Okay so I went ahead and rooted my Nook Color using Autonooter 3.0 since it was running 1.1 at the time. All was well, got everything working, downloaded awesome apps from the market, got really ecstatic and stuff.

Then I got the error B&N can't authenticate my Nook Color so it has to be reset

I was like nooo, but still had hope that it wouldn't factory reset it, just from some point after the rooting.

So it turns back on and gives me the andrioid guy to touch, I was like yesss, but then it wouldn't allow me to log into the google server, and it was like a duality between the Nook Color stock OS and the rooted Android OS.

Anyway, I decided to re-root, doing it at the moment, but was wondering if there is a way to prevent the authentication pop up? obviously that screws with the nice root I had going. Is it something I downloaded or did wrong?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
