I tried to flash back my nook color using theses instructions.
http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
But i have installed clockworkmod recovery in the past and instead of the nook reflashing itself, clockworkmod loads up. Is there way that clockworkmod would do the re-flashing.
Is there a set of different instructions that i could follow. Thanks in advance
I doing this to update to 1.2, where after I would reroot my nook
I'd use bretzke's link, that's the one I was looking for and couldn't find it. Used it myself just a short while ago. Really wish Firefox had a better history search...
Follow the instructions found here instead:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
Two options...either 1) remove CWR and then follow the original instructions you have linked, or 2) wipe data & system using CWR and then flash back to 1.01 as outlined here. Then you will be at stock without CWR, can upgrade to 1.2, then
ManualNooter 4.5.6.
Good luck.
All done, thanks

Ok, let me start off by saying my phone is currently not bricked. I can get into recovery(H+P) or fastboot(C+P) just fine. My problem lies with the last step of rooting when I flash the new ROM. I am currently trying to flash v4.2.15.1 which is apparently the latest Cyanogen Mod.
Now I've tried two different methods and both won't boot after the ROM is flashed.
The first method is "method B" seen over at the AndroidAndMe website. This method works fine and I can get back into the phone all the way to the point of flashing the SPL and then the ROM. It installs fine, but after reboot it gets stuck on the G1 startup screen.
The second method is the wiki guide for updating from original OS to Cyanogen. This one is a bit different using the Android 1.6 base image. The installation on this method goes smooth up untill the last reboot after flashing the ROM just as the other method. The difference here is instead of it hanging at the G1 startup screen, it get's just past that to a blank backlit screen. No images, no android logo, no sound, no nothing.
Like I said before, I can still access recovery and fastboot which seams to be my only way out. I have repeated this process multiple times on both methods with the exact same results. Fastboot keeps bringing me back to the Android 1.0 firmware(RC29) which is atleast giving me access to a phone while I try to figure this out.
Suggestions? Ideas? I really need to get this phone working again.
I am always on AIM "DeathstarsOG" if that is more convienient for those offering up some help.
What steps did you take to flash the rom?
Did you read the steps outlined in his wiki? The most important step is to flash DRC83_base_defanged.zip first, then his rom over the top.
dbl post sorry.

I followed the steps on both writeups exactly how they were written. As far as the wiki one, I already had a few of the files needed from trying the Androidandme method. Also, my phone is basically already downgraded to the RC29 so thats another step i can skip. All needed files are already on my SD card and were installed in the following fashion:
DREAIMG.nbh
cm-recover-1.4.img
DRC83_base_defanged.zip
update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.zip
ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip
My SD card is already formatted to FAT32
I set up the telnet to get access to recovery mode, wipe phone, then install DRC83, then the cm-4.2.15.1 and lastly the radio. I do a Home+Back reset after installing the radio and it goes past the G1 Startup screen, to a black lit screen of nothingness.
If you're looking at the wiki guide named: "Full Update Guide - G1/Dream Firmware to CyanogenMod" you'll see I basically am supposed to be seeing a update screen that loos like a open box with an arrow pointed down toward a phone after I do this reboot. Well, that doesn't happen. It just goes to that black screen.
Now I'm not a whiz when it comes to stuff like this however I can figure things out fairly sufficiently for the most part. But this has got me stumped. It sounds like I may have a corrupted version of Cyanogen as everything else I have been able to install and actually run on the phone(besides the DRC83). Or maybe I need to flash the radio before the DRC83? I haven't even gotten to the SPL, and after all this I may not want to.
I've done this process over and over atleast 8 times and I feel like I basically know every step by heart, but I still don't want to just guess at what it could be and risk a brick. So that's why I'm here. What do you guys think could be the issue?
Do not wipe the phone after istalling RC29. nbh file rewrites everything, and I mean it... everything.
Here's your order:
DREAIMG.nbh
Boot, sign-in, obtain root (telnet, connect to local host, you know the shpill).
Flash recovery (use ra 1.6.2, it's more updated then cm 1.4)
Wipe
Flash DRC83 defanged.zip
Flash ota radio, follow directions on the screen, you will need to reboot at least once
Flash 1.6 rom (cyan's is a good one to start at least)
Fix permissions.
Wipe
Reboot
Do not set-up linux swap or apps2sd at this time, it will complicate the process more then needs to at this point, you can do it all later.
Good luck.

You my friend are a genius!
Maybe the write-ups for rooting should be re-written to follow this as it worked flawlessly.
I started all the way back from step one at the default G1 1.6 Firmware.
Downgraded to the RC29.
DL'd telnet from the market.
Installed the new RA-recovery
Wiped.
Flashed DRC83.
Flashed Radio.(promted me to reboot)
Flashed the ROM.
Fixed Permissions.
Wiped again.
Then reboot.
Process went flawless, no hicups or anything. Thank you very much sir!
So, I set up ClockwordMod via http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...m-manager-nandroid-backup-custom-kernels.html
I followed all of the instructions & booted into the recovery menu. I selected backup & it finished. I selected "reboot system now" & the Nook Color just rebooted right back into the ClockwordMod Recovery menu. I'm not sure what went wrong. I followed every step of the instructions perfectly. I've used ClockworkMod Recovery on my Droid 2 (via Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap) without issue before.
FYI: I'm using the stock 1.1.0 Nook Color system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah there is a known Issue with Installing CWR to your Nook via Rom Manager while on Rom 1.1..
Which Versions of CWR and Rom Manager are you using? I thought that they fixed this problem in the newest Versions....
From my experiance with this issue you will have to uninstall CWR from the Boot Partition, and possibly completely wipe and restore the Boot, and inturn the whole system will need to be restored.

Thanks for replying I'm using CWR 3.0.0.5 & whatever the latest version of the Rom Manager is (can't remember off the top of my head). Would I uninstall CWR with adb? Would I then need to restore my Nook Color to the default system? Might you have instructions on how to uninstall CWR?

3.0.0.5 is the old one, 3.0.0.6 is the newest CWR, I think they fixed this issue, but Im not sure, I would check around before you install CWR to your boot partition again on your 1.1
Sorry I though that link I gave had that Zip and Instructions on it, but it just had the Link the Thread that has it on there... >_<
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
This link has a Flashable Zip that will restore boot, You will need to burn a CWR SD card and run from there.
if you have further trouble after that you will need to fully restore everything.

Hi all,
I have run into one issue on my nook. I have had it for a while and followed all the directions for root and it was running perfect. One day it rebooted and would nver start back up. It gets stuck in the Nook Color Devs Boot Loop where it says Nook, then color in a rainbow scheme. I attempted to reload the factory image, ran the first manual nooter and logged into gmail, etc. Then I ran the second nooter and now I am stuck in a boot loop again. Is there anyway to solve this?
A factory reset appears to help but as soon as I root, the same thing happens. I have attempted to search but couldn't find anything else.
I also found out that if I clear dalvik and cache then it won't go immediately to the boot loop. It attempts to load but i am not sure what to do.
Thanks all.
You may want to specify which version of Stock you're reloading. I don't know for sure, but there may be some different procedures if you're on 1.3... But I don't know, just a tip for people to give you more specific help.
Thank you. This has happened to me on both the1.2 and 1.3 stock rom. It actually just shut off one day and then started doing this.
I'm not very familiar with the stock rom. I got rid of it within like 10 minutes of getting my nook, turning it into a tablet was my whole reason for buying one.
I didn't think there was more than one root script that you had to run though. At least not for 1.2, I dunno about 1.3 though.
Perhaps something there's messing it up?
Personally, I would suggest following one of the threads about restoring to stock... step by step and see if that helps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13198961#post13198961
Basically... just make a bootable cwm card. Make a backup of what you have atm. Copy the zip you download from that thread to your card. Boot your cwm card and goto mounts and storage, and format: /system, /data, /cache, and I would do /boot just in case. Normally, you shouldn't format boot... but just in case something there is causing you a problem it might be best. I know the stock rom restores the boot files anyway. Then just go to (sorry if the wording here isn't right, I don't have my nook in front of me) install zip from card, then select zip, and choose the 1.2 zip you put on the card. It should take like 5-10 mins to flash... remove the bootable sdcard, and choose reboot now. This should get you back to 100% stock 1.2, then you can retry rooting it... I think 1.2 needs the manual nooter script. You shouldn't have to run anything more than once to root it though, unless you upgrade after that to 1.3.
I had the same problem after getting the 1.3 update and re-rooting. The problem was adobe flash 10.3. I ran flashplayer_fix.zip from GMPOWER's post on this page (sorry don't know how to link the post) and it fixed the problem.

I picked up a nice used Samsung Galaxy Tab with no sim card for my wife. The boot screen says it's for AT&T but she just uses it on Wifi and no intention of using it on 3G.
I figured I would upgrade it to ICS, and I thought I was on the right track until I tried to flash CWM 6 from the following Wiki link. Now it's in a loop and says "Connected by AT&T", shows a thin line across the screen, and then reboots.
I used this page for what I did:
Wiki: Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_(GSM):_Full_Update_Guide
Can someone help me out so my wife doesn't kill me?
Before I attempted rooting, I attempted to upgrade with Kies but it told me the device was not compatible. It has Froyo 2.2 installed.
Try to restock using overcome method.

What did you install after the (kernel with) recovery? The wiki says the following:
After the kernel is installed, the Samsung stock 2.3 ROM will not boot anymore.
This goes for 2.2 too.
Boot into recovery, and install the zip of the ROM that was copied to memory. That ought to work. If not, like priyana said, restock to Overcome, and try the wiki instructions again.
If you're restocking with the Overcome files, you could just stop after the first part, and install only the stock ROM (JQ1 Gingerbread). Or continue after that and install Overcome, that's a good modified Gingerbread.
I have tried getting into recovery mode, but it just continues looping and rebooting.
What are the correct steps to get into recovery mode?
I have tried Power, Volume Up, Home but nothing works.
Basically, when I power it on, it just loops and I can't get to a point to even start the Overcome or see recovery mode in order to copy anything.

I was unable to install anything else after the CWM6 flash. That's when it started looping.
Thanks!
You guys saved the day. That "Overcome Experience" pdf was nicely done. It took me a little while to get my bearings in it, but I finally found the section about re-stocking to Gingerbread.
I was able to successfully install the GB version and then I installed the CM9 on the Wiki page I mentioned earlier.
I really appreciate the help and direction you provided. My wife will be happy and I can live another day.
I have flashed android ROMs successfully about a dozen times, but always get myself in trouble in the process. It never goes smoothly for me. I am pretty much a noob.
I was following steps outlined here, but when flashing internal recovery, I got an error message stating that it was corrupted and I had to reboot. After reboot, I cannot boot into Nook - it loops continuously and finally boots into CWM 6.0.4.6
At this point, I would be happy to install Kit-Kat 4.4 from SD, but ideally I would like it to be on EMMC
please, help me get this working! Thank you in advance.
You need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a. Then use that CWM to flash the plain stock zip from item 6. Follow that with a factory reset with CWM and when you boot without the SD inserted you will be back to plain stock so you can start over. If you want to try installing CM11 again follow the dummies guide also linked in my signature.
