How to remove clockwork recovery and back the stock recovery ?
You don't need to remove clockwork to get to your stock recovery, just power on your phone with the "volume down" button held down and follow the usual steps.
you don't understand me i want to remove clockwork and my phone to be like brand new
Just delete update.zip from your SD card.

You have to delete both update.zip AND the clockworkmod directory..
That should do the trick..

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
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
Hi guys,
I tried installing CM7 onto my nook, i installed the zip of it onto the root of my sd card and then went into clockwork and installed the zip without wiping anything. Now im stuck at the stock android root boot screen not the even the CM7 one. I tried to go into recovery but i cant and i cant do the 8 interruptions either. I was just wondering if i have to restore the NC back to 1.1 or can i just burn the image of clockwork onto my sd card and zip another rom instead?
This happened to me, too.
I think it was because I wasn't using the latest Clockwork.
Take your SD card out and redo it making sure you use CW 3.0.1.0.
Then follow the steps listed here:
Download a working build of CyanogenMod and place it on the root of the card.
Optional: Download the Google Apps archive and place it on the root of the card.
Turn your Nook Color completely off. (Hold power button then tap "Power Off")
Insert the SD card you installed ClockworkMod Recovery onto.
Once ClockworkMod Recovery has booted, use the volume buttons to highlight options, the "n" button to select the highlighted option, and power to go back a menu.
Select Wipe data/factory reset.
Select Wipe cache partition.
Go to install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard and find your build of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Repeat step 6 with your Google Apps archive instead.
Go to mounts and storage --> unmount sdcard --> remove sdcard. (Rebooting without this step may just return you to the CWR menu.)
Go back to the main menu and select reboot system now. The Nook Color should now boot into CyanogenMod.
(In my case it froze and I had to hold power to shut it off with no negative effects. Your results may vary.)
Sigh, had to copy n paste the steps since I can't post links yet.
I re-did mine and it turned out just fine.
Thanks a lot. Im going to try that out and report back.
Yeah, sounds like you missed the wipe /system /data /cache step. I did the same once, and resulted the same bootloop -> took me a few minutes to realize what I had done.
Did what you guys said and my nook is back . Thanks a lot for the input. Saved me!
I have a backup of my phone made with xRecovery (system,data,cache.img), I put them in xRecovery folder on my SD card but when I try to restore it with xRecovery option on ClockworkMod it says "Couldn't open directory. No files found"
Please help
If the files are in the folder, maybe try to recover them using Xrecovery instead of CWM?

How do I replace Clockworkmod back with xRecovery when my phone boots?
I'm pretty sure there's tutorial abt that. I'm using the app so i can't search for it... try searching. I'll try and look for that thread as well.

copy paste your backup data to CWM folder\backup if you want to restore from CWM
as well as xrecovery
Use "X8toolbox" to install dual recoveries. i.e you get both CWM and Xrecovery.
You can NOT use Xrecovery to restore backups made from CWM and vica-versa.

Cannot use this program, phone turns itself off 10 secs after I enter PIN so cannot stay connected to computer for long enough.

I think you can do it manually and move the folder to ex sd card, CWM can still read it there.

By Default its backed up on External SD Card. For internal you have to choose Backup on Internal SD Card
