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
And there are no other files that I can see that are 777.
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
