Now you are ready to actually perform the rooting process on the Nook Color. Once you have the SD card prepared continue with step four in the guide at XDA to finish preparing the SD card. If you are uncomfortable with either, call a geek or just enjoy your Nook Color as it came from Barnes and Noble. This process involves the command prompt or Terminal in Linux or Mac. Follow the steps substituting the name of the IMG file you download from the above linked XDA Developer’s forum post. The yellow part is for Linux, darker blue for Windows and lighter blue for Mac. About half way down the page there are some highlighted sections. They also have Windows instructions for making an SD card from an IMG file. If you have a Mac or Linux follow the steps at the Nook Devs Wiki. In step 3 of the link it says, “Burn the SD card as instructed.” The problem is the linked instructions are for Windows only. It is all explained in the XDA Developer’s Forum.
NOOK FOR MACBOOK PRO ANDROID
If you registered with another email you can still root it, but it is not as easy to get all of the Google goodness that comes with Android after the root process is performed.įirst, prepare the SD card with something called ClockworkMod. We recommend registering it with a Gmail address. Of course, you will need to have a Nook Color already registered with Barnes and Noble.
NOOK FOR MACBOOK PRO INSTALL
Once you get the update, you will also need to have a micro-SD card which is used to install the modified firmware. If not manually download it from the Barnes and Noble site. The first thing you will have to do is get the latest 1.2 update, which you likely already received automatically when Barnes and Noble sent it out a couple of weeks ago. The first is more stable while the second is less likely to mess up your Nook Color. The two methods here include one that will change the software installed on the Nook Color and one that will not modify the installed software at all. We have compiled the best guides for rooting the Nook Color eReader so you can have one place to find them.
That is just one of the many apps you could run after rooting the device. Why would you do such a thing? Imagine being able to run Amazon Kindle on the Barnes and Noble Nook Color.
NOOK FOR MACBOOK PRO MANUAL
A tool called Manual Nooter has been posted at the XDA Developer’s Forum which can be used to root your Nook Color even with the latest 1.2 software update. It isn’t as easy as some of the past methods of rooting the Barnes and Noble Nook Color, but it gets the job done.
