You're making me wish I had waited a day to root. Everything's working great on my NOOK Tablet, but I would have loved to see this solution in action!
Has anyone come up with a way to unroot yet?
With a rooted device, can we remove the 1 G limit for non NB installs. If yes, what would be the process?
TIA
okay, here's what i tried to root mine:
I have allowed sideloading couple days ago, but I've installed Anycut to both Development and Application settings. The USB debugging options in both places in Development is checked, as well as Stay awakes. Auto mount was already checked, and i left it there. I have unchecked install from unknown source from App. settings.
When I plug into my windows XP, i ran the batch file NookandZergy, and initially tried to ping, and all i got was error: device not found. I exited.
What have i done wrong please? thanks!
I would like to say thanks to all that been working on this issue of Rooting the NT.
I did it and it worked fine. Now going back and fixing issues that I did before rooting.
I have a NC and NT and I am in the process of writing an application. Will post here at xdadevelopers for beta testers.
AGAIN THANKS A MILLION. I LOVE MY NOOK'S. I will not purchase any amazon junk.
If anyone needs me to test something pm me.
Done, and i do have the robot on left bottom corner. same results. Thx.

Do you have the right drivers installed and the adb composite device showing in device manager? Can ADB see the device at all on the first prompt in the script?
echo 0x2080 > "%USERPROFILE%\.Android\adb_usb.ini"
echo 0x2080 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.Android\adb_usb.ini"
This does not appear anywhere in Device Manager.
I tried it again. Does not work for me. Here are the problems:
I ran runmefirst.bat from an Elevated Command Prompt. First, the
echo 0x2080 > "%USERPROFILE%\.Android\adb_usb.ini"
line appears to be bogus. There is no adb_usb.ini file anywhere in the package, and no Android subdirectory.
Proceeding on anyway, I turned on my NT, made sure Unknown Sources was checked, made sure auto-mount was unchecked, and then unchecked and rechecked from top to bottom the USB Debug and Stay Awake boxes (two of each - I even did the top USB Debug twice). I then plugged in the NT and it showed up once again twice under Disk Drives, but not accessible from Windows File Manager.
I said what the heck, I'll try to install the new drivers. I selected one of the Nook Tablet devices under Disk Drives and went to pick my own driver. Browsed to the usbdrivers directory where the android_winusb.inf is located. I selected that and got a message that the folder did not contain a compatible software driver for the device. Something about making sure it was for a Win x64 based system.
On top of that I can't even do an Install directly from the INF file, as it is not set up to work that way.
*cough* http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/add-ons.zip *cough* Put that into your android sdk directory and you have the drivers.
I used the scan new hardware in device mgr, and installed the usb drivers. I am showing Android Composite ADB Interface under Samsung Android Phone. I still has usb debugging connected, but same results as before.
When I ran adb application, it created a folder (.android) under my Documents and Settings folder. and it exits immediately.
What am i looking for here? thx.
This thread has brought me back to wanting a NT. I was going to get a HTC Flyer, but I held off knowing that something like this would happen. Great job Indirect! Now it's time to go pick up my Christmas gift and get back into Android rooting.
Sorry for the dumb question guys lol. My skills at this are limited to flashing in CWM and metamorph. Is this rooting method an easy one-click method or do I have to run scripts in adb(which I know nothing about)? Also, will it work on a Windown XP machine?

<robertely> Also note, that while that box will remain checked, the setting is not persistant.
<robertely> So you have to flick the top 'Usb Development' box twice to get it working.
