Tried rooting Nook Tablet..
8 GB, Model BNTV250A, Version 1.4.3 using this method in video:
But was not able to get the the "box" on my screen (as in video). So, I only got halfway. Here are the two error messages I get after last step and reboot before box is supposed to show on screen: 1. Nook encountered a problem that requires a system restart (I click "ok") 2. Then after I click "ok" I get this message: Your Nook could not restart. Please Try again later. Or contact Customer Support. Does anyone here know what I might have done wrong, or maybe a much better way to do the rooting? I'd appreciate any help/direction, thanks in advance, Denise |

Update: I got it, just following the video. Had to go through the steps twice before it worked right. If anyone needs help, I "might" be able to give some tips on this. I am so glad I can have all my apps I love, especially overdrive, on my larger Nook Tablet as I really don't like the Fire Tablet 7" much. It will be an extra I use, or loan friends that come over etc.

Found out in the case of my particular Nook Tablet, that the video was not the best, by a long shot so I have a link to what I believe is the right way, although, I am still working on it myself:

If you decide to pursue the custom ROM route, be aware that CM11 is dated and you should be looking for CM13 or LN14.x in which case the process described in the XDA link you had found is still valid but you'll need to find the right corresponding version of ROM, GApps as well as TWRP recovery zip files. |

Ok, I will take a look at the link you gave me, but also, the same person that gave me this link and suggested the CM11 said he had the same Nook Tablet I did, and the newer 13 was to much for the NT.
I appreciate your feedback though, and I guess I'll have to dig a bit deeper denise |

Oh yes, I have read the risks and know that I could end up with a "dead" NT but I'm up for trying it. I just want to make sure I do the steps right, and then of course, they work

For folks reading this that want a custom ROM on their Nook Tablet, but don't want to go through all of the rooting and installing on internal memory which may be too advanced or risky for some, you can always buy or make your own N2A (Nook 2 Android) card and bypass the internal software all together.

"OK, you need to take a breath and stop. I've just come away from another thread in which the poster decried the disappearance of all the Cyanogenmod stuff. I knew they had died but I didn't realize everything would disappear so fast... That means you need to source the most critical component from somewhere. One option is a new post on this board for the critical files. There is also a fellow who was developing his own related ROMs, both internal and SD card versions. I'll search for that and add it to this post in a bit." I want that AnemicOak, can you send me a link or give me further directions on doing this? My Nook just needs a little "updating" is all, and I do love it, way better than my new Fire Tablet, although I use the Fire, if I can get my Nook fixed up, I am for that being my #1 Tablet. I payed 199.00 for it in 2012 or so, and bought a beautiful book cover for it, and the size, and well, just like it so much |

I will go take a look livramax. I don't have a lot to spend, so if I feel this is working "now" for others, I am willing to try it.
My Nook Tablet is BNTV250A, Version 1.4.3, and 8 GB. Is that also known as a Nook 2? Thank you much, off to visit the link denise |

Also, AFAIK, XDA developer succulent was the source of all the SD-based ROM builds for CM10/11 that came into existence, so the CM10/11 builds on his portal (at the link I had provided) are the latest/likely final build versions for CM10/11 to be had.

So you're saying I can't get the 10/11 at all unless I find someone willing to share their with me, send me a copy etc. Ok, I think I understand. I'm starting to think, depending on "the" cost, I should purchase something instead. Maybe I'll check out costs at leasts. These aren't to root your Nook though are they. Thanks again, denise |

Anyone know about this Lineage OS that is the successor for Cyanogenmod? Here's what it's about:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lineage I'm still trying to find out if this would work with my Nook Tablet so if anyone has used it, would love to hear how you are doing so far? Also, AnemicOak, I would like to know if you could point out any directions on building that "card" for my Nook, the N2A? Wondering if that's something I could do or not Thanks much, denise |

The commercial N2A cards you could buy were from here, but I have no idea if he still sells pre-made cards. It looks like he still may sell images that can be put on your own card, but frankly as old as the hardware of the Nook Tab is I don't really think it's worth spending money on an image to run an old version of Android (4.4). https://www.n2acards.com/nook-tablet-mail-or-download Here is a post on creating your own card... https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012...r-nook-tablet/ Quote:
I doubt they're working with older versions of Android and the Nook Tab hardware is quite old (released in 2011) and isn't going to run a newer version of Android very well. |
