My fiancee was complaining about the nook. Her son gave it to her and it introduced her to android. (kinda). Since then she's also had a G2 and now an S4 and began to realize she wanted more out of the tablet. Gave me reason to play. I perused the forums but decided i wasn't gonna buy an SD Card reader to make something happen. Went ahead with a reckless attempt to get this far without using an SD Card at all, much less a bootable one. Here goes...

1. first, i plugged it into the laptop and used wondershare mobilego (needs usb debugging) to install kingroot 4.6.2
2. ran kingroot.... successful. (now, at this point if you reboot, the nook will bootloop a few times then factory restore itself. this is documented in the forums... it checks system files...la la la. dont reboot.)
3. next, get Flashify from the playstore or wherever and install it.
4. use flashify to install TWRP recovery.
4a. at this point, sort of for good measure i installed verygreen's modded boot.img from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437575. Not sure this step is necessary at all but, i did it. Just save it to the root of the internal sd card. Go ahead and download the Cyanogenmod image (emmc) and put it there too. I used 10.2.1 stable frome here http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hummingbird.
5. reboot to recovery. this is how i did it. http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/80114-how-to-boot-to-recovery/. The first reply.
6. You should be in TWRP by now. At this point, i flashed the boot image again, then cyanogen, rebooted and enjoyed CM.

Maybe this will help somebody. I am no developer but, i'll help any way i can.
