[Q] PC not recognizing Nook Color - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Everyone,
Here's the backstory. Got the NC in August, rooted in September. Was running fine and then it autoupdated to 1.3. It started behaving weirdly, so I decided to unroot it and bring it back down to 1.0.1 and start fresh. I did so, but now my PC is no longer recognizing my NC. It shows up as removable drives F and G. Also when I go into settings, it says my internal memory on the NC is at 0.000 and I can't redownload the books my wife had purchased. What gives? Please help!

You need to update. Your nook is only compatible with 1.2 and above.

[Q] How to restore back to version 1.1.0 from 1.0.1

Hi guys, i really need some help here. I bought my NC at the beginning of this month and I'm pretty sure the version is 1.1.0
I wanted to restore my rooted NC back to stock but i accidentally restore it to 1.0.1 instead.
While running on 1.0.1
1) My device can't be registered. I think since I've restore it to 1.0.1, they won't allow me to register my device.
2) I've done the skip out of box experience and tried to do an update to 1.1.0 using the sideload update file (by connecting it to my pc and transferring the file directly)but nothing seem to work.
Can someone please help me?
Does anyone has the stock 1.1.0 file in full which I can try to load it in through clockwerk ?
Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat. I tried to make a bootable sd card with froyo on it, and I ended up corrupting my Nook's system somehow. I followed the process to restore my nook to stock, but it went back to 1.0.1. Previously, I had updated to 1.1.0.
Now I would like to go back to 1.1.0 and use Autonooter 3.0 to reinstall eclair. But I wasn't able to sideload the 1.1.0 firmware.
Anybody have any tips? Thanks.
i've managed to reset it 1.2.0 instead. What i did was to skip out of the box effect in order to skip the need to register. I connected my NC to a pc and transfer the 1.2.0 update manually. After this ejecting, after a few mins it will start to auto update.

Lost my root on NC/Back to factory 1.01

I had successfully manual nootered my NC with Manual Nooter 4.6.16 and was happily using the NC for a month.
Then suddenly the root is gone and I am back to the factory 1.01...
Any ideas on what might have caused that? I don't think anyone forced the factory restore by holding certain buttons down. I also don't think that the battery was fully drained because I had been keeping it charged.
How can I see if any part of my old configuration still exists (apps downloaded, screen layout, etc)? Is it possible that everything from the rooted configuration is still there but something got corrupted and it rebooted into factory 1.01?
Any suggestions for preventing this from happening again?
BTW I used the appropriate version of CMR to do the manual nooter and still have that SD card so rerooting is not an issue. Just trying to figure out what happened...
FWIW since magically going back to 1.01 I haven't been prompted by B&N to auto update to 1.2 ...
Thanks in advance for any advice or ideas...

I don't know what cause but gotta be something.
AFAIK, never heard of this case once before.
Back in the good old days --Feb or Mar -- I accidently hit Share Books on the BN menu and it did a factory reset ....back to no root.

[Q] computer not seeing nook

Last night I Unrooted and restored to bnn 1.3. Now when I plug in the nook to my windows 7 pc it doesn't recognize it. Last week I installed ADB and drivers (even though I never got it to recognize my device on cmd). I thought maybe this is the problem, but yesterday I took my friends stock 1.3 and did the update from my pc for her, which is what made me want to convert to stock and test out 1.4
any ideas? the threads I found with this type of thing happening were rooted still.
cancel that, after messing around i figured out to uninstall adb interface and that worked. hope maybe this will help someone else.

Update stock

Hello
I have had this Nook Color, BNRV200 (2013) for a long while, running CM11 off of uSD Card.
Upon receiving an email from B&N about the latest security update 1.4.4, I decided to give it a try.
Removed my uSD card with CM11 and rebooted to stock OS.
Booted to Stock fine, all my login info is correct, and connected to Wi-Fi.
Hoping the Nook would pick up the security update, I did reboot back to stock. Nothing.
Inserted blank uSD card, connected to PC with the original cable, copied the downloaded 1.4.4.zip to the card, rebooted. Nothing.
Tried copying the zip into internal storage, rebooted, nothing.
In the Settings, it shows stock firmware 1.3.0. If I remember correctly, long time ago, I had it upgraded to 1.4.3 (the zip I have saved).
Any suggestions as to force the upgrade?
Does it require incremental upgrades? What would be the next firmware version?
Thank you for any input in advance.

Nook HD - on 2.2.1, running Cyanogen Mod - No eShop due to TLS 1.2 missing

Hi guys,
Searched quite a bit and cannot find how to update this. Running CyanogenMod version 11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird (Android 4.4.2). Rooted long ago and haven't updated anything on the tablet in forever because it was just how I liked it. I could boot into the standard Nook OS and view the Nook eShop (or whatever they call it now), or I could boot into Cyanogen Mod and run standard Android apps.
However now because they updated the Nook OS to include TLS 1.2 some many months ago (Transport Layer Security 1.2) I cannot load any of the Nook shop stuff without this update. When I try to update it within the Nook OS it tells me there's an update, proceeds to download it, tells me it will restart and apply the update, but then it never updates and just comes back into the Nook OS as if it just dropped the update. I used AFN to dual boot from the SD card - wondering if there's something in this setup that freezes out updates from happening.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get the TLS 1.2 update to take?
Thanks for ANY help... Really appreciate it!
So, I answered my own question by taking a chance. I pulled the SD card out and just booted directly into Nook OS and let it take the update that way. Rebooted after update (no SD card inserted) and the update took. Put the SD card back in and booted into Nook OS to make sure everything was still ok - no issues. Rebooted into CyanogenMod after that and still no issues.
I'll leave this here in case someone in the future comes looking for a similar question/answer.
Just a guess, but most of the B&N devices cannot be updated if rooted. So you might need to unroot, do the update, then root again.
Umm, I'm guessing you just overlooked my follow up post/reply up there ^^^ where I said I figured it out. It did update, even with being rooted.
