Turned on the screen of my rooted 1.0.1 NC this morning finding a notification saying that the software has been "updated" to 1.0. Now it just keeps bootlooping.
Only setting that was different from the other nights was that the the WiFi sleep policy was changed to NEVER in Spare Parts.
Any idea as to why this happened? Looks like I will have to reset, update and root again.
Did you block OTA updates?
Homer
I believe the auto nooter does that for you?
I don't think so. Look in /etc/security for the file otacerts.zip to check. If it is still there, do a search for blocking ota updates. It is possible that was the culprit. Another possibility is that you had an authentication error. Have you done any restoring of system apps/data?

If not blocking the OTA setting was indeed the culprit (even though I was already on 1.0.1), I think A LOT more people would have this issue.
I went through and did the whole rooting process all over again. Hopefully clockwork recovery will be available soon. Just don't want people to have the same problem as I did.
I had the same issue & it went into a partial cycling reboot mode where it would begin spelling out "nook color" then show the big 'n' n then the colors would ripple & when that stopped it would start the cycle over. Eventually it did the update back to 1.0.0 & I was able to reset & unroot.
A replacement NC is on its way to my house.
BTW the update back to 1.0.0 happened both before & after rooting with auto-nooter.

What is wrong with your NC?

Not sure if this discussion has already happened.
I have noticed twice since rooting my nook (with 2.12.25) that it has randomly restores back to 1.0.0 (or seemingly).
The first time it was just sitting beside me and it did one of its un-commanded restarts. I noticed that it was reloading the original 1.0.0 version. I lost everything and the nook was unresponsive after finishing. I followed all the hard reset rules and then upgraded to 1.0.1. I then autorooted again and reinstalled all apps.
Last night it did it again while I was using it. I was reading a book and then went to check email. I got an error message something like "invalid authorization" and that it was reloading the base software. I let it do its thing and go through its reboots. I also let it automatically update to 1.0.1 before I touched it. I re-registered it. Now when it loads it doesn't show the normal rooted nook boot screens. When I go into extras I see only the stock apps plus the additional ones that the auto-nooter loads (everything else gone). I tries to get me to log into LogicPD Zoom (Google) but it fails to load.
Has anyone else seems this?
Is there a way to re-load or fix the nook color install without having to go through the complete wipe process?
Once I fix is there some setting we can change to prevent it from happening again?
Thanks
After nootering the nook, I proceeded to load clockwork mod and made a backup of the OS. Now when it auto restores, I can reinstall the backup from clockwork mod by holding both Power and the Nook Key for five seconds when powering on.
Still don't seem to know how to stop the auto restoring though
Mine restarts too, has since I rooted it. Thankfully, there is no data loss, just an inconvenience. If there were a log being kept (like in other OSs), I could at least go there to find out what is crashing it.
Acts like a low memory restart, but that isn't what it is.

Wanted to add that mine does this also. It has happened 3 times in 4 weeks. Thank god for ClockWork it is not to big a deal now to restore. I wish someone could figure this out tho.
Mine actually randomly boots up (I'll have it off, then hear it start up a few hours later). Not sure it's related, but thought I'd mention it in case it turns out to be.

Mine used to restart everytime it went to sleep. Happens to alot of people. SetCPU and On Demand usually fixes it. There is like 2 or 3 of these threads in Q&A

Except they're talking about the system restoring itself, not rebooting.
It has to reboot to restore. Thought if you fix the reboot problem it would help maybe not... My bad
I'm autonooted on 1.0.0 and have never had an ota restore or update.
Sent from my Nook Color
Have you guys made sure to rename the otacerts file after rooting?
There are several active threads on this. In my case it was a faulty power button. I went ahead and exchanged the unit. Replacement is 1.01 and feels like the case is sturdier. Might be imagining that. Check my other posts on the subject. Good luck.

I have done some research here and on Google on a really odd problem...
My wife has a NC I updated to 1.0.1 then rooted. About a week later on her way to work it restarted and unupdated (?) back to 1.0.0... So I thought it was a fluke, root was gone but most things still worked, not Youtube or market but other apps I installed while / did.
Now twice, 2 days in a row I have checked out the device, I installed Clockwork, did a backup and the next morning on the way to work (She works in manhattan, takes the train in) it is bootlooped "touch the future of reading" so last nite I ran the clockwork restore and it was fine then again this morning... same thing stuck in a boot loop.
As happy as I am about her being able to restore it on her own...it takes a while and shes at work by the time its done! and the maddening part is that I booted it multiple times the nite before in both cases...
What could be causing this? Things I haven't tried yet?
I checked the SD to make sure there weren't any update.zips or similar,
I have not formatted the SD, that I will do tonight.
I read the whole thread regarding Clockwork I didn't see anything I might have messed up...Does this have to do with uSD boot priority and maybe I have a hidden file on the SD?
And I have really searched for something similar, people have bootloops but not like mine that I can see.
Sorry for being long here but this is frustrating, I'm not all that new at this I've been voiding my warranties for a long time and this one has me stumped...
Thanks in advance for any reasons, suggestions.
EDIT: Looks like I am not alone, I am seeing more of these problems pop up now.
Did you disable OTA updates?
I'm on 1.0.0 and haven't had issues at all. Seems that folks having this issue are all on 1.0.1 (or at least from what I've noticed). So, perhaps, to go 1.0.0 and root?

I have disabled OTA but if this is a registration/ auth problem I guess it wouldn't help.
I have NOT gone the 1.0.0 then root path and that sounds like a good next step, thank you.
*2nd EDIT*
Okay now I don't feel so dumb, I renamed the otacerts.zip thing but i am still getting reset
I did find an application that is call BN authentication service. I can't uninstall it from the normal App installer, anyways to get around this? Like ADB
*EDIT*
Ha I feel so dumb, I just needed to reboot, then change the names. So after i changed the names I rebooted again and its all good now
Thanks eyecrispy

I have a rooted nook color with a stock 1.0.1 rom, CWR, and a over clocked kernal. I have only 1 real problem, I guess besides not being able to download from the marketplace - my nook keeps on getting reset by B&N! They don't unroot it, and my recovery is still intact, but it really sucks not being able to connect to their shop. It's not that I would use their shop it's just that I accidentaly press it every now and then and it resets my device. I have to back up my device once everyday to make sure nothing gets deleted because sometimes, even when I don't press the shop button, I don't even have to press anything, it resets the device after its been connected to wi-fi for a while. Like the other day, i just set it down to go to the restroom, I come back to find it at the Android setup or the quick setup selection page. When I select Android setup when I press the little android nothing happens. When I select the B&N quick setup it, i can do that no problem. So now I just turn it off from there and load my back up through CWR.
Anyways, is there anyway to stop it from connecting to the B&N authentication service or something? I have seen people with similar problems, but no one seems to have it happen to them over and over and over again.
Plenty of folks have reported this continuously happening. Have you disabled OTA updates?

Really? All th threads I have read people say it happened once but after a reboot it was fine. Maybe I just missed it. If you could please tell me how to disable OTA updates that would be a big help. Thanks

Found what you meant, I am trying to use Root Explorer but am having no luck. I gave it superuser permissions yet it still wont let me changes any system files
I've had my nook color since when they came out, rooted it immediately, and have rebuilt it a dozen times at first. I've never had 1.0.1 pushed, never had 1.1 pushed, and keep reading about others who are.. The NC is connected almost all of the time, either at my work or home wifi connection or on the road, via tethering.
Anybody else not getting updates? (..and I'm certainly not complaining, just curious)
I'm still on 1.0.0 as well. Never did anything to block updates, and I'm frequently connected to wifi either at my university or at home. Have been inside a B&N with wi-fi maybe on a bunch of times.
Ya all my NC's I have touched, mine, my best friends, and including my parents that just came in today all had 1.0.0 on them, mind you I manually upgraded them to 1.0.1 but no OTA period on any of them.
I never got the push either. Glad I didn't actually.
I've had my NC for a week.. I manually updated to 1.0.1, rooted, later went back to stock, and manually updated to 1.0.. I went back to stock (1.0.0) yesterday.. I went to my local B&N a few hours ago, and then I notice the green 'n'.. I thought that 1.1.0 had been automatically pushed.. when I clicked the 'n', it said.. You have been updated to 1.0.0'! I went to settings -> about your nook, and sure enough, version is 1.0.0!
I thought this is really weird.. Operation is normal, no pinch + zoom in browser, so I think indeed it is 1.0.0 still..
Never got pushed to mine either. I finally just manually updated
No manual updates on my 1.0.0 either. I've disabled OTA certs and have aa profile to turn off wifi when the NC is sleeping.

I couldn't even update to 1.1.0 manually by downloading the update package and copying it onto the root. Media scan happens with occasional reboot but still on 1.0.0
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using XDA App
No push for me...but I never got the original update either...
I never got the update notification either. I manually updated last night and did both the otacert and mod through sqlite to disable updates.
Performance improvement was already noticeable on 1.1.0 even before I flashed the 1.1MHz kernel.

how did you update your nook manually?
There's a link at nookdevs (I would include it but don't have 8 posts yet) that will show you how to update manually to 1.0.1. Mine also never updated automatically so that's what I did. I assume it's something similar for 1.1 but I did a sideload update on mine so I'm not sure

Download either,
http://images.barnesandnoble.com/presources/download/nookcolor/v1.0.1/Sideload_update.zip
http://images.barnesandnoble.com/presources/download/nookcolor/v1.1/Sideload_update.zip
With your Nook Color on and connected, plug the USB cable to your computer. Your Nook Color will mount a drive on your My Computer with something like 5GB. Copy the Sideload_update.zip there. Unplug the USB cable from your computer and plug it to the power outlet. Turn your Nook Color off. After a few minutes it will automatically update so just wait till it's finish.
I've never got update over the air and got tired of waiting.
My Nook Color has been rooted on 1.1 using autonooter for the past few months. I wanted to start fresh before updating to 1.2 to avoid any potential problems during the update, so I reverted to the stock, unrooted firmware. I wiped the media partitions and successfully interrupted the boot process 8 times. The Nook reset itself correctly, but it will not register now. I can choose a network, and the NC tells me it is connected, but when I go to the next step, the circle in the center of the screen just keeps spinning. I don't get a message saying I have a bad connection or anything - the timer circle in the center of the screen just keeps spinning. I have turned it on/off, tried multiple wifi networks, and redid the factory install by interrupting the boot process again.... all to no avail. Any ideas as to what the problem is? Ultimately, I'll go back to B&N and see what they can do, but there is none close to me. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks.
I had a similar problem this morning under similar circumstances. The device would not re-register. I contacted B&N at 800 843 2665 and requested a manual reset. Be prepared to provide them with the initial set up information including credit card and serial number. Your device should be ready to re-register in 3-4 hours.
Try turning off the Nook and then Hold N+Power button. Follow onscreen instructions.

I'm sure that you know by now that it's a problem with B&N. My nook actually just was able to complete the registration after being out for hours.
I kept getting stuck at the same screen earlier, went online and found out how to skip the registration. I did that, then went and did a factory reset on the nook. Turned it off, and then back on, and I was able to re-register successfully. Coincidence?

A friend is having this problem. Can you post the link showing how to skip registration so we can try this?
Thanks.

Just turn off your Nook and hold N+Power for 6 seconds. Follow the On Screen Instructions and it'll Perform a Factory Reset. That easy.
