The Update is Now Available!

[saulleibow]

Absolutely

The only reason to go back is to get back the original Nook Color app... believe it or not but some people actually like to use it for reading...

Could not agree more

Problems with update

I'm having problems manually installing the new update. The installation starts okay, but after a few seconds it stops, showing the "fail" icon (! within a triangle). Pressing the power button returns a Clockwork Recovery message that "signature verification failed". Actually, I think the automatic update was also attempted; I later noticed the same "fail" icon on the unattended NC. Got the same "signature verification failed" message. The NC is now on version 1.0.0 (missed the update), but I don't think that is causing the problem. Anybody have any ideas. Thanks in advance.

My first guess is that you zip is bad. I just installed it with no problems. Before I put it on my Nook I made sure that I could unzip it without errors. I had to use WinRar. My zip is 190MB. I did an Erase/Deregister reset before doing the update. I upgraded from 1.1.

It still boots my CM7 Gingerbread SD card just fine also.

Has anyone gotten the update over wifi yet?

 

[neoblood3d]

I agree if you need that. I am not into reading magazines/books from BaN myself. I just use Moon reader for all my books which I convert into EPub format. I totally understand the need for the official BaN app for those that need it. ii

Me too, Moon is everything I ever wanted in a reader plus it reads to me in the full version which is great for when my eyes get a little tired and i want to push through to the end of a chapter.

NC IS offically for porn!!!!

Only had my NC two weeks. Actually used it as a reader, believe it or not, but was just about to root it. Just did the upgrade and it works great. Now it remains under full warranty and acts like a tab. Like Christmas early IMHO. Thanks B&N.
With the new OS, now I have to figure out how to use my Blackberry Tour as a modem for it. It's always something...

I was getting the android with an exclamation mark when trying to do the 1.2 update.

I found out that you cannot do an update through Clockwork Recovery. I had to remove it and install it with the default NC installer. After that, it updated perfectly. I used this as a guide.

I can't seem to get an answer to this. Can I just go ahead and apply the update if my Nook is already rooted? If not, what do I need to do?

Thanks,
Jim

 

[brucejklein]

Does anyone know if setting the fota.mode from "auto" to "manual" in the registry actually prevents automatic updates?

I've been booting off the SD card since yesterday to avoid an automatic update on my rooted over clocked nook.

Thanks

Easy fix........Trade in your Tour for an Android phone, root it, and run wireless tether. Blackberries are so yesterday

I changed the fota mode to manual with SQLite and no update has come through yet.

Blackberry Storm to HTC Thunderbolt

I finally decided to upgrade my Cell Phone it took a bit of time to decide between Apple and the rest. I decided on the HTC Thunderbolt however I did have some reservations after getting the Thunderbolt things I took for granted with the storm:

1) Able to set different ring tones for each E-mail program (work vs Personal)
2) Able to set different ring tone for each SMS Contact
3) Blackberry was Supported for USbank Mobile Wallet

I am sure there will be others as I learn this new phone a bit more complicated than the Blackberry.

However, The only reason I keep my Blackberry Storm is just in case I loose or Damage my Phone I will have a phone to get me by until I get a replacement. Unfortunately, I am on a leash as many others are these days.

1) I do this with the standard Gmail app.

2) I have not looked into this but I am sure it can be done, there are a ton of utilities for notifications and contacts etc...

3) Sorry I am not familiar with that one.

Photobossman:

1) It has that option
2) Yes, you can assign different ringtone for each of your contacts
3) I have USBank mobile wallet and it's supported on android. (Look for "Mobile Banking" in Google Market)

Hi. I just bought a new nook color and i am just getting informed about "rooting" it. Could someone guide me on how to root my new nook color version 1.2.0?

Also, what is the difference between rooting, froyo, and honeycomb? Thanks in advance.

How about you read some of the stickies at the top of the forum?

 

[zombravengadora]

Well I have. I just want to make sure that the same procedure and files need to be used as shown on past posts about the previous version of the nook. Are the same file downloads used for the 1.2.0 version?
