Manual Rooting, ADB, Gapps on the nook simple touch:

Setting up adb manually on the nook touch:
  • If you want to restore, wipe data, or reset your nook, FIRST read how to backup your anotations and then search on this post for: Totally uninstall Gapps (my repack), unrooting, erasing and restoring.
  • Download noogie, and burn it into an SD-card (http://www.multiupload.com/OFI609MP8V) use Win32DiskImage.exe.
  • Shut down the Nook Touch completely your NST http://www.multiupload.com/CJ981FWPJG
  • Insert the SD-card into your Nook, connect it to the pc and turn it on.
  • When the nook ends booting (you should see a rooted forever splash screen on it) wait 20 seconds, you should see a new drive named boot, if not, go to MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition look for a partition named boot and assign it a letter.
  • Open boot, and replace the uramdisk, with one of these (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1337653).
    This tuto is all made for the Wifi-uramdisk, if you want to use the usb change all the "adb connect yourNSTip" into "adb devices".

    If you finally want to use adb over usb, follow this to make the nook recognizable by adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1&postcount=12or install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...3&postcount=11.
  • Eject the nook from the pc and reboot the NST without the noogie SD-card.
