I rooted my nook with my touch nooter when it has first arrived 3 months ago.
I've never bothered to update v.1.01 but now with release of v.1.1 I give it a go,
I've done 8'th failed boot type factory reset then installed the v.1.1

The thing I'm puzzled about is I still have the Go Launcher EX, Dropbox and other apps I've installed prior to reset and v.1.1 same time. But there is no market, and device settings as of an android device.

It's not rooted but still the major app "dropbox" and other pdf readers stays.

Is this a violation of any kind?

You need to do an L+R reset in order to get rid of all that stuff, which is under /data, as well as your settings. Turn on the nook, and then when it starts to turn on, hold the bottom page turn buttons on each side of the nook until it asks you to do a factory reset. Click the home button twice, and the reset will commence. Once you're done, you'll have to re-register your nook, but unless you changed something outside of /system and /data, I think you'll be golden.
Try talking to ros87; he's been extremely helpful and unobnoxious, in spite of my obvious n00bness

Factory Restore only restores the system files, it doesn't wipe your /data and that is why you still have your apps.

The Google apps resides in a different place (/system/app) and is therefore normally lost on Restore.

Use the method outlined above or simply go into Settings->Device Info->Erase & Deregister Device which will remove all apps, data and settings for you.

Well, I'm happy that I have them,
After I've sent prior message I've used touch nooter as GabrialDestruir's suggested method, using prior data to root:

"If you're pre-1.1 rooted this SHOULD work:
Run a Factory Restore to wipe /system only - 8 failed boots, or nookRestore image
Run the 1.1 update as is from B&N
Open TouchNooter and remove framework.jar from the TouchNooter disk
Run TouchNooter without 1.0.1 TouchNooter
Go through all steps for Market/Gmail/Youtube
You SHOULD be rooted with working market now"

Now I have SUPER USER, gmail app starts recieves mail but force closes , youtube app worked for sometime after re-installing the app but now it forcecloses....
Market and the market search however works.
Button Saviour and all works either.
Now I got a rooted nook 1.1 I think...

Glad you got it solved mate :)

New TouchNooter is also right around the corner, maybe that will fix your FC troubles with gmail and youtube.
