, but I searched and couldn't find anything.
I never rooted my Nook Color (firmware 1.4.3) because I like the simplicity of it and I only really wanted to read books on it.
However now I wanted to install other readers so that I could read other formats without having to convert to epub or pdf.
I tried downgrading to 1.2.0 but it still doesn't let me install other apps.
What would be my best option?
Is there any way to do this without rooting?
I'm not afraid of tweaking, I just prefer the stock firmware to use as an ebook reader.
Best regards,
Rita
Best Option According to me
Rita,
Sincerely the best option for you right now is to run CyanogenMod 7 off an SD Card, a port of Android 2.3 for your device. I have a Nook Color too. I used to love stock but the lack of functionality made me install CM7. There are many easy to follow guides available on the internet. If you would like I can tell you how to install CM7 on an SD Card. That way you can enjoy both stock and CM7. Cheers!

You can do what the prior user recommended (CM7 on SD) and also go back to the latest stock software on internal memory and root it. Then you can decide which you want to use. If you look in my tips thread linked in my signature you will see how to flash the lastest unrooted stock software with CWM recovery. Look at my item A12. Then you can root it with Manual Nooter 5.08.20. You can add other apps with unrooted stock but only from the B&N app store. If you want more apps than that, you must root.
@satya-1998: I've already tried installing CM7 on a sd card and I liked it, just not for reading. As an ebook reader I really enjoy the simplicity of the stock firmware.
@leapinlar: I've already put the latest firmware on the nook (1.4.3) and I think rooting will be my best option. Will rooting and using manual nooter 5.8.20 keep the B&N functions and allow me to install other apps?
Do you think following this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494901) would be the way to go?
Thank you both for your help, Rita
