As the title says, I rooted with "AN" 3.0 and 1.1. I erroneously thought this was good to go... but apparently this isn't the official autonooter's team 3.0 release. One of the issues is clockworkmod doesn't work (actually... it works... you just can't get out of it). I'd like CWR to work to install Froyo and eventually HC.
I'm wondering if anyone has downgraded their nook to an unrooted stock 1.0.1 and then re-rooted with the latest official Autonooter (2.12.25)?
I guess these are my questions:
1. If I do the 8boot interruption + data clear (from nookdevs site), does this unroot the nook?
2. if I do #1, and it's unrooted, will I still be on 1.1? I installed 1.1 before AN3.0.
3. if #2 is true... I'll have to downgrade to 1.0.1. But the links in the AN2.12.25 to get 1.0.1 now only provide 1.1 on B&N's site. I can change the URL to the 1.1 download to the 1.0.1 download, right?
Thanks for any help.
should work
I've been wondering the same thing.

Today B&N launched their latest update for the Nook Color and it's a Big one. It includes Android 2.2!
I'll be updating once I'm done here as I have unrooted stock for this very purpose. I'll be back with my opinions on what it's like. For now, if you have Unrooted stock you can update from the URL below. Everyone else, drool over the Update's details and imagine what this could do for our Custom ROMs.

Yes. Dual booting with CM7 still works fine.

Sweet. I can not wait to update. CM7 runs perfectly off my Sandisk Class 4 8GB card, so even if they have blocked rooting, I am still willing to update. That said, as long as they allow dual booting, rooting should always be possible.

Dual booting from SD card is wired into the hardware, there is nothing they can do in software to stop it.
Will Rooted NC get the update?
I have rooted my NC.
I followed instructions for directly applying update with no luck.
Am I correct that the rooted NC will not receive update and that I must return to stock before I can get the new update?
PS If this is true, what is it about the rooted NC that prevents the update?
kernel version?
Can anyone post the kernel version after the update please?

I would suggest flashing back to stock, re-register then applying the update from B&N. (That should remove the root) That what I am doing for a few people at work. Will report back on progress but logically that should work.
What's the point of going to 1.2 if it's not rooted yet?
Some important information from another Forum:
Successful download of update and install
File name: nookcolor_1_2_update.zip
File size: 190 MB (199,715,879 bytes) Size on disk: 190 MB (199,716,864 bytes)
MD5 checksum: D0B6323258F2793D19A1C9286E2AB753

if your 1.2 update fails, check the MD5 on the file against this one. If it is different, your downloaded update file is corrupt.
If I am rooted on just stock 1.1 using one of the autnooter methods what can I do to just flash back to stock and lose root. I saw one thread in the developer forum with a stock 1.1 zip file and figured I could try that. I do not mind losing root as I haven't really been keeping up with all the different roms being released lately and will be using it more for just reading books. Here is the thread I am referring to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945838
Stock 1.1 file works
I was rooted on 1.1 and installed the stock 1.1 file you refer to.
All went well and I was returned to stock 1.1.
Followed Barnes and Noble instructions for the downloaded update and file was recognized as soon as unit went to sleep.
Installation happened automatically and now I am at 1.2.
The kernel is 2.6.32.9... the os is froyo.

I tried to install the update over an Autonootered 1.1. All that happened was the device rebooted and the update.zip file was deleted from the nook. I presume that I need to flash it back to an original version and then install the upgrade. I was hoping I could just layer this update on top of what I have so I wouldn't lose apps that are already installed.
If you have not modified anything after Autonooter, simply following the directions in the 'Flash back to clean stock ROM' wiki and you'll be presented with an out-of-the-box booting NC. After that, simply follow the 'Manual Download Instructions' posted at the Barnes & Noble website to update your NC to the official new stock v1.2.0 ROM.
If you're having trouble updating your NC with Unrooted Stock like me then here's what you need to do. You'll have to reflash to Factory Defaults.
Perform Step 1, Method 1; then Step 2, Method 1
http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
This Reinstalls Stock v1.0 to System partition and then wipes your Data and EMMC partitions. You must perform both steps otherwise it won't work correctly.
Start up Your Nook and follow the Setup. Now download the Update ZIP and drop it on your EMMC's root. Tap the Power button to put the Nook to Sleep. Now Sit back as the Update is installed Automatically.

Hey there Guys & Gals,
Searched throughout the forums and couldn't seem to find a straight answer on this.
I originally rooted my wife's 1.0.1 NC using Autonooter. That worked out great and then I was able to sideload the 1.1.0 NC updated using ROM Manager and CWR to apply the pre-rooted update ROM (this is where I got the pre-rooted sideload: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145). After that I used an SQL editor to turn all the software updates to manual. This manual switch has held the 1.2.0 update off and everything is working great.
However, I'm really interested in 1.2.0 and would love to apply another sideloaded, pre-rooted update IF that exists. Does anyone know if this is out there? It sounds like most NC owners are running CM7 now as opposed to going down the stock rooted (no ROM) version of the NC. Is there anyone who was successfully able to load up rooted 1.2 from rooted 1.1 without having to resort to an alternate ROM?
As a side question, has any 1.1 NC owners had success with the Netflix app or does that absolutely require at least 1.2 to work correctly?
Thanks for your help!!!

Wanted to bump this one again in case anyone had any suggestions. If not, I'll let this thread die.
Same boat here. I'm still running 1.1 with updates set to manual but I have CM7 on SD. I would also like to update to 1.2 but as far as I know, the only way to do it is to return to stock, unrooted 1.1 and then apply the 1.2 update from B&N. After that, you have the manual nooter option to root 1.2.
Have not been able to get Netflix to work on either stock 1.1 or CM7 with and edited build.pro file. It doesn't show up in the Market so I haven't even been able to try to get it to work.
I know there's a CWM-compatible stock 1.2 ROM floating around the dev forum, but I don't know about pre-rooted. It would at least save you unrooting 1.1.
Sounds like best option is to use the 1.2 CWM capable update and then autonoot again... hmmmm. Everything is working great now and I don't want to mess anything up, but netflix and flash are both very tempting...
Hi,
I recently updated my Nook Color to 1.4.1 and I really like it.
But... what would be the minimum amount of futzing around I would need to do to the NC to get it to run faster (overclock?)?
I imagine I'd have to root but I am not too interested in doing anything to the stock OS. I really just would like to get the tablet to be even faster if that is possible.
Any links or suggestions? Thanks!
You can't do anything without rooting.....
Yeah, figured that would be the least I'd have to do... now to start the search for instructions. Did 1.4.1 get root already?

I bought my son a Nook for xmas. It was running 1.2 out of the box. I rooted it and added a couple of apps and put it in the box for him. Xmas day, and the Market is not working. When I check the device info, it in now running Ver 1.4.1. What's up? What is my best way to Re-Root it? I tried putting it back to factory stock, and it puts it at 1.4.1.
Help??

Im having the same issue bought one for my dauther for xmas had root had apps and angry birds zeam launcher and so on....she played with it for about 6min then update now on stock 1.4.1 is there a way to root it like nook tablet where you can just have market place and some sort of launcher i really like the best of both worlds on my nook tablet
So, what neither of you did is block updates. Personally, I've found the most effective way is to update the database, but that's water under the bridge now.
Best thing going for your current situation is here
Where is the block update?
Thanks

Use the 3.0.2.8 CWM image and follow the link doncaruana posted above. Download and copy the MN 5.12.20 to the root of the CWM SD card. Then install the the MN file from within CWM. GMPower has laid it all out in his post in the NC Dev section in a post titled "[NC][1.2][1.3] ManualNooter 4.6.16" just use the MN 5.12.20 file instead.
