If i understand this correctly. Was I supposed to keep the update.zip the rom manager put on my sd card? That was to allow me to return my recovery image back to stock if needed?
You need the update.zip to launch the clockwork recovery mode as opposed to the built in one.
if you override/delete it like I did you can find it in \sdcard\clockworkmod\recovery-update.zip
just rename it back to update.zip and put it back at the root of \sdcard

my g1 will freeze after brand, tried recovery mode wipe but that doesnt work either, anyone have any idea what i should do?
(edit)
i tried camera+power boot and it flash and say No Image
Is your phone rooted? What mod are you running? There are lots of things to come into play you left out.
yes its rooted, im running recovery 1.4 cyganomod 4.0.4
Do you have the update.zip that you are wanting to flash on the root of your sd card?
no, i tried installing a theme through cyganomod updater and after it was done i rebooted as usual and it wont past brand logo
Time to wipe and reflash the cm 4.0.4
i cant even access my SD card at all
ill have to get a card reader to do it, xp says that i need to insert a sd card
can you get into recovery?
better yet, do you have adb on your pc? it would be better to upgrade to amon-ra's recovery thru fastboot. then you can mount the sd card from recovery and put what you need on the card.
I love how much easier it is to use amon_ra's recovery. I have no need for shell use anymore for everyday stuff And mounting/unmounting sd cards from recovery is AWESOME! Thanks go out to amon_RA!
yeah i can get into recovery
go into the console in recovery, plug your phone into your computer and type
ums_enable
enter
this mounts your sdcard, put the files you need on the root of your sd than type
ums_disable
enter
this unmounts your sd than type
recovery
enter
this puts you back in recovery
Hey all,
I've successfully rooted my NC and installed Froyo to the internal memory (Via flashable zip).
I've installed ROM Manager and supposedly flashed CWR successfully. Although, when I try to boot into recovery it just reboots normally. I've tried to reboot into recovery via ROM Mgr, quickboot, and holding the "n" when starting up.
Any ideas? Thanks.
I'm going through the same thing and now my NC won't even turn on.

Don't worry. I went through the same thing after flashing the froyo zip. Here is how you can get the NC turned on and restore to a previous backup (if you have a nandroid backup that is).
If you have a nandroid backup, copy it to your PC using a card reader with sd card from your NC
Go to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870 and download clockwork_1gb-0.4.tar.gz.
Follow the instructions there and burn the image to SD card
You should have over 800MB free in the newly burned card. Create a folder called clockworkmod in the card. Inside that folder, create another folder called backup and then copy the nandroid backup folder you have on your PC, to your SD card, so that the structure looks something like clockworkmod\backup\2011-01-28.10.15.50
Download boot file from the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919353
Extract the zip file and copy the .img file to SD card
Now put the SD card in Nook and turn it on. It should now boot from the card and get you to a Clockwork Recovery (if it isn't turning on, try holding N button first and power button later)
Once in Clockwork Recovery, you must be able to access NC through ADB on PC
Follow the instructions on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10760795&postcount=11 to get boot.img file to your NC
After that if you have a Nandroid backup, restore it from Clockwork Recovery
Now reboot your NC. It should boot up. If you restored from a backup, everything should work fine. Otherwise NC will ask you to do a factory reset.
I hope that helped
I got my nookcolor yesterday and love it
I immediately updated to 1.1 and rooted it
Today I installed ClockworkMod Recovery in order to back up my nook onto my sd card
I booted into ClockworkMod Recovery, did a backup, went to "reboot system now" and the sytem just keeps booting into ClockworkMod Recovery.
I attempted a restore thinking something was screwed up from the backup I just made and it says it went well but still it just boots into ClockworkMod.
Do I just not know how to reboot my nook? It makes no sense that it would be corrupt given that all I did at first was backup to sd. HELP PLEASE this tiny text recovery screen is starting to look old.
What I did was find the thread about removing CWR (I think its in the dev forum)
It basically entails setting up a bootable CWR image on your SD card, and then adding a CWR removal zip into the root of the sd card...
Put it in your NC and boot to the SD card, install zip from SD card, let it run
After it is complete, reboot from CWR and when it says 'rebooting' pop out the SD card so your system can boot normally.
After that, go back into ROM Manager, flash CWR and then it should work fine.
I had this same problem last night (running 1.1 autonooter 3.0) and made a backup in CWR this afternoon and it worked flawlessly...
I don't know what happens with the initial CWR flash from ROM Manager on 1.1 systems, but removing it and reflashing seems to do the trick.
I am running rooted 1.1, and want to create a backup before I take the plunge on CM7. I reboot using Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager, and access the backup menu.
This is what always happens:
Reboot into recovery
Choose Backup and Restore
Choose Backup
......
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.1.0
SD Card space free: 949MB
Backing up boot...
Backing up system...
Can't mount /system!
I then go back out and choose 'Mounts and Storage' to try to manually mount the volumes. From here I can see that /cache and /sdcard is mounted, but I cannot mount /system or /data.
Any ideas??? I really want to back up my my stock unit before trying CM7...

1.1 functions with clockwork 3.0.0.5. I don't think you will get a backup with 3.0.1.0 because it writes to a different partition. You may need to burn 0.5 to an sd card or revert to 0.5 do your backup and then reload 1.0.

The oldest version I could find in ROM Manager was 3.0.0.6. I reverted to that version, but it did not work any better. Now when I tell it to reboot, it will only reboot back into recovery, I cannot get it to reboot back into Eclair. I never had a problem rebooting out of recovery mode on 3.0.1.0. What the heck is going on? I did make sure no SD cards were in during the reboots.
I did go download an offline copy of 3.0.0.5 to try from SD, but I need to get back into Eclair so I can update my Nook to use the older CWR via ADB...
Here's your answer!
Hey, I had this exact problem. Here is the solution:
1) Download the .zip update for ClockworkMod 3.0.1.0 and put it on your SD
2) Flash CWM from ROM Manager (NOT the "old" one, just the regular one)
3) Reboot to CWM
4) From CWM, install the .zip CWM update file
Reboot to android, then reboot to recovery (using ROM Manager or whatever other means you like, doesn't matter) and you'll be able to do a backup.
Hope this helps!

i found an sd bootable versionof CWM, it as 3.0.0.5, but said it was 1.1 compatable. I booted off SD, and this copy worked. I backed up, formatted, and flashed the new ROM. However, as soon as I removed the SD and rebooted, it took me right back to the CWM that is on my eMMC! What gives???
I still cannot reboot back into android
Hi!
I have downloaded the zip file from xda. When i went into recovery mood i cleared the cache and data when i tried to install the zip from sd card.... the zip was not found.
Now when i try to switch on mobile it goes into recovery mood.
Any solution to it plz help...!!!!
Awaiting for your response....
It does help stating which phone you have, either the normal 5570 or 5570i, as both phones vary a lot under the shell.
I assume you are using stock ROM and kernel, as you appear to be new to this.
When you downloaded the zip file, did you download it directly into your phone? If so, then the file stays in /sdcard/download. As the stock recovery does not display all the folders in /sdcard, the download folder cannot be seen or accessed. Hence, as a guideline, shift all flashable zips to the root of your sdcard (/sdcard) to allow your recovery to access and flash these zip files.
However, I am not too sure why your phone is unable to boot as you have (apparently) only wiped data and cache.
