Hacking Your Nook Color Into a Full Blown Android Tablet

This guide will teach you how to root your Nook Color into a Android OS Tablet. Originally this guide was from  NookDev's Guide


BEFORE YOU START, you'll need a MicroSD card with an MicroSD card to SD adapter. You'll need at least 128MB of memory on it, but it's recommended to carry a 1GB. (Besides, who carries a 128MB SD card in today's day and age?).


Step 1: Charge up your Nook Color and then power on your Nook Color to register your Barnes & Noble account on the device. (Make sure you register, as you will not be able to do this after you root your Nook Color).


Step2: Mount the SD card to your Windows PC and make sure you format/erase everything on the SD card and remember the Assigned Letter to this SD card.


Step 3: Download this program called Win32DiskImager.


Step 4: On your Nook go to, "Settings" -> "Device Info" -> "About Your Nook Color and Check Software Version"


Step 5: Download this program called Auto Nooter (by GabrialDestruir). This program creates a bootable image on your SD card for booting your Nook Color. You'll have to download a specific Auto Nooter version based on the version of your Nook Color.


Here's a small table to figure out which to download:
Nook 1.0.0 -> auto-nooter-2.12.18.img.zip
Nook 1.0.1 -> auto-nooter-2.12.25.img.zip
Nook Later Versions -> NookDevs guide


Step 6: After downloading the appropriate version of Auto Nooter, open Win32DiskImage.exe


Step 7: Navigate to where the Auto Nooter file you downloaded is located.


Step 8: Click the Drop-Down menu and select the assigned letter to the SD card.


Step 9: Click "Write". The program will format the SD card and copy the bootable image to the SD card.


Step 10: Remove the SD Card from your computer.


Step 11: Hold down the power button on your Nook Color and Power Off.


Step 12: Insert the SD card into your Nook Color.


Step 13: Plug in the Nook Color to your PC via USB. Your Nook Color will now boot.


Step 14: If using Auto Nooter for Nook Color version 1.0.1 or later, your Nook Color will reboot after the root process and proceed to boot normally.
If using Auto Nooter for Nook Color version 1.0.0, once the device shows in Windows wait at least 5 minutes for the scripts to complete and then discounnect the USB cable, remove the SD card, and hold down the power button for 15 seconds to boot your Nook Color. You'll see it boot to the new boot sequence after the Nook Logo.


Step 15: After booting, you'll notice the Android logo. Proceed with the setup process and register your google account. You have successfully rooted and installed Android OS on your Nook Color! Congradulations!

DealStartsHere: How to One-Click Root your Android Phone (Droid X)

Hey guys, I thought I'd write a small guide on how to root your Android phone. The Droid X in particular! I've gotten a lot of requests from people who need help rooting their phones. I'm kind of surprised because a lot of guides are already on youtube or google! The Droid X is an amazing phone by the way, just got mine a month ago and am loving it!

Step 1: Make sure you're logged into your PC with Administrator Rights!
Step 2: Make sure you download "RootMyX2." Unfortunately, this only works for Windows Operating Systems (Sorry Mac Users).
Step 3: Extract the files in RootMyX2. (Make sure you remember where you extract them!)
Step 4: Now take out your Droid X and go into USB Debugging Mode! You can do this by going into Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Then check the USB Debugging box.

Step 5: Now connect your phone to your computer via the USB cable and make sure it's synced via the drop down menu on the Droid X!
Step 6: Go to the folder where you extracted RootMyX2, Right-click RootMyX2.exe and select Run as Administrator.


Step 7: Here's the tricky part! Click... "RootMe"


Step 8: Enjoy your rooted phone! You should see a new icon that says "Superuser" on your phone, this is how you can check it your phone is rooted.

Optional: To unroot your phone, just follow the steps, but at Step 7 click UnRoot Me. Simple.

DealStartsHere: iPad 2

So this weekend I fell into temptation and bought the iPad 2. I waited for hours in an ridiculously long line, only to spend several hundreds of dollars. But it was worth it! =D


The iPad 2 is such an amazing piece of technology and such an improvement from the previous iPad. I decided to go all out and purchased the massive 32GB iPad 2, although I am unsure of the content I can accumulate 32GB with. The screen is a beautiful 9 inches and a vibrant, crisp one too. I decided to watch Avatar on it and found that my eyes weren't straining at all!


I think what motivated me to buy the iPad 2 was the review/comparison I conducted last week. You can see it on the previous posts I've made on my blog. After using and studying the iPad 2, I was sold!


After I purchased the iPad 2, I immediately purchased a case protector for it. After it is and was a hefty investment. Luckily I work at DealStartsHere, so I was able to get one for free. Oh, the perks to my wonderful job! Fortunately, you too can get a case protector for your iPad 2 or Tablet PC at a very low cost! You can found some of our cases and covers if you CLICK HERE.

DealStartsHere: The Apple iPad 2 and Other Tablet PCs

So recently I've been reading up on Tablet PC's and the iPad 2. I actually went to a Fry's and an Apple Store to try one for myself. Man was I blown away! The technology in today's tablet PC's are amazing. I almost considered selling my Droid X and downgrading to a clamshell phone, just so I can buy a Tablet PC! But I do love my Droid X, so she'll be with me for a while.


First, I went to the Apple Store to try the iPad and was hoping they had the iPad 2! I was taken aback when I used the iPad for the first time. It was like a huge iPhone or iTouch and felt comfortable to use. I immediately familiarized myself with the User Interface and knew exactly what I was doing. Easy-of-Use and simplicity: one of Apple's products strong points. I noticed though, that the on the iPad 2, the expansion capabilities were very limited. Almost non-existent. There was no HDMI out and no SD Card expansion. As a technical kind of guy, this was a turn off. I've heard that there are adapters that could connect to the dock connector of your iPad to add a SD Card expansion or HDMI out. I believe we do sell some on our website too. You can buy an SD Card Expansion Reader HERE.  Cosmetically, the iPad 2 was sleek and look amazing, but I did account that, if purchased, I may drop the iPad 2 several times without warning. Already online stores are selling iPad 2 Cases and Covers. WE'RE EVEN SELLING CASES AND COVERS! You can purchase some HERE.


Despite the technical limitations of the iPad 2, it does sport a nice 9.7 Inch LED Multi-Touch Screen @ 1024 by 768 Pixels (132 pixels per inch). The screen also incorporates IPS Technology according to Apple. On a more internal perspective, the iPad 2 executes processes with a 1GHz Dual Core Chip, which was a custom Apple A5 Design and 512 MB of RAM. Like many processors today, Apple engineered the chip to run at peak performance while keep power consumptions at bay. Inside, the iPad 2 utilizes a Three-Axis Gyroscope, Accelerometer, and Ambient Light Sensor. Nothing we haven't seen before, but it's good to know Apple is keep up with technology! I was impressed to find that Apple finally added GPS and an HD Video Camera to the iPad. After seeing the capabilities of the iPhone and other Android Phones, I couldn't wait to see these features on a Tablet PC. The iPad 2 also incorporates a Built in 25 Watt Hour Lithium-Polymer Battery and up to 10 hours of battery life (normal usage).


Over all the iPad 2 was an impressive and fun Tablet PC to toy with. Apple's utilization of UI and Easy-of-Use make the iPad 2 a device for simple folk or Tech Savvy gearheads.


The Apple iPad 2


After playing around with the iPad 2, I decided to check out a few more, non Apple related, Tablet PCs. 
I found the Samsung Galaxy Tab, specifically the P1000, to be just as user friendly as the iPad 2. The main reason I found the Galaxy Tab to be easy to use, is because it was modeled after the Samsung Galaxy Cell Phone. Since I've had a Samsung Galaxy Phone before, I felt very comfortable using the Tab. Despite having used a Galaxy like device before, I believe if you've seen or used any Android OS before, you should feel right at home.


The Galaxy Tab has been fitted with a 7 Inch WSVGA (Widescreen Super Video Graphics Array) TFT (active matrix) Screen @ 1024 x 600 Pixel Resolution. Although not as big as the 9 Inch iPad 2 screen, 7 Inches felt quite alright. There have already been talks of integrating AMOLED Technology in the up and coming Samsung Galaxy Tablets, so be sure to keep an eye out for that! On the inside, the Galaxy Tab is powered by a Cortex A8 1GHz (Hummingbird Processor) with 512MB (ROM) and 592MB (RAM), although not as fast as a dual core, it was sufficient enough that it didn't keep me waiting for pages or apps to load. Unlike the iPad 2, the Galaxy Tab is expandable via a Micro SD slot. Up to 32GB's too. Unfortunately, the Galaxy Tab is fitted with a measly 3 MP Camera with Auto Focus on the backside and a 1.3 MP Camera on the front, which allows video conferencing capabilities. As far as battery life goes, the Galaxy Tab, also, is capable of 10 hours of normal usage, and an impressive 7 hours if watching High Definition videos.


Cosmetically the Galaxy Tab doesn't look as sleek as the iPad 2, but felt extremely comfortable and light in my hands. It was handheld, not "handsheld." I would be afraid to drop this Tablet PC too or any Tablet PC for that matter so I looked into the Covers and Cases they sell and compared them with our CASES and COVERS.


Overall the Samsung Galaxy Tab, isn't up to par with the iPad 2, but it gets the job done for an average consumer.. I am aware that I am comparing two different types of technology, within two different time frames. It's just nice to see how rapidly  technology is advancing. Already, several years after the release of a consumer Handheld Tablet PC, advancements are being and have been made, further propelling us to the future.
