I have Rooted a new NST with 1.1 and SalsichaNooter. Only issue: when trying to register YouTube my channels I get the "network 401" error. I have logged in on several different networks with different ISPs. No Joy. I did Run the SalsichaNooter a second time to see if there was a difference, but everything is the same. Has any one solved this issue. I have seen it reported in several places but not found any solutions. Thanks.

401 Error solved

I have re-rooted using the Clock Work Mod (CWM) from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748
At first i could not get a boot from the "Boot" SD I had created then I recreated the image on the SD using WinImage (instead of image writer) and made a point to select "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image" to SDcard.

After that all went well. Still had the 401 network error, but pressed on through all the steps as instructed and all is well. YouTube app no longer works but I know I can re-install if needed but cant watch vids on this device any way.

I want to emphasize that the Gapps will not sync until after final zip is installed. The directions already say that but it could be clearer for us poor souls wondering what we are looking at.

Thank you for your work on this root. Glad to be able to add some basic function to the little reader.

Other Issues I have, Original browser Force closes and Calender app has the SD card installed image super imposed across calendar. Weird.
Running many apps including Office Suite.

I got the dreaded error 401 on two different Nooks while walking through the rooting process. Turns out it has nothing to do with the network or wifi, this is what finally worked for me.

"Go to YouTube on a computer, sign in with google account details and set up a user name for the account".

So basically an incomplete you tube profile.

At one point I got an Network 400 Error (does that mean I only have 399 to go?)

This was solved by logging out of you tube on all machines and completing the steps on the nook to complete rooting.

Hope this helps someone, I would post to the dev forum in the salschia and other root threads but can't

The 401 error is related to the "Wait a day" issue with Market, no one is quite sure what causes it, only that usually it clears itself up within a day and since youtube becomes useless after this without a reinstall (and frankly on e-ink with no sound youtube is pretty useless anyways) all that's left is waiting a day for Market to work.

I was always able to use market search right away after the root finished - I admit I ended up using the manual process or the clockwork mod method to root.
