Anyone got a mirror for this? The link is broken, I've waited more than the 3 days and I have emailed and not received an email back.
[SD Root] Make 16 or 8GB Nook Tablet Root SD Cards by Albert Wertz [SDNT16or8gbV4.7]

What exactly are you looking for a link for? I have the 8/16GB version 4.7 file and the 2.3.1.1 TWRP touch recovery zip that you can flash from there. I don't have any ROMs handy for it, though.
I'm looking for the "SD_ROOT_NT16or8gbV4_7" File. I plan on using CM nightlys for a rom, but for right now I'm just trying to root.
I'd suggest you try the rooting method posted at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31271965&postcount=240, which also uses CWM recovery running on a bootable SDcard and which contains relatively the most current rooting content package.
See also http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for more pointers/tips.
I already attempted with this one and was unable to get it to work after 3 or 4 tries. I have an 8 gig Nook tab, I'm not sure if it works correctly for it. Nothing I have tried yet is able to get the CMW SD card to boot, my tablet just refuses to turn on with the SD card in it. Any idea why?
Many NTs (including mine) will only boot off SD card from a power-off state and upon insertion of a powered USB cable.
I know. Thanks for the link. I ended up just building my own bootable SD and now it works. I have no idea why I was unable to make any of the other premade ones work. But either way, this works out and It should all be good now. Thank you.

60Does NOT work on Nook COLOR. Nook TABLET ONLY. There is a difference.
NEW SD CARD image, Version 4.7 Files cleaned up, for 16and8GB NT only, ANY version
changed hosting, spent some cash, donations appreciated...
Code:Changelog 4.7- removed keyboard to be separate patch, removed amazon to be sideloaded. 4.6- Patch now 8gb and 16gb 4.6- restructure files again 4.5- LIVE WALLPAPER, 3d Gallery, Custom Keyboard, and changed files to one flashable small image and zip file. New instructions, also link to supplemental app package so download for root files is smaller. 4.4- Restructured files and added an instruction txt file to make the process even easier to follow. 4.3- Added a couple of extra apps to sideload folder 4.2- deleted readme file 4.1- changed sd image file to install faster, follow steps below same as before.
ROOT through SD card doesn’t require custom Drivers! You are still responsible for following root process to achieve root. Warning- Always make backups of your tablet. I am not responsible if you mess this up or brick your tablet. You do this at your own risk!
DO NOT MIRROR these files.
This process is heavily dependent on the work being done here plus additions of my own!
Thanks to:Indirect, Loglud, ChainsDD, Bauwkz, Nemith, Goncezilla, Brianf21, AdamOutler, Meghd00t, AND Albert Wertz (for his work here and building on others work)
And anyone I have missed, please PM me.

Troubleshoot Thread here
Computer required to make SD card. No Computer Required to Use SD Card for Root and CWM depending on the variation of NT you have. There is one variation that does require a USB connection to enter CWM. You can thank barnes and noble for poor quality control.
***Disclaimer You do this at your own risk, Use your head, if you are not comfortable with this, dont do it. Rooting nulls your warranty if you try and return a rooted device, they and I will laugh at you. Unroot it before returning. This modifies the onboard Rom, So root will be on your tablet after using Root SD card.***
Windows required; mac and linux users: just extract the img file from the downloaded file and mount it to an sd card. its that simple. If you dont know how to mount an IMG file to your SD card... Google it.

If anyone is still looking for the 4.7 file, I've got it in my dropbox4I can send it to you in email. send me an email at androidshrink@gmail.com and I will email it to you. The links will be back up in 3 days. Someone was abusing my links again. Every time this happens, the server goes down for 3 days. This is why I request emails on the R3 file. Someone must have posted it and it abused my bandwidth. People dont realize there are bot downloaders out there that mess things like this up.2FAQ
Q: When I restart I get error with Unrooter app
A: Uninstall unrooter app and just copy it over to Media folder or another SD card, It can be manually pulled out of files from PC as well, You dont have to install this now. Is only used when need to Unroot.
Q: How do I get my full size SD card back, is only 70mb?
A: Go to settings, about your nook and unmount sd cart then chose to reformat. Will restore back to full size.
Q: When I run update.zip nothing happens
A: You are not following the directions correctly. You didnt replace the files on the disc image with the new folder files. Or you are not looking for the files on the sd card like the directions say. There should be no Update.zip. Watch the video if you are having trouble. The 2 zips to install are on the external SD card so you must chose that option in CWM.
Q: Does this unlock BN partition?
A: No, but they are working on it for roms and you have to root and install CWM to install roms. but roms are not released yet.
Q: When I put the SD Card in and Turn it on it does nothing but boot.
A: Well, you were probably version 1.4.1 or had that installed before and tried to follow the instructions for 1.4.0, Try following the instructions for 1.4.1
Q: I Patched OTA Block with Titanium backup and not 9.9.9, still 1.4.*
A: Reboot and it should change.2Power Off
Not suggesting that you did anything wrong.
I have seen this with my NT8 several times under different scenarios. Particularly when I change SDCards.
Somehow, the NT is not fully turned off and appears to be in some kind of debug mode.
Holding the power button down for an EXTENDED time (once for over 2 minutes), forces it to shut down. Then, the next press will power on correctly.
YMMV but it works for me. I have to do it FREQUENTLY.
