I got a nook 3G with the blackfriday 86dollar deal way back when. It starts with a serial 1001 and came with a 1.5 factory setting. I have tried a hard reset and it is still at 1.5 I really would love to root it and get a new OS going as I really dislike the shelving system. Anyone able to help/recommend on what I can do. I am fairly certain I am doing the hard reset correct (it seems rather obvious, I have tried it twice, first or 12 seconds total and second for 15 seconds past the last black blink).

thanks
The previous poster was correct. Since your nook came with v1.5, you just keep resetting to it. You need to download the 1.0 version and install it.

It's been a while since I've done it but I found all the instructions at the nookdev site.
