Hi there, just want to make this post as i have no seen anyone made on for it.
I autonootered 1.0.1 then install 950mhz then installed the 1100 mhz. It was running beautifully but this morning it was stuck on "Touching the Future of Reading", really confused here :S
I dont mind if i have to do a complete wipe, but in the future what program should i use to backup?
and should i upgrade to the new auto nooter 1.1.0 ?
Thanks
and one more question, i couldn't get pinch to zoom to work on 1.0.1
Do you have clockwork mod on your nook? If so, or if you have root pack, format cache, and wipe davlik cache.

i have clock work mod on my SD card,
just tried it and it didn't work,
when formatting cache i got an error saying
Cache Wipe complete
E:Cant mount cache/recovery/log
E:Cant open cache/recovery/log
E:Cant mount/cache/recovery/last_log
E:Cant open/cache/recovery/last_log
any suggestions? right now i just want to completly restore it then root it as it seems like the easier way?
oh i see format cache in the mount and storage, did i do the wrong one :O
and it didnt work when i cleared the formated the cache from mounts and storage either HELP
i bought and rooted my nook last night, went to make a backup in rom manager and got a "touch the future of reading" loop. it wouldnt boot into recovery, or anything else. i took the bootable clockwork recovery, put it on an sd card, and used that to boot into recovery, cleared dalvik, cache, and did a data/factory reset. my nook then booted, i auto-nootered again, and now its working fine. i had to use the nook color tools app to re-register with barnes and noble, but it seems to be running great all day. my sister is playing angry birds on it as we speak.
i held down the nook symbol and power and it went into recovery then i rebooted and IT MAGICALLY works now,
but i really want pinch to zoom on the browser, does it work in 1.0.1?
I have an NC, 1.1.0, autonooted with 3.0, CWR 3.0.0.5, & running Dalingrin's 1.1 OC kernel.
I found it off this evening, and when I plugged in the power I got the "not enough power, come back in 15 minutes message". I can back about 3 hours later to find it stuck at "Touch the future of reading", and it would do nothing else- couldn't get it to boot to recovery or anything.
I was downloading the file to bring it back to stock from Multiupload per these instructions (I'm not allowed to post links yet so Google- Maurice Mongeon recover bricked) and while I was waiting I was browsing to see if there were any other ideas.
I came upon this at NookDevs (again, can't post link so Google- nookdevs boot loops), and as I had my SD card with nooter on it still sitting around I thought I'd give it a try as I was going to blow everything away anyway. So I followed the instructions to fix the BootCnt file, and lo and behold- it booted into CWR, I told it to reboot again, and I am back right where I was, with all my apps, root, OC'd kernel etc
So thanks to them smart folks at NookDevs!- saved me a good couple of hours going back to stock and going through everything again!

Running into issues while trying to install phiremod. Went into the recovery menu, followed instructions completely, it installed fine, rebooted device and it looped me back to recovery menu (CWR wasn't burned to SD, it was installed to the Nook). A few posts recommended that I format boot too, and now instead of having the recovery menu loop, I am stuck with a unit that doesn't power on. Help!
Same problem here. Followed the instructions to the letter, and now the Nook keeps booting to the ClockworkMod Recovery screen...even with the SD-card removed.
Is it that we were supposed to do something else to the Nook before attempting the install?
By the way, I used Clockwork Recovery v3.0.0.5 from the SD-card while installing.

May try wiping cache and dalvik cache if you haven't tried that already.
OK, n00b question: what's a 'dalvik' cache?
[NQUOTE=swordsaint;11459824]OK, n00b question: what's a 'dalvik' cache?[/QUOTE]
When you are in recovery, you have the option to wipe cache on the first screen. On the advanced screen you have the option to wipe dalvik cache. I am not totally sure, but I believe it is cache that is directly related to your apps. The other is more general in nature. Wipe both.
Also WTF. USB storage wont mount in Phiremod. What kind of **** is that?
OK, guys...I finally fixed it.
1st, I used the CWR Removal tool from this thread, and then went through
the installation steps carefully again, but after the install was completed,
I removed the SD-card, THEN rebooted.
Problem solved. (Didn't need to mess with the caches though)
Happily playing Angry Birds just now just for the heck of it.
Is there any way to access the Nook's internal storage to put music,
movie files, etc?
I have been playing with HC, CM7 etc on my Nook color and decided to go back to running auto-nooker on top of stock, but I want to keep the SD CWR image I made, which has a lot of free space for me to play with future ROM. Has someone packed an CWR zip for auto-nooker?
Thanks.

LOL. Thanks.
My current ROM is phiremod nook V4.1. After flashing this and reboot. The Nook U picture flashes, then it's flashing "A N D R O I D _" prompt at the lower left and nothing...
There are three of us currently stuck on that damned android_ screen right now. As I posted in the other one if you get out of this please post your steps!
I reflashed phiremod nook V4.1. That boots pass ANDROID_.
Hmm maybe this is due to CM7 using EXT4 and stock using EXT3,
after flashing the Stock restore also try flash the Restore Boot Partition..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
At the bottom of the first post on this one you can find the Restore Boot. which restores Stock B&N boot.
I already did that. Right now as I turn it on, it displays the "Touch the Future of Reading" line instead of the "Loading..." line from CWR. Or do you think this is not sufficient?
There is message when installing repartition-boot-with-stock.zip:
"This will install stock boot 1.0.1 Eclaire --- This won't boot with Froyo!"
Can this the issue too?
EDIT: During the 5 minutes delay b/t post, I installed repartition-boot-with-stock.zip and Nook Color-v1.1.0-r2.zip, now it boots and stucked at the Nook icon with the "Contain Reader Mobile by Adobe" line.
Okay, so I restore stock image, albeit 1.0.1 using images form this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919353
Steps:
1. download/extract boot.img and system.img to bootable sdcard (with CWRv3.0.0.6)
2. boot using sdcard, mount /sdcards
3. use adb to dd the image as described in article.
4. repeat failed boot to force recovery.
I thought this would restore /system and /boot ext3 again, but it doesn't...still getting stuck at "ANDROID_" prompt after reflashing the Nook Color v1.1 above. I am going back to CM7...sigh...
EDIT: Actually, it DID work! My problem was when I reflashed Nook Color v1.1-r2.zip, I wiped system and data, which I shouldn't have.

FYI I've been in the same boat as you a couple of times now with my Nook not wanting to boot. And it seems it gets to different points each time before locking up and not booting. I'm starting to think the same thing as your comments here. This whole ext4 stuff is what seems to be causing issues for a lot of folks specially when wanting to go back to a different ROM or stock. To further compound it is the fact the newest CWR is 3.0.1.0 and all bootable sdcard files are still 3.0.0.6 or 3.0.0.5. With that said I can tell you making a backup using the 3.0.1.0 CWR that is on the internal mem and then getting stuck booting is no good. Reason being from wha tI've found so far is if you take your 3.0.1.0 backup and put it on a bootable sdcard that has 3.0.0.6 so you can restore, it does not work right from what I've found. The only way I've found to fix it easily so far is to first flash the " Remove CWR * .zip from the link posted here. After that then flash the repartition-boot-with-stock.zip file. Once I've flash those 2 files I'm able to flash a new ROM and have it boot like it should.
Another way I've got around it was to power the device on into recovery with no sdcard in the device. Once it booted into recovery ( ie CWR 3.0.1.0 ) I put the sdcard in the device that had my 3.0.1.0 CWR backup. I restored that backup using the actual 3.0.1.0 recovery from internal mem. Once finished tried to boot and it got stuck. When it did I then powered it down and fire it back up but this time booting to the sdcard and then I flashed the repartition-boot-with-stock.zip and it would finally boot up like it should.
Bottom line IMO at least is it seems to be hit or miss on what is the best way to get it back up and running after the boot partition gets hosed. And that can make it a bit frustrating.
Sorry I don't have time to read all of this. Just keep in mind that > 3.0.0.6 formats to ext4 (ie CM). For stock and froyo, use 3.0.0.5 to format to ext2 and 3..
System, data and cache need formatting before flashing a new rom.
Repartitioning boot is only useful if your NC doesn't boot.

thought 3.0.1.0 was supposed to work for everything.
Hey guys,
I had a nook and autonooted it. So i'm familiar with that process. However, I returned that nook and got a new one and decided to phiremod it. So with this brandy new nook, I:
turned it on
popped in my clockworkmod sd card
formatted /system and /data
installed phiremod 4.1 from .zip
Failed to install.
What did I do wrong? I can't even get this thing into recovery!

Make sure you are using the Newest CWR image you need to use a CWR that has EXT4 support to install CM7
CWR 3.0.1.0

Ahhh interesting...sucks that the link to it is down.
Also, my nook gets hung up at the stock "n" boot screen after following these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699

O i though you said you tried Restoring and now your not getting past boot. but yeah you cleared your system and data, so its going to hang on the N screen till you get something installed.
Let me try restoring 1.1 not 1.0.1 since mine came with 1.1
It looks like you and I are in a similar boat. If you successfully restore to 1.1 would you please post your steps for me?
I gotta try to find 1.1 restorable out there. I can't find it so far.
I haven't wiped the /boot ever. I've only formated the /system /data and /cache and also ran the . I'm wondering if my mounts are messed up?
Also, I did select "Wipe data/factory reset". Is that the prob?
I just successfully installed CM7. Maybe give that a try.
The wipe data/factory reset is the same as wiping data and cache. I'm thinking it has more to du with wiping system and then not flashing a rom properly.
But it should still boot to the SD I would think. Maybe we should try rebuilding /boot? Not that I know how to do that.
Which method did you install cm7 with?
touching /boot is the last thing I would do...

Thanks! I'll give that a shot in the morning glad you're up and running!
Can someone please explain to me the proper steps from point A to point B?
What I did was used an auto-nootered 1.01 B&N Stock rom, i downloaded an EXT-4 compatable CWR (updated it to 3.0.1 also) and then flashed CM7 (formatting system, cache) and I'm stuck in a boot loop...
I had CM7 working awesome the other day, but I guess it didn't support busybox when I installed it because then my nook stopped booting/freezing after a boot.
Can someone just create a real simple flow-chart of what I have to do? Thanks
Oh and I want to install it to the eMMC as well, although I have a class 6 sdcard I'd just much rather know its sitting on my internal and as fast as possible
Al2x,
This is what I did on my NC.
Downloaded the BOOT Only from this thread " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690 "
http://www.etoile-laconnex.com/CWR-removal.zip
Downloaded CM7 RC4.
Boot to CWM 3.0.1.0, format Boot, System, Data and Cache.
Turn off the NC, boot to CWM 3.0.1.0 again, flash the BOOT file, then flash with CM7 RC4. I also did downloaded the GAPPS and flash that as well.
Reboot, back in the game.
Hope that would help.

that seems pretty logical. what I just did was basically nootered stock 1.01 and then downloaded EXT4 bootable CWR 3.0.1.0 and formatted system, data, cache, battery stats & dalvik, and didn't touch boot.
It boots up into CM7 just fine, the only thing I've noticed is that I guess not formatting boot leaves the "power of reading" B&N boot screen up, which I don't mind at all, I used to have a nasty pixelated "LOADING" splash come up. Anyways, thanks for the help, I think I might be fine (knocks on wood)
My nook color recently got stuck on the boot screen for CM7 where the blue android text just chills out in the left corner. This happened right after my nook ran out of battery power.
I have gotten it to boot all the way into CM7 occasionally. However, it is not reliable at all, so I've tried to restore it to stock and reflash the whole thing.
I tried to do this by booting into recovery and then flashing the restore to 1.01 stock zip file, but when the nook rebooted it was still stuck on the android text. I have tried flashing everything related to restoring nooks, but to no avail.
I thought that maybe my CWR was broken, so I tried making a CWR sd card but even when I flashed the restore zip, my nook's boot still gets stuck on the android text.
What do you think I should try to do now?
You are able to boot into cwr though? If so have you tried downloading the stock image file again? Could be the file is corrupt.
I just downloaded it again and it still doesn't work.
I don't think that the problem is the zip files. I think that CWR is the problem since I've tried formatting /system and /data and tried repartitioning boot, but nothing happens...
I just tried to restore my nook to stock through ADB, but it still tried to boot into CM7. I guess that rules out CWR as the problem...
I also made an ext4 compatible CWR SD and tried the restore 1.01 zip again. This time I got past the android text and instead got to the grey android text from the rooted nook boot. However, it just sat there, stuck in a loop.
Odd, that even after wiping system and data that you'd have anything to boot into. You aren't leaving a bootable sd card in place are you?
I make sure to take out the SD card before rebooting.
Is it possible to check to see if CWR/ADB is actually writing to the correct partitions?
EDIT: I do not think that my nook is keeping any changes that I make to it...
I managed to boot into CM7 and I uninstalled a few apps and changed the max clock to 800mhz. Then I rebooted and eventually got back into CM7 and my apps magically came back and my max clock was reset to 1.1ghz.
okay that is very odd. Unfortunately I've never run into this or even read about it before. Hopefully someone here will be able to give you a tip that will help you fix this.
I've been having same issue for a week now. I tried everything I was able to find here but nothing is wokring. It seems like my nook became a read-only device. No matter what I do it goes back to previous stage.
I was running CM7 RC4 and system hung so I rebooted and that was it. It displays "Android_" on the bottm for about 10-15 sec and reboot.
I tried
CWR 3.0.0.5
- Repratition to stock nook.
- Getting error when I try to format system and data - I thought it was because CM7 was setting system to ext4.
- ADB and DD boot.img, System.img and copy Factory to mmcblk0p3
- Try to restore from back up I made
- Nothing works but goes back to boot loop
CWR 3.0.0.6 - One I got from CM7 install to emmc thread
- System format works
- Install latest nightly
- Restore from back up
- ADB can't find device - This is odd and couldn't find a way to fix it yet.
- Tried to install Stock zip but going back to CM7 boot loop
CWR 3.0.1.0
- Can't format data/system
- ADB to delete partitions and create them again but it doesn't help
- Tried all zip files to bring it back to stock - no go
- ADB to copy Factory.zip to emmc partition - umount and mount again then file I copied is gone.
- Deleted partitions and reboot but some how I got back to CM7 loop
I see people start to talking about CM7 boot loop issue. I saw this thread and man this is same issue I'm having! Let me know if you some how resolved this issue. I will do the same if I can find one.
Naw, I haven't resolved it yet...
I will post the solution if I do though!
Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but I am also stuck running RC4. Maybe there's some weird glitch in RC4 that makes the file system read only or something...?
I went from RC4 to stable with no problem. I did notice that CWR was not mounting the system and data partitions so I did have to do that when updating. Not sure why they aren't mounting automatically.

From this link you should also download the very last zip on the page. It is titled-flashable boot repartition zip. or something of the like. If you followed all these steps and still nothing, I would recommend flashing this as it can fix a completely screwed boot partition.
I had to use that last file after my hard crash. Seems that te /boot gets corrupted and tis seemed to fix it for me. After this you will probably need to do a full wipe and reinstall.
My order was...
rebuild /boot
reflash to stock
reflash to CM7

Although I think I made some kind of progress... I tried to dd stock boot.img and system.img files onto my nook and now CM7 just bootloops instead of hangs!
Hopefully we can get this sorted out soon, or else I may try what one member suggested about microwaving it so that you can get a new one...
