Hello,
I had recently posted about having some issues with my Nook Color,
Well I finally fixed it and now I am getting ready to manually root it. I have 1.2 on my NC. My question is if I root it today and the manual rooter has an update that fixes something. Do I just follow the manual rooter instructions again using the new file and will all my stuff and settings still be saved?

Hello all,
I had my samsung fascinate rooted but went and did the update that verizon pushed out. now of course the root no longer works. I tried to re-root it using the same instructions i followed the first time; no good. I also tried z4 root but that also didnt do it.
does anyone have any ideas?
I am thinking of doing a factory reset an starting all over again.
Been covered in several other threads. Did you even bother to search or read any of the threads about this?

Thanks ivorycruncher for the feedback.
The solution you gave seems a bit complicated for this novice user.
do you have any instructions for doing this on a Mac?
1. Use Bootcamp to install Windows on your Mac
2. Refer to my previous post
Please search around this forum and the dev forum a bit. The answers you're looking for have been posted already.
Rhetorical question of the day: Does anybody other than me find it curious that there are so many Mac users here trying to hack Android phones instead of worshiping the iPhone?
I can't get the link from my phone but when I first rooted my Fascinate I did it from my Mac WITHOUT using bootcamp (although I do have a Windows partition). There was a tutorial I followed which was stickied on Android Central that I assume is still there somewhere.
It's the original method using adb and rage.bin (not sure what the "official" name for it is) and is simple enough if you can enter some basic key commands.

Unfortunately that method no longer works with DL09, because they plugged the hole that rage.bin exploited. The easiest method to root now (that I'm aware of) is to flash CWM from ODIN, and then use ADB to push the such and busybox files manually. Unfortunately, ODIN only works on PCs.

The rage method on mac still works with dl09. Did it last week
Hmm, that's weird. Maybe the Mac version was different than the PC version? All I know is that the original rage.bin did not work from my PC after updating to DL09 via the OTA.
Hi, I used autonooter to root my nook and have it at 1.1 currently. I want to update that to 1.2 rooted. What is the easiest way to do this? Is there something I should wait for, like a new version of autonooter that will make this easier? I can wait as long as needed. Sorry if this has been answered, I just didn't see this particular topic addressed.
You can do it using manual nooter and would have to wipe your nook. Alternatively you can wait for autonooter (might still have to wipe butthe process would be easier)
ok I guess I'm waiting.
Ok, sounds like I need to wait for the new version of autonooter. Anyone know when that might be coming out?
Hello, I have a rooted Nook Color and a month or two back B&N released an update to the NC. I have not applied this update since I wasn't sure the proper procedure on how to update. Searching the forums seems to indicate some people have updated from within the rooted environment and other seem to have applied a newer auto-nooter.
What is the proper way to apply the B&N update? Should I revert to stock, update via B&N and then apply the Auto-Nooter or such or is updating within the rooted environment okay?
Thank you

I prefer the version that puts CWM on internal memory.
Then if you want to manual root, go here:

So I've searched around the net, and am not 100% sure what to do. Here is my situation.
I "rooted" my phone awhile ago, or so I thought, but now despite having superuser and trying to do the fix and update for it, it doesn't work, and no app can gain root access, however when I try to run droid easy root, it says i'm already rooted.
I'm running GB with build # 4.5.1_57_DX5-35 (if that helps).
All I want to do is re-root or whatever and install a rom (miUi specifically) over the default gingerbread motoblur one. I'm on a Mac btw and don't know much about this stuff...Any help is appreciated.

use the zergrush (aka doomlord) method posted in my signature, should fix you right up
edit: eww just saw where you said you were on a mac, not sure if this will work for the mac, i know that superoneclick also now uses the zergrush method. perhaps there is a mac version of that.
I'll try it out using VMware fusion and my XP partition...Hopefully it works. Might have some questions on the process if there aren't detailed instructions. Thanks.
Thinking I will go to the local Wally world, as they have a bunch in stock. Do I turn off wireless immediately and try to flash one of the rooted 6.2.1 images? I definitely want at least root, if possible. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Step 1: Disable WiFi
Step 2: Root your kindle using Kindle Utility located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889 Note that this step requires you to install the Android SDK to use the USB drivers, a process that can easily be found by google search or even a search on that thread.
Step 3: Install FIREFIREFIRE and TWRP using the same utility above.
Step 4: Flash this ROM (pre-rooted 6.2.1): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402440
(Optional) Step 5: Install android market using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351283
From this point, you can re-enable WiFi. If you would like, you can install CM7 following this thread's guide (it is very easy now): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390773 CM7 is very full-featured for Fire now and very stable from what I have experienced.
Just got my Fire today. If its still under 6.2.1 Im going to root, twrp, and try out Cm7. Is there any 100% working methods for preventing the ota update?
Im going to root, twrp, and try out Cm7
Yes. Your method stated above would do just that.
Thanks. I got it now. CM7 would prevent the OTA. Thanks
Hey guys another question. I see theres a new method for rooting, even with 6.2.1. Do you think it would be worth it to go ahead and accept the ota, then use the new method? What Im asking is this. Are the changes in 6.2.1 even worth it? Thanks
