[Q] My NC lasted all of one day.

Well day one is over and I think I might have the first bricked NC. I used CWR to flash this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932211
I kept getting a keyboard input error and it never worked correctly. I've been reading nonstop through the forum and now my NC won't turn on.
I look through the thread again, only to find out that it is locked and in red letters it now says "just keep away from the SDcard formatting option in settings." Anyone want to guess what I did before I read that? Yup, I formatted the SD card through settings.
It says to use a certain file to flash boot again but I have no idea how to do that if the thing won't even turn on. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't post in the thread because it is locked.
MY NOOK IS ALIVE AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Not sure what all I did but it's up and running again. I started with the partition file mentioned in the closed thread. I then did a full restore to 1.0. This then lead me to a boot loop with the grey N screen. From there I re-rooted and it almost loaded. After that I did the power +N button and it reinstalled 1.0 for me. I have since rooted the NC and am leaving it as is until Cyanogen comes out with their ROM.

you made a big mistake by starting off with that flash to emmc rom. You should have started with rooting the original firmware.

I rooted the NC using Huskermania's video on YouTube. I should have left well enough alone but seeing all the videos of 2.2, I wanted it as well.
Thanks you for the link. I plan to follow every step later in the day, after get some rest and relieve some stress. My only worry is, will the Nook turn on after I pop in the SD card and how long do I hold the power button before I give up?
I'm familiar with rooting and flashing phones, I am currently running CM-6.1 on an Evo and a Hero without any problems. Before that I messed with everything from the PPC-6601 to the TREO 800W.

try this:

maybe it's like the root sd and you just need to let it run without any on screen indicators. you could pm him and see if he can offer any help.
good luck.

So I've read through everything and when I installed the SDK I had issues with my PC and getting the drivers to load. I didn't install them and went straight to flashing it, so no matter which guide I followed the driver install failed.
I'm now on a Mac and I'm installing the SDK. Any advice on how to take me from step #11 and on.? I can't seem to be able to find the Windows button fo some reason.

hi -- assuming you still need help, this CWR bootable SD saved me many times.
download this file (I think you may already have it)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2248236/froyo-eMMC-0.2.img
so open terminal in your mac and insert the microSD card into an sdcardreader or adapter. If you want to be extra safe open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder in Applications and erase the SD card.
then in terminal:
$ diskutil list
(figure out which /dev/disk# is the sd card)
$ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk#
$ dd if=/path/to/that/img/file/froyo-eMMC-0.2.img of=/dev/disk# bs=1m
(then wait an inordinate amount of time when terminal won't tell you anything and you think it is not doing anything... for it to image the sd card)
when it is done, it will tell you XXXXXX files in 0 files out
remove that SD from your computer and put it back in -- it should show up in finder as "Boot" and check to make sure a "restore to 1.0.1 zip" is on it -- if not, let me know, and I'll link you that file as well. You can just copy over that zip to the newly imaged SD card if it isn't there.
once you've got that SD card imaged with the complete-restore-1.0.1.zip on it as well, make sure your nook is unplugged and powered off -- I assume, just hold down the power button for like 10 seconds just to be safe. Put the microSD into the microSD slot and plug the nook into the computer -- that tells it to boot from SD.
you should enter Clockworkrecovery at which point you need to navigate the program with the vol up vol down power and home buttons (power is back, home is select) and go to the mount option and reformat system, then data, then boot. It always freezes on me after reformatting boot, so just power off and back on and it should return to CWM. Then go through the steps to flash that recovery zip that is on the sd card! Make sure you select "select zip from SD card" and you should be good to go.
good luck.

[Q] Yup, I blew it

Hopefully there is hope for me. I've recently discovered the wonderful world of rooting and rooted my nook successfully. After root I loaded ROM Manager and started the process of backing up with the clockworkmod. (I'm very new to rooting so I'm not sure exactly where I went wrong). Somewhere in the process I got stuck in a menu loop in clockwork. I trolled the forums and attempted several things including CRW removal and Nook complete restore. I'm not sure I attempted them correctly as I was still in the CRW menu screen. Now, my nook will not even turn on plugged in or otherwise. Any help (and please make it detailed step by step) would be greatly appreciated. I'll keep my eye close to this thread throughout the evening. Thank you in advance for helping out a new rooter. ChipD

can't really help other then say that your nook is fine... just keep looking at all the 'bricking' threads in this forum. there are plenty to choose from.

I had the same issue and this worked for me. next time you flash CWR be sure you do a normal reboot B4 doing a reboot to recovery. just flash this...
CWR-removal-rootsafe I cant attach the URL but google it and it will come up in the second choice. let me know...

Thanks jarussillo. I found the file you refereed to and have it on my computer. Please give me a step by step on how to flash it without being able to see anything on my screen. I don't have any backup, all I have is a formatted sd card. Do I put the unzipped file on the card, or do I unzip the files and drop those on the card? Thanks for being willing to help.

You will need to burn a CWR SD card, then drop the zip file into the root of the sd card, then Boot off the SD card, (You might have to hold the power button down for 20secs before you will see it boot) then Flash the Zip file from CWR.
Also read this thread. FULLY read it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699

just flash the the CWR to your sd card you can search it on the site.

AWESOME! That article looks like exactly what I needed. I knew it was out there somewhere, I just couldn't find it. THANKS!!!! I'll update (hopefully with success) when I'm done.

Well, no success tonight. I downloaded all the stuff mentioned in the previous article, but the rootpack & the clockwork don't download in a zipped folder (like I even observed in a youtube video). They download as a GZ file. I'm not sure what to do with that because I can't decompress it and send it into the disk imager. What am I missing here? I'll check back in the am, thanks.

this can decompress pretty much anything, Plus its free and open source

If I remember right that gz file needs to be unpacked so you can get the img file and then write the img with windisk32 to the SD that has cwr on it. But I may be mistaken pretty new to this stuff to

What operating system are you using?
Be aware that in the rooting/CWM/ROM world you basically have ROMs and installable zips, you need to be aware of how to handle each.
If windows, you should be using winRAR to unzip image files for flashing to microSD. If the compressed file contains files and folders its most likely an installabe zip thats to be copied to a microSD AS IS and installed using clockwork recovery. If the compressed fiile has an .img file in it, its a ROM and must be burned to a microSD (effectively erasing said microSD) and then inserted into the nook while its off.
For ROMs as described above, uncompress the .img files to your hdd and then use win32disk imager to burn the .img to the microSD using a usb adapter.

pretty much burn CWR onto a uSD card then put a rom onto the uSD card in the .zip format.
put in the uSD card, plug into PC, hold the on button for a while then you'll hear the PC do the "usb device connected" noise, keep holding that power button until it powers on
most problems can be solved by writing any recent CWR onto a uSD card, the great news is that the nook color's boot priority is straight to the uSD which means any problem on the emmc isn't too big as it'll boot to uSD first

good morning all. I'm gonna get this figured out today, I feel it! Muzzy, I'm running Windows 7 64 bit.

Ok, here's where I'm at. I see the endroad (meaning I understand the steps needed for recovery) and have all the tools I need except for a proper CWR file, which seems to be the most important part. The file I downloaded from http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/ (took me about half an hour) does not give me a folder with extractable files as seen in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B31y_lyHIA (jump to 45 secs.). Instead it gives me a single gz file that is not compressed. It's not runnable through win 32 diskimager. Putting that file on an sd card and trying to boot my nook with it has no effect.
Edit: Ok, WinZip to the rescue. I was able to extract the file with WinZip and have it cooking in the disk imager now! WOOHOO!
Edit 2: All seems to be installing correctly, fingers crossed...

Getting closer, I had to use the repartition. Now it turns back on and I get the big "n". It's ocupying my entire day, but I'm actually enjoying this. I've learned a lot! Flahing Nookcolor 1.1 now. Hopefully that will finish me off.

She's BACK! Thanks for all the help. I never would have found the right info without people taking the time to point in the right direction. You guys are great!

Question on verygreen's [ROM][CM7] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer

I'm a noob with not enough privilages to post over in the developer's forum, so posting here.
I've successfully imaged and booted to CM7 using verygreen's project:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
Next step was to try adding/installing gapps and using recover. I've tried a few different times doing a few different things, but all end up rebooting (with SD in the NC) to the original boot of the NC, as if out of the box. I get the hand going over to the android and having to "Set Language" and wifi.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong and it looks like others got it to work.
Any help?

Have you actually booted into CM7? The nook boots first to the SD card, so if you can't boot now into CM7 that means that something has changed on the SD card. In other words, on boot the nook looks for something useful (like a bootable OS) on the card and if it can't find it boots to internal (original B&N OS).
So, do a normal power up and see if you boot into CM7 on the sd card. If so, see below about booting in recovery (once you've added the google files). If not, something's amiss with the image on the card.
YOu may be having a problem booting into recovery -- this is pretty common. It can be tricky timing the release of the buttons. Follow the directions on verygreen's post carefully. Push the N button first, then power, count off about 6 seconds and make sure that you see the message before releasing. Took me a few tries to get the recovery screen instead of booting normally.
I can tell you that I've done this a few times and it does indeed work. The only tricky part is timing to button thing when booting into recovery.

Yep, I did boot into CM7... The wallpaper changed and there were new icons, of which I can't remember at the moment.
I know what you are saying about entering recovery mode... I think I got that set. I can see when entering recovery mode, as the penquin icon is shown and then all the messages come up, including expanding the zip files.
My problem is getting the gapps included. I've tried just copying over the gapps zip file and do recovery with that. I've tried copying both the CM7 nightly and the gapps zips and do recovery. I also noticed the instructions:
•Get u-boot.zip file from attachment in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=153
•Unpack the u-boot.bin file and put it onto parttion 1 of the SD card instead of the one there.
•Rename file named uRecImage on the first partition to uRecImg (doh!)
•Get this uRamdisk file, rename it to uRecRam and then put the result to the 1st partition on the uSD card instead of the file with the same name there
I've also done that... still boots to as if it is a brand new, out of the box Nook. I take it that means the SD is messed up. So I'm doing something wrong in how to get the gapps on.

Sounds like the easiest way for you is to start over.
Re-image your card with verygreen's 1.1 from the beginning of his post.
Then download the version of CM7 you want (verygreen's or rc4 or whatever)
add this .zip to the sd card, download gapps and also add this to the sd card.
Insert into nook and boot.
You have to put these zips on the sd card BEFORE you boot into CM7 the first time. This is why you have to re-image.
This is what I did and everything worked great. Skip the gapps login until you have wifi setup of course and everything should be fine.

Yup, sounds like danbutter has it right. I know how frustrating this is, but it really is worth it.
You may have problems prepping your SD card to re-image because of partitioning. One way to start with a really clean slate is to download Paragon Partition Manager (the free addition) and totally wipe all the existing partitions. Windows disk manager won't do it.

I don't know exactly what it is with this, but I have never had this issue and I have re flashed a couple sd cards many many times playing with this and all I have ever done was select the new image and write it to the card.
Is this something to do with certain card readers or what?
I'm using a five year old HP laptop and its built in card reader.
Just curious

Dummy Guides for SD Card CM7 on Nook Color

I keep seeing SD card rooting questions. I'm providing a link to some guides that describe in gory detail how to get CM7 up and running on an SD card (for both MAC OSX and PC). These guides are built off of verygreen's size-agnostic SD card thread and he deserves any and all credit. All that I (DrAstro) and DrWho have done is expound on the easy-to-follow steps that he provides from the perspective of trying to teach someone who is only mildly computer literate.
http://clubnook.com/forum/showthread.php?953-Rooting-Instructions
If this helps, go to verygreen's SIZE AGNOSTIC card thread and give him thanks.

I've just copied and pasted directly from Clubnook in case people don't want to link over there. If this is useful for you, comment and I'll keep it updated. If not, just let it fall into the ether...
CM7 - SD Card - Mac Version
INSTALLING CM7 (CyanogenMod 7/Android 2.3) ONTO A MICROSD CARD FOR USE WITH NOOK COLOR
Thanks to DrAstro for the following instructions:
I used the instructions from verygreen (who deserves any and all credit):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1000957
I did nothing other than follow exactly what he said to do and was up and running with full android market access in about 10 minutes (with a 5 minute nap in the middle!). It was literally that easy. I’ve just expanded, in gory detail, on the basic.
Basically, what you are doing here is taking a microSD card, making it so that the nook color can boot from it, putting a new OS on that card (CM7) and then adding the android market. At the end, you will be able to run a more tablet-like experience from your microSD card without doing anything to the internal software that BN put on there. Here are steps, with heavy borrowing from verygreen’s guide. Hopefully you will read and understand what you are doing, so that you can pick and choose which OS zip you want to use.
NOTE: These are mac specific instructions, as that’s what I used!
1) Downloaded the following files and put them on your desktop:
generic-sdcard-v1.2.1.img.gz
(http://nook.handhelds.ru/sdimage/gen...-v1.2.1.img.gz) - This file makes your SD card bootable. This is probably the “hardest” part of the process as you have to “burn” this image to the card, not just “drag and drop”
update-cm-7.1.0-RCO-encore-2.6.32-beta3.1.zip
(http://coachz.inetpro.org/~dalingrin...32-beta3.1.zip) – This is the latest beta version of CM7 that was available at the time I did this! There may be some instability, but they fixed the battery issues with this release so the tradeoff is worth it.
Or get the latest stable version update-cm-7.0.2-encore.zip
(http://tinyurl.com/3vyanhh)
gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
(http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.ph...Latest_Version) – This was the latest google apps version that was available when I did this. It will give you access to the android market!
2) Get any microSD card that you don't mind trashing the data on. There a LOTS of options out there, but I would HIGHLY SUGGEST getting a SANDISK, CLASS 4, 8 GB or 16 GB card. It is by far the most likely card to work well for you.
Also get a reader for your microSD card. I got one that plugs into my USB port and lets me see my microSD card on my desktop.
3) The first step is to install the .img file to the microSD card. First, you need to double click it on your desktop and let mac osx unzip it for you. It should do this nicely and your resultant file will be:
generic-sdcard-v1.2.1.img (i.e. the .gz at the end will go away)
To install the .img onto the microsd card, put the micro sd card into your card reader. It should pop up on your desktop as a disk. Mine was called “no name”.
To write the image (called burning the .img file to), you need to do the following:
-Find which drive the sd card is mapped to. To do this on mac, you can use the terminal:
how to open the terminal:
a) Go up to the magnifying glass in the top right of your mac.
b) Click on it and search for the word “terminal”. The first thing it finds should be a little black box with the word Terminal.
c) Click on that and a window should open on your desktop. That window should say something like Terminal – bash – 80x24 in the top line and then have a bunch of words, maybe something about Last login: and finally a line that ends in a dollar sign $. Here’s where you will type in your commands.)
Inside of that terminal, after the dollar sign ($) first, type:
cd Desktop
That will take you to your desktop. If you now type
ls
This should show you a list of all the files and folders on your desktop. All the terminal does is let you work with files using text commands rather than a nice graphical interface (i.e. clicking on windows and stuff)
Now that you know a couple basics on “terminals” type this:
diskutil list
This lists all the spaces on your computer where things are stored. You need to unmount the microSD card that you just plugged in. This will allow you to erase the card and put what you want on it. You need to look at this list and figure out which drive# is your microSD card. To the far right, you will see the disk size. Your microSD card should be around that same size as what you bought (for example, I’m using an 8GB card and found the disk that was around 7.5 GB).
Once you know the right disk (mine was disk1, yours may be different) unmount that drive by typing this:
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk<#>
(to be explicit, my drive was disk1 so I typed: diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1)
It should say: Unmount of all volumes on disk<#> was successful
Next type:
dd if=generic-sdcard-v1.1.img of=/dev/disk1
Everything needed should copy right over to the card. It took my laptop 140 s.
Now unmount the microSD card, but NOT the same way as what you just did. How? Remember when you connected the microSD card and a folder popped up on your desktop? Right click on that and select “unmount”. Note, it might be the case that the folder was renamed “boot”. If that’s the case, that is the folder to unmount.
After the microSD card disappears from your desktop, remove your microSD card from the laptop and plug it back in. The folder named “boot” should pop up on your desktop. Now the easy part.
Drag and drop the file:
update-cm-7.1.0-RCO-encore-2.6.32-beta3.1.zip or update-cm-7.0.2-encore.zip
Into the “boot” folder. Now right click on the “boot” folder and unmount.
Take out the microSD card and put it into the nook color. Turn the nook color on and it will boot. A little penguin might pop up followed by lots of techie looking things flashing on your screen. That’s fine. Keep an eye open and when its done, the screen will go blank. It should turn itself off, but probably won’t reboot. You need to hold down the power button for around 8 seconds to turn it back on. It will reboot into CM7.
(note: This is updated from prior CM7 installations (i.e. these instructions are specific to installing the CM7 beta). If your unhappy with the performance of the beta, you can install a CM7 version that’s labeled as “stable”. The stable versions occasionally need to be turned off manually (i.e. by holding down the power button for 8 seconds)).
You’re almost there. You should have a homescreen with a few icons. Find the one labeled “settings”. Open this up, go to Wireless & networks, and connect to your wireless network. Now CM7 is ready to go online and you can turn off the nook color and install the Android Market.
You need to turn off the nook color. Take out the microSD card and connect it to your computer again. This time, two folders will pop up. One called “boot” and one called “sdcard” or something similar
This time, drag and drop:
gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
into the boot folder. Now comes the second hardest part, booting into recovery. The process depends on the version you are installing.
If you are installing the beta version I reference above then put the microSD card into the nook color and boot into CM7. Once you’re in CM7, hold the power button until a menu pops up and choose to “reboot”. Choose to reboot into “recovery” and you should be all set.
If you’re installing one of the “stable” versions, put the microSD card into the nook color and boot to Recovery Mode. In order to do this hold the nook N key and press and hold the power button for ~5-6 seconds. It may take a couple of tries. The screen may turn off a couple times. You may boot into CM7 a couple times. Eventually, with luck on your side, you will successfully boot into “recovery mode” and google apps will be installed. Once you manage to boot into recovery the screen will flash up lots of techie text, similar to when you started CM7. It should go blank when this is done. At this point you can turn it off by holding power for around 8 seconds. Turn it back on, follow the screen instructions and you should be good to go with an android tablet with the full android market, all running from your microSD card!

Setup Wizard stuck?
I actually got this working on the first try a couple weeks ago and it was fantastic!
I was able to play netflix and flash for the first time, and now my dad wants me to do his nook the same way. He has a 16GB sd card though, and the original instructions didn't work on >8gb cards. I can't just image his SD card to my SD card because I couldn't get my google account to de-register etc, so I started from scratch with my card and planned to image to his before configuring any user accounts.
I'm having repeated trouble with my retry attempt though
Basic CM7 install with the generic-sdcard-v1.2.1 and update-cm-7.1.0-RC0-encore-2.6.32-beta3.1 (the ones recommended as of today in the instructions)
I set up wireless access, shut down, and backed up my card at this point.
Copy the current 20110307 gapps to the boot partition, eject, put it back in the nook, boot into recover (I've gotten good at this), it installs, shut down. Back up my card again as I figure this is where I'll want to start the other card.
Back to the Nook, boot up, get past the CyanogenMod scateboard screen, and it goes to "Setup Wizard". This should be for setting up the Google Apps Marketplace account I think, except it's completely black except for grey bar across the top with "Setup Wizard" on it, and the bar across the bottom with menu/back/search/battery indicator etc (these do nothing).
I can press power button and get only two options: shut down the tablet or reboot the tablet. I can rotate the nook and the UI changes orientation. Nothing else does anything as far as I can tell.
Anyone else seen this problem? I've searched, and even tried to post to the dev thread, but I can't due to low post count.
Help! (and thanks in advance!)

*.gz img file not recognizable & not zipped
Hi. I rooted my Nook with Autonooter and love using it. YouTube and all work fine, but I would like to redo with CM7. I have all that I need, except I'm caught with the img file this time round. It has an extension .gz. Win32DiskImager does not recognize it. Some sites say that it needs to be unzipped, but it's not zipped. I hate being stuck before even beginning. I hope that you can explain why I'm having this trouble. TY!

The .gz file is just a compressed .img file.
There are a number of Windows apps that can de-comress the file, for example: 7-Zip
Martyn

Hi Martyn, Thanks again. Now, DiskImager is coming up with an error when I try to write. It says that there is not enough space on the disk. The unzipped img file shows to be 117megs, while my SD card is 16gigs. After I got the error, I chose to format the disk but have the same error. Do you mind to help again?

I saw this suggested: "I did a full format (not quick) and used WinImage to write the SD card instead. Works every time since then," by TL Jester here. I"m just curious why there always seems to be a roadblock.

I had this same problem, i discovered that it created a partition on the sd card... I had easeus partition master home edition, which i used to resixe the partition and you can see your full 16GB then.

I had an error message like this too. It turns out it was because I was trying to use the internal card reader in my laptop. I bought an external USB card reader, and it worked fine with the same card.

Ditto, same problem, same solution. When you write the image to the card it seems to create a default boot partition of 117mg. When I tried to put both the rom and gapps in the boot partition after writing the image, I got that message (but not every time). So I made the boot partition bigger before adding rom and gapps, using Easus. I increased it to 150mg or so, that was plenty.
One time image+rom+gapps barely fit in the boot partition, and while installing I got an error that said not enough space in disc. I redid it, making the partition bigger, and it worked. I think the installation process may temporarily use some of that boot partition space.

CM7 youtube videos

Hey guys- Can someone please post links to a good tutuorial on how to install CM7?
Sorry for the noob question, I've searched but haven't found anything "simple" for me to follow.

Try this one and make sure you use the most recent version of CWR (3.2.0.1): http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-nightlies/

Do you want to install it on the internal emmc or run from a SD card?
I am running from SD and found that this series of videos helped a lot:

I installed it onto my sd card tonight in about 15min using this guide:

Don't worry it is quite easy. It might look advanced but once you begin to do it, its as simple as putting files onto an SD card and thing pressing the volume keys and the home button a few times. Just do not skip steps and you will be fine.
Also, make sure you have a micro-sd card otherwise CM7 won't boot, its required. Here is a guide to install it into the Internal Memory (EMMC)
Just follow it step by step and you will be fine.

I will try it out this weekend.. Thanks again!

I followed these instructions and I'm up to the following step-
4. Reboot your nook color with the SD card in. It should now boot into clockworkmod(CWR)
5. clockwork mod is an environment to install roms and programs before the operating system boots to navigate use the volume buttons for up and down. home to select and power as the back button.
- I rebooted with the SD card but my screen is stuck on "loading" with skulls on each end

If this is the first time you have gotten to this screen you should be good. What brand, size and class card are you using?
If you previously got this far and followed the instructions you should have pulled the card and then rebooted. Try booting without the card and tell us where you are.....
