[Q] Stuck in CWR on auto-nooter 3.0.0 - Nook Color General

I used to use pre-rooted BN 1.1.0 and can use CWR without problem. Now I installed a stock BN 1.1.0 and rooted it with auto-nooter 3.0.0 and once I reboot into CWR to flash 1.1GHz OC kernel I can not get out anymore. It will just reboot into CWR again and again. I tried to flash stock kernel but no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Create a Monster Root pack bootable CWR SD (from monster root pack thread). Then find CW-Removal.zip in this forum and copy to the sdcard. Boot the SD, which will load CWR from the bootable SD and flash the CW-removal.zip file. This will restore stock recovery on the device and make it boot again.
I couldn't get CWR to work from the device with 1.1.0. So I just use the bootable SD instead. Hope this helps!

Boots into ClockworkMod Recovery after install

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.

[Q] Nandroid Restore on New Nook Color?

I need to swap out my NC due to screen issues. I have a setup I like with NF 0.6.7 on eMMC. Is it safe to do a nandroid backup of my setup through CWM (or make images of my partitions using dd commands through ADB) to restore to my new NC? Or am I better off just starting from scratch? It's not a big deal either way, but I could save a few hours of work.
As far as I understand, Clockwork mod doesn't work as it should with Froyo. I've tried booting into a CWM bootable sd card, then swaping it out with another sd card because of storage issues. I then tried a backup and it failed to work. I kept getting errors.
If you can get CWM to backup a Froyo install please share how you did this.
You may be able to dd your eMMC partitions, then make your own CWM flashable zip to restore. How reliable this might be is above me.
All in all, it's not that complicated nor time consuming to just redo everything on your new nook.
Best of luck.

Your are probably right. Better to just set everything up again. Just hope I don't run to problems like some others have been reporting with the market, etc.
I attempted to perform a backup of NF on internal memory using CWM from SD, and it failed to work. I installed CWM through Rom Manager (rebooted immediately after flashing) because it did not install with the flashable zip. I booted into recovery via Rom Manager and performed a nandroid backup. It took about 8 minutes and produced a 252Mb backup. I have no idea how reliable it is. Perhaps I will attempt to flash back to rooted 1.1 or 1.0.1, then restore the NF nandroid before I return the NC to see if it works or not.
You actualy got CWM to boot after flashing it with rom manager to the eMMC? I've always read that, that's not possible with Froyo on the eMMC.
I have flashed at least two different backups of 2.2 and stock 2.1.
didn't do anything special.
-edit- i suppose i should mention this was with cwm on emmc.

I was a bit leery since I read about folks getting into bootloops installing CWM, but figured it was supposed to be installed with the flashable NF 0.6.7 zip, so thought how much trouble could I get into?
I also read that you must reboot immediately after flashing CWM through Rom Manager to avoid bootloops (this advice seemed related to NC's Eclair 1.0.1 or 1.1) - I have no idea if that was necessary, but figured there was no harm in following the directions.
I thought I should be able to nandroid off of the CWM running from SD (it is possible I was using Monster's CWM image, which I understand will not nandroid from SD?), but didn't have success so figured I would try flashing it to eMMC.

How were you able to make backups of 2.2? I have froyo 6.7 on eMMC with CWM flashed via rom manager and I'm completly unable to boot into it. I've tried using the option in rom manager to boot into recovery, I also tried holding menu+PWR at boot and that did not work.

[Nook Color] Cannot return to stock from Cyanogen

So I rooted my Nook with autonooter 3.0.0, I followed all the directions entirely. It worked perfectly, I liked it but wanted to try other stuff. Then I successfully installed Honeycomb v4 on my Nook, I tried it out, but didn't like it, I'll wait until later as its more developed. Then I installed CM7 on my Nook. Its nice, but for some reason a lot of my important apps force close on me. So I thought would just return to stock and then go to autonooter. I tried the method found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
So I don't know if it matters, but I remember formatting boot, system, and data in CWR during the installations of Honeycomb, and also formatting the system and data in CM7 and also in trying to return to stock. So in each of the installations I followed all of the directions perfectly.
Ok, so here is my problem. After I try to return to stock, I try to boot up my Nook, it goes to the Touch the Future of Reading screen, then to the screen with the 'n' on it and the adobe message at the bottom comes up. However, it will not go passed this. It hangs and I cannot fix it. I have tried the 8 reboots which does reinstall the original firmware, however when its complete and reboots it does not boot, it does the same thing I just described.
Please help, if I have left out any information just ask and I will fill in the details.
There is a recovery zip on the development forum. Boot into cwr and flash... that should do the trick... hopefully.

Doesnt he need to format the partions with a ext3 cwr before flashing or will the recovery do that?

Yeah, I'm beginning to think I do have to fix up the partitions because everything I do is just giving me more hang.
Can anyone help with that?
Get CWR 3.0.5...
Write the SD card image to your uSD...
Copy repartition-boot-with-stock.zip to the root of the SD card...
Decide if you want to restore to 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 and copy the appropriate nook-complete-restore-1.0.x.zip to root of the SD card....
Boot off the SD card in your NC
since you say you have formatted boot... shouldn't ever need to do that btw...
Format Boot... System... Data... and cache...
Install the repartition boot zip file... then the complete system restore from SD card.
yeah.. once you reformat with CWR 3.0.0.5 you should be able to do the re-partition boot flash and then restore the image.
I just got back that way as well.

Thanks for all the help! I'm going to try this now. And I'm guessing it is, but will it be ok to use CWR 3.0.0.6 and boot with that from the SD card?
It needs to be CWR 3.0.0.5 in my experience.
3.0.0.6 supports EXT4 partitions and won't format them back to EXT3.. as long as they are EXT4, the nook will not boot into the stock rom.
The stock kernel doesn't support EXT4.. so it hangs just before it loads the system files..
If you wipe the partitions using 3.0.0.5 and install the full recovery image for 1.01 you should be a-ok.
Alright I got it! You guys are the best! Thanks for the help! Now I just need to re-root and I'm good to go! Thanks again!
Oh and yeah I used 3.0.0.5, that may have been the problem all along because I kept trying to fix with 3.0.0.6. Thanks!

[Q] can i flash CM7 using CWR if HC is already loaded onto the internal mem?

Simple question......if i have already flashed Honeycomb onto the nook internal memory..and if i would like to instead flahs CM7 to the internal memory can i just load my CM7.zip file onto my ClockWorkRecovery SD and then install from zip using that? or do i have to restore back to stock and then reroot and start the process all over?

wipe from recovery? Does this mean simply drag the zip file out of my sd card using my computer or put my CWR sd into the nook wipe it there, take the sd card back out of the nook drag and drop the cm7 zip onto my sd card and then install from zip using the CWR
I believe he means you need to boot CWM and use the menu to format areas like data/system/cache and then install CM7. I'm not sure which areas need to be formatted if you installed HC though.
Depends on which version of HC you installed.
If you installed the v2 with ext4 filesystem, you should be able to just wipe system/data/cache and then install cm7.
If it was one of the older HC releases that you had to format the boot partition to install, im not sure what to do.
i had to format boot for HC not cache and i believe with cm7 i have to format cache

[Q] Stuck at Nookie 'N'

Having successfully been using Froyo for a while, I decided to try the CM7 RC. After the flashing the ROM the Nook got stuck in a boot loop, after several attempts, I tried to go back to Froyo. Formatted the System and data under mounts and storage then flashed froyo, now stuck at the Nook N. Repartitioned the boot partition and tried to restore to stock no luck any help would be much appreciated.
- Stuck at Nookie 'N'
A couple questions first; did you reformat your eMMC to EXT-4 by formating system, data, and cache with CWM 3.0.1.0.? Which is required before flashing CM7. If you did then you cannot go back to froyo without reverting back to EXT-3, by formating system/data/cache with CWM 3.0.0.5.
You also may have a messed up boot partition, try flashing one of dalingrin's kernels for froyo or CM7, whichever one you're trying to recover. they are located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
That's about all I can say without knowing if you went to EXT-4
This will fix your problem....
Make a bootable SD immage of CWR. Burn it with a tool of your choice.
After that is done: Open up the sd card and toss the ROM that you want to flash in the root folder. (Hell, or make folders, thats what I do)
Next insert the SD card and restart your nook. You will have booted into CWR where you can then flash the Rom you stored on the SD card.
EDIT: Here is the link of the CWR images: http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/
Thanks for the quick response, I am currently using CWM 3.0.0.6, I tried your suggestion of using dalingrin's kernel, no luck. One thing I failed to mention is when I attempted to flash froyo it aborted every time.
btw colbur87 I am using a bootable uSD card...

Try getting the 3.0.5.0 CWM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870
Then flash it to your uSD card.
Boot to said uSD card
Format /data, /system, /cache
Flash Froyo.zip
Clear Davik-cache
reboot
install OC kernel
clear Dalvik-cache
reboot
I think when you formated with 3.0.6.0 you upgraded your eMMC to EXT-4, and froyo can only run on EXT-3. I may be wrong, but this should set you back up with froyo anyways.
If you're still stuck at the 'n' screen after this, then your /boot partition may be corupted, and someone might have to supply you with a proper one.
This helped a lot it turned out to be the incompatible file systems EXT-3 EXT-4.
I was able to restore my nook to stock. Now I will start over, again thanks a lot....
