I recently decided that I wanted to do a fresh install of CM7 using the latest nightly. I wiped everything, including boot (which I think is the problem). I made a bootable CWR SD card and installed the latest nightly and gapps. Everything booted up fine and ran great, until I tried to use ROM Manager. Every time I try to boot into recovery, the Nook hangs at the "ReadForever" screen. It was hanging at the new Cyanogen boot logo, but in an attempt to correct the issue, I flashed the stock 1.2 uboot. I have also noticed that several apps are now showing up at phone size when they were fine before running the same setup. I am running n87, 5/23/11 OC, and the stock 1.2 uboot. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
You can try to disable the "compatibility mode" in order to try and get the apps to use the full screen. Regarding the Clockwork recovery issue, I have no idea - sorry!

Ok, so I installed cyanogen and wanted to go back to cupcake (some problems with compatibility for some apps). Made backups but lost them from file corruption. Even recent backups come up with MD5 sums mismatch on ClockworkMod Recovery. Can get cyanogen running again, but can't get back to ORIGINAL state.
I've tried hard booting 8x, I've tried running the script to change the bootcount but this just gets me to clockworkmod. I try running the factory reset/data wipe option, but it clearly doesn't remove cyanogen. When I reboot after this, I get stuck on the word ANDROID in blue. I've also tried sideloading a 1.1 version zip, all to no avail. Any suggestions? Would uninstalling clockworkmod help? Thanks.
Did you flash the 1.1 stock nook image with win32? Remember that in the 1.1 restore you just install "update.zip" through CWM. Are you sure that your original version was 1.1 and not 1.0.1? If all else fails, try a different SD card. Sometimes the SD card itself is the source of problems like this.
Factory resets won't do anything once you have flashed a new rom. You will have to restore it to stock. Nooks are very difficult to hard brick, so something should work.
No, I didn't flash it, just installed the update. My original version was 1.0, but would that make a difference? I wanted to go to 1.1 anyway. Tried a diff sd card, same problem. Any other suggestions?
No matter what I try, it seems cyanogen simply WON'T wipe. Even after formatting via clockwork, and after clockwork tells me it's successfully formatted, it still boots up as normal. I believe it's interfering with restoring to stock.
Solved
MUST uninstall clockwork mod. Finally worked after this step http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960542&page=16 as per instructions here. Thanks everyone!
Hello, I guess I went in blind and screwed it up. Here's exactly what I did.
1. Created a bootable CWR SD card and used ManualRooter on my stock 1.2. Everything went perfectly. Checked Market and full app list etc.
2. Copied phiremod 6.2 to CWR card. Booted into Recovery. Wiped data/factory reset. Installed phiremod. No error so far. Wiped dalvik cache (not sure if I ran wipe cache partition). Then I turned it off, rebooted and the Nook is now stuck at the loading screen.
Of course, only then did I realize I got a nook with the new partitions (blue sticker). What should I do now? I was planning to try repartitioning but not sure if that would do more damage.
Any input? Thanks.
Fixed it Went ahead and installed the 2 repartition/reformat zips and installed phiremod on top. Everything is just peachy
hey itaintrite, i'm have a similar issue.
burned my working rom to sd so i could flash emmc to 1.2 manual nooter. prob now is when i boot from my sd it hangs at 'touch the future of reading.'
what's this 'repartition/reformat' zip you speak of?
raze
Similar problem....could use some help please!!
OK. Noob who is eternally grateful to all the awesome folks here. With your help I successfully rooted my EVO last summer. Now I have a problem with my new Nook Color. I successfully rooted (NC 1.2) it with ManualNooter, but now it won't accept any other ROMS. Runs MN fine, but I used ROM Manager to download and flash CM7.0.3, but it hangs at the "n COLOR" boot screen. Same exact result with Phirerom. I was able to restore to MN by somehow achieving the CM Recovery and restoring the Nand backup. Meanwhile, while I am unable to flash CM7, I AM able to boot into it from an SD card. Help, please.

The repartition/reformat are in the thread that helps you repartition your 1.2 refurb nook to the older partition format. You can't install any custom roms otherwise.
I am having a similar issue. I rooted my new Blue Dot NC, I made my microSD card image with CW 3.2.0.1-eyeballer and ManualRooter 4.6.16 followed all instructions, and everything came out fine. installed apps, copied over books etc. all running fine. The problem is when I reboot the NC it will start rebooting and then get stuck cycling in the NOOK COLOR animation. I have to reset it, and re-register it with B&N and install ManualRooter again.
Any ideas why this happens? Could it be an app causing this??
I am rooting again and testing the reset before I add any apps, then app by app and see if something comes up.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have 2 nook colors one for me and one for my girlfriend, I am/was running CM 7 on them. Its been awhile since ive updated them. Ive tried the newest nightly and the latest STABLE release. Both got hung up on the same spot. The green CM logo will say its loading then it will go into a black screen lit by the backlight and just hangs there. no boot animation, no boot loop. Just sits there. Or It will just reboot itself back into clockwork after saying it installed the rom. Ive used the CWM removal and that made it just hung on a nook bootup screen.
Ive let it sit for 15 minutes and nothing. Im not new as ive rooted my og droid, my dx and 2 nook colors. I havent really had this issue with the nooks. not really sure what to do. Ive wiped data/cache formatted the symsted, data and cache and nothing.
My steps are as follows.
1)Download either Phiremod test 7 or ANY CM nightly
2) plug my data sdcard into my computer and transfer
3)boot into clockwork
4)Wipe pretty much everything (I also tried installing on top of the stable releases)
5)Install.
I know to expect issues but there HAS to be something im doing wrong that lets one nook install flawlessly and another nook that wont install any nightly or test build. If it didnt boot up they wouldnt leak the nightly. Its something on my end. I gotta figure it out
I also just went back to stock and re-rooted and I have the same issue

You probably have the wrong bootloader and kernel...the newest cm7s are based on the 2.6.32, not the older 2.6.29 (or something), and the newest 1.2 bootloader..which you probably don't have if it's "been awhile"..lol...You have to upgrade your Cwm first, from 3.0.1.0 to 3.0.2.8, I think, then flash your Cwm to a nightly after 86??(Google to check), and it will change your boot partition to the correct one...If your nook still says "touch the future", you're on the wrong bootloader.....Also, quit using Phiremod.....it's a copy of Cm7 first of all, but by the time it's released, it's already outdated, it's not updated like it should be, and it's Douchey. Google the basics of what I described above if it sounds like that might be your problem and lmk how it works out for you....Btw....I used nightly 106 for this exact thing on another of my Nooks a few days ago and it worked flawlessly...There are newer nightlies out, but that one for sure worked.....

I might be confused; Is one of your Nooks OK or are they both refusing to boot anything based on the .32 Linux kernel?
As I read it you aren't having trouble loading either with 7.0.3 stable. Correct?
The only thing I could suggest is loading the stable version, downloading the latest nightly CM (skip Phiredrop's theme for now) DIRECTLY to the SD card (skip the computer step), and do a factory reset and format boot, system, data, and cache (all four).
Load just the nightly and gapps (save the OC kernel for later), and then see if THAT boots all the way up.
Of course make sure you have a full backup of the stable OS install before you start.
If none of that works, then prepare the SD card as an install card and try that. Do you have just the one card?
Thanks for the replies....I thought 3.2.0.1 was the newest clockwork? I guess I need to pay more attention to the nook. lmao Mazook I think you are on the right track. Also to the phiremod is that the og droid equivalent to UD? hahahaha I actually liked the look of phiremod but i digress...
On that note I installed the uboot 1.2 and flashed it and it still boots into clockwork but that maybe because I may be on an outdated cwm im the one i stated above

If I remember correctly, you can't just jump from 3.0.0.6 or 3.0.1.0 to newest...there's one in between that transitions the upgrade in bootloaders...I'm pretty sure I went 3.0.1.0 to 3.0.2.8 to flashing Cm7 nightly 106...then to upgrade to Cwm 3.2.0.1 while in Rom manager, while using Cm7....leSigh....Clockworkmod is the only thing I can't stand about using my Nook....(though I rarely need it any more) AmonRa is such a better (and fully functional) recovery build...One thing I wish we had gotten.....

While in Rom Manager, go to "flash older clockworckmod recoveries ".....then choose 3.0.2.8 (Make a nandroid first) and have all the stuff you want to flash ready to go on the SD...then go into recovery from Rom Manager, which will put you in 3.0.2.8......if that doesn't do it, try the same thing again, but go to 3.0.1.0 first....then, once you get into a working cm7 with 3.0.1.0, try it all again.(upgrade to 3.0.2.8 by" try it all again" , but this time from 3.0.1.0)...you're basically trying to reinstall your boot partition, but in a different location than where it is now...its a hassle, but you can do it through just rom manager.....it's just a hassle...

Well Id love to try that but.....My nook wont turn on. It was fully charged today. Im either gonna make a bootable cwm or go back to stock and root again. I dont know if that will work though because its not even powering up.
Ok....i think im making progess....The newest nightly just goes into a bootloop. better than a clockwork bootloop i guess..... any advice on how to get it to install properly? i feel like im making progress. normal bootloops are better than what i was getting
Bueller............Bueller lmao.
Seriously though.....if anybody can figure this out it would make my year
Try this, install stock 1.2....
boot it up, go through the annoying setup, log into google apps, then power down.
Boot into CWR SD, this should have the os that you want already on it, and the google apps file.
THen click install from zip, choose zip, install the OS, after complete install google apps, then restart without sd
Do not format anything, it should do the trick.
My NC is about six months old (long before the "blue dot"). I've rooted it and wiped it and installed at least three versions of CM7, two of Phiremod's (one CM7 based and one MIUI) and two versions of MIUI. Never had a problem. Now I do. For some reason, and I can't even figure out what I did, my Nook will not boot. It hangs at the Cyanogen logo screen (not the blue circled Android, just a simple green logo). I used CWM (newest version) to boot into recovery and wiped everything, then reinstalled CM7. Hangs at the same place. I used CWM to boot into recovery, went to mounts and reformatted everything, then manually rebooted, then reinstalled CM7. Hangs at the same place. I reformatted everything and tried installing MIUI 1.85. Hangs at the same place. I reformatted everything, rebooted, wiped everything, then installed nook-complete-restore-1.0.1.zip to try to get it back to stock. Boots to the "N" and then HANGS! WTF?? I must be missing something but I can't figure out what. Help!
Maybe try a different version of cwr? create a bootable sdcard with cm7 and then run ROM manager, there is an option to install older versions of cwr

What version might that be? The latest is 3.2.0.1.......
Try a different SD card or writing a different image to the card. I had the same problems you are describing. I used eyeballers image (sorry I don't have the link) and I finally got things to.work

Back in May I got a nook HD+ and installed the latest nightly build very easily to SD card. Lately its been kinda slow and wanted to install 10.1.3-RC2. First, I took out the working card and used a new one (backup purposes). First I downloaded cm-10.1.30RC2-ovation.zip with the nook to the downloads folder. With the new card I used win32diskimager to image sdcard-only sdcard-cwm-ovation-sdv1.img.zip. I installed it like I did back in May and Im not sure what happened but I did something wrong and if I leave the card in to boot, it goes to CWM v6.0.3.2. If I take the card out it just hangs at the cyanogen circle just keeps going around forever. I can't get back to the stock nook os at all (although I dont ever want to use the stock nook os anyways).
I re-imaged two cards with a fresh download of the files and still having problems. I tried wiping the data/factory reset and wite cache partition then reinstall cyanogen for something to try, but same results. I also tried the a hybrid install using sdcard-cwm-ovation-hybridv3.zip but same results.
Good thing is that the original card I made back in May still works same as always (however when I use it after re-trying to install 10.1.3 a screen comes up "android is updating optimizing app XXX of 227)-only for the first time after trying a reinstall.
Im not sure what I did. Any ideas for something to try?
The problem is that rc2 is for installing on internal memory and you are trying to install it to SD. So instead of installing to SD, it installed it to internal memory and messed up stock.
To fix it, first download one of my plain stock ROM zips from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. See item 6. Then burn a new image for emmc CWM (get it at that same thread) to one of your new SDs and boot to that. It will say the CWM is for stock in the title. Flash that plain stock ROM, followed by a factory reset. Then you should be ok.
If you want to update your SD install, you must pick a ROM zip from the SD thread.

Thank you. I got it working.
