Root Updating to 1.3

[DMollendor]

I already have 1.3 downloaded on my nook can i just use the same process as 1.2 uses or no?

I tried upgrading to v1.3 but had problems (lost connection to programs on the home page, unable to connect to Android market) yesterday and so I ended up resetting, upgrading to 1.3, then rooting it again. This experience is based on my NC so you might/will probably fare better.

It works fine now.

I was just wondering if you used the same process as you did with v1.2

Yes and no.

[NC][1.2][1.3] ManualNooter 4.6.16 - xda-developers

Assuming you've never nootered before, scroll down one page to this section:

1.3 Must do these instructions first with 4.5.18 then with 4.6.16.

The links work fine here in 3 different web browsers.

You could try right-click on the link and "save target as".

I just updated the 1.3 update guide here, but use this for creating the bootable sd card since they're using older files: How to make a bootable CWM (ClockWorkMod) recovery sd card

so i just move both zip files to the sd card right

You can copy both, but when you choose zip from CWM recovery, pick 4.5.18 the first time, and 4.6.16 the second time.

I don't think you did.

After creating the bootable sdcard, and copying the files, you turn off your Nook Color, put it in your Nook Color and turn it on and your Nook will boot off the sdcard.

The instructions say to plug it into your computer to turn it on, but I don't see where that's needed since you have a power button that does that too.

What are you doing (or seeing) that's different from that?

ok so i got the first one and i installed the first zip folder now it has 4 options
-apply sdcard update
-choose zip from sd card
-toggle sig verification
-toggle script asserts

which one do i choose

 

[colchiro]

"I got the first one", meaning what?

I assume you're flashing the first file.

From the link (I've tweaked it a bit):

When CWM boots:

• choose "install zip from sdcard" (Volume up 4 times, then n)
• choose "zip from sdcard" (Volume down 1 time, then n)
• (next pick the file to flash) choose manualnooter-4.5.18.zip (Hit volume up until you get to it, then n)
• (confirm) - Confirm that you really want to run the update.
• It'll flash the file. Watch for success or error.
