Sorry we're having trouble setting up your Nook. Please shutdown the device and try again.
If the problem persists, contact Customer Support at 1-800-843-2665.
Anyone else faced the same problem?
Would rooting/hacking it allow me to bypass this registration with B&N? My Nook is effectively DEAD, and I want to find a way to revive it 
I am based outside the States, but this shouldn't be an issue as there are many non-US Nook users..
Please, can anybody advice!!!! |
Dont know if you still have the issue (old thread) but if you still have it (I hope not) I can help.
First, shutdown completely the NST,
Start it.
At the same moment you see the screen flicker press quickly the right and left bottom buttons and hold them for 5 (or a bit more) seconds.
Its hard to get the timing at first, but with this you force format the /data partition.
If the problem still occurs and you havent made a backup, I suggest trying this:

Which will restore /system
With this two methods you should have deleted and reverted your NST to total factory state.
I had a similar problem and I couldn't reset it with the normal method, so had to do this.
