[Q] Mac attack!

---

Is anyone good at rooting the nc on a mac? some help please.

I have a Mac and just rooted mine. What do you need to know?

how to setup this memory card so i can root. mind walking me thru it via aim or google chat?

All I did was follow this thread. Step by Step on how to root using Manualnooter 4.5.2

You do need to burn an image of ClockWork Recovery to a SDHC card. There is a link to the file in the above instructions. Here are the commands you use in Terminal.

For Mac Users:
Open a terminal window.
Find which drive the sd card is mapped to: type in the terminal this:

diskutil list

Be very careful to identify the SD card and not your hard disk. Be VERY careful.

Now unmount that drive typing this:

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk#


(My computer was disk2 replace # with your number. Do NOT use the disk#s# )
The computer should say: Unmount of all volumes on disk<#> was successful

Type this to copy the file over to the sdhc card:

dd if=/path/to/4gb_clockwork-3.0.1.0.img of=/dev/rdisk# bs=1m


Everything needed should copy right over to the card.

TIP: drag and drop the image file from your finder into the terminal window, and the file path will fill in

TIP: you must replace "/path/to/" with the path where the auto-nooter image file is located (do not type "/path/to/")

On my 4gb class 4 sd card it took 10 minutes or so to burn the image.

can i do this with my 16 gb card?

also will this run the os off the sd or the internal mem?

This way of rooting the Nook Color is just adding to the basic B&N stock set-up. It adds the Android Market, YouTube, email, etc...

There are other ways to root your NC, that all you do is just pop in the SDHC card to run, and when you take it out you are back to normal stock.

if i do it this way can i run a different launcher to change the look?
