[Q] NC 1.1.0 Rooted -- B&N In store features?

So a co-worker of mine has his up on this and is able to get into the free B&N in store features while I have the same setup as he does but yet cannot see these features. Id really love to be able to use the "Read for free for an hour" feature.
Any ideas on what i can check?
Thanks,

there are a couple of different ways to root on 1.1. did you both use the same method of rooting?

I really want to figure this out as well..I'm on the verge of rooting. I want to know which of the following methods will result in BN in-store features being accessible:
1. Root from 1.0.1 using either:
a. Barebones Nooter
b. Autonooter
And then upgrade via CWM recovery to the stock rooted 1.1 rom....
OR
2. Root via Autonooter 3.0.0 from stock 1.1.
The problem with method 2 is that it is supposedly resulting in a reboot loop if clockworkmod is installed. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I, the coworker, did the following and b&n in store works...
Installed factory 1.0.1.
Autonootered
Installed the prerooted 1.1.0
The OP (and I)did the following and b&n in store does not work...
Installed factory 1.0.1
Sideloaded factory 1.1 update.
Autonooter 3.0

Aha! We have some info here. I just rooted mine with Autonooter but also flashed the prenooted 1.1.0 via Clockwork. In the other thread relating to this issue, another user suggested that this allowed him to have in-store access.
The catch here is that flashing CWR with autonooter 3.0 puts the device into a bootloop with CWR. I used the CWR remover tool to get rid of that.
After work in about 2 hours or so, I'll try to stop by a local BN and see if I have the in-store features.
UPDATE: I tested this out and it worked. Looks the prerooted 1.1 is doing something right.

Or autonooter is doing something wrong.
Maybe autonooter caused all the in store access issues in the first place.
Everyone thought b&n 1.1 fixed it, but maybe since no one was autonootering 1.1 until recently, autonooter didn't have a chance to break it.
Looks like whatever autonooter does, the preroot 1.1 fixes.

Not necessarily. There is another thread in here, but I have 1.1v2 and no instore features.
-1.0
-sideloaded 1.0.1
-Nooter v2
-then autonooter
-then flashed 1.1 v2
Leko

I have v2 and no in store either.

Bought stock 1.0
updated to 1.01
autonootered
prerooted 1.1r2
cwr to 1.1 ghz rom
Went to B&N today and no in-store special access to B&N features.

Did you guys without in store features after rooting, use the in store features before rooting?
What worked for me, before updating a clean 1.0.1 to 1.1, I used the in store features, then sideloaded 1.1 then used autonooter 3.0. I tried in store features afterwards and it works for me.

I restored my NC to stock 1.0.1. Sideloaded 1.1.0. Prepped Auto-Nooter 3.0 on a microSD and then I went to a physical BN store. Had in-store features with my 1.1.0 unrooted and downloaded a book to read. Then I used my microSD with Auto-Nooter to root my 1.1.0 NC in the BN store (lol). After rooting, I had Market, Youtube, etc... but lost in-store.

My NC came with 1.0.1, I sideloaded 1.1 and rooted with Autonooter 3. Today, I finally had a chance to go to a B&N store to test the "in store" function. NC connected to store WiFi immediately and a popup message told me that I could read certain books for up to 1 hour in the store and provided a link to those books. Then, "shop" interface opened showing many books and an "in store" banner at the corners of them. Under the "price" button, there was another one that said "read in store". So far, everything was fine and I was getting ready to read it... When I tapped on the read in store button, another window showed up with a progress bar, a cancel button and a continue button; however, the bar never progressed and the continue button was grayed out (the only available button was "cancel" which took me back to the store). I tried this with 8-10 books, but the results were the same. I guess it is safe to assume that I dont have the in store functions any more

[Q] Newbie Question - Root Nook with Default 1.0.1 or 1.1.0?

yeah im lost right now regarding nook, just got it yesterday, my version is 1.0.1
1) Do I upgrade to 1.1.0? And then use Auto-Nooter.
2) Or is 1.1.0 to new right now and just root 1.0.1 and then Auto-Nooter.
This is the link I'm going to follow unless someone has better suggestion/input.

Thanks

i'm actually wondering the same thing.

You can root any of the three versions. Just decision which and there are ways to do it. I'd recommended the monster root pack or autonooter. Both work well.
Sent from my nootered Nook Color.

So I guess my question is which is more stable/functional.
Do I just root at firmware 1.0.1? Is that the best option.
Or is there any advantage of upgrading to 1.1.0 and then rooting?

I am a newb too, I just downloaded the Auto-nooter-3.0.0.zip found elsewhere on this site. It roots 1.1.0 and I have to say it was as easy as anyone could ask for. I'd recommend just go ahead and update to 1.1.0 and then use this to auto-nooter your nook. Works like a charm. I should add that in previous versions ai have had issues getting set up with gmail and youtube, gmail worked but youtube always got borked for some reason... on this one, both are working fine, I have downloaded 2 apps already.

Which site did you use to download and follow instructions? can you post the link
thanks

Thanks for the help, so I got the process done at 1.1.0
My questions are:
1. When I install apps on the Market, I can open the app through the Download folder, but how do I get the icon on the Extras section?
2. What is the best method to configure the Soft Keys, any recommendations.
Thanks

Unfortunately I'm still too new to this site to post links, but if you go poke around in the nook color portal on nookdevs.com there are some great tips/instructions for configuring the softkeys software. I will say that I've found using a stand alone launcher (I use ADW EX) with softkeys is a great experience, and probably the most functional/useful.

Just restart system and all installed apps will show up in Extras... Have to do it everytime you install new apps

Nc unrooted by itself.

Can anyone help? Here's what happened. I rooted my nc then I was playing with for a while. Then I clicked on one off my files that I installed myself, clicked on it and my nc restarted. When it turned back on it had the nc boot screen instead of the customized boot up screen. When I tried setting it up again and signing on to my gmail account it was working. So I had to unroot the whole thing. Now everything works. But can someone explain why it restarted and kind of unrooted by itself? Thank ill really appreciate it.

Perhaps a Software Update reset your NC.

What file did you run? Also, what firmware version is your Nook currently running vs what version was it running before?

My firmware version is 1.0.1 right now. It hasn't changed. I used autorooter 2.12.25.

I actually just had the same thing happen to me with mine. It's a 1.1 from the box. All I was doing was changing some wall papers, then re-booted to try and install a different keyboard but didn't get there before seeing there was an "authentication problem" and needed to reset. I noticed some quirks after I was playing in rom manager and tried to reboot into recovery from there...whoops. I flashed nookie froyo and didn't like it, and I think reverting back gave me some issues. I've unrooted and re-rooted as of last night. I think I may just exchange it while I have the option. I used the 1.1 image posted somewhere here to un-root and used auto nooter 3.0 to root.

This just happened to me. I think it had to do with verifying my books, making sure they are legal copy's or something. or maybe updating one of my subscriptions. (Don't know)
My Nook is updated with 1.1.0
I rooted with autonooter 3.0
My thinking is that I should de-register and re-root
Than access my nookbooks thru a market app.

Updating to 1.2 wipes out the root and all data on your nook. Use TB, update and then use manual root (auto-rooter for 1.2 is not released yet)

Ooh................

Restore root to NC 1.3 update

Got home today, and my NC had updated to 1.3.
Lost root. Despaired at lack of reliable info on rooting 1.3.
Took a gamble on manualnooter 4.6.16 with CWM.
It rooted 1.3, and other than re-entering my google account for market, everything is working great. SetCPU reports 800MHz (I don't have a need to OC, I use SetCPU for throttling only).
Thought I would add to the anecdotal evidence.
Device history:
Stock 1.0.1 -> upgrade to 1.1 stock
Stock 1.1 -> AutoNooter
When 1.2 came out, restored to factory then upgraded via CWM (from SD).
Stock 1.2 -> ManualNooter 4.6.16 via CWM
automatic update to 1.3 -> lost root
Stock 1.3 -> ManualNooter 4.6.16 via CWM
Added google account info back into Market. Success installing an app...
there was some time between 1.2 and 1.3 (about a month)
Still can't get ADB over USB - haven't tried ADB wireless yet.

So installing MN again to NC 1.3 made your Market working again?

Yes, the Market worked fine, but I had to re-entere my google account/password.
I don't know if it makes any difference, but before the 1.3 upgrade, my Nook was running the new Market release. I did not manually install the Market release, it updated itself.
(sorry if that doesn't read well).
