I just spent the better part of 3 hours trying to restore my NC back to Auto_Nooter 3.0 Release 1.1 after a failed attempt by BN to upgrade my NC today..

I came back to my NC to find it rebooting and hosed up. It wanted me to Register and even though I managed to get it to have a Wireless Internet connection, it kept failing to Register with a Network Connection problem.... Given that I was still at what appeared to be Rooted 1.1 but without any of the apps and a Market app that couldn't connect to the Internet, I finally gave up until I could tackle it tonight.

I first tried to Factory restore to 1.1 but ended up with the same issue as before - said I had Wireless Internet connection but registration failed.

Ended up having to Clockwork Recovery to 1.0.1 and upgrade to 1.1 and then Auto-Nooter.

Finally restored my last backup with Titanium backup and I am back to where I was before BN messed it up... Plan to go to 1.2 once it can be Rooted.

Thanks for the restore steps, got me out of being stuck at the "n" screen.

I'd like to upgrade my Nook to version 1.1.
But when I connect my PC (Windows XP) with Nook, I can't explore it in order to copy the update file into the root.
May be I need a driver?
