I have been out of the loop with school for the past two weeks, and do not know where to start now. I love the rooted nook and do not think I want the OTA update, so wireless has been off for a day.
What should I do now, to either prevent an OTA update or otherwise install something ?
I do not know if I can push commands to it, I did not have to do that with the Autonooter. Can someone post the Dummies for Rooted Nook on what the next plan of action should be for someone in my case?

Just go to the development. Forum and download he CWR 1.1 update.zip and apply it. Then flash an overclock kernel and life will be great!

I recently just got a NC and all I have done is auto-nooter 2.12.25. I want to install one of the newer (faster) kernels/froyo etc but I'm still not sure how to go about it. Have any link to help explain it better?
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.

Thanks to all. I will give this a try and report back.
Can I do this process with 2 gb micro sd

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,
Mike
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.
Hi wonderful people of XDA!
I just got my Nook Color used on craigslist and now I'm just wondering what to do next. I did a lot of reading up on these forums (and the android development part of the forums) and found out that I could root it with autonooter 3.0 and monster rootpack.
However, is there a benefit of keeping the firmware at 1.0.1 (the way I got it) and rooting it VS updating it to 1.1.0 and rooting it?
What are the pros and cons if any? I see that 1.1 adds a bit of new features to the NC, but I also heard that Clockworkmod Recovery doesn't like 1.1, or something. I remember briefly reading that somewhere on these forums but it could have been old news, or outdated and recently fixed. Regardless, I'm just sort of confused.
And after rooting, what should I do? Is Froyo completely stable and smooth yet?
TIA!
The 1.0.1 version has more support right now but the 1.1.0 support will certainly improve over time. For now i would recommend running nookie froyo off of a bootable sd card and leaving your nook stock. Then if you want to take the next step, do an emmc flash of froyo and never look back...
With that said, the 1.1 version rooted with the scripts on it works really smoothly.
The best thing about the nook color is how easily it can be put back completely stock, so you don't have to worry much about messing it up.
Enjoy
Nice. Thanks for the quick reply!
So I'll update to the 1.1.0 firmware and root. Do you recommend autonooter or monster rootpack? And what scripts are you talking about?
TIA, once again, haha...
I think the autonooter is easier for your first mod. The monster rootpack is a great recovery tool and highly recommended to have on an extra sd card.
Get a few 2-4gb sd cards, class 4 is fine. Should be pretty cheap and easy to find. Then you can make a bunch of bootable cards to play with like honeycomb and froyo.
Alright cool,
autonooter it is. Will I still be able to get CWMRecovery? I still want to overclock and the only way I know how to flash is through cwmrecovery.
Sorry for all these questions!
I've read some folks are having issues getting stuck in CWM on 1.1 but don't remember why. Poke around in the devl threads and see.

I hear the best is to:
run oobe.
turn off wifi
update to 1.0.1 if not already on it (NOT 1.1)
run autonooter 2.3.x
install CWM (or does autonooter do that?)
nandroid restore stock rooted 1.1
then you have working CWM and 1.1 if i am not mistaken? This is my plan, mine is in the box, waiting to open it on my bday!

No, Autonooter does not install CWM. You need to download ROM Manager from Market and install CWM from within ROM Manager. Good luck and happy birthday!
Hey everyone-
This is my first post here but I've frequented for awhile. I'm currently using a rooted nc 1.0.1 with the latest cwm version. I've decided to bite the bullet and put ginger on since all of the awesome bluetooth business, but I have a simple question- I am definitely down with learning all this sd card reformatting business for cm7, but if I'm looking to install phiremod straight from rooted 1.0.1, can I simply flash the zip after backing up? Do I need to prepare anything?
Bwahaha question answered. Currently booting that sheit.
I rooted my gf's nook last year. It's been running rooted 1.1.0. Now, she could care less about root, but she just wants to retain her 50+ magazines and books. Can I just manually download the .zip from B&N, stick it on the root, and let it update? Also, is this a full install? Or, just an update where I'd have to update 1.2.0 then 1.3.0 first?
Sorry about all the questions. I've been out of the loop for a very long time and don't want to lose her data. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Edit: I've been reading up on this and many suggest doing a full restore to stock and going from there. If at all possible, I would like to avoid that in an effort to retain all data. I did find an article where a guy claimed to rename the clockwork recovery image and put the official 1.2 recovery image in it's place so an auto-update can run successfully. Otherwise, it sounds like clockwork "gets on the way" and won't allow an update to run entirely. Can anyone confirm this?
