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:

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.
Hi All,
Went to use my NC this morning (running CM7 from uSD card) and found it locked up.
No biggie, just shut it down and powered back up, only to get our buddy the Penguin, as though I'd booted into recovery (although I hadn't). After indicating that it found nothing to install or update, it shut down.
Booted again (still with uSD card in) it entered recovery mode again.
Figuring the card might have been hosed, I put in a backup, created yesterday-same result.
Hmmmm....
I pulled the card and let it boot to the original 1.3 O/S internal. All went well, then I got a quick message that an update was being applied (?). My heart sank, thinking that I'd had 1.4 pushed out to me, and God only knows what that update might do the the NC.
I quickly went to the menu to check the software version, and it still showed 1.3.
I shut it down, replaced the uSD and rebooted.
All is well now.
Any ideas about what might have happened? Anyone else have this experience?
Thanks!
Dan
You would not get a B&N update pushed out while you're booted into CM7. As for what happened.... You said you got a new SD and it fixed it? Perhaps your SD just died?

I wouldn't have thought so, but when I booted into internal memory (no uSD card in place) I got the "updating" notice.
In fact the "new" card (which was a backup of the first) did the same "boot to recovery" as the original.
After the original O/S did its "updating" both cards worked exactly as expected, booting into CM7, and both cards have worked perfectly since.
That's why I'm calling it a "glitch"
The device was apparently "tricked" into booting to recovery and continued to do so from any of my CM7 uSD cards. I went so far as to access the boot menu and make sure that it booted the uSD and did so "normally", yet the penguin kept rearing it's cute little head.
Only allowing the NC to boot into its own O/S, which triggered the phantom "update", fixed the issue.
I used manual nooter over weekend, everything has been working well, but I did have a hard time figuring out soft keys. For reasons I'm nott sure when I tried to use Nook color tools I could only get to BN tools, not the option for all settings which was originally there. I decided to power Nook off an turn back on as that often helps on my Bionic. Well, upon turning on I had the orange menu askin if I wanted to reboot, restore etc. I tried rebooting, was stuck on loop, powered back on and off, did a back up, tried to reboot again and stuck on loop. Do I need to do a complete wipe and start over? SD card seems to be working fine. Any thoughts? Everything else seemed fine, could use play store etc. I did download Firefox last night. thanks.
Updating, through another thread on this forum I went into CWM recovery, did a factory reset, cleared cache, wiped dalvik and rebooted. I think I am getting back to stock, Nook is trying to connect to WiFi, but my office router isn't showing up. Once I get past this, hopefully I can connect somewhere and try Manual Nooter again. Crisis averted, I think.
Last update, sorry for the panicky post. Was able to connect to Wifi, re-register Nook, then reinstall ManualNooter from SD card. Bootloop is gone, CWM recovery worked. After searching deep enough with the posts, everything is working as it should. Thanks for all of the info here and tolerating my Nooby panic.

now i have a nook which i factory setting restored.

thanks in advance
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!!
