Been reading posts here for weeks getting ready to take the plunge. I got a refurb Nook Color (blue dot) this week and am expecting an 8gb SanDisk card today (after learning here to use SanDisk only). I have bookmarked dozens of xda pages in preparation, and thought I sort of knew which way to go.
But now I'm getting confused about the blue dot and partitioning problems, double booting, which nightly to use, and more worries than you'll want to read here.
I've had androids for a while, but never wanted to risk bricking. Which is one of the many appealing things about Nook. I want to only make changes on the sd card and be able to revert to the original Nook if I ever need to.
I've read lots of the how-to's here and was all set to use CM7, but am getting cold feet, and a little confused. Is Phiremod an updated revision to that? Should I use that? I'm not interested in Honeycomb right now, and don't want to sacrifice stability for excitement in any experimental builds.
Any guidance or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm pretty excited about this, but today am thinking Uh oh, am I in over my head?

Honestly I would recommend running your rom off of the emmc and not sd card. The majority of ppl with CM issues are ppl booting it off of SD card.
The really nice thing about the nook is even if you completely screw up the flashing to emmc, you can put a clockwork img on your sd card, and the nook will boot from sd card first to restore from. With that being said, I would try one of the newest CM nightlies and go from there.
Personally, I would install the latest nightly CM7. The instructions at the following thread cover both versions of the NOOK.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227
Phiremod is based on cm7, just more heavily themed.
install it to emcc is better for my opinion and also if you are not used to tshooting some bugs that may come with latest nightly. I will go with the stable version from CM with the OC kerlen @ 1.3(I been having that set up for a while and never had a single problem )

Thanks. I have been reading that link for the last few days, so will go with that. I appreciate the other replies suggesting I install to the emmc, but at this point in my life, I definitely want to just use the sd card.
What does "nightly" mean? I picture people working on this every night and coming up with revisions, like a "daily" newspaper. This is probably not what it means, but I was wondering.

I have been running CM7 off a SanDisk SD card for quite a bit of time now, and I have not experienced any issues. I am, however, running the latest 'stable' version (7.0.3).
"nightly" does indeed mean (almost) every night, from what I have seen. When you go to the site to get an image, you will see links to nightly revisions.
Thanks very much for the reply. I'm going to get started on this later tonight. And thanks for clarifying the "nightly" part. I was going to go with the most recent stable version, but I wonder if it makes more sense to go with the latest nightly, if that means it's been tinkered with to work out any bugs that pop up. But it also might mean new things being tried in the nightlies at the same time. Stable vs nightlies?
I know it's confusing, but you are better off with the current nightly as it is really "stable". Couple it with the latest gapps and OC kernel, the NC is just a beast of a device!
The stable version is sort of outdated... Or just install the stable version to relieve your apprehension and wait until the next stable release comes out.

So if the latest nightly is really stable, who determines when the latest "nightly" is renamed "stable"?
I'm just sticking with CM7, tried Phiremod but decided to go back.
As far as nightlys becoming stables, I think the nightlys are built automatically, whereas the stables have a little more human interaction. Could be wrong tho.

You're right about it being confusing. Okay, I'm about to get started and going with the nightly, cm_encore_full-105.zip (instead of the 106 after reading someone had to go back to 105 and netflix worked again). Got the NC, got the sandisk card, got the nightly link and other links to directions. I hope I don't have to come back with 25 more questions. Thanks for all suggestions.
I got as far as installing image installer on the sd card, removing it, and then pc requires card formatting, which removes the installer. I can use use win32disk imager to write verygreen's image installer on the card, but then run into the formatting problem. Computer does not see card at all after writing the image to it; I remove and reinsert and it wants to format. (Sandisk 8gb) What am I doing wrong?
I haven't even gotten near the NC yet. I can't get past the sd card.
I think I'm doing something wrong with verygreen's installer image. I have to remove the ".gz" suffix for win32diskimager to see it and write it to the card, but it does it in only a couple of seconds, which I think is not right. If I leave the .gz on, win32d will not see it. How else can I get his installer image onto the card? It appears from the directions, I need win32di to write it there.

The .gz file is actually a compressed file kind of like a .rar or .zip file. Use a program like 7-zip to extract the .img file. The image file (.img) is the one you should be burning to the SD via Win32diskimager. Then you should be on your way.
Thank you very much. (Sometimes I wish we could remove questions that sound idiotic after we find the solution, but hopefully it will be helpful to others when they come across them.)
I did the unzipping, then used win32di to put it on the card, installed it on the NC, installed gapps according to directions, and all I can say is:
TOTALLY AMAZINGLY UN***BELIEVABLE!!!

Hi guys,
I recently bought a Nook Color and i want to root it. I am hearing things about Autonooter and putting an image on my micro SD card. Personally i just want the best option to root my Nook, i want to overclock it aswell .
Really sorry if someone has already posted a thread like this, i tried searching for one.
I havent opened my Nook Color yet so guessing the software would be 1.0.0 so how would i root it to 1.1.1 and also stop OTA and install a overclocking software.
Thanks, XDA is amazing, recently rooted my Notion Ink Adam
I too would be interested in such a thing. There is information all over the place, but most seems to be geared toward people that understand the "lingo" and such...
I agree
reading MD5 hash
I'm pretty new to this- I have my NK running 1.0.1 using autonooter and want to update to 1.1. I think I've got a grip on using ClockworkMod, but in the instructions for downloading the 1.1 kernel, it says to "check the MD5 hash"- how do I get this info from the downloaded ZIP file? I don't want to even try and do the update without making sure the download is not corrupt.
Thanks!

I have to say though, to the OP, that reading through all the guides (and some comments) in the dev forums would be the best because you'll learn all the ins n outs. Having a noob guide is fine but it's fun searching for the info yourself and you'll learn/remember a lot more about your device. having a noob guide that is not comprehensive enough just promotes needless questions when the info is all over the place elsewhere.
Thanks for the link superkevx! Additionally, is there any way to do the check on the Nook itself? I downloaded it using the stock browser & can pull the SD card and check it on my 'puter, but it would be nice to be able to just do it locally.
I agree with you comment about the noob guide- I've learned so much trolling the dev forums...
i do try to find everything its just some things i dont get:
like clockworkmod, i think its to do with disabling OTA but im not sure
which is better,autonooter or installing on SD
,if you could answer these questions i would be really grateful thanks

Patrikc8- from my experience (have ROM Manager & Clockworkmod installed in prep for 1.1 update), Clockwork mod is used for making system backups and doing system restores (including installs of custom ROM's)
As far as the SD vs autonooter- installing to the SD means that you typically don't touch the original system files on the Nook itself- good for trying out a ROM that you are interested in but not sure you want to keep. There may be a performance hit though because you're constantly reading from the potentially slower SD media (correct me if I'm wrong on that anybody). I used autonooter to root my Nook and it has worked great since- it is apparently a very easy way to root and I had no trouble doing it.
Aha!

For what it's worth- did a little investigating & you can use Astro file manager to get the MD5sum- just do a long touch to the file in question and choose "Details".
SHould i use auto nooter 1.0.1 or the nook color v1.1.1 ROM?
and im guessing you have to root it first then install a rom then install a kernal?
would there be a big difference in 1.1.1 and 1.0.1 ?
I bought my Nook Color a couple of weeks ago. It was on 1.0.0. The first thing I did was update to 1.0.1. I then downloaded the Autonooter for 1.0.1 on my pc. I also installed Win32DiskImage.exe on my pc, and followed the directions to burn the image to my sd card. I followed the instructions exactly as they are laid out on nookdevs. I then reformatted my sd card back to normal to use for storage in my device.
One thing that happens when you run autonooter is that clockwork recovery is installed. This is simply a tool that will allow you to perform functions at a lower level than the android interface will allow. It my look a little intimidating at first, but go slow, and make sure you are absolutely sure that anything you do in CWR matches what it is listed in the instructions posted. Every action requires a confirmation, so, again, go slow and think it through.
A few days later, the 1.1.1 update came out. I used the updated Rom and instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145
Something that I found confusing is using alternate home screens. I finally determined that Zeam was the right choice for me. It is free in the market. The other tool you should download from the market is called Home Switcher. It will let you switch between different launchers (e.g. Zeam, BN stock home, etc.). Again, you will probably have to experiment a bit to get things working the way you like.
Lastly, to improve the performance overall, I flashed a few different kernels. You may want to play with your nook for a while to get comfortable first. When you choose to flash a kernel, you will boot into recovery (this brings up the Clockwork Recovery program), and pick the zip file that you download to your sd card. My recommendation is to start with the 900mHz kernel first. Make sure your nc is stable, then try some of the faster ones.
As far as MD5s, I have not ever checked after downloading, and have not had any problems as a result. It is something I need to investigate further and start doing.
Hope this helps. I do agree with superkevx above. Browse and search and experiment. It is very unlikely that you will do any permanent damage to your nook, although it is possible. Everyone needs to have at least one bricked device along the way. I have learned more by rendering my devices inoperable and then figuring out how to get them back again. You know you're doing it right if your palms are a little sweaty as you wait for your device to reboot.
you guys have been great , thank you
So we just bought a nook color and she is still new to it. Obviously, she reads lots of books and I... well, want to make this into a tab and play w/ it. She might want to do web browsing and install some games/apps, but primarily will be used as an e-reader.
What rom (if any) do you suggest I flash? Or will I be better off just rooting the device and leaving it as is (w/ market)? She has no patience for developmental stuff so looking for something stable but also something I can play with

Root the Stock and leave it. its the most stable rom.
Make your own SD card, running Nookie Froyo or CyanogenMod. When you take the card out and reboot, her machine is completely back to normal, or so I'm told. You both get to have what you want.
I can run CM from SD card w/o rooting the device!? if so... sweet, I saw sum tuts but still educating myself. Rooting and leaving stock is also a good idea, however I heard B&N is able to update your device thus losing root... Is this true?
For her, it sounds like just rooting would be the best option, since it has the market, all of the B&N features, and is stable. As mentioned above, running a ROM from the sd card is a good option for you. After rooting it, you could format the sd card used to root, and then load a ROM such as CM7, Froyo, or Honeycomb from the SD card to play with.
This way, she has her mostly stock setup, and you have your tablet setup that you can load by just popping in the sd card and rebooting. When you're done playing with it, power down, pop the sd card out, reboot, and it's back to her setup.
If you do decide to run a ROM from the sd card, make sure to get at least a class 4 (sandisk class 4 4GB works well for me). Then, if you find something that would work for both of you, you could look at flashing to internal EMMC for better speed/performance. Another option is dual-booting between ROMs, which you can find more about in the development section.

There is a thread in the dev section on how to block the updates. Here's a link to the sd card version of CM7 you asked about. You don't have to root first, but you can.

As suggested I'd root the stock software for the wife, and when you want to play choose a ROM that can run from the sdcard and you will be good to go.
Currently I run 4 different setups. Stock rooted on internal mem. Then I setup 3 different sdcards to mess around with Honeycomb, CM7, and Froyo from time to time.

You do not have to root it first. All you have to do is create a live SDcard with Clockwork ROM manager put the SDCard in and boot it up holding the n and the power button in > wipe > flash CM7.
With this device reading off the SD first you do not have "antonoot" first.
I've ran CM7, Honeycomb and a few others. My personal choice is stock rooted device is perfect.

She gonna be using it 75% of the time, so I decided to root and leave it as is. Everything works good. I tried to do nookie froyo off SD card but had too much trouble w/ adb, i'll save it for another week. But for now, stock root works good. Got Zeam and Home switcher to help both of us out
I wanted to point out the only downside of rooted stock is that she cannot use in the in-store B&N features! If she plans on using that (i've heard they have not only the hour of reading free, but also sometimes offer deals and events) then you might wanna not be rooted and use the SD card. I know this is a little late to tell you as you already did it, but I thought I'd let you know anyway.

I'll throw this in for whenever you feel like creating a bootable SD CARD to play with. I've found that higher class sd cards make a much bigger difference in how fast/well the rom operates than you might think.
I have been lurking and reading for a couple of weeks now. I bought a used NC with 1.1 and used Autonooter to root it. Works great.
I bought a second NC which had the 1.2 s/w on it. I used the manualnooter process to root it. That works pretty well.
Now I'm thinking about getting into the nightly CM7 game. I'm wondering is there anything I need to watch out for with the 2 NC's I have if I do this. Do I have to take them back to stock? Can I just follow the CM7 instructions?
Any insight and guidance would be appreciated
50 views and no replies. If you read this and can help I would really appreciate some info. I'm reluctant to proceed until I hear from someone who has traveled the road before. Thanks
You can run CM7, stable or nightly, off of an SD card. You don't have to change anything on your Nooks to do this. In fact, they don't even need to be rooted. Running CM7 on the SD card will not change anything on the built-in memory of the Nook.
Look for the "size agnostic" thread, follow the directions, and you're good to go.
ps. I enjoy your music.
yeah, just follow the instructions on flashing cm7 for the first time. and make sure you understand the CWM instructions. you may want to try a stable rom for now. there are lots of battery and kernel issues right now with the nightly builds. but not to fear the devs are working hard to fix them. just stay with the stable's and your be fine. I hope this was helpful...

Well, I went ahead figuring "How hard could it be anyway?".
I did the nand backup with CWM 3.0.2.8
I then ran ROM manager V4.2.0.2 from internal memory.
I choose the option that allows me to download ROMS.
I chose CyanogenMod, and then chose 7.0.3.
I downloaded the ROM
I then chose Install ROM from SD card
It asked me about clearing caches, etc and I chose the default values already checked.
It installed without errors.
I rebooted and it got to the last part of the boot process where the word "color" is rapidly changing and stayed there indefinitely,
I rebooted with CWM on the SD card and tried to reinstall the Manualnooter I loaded on this NC a week ago.
Rebooted. Still hung up.
I copied my nand backup to the CWN SD card and chose restore.
It booted back to my manualnooter install successfully.
So I'm successfully back where I started.
Can someone help me understand what I did wrong on what I need to do to make it work? Thanks
Not sure what went wrong, but I would also suggest trying verygreen's size-agnostic approach. You keep your manual nooter and can run CM7 from an SD card to see if you want to go all the way and remove the stock BN software.
Try this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
Or, if you want to go crazy, you could try racks' dual boot SD card image of Phiremod 6.2 (a variation of CM7) and Honeycomb. That's what I'm using and Phiremod works great (aside from battery life ) and honeycomb is just plain slick to use.

I loaded CM7 7.0.2 stable and was able to get it going. Thanks
I've been trying to find answers to all my questions but it's hard when I haven't been keeping up with the CM7 process, so I'll just start with the simplest I have
I am currently running CM7.0.3, can I update to Nightly 177 without clearing anything? (or should I update to 7.1 RC instead of 177)
The other question that I have that might be able to have an easy answer...is there any place I can go that tells me all the features of CM7 on Nook? I know a lot has changed in between 7.0.3 and now...their release notes are confusing because it deals a lot with fixes and backend that I don't need to know. Alternatively, if someone would wanna outline the changed/additions, that'd be awesome too!
7.1RC is pretty stable. I just updated to 176 the other day though and it's been almost as stable (a random freeze here or there.)
For updating, all you need to do is clear dalvik cache. You can keep all your apps, settings, etc.
As to what's really new, I'm not sure of all the changes. I know the kernel included in 176 allows for OCing to 1200MHz so that's nice. Hopefully someone else can chime in with what the big stuff is.
You can safely update to 177 either with ROM Manager if installed on the eMMC or by dropping the 177 .zip file onto the boot partition of the SD card if running off of the card. All you need to wipe is Davlik in either case.
You're not telling us how you run CM7, from eMMC or uSD.
if you do flash to n177 you'll also need this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dalingrin.nookcolortweaks&feature=search_result
thanks for the replies guys! Sorry, i forgot to mention that I'm currently running it off eMMC.
@boxcar8028 Thanks for the link that app!
This kinda brings me to the other question i had that I'm currently reading through the post for, but I'll ask here if anyone knows the answer...
I'd really like to do duel boot CM7 and B&N 1.3. Is it possible for me to go from where I am, update to 177 (or 7.1RC or anything like that), back that up and then do the duel boot from that file? That way I don't lose anything and I'm able to get duel boot?
I'm reading through ikingblack's post, but there is 17 pages and I don't have much time to spend on the forums unfortunately, so it'll take me a while to get all the way through!
Thanks again everyone!
I always prefer updating CM7 using CwM uSD card, not using ROM Manager.
Pop the new image into the uSD's root folder, boot up then install zip from there.
Note: you might (and most likely) run into the Market issue, don't panic, everyone of us got hit.
If you want to use stock 1.3, then I suggest spend $25 purchasing a 16G Sandisk uSD and boot CM7 off it.
bumping this in hopes someone can tell me what's new still...
@votinh, I don't like the idea of booting off the SD card because although many have not had any issues, many others have plus I like the idea of it actually being on there. if anything I'd love to be able to run the B&N software off a SD, but as far as I know the person who was working on that stopped and no one else has.
I'm just about to update to RC7.1 but now I'm hearing that the sleep of death issue is back, so I'm not sure about it. I'm pretty sure that it was fixed around 7.0.3 or before right?
We or at least I don't know what the new/additions/fixes/enhancements on the front-end of CM7 but what we know is their development logs:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=encore
I am very much new on Rooting the NC. I finally updated to the 1.3 and then used the manual nooter to root it again. However, after doing quite a bit of research, I have been seeing people posting about flashing the
" Dalingrin Kernels" ??
What are these?? and if it would help my NC to be a little more stable, or faster, could I use these?? and if so, how would I do this??
Thanks!!
They are customized kernels that allow for overclocking, and some other "unlocked" features. They are actually included in the CM7 nightlies now, so you don't have to flash them separately. You can go into the Cyanogenmod Settings to change the CPU clock in the Performance section to overclock. Other stuff that's working include bluetooth and usb host mode.
I would highly recommend just using one of the latest nightly CM7 releases. If you want to stick with rooted stock, then you should still be able to flash the kernel, I believe.
Add on to what pony said,
+ it created by Dalingrin, that's why it gets the name.
+ Dalingrin recently release new set of kernels in September, but I have no clue what news, enhancements or any advanced features added. I hope he will post the log some days.

I am very much new on Rooting the NC. I finally updated to the 1.3 and then used the manual nooter to root it again. However, after doing quite a bit of research, I have been seeing people posting about flashing the
" Dalingrin Kernels" ??
What are these?? and if it would help my NC to be a little more stable, or faster, could I use these?? and if so, how would I do this??
Thanks!!

Find the Dalingrin post in the Development section that contains the link to kernals. Use the 090111 kernal (there are two so pick the one that is to be flashed from the SD card). You can use the same CWM SD card that was used to install Manualnooter. Put the zip on the card, the card in the Nook, boot to CWM and flash. Following a reboot, you will be in business.
I did this when I installed Manualnooter 4.6.16 but you should be able to do it at any time. I coud not tell you if it makes any difference as I did not run rooted 1.3 without it.
