Root can someone help me root my NC 1.4.3??

dizasder · Jul 14, 2012

Hi,
I am new to all this, and wanted to know if there is anyone who could walk me through rooting my NC 1.4.3? I have an 8gb micro sdhc card.

Did you read the sticky at the top of the page?

http://androidforums.com/nookcolor-...ok-color-rooting-rom-guide-read-me-first.html

Are you planning to replace your stock rom with CM7? link
or
Rooting the stock rom so you can still use the stock reader? link

Hi, I'm having the same problem. I got a nook color (1.4.3) with a 32 gb micro sdhc card.

I tried to follow a lot of steps provided on the net and even the links provided in here.
But somehow, nothing happens. It just loads back to the original nook interface all the time. (I'm a noob to rooting and stuffs, and I would really appreciate english. lol )

btw, will the steps provided on the links above work on 1.4.3?
It says 1.4.1 or 1.4.2

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Melonaide, please check out this post: http://androidforums.com/nookcolor-...ckworkmod-nook-color-1-4-2-a.html#post4744207 (ie. make sure have a Nook Color, not the Nook Tablet)

I assume you mean rooting the stock rom. I believe it's still the same, but you'd have to ask the person who created the guide, or follow the link to XDA. I'm not a B&N software fan and don't read books so have little experience with that.

melonaide · Aug 2, 2012

Thanks for the fast response colchiro!

And yeah I got a nook color. I also have read the post about you confirming if it got a small microphone hole even before I joined this site and posted here. lol

Like him, I tried to make a bootable SD card following these steps:
First this but some downloads links are missing.
Then this but the nook totally ignores the card and loads that way it did before.

I eventually ended up reading posts in this site. :turtle:

colchiro · Aug 2, 2012

Those are two completely different articles.

Which one do you want to do,

replace your stock rom with CM7 (convert from a reader to a tablet) or
create a bootable sdcard with a rom on it (slower, more fragile, but can boot either cm7 or stock B&N) or
root the stock rom (reader still retaining B&N software that can also install other apps)?

You have to know which direction to take b/c they are all different.

Is your card new or old? What size and brand?

Were you able to see files on it after flashing? Were you able to copy files to it?

melonaide · Aug 3, 2012

I honestly didn't know that there were 3 options. lol

I was just trying which one will work bec. I just wanna turn my reader into an android interface and install more apps.

I would like to do option 2, but option 3 sounds better. ^^

My card is new: KingMax microSDHC class 4, 32GB
Yep I am able to see the files, nook just don't support the file format and just ignores them.

Well... I might get things mixed up after trying different steps at the same time. *noobness* LOL :rolleyes:

colchiro · Aug 3, 2012

My preference is number one, (I feel it's easier, more tablet-like, less likely to screw up) but here you go: How I rooted B&N 1.4.1 and got the Android Market to work

melonaide · Aug 4, 2012

Really? No. 1 is easier? I thought it is harder and more likely to 'brick' my nook. XD
I'll try it later when I get back home.

colchiro · Aug 4, 2012

Sdcards fail and it's easy to screw up a rom on the sdcard since there's features it doesn't support.

Rooting is harder and a future B&N update will screw that up so don't recommend rooting the stock rom. Besides you said you wanted a tablet.

So, #1 is best for you.

melonaide · Aug 5, 2012

on this steps it also got 3 options. Which one should I follow first?

colchiro · Aug 5, 2012

You'll need only the 3rd one.

"For users of stock rom, rooted or not, see the section that uses a CWR bootable sdcard"

melonaide · Aug 7, 2012

Thanks so much colchiro!! ♥
LOL my Nook Color looks like an android phone/tablet now.
Your steps are complete and easy to follow!

colchiro · Aug 7, 2012

Not everyone thinks that.

Glad you got it working.

Ok bud i really need ur help if u still follow this thread. I took on the project of rooting my friends nook color. Its running 1.4.3. Im trying to root and and get market access, but keep the B&N stuff. Ive seen videos of it being done and u urself said it to be possible. However i have tried so many ways including urs with no luck. Any help would really be appreciated. I cant seem to get this thing to read my bootable sdcard. Tried numerous files for CWM including urs still with no luck. Using Win32 to image file.
EDIT: Got a sdcard to boot to clockwork...finally. Now what file to flash to get android stuff?

colchiro · Aug 11, 2012

If you're keeping the stock rom, but adding root and market, then this is what you want, but I think you'd have to reflash your card: http://androidforums.com/nookcolor-...rooted-b-n-1-4-1-got-android-market-work.html Sorry, I won't be much help with that tho. That thread links to another one where they should also address how to update 1.4.3.

O/W if you want to replace your stock rom with CM9, I'd go this route (3rd section): http://androidforums.com/nookcolor-all-things-root/352736-guide-how-install-cm7-your-nook-color.html

BDogg718k · Aug 12, 2012

Thank u for ur response. But yes it is very important to her that she keep the B&N stuff as it was. I think it very cool that both that and android can run on this kinda weak tab IMO. Ill try the thread u linked. THANX!

colchiro · Aug 12, 2012

Does she know you can install any reader app on CM7, but would lose a couple features like "read to me", bookmarks (maybe).

But, anything purchased (other than books), like games, etc would need to be purchased again from Play Store.

BDogg718k · Aug 12, 2012

thats just it. she has plenty of books on here already. Havent seen a away to save or back them up. Plus, if i could back them up somehow, would other readers be able to read them? Just really like the B&N home button and android button.

colchiro · Aug 12, 2012

Books you purchased from B&N are available from any device with the B&N app installed. So if you wiped this device and installed CM7 and the B&N app, the books would download again.

If you wanted to install Amazon's app or Google's app, their books would be available. I'm not a reader so wrong person to ask but these apps probably just open their own books. There are other readers that can open generic book files tho.

You can see some phone screenshots here: About the project | CyanogenMod

Tablets are slightly different but you can customize a lot of stuff after installing.

Thats good to know about the re-downloading of the books. Thanx for ur help. Gonna flash Manualnooter 5 now. and hope all goes well!!

colchiro · Aug 12, 2012

One nice thing about rooting (instead of flashing cm7) is that you can create a recovery backup, flash cm7 and restore the backup if you don't like cm7.

BTW, Mirage, a custom version of cm7, is very nice and is themed to look more like ICS roms.

BDogg718k · Aug 12, 2012

LOL does have ICS look. Backing up stock rom now then off to nooterville..lol. Will be posting results. thanx again.

colchiro · Aug 12, 2012

You're making me sooooo proud!

BDogg718k · Aug 12, 2012

Captain we have android boot screen!! lol booting now! SUCCESS!!!!

THANKS BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Im guessing I can reformat SDcard now so she can use it. It will stay like this until I change it via sdcard boot right? these settings will stick through reboots?
Had this problem when I rooted a pandigital nova for another friend. market only shows like 4 apps. Has to be a way to get full list right? Checking some threads now.

Root can someone help me root my NC 1.4.3??
