Root Nook Tablet In One Click On Mac [How To]

324273-nook-tabletEarlier we brought you a guide on rooting the Nook Tablet in one click, and while the one click solution worked for users using Windows, Linux and Mac users had to go through a string of ADB commands. While that method wasn’t that cumbersome compared to most roots in the past, Mac users now have the chance to root their Nook Tablet easily, thanks to XDA-Developers forum member t-r-i-c-k .

  2. oh yeah, download the root tool for mac…… what root tool, OH, I forgot, we’re not all geniuses that have all day to sit around becoming encyclopedias of development knowledge. I am sick of people replying to my type of comment with, “It is simple 1-2-3, you must be stupid.” There has to be a good quote out there stating that those that give convoluted instructions are the root of all evil.

  3. One click would imply that this is a simple trick. The fact is that the PRErequisite of having adb already installed is a huge joke. Most normal people want to use one click BECAUSE they are not the type of people to have development ability. Seriously, change your approach, I will not waste my time with adb. All the first replies on that page are of people scratching their heads and going even further into confusion. This is ridiculous. ONE click my arse.

  4. hey guys, just wonder (as any noob) when you root nook tablet and choose to remove everything from b&n (leave it as any android tablet) can be unroot without any problem???…regards

  5. Is there a way to sideload laucherPro from a Mac?  I restored my tablet to 1.4.0 and am afraid to connect it to the marketplace for fear of another automatic update to 1.4.1 before I get a chance to
    root it.  I have adb installed on my mac already.
