[Q] Does anyone have a Firmware 1.2.0 Download - Nook Touch General
I just got my new Nook Simple Touch Glowlight for Christmas and am quite excited to root it and try everything out.
It currently has Firmware 1.1.5 on it and since Nook Manager (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040351) recommends having 1.2.0 as the firmware I started looking to see if there was a download out for it.
However it seems that B&N just recently updated the firmware hosted on their site (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-Simple-Touch/379003175/) to 1.2.1 and I am unsure if flashing this will break my ability to get root functionality.
So my questions are simple:
#1: Will upgrading to the 1.2.1 firmware cripple my chances of rooting my device?
#2: If so where can I find an original 1.2.0 firmware download?
Thanks in advance!

Use the 1.2.1 that's on the B&N website.
It must be a bug fix from the 1.2

#1 - It shouldn't. Performing a factory reset should revert your FW back to 1.1.5 if it turns out that rooting 1.2.1 does not work.
btw. Modifying NookManager scripts should do the trick for 1.2.1

I get ModManager not available for 1.2.1 during the root process
Update: I modified two of the script files in the image which were hard-coded to 1.2.0 and changed them to 1.2.1 and the rooting procedure worked perfectly after that on the new 1.2.1 firmware as the base
./scripts/install_nookmods:if [ "$SYSTEM" != "1.2.0" ]; then
./scripts/install_old_installer:if [ "$SYSTEM" != "1.2.0" ]; then

[Q] Best way to get latest root?
I have a rooted NC ver. 1.1.0 What's the easiest way to get up-to-date with the latest root? I see when starting my research to do this I've not received any of the B&N's OTA updates since I rooted about a year ago (I turned off OTA updates after my initial root). Thanks
You might need to flash the new stock fw. (1.4.2 is the latest, I believe) then reroot with ManualNooter 5.0.2.xx
new 1.1.0 nook... what now?
well, got myself a "new" (used) nook simple with 1.1.0 on it... now, what do i do with it? root? ect'... EDIT 1 : updated to 1.2.1
How can I downgrade my Nook NSTG from 1.2.1 to an earlier version?
Dear Community, I have a NSTG with US 1..21 Version installed.(no root). I want to install the UK Version 1.2.1 because it has other languages aswell. In order to do that I have to install an earlier version than 1.2.1 on the nook so that it will detect the 1.2.1 UK version as the correct one. Has anyone an Idea how I can downgrade my Nook via SD card or ADB? Thx. FSG edit: I found this thread for changing the region from US to UK: https://sites.google.com/site/xcdguides/nook/nookregion
If you are not opposed to rooting, you can use the Tweaked Modded ROM as it uses the UK firmware. At least I believe it does. I have installed most of the various rooting methods on my Nook at one time or another and I know that one of them uses the UK firmware. Can anyone else confirm that it is the Tweaked Modded ROM that uses the UK firmware?
5.3.6.4/5.6.3.0 Fire HD 10 offline rooting success.
Successfully upgraded from 5.6.2.0 to 5.6.3.0 via the misnumbered 5.3.6.4 OTA update. Device had been previously rooted and the first OTA update failed, but I lost root in the process. OTA downloaded a second time and successfully updated to 5.6.3.0. Root was quickly and painlessly restored following the procedure in this post by retyre: http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/hd-10-2017-offline-rooting-t3734860
Has anyone else confirmed root is successful on the FireHD10? One other user had problems in this forum and could not get root working.

Hi, I've updated my HD 10 with the official 5.6.3.0 version from Amazon and it shows 5.3.6.4 according to the Amazon support this is correct so, the old version was 5.2. I don't know why but the version before was showing 5.6.2.0 I'm not sure if the support people knows anything about the correct version
Success!! Hi I accidentally update one of my new Fire HD 10 to 5.3.6.4 which has been rooted while it was on 5.6.1.0. with the offline method by retyre. It was only 1 attempt and it succeded.
Cool, root methods are still working for the latest update 5.6.3.0 (which I saw there was an update only today, as I have disabled OTA). Any noticeable changes in the latest 5.6.3.0 when compared to 5.6.2.0 in terms of features and speed/performance? (I could not find any release notes on AMZN website). Cheers!
My firehd10 was rooted with the Kingsport method at 5.6.2.0 and I would like to upgrade to the latest 5.6.3.4. Since the method disables the OTA, how do I upgrade? I've read that the same rooting method works for 5.6.3.4, but don't know how to proceed from wherein am now on 5.6.2.0. Sent from my KFSUWI using Tapatalk

Help with changing / upgrading Tab S2 T710 Nook version to Stock Firmware
Hi, I just purchased a used Tab S2 T710 from Ebay and received a really nice, like new tablet but it is has B&N Nook version of Android 6.01. At least for now I would like to change it to the stock Android 6 as the Nook version lacks much of the stock widgets and installs all the Nook stuff. Which I don't need or want. I think I can just use Odin and flash the stock firmware but I need to find the firmware which so far I have not found. My current Build No. T710XXS2CRH1 Can some knowledgeable person help me confirm and point me to the right firmware, Please? I am open to updating to a newer version of Android but not sure which to choose. Thanks
OK, update to stock firmware android 6.01 via Odin, all went well but Nook remained the same. How do I get rid of Nook and it's apps to get normal OS. What do I need to change? Really want just get a original Android default apps instead of Nook Thanks
