Looking into getting one of these - has anyone tried to unroot just in case they need to return it?
I just did a little bit ago and it's clean as can be. I needed to just go through the simple opening registration and it's good to go. I'm reloading a bunch of books now and will re-root it a little later.
I did this because I'm having issues with my shelves. I can't edit them. I wanted to do a hard reset to see if that fixes the issue. This was a problem since before I rooted it in the first place. The only thing I can think of to fix the problem was hard reset. I'm happy to say that my nook is as clean as it was the day I bought it.
Can you post the steps you went through to factory reset the Nook?
I'm happy to say that I not only unrooted it, but I just rooted it again and it works perfectly. My shelves problem was fixed due to the hard reset and now I can load programs again.
To do a hard reset, hold down the power button, +Volume button and the Home Nook button at the same time until your machine powers down. Turn your machine back on and it should give you a choice to reset your nook. Power button will cancel it and the nook home button at the bottom will continue with the reset. Confirm it and it will take a couple minutes and your machine will be back to square one.

I thought that doing this doesn't fully remove root? It's a little more complicated to un-root it entirely.

A full system restore removes the root. There were no permanent S-OFF or H-OFF mentioned in rooting the device.
I was under the under the assumption that the root effected none of the base files and a hard reset wiped everything not originally there out.
Mine was completely back to square one with no traces of the root. I had no ability to install anything through the normal terminal commands.

This post says that a factory reset won't undo everything:
clockworx said:
The procedure he is talking about, the factory reset, unfortunately does not overwrite everything. pokey was going into some details about it in the Recovery Thread under Development. There is a way to trigger a "real" restore, but it's not easily accesible.
Also, I've never had a customer service rep check for root when I've returned electronics.

But you're saying that it in fact will undo everything and restore completely to factory settings? Not that it really matters, since I doubt they'll check as clockworx said.
It would be interesting to have someone do a factory reset, and then see if adb works w/out the SD card rooting ... any volunteers.
If someone decides to do the reset described above, perhaps they could do the favor of attempting adb access to see if the root files have really been overwritten. I thought that Pokey was mentioning something else when he did a factory reset as described above.
It's always nice to know there is a safety net in case something goes terribly wrong. I was so close to returning my nook. I had it packaged up and ready to go the when the nook finally got root.
When attempting the reset in order to factory reset my device, I am not given the choice after the power down to reset. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Just reset my device and here are the things I have noticed...
1) The reset does not overwrite all the files. My volume buttons are still mapped to back and menu.
2) ADB access is gone. I tried to connect to adb and it would not allow it.
So apparently the important files are being overwritten but some of the settings files are not.
I wasn't able to reset my NC until I uninstalled SoftKeys. I'm assuming it had something to do with mapping the hardware home key. I may have been able to unmap it, but uninstalling worked fine.
I just did this. I kept root but still had to nooter. Weird right?
I had renamed the keyboard to LatinIME.bak in favor of the Droid X keyboard. After the reset, I had NO keyboard at all and couldn't do the B&N signin. I fixed this by
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
cd /system/app
mv LatinIME.bak LatinIME.apk
The .bak was still there luckily. I didn't need to reboot or anything, the keyboard popped right up.
Unroot is Easy
First do the hard reset as described above - this only clears Data.
Then, you must hold the power button down while the Nook is booting. That is,
1. turn the Nook completely off
2. turn it on and immediately on seeing the first message "the future of reading" press and hold the power button until it turns off again
3. repeat this 7 more times for a total of 8
4. on the 9th time, let the Nook completely reboot without holding the power button - you will see a message saying "installing a software update..." and after this everything will be back to factory new (the system will be totally restored)
BN has implemented a counter so that after 8 unsuccessful reboots, the system is restored

OK, did this and I'm stuck in an initialization loop. Just keeps running that process over and over. Getting kinda worried here...
My nook just auto updated and came up....dirty. It wouldn't finish a restart, but after the hard reset came right back up. Thanks for the help!!!
what was the outcome?

I have a weird issue that just started a few days back. I was on rooted 1.1 when the "Do you want to shut-down?" window would randomly pop up. If I did nothing, the unit would completely power off. If I hit the power button quick enough, the screen would shut off (putting it into standby) and the unit would not power off. I could then press the power button, swipe to unlock, and continue where I was.
I thought maybe it was related to me modifying the db to disable the auto-update from 1.1 to 1.2. However, I updated to 1.2 yesterday evening and rooted it as well. Unfortunately, the "Do you want to shutdown?" window started popping up again all by itself.
It's almost as though the unit thinks the power button is being pressed (and held). I tried squeezing the case around the edges, wiggling the power button, cleaning the screen, etc. There doesn't appear to be any particular reason why this is happening. I'm going to try wiping the device and flashing 1.2 again, unrooted, and see if the issue persists.
Does this sound like a hardware issue that requires replacement?
Restore your nook to stock and go to B&N and get your nook exchanged.
It definitely seems like a hardware fault.
I had the same problem with my first NC. I would be reading, doing whatever and the screen would blur and shutdown menu would appear. If I did nothing (and even if I hit cancel) it would shutdown as if the power button was just being held.
I had used the autonooter with 1.1 at the time, though I believe it was pure coincidence since the problem persisted after completely restoring to stock. My advice would also be to restore to stock and exchange it.
I consider myself lucky because I tried multiple times to restore to stock but would get interrupted since I had this problem even on boot. It was common for the device to interrupt boot so many times (>8 times) because the power button would get "stuck" that it would attempt to reflash. The button never felt physically stuck though.
I finally reverted to stock successfully, took it to B&N, showed a manager, during which the NC failed to boot, shutdown automatically, etc. and I had it exchanged no problem.
2nd NC works great though.
Thanks for the input - I will restore to stock tonight and take it in tonight or tomorrow.
I called one store - their "guru" isn't in until Tuesday.
I called another nearby store and the guy on the phone sounded irritated, brushed it off as a registration issue, and finally made it very plain that they will simply mail it off to the repair center if I bring it in...
After going back to stock 1.2 without root, the power-off message issue mysteriously disappeared. I've used it for 2 days now and have yet to see the message pop up.
Is it possible that it's software-related??
I have an AT&T unlocked Nexus One that I recently flashed to CM-7.0.3-N1 . I have had a problem unlocking the device with the power button both when I was running stock Gingerbread and now that I have installed CM7.
When the screen is off and my N1 is in standby, I push the power button and the screen turns on and then back off almost immediately. Sometimes there is a half second delay before the screen turns on and then off. This usually goes on 2 or 3 times until the screen will stay on and I can unlock my phone.
Has anyone seen or heard of this problem, and maybe knows of a fix? It could be hardware related, but the button definitely sends a signal to the phone and it works fine to shutdown or turn on the device from completely off. Thanks.
ummm the power button on the nexus one has an incredibly high failure rate, all over the forum here. its a design defect from the factory. that's why it has always been recommended to root the device immediately, and use trackball wake, so you avoid using the power button as much as possible. you have to send the device to HTC for repair, that's your only option...
Thanks for the information. I will have to look into repairs.
You are already running a rooted rom with track all wake. Use it. To reboot the the phone use quickboot. At this stage you really don't need the power button on your phone.

This is a problem with CM7. Most advise turning off the screen off animation if it becomes a big problem for you. Make sure you are using the newest nightly and hope for a fix. I don't know if the RC's have this problem, but I would bet it appears on the 7.0.3 release.
At first glance that seems to have helped. Thanks for the advice!
No problem.
Also you can use widget locker to lock the screen then the trackball to wake, with that and quickboot I don't even touch my power button anymore. Although your problem doesn't sound like a broken power button so in your position I would switch ROMs and see what happens.

I'm experiencing exactly this too on the latest RC. It doesn't seem to be complete button failure but it's acting like I've pressed it twice sometimes. Disabling the screen-on animation does seem to prevent it from popping back on. But it still sometimes goes on-then-off when I wake it with the power button. So now I'm using trackball wake too.
As others have mentioned, this does not sound like a powerbutton issue, because the powerbutton still turns on the screen. The problem is that the screen turns off immediately after it turns on.
When you flashed 7.0.3, did you come from a previous CM verison? From stock? My first suggestion would probably be to wipe the /system partition (in CWM, it is under mounts and storage -- with Amon_RA, you need to find a flashable zip to do it) and reinstall CM and gapps. This will not cause any data loss. Sometimes, if you install a new ROM over an old one, the upgrade script in CM can get confused and carry over files that aren't supposed to be carried over. The system wipe fixes that.
I've been using this RC since it came out in late June. Only this week did it start flipping out on me.

It still can't hurt anything to do a system wipe, just in case something got screwed up (these things can be so temperamental at times). And, like I said, you won't lose any of your data.

I'm currently using S2E for apps2ext and some data2ext. How would a system wipe and reinstall interact with that? I'm a bit nervous on that front.
A system wipe shouldn't change any of that. It is one benefit of using S2E as it is a standard app that is stored in the /data partition without any changes to the /system partition.
Anyway, to be safe, it is a good idea to do a nandroid backup anytime you are doing something that involves the majority of the features in recovery.
It's a hardware problem for me. Failed completely as of today.

CM7 7.1.0
My power button seems to be in the process of completely failing. The new CM7 update to 7.1.0 has made it possible for me to lock the screen without using the power button using the "Notification power widget" -> "Go to sleep". Now the only times I have to use the power button are to shut the phone down or wake it up, which seems to be easier when the phone is plugged in to a wall charger. Are there any simple apps for shutting the phone down and maybe waking it up at a set time?
The only reliable trick I found to turn it back on was to plug into the wall and take the battery out/in a few times till it vibrated.
I ended up getting a replacement phone and then I sent the Nexus to HTC. They quoted a $55 repair cost off warranty which my credit card insurance would've covered, but when I asked for an invoice they offered to just waive the charges. Finally over a month later it came back fixed.
The app Easy Reboot can shut the phone down.

I also use an app called Lock Screen, which just locks the screen. I have it stored in my dock, because I don't like the space being used in the notification widget.
CM7 has an option for one of the items in the notification tray widget to be a lock screen button.

THANK YOU!!!! This has been driving me crazy. Turning off the screen-off animations did nothing, but turning off the screen-on animation seems to have fixed the issue. My power button is toast (my new power button ribbon cable just arrived... time for surgery), and I've been using the trackball to wake my phone. Before the power button died, it did the same thing. I'm using CM7.2. I installed it after rooting and went straight to cm7.2 from stock, so obviously the cyanogemnod crew haven't fixed the issue since 7.0.3 when this thread started.
Hi Guys
The SD card slot on my Nook Color broke (card won't stay inserted and just pops back out). I am currently running Phiremod, but now need to return the device to B&N and want to get the stock OS on there.
There are obviously a lot of posts out there about restoring it to the stock software, but is it possible to do this without a functioning SD card slot? If not, has anyone tried returning a NC that is running a non-stock OS?
Thanks
I had this same thing happen to me. I did a three fingered hard reboot and then wiped again from within the b&n stock OS.
Power down the nook. When the cyanogwn logo comes up, hold down both volume keys, the n key and the power button at once (hence: three finger wipe). Hold the keys down for about ten seconds until the nook powers down. It will flash and as it is rebooting, repeat the same three fingered press. You will have to repeat this operation sucessfully 8 times in a row. If you don't press the buttons correctly, or in time, the boot animation may load. If so you will have to start the process over.
After the eighth successful hard reboot, the Barnes and noble stock will oad. Complete the b&n registration process, and then go into settings and do a complete wipe/factory reset. You must do both the hard reboot and the internal stock OS factory wipe to have the nook completely reset!
It is that easy.
Edit: oh yeah, there were no issues with the return. I did call and make sure they knew what the problem was, which was obviously a hardware issue, but since it was completely wiped, this method should work for anyone and any reason, functioning sdcard slot or no.

Thanks. Will try that tonight.
This worked well. Thanks for the instructions.
Small edit to the instructions above would be that you only have to hold down the '+' volume button when doing the three finger reset -- not both volume buttons. Also, on my version of Phiremod, there was no CM logo, so I just started the three finger reset after the "read forever" logo disappeared.
It actually took me two attempts at stringing together 8 in a row to get it to work. When it finally worked, I can't be sure that it was actually the 8th time, but just keep at it.
You guys keep surprising me every day, for real.
From running CM7, left it in the car where temp. was around 7 degrees, suddenly it returns to stock, and now running a custom ROM, just do a 8-time reboots and it's back to stock? Without reflashing stock ROM first? How that possible?
I had to return mine for the same reason and simply held the card in with my finger while wiping and restoring. Was somewhat painful and tiring but it worked. Just another reason for people not to frequently swap cards on this device.
Oh man, i tried that. I tell you what, I spent forever trying that method. For real, it made me want to smash the thing and never look back. I have some big hands, and the card kept slipping on me halfway through. It took me a while to find this method and i couldn't believe this wasn't option one instead of somewhat unknown.
That person who literally froze their nook back to stock- now that was just wild.

As far as I'm concerned that *is* the stock ROM. Literally, the Read Only Memory that it comes out of the factory with. Nothing short of an EMP can remove it. Mine falls back to version 1.0.0 after an 8+1.

Until that day, I am always under the impression of flashing custom ROM means OVERWRITES the stock ROM, no? If what's you said is true, then flashing custom ROM was just placing it ON TOP of the stock one.
Yeah, you literally can't lose the factory ROM. Its a beautiful thing. Having the sdcard as the primary boot makes the nook an ideal hacking tablet. I have torn through and messed with just about every system file and database I could think of, because it was all risk free.
I know that the tech moves fast, and people have their new darlings, the luster wears off and all that, but the nook is probably my favorite gadget I've ever bought. Unkillable.
LOL , after using NC for almost a year, I still find something to love the NC even more
It is awesome.
still trying
Am I doing this wrong?
Do I try the three finger wipe when the cyanogen(mod) symbol comes up or when the cyanogen(mod) 7 animated logo starts? All I wanted is access to Android apps( being from Canada).
Tried more than 8 times at the first symbol, but it comes up but the text ....Booting into recovery... Am I too quick on the trigger? Please excuse the old fart with big fingers. Thanks for any replies.

Start with the Nook completely powered off.
Press and hold the Pwr. button, the Vol. + button, and the n button until you see the screen flash.
Release all buttons for 1 sec then press and hold only the Pwr. button until the Nook powers down. (Backlight off) This works best in dim lighting.
Do it again.
Do it 8 times in a row and the next time it will install the image stored internally and you will be back to what it came out of the box with.
If you goof up the timing and it starts to boot up you will have to power it down again and start over at count one.
I have done this several timems on 2 different Nooks and it always works.
Oh and stop with the old fart stuff. I'm 60.
This was extremely helpful when for some reason it wasn't letting me restore the device in the first place. I really should've known about this but I appreciate it greatly and it is pretty great that it works so easily.

So what your saying is that I can restore my NC back to stock even if I've installed CM7 directly to the emmc, using the 3 fingered "salute" boot? I think I did something like this months ago, but my NC has been on the full android for so long now, I want to return it to B&N stock seeing as I have an android phone now...and maybe start over again.

I've never tried it in that exact situation but I think the answer is yes...
i tried this and after the 3rd attempt, the Rom manager menu appears and now i am on a rom menu loop, I hit reboot, the cyanogen logo appears and then the ROM manager menu!
not good!
I boot using sd card that was formatted with CM7.2 and works fine.
help please!
thanks!

I think you mean the Clockworkmod menu, not ROM Manager. If you are in a recovery bootloop, which it sounds like you are, go to my tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A8. Follow what it says and it may get out of it.

I have been tryin to do this but after the 4th/5th try it boots into recovery. Am i doing something wrong:crying:
Hi all,
Putting up this post because I am at my wits end! I have had my Galaxy Tab S2 now for about a month. Just recently I would be using it and it would seem to start lagging a bit, and then without warning it would basically either power cycle, or just freeze and power off. Upon restarting, everything would go as per normal, and then after a few minutes it would happen again.
Went through the process of backing everything up so I could factory reset. This was a strange experience. The files would begin transferring to the backup media, and then the process would freeze, and the power cycle happen again. What made it strange was that if I kept touching the screen, the transfer would continue. Leave it to its own devices and it would freeze and power down or power cycle. Anyways, managed to get what I could off it. On to a factory reset.
Ensuring it was off, I pressed the power and volume up buttons, ending up with a screen with the android robot. Then it shows a screen with the android robot on its side and an exclamation mark above it. Finally to the recovery screen. Here things got a bit hinky too. I would use the volume up/down keys to move through the options available, and then found that the up/down buttons became unresponsive. Frustrated I touched the screen a couple of times and what do you know, the selected choice would move according to what volume button pressed. OK that's weird, and what do you know, after a while it reboots irregardless of choice.
Finally managed to get it to factory reset, wipe everything and on start launch into the setup procedure. "Yay" thought I, "Nay" thought the tablet. Now i'm stuck with a tablet that gets about halfway through the process, freezes, then reboots or powers off. Thing is, it ALWAYS seems to happen at a point in which keyboard interaction is required. I get about halfway through typing my name and snap.
So yeah I have no idea. I'm thinking it could have something to do with battery, however, this all still occurs even if it is plugged into a source. So before I go about trying to work out how to get the back off, I thought I would ask for some advice here!
Seriously, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Chyr0n
