I just installed update 1.1, then tried to use autonooter, I didn't actually get anywhere using autonooter(The nook wouldn't even turn on?), so I took the SD card out, now I'm stuck at the screen where it shows the nook N, and "contains reader mobile technology by Adobe Systems Inc." at the bottom..
Any help?:/
8 times reboot? CWR for restoring the stock rom? CWR for flashing froyo? There are many options. I did all of them before for fun.

Here's a couple options for ya'.
Nook Color Restore to stock
Flash back to clean stock ROM
On the plus side, it's almost impossible to brick a nook color, so one of these should work for ya'. Best of luck to you, mate.
~Q
Okay, I got it to boot up again with the 8times reset, and did the power+n.
But for some reason, now it won't let me re-register it? I get an error, and it tells me to reboot.
Anyway, can anyone tell me how to update to 1.01? The B&N site only has a download for update 1.1... I think that's where I went wrong.
Thanks a lot, guys

Go ahead and boot it up, then go in to Settings -> Device Info -> Erase & Deregister Device. Let it do it's thing, and after the reboot, you should be at 1.0.0. Go and head and register your device now. =)
After you're all re-registered, head over to here, download the update, then just skip down to "Installing the update" since you'll already be on stock.
Enjoy! =)

Thank you very much, trying it right now!
I love how helpful the community is. I really want to use autonooter to get android on my nook. I just hate that there wasn't really clear instructions written for people who are noobs at this.
I have another question, if I'm just going to use it as a tablet, do I need to register it with B&N before I use autonooter? I don't plan on using it to actually buy any B&N books, and I'm having trouble regestering it.
Glad to help, bud. =)
If you plan on doing some really advanced stuff like moving Nookie Froyo to take the place of the stock ROM on the eMMC, you really don't need to register. However, if you plan on just using ROMs off the sdcard and keeping the stock ROM on the nook itself (like I do), you probably still want to go ahead and re-register just in case. But, if you just can't get the little fekker to register, don't worry about it. It won't hurt anything.
I suggest you to try out froyo on SD card first see if you like it. When you have time, do read about the cwr in the development forum. It is very easy to flash different rom to NC by using cwr.

Hi Guys,
After a few days hacking my nook, I tried the new market for the nook, and the market wouldn't work. I did have a backup but I really wanted to get the new one working. After a few days of trial and error, (Changing permissons, reinstalling, etc.) I found this script on NookDevs-http://nookdevs.com/Enable_the_Android_Market, and wanted to see if this would get me back to stock+root with market and everything. It didn't. My nook won't boot up anymore. It gets stuck on where it has the big gray N and it says Contains Reader Mobile Technology by Adobe at the bottom. I have clockworkmod installed, so I can't take it back to the store. Any help uninstalling clockworkmod or making it boot would be appreciated. I really would hate it if I wasted money on this thing.
PS-I am on update 1.01, and adb is semi-working. I'm sure I could get it to work if I played around.
Bump...
Sure would appreciate if someone helped.
I haven't had to do it but its possible to reset it to factory. Search for "reset" in this board. Something about 8 failed boots resets it to stock.

I used Nookie Froyo to boot and get my device back to usable when it was looping like no other.
Got Nookie Froyo working, but I can't seem to find a way to remove Clockworkmod or restore the system from there. If I removed clockworkmod, I could take it back to the store and exchange it, but restoring it to factory would be even better because I wouldn't have to take it back. I took back my broken Nook charger before, and the guy wanted me buy a new one.

I don't think you can (yet). That's why they said don't use the in-work version until it's finished, unless you're ok with not being able to restore.
Well, I suppose I shouldn't, but I really wanted to be ready when the ROMS came out. Is there any way I can remove clockworkmod? I wish I hadn't installed that now. I hope I'm not screwed.
Please excuse my ignorance. I followed a youtube tutorial and was able to root my Nook to Honeycomb. But now, i have no ebook reader and when i try to download one from the android market or it doesn't install. I successfully downloaded the kindle app from the amazon store but once it loads, it crashes sometimes just on launch and sometimes when clicking the free books the the kindle app came with.
Another issue im having is I have no clue how to access files on my SD card. Even if i connect my nook to the comp, it recognizes that a hard drive was connected but it doesn't mount so i can transfer files to and from it. Sorry for the noob questions.
Not sure if this helps but in "About Phone" the Kernal Version is 2.6.29-omap1. Build number is sdk-eng Honeycomb Nook eng.rbrune.20110131.162619 test keys
Thanks
Honeycomb port is just really in its infant stage right now, I would suggest you going to CM7 and familiarize yourself with all the settings before jumping to HC.

I am thinking you are having some terminology confusing. Putting on the Honeycomb build is not rooting; it is flashing a rom. You can root your factory OS, which will let you add things like the android Market and such. Since you are already at the point where you can flash a new ROM, you can just flash the CM7 build just like you did the Honeycomb build.
I agree with everyone. Flash to CM7. I tried Honeycomb but didn't like it. I had the same problem with apps not installing. For me, I had to turn the NC off after a download and back on to see the apps installed. CM7 is running awesome on my NC. I have both Kindle and NC ereader apps running without issues.

You're right. I have all the terminology screwed up. Its my first time doing anything like this and to top that, I've never even owned an android phone. Anyway, Gonna attempt to go to CM7. Is it the same process? just put the CM7 zip file on the sd card that i just imaged? Would you be so kind to post a link with the latest file? If not, I will search and hope I get the latest. Thanks for your replies. I appreciate it.

Yes.. just download the CM7 from cyanogens website. Click the Nook Color under "All Supported Devices". Get the latest stable one.. 7.0.3. Try the nightlies out when you get bored of a functional new device.

Cool. So I downloaded and installed CM7. Looks like it loaded nicely but then i keep getting this popup "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" Any suggestions? Thanks!
EDIT: BTW, did I have to reformat before installing CM7? I just installed it right over HC and the few apps I had downloaded before were still on the NC plus my wireless settings were still there and everything.
Ok. I was too desperate. So I went ahead and reformated then reinstalled CM7. Everything is working nice and smooth. My only issue now is I don't have the android appstore to download apps. None of the google apps are installed either. I can't even get the amazon app store cause it wants to send me an sms with the download. Thanks again for the help guys!

Since I'm on my nook on the xda app I don't have a link handy, but you need to flash a file called gapps (Google apps) after a normal cm7 install. You should be able to find the file linked here our in the cyanogenmod.com site.
After that, it should prompt you to set up all of your normal google accounts.

Yup. I downloaded the gapps-ga-20110307-signed zip file and what i'm not sure of is if I installed it right but here's what i did. This is what i did 5. 'install zip from sdcard' --> 'choose zip from sdcard' --> select "gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip. I followed these instructions from another post. Anyway, it stated that it was installed successfully but i got nothing. No gmail or anything. Its as if i didnt install anything at all. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Do you have wifi turned on? I believe that you need to turn on the wifi to get the market app to show up.
Yes...I have the wifi on. weird. Any other suggestions? Thanks

OK....Im gonna give this one last try when I get home tonight. If this doesn't work, I think i'm just gonna give up and restore it back to Nooks factory default. I got this for my wife and she loved the way the Nook displayed the books much better than the 3rd party apps I found on amazon store. Sucks cause I know the Android store has the Nook app but I can't get to it and for some reason, I can't download it from the Barnes & Noble site. Oh well. Thanks for your help.
Stevemp....worked like a charm. Couldn't get the nook app to work properly so i just bought moon reader and its perfect. My only issue now is that when I connect my nook to my pc via usb, the pc doesn't recognize it. I thought I bookmarked some instructions a some thinks i needed to download onto my pc and what not but I can't find it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Windows only sees the first partion on the sdcard. I use Samba File Sharing from the Market to transfer files. It's wireless and easy to use. Go into settings and set your password and you should be good to go.

When you connect the NC via USB, do you see a USB symbol in the notification bar? If so, pull it down & you can enable USB connection to the PC. Be sure to eject when finished.

I used the method outlined in this post to get the Market and Apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
I noticed that some people had difficulty booting into Recovery Mode while installing the Apps package. I did too, so what I did was just continued to hold down the 'n' throughout the entire startup, rather than releasing it, and then gapps installed fine
I now find that I hardly boot to the NC OS any longer to use it, I just run the CyanogenMod almost all the time.
I have searched this site for a few days trying to find some sort of answer...okay well an answer i can understand. but perhaps my n00banism is getting in the way. I've broken my nookcolor but it's not broken. yep. exactly. Here is my story:
I was able to root my nook thanks to theunlockr.com. I followed those directions and was able to get a nightly of cm7 (which i ran on my device for 3 months or so). when i tried to update to the stable version I kept getting an error message that the file was bad...i forget the exact wording. SOOO enter me, and my awesomeness. I found tipstir.the-talk.net and an option to load honeycomb on my nookcolor (which seems to be running fine btw). Somehow during that my clockwordmod rom manager was missing. I hadn't yet loaded the gap pack so i went online to the android market and downloaded it. yay. I tried to 'reboot into recovery' to load or 'flash'...but it just reboots normally.
I have since found that the kindle app and aldiko (which is the only app i've found that will read my old sony ereader books) just wont run on honeycomb which makes it all but useless to me since i use this primarily as an ereader.
I dont know what to do to fix the situation that i've found myself in. I think i read somewhere that you can load cm7 on an sd card and run it...but how then would I fix the situation that i've gotten myself into?
yhea...i have just enough interest in these sort of things to get myself in trouble, but not enough practical knowledge to get myself out of the pickles. SO please help the lame and powerless!
Thanks so much
Mikaela
The most surefire fix is to make a cwm card, flash back to your stock firmware, then either use cm7 on the card or install it on your nook(emmc). Basically, treat it like you bricked it. There are quite a few threads that can tell you step by step how to do it.

Hi everyone!
I am very new to rooting and this website. I have rooted my NC using a You Tube Video to go by. I have rooted doing the CM7 and also rooted using just the autonooter.
I like the autonooter version best because I have access to the market, plus the orginial B and N sites. Now, comes the 1.3 update. I love People magazine, and as of now, everyone is saying that is the only way I can get it. Has anyone come up with how to use the autonooter with the 1.3 update??
Thanks!!

Um...not to be rude, but have you bothered to look much? There's a whole (active) thread right here on the general board about this, not to mention the updated manual nooter thread in the development board.
For your information I have "bothered to look" .. I had some other questions, but I will look for my answers elsewhere!......Not to be rude
I was able to root my wife's Nook Color 1.3 using Manualnooter 4.6.16. Look for the Manualnooter instructions in the Nook Color Android Development section. Since the Nook Color had never been rooted, I just burned a CWM image to an SD card and installed Manualnooter 4.6.16 per the instructions. I ran the Fix Permissions from ROM Manager as suggested. I did have some issues with the New Market not showing all the apps that will run on the Nook Color but there are suggested fixes shown in other posts.
It would be great is someone would post some information (directions) specific to rooting a stock 1.3 with a Manualnooter file with a fully working market but I have not see that.

The manual nooter instructions are pretty much as good as it gets. The market not fully working is more a function of the market than it is rooting the nook.

The "Shopping" feature is working on her rooted 1.3 so I People Magazine should download just fine.
By the way, the repair to the Android Market for me involved the process where you force close the Market and clear cache, then force close Google Framework Services and clear data, then reboot. There are other tablets besides the Nook for which this process works. As a side note, the LCD density change and Market rollback did not work for me as it has for some of the CM7 users.
Let me know how things work out as I have a rooted 1.1 (B&N Updates are blocked) that I would like to get back to a stock 1.3 and then root. On my rooted 1.1 the "Shopping" feature is broken.
I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I followed the instructions on here for the manual nooter for the 1.3 update. I followed them " TO THE LETTER" ! and after a few min...and some nail biting (LOL) everything rebooted just fine! Now, it did say that my install had failed before it rebooted and I was still connected to my laptop.
At that point, I decided to just cut my losses, wipe and return to stock. but then it rebooted again, and this time I had the market and I could open my People magazine!!
So far I haven't had to do any "fixing" on it!
Hikersc.... I do recommend it!!

If FB is not showing in the Market then it is the same as mine (or my wife's). It is not a big deal as you can always sideload these type apps. Crazy Snowboard is one of my favorites and did not show on my 1.1 rooted so I had to sideload.
You need to use Soft Keys for your back button if no back button is showing (mostly B&N apps) at the bottom. Once you run soft keys, the little soft key icon will bring up a "soft key menu" that will home, menu, back, etc. Give it a shot and see if that works for you.

You won't believe what happened! I had been reading this morning, and turned it off afterwards. When I turned it back on, it stuck at the "Nook Color" set up menu. That's the first time I have ever had a root to go bad. I've had them to "not take before" but for something to happen like that?? So I had to unroot, set it back up from the beginning, and now have side loaded the 1.3 update. If I try the root again, I will do it just as the directions are typed!! (LOL)
Everything was working fine, I just don't know what happened??
Wish I knew what to tell you folks...I just went back and shut down my nook and restarted it. It always sorta seems like it takes an uncomfortably long time at the color flashing animation, but it went through just fine. What I did initially was exactly what I documented in my other thread...

I'm not sure. (LOL) I made a bootable CWM on an SD card. Then loaded the manual nooter on it.

What may be going on is I didn't load the 4-6-16a either time, and that may be the entire problem. If something happens to it this time, I'll just leave it at the 1.3 and wait until something else comes up.

If you are going back to stock, then simply apply the B&N 1.3 update like they say on their website (put it on the nook via usb, then unplug the cable, it will apply when it goes dark).
After it's done, don't bother with 4.5.18 - just go straight to 6.16. That's what I did and it should work fine. It seems that 5.18 is only necessary if you are going from rooted 1.2 to 1.3.
See how that works for you...

This is what I did except I used 4.6.16a (I also loaded a 1.3 kernal and ran the "Fix Permissions" from ROM Manager). All is well for me except the Market does not show FB and others. I was hoping a fix for the Market was forthcoming as the various fixes used with CM7 Market did nothing for me.

Unfortunately, I didn't keep good track of what I did to root it. I know a few things:
After booting without any sdcard, I see that I have Zeam as a launcher
The soft middle button on the bottom brings up the stock Nook menu (library/shop/search/etc)
My Nook Color was purchased in Nov 2010 (before the "blue dot")
It came with 1.0. and right now it shows 1.1.0 as the software version
I can get to recovery through ROM manager but can't seem to get there with power+N.
I didn't want to overdo the explanation of my situation but I thought maybe some of the info was necessary (?) I would really appreciate someone heading me in the right direction. If it matters, my Nook Color was purchased in Nov 2010 (before the "blue dot")
I have searched to find what to do but I don't know which method to use - there are several. Also, I read somewhere that you need to deautherize the Nook but I am not sure when to do that (before unrooting/flash-to-stock/whatever or can it be done after?) Thank you.
Start with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720&highlight=restore+to+stock or do some searching. I think kb and Dizzy have links in their sigs that have it too.
Note: some of the links in those threads are dead, BUT, you can find everything you need through the links, or with a little searching. I don't have the time to dig it all up, but just trying to point you in the right direction with the links I had offhand.
Essentially, you need to create a mSD card with bootable CWR and flash a stock ROM .zip like you would with any other ROM.
Also, if you are selling it or passing it on, be sure to de-register the device with Barnes and Noble (if you've registered it), otherwise the person won't be able to register and use it.
If you go to my tips thread linked in my signature you will see how to make a CWM bootable card and links to stock roms to flash with it.
Like the earlier user said, be sure to deregister before passing it on.
Thank you to both biohazrd51 and leapinlar for helping me - I truly appreciate it.
One question: When do I deautherize?

After you have installed the new rom, it will ask you to register, do that, then go to settings, device info, and pick erase and deregister device.
