Odin is a Samsung device thing. Similarly, hboot is for HTC and RSD is for Motorola.
Do you have an 8gb or 16gb model?

8 gb and yeah i knew that galaxy was odinable thats why i wasnt sure how to do the rooting and a cooler rom to my nook if it was possible
thanks
Safest thing is to just use a CM7 Rom SD card.
is there a video that shows from step 1 how to flash a rom on the nook and how to get cwm on there? thanks
I'm not 100% sure but I am fairly certain there is no CWM for the 8GB NT and thus those users have been sticking to booting CM7 from an sd card.
Perhaps we should start a donation drive for it...

If you want to run CM7 from your SD card, here are the instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22199348&postcount=1
Just download both zips in the SD VERSION IMAGE section, write the image to your SD using the included tool, put SD in your NT, power on.

I’m not really sure how this happened but I had my Nook Tablet booting CyanogenMod from its internal storage but now it will to only boot into ClockworkMod. Last time I had a problem with the Nook booting I followed the instructions I found on this webpage
raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/
but now this method is not working. After the Nook displays the screen that says “Please do not turn off your device, installing new software” it turns off and then I have to turn it back on again by pressing the power button. The Nook just goes right back into ClockworkMod. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to return my Nook to factory default software from this state or at least get CyanogenMod back?

Yes, you are on cm7. I thought you said you could only boot into clockwork mod?
Cyanoboot is a custom bootloader.
I made a bootable SD card to use for now since I can no longer boot from the Nook internal memory. I would like to be able to use the Nook without having to run off the card.

Okay well whatever you're booting off the sdcard for a rom really isn't applicable to fixing the internal memory.
Have you tried flashing a rom from the internal memory?
CM7 is what I had on the internal memory before this boot loader issue.
Since it's booting into clockwork mod, I tried installing some roms I downloaded and back ups I made from a 8GB Nook stock rom but they won't install. Says install aborted.

If I read this right, it sounds like you tried to restore backups from an 8GB model even though you have a 16gb model? I don't think thats what caused your issue or anything, but I'd just like to note that trying to flash roms/restore backups from different devices is a bad bad idea. The 8GB and 16GB models are, for all intents and purposes, different devices.
Now to address your problem. The fact that you can boot from sdcard is great. And with that knowledge, I would recommend using this method to reformat/reset your nook, allowing you to start over.
I tried to do the flashing of the 8GB back up rom to the 16GB after I had the problem so no, that is not what cause the issue. Thank you for the link I am downloading AdamOutlerUbuntuTotalReFlash.tar now and will let you know how it turns out.

Hey all, been reading a bunch on rooting the nook tablet so you would think I would be able to do this no questions asked but unfortunately I can't.
My nook is on that 1.4.3 so I am using this method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21895025&postcount=14
and there is no zip in that original download and there is no gapp. So I tried to follow the instructions from page 25 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583&page=25
and then boot to the CWM. Now I go to try and unzip the zip I downloaded from page 25, and none of those are zips (side note, for whatever reason when I unzipped the files from page 25 into a folder so I could grab them whenever. Windows encrypted them. So when I copied them to the SD card I un-encrypted them)
So my question to everyone is: Where is this actual zip file and gapp at? My end goal is to root my Nook tablet to either ICS or Jellybean 'permanently' so as not to keep an SD card in it.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
It's probably easier to just skip plain root and flash ICS or Jellybean. Would you rather do that or stay rooted on the stock ROM for a while?

but....I want to make sure I get a pretty stable flash going if that is the case? I can always flash back right?
Thanks for your quick reply Solar Plexus
Yes, you can flash back. Are you familiar with ClockworkMod recovery? The first order of business is to decide whether you want CWM recovery flashed internally or just run it from an SD card. I'm assuming you want everything internal, but just making sure.

I am pretty sure I have the CMW installed on a SD card right now because I can boot to the area where you choose a zip. You know when you boot and you get the white background and the box center on screen.
Is it best to have it internal?
Yes, the white, then the box, then black screen with a bunch of options in neon blue lettering. It should say CWM recovery at the top somewhere. You have this, correct?

You can keep it running from SD card or flash it internally. Either way, you'll always have the option to boot recovery from SD, that is, as long as you're able to boot from an SD card in general.
At any rate, you're ready to flash a new ROM. Download the ROM from the Development subforum that you want to flash and report back. CM7 is currently the most stable.

So the method in my first post makes my SD card a partition of 75mb or so. I won't be able to put the ZIP ROMs on to it. Do you have a link to a detailed instruction so I can write boot img on to the SD card without killing all my space? My SD card is 16gb.
Don't put the ROM on that SD card. Put the ROM zip and gApps on the internal storage of your actual NT (that's the /mnt/media partition). Then you can choose the option to "install zip from internal SD" in CWM.
Also, do you have a 16GB NT or 8GB? Which ROM will you be flashing?

I have the 16GB NT.
I think I will go with the CM7 mod, but I am so tempted to do the jelly bean CM10 mod. Have it on my galaxy nexus and love it. Edit: I have the stock 4.1 OTA update on my galaxy nexus not the CM10 mod
You might want to wait a little while. I get lots of black screens of death on my CM10 ROM. CM7 will definitely be an upgrade to what you're used to though, so don't worry about that.
Here's the directions for flashing a new ROM on your NT:
1.) Make a backup of your current ROM (just to be safe!)
2.) Advanced options -> wipe Dalvik cache
3.) Install your ROM.
4.) Wipe data and cache.
5.) Install gApps.
6.) Reboot and enjoy.

Hey thanks for the info, but where exactly do I throw this zip file onto the Nook at? You said to put it on internal storage. Can I put it anywhere?
Put it on the root of the /mnt/media partition. It's the partition that pops up when you plug your NT into a PC. Or navigate to it using the file explorer if you downloaded straight to the NT.

I have been using CM7 for quite a while now and recently it this week I have been unable to add apps or even update the ones i had. I would like to move on to a newer version one perhaps a little more stable than the rom i have been using as this one was a fairly early version. I tried the raywaldo reset to stock using a repart cart and it will not boot off the card. It always loads the Team-b CM 7 boot process. I can get to CWM via the reboot option. Is there a reason the repart.img isnt loading? WTF am I doing wrong here???

Check your SD card space. If it is none, get a new one and it should work. You need an SD card to download anything.
I have a 4gb and a 32gb card tried both.
Burn the repart.img to the 4GB card, pop it in the Tablet (powered up), insert the charger cable, connected to the charger and hopefully the repart will start.

The process of flashing a custom ROM does not need/use any component of the stock ROM, and a custom ROM replaces the stock ROM in its entirety on the NT active partitions, hence there is no benefit in returning to stock prior to flashing a custom ROM; see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for some more background info.

21APR2013 is a SDC image file and 31MAY2013 is just a .zip file ROM. With the 21APR2013 image file all you need to do is write it to your SD card with win32diskimager and put it in your nook. 31MAY2013 is RC3 (release candidate 3) which is newer than the image file. If you want the newest version I would suggest using the image file first so it can set up the partitions for you, then installing the RC3 .zip with recovery once you start your Nook.
I'd put effort installing an Official CM, they've been updated to stable.

The SDC image isn't official CM, it's a succulent build of CM. There are no SD versions of official CM. I like the SDC versions because I can expand the room in my partitions for more apps.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention, and didn't realize this was about new SD card builds. I'm used to the various builds by succulent as being from unofficial builds or paranoid builds. I assumed it wasn't. The last Succulent build I used was from Dec 2012, so it was still unofficial.
But I payed a bit more attention, and it looks like the May one is based off the Official CM RC3 build, which is pre-Stable. I don't think there was an RC4.
He's been focused on the Paranoid and PAC instead of the Official CM.

You can also create a CM10.1 SD card from scratch with cm_acclaim_10.1.0-RC3_31MAY2013_HD_SDC.zip and gapps-jb-20130301-signed-SDC.zip by following the process outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36685310&postcount=1.

Thanks for confirming the steps. The creating for the image from scratch seems a little complex and also the reason I'm doing on SD first is to test it out and see if I should just ahead and install CM10.1 internally.
I was wondering, with the SD Image does it "root" the Nook Tablet and install the recovery (CWM) internally or is everything on the SD Card. I'm asking because if I decide to install internally, will I nned to figure out how to 'root' and install the recovery internally and how difficult that would be.
Thanks!
EDIT: ok so wrote the 21APR2013 image to 8GB MicroSD card, interted it into the Nook Tablet, switched it on and it just boots into the regular Nook Tablet OS, nothing different. It seems I must have done something wrong but not sure what. The steps seemed pretty easy, download IMG file, format MicroSD card, Write Img using Win32 Disk tool, intsert MicroSD into NT, Turn on NT.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Nothing is installed internally when you run from sd.
Should you want to install interanlly at a later point it is possible to use the sd card you used to run from to boot into recovery, and then install from there. TheROM I use (Succulent CM10) then installs CWM internally, so it's there should I need it again. (For example for backup)

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for an overview of rooting vs. flashing custom ROM.
You don't need to root in order to install a custom ROM -- see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626.

Thanks for the info and the links. After reading the post linked, it mentions that many NT only boot from power off via a powered USB cable and not via the power button. Hmmm, must have missed that bit of info somewhere. I will give that a go later today.
