joyous day! After running the POS NC w/WiFi on for no reason other than "hoping" that it would pull the fw update I idiotically decided to apply the sideload update which FAILED on #2!

Checking the update archive integrity on the downloaded sideload update indicates that it's peachily fine, while #2 moans that it's uberphail.

Downloading a second chance sideload on B&N Golden Pooh nominee ATM. (Close race v. comcraptic AFAICS ATM.)

[EDIT]
Commencing attempt #2...
[/EDIT]

[EDIT2]
POSSIBLY giving it the benefit of the doubt in interrupting the update on trial #1, as reboot #2 resulted in zero attempt at update... waiting and seeing... might've worked this time... maybe bad archive the first time even though it checked out OK v. CRC checks... still poor form... even my much aligned gTab pulls updates better than the NC so far...

yep working, but far from user friendly... well so far...
[/EDIT2]

[EDIT3]
Looks like it finished the "normal" android fw flash routine, and is rebooting... B&N need something better than this poorly implemented update system IMNHO... something more user friendly and controllable... something like an app that can be run by the user to check fw and initiate updating...
