Thank you for providing me with the link that I was unable to access yesterday for my My 1st Edition (3g model). Unfortunately the update comes up as a "signed bravo update.dat" file and when I copy it to the reader it shows as an invalid update.
My newest issue with my reader is now my library won't update and it constantly closes. So, I can't download any of my books. I tried to sideload the books and it does the same thing. Now I can only use it to purchase books but can't read anything on it. I even tried removing the battery and waited over 30 minutes and reinstalled it (didn't do anything).
Is this B&N's way of telling us there will be no more support for the 1st edition and we have to buy a Simple Touch instead?
If you did just a regular factory reset, your firmware version should not be changed (this only happens when you do a reset by interrupting boot 6 times). So check your firmware version, it should still be 1.7.
If your firmware is not 1.7 the update should work. The supplied link is correct. Make sure the filename was not changed in any way (in needs to end in just '.dat"). Try another browser to download the update.
Make sure that your Nook is registered correctly (you can see this in settings). And that it is registered to the correct account.
When you use search for new B&N content what happens? Do you get an error message?
Make sure that you have a good 3G connection (see the symbol on top of the screen).
Were you perhaps using Wifi before the reset? Or is there Wifi available somewhere that you can try?
If you sideload books you need to copy them to "My Documents", not to your B&N library. And you wll have to change your view from the B&N library to "My Documents".
The N1E is still supported. You should not have any problems.
