Looking for advice as how to move forward. I have been using my rooted NC without any
major problems and it was rooted since day one. Occasionally it would re-boot on its own
(sometimes once sometimes twice per evening. I read here about some people experiencing
the same with their rooted Nooks, but I did not worry about it much.
Fast forward to last night:
- I was not able to get the NC working. After several tries it would finally turn on after I
plugged in the charger. At first I though that it was just a drained battery. Not so !
After it finally booted, it showed 93% full battery. As it was plugged in on the charger
it continued to cycle in re-booting itself. At one point I saw a message:
"Do not turn off - a new software is being installed '...or something like that..
I thought maybe it is just going to update itself to a new B&N version and I was just
going to loose my rooting, but when it finally rebooted...it shows 1.0.1 version that I am
pretty sure I had before.
Now I cannot even get past the welcome screen:
I am 99% sure that this is just a software issue and there is nothing physically wrong
with the hardware. What do you guys suggest I should do next ?
I am OK if I have to go temporarily to B&N default software and then root again. I rooted from 1.0.1
and I think I want to go to 1.1 anyway so when I re-root I can get the pinch zoom in all apps.
Looking forward to hearing your advice. Thanks in advance !
