When I bought my used Nook Color, I used the 8 re-boot method to flash back to 1.0.0 ... de-registered... registered... updated to 1.1.0 ... then used Auto-Nooter 3.0 to get my perfect device.... Everything has worked great until the BN 1.2 update totally ruined by device!! I have tried booting off the uSD card for AutoNooter3.0 but doesn't work... I tried using 8 re-boots to get back to 1.0 (to start over)... doesn't work... i get the Android screen and it stays stuck on that screen no matter what I do!!! Please somebody help me!! I want to go back to stock 1.0 ... then 1.1 then Auto-Nooter 3.0... restore my Titanium... and turn off Auto-Updates (which I've just found instructions for.)
Thanks,
Kevin
Do you want to stay on eclair? I would highly recommend using one of the modified stock froyo (modified 1.2 update) roms from this site and flash it per site instructions. Then you could manual nooter it. Then due to cuurent limits on the root of 1.2, I would go to the dual boot thead and set up dual boot with froyo (1.2) on the second boot and cm7 on the first. Nothing beats cm7, especially if you add dalgrin's overclock to the works. If you end up not liking the setup, it's very easy to recover to stock.
No, I really just want to get back to my 1.1.0 ... with Auto-Nooter 3.0... restore my apps... and then turn off Auto Updates.
Actually, my problem right now is that I cannot seem to flash back to stock at all!!
You could try this if you have not already.

If you already tried to install a stock rom over the mess that B & N made, all you may need to do is a wipe data/factory reset from ClockworkMod Recovery. That might clear up some boot issues for you.

Is there a confirmed method to prevent auto updating? <Link please?>
Look for the Pre-rooted 1.1 upgrade and flash that. I am not sure if it blocks automatic update.
This worked!!!

So far so good. No OTA and I've been on autonootered 1.1.0 since before the 1.2 update, and WiFi always on for the past couple of weeks.
Let me preface my question with some info:
I have tried the limited viability market fix detailed in the ManualNooter 4.5.6 no less than 10 times.
I have gone back to stock, side loaded 1.2, and did a complete redo of manualnooter (I followed every single word in every single step to a "T", BOTH times.
I saved, then uninstalled, and reloaded the market from Titanium.
I am not a complete noob (and by that I mean, I am not a natural at adb commands).
I have rooted an Eris, I have used autonooter, I have rooted my Incredible.
I have been reading through posts on XDA and other sites for 3 days.
I absolutely positively cannot fix the limited visibility problem with the Market.
Can anyone give me any guidance?
Is anyone else having this problem but me?
Thanks for your time!

I did the same and had no problems. Try the new MN 4.5.18 and post your results. Did you add any apps, kernels? What was installed prior to going back to stock BN and which version of BN? Did you overclock or dual boot?

Before doing Manualnooter, I wiped the device as per the directions (8 failed reboots, and factory reset, in that order...again, as per directions)
I did not add any apps (aside what was loaded natively via the manualnooter process before trying the market either time.
I have never overclocked, or dual booted my Nook.
From stock 1.1, I used autonooter to root. I never installed any ROMs. From that state, I unrooted, and rerooted with Manualnooter following ALL of the directions (including making the bootable sd with CM), and again, never loaded any custom ROMs.
Before I rooted, I had a pretty good number of apps loaded both from the market, and side loading. I never messed with the Nook too much (no tasker, no tether, never tried to get bluetooth working, and nothing where I had to alter any lines of code.
I'm at work right now, so unable to try 4.5.18 at the moment. When I have a chunk of time, I will try the entire process over again with 4.5.18 from complete scratch (including redoing the bootable sd, wiping with 8 interrupted boots, and factory reset, etc)
I will report back.
Thanks!

Did you remember to register the device following the wipe? Seems the device needs to be registered prior to rooting.
I started with a stock Nook and rooted it, then 1.2 came out.
My sequence was to flash with 1.2 with CWM peinstalled. Then I rebooted and registered the device on gmail and Youtube.
Next I downloaded manual nooter and put in root of sd.
Rebooted to recovery and flashed manual nooter. booted and tested, installed Nook apps, then rebooted into recovery.
From recovery I flashed the kernal fix to allow moving apps to SD. Tested Works!
The ONLY remaining issue I have is that some large apps are not found in market.
Market was fixed!, had to clear market cache, then kill it, then cleared data for the google frame work part and killed it. Rebooted and now see many more apps, especially the larger ones. This info is near end of first post; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027

framitz,
I don't think I did. I don't remember doing that step at that point. And, I looked back over the directions I followed, and I didn't see that as a step. And I followed those directions like I needed to diffuse a bomb.
I'll follow your instructions when I get home, and let you know!
Thanks!!

Instead of unrooting, etc.. just install BN1.2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050520. I suggest using update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip.
From there MN should work fine...
My first MN followed the same process as yours (restore to stock, side load BN1.2). Subsequently, I used the nemith method.

I used update-nc-stock-1.2-keepcwm-signed.zip, which has the advantage of not needing to set up a bootable SD because CWM is already available.
To flash a new rom I just boot into recover, locate and install the zip file.

I did exactly this, then used MN 4.5.6 and had the same problem with "download unsuccessful" with the market. I was able to fix the limited market problem easily, but couldn't find a solution to the Market download problem.
Tired of beating my head against the wall at this point. Reverting back to my original ROM.
I was running Phiremod 6.2 loaded to EMMC and I want to revert back to stock and I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050520
Now, when I boot it goes to the "N" screen and freezes.
I used a 3.0.2.8 CWM boot SD, does that make a difference?
How do I fix this?
For those that may have the same problem as I did, here is how I got mine to work.
I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690&highlight=uninstall+clockwork+recovery using the 1.0.1 image, with one big difference, when it was done I did a normal complete factory wipe (failed restart 8x, power and N button reset)
After that, it is now working fine. Seems my device wanted to load the image itself, which was fine by me. Once done, I manually loaded the B&N 1.2 Froyo update and all is well.
They sure are amazing little devices...
I havent been able to keep up with NC development as much as I'd like, so after reading many directions and many posts I figured it'd be faster to tap the collective wisdom...
Current setup:: first gen nook, 1.01 rooted with autonooter. (no Clockwork)
Desired setup:: updated to 1.3 with root (i like the ability to jump from ereader to tablet) and CM7.1 on an SD card..
I was thinking of just 8 booting it to restore to stock, then upgrading to 1.3 and using manualnooter... Could I flash that update without the restore step?
then using [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957] to get CM7 working..
Is that all correct? I just want a sanity check before i start flashing.
Running CM7 off uSD is a completely separated procedure with no interference with whatever on the internal memory.
You can start it off w/o waiting.
Just in case anyone else is curious. I created a CWM sd, loaded it with both the 1.01 stock flash and 1.2 stock flash.. flashed each. then copied 1.3 over per B&N directions, let that install. then finished up by booting again off the CWM disk and ran MN 4.5.18, 4.6.16
Now im stock rooted and very happy. Thanks to all the developers who created these wonderful tools.
Hi- this is my first post so please be kind!
I rooted my nook running 1.3. Everything was cool.
I then, spent 1 week trying to figure out ADB. Got up and running.
Last night B & N decided to install 1.4.1. I read about turning off auto updates, but did not do it fast enough, apparently.
What do I now do to get my apps/market back? I still have some, but the "n" button has been taken over by B & N.
I did, notice that the only way to get the remaining apps back, is to have the card inserted. Before 1.4.1 took over, I could see apps even without the card.
Do I need to erase my card an reroot with a different nooter? Do I need to revert back to stock software on my nook? Do I need to save my remaining apps to another card or PC? Can I get back to 1.3?
I am running CWM and auto nooter, both of them. I followed the install for 1.3, which said I needed to run both.
I felt so smart, now I'm back to dummy noob!!
Thanks for any help.
Wanna get back to 1.3 too...
8 failed reboots worked for me.
