Requirements

Before all of these steps can be followed, though, we must ask that you look at the next requirements before the update can begin:

  • your tablet must be in a rooted state first;
  • then it must contain a custom recovery, available here (you can choose between the one called CWM or the one known as TWRP, each one of them is great);
  • you should then create backups to keep a hold of the data contained inside your handset (apart from the one which you usually perform, create a full NANDroid backup as well, following this tutorial);
  • get the newest possible USB drivers for your handset downloaded on your notebook (or your computer, if that’s what you use);
  • then make sure USB Debugging is turned on;
  • check the status of your device’s battery and, if it says the latter is empty, take measures to fully charge it.Nook-Tablet
