Hi all. I followed the instructions over at nookdevs and removed my wifi information and reset to factory default on my Nook classic. Then I held the power button for 12 seconds and let go for 1 just like recommended (did that 6 times as per instructions).

The problem is... after I do all that, I see the touchscreen go black and show that it's installing new hardware (reverting back to an older android). Unfortunately, after it installs, I see that I am still stuck at software version 1.5.0.

Some more information:

Yes, this is a refurb item I got from buy.com
Here is my serial number with the last 4 omitted: 100435010120XXXX

Please if anyone can help me or offer some suggestions, please do? I'd rather not have to disable DHCP or mess with my router but if it comes to that I will..
