[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newbtrigger69:
I POSTED EARLIER BUT IT NEVER SHOWED UP SO IM REPOSTING. sry for caps.

rooted my nook color and everything was fine. then i tried to root my nook tablet. searched all over the net for comprehensive instructions to do so and i found this

The first thing you need to do is extract the contents of file #1 and write the extracted img file to a Micro SD. If you are using Microsoft Windows then click the file named Win32DiskImager.exe, select the NT16or8gbV47SDimagefile.img, select your drive letter for your SD card.

If you are using Linux, then open up the terminal and CD into the directory where NT16or8gbV47SDimagefile.img is located. Once in the correct directory issue this command to write the .img to the Micro SD:

sudo dd if=NT16or8gbV47SDimagefile.img of=/dev/sdX

You must replace the X in sdX with the appropriate letter for your SD slot. There are many ways to get the correct letter but I use the program Gparted.

Ok, so now you have an SD card that will root your Nook Tablet. Let's boot into Recovey. Turn off your Nook if it is on, and connect the USB wire to your computer. Your Nook will now turn on and enter into ClockwordMod Recovery. Using the Volume Keys to move up and down and the N key to select, click on Install zip from SD. You will now see a zip file called Root_8gb-or-16gb-NTV4_7.zip. Highlight that file and press the N.

If all goes well, the operation will complete. You are now rooted. Press the Power button to go back to main Recovery menus and select Reboot and press the N key. Your Nook will appear normal. It is not. Press the N key and you will see a new option for Home screen. Clicking the new Home icon will take you to an Android looking desktop. Yay! We are not done yet.

Now, install ES File Explorer from the Play Store. Open the app and browse your Micro SD card. Look for a folder called Apps. In this folder you will see a file named Nook Recovery Flasher.apk. Click this file to install it. Once installed, click on Flash CWM Recovery. Now you do not need the SD card you made earlier to boot into Recovery. It is now part of the system.

Remove the SD card and connect it your computer and format it so that it is empty.

Copy the files #2, #3, and #4 that you downloaded from above to the SD card and insert it back into the Nook Tablet.

Remember how to boot your Nook into Recovery mode? Do it.

Select Install zip from SD again and install ONLY CWM_v6.2.7_emmc.zip. This will upgrade your recovery. Without upgrading, you will not be able to flash CyanogenMod. Once the operation is complete, use the power button go back to reboot the Nook. Boot it to Recovery one more time.

Now you can select the latest CyanogenMod file you downloaded to install it. After that, select the latest Gapps you downloaded. Reboot the Nook and you are good to go!!!

. i folowed all the instructions to the dot. but when i got the this step, "Remember how to boot your Nook into Recovery mode? Do it." and i did it. but when i rebooted it immediately tried to boot into recovery but got stuck on the cardboard box screen and it flickered none stop and would not proceed to recovery (CWM) menu. I tried everything i could think of and i found that if i reformatted my sd card with the CWM sd root img and put sd card into NT and boot up it successfully brings up CWM. from this i tried both normal cache wipe and advanced menu cache wipe and also tried wipe to factory settings and wipe battery stats, rebooted and it still gets stuck on the flickering cardboard box screen..........anyone have any ideas? i cant seem to boot it up at all past this screen. maybe i shud format system through sd-card cwm? but then i would have no OS, so how would i proceed with this. is it totally broke or wut? god i hope not:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
