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.
Story so far:
based in UK so did Oobe to skip registration after several attempts failed;
NC has 1.1.0 installed and manufactured 3/24/11 or 24/3/11 in English;
Installed CM7 on a 16gb uSD and let RomManager update recovery to 3.2.0.1;
Found CM7 sluggish (after a Nexus S) so wanted to update to OC kernel;
Forum says I need 1.2 on eMMC to update to faster kernel??
Downloaded 1.2 update from B&N
Removed uSD and booted into NC and transfered 1.2 update via USB;
Allowed Nook to find it and install;
Install fails with "failed to verify whole-signature file";
Tried re-downloading; always fails with the same response.
Question - What can I do to get 1.2 on my machine
Question - Is the lack of registration causing the problem.
BN 1.2 update works only on unrooted NC. If you want BN1.2, you need to restore back to stock using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050520
I've suddenly developed a problem with my rooted Nook Color 1.2.
I soft rooted it back in April using ClockWork and apk-enabler-1-1a-signed.zip.
Everything worked as expected.
For the past few weeks I haven't needed any of the andriod apps. I have just been using the Nook as a reader and I have not made any changes to it other than loading and removing books.
Today I realized that it was booting to the stock user interface and pressing the N key did not bring up the menu list of alternate managers that I installed.
I have tried re flashing the NC with apk-enabler zip file. When that didn't give me back access to the andriod apps, I tried flashing with the newer MiniRooter from NookDevs. Now I have a new flyout menu on the right side of the screen, but there really isn't any response to pressing the icons.
I'm sure that I'm leaving out an obvious step or doing something else dumb and I really appreciate it if someone could point it out to me.
Thanks!
In short: After update to 1.1.2, rooting methods don't work for me. Each time after root, Nook stuck on «nook» screen with 5 circles below (dot continue running until battery discharges completely, screen refreshes non-regularly), except 1st boot with MinimalTouch, which asked about signing-in and location services.
Any help appreciated.
Long story:
Some time ago, I've been beginning with NST 1.0.1, and rooted is successfully with TouchNooter. After it updated to 1.1, and I re-rooted it, successfully again, now with «Market & Setup Script Kit» (which uses uRamdisk-replacing method).
But I didn't turn off OTA update, just not to miss new firmware.
One day about a week ago, it ceased to boot, not going beyond «nook» screen with running dot in 5 circles. I did reset with holding left & right bottom buttons, but it didn't help.
When I booted noogie, I found apparent uRamdisk.old (left from prev. rooting) near uRamdisk, and renamed it to uRamdisk. Nook booted normally, allowed me to register, and let me use it as reader.
But still, I wanted to root.
Tried both touchnooter-2-1-31 and MinimalTouch, both with same result (not loading beyond running dot). Tried installing 1.1.2 in non-rooted mode, and updating again. With MinimalTouch, it boots to sign-in 1st time, but reboots when it should go to home screen. 2nd time an on, it does not boot beyond running dot.
Currently my nook is working, non-rooted, with 1.1.2 firmware. Each time I began from this state.

Haven't tried these but supposedly can revert you back to original firmware then maybe upgrade to 1.1, root, and turn off updates?
I tried the 3rd method on my unrooted nook that had 1.1.2, it claimed to work but version still showed up as 1.1.2.
Regardless I used touchnooter to root and haven't had any issues since. Still shows 1.1.2 in version info but it's rooted and running fine.
Well, I've used methods #2 and #3 several times, and it doesn't help (surprisingly).
I don't think there will be any difference with #1.
What helped me to go back is n2T-Recovery_0.1.img from that post, which initiated full restoration (and it worked). Once I also used full initial backup, from which I retrived some files to undo rooting. I didn't flash it back ever, because I am not sure it's done correctly, as its size differs from one stated in backup article, and is 1'962'934'272 bytes long (exactly same as size on disk).
funny, I've just rooted with uRamdisk_wireless_adb_init_1.1_1.1.2.zip. Now will try to install google apps.
I rooted my Simple Touch (1.2.1 firmware and NookManager 0.5.0) and it all worked fine, I just messed a few things up later on while playing.
I decided to redo the rooting so I restored the backup I took before I started using NookManager, the restore has worked fine (there is the good bit I dont have a brick). Now when I go back into NookManager I select the root option and it comes back almost immediately with success but restarting the Nook just gives me the original Nook software and no Android or Relauncher.
How do I get everything back to rooted (or get access to Relauncher again) ?
Many thanks.
