I've done a search and haven't found anything helpful. I'm using stock 1.2 and rooted with manualnooter. I used rom manager to flash clockwork. I boot into recovery and install phiremod from an sd card. It says it's successful, but after I reboot it boots back into recovery (I removed the sd card). I reboot AGAIN and then it gets stuck on the manualnooter loading screen. Am I missing something?

Is there a way to get rid of the clockwork mod boot on the nook color
As per onstuctions on this site, I got a 1.1 pre roote version and installed it
from the sd card with the clockwork menu which informed me that the
"NookColor" install complete.
when I reboot, it starts with the welcome message,but then only reboots into the same recovery menu.
At this point I would just like to go back to a stock rom, but cannot boot anything but the recovery.
By the way, I can boot froyo from the sd card
Please help me
I've moved your thread to the correct forum.
So you dont have the CWR sdcard in? Because if you did, you would need to remove that first. Sorry if this dumb, but thats all I can think of right now. Maybe reflash the 1.1 pre rooted rom? Or follow the instructions in Samuelhalff's "Easily restore to stock" thread located here in the Nook forums.
The "Easily restore to stock" saved the day. I am now up and running.
Thanks
How did you do that? I have CWR on mine and I went to buy a book from the shop on the Nook and it downloaded and installed 1.1... Now when I try to go back and restore from backup CWR doesn't respond... All it does is sit there and if I select something from the menu it goes to the background image (the circle with the top hat) and sits there. I would like to remove this so I can reroot my Nook...
Thanks for any help.

See the other thread or sticky that's labeled "How to Restore to Stock easiliy." I believe you can also use the power down and on 8 times trick to restore to stock as well.
Same thing happened to me. I used Clockwork to flash the CWR-removal.zip on the restore thread mentioned above and it fixed my boot, everything else was OK.

Ditto that. I reinstalled CW and everything seems to be working fine. Has anyone else had issues with using Rom Manager on the NC? I've had to go back to stock twice whenever I've used it.
I had a problem when trying to roll my 1.1 rooted NC back to stock because I futzed it up that I ended up in a CWR loop. 8 resets didn't get me a reflash, it got a recovery. Took me finally getting the NC flashed and rerooted at 1.1 a second time when I reinstalled ROM Manager and ended up with the problem again. Took me this wasted effort to realize that CWR runs in lieu of the reflash if CWR is installed and that's an obvious problem when I wanted a reflash and not restore a different backup.
There is a thread with a zip that CWR can run that blasts CWR off and reflashs stock and getting that done put me back both times I messed up above.
Seems to me that perhaps the whole "can never brick" response when people ask for help needs to have an addendum about how CWR gets in the way of an 8 reboot reflash and provide guidance on how to get that update file and use it instead to get back to square one. (Plus some advice on when to clear caches and data partitions to avoid weirdness later).
Now rerooted on 1.1 with no ROM Manager running but I'm missing the nandroid bacjup capability, so maybe I reinstall but stay away from the recovery option until I need it?
I reinstalled CW after I rerooted 1.1 and have had no problems with it so far, but I also haven't tried to backup or anything since the first time (which initially got me into this mess).
I do think you're right about having some sort of addendum thrown in. I was running circles around the XDA forums for a few hours trying to find some sort of fix the first time my Nook started acting weird. The 8-reboot trick just wouldn't work, and my battery was more or less drained because CW was interfering. Maybe this is just understood by most, but it certainly would have saved me some time (and some gray hairs) if someone had mentioned it earlier.
So what is the conclusion of this thread? I have a new NC, updated to 1.1 and installed AutoNooker 3.0, immediately installed Clockwork and did a NAND backup... bad thing is that it won't boot off the eMMC anymore, only CW.
I can boot roms off of the SD card (ie Honeycomb) but this isn't want I want. I've downloaded and flashed several roms but its looped at CW. So the rom isn't the problem.
If we can't install Clockwork Recovery, then how can we flash new roms to the eMMC?
[UPDATE]
Found a flashable file which removes Clockwork Recovery.
http://www.etoile-laconnex.com/CWR-removal-rootsafe.zip
After I flashed that I am now booting off the eMMC froyo rom. Nice! Saved me from Restoring it, updating it, and reRooting it.
[UPDATE 2]
Well while it worked initially, it loaded the homescreen and reset. Now it is stuck at the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen with no Recovery... which worse off. Now I have to make a CWM bootable SD, flash the restore, and start over. Nice.
[UPDATE 3]
Finally got it back to stock after hours. I found a "MonsterPack" here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870
Even this was more complicated then it needed. I had to download the 128mb RootPack image, and get it going so I can grab the needed root files. Then download the right size Clockwork image for my memory card and get it going. The end result ended in a Clockwork SD card. Then I made a "sdcard" folder from where I added the rootpack files and the stock image 1.0.1 flashable zip file.
Format the system and boot partitions, then flash the stock zip.
I just upgraded stock to 1.1, then will proceed to boot off the microsd and root, install GAPPS, etc.
I wish I knew of a great custom rom to flash. I flashed Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 and it powers down immediately (several complaints about this). Maybe CM7?
Ditto
I'm having this problem as well, but I can't seem to do anything to fix it. I was running 1.1, and auto-nootered using v3.0. Everything was hunky dory until I installed CWR. I flashed, shutdown, restarted, then chose to perform a backup which brought me down into CWR and I was never able to get out. I used the Monster pack zip to remove CWR, and now I boot to the "n" screen and sit forever. I tried the 8 hard resets and it said it installed on two different occasions, but still I sit on the "n" screen during boot. I tried the 1.0.1 restore zip as well, but to no avail. What do I need to do to get back up and running?
CW Recovery only
So I flashed my NC with both the pre-dualboot and the dual-honeycomb rom, but every time I reboot with the SD card inserted, it only boots to CW recovery. When I take it out..it boots to NC stock OS.
Am I suppose to remove clockwork recovery with the CW-removal zip? I tried that.. once it rebooted it went right back to CW. Should I be using two different SD cards? One for CW recovery and one to load the eMMc?
So confused...
What I need to know is what should be on the SD card after everything is flashed.
Mw : you could use a bootable cwr sdcard and flash 'emmc recovery repair', then format data and restore your backup.
Ehamonn: you have to remove cwr from the sdcard. Format should do the trick. But you'll loose the data on it..

Do I need to keep a boot image on the card after I format?
Well, if you only want to boot from internal memory, no.
Not sure how to get out of it. Any ideas? When i reboot with the power button, it gets to the N then jumps to Clockwork.

Could you actually reboot into clockwork with the power and n button, then reboot the device from there? It may or may not yield the same result. Was this your first backup? Is clockwork on an sd card?
I'm already in Clockwork and can move around its just that if i choose reboot it goes back into recovery. If i reboot with the power button, it goes back into recovery. All i did was backup the ROM from ROM manager. I'm on 1.1.0 rooted with Autonooter 3.0

Hmmm. Not sure what may have gone wrong. It is pretty straight forward. You may restore your backup and see what happens.
It was posted by k4str0:
There is about 10 threads in the general forum to resolve this. Just FYI. The fix is to use Monster CWR bootable SD card to flash CW-removal.zip and remove CWR off the internal memory. Stick to using the bootable CWR instead.
This worked for me, also you will not loose anything, only need to install later CW back.

That's where you can d/l the ZIP file. I had to use that too after flashing an o/c'ed kernel. It works like a charm.
Thanks. It worked. I used the zip file that removes Clockwork and keeps root. I'm wondering if Clockwork has problems with stock 1.1.0 ? I didn't have any problems until i upgraded.
I have never been able to make a nandroid backup. If I boot from a recovery sd card, it fails and when I try to reboot to recovery from froyo, that doesn't work either.
I rooted my NC, installed newest rom manager, flashed latest cwm and rebooted. But my nook kept booting into recovery, so i formated data and system and flashed cm7. It is still only booting into recovery. what can i do to fix this???
Did you take out the micro SD card?
cwm isnt on the sd card, i flashed it using rom manager, so dont think the sd has anything to do with it... does it?
One way to find out... pop out the SD card, reboot, see if you get into your OS/
This happened to me too, you have to remove cwm, there s a file for it somewhere on here. Basically you have to boot with a cwm bootable sd card, then run the remove clockwork zip. After its removed, you can reflash it again via rom manger. The important thing is to reboot the device after flashing it, if you dont - that's what causes it to boot loop into recovery.
Edit: here's the CWM Removal zip, put this on your CWM bootable sd card and run it. That should get you out of the boot loop.
Remember when you flash cwm again, REBOOT before trying to go into recovery. I rebooted a couple times just to be safe.

Same thing happened to me and I followed the same path to boot to CM7 again except that after flashing CWR-removal.zip from my bootable CWR recovery SD I had to flash CM7 on top of it to be able to boot normally again.
thanks, i did that but now i f***ed it up another way... i'll let you guys know if i need any help.
I installed the AWESOME Cyanogen v7 ROM, which makes the Nook an even nicer experience than the stock rooted ROM. I got into a bit of trouble though and had to do a restore and reinstall. I went into ROM Manager, and choose "Reboot into recovery" which brought me into Clockwork Recovery. I could not get out! Every time I rebooted, I ended up back in and could not for the life of me figure out how to boot back into normal Cyanogen. Is this a bug, or did I miss something?
Thanks
Nick
Run the file I attached from a CWR bootable Sd card.
(It might work just from the normal cwr, but im not sure)
It will remove your CWR install.
Then it should boot back into cm7.
AFAIK, people are having this issue when they dont reboot after flashing cwm, then trying to go into recovery immediately after flashing.
No idea why it does this, but try rebooting the nook before trying to go into recovery once you flash it again in Rom Manager.
I have a NC running rooted stock internally and Nookie Froyo from the SDcard.
I am trying to get GAPPS running in Froyo but I'm having problems. I flashed the newest CWM Recovery in ROM manager, and then downloaded the universal GAPPS package from the list of available ROMs. I am then prompted to boot into ClockWork Recovery.
When I try and boot into CWR with the SDcard in the NC, it just reboots into Froyo. If I take the SDcard out, the NC boots into CWR just fine. I need CWR to boot with the SDcard in the NC to be able to flash the GAPPS that are saved on the SDcard.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thx to the developers for all of their hardwork.
