Easiest way to install the Nook Android App? - Nook Color General

I'm running CM7, and I'm Canadian. Whenever I try to install the Nook Android App it says requested item not found. Is there some way I can install this?
I got an SD card with honeycomb on it (I hated it) so I wiped it and install CM7 with apps and I cannot for the life of me get the nook android app back on it like he did (he was American) Does anyone have a trick to get this to work?

Probably the easiest way: (Search how for each of these steps)
Make your SD card bootable with Clockwork Mod Recovery
Download to your PC the .zip file of the ROM you want to install
Place the ROM in the root directory of your SD card
Turn off the Nook and put the card in
Turn on the Nook. It will Boot into Clockwork
Once in Clockwork, Wipe the Cache, Dalvik Cache and Data
Flash the ROM (install the .zip file from the SD card)
When it completes, remove the card and re-boot. (The first boot can take quite a while!)
RECOMMENDED: Also download and install the GoogleApps.zip the same way you installed the ROM
(As I mentioned, you'll have to search for the exact directions for these steps, but that's how I'd do it.

A Little Help Please - Need adb wireless apk

OK, don't laugh. I have not been able to get adb working on my Nook. Multiple computers, just won't work. But, adb wireless works beautifully. So I installed nookie froyo onto my NC, and there's no market. I can't plug in and push the google apps to my device because I can't get it to recognize my device unless it's wireless. I can't do wireless because I don't have adb wireless... someone please put me out of my misery and post the .apk file. It's a free app, I hope that's ok to do. If not, and someone has a better idea of what I can do (sans reverting back to stock, putting the apk on the sd card myself and then rooting again), I'm all ears. Thanks.
Why not just find a Gapps package to flash so you have the market?
Sorry to sound like a noob, but I don't even understand what that means...
You can find the gapps package you flash in clockwork recovery here for whichever version you're running: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
Once you flash it, you should have access to market. I would post the wireless adb apk if I had it.
Thanks for the idea, but the site doesn't list the file type for Nook Color. And everything I'm reading says to flash it via adb.
Sorry, forgot you weren't on CM. When I played around with the Nookie Froyo SD image, there was market, but here is the wireless adb apk I found. Best of luck!
Help! I realise you're not talking about CM7 but I'm on CM7 without gapps. I copy it to the SD card then boot.
1. boot into recovery
2. mount SD card
3. return to menu
4. install .zip menu
4. choose from sdcard menu
6. install gapps-gb-20110120 zip
7. unmount SDcard then reboot
gapps is not there! I read somewhere that EXT-4 is involved but I don't know what's going on.

Does your clockwork say 3.0.0.6 when you are flashing? You need to flash with that specific version because CM7 now uses the ext4 filesystem.

autonooter/cm7

just purchased nook and flashed to autonooter.
was gonna hold off until the B&N update to see what it brought and didn't want to lose the magazine capabilities but can't wait anymore to go full cm7.
question: since i 'nooted, i already have cwm and the market. do i need to install again, or can i just download cm7 from the teamdouche link to sd card and boot up?
thanks in advance
anyone? little help?

Yep - you can install CM7 by getting the update.zip from teamdouche, copying it to your SD card, booting into CWM and selecting Install update.zip from SD card. This will overwrite your stock with CM7.

Are you sure of this? If you look at the steps described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227 you have to first prepare your SDCard and then install from that. I tried just installing from cwm in stock root and ended up getting assert errors and aborted installation... and if you wipe the caches like it explains needs to happen, you are stuck booting into cwm untill such time as you follow the instructions in the thread I posted, which work without a hitch if you are able to follow instructions,
migrax
What special preparation? The image being burned to the SD card is just clockwork mod, which isn't necessary if he already has CWM. Once in CWM, that guide just has you flash the CM7 update off the SD card. I don't know about the assert errors, but I don't think it has to do with how you've prepared the SD card.

So what are you wanting to do? Boot CM7 off SD card? If so, this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
Sk8house911 is right. Just make sure you flash the correct cwr from rom manager, which is 3.0.1.0 And make a backup before you do anything.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
If you want to keep the stock B&N reader, you can install CM7 to a SD card per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957. I did this and also installed a dual-boot menu, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962708, and can select either stock on the eMMC or CM7 on the SD card.
I'm quite happy with this arrangement, although I may change things around after the B&N Froyo update arrives.

[Q] Problem with rooted Nook and ROM Manager

Hi all,
I hope this is the right place to put this - I'm not sure if it's a Nook Color, Cyanogenmod, ROM Manager, or Clockworkmod issue. I just rooted my NC to CM7 using Clockworkmod and it seems to work fine. I tried installing the GoogleApps .zip file at the same time. It said it was successful, but I don't see any of the Google apps in the apps drawer.
So, I went to ROM Manager to try and fix this. When I first opened ROM Manager it said I needed an SD Card installed to use it (I had removed it after the successful flash). So I inserted the card and mounted it in Settings->Storage and tried again. Now when I click on anything it says "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install the recovery through ROM Manager first."
If I click the Install button, the dialog closes and nothing happens. If I click the menu option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" the title of the screen (ROM Manager v4.2.0.0) flashes for a split second. That's it. Nothing is installed.
If I reboot while holding the upside-down U button I eventually get an "Update failed!" screen that looks like it comes from the standard Nook UI. If I try to reboot into recovery using the Power button it just reboots as normal.
I've found a large amount of resources online regarding the "unable to reboot into recovery" issue, but I feel like I don't know enough about what I'm actually doing to implement them. I also don't know how the inability to flash ClockworkMod fits into this. It's especially strange how selecting the option to flash it actually does nothing.
Anyone have ideas?
[EDIT]
Since I'm a new user and apparently can't post links, I followed the instructions on the Cyanogenmod site's wiki.

Question, did you have clockworkmod installed on your sd when you flashed cm7 or was it installed internally? Can you boot into recovery with rom manager? If clockwork is on sd, find the newest clockwork zip and flash it with your card internally. That should allow you to update to the newest version in Rom Manager. Try reflashing gapps.

Clockworkmod was installed on the SD card.
I cannot boot into recovery using ROM Manager. It just restarts the device as normal.
I believe I have the latest CWM because I grabbed it from their website yesterday (4.2.0.0). How do I flash it internally? That's what I was attempting to do with ROM Manager. I followed the steps listed in thread #922870 on this forum (still can't post links) and I believe that results in CWM on internal memory, but ROM Manager still behaves the same way.
I did reflash gapps twice, but there is still no Maps, Market, Gmail, etc.
I just noticed something else. When I mount my SD card on the NC it shows up as empty: /mnt/sdcard has no contents. Does this indicate an error with the SD card and/or partitions? I am using the 8 GB image of CWM on my 16 GB card (because there is no 16 GB version).

Your SD card has clockwork burned as an image which the nook cannot read. You can format the card later for use (go to nookdevs website). I am attaching a zip file for clockworkmod 3.0.1.0 (credit goes to Mistar Muffin). Put that on your SD card, insert it into the nook and boot it up. It should take you into recovery. You can then flash the zip file and get Clockworkmod on your emmc. You should be able to update to the new version 3.0.2.8 from Rom Manager at that point. I think the nook is confused with the absence of Clockwork internally. As far as your rom goes, I would boot into recovery when the Clockworkmod issue is resolved and reflash the CM7 build, reboot, go back into recovery and flash the gapps. You can repeat the process with an overclocked kernel if you choose. This zip is a file that floated around the forum for awhile. It was removed when Clockworkmod got an update. I have used it on my nook. It should be safe. Good luck

Thanks for your help; unfortunately this did not work. Nothing has changed. I placed the zip file in my SD card that already has CWM imaged. I went to "Install zip from SD card" and installed the zip. It completely successfully. Then I rebooted and entered ROM Manager, which told me I needed the SD card back in. I mounted the SD card and am encountering the same issues as before.
What could I have possibly done to mess this up? I followed all the steps listed on the Cyanogenmod website and they never mention anything about flashing CWM internally. Another question - why do I need the SD card for ROM Manager if that app is downloading things from the internet?
Thanks!

Best best bet is going back to stock and trying from scratch

Sorry, my bad. I forget that Rom Manager is part of the CM7 package. You should not need the sd card for Rom Manager to work properly. I am not sure why it is calling for it. Can you reboot into recovery with the power+n method, not the SD card? If you can do that, it tells me clockwork installed correctly. If you can get there, I would do your formats (data, system) and reflash the rom. Another option, if Titanium Backup is part of the rom package try to wipe data in rom manager and give it another try. You may can do that in manage applications (I don't have my nook with me). The link below may or may not help. Look at option 3. The 3.0.1.0 zip it is calling for is the one I sent you prior. I am about out of options. Good luck.

AHA! I solved it, and it wasn't directly an issue with anything except my stupidity. I was connecting to my company's guest wireless, which as it turns out requires a username/password before you get anything other than the login screen. That is why the ROM manager was failing to flash itself - it had a worthless wifi connection. When I switched to another wireless access point it works just fine.
Thanks for your assistance bdcrim! Sorry it wasn't a more satisfying conclusion.

[Q] CM7.1 on SD...CWM on eMMC...wanna update to 1.3

Well from following some instructions on here for running CM7 off an sd card I ended up installing CWM that I did not know would go to the eMMC. So I have stock nook 1.2 software and CWM on the eMMC (by mistake), and CM7.1 on SD. I want to remove CWM off the eMMC so I can update to 1.3 and to unvoid my 2 year extended warranty. I have read through threads about returning to stock, but I haven't seen anyone with my same problem using those methods to confirm if it would work in this situation. Everyone seems to have been running some kind of root on eMMC and want to keep cwm. Also with my CM7.1 sd card out I can't get into cwm even though its on the eMMC and I have tried many ways. Do I need to have an update file on an sd card in order to get cwm to run?
Might want to post to the thread for the SD card install.
Use the second file in the first post of the link below. It will restore 1.2 stock and remove CWM from the eMMC. You will have to re-register your Nook.

1. Do I need to de-register my Nook first?
2. Will CWM 3.2.0.1 work for this?
2. If I put the file on a SD card and power on the Nook will it automatically go to CWM?
3. Is the factory reset and option in the CWM menu?

Actually if you have a separate bootable CWM microSD card (3.2.0.1 should be fine as 416 said) the Nook will default to booting from the SD card when you power on. No need to hold the N button. If the update file (zip format) I pointed to is on the SD card then you can pick it and install from the CWM menu that will come up. (I would make a backup of your current state onto the bootable CWM SD card first and copy the files to your PC just in case.)

EDIT* Ok guys here is my problem now. For the life of me it would not boot into recovery, so I tricked it by trying to install the 1.3 update which goes in CWM but fails. Once in the CwM menu after 1.3 failing I mounted the sd card and tried installing the zip that was on it. When trying to install it says installation failed and something else about verification failed similar to the 1.3 failed. Any help guys?
Would my next option be to create a CWM bootable SD? Anyone have the appropriate link?

Hrm.. seems like that may be beyond my paygrade...
Just to clarify (and sorry I can't be more specific as I just removed CWM, so I can't repeat my steps), when I did it:
1. I downloaded the aforementioned zip onto a spare sd.
2. I booted into CWM (it seems like your trick should be fine, after it gets you back to the main menu).
3. I selected "choose zip from SD" or something like that.
4. I selected choose zip from sd again (ignoring the "update.zip" option).
5. It did it's thing.
6. I selected back several times, to get main menu again.
7. I selected "factory reset" (wipe data & cache)
8. It did it's thing.
9. Reboot and I was good to go.
If that doesn't work, this thread has the instructions on taking it back to stock by creating a CWM card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720
Hope it helps.
This is what I did
1. placed the zip file on a sd card
2. insert into the nook
3. power on
4. cant boot into recovery so placed the 1.3 update on emmc to fool it into going into recovery
5. 1.3 update failed but just used it to get into recovery
6. mounted sd card
7. select install zip from sd card
8. chose the file from sd card
9. yes install file from sd card
10. did not get a progress bar like the 1.3 update b4 failing
11. install failed...verification error (similar to 1.3 update error)
The problem with the thread you linked is that its using CWM 3.0.0.5 when the thread about restoring NC 1.2 says it need at least CWM 3.0.1.0
Hrmm... maybe the zip is a bad file? Have you tried downloading it again?
Beyond that, someone with more expertise may need to chime in.
Sorry about the out-of-date thread. It's just the one I bookmarked after I realized I had accidentally installed CWM to my emmc instead of my SD. I never got around to it; dtbrewer's post today seemed like an easier fix.
I got it guys. I used this site to make a bootable sd...http://mrm3.net/nook-color-updated-clockwork-recovery-bootable-sd/
Wrote the image to the sd installed the zip file and now I'm updated to 1.3 on the stock software and my 2 year extended warranty isn't voided anymore. THANKS GUYS!

Posted this in another thread, but thought I'd ask here as well. If you follow the fix listed in this thread, can you use the dual boot sd card and still have B&N 1.3? Or does updating to 1.3 mean you can no longer use the dual boot sd card. What I'd ideally like to have is dual boot from SD, but when I choose to boot to emmc, it will run the 1.3 B&N firmware. Is that even possible?

Updating CM7

Hi all
I have been lazy all these days & currently on CM7 version 72 I guess. Now I want to update it to latest nightly, 208.
I currently have ROM Manager 4.4.0.7. And I think the ClockWorkMod installed is no longer exists. Because in ROM Manager when I click on "Manage & Restore Backups" it says I must have CWM installed. SO I guess earlier version of CWM is gone now.
Earlier I used to update CM7 by preparing SD card, moving the ZIP file to it & flashing in ROM Manager by booting into recovery.
Now I have forgotten every damn thing, so I want to know how to update to latest nightly. Thanks in advance
Was just there.
I was actually in a similar situation as you earlier this morning, and was able to update just now. To recap what you have to do:
[Since I'm a new user and can't post URL's, just add http colon // to the following addresses]
Get Eyeballer's clockwork image: tinyw.in/0Vw
Decompress the image.
Burn the decompressed image to a microSD card with this: launchpad.net/win32-image-writer
(As I'm sure you know, that'll erase everything in the card, so back it up first. Also, it'll show up as 1GB. When you're done with the upgrade you have to reformat it to get the full space back)
Copy onto the microSD card's root directory the following:
The newest multiuboot: dl.dropbox.com/u/20480343/multi-uboot-v0.4.zip
The newest nightly image: download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore
Don't decompress them!
Boot the NookColor with the microSD card inserted. A pair of skulls should show up, indicating that Clockwork is booting.
Once booted, one of the menu options is "backup/restore". From there you can do a backup, which I recommend.
(In case you don't remember, like I didn't: Use the volume buttons to move up/down, use the "n" button to select a menu item, and use the power button to go back to a previous menu)
For the actual upgrade, choose "install from zip", and select the nightly image zip file, and then confirm.
After the upgrade, repeat the "install from zip" with the multiuboot zip file.
And you're done with the Nook!
As for your microSD card:
If you did a backup, you'll find a folder named after the date and time in the microSD card, in clockwork/backup/. I'd save it to the computer just in case.
Now, reformat the microSD card to get all your space back.
Finally, copy back the original files that where in the microSD.
^Thanks a lot for replying ! You have pretty much explained everything
The earlier method was also like this only & I thought there may new methods like flashing from ROM Manager etc. Anyways here is the guide - link
I didn't get one thing, why multiuboot needs to be used ?
TIA
A few questions...

(As I'm sure you know, that'll erase everything in the card, so back it up first. Also, it'll show up as 1GB. When you're done with the upgrade you have to reformat it to get the full space back)
Copy onto the microSD card's root directory the following:
The newest multiuboot: dl.dropbox.com/u/20480343/multi-uboot-v0.4.zip
The newest nightly image: download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore
Don't decompress them!
Boot the NookColor with the microSD card inserted. A pair of skulls should show up, indicating that Clockwork is booting.
Once booted, one of the menu options is "backup/restore". From there you can do a backup, which I recommend.
(In case you don't remember, like I didn't: Use the volume buttons to move up/down, use the "n" button to select a menu item, and use the power button to go back to a previous menu)
For the actual upgrade, choose "install from zip", and select the nightly image zip file, and then confirm.
After the upgrade, repeat the "install from zip" with the multiuboot zip file.
And you're done with the Nook!
As for your microSD card:
If you did a backup, you'll find a folder named after the date and time in the microSD card, in clockwork/backup/. I'd save it to the computer just in case.
Now, reformat the microSD card to get all your space back.
Finally, copy back the original files that where in the microSD.

I bought my Nook through a friend at work and as I look at the CM7 mod version it is...
CyanogenMod-7-0409211-Nightly-encore
It looks like the last nighty was done in Apr 9/2011, so it's due for a well deserved update.
1. with my mod version being so old, do I need to do incremental updates or the latest nightlies is good enough.
2. I have the rom manager but not the clockwork, where do I get this.
3. is 2gig card enough to update, i rather not format my existing card in the nook to use for my update.
Thanks

Woops, totally forgot that my Nook is dual-booting CM7 and the original B&N android OS. Either way, I'm under the impression you have to re-flash the boot code every time you change the kernel, but I may be wrong.
I guess you can try without flashing the boot code, and see if it works. If not, just reboot with the card in and flash the boot. The great thing about the Nook is that it's pretty much brick-proof.
I'd better wait for someone for more clear instructions. Anyways thanks for replying

make sure you have the latest rom manager(4.5.0.1) you can update it from the market. While in the rom manger hit "flash clockworkmod recovery" select the nook color from the list, once you've done that you can go to "download rom" and download and flash the latest nightly.

For future reference, will that work for my dual-boot setup as well? It's the one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156909&page=1
Where both OS's are in internal memory.

I'm not certain, I have limited experience with dual boot setups. Hopefully someone else here has more knowledge on the subject...
