Hi I trying rooting the nook with nookDevs Softroot. I got stuck in the step 3: Step 3: Getting a root shell with the Android Debug Bridge I DON'T UNDERSTAND this: With the NOOK_IP being the IP address of your nook, enter the following:

adb connect NOOK_IP:5555

I downloaded and installed Android SDK. I found the IP address of my nook. In a terminal (command line) linux, I navigated to the "tools" directory in the Android SDK. I made: ls cd ./android-sdk-linux_86 ls cd ./tools ls

NOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO?? Can someone help me please?

After the adb connect, you can use "adb shell" to get a shell on the nook. You can then navigate around there. "adb push" transfers files from your local system to the nook, "adb pull" transfers from the nook.

You should lock the wifi on the nook, otherwise the nook may drop it while you are in the shell.

Just issue this command (when you're still in tools)

./adb connect your-nook-ip:5555

Remember the dotslash before adb
