Hey guys,
I got a hand-me-down Nook just yesterday, and I already love it!

I found the NookDevs site and set out to complete the Softroot, but I'm stuck at installing the 2.5.1 Softroot/ROM. I apologize if this has already been covered, or I'm overlooking something painfully obvious. Anyway, here is where I am so far:

The Nook has a serial number starting with 1001 (one of the original models). When I got the Nook it was running the 1.5 Official software. I followed NookDev's tutorial to the letter, and now the device is running 1.0.0 as it should be.

The problem I'm having is updating to the NookDev.com's 2.5.1 Softroot/ROM. I have the file on my MicroSD 4GB SDHC Card, the card is installed and working, and the file has been renamed to "bravo_update.dat".

I'll follow the process of turning off the Nook, turning it back on while holding the right-hand < button, and the updating app will start, but as soon as the touch screen starts looking for updates, the device just reboots, without completing the update.

If you can offer any help, it will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
