Thanks to Mike919 we now have a clockwork recovery backup that you can recover to your phone.
What does this give me? well it gives you a way to restore your phone to its default state but it has already been rooted and deodexed.
If you dont know what root or deodexed are then please search around the forums. I'm sorry but i simply dont have the time to answer a thousand questions.
How do i use this?
Well it's very simple.
Unzip the file
On your sdcard make a folder in sdcard\clockworkmod\backup with todays date on it like \sdcard\clockworkmod\backup\2010-08-23.23.30.41
Extract the contents of This File into that folder. There should be 5 files inside when you are done.
Install Koush's Clockwork recovery (if you haven't already)
Boot into Koush's recovery
Choose restore, then navigate to the folder you created earlier
Choose restore. Then follow the instructions on the screen.
When you reboot you will have a totally clean system, with Froyo 2.2, already rooted. and fully deodexed.
I can this tell you that this does work. I have done it myself. I also know of one other person that has done it with no problems.
Please grab the file while you can, who knows how long this will stay up.
oh, also it has a black bar with transparency. Other versions will follow i'm sure you can always replace your framework-res.apk and services.jar if you don't like it.
again search alldroid if you need help with this.

Awesome thank you Mike
Stupid question but you know its gonna be asked.... you need to be on 2.2 before applying the 2.2 nandroid correct?
Yeah.

@mach330: just restore using provided files. I didn't wipe, was on rooted leaked froyo.
thanks...so it retains all our stuff? aight...gonna try this out in a bit. been having problems with nandroid backup on froyo. didn't wanna go to sbf flash to do this again. i'm hoping this will fix this problem.
NO! It WILL install a fresh froyo build. This will probably come late to you though...
ok thanks...hmm..now i'm debating. you think this will fix my nandroid backup problem?
Do an advanced restore and only redo the system partition not the data and you'll keep your data and get the improved system files

crap...i guess i answered my own question. tried to restore only the system and i get:
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblkp1)
(Device or resource is busy)
Can't mount /sdcard
Does this mean i gotta do an sbf flash?

Can anyone confirm if this will work or not? So far we've gotten two conflicting answers.
So since I was born yesterday.....
What's the difference between this and the root/2.2 leak I did the other day?. Is this blur free in all ways? Cause that's the only reason I would wipe and go through all those proper steps is to be 100% blur free.

Don't appologize for asking questions-we all need answers to one thing or another
The first thing you want to do is go to the android market and search for Rom Manager. You already have this installed if you are running CM7, but you need to update it to the newest version.
Then, Just open your app drawer and open up Rom Manager. When it opens, the very top line says "Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery". Tap on that, choose Nook Color, and it will update to the newest version 3.2.0.1.
Hope this Helps!

Ok, thanks! So you can indeed copy the files as-is.. with Paleolithic dos 3.2 origin, I tend to expect you need to use special app to copy the system files. In any case, I've installed the boot menu on SD card so by defaults I boot internal flash. No need to lose sanity removing the easy-to-lose usd card.. I can also start the recovery from internal flash..

Yes, I have updated a couple times by just transferring the updated files onto my bootable CWM card. I have done a number of back-ups and restores without a problem. The files are self-contained file systems, so not much damage from a simple transferring of them. If you want to install a special app for windows to be able to update the SD card in the future, then I would download this very handy tool, ImDisk, it will allow windows to mount the updated img file and extract the files from it.
I downloaded cog from rom manager than tried to install it. I remember from flashing rom on my other phone that I had to select reinstall packages a few times. Nothing really changed. I rebooted then went back to rom manager and clicked install rom from sd (not sure if that's exaclty how its worded) I saw the rom but backed out. I booted back into recovery and selected format sd, I'm guessing I shouldn't have done that, now I'm getting a signature error in cwm, also when I select download rom from sd in rom manager I no longer see my download folder. Help please, not sure if any of this make sence.

A little hard to follow, but I would just flash back to stock and go and download CM and place it on your root sd card and just flash through CWM.

I am stock, nothing flashed. The problem I'm having is after I selected format sd card in rom manager (not sure why I did that) I now no longer have a download folder, in other words, if I open root exploror and try and fine my download folder I wont because its not there.

Just download CM from the DEV section and place it on the root of your sd card. Then power off your phone and 3 button combo into cwm and flash that way.
Cwm tells me when I try and install anything that- E: failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (no such file or directory)
E: Signature verification failed, installation aborted. This is the exact message I get in cwm
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
How are you trying to install via cwm? Are you selecting the zip file or just clicked install update.zip? Just asking to make sure your doing it the right way.
Ffs it's the blind leading leading the blind.
Op you can't see the folder anymore because format means WIPE so your sdcard is empty now.
And 2 the signature error isn't because if that it's because you are on stock froyo which requires signed update zips. To get around this look here for the 3e recovery thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161102

At first I downloaded the rom from one of the dev pages, I than checked root explore/sdcard/download to make sure it downloaded fine, which it did. I than went to rom manager and booted into recovery, but I didn't see anything about installing from sdcard (which is what I see on my infuse) all I see is reboot, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data, and format internal sdcard. I selected reinstall packages because when I flashed my first rom on my infuse this step was required. Nothing happeded afterwards but the install didn't error out like its doing now. After nothing changed I than went back to rom manager and went to download rom, found the rom I wanted, selected download. After it downloaded I got an install prompt.I selected wipe data and cache (again, my infuse required this step) after that nothing seemed to change. I went back to rom manage and noticed a section that says install rom from sdcard, I opened that and say a download folder, opened the folder and saw the rom but I back out because I wasn't too sure about that process. I booted back into recovery and for some.dumb reason I clicked format internal and external sdcard. Now I'm getting this error message, and I have no downloads.

A Noobs Guide to Getting Started with a Custom Rom on the Nook Color
So you heard about the nook color. How it's a cheap e-reader that can be pushed to the limit and you are wondering how you can enable this power for yourself. Well you came to the right place!
Table of Contents
1. Why you should NOT use Honeycomb
2. SD or Internal instal
a. SD install
b. internal install
3. Restoring to Stock
4. Other Cool Stuff
5.Issues
6. Conclusion
7. Changelog (Last update 1/10/12)
1. Why you should NOT use Honeycomb
So you've heard about how the Nook Color can run Honeycomb and you are thinking that you want to try it. I mean why not? It's a tablet OS and the Nook is supposed to be turned into a tablet right? Well here's how it is. Honeycomb unlike other versions of Android is not an open source release. That means that developers cannot see how it works and have to reverse engineer basically the entire thing. This leaves you will something that barley runt because of countless missing drivers and many bugs from the SDK simulator. Honeycomb is a very painful and unstable experience. Do not use it. Wait for the next version of Android codename Ice Cream Sandwich to come out. For now use CM7. To check on the progress of CM9 (AKA ICS) check out this thread where you can find the first alpha builds.
2. SD or Internal install
The first decision you need to make is if you want to install CM7 (Android) over your current stock firmware or to run from an SD card.
a. SD Install
The benefit of running from an SD card is that you get to keep your Nook's current stock rom along side your Android install. The downside is that Android will run terribly if you do not use the correct SD card.
When running from an SD card use ONLY a SANDISK CLASS 2 or 4!
Take a look at this thread here for why you need to use a Sandisk:
Instructions for installing to an SD card
b. Internal Install
I recommend you do an internal install just because it is more stable and a lot easier to troubleshoot and upgrade to a newer CM version. If you ever need to return to stock it is very easy (see part 3).
To install to your internal memory follow this guide
Remember if you have a newer Nook that came with stock version 1.2 or above you may want to follow the repartitioning instructions here to have more space available to save files.
3. Restoring to Stock
So something happened and you need to return to stock. You need to make a warranty claim, register you device with BN, or whatever.
Here is what you need to do
When you are done you will have a complete stock Nook to do whatever you want with.
4. Other Cool Stuff
Watch Hulu with a hacked flash app
Make your Nook more Honeycomb like with TransformerBread
5. Issues
Help Facebook keeps force closing!!!!!
Solutions:
1. Use Facebook 1.6 or lower
2. Use tetherGPS lite
3. Use a third party app

N64oid won't work!!!!
Starting with N64oid 2.0 and above the new .32 Nook kernel used in CM7 does not work with N64oid.
Solutions:
Use a version of N64oid before 2.0
Use an older version of CM7 without the .32 kernel
Use this thread for help:
6. Conclusion
I hope this guide helped you out. If you think there is anything I should add or you have any questions feel free to comment.

Overclock/undervolt is included in the CM7.1 kernel.
Overclocking is built in to the CM settings. To undervolt you need to use the Nook Tweaks app.

Link provided by koolkid was for 1.0.1 but I think it was the standard procedure for any other version.
I'm eager to learn a new, better way.
I just substitute the full 1.3 .zip for the CM7 and gaaps .zips when booting with the original install image and it works fine. I recommend everyone who installs CM7 to the eMMC save their original install SD card for future needs and buy a 2nd one for use with CM7. The 1.3 .zip now seems to be missing from the drop box site though so someone will need to repost it. It was linked in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690&page=29
Thanks for a very useful thread ... even though I already have mine running on CM7 since last month, really grateful for the info regarding the Facebook FC.
I'm still very much a noob at this.
One suggestion for more info regarding an issue which many noobs like me may have: How to expand the partition to use the rest of the SD card. On my 16Gb card, it now has four partitions: Boot, 2x unallocated, and Storage. Using EASUS PartitionMaster, how do I expand the fourth partition ? Do I have to delete the two unallocated ? Any further info regarding this would be very much appreciated !!
If I use App2SD, which partition would those programs go to ? Seeing that I already booted from SD, the Apps are already on the SD, right ? No need to "move to SD" ?
Thanks ahead for the schooling !!

For your first question: just right click the 4th partition, select resize and then make sure everything is selected.
For your 2nd question: I'm not exactly sure as I do not use an SD install. Maybe someone else with more SD booting experience can help but what I am thinking is that all of your apps are on the 2nd or 3rd partition but when you use app2SD they get moved to the 4th partition.

Unfortunately you cannot use the 8 failed boot method if you replace the stock recovery which most do when installing CM. That is why I used the method I did with this guide. It works no matter what is on your internal memory.

I'm probably slow but your provided link is for rooting the 1.2/1.3 NC using ManualNooter. It has nothing to do with reverse back to stock ROM.
And, the complete wipe near the bottom of the first post, again, has nothing to do with reversing if currently running custom ROM on eMMC.
A mod should definitely sticky this...most helpful thread I've read in the general forum yet.
Thank you so much
I just got a refurbished Nook Color and after hours of searching and reading I came across your post. This guide is a like a mother-load of good links and clear instructions. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. It has really helped me understand what was needed to get my NC up and running.
This is a really helpful guide for beginner.
I want to ask some thing about the whole workflow. I've used other Android phones to play with rooting and flashing new roms, but NC is quite new to me. So still need to make sure about something.
In this guide, there is nothing about rooting. And when I use CM7 from a SD card, I don't have to do that and already got the su in terminal. So I suppose if I just flash CM onto the eMMC, I'll get root access anyway. I don't have to root it right now in its stock system, right?
-Updated the Restoring to stock guide to use a 1.3 and the newest clockwork it's on Android Central for now but I might move it over here if I get some time.

Nope, no need to root if you are going to flash CM7 because of the ability to boot a custom recovery from an SD card.
Finally got my Sprint CDMA Gtab with broken internal Sd working on CM10.1. However I can't get the gapps package install and I don't have a working clkworkmod recovery ... It always gets clobbered.
Is there an easy way to install gapps from within Android?
Cm10.1 kernel definitely contains a cwm recovery.
How is yours without one?
Gapps is a pack of apk and files.
Read the updater-script in its META-INF folder and you can do exactly like what the script does, manually.

This is one of those CDMA Gtabs with the busted internal SD so all the partition assignments are screwy. The ROM I've had most luck with is the CM10.1 with the Humberos? Kernel... Don't know if it contains CWM. Every time I flash in the ROM it wipes CWM but if I reinstall CWM then the ROM doesn't boot so right now they are mutual exclusive.
Trying to install a gapp apk file with FileManager doesn't work... It gets going but then says install failed... I presume the partitioning is screwing it up.... Gave it perms and made /system rw, still no go.
Anyways I just reinstalled the whole thing, oddly I have to flash another CM10 ROM first with CWM (which doesn't boot) then follow it with the 10.1 ROM but this time I also did the gapps. Now everything is 'fine' although I still don't have CWM...
UPDATE: I see that others are finding their recovery clobbered with this Rom...
