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, I have a G1 rooted with the SuperD 1.9.3 Rom, I never partitioned my SD card or anything like that. I want to upgrade my SD Card and partition it to get Apps2SD and keep the same Rom. I am not sure what steps to take...

Which recovery do you have? If you don't yet, make sure to upgrade to Amon_Ra latest. Once you have that, reboot into recovery, select partition card and follow directions on screen. This will wipe your card completely so backup anything you want to save. It will not affect your rom in any way. You may have to move your existing apps manually, not sure.
How do i know what recovery i have? Do I partition my current sd card or the new one?
So I do not need to reflash the Super D?

You would boot into recovery and look to see which one you have, it will say it right on top. You will partition your new card. Absolutely no need to reflash your rom, it will recognize your ext partition and install all future apps in it automatically. As I said, I'm not sure about existing apps, you may need to move them manually.
It says Android Sysem Recovery Utility Build: JFv1.42 There is nothing that says Partition SD or anything like that... Now my rom is on my current sd card if I don't flash it to the new one my phone still knows what rom I have? Sorry about all the questions thanks for your help =)
I was thinking of doing this to install Amon RA's recovery img
I got it from another forum in here....
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
select console from the menu
#mount -a (this can give back an error if you don't have an ext partition, don't worry about it and just proceed)
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img
JF's recovery does not have that option because it's really, really, really old. We did not even have apps to sd back then.
Flash RA's recovery (directions seem right, I assume you got them out of RA's thread), you'll see the difference: many more options, etc
Good luck.
Ok, so I am going to do the following steps....
1. Flash Amon Ra's recovery image
2. Reboot phone
3. Get into recovery again
4. Back up my sd card on the computer, remove sd card from phone
5. Insert new sd card, partition sd card
6. Transfer files from old sd card including update.zip which is the rom
7. Reboot phone
Let me know if I'm missing something thanks for all your help!
I'm going to do this over the weekend...
Ok, so I got the new Amon RA recovery image but haven't done anything else...lol. So can you tell me if those steps are right? And why don't I need to flash the rom again...I currently have it on my sd card...I'm a bit confused
1. Reboot to recovery. Partition your card (I suggest 512mb for ext partition, rest is fat, follow instructions within recovery).
2. Upgrade ext to ext3.
3. Reboot (your phone will move your existing apps onto sd.) It may take a while to fully boot, just give it 10 min or so.
4. In terminal emulator type
Code:
su
fix_permissions
5. Reboot again.
5. Transfer whatever you had on your old sdcard (music, pics, etc) onto your new card.
As far as flashing the rom again.... why? Your OP says you want to keep your existing rom.
To check if your apps were moved:
In terminal:
Code:
su
ls /system/sd/app
ls /system/sd/app-private
ls /system/sd/dalvik-cache
Should give you print-out of what you have on ext partition of your sdcard (or you can use root explorer or whatever other file manager, I'm a bit old shool so I prefer terminal or adb)
5. Reboot again.
5. Transfer whatever you had on your old sdcard (music, pics, etc) onto your new card.
Okay in step 5. Reboot again do I just type in the terminal emulator reboot or reboot recovery?
Also when you say "transfer whatever you had on your old card..." Do I also transfer the file that says update.zip?
Sorry for all the questions, I should be getting my new sd card today and will try it out tonight.
Thank you.
You just type reboot.
It is up to you what you want to transfer onto your new card. I assume that update.zip is your current rom. If so, it's nice to have just in case but it will not make any difference in how the phone works. It's just an install file that you use once (unless, of course something goes terribly wrong and we all have been there ) but it's nice to have all tools needed on your card so you can quickly recover from any problems.)
BTW, with your new shiny recovery (RA1.7), you don't have to rename your files to update.zip. You can name them whatever you want (i.e Super-D1.9.3.zip, Recovery.zip) and, if you decide to reflash something, at least you will know what it is. Your new recovery will let you choose which file to flash so you can have more then one .zip file on your card if you want.
Ok so I still haven't gotten my new card! It should be here next week...Anyways I tried using switchrom to store my current just in case but I get this error Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)
Any clues why I'm getting this do I need to have my phone connected by USB or something to a computer....?
Thanks hopefully I'll stop asking so many questions...I tried this solution but no luck

I don't know if my solution is the ultimate solution or not but you guys can give it a try.
problem :
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)"
In the Android System Recovery, select "USB-MS Toggle". It will enabled/disable the feature. Do it one more round and it will solve the problem.
It's telling you that it can't mount SD card.
Back up all of your stuff from SD card, format it and try again, that's the only thing I can think of.
Actually, I just ended up doing a Nandroid Backup just did Nandroid not Nandroid +ext since I don't have this card partitioned...it is backed up!
Ok buddy its easier if you do the whole process through the sdcard
First you should backup everything on your sdcard and do a BART or NAN+EXT then partion your card and restore your BART or NAN+EXT and your good to go
If this does not work press my name and look at my threads because I ask this same quetion a while ago
Post again if this does not work

Hi, I tried doing a Nan+ext backup but I got this error : Run nandroid-mobile.sh via console I also tried doing a Bart backup and it also said Run Bart via console...
So I just did a regular Nan Backup...I don't have my current sd card partitioned...should I partition it so I can do the Nan+ext I currently have a 2gb card and it doesn't have a class number.... Maybe I should format my card?
Thanks!
Ohh ok I see ur problem it won't let u backup nand+ext if you don't have a ext
since you backed up already go ahead and throw the nandriod and any other files on sd card to your pc the format your sd create the app partion and swap partion make sure u formate it ext3 or ext4 depending on what ur rom uses put the nandroid back on sd after format and restore post if it works or not
If this don't work just reverse the process put nad back on pc format card to what is was before then put nand back on sd and restore

OK so I partitioned my current memory card =) and was able to succesfully do a nandroid +ext...so now when I get my new card I just have to go into recovery and do a nandroid restore and transfer all my files right? Thanks
Remember to partion your sdcard before transfer

Ok so I tried switching my cards and formatted my new card,paritioned it, transfered the files from my other sd card, and tried to a nandroid restore...that's when I get the same error as before to do it from console.
I tried taking all the files out and repartitioning the sd card doing everything again no luck. Reflashed my rom and turned it on after it boots like normal I get a black screen. So just went back to my old sd card was getting force closes so did nandroid restore it said it did but would boot normal and get force closes.
So I reflashed my rom and reinstalled everything manually...from sd card as my market disappeared got it back after reinstalled it...
Any suggestions as I really want a bigger capacity memory card....=/
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.
Like the title says, when I try to create a backup clockwork does the following:
Backing up boot...
Backing up system...
Can't mount /system!
I'm about to try dual boon on internal and want to make sure I can restore stock if I need to.
I'm rooted using autonooter 3.
I've got the same problem, which I haven't solved yet. But I did come across this (which I haven't tried): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11868531
I had the same problem. Backup works with clockwork 3.0.0.5, but not with 3.0.1.0. Run rommanager and choose book color (old) when choosing the recovery to flash.
Try going into rom manager and reflashing the clockwork recovery, but this time select the opposite of whatever you selected before. For me, I have Rom Manager 3.0.1.3 on an autonootered 1.1, but the first time, I select "Nook Color". I went back and reflashed and this time selected "Nook Color (old)" and that did the trick.
Found one answer here: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/nook-color-technical/10099-backup-error-think-im-worrying-nothing.html. Sounds like the solution is just try opposite of what you did the first time. I noticed the flash was to clockwork 3.0.1.0 until I did "old", and then it was 3.0.0.5.
Unfortunately, after doing that, it will only boot into clockworkmod recovery now...sigh
KEY POINT!! REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM AFTER THE CMW FLASH!!!
If you don't you end up in a boot loop, like me!!
If you end up in the boot loop, go get the CWR-removal.zip file (I got mine from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690 and use it to remove the recovery flash.
I don't know if you can do it from that boot by dropping the file on the sd card and installing it (I'm assuming so), but I had a spare bootable CMR I used, just to be safe.
Then go back in, reflash the recovery in rom manager AND REBOOT!!!
If you were on B&N 1.1.0 and then did autonooter 3.0 to root your NC, you absolutely MUST do a complete power off/on between the steps -Flash Recovery and -Boot into Recovery.
If you do not, you will get stuck in a boot loop. In which as stated above you will need to use a bootable SD, flash the 'remove cwr', and then install again.
And for the 'can't mount /system' issue while trying to do a backup - it's likely because you are on a non-ext4 rom (ie CM7) and you picked the 'Nook Color' device when you flashed recovery per the install instructions. Funny thing is, it won't work. Go back into ROM Manager and flash recovery again but select 'Nook Color (old)' and then power off, power back on, reboot into recovery and you will be able to complete a nand backup.
Be sure to document your situation and post it to the Official CWR 3010 thread in the Dev sub-forum and maybe we can get an answer or a fix from the devs.
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 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
