I just opened my Nook just now, I set it up thinking it was harmless. Unfortunately, just as I went to go root...I saw that there was a break or something? Does anything work on it now or do I need to play the waiting game again?
I don't know about the HD but there is a root for 2.0.5 that can be mod via CWM, and since this modified CWM is only working for HD+ you probably have to wait. Hopefully somebody will make a modified CWM for the the HD soon that's compatible. The current CWM for HD is meant for the CM10 which write changes to the sd card. So, yes you have to wait, unless you got the HD+ and not HD.

I'm more curious about just getting the google play store on it. That root?
Even for Nook HD, not HD+, your probably doesn't come with 2.0.5 out of the box. If you want GAPPS that much, and doesn't need to use Nook store yet, you can try to force yourself back to older firmware and then you can skip OOBE and then apply all-in-one mod. This should work for HD as well as HD+.
Damnit
Had Root working splendidly on 2.0.4 then Nook HD made a weird ring noise and said there was an update. I didn't want it and said no, but there it was after turning it off and back on again a few hours later after fiddling with GAPPS. I don't really want to factory reset, and have been searching for a way to reroot without bringing back to to previous version. So far it looks as though the directory just won't get made for some reason or another. On the plus side 2.0.5 does get rid of all those pesky multiple copies of every media file you have (but really on have one copy of)

Right now it's only for HD+.
Just for kicks, can I ask why the HD+ has a working root and not the HD? Shouldn't it be the same thing since it's basically the same device and firmware?
I really hope the root for 2.0.5 on the HD is out soon. I'm not in any way a developer, so I am at the mercy of this fabulous forum. I just want the Play store and GAPPS. I'm not one of those who bought it just to put CM or something on it (as there seems to be many like that here). If I just wanted the Android experience, I would have bought a Nexus 7. However, I wanted a 7" e-reader that I thought I might add GAPPS to at some point. My iPad (or any 10" screen) is too big to read on enjoyably, IMHO. I can only hope that a lot of devs got this nice device for Christmas and will want to root it ASAP. Anyway, this post is now officially all over the place, so I'll stop the ranting. Merry Christmas to all!
I just joined this board to ask virtually the same thing and have the same opinion as you. I'm not a developer! And as a primarily iPhone/Apple user am pretty in the dark about rooting/sideloading/CM10 etc. I just bought a Nook assuming I'd either A. get Jellybean on it somehow B. be able to at least access the play store or even C. be content with the stock Nook experience. I think C would be the case if it had ANY games/apps. It's truly a worthless app marketplace.

The answer to both past users is the all-in-one root does work on the HD (for versions 2.0.4 and older). The reason my CWM root (which works on all versions) does not work yet on the HD is there is not a working stock CWM yet (it has different booting files). But there will be soon.

2.0.5 root for nook hd
Hey, guys noob here...Not too familiar with the Android platform...Im use to jailbreaking/unlocking Apple products....My question is, when I first powered up the HD, there was a critical update was that an update to a newer firmware for B&N? Is it possible to restore the HD back the firmware it came with ...All input with be greatly appreciated...Thanks
Leapinlar and bokbokan have released a root method that works for the HD on 2.0.5 now. It requires burning CWM to an sdcard and booting off the sdcard though. Check out leapinlar's thread.

At this point it's possible to restore the HD back a few different ways. The Nook comes with a backup of the out of the box ROM that can be restored via the Nook using what's called 8 boot loop. It's a failsafe that is tirggered when the device is rebooted 8 times during the boot phase. This can be done manually by powering off the device 8 times during boot, or modifying the ROM (/system) which triggers it.
Also as long as we have access to booting the device off the sdcard and access to the Nook's kernel I believe the device will be fairly open and accessible for us to do whatever we want to.

Actually, if you just follow some0ne's guide here, and install a decent launcher (I use Nova Launcher Prime.. gives you NINE desktops!), then you really will have no need for CM10 to have a fully-working rooted experience with the HD+. I'm hoping the HD owners get some love soon, too.. cause I'm aware that not everyone has the $320 to throw out for the 32 GB HD+.. (I personally couldn't settle for anything less than the FULL amount of internal storage, as the expansion slot will only take an additional 64 gb microSD.. or is that 48?_ I dunno.. too early in the morning to remember right now. ha.
For an IT pro such as myself, storage space is EVERYTHING when you're constantly downloading, installing, transferring files from one place to another... When I bought my HD+ 32GB, I also picked up a Sandisk 32GB Class 10 microSD to go along with it. (they were on sale for a mere $26!) I couldn't pass that deal up!)
Anyways, just do as some0ne says and you'll be livin' the "high... err I mean ROOTED LIFE" in no time." -- If you've got an HD+, that is.
Welllllll perhaps I spoke a bit too soon. Just went to run my titanium backup pro and it seems I'm no longer rooted due to B&N cramming the 2.0.5 update down my throat. wtf...

It does not harm the nook. If you don't want it rooted anymore, just do the 8 failed boot procedure.

Technically speaking, Nook has Android 4.1.2 (JellyBean) on it, but B&N has limited some of the features. Rooting solves most of those problems, but requires some work arounds indicated in the threads.

Don't Brick it.
Check the firmware that you have .... if it is 1.4.0 or newer, you need to make sure the root method applies.

1.4.0?! I think that's for the Nook, not the NC. NC is only 1.0.0 with MAYBE 1.0.1, but that's not confirmed yet.
I followed the Windows 7 guide on the wiki, I think it's the best "complete" guide available and has more information as well as being updated than some of the other posts. Ultimately, you're going to be doing a lot of reading as I don't think there is a definitive guide on what to do post-root. Such as enable superuser, and how to install apps (adb install (appname.apk)

There's only been one report of it so far, so no one's sure about details. 1.0.1 was the reported updated version though.
Yeah we really have no idea, and even if 1.0.1 is real and does unroot, we don't know if it's possible to re-root using a different method.
Honestly, nobody can tell you one way or the other. Risk it, and hope the next release gets rooted (as most usually are) or get something more generic, like bestbuy certificates and buy it from there instead.
That way, if it is made un-rootable, you can still get something besides books.

As far as I can tell, the worst that BN can do is make the stock firmware really unpleasant to root. We should always be able to boot into our own custom fw from SD.

It will be trivial to re-root an "upgraded" device. Trivial != legal though.
Trivial == taking a dd image from a rooted 1.0.0 device and applying it to a device that has 1.0.0+ (B&N's attempt to stop rooting).
In less that 10 mins, I can take the nooter image that folks are using to root 1.0.0 devices and turn it into a "flash back to 1.0.0 + rooted" image. It's going to go from 40M to ~5G though since I would need to have a dd image of an already rooted device included.
It's as simple as overwriting the partitions that hold the OS with an image that has root enabled.
The problem here is that there are portions of the image that are NOT GPL but are proprietary B&N software. That makes this very doable but also very illegal which is why the original rooters didn't just distribute an image that would turn your phone into a completely rooted device with all kinds of nifty apps installed, tuned and tweaked for you. Its all about not going to jail ya know!
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cyanogenmod-7-2-0-rc1-is-upon-us
It’s been a long time in the making, but it’s finally here: CyanogenMod 7.2, the latest version based on Android 2.3(.7), has reached the release candidate stage!
We’ve been delaying it for too long, mostly because new devices kept being submitted to us, and now we feel that at 69 70 devices, CM7.2 is more than ready for everybody to enjoy
7.2 adds a couple of backported features and fixes from Android 4 (ICS), over 20 new devices when compared to 7.1, and even some new features to boot (be sure to check out the new predictive contact search in the phone dialer!). We’ve also fixed some bugs along the way. Some of them device-specific, others that affected everybody, and one in particular that’s been plaguing Android for a long time: the mysteriously vanishing SD-card ringtones are no more! You can check the full list of noteworthy changes at the CHANGELOG.
As usual, you can submit bug reports on these builds: if you find anything broken in your device while running CM7.2-RC1, (as downloaded from our mirrors or ROM Manager! Please do not submit reports if your build came from elsewhere), be sure to submit a report through http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/ , so that we can fix it in time for the final 7.2 release.

What are the significant differences between this official CM7.2 and the unofficial CM7.2 KANG that we have been using in the last couples of months?
Excuse a noob, but is this file good for SD as well as emmc installs?
thanks
Assuming you have already got a flavor of cm7 installed on an SD card you can copy the update file to the boot partition (I did it from my PC with a card reader), then insert the card in your NC and either access your boot menu and select Reboot Recovery or boot normally and then Reboot with the Recovery option. The files unpack and the penguin is displayed. The unit shuts off and you have to restart (seems to take forever with the android boot animation but wait it out) and all should be well.

KANG 03042012, the latest, *has* CM7.2RC1 so the differences are detailed in that thread but boil down to mr666's enhancements.
For instance, I get the impression from your sig that you run Dalingrin's as a separate update. Dalingrin's has been a part of M-K,(one of the above mentioned enhancements), for a while now.

Actually it didn't. It's that Nook for Android released a brand new version that fixed the magazine issue. A week prior the older version still stacked all the magazines on top of each other on my 7.2 build.
How do you know if you have the latest version of the Nook app? Download some comic books, it's the first version that supports Nook Comics.

Hmm. But is the newer version not stacking on 7.1 either? I'm curious, but not enough to flash back to test, I don't think. I just had a friend switch to 7.2. A few days ago specifically because of the stacking, so that would be a good coincidental timing. Anyone still on 7.1 that can check?

I had rotated out of 7.1 awhile back and I use B&N app everyday. When they provided the new update for the app, that is when my magazines stacked correctly. The update was actually made for the tablet and the version of the new update is: 3.1.0.19.ANDTBL (and tablet). I updated when it came out and it fixed it immediately. I would think it would still work correctly on 7.1, but like you, do not want to mess with a good think.
Okay, curiosity was bugging me. I tested, and yep, no stacking on 7.1 either, guess it was a B&N fix. 7.2 is good in any case.

I did a new install to SD card with the CM7.2RC Most things work as should. Biggest issue is that after some point, the unit will not accept a charge. I plug the cable in (NC Cable/charger) and the light on the cable goes straight to green. Leaving it plugged in for awhile doesn't change the amount of charge (actually is discharging per normal use). After a power off and re-boot, all works as normal. Not sure what the trigger is that causes the Nook Color to not take a charge, but it is not locked up, all programs work normally. It will take a charge and discharge-lets say over a few days, then at some point will not allow a charge. Battery % meter seems to be accurate; tracking appropriately.
I also have a Nightly (#75 I think) SD card that I use, as well as stock Rooted 1.1 on EMMC, and neither have this issue, device is fine electronically.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Mark
Are you sure it's not the cable? They have a bad habit of going south on us.
CM7.0.3 to CM7.2 non rooted on SD card
Hello,
I'm a noob here and found that I should ask questions here on the general forum and not the developers forum.
I have very recently created a sd card non rooted using CM7.0.3 encore and have kernel version 2.6.29-omap1 and its Android version 2.3.3.
I want to keep the ability to return to B&N mode from internal memory to keep my warranty from B&N in check.
I have had issues with using the Google Market app and don't see a lot of apps that I would normally see on my Droid Bionic...like Facebook and others. I have hacked around that issue by finding apps and manually installing them as a work around which is fine for now.
A couple of questions?
By going to a nightly version...can I still remain non-rooted and keep emmc stock and intact with B&N Color flash and boot from my sd card?
will this fix my Google Market issues and have more applications that I can see?
Will I be able to just drag the new CM7.2 ??version code to my /boot directory on my sd card and go into recovery mode to boot it in?
Does this new CM7.2 ??? get put in a particular partition or just under the /boot directory?
Will this wipe out my apps or any data on my sd card?
Will this CM7.2 ??? version support USB host mode for a USB webcam for Skype?
Apparently, this opens another can of worms in that I need to provide USB power from an external hub and I need some kind of Nook Tweaks app to adjust settings?
Can someone explain this?
I have searched these forums and I must say spent a lot of time and nothing seems to be in one place or current on pre-requisites.

I set up my 8GB card months ago and have forgotten all the details of flashing a ROM. Thanks for any suggestons/help.
Make sure your screen density is set to 180. Clear market cache and data, reboot, and try again.
If you don't want to spring for a new Sandisk class 4 card -- I have five now ) -- just use your Win32Disk Imager to write an image file of your current setup to your computer and go blithely on experimenting like crazy. You will always have an image file to write back to your freshly formatted sd card to take a giant leap backward. But I'd bet you'll never even use it. It's too much fun going forward.
And it never hurts to have a zipped backup of the Titanium BU files available to upload and restore at various stages.
Currently running a racks triple boot, the latest Kang cm7, a dualboot miui/stock, and somewhere I could swear I had an old 253m from back in january. Just so my NC flap doesn't break, I'm good...
I just purchased a Nook HD+ which upgraded during initial charge to 2.1 and would like to root it so I can restore apps and data from my Nook Tablet (w/CM7) using Titanium Backup. I read the CWM/ROOT/EXTRAS post, but for some reason it is still a tad confusing. I understand I need to use some of the files at the bottom, but which ones specifically do I need and can I get simplified directions. Thank you in advance.

To me the hardest part was deciding which CMW file to go with...to be honest I just guessed and went with the small_stock and it did what I needed it to. If there was more detail on what each of the CMW files contained and/or their different purposes (if there are any) that would have really help this be a quicker process for me. In the end I got it accomplished so that is all that matters. Thank you leapinlar for the work you have done on this project.

Obviously you did not read the show content section for selecting the image you need. The 4GB is the best one to use if you have a big enough card. The small version is identical, but is used for smaller cards.

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster. At the risk of getting flogged for asking a noob question, I'm sticking my neck out here.
Henry, I had no obstacles modifying my Nook HD+ last week. At first I found the instructions on this forum intimidating looking, but they were really easy to follow. Easier, I think, than when I made the root SD Card for my previous Nook Tablet. Before I get to my noob question, I want to say thank you to those developers who provided the rooting instructions. You guys are great.
Now, on with the show.
As I said, I had no obstacles modifying my Nook HD+. However, after the modification I have a few minor glitches. My custom wallpaper shrinks from 3 pages to one sometimes. No big deal. The wallpaper corrects itself and returns to full size after the tablet sleeps for a while. No biggie. Another problem I have is the wallpaper and app drawer will not rotate when I hold the tablet sideways. All the apps will rotate, just not the wallpaper and app drawer. Again, no real big issue. I've got a problem with a couple of apps, but I think those issues are app related.
Now, for my big problem: No videos will play. I've tried YouTube, Netflix and embedded videos from a website. Nothing. Nothing plays. I get a black screen. When I play Netflix I get sound but no picture.
If it was just one app in particular, I would think it's the app. However, I've tried video from three sources and I get the same result.
What am I missing?
Now, according the the modifiying/rooting instructions, I've technically not rooted my tablet. I did flash the following files:
New OTA (Over the Air) update block (rev2- 03/29/13)
Full revert to Plain Stock 2.1.0 (latest 5/3/13)
Extras - includes enabling Unknown Sources - (rev3 - 5/6/2013)
I am running HD+ 2.1.0. Purchased the tablet June 11.
Hi
I have been reading alot about rooting Nook HD+ and I came to conclusion that I am rather confused. There are alot of tutorials and methods, and there has been a recent update to Nook recently. Some files seem to old some files not so sure if they are applicable or not.
I want to root it so that I can use adaway with my Nook HD and HD+. I do not want to install Mods, I do not want to do any other tricky Android OS stuff for now. I just need to eb able to root it.
I installed the SDK and I have a working adb usb bus now. I can send files files using the android adb command.
Which method of rooting is applicable to HD and HD+ nowadays?. I am kinf of tired of trying to locate an up to date information and the more I read the more I get confused about this process. So please help and give me a link/reply that works fine nowadays.
thanks

With any stock version above 2.0.4, the only way to root stock is to use my CWM method in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. And once you get it rooted, heed my warning about how to set up adaway so it will not reset your device.

Use leapinlar's method, I used it on my own nook and installed carbon on it with no problems.

leapinlar, thank you for following up my thread.
I am going through your thread and I am again confused about one issue here. Which file is the boot related zip ? You are not referencing the names of the files in your detailed thread which makes it harder to follow actually. You have alot of information, thanks for your time however if you can name the files you want people to add, unzip, boot whatever that would be really incredibly helpful.
The other question I have is about Nook HD. Is that thread also applicable to HD all the way?
thanks

Now you are confusing me. What is the "boot related zip"? You mean the BOOTFILES? If so, it is the one with "BOOTFILES" in the name and ends in rar, not zip. And I don't name the files in the text since there is generally two versions for each file, one for the HD and one for the HDplus, and the text would get very tedious with all those names. Just look for HD in the title in your case and read the rest of the words to understand what they are for.
And if they have HD-HDplus in the title, they work for both.

Yes, I wanted to thank user leapinlar as well.
That post of yours was invaluable. I just picked up an SD Card, put the BOOTFILES, the extras and the Universal root zips on it and did all that you mentioned. It worked perfectly.
P.S: I'd like to add that I have a brand new nook (bought from B&N store in July 2013) and it booted from the SD Card at the first try. I mention this because you had said that this is sometimes an issue (hopefully B&N fixed it)
Yes I was wondering if theres a way to perm root the nook hd plus it has the 2.2 software on it. I see theres bootable sd cards for a dual mode boot. I would like to be able to have perm root if possible where I could still use my sd card which is 32gb

This is possible Verygreen created a way to do this and Leapinar has added it to his system which may be more to your liking. I am at work right now and can't get the links for you.

I did it on the HD+ with software version 2.2. I am currently running verygreen CM 10.2.1 with Android 4.3.1. It is very stable and responsive. I had a the screen flash a few times at first but as soon as I got the gapps installed and updated that went away. I am a noon at doing this but I eventually figured it out within a day. If you want the nook app you have to Google it and download it from the web because it is not available on the Google play store. I hope this helps some.

It depends on what you mean by root. People use that term loosely to mean two different things. Rooting really just means adding root access to an existing ROM. If that is what you mean, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and follow that for adding root access to stock. Some people mistakenly call replacing stock with a different rooted ROM as 'rooting'. It is not, it is replacing your stock ROM with one that happens to be rooted. If that is what you meant, go to e.mote's dummies guide for installing CM10.1/CM10.2 (also linked in my signature) to replace stock on internal memory. Either will be 'permanent'.

That is not rooting, but replacing the Rom, as leapinlar said. To do so, go to the guide leapinlar mentioned, and follow the instructions. Here is the link:
