Hi.
I have a serious problem using my Nook Touch.
I imported my Nook the last November.
As soon as it arrived at my house I rooted it and then after using it for a week I decided to make it back to the default factory state using the backup I had made before rooting.
I think the unrooting itself was successfully done but when I try to boot my Nook up, I can not get though the initial setup section (the sign part), it says,
Sign in
Error
Sorry we're having trouble setting up your Nook. Please shutdown the device and try again.
If the problem persists, contact Customer Support at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665).

Then I have no choice but to power it off which doesn't do anything to solve the problem.
Now I have a Nook which is completely unusable in my hands.
I have not read a single book yet after I paid an extra money to import it and waited for it to arrive for 3 weeks...
I am at a loss as to what to do now, so if you can help me in any way I would be really grateful for it.
Force reset it by shutting it down, then starting it up, and when the screen flickers press right and left bottom buttons, hold for 5+ seconds.
This will resolve the problem, if not:
Use nookRestore to restore /system (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1289233)
and then:
Update to 1.1 (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Soft...uch/379003175/)

Thank you for the reply.
I am sorry, I forgot to mention that I used both the forcefully reset option and the nook restore software, both of them did not change anything.
And it seems that you can not update your firmware unless you completed the initial setup.
So virtually I can not do anything right now.
Just do a data reset (the forced one) without the restore and try it.
I think you can update to the 1.1 not registering, getting into the factory mode:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20121721&postcount=17
and copying the 1.1 update the Nooks flash (not sdcard)
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-Simple-Touch/379003175/
Thank you for the advise!
Now I can go to the Home screen and at least can read something which I put into my Nook.
I am pretty relieved that my Nook is not complete useless.
But I still have that problem of not being able to sign in.
The same message appears every time I try to sign in or create a new account.
It would be great if I could get rid of this problem...

Try this:
Log onto the B&N website with your account (same as you try to sign in on)
Go to My Nook hover the picture and select "Erase and Deregister Device".
Now try to register from the NST again.

Hi!
Im new with this of craking, and im not a native english speaker so forgive me if i dont explain well my self.
I just root my NookSimple Touch (version 1.0.1), with touchnooter-1-6-24, during the hacking every thing was going fine, the "root forever" logo showed up, and then it got stuck in the barnes and Noble loading screen, so i waited like for 20 minutes and nothing! it remains in the same loading screen. So i took out the SD card, and re boot the nook, it started up well and i could complete all the steps of the rooting procedure normally.
Now im having troubles with some apps, cant use the browser, and cant use well the wallpaper app, it dont allow me to select any of the images, and even worst when i select one of the Live Wallpapers (only one live wall paper was working), the next time i turn on the nook it got stuck again, but this time on a diferent screen, on the unlock screen at the starting up. After many rebootings could use the nook again and close the Livewallpaper app. Now is working fine.
Now im scare of using other apps and crash the system again. So i have some questions:
Is it normal that the apps that i mention dont work well on the rooted nook? Or is it concecuence of the failure i mentioned during the hacking procedure? Do i have to root again the nook?
I didn´t do a backup, does it worth to do one now? Or just save some information of the system that could be use in the future for an emergency?
last question, when one uses the set fabric settings option, does the nook goes to original version (with out the root)?
thanks a lot in advance for the soon answer
Juan
Do a backup, if you screw up, its the best way to have a copy of the unique information on the factory partition of your NST.
You need to do a Reset and a Restore to get rid of root+Gapps+Apps, use this:

"set fabric settings option"

complete noob here, so sorry if i am posting i the wrong place. I tried rooting my nc 1.2.0 but it didnt take, i think i unplugged it too soon. so I did a complete wipe and afterwords the nc was showing my software rev as 1.1.0. I then followed the instructions for auto-nooter 3.0.0 and i got to this point:
6 Your NookColor will reboot when it's done.
That was the hard part, now to the simple stuff.
7 Upon boot unlock your screen.
8 At the Android Welcome Screen skip Sign In.
9 Enable Location Services when given the option.
10 Connect to Wifi and launch Youtube from "Extras".
so here is my problem. After enabling location services(step 9), when i hit next I get a prompt saying:
complete action using
home
softkeys
home simply takes me to the normal nc home screen and softkeys asks for superuser permission the first time and afterwards also goes to the nc home sceen. i have wiped and re-rooted 3 times now with exactly the same results. am i missing something or doing something wrong? is there a different method for rooting that I should be using instead? should i attempt to go back to vers. 1.2.0(not sure how I would do this)? any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated as my kids are dying to use the nook and for me to be done "hogging it" thanks in advance
its fixed
ok not sure what gives, but i rebooted again and it seems to work fine now, other than not many apps in the market. I dont know how to delete this post so i just replied. mods feel free to delete
I had this recycler virus, it made its home on all my storage devices, that's why I formatted all of my usb drives, sd cards and my Nook internal storage to be safe.
It works, I even managed to install Glownooter but the problem is that this screen always prompts me to restart the system.
"YOUR NOOK HAS ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO RESTART"
I have used images to restore to factory firmware, and tried Glownooter and I said and they work on the background but that message won't allow me to do anything, except restarting it or powering it off. If I restart it keeps appearing. Also tried to restore the deleted files but it wasn't
possible, perhaps the software wasn't good I don't know.
Thanks in advance.
When I've seen this message, and reset, occur it's been because my device registration and what BN has stored don't agree, so BN deletes the token on their side and resets my device. Took me a frustrating few nandroid restores of an NC to understand
I don't know that this is what is happening to you, but if you let the device reset, reregister with BN, and then root it and use it (without reimaging it) - does the message recur? It may not, or you may have tried it and it does recur in which case I apologize for asking a silly question.

Whenever I reset it the message keeps appearing, it won't let me go to another screen either to reregister or to do a factory reset.
I followed the advice of a guy in a similar situation, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24537458&postcount=6
I did what he did and eventually ended up stuck on "YOUR NOOK IS STARTING UP". Then I tried the N2T recovery by ros87, and no avail. It still stuck on the "READ FOREVER" screen. I think it's at least a progress but I wish I could manage to fix it.
Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it and I have faith that I this situation will be resolved. More input is more than welcomed.

I'm in a similar situation: did a backup (which I tought to be complete) and rooted succesfully.
Then I tried to go back to stock with my backup to learn it was partially good and I bricked the Nook.
Now I can't get past the "installation failed" screen and I don't know how to revive it. I've tried almost every solution posted to xda and still stuck.
Let me know if you find a solution, pls.
I rooted my NTG using the NookManager a while back. I didn't have any problems and really hadn't used my NTG until recently. However, today I went to use it and couldn't access the B&N Shop. I proceeded to do an erase and deregister assuming it would just unroot and I could go back to normal. However, now when I go through the registration process at start up I get:
"ERROR: Sorry we're having trouble setting up your NOOK. Please shutdown the device and try again." In the bottom left corner it says "B-bind failure."
I called B&N and they deregistered my device for me. I figured that would fix it, but it still did not. The only thing I can think of was that somehow my serial number is different after the root? Any thoughts on fixing this? I've seen others fix it with a hard reset, but that hasn't worked for me.
Problem solved. I finally managed to interrupt the power cycle 8 times in a row and the original firmware was reinstalled successfully!
Hey !
I have a nook simple touch for a long time. It was modified software and worked very well.
Recently, when I tried to charge him after a long break, he warmed up a lot. I opened the case and unplug the battery.
When he cooled down I connected everything again and there was a problem: Installing rom ---> Install Failed
How can I restore the original software?
All my attempts end with "Install Failed!"
He probably tries to restore the software but the recovery partition can be empty. All modifications were made a long time ago and I do not remember the details

Mmm.....that warming up thing does not sound good. But if you want to try to bring the thing back to life, the simplest thing to try first would be to make a NookManager card and try the Factory Restore option. If your NST will boot from the card, then you may have good luck with that.
If that does not work, it might be possible to re-image your NST with the original US software. You can find the details and files for that here: https://sites.google.com/site/xcdguides/nook/nookregion
I've tried both of your tips.
Unfortunately, I still "instll failed". NookManager factory reset happens without effect. After restarting, continue the same
However, the second tip gives me an error in many languages.
