I flashed dalingrin's OC kernel for my NC running rooted stock 2.1. CWR said the flash was successful but when I open SetCPU the slider will only go up to 800. It won't let me overclock past that value. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this so I can ramp things up a little bit. Is there a way to check the files with Root Explorer to see if the kernel "took"? Thanks.
Ok I figured it out on my own. I went into the Rom manager app and pressed 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery' and the option came up for either Nook Color (old) or NookColor. I had read in another thread to chose the old version (which I had done first) but "nemith" here on XDA said to always pick the one that says NookColor. So I flashed that one, rebooted into Recovery, wiped the dalvik and cache, and flashed the OC kernel .zip again and voila!, I can now overclock up to 1100.
Did you read the bit that said clockwork recovery won't work for backups if you flash it through ROM Manager?
You probably want the flashable clockwork recovery from here, so that you can make backups, etc?

I flashed a froyo 1100 kernel. Now the nc starts gets to the lockscreen then either restarts or lets me unlock and powers off. I made a cwm backup right before but it doesnt give enough time to get to cwm.
am I screwed?
You need to make a bootable CWM sd card with the stock kernel on it (available in the same thread you got the OC kernel from) and flash it. Perhaps your nook is one of the few that just can't handle the 1.1ghz OC. Or, If you're really gun-ho about overclocking it, I would try redownloading and reflashing the OC kernel. It may have been either a bad download or flash.
Ok, found out holding the N and power allowed me to restore my backup. Then found another kernel that actually worked. Now if i could only find the bes browser, this thing would be perfect.
Dolphin Mini is awesome on my DX. Dolphin HD is ok too.
Some like Xscope.
I kinda liked opera mobile and firefox is cool but no flash support yet
Having an issue with retaining my oc' in CM7/Phiremod. I have Dalingrin's Froyo/CM7 eMMC kernel flashed. In CM7 under CyanogenMod Settings I can choose 1000/1100 and everything runs fine, however when I reboot it does not retain the OC'. It reverts back to 800mhz default. This is with "Set on Boot" Checked or unchecked.
Can anyone comment on this? Thanks guys.
Wasn't have luck in any of the other threads. Figured I would try this here.
are you using the 2/23/11 oc kernel or an older one?
Did you flash the OC using the CWM on the sd card, or flash via Rom manager's CWM? It needs to be flashed via CWM on the ext4 sd card that you used to flash phiremod.
I've had no issues OC'ing this way...

I used thecubed's ext4 bootable CWM SD card to flash the kernel.
I can OC the nook just fine. It runs stable at 1000/1100. However when I reboot it, it reverts back to stock clocking.
bump up...
Anyone else having issues with oc'ing their nook?
no problems
ive been running the overclock kernel for about 24 hours now and i havnt had any major problems. only rebooted on me once but other than that all good. maybe try flashing the kernel again...
I'm having some random reboots with this kernel but otherwise the setting persists after reboot.
Dumb newbie question: I've got a new NC, successfully autonootered and running with no problems. Can I use CWM and flash Dalingrin's OC kernel for Eclair, or do I have to be running the vanilla Android 2.1 to use that kernel?
No, you can install the OC kernal on 1.1.
use rom manager to flash recovery, but you need to reboot the nook normally before rebooting into CWR, or you'll be stuck in it. after normal reboot, boot into recovery, install zip from sdcard (where you saved the kernal), get setcpu from market and overclock.
I have a Samsung Captivate, and keep seeing people talk about CF-Root(I believe it's a program that roots so correct me if I'm wrong). I rooted my Samsung Captivate using Superoneclick. I want to flash Onecosmic's ICS rom for the Samsung Captivate, but people keep mentioning CF-Root. Do I have to unroot, and then re root using CF-Root? Or Since I now have CWM on Android 2.2(rooted stock) can I simply flash CM7, and then flash One Cosmic's Rc3.1 rom. Also can I flash CM7 from Android 2.2, or do I have to down date android back to eclair and then flash CM7. Thank everyone so much, and please help me move this to the correct area if it has already been made before. I searched on XDA and found nothing about "rooting different methods". Thanks again.
Rooted is rooted. If you have cwm then it doesn't matter what os you're on, in fact if you would have just flashed a custom kernel with Odin that has cwm compiled into it you wouldn't even need to root to flash a ROM.

Like Studacris said, root is root. You can also flash CM7 from Froyo. HOWEVER, if you don't already have CWM recovery (which is not the same as being rooted, and I suspect you don't actually have), you won't be able to flash CM7 from where you are now.
If you actually have CWM, you can just flash CM7 from 2.2. If you don't, follow the instructions here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide
to get CM7 and go from there.
Studacris is right, flashing a kernel (any kernel) with CWM from Odin or Heimdall is the easiest way to go, and then use that kernel's CWM to flash from there. Because of Froyo's 3e recovery, rooting it doesn't gain you much in the way of flashing ROMs because the stock recovery isn't going to let you flash anything anyway, rooted or not.
I am rooted, and I actually do have CWM installed( 3 button combo works), but do I need to install CWM the way it says, or is using rom manager to do it ok?. I've rooted 3 inspires and have put the Revolution HD Rom on them. Just didn't want to mess up this Samsung. Thanks for the helpful comments.
ROM manager does more harm than good. Just get cwm and your golden. (by update.zip or kernel with it baked in. 3e recovery won't use update.zip)

This is what I was trying to explain. Just because you can get to the recovery console does not mean you have clockworkmod, unfortunately.
You have to install it the way the directions say to. You can try using ROM Manager, but it won't work on 2.2. You will get a signature verification error and it will stop. You can try it if you want, you won't mess anything up, it just won't work.
If you really think you already have it, reboot into recovery. If you have it, it will say "ClockworkMod Recovery Version x.x.xxx" across the top. If it does, just flash CM7 from there with the "Install Zip From SD" option. If it says "Samsung 3e Recovery" and doesn't have that option, you don't have CWM and you won't be able to flash anything from there, including a CWM installer.
As far as ROM Manager is concerned, I would recommend steering clear of it in general. It worked well in 2.1 but you can't use it to install CWM in anything since then and you tend to get odd behavior with it when using it to do anything else. Follow the ClockworkMod directions, I have used them several times with no issues.
Thanks apbthe3, you were 100% correct. I see that I have to flash a new kernel with CWM built in, thanks. I thought that it looked differennt than the CWM ON MY INSPIRE so I checked and it didn't load up CWM. Thanks again.

Hi there
I am currently on a newly installed JVU that was pre-rooted by [Ramad], so I am actually on a stock kernel. I intend to keep it this way without any custom kernel or rom.
Now I would like to make a Nandroid backup of my phone but I can't do it with my default recovery menu that is without CWM.
Question is, is there any way for me to install CWM on top of the stock kernel so that I can do a backup from recovery? I do not wish to install a custom kernel just for access to CWM. Or is there an app that I can use to simply do a Nandroid backup without needing CWM at all?
PS: I tried using ROM Manager to do a Nandroid, but it would simply reboot my phone to recovery.
Anyone please?
It's my understanding that you need to flash a kernel that has CWM built into it.
CF-Root and Semaphore are the most common ones for this.
did you try the CWM Recovery App, couldn't remember where it is on xda but a search would help
Fairly new to all of this myself but I'm not really sure you need to do a Nandroid back up if you don't plan to run anything other than the stock ROM & kernel.
This type of backup is really for those installing custom roms & kernels etc.
It is my understanding that to run CWM you needed to be rooted (could be wrong). CF-Root is basically a rooted stock kernel so if you wish to do a Nandroid back flash CF-Root that way you can have CWM.
If you are rooted you can use Rom Manager to install CWM. Then boot into recovery (power button, volume up & home button) and do everything within CWM.
Hope that helps.

Hi
I do know the popular ones but I wish to remain at stock as I will be passing the phone to my mum soon.

Actually I am already rooted but I am on a stock kernel without CWM. As for Rom Manager, I have mentioned that it doesn't work. Seems like it requires a CWM enabled kernel for it to work.
I want to do a Nandroid backup now as I will be handing over my phone to my mum in afew months time. And I am pretty sure I'll make changes to the phone in the meantime. So I would like to have a Nandroid that I can restore to before I pass it over.
As for CF-root, I'll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.
Same problem here- rooted with stock, and won't go on installing a new ROM before being able to save nand backup...
I think the problem of ROM manager not installing recovery is related to stock recovery version that needs downgrading from 3e to 2e- I reckon to have seen some thread about it here.
