What i have read in other post is that if you update from a rooted nook, you can have the 1.5 fw update + the rooted nook fw in version 1.4.1. |

So you are saying the root carries over? I am a bit sceptical of that. My nook is on 1.4.3 anyway... I am going to wait for someone to confirm that rooting is possible on 1.5 before I go through with it.

Doesn't interest me : they don't sell it in my country nor plan to sell it.

Nope, no brick. The update failed to complete, but I was left where I was at.

Frankly, I'm kind of surprised at expectation that B&N would be interested to sell nook outside of US. 99.9% percent of their ebook business is English, probably American English, the ebooks, I'm sure, are supposed subsidize the cost of nook hardware. So why would they be interested in selling the hardware below its cost without no outlook to get it returned (and make profit) in other ways?

wifi_stop method won't work with 1.5
Just a heads up for anyone interested:
The rooting method for 1.4.1 (changing DNS to overwrite wifi_stop.sh & gain adb) won't work if you update to 1.5 - I've looked at the init.rc in the new update and they have changed the permissions in /init.rc to 555 so it can't be written. Code:
# Set WLAN Driver Status setprop wlan.driver.status ok chmod 0555 /etc/wifi_start.sh chmod 0555 /etc/wifi_stop.sh So if you're already rooted on 1.4.x you might want to stay there for a bit. Though I see from this thread some that have updated were able to keep their nookdev apps. So I wonder if we could use wifi locker to re-enable adb (at least long enough to modify /init.rc) after the update? I have one of the new 1003 nooks but I don't have a mSD card so I can't test the softroots in this thread |
