Nook refurbs still boot from SD card first. Just load CM7 from the card and have fun.

I have a refurbished nook color as well and ALL nooks can be rooted just fine. I would reccomend using cm7 as other roms have a lot of glitches and just aren't worth the trouble. Enjoy your new tab and stop by the nook color forums once and awhile.

I am lurking on the nook color forums already.

Ok maybe "Most" wasn't the best word to use but yes I know of 2 people that ran into this issue 1 returned it and got one that did work right and the other didn't care. Some refurbs will not boot from SD card. This may of been the reason it was returned in the first place and wasn't fixed before sending it back out but it does still happen.

For only like $20 bucks more this is an option and its even NEW:

All nooks boot from SD card first . They probably stewed up when trying to burn the image by not running the program as admin etc.

Lol a new pike of junk. Have fun with that What exactly is wrong with a refurbished item? They are put through more testing than a new item.

Cool story bro but i know what i am talking about. That tablet has no dev community, screen quality isn't anything close to the nook and flash 10.1 is very old even our OVs can run it. 10.3 is the newest and runs very nicely on the nook. The Nook is the best bang for your buck and has official CM7 support. Has a awesome screen and the battery can last 4 days or more. As I said before there isn't anything wrong with a refurb. They save you money. I bought one of my nooks refurbished for $180 that's 70 dollars off what i bought my first one for and if you put them next to each other you would not be able to tell the difference.

A Nook color can't serve the purposes I need which screen quality isn't my main interest. I need the hardware inputs for the field test equipment I use. I have a colleague who has the Herotab C8 and it works with all our hardware. So not really getting it for entertainment.
