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?
Also now I cannot install the upgrade 1.3, I cannot change the background, music and screen-saver because I don't have a setting, I cannot serf the web because I don't have yet the browser and I'm not yet root..
My poor Nook it's like The Hunchback of Notre Dame!
Thanks 
Chang

    Suppose the IP address is 159.25.31.43,  then type: <br/>
     ./adb connect 159.25.31.43:5555 <br/>
     ./adb shell <br/>

Hi,

I have just received my new Nook 3g+WIFI here in Spain, and my first problem is that I couldn´t type the spanish letter "ñ" in the nook keyboard. Do you known any way to do that? Thanks a alot.

Just returned from Boston to the UK with a Nook + wi-fi - what a great machine

Still getting my head round the system, but does anyone know if it is possible to make playlists as it appears only to do one for all the mp3's I have transferred.

Software version is 1.4.0 (not softrooted)

Cheers

Hi, I'm attempting to perform the softroot, yet my nook is stuck at installing the 1.0.0 software. I continues to say "installing software update" on the e-ink while the touchscreen periodically turns on and off says "restoring to factory fallback" yet no progress is made. The nook is completely unresponsive and holding the power button does nothing. Can anyone help please? It would be much appreciated.

== Does softroot unlock NAND? Is nandroid backup possible? ==

would be interesting to know.

: my q is does android have nand? and why would anyone care? full backup was possible until the latest nook revision - it involves [[Rooting|copy of internal sd]] card byte by byte. as far as structure here's [http://jf.andblogs.net/2009/12/23/nook-updates/ something to read] --[[User:Spec|Spec]] 20:18, 28 August 2010 (PDT)

reply to above:
Because anytime you are tinkering outside userspace with android, a nand backup is invaluable should something like an apparent brick or bootloop occur, and it seems like having this should be a very high priority for the devs.

== possible for softroot to be updated to include WMA and other file formats? ==

i imagine it would be possible to integrate the necessary codecs into the ROM

: since it supports mp3 what would be the point spending time on implementing wma support --[[User:Spec|Spec]] 20:18, 28 August 2010 (PDT)

reply to above:

a large amount of people have WMA content through a number of ways...they ripped music using WMP into WMA format instead of MP3, or have the title they want to borrow from their public library only being offered in WMA instead of MP3. The latter point is huge. The audiobook collection from libraries has a lot more content than MP3. Adding WMA support makes sense.

: you can convert it into mp3 and put it into nook. unless it's drm'd --[[User:Spec|Spec]] 04:53, 29 August 2010 (PDT)
