I have used autonooter 3.0 to root my NC. I see that v1.2 is out for Flash etc...If I update the software to 1.2 will that take root off so I will have to do the autonooter again? Thanks, I am rather new to this.

You first have to take your Nook Color back to stock, unrooted 1.1, then install the 1.2 update. There is no autonooter yet for 1.2, but manual roots are in an advanced stage of development.
Thanks. I have also read that B&N has started distributing the upgrade over the net via wifi. How do you turn off updates over wifi on the NC?

I've never seen a 100% definitive answer to this question, however, this is what I and a bunch of other peopel did and never got the update:

(p.s. I'm running Phiremod now, so it's a non issue, but I went a few weeks like this and never had any problems).
Hey Guys......
So, ive been trying to update my nook to 1.3
I came from 1.2 and then just started flashing nightlies and had a bunch of stuff on my nook.
For some reason its stuck on a black screen with the nook logo in the middle and is stuck there. I dont know if anyone is having trouble with manualnooters for the 1.3...but i need some help especially if you got it working for you!

What? If you are on a nightly, how do you propose to "update" to 1.3?

By reloading the stock 1.2 and then going to 1.3 from there
Just out of curiosity...
What will happen if B&N updates the N2E again? Will it affect the unit badly? Is there anything that one can do to prevent it (besides keeping wireless off indefinitely)?
The reason I ask is because I've been watching an ongoing thread where a user managed to salvage his Nook Touch after rooting and THEN updating to 1.01. It froze and he hadn't been able to use it for weeks (however, he was recently successful in salvaging it). Hence, I'm curious if a future B&N update might hose the unit.
Xboxexpert posted a way to block B&N updates : here.
It should work ...

Thank you. Hadn't noticed that post! I'll have a look and give it a shot.

Hmmm... I checked out the aforementioned post and traced through the thread. It would seem that Xboxexpert didn't have his B&N block added to the TouchNooter routine. Am I right?
The reason I ask is that I was just told that, if you root your Nook Touch with Touchnooter 1.6.24, the B&N updates are turned off by default, so you can use your wi-fi capability at will and don't need to fear having the B&N update "forced" on you. Is this correct?
(I'm asking because I really don't want the update right now and don't want to re-root at the moment, but do want to use wi-fi)
I want to buy the new NC 2 but I cant seem to figure out how we are separating the two tablets. Unless the original NC rooting and Roms work with the new NC2. Is that correct?
Well they are naming it the Nook Tablet. Nook Color is still an active product.
There is a new forum on XDA for the Nook Tablet.
Unless the original NC rooting and Roms work with the new NC2. Is that correct?

No, a new port is needed.
Hey all. I've searched through the forums, but it seems like talk of the NC has stopped in favor of talk of the NT, and I can't find the info I need.
I have a nook color running 1.4.1, unrooted. I've seen plenty of threads about how to sideload apps on the NT running 1.4.1 without rooting, but no one seems to have explained how to do this for NC. Is it still possible? If anyone can explain how to get it done, please let me know. All I really want is the Amazon Appstore and the Kindle app, so I'm not sure I really need to do a full-fledged root. I really like the Nook interface and don't want to have to flash CM7 to just read my Kindle books.
Thanks

Still a lot of love for the NC! It's still much more hackable than the NT.

I don't believe sideloading apps on the NC ever was possible without rooting. I do not recall any discussions of how to do so.

You can easily root B&N 1.4.1 without losing any B&N functionality. You can load the Kindle and Amazon App store apps with no problem. If that's all you want to do, you don't have to do anything more. GMPOWER has kindly devoted a lot of effort into developing the ManualNooter tool to make this simple. I've put together a guide on using his tool, plus a few other tips for those that prefer to stay with the B&N software. You certainly do not need to load CM7 to read Kindle books!
I don't have the stock 1.4.1 ROM so I can't tell you for sure but there are members reported that side-loading works fine on rooted stock 1.4.1 while others said they can't.

How easy is it to unroot from this method? Is there a simply tutorial on how to do that as well?
I don't want to root unless I know I can unroot just as easily, in case I need warranty support.
Just about anything you want to do to the nook is just as easily undoable. Returning to stock is a non-issue, easy as pie. Although in truth, there is almost no reason to do so. There would have to be a hardware issue, as I have yet to see an unsolved ROM or software problem on these forums, and I've seen some crazy stuff.
The nook.is a great machine, with amazing capabilities considering its origins. Adding the custom ROM makes it better in every concievable way. I ran stock software for almost nine months and regret every minute of it. GMpower did yeoman's work putting ManualNooter together for the cautious types, but I truly would recommend going whole hog with cyanogen.
I had a warranty issue with my sdcard slot after I rooted it, and even with no sdcard, I got it back to stock, replaced, and then flashed a backup of my install, all my books and apps right back to the way they were.
Everyone should root. You own the device, there is no reason not to maximize its abilities.

In his thread on MN for 1.4.1, the illustrious GMPOWER points to the NOOKdevs procedure for restoring to stock. I've used it myself a few times, and he would certainly know!
I've been running B&N 1.4.1 rooted for over a month using MN with no big issues. There are a few interface glitches that cause menus to appear as white on white, but that's about it.

I'm a little confused about the guide you posted. It seems like the goal of steps 1-4 is to get an unrooted 1.4.1 running, but I already have that. Do I still need to follow these steps? if not, can you give me an updated version of the guide?

Your timing is impeccable. I just updated the version over at androidforums to include some "start here" instructions. Take a look there. I'll be updating the version here when I get some time. Use the version of MN from GMPOWER's thread. I need to update those links as well (though no harm will come from using the version prior.)
