- I would like to root my Nook Color HD, but the files on most of the How TO websites, are either too old, and can't be used. or the files have corrupt links. Is there any place that has good files to download?
Thanks!

Do you have a Nook Color or a Nook HD? Those are separate devices, there is no "Nook Color HD".
The method will be different depending on which one you have. And you'll need to decide if you just want to root the stock Barnes & Noble ROM, or flash a custom ROM.

What would happen if you renamed the Cyanogenmod 7 file to match that of a Nook Color update, and then put that file into the root of an unrooted Nook Color?
My first guess would be nothing as it wouldn't be "recognized" by the unrooted NC OS as something to be acted upon. Presuming the user doesn't "do" anything that is......begs the question though....why? Just curious.
I was just wondering what would happen. Thanks for your help.
Sorry if it's too late to post to this thread, but I've been doing a little research on update.zip files. What would happen if you signed a CM7 file with the right 'signature' and then put it onto the root of a stock Nook Color?
I have my NC set up with NC1.42 stock as the alternate boot and CM7.2.0 RC3 Kang as the primary with both internal on eMMc.
I have successfully added epub titles to the stock/alternate boot side that show up as they should in my NC library.
However, for the life of me, I cannot find the file folders that contain my epub/mobi titles on the CM7...side for either the Nook or the Kindle app that I use on that side!
I would like to keep the stock and app Nook loaded with the same titles which (prior to my recent manual title loading) was never an issue. I would also like to manually add mobi titles to the Kindle app.
I have used both Root Explorer and File Manager to no avail in identifying those specific folders.
When I connect the USB cable to my NC, I get two drives: "H" which appears to be for CM7 and "I" which is where I manually load files for the stock side.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
So you have root access on your nook? I use a file explorer from the android playstore called "ES file explorer" , you just type in your books into the search function and that file explorer will track down whatever loaded content you have on the nook.
On mine the books by default on the nook color are located on the mnt/emmc/B&N downloads/books
I haven't changed the path for this since I rooted mine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Keep in mind when you transfer files off of your computer onto your nook on what the file path is. You could of transfered those files anywhere on the nook if you was not paying attention and might be in a different path. Just use that search function with that file app I gave you. Its free on the android playstore.
The problem is not on the side where my stock 1.4.2 is. The issue I am having is finding the equivalent folders on the CM side for both the Nook and Kindle apps.
It would be located under the /emmc directory. Browse all the way up to root to get there.

B&N content is in /sdcard/Nook. Amazon content is in /sdcard/kindle.
A good file explorer is a valuable tool. I use Root Explorer.
Still no luck under either eMMC or SD Card. Can find only those titles for NOOK that are part of 1.4.2 (sd card).

Help!!!
I have a dual boot setup with 7.2.0-RC3-Kang on eMMc normal and 1.4.2.keep-CWM on eMMc alternate.
This is by far the most satisfying iteration (of many) I have used on my original NC.
However, I cannot for the life of me find the path to the folders where my Kindle and Nook books are kept for their respective apps on the Normal/7.2.0-RC3 side.
I have used both the Root Explorer and File manager apps to no avail.
The files for my 1.4.2 Nook books are clearly on the sdcard.
In the eMMC sections I can examine, both the Nook and Kindle folders are empty even though I clearly have books in both.
Uploading to BN and then d/l to the app is not an option for several titles I want on the "apps" side.
Thanks in advance.
Also: Is there a 1.4.3-keep-CWM in the offing???
Unless you have moved the files on your nook color for your books, the native location for your book files is in the /mnt/emmc/My Files/Books.
Also check in the /mnt/emmc/B&N downloads/ for any books you downloaded from B&N.
You should not need root to find these files. So unless you deleted those files or moved them that is the correct path for them. I have not moved mine on the nook color since I had it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To find lost files on your nook color since you now have it rooted just download a file manager app called ES file explorer, make sure in the options of that app you have 'root explorer' enabled, and type in the file or book you want to find in its search bar you want to find in that app.
Because I try to use [N2E] 2012-01-03 multilanguge for NST on NSTG.
But they make my nook loop reboot. I think I have some problem on framework-res.apk.
that may be not support on new version. And I forgot to backup before update. :crying:
so, Plz up upload framework/framework-res.apk from Nook simple touch with glow light.
The framework-res.apk is different on the Touch and Glow.
For backup files, unzip this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25557213&postcount=10
Thak you very much
Barnes & Noble are not very good at listing warnings about minimum requirements. I bought a few apps for my Simple Touch Nook and when I tried to get them - I found out the hard way they were not compatible and that I will need to get newer hardware for them to work.
My Nook is rooted and modded.
Can I download the apps i paid money for from B&N in ANY other way and get those .apk files I bought, or is the absolute only way to get those .apk files to have a newer nook, download them to it, and only then extracting them?
Thank you.

Sadly, this is the correct answer.
Thank you.
Does the newer nook have to be rooted for me to get those .apk files?
Can you log out of someone else's newer nook, log in with your own B&N account, pull the apps from your B&N account to their newer nook then simply get the apk files from it and load the apk files on any new Android device?
Then log out of your B&N account and log the original owner back in.

All of that should work, yes.
Since I would have limited time to access someone else's nook, would you please post how I can access the downloaded apk on a newer nook, where are they stored exactly, does the nook need to be rooted for me to get them?
Thank you.

- The device does need to be rooted.
- The rooted, newer Nook will need to have ES File Explorer installed, with Root Manager and Show Hidden Files turned on.
- The .apks will be in /data/app. You can copy them to the sdcard from there.
- After that, put the .apks on your PC, copy them to your Nook Touch, and install them.
Thank you for posting.
Would you clarify. You say "The device does need to be rooted" but that is immediately followed by "the rooted, newer Nook will need to have ES File Explorer installed."
So in order to pull the apk files, does the newer nook have to be rooted or not?
If I have a ES File Explorer apk, how do I install it from an sd card to a newer nook, where in settings do I need to allow it to install the external apk of ES File Explorer and how do I install ES File Explorer on a newer nook.
But the most important question is can you clarify if the newer nook needs to be rooted or not?

Both Nooks, the Touch and the Tablet/Color/whatever-your-newer-Nook-is, must be rooted.
You will need the app NookColor Tools (Google it) on the newer Nook to allow non-Market app installation.
