Touch Rooting Nook STG with firmware 1.2.1??

[kazakore]

Wanted to root my Nook since I got it a month or two ago, in part to replace the terrible standard reader, in part for custom dictionaries. Finally managed to find a SD -> MicroSD adapter here in India (where I'm travelling and have got as far as making a full backup using the steps here upto no.8 ( http://nookdevs.com/Nook_Simple_Touch/Rooting/Manual ) but as the rooting procedure on there seems very basic with no included apps I thought I'd have a look at what was possible.

I think the Minimal install looks to be most suitable for me, but from the reading I've done it seems this and other Nooter Project procedures I can find only support firmware 1.0.0/1 or 1.1.0 and my device is running 1.2.1

Is there any process for rooting this device? Does the process from the page I used to backup the device work whatever the firmware version? If so I could always sideload ADW Launcher along with reader apps and dictionaries. But I don't really want to be risking things now knowing if they will break the device, even with a backup on my computer...

OK found a guide including 1.2,1 and will try when I find the time, hopefully this week...

I used Nook Manager last summer to root a Nook ST. As I recall, it was easy. I just bought another one so I'll be doing it again. Have you rooted yours, yet?

Received NST today, rooted with NookManager today. Added Coolreader, my fonts, signed into the Amazon app store and got a couple of apps. Really nice piece of hardware.
