Hi Guys,
After a few days hacking my nook, I tried the new market for the nook, and the market wouldn't work. I did have a backup but I really wanted to get the new one working. After a few days of trial and error, (Changing permissons, reinstalling, etc.) I found this script on NookDevs-http://nookdevs.com/Enable_the_Android_Market, and wanted to see if this would get me back to stock+root with market and everything. It didn't. My nook won't boot up anymore. It gets stuck on where it has the big gray N and it says Contains Reader Mobile Technology by Adobe at the bottom. I have clockworkmod installed, so I can't take it back to the store. Any help uninstalling clockworkmod or making it boot would be appreciated. I really would hate it if I wasted money on this thing.
PS-I am on update 1.01, and adb is semi-working. I'm sure I could get it to work if I played around.
Bump...
Sure would appreciate if someone helped.
I haven't had to do it but its possible to reset it to factory. Search for "reset" in this board. Something about 8 failed boots resets it to stock.

Clockwork Mod Recovery
I have Clockworkmod Recovery installed. I tried the eight failed boots. It just takes me to the recovery.
Thanks for trying to help though. Appreciated.

Bump. Hey, does anyone think I should try Nookie Froyo?

I used Nookie Froyo to boot and get my device back to usable when it was looping like no other.
Got Nookie Froyo working, but I can't seem to find a way to remove Clockworkmod or restore the system from there. If I removed clockworkmod, I could take it back to the store and exchange it, but restoring it to factory would be even better because I wouldn't have to take it back. I took back my broken Nook charger before, and the guy wanted me buy a new one.

I don't think you can (yet). That's why they said don't use the in-work version until it's finished, unless you're ok with not being able to restore.
Well, I suppose I shouldn't, but I really wanted to be ready when the ROMS came out. Is there any way I can remove clockworkmod? I wish I hadn't installed that now. I hope I'm not screwed.
So for the past two days I've been trying to flash the new AOSP Gingerbread ROM, but although I follow everything straight from the wiki it always seems to get stuck on the HTC screen after the last reboot. Help me please!
EDIT: So I somehow got the rom to boot last night using RA recovery but after loading up a notice says Setup Wizard not being able to respond...etc, etc. Also after booting my home, call, and search buttons don't work at all. not even for other roms. PLEASE HELP!
020211 So after following instructions from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11078749&postcount=4860 i was finally able to boot CM7 fully and without problems. If you're having problems with booting aosp's gingerbread rom just use this guy's instructions (at the bottom) and you should be good to go.
Make sure u install manually through clockworkmod mod first format boot system data and cache then install the rom let it boot then reboot and install gapps without wiping and reboot then you should be good I'm using the normal clockworkmod 2.5.2 and it works great
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
okay thanks! ill try that and get back to you.
so no luck at booting. i'm still stuck at the HTC Boot screen.
i tried also and still no luck .. i hate this
to anybody having problems flashing GB, try these steps EXACTLY:
1) use clockwork 2.5.0.1 and follow the wipe/format process in the wiki
2) flash the rom then gapps
3) FLASH A CAPPED 691 KERNEL
This seems to be a continued issue, and I think it is because some phones can't handle high clock speeds like 768. The recovery currently posted by aosp (cwm 3.0.0.5) is overclocked and therefore will not boot, same with the kernel in the rom. Report back here if it works, I have already updated the wiki to advise people of this. Good Luck.
So i tried it again with the capped kernel and it still didn't work. also tried it without firerat's MOD but still a no go.
I'm upgrading aosp 2.3.2 rom from nightly build #188. Before flashing aosp rom plesae try to wipe everything like data, dalvik-cache, battery and rotate status. BTW, I'm using RA-Recovery not ClockworkMod.
i installed it after the standard wipes and thats it and its working just fine at 768 on my hero200. didnt have any issues and im loving the rom, but i am having one issue. this link is to my issue in q and a. if you can help feel free to hop on my thread and reply. other than that, i juast wanted to say this rom is great!

Well, I hate to say it but you must be missing a step somewhere. FYI in the OP for gingerbread the cwm3.0.0.5 is now capped at 691, so try that one again. Wipe both wipe options, go to mounts and format boot,system,data,cache, then gn into advanced wipe dalvik twice. Flash the rom,gapps,deca #43 capped 691 kernel, reboot. The first boot should take a while so be patient. Report back here if you can't get it, and I would recommend going into the live help room (aospbot IRC) which in the OP for GB. Good luck.
So still no luck. But I'm determined to somehow fix this no matter how many times I try!

I think you should back up your sd card and then format it in your pc. Then start all over. From the recovery on down. Skip any mods till you get booted up. Like keyboards and boot screens etc. And try the capped cwm recovery. Hope it helps good luck

Still no luck on booting aospCMod. Like they say no two heroes are the same. But that doesn't mean I'm still not going to try again and again and again (xinfinity).

Glad I could help man! Glad to see you got it worked out!
There's a readme in the Aosp 2.3.2 OP. It's right under the files, labeled README. I think it would help if anyone having trouble actually reads through this. skipping steps causes problems.
also, Factory reset skips over the /system partition. I recommend wiping /system partition if you're coming from another rom, or if you are decided to start fresh. You have to go into the partitions menu to actually format the /system partition.

This is true if you use CWM (which I do not ) but if you fastboot wipe all the partitions you will have no issues w/ RA as the OP discovered once he used the instructions that I posted.
touble with vvm
uh not quite sure if this is rite place to post this but looked better than the rest, so i got the rom running fine and it is wonderful improvement to my what use to be my wifes stock hero. Only problem is with the visual voice mail, i copied it from the stock hero before flashing, than after flashing copied it back, it works in the sense that i can see the voicemail in the app and even the voicemail to text works, but 2 things are wrong, 1 is i cant clear voicemail notification in the status bar without rebooting phone, and now she gets a text from a 9069 that tells her phone has recieved a voicemail, found a work around for the second one i blocked the number using blacklist so the text dont come thru nomore, but how i can i fix the fact that the only way to clear the voicemail notification is to reboot the phone? Any help, comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Or is there somewhere i can dl the latest sprint vvm app?? or are they device specific. Thank you in advance for any help
Ok so I have totally messed my brand new device, this is second day I have had it. I got it yesterday and first thing I did was install DeeperBlues HC v4 on my eMMC. It was easy. I had to use Autonooter first. I was on 1.0.1. Well after playing with it all night. I started to not like the functioning of apps on the platform. They were great but was in my opinion, no greater than when it was just rooted. So I decided to bring it back to stock. I accidently placed wrong sd card in it, the one with Autonooter on it. Now when it boots up it says Loading.... then I get the word ANDROID in lower left had side of screen in landscape. I am a noob when it comes to this. Now I flash and mess with my phones rom and themes and kernels all the time kind of a junkie, but this is no walk in the park.
Please can someone help me.

I think you rooted your Nook which could be a fine thing. If that's not what you want, getting it back to stock is very easy.
Here's a link: http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
The tricky part is to get the timing right so that you get the 8 failed boots (that took me a while). If it looks like it's about to boot up up, hold down the power button till it goes off (at least I think that's what I did). If you have adb installed (or install it) you can get around that.

Is this going to help me. My original firmware was 1.0.1.
Just grab the CWR 1.1 Recovery image from the development forum. Burn that onto an SD Card and reboot. Wipe data boot system cache and flash. done.
Find rootpack in dev section, write that to sd card, add the flashable restore to stock zip from samuelhalffs restore to stock thread in the dev section to your sdcard, boot to sdcard with the rootpack on it, flash the restore to stock zip after formatting system and data. Wala, fixed! All info can be found in my dummies guide to my nook won't boot a few threads down.
Thank you Thank you Thank you. This worked. I now have my Nook back. Thanks.

I picked up a Streak 7 Wi-Fi Only yesterday. I was playing around with it and tried out the honeycomb ROm posted here. Decided I wanted to go back to stock but my Nandroid backup is gone (I think it was on sdcard1 and not sdcard2). I managed to restore a stock image I found here someplace but it is the t-mo image and wifi does not seem to work. Anyone know where I can get the wifi-only stock image?

I can confirm this works!! Thanks so much op. I used this to get back from dj_steves honeycomb b3, and i did have to take a couple of extra steps. Once everything completed I was stuck at the dell logo. So I booted into recovery, to see what i could do, which was almost nothing other than clear cache etc. The internal sdcard would not mount so I couldn't put steves streakdroid 1.3 on it to try and see if it would flash. At a brick wall, I decided what the heck and I flashed the original recovery through fastboot. I rebooted into recovery and preformed a factory reset and and to my amazement was greeted with the lock screen a short while later. However, I had a notification stating that my sdcard was unformated or not the right system type. (certain on unformated cant remember the second suggestion, but i believe thats close). I went to settings>sdcard & tablet storage and pressed "format internal tablet storage", then mounted the internal tablet storage. And thats it. Back on stock 2.2.2 (wifi-only). Mega thanks op.
Thank you for confirming. Now I can try out the Honeystreak!
worked
this worked perfect for me.
i might add
i might add, that i had flashed the honeystreak in the dev section and my 7 would lock up, go to sleep (or in my case, lapse into a coma) and boot when it wanted to. had to reset with pin in the hole all the time. did this for about 3 days and said heck with it. seems to be some power issue with that flash. thanks to solidsnake66 for uploading these files. now my 7 seems to be normal again.
ok, this will help me. When I used the t-mobile backup, the partitions were different, because of the t-mobile files...I only had (I think) 11 or so GB of free memory. If I remember right, I had 12 something before. Is the .bat in this re-written to give me the 12gb, rather than the 11gb? Even if it is the WiFi files, I would like the same amount of memory I had before.
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I'm wrong, and they both use the same partitions.
Clockwordmod
Hey guys. So I used this howto to revert my dell streak 7 running on honeystreak hd7 back to android 2.2.2. Once i rebooted into the system i noticed that although in stock android, it was still rooted. While I know how to unroot, i can't get rid of clockwordmod recovery. How do i do that? I tried to uninstall the clockwordmod, but it doesn't show up under my apps. i am at my wits end. I want to send in my dell streak 7 to dell for repair, but i want it in "fresh" condition with no root or clockwordmod recovery. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do you have the stock "system" image for use with fastboot? for a wifi only streak? I can only find the tmobile one.
What I did was to an out of the box wifi only streak 7,
1. rooted with gingerbreak 1.2, renamed a couple .apks which were supposed to eliminate the cell standby battery drain.
2. restored the device to remove my google account (this device is for a friend and owned by her!!) It was stupid and I should have used her google creds first but she was not around. I didnt think it would hurt. The device was stuck at the android click to start screen and nothing I did could get it any further.
3. used fastboot to restore the system_orig.img posted by someone else, this fixed my issues, but it was a tmobile image so I am looking for the same thing system.img but in a wifi only flavor. THought you may have it.
Thanks much.
The links he gave are for Wifi version only. First download the first link then you have to get nvflash, unzip it onto your computer then unzip the files from the first link into the folder. He is advising you that you need to follow the directions on the 2nd link.

Actually, postb8822 is saying that the files in those downloads are ClockWorkMod Recovery and Rooted, not stock. The Root can be removed via Gingerbreak (I've done it, once...) but the CWR recovery images are all that I find in the files provided.
Berryblue, you said that you have a backup on an SD, right? Would you please place the recovery.img and boot.img (and system.img separate from those two perhaps) at some dropbox somewhere?
Thanks.

This person's problem and fix seem to be exactly what I need to do. But what I don't understand is the "flashed to original recovery through fastboot" part. I can run fastboot and it sees my Streak but I don't know where I would find the recovery mentioned in the quote. Right now when I try to go to the recovery menu I see what seems to be the normal streak recovery menu but when I choose either factory reset I get to some other dialog I never saw before. I take it that this is some new recovery thing which is why I should be restoring the "original recovery" as mentioned in the quote.
To follow-up on my own posting: After staring at my bricked streak awhile, I decided that the poster must have meant the restore_orig file from the other thread. So I went back and reran the sequence. First the restore of all those img files then the fast boot recovery of the original restore img file. Boot with volume + to get to restore screen. Reset and reboot. Exactly what I'd done before but this time it worked. Perhaps the fact that the drivers were already installed helped since the sequence of operations wasn't interrupted by those driver installs. Perhaps I was more careful the second time. Regardless, it worked. I'm back and running. Even have root now; saving me from downloading gingerbreak. I'd assume if someone was doing this to return their Streak that they'd want to run gingerbreak to remove root. One additional caveat here: Once booted to the main Dell window (can't remember name of the Dell launcher) I had to reformat the internal disc. Not a big deal for me since I didn't expect any of my user data to survive. But just a warning for others.

I(we) can really use the stock img files needed to flash to stock. I hope someone posts it.
ClockworkMod Recovery loop and error:-1 during solution
Sorry, I posted on the wrong section, Thanks Chemus!
The img files that mssahota1986 referenced are the t-mobile (3g/4g) images rather than the Wifi images.
However following the reposted instructions in your post shows that the t-mobile boot and recovery images can remove the CWM, which I thought was incorrect. Combined with the altered and rooted system images previously provided, I might be able to get close to stock on my wifi, since GingerBreak 1.2 was previously able to remove root from the Wifi.
If Dell ever actually upgrades to HC, I'll try the OTA updates...maybe I'll get lucky.
Still hoping for a drop of the actual WiFi stock images (apparently the System.img is necessary)
Update: No luck on combining different file versions for me. It seemed to work, but the WiFi would not turn on.

When I bought this Nook a few months back it was shipped with v 1.2. Now that I have messed it up and recovered it I'm on 1.0.1. Is there a way to get back to 1.2?
Also now my Nook says I have no storage. I have no books downloaded, it's just after the factory reset.
It says there is no storage because you are not on 1.2 or above. Just update manually through BN.

Thanks for the reply. My problem is now that when I connect the Nook to the computer (linux Ubuntu), two drives show up both named B&N eReader. Neither can be opened. I suspect it's due to the fact that it shows no storage. How do I go about upgrading through B&N?
Maybe I have to use Windows? The 1.2 version before I started tinkering was recognised by Ubuntu Linux. Any help so I don't get murdered by my 9 year old for breaking her Nook is appreciated.
So are you on 1.2 now? Try making a bootable clockwork card and flashing this.

It would help us more if we knew what you did/tried to do when messing it up... was it one of the "restore nook to stock" cwr images you used?
Try using the 8 failed boot attempts.... if you haven't messed up your recovery partition it should restore you to the version that was originally installed on your NC.
To help troubleshoot and fix it is really helpful to tell us what happened... you could also try using the cwr restore to stock 1.2 or the cwr update to 1.2 or 1.3 files.

Thanks for your reply DizzyDen. As I mentioned in the post before yours, I think I'm all OK now. I had made a bootable CM7 sd card to have stock/CM7 (without and with SD) but somehow had CWR installed on the emmc.
Then trying to upgrade to 1.3 from their website, I was not allowed. So what I had to do was to make a bootable CWR sd card, boot from the sd card and remove the CWR from emmc (used a flashable zip found on forums) and then flash a 1.0.1 image. Then I used the 1.2 update from the above link to update to 1.2 and then used the 1.3 from B&N website to upgrade to 1.3. Now I'm where I want to be but thinking about rooting again It's too much excitement but didn't have to be.
I think I must have tried to flash CWR recovery with the ROM Manager app when I had the CM7 bootable sd card in that caused all these problems. It's nice to have the bootable CWR though.

Look for the "Complete Wipe" heading.

thanks, i wonder why this isn't included in the guide sticky thread. Also, is there a simpler way to complete wipe than the 8 reboot sequence? a script?

Here's a BootCnt file and a dos batch file that will make it a LOT easier for ya if you have adb running...

Thank you. I have adb and will give it a whirl later. I'm still stcuk with trying to have a working ROM on the nook. The Phiremod7.1 which is based on CM7 seems to be working fine now but I can't get any CM7 nightlys to show any soft keys at the bottom, hence no back or notification bars. I'm going to try a stable one to see if that maybe the problem. Funny that I was able to run the nightlies when I was off of SD.
Also while I have your ear, , I'm a bit confused about this wiping and rooting business with the nook. I'd appreciate any help for me to understand it a litlle better. Excuse my ignorance.
Why can't a complete wipe be performed when booted from a CWM sd card? In the numerous phones I have rooted the sequence is easy: root, install custom recovery, nandroid back up, wipe data/system/cache/dalvik and then install a new rom. In the nook,, I still get residual from the last rom (my wifi settings, wallpaper, B&N registration info) unless I do the 8 reboot sequence. What does the 8 reboot wipe that we can't wipe any other way? What does emmc format accomplish then?
Also, how is it that I can install a rom through an SD card without ever rooting the nook?
TIA

I have only recently noticed the remnant effect of previous data... I suspect it has something to do with B&N's newest software effecting the ability to wipe the partitions... perhaps formatting the partitions first would assist.
The 8 failed boots completely re-initializes the Nook with the factory backup data stored on mmcblk0p3... there is the complete rom and device specific backup stored in zip files there.
You can install a ROM by booting off the SD because B&N set our nooks up to boot from SD first... so when you do nothing from the Internal storage is loaded upon boot... so its not in use and can easily be manipulated.
