Matching version of your nook and the boot image is important. You need to know the firmware version of your nook (on the welcome screen, holding lower left and right cornors will show the version), and use the boot.img from the same version.

Fortunately you stopped at step 8, otherwise the mismatched boot image might brick the device.
I held the bottom corners and found out I have version 8.1.7.50. I downloaded the update.zip here - http://su.barnesandnoble.com/nook/pi....50/update.zip

Went back into the adb terminal to try again. Got to Step 8 again, typed adb reboot bootloader and again the screen went dim. Ok no problem.

Typed fastboot devices hit Enter. Nothing changed I figured it was fine.

Tried the last step to flash the new patched boot.img from/sdcard/Download/magisk_patched-24000_JMBNg.img and my terminal says <waiting for any device>

I couldn't type anything and it was waiting and waiting forever. After like 5 minutes I closed it and unplugged the device. It was frozen again for a while but I was able to factory reset it again. Was I supposed to just keep waiting?
