1. Turn on your newly bought NOOKColor, after seeing video of pretty girl Kate's video, register with B & N. [I see no good reason to bypass it, so..] Go to Settings > Device Info > About Your NOOKColor, note down the Software Version. You can update your NC whether you want to root it or not.
2. Rooting -
As you know your Software Version now, do accordingly. The basic instructions can be found here - link Read them twice !
a. If you have not updated and are on version 1.0.0 or 1.0.1
Download Auto Nooter for 1.0.0 or Auto Nooter for 1.0.1
You can root it now using the simple instructions and but you have to install pre rooted 1.1.0.
b. If you want to update to 1.1.0 and then root it Auto Nooter, first you have to Completely Wipe, if it is not a out-of-box NOOKColor and then Update your NC to 1.1.0. Instructions and download link is here.
Note : People who have used Auto Nooter 3 reported they have been facing problems with CWR. CWR is a back up utility hence it counts lot about this app. Better to follow method a.
Caution - Rooting is not for the faint of heart, do read instructions twice. Otherwise you might end up your new NC making it unusable.
