Number_6 · 11-29-2010, 06:54 PM

I was able to get my non-rooted 1.5 downgraded to 1.4.3 using Naerymdan's method. However, I became stuck when it came to rooting my Nook. I thought I had the no router method down, but I could never get it to connect even though it showed up in Connectify Me. I became lost after disabling DHCP with the other method; it wasn't clear how to setup Tftp32D.

I now have a Nook with 1.4.3 that I would like to root. Any pointers on the best method to do this? My Nook was brand new with a 10038 serial number that upgraded to 1.5 if this helps anyone trying to downgrade.
