I purchased the NC last week and it came with 1.0 software. I have rooted with the 1.0 software and everything is awesome.
I have been reading feverishly on here but am a little confused. Can someone point me to the steps to go from rooted 1.0 to rooted 1.1. I am looking forward to bringing nook to BN store and use the free in store reading for an hour.
I have been searching on here and just a little confused and how to get to this next rooted software.
Thanks,
Mike
EDIT: IGNORE! I see you want 1.1. Sorry, this can be deleted by mod. This is why they don't let new posters, post links.
you can flash 1.1 right over 1.0 apparently. It didn't work well for me. If I were you, I'd go to 1.0.1 first and then to to 1.1.

From what I understand, you need to first update to 1.0.1. Then, auto-nooter. After that's done, you can apply Decadence's 1.1.0 pre-rooted update. You need to be on 1.0.1 to auto-nooter before you update to 1.1.0.
Hope that helps!
So it has to be a specific 1.1 right? I have a 1.0.1 rooted and tried to install the 1.1 from the B&N site, but nothing happened. My nook just restarted and deleted the zip file from the nook's root directory with no update taking place.
If you want 1.1 AND be rooted, then you'll need to start with a rooted NC that is on 1.0.1 or 1.0.0. Then flash 1.1 with the file provided in the thread below.

Rooting 1.1 nook color
I just got my Nookcolor (with 1.0.1) and was planning on rooting it, when a couple days ago I turned it on and it upgraded itself to 1.1. I just tried to use the instructions to root it using the SD card img (for 1.0.1), and no huge surprise that it did not seem to work.
I am assuming the procedure at this point (until someone comes out with a 1.1 .img) that I need to downgrade back to 1.0.1 before I have can root it.
Is this possible? Is there a procedure for it?
I also have seen very touchy typing on the virtual keyboard, and would like to use instructions I have seen to recal the touchscreen (but it requires root, of course). If I don't have a way to do this I might just return it to B&N.
I do like it a lot better than my eInk nook.

Yes. You have to revert back to 1.0.1 first. Lots of threads that tell you how. I'm about to turn in for the night so don't feel like searching. But go to the development forum and find the 1.0.1 recovery and then use that to revert back. PM me if you need help.

That is exactly what I did.
UPDATE: IIRC the pre-requisite is to be on 1.0.1.

1.0.1? I thought I could use this from rooted 1.0? If not, how do I get to 1.01?

See this thread for a couple different approaches
Just looking to confirm I can go from 1.0 to 1.1 . I thought I have read some posts indicating that. If anyone has done this, please let me know if I am on right track.
Thanks,

I am sorta lost also, I have read a few threads and each one says a different thing. I have a stock 1.0.0, what would be the absolute easiest of doing this, also do I need to leave the SD card in the nook? (borrowed it from my Verizon fascinate)
To go from stock 1.0.0 to 1.1:
Download 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 patch http://images.barnesandnoble.com/presources/download/nookcolor/v1.0.1/Sideload_update.zip Source: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting
To use patch, follow directions here: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/noo...igLink-_-k244266-_-j12871747k244266-_-Primary It says 1.1.0 but it's the exact same steps
You now have 1.0.1 no root.
Download Automooter 2.12.25 and follow directions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872490 THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING ON THE SD CARD
You now have 1.0.1 rooted NC.
To go from 1.0.1 to 1.1.0 go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145
There may be better ways, do everything at your own risk, hopefully it won't cause a natural disaster, etc.
Note: I only have experience going from 1.0.1 to 1.1.0. But going from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 seems trivial.
After you do all that download "ROM Manager" from the Market. Open it. First option is Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, click it if you don't have a current recovery (Can't remember if one of the above steps installs it...). ClockworkMod makes it easy to backup and restore your setup. Click on Backup Rom, it will reboot and backup the rom to the sd card. If you ever mess something up, you can recover that rom so you won't have to go through 1.0.0 to 1.1 again.
I tried updating to 1.01 per directions and nothing happened. I then tried to install zip through clockwork recovery and it started but said installation aborted.
I am having a tough time upgrading from 1.0 root to 1.01 root. I have followed directions and struggling. The update zip say's installation aborted when tried thorough rom manager sd card. Nothing happened when I transferred to nook drive via usb cable. I am at a complete loss now.
Are you sure the NC is 1.0.0? Look under Settings > Device Info > About Your NookColor
The file is exactly named as above? Not Sideload_update-1.zip? It's in the root (not in any subfolder) of the NC, not on the sd card?
Try rebooting, then poking around the menus to see if it updates. Reboot as in hold power button down till it says "Do you want to turn your device off?", hit yes, it's off, then turn back on.
I bought a nook color yesterday so I could get in on the rooting and roming fun as well. It came with 1.0, which I've already rooted and am now running HC from an SD card. A bit slow, so I'm planning on trying to install it internally. 2 Questions:
1. Is their any reason I should stay at 1.0? Or should I upgrade to 1.01 or 1.1? Will I be able to go back to 1.0 if I want using the 8 reboot method?
2. If I install HC to the internal memory, will I be able to restore to stock? I'm not sure I'm going to keep this device yet so I don't want to do something that will make it impossible to return to stock.
Thanks
1: No, there is no benefit to staying at 1.0.0. If you want to stick with stock eclair then upgrade to 1.1.0, the update fixed some WiFi issues. To revert back to an older "save" install clockwork mod via rom manager and make a backup. That backup can be reflashed whenever from whatever.
2:I don't know what you're confusing GB for but so far only Eclair/Froyo/HoneyComb currently run on the nook color. Yes you can revert back to any older CWM backup from any install on your eMMC. There are stock flashable images in the dev forum, so don't worry about not being able to go back to stock.
Good luck. Have fun.

sorry, typo, i meant HC not GB. who can keep them straight these days? thanks for your answers. i've read reports of people having various problems with 1.1.0, it seems the consensus is 1.01 is the version to be on.

I think the problems you're talking about stem from upgrading an already rooted 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 with clockwork mod installed. If you start with a fresh(no root/CWM) 1.0.0 install then upgrade to 1.1.0 via b&n, then root it; you're in the clear.
But why bother with all of that when nookie Froyo 6.8 on eMMC is stable and performing beautifully.

1. none that I could ever see... must've fixed something to warrant two updates although I believe that both were mostly for WiFi but I never had problems with 1.0 or 1.01...
...now I'm just wondering where the new B&N updates are as IIRC they had TWO slated for February and it's getting to be kind of late in the month to push out two updates... might just as well do one big one now... hope that they're skipping Android 2.2 and going straight to 2.3 or 3.0...

Well the only reason I bought a Nook Color was to play with Honeycomb, dont have much interest in running Froyo, I can do that on my EVO already
One reason to stay with one of the stock ROMs is if you want to use the B&N reader and B&N kids functionality, which are not part of the froyo or HC ROMs. I personally use it a lot and hope they'll get ported over.

Im sure thats important to many people, although I strictly bought this to play with Honeycomb. Now that I've got it running, I'm wondering what I'll actually use this device for? I can already do all this stuff on my EVO and the screen size isn't that much bigger. It sure had been fun messing with it though! Why B&N didnt enable some of this functionality out of the box I'll never understand!
Hello,
I got an NC recently from a friend who had already rooted and installed CM7 nightly version.
I want to remove all data and application and install a fresh CM7 stable version. I would like to know how I should go about achieving that. I've read a little about updating to new version and flashing back to clean stock ROM. should I flash back to stock ROM and re-root the device and install CM7 stable version or update? and if so which method should I use?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I would just follow this link and install fresh. This ROM seems very stable and darned fast for me that is!

I've been doing nothing but updates since nightly 30 and my nook runs great.
If you want to do a fresh install, just boot into CWR and wipe the /system /data and /cache partitions before installing CM7.
It's not necessary to return to stock unless you mangled your boot partition somehow (or wiped it by accident like I did lol).
After having used cm7 why in the world would you want to use stock?? Unless of course you wanted to return the nc for some reason, then yeah you need to go back to stock.
I've had several tablets and for the money you can't beat the nc, especially running cm7. If I had unlimited funds I'm sure I could find something better, but really I'm rather in love with this device even compared to tablets cosing twice as much.

My wife has a stock Color Nook with the 1.3 update that has never been rooted. I have a 1.1 Autonootered Nook that works great and my wife wants something similar. I have read the Manualnooter instructions that have been updated for 1.3 but they are a little confusing as they are intermingled with the 1.2 instructions.
The instructions appear straight forward but I have one specific sequence question. Once the 4.5.18 zip is installed, do I immediately install the 4.6.16 zip or do I try to boot without CWM after the 4.5.18 install first?
It would be great if someone could post some instructions specific to a stock, never rooted 1.3. It would be even better if there was a Manualnooter version that could go from stock 1.3 to rooted without multiple installs.
Thanks to all the developers and others...great forum!
I agree with what you have said and from what i read youll have to run the first then boot up and then run the second and boot full up..here is what it quoted which you would thing it would be just loading the first update then the second immediatly afterwards but thats not what it reads here in the MN post:
1.3 Must do these instructions first with 4.5.18 then with 4.6.16.

You need to boot in between applying MN 5.18 and 6.16. In actuality, if you are going straight from stock, you probably can just use MN 4-6-16, but I've not tried that myself.

I was wondering if anyone had tried directly loading 4.6.16 or 4.6.16a from a never rooted, stock 1.3? It would be great if it worked. Seems that I read that 4.6.16 might have some kernal incompatibility with 1.3. Any thoughts or experience would be appreciated.

I think someone reported that going from a fresh install (not rooted) with 6.16 directly worked. The whole thing is a little squirrely - there should be no reason to have to install 5.18 first, for that matter.
There isn't really a kernel incompatibility either, it's just a bit of a 'rollback' if you will. No one's done an updated 1.3 kernel except for Dalingrin, so I just dropped his OC kernel on immediately after applying 6.16 (without restarting in between).

After applying 4.6.16, boot with a SD card in the slot. It was reported earlier that this may make a difference.
Let me propose this sequence for the never rooted, 1.3 Nook Color:
1. Burn CWM image to SD card
2. Boot to CWM and run a backup of stock 1.3
3. Install 4.6.16a
4. Install 1.3 OC kernal
5. Boot - does SD card need to be installed?
6. Log into Market, etc.
7. Fix permissions in ROM Manager
Does that sound about right? If this does not work, I assume that I can restore the backup that was made in step 2.

In step 1, make sure you have the latest CWM - especially if you have a blue dot unit with the 1gb partition.
I don't know the implications of skipping MN4.5.18.
Are my Amazon Market annd Android Market apps retained when I sideload the 1.3 update? Do I need to reinstall all the apps and restore the settings? Thanks.
So I rooted, using one click method, backed up stock .886 and installed blurry 2.0, based on .893. I know now that the kernal and radios are changed from .886. Does this render my stock back up of .886 useless? Also, what if the OTA update coming in November is actually different than .893, will I be able to update to what ever that may be?

I would take an educated guess and say yes your 886 backups are trash, but don't take my word on that.
If you made those backups through ROM Manager, you're in luck.

Im loving blurry just fine and see no reason to go back, but I just hope I didnt cut off my nose to spite my face in regards to future updates.
So I did a data reset in bootstrap, and reinstalled my stock .886 back up, and it installed fine. Rebooted and everything worked as it should.

If you just install 2.0 over stock, you do not get the .893 radio or kernal. You only get the system. To get the radio and kernal you need to to go back to stock, do the permanent root method, install the cheesecake app, then update to .893 through cheesecake, and then flash 2.0. If at that point you flash .886 again, you would have the .893 radio and kernal, and the .886 system. Because the bootloader is locked, you cannot flash a new kernal or radio via cwm.
Sooooo by flashing blurr3y 2.0 in cwm I never got .893 radio/kernel?

Thanks for putting that guide up Tivo. I figure when the next update comes out, you might have to be back with the .886 and I was wondering whether there was a way to downgrade the radio and kernal to stock after going to .893.

The next update IS 893, I've already gotten confirmation of that.
Rootable?
Tivo, will the new bionics being shipped with .893 be rootable? Will they need to be rolled back per the method you detailed here ?

It will revert you back to system 886, but your kernel/radio will stay with whatever update you installed. I currently have a hybrid going on. 5.5.893 system and 5.6.893 kernel.
