Thanks for the replies. I am now softrooted and the process went smooth except one step. I actually softrooted, went back to stock 1.4 and then softrooted again because of the problem. After I reverted back to 1.0 and the Nook rebooted on its own, I could not get it to shut off to put my sd card in. I would hold the power button down for 5 seconds like always but the screen would not go blank. The tulip and clock bar at top would stay there. If I touched the power button after doing this the device would go blank for a split second and then go through the start-up. After trying repeatedly to power down, I went back to stock 1.4, powered down no problem and added the sd card. I then reverted back to 1.0 and again could not seem to power off. With the tulip wallpaper and top status bar still on after holding power button for 5-10 seconds I treated it like it was off, held the < button hit the power button and it did the update to softroot. Anyone else had a problem like this. Very strange. Now I have to try to try to learn about ADB and averything else I can do now.
