[Q] Which method to root? Please help, confused - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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)

Nook HD Root for 2.0.5?

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)
Stuck waiting for an update to "allinone.bat"

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.
And if you look at my rooting thread I just walked someone through it last night.

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.

Rooting a Nook HD+

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.

After reading it a few more times I was able to create the necessary bootable SD card copy the necessary zip files and root my device. I was likely over complicating the process. Anyway, I was able to root the device and was able to restore data to my HD+ from my Tablet. Thank you.

did you get any obstacle during the process? i am planning do the similar thing...

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.

[Q] Howto 2nd bootloader an recovery when on latest 7.4.6 software?

What guide should I follow to install a 2nd bootloader and recovery? I have a 7kfhd with 7.4.6.
Most guides are a bit outdated or for previous software versions.
Should i downgrade the software first? If so, to which version?
I already rooted it. I just don't want to brick it so soon as it is for gift. I have read all I could but I still have many doubts. So I prefer to ask to someone who knows more before I brick it.
OK I will link you to the tutorial but before going through this process please tell me one thing, are you going to put a custom rim on it or do you want to leave the amazon os on it and just have a custom recovery? Because if you follow this guide, your kindle is going to boot loop unless you flash a specific file from kinology instead of one of the files in the tutorial. Here's the link though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909

Well, I wanted to install cyanogenmod or similar, please advise me. I got this model because I read that it had many custom roms. This tablet is for my parents so I'd like to foolproof it. As much as I've tried the original software I can't find any reason to keep it, it is complicated and very limited, I don't want a stock based rom either.
OK good, that makes thing easier, simply download a ROM of your choosing and the gapps flashable zip that go along with it, and put them on your kindle before you start any of the process in that tutorial. Once you follow that tutorial there is one key thing you must do, check the first check box that more than likely will have red text under it about your bootloader version being to new. If you don't check that you will probably get a red screen that you can't fix without a fastboot cable. That pretty much covers it, just make sure to read through the tutorial, it's very informative. Oh and if you put a cm 11 or cm 11 based ROM, make sure to flash the most recent twrp flashable zip (from the dev section for your device) from within twrp like you would any other ROM. I believe hashcode recently added selinux support to twrp and its required to flash the cm 11 ROM. Any other questions just reply back!

To use fireflash, it really works best if you use fastboot to downgrade to 7.2.3. Hashcode has a 7.4.6 bootimg here http://hosting.crackflasher.com/get.../Hashcode0f/tate/kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img (from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848&page=50 ) to use if you're already on 7.4.6 Amazon firmware and use TWRP 2.6.3.1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848 The firmware your Kindle is on must match the bootimg file you flash.
Just remember to drag and drop which ever ROM you want onto the internal SD card before flashing because FireFlash will flash TWRP as long as you check the boxes the op says to. Stack override for one. You should be able to access TWRP and flash the ROM from there.
Make sure to read that OP a few times so you don't have issues.

Perm root for nook hd+ 2.2

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

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'.

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:

dp you know if cm11 for kit kat is stable
CM11 is not stable on any device yet, so I would really recommend CM10.2.1

Nook Hd 7

ok long and short is I wanted to root my nook hd 7/daul boot it with android kitkat 4.0. I saw some of the other posts with files and such. However, I am rather noob and need clear step-by-step instructions on how do accomplish this. I attempted to do this with no success. Just saying "create and system image disk" isn't clear enough; I know what that means on other devices, but not here. I need to know what software I need to image etc. Would anyone be willing to help me?
Go to nook hd general forum. There are several threads with instruction for loading kit kat.

Did you try this thread?

It says HD+, but the HD is identical. Just use the HD (hummingbird) versions of the files instead of HD+ (ovation). Try it and if you have more questions ask there.
Edit: I just noticed you want to dual boot with stock on internal and CM11 on SD. If you want to do that, go to this thread.
