Mods, if this is the wrong place I apologize! This just might help someone else though.
I just rooted a new NST. I've had it for two days now, so it is quite new.
As I cannot post in the dev section I will put my observation here.
At first I tried the touchnooter, the first one. I failed, was stuck in a boot loop. I had checked the version number before beginning. It said it was updated properly. I figured it was just me and went to try another root method.
I then used MinimalTouch 1.1beta5. Same thing, boot loop after the first step.
After restoring the NST using the restore zip and de-registering/re-registering it.. I rechecked (for the 5th-6th time) the version number. Still correct.
And then, just for poos and giggles.. I applied the update anyways. It did its little thing... and then I was able to root the dratted thing.
I am unsure as to why this worked, but it did. So.. if everything else fails... update anyways.
