Sorry to bump such an old thread, but resources like GitHub, MobleRead, and XDA didn't seem to have any reliable archives of these critical files for the 1st Edition now that NookDevs is down. I had to look all over the internet, including B&N URLs by trial and error, to find these two crucial files. I have verified their SHA1 hashes match the files referenced in the tutorial below:

Skip to Step #4 if you're already using a rooted nook.

1. Download the official 1.0.0 signed update.

Barnes and Noble has likely introduced a new hardware revision which bricks your unit if you install their official 1.0.0 Firmware (A step needed to root). As of right now, Nooks with serial #s starting with 1003 AND HIGHER (running firmware 1.4.1) cannot be rooted using this method, and should NOT be attempted. See Rooting New Hardware for more details.

2. Copy 1.0.0 signed update to your nook's internal SDcard (should be named NOOK)

3. Go to the home screen, your e-ink screen will have a notification saying it's reading the update, your nook will reboot by itself and 1.0.0 will install to your nook.

4. Download the NookDevs.com (perfinion's) 2.5.1 (B&N:1.5.0) Softroot/ROM
SHA1SUM: 438D387126530E08DE896BB4A4A25E2F2725F430

5. Copy the NookDevs.com 2.5.1 Softroot/ROM to your external SDcard (The one that isn't named NOOK). And change its name to "bravo_update.dat".

6. Hold the power until your e-ink screen goes off.

7. Press and hold the "<" button on the right side of the nook, and then press and release the power button, while continuing to hold the "<" button.

8. You can release "<" once a screen appears indicating that your device is updating. Wait through the entire process and when you see a launcher screen, reboot once more.

9. After your nook boots, hold the touchscreen portion down to pull up the launcher menu. You can click "+" to add apps to the main screen here.

10. You're all done, now go watch some TV.
