I rooted my NC, installed newest rom manager, flashed latest cwm and rebooted. But my nook kept booting into recovery, so i formated data and system and flashed cm7. It is still only booting into recovery. what can i do to fix this???
Did you take out the micro SD card?
cwm isnt on the sd card, i flashed it using rom manager, so dont think the sd has anything to do with it... does it?
One way to find out... pop out the SD card, reboot, see if you get into your OS/
This happened to me too, you have to remove cwm, there s a file for it somewhere on here. Basically you have to boot with a cwm bootable sd card, then run the remove clockwork zip. After its removed, you can reflash it again via rom manger. The important thing is to reboot the device after flashing it, if you dont - that's what causes it to boot loop into recovery.
Edit: here's the CWM Removal zip, put this on your CWM bootable sd card and run it. That should get you out of the boot loop.
Remember when you flash cwm again, REBOOT before trying to go into recovery. I rebooted a couple times just to be safe.

Same thing happened to me and I followed the same path to boot to CM7 again except that after flashing CWR-removal.zip from my bootable CWR recovery SD I had to flash CM7 on top of it to be able to boot normally again.
thanks, i did that but now i f***ed it up another way... i'll let you guys know if i need any help.

So if I goto ROM Manager, I can successfully install CWM. I goto "Reboot into CWM" and I get a install error when it tries to boot. I am able to boot into CWM via MicroSD card but NOT from just my Nook device. I had some issues a few days ago where I accidentally whiped the /system and /data. I've since fixed it (i thought) but I cant help but think this issue is related.
Any ideas...?

I had this problem too. It happened to me, because I had screwed up the boot partition. I had to restore to stock, and then re-nooter to fix it.
I have the same problem running nookie froyo from emmc. I've tried a bunch of different things but have never been successful.
I was able to get it working on stock rooted fine thouhh. Has anyone successfully gotten clockwork running with nookie froyo without using the clockwork sd boot?

Was it easy to restore to stock?
I would download the repartition boot from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929670 , put it on the micro sd along with CWR and flash. This should fix your boot partition, which you then can reinstall CWR if you so desire.
If that doesnt fix boot then use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720

will this work on my Nookie froyo on emmc?? without wiping my data?
I am struggling with the exact same issue. I used the Monster Root Pack to restore my messed up NC 1.1 this weekend. After i got everything back to 1.0.1, I have been unable to do a nandroid from CWM. It kept failing. After some searching on this forum, I found that the CWM zip that is included in Monster Root Pack isn't working. So I tried to flash the zip from CWM thread. That errored out, too! I'm glad I found this thread.
So, what does the repartitioning boot do? How would that fix the issue of CWM not flashing? Also, does flashing the repartition force me to have to go back to stock?
Anyone have any success with this?

Not sure how to get out of it. Any ideas? When i reboot with the power button, it gets to the N then jumps to Clockwork.

Could you actually reboot into clockwork with the power and n button, then reboot the device from there? It may or may not yield the same result. Was this your first backup? Is clockwork on an sd card?
I'm already in Clockwork and can move around its just that if i choose reboot it goes back into recovery. If i reboot with the power button, it goes back into recovery. All i did was backup the ROM from ROM manager. I'm on 1.1.0 rooted with Autonooter 3.0

Hmmm. Not sure what may have gone wrong. It is pretty straight forward. You may restore your backup and see what happens.
It was posted by k4str0:
There is about 10 threads in the general forum to resolve this. Just FYI. The fix is to use Monster CWR bootable SD card to flash CW-removal.zip and remove CWR off the internal memory. Stick to using the bootable CWR instead.
This worked for me, also you will not loose anything, only need to install later CW back.

That's where you can d/l the ZIP file. I had to use that too after flashing an o/c'ed kernel. It works like a charm.
Thanks. It worked. I used the zip file that removes Clockwork and keeps root. I'm wondering if Clockwork has problems with stock 1.1.0 ? I didn't have any problems until i upgraded.
I have never been able to make a nandroid backup. If I boot from a recovery sd card, it fails and when I try to reboot to recovery from froyo, that doesn't work either.
I've done a search and haven't found anything helpful. I'm using stock 1.2 and rooted with manualnooter. I used rom manager to flash clockwork. I boot into recovery and install phiremod from an sd card. It says it's successful, but after I reboot it boots back into recovery (I removed the sd card). I reboot AGAIN and then it gets stuck on the manualnooter loading screen. Am I missing something?
I attempted to put Phiremod onto my NC, but I formatted the boot partition so it doesn't start up. What's the easiest way to get my Nook going again?
Try using a CWR SD Card, and either flashing a nightly zip, or one of the U-Boot files floating around.
I think I just need to flash a proper boot file, which should I try for either CM7 or Phiremod?
Can anyone help me out? The sticky seems a bit outdated or maybe it's just confusing me.
I have a 2GB uSD card and I just want to try out Phiremod and the stable CM7 to see which I prefer. Do I have really have to restore to stock just to overwrite it again?
I decided to completely restore to stock firmware to see if I could get this thing to work. I downloaded the complete 1.0.1 zip, loaded it on my CWM recovery uSD card, formatted boot, system, data, and cache, flashed the recovery zip and then rebooted.... Didn't boot
I need help, what am I missing?
Follow sticky carefully, it works.

Do the 8 re-boot step. There is also a boot fix zip file or recovery zip file you can flash via your CWM SD.
I flashed the 3.2.0.8 recovery zip, but it still doesn't boot
Download this to your CWM sd card. And this. Then put in your CWM sd card, boot it up, flash the update_nc_stock_1.2.zip file, then ManualNooter. Take out the sd card and reboot. Should have stock + root.
Thank you, but I don't even want to use the B&N software. Either CM7 or Phiremod.
Can't I just repair the boot partition?
I went ahead and flashed the update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip then manual nooter
Took the card out and rebooted, nothing happens
Did you reboot? What do you see?
Nothing, screen doesn't come on
Help please!
Oh. Have your tried flashing this?
Where did you find that on the CM site? All I found under Nook Color were the 'update' zips
Downloading now
Ahh, it's a nightly CM7 build... I assume that it will completely format the EMMC?
Downloaded and flashed the latest nightly zip, still won't boot.........
Anyone else have any ideas I could try?
Perhaps I missed where you said you did it, but go back and take the Nook completely back to stock. I umderstand that you said you don't want to use to stock software at all, but you need to get it back to factory so you can at least boot the device.
Once you've done that, go ahead and follow the directions TO THE LETTER to load your CM7 or Phiremod.
Cliffs Notes: Trying to repair something when you can't even boot is a bit silly. Just start from square one and root. Enjoy!
Rooted with manual nooter and everything worked fine. Then tried dalingrins overclock kernal and it wouldnt go past the N boot screen. Did the factory restore with zip file through Clockwork. Still wont boot passed N screen. I have tried holding power and N button and it wont reset. Tried the 8x failed boot and that wouldnt work either. What other options do I have?
You are not truly "bricked" till it won't boot from an sd card... Have you tried that yet?

Remove Clockworkmod, then do the 8x reboot. If it doesn't work, that means you're not doing it correctly. Just keep trying.
Have you tried wiping and reflashing from a bootable sd?

Because there are other OC kernels which were designed for CM7 mods.....
To boot from SD, how can I do that if I remove Clockwork? Should I remove clockwork, flash the stock IMG on an sd and do a 8x boot?
If you are unable to get to your emmc clockwork recovery you need to make a clockwork recovery bootable SD card. It will boot your nook into CWR from the card. Instructions can be found in the development thread. Its not that hard. You just have to burn the image to a spare SD card.
Once you have that, you can flash whatever you like. If a backup of your prior 1.2 is not readily available you can try flashing an older version first (see "return to stock" thread in development) and then updating to 1.2 using the B&N official update. At least this is how I went about a fresh install several months ago just to clean house. You can proceed to manual nooter again.
OC kernels as mentioned before are specific to which build you are running ie froyo, CM7, stock etc. The link above are just stock 1.2 kernels modified to allow for overclocking and few other tweaks such as a different scheduler. Dal has overclock kernels available for 1.2 as well. That's what I use when running 1.2. Just make sure you grab the latest one that is specific for your setup. Hope this helps.
Edit: Here is the restore to stock thread link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
Two steps before flashing the stock zip is to format data and cache. It has an error when formatting data. I think this is why the stock flash didnt work the first time. Any suggestions?
What version of CWR are you booting to from the SD card? I have heard of this problem when trying to use older versions that don't have the proper extension support.
Figured out the issue. I did a factory reset by holding the power and home button down. Then I went into clockwork and installed the 1.0.1 recovery. I took out the sd and rebooted. That didnt work....
So I did teh factory reset again, installed 1.0.1 recovery, then Instead of removing the sd, I formatted it and rebooted. This worked perfect. For some reason it wouldnt boot without an SD in the slot. Even though it was formatted through CW.
Thanks for all yor help guys!
I would always get the error message on the first reboot after using a bootable SD card. I bet if you had just rebooted again without the card in place it would have fired right up. Glad you got it working!
When you get your rooted 1.2 setup again, make a nandroid backup and save a copy of the folder to your computer/jump drive or something. That way if you get bootlooped/borked again you can load that nandroid onto your bootable SD card and restore. Won't have to start all over again
Actually have one more issue. I'm trying to do the barnes and noble 1.2 update. Both of my computers recognize a drive but say to insert a disk when trying to drag the update file to them. If I go to device info on the nook it says I have 0.00mb of internal storage. I assume these two problems go together. Any ideas?
I believe both SD card and internal memory technically should be recognized. Unmount the SD card and remove it. It may be causing issues or interfering. Reconnect the device and it should mount the internal storage partition (5 GB). You can drop the update onto the root of this drive. This of course is assuming you don't have one of the newer nooks that has different size partitions (1 GB). Not sure how your restore process may have affected this.
