[Q] Novice Guide to 1.2 Upgrade from 1.1 Autonooter?

---

Hello everyone. I am a novice to rooting and sideloading and ROM loading and etc., etc., etc. While my Nook color was rooted a few moments after I received it and CWR flashed to 1.1 update later, I am in no way shape or form proficient in any of this and have some basic questions I'm hoping can be answered.

I basically want to go to the B&N 1.2 upgrade (clean, fresh, stock, unmolested, CWR removed, etc.) and be able to "dual boot" via SD card to CM7 when I want to use it as a tablet, while keeping all of my current apps and downloads. Currently I'm on a rooted 1.1 ROM flashed via CWM from auto-nooter 1.0.1. Is this possible?

There is a thread in the Android dev section that has 2 zip files attached, basically stating that to do the "revert to clean" upgrade I flash load the zip file, wipe the two directories via CWR, reboot and poof, CWR is gone and 1.2 is fresh and clean, but I'm unsure if this allows me to retain my apps and downloads. Am I correct in my understanding? If not, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Similar but more basic question

Semi-noob with same question as above, except that I didn't install CWM/CWR, like many others I just rooted a Nook Color 1.1 with Autonooter 3, and use Zeam for 50-odd apps along with Stock 1.1 for reading (and wifistatic for my fixed IP). I have all the apps and data backed up with Titanium to a card.

I plan on just shutting off Wifi until:

1. It is clear whether 1.2 will or won't try to autoload with this simple configuration, and what happens if it tries to do so.
2. Autonooter 4 is issued.
3. There are simple instructions for upgrading to 1.2, rerooting it with Autonooter 4, and restoring apps from Titanium. [Please?] The info in the other thread, so far, is too varied and complicated for those of us who appreciate all your hard work but really don't understand it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1050164

Thank you!

I too have the Nook (1.1) rooted using Autonooter. Copying the 1.2 B&N file to the nook does nothing. The file disappears after sometime, How does one even upgrade in this case? Thanks.

I followed the instructions here to restore to stock 1.1 then sideload 1.2. It worked flawlessly.

I used the method listed in this link and it worked perfectly -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720

Now to look into a bootable CM7 via SD. I kinda want my old functions back, just don't want a molested nook anymore.

Yes same procedures however your link provides a more basic, easy to follow set of instructions especially for the newbie.

Just make sure you use the correct firmware that came with the nook, either 1.01, or 1.1.

If you find another easy link for this (CM7 on SD) please post, as that's what I'm looking for also.

this may help.

Potential fix for Angry Bird install after manual neuter

---

A lot of people are saying that you can't install angry birds with the SD card installed. This sounds like the problem that I had with my Droid X. To fix it I had to delete the file left from the prior install under .android secure on the SD card. I guess that Froyo sometimes has issues with this file getting corrupt on the micro SD and then it can't install correctly during updates and reinstalls. I think you lose all previous data but at least you have it working normally now with the SD card installed. I'll try it on my nook and post back. I would have put this in the manual nooter thread but I don't have enough posts to post there.

Any word on when Autonooter 4 will be out? Can't find any info about that...

Thanks,
Doug

If you look at the manual nooter thread, they're working out a few issues. It's about 95% there, id say, but until the experience is 100% I doubt you'll see an autonooter 4.0.
