I rooted my color nook and it just didn't seem to be working correctly so I did extensive reading here on how to unroot it. I did a hard reset and all seems well through the B&N registration process but then the Android character comes on the screen with "Welcome to logicPD Zoom2" at the bottom of the screen and it makes me go through a google registration process BUT the software thinks the Nook is a phone and so of course can't connect to complete the registration.
I can cancel out of that but the "extras" screen still shows the "Market" App, Superuser app, etc. whih o course means that it is still rooted.
I have tried cancelling out of the google registration process and activiating a wireless connection (which works fine) and then signing in through gmail and I get a screen that says "Your phone needs to communicate with Google servers to set up your account. This may take up to five minutes." This is then followed by a screen that says "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporay problem or your phne may not be provisioned for datat services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
So it is not unrooting and it still thinks it is a phone. I have ttried the "8 times" powering up and can't get past the fifth time without it just continuing through the boot process.
Thanks for reading this far. I would appreciate any guidance.

I would keep trying the 8 times reboot process, then after that has completed you have to erase it and de-register it.
You can also try the 2nd method of 8 times reboot through adb,
Set the Boot counter to 8 by typing
If you have installed adb to your desktop, and if your computer is in a state where adb is working, you can go to the directory where you have adb.exe installed and type the following three commands:
adb shell
echo -n -e "\x08\x00\x00\x00" > /rom/devconf/BootCnt
reboot
Part two: ReImage the /data part. This is called Factory Reset
After re-imaging /system in step one, you need to perform a SECOND process to clear /data.
Method 1: Hardware Key Combination
With the NOOKcolor powered off hold down the n button (home) and Power Button until the NOOKcolor powers on.
You will be prompted with a Factory Reset dialog.
Press POWER key to Exit
Press HOME key to continue
Press n button (home).
You will be prompted to confirm.
Press POWER key to Exit
Press HOME key to continue
Press n button (home).
A Clearing Data dialog will show. NOOKcolor will reboot automatically once complete.
Method 2: "Erase & Deregister Device"
Go to Settings
Select "Device Info" under the top "Device Settings" section
Select "Erase & Deregister Device"
Select the "Erase & Deregister Device" button
You will be prompted with the following confirmation dialog
Are you sure you want to reset your Nook?
Doing so will return your Nook to factory settings, erase local content and deregister this device.
Cancel Reset Nook
Select the "Reset Nook" button
A Deregistration message will appear and NOOKcolor will reboot.
Upon reset a Clearing data message will appear
Clearing data...
A reset is being performed.
This may take a few minutes.
NOOKcolor will reboot again once complete.

As stated above, you can't just do one or the other, you have to do both the 8 resets and then the factory reset.
This worked!!!
I was able to get through the "eight times" method using the power button (which is a good thing and the adb option is likely beyond my abilities). It seems that the power button needs to be held down for at least ten seconds after the scrren goes dark each time.
I then used "Method 2" of data clearing and I am back to out of the box condition.
You guys are rock stars. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
i have this same error and am not near my PC, bummer .
Variation of this problem - troubleshooting suggestions?
Can someone suggest a way out of THIS problem?
NC will not boot if SD card is inserted. (Tried 2 different cards with clockwork).
NC boots to LogicPd Zoom2 welcome screen if started without SD card - but icons are unresponsive.
Tried 3 button reset and then restarting 8 times from LogicPd Zoom 2 screen - no luck.
Tried the same from the ANDROID welcome screen just before Logic PD Zoom screen - no luck.
Loaded SDB on my computer but can't get it to recognize the NC; no device is detected. (Tried changing up drivers with no effect).
Tried letting the NC power run down to zero. Won't start in this state and when I recharge, it puts me back into Logic PD screen.
The only progress I've made is that if I let the NC run down to 15% battery power, I get a low battery icon. Clicking that icon will take me to the android settings menu.
Any ideas on what's wrong and how to correct given the limited control I have?

I finally was able to get out of the loop AND install CM7 by following directions found here -

Hi everyone,
I was using my nexus one with low battery, and then it shut down.
I went back to car, attached it to the recharger, and pushed power button.
At this point it turned on and a setup similar to first boot appeared (selection of language, date & time, google account)..
Once the setup was completed, I pressed the home button and associated it with Launcher Pro.
At this point a popup message appeared, saying (translated from italian):
"Sorry! Sudden interruption of the application Launcher Pro (process Android.process.acore). Retry.", with a button named "Retry".
- If I press the "Retry" button, the same popup message appears on and on again.
- If I shut the phone down and restart it, it asks for the SIM pin, the unlock pattern, and then the popup message appears again and again..
- I can't access the menu through the button, and I am stuck in this situation!..
- I tried to uninstall Launcher Pro via appbrain about two hours ago, but with no luck..
Any help would be much appreciated..
Thanks!

Assuming you aren't rooted, I just want to let you know you always have the last resort of resetting the phone back to default, so the phone itself is still fine.
With root, you can ADB and remove LauncherPro.
Hi cigar3tte,
I'm not rooted, so I could "reset the phone back to default".
Do you mean reset it to factory default (aka hard reset)?
Note: If I press the menu button at the bottom of the device, nothing happens and the popup keeps showing up
However, the procedure I found for the hard reset is this:
"With the phone shut off, while holding down the volume button on the side of the N1, press the power button briefly while maintaining the volume button pressed in for around 5-10 seconds.
You should be presented with a menu that allows for: Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock. You can release the volume button at this time.
Select Clear storage with the volume button up and down, then press and release the power button to make the selection.
It will ask you to confirm this decision. Press the yes button using the volume up."
Should i proceed so?
Thanks!

Yes, I meant a factory reset. Before doing so, check for any data you might want to save.
As for the method, what you found should work fine. I've never done a hard reset from the default recovery. I've only done it from the phone itself (which you can't access) and custome recovery.
Hi cigar3tte,
I followed your suggestion and did the shut-off-and-on procedure.
After that, I was asked to complete the initial configuration (time, google account, etc). and I am now on the home screeen!
Thank you so much for your help!
For future reference, you would probably have been able to fix this without wiping... turn the phone on, then when the X appears hold the trackball, it should boot in safe mode and you can remove/clear data as needs be.
AuraxTSense ROM - I know someone having this issue, anything they can try short of full wipe?
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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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?

uPlease help,
I just tried to root my Asus memo pad 7 (Not HD) but it installed or activated a Demo Mode so a pop up message appears every time I block the tablet, and unistalls everything, everytime I reboot the tablet. I tried to wipe data but unsuccessful.
I got frustrated trying to find a solution.
Hey there. This is a common issue and it was already addressed, but I will try to answer anyway:
Once you activated the Demo mode, you'll have to get out of it by pressing the back button for more than 10 seconds. It will ask a password and you should enter 741603. After this, the device will reset itself to factory settings and you will loose everything. You cannot avoid this factory reset once you've activated the Demo mode.
To root the device, get the RootZenFone v1.4.6.4r from here. Install the app and follow the instructions exactly like they are written:
1. Forget the WiFi network you're connected on and shut down WiFi.
2. Open the app.
3. Read all the stuff. Twice.
4. Press the Root me (or whatever) button. The Demo mode will activate, but don't panic, it is normal. If you proceed with caution and don't do any stupid thing, it will work.
5. Wait 10 seconds (count to 10 using "one thousand" or "mississippi").
6. Reboot the device (long press the power button and select reboot).
Good luck!

After re-purposing my Nook Color with CyanogenMod7, I want to give it away and so I think I've restored it back to the 1.4.1 stock version using the "nookcolor_1_4_1_signed.zip" file I found on here. I have the dual B&N and Alt CWM recoveries installed. THANK YOU to those who have helped lead me out of the darkness with great guides and needed files, including "NookColor-emmc-stockrecovery-CWM6012asAlt.zip".
It starts setup. When I get to the section on WiFi, I'm able to connect to my WiFi which says "connected to the internet". It briefly says Registering Device. But then I get "Network Problem: A network-related error occurred. You may have lost connectivity to the local wireless network. Press Continue and we'll try to test your connection". Pressing Continue just takes me back to selecting a WiFi network with the same results.
I never deregistered the Nook Color so I'm wondering if that's it. I wanted to verify it still works okay, including the WiFi, and deregister it. According to bn.com, I'm supposed to do that from the device but it's not cooperating.
Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong and/or how to fix the issue?
Thanks,
Mark
This is what I did to recover my Nook Color after I had CyanogenMod 7 on it and wanted to restore it back to stock so I could donate it to a hospital.
There's a thread on here that talks about restoring Nook Color stock 1.2 rom with CWM using the file "update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip" or "update-nc-stock-1.2-keepcwm-signed.zip". That's what I initially did before I found how to skip the registration process. However, you can probably do this with any NC stock version that's prior to 1.4.4. Once you have updated to 1.4.4 registration works again.
The trick is to get the NC into "factory mode" so you can bypass the registration which they call "skip oobe". That stands for Out Of Box Experience. Doing that lets you bypass the registration process and start using your Nook so you can then apply the 1.4.4 update.
You connect your NC to a computer via USB and then put the nookcolor_1_4_4_update.zip file in the root of the My Nook folder which will have a drive letter. Once that's done, and the battery has enough charge, when the NC goes into sleep mode, it will find that file and upgrade the NC to 1.4.4.
THAT version has the proper TLS security which lets you register the device. You should just see various folders on that drive and maybe one other file. Do not add anything else other than the update zip file, and don't change the file name.
I found a video on YouTube that explains the process. I did this with 1.2 but it will probably work on any newer version hopefully. It's shown for a Nook Touch, but thankfully it also works with the NC. The video shows "Factory" at the top of the Nook Touch screen, but it will appear on the lower left of the NC screen. What IS the same, you touch the blank lower right area to bring up the Skip OOBE button while holding down the Vol+ button.
Nook Registration Bypass
After loading the stock ROM image that's prior to 1.4.4, stop at the first setup screen, hold down the top button on the right (Vol+) and sweep your finger across the top of the screen. Hold the button down until you see a bubble/button appear on the lower left that says "Factory". Tap the button and you'll see a device information screen. Again, hold down the Vol+ button and tap the empty space on the lower right, and the "Skip OOBE" button will appear. Tab the "Skip OOBE" button and you'll now you have a working, but unregistered NC.
That will then allow you to use the USB mode with your computer. You can either download the file directly to the drive letter for the NC or copy it from your computer if you've previously saved it. Follow the update instructions here. https://help.barnesandnoble.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4212/~/having-trouble-connecting-to-your-nook
Once the NC goes to sleep, it will find the update file and apply it. It takes 5-10 minutes so let it do it's thing. Version 1.4.4 fixes the issue about being unable to connect via WiFi to register the device because of B&N now requiring a TLS connection to their registration servers.
