Rooting 1.2.1

  4. Click "No, continue without wireless"
  5. Back up the nook. Click Rescue, then backup and then "Format remaining space on SD card" and finally "Create Backup"
  6. This will take a long time, up to 45 minutes
  7. Plug your nook into the computer(without exiting NookManager) and copy all the backup files into your computer
  8. Click Back twice, and click Root and then root my device
