[HOW-TO] Root Honeycomb on Nook Color

[mbabajews]

architectjon - yeah - i got the same, with a bunch of crap spilled to the screen too.

the reason that he is using 'cat' instead of 'cp' to copy the command is that there is no 'cp' command on the machine! I guess that this isn't shipped in the standard HC install.

Anyway, what I did was to simply exit out of adb, and push the files 'su' and 'superuser.apk' directly to where they need to be, rather than into /data/local first. that did the trick.

So the commands?

adb push su /system/bin
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

I can't get this to work because I can't get my HC nook recognized as a device by adb. I tried it on my Mac and 2 windows machines, but to no avail.

Windows says the device driver is missing. I downloaded it from Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites! as per ADB Over USB - nookDevs, but I am not sure this is right for the color model. Windows says these are not the correct drivers. So where do I get them from? The Color version of that post assumes you have a rooted HC already

how do I install Titanium backup after I rooted it. I think I did everything correctly but I'm unsure what are the steps and where to put it.


Sorry for the stupid question, I'm guessing the late night is catching up with me.

The TBackup users guide covers this.

Outstanding work

My Nook runs better on this than on any other ROM.

No more WIFI issues at all.

I ran into an issue getting su because for whatever reason my Win7 64bit wouldn't work with honeycomb over usb. I setup usb to Win7 32bit laptop and was able to push su over to both system\bin and xbin - both or at least \bin was the key. Didn't work with \xbin.

I can now just use adb wireless and all adb and sideloading is great.

I am so impressed with the full screen game speeds.

Thanks and keep up the great work. MUCH appreciated!
Now I must get a good backup.

Rkgill (and any other interested parties):

After attempting to follow the steps outlined on this and other sites several times with mixed results, I ran across a sandisk microSD 8gig Clk 4 disk, preloaded with CM7, on Amazon. It is sold directly by them, and works like a charm. Faster and smoother by far. Also you get boot option choice on startup. $20 for disk and CM7/ with adapter.

Saves a lot of time and frustration.

Hope this helps! Cbill

Seriously? Stop spamming the same comment. Go do your advertisement somewhere else.

I have found a product that works very well in achieving booting CM7 from micro SD on their Nook Colors'. I do not work for Amazon or have any affiliation with any entity or persons connected to this product. I am not spamming; but I am trying to get the message to those having the same problems I, and others, have experienced. That message is; there is a very good, inexpensive solution readily available to them.

You, sir, on the otherhand, are simply displaying your immaturity and lack of knowledge by expounding negative, unfounded allegations and accusations.

If you have not tried the MicroSD I have suggested, what are your comments worth?

You don't need to post the same comment in more than one thread. The card is a rip off. They did not create any of the software on it. All they did is take it from the CM devs and XDA and take the two minutes to press the button on Win32 to make the card. The devs of the software receive nothing from the sales of these cards.

But don't listen to me because I'm immature and lacking knowledge.

Thanks for your comments, but I think I can make the decisions of where and when I should post.

You still don't seem to get it. The nook forums are loaded with persons having problems building bootable microSD cards and this is a simple solution.

I have rooted my OV, and I have built CM7 microSDs that worked (with some missing functionality). I then purchased this card and my NC was running smooth and fast on CM7 within 15 minutes of receiving it. I know hard; I know complicated; I know easy. For those with little or no experience, and wanting easy, as far as I an tell this is a good solution.

Nuff said!

About 98% of the problems with SD card installs are the cards themselfs. The only card that should be used is a Sandisk class 2 or 4. I have put this into all of my guides but people still seem to think that their SD card can handle it.
