I am new to this whole think of the nook color. Could anyone give me any instructions on how to put on cm7. I am not sure what to do with my sd card, once, do I put clockworks mod on it or cm7? After I install cm7 can I re-format my sd card to put it where I can put files back on it? Any help please.
This is from faceman over at androidtablets. One of the clearest write-ups of the process that I have seen.
Before beginning:
1. Booted into Recovery
2. Created new nand backup
3. Removed and stored MAIN sd
Using a new and different sd:
1. created 4gb CWR_ext4_0.1 bootable SD [Followed process here: ][RECOVERY] EXT4 Compatible Bootable Clockwork SD Card 0.1 (+ tasty treats) - xda-developers
2. moved flashable zip of CM7 to SD [edit: now using latest nightly found here: ]CyanogenMod Mirror Network - Powered by TDRevolution
3. moved latest gapps to SD [Found here: Latest Version/Google Apps - CyanogenMod Wiki
4. moved latest Froyo/CM7 overclock kernel to SD [Found here: ][Kernel][Eclair][Froyo][CM7][Honeycomb] Dalingrin's OC kernel [2/18/11] - xda-developers
4. insert into NC
Installing
1. boot with bootable sd (CWR_ext4_0.1 - ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.6)
2. 'mounts and storage' --> format /system ; /data ; /cache
3. back to main menu
4. 'install zip from sdcard' --> 'choose zip from sdcard' --> select "latest_CM7_nightly.zip"
5. 'install zip from sdcard' --> 'choose zip from sdcard' --> select "gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip"
6. 'install zip from sdcard' --> 'choose zip from sdcard' --> select "update-1100mhz-froyo_CM7-emmc-cwm.zip" [if desired]
7. 'mounts and storage' --> unmount sdcard --> remove sdcard
8. reboot
First Boot
1. (got chills seeing that little cm7 droid boot animation)
2. @ Welcome to NookColor --> waited full 5 minutes for system to settle (?)
3. tapped Droid to begin setup
4. waited for Notification Bar to show WiFi available --> dragged down to open
5. Selected my router and logged in
6. Used built in 'Back Button' in top right of notification bar to go back to setup
7. @ Set up your Google Account --> signed in
8. @ Market Apps Installer - IMPORTANT: Read This! --> OK
9. @ Choose the apps to install --> preference i guess (gmail and google search were already installed - I added YouTube) --> ok
10. above took me to YouTube install screeen from market, seleceted Install then OK
11. @ Use Google Location --> i uncheck both since it's not a phone --> Next
12. @ Back up data --> i uncheck again --> Next
13. "Your Google Account is now linked to this phone" --> Finish setup
14. now to set time prefferences --> personal preference here (set time zone and current time will adjust) --> Next
15. WOOT! CM7 Home Screen!
16. Open Apps --> Settings --> CyanogenMod Settings --> Lockscreen --> Style Options --> Lockscreen style --> change to Sliding Tab (this is because the Rotary wheel isn't sized right yet and is real hard to use currently)
17. back @ Settings --> Applications --> check allow for Unknown Sources
18. open Market --> downloaded Titanium Backup
19. Ran batch restore to replace missing user apps
20. Open and tested each user app (some worked, some didn't - but it's early)
First Backup
1. Power off NC
2. boot with bootable sd (CWR_ext4_0.1 - ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.6)
3. 'backup and restore' --> 'Backup' (this creates nand backup to the SD card of the installed system)
4. 'mounts and storage' --> unmount sdcard --> remove sdcard
5. reboot
First Nightly Update
1. Download latest nightly (CyanogenMod Mirror Network - Powered by TDRevolution)
2. Place new file onto the bootable ext4 SD
3. boot with bootable sd (CWR_ext4_0.1 - ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.6)
4. 'install zip from sdcard' --> 'choose zip from sdcard' --> select "latest_nightly.zip"
5. 'install zip from sdcard' --> 'choose zip from sdcard' --> select "update-1100mhz-froyo_CM7-emmc-cwm.zip" [if needed, at this time the nightly will restore original clock speed]
7. 'mounts and storage' --> unmount sdcard --> remove sdcard
8. reboot
Restoring a nand backup of CM7
1. Power off NC
2. boot with bootable sd (CWR_ext4_0.1 - ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.6)
3. 'backup and restore' --> 'Restore' (select the backup you wish to restore - usually one with most recent date)
4. 'mounts and storage' --> unmount sdcard --> remove sdcard
5. reboot

This hasn't happened to me yet, but the question just occurred to me I have a nandroid backup with a ext3 partition for my apps. If my ext3 partition got formated ie. I don't have an ext3 partition just a whole fat32 sd card. If I tried to restore from the backup would it fail since I don't have the ext3.
theres a very simple solution for this. I actually just ran this process on my brother's phone today because he was still using some old rom that isnt supported by its developer anymore and he got a new SD card that he needed to transfer apps onto.
BACKUP PROCESS:
1. install amon_ra's revocery v1.2.3
2. nandroid backup
3. select the "go to console" option
4. hit enter at the console to get the # propt, then type "utility" (sans quotes, of course) to enter the utility menu.
5. select the "back up apps from ext3 to fat" option
6. select the "return to recovery" option
7. select the "enable USB mass storage" option
8. copy the entire contents of the fat partition to your computer. (note: since you just backed up by nandroid and the utility console, this backup on your computer now has not only your system files, but also your apps! you should do this on a regular basis anyway...you know, unless you like losing files.)
9. select the "disable USB mass storage" option
...time goes by...
-insert here: whatever the hell happened to your phone to mysteriously format the card to only fat32
RECOVERY PROCESS:
1. boot to recovery
2. select the "go to console" option
3. at the console, enter for the prompt, then "utility"
4. select the "partition sd card 3 partitions" option and run through the partiton process. after this is done, your fat32-only card now has fat, ext2 and swap.
5. select the "return to recovery" option (if the utility console doesnt pop back up, simply enter "utility" again to bring it up) and proceeed to the next step OR select the "return to console" option and enter "upgrade_fs" and then reboot to recovery and go forward with step 7.
6. select the "convert ext2 to ext3" option
7. select the "turn on USB mass storage" option
8. remember that backup you made on your computer? put it on the card.
9. reboot to recovery (the utility console wont work without a rebbot if you've done the "return to recovery option")
10. select the "go to console" option
11. enter for prompt, then type "utility"
12. select the "restore apps from fat32" option
13. select the "return to recovery" option
14. nandroid restore (make sure correct roms are flashed if you did the old switcheroo)
15. reboot.
and VOILA, your phone is completely restored to the state it was in under 5 minutes.

Wow this will help MEE!! so basically when you do the recovery process..thats when you throw in the new sd card? if i have a sd card already parted with the three partitions i can skip steps 4-6 right and just proceed with the steps? Also is a nandroid backup needed if im just switching cards and not the roms?
Sorry for the stupid post but I would like to move on from a basic AutoNookie Eclair set up to Froyo. I get a bit worried reading the How-To's though as I found the initial rooting process terrifying as it was.
Can you guys clarify what the simplest way to get Froyo on the EMMC. I have HC on an SD card and its cool to look at but essentially useless for what I am after at the moment. Currently running a very buggy Eclair. Froyo would be sweet.
Thanks for the heads up.
- Power off the Nook completely
- Remove any SD card you may have in it
- Insert the SD card you burned
- Plug the USB cable into the computer
- Plus the USB cable into the Nook (this will auto-boot the Nook from the SD card)
- Once CWM boots up, go into "mounts and storage"
- Select "format data" (wait for it to finish)
- Select "format system" (wait for it to finish)
- Select "format boot"
- Press the power button to go back
- Select "install zip from sdcard"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard"
- Select "froyo-emmc-0.2.zip"
- Confirm your decision
- Let it finish (it will tell when it is done)
- Press the power button until you are at the first CWM screen (should say "reboot system now" in first option)
- Remove the sd card
- Select "reboot system now"
- Important: Let the Nook boot up completely. I typically refrain from touching it until the display turns off after boot-up
- Unlock the Nook
- Unplug the USB cable from the Nook
- Power off completely
- Insert the same sd card again (the one we've been flashing from)
- Plug in the USB cable and let CWM boot up again
- Select "install zip from sd card"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard"
- Select "googleapps.zip"
- Confirm your decision
- Let it finish (it will tell when it is done)
- Press the power button until you are at the first CWM screen (should say "reboot system now" in first option)
- Remove the sd card
- Select "reboot system now"
- Important: Let the Nook boot up completely. I typically refrain from touching it until the display turns off after boot-up
- Unlock the Nook

does this require me to be back to stock or can I do it fine running from Eclair.
Also, will I maintain the apps I have already installed.
Thanks for that reply. Brilliant.
First off, I purposefully left these instructions vague. Please just use this guide as a starting point for what you must learn about. ALOT of reading of the development forum is a requirement, going into this without fully understanding each step is foolish. If done wrong you will cause yourself all kinds of headaches, though producing a brick is hard but not impossible.
You will lose all of your data on the nook color. You will lose the ability to start into clockwork mod(from EMMC) and make/flash recoveries(does not work with froyo).
I am no android developer, nor do I claim to be one. I'm just relaying what I've learned, and has worked for me in the past, from these forums. I'll answer questions to the best of my abilities, but please keep in mind that Froyo IS buggy.
K, here we go.
Easy way is the flashable cwm image located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938200
Backup eclaire rom then reset to factory default
1: Install Rom manager
2: Flash clockwork mod in Rom Manager
3: Reboot into recovery
4: Create backup of rom(stores on sd card)
5: Wipe data and reset to factory default
turn off
Burn froyo image onto SD card
1: Download winimage (assuming windows)
2: Run as administrator
3: Disk -> restore virtual hard disk image
4: Select SD card
5: Select image to flash
Flash Image
Flash to EMMC
1: Put froyo sd card into nook and boot
2: Clockwork mod will start
3: In "Mounts and Storage" format boot, then system, then data
4: Go back(pwr button) and select flash zip from sd card
5: Select Froyo image
wait for completion
Once Flashed and boots
1: If SD card does not mount replace vold.prop with nookie Froyo 5.8's (A fix is curently being worked on)
2: Install Gapps via instructions here: http://www.nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Nookie_Froyo_Tips
3: Install OC kernel, instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10903913&postcount=233
Re: For those having market problems

Shutoff your nook and insert the sdcard you just created
Boot your nook to sdcard
Under the "mounts and storage" menu, choose "format cache"
Press the power button to go back to the main menu
Choose "install zip from sdcard"
Choose "choose zip from sdcard"
Choose the zip file
After the image is installed, remove the sdcard
Press the power button to go back to the main menu
Choose "reboot system now"
Go into applications
Manage applications

Now reboot with the 3.0.0.5 Version of clockwork
Choose mount
Reformat cache
Reboot again
After the nook has reboot
Configure the wireless, setup your google account
The market will now work
Install Flash and YouTube
BTW Brian FTW Great work, I like your setup the best
After successfully getting HC running on my NC, I recently helped a couple of co-workers do the same on theirs. In the process, I came up with a set of instructions that worked great for each of them, so I figured I'd share.
Please note that these are just a simplified version of what appears in the original thread here: [ZIP][DEV][ROM] HC v4 eMMC 2nd ed. - Flashable ZIP {02/21/11}. All I did was put all of the pieces together into one list.
Requirements to follow these instructions exactly:
2 GB microSD card for flashing the ROM
Another microSD card for everyday use (I refer to it as "your 8GB sdcard" below)
Linux workstation
Basic familiarity with linux command line
Here goes:
Delete any existing partitions on your 2GB SD card. An fdisk -l should show just /dev/sdx, no partitions (e.g. /dev/sdx1).
Download the 2GB bootable SD card image from here:
http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.1-ext4/2gb_clockwork-0.1-ext4.tar.gz
MD5SUM:
598262de35053f2d34480175ac337d7c 2gb_clockwork-0.1-ext4.tar.gz
Decompress that file and dd the resulting "2gb_clockwork-0.1-ext4.img" to your 2GB sdcard. (The dd target should be /dev/sdx, not /dev/sdx1.) This is the card you'll use to flash images, recover from "bricked", etc. You'll only want to have this in your Nook if/when you want to boot from this card. Leave this sdcard connected to your computer for now -- you'll be copying a file to it shortly.
Download the HoneyComb installation zip from here:
http://www.multiupload.com/47M6MIFS9A
MD5SUM:
ac42f8ca2d04e15b8981593e60b0abc1 HC-v4-emmc-2nd-edition.zip
DON'T unzip HC-v4-emmc-2nd-edition.zip. Just copy it over to your 2GB bootable sdcard. Feel free to create a new directory for it; just remember where you copied it.
You're done prepping the 2GB card now. Unmount it, pop it into your Nook, and reboot the Nook.
When it boots, you'll be in ClockWorkMod recovery (CWM). This is where you install/backup/etc various ROMs (and sometimes applications). Navigate through the various menus using the up/down volume keys on the side of your nook. Press the "n" button on the front to execute whatever you have currently selected. Press the power button on the side to go "back".
In CWM, navigate to "mounts and storage". Format each of these:
/system
/data
/cache
Also in "mounts & storage", make sure /system and /data aren't mounted. (If you have the option to mount them, that means they're unmounted; and vice versa.) In the same way, make sure sdcard IS mounted.
Go back to the root of the CWM menu, then go to "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard". Navigate to wherever you saved HC-v4-emmc-2nd-edition.zip and select it. You won't see any progress, so just wait a while; around 10 minutes, I think.
Once CWM reports that the install completed, go back to "mounts and storage" and unmount the sdcard. Remove the 2GB bootable sdcard, insert your 8GB sdcard, and select "reboot" from CWM.
Your Nook will boot up running Honeycomb.
Hey guys, first of all, just let me say, thanks for reading.
Here is the thing, I got my note a while back and rooted and installed CM 10 at the time, then I just kept using its update feature to keep up to date. I did that almost a year ago and never came back to XDA Devs. So im pretty rusty on procedures and that kind of stuff.
I was looking into installing a new ROM, one that has the S-Note, S-Memo and S-Pen drawing apps, and If I'm not mistaken, this one does:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626
I know how to install a new ROM, but when I reboot my phone I cant access CWM recovery to install from SD card.
So my question is: What would I need to do, to get back CWM so I can install the previously mentioned ROM, if I'm running the latest nightly of CM?
Thank you in advance for your time!
Sounds like you need to do a full wipe and flash a ROM with a kernel that has cwm. Via a computer
You can flash the hydracore kernel via PC ODIN or mobile ODIN should also work. Better do a full wipe and flash with PC ODIN.
Thanks guys!
Would asking for a link to the relevant and recommended tutorials be too much?
Help Installing New ROM
Hey guys, first of all, just let me say, thanks for reading.
I am a noob wanting to install custom rom my Galaxy Note N 7000
Android version : 4.0.4
Baseband version : N7000XXLRK
Kernal version : 3.0.15 - N7000XXLRK-CL811902
I was earlier planning to factory reset my Note and then install the latest firmware by Samsung from Kies
So I hard reset my Galaxy Note.
But I had some trouble downloading the update using Kies, that's when I decided to install custom ROM.
So the following are the details I have collected over my research on how to install Custom ROM on my Galaxy Note.
I am posting this thread because I want to check, if I have gathered the right information over my search
Please reply with the steps I have to remove or steps I have to add.
1. Have to root my phone and install a Safe Kernel.
Charge the battery to 100%
Then put my Phone in Debugging Mode
I have checked this thread [Beginners Guide]How to root Samsung Galaxy Note for rooting details and found 3 links for my kernel on the thread
[03.06.2013][PhilZ-cwm6][n7000] v5.06.1 Safe Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root+exFAT+ext4-LT6
http://d-h.st/SZ2 - Filename: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-3.1
http://d-h.st/NFY - Filename: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-2.7
http://d-h.st/b5M - Filename: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-2.5
I guess PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-3.1 is the latest kernel for my phone from the version details.
Please confirm if I was right in choosing the kernel.
- Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card to root directory
- Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
- Select install(update) zip from ext SD card
- Select PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-3.1-signed.zip' which I copied to Ext card
- Reboot device
Questions???
---> Does root directory mean I have to copy the files to external SD card when its just open?
---> How can I check if my phone is successfully rooted?
2. Backup my Phone’s IMEI
-Install Root Browser from google store
-Copy efs folder to external SD Card storage and then to my computer
3. Backup the Complete ROM
- Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
- Scroll down to the “backup and restore” option and backup the ROM to external storage using the option “backup to external sdcard” option.
Question???
---> Can I save this backup to my computer so that I can delete the back up and save space on the external SD?
4. Installing Custom ROM
I am planning to install [AOSPA 4.2.2] PARANOIDANDROID 3.60 (June 11)
- Download the latest ROM pa_n7000-3.60-11JUN2013-053741.zip using the link
- Download the latest Gapps pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130615-signed.zip from the link
- Copy ROM and Gapps to Internal SD card
- Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
- Select "wipe data/factory reset"
- Select "wipe cache partition"
- Go to advanced and select “wipe dalvik cache” and “wipe battery stats”
- Go to mounts and storage and ”format system”
- Return back to the main menu and select “install zip" and choose zip from Internal sd card” and select the ROM
- Return back to the main menu and select “install zip" and choose zip from Internal sd card” and select the Gapps
- Select "wipe cache partition"
- Go to advanced and select “wipe dalvik cache”
- Finally, go back to the main menu in Recovery and select ”reboot system now”.
Questions???
---> Doesn't wiping all the data remove the ROM and Gapps we have copied to the Internal SD card?
---> Is it really the Internal SD card where I have to copy ROM and Gapps?
---> Do I really have to wipe cache after installing ROM and Gapps?
---> After I successfully install the custom ROM how will I receive the future updates?
Thanks in advance :laugh:
Hey mate, lotta questions you got there!
Firstly, you copy the PhilZ kernel .zip to your SD card and then go to recovery and flash it. You go to recovery, you'll have an option, flash .zip from SD card.
To check the root, you'll have superuser in your app drawer after you restart.
The backup you're talking about here is the nandroid backup, yes you can copy the folder to the PC later.
And when you wipe data, you don't lose your documents on the internal SD, the ROM and gapps will be still there, and you can copy the ROM and gapps .zip files to SD card too.
Yes wiping cache before flashing tje ROM is advisable. And once you root the phone, you won't get access to future updates by samsung officially, but you'll have the stock based custom ROMs on xda which solves that problem, else you can flash the official firmware anytime and update.
Hit thanks if this helped, guess it did
