I got the NC from overstock for a good deal. I am pretty savvy technically and have rooted phones, returned to stock from a bricked android phone, etc.
So I got a blue dot 1.2 NC. I was initially planning to do a repartition and then install CM7. Thats how I started. I created a bootable CWM 3.08 uSD card. Ran the repartitioning script (from here). That went well.
Then I was reading about rooting and saw the Manual Nooter thread: this one
On a whim I ran the manual Nooter install, which ran well too ( I later realised that this was for STOCK 1.2 )
Then I installed CM7, gapps and OC kernel in that order which completed successfully too.
Now, when I start the NC, I am stuck at the n COLOR animation. Tried clearing data, cache, etc but nothing works.
How do I get out of this pickle? I am itching to use my first android tablet! Thanks for your help..

Since you are working with the blue dot, you need to upgrade your bootable CWM to version 3.2.0.1. That versions is designed with support for the blue bot. I would then rerun the repartitioning, since most likely it did not work right with the old CWM. At that point you should be able to wipe the system and install CM7, gapps, and OC.

Newby Thoughts
What's a blue dot?
I'm a newby at this but why not start with a factory reset then build up to what you want. Sounds from your posts that you've just been throwing different things at it and somehow expecting things to work. Like I say, newby thoughts but the factory reset and step by step has worked for me--and apparently many others. Let us know if you try and how it works.

Thanks gmpower. That seemed to do the trick. I used CWM 321 and also made sure I did a data system and cache format before I installed CM7. The NC booted into CM7 and everything looks great now
Appreciate your help!
The blue dot is a sign on a box that the new nook is with a new partition setup , rather than what was originally provided with the nook.

quick question, didn't the nook from overstock come with 1.2 stock?
i rooted my overstock blue dot one and am having weird power issues, so i was curious if it was a hardware failure or something with manual nooter?
thanks!

does anyone know when these models became pervasive on the market? I have a friend who got a nook after me (mine was March, his in April I guess) and we had trouble following the process with his (which worked great for mine) and I'm just now realizing he may have the new one...

Yes I think my nook from OS came with 1.2 stock. It had the blue dot on the box. I initially turned it on and registered the device on the BN network. Following which I tried the whole rooting and custom ROM thing.
In my case I think using CWM 3.0.8 caused the issues I was having. Switching to 3.2.1 I was good to go.

So I'm picking up a Nook tomorrow and have been doing some research on the available hacks. It seems like for me, for the time being, a rooted 1.1 is going to work best. Once honeycomb (or cm7) are stable daily drivers, I'll be switching to one of them.
Anyway, I wanted to run my upgrade plan by everyone to make sure it sounds okay. I'm not new to android hacking (have a DInc and a DX) but this will be my first nook. Here's what I'm thinking:
1) Fire up and run through OOBE - Register device with BN
2) Once the OOBE finishes, immediately turn off wireless.
3) If not already on 1.0.1, download updates and install.
4) Apply audonooter 2.12.25
6) Install ROM Manager and Clockwork Recovery
5) Apply Decad3nce's V1.1.0_r2 ROM
Does that sound right? Am I missing anything?
After everything I've read, what you got seems to be the most reliable method. Except your number order is a little out of whack. Steps 1-4 are best done following http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting.
In fact, I'm going through this exact method to do a fresh install on my NC to try to eliminate quirks I have with wireless and the Gmail app on my current 1.1 install. But if this fresh install still has the quirks, I'm going back to 1.0.1 and the block patch found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870&highlight=cwm to prevent 1.1 being pushed automatically to my NC.
Why not just get updated to 1.1.0 and use Autonooter 3.0?
thanks fug!!!
how about OC'ing. after all said and one... i was thinking of then applying dalingrin's 950 OC. safe to do when not on froyo?

No problem!
Honestly, I think there is no reason not to just go for the 1.1 GHz OC (the kernel-1100mhz-omap3630.zip file). I was running 1.1 GHz before my fresh install (which I've already finished) and I'll soon be running at that speed again. I guess if you want to go to 950 MHz and "break in" your new NC, then by all means. But at the time before I OC'd, I felt there was enough people that were able to go to 1.1 GHz without issues. Then again, I had my NC for 2 weeks before I tried OC'ing.
Also, a few friendly tips. Open up and power up your NC in the store and make sure there aren't any issues with your unit. Also, bring a pair of headphones with you to the store. Around the time I bought mine (just after Xmas), I read posts about headphone jack issues, dead pixels and other weirdness out of the box. I don't know if those quality issues are still out there but you never know.

byproxy is right about the feedback that Autonooter 3.0 is not compatible with CWR. There are enough posts confirming that. It's not worth the trouble. The method laid in the OP is the best way to maximize the NC, in my opinion.
I just Updated to 1.1 via B&N normal update path, used Autonooter 3.0 and then Used a CWR SD Card to flash the 1.1ghz Kernel . Easy as Pie.
I'm currently using 2 NC's. I've messed around with some of the different options out there. This week I tried hard to make Nookie Froyo 0.6.7 my preferred hack for day-to-day use but there are too many things I can't get working right. Anyway, I'm going back to the combination of Auto-Nooter 2.12.25 and Decad3nce's V1.1.0_r2 ROM for the time being.
Thanks again! Maybe I will go right to 1.1. Honestly my concern wasn't stability. It sounds like for someone who's experience and comfortable hacking an android device like this - they're pretty unbrickable.
My concern actually was the potential to fry the CPU. Has anyone run temp readings across different OC's levels to see how much hotter the CPU is getting at the higher speeds?
A crash is no problem... easy to fix. A cooked processor is $250 down the toilet!! LOL

1. Buy your nook color
2. Turn it on, and register the device
3. Update to 1.1 using Sideload or wait for your device to update itself
4. Use AutoNooter 3.0 to root it
5. Enjoy yourself until CM7 comes out

However, can you backup your NC with that bootable CWR? If you used one of the images from Monster RootPack 0.5, backup is not working yet.
Still, I rather have CWR right on the NC instead of having to keep a separate bootable CWR handy.

No worries.
CWR is short for ClockworkMod Recovery. It's basically a recovery platform for many, such as the NOOKcolor, but not all Android devices. A very watered down analogy is CWR is like using a Windows Repair CD (or better yet Hiren's Boot CD, if you're familiar with that) for Android devices.
A lot of the modifications (such as dalingrin's overclocking kernels) and development ROMs (such as cicada's Nookie Froyo) use CWR to make mod'ing much easier.
CWR is a must have tool for those who root and flash frequently. It will get you out of a lot of jams.
oh okay, so since I only really plan to root once and more or less leave it at that it shouldn't be that important for me then.

i'd still do it. something may get screwed up and it would be nice to have a nandroid available to restore.

Yeah its not Autonooter 3 its the 1.1 update, if you flash CWR to your device instead of using a stand alone card, you will get stuck in the CWR next time you boot and you will have to re-flash your boot partition before you can boot normally again.
You can still use the Stand alone CWR SD card to use the tool.
So, picked up the ol Nook this evening and proceeded with a very slightly modified version of my afore mentioned steps (thanks to fug for the input!). Here's what I did exactly:
1) Fired up and ran through OOBE - Registered device with BN
2) Once the OOBE finishes, immediately turned off wireless.
3) If not already on 1.0.1, download updates and install (I was already on 1.0.1 so was able to skip this step).
4) Root using audonooter 2.12.25
6) Fired up wireless again and installed ROM Manager and Clockwork Recovery via market.
5) Flashed Decad3nce's V1.1.0_r2 ROM
7) Created nandroid (CWR backup)
6) Flashed 1.1ghz OC Kernel
So far so good! Will report any problems if if/as I encounter them!!
I'm new to Android and tablets and have never had a smart phone. However, I am in the computer field and am relatively technical. At the very least, I'm intelligent and can follow clear directions.
Where I'm running into trouble is that, because this is all so new to me, I'm lost when reading a lot of these forums, because I have no idea what all these terms mean or what things are.
Here's where I'm at with my Nook Color. Got it a week ago, rooted it with AutoNooter 3.0, got ADB working (finally) over USB. YouTube works. Can get my email. Using Launcher Pro and Dolphin HD. That's about it.
I'm unclear about a few things, and I realize they're pretty basic. But I've searched and searched and can't find clear answers. Hopefully, someone here can help me:
1. How do I know what version of Android I've got on this thing. Nowhere can I find a place to see the version number. And the AutoNooter 3.0 page didn't tell me what version it installs. 2.2?
2. Does Flash work on this or not? This is related to question 1, because I need to at least know what Android version I'm using before I can even beging to search to figure out whether Flash works with it.
3. What is CM7?
4. I tried installing Flash101.apk with ADB, but get the message: INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK. Again, I'd like to know what this means, but what I've read says the Flash version is for an newer Android version. So, we're back to... what version of Android is on this thing?
As fas as the rest, does anyone know if there's anything out there that goes over basic terms for those of us completely new to Android and tablets/phones and rooting them? Much of the instructions I read refer to things I've never heard of and, when I try looking up those terms, I just get more terms I've never heard of.
Thanks!
1) You have 2.1 (Eclair)
2) No, you need 2.2. There are several options, including simply running it from an SD card or flashing it to memory (eMMC)
3) CM7 is andrioid 2.3. Good stuff, but still a work in progress.
4) See #2
Thanks very much for responding.
Regarding your answers:
1. Is there a place on the Nook where I can find this?
2. Can you recommend a link to a method for getting this? Is it an upgrade, or would I be completely re-rooting this thing and having to reconfigure everything?
Any suggestions on some basic information for newbies?
Thanks again!
Sorry, I don't think I understand the question. Could you specify what you mean by "this"? Thanks.
Sorry, not sure which question you're referring to.
1. This = The version currently running on it.
2. This = Version 2.2
I can't be certian since I have moved to a CM7 variant, but I think it might be under settings either about or device information.
If you rooted with Autonooter you are on Android 2.1 Eclair. If you are running a froyo rom you are on Android 2.2. If on a CM7 based Rom you are on gingerbread android 2.3

CM7 (Cyanogenmod 7) is a custom rom, which is a custom operating system that replaces your current one. If you are not familiar with Android yet or rooting, I would stick with autnooter for now. Phiremod beta 2 is a stable custom rom with flash, but you need clockwork recovery first to install it.
Yeah, checked those places Wile E, but didn't see it there. Thanks, though.
stelv, would that run off the card or internally? If it runs off the card, I could try it out without messing up what I've already got, right?

Most custom rom installs (phiremod) would erase what you have now completely. You would have to redownload programs and use the nook color app from market for books. You could use titanium backup to backup and restore apps. There is a thread here and on androidtablets.net for phiremod beta 2.
But there may be a version of froyo that runs off sdcard but I am not sure how stable that is. If you are running froyo from an sdcard and mess with the nook internally, it may mess your nook up when you remove the card and try to go back to your old setup.
The good thing with the beta 2 version of phiremod is that you can restore a previous version of the nook from the clockwork recovery menu if you have cwr installed. That is if you make a backup first through cwr on your autonooter version of nook.
If you decide to go the route of a custom rom I would check out the how to on androidtablets.net about clockworkmod recovery first.
sent from my rooted nook color
Thanks for all the info. When you say "custom roms," are you referring to any rooting of your Nook Color? Is the version of Android I have after running the AutoNooter 3.0 considered a custom rom? Or did I just merely strip off some of the "skin" Barnes & Noble has on there, 'cause it didn't seem very much like I'd started over, but more like I "got past" something that was already on there and, therefore, opened up more functionality. Does that make any sense? I'm getting the feeling that Nookie Froyo and CM7 completely wipe your Nook and give you a fresh OS. Yes?

Ok here is another long book by me, sorry for the long posts
Yes, Nookie Froyo, CM7, Phiremod give you an entirely new OS.
Custom roms are not any rooting. They are entirely different android operating systems so to speak. Most require one to wipe the devices internal Rom (Read Only Memory) in order to put a new one on. This is sort of risky as it erases everything, but is made less risky by using stable custom roms in combo with clockwork recovery. If the internal memory gets messed up and the procedures for instaling a custom rom are not followed or an error happens, your device will be unusable until fixed (fixed usually by booting CWR off sdcard and installing a stock image). Please do research and ask around XDA or androidtablets before installing a custom rom to know what the ups and downs of it are.
Also please keep in mind on the Nook certain Roms like CM7 require a different version of CWR and require a workaround to work as of now. It can be kind of tricky to install. Phiremod Beta2 can be installed through normal recovery. Check us out over at http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/nook/ if you want. There are a lot of useful guides over there.
Yes autonooter just opens up functionality
Autonooter is not a custom Rom. It is just the method of rooting or unlocking your android device. Rooting an Android device makes you system administrator of the device. This is so you can do things beyond what B&N lets you do with the device like use the Android market.
This is what I did with my Nook. Autnootered it>installed Clockwork Recovery>Made a backup with Clockwork Recovery>Then Installed Phiremod beta2 through clockwork recovery as per the instructions for that rom
Thanks again for this. I appreciate you taking the time to explain this to a newbie. It's beginning to make much more sense now. For now, I'll stick with what I've got, keep reading and then go from there.
Ugh. Authentication error while reading a book and then a reset, and I'm back to the beginning. Except worse, because even navigation while reading a book doesn't work right. Anyone experience this?
Sorry I don't have that issues so I am not sure. Maybe its a password issue?
Perhaps. Don't know. Starting over from scratch. All I know is that it happened when I was merely reading a book, about ten minutes after trying to login to Google Talk with a different Google account than the one I used during the AutoNooter process.
Who knows...
Attempted to root a Nook Color I got for a birthday present for my gf. Didn't work, and got stuck at the N scree.
Reflashed 1.1 from SD via Clockwork. Now, the internal storage shows 0.0 free.
I gotta' give this to her on Wed. or not have a present...which means I'm in big trouble, and yeah...you get the point.
Any ideas on a quick easy fix? Tried factory reset, no dice.
Don't knnow what could have done that. User Eyeballer has a good guide on how to install just about anything on your nook. It is in this forum, and in fact is currently the thread above this one. I would suggest you try to install CM7 using his guide and see what happens. If that works, you can go back to stock using his guide if you wish, but most of us would recommend staying with CM7. They will be releasing the next stable build within days, and CM7 is truly incredible.
i got a 1.2 nook in today.
wrote an image to my 8gb to get clockwork recovery. after that, i used manualnooter.
reboot and everything looked good. i could open android market and whatnot but since im an android cell phone user, i wanted cyanogen mod on my nook
flash the latest nightly/gapps but couldnt get past the "touch the android to begin screen." did the four corners trick and it worked but there was no android market and googletalk wouldnt work (i would press it and it would auto close itself)
then i flashed miui, got a bunch of FCs.
then i flashed phiremod, same problems as the latest CM mightly.
my questions:
1. whats the most stable rom?
2. im use to everything working on my phone, are there just some things that are not going to work on the NC? obviously text messages and phone arent.
3. how do i get android market on there (so i can get google maps/youtube/etc)?
thanks
You probably need to repartition your nook if it came with 1.2 pre-installed

eyeballer said:
This guide is intended to take you through the (mostly windows-based) steps needed to replace your internal nook rom with CM7, gapps and clockworkmod recovery 3.2.0.1 (latest as of 6/5/11) all on EMMC. This will work coming from any previous rom, including the latest stock software (excluding dual boot set ups, not supporting that here), no previous rooting is needed for a new nook, however don't forget to boot stock and register the device before flashing to CM7.

however, some applications i cant install. i can search for it and click on it but there is no install button => Facebook, Groupon

If you look in the forums there is plenty of information on how to root your Nook Color.
The warning about downloading something may harm your computer is a warning from the browser. If you get lost by that you may want to considering ordering a bootable SD card. No tech skills required, just pay $30 and get Gingerbread via SD.
"have a 16gb samsung micro scandisk card."
What do you intend to have the card used for?
Follow the instructions in this thread:
[NC][1.2][1.3] ManualNooter 4.6.16
The instructions are step by step. Just to clarify for the instructions, if you are on stock 1.3, you need to run ManualNooter 4.5.18 and ManualNooter 4.6.16; no reboot between, just run one after the other in CWR.

OMFG - really? Of all the f'ing things I think I tried, I don't believe that I ran 18 then 16 w/out a reboot. I think I tried all other combinations including running fix permissions from ROM manager in between, but how the hell did I miss something that obvious?!!!
To try again, think I just need to re-flash 18 then 16, or do I have to revert back to 1.3, then go 18 then 16?
[edit] turns out flashing 18 then 16 w/out reverting back to 1.3 stock does absolutely nothing.

Glad I could help.
My Experience Rooting
My NC came with 1.2.
I followed the direction at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027
I first upgraded from 1.2 to 1.3
Followed the rest of the procedure.
Everything went fine until I opened the Market. Many applications were not listed. Applications such a the Dolphin Browser and my application, BASIC! + SQL. Reading the thread showed me that I was not alone. It seemed that no one was able to get the full Market using this procedure.
I trudged through the thread looking for ways to get the Market to work correctly. I tried many of the suggestions. Nothing worked to get me access to the full Market. I finally came to the conclusion that 1.3 + Gingerbread was a Donut (Pun intended).
I decided to revert reset my NC to the factory original factory 1.2 ROM. I did this by following the instruction at:
http://www.nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
I used the method of interrupting boots. I found that I only had to interrupt three boots. The Nook then proceeded to completely return to a fresh 1.2 all in one step. The Nook started up just like it came out of the box.
I then went back to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027
And followed the procedure for 1.2 but instead of loading ManualNooter-4-6-16.zip, I used ManualNooter-4-6-16a.zip. The "a" version link can be found at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17235819&postcount=1
(Note: I did not flash 4-5-18)
After executing the re-flash procedure, I rebooted into 1.2 with FroYo.
All Market applications are not available. I was able to install Dolphin and my application.
Happy day.
Rooting my nook 1.3
I tried following this instructions and I failed. I am not computer smart, so most of the language you use and the other language the articles use are foreign to me. Can someone please speak simple English and walk with me step by step? I can give you my number, I really need some simple help here.
I know what you mean about all the jargon. It gave me head aches when I started this a couple of weeks ago.
Since I made that post, I found a procedure that is simple and works very well. It worked the first time I tried in. It gave me a perfectly functioning Android tablet.
Try it.
