Installed CM12.1 & Gapps 5.1 with these steps on Nook Tablet
These instructions are awesome, and I was finally, finally able to get my Nook rooted to the latest CM version (CM12.1 / Gapps 5.1) . It's been stable ever since I started it up and installed stuff on it. I was just about giving up after having to unbrick it several times from other instructions on how to root and upgrade. The problem I think is that a lot of the instructions are from 2012/13 with old versions of CWM/TWRP, CM & GAPPS and if the versions don't match, you are ouf of luck.
The one thing that might help others is at the end when all is installed and you start it up the first time, my screen went dark (with that light backglow) and stayed there for 15 minutes. I had already given up hope, but the it started up from the dark and load CM.
Thank you very much, digimax. I was just about to put a hammer to the tablet because I wasted so many hours on this.
These are the versions I used and they work.
