Howdy everyone! It's thecubed / IOMonster again!
This time, I'm back with a MONSTER release
For all those asking "What's a Monster RootPack"? It's simple!
It's a SD card image containing a bootable Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 and a set of .zip files that allow you to root your device and install Google Apps (market, gmail, youtube, etc).
All you have to do is read the instructions-- it explains the rest.
Please be sure to read ALL the instructions first before using this utility!
All the instructions can be found here: http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/rootpack-instructions.html
Be sure to read through them!

Updates:
Version 0.7
New build environment!
New CWR sizes, rootpack reduced to 128mb image. (We now have 128mb, 1gb, 2gb, 4gb, and 8gb images!)
1.1 Rooting and Google Apps support! (thanks D3cad3nc3!)
FIXED: backup/restore from CWM now works correctly!
Version 0.5
Well, packages.xml is in /data/system, not /system .. oops.
Release of 128mb bootable Clockwork SD card also
Adds block-1.1.zip and unblock-1.1.zip to block the updates the easy way!
Version 0.4r2
Bugfixes. Lots of 'em.
Version 0.4
Fix root.zip and googleapps.zip permissions problems (/data/app and /system/app DO have different owners and permissions)
Bootable CWM base: No change; version bumped to 0.4 just because.
Version 0.3
Update to most recent Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 build (should have working backup/restore, and defaults to ext2/ext3 support instead of ext4)
Fixes root.zip and googleapps.zip bugs (can't believe I forgot a semicolon!)
Updates installclockwork.zip to latest Clockwork Recovery build supporting ext2/3
Version 0.2
Initial public beta release

This brings me to my final point: this rootpack has been tested on my device, but I'm sure there are still bugs! If you want a time-tested method for rooting your device, stick with AutoNooter for the time being.
BUT! I really need testers! If you'd like to test this, please let me know.
Questions/comments welcome!
woot! thanks iomonster! this will make my tinkering much easier, mwahahahaha!
CWR works beautifully booting from SDCard, you sir are the man of the hour I shall email you two internets!
However, I do not see the zip files you refer too (Does not really matter that much as by itself its amazing!)

The real credits go to the awesome dudes of ClockworkMod, nemith on IRC, FatTire on IRC, [mbm] on IRC, and a LONG list of other people that I am soon to credit with a rather large section in my instructions
Glad it helps!
EDIT: The zips are only in the rootpack_1gb.tar.gz -- they're actually in the sd image. Clockwork_1gb.tar.gz is just a bootable clockwork, for the people who just want a platform without any additions (and a speedy download! the rootpack is 24mb, whereas the clockwork card is only 8mb)
yeah, ive been too preoccupied with work to hop on IRC lately , i need to get my butt back in there... this weekend for sure.

something is up with the img file for the rootpack, it claims not enough space on my 2gb card and my 16gb card... cwr only img seems to be fine.. just a heads up
I take it back.... my work laptop is just a POS, my thinkpad does it just fine! whatever.... so much for Dell!

How big did it decompress to be? It should only be around 900MB... unless I accidentally compressed it wrong somehow...
Seems to decompress fine for me.. 941-ish MB.. should fit just fine on any SD 1GB or larger...
What If You're Already Rooted..
Can this be done or (groans mightily) do we have to revert all the way back to stock?
Ok, I followed the directions exactly, and the device went into a boot loop. It installed the Root, then tried to install the googleapps.zip and received an error 6. Tried rebooting and running the googleapps.zip again, same error.
Ultimately, I used the AutoNooter process and it worked perfectly.

Thank you for your feedback! I'll be sure to check out why the device was bootlooping.
As for the error 6, that'll be interesting to track down.. it's probably a missing semicolon somewhere haha.
One question-- when it was bootlooping, did you see the new boot animation? or did it just go to the "touch the future of reading" to the "n" screen and over and over again?
Well this is embarrassing! I forgot to include the modified ramdisk in the root.zip... your device started bootlooping because I renamed the ramdisk, but forgot to copy the new one in place! Gah! Oops!
This, sir, is amazing!!!!

I've got most SD builds working flawlessly... If there's any build you need, pm me. I'd be glad to help or share.
The stickied thread above also has the edited files for a lot of builds... I don't really think a new thread was needed about this. This probably should have been posted in the original build thread.
Help Hopefully
Hi Zarathustrax,
I am hoping you can help me I am just returning to flashing after about 4 months and see that NANDing is being done it was a theory when I last flashed and now see something else MAGDLR. Well at this point all I know is flashing to SD if i'm correct nand is the rom becomes your main rom when turing phone on no more WM bootup? What is the MAGDLR? Which way is best? If it's other than SD how do I do it? Where do I start?
I tried a MY Touch rom and really liked it but because so much has changed couldn't get it working fully and no one would give me any help (no response).
If your able to help I appreaciate it.
Magldr is the tool you flash to the phone first that allows your phone to flash android or wp7 to your nand, the internal memory. Yes, nand roms will replace winmo on your phone. Magldr also allows is to have wp7 or android on our nand and also still boot different sd android builds from the sd card also, allowing us to dualboot wp7 and android. The thread about magldr is in the nand android development section, and there are sticky threads about how to flash and install nand builds.

There was an awesome Sense ROM that was NOT HD/Z but had a flip clock. Do you remember/know what that was? I would love to boot that Via AD SD
otherwise just any regular Sense ROM (Desire port) that everything works in. The Z/HD ports always have some funky lag and serious battery drain, so can't really use as daily.
also FYI, this ROM freezes on startup every time (MAGLDR SD), seems like a bad rootfs.img or something...
Hi again everyone,
I've prepped an IMG file that you can dualboot Phiremod v6.1 and HC v4 2nd Edition off one SDcard.
1-The image file is 3.7gb. So you will need a 4gb SDcard or larger.
2-Both roms share the same SDcard partition. So on a 4gb card, the available space is limited to 1.8gb.
3-If you use an 8gb SDcard. To get use of the remaining storage on your SDcard. Just burn the image and then use EASUS Partition Manager to extend the SDcard partition. (Which is the 7th partition on the card)
4-I've udpated the Phiremod v6.1 with:
-The latest OC Kernel by Dalingrin 041811C
-Alsa update for smoother video playback
-Honeycomb Softkey Icons by XDA user Bawb3
I've done this mainly just for fun and to see if it would work and thought I'd share it with everyone if you wanna give it a go. Thanks to all the devs for all their hard work in getting these great ROMs for our Nook Color.

Follow directions from Nookdevs.com to burn the image to your SDcard.
Burning a bootable SD card
Once you burn the image to your SDcard. Power off your nook and place the SDcard in your nook.
-To boot into Phiremod Nook v6.1 just power on your nook with the sdcard in and leave it alone.
-To boot into HCv4 2nd Edition, hold the HOME button while powering on. Continue holding the HOME button until you see the "Android..._" screen.
Take it or leave it, just hope you enjoy it.

Edit 5/23: Updated Img with Phiremod 6.2 and Madcat's Honeycomb Hybrid-RC1
Reason for creating a new image and not just a flashable update is because the HC Hybrid /system was too large to fit on the original Dualboot img. So I prepped a new one for that reason as well as making the image smaller so it will definitely fit on a 4gb uSDcard.
What's included in this new image:
1- A 3.4gb Img file that should fit on any 4gb uSDcard or larger
2- J4mm3r's u-boot menu! (Read here for more info on how to use it)
3- Latest Phiremod 6.2 with Dalingrins 4/13a OC and Alsa update
4- Latest Divine_Madcat's Honeycomb Hybrid RC1
5- Honeycomb Hybrid RC1 has my sdcard mount workaround. I also included a file manager.
6- Read here for more info on the sdcard mount workaround.
7- Follow the steps above to burn the image to your uSDcard
8- Enjoy!
Keep in mind that the Honeycomb Hybrid RC1 is a work in progress so there are known issues. I suggest you read the OP in this thread here to see what's working and what isn't.

1-If you're still using the original Dualboot-SD img. Follow directions below from 5/5 update on how to install latest Phiremod to your Dualboot-SDrom.
2-If you're using latest Dualboot-SD v0.2 with j4mm3r's boot menu. Choose to boot into SD-->Recovery and flash from there.

Update 6/22-Phiremod Nook v7-Test Dualboot SD Package Update:
This will format /system and /data of your Phiremod rom. So please backup all your apps!
Well I went ahead and made it easier for everyone. So I packaged the whole Phiremod v7-Test as a CWM-SD Flashable zip. This will install phiremod-nook-v7-test, gapps, and will install the launcher-pro backup to the sdcard partition for you.
-All you have to do is download the 'phiremod-nook-v7-TEST-SD-CWM-package.zip' file, no need to extract anything
-Boot into CWM-SD and flash the package zip file
-Reboot when done
-It will prompt with 2 different options on startup, choose "Setup Wizard"
-For some reason it won't get past that, even when touching the Android guy, to get around this touch all 4 corners of the nook screen starting with:
1. top left hand corner
2. top right hand corner
3. bottom right hand corner (just above the 'change language' button)
4. bottom left hand corner (just above the 'emergency' button)
-That should get you to the main screen.
-Connect to a wireless network
-Market will not populate correctly, so go into the app drawer and choose 'Talk'
-That should give you an option to add a google account
-Once completed go back to the main screen and goto options--> preferences --> and restore the launcher pro backup
-You should now see Market on the home screen
-Don't forget to thank the devs!
-Personal thank you to "bdeville" for testing the .zips for me before I borked any more installations!

Edit 5/5: Update Phiremod to 6.2 and Honeycomb to Madcat's Honeycomb_RC1
1- I forgot to mention that with your dualboot rom SDcard. It also contains a Modded CWM that will allow you to flash updated roms from "my" thread only!
2- Place the .zips you downloaded from this thread onto your /sdcard (7th) partition.
3- To boot into the Modded CWM. When powering on your nook. Hold the "volume+/volume-" together while booting up, until it loads up CWM
4- Now select "choose zip from sdcard"
5- Choose the .zip file and confirm "yes"
6- Sit back and let it do its thing
7- You can either flash another rom or go back to the CWM main menu and choose "Reboot system now"
8- Enjoy your updated roms!

If you get a keyboard failure error on first boot. Just do a quick reboot and it should go away. Downloads from market seems very slow off an SDcard install. Might just depend on what Class it is. And remember. This is a WIP. Don't forget to thank Madcat for his work on this!

If I do this one, though, I get back one, maybe two of my 8 GB cards. So, win/win.

[ZIP][CM7] Nook Color SDcard and emmc swap!
Thanks very much Racks, it works really well. Finally get a chance to try Phiremod and honeycomb without using 2 SD cards!! I only have one, the poor guy that I am
I too loaded the image to a 4 gig card and it seems to work fine so far. Thanks for your efforts!
Thanks man.... It worked for me as well!
oops maybe I spoke too soon, the phiremod works ok, but, the honeycomb loader never gets by the screen with the android_ on it. I will reflash later without epanding the partition on the SD card to see does that make a difference.
(yeah I used an 8GB card and used easus to expand the 7th partition.)
Glad to see that this image was useful to some!

Didn't actually get to try it last night. Bandwidth trouble.
Downloaded, unzipped, flashed to a 8gb Sandisk card. Left it as burned.
Installed in Nook: Booted to Phiremod AOK. Rebooted into Honeycomb AOK*.
Shut down and put sdcard back in my PC to resize the sdcard partition. Hmmm.
Both EASUS and MiniTool show the card as 8GB unallocated (ie: no partition information available!!).
Put it back in nook and reboot. Comes up to phiremod AOK. Weird.
OK, second time around putting SDcard in PC, I got correct mount and could edit partitions.
glg
* - Honeycomb lock screen says "Running on internal eMMC" which we know is not true.
** - I love that you changed the POST message. Those of us in Pennsylvania see the stock message as Touch the Future of Redding (the city). Um.. Not without latex gloves, I think.

And regarding honeycomb mentioning it's running off emmc. That's because I took the complete zip from samuelhalffs thread without modification and prepped it for the SD install.

How would i benefit if i already have phiremod v6 installed emmc?
First ever post: Great Job!!
Have been a lurker in the site for the longest time. Been actively watching the developments in the HD2, NookColor and GTab forums.
Kudos to all the developers and modders who've made Android dream a reality.
And, a special thanks to you, who made it a double treat for people like me.
Only trouble, with this dual ROM (which I've to tell you, my friend, has blown my mind away), that I've not been able to overcome yet is, getting my XP Pro or Win 7 Pro to recognize my 7th partition (SDCard). Nothing I've done so far has helped.
Tried both ADB and NookColorUMS. I sure am doing something wrong. Any help is much appreciated.
Once again, THANK YOU!

Thanks for the kind words. Just remember to thank the guys who developed the roms. To mount the 7th partition try running the following command in adb shell:
#echo /dev/block/mmcblk1p7 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
This should mount the 7th partition. Let me know if it works.

I was looking to dual boot Phiremod and Stock on EMMC after seeing how awesome Phiremod is, but the place that I found supplying ROMs for dual-boot EMMC doesn't have Phiremod. Do you know where I could find it/do it (total n00b)
Source mentioned- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959461
Market script
Excellent work OP (and obviously all the devs that made the roms etc.). One quick question though, I first flashed this image on a transcend class 6 8gb card and, due to the low random write speeds, I experienced random sluggishness and force closes. I will be resolving this issue tomorrow, but another issue has arisen. When I first ran the market a script ran that asked which gapps i wanted installed. After it directed me to install the first two gapps the market force closed. Before I had realized that it was my SD card that was causing the force closes I tried reflashing the SD card with this image again but when I opened the market again after reflashing the script didn't run.
My question is this: When I flash the new SD card will the market script run again? And if not, how would I go about have the market script run again?
Thanks in Advance,
Deusx

Lol. Glad it's working out for you. Make sure you thank the roms devs as well.
Just long press the home screen and it will bring up options todo so in honeycomb.
Well here I am again,
Not sure if I should have started a new thread for this or not. And although I feel like there are more threads than needs to be in the Development forum at the time being. I felt like the SD image might have it's own issues unrelated to the EMMC version. So I wanted to keep it seperate. If a Mod feels different, please advise so. I'll be more than happy to remove the thread and have the file posted to Divine_Madcat's original thread.
**Disclaimer: As usual, use at your own risk. Backup! And I'm not responsible for anything period**
I've just prepped an Image for Divine Madcat's latest Honeycomb Hybrid RC1. I've included rookie1's dualboot u-boot.bin and my modded CWM for SD, for the purpose of easier updates in the future for the SDcard rom.
Although there is no option to mount an SDcard in this version. I was able to mount the 4th partition as SDcard. So now you can use a file explorer of choice to browse your SDcard partition. I'm not sure if the EMMC version mounted the internal Media partition or not. Not 100% sure, but with this image you should also be able to browse your /media partition on your nook as well. And remember to thank the devs for all their time and effort into getting this to us. All I did was prep it to work as an SD image.
Directions:
1-Download the update-HC-hybrid-rc1-sd.img.7z
2-Uncompress it
3-The .img file should be able to fit on a 2gb card or larger
3-Follow directions from Nookdevs.com to burn the image
4-Pop the SDcard in your nook
5-Enjoy!

Edit: 5/21 - Well since the world is apparently ending today sometime. Figured I'd at least let you guys try a working .img. So here is an updated .img with the apps installing issue fixed. Everything is the same as the last .img except for the fix and I included a file manager. If it hangs at the "android_" screen on first boot. Just do a hard reboot and it should be fine. Enjoy!
Edit: 5/12 - Seems like there is an issue with installing apps where it will do a soft reboot when attempting to do so. I won't have time to take a real look at it till this weekend though.
-You could push individual apps to /data/app via adb for the time being.
Code:
$ adb push app.apk /data/app
-Or to push multiple apps. Create a folder called data. Within that folder, create a folder called app. Then place all your apks in the app folder. Now you can push the whole directory to /data/app
Code:
$ adb push /your_home_directory/data /data

If I've helped out in some way, please say thank you in one way or another!
Thanks,

Awesome! Does this include anything new from 3.1?
Looks good. I was trying to install nook app from market but it kept rebooting. Thanks for the hard work..
Looking forward to giving this a try...
Whats the size of the image, what is the min/max size sd card required?
@Samir- nothing new. Direct image of hybrid rc1 by madcat
@Flyboy- I really didn't get a chance to test. Thanks for the info. Ill take a look when I can.
@Joenathan- sorry forgot to post img size. Its a 1.8gb image. So any card 2gb or larger should be fine. Ill update OP with size later
The more feedback the better. Can't fix things without feedback.
Thanks everyone,
Racks

Are there quite a bit of FCs with this version? I tried the emmc one and had to revert back to CM7 because it was too unstable.
Its a bit too big for my 2GB SD card, my sd card weighs in at 1,921,024KB whereas the image is 1,927,168KB
So 2GB SD cards are out....
Thanks Racks, just what I was looking for.
Well done.
crap! I has 2gb SD card too that I use for this.
Any chance of someone making an SD version of the xboxexpert's HC build?

Any reason for wanting that build? I ask, because it is out of date, and nothing more than some extra apps added by default. This version uses newer framework, and right now is advisable to use until a 3.1 build comes (especially with the SD card fix also made by Racks).
The ROM is nice, Honeycomb apps are much superior, but for me it runs too slow.
Using a class 4 generic SD. Anyone else having problems?

Not that the SDK is as fast as CM7, but i am willing to bet the problem is your SD card. Having used a crappy SD card myself, i know how bad they can be; invest in a cheap class 2 or 4 Sandisk card, and get blown away.
Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for as my next NC project

Divine,
For awhile I would see you posting around with random things in various sections and wasnt really sure if you were a troll or not, but lately youve pushed some truly amazing things like the work on dals kernel and now this update hc build and I truly am impressed with all your work. You have my complete respect. Thank you.

Ill certainly admit, i am not the most agreeable at time; commonly, i let my daily stresses flow out on to forums. I am easily annoyed at what i see as something stupid (which sadly, it feels like has been happening more in this forum).
As it is, I am happy i could have committed something useful to the community.
Apps
Great job! Love not having to flash between CM and HC to play with the 3.0 goodness. My only question, anytime I try to install an app it reboots.....Ideas?

You're the second person to say so. Is everyone having this issue? Is anyone having success installing any apps? From market or from a file explorer. I need more feedback so I can pinpoint the problem.
I'll have to take a look at this when I get a chance. Or if you don't mind posting a logcat? Just save a logcat to a .txt file and upload it here. I'll take a look to see where it's erroring out.
*I could be wrong, but most of the time when this happens, it seems to be a caching issue. But again, i won't know till i see the errors.

Hello,
I've searched many topics but still didn't work
My NT 16GB worked good till today. Today I want to flash a new ROM (CM10.1 rc5).
I though I made a mistake from here: from ROM Manager, I flashed the CWM to 6.0, but I might flash with Nook Color version :crying: and from this time, my NT is ALWAYS boot into recovery mode.
- I tried press Power and N button or 8 times fail reboots but it still boot into recovery
- I tried flash new ROM from sd card, and the status is shown Installing Update.... and then it shown Install from sd card completed!!! There was no any notification more (as usual). And after "completed" by this way, reboot and still went into recovery mode again
- I also tried flash new cwm version 6.0.x, wipe data, format system, data,.... and flash ROM again from sdcard but still didnt work.
- I also tried reset to factory default http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836 but it still boot into CWM again and again.
- and follow many topics on google search but still no luck
please anyone can give me a hint, let me see the way to escape the recovery screen :crying::crying: thank you so much!
I want to flash a new ROM, a fresh tablet to make a gift for my dad on father's day, but it is brick :crying::crying::crying:
I think using ROM manager to flash recovery may not work with our device (I may be wrong) but we don't have an official build of CWM.
Regardless.... Do you have adb set up? If so, does it recognize your nt?

Ok, no big deal yet. Lets try the following.
First you are going to need an extra SD card, one greater than 2G. Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21895025&postcount=14 and follow the instructions. This will give you the files and show you how to make a CWM bootable SD card (ignore all the steps about rooting your device in this thread for now). Note that this will repartition your SD card, so you will not be able to use is for much else unless you re-repartition it yourself.
To tell if this is successful or not, note the version of CWM you are now booting into, I am guessing it will be 6.0.3.1 (newest version) since you tried getting this from Rom Manager. If it is booting from SD card it should show up as version 5.0.x.x (I don't remember the exact version but it is older).
If you got it to boot from SD card then lets pull an updated version of CWM from this site http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery The older version of CWM may not work well with CM10.1. try CWM 6.0.2.9, make sure you download the flashable CWM zip and not the image file.
OK now you will need to put this zip file onto your SD card - there should be just enough room left for it, or you could put it onto a 2nd SD card (easier) Note: while in recovery you can take the bootable SD card out of your NT. Go ahead and flash the CWM zip. You should now have a working recovery. At this point try flashing a ROM of your choice.
Good Luck

Hello DavDic,
Thank you for your help,
I follow your link and I success to boot from SD card, and CWM version is 5.0.5, then I success install the update.zip too, unfortunately after removing the sd card and reboot, it still boot to CWM version 6.0.2.9 - this is the version that I flash from ROM Manager before my NT is bricked (I flashed wrong device when I choose Nook Color in Rom Manager)
So I try to reboot again from sdcard, cwm version 5.0.5, then flash new CM10.1 ROM, and reboot and still go to CWM 6.0.2.9
and again, I boot from sdcard, cwm version 5.0.5, flash to new cwm version 6.0.2.9, flash new ROM and still boot to CWM screen
So, I can create and boot from a Sdcard, But can not boot to OS, always go to cwm 6.0.2.9 screen (that I think the wrong file since I flash from Nook Color file ). Thank you!

I think your problem most likely has to do with BCB/BootCnt not getting reset properly, as described at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21381141&postcount=1.
If so, the easiest way of resetting these files is to flash Succulent's flashable_fix_bootloop.zip at his repo http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery.

You need to try and get an adb connection. I assume you are running Windows, if not............
But, what happens when you plug your NT into your computer. Do either of your drives (Internal/external SD) show up in my computer?

You should have an adb connection then. Before you jump into the total wipe attempt, try getting an adb connection. Use this first and see if it works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36650082&postcount=171
You will need the driver files for this though, let me know if you don't have them.

Well this is a start at least.
I think Digixmax may be on to something though.
@digixmax, I am at work and don't have an NT in front of me, do you remember which partition the recovery is in. I wanted OP to see if those two files were even there. He may have gotten rid of them completely inadvertently.

These two files are in the /bootdata partition (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for a list of the NT partitions and their content).
But if OP's flashing Succulent's flashable_fix_bootloop.zip (which basically re-install a fresh copy of these two files) didn't fix the problem then he might have wiped out some other critical components of the system.
I follow Adam's guide, unbrick my NT, and then flash new CM10.1 ROM perfectly.
Thank you again DavDoc and digixmax for helping me so much! :good:
Glad you got it working again

Hello,
First of all, if I seem to be rude or impolite, it's just because of my bad english, I apologize in advance...
I have bought a nook tablet 8G, cyanogenmod (android 4.3.1), as it uses to bootloop very often (and as it needs a simple wipe of data but a re-installation of the apk) every 4 or 5 boots, I thought it would be a great idea to re install a new cyanogen...I thought it would be as easy as on my samsung galaxy
But now, the only thing that it does is to reboot on recovery mode...When I try to power it on, it starts just like if it is ok, then it boots on TWRP mode (my CWM on galaxy seems to be more friendly). I have tried again to reinstall my rom, but it is said that it is "unable to mount data1".
I have also done a wipe dalvik cache but I prefer to stop and ask for further information before I do serious damages
I have also tried to install "flashable fix bootloop" but no way
Thank you very much !
Have you tried re-installing using SD-based CWM (e.g., see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51377882&postcount=163 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50828000&postcount=1)?
Hello Digixmax,
Thank you very much for your answer.
Before asking, I have searched and I saw this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692403, and I am very happy to have the opportunity to be helped by the one who posted it !
I haven't tried it because there are some parts that I don't understand very well but now I'm gonna try :fingers-crossed:
- I have a 32g sd card that I would like to use for my apk, shall I use it to install CM11 or shall I buy a new one ? Will a 2G sd card be sufficient ?
- What does "set the partition ID type for the partition to 0x0C FAT32 LBA and set its Active flag" mean ? To set = let it free ? "Set its Active flag", I have no idea of what it means, will I understand by doing the manipulation ?
- For the second part, I have to download next u-boot.bin and flashing_boot.img in boot.zip from https://www.mediafire.com/folder/xjwc1a482a6ll/Nook_Tablet but I don't know wich one to choose.
What does MLO means ?
For the other points, I think it will be ok.
Oh...Is it necessary to intall CM10 before upgrading to CM11 ?
Thank you very much Digixmax, I am sorry to bother you with such stupid questions

Since your NT is already on CM, you might want to try first the method to update from an older CM version to CM11 outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2670589.
