I never got the downgrade to work. I eventually get the eink "installing update" notice and the "checking for update" notice on the lcd, but the nook reboots back to 1.5.0

Hold power button for 12 sec -- let up 1 sec. Rinse & repeat 6 times. I did this from an initial "off" state and an "on" state. No dice either way.
