I have two nooks - one that had 1.0.1 and one with 1.1.0, both autonootered from that point. The 1.1.0 nook seems to have 100% functionality, not so with the 1.0.1. So, I'd like to take the 1.0.1 up to 1.1.0, but I'm wondering what the best way is? If I read the various threads correctly, going from rooted 1.0.1 straight to rooted 1.1.0 is not the same as rooting stock 1.1.0.
So - do I have that right? If I use 1.1.0 v2, will I get the same functionality as freshly rooting a stock 1.1.0? Or am I better off going back to stock on the 1.0.1, sideloading the update to 1.1.0, then rooting from there?

I have a Nook Color running the latest 1.1 stock update that I would like to root. Even if it requires downgrading, that's fine.
Is there a way to do this yet?
Today the downgrade is what you have to do. Downgrade to 1.0.1, root, apply 1.1.0 per sticky.
But,if you wait a few days someone may have updated the auto-nooter to root 1.1.0.
Another option is to run Nookie off SD card or flash and not worry about 1.1.0.
Are there instructions on how to downgrade yet?

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.

I went to root wife's NC and had problems. Could only get v1.0 back on it for rooting. I have the 1.2.zip update. Can I flash that update, or will it unroot the NC?
The Barnes&Noble 1.2 update.zip will only apply to a stock (unrooted) NC. Does not matter if it is 1.0, 1.0.1 or 1.1. So you'll first have to restore to stock, then apply the update. Obviously you loose root. To get root back see the Manual Nooter thread in the Android Development section (current version is 4.5.25, link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027)
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?
