He is the first and only person to create a working root for the 8GB NT.
Please send him something to show your appreciation!
And for those people having a problem, it might be your SD card.
The Nook is really sensitive about card quality.
It also needs a fresh bootable partition to work.
Here's my advice:
Use an SD card reader, cell phone, camera, or something. Do not use the Nook. I used an old cell phone.
Using Windows (I used 32 bit Win7), download and install EASUS Partition Mgr (freeware)
Partition your card in EASUS Partition Mgr with a single 50MB FAT32 partition, name it BOOT, and set it to "active"
When the 50MB partition appears in Windows explorer, drop the files from Jichuan's pack into the directory.
Use the "safely disconnect" icon in the system tray to eject the card. Some say it will keep the card from getting corrupted.
With the Nook powered off, put in the sd card, connect the USB cable to your PC, then hold the N key and the power button til the Nook boots. If you see the Bauwks cardboard box, LET GO of the buttons. If you only see the Nook logo, keep holding it until the Nook shuts off. Then wait about 10 seconds and hold the power button and the N button again.
If you STILL don't see the Bauwks box, you might need to try a different card.
