Clockwork Recovery
Use Rom Manager in the market to install it.

Are full nandroid backups in CWM working now? Last I had looked they were incomplete.

You can also use adb with dd command to make an image of your partitions...

Can I use the RecoveryTattoo script for changing my recovery from AmonRa to ClockworkMod?
Yep I did that to my Tattoo.
Wow! It worked, thanks a lot! I've been haiving some errors when installing ClockworkMod, but this worked. Thanks a bunch!
No problem mate I did that for my mobile so I thought it would be useful to share it with you.
I also reinstall the Stock Rom and tested everything so I am sure that is working.
After installing that you can flash your Tattoo with the latest Kalim's version 2.3.2 with working camera
Thanks a lot!
CM7 was the main reason I wanted ClockworkMod
I think that's the only reason for all of us!!!

Do i have to install HTC-Sync Drivers (on the PC)? What is the right way to proof if the connection is stable and all drivers are installed in the right way?

1. Open command prompt
2. Navigate to rtattoo directory - C:/rtattoo
3. Write: adb shell
If that can connect to your phone then you are 100% ready to start
Do i have to open the command prompt of the android sdk? Or the "normal" command prompt?
And after that i only have to do following?

The currently installed original Android 1.6 with sense will be uneffected by this process? Or will all data be deleted?

Yeah I tried that in a 1.6 installation and nothing affected until I installed a custom Rom where I had to wipe all data and cache first.. Do a nandroid backup first to be sure that you will not lose anything If something goes wrong you will be able to go back using the nandroid.

Thx for your quick answer, nice!
Until now i never used nandroid-backup (on my desire). Making a nandroid-backup means that i can restore the original android 1.6 without wiping or flashing? 1.6 will be restored with all its apps and settings?
If i get a continuous bootloop, is it possible to enter the recovery to restore the nandroid-backup?
btw.: After rooting the superuser-app will be installed?

rootTattoo.bat worked like a charm. No errors, tattoo rebooting. Clockworkmod is available, i already did a nandroid backup.
But now i want to install Titanium Backup to backup some of the apps. But TB always say "no root rights" available. What am i doing wrong?

[GUIDE] Install CM7 or CM10 + Recovery to EMMC - ALL NOOK COLORS! (Updated:11/19/12)

***Nook Colors manufactured after May 2011 shipped with a different partition scheme, see post 2 for information about it, or just go ahead with the guide since it doesn't affect much! You can identify these nooks as they have a blue dot sticker on the box***
A gentle reminder, this thread should only be for discussion related to the guide itself. Any CM7/10 related issues should be discussed in the appropriate threads either in General or the Development forum. Thanks!
On with the good stuff:
Prologue
This guide is intended to take you through the (mostly windows-based) steps needed to replace your internal nook color rom with CM7/CM9, gapps and clockworkmod or TWRP recovery all on EMMC. This will work coming from any previous rom, including the latest stock software (excluding dual boot set ups, not supporting that here), no previous rooting is needed for a new nook, however don't forget to boot stock and register the device before flashing to CM7/10.
At this point in CM7 development I am recommending installing a CM7.2 build by mrg666 from this thread or an official nightly/stable 7.2 directly from CyanogenMod: http://get.cm/?device=encore
CM10 is based on Android 4.1 (Jellybean) and builds can be found here: http://get.cm/?device=encore or mirrored here: http://techerrata.com/browse/cm/encore/nightly
If you want to run CM7/10 from the sdcard.. you're in the wrong place! Go check out verygreen's thread here for CM7 or here for CM10.
ALWAYS check the md5 hash for the files you are downloading to make sure you don't have corrupted files. This is a great windows utility to do that: http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/
On with the guide:
Download 1gb TWRP image from here OR 1gb CWM 3.2.0.1 sdcard image from here. MD5 of .zip: 1319739d33642ed860e8044c3d55aa56. (I made this based on work in this thread. credit: to cmstlist and DizzyDen, and kevank for hosting). You really only need the 1gb image for this guide, no matter what the size of your card is. A smaller image will burn faster, and when you're done with the guide you can reformat the card anyway.
Extract the twrp or clockworkmod .img (if you can't open the file use 7zip)and burn to sdcard using win32diskimager (free). These apps will need to be "run as administrator." If you're not sure how to do this see step 3 here. ***Some internal laptop/desktop readers will not work to do this, you may need an external USB reader if you run into problems.***
While that's burning:
Download CM7 or CM10 from the links above.
Download either CWM 3.2.0.1 flashable .zip from here or TWRP 2.x flashable zip from here.
For CM7 -Download the latest gapps gingerbread needed for market/google services) from http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
For CM10 download gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip from here or here
Once your sdcard is done, copy all those files to the sdcard - DO NOT unzip them
Power off your nook. Put the sdcard in, and power on, the nook will boot from sdcard into TWRP or clockworkmod depeding on which you used. TWRP is touch based and easy to use. Navigate in CWM using the vol up/down keys, N button to accept, power button to go back.
Optional: At this point if you want to make a backup of your current EMMC rom (stock or whatever else you're running) you can. Just go to backup.
Go back and navigate to Install .zip from sdcard/Choose .zip
Flash the files in this order:
1. cm .zip
2. gapps
3. Clockworkmod or TWRP .zip
Once you've flashed the files; in the clockworkmod main menu select "wipe data/factory reset" or in TWRP choose factory reset from the wipe menu.
Go back to the main menu, remove the sdcard
Format the sdcard in your computer as fat32 (or use another sdcard) and put it back in the nook and then press reboot system. (CM7 requires the use of an sdcard for storage - thanks pmilford for the tip)
Once you boot into CM7/10, you'll be presented with a welcome screen and you can add your google acct. You need to have wifi access here (obviously..) so hit menu on the status bar and you can set up wifi.
DONE!
Epilogue:
Now you can format the sdcard to use as a storage card in your nook.
To boot into recovery in the future (in order to update to a newer cm7 build/new kernel or make backups) simply hold down power and then choose reboot - recovery from the menu.
If you want to *gasp* restore to stock 1.2.0 flash nemith's stock image (update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip) from here using a recovery sdcard.
In CM7: For those looking to get a honeycomb feel to their Nook, I'd recommend this theme. Download the .apk and install it with file manager (or another of your choice), then go to the Theme Chooser app and scroll all the way left and select the theme (name/picture is broken but theme works). Once you've applied it, reboot. (Credits mad-murdock, Bawb3, haxzamatic and joenathane)
In CM7: To set your CPU/Overclock options go to Menu-Settings-CyanogenMod Settings-Performance.
CM7 for the nook color includes mad-murdock's tablet tweaks, so be sure to set up your preferences in the tablet tweak settings also found in the CM settings menu. Some apps, or you, will hide the status bar (eg watching a full screen video) so I like to set "unhide key" to home so that the N button will show the status bar again.
If you're having market problems see this thread for fixes. (Thanks jalexishg)

For more information on CM7 and latest issues/fixes/workarounds please check out the Nightly discussion thread here.
For more information on CM10 and latest issues/fixes/workarounds please check out the Nightly user discussion thread here and the development thread here.
Updating to a newer nightly build
Download latest nightly from CM and put it on the sdcard that's in the nook. Easiest way is to either download it directly on the nook itself, or download on pc and use usb drive mode to copy it to the nook sdcard.
Reboot to recovery (from power menu)
Wipe cache
Install zip from sdcard, flash the new nightly .zip
Reboot
I will try to maintain this guide with new information when needed. If anyone has any comments/suggestions feel free to suggest them below or PM me.
For additional help or just Nook Color related chat join us in #nookcolor on Freenode IRC. (if you have no idea what IRC is click here)
Information for new nook partitions
B+N have made a change as to how they partition the internal storage space on the nook. New nooks are now shipping with new partitions and you can identify these as they have a blue sticker on the box.
Old partitions: 1GB for data (i.e. apps), 5GB for media (books/music/whatever else)
New partitions: 5GB for data, 1GB for media (if you need more media space you use your sdcard)
Clockworkmod 3.2.0.1 (released 6/5/11) is now able to flash roms on the new partition scheme, however you may prefer to restore the old partition method if you like more onboard space for your own files and don't need 5GB for data (apps)
Current options for installing CM7 on the newer partitioned nook are:
1) Just follow the guide above with cwm 3.2.0.1, keep 5GB /data and 1GB /media
2) Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371 to repartition your nook into the older 1GB data/5GB media, and then go back to the top and follow my guide. If you want to repartition using the .zips in DeanGibson's thread, you can flash them using the CWM SD you make in steps 1+2 of my guide above, then go on and flash CM7.
Awesome! I was *just* starting to look for a guide for getting up to 3.0 now that school is done You rock! Perfect timing.
This needs to get pinned if it isn't! Thank you so much!
Can you include instructions how to revert to stock for those "just in case" moments?
Also, maybe include a step if a person wants to install tweaks?

CM7 has always been 2.3, not sure where you read otherwise. There's some honeycomb ports available built from the sdk as source isn't out, feel free to try them, although IMO CM7 is the most stable rom for the nook.
I tried to install CM7 on my nook color and i didnt follow the proper method and instead saved the CM7 file to the root of my sd card and installed the zip through clockworkrecovery without wiping or cache and now im stuck at the android boot screen. It isnt the CM7 skateboard android boot but rather the plain android root boot screen. If anyone could help it would be helpful thank you! IM crying right now about it

Works like a charm.

So you have 2 option.
Internal Sd and External Sd?
That would be awesome!
USB mount doesn't work. Is it me?
Recovery shows 3.2.0.0 but the app still reports it as 3.0.2.8 - is this for compatibility?
recovery works fine, thank you, but i noticed a tiny bug:
date of backup is wrong, it shows me 27.04.2011 instead of 27.05.2011
(Time & date settings on phone are correct of course ...)

yep. same thing (like at 3.1.0.1)...
just made a nandroid restore and recovery can't mount /boot during restore.
It's probably why we can't ( for exemple ) flash a CM rom ( after nandroid stock rom ) play with it and if you want to return to stock rom using your backup you get a bootloop
Quite common (and annoying), that. Happens each time I've restored a CM NANDroid, have to restore, then reflash CM.
hi. just a noob question
can i use this recovery to flash all the roms for the optimus 2x. like modaco, cm7 and other modaco based custom roms. ?
i been reading the forums and there are so many recoveries. im kinda confused.
Yes you can.
There are only 2 types of recovery in reality, this type (external SD) and the one I built for internal SD use. If you're not sure what you need, pick the external one (unless you don't have an SD card).
bit of a noob..but cant seem to be able to install it. can someone give me a guide to install this with a mac thanks in advance

The Very Corrected CM7 & Stock 1.2 Dual Boot Guide

Hello Nookers,
I myself and pndo1 of XDA have posted guides for dual booting CM7 and Stock 1.2. My first one was crappy, my second one was a little less crappy, and pndo1's was pretty good, but had too many steps. So yeah, I decided to clear this up once and for all. Alright, enough of that garbage, let's get on with the guide!
0. Make a CWM sd card using these instructions.
1. Download CM7 to your sd card. I recommend the latest version from here. Also, if you would like to overclock download this. Lastly, if you would like to remap Volume + and - to Menu and Back, download this too. Also, your gonna want (duh) have a copy of Nook Color Stock 1.2. This one is the best in my opinion. Also, if you would like to root Stock 1.2, get this. Now get gapps from here. Almost! Download thishere. And now the multiuboot! Grr... this is tiring... but lasties! Get it here. Put ALL the files you downloaded on your SD Card.
1. Boot into CWM. Go into Backup+Restore and create a backup. Then go into Mounts+Storage and unmount the sd card. Put in an MicroSD reader in your computer. Navigate to /sdcard/clockworkmod/ and find the backup. Copy it to your computer. You can now delete it from the SD Card. Put the SD Card back in the nook. Go into Mounts+Storage and hit "Mount sd card" Now from the same place, wipe system, data, and cache. Now go to the root menu (hit the power button once). Hit "Install zip from sd card" then "Choose zip from sd card" Select prep.dualboot.zip. Then redo the choose zip Select your downloaded 1.2 Zip. It should be called "update_nc_stock_1.2_keepcwm.zip" Flash that. Now wait for it to install. Reboot your Nook. It will boot and will ask you to setup the Nook. Set it up but if you don't have wifi, follow these instructions. After setting up, boot back into CWM using your sd card.
2. Now Choose the zip from sd again, but select ManualNooter. That will take one minute to flash. Reboot again. Make sure your root is setup. To confirm, download an app from the market. Any app.
3. Once that is done, boot back into CWM. Flash the zip "eclair-to-dualboot-0.2.zip" It will duplicate Stock 1.2 to the Second partition. Now go into Mounts+Storage, and wipe system+data+cache. Now choose zip again, but this time pick CM7. Then Choose again, pick GAPPS. Then anything else, like that KeysMod or OC kernel. Now flash Multi-Uboot-0.3.zip. Now reboot without holding anything. It should boot CM7. Reboot, but this time hold the home button. BAM! Stock 1.2. Hope it worked for ya!
To those whom it doesn't work:

I had the same problems as everyone else is reporting on this thread. I did this on Tuesday without the benefit of this guide but with the help of other two mentioned in the OP.
So after talking to iKingBlack via PM, I tried it again yesterday. And here is the exact sequence of events in case it helps anyone.
Install removal script for dual boot found in these forums
Install stock 1.2 from the link mentioned in OP
Boot 1.2 and register the device
Sleep 7.5 hours and then chat with iKingBlack
Install manual nooter, then the apk enabler
Boot 1.2 to check root access
(no boot from now on)
Install prep dual boot
Install eclair to dual boot
Format system, data and cache
Install CM7 nightly
Install gapps
Install multi boot
Reboot holding N and check stock works as it used to
Reboot normally, check CM7 works and set it up
Since then I have used both partitions successfully.

@GirLuvsDroid for the feedback and testing
@GabrialDestruir for 1.2 Manual Nooter
@Koush for ROM Manager and CWM Flashes
@yellowguy for telling us to flash prep.dualboot
@Anyone else who helped but escapes my mind at the moment
@pndo1 (Who has moved on to better things than our little NC's... aka Flyer) for this orignal project
I've been wanting to dual boot my NC for a while now, but I've read several sets of instructions and kept getting twisted up in them. I was also concerned that having a dual boot would make it difficult to impossible to continue installing the CM7 nightlies and the latest Dal kernels.
These instructions look really clear and easy to follow and I thank you for that!
I just want to clarify my understanding: both CM7 and stock 1.2 are run from eMMC, correct? And, because stock 1.2 is on the second partition, it's just business as usual to install the nightlies and the latest kernel on the first partition, right?
Again, thanks for taking the time to rework your instructions again. Your contributions are much appreciated!
Why a special uboot? Stock cm7 uboot (based on bn 1.2) already does multiboot... (hold down n on boot for info) and dalingrin's nook tweaks lets you set up default options from prefs menu...
That said, I didn't read the instructions carefully so maybe there's a reason...
@GirLuvsDroid Your welcome, and yes both run from the emmc. Flash nightlies and kernel like anything. Just nothing to the dual boot partition.
@fattire For me the CM7 Alternate boot option hangs. But again, that's me.
I may have just missed it, but I didn't see where in the instructions to download the Multi-Boot-Uboot-0.3.zip file.
I found and downloaded v0.4 file from this thread

and it doesn't quite work right. It boots CM7 fine, but it hangs on the Nook 'N' screen when booting into stock 1.2. I'm not sure if that's because of the v0.4 multi-boot file, or because of something else I did wrong. (It did boot into stock 1.2 correctly at the point where you said it would in the instructions).
Any thoughts, or the link to the v0.3 multi-boot zip and I'll flash that to see if it corrects the problem.

MH, it's the link in the OP that says this: "Last one (yes, really!) here." It's not the Multi-Boot-Uboot-0.3.zip but the eclair-to-dualboot-0.2.zip.
Disgregard this post -- I'm an idiot and apparently blind, as well.
Thanks GLD.
I'll reflash that one (I flashed both, just like the directions said ) and see if that makes it behave better.

I must be blind -- I don't see where it says to flash both. I only see the eclair-to-dualboot in the instructions.
Nevermind -- I found it. It's the last step. I stand corrected and I'm glad I do because I'm planning to do this when I get home from work tonight. Thanks for setting me straight!
Reflashing the eclair to dualboot wasn't the answer, now is doesn't even TRY to boot the stock 1.2.
Now where did I leave that drawing board....
I found the download link for the Multi-Boot-Uboot-0.3.zip:
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...dified u-boot.bin based on B&N 1.2 source
GLD, if anyone tells you that you're not a goddess, you tell them that I said you are.
Of course, that didn't solve the problem. (sigh)
I ran the entire routine again, and this time used the v.03 multi-boot that you found, same problem. It will boot into CM7 just fine, but it hangs up when booting into stock.
ahhhhhh, that's just so sweet, MH!
I just went through the whole process myself and everything went perfectly right up until I tried to boot into stock 1.2. Exactly like you, it hangs on the N and won't boot up. CM7 boots just fine, though.
Well, at least I know it's not just me.
By any chance, have you run the app that changes your Nooks RAM from 'new way' to 'old way'? (1gb data, 5gb apps).
I have, I wondering if that has something to do with it (just fishing of course, it's not like I actually KNOW anything).
Yes, I had a blue dot NC that I repartioned, but I did it using the custom partition (around 2GB data).
Well, multi-boot link added.
Oh, to those whom it doesn't work (stuck on N), try flashing 1.2 zip and manual nooter without rebooting and then eclair2dualboot then wipe system,data, and cache. Then flash cm7 and goodies. Not one reboot. Try it and only then say if it works or doesn't.
I'll try this no-boot method when I get a chance tomorrow. One question for you -- assuming I get this to work, is there any reason I can't restore /data from the CWM backup of my original setup that I made before I started the dual boot process?
I get the same result with the no boot method. CM7 boots fine, Nook stock hangs on the 'N' screen.
I had the same problems as everyone else is reporting on this thread. I did this on Tuesday without the benefit of this guide but with the help of other two mentioned in the OP.
So after talking to iKingBlack via PM, I tried it again yesterday. And here is the exact sequence of events in case it helps anyone.
Install removal script for dual boot found in these forums
Install stock 1.2 from the link mentioned in OP
Boot 1.2 and register the device
Sleep 7.5 hours and then chat with iKingBlack
Install manual nooter, then the apk enabler
Boot 1.2 to check root access
(no boot from now on)
Install prep dual boot
Install eclair to dual boot
Format system, data and cache
Install CM7 nightly
Install gapps
Install multi boot
Reboot holding N and check stock works as it used to
Reboot normally, check CM7 works and set it up
Since then I have used both partitions successfully.
@GLD Yes, I think you can restore safely.
@yellowguy You don't need prep dual boot because eclair2dualboot already takes care of that. And if my instructions didn't work, try yellowguys, a slightly refined method.

How to install TWRP custom recovery (no MCU updates possible afterwards)

pakidermo5000 said:
Ok, I need some help here to understand pretty basic things. I think I am trying to do the wrong thing. I get into bootloader mode. I get the black screen and detection of "class for rockchip" in device manager.
Now, I want to flash TWRP. My idea was to get into bootloader mode and use ADB to flash TWRP. But, I cannot connect to HuiFei when in bootloader mode because adb does not see any device.
Instead, if I boot the unit and use Wifi ADB, then I can connect to the unit.
So, should I flash TWRP through wifi ADB with the unit booted, or should I do it through bootloader mode? I could probably do it via recovery, but I do not really know how (just do update from sd card and select the TWRP I downloaded from 1-2-hak ?) otherwise, how do I do it if my adb does not detect any device?
sorry for the basic questions, but it is the first time I am doing this...

You dont need bootloader to flash TWRP. You just need to know how to get there if something goes wrong.
Check this link http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....itions-from-android-No-PC-needed-For-rockchip
get the flash_image from the link.
the get your wifi adb going
do a
adb push flash_image /sdcard/flash_image
adb push TWRP_KGL-7650G /sdcard/TWRP_KGL-7650G
then i go to adb shell
usually just cp them to dev
cd /sdcard
cp flash_image /dev/flash_image
cp TWRP_KGL-7650G /dev/TWRP_KGL-7650G
then flash it
/dev/flash_image recovery /dev/TWRP_KGL-7650G
then if you want to test
reboot recovery
you will need an mouse attached.
I am gong to see if I can get the touch working in this when I get my unit back.
Do a backup of the whole system in TWRP.
Then you are pretty well set.
Not sure if you need original recovery to update new MCU.images. When i uploaded mine I just flashed back the original recovery in the same way.
You can back up the original recovery by the steps in the link above. Which is good to have a complete copy of what you have now before tinkering too.
Hope that helps.
v3 with init.d support!
Here are v3 images for both screen resolutions in both KGL and KLD variants:
KVV_KitKat_XRESxYRES_yymmdd_rooted_light_reparted_init.d_v3:
rooted:
- ClockworkMod's Superuser apk, su binary and root daemon (root daemon needed on 4.3+ roms)
reparted: (seems popular these days )
- system reduced from 768MB to 512MB
- oem reduced from 128MB to 64MB
- data increased from 1GB to 3GB
- internal sd in now a bit less than 4GB
removed apks:
- Gmail2 (available on Play Store)
- Maps (available on Play Store)
- GoogleSearch (available on Play Store)
- VoiceSearch (included in GoogleSearch on Play Store)
- Talkback (available on Play Store)
- Google TTS and its libs and files (available on Play Store)
- Adobe Reader and its libs (available on Play Store)
- Instructions (surely useless, not relevant and badly translated from chinese...)
- Chinese and Japanese Keyboards (also removed their libs that are now useless)
- Navgear (just a stupid shortcut to the selected nav app in settings...)
updated/added apks:
- Google Play Store (updated to latest version)
- Google Play Services (updated to latest version with libs correctly installed so no more Google Play Services errors! Fixed on 1024x600 v3.1 thanks to @ESTIMULO)
- Browser bookmarks sync adapter (added, missing in KLD and KGL)
- Google calendar sync adapter (added, missing in KGL)
- Google contacts sync adapter (added, missing in KGL)
modded:
- init.d support added (late in boot process so every external storages are mounted), you can drop your scripts to /etc/init.d (chmod 755)
- added compatibility symlinks for storage mount points (it may fix issues with apps using hard-coded path to access sdcards and usb, if not it won't hurt anywway!)
- flash_image binary by Androtab, with dump_image and erase image symlinks to flash/erase/dump full partitions (dump_image return an error at the end but you can ignore it, dump is valid)
IT WILL WIPE YOUR DATA AND INTERNAL SD so backup first!
Please note that 1024x600 versions are untested as I don't own such a device but it's modded the same way so it should work flawlessly.
Updated TWRP image
This is an updated Team Win Recovery Project image based on 2.7.0.0 by Abdul from freaktabs (most credits goes to him! )
Updated fstab to new KK part scheme (was mounting kpanic and oem instead of system and internal sd)
updated kernel, modules and config files (full SElinux support)
Still no touchscreen you have to use a mouse. I've spent days trying to make touchscreen work but no luck, I'm starting to think that touchscreen is handled by mcu which then emulates a touch device or some weird things like that...
Now with a 1024x600 image
Please note that 1024x600 version is untested as I don't own such a device but it's Updated the same way so it should work.

How to flash recoveries back and forth to backup/restore data over flashes
Install Jack Palevich's Terminal Emulator for Android from Play Store and use a root explorer to save the apk file to your sd card or usb storage.
Download flash_image binary and use a root explorer to copy it to /system/bin and change permission to 755 rwxr-xr-x (if you are on one of my modded fw it's already installed you can skip this step).
Launch Terminal Emulator and type su to gain root, then type cd /path/to/recovery/folder, then type flash_image recovery twrp.img
You now have twrp installed, type reboot recovery to reboot to twrp.
In twrp use a mouse and go to backup menu to backup data (do not backup to internal sd it will be formatted by update).
Now reboot to system and place update.img at the root of you external sd or usb storage but don't update if prompted
Launch Terminal Emulator and type su to gain root, then type cd /path/to/recovery/folder, then type flash_image recovery recovery.img
You now have standard recovery installed, type reboot recovery to reboot to recovery.
Now you can flash update.img from the menu using power button.
When back into Android use backed up Jack Palevich's Terminal Emulator for Android apk to reinstall it quickly without having to set up google account.
Launch Terminal Emulator and type su to gain root, then type cd /path/to/recovery/folder, then type flash_image recovery twrp.img
You now have twrp installed, type reboot recovery to reboot to twrp.
In twrp use a mouse and go to restore menu to restore data.

Just a quick update.
I have copied over multiple different SU using TWRP to my stock 1024 x 600 4.4.2 unit. All them result in the same thing. Superuser not being able to use it. I have confirmed its there, messed with permissions on su and the system folders.
On thing I noticed through the TWRP command line is that SELinux is enabled. So thinking I might to research that to figure out if I need to do anything to get around that.
Back to the drawing board.

I've updated the twrp image for 1024x600 with 100% scaling factor so it should fit the whole screen now. Grab it HERE if you want to try.
Why don't you just flash a superuser zip from twrp, it will take care of the files, permissions and starting the daemon for you. You can grab ClockworkMod's superuser installer here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip
Note:
You can get required files here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3FXCUVt554Mb1Nnai14eWM2cWc/edit
This is not provided by me! I copied the link from @pakidermo5000's old OP-Post
With TWRP MCU-Updates are no longer possible!
Normally you do not need TWRP as any custom roms can and have to be flashed using original recovery

"Twrp image" Link is dead
Guy I know this is bringing up a thread from the dead but a question. I did install TWRP but my issue is when in TWRP to do a backup it is only backing up about 60MB of data even w/ all partitions chosen. It shows 0MB in data, is there a way I can back up the entire ROM like you can do on my android based phones w/ TRWP or CM recovery? Also I've read how to switch to stock recovery but whenn I go to TWRP and backup it just backs up TWRP backup files (ext4.win) no .img file is created. I think I just need a copy of the stock recovery.img and then i'd be golden. Am I wrong? If im not, does anyone know where I can find that?
Thanks
Dave

Must appreciated man, it was perfect. It seems TWRP is pretty much useless on these devices for bare metal backup/recovery like they are on phones.

If you must here is a website where I got it (although not much you can do with it) be sure to have a mouse as the touch screen doesn't work. If you need to revert, which you will if you plan to update you will need to find a copy of the stock recovery.

rollback recovery stock
Hi.
Do you have any idea how to get back to the recovery stock version? I installed the TWRP under Rk3188 Stereo Card, it works fine but at the time of updating the file upgrade.img does not work.
Thanks you for your help.
I have a post on this somewhere. Search for it but here is what I have documented. Here is the joying stock recovery if that'll help you. https://www.dropbox.com/s/h5o46v24911nbsp/Joying stock recovery.img?dl=0 Same process as my post on installing TWRP on these except you use this image.
Dave
Ok, let me get this straight...
1. With TWRP you can't flash mcu.img (but you can flash update.img? how does this exactly work? how do I flash an update.img from TWRP? or do I lose the ability to flash update.img as well?)
2. The ROMs do not come with recovery images and overwrite TWRP? I thought they did, like other ROMs...
