Hi guys, i really need some help here. I bought my NC at the beginning of this month and I'm pretty sure the version is 1.1.0
I wanted to restore my rooted NC back to stock but i accidentally restore it to 1.0.1 instead.
While running on 1.0.1
1) My device can't be registered. I think since I've restore it to 1.0.1, they won't allow me to register my device.
2) I've done the skip out of box experience and tried to do an update to 1.1.0 using the sideload update file (by connecting it to my pc and transferring the file directly)but nothing seem to work.
Can someone please help me?
Does anyone has the stock 1.1.0 file in full which I can try to load it in through clockwerk ?
Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat. I tried to make a bootable sd card with froyo on it, and I ended up corrupting my Nook's system somehow. I followed the process to restore my nook to stock, but it went back to 1.0.1. Previously, I had updated to 1.1.0.
Now I would like to go back to 1.1.0 and use Autonooter 3.0 to reinstall eclair. But I wasn't able to sideload the 1.1.0 firmware.
Anybody have any tips? Thanks.
i've managed to reset it 1.2.0 instead. What i did was to skip out of the box effect in order to skip the need to register. I connected my NC to a pc and transfer the 1.2.0 update manually. After this ejecting, after a few mins it will start to auto update.

I had successfully manual nootered my NC with Manual Nooter 4.6.16 and was happily using the NC for a month.
Then suddenly the root is gone and I am back to the factory 1.01...
Any ideas on what might have caused that? I don't think anyone forced the factory restore by holding certain buttons down. I also don't think that the battery was fully drained because I had been keeping it charged.
How can I see if any part of my old configuration still exists (apps downloaded, screen layout, etc)? Is it possible that everything from the rooted configuration is still there but something got corrupted and it rebooted into factory 1.01?
Any suggestions for preventing this from happening again?
BTW I used the appropriate version of CMR to do the manual nooter and still have that SD card so rerooting is not an issue. Just trying to figure out what happened...
FWIW since magically going back to 1.01 I haven't been prompted by B&N to auto update to 1.2 ...
Thanks in advance for any advice or ideas...

I don't know what cause but gotta be something.
AFAIK, never heard of this case once before.
Back in the good old days --Feb or Mar -- I accidently hit Share Books on the BN menu and it did a factory reset ....back to no root.
Hi,
maybe you can help me.
I have a working nook, but I'm stuck with the 1.0.0 firmware. I can't update it or restore it, each time the flashing procedure fails.
Here's a summary of the situation and what I already tried :
- When I got my nook, I made a backup that seemed to be OK (the size was good) before rooting it.
- Problem, it didn't update automatically, so I downloaded the update form B&N site to update it manually. But it didn't work, it reached the flash screen, but the update failed (I found a log file somewhere on the nook, it seems to be a signature problem)
- I restored from my backup, but same thing, the update fails.
- I deregistered, and tried again, no change.
- I tried to trigger the factory restore (via 8 failed boots and via ros87 image) but idem, the restoration fails.
- I even tried to use clockworkmod to flash either the update (not possible) or the restoration zip found somewhere on the nook (I got stuck on a boot loop after that, had to restore my backup).
I'm starting to think that my initial backup was not as OK as I thought (in fact, I can't remember if I correctly unmounted the nook before the backup...).
If I knew someone with another nook, I could try to make a backup from theirs to try (replacing the unique files by mine) but unfortunately it's not the case.
Do you have any new idea I haven't tried yet ?
Thanks.
Tbh, unless you feel you did something bad to your NST that prevents it from updating, you should contact B&N customer support about this.
Well, except for the root, I haven't done anything bad.
Not being in the US, I hoped for another solution, but if you think it's the best thing to do, I'll do it.
Thanks
If it's saying something about a signature, it might be possible the download became corrupted partially?
That would be too simple, that's the first thing I thought about it and tried re-downoading it several times, be it 1.0.1 or 1.1.
Well, if the Factory Restore fails as well, then this is not about signatures as there are no such thing involved in the Restore process, and beside a signature check on the update file itself I highly doubt there are any signature checks involved for the update process as well.
Like I said, I'd start with B&N Customer Support and eventually come back here if they're unable to help.
I rooted my Simple Touch (1.2.1 firmware and NookManager 0.5.0) and it all worked fine, I just messed a few things up later on while playing.
I decided to redo the rooting so I restored the backup I took before I started using NookManager, the restore has worked fine (there is the good bit I dont have a brick). Now when I go back into NookManager I select the root option and it comes back almost immediately with success but restarting the Nook just gives me the original Nook software and no Android or Relauncher.
How do I get everything back to rooted (or get access to Relauncher again) ?
Many thanks.
My N7 16GB WiFi, rooted but stock, updated successfully to 4.3 some time ago. Basically, I used Voodoo OTA to save the root, let the OTA do its work, then restored root using Voodoo OTA. It's worked flawlessly since then.
Suddenly, after weeks with no issue, it started insisting it had to install 4.3 from a downloaded file. It nags constantly, which makes it hard to use the tablet. I've got CWM as the recovery so whatever file it's trying to install won't work from there. The only way I can find to go back to stock recovery involves wiping the tablet. I don't want to do that, unless there's no other alternative.
I looked for the update.zip file in the location that the tablet insists its stored at (root of SD card), but there's no file there by that name that I can find. It only shows up if I allow the nag screen to try and install it. Of course, CWM says that it can't verify the file and aborts the install. Which puts me right back at the ever-present nag screen.
Just to be clear, I am already running 4.3. This whole situation came up months after I'd upgraded. Is there anything I can do to stop the upgrade notices, short of running a factory reset and having to set up the tablet again from scratch?
May have found an answer. Used Wug's toolkit to force-restore the standard recovery. Had to do some old ADB driver removal for a bunch of other Android devices first. Appears to have deleted the unnecessary update file as part of the process. Will keep an eye on it going forwards, but think it's good.
Nope -- didn't work. Had to do a full factory reset/restore to out-of-the-box condition to get it to stop constantly trying to re-upgrade to 4.3. Annoying.
Hi guys,
Searched quite a bit and cannot find how to update this. Running CyanogenMod version 11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird (Android 4.4.2). Rooted long ago and haven't updated anything on the tablet in forever because it was just how I liked it. I could boot into the standard Nook OS and view the Nook eShop (or whatever they call it now), or I could boot into Cyanogen Mod and run standard Android apps.
However now because they updated the Nook OS to include TLS 1.2 some many months ago (Transport Layer Security 1.2) I cannot load any of the Nook shop stuff without this update. When I try to update it within the Nook OS it tells me there's an update, proceeds to download it, tells me it will restart and apply the update, but then it never updates and just comes back into the Nook OS as if it just dropped the update. I used AFN to dual boot from the SD card - wondering if there's something in this setup that freezes out updates from happening.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get the TLS 1.2 update to take?
Thanks for ANY help... Really appreciate it!
So, I answered my own question by taking a chance. I pulled the SD card out and just booted directly into Nook OS and let it take the update that way. Rebooted after update (no SD card inserted) and the update took. Put the SD card back in and booted into Nook OS to make sure everything was still ok - no issues. Rebooted into CyanogenMod after that and still no issues.
I'll leave this here in case someone in the future comes looking for a similar question/answer.
Just a guess, but most of the B&N devices cannot be updated if rooted. So you might need to unroot, do the update, then root again.
Umm, I'm guessing you just overlooked my follow up post/reply up there ^^^ where I said I figured it out. It did update, even with being rooted.
