Go into nook color settings and just tap the checked box once to uncheck it then tap again to check. I don't know if that actually does anything but I did it and I haven't had any problems.
sadly, that didn't work..

That is normal when Davlik and system cache are cleared. Just be patient![..] I first started off at v1.4.1 then followed steps 4 - 10.
I installed MN 5.12.20 (which is the latest) and when i rebooted it took forever to get past the Nook Color rainbow screen.
As others have noted, you have to TOGGLE this checkbox.I went into Nook Color Tools and the check box was already checked.
What exactly do you mean by "canceled itself". If you mean it downloads, but never successfully installs, that sounds an awful lot like the symptom of having run one of the earlier ManualNooter versions. Those will break this process. Simply running the newest version won't fix it. Unfortunately, the only fix for this I found was to do a factory reset, then try again. I got really good at doing that!Then i went into the market and signed in.
I tried downloading Nook Color App Manager, but the installation just paused then canceled itself.
The Nook Color App Manager step is definitely optional, and only required if you want to integrate 3rd party apps onto the B&N screens.Ummmmmm........... Well I did that and I'm also using the launcher home, by using homecatcher. And all of my stuff works, so I didn't have to download the app manager.

Personally, I kept the 'n' button set to the B&N home screen, since it's kinda pretty, and just added an ADW EX icon to one of the side screens.
As with most things, once you get under the hood, there are a hundred ways to do things!
Erase & Deregister Device (Quick Settings->Settings->Device Info) should do it. Sorry about the confusion![...] By factory reset do you mean: erase and deregister? or factory reset from cwm?
Just another launcher. There are several good ones. I've stuck with ADW because of the ability to tweak icon sizes, which is really nice on the larger NC screen. I'm sure other launchers provide similar features.What is ADW EX?
If you haven't spotted it yet, there's a "Nook Home" icon that you can put on your launcher screen for quick access.I like the traditional Android home screen, but I can switch to the B&N home screen to read my books.

Could I use the default Android text editor?
By changing "com.bn.device.fota.modefota operation modefotaauto" to "com.bn.device.fota.modefota operation modefotamanual?"
No. You need a program that will allow you to manipulate the SQLite database. Preferably, without making a mess of it.I still need to know if editing it with the default android text editor will block updates.

Just beware automatic OTA updates if you want to stay at 1.3. They don't ask if you don't block 'em.thank you along with matt0106 for helping! i just decided to go back to 1.3 stock and root from there![]()
Having the next update disable functionality, including root, then having to sit around hoping that somebody figures out how to re-root your unit, which may never happen. In other words: Nothing good.I am considering rooting my Nook Color and I was just wondering what are the repercussions of not disabling OTA after rooting?

Nook Tablet owners have already experienced this, and are having to do a lot of re-work to revert to an older version to get rooted, then (having learned their lesson) blocking OTA updates.I'm very happy I blocked OTA updates on day 1 on the Tablet!
Rooted my Nook Color 1.4.1 using this method.
Worked like a charm.
I also edited the OTA using rootexplorer and SQLite Editor, which was super simple and straight forward minus purchasing both apps from the android market.
Rebooted my NC and everything worked out fine with no boot loop.
Successful root with version NC 1.4.1
Great Job and Thanks a bunch
I usually keep system-level apps out of the B&N interface, and access them via ADW EX (my choice of launcher). Works fine that way.[...] Edit: It seems that opening Root Explorer from the App Manager app does not work. However, going to the Market, My Apps and opening Root Explorer from there works. FML.
