Installing the 1.0.1 update on a rooted NC - nookDevs
I think I'm going to pass and wait for a more major update. At the moment, my NC is running like a champ.

Me too. Plus, I think they're trying to break root!!! OK, I don't know that...but that's what they always say with Droid updates.

Well my NC is perfect and exactly where I want it but I woke up this morning and I feel more adventurous. Since many people seem to have questions on newer rooting methods, auto nooters, apps, market, factory resets, etc., I guess I need to get experience on anything and everything pertaining to the NC development. So against my better judgement, I'm going to back up my whole NC, wipe it, go all the way back to stock, install the new NC update, re-root using the the "auto nooter" so I get get more experience and answer people's questions better.
What else do I have to do today besides watch the Giants/Eagles game.
Update: Came to my senses and changed my mind. There is issues with complete wiping so I'm holding off.

You know, you're why I love this forum so much...atm anyway.Well my NC is perfect and exactly where I want it but I woke up this morning and I feel more adventurous.

What a hilarious post. Really, don't sweat it. I know exactly what you mean...I was threatening for days to go back to stock, but haven't yet. The funny thing is FINALLY my wife is on the couch (OK everyone, not what you're thinking!) with the "practice" NC in her hands, reading a book. Hopefully she'll enjoy it. (I did notice that she started out holding it "in air" but after 5 minutes it was down, on her lap.) Really, I may end up slitting my wrists if she says "Oh, that was nice. But I think I prefer my old Sony eReader."
Hopefully she'll prefer the NC, and I'll get to continue improving it.
So yeah, anyway. One day at a time!

Update: well without my knowledge my NC updated itself to 1.0.1.
So far:
-lost root
-can still get to apps list
-most apps now won't work
-zeam launch not working
-angry birds still works so it's all good
Well I'm going to attempt to manually root again, not too crazy about wiping and the auto nooter.

Wow, I''m STUNNED! Let me take a look at mine...
...no change...yet...
Angry Birds...???... I couldn't decide if you posted that video on the rooted NC just to yank my chain. But obviously you're not that kind of guy!
Please post back your adventures/experiences re-rooting, etc.

Crap Astro not working. Well I have some work to do now on the NC. Hopefully the old root method will still work, I don't see why not. I need to get another cd card since I have too much on my 8gb card and don't want to wipe it away. I'm not too upset though, updates are bound to come and I backup all my apps anyway.

Don't know why I've had my Droid for a year, and never tried Titanium (free)...been using Astro's backup utility. I've got Titanium on the NC, and afaik it's backing up my apps to sd nightly. I haven't tried restoring yet, but hopefully it will be as easy as I think it is!

Another thought: we knew the update would come OTA, but...how...?
I mean: you got your phone from Sprint, me from Verizon. When we get OTAs, our carrier is the one that releases them. The carrier has the handset IDs, and we know that the handsets phone home (literally) from time to time. So there is a logical relationship between the phone and the communications company that sold it to us.
OK, I realize that by registering our devices with B&N that more or less the same infrastructure is created. It just feels a little strange to me that B&N is doing things the same way. I guess if you said "B&N isn't doing it. They've licensed a third-party to do it. Gave them all the device info, and said 'Have at it!'" I'd have to agree that sounded reasonable.
I dunno...just a random rant I guess...
