root questions about nook color 16gig - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a nook 8gig and rooted with instructions from cyanogenmod.com and worked perfectly. My question is should i follow those instructions for this 16gig or are there another set of instructions to follow . Ive looked here and have found that in some threads it says i can follow them for the 16gig and when reading the comments i find that it will not work on the 16gig. Hope this made sense to you. Thanks for the help in advance.

There is no 16 gb nook color.
What you have there is a nook tablet. You are in the wrong forum. We don't have those fancy tablets here, just Nook Color e-readers.
there are forums for nook tablets and nooktablet hd (+) on xda.They can probably answer you.
good luck

Well ill take my fancy tablet and go hunting for that rascally rabbit on the right forum. Thank you

After checking I do have a nook color 16gig. My other nook is an 8gig. So do I follow the same steps for the 16gig? It is not the HD or HD plus.

There is no 16 gb Nook Color. That is a Nook tablet. The roms do not interchange. Go over to the Nook Tablet thread.
Thhe 8gb could be a NookColor or a tablet. You need to know for certain before flashing. Many problems can result.

If the model number on the back of the 8/16gb is BNTV250 it is a Nook Tablet. Go over to the Nook Tablet forum for help rooting it.
The nook color model number is BNRV200. ROMs in this forum are for BNRV200 only.
Mod- Please move thread to Q&A.

When you said "Rooting my B&N Nook Color (1.2.0)", you actually have no choice but only one option, that is using ManuallyNook, with whatever version, sorry can't help since I didn't root my device.
Other options are installing and running CM7 or the a-like onto eMMC (aka internal memory) or from an external uSD card.

thank you for your reply and i did say thanks/rep
but i know there are things like.....
Froyo (Android 2.2), Honeycomb (Android 3.0 & 3.1), CM7 and ManualNooter 4.6.16 and i just have no idea what would work best for what i want
If you don't care about the stock OS cm7 is the best way to go.

Use the SD card method by verygreen. Get yourself a class 2. 8 gig sandisk and boot cm7. This way here if ( and I use if lightly) you want to revert back to stock just remove the card. Verygreens post can be found on the development page under size agnostic.

1. Froyo, HC are OS
2. CM7 is Gingerbread-based OS, custom ROM.
3. ManualNooter is a tool to unlock the NC stock OS
So, if you want to keep and use the stock OS (in this case, Froyo) and want to utilize its full capability, you then "unlock" it using ManualNooter.
If you don't care about the stock OS, you then can install/running other custom ROM such CM7, HC, ...

[Q] Please help advanced user get back to CM7 from Stock 1.0.1

I had my Original Nook Color Since the 1.0.1 days. I rooted it and had it running everything for over a year. I went through the early froyo days and PhireMod days ect.... Recently I been running CM7 via sdcard. Well I tried some stupid things with my boot loader and messed up both loaders on the uSD and emmmc. Anyways ... after reading close to 100 messages and following many many old broken links, I have finally (via adb) got my nook back to stock 1.0.1 and running.
I am tech savy and know a bit about linux. And a lot about how the nook works. But my mind is fried after all this. SO I am asking for some help. Like I said, I currently have a working nook running stock 1.0.1 (with old broken wifi even) So my router is wide open so I can have wifi that works on nook. Anyway Please advise me were to go from here.
I would like to get CM7 running again via my sd-card. I would also like to update to Stock Nook 1.4.1 (on emmc) (so I can use their new comic reader) but that is not my main focus. If I can do that and dual boot then fine. But my real goal is just to get back to CM7 nightlies.
Do I need to nooter again ? Can some kind sole please point me in the correct direction or just walk me through what I need to do... I am tech savy so you could spell it out quickly if needed. I do have adb working and I have 2 empty sdcards.
ANYTHING would help my brain from overloading LOL.
Thank you so much.
PS... I have helped many many many people over the last 2 years both here in the Nook world and in the ANdroid forums.
Peace
Come on guys.... 75 views and not 1 bit of help. : (
I'll just keep waiting...
Thanks again

You have double posted and were answered on the other thread. You don't expect people to answer the same question twice do you? Or do you think they are different questions?
Eyeballer told you how to get to stock 1.2 in his guide. If you have wifi working, I would think it would update by itself from there.
The guide for making CM7 bootable SD is here:

And you don't have to root emmc to do it.

For your knowledge, the NOOK color is the physical device.
What is its operating system? It's B&N OS.
What is B&N OS based on? It is based on Android OS.
What is that OS version? It is Android Froyo, 2.2.x.
So, conclusion, the B&N NOOKcolor is an Android device (or should I say "it is a device that running Android OS)
If you're looking for different roms other than the B&N one, there are tons here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=864
Just look for what you want.
Is there any rom in particular? What B&N version are you using?

[Q] Upgrading from custom nookie froyo 2.2

About a year ago, I successfully installed custom nookie froyo 2.2.1 on my nook internal sd following a youtube video (created a bootable micro sd, etc.) I actually surprised myself that it worked out since I’m no tech wizard!
Although everything is working fine, I now want to upgrade to CM 7 since I feel it’s now a bit laggy.
My question is:
Do I have to repeat the whole process (bootable SD, etc.) or is there a shortcut I can take ? If so, can you link me to a walkthrough? If not, can you also link me to a recent good walkthrough so I can repeat the process?
Thanks for the input!
Greetings from Vienna

You just did. But you can just click the button too. It is at the bottom of the post for web pages and a long press if using the android app.

Boot loops at nook color dev screen

Hi I'm hoping someone here can help me with this issue. I've looked around and haven't really found a solution. I'm new to rooting. I have a nook color on 1.4.3 that I decided to root. I read up and followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494901
But each time I get a looping nook color devs animation that will just repeat and repeat. I have restored multiple times and tried again but haven't been successful. I haven't had any access to root features. I flashed with manualnooter-5.08.20.apps2sd.block_updates.zip and Dalingrin OC kernel.

I would but it won't let me because I'm a new member with fewer than 10 posts. So I made a topic.
