[Q] Registration Error : Sorry we're having trouble setting up...

Hi all,
i just bought a Nook color from a Ebay Guy.
He told me he rooted the nook color, and use a reset factory before sell me the nook. and now the product is new.
I Power On the nook color, choice my wifi connection = > OK
But i can't register ... and use the nook color :'(
i write my informations :
name/firstname, email and password, and i have a message :
"sorry we re having trouble setting up your nook color. Please shutdown the device and try again."
After reading some posts, i think that this guy registered his account, and now it will be impossible for me to use the Nook color ?
I don t know his NC mail/password ...
If someone can help me, thx by advance.

I saw that when I was typing the wrong account password. After you fail to login a few a times it just defaults to that even you it is a separate attempt to register.
Try going into /setting/device info/erase and deregister the device. or poweron while holping volume and home button at the same time.
If that does not work you can try doing a full reset. That's where you boot the device and a few seconds after the N logo appears you hold the power button to power it off and then reboot it. Do that 8 times and then during the boot process it will reflash the device.
Then do the deregister or power+vol up+home.

I too have this "sorry we're having trouble setting up your nookcolor. please shutdown and try again" message
I just bought this nook it was sealed and I got this message after first boot I have tried the 8x reboot trick, and the 3 finger salute to reset it but every time i try it fails to register
Help?
EDIT: When I say it fails to register...it doesnt even give me a chance to input my bn account info...

Bump. Has anyone heard of anyone else having this registration issue at all? Not a major deal for me as I have all my books backed up on my computer and I think I can just load them on the SD card and read them, but I won't be able to buy any from BN using the nc...

There is a method of getting around the screen that works its on the nookdev site:
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Factory_Mode/Skip_Out_of_Box_Experiance
When "tapping" the power button i did a little more of a 1 second press for it to work for me. also wait a second before hitting the corners. then you get to the normal screen.
Hope this helps

Turned out an error on my part.
Had skipped the all important boot with the "n" key and "Power"
Consider it step 2 of the reset "8 failed boot attempts"

Thank you very much for this. I got the same error and was wondering if it is possible to skip it. It took me about 10 tries to get the right timing but I was able to skip OOBE. I don't plan to use BN service anyway.

I am having the same issue on my backup nook. It was registered once. I auto-nootered it. Then wiped it because of crashing problems. I did 8 failed boots wipe, then the "N" + Power wipe. Now it will not register. I used the bypass OOBE steps and can use the Nook now, but I need to register it. Could there be a hardware issue? I called B&N last night. They placed a ticket, but had no other solutions.
Edit: Issue resolved. I called B&N support again and informed them that I already had a ticket and tried both of the reset steps. They informed me that I had a failed deregistration attempt of the Nook. They manually deregistered the device and I was able to login.
Anyone want to sticky this?

Registration Issue
I had the exact issue described here yesterday and had to call B&N for help. I made the mistake of creating a SECOND B&N account from my NOOKcolor afer reimaging with autonooter. B&N does not allow you to have two email addresses/accounts registerd to one NOOK inorder to protect the content I would have downloaded with my first account. Once a conflict is detected, they remotley wipe and reset your device. F*cked up right?? I dont remember reading this warning in the instructions.. but in all fairness, I never did read them entirly.. The devise was wiped as soon as i opened the SHOP.
The B&N tech suppport rep was very helpful. Thanks to this article I was sure this was the issue. They loacated the second account/email address I registerd my nook to via serial number and deleted that account for me. The registration process still would not work so he had to register the device on their end. After, I used my original account/email info to complete the registration process successfully. He also could not confirm my waranty or somehting along those lines. I was concerned that he can see something posted to my account that voided my nook warantay because it was rooted. He said that I would be getting "updated" and because i purchased my device 14 days earlier, he extened my warantay for a year from today!! I imediatly noticed something was different. The wirless utility was now defaulting to "SHOW PASSWORD" when configuring WiFi and the text was noticeably different. Concerned but satisfied, I burned a new image with autonooter and proceeded to root. The Nook would not boot past the N logo screen. I tried several times but it would not boot and root. I wiped the devise to factory defaults once more and loaded autonooter with success. Everything seems to be back to normal and device if functioning flawlessly.
I hope this helps anyone who thought B&N just F'd them

I also bought the NookColor as a gift off eBay. The seller said it was "new," but that someone in his family may have used it briefly before they did a factory reset.
I took this at face value, but I didn't realize that B&N links each Nook to a secure account and that link is not affected by wiping the device whatsoever.
So, we got the "Sorry we're having trouble" error and no amount of fiddling on our end helped.
Finally, on my second call to technical support, I was told that my device (which they located in their system by serial number) was paired to someone not me. Therefore, that person would have to call them and authorize them to have their name unpaired from the Nook. They would under no circumstances proceed any further with just me.
Apparently, they wanted the name of the previous account holder / owner, the date of purchase and a credit card number associated with the account. Hopefully, I can get in contact with the eBay seller and he is willing and able to jump through these hoops. Otherwise, I may have just purchased a pretty expensive paper weight.

That would be so effed up if the seller doesnt help. Hopefully they will do what is right. But if you do end up with an expensive paperweight. Just flash CM7 to your nook and you will still have a fully functional tablet. Yes you loose the stock b&n experience. But you get so much more out of CM7 anyways.
Good luck!

Thanks Racks.
UPDATE: As of today, issue solved. Both the eBay seller and B&N got together and joined my B&N account to the Nook rather than the one that was already paired.
Joy!

My nook just says register then I received an error sorry we're having trouble setting up your nook please shut down the device and try again please I need help . Terri

Possible Kin 2 update being pushed!

So I was in Verizon today because of software issues. I still have the same phone but all they could say is pull the battery every night. So the lady tells me, my software is behind. I'm like "what, how?" She says "Its a known issue and an update has been pushed for the phone. Depending on when you got the phone, the new software will be pushed through." Apparently, thousands of people have gotten this "Update" I will call this week and see what the deal is.

Update like version 1.02?

not to sure..it was some lady which means she probably has no clue what the hell she's talking about so just sit and wait for a text from verizon wireless or the "Uploading Logs" screen. She said it will either be pushed OTA (over the air) or you will get a notice saying to bring your phone in which I think wont happen. 0lus the software has been released since April 1st so I'm guessing this is a load of bull.

Well, I had my phone turned off all day while i was out. I got back home, turned it on, and got a text from 475-6. It says BREW://----- idk what it said. Im guessing the update? not to sure. Phone info says..
Software Version: 1.0.1 (4704.0)
Radio firmware: v0.4.727
Model 119

Hmm I did abit of research about BREW. It's actually,Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless.
Brew (Brew MP) is an application development platform created by Qualcomm, originally for CDMA mobile phones.
As a software platform that can download and run small programs for playing games, sending messages, and sharing photos, the main advantage of Brew MP is that the application developers can easily port their applications among all Brew MP devices. Brew MP acts between the application and the wireless device on-chip operating system in order to allow programmers to develop applications without needing to code for system interface or understand wireless applications.

Hmm... Hack via brew?

My phone software is the same as yours (1.0.1, etc...). I haven't received a text like that though. Did you follow the link in the text? I would be nervous clicking it unless I knew it was really from Verizon.

It's not a link at all. It usually says
"BREW:06:07---YADA YADA YADA."
(Just making up numbers but you get the point.)
Actually you cannot "hack" using brew. The brew message is sent over a wireless network. Unless you want to hack the network, go right on ahead
I think these messages are for the "Developmental" process of the phone since it originally had the "KIN" software. Not this "M" Bullsh*t
I'll do some research. I have time freeing up on me now since I'm getting school work done quicker. I will try to develop some sort of application to "Pull out" the information we need. If this is to techy for you, just put it this way. "I'll try to hack the phone" I've had a lot of success in hacking phone WITHOUT turning to the source of the internet/Bitpim. Technology is one of the things I know most about. I'm 15 and all I do is look for ways to hack. So far successful. As for this KIN 2m, not so much. So I turned to this forum so I could get some tips for stuff that i might not have done yet. Well, for today, I have nothing.

As a matter of fact, i found it opposite to techy, better said "abstract". Can you explain in detail the Pull out attempt process?
I just wanna know, can handle tech terms.

Okay..well heres how it goes. We have to somehow get the kin into a "hidden" software writing screen(you should know what i mean) EVERY phone has one of these...AKA...enV touch..you hold clear..power..vol up and down and that brings the phone to a downloading screen and waits to be plugged into the drivers on the computer. But the kin is different...there arent any drivers as of right now.

Kin has that mode, indeed. It was labeled as "Download mode" both in QPST, Bitpim and several other tools.
Unfortunately, being switched ON by software (i guess that's the only way, or the only one available atm) made my phone reboot after a little while (maybe 1-2 mins), so it could be protected by the phone manufacturer. Also, no special effect was shown on screen, like you can see on other phones examples (with SERIAL and USB labels with a colours background).
On the other hand, QPST and other tools could get a backup of the NVitems on memory, and not the memory itself (they fail to). Messing with this made my last attempt a brick, so... not happy about them.

Hmm... MY Kin Came with 1.01

1.01 is the latest version.

UPDATE on ACER Registration and UDPATES

Just wanted to bring this to your attention...
Aparently, there are three ways to register your product through ACER at this time. Three separate databases. Three separate departments. NONE LINKED TO EACH OTHER!!!...
What am I trying to say? Here it is...
I spoke with a representative from ACER today at this number:
1-800-571-2237​I advised that I had yet to receive my update and would like to know where it is... I was transferred to a level 2 hardware/software person who advised me that ACER has THREE databases right now and that if you want your update it is best that you contact them directly to register your device and get the update pushed out soon.
He was not able to push the update to my device but did state that neither the Tablet ACER REGISTRATION nor the Online REGISTRATION i did for the tablet showed up in his database...
I am sharing this with you because, well, if you are still waiting for your update, make sure you call them and get yourself registered. ACER is working on getting these databases consolidated into one but until then... Dont risk not being in the correct database... jejeje
PS. Once I got off the phone I was given an oportunity to take a survey for the A500 directly... needless to say, great oportunity to express your sentiments over the locked bootloader... jejeje

i never registered my device and i got the update right when it came out.

I went and bought a second ICONIA to make sure that it was not my system files that were corrupt... I have registered it and still... no update... at least, not a legitimate update, cus I know I can push the updated file system to the tablet but... I WANT OTA!!! jejeje...

I used the update.zip linked from this forum to update my device. I lost all wifi after updating. I had to root and fix it.
Maybe there are some very minor hardware differences that are holding back some specific upgrade rollouts.

Multiple SNID numbers
After bricking my tablet, I went through the Chinese update and then the US conversion. My SNID on the original registration and what currently shows on the Acer registration page on the tablet is different than what is shown in the settings->about tablet->device information.
Anybody else have a similar experience, or know if this can or should be changed?

Is ur serial different too? I think this # is hardware linked and not software... should be thesame # as what the box has... I will look through mine. I returned the 'extra' tablet i had after my tests so there is no way 2 go back nd see what happened there... I have noticed that the flexrom changes someinfo there...

[Q] Nook Simple Touch outside the US, 1.1, and more questions...

Hi.
The Nook Simple Touch is the only e-reader that matches my requirements - good to hold, e-ink, touch screen AND hardware page turn buttons, NOT an Amazon device. Thought I'd mention that BEFORE someone recommends the Kindle, or Kobo, or whatever!
Having said that I live in the UK. My friend who is on business in the US just now is supposed to bring one back but has just messaged me to say that his father's device (bought last month) has been locked by B&N as it is for "US users only". I believe he simply activated the device by creating a B&N account and registering it back in the UK. I had suggested, before hearing about this locking, that he turn mine on over there and register it on a US IP address and then turn off wifi - I would use Calibre PC Sync only so B&N would never "see" the device connect to themselves again.
Several questions -
1. Would my approach work? i.e. Register it in the US, turn off wifi.
2. Is it possible to kick my friend's dad's device back into action somehow? Preferably without rooting.
3. Is it possible that my friend's dad's device was locked by 1.1, assuming he had wifi on and the update was pushed?
4. Would there be a way to get 1.1 and not be locked?
Basically, we'd both like 1.1 (for the benefits it brings) but not fussed about rooting.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Well first off I'm a newbie for this forum therefore I may not be fully equipped for your question.
Then again I'm using the NST for some time (3 months), I'm not in US (Turkey), the device was never been logged in US (as far as I know).
I've never experienced any locks or malfunctions since. The only thing I can't do is purchase a book. But then I never tried I'm sure I can find a way.
I'm using it's wi-fi browser, since it is rooted in it's first week I'm using dropbox to manage my ebooks.
PS. I have a B&N account for a valid but unreal posting address.

I'm outside of the US, using a nook very nicely (IMHO better then the kindle or Kobo)
I've updated to 1.1 without a hitch and everything is running smoothly. As for registration, you can try this (wish i new about it when i activated mine)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15618850&postcount=8
otherwise, what i did, I just filled in phoney information to get past the registration. My device is never on wifi (battery drain) and i sideload any updates. Since i use this as a dedicated e-reader, I've not bothered rooting it at all (I can't say the same for my phone)

I'm in Brazil, and I've restored and reseted my nook about three times since last week, and everytime I wiped it clean, I has to put my login, which worked fine.
To get books, I use a proxy on the computer - telling BN server that I am in US -, get the books (buy ou just get the freebies), and then connect my nook and download it, using even local server. It can be bothersome to buy on computer, but it works.

Interesting, I tried the US proxy method several times when I first got my NST, and I also have a US shipping address registered with B&N, but still my orders were cancelled.
I suspect the reason was using a non-US credit card, but then why were you able to buy eBooks?
Anyway, there's a way around it all if one absolutely must buy eBooks from B&N, just buy electronic gift cards and use them to purchase eBooks

I've entered my virtual credit card number, to try this and succesfully downloaded free books tonight.
Without spoofing or proxy...
As for buying can't tell yet.

Well, I have an international credit card, and it works like a charm.
I have a truckload of free stuff from BN, and they were all downloaded on my house's wifi.

Thanks all for the replies!
Couple more questions - isn't that bypass registration trick for the colour Nook? Or does it work for the NST too?
When you've talked about fake info in your B&N account, what details do you need there? Is it just a phoney US address, or a credit card and real address, or credit card and phoney US address? As I wouldn't be buying from the site I don't think it would matter that my credit card had the wrong address?
Cheers again for the help.

The registration trick should work for the nook, according to the thread. I've not tried it, so can't speak to it.
As for information, What i did was register online the B&N's website, placed my order for the nook to a friend of mine who lives in the USA, then when activating my nook, just entered my user/pass. I don't remember exactly how i paid for it, it was either Credit card or PayPal. That information is probably still tied to the account.
I think i'll go check when i have time and remove those references.

Hi there...
I live in italy and did exactely the same (middle september, if i'm not remember bad)...
I've just create an account, paid with debt card, shipped in USA address...then , when i received in italy, just activated with my BN account.
Until now, i've never updated via wifi because i prefer to check often on BN website and download from there... it is really a simple method and usually you can find it on support site 1 or 2 week before they release it via wifi

Had some questions about my experience with this -
1. Do you need to fake a US address? (I'm in London, UK) Do you need to enter real card details?
2. Does the OoBE Skipping technique work? (seems like Nook Color only)
3. Did you manage to update it to 1.1?
My answers, if it helps anyone...
1. See 2.
2. The Skip OOBE technique works fine. I didn't do it myself as I got my friend to try it in the US before he came home in case we needed to try something else... we figured it might help if he was in the US at the time. As it turned out that wasn't an issue as the "skipping" technique worked perfectly.
3. I backed up my Nook as per this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15115162 - before doing anything at all. I was on version 1. I backup up, then sideloaded the 1.1 update and backed up again. There were no issues so the backups weren't needed but better safe than sorry.
Notes: I don't use Wifi at all and sideload all books. I had no intention of using wifi so have no idea how skipping registration affects online use. The Factory menu "trick" doesn't seem to work in 1.1 (for me at least)... so be careful if you go to 1.1 first it might stuff things up.
Cheers for all the help here.

The factory mode does indeed work on 1.1:
1.Hold the right top button and move your finger from left to right on the top of the screen.
2.The factory button will appear at the bottom right of the screen, tap it.
3.Hold again the right top button and tap the right bottom part of the screen, where the factory button appeared
4.A button labeled skip oobe will appear, tap it, your done

^ Thanks for all the details!

Cool, does it just work from the main register/pre-register screens then? Obviously as mine is already skipped I was just trying it from the regular home screen - and it didn't work from there, for me.

It works before you register or after you deregister, on the first screen that appears, without clicking any button, don't know if I've expressed myself correctly here

Ah okay, that makes sense, cheers. I was trying it after registration had been skipped just out of curiosity, to see what else was in the Factory menu.

Just wanted to report back about my battery life so far with the Nook Simple Touch.
I received the Nook on the 3rd Dec.
From the 3rd (battery at 80%) to the 13th Dec, I've needed 2 full charges, thus a charge is averaging 5 days.
I've been thinking that the battery may be faulty (lots of posts online that some batteries cannot hold a charge). So i googled it for a while. I then came across a post on the B&N forum AND XDA, saying that if you keep your nook unregistered, the battery life will drain much quicker. I decided to put this to the test.
http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com...reader-battery-life-lousy/td-p/1071104/page/7
(cant find the XDa post atm)
I proceeded to Factory Reset the device and log in with an email address (skipping the card details) after the 2nd full charge.
It has been about 36 hours since the full charge and the battery is at 96%. (Avg 1.5 hours reading every day). From simple extrapolation (I know this wont be accurate), it should last me 37.5 days! Pretty big difference compared to the <5 days I have been getting.
Not sure if its the Unregistered part, or whether my Wifi Radio was not shut off properly before (and registering allowed me to turn on and off the Wifi properly), but so far it seems significantly better.
Will report back when the next charge is due.
PS. Not all USB cables work with the Nook! Was going mental about it, thought my eBay seller ripped me off! Use the supplied B&N cables (somehow my Samsung Galaxy S USB cable works too)

Why would a unregistered Nook Simple Touch's battery drain faster than a registed one
I live in the US and could register the NST, but it's the pricipal of the matter and I don't want to register it. I completely disagree with having to register a device when I OWN it, not Barnes and Noble.
I do not wish to root it. I do not wish to receive free books or content from B&N.
I just want my sideloaded NST to have the "2 month" battery life that B&N advertises WITHOUT registering to a B&N account.
The thing is, I have read on other forums (as well as the post directly above) that bypassing B&N registration causes the battery to drain really fast... faster than the ~2% a day WITH registration.
Currently I am experiencing the same average 20% battery loss per 24 hours with Wifi OFF and little to no use. 20% a day equals recharging every 5 days, which is far from the advertised "2 months" or 2 weeks (claims from reviewers) for that matter.
I have scoured the internet and I know others are experiencing the same battery drain with an unregistered nook, but I cannot find the reason as to why this is.
Personally, I really dont understand how bypassing registration would have anything to do with the battery...but, I am not very tech savy.
Any suggestions as to how to fix the battery drain issues on a nook that is not registered to a B&N account as well as an explanation of what is causing this issue?

I do not see the "issue"...
Registering a Nook does not mean you will receive spam from BN, 'cause you can decide to do not receive it....
I just receive newslettetr , because i want it, nothing more... If so, what to say about Kindles with advertising????
Sometime i really do not understand peoples: when you are buyng a car, you need to regiter it, but i neve ear about someone said "i'll not buy a car, because Government ask me to register it..."

The ISSUE is that it does not make any sense that the battery should drain if it is unregistered. I am COMPLETELY aware that you do not receive spam. I just do not want to receive ANYTHING from B&N. I hope the next person who posts can answer my question, not assess why I don't care to register my Nook.
My ISSUE is this:
How do I prevent battery loss if I bypass the B&N registration??

note 4 died. good battery.rooted.service did nothing since it was rooted

so, this phone died for me in 2017, and have been in a drawer since then. then i thought why not ask. so long story short if i remember correctly: bought it new. i rooted it since all the cool kids do that. then i did some update i think. and then in the winter of 2017 in beginning it just started behaving weirdly for me and then it turned off and all kinds of shenanigans. cant restart using different methods, sometimes it blinks, sometimes that bios menu comes up. blabla. so i tried to send it to the local repairshop that the seller used. but since i had it rooted they refused to fix it. so now i have a phone that costed 600 euro + 70 euro in service cost and it doesnt work. and then its been in a drawer since then.
i took it out, had it and the battery in a freezer for a while like some has said on internet didnt work.
anyway. does anyone here know any tips? if i want to flash the room can that be possible? or is this a lost cause? was this a common problem with note 4? i loved it and it crushed my heart when it stopped working. i still have a few months of pics etc on it from back then that ive never been able to get out. i attached it to the computer now and the computer makes a sound but nothing more.
any tips?

Sounds to me like either dead emmc or misconnection.
If it's just? misconnection there are tips (increasing the pressure by cardboard).
Can you access download mode?
Sometimes it shows there "dead emmc".
I somewhere read about a testing app.
Gotta search.
Where in Europe are you?
In the German Android-hilfe forum there is a member who fixes that.
Either exchanging the emmc or resoldering it.
If the chip is dead probably the data are lost.
afaik flashing the stock ROM deletes data.
It's a known problem, yes.

Excellent feedback and assessment @bmwdroid . Thank you for sharing.
I only wish to add that there is a way to flash Samsung firmware while keeping user data. Of course, this method wouldn't be effective when it comes to emmc hardware failure so Im posting it for general information purposes only.
If you have downloaded the firmware for your Samsung Galaxy device you’ll find 2 CSC binaries with *.tar.md5*extension (namely CSC and Home_CSC ) inside along with BL, AP, and CP.*CSC*and*HOME_CSC*are necessary for different purposes, and you have to choose one or the other depending on your goal.
CSC –*If you flash the CSC file, it’ll perform a*factory reset*of your Galaxy device and wipe all data while installing a new firmware to bring your device to the same*state as it was when you purchased it. Go with CSC if you want a*clean installation.
HOME_CSC*–* On the other hand, if you want to*keep your Samsung phone’s data and settings*even flashing the stock firmware, you can select the HOME_CSC file.
