Is it possible to downgrade firmware from rooted 1.0.1 to 1.0.0?
Rooted 1.0.0 worked fine in my NC, but after upgrading to 1.0.1 and rooted with Auto-nooter, I have several strange issues, so I raised this question.
Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure you'd just have to unroot and then re-root with the legacy version of Auto-nooter. They're all still up and around here.

I went from 1.0.1 back to 1.0.0 by going through the power-off/power-on cycle 7-8 times.

Interesting, so is this to say that there is a READ ONLY version of the 1.0.0 ROM on the device and even if you bork /system you can recover from that?
If so, that's really cool. And why not, there's enough space in the thing for it..

I "borked" system and it still recovered. This thing is designed to fix itself when it gets messed up because its market isnt tech savy people and there's no geek squad at b&n... as a sidenote that also makes it superhackable because it'll fix itself if (when) you mess it up...

Keep getting 2.2.1 updates after root. How can this be stopped? Its annoying to keep rooting only to get the system updates again and again. I'm rooting with a signed fr91 file. Any way to stop this?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Upgrade to 2.2.1 frg83 then use the one click super root to root 2.2.1 you won't get the update any more u can find it in nexus wiki
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Download 'Quick Boot' from the market and use it to reboot the phone. Then, clear the update notification from the notification menu. The update message should go away for a while (mine lasted a week before it came back).
I'm still somewhat hesitant to upgrade to FRG83 and use SuperOneClick since some people in the thread are reporting problems. I love my phone how it is right now!

Are you and Memnoch30 referring to the post you laid out in another thread? I'm pretty sure you wrote detailed instructions on how to do the manual rage root using adb. Will this method work fine if all I want is to run stock 2.2.1 with root-requiring apps like setcpu and move2sd enabler? Sorry for being such a noob

I just installed 2.2.1 and used the SuperOneClick method to root the phone again. I had to turn the phone off, run the program, and then boot the phone for it to work. I suggest you try this method. It couldn't be much simpler.
Now i keep getting the new firmware update message and i cant seem to turn it off even with the quickboot. Any ideas?
Install the update, root again. Now really, this "idea" is 1 message above yours - what made you post?
Hm i tried to update but failed, could be due to tampering of the build number that I did previously but after that it didn't bug me anymore, at least not for now. Will try the superoneclick one next time. Thanks.
It might be back in several days, but if you've tampered with the system and advanced the build number - it shouldn't appear anymore.
yeah i sure hope so. will know in a few days

Got Decad3nce's 1.1 update ROM and it installed fine, everything was working. A few minutes later I got a screen that said that there was a problem with authorization and the Nook needs to be reset. It would then reset and roll back to a non-rooted 1.01 version.
I have tried this several times and have had it happen with Decad3nce's first ROM and the v2 ROM. Good thing I have a backup for my nootered 1.01. This one works fine. Anyone have any ideas as to why I am the only one with this problem? Thanks in advance!
I may just have to wait around for an Auto Nooter for 1.1.

Did you reinstall any data, such as using Titanium Backup to restore from a previous install? If so, don't restore System data, ever.
Thank you Decad3nce and dalingrin!
I can't post in the developer thread either but wanted to say thanks to Decad3nce and dalingrin for their excellent contributions.
I used dalingrin's latest 1.1 GHz kernel after applying Decad3nce's v.1.1 "pre-nootered" update and all apps are working with stable operation. Quadrant scores have been averaging between 1100 to 1200.
Thanks to all the other folks in the developer forums who share their experiences. This is a fantastic community.

Nope, didn't try and reinstall anything, just applied the 1.1 zip. It happens if I just let my Nook sit or if I start using it. I have TiBu, but just for backing up apps and app data. It's funny how I am the only one with this issue. I might uninstall all my apps and try the update without apps. Then I can reinstall one by one and see if any of them are causing the problem.
I have the same exact issue

Sorry to hear this, but glad that I am not alone.
Sorry to hear about your troubles. My upgrade to 1.1.0 from auto-nootered 1.0.1 worked fine.
I had the exact thing happen to me. I had to go back to 1.0.1. I am going to try starting from scratch. I will update my findings after that.
So glad to know that I am not the only one. There is also someone having this problem over on Decad3nce's thread. Thanks in advance to anyone who finds a reason and/or a workaround for this.
My nook was updated Ota to 1.1. Then I don't know how I Reverted to 1.01 afterwhich I applied the pre-nooter to 1.1 againbut only had superuser installed, so I had to install applications directly with the stock browser. Finally installEd titanium backup but still can't use Market or Gmail. No application related to google is allowed to install. This is really weird.

There's a NookColor Q and A forums? It would be in the Development forum if I could post there yet. Soon.
Still no luck getting 1.1 to stick.....
Just a quick update... Now everytime I turn on WiFi on my nootered 1.01 it seems to want to update me to 1.1 and breaks my root. Does that just mean that it is trying to push that update? I may need to block OTA updates then. Still trying to get the 1.1 root to work.
Assuming you don't use wifi 'in the wild' you can block 65.204.48.0/24 (65.204.48.0-65.204.48.254) on your router if you have that ability. This seems to block the nooks ability to get updates. This block is in use by B&N for a lot of things.
it will block the wifi's ability to test whether it's connected or not as the internet connectivity test goes to something in this subnet.
So, when I got my first Captivate, I got into my epic Android zone with all the ROMs and all that good stuff and managed to mess all that up royally. Well I got my new one and made myself keep it at stock 2.2, but rooted (in case any cool apps came about needing root and CWM wouldn't flash correctly, got a bunch of E: errors so I am assuming that I don't have CWM installed anywhere). So, with this in mind, whenever (or should I say if they ever) they push the OTA update for gingerbread or allow non market apps (preferably both) do I need to be unrooted (meaning will they shut off my device once root is detected on from the OTA or will it just not be pushed because I'm rooted) or will it just push over my current ROM, possible recovery?, etc.?
EDIT: So, does the unroot function of superoneclick work or no?
Anyone care to touch this?
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for another stock update, just my two cents.
Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.
When I had my rooted D1 I tried the OTA to see what would happen. I received in error saying that it did not work. I don't think it will work with a rooted phone????

If you are rooted the OTA will fail, but then OTA from Att always fails. OTA updates are not safe to begin with but that is just my 2 cents

To be honest I am not sure. As I only run stock long enough to,find the info to get a custom rom. If I remember right it wipes the device kinda like Odin when flashing so you may be ok.
The first update that came out for captivate, I was rooted and it worked. Worked for many others. Then the update to 2.2 came out and those who were stock rooted lost root. Its just best to be stock with update. Those that had failed updates, the majority used dg's odin package to go back to stock. That's what I remember in the "let's figure this out" thread.

I'd say just use one of the roms, sideload apps you use daily and wait it out. nandroiding to a different device is bad news, my friend.
I also am having the same issue with not being able to install to sdcard, you're not alone.

Same here. Luckily my TiBackup seems to be installing everything fine, just have to wait out a fix and sideload in the meantime.
Edited... Always read the entire ROM thread before posting... quick fix is listed in there.
I've been having the problem since I installed ViperROM last night. Viper is working on finding a fix. For now, I copied my TiBu files over from my Evo LTE and restored them that way.

What version of Kingo did you try? Use 1.1.5 or 1.1.8. People have had success with that. 1.1.8 worked for me. Just Google around and you will find the download on the net somewhere.

You can try a factory reset and then root. If not there is a thread in the general section to go back to stock. Works great. I used it.

Factory Reset after the update to NB4, also go to recovery wipe cache, then try the 1.18, during the rooting process, look your phone screen, you need to click accept something twice,
I don't know how it all works terribly well but you said you still have Safestrap? Can you still install ROMs and can they have root?
Also, for when you eventually do get it working again. I recommend freezing the ATT updater. It can be awful when it eventually FORCES an update.
I got a free app called App Quarantine and froze "AT&T Software Update".

You will just have to follow the restore to MJ5 thread. The instructions are simple and very easy to follow. Go slow and follow them to the T.
What they do not mention however is do not use a 3.0 USB port. Only 2.0 will work.
Just follow that.
It is literally impossible to brick this phone to the point of it being unrecoverable. There is a tutorial to restore from hard bricks without J-Tag.

Hey graydiggy, I did the restore back to MJ5, but can't seem to get the last step for rooting to work. I tried every way with putting the rdlv on internal...unzipped and zipped. I even tried doing the same on the external sd as well. When I reboot supersu doesn't do anything. Any suggestion on how to get the last step to work?

It has to be unzipped and on the internal. You have to reboot a few times for it to activate. After the first reboot, let the phone sit for a few minutes and then reboot again. You should be good to go after that.
