I haven't tried it yet - left my SD reader at home ...

this was reported in some other threads, but I thought we should have a thread so it is easier for people to find ...

iandix · 02-03-2011, 01:08 AM

okay I'm getting a bit lost here, so many different threads and methods.. this one will work with unrooted V1.1.0 right?
or does the device need to be a rooted v1.01 ?

edit double post sorry

iandix · 02-03-2011, 04:21 AM

well I decided to find out for myself.. so I reset my NC back original firmware then updated to v1.1.0 and then installed this autonooter and it worked just like the prevision versions...

Question. When you reset your nook, after the 8 reboots, did you Erase and Deregister your device?

I didn't do that yet and don't know if I need to.

yes you do need to do that as well...

Well that cleared up all my issues. However it was quite a job to now put everything back the way it was.

I'm thinking I might just hold off on this next autonooter until the March B&N updates are done with. There are supposed to be 2 more coming before the end of March. I'm not sure I want to redo all this 2 more times.

I'm going to have to think about this one.

If you use an app to backup your apps/data/settings (including your launcher configuration) it should take a few minutes to restore everything as it was. My experience is with MyBackUp Pro. You should be able to click "Restore", select what you want to do, and walk away.

Unless you were referring to the B&N shelves. Of course you have to do this manually.

I didn't even bother to re-shelve my stuff. The only shelf I use now is "Currently Reading".

Yeah mostly my shelves.

Do you backup everything or just programs like Dolphin that store bookmarks?

I back up everything. The key is to back up apps and their data. You literally pick up where you left off when you restore.

I did this method (I want to say someone posted this in another thread, but not 100% sure) myself and it worked fine. I didn't have to reinstall anything or change anything. Picked up reading in Aldiko right where I left off before updating. You'll need to get Rom Manager from AppBrain and then download the updating file. No partitioning of SD cards, no wiping of SD cards. It was easier than the autonooter process imo..

The main mobileread thread discussing using the pre-rooted update (same method that you linked to is) is here.

It does require replacing your BN recovery with clockwork mod unless you do actually image a card (with a bootable CWM). Summary info about clockworkmod here. Folks not interested in giving up the BN recovery will either want to do an autonooter method or launch the pre-rooted update from a bootable CWM SD card (or manually root from nooter0.2)

Personally, I much prefer CWM since it gives you the ability to create full restores. No more starting over completely from scratch if your Nook gets hosed in some way. It's quite a relief to have a complete restore -- all apps, all BN state, be just a 10 minute un-attended restore away.

I had been waiting for a new autonooter as well, but yesterday afternoon I caved in to my hacking/flashing compulsion and used the CWM solution (same tip of the hat as kblair to the incredible folks at xda).

Grabbed Rom Manager and d/l the 1.1.0 image. It took less than 5 minutes to follow the steps, and poof! A brand new NC...

Not knocking the newest autonooter, mind you -- I did my original rooting with autonooter and couldn't have been happier -- but the CWM solution was just as easy as autonootering and it gives me more options in the future.

Note: Flashing really is a compulsion. Don't believe me? Check out the ROM development forums at xda. My smartphones have had literally dozens of different ROMs flashed over the past couple of years!

Ok that certainly sounds very appealing. How about all future firmware updates from B&N, would new files have to be created for these?

Also what about your book shelves, or ADE files? Are all these preserved as well?

Makes me wonder why would anyone autonooter, if this is so perfect.
