If you're not sure, do it from sd.

I really Just need a guide on a few things. I'm good with flashing anything else. Plus I don't have a class 6 SD just class 2. :/

Use the monster file thread link to build a 1 gig cwr boot disk with your sd. Drag and drop that file in the v4 emmc flashable.. Follow the instructions to boot from sd, wipe system, data (boot is optional, some say they do it without wiping boot, but I myself wiped) it will crash when wiping boot, just hold the power button and turn it back on. Then flash like any rom in cwr and when its finished take the sd out then select reboot... It will take you into honey comb... Check the threads for more help

I've got HC v04 preview running on eMMC (not SD card), and for me it is very stable.
I followed the instructions over on AndroidCentral. Here is the link:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/barn...ook-color.html
The actual zip was produced by samuelhalff, whose thread can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947071
I've got access to the market, apps seem to install fine, and all my old B&N stuff is still available. Frankly I prefer the free B&N Reader I downloaded from the market to what I had with the stock Nook. Even better, the kernal included in the package was already OC'd to 1.1Mhz, and I'm consistently getting 1,500 to 1,600 on Quadrant.
For me the total install was pretty smooth...just remember to follow instructions exactly.
FYI: The above link also includes instructions on installing to an SD card.

did u do anything special to get your market to run? I cannot get it to download anything and after I cleared the cache stuff, the market wont even open.
When I first installed HC, I had the dreaded "market problem".
I can't find the original post to give proper credit, but I followed the following steps which resolved the problem.
Go to Settings=>Applications=>Manage Applications and select Google Services Framework. Under Storage, press the "Clear Data" button, then "Force Stop".
Still in Settings=>Applications=>Manage Applications, select Market. Press the "Force Stop" button.
Then reboot and it should work...at least it did for me
not for me lol, just keep getting a error has occured try again later, thanks tho.
I strongly advise flashing the internal memory instead of using the SD. You can try the SD route once, but if it fails, don't waste your time. I've bought 4 different microSD cards just to try getting honeycomb working on NC. I read some of the recommendation in xda and purchased the cards with higher success rate. But after 4 days of fruitless efforts, I gave up today. Then I thought, what could go wrong, I don't use the Nook to read anyway, and went on to flashing the internal memory. Holy S*it. 10 minutes and I got honeycomb running.
I have somewhat reached a standstill in my NC endeavors, because I do want to continue using the device as an e-reader and keep the B&N in store features + stock apps that come with the Nook. I also really want to run Honeycomb from eMMC (class 4 sd card is cool for a bit but not really cutting it in terms of every day usability), as I am an android enthusiast, and this was one of the main reasons I bought the NC in the first place. Does anyone know if it's possible to do a dualboot of the two, without severely messing something up?
Another option I can imagine is having the stock Rom running from an SD card for B&N needs, if that is known to work any better. I'm hoping someone with more knowledge can add to my initial brainstorming of possibilities for this guy...
I had the same market problem. Then I flashed this zip through Clockwork Recovery and that seemed to fix things. Make sure and do the v003

How to root your brand new Nook Color - For Noobs on windows - I'm sure this will all work from Mac too, but I do not have one so I don't know
-I know there are plenty of threads our there for this - but I figured I would compile my journey to root so that anyone slightly confused with the process of rooting, starting over and re-flashing stock nook, using root explorer is all in one area.
First things First - Without the Cyanogenmod team, everyone who has a hand in this at XDA, Dalingrin's overclock, everyone who compiled the files for recovery, Clockworkmod team, iomonster, everyone! This wouldn't be possible. Drop by their websites and buy them a beer or two.
Secondly - I am not responsible for any damage at all, if you don't follow simple instruction then too bad for you. Also, none of the above mentioned folks are responsible for any damage to your Nook Color (NC).
NOW FOR ROOT!!!
go to http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting and follow the instructions. Download the appropriate autonooter for your software version. (this can be checked on the nook by going to settings, device info, about nook)
Follow the helpful people at NookDevs instructions and thank them for their help!
After you achieve root you should see Market app in your extras tab in the Original Nook Software, This is good, if you don't go back and try again. Now pull out your card(dont forget to unmount and format) , and turn off your nook .
Let's Begin With CM7
First you will need to make yourself a bootable clockworkmod (CWM) to run your installation from -
download winimage for your PC - http://www.winimage.com/download.htm and install the appropriate file (obviously x86 for 32 bit PC, and x64 for 64 bit)
install it!
next download 7-Zip to extract the files!!! http://www.7-zip.org/
when installed go to tools/options/ and make sure tar is checked and gz is checked. You might as well select all!
Next download bootable clockwork image http://tsunade.net/nookdev/clockwork/0.1-ext4/
I used the 1GB one on my 8GB class 4 card. It burns faster and works just fine!
Burning Process!
First insure that your already formatted card is formatted by formatting again! woot for the word format! Next-
On a computer open win image
click ok!
plug in your microSD card
click on Disk tab
go down to restore virtual Hard Disk Image
Select your microSD
find the place you saved the image after extracting through 7zip (I saved to Desktop)
Click OK and it should start burning
after five minutes or so the image will be written to the microSD card
Now to install CM7!!!!!!!!!! Drop by their page if you want and donate some beer money!!!!
Download these files!
http://mirror.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore&type=nightly (CM7 Encore ZIP - Get the latest one)
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps (google apps file!!!!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451] (Dalingrins!!!!! OVERCLOCK - even if you don't need this, you WANT THIS (my attempt at a jedi mind trick) just do it).
download the zip files and put them on that 1GB cwm bootable SD card you made!!, and copy the the zip files to the ROOT of the sd card i.e just drag and drop them into the sd card.
Now safely remove and plug the card in to the nook color
it will boot up into CWM - go to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11535969&postcount=151 and start at the installing section number 2!!! Thanks Faceman66 Only follow the install section and first boot section up until 2 if you have a DLINK router!!!! this is very important!!!! Once your done with the installation again, make sure to format the microSD card, do not use cyanogen it will mess everythin up, format it through your computer.
Dlink router connection issue!
The wifi in cyanogen just scans and disconnects constantly without connecting. Skip all of the first boot process like signing in to google, etc. Just get into the main screen of your new ROM. Connect it via USB to computer and "turn on USB storage" in the drop down notification bar.
Now preferably purchase the Root Explorer App on your phone or on your computer (you wont be able to access the nook color CM7 market yet. If you find it by other means I dont want to hear about it. if you download on your phone, download astro file manager as well, open astro file manager and click menu, tools, application backup. Find root explorer, back it up, pull it off your phone to the computer by searching the SD card for the "backups folder" and then drag and drop it onto your nook SD card. Use CM7 file explorer, find the APK and then install. Now using root explorer go to
/system/etc/wifi/ and find the tiwlan.ini file, at the top of the screen youll notice a button that says Mount R/W, click it. now press and hold on tiwlan.ini and open in text editor. go down about half way to find WifiAdhoc = 1 or something to that affect.
WiFiAdhoc is set to 1 on the cm7 builds but if you need change it to 0 for wpa/wpa2 will work.
Once that is set to 0, reboot, and connect to your internets.
WHAT IF I MESSED EVERYTHING UP AND MY NOOK COLOR IS BRICKED! IMPOSSIBLE! just follow these instructions!!!! Thanks to HittingSmoke over at addictive tips
This guide is broken and bricks the Nook. The problem is, it tells you to format /boot when you should NOT format boot.
If you have the black screen because of following this guide, here’s how to fix it:
Format your SD card and re burn that 1GB cwm image (It worked perfect for Me)
Next, download:
http://www.etoile-laconnex.com/nook-complete-restore-1.0.1.zip
and
http://www.multiupload.com/VEJFMO05BV
Copy them both to the SD card that you made with winImager.
Put in the SD card and hold the power button until it boots into recovery again.
Under Mounts and Storage, format /boot, /system, /data and /cache
Using the “Install zip from sdcard” option, flash “repartition-boot-with-stock.zip” THEN “nook-complete-restore-1.0.1.zip”
Take out the SD, reboot and you’ll be back to a working stock Nook.
After that, follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11535969&postcount=151
and/or go to the top to try again.
Note: Do NOT use your Nook to format the SD card after installing CM7. There’s a bug and it will format /boot instead, returning you to the black screen problem and you’ll have to repeat the process. This is TRUE WITH PHONES AND THE NOOK COLOR
Thanks again to everyone's contribution - I do not own the rights to any of this and am not the original finder/creator/designer of any of these tips and tricks.
Sorry you feel that way about Mac users. I will get the information from somewhere else.
Simply one of the best tutorials out there. So many of the custom roms overlook the documentation.
I am stuck on the boot logo ( the part where the android is being scribbled in directly after i plugged in the nook cable after first loading the sd card with winimage. It never goes past halfway on the scribble animation, and i am wondering if I may have done something wrong. Please reply.
You may need to go through the steps again to get it to work, it shouldnt hurt anything to do. Also try to write a different winimage and a different size download. If you have bigger than a 1gb card, i recommend getting the 1gb image file
first post on nook forum just order one after reading for 2 weeks about development cant wait to get it and use this guide to root it...
I'm guessing when you say format sd card your means fat 32 correct? Also once done with everything do you suggest to parition sd card to allow a2sd or data2ext? Our use titanium back up when updating rom...
I actually dont usually use titanium back up but if you want to partition and use titanium backup, cm 7 will defenitely support it. Format in fat 32 definitely. Luckily now CM7 has fixed the D-Link issue so you should be good on text editing and the whole process should be expedited alot with how hard Cyanogenmod team has worked to make a pretty flawless copy of CM7 for Encore (Nook Color). Im running CM7.02 and it is fast, sleek and sexy!

I tried this on my nook color and when it booted it showed the default nook icon with the adobe copyright warning, for a second, then it showed a cyanogen mod logo for a second then a screen that said install failed reboot to try again. I thing that some part of the nook android is still there and is messing up the CM install. Any ideas?

First, what version is your Nook Color? These are outdated steps and files. Second, this is rooting (gaining superuser access and installing apps) and not installing CM7 or a custom rom. Can you tell us what exactly you did so we can try and help out more?
It is the BNRV200. I believe it had the latest BN firmware because I got it about 2 weeks ago.

If you're installing CM7, go here and read about the new partition guide since you probably have the new partition on yours.

If you're rooting, go here. (You can also re-partition, go back to stock then root.)

Ok. My nootered 1.0.1 nook has ben acting weird lately. Battery dying completely after a couple days of VERY light use. Will leave it i hibernation one night at over 50% and it is dead the next morning.
Anyway. I would love to flash this thing to cm7 or a froyo build. I have CWM installed. S do i just install one of these rims just like i do with an android phone? I see a lot of talk about burning the. Zip images to the sd. Can i NOT just drop the. Zip on the sd and flash it?
And i wipe data and cache when doing switching rims on my DX, but saw something on here where a data wipe is not necessary....is this true?
And one last one... is it possible to backup the stock B&N launcher with titanium backup and restore and have the option to switch to it in froyo and gingerbread?
Thanks
If you have CWM installed to the actual device itself and you have the newest version installed then you can just drop the zip on the sd card. Make sure to clear the appropriate data.
Yes, CWM is runningon my NC witthout an sd right now so i know it is on internal storage.
When you say clear appropraite. Data...this means i have to clear data like usual when changing rims? Does titanium backup work cross platform (aka work with eclair,froyo,gb, and HC)?
Thanks for the quick reply
Sent from my rooted book color
There are usually instructions on the download page on what to clear.
When I first got my NC, I installed CM7 on an sd card.. quickly found out that it wasnt stable enough for me and I installed CM7 on emmc. I'm selling my nook to a friend and want to return it to stock with no CWM on it.
Before I installed CM7 on emmc I made a backup of my stock setup. Should I restore this backup or wipe everything and use the zip of 1.2 without CWM (this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720)?
I want to return the nook to how it was on the day I bought it when I first took it out of the box. Are there any other steps I have do to unregister it or anything? He wants to be able to purchase books through B&N with it and all that.
Thanks
The 1.2 .zip is probably simplest. It will definitely leave the NC de-registered without any extra steps.
So I guess I'll follow the guide for a clean 1.2 install. I will then be able to update to 1.3 correct?
Edit: Also, my nook is a blue dot, with the newer partitions. If that matters at all.
Hmm, I'm not sure how the 1.2 image will interact with the newer partitions--that thread you linked and the one with the 1.2 image are both pre-blue-dot, with no mention of how the new partitions interact with those methods. Your best bet may be to clear CWM off eMMC and do 8 failed boots, to be safe.
So instead of messing with the 1.2 zip, should I instead restore the clean stock backup that I made using CWM before I installed CM7 on emmc? If I read correctly, I can unregister the nook in the stock nook settings and then re-register it. I think. Basically I want to make take my personal information off of it and put his on.
I guess I don't HAVE to take off CWM, unless it will cause problems? The person I'm giving the nook to is not very computer literate and I don't want him to have any problems down the road.
My thinking is, if you restore from your back up image (presumably made via CWM on eMMC), it will not remove CWM. The 1.2 image from this thread might install just fine as long as your CWM is up to date (3.2.0.1), but I'm not 100% sure of it. Your safest bet may be to repartition first using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371
Unless, of course, someone can confirm that the 1.2 image works with blue-dot NCs. If your friend wants the 5GB /data instead of /media, there's another zip in the repartition thread you can use after you're back to stock.
ETA: the main problem CWM would cause is blocking future B&N updates.
ETA2: if you're a gambler, you could just try the 1.2 image (make sure you have CWM 3.2.0.1). If it won't boot, try 8 failed boots to restore. If it still won't boot, you'll need to make a CWM SD card and repartition anyway.
Just rebooted into recovery and my CWM version is 3.2.0.1. CWM has gotta go then, since I want him to be able to receive all future updates.
You could also just google around a little bit, there's a guide to repartition the NC back to pre-bluedot partitions.
It's pretty simple. I did it to mine prior to installing CM7.
Here's a guide: http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-blue-dot-nook-color/
Also, from my understanding the newer partitions shouldn't affect any roms being loaded... including the stock one. They're all made to fit on the original 1gb partition, so they'll fit fine on the 5gb one.
Here's a similar thread to this though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125675
Success.
Didn't mess with any partitioning. Put the 1.2 zip without CWM on an sd card, booted into recovery, wiped /system and /data, installed the zip, wiped /cache and dalvik cache. Rebooted into stock 1.3 with zero problems. Downloaded the 1.3 update with zero problems. Loving it.
Thanks all!
Are there any other steps I have do to unregister it or anything?

I have two NookHD+ but bought a HD for one of my sons. Got it yesterday and went about trying to figure out how to get CM 11 or 10.2 on it.
So took me forever to figure out it won't boot to SD without the power cable plugged in, even if battery is full. Whatever.
1. So created boot SD with NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img
2. Wiped and then installed cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip
3. Tried to install cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip but failed saying something like "System 7" (not sure about "System" but 7 I'm sure about.)
Gave up on CM11, decided to try 10.2
1. Did a restore, wiped, then installed cm-10.2-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip and gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
2. Now with SD card removed it boots to CWM. I thought it might be something to do with cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip so I tried cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip but it still boots to CWM with the card removed.
Previosuly I screwed the pooch with one of the HD+and I had a stock ROM, but can't seem to find one for the HD.
Anyway, I hope someone had the answer please, son was using it a little stock and it's just plain broken now, so I feel like a jerk. HELP!:crying:
If possible, try starting from the beginning. Installing CM11 for many users has been problematic; so I'd recommend CM10.x for now.
Insert your SD card into your computer's card reader, and format it using SDFormatter. Now using your preferred tool, burn the .img file to your SD card (NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img).
Once burned, download a stable version of CM10.2.1 (or 10.1.3 if you prefer) from: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hummingbird&type=stable and download gapps from: http://goo.im/gapps for the version of CM you download. Also download "CWM Recovery zip" (cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip) for Nook HD at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319000 (on the 5th paragraph). Once you have downloaded all three files, place them on your SD card.
Now eject your SD card from the computer. Turn your Nook off. Place the SD card in, and turn your Nook on (if your Nook does not boot from the SD card, do whatever method works for you to get it to boot). Once booted into CWM Recovery via SD card, install "cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip", now reboot your device. Make sure you're in this version of the recovery. Now clear your cache partition, and install both CM and Gapps.
After flashing/install, try rebooting. Hopefully you should be able to boot into CyanogenMod. If not, reply back please and I have another definite trick up my sleeve.
All the best.

The reason the CM11 did not install without an error message is it needs a newer version of CWM to flash it.
And you may need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and flash the plain stock zip from item 6. That aborted CM11 install probably messed up your internal memory. Then you can start clean with CM10.2.

Thank you, I'll try it now, Formatted with SDFormatter and Burning NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img now (takes a while for whatever reason, class 4 card)
I'll then install...
1. Install cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip - Reboot
2. Clear Cache, Wipe then
3. install cm-10.2-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip And gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip.
Thank you, stay tuned for results!

Thank you
Edit, found it! thank you, helped that you told me "Item 6"
Ok, got it working and I got it working with CW11.
HiddenG, I tried your steps as best I could and no love from the Nook. After getting NookHD-stock-2.1.1-rooted.zip and installing it from the CWM that was burned on to the SD, the unit appeared to be back to stock. So I'll document the rest for others trying to install CW11 on the NookHD.
1. Burned a SD card with NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img
2. Copied cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip, cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc and gapps-kk-20140105-signed to SD.
3. Booted from SD and cleared cache/wiped. Installed cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip. (Cleared cache/wiped again because I'm never sure on the order of such things)
4. Removed SD card and booted from the internal CWM (the one installed from cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5) by holding down nook sign and powering on.
5. Installed cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc and gapps-kk-20140105-signed. Cleared cache/wiped again because figured it was good to do ensure it was done.??
6. Remove SD card and Rebooted via the CWM menu.
7. Enjoying CW11
Thank you both for leapinlar & HiddenG for your help. You've saved the day and made my son a happy little guy again! :victory:
Haha, glad you got your son's Nook working again. Restoring to stock firmware/ROM was actually my last "definite trick up my sleeve." Anyhow, I'm happy for you!
Enjoy.
