How to update your nook to 1.1.1 if you have 1.1.0 a.k.a. how to fix Adobe Digital Editions

Trying to update to 1.1.1 on your nook and getting an "Invalid Update" error? I've figured out a way to get the update to work.

  1. Install Python if you don't have it installed. (Macs already have it installed by default.)
  2. Run the script from here using Python.
  3. Wait until the script finishes getting the firmware file downloaded.
  4. Connect your nook via the USB cable.
  5. Copy the "signed_bravo_update.1.0.0.dat" to the root of the nook drive and rename it to "signed_bravo_update.dat".
  6. Eject and disconnect your nook and watch it revert back to 1.0.0 automatically.
  7. Download the 1.1.1 update from Barnes and Noble's website.
  8. Connect your nook to your computer through the USB cable again.
  9. Copy the 1.1.1 update that you've downloaded to the root of the nook drive.
  10. Eject and disconnect your nook.
  11. Your nook will reboot and you will have 1.1.1 on your nook with all the bug fixes and optimizations that it offers (including the Adobe Digital Editions bug that some users are having).

Update: A 500 error keeps on occurring with this script, so I guess I'll have to find someone who has the 1.0.0 update saved somewhere.

Update 2: Grab the 1.0.0 firmware from here or here.

Barnes and Noble nook to get an update this week? Sure sounds like it - Engadget

This will hopefully not follow the course of all of Barnes and Noble's promises. Engadget says the nook update will be pushed out most likely around Tuesday. According to a tipster, the update will contain these fixes (and probably more):

  • Page turning and formatting of downloaded e-books has been improved.
  • Start-up time for My Library, The Daily, and Setting has been improved.
  • Barnes & Noble in-store content and promotions roll-out is fully supported.
  • Launches reader immediately on Select from The Daily and My Library for books and subscriptions that have already been downloaded.
  • Reading Now takes customer straight into the last book page read without reformatting the content.
  • Displays the correct time on the status bar.
  • No longer unprompted to the home screen when pressing the arrow or the select button.
  • Displays correct error-message for pre-ordering books that are not yet available.
