applies to "Pre-loaded with firmware version 1.4.1, 1.4.2 or 1.4.3" or those "Currently on any firmware revision (1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.4.3, 1.5.0)"

(referenced above) states "If [your Nook] comes preloaded with 1.4.1 or greater, it is almost certainly NOT rootable."
If someone can point to me what will work with a 10023 refurb pre-loaded with 1.5, I'll take it from there! I just don't want to mess my Nook up!
Thanks again for any advice you guys can shed! |
My recomendation is that you try following

It is very probable that your nook had a lesser firm and was just updated to 1.5 before you received.
You can try restoring your nook to the original firmware following these steps :
Downgrade from 1.5 to stock firmware
Disregard this step if you are on 1.4.X firmware
This is CONFIRMED TO WORK ON MOST DEVICES THAT WERE ORIGINALLY 1.4.X
1. Remove your account attached to the device.
2. Make sure you have no possible wifi connection
* Unplug wireless router
* Remove password to wifi connections (factory reset is nice for that)
* Run far from public access points (wifi without passwords)
3. Do a Hard Reset
* Hold the power button for 12 seconds, release for 1 second and repeat 6 times
o On the 4th second the screen will flash from white to black (or just become black and then darker and darker each time)
* With a wireless connection, it would just connect to B&N and apply 1.5 again
4. Wait for your Nook to re-install it's own system again
5. Enjoy your 1.4.X nook
