Both Buttons on the left: BACK
Upper button on the right: UP
Lower button on the right: DOWN

- Instructions:
- Copy the zip onto the root directory of the sdcard you burned the CWM.(Don't extract them)
- Insert the sdcard on your nook, and boot it.
- On CWM select install zip from sdcard
- Then select choose zip from sdcard
- Select Alpha-FormatTouch-2.zip, click yes and wait till the process finishes.
- Go back, eject the sd card, and click reboot.
- Things you will need:
On future updates I'll try: automatically make a backup of /factroy, recreate the whole nook partition table so that people that screw hard can breathe new life into their NST easily.
