- Barnes and Noble has likely introduced a new hardware revision which bricks your unit if you install their official 1.0.0 Firmware (A step needed to root). As of right now, Nooks with serial #s starting with 1003 AND HIGHER (running firmware 1.4.1) cannot be rooted using this method, and should NOT be attempted.
- 2. Copy 1.0.0 signed update to your nook's internal SDcard (should be named NOOK)
- 3. Go to the home screen, your e-ink screen will have a notification saying it's reading the update, your nook will reboot by itself and 1.0.0 will install to your nook.
- 4. Download the NookDevs.com (perfinion's) 2.5.1 (B&N:1.5.0) Softroot/ROM download

- 5. Copy the NookDevs.com 2.5.1 Softroot/ROM to your external SDcard (The one that isn't named NOOK). And change its name to "bravo_update.dat".
- 6. Hold the power until your e-ink screen goes off.
- 7. Press and hold the "<" button on the right side of the nook, and then press and release the power button, while continuing to hold the "<" button.
- 8. You can release "<" once a screen appears indicating that your device is updating. Wait through the entire process and when you see a launcher screen, reboot once more.
- 9. After your nook boots, hold the touchscreen portion down to pull up the launcher menu. You can click "+" to add apps to the main screen here.
- 10. You're all done, now go watch some TV.
