This is a simple guide and script from Start to Finish on how to root and install all needed programs to your Nook Touch. Enjoy If you find anything wrong with my script please let me know but I think I ironed out all the bugs during testing.
Disclaimer: Try not to break anything...and if you do its not my fault. If you think its broke hold the POWER button down for 20+ Seconds to Factory Reset the device.
Requirements:
Nook Simple Touch
WinRAR Archiver
512+MB/GB microSD
External USB/Internal USB Memory Card Reader
Dedicated Wifi Connection with Good/Excellent Signal!
Tweaked/Additions:
Full Superuser Access
Updates are permanently blocked!
Unknown sources Enabled (install non-Market applications)
adb debugging is active [mostly for developers]
Ability to replace the Authors ****ty pictures
Ability to remap the left buttons to Menu & Back
Market Installed & Working! Login to YouTube with your GMAIL!
Software Included:
AdFree (Block those nasty ad's) [Wi-Fi needed]
Button Savior (Displays Softkeys)
gTab simi Clock (really awesome clock for your desktop)
Kindle (read your Kindle books on Nook, lol) [Wi-Fi needed]
LauncherPro (default launcher instead of Nook base launcher)
Superuser (provides a list of applications that use superuser access)
Instructions
Step 1:
Run Win32DiskImager provided in this package. Select your 512MB or larger microSD card under Device. Be certain your microSD card drive letter is selected and not one of your hard drives. Click the little blue folder icon and find the img file “noogie.img”.
Once the image is selected click “Write”.
Step 2:
Safely eject your card and insert it in the nook while it’s completely powered off.
Plug in the USB cable and the light next to the USB plug will blink Green/Orange.
Step 3:
At this point you should see a Forever Rooted screen on the nook. Open Windows Explorer and find the drive labeled “boot”. Take note of the drive letter you will need it later on in the process.
Final Step:
Run xe-autonook.bat and follow the instructions
Once all said and done update your Vending.apk with this one for updated market and WORKING SEARCH
