Titanium? Is there a way to nandroid? Does CWM work on stock rooted (i.e. no nookie froyo)?
I used an sd card to get auto-nooter. It's the only sd card I have, so I'll neeed to reformat that for Titanium to work. I have the Pro versions but without an sd card, it doesn't give me any back up options.
From what I've gathered there are pros and cons to CWM but I'm not sure I understand if what I will lose if I stay on stock rooted v. going to nookie froyo.
I used root explorer to change the file names so that (hopefully!) I will not get the 1.1 ota. But I have no backup at all and like the set up I have now.

We can install nookie froyo on an SD card and run without ever rooting the nook. What I'm wondering is whether I can access the nook's internal memory from that SD-card-booted froyo in order to install apps (also without ever rooting the device)
I want to keep my nook as close to untouched as possible, but I'd like to get some apps on there as well.
Thanks!
I don't believe this is possible. The stock ROM unrooted doesn't include much. Are you just trying to get access to your purchased books? They should carry over without issue
You can access the internal memory but I'm not sure that they'll show up once booted back into stock.

To clarify, I'm not trying to read from my NC's internal memory but rather write to it. What I'd like to do is boot up into nookie froyo from SD card (which I can do already) and then mount the internal memory, copy over an app and set its permissions to make it executable. Then I'd remove the SD card, boot into stock ROM and execute the program (Angry Birds comes to mind)
now I realize I'll prolly get the lynch mob soon after i post this... being that all the research is over in the dev section, but my question is fairly complicated and i cant seem to find a direct answer from my own reading.
now i have root on my NC and i would love to put a custom recovery/rom on my NC. could any one point me in the right direction to get me started loading a custom recovery? i dont want to run froyo off of an SD card i would love to have it just be a giant version of my phone(I'm sorry if that's asking to much)
i learned and pushed myself to do it a while back on my EVO 4g when i saw there was a rom with wimax capability's and that was my first time rooting anything. I do on the other hand work as a sprint instore service and repair tech. so all of this reading isnt completely lost on me.
and my second question. when i booted my nook back up after i let the battery die, all my setting and apps were gone. any one know anything about it?
thank you for any answer, and I'm very sorry about my spelling and grammar, i know it sucks >.<
i think my biggest confusion/hangup so far has been the custom recovery not sure if i have this right or not but. these are the steps (i think) i need to take.
1. aquire root. [check]
2.custom recovery.[?]
3.custom kernel.[?]
4. custom rom.[?]
So what you want to do is flash a custom rom? You would just download a CWM sd card image. Burn that image to your SD card. Then, grab the rom you want, such as nookie-froyo, or whatever. Copy that zip to the SD card.
Put the SD card into your nook, then reboot. It should boot into CWR and from there you can just flash the zip. The same thing with a custom kernel, just copy the zip onto your CWM sd card, reboot, and flash the zip.
I'm not sure if that is what you are asking, though.
I've actually figured it all out finally. is there any way to see what my CPU is running at?
The speed of your NC can be done by downloading 2 free apps in the market:
Linpack for Android
Quadrant Standard
The Linpack app will tell you how many MFLOPS (Millions of Floating Point Operations Per Second) and Quadrant will give you a score to benchmark for CPU, I/O, and graphics. They will also give you as a reference how you compare to other devices.

So I'm new to Nook. In fact it's still being shipped for the wife, lol. Little that she knows, it's getting nootered before it even gets in her hands.
I've rooted phones and flashed custom ROMs.
From what you're saying above, does CWM reside solely on the SD card? That's different than a mobile phone. So any time we need to install a custom ROM (even the first time), we'd have to boot using the SD Card that has CWM, right? Of course I'd have to root the nook first.
following should really go into a different thread:
So whats the best ROM? So many out there. I just want to be able to use all google apps and market (for kindle app).
Thanks in advance.

You can still install Clockwork from the market and it'll run of the NC without an SD card. I've done it. But for the installation of CM7 (something to do with EXT4? I don't even know what that means...) CWM on an SD was necessary.
On what the best ROM is. Well, looking in the general section subsection here it looks like a lot of people are on rooted stock 1.1. I tried Froyo and it was cool and all, but I missed having the full 8GB of storage on the nook. I haven't tried Honeycomb yet, so no idea on that one. I currently have CM7 nightly 8 on my NC and really like it. I may not have all the storage space still (they're working on it) but it's snappy and sleek.

Why don't you do an Nook Color 1.2 sd version ?
meee 2
I second that request, would like to experiment with 1.2 without having to mess up my CM7 install.
I third the request, request passes
I am very interested in this thing you speak of in this thread
You could just do a full backup in Clockwork Recovery, then flash 1.2 and play around. Once your board use an Bootable SD Clockwork and restore from your backup. Should work ok like that with no loss of data or anything.
Backup FULL CARD CM7
I have created CM7 bootable SD for my Nook Color. Of course the partitions other than boot are not seen by windows. They ARE seen in Manage Computer but you cannot do anything with them.
Is there a program that will let me save an image of the ENTIRE card including these partitions other than the boot so that I have a backup of all my downloaded apps and data?
I would rather do this on my Windows machine rather than try to learn the process of clockwork or what ever it is that runs on Android as I do not have that on the card and until I do and learn more about it a windows image creator would make me more comfortable.
Is this even possible?
Thanks.
I realize Titanium backup and Clockwork do a backup but the backup is on the SD card , right? The SD card is really what I am trying to back up so that seems to make no sense? I would like to back up to my Windows harddrive or another SD on my PC.
I searched and still can't find an answer. I have 1.3 stock, and installed cm7 .177 nightly on an sd card. Installed correct gapps and installed Titanium Backup, but when I open Titanium it only shows the overview tab, no backup/restore tab. I'm trying to revert back to the old market so it will work correctly, and I've already done this with mine and I'm trying to make it work on my wife's. As far as I can tell I followed the exact same steps with hers as I did with mine, the only difference is she only has a 1 gb card in her nook and I have an 8 gb card in mine.
I think you need to touch the menu softkey then go to batch there you will see every posible action.
I tried that and it tells me "system requirements are not met". Looking at mine compared with my wifes, Titanium sees my SD card but doesn't recognize hers. In her settings, when I tried to mount the SD card it says 'card error' and may need to format. Is it because the card is only 1 gb that titanium isn't working?

I think you answered your own question. There is no room for a backup....
Before I rooted my X8 my SD memory card had at least 1.3/ 1.4 GB space on it, which I am definatly sure about, but after the root it says that I have no space on it at all.
What gives, any ideas on how to fix it?
Copy all files to PC, format it in fat16 and copy files back.
Probably you have some errors on card.
Thanks! Hope that, that's the case.
It wasn't the case :L Something has taken up all the space... Could it have been the backup that Titanium Backup did? And how do I get rid of it?
The backup that is.
Just browse SD and delete you thing is unnecessary. Just make backup first
I don`t think that TB can make so big backup.
Don't take this the wrong way, but, rooting has nothing to do with the SDCard. Can you tell us exactly what is it you did until you've discovered that you lost the space on the SD?
beacuse, my theory is that after you rooted, you went and tried to install a new ROM, and consequently made a backup of the previous ROM. that's around 200MB, add the ROM you were planning to install plus another backup...
I havent changed the ROM on my phone yet. I havent got the confidence to yet. All I have done is rooted my phone using superoneclick, downloaded and installed titanium backup and apttek app manager, and then did a full backup using TB. After that I then noticed I had no space left on my sd card.
It doesnt matter as such now as I just bought a 4Gb card.
That is strange. Try exploring the card in windows. Might find out what's taking up space.

Did you select "charge phone" when prompted to plug the phone in super one click? You may have mounted the SD card and that might be the problem.
Yes, I did everything the tutorial told me to do :L
