How to gain root on Stock 1.2?

---

Did someone know how to gain root on Nook Color Stock 1.2

Is not possible for now.

Can I install CM7 on top of it from SD card? Is it possible to get instructions on how to do, there are so many threads floating with so many downloads links for different modifications, it just gets me confused

I might be talking out of my ass, but I thought that the Nook always booted from the SD card first. So if you have CWM on your SD, it should boot from that, and then you can install CM7. Unless 1.2 changed the boot order.

Also, this is the guide I used for CM7. I have rooted/returned to stock a half dozen times, and this was by far the easiest root.

It's now possible, if hackish, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1051235

I personally had issue with his steps. I had to download a new busybox for TB to get root. Also the Google Apps don't work ATM (I get bootloop at animation). Also the su binary he provided is out of date, there's a newer one available I had to download and flash (link in same forum on page 3 or 4).

from stock 1.2 (this worked for me) -->

1. create nooter 0.2 sdcard to allow adb access (will lose on reboot)
2. adb shell and mount /system rw

3. exit adb and

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
adb push su /system/xbin/su
chmod 04755 /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su

4. while i was at it, i adb pushed softkeys and nookcolor tools to /system/app --> adb pushed the live wallpaper files and then adb install'd a few apps

5. reboot

If you just want CM7 running off SD card without messing with your stock Nook at all, use verygreen's installer. Follow the guide precisely and you're done.
