Is there a way to get rid of the clockwork mod boot on the nook color
As per onstuctions on this site, I got a 1.1 pre roote version and installed it
from the sd card with the clockwork menu which informed me that the
"NookColor" install complete.
when I reboot, it starts with the welcome message,but then only reboots into the same recovery menu.
At this point I would just like to go back to a stock rom, but cannot boot anything but the recovery.
By the way, I can boot froyo from the sd card
Please help me
I've moved your thread to the correct forum.
So you dont have the CWR sdcard in? Because if you did, you would need to remove that first. Sorry if this dumb, but thats all I can think of right now. Maybe reflash the 1.1 pre rooted rom? Or follow the instructions in Samuelhalff's "Easily restore to stock" thread located here in the Nook forums.
The "Easily restore to stock" saved the day. I am now up and running.
Thanks
How did you do that? I have CWR on mine and I went to buy a book from the shop on the Nook and it downloaded and installed 1.1... Now when I try to go back and restore from backup CWR doesn't respond... All it does is sit there and if I select something from the menu it goes to the background image (the circle with the top hat) and sits there. I would like to remove this so I can reroot my Nook...
Thanks for any help.

See the other thread or sticky that's labeled "How to Restore to Stock easiliy." I believe you can also use the power down and on 8 times trick to restore to stock as well.
Same thing happened to me. I used Clockwork to flash the CWR-removal.zip on the restore thread mentioned above and it fixed my boot, everything else was OK.

Ditto that. I reinstalled CW and everything seems to be working fine. Has anyone else had issues with using Rom Manager on the NC? I've had to go back to stock twice whenever I've used it.
I had a problem when trying to roll my 1.1 rooted NC back to stock because I futzed it up that I ended up in a CWR loop. 8 resets didn't get me a reflash, it got a recovery. Took me finally getting the NC flashed and rerooted at 1.1 a second time when I reinstalled ROM Manager and ended up with the problem again. Took me this wasted effort to realize that CWR runs in lieu of the reflash if CWR is installed and that's an obvious problem when I wanted a reflash and not restore a different backup.
There is a thread with a zip that CWR can run that blasts CWR off and reflashs stock and getting that done put me back both times I messed up above.
Seems to me that perhaps the whole "can never brick" response when people ask for help needs to have an addendum about how CWR gets in the way of an 8 reboot reflash and provide guidance on how to get that update file and use it instead to get back to square one. (Plus some advice on when to clear caches and data partitions to avoid weirdness later).
Now rerooted on 1.1 with no ROM Manager running but I'm missing the nandroid bacjup capability, so maybe I reinstall but stay away from the recovery option until I need it?
I reinstalled CW after I rerooted 1.1 and have had no problems with it so far, but I also haven't tried to backup or anything since the first time (which initially got me into this mess).
I do think you're right about having some sort of addendum thrown in. I was running circles around the XDA forums for a few hours trying to find some sort of fix the first time my Nook started acting weird. The 8-reboot trick just wouldn't work, and my battery was more or less drained because CW was interfering. Maybe this is just understood by most, but it certainly would have saved me some time (and some gray hairs) if someone had mentioned it earlier.
So what is the conclusion of this thread? I have a new NC, updated to 1.1 and installed AutoNooker 3.0, immediately installed Clockwork and did a NAND backup... bad thing is that it won't boot off the eMMC anymore, only CW.
I can boot roms off of the SD card (ie Honeycomb) but this isn't want I want. I've downloaded and flashed several roms but its looped at CW. So the rom isn't the problem.
If we can't install Clockwork Recovery, then how can we flash new roms to the eMMC?
[UPDATE]
Found a flashable file which removes Clockwork Recovery.
http://www.etoile-laconnex.com/CWR-removal-rootsafe.zip
After I flashed that I am now booting off the eMMC froyo rom. Nice! Saved me from Restoring it, updating it, and reRooting it.
[UPDATE 2]
Well while it worked initially, it loaded the homescreen and reset. Now it is stuck at the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen with no Recovery... which worse off. Now I have to make a CWM bootable SD, flash the restore, and start over. Nice.
[UPDATE 3]
Finally got it back to stock after hours. I found a "MonsterPack" here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870
Even this was more complicated then it needed. I had to download the 128mb RootPack image, and get it going so I can grab the needed root files. Then download the right size Clockwork image for my memory card and get it going. The end result ended in a Clockwork SD card. Then I made a "sdcard" folder from where I added the rootpack files and the stock image 1.0.1 flashable zip file.
Format the system and boot partitions, then flash the stock zip.
I just upgraded stock to 1.1, then will proceed to boot off the microsd and root, install GAPPS, etc.
I wish I knew of a great custom rom to flash. I flashed Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 and it powers down immediately (several complaints about this). Maybe CM7?
Ditto
I'm having this problem as well, but I can't seem to do anything to fix it. I was running 1.1, and auto-nootered using v3.0. Everything was hunky dory until I installed CWR. I flashed, shutdown, restarted, then chose to perform a backup which brought me down into CWR and I was never able to get out. I used the Monster pack zip to remove CWR, and now I boot to the "n" screen and sit forever. I tried the 8 hard resets and it said it installed on two different occasions, but still I sit on the "n" screen during boot. I tried the 1.0.1 restore zip as well, but to no avail. What do I need to do to get back up and running?
CW Recovery only
So I flashed my NC with both the pre-dualboot and the dual-honeycomb rom, but every time I reboot with the SD card inserted, it only boots to CW recovery. When I take it out..it boots to NC stock OS.
Am I suppose to remove clockwork recovery with the CW-removal zip? I tried that.. once it rebooted it went right back to CW. Should I be using two different SD cards? One for CW recovery and one to load the eMMc?
So confused...
What I need to know is what should be on the SD card after everything is flashed.
Mw : you could use a bootable cwr sdcard and flash 'emmc recovery repair', then format data and restore your backup.
Ehamonn: you have to remove cwr from the sdcard. Format should do the trick. But you'll loose the data on it..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Do I need to keep a boot image on the card after I format?
Well, if you only want to boot from internal memory, no.
Hello, I guess I went in blind and screwed it up. Here's exactly what I did.
1. Created a bootable CWR SD card and used ManualRooter on my stock 1.2. Everything went perfectly. Checked Market and full app list etc.
2. Copied phiremod 6.2 to CWR card. Booted into Recovery. Wiped data/factory reset. Installed phiremod. No error so far. Wiped dalvik cache (not sure if I ran wipe cache partition). Then I turned it off, rebooted and the Nook is now stuck at the loading screen.
Of course, only then did I realize I got a nook with the new partitions (blue sticker). What should I do now? I was planning to try repartitioning but not sure if that would do more damage.
Any input? Thanks.
Fixed it Went ahead and installed the 2 repartition/reformat zips and installed phiremod on top. Everything is just peachy
hey itaintrite, i'm have a similar issue.
burned my working rom to sd so i could flash emmc to 1.2 manual nooter. prob now is when i boot from my sd it hangs at 'touch the future of reading.'
what's this 'repartition/reformat' zip you speak of?
raze
Similar problem....could use some help please!!
OK. Noob who is eternally grateful to all the awesome folks here. With your help I successfully rooted my EVO last summer. Now I have a problem with my new Nook Color. I successfully rooted (NC 1.2) it with ManualNooter, but now it won't accept any other ROMS. Runs MN fine, but I used ROM Manager to download and flash CM7.0.3, but it hangs at the "n COLOR" boot screen. Same exact result with Phirerom. I was able to restore to MN by somehow achieving the CM Recovery and restoring the Nand backup. Meanwhile, while I am unable to flash CM7, I AM able to boot into it from an SD card. Help, please.

The repartition/reformat are in the thread that helps you repartition your 1.2 refurb nook to the older partition format. You can't install any custom roms otherwise.
I am having a similar issue. I rooted my new Blue Dot NC, I made my microSD card image with CW 3.2.0.1-eyeballer and ManualRooter 4.6.16 followed all instructions, and everything came out fine. installed apps, copied over books etc. all running fine. The problem is when I reboot the NC it will start rebooting and then get stuck cycling in the NOOK COLOR animation. I have to reset it, and re-register it with B&N and install ManualRooter again.
Any ideas why this happens? Could it be an app causing this??
I am rooting again and testing the reset before I add any apps, then app by app and see if something comes up.
Any help would be appreciated.
My Nook Color is stuck at the grey 'n' screen. I rooted it at version 1.2, then decided I wanted to try to use it with Froyo. It booted up fine, then I got the flashable zip and ran that from a CWR sd card. Now it will not boot (stuck at ANDROID_). I've tried to restore it from CWR with the Nook-complete-restore-1.0.1.zip, that didnt work. I tryed using the images from <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919353>. Same issue. I do have access to adb from the booted sd card on CWR or Froyo. My main goal here is to just get it to boot into the normal, unrooted state it came in and work from there.
Thanks in advance guys
Are you using the latest version of CWR (3.2.0.1)?
Follow the instructions here: http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-nightlies/
I think I was using 3.0.0.6 for some reason I'll give that a try and get back
YOU CANNOT BRICK THIS b*tch!!!

I've tried and tried to brick this SOB - cannot be done. Slip in a boot disk and voila it's back. Amazing this beast it is!
Make a boot disk M8.
patruns, you are awesome!! Thanks brah
So, I was running the latest CM snapshot on my Nook HD+ and decided that I wanted to have TWRP instead of CWM as my custom recovery. I downloaded the latest TWRP img and flashed using Flashify. I rebooted and now it's stuck on the 'Nook' boot screen and doesn't progress. I can't boot into recovery or the OS. What should I do?
Apologies in advance for my naivity!
Okay, more details. Tried to run CWM recovery from a bootable SD card (as per instructions on another thread). With the SD card in the Nook won't even power on (black screen). Have a bricked it?
Solved! Tried a different SD card and was able to boot recovery and reinstall the ROM.
Was feeling like Samuel L Jackson (ie a bad mother f*cker) and tried to flash TWRP again, this time using Rashr, and it worked fine. Hope this helps someone!
I switched to Cyanogenmod sometime last year but recently became dissatisfied. I wanted to restore my Nook HD+ to factory stock.
So I put in my original bootable SD card and chose to restore the backup that I had made just before installing Cyanogenmod. The restore seemed to go ok, but when I restart I just end up in a boot loop until eventually the HD+ goes back into the CWM recovery menu.
After googling for tips I tried clearing the main cache and dalvik cache but to no effect.
Any ideas / links on how to get the Nook back to stock?
I found one link but it seems to suggest that the steps would not work on a recent Cyanogenmod version like I had (my last nightly update was sometime early Oct 2016): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35811322#post35811322 (item 6)
1. Go back to leapinlar's thread that you linked, and download "NookHDplus-emmc-stock-recovery-rev0-(05.16.13).zip", which is the stock recovery.
2. Use your bootable SD to flash the stock recovery on the Nook.
3. Remove the microSD from the tablet, and boot into stock recovery by holding home and both volume buttons while turning on the tablet.
4. Follow the instructions to factory reset the device
So I have been stuck in a boot loop. I downloaded the zip from leainlar thread. I keep trying to boot the nook but it won't work.
It says there is an error mounting the sdcard. I'm at a loss. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
