Nook hd+ root
I consider myself tech saavy but this rooting business is giving me a VERY hard time. ive read many posts about rooting the nook hd + and none of it makes sense. Is there a complete dummies guide out there that can help me understand what it is im attempting to do. Ive registered the device and currently running 2.2.1 software and BNTV600 Model.

This is a very old thread and is obsolete. And it depends on what you mean by "root". Usually rooting means adding root access rights to your stock ROM. But some users mean that they want a rooted alternate ROM like CM put on their device to replace the stock ROM.
If you want the former, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and it gives instructions for adding root access to your stock ROM. It is up to date.
If you want the latter, go to the dummies guide also linked in my signature. It will give you instructions on how to replace your stock ROM with a rooted form of CM.

If your HD+ does not seem to want to boot off SD, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288688.

There's a list of rooting guides on a stickied post under android development
Sent from the google phone using XDA Premium
Find your respective phone in a stickied thread and follow that guide.
Also, wrong section.
The rooting guides are in General not Android development.
I9020T/I9020A/I9023 are all in General
The Sprint 4G one is in Sprint 4G dev.
And since you're not in the U.S., you'll probably find yours in General.

the first step is to learn how to read the dozens of threads already open about this exact subject
here's install instructions for Cezar's Continuum rom:
http://www.team-continuum.net/home/index.php?topic=17.0
you may need to create a profile on that forum in order to view that thread (not sure)
however - generally speaking, most devs post up a how-to in their own ROM thread so you should be able to follow their's specifically
Search and research
While you're reading, make 10000000000% sure that you read this sentence:
WHEN FLASHING 2.3 YOU ARE FLASHING BOOTLOADERS. THERE IS A VERY REAL RISK OF HARD BRICKING YOUR PHONE. MAKE SURE YOU COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS TO THE LETTER.
Happy upgrading.
Please search before opening a new thread.

I'm sure other newbies, like myself, are interested to backup (nandroid) their Nook HD+ before experimenting with the new CM10 Rom as described by verygreen. It will be great if one of the experienced memebers provides a detailed description on how to accomplish this. Thanks in advance.
I'm gonna ruin your mood here and say that you are in the wrong section. Since this is your first post, you should learn. There is a Q&A forum for that. This is a General forum. Yes, I understand there are more people and more threads in the general section, but that's not an excuse to post question in the General forum.

You do not need to worry about backing up your existing system. The new CM10 SD does not touch your stock. So no worries.

new Kindle Fire HD7
Hi,
I've just got a Kindle Fire HD7 but I'm unsure if I can root it and install a custom ROM. I've read on the subject but there's been some conflicting info so I'd like to know for sure. I've had experience in rooting, etc Nexus models but nothing about Kindles.
Settings say it's a fourth generation model, running "FireOS 4.5.1".
Thanks!
Installing Custom ROM on Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7" (2012)
Thanks for putting all the needed tools in one place.
While I've rooted and installed ROMs on my phone through ODIN, I haven't done anything as extensive as this seems to be and I want to make sure I'm doing things in the correct order. I originally assumed all the tools were listed in the order used but research indicates otherwise.
- Ensure I have a fastboot cable
- Apply Windows Bug Fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086210&highlight=noob
- Install 2nd bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
- Install TWRP Recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218796
- Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
- Beanstalk ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799589
I'm skipping installing a custom kernel
Does the Kindle Fire HD 7 (2012) still require a Fastboot cable to just gain root?
No just download adb and root with restore bin4ry
Hi posted a reply on this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...g-nook-hd-internal-emmc-t3562818#post71653625
If someone can assist with it. It regards had CM11 on HD+, and trouble either installing fresh or upgrading to LN14. I don't know if people that advise in these forums only see questions/messages in the main forum versus buried in an old thread, so thought it safer to have a pointer to it here. Thanks
