[Q] How to root Nook GLOWLIGHT - Please help - Nook Touch General

Hello Folks,
this is my first attempt to root the nook.
I got a GLOWlight version and now after reading through all the threads, I get the impression that nook manager, which I was hoping to be able to use, is not supporting the glowlight...?
Am I right with this?
If so, which way is the best for a new UK Glowlight version?
Glownooter seems to work just for older versions...?
I am confused and would be thankful for a good and easy advice.
To add:
Amazon market is completely unnecessary for me as I just quit my account with this bastard company...;_)
thanx in advance

Is Rooting for me?

Hello community. I just purchased the 3.5mm myTouch and can't decide if I should attempt to root it (just learn the term two days ago). After reading tutorials, I feel that I could do it without bricking the device, but I still have some doubts. For example, if I root my phone, would I still have access to the apps that came pre-loaded with it and also to the android market? Tethering would be the main reason for me to root, but what would be the easiest to use rom for it? I've never had a smartphone before, and I really only wanted this one for quick internet queries and checking my email; that said, is it better for me to root?
Forgot to ask. Is there some website dedicated to HTC Magic running ROMs?
Hi,
You can root it for thethering but you can only use the stock system you already have or the one from the Fender, AFAIK. Other ROMs won't work properly (touchscreen issue).
Here is some reading about this and here is a Rooted Fender Edition ROM by Cursordroid. I hope it'll help
Thank you for the info. From what I read, I think I will rather wait for the people developing to finish working their magic before I try to root my phone. I am honestly at a loss with all the technicalities of it and do not want to do something I will regret.

[Q] HELP with running android

Hey all,
I've tried running a couple versions of Android and unfortunately for me - they all get stuck on the black screen with white writing (relocating kernel etc... - right after you hit haret).
Anyone know where I'm going wrong? Android is on the root of the sd card.
Do i need anything else?
Obviously I'm running a hd2 - the aussie version T919blah whatever it is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Dude there was no need for this thread, Dont you think that this has been asked before or do you think that you are the only person to ever need help with this topic?
Please go and look at the forums, there are plenty of stickies and guides that clearly explain what you need and what to do to prepare for android.
You could've just pointed me in the right direction rather than being a jerk.
what rom?
what radio?
CW or not
we need more info

Need some direction

so my aunt purchased a Nook Color from a friend and he told her he rooted it so it has access to the Market and a Launcher etc. He said it was when it first came out, so I'm assuming it was done with Autonooker 1.01 or 1.1. He didn't do a great job because Softkeys doesn't work at all so it's kinda of a pain in the ass to navigate around.
So I want to upgrade her to the latest and greatest to give her more functionality and Netflix. I know I want to probably flash a custom rom on it like CM7, Nookie Froyo or etc. How should I start with this, should I do a hard reset?
Any direction where I should be looking would be appreciated.

[Q]root g100w 3.2.1

Hi
Is it possible to root packardbell liberty tab g100w version 3.2.1 ?
Thanks
up. please
Up for me too.
I tested the A500 root for 3.2.1 but gives this 'RED-error' message:
"Please download the newer image for the upgrade."
Current image version: PB_G100W_4.010.03_COM_GEN3
New image version: Acer_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1
Note: when using EUUs_PB_G100W_1.007.03_COM_GEN1.exe
(It's oficial EUU program for flashing PB_G100) found elsewhere ...
It doesn't gives me this message, so I suppose it's able to downgrade the firmware version??? ( I didn't go further ....)
Any advice?
up merci
hi, I've also got the g100, i followed the instructions in this video to root.

PB Liberty Tab
I have a PB Liberty Tab and see many refers to the Acer when rooting... Isnt there a clean "PB Liberty Tab rooting" thread/site around?
No, but the Liberty Tab is from hardware side identical with the A500. So there is no need for a separate Liberty tab thread.
With best regards, maris
Going nuclear. Softbricked Liberty Tablet q100w
Greetings XDA,
Can't find a way to post a new thread so i'll try my luck here.
I'm really close to bashing this tablet to peaces...
I've tried a lot of stuff but i'm kinda a noob for this. Have a softbricked Liberty Tablet q100w and i can't do anything to unbrick it. Just stays stuck on ACER logo and that's it. Tried the all the basic stuff that i could find around here but i'm all out of ideas.
Can someone please post a guide with WORKING links to the stuff i need to fix this damned tablet?
Where ever i go, "expired, non existing domain, this file doesn't exists, etc.." (can't enable USB debugging and download stuff to the tablet since it's bricked)
Thank you in advance,
Bumping in the name of science

**Any help please for acer A500 with rooting ICS 4.0.3 (total n00b)**

Hi all,i was a member of XDA (rejoined now + tegra owners) and MIUI forums a few years back but forgot how to do everything with android (bloody drink):silly:
Anyroad, got an old Iconia A500 (ICS 4.0.3)
I've downloaded mighty Thors : (tegra owners)
CM12.1-Tegraowners_ROM_v7t1
gapps-5.0.2_a50x_TO
update-recovery-TWRP-rev2.0-beta4
trouble is i haven't the foggiest what to do next?
I know i need to root it (how?) i think i used kingroot on my Xiaomi note 2...would this work here?
I've tried Blackthund3rs root program and it infected me with chinese malware which took nearly a day to get shot from my computer (i wasnt happy)
I've also tried the 'easy method' on here..and it came up unsuccessful
I could do with laymans terms the procedure to root and everything else..
A step by step guide would be fantastic for divvies like me :cyclops:
(from tegra owners forum)
"If you have problems, start a new thread on your own, we will help you. It would be nice if you could take notes of all the steps you did and PM me those, I would like to write a tutorial since lot of people are asking."

Another A500 user
I'm another A500 user in the same spot. Wireless stopped working properly and don't have an update to fix it since they stopped supporting after 4.0.3. That's what I have on mine currently. So I'd also like to know how to root it if possible and move past these problems! I've rooted another tablet before, and I know it's a very specific process of copying files and rebooting etc. But never done it on this Acer A500 and would like to keep it. Still runs great except no internet now. Some sort of common glitch, but I can't find any patches to fix it!
