I just bought a Nook ST Glow. I just tried the nooter and the nookmanager.
I'm positive I followed the directions to the Tee. I even bough a second card reader in case that was an issue.
I booted the imaged msd card containing the nookmanager image. I booted into it correctly, then rooted it.. first time through the uramdisk failed .. so i did a factory install .. then tried it again.
this time everything worked fine as the root script ran. exit. removed the sd card. then i get the regular nook boot sequence as if its a new factory boot.
i did this several times and get the same issue. this is a firmware 1.2.1. i just don't get it.
i was so excited and bought this eink because the battery life is 2 weeks plus. i'd like to be able to check email and read news and possibly other bookstores.
can someone please help me? is this hopelessly strange?
yes, i did use winimage.. i'm sure the image appears fine.. because it boots just fine into nookmanager. did b&n include new protection mechanisms to make it unable to unlock.. i'm completely stumped.
please please!!

I followed the original root method on my mytouch slide but lost it recently from the OTA update. I followed the New Root Method as of 8/13! (Even for latest OTA) to try and get rood again and the second time you enter ./exploid it worked but wouldn't give me root access in any of my apps. I rebooted and tried again without luck. Now my phone refuses to see that the sd card is inserted even though the card works fine in my laptop and I can't get usb debugging to work anymore. I just did a factory reset and cleared the cache partition through recovery but still no luck. Is there a way to fix this?
For some reason the sd card only worked in hboot so I tried flashing the stock .img and that still didn't fix the problem.
Just a suggestion. have you tried reformatting your sdcard? Not possitive it would work but its worth a shot. Strange things can happen. and well it happened to me back in the day with the g1.
Please don't flame me for not searching, but I'm at work now and didn't have time to perform an extended search for my problems.
Ill start by stating I am a new nook color user. Grabbed it this morning after doing a lot of research for the best tablet/e-reader. Ill begin with some of the specs.
Initially was 1.2.0
Performed the rooting with a class 4 8gb SD card.
Flashed the SD card with the recovery system.
Downloaded and moved Google apps, CDM, as well as stock rom in case I failed.
So I read through many different tutorials as well as watched countless videos on rooting and flashing CDM to the NC.
After downloading and getting recovery to show up I performed the formatin steps that followed. However when I tried to format data, it came up as failed this threw up a warning sign so I looked up the error problem. I read I needed to repartition my NC since Barnes and noble's changed it in after may?
Well here's the situation. I tried to flash it back to 1.2 and came up with yet another data error. I then tried the 8-boot format which also did not work. Now comes the strange part. After rebooting my NC enough times It suddenly loaded android 2.3. After android popped up I tried to install Google apps which included market and that failed.
So right now I am stuck with a flashless, and marketless NC. The last time I touched android was on my ATT tilt.
Can anyone explain what I did wrong?
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.
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.
Hey guys,
Found a thread with the same problem but it was not solved.
I have a Nook Simple Touch with firmware 1.0.1. It was brand new and everything was in stock condition prior to this.
I burned TouchNooter image to a 8gb microSD and inserted it into my Nook. The screen went dark successfully within TouchNooter. However, it has been in a boot loop since then. I can reboot and do the factory restore function (lower two buttons), but they did nothing.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks!

Hi,
You can restore your Nook back into use by burning the NookManager image to an SD card, turning your Nook off, plugging in the SD card, and navigating like so: (use the side buttons to navigate) No, continue without wireless > Rescue > Restore factory.zip > [unplug SD card].
Hope this helps! :good:
Problem solved. Thanks a lot!!! :good:
