Hi all,
I hope this is the right place to put this - I'm not sure if it's a Nook Color, Cyanogenmod, ROM Manager, or Clockworkmod issue. I just rooted my NC to CM7 using Clockworkmod and it seems to work fine. I tried installing the GoogleApps .zip file at the same time. It said it was successful, but I don't see any of the Google apps in the apps drawer.
So, I went to ROM Manager to try and fix this. When I first opened ROM Manager it said I needed an SD Card installed to use it (I had removed it after the successful flash). So I inserted the card and mounted it in Settings->Storage and tried again. Now when I click on anything it says "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install the recovery through ROM Manager first."
If I click the Install button, the dialog closes and nothing happens. If I click the menu option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" the title of the screen (ROM Manager v4.2.0.0) flashes for a split second. That's it. Nothing is installed.
If I reboot while holding the upside-down U button I eventually get an "Update failed!" screen that looks like it comes from the standard Nook UI. If I try to reboot into recovery using the Power button it just reboots as normal.
I've found a large amount of resources online regarding the "unable to reboot into recovery" issue, but I feel like I don't know enough about what I'm actually doing to implement them. I also don't know how the inability to flash ClockworkMod fits into this. It's especially strange how selecting the option to flash it actually does nothing.
Anyone have ideas?

Question, did you have clockworkmod installed on your sd when you flashed cm7 or was it installed internally? Can you boot into recovery with rom manager? If clockwork is on sd, find the newest clockwork zip and flash it with your card internally. That should allow you to update to the newest version in Rom Manager. Try reflashing gapps.

Clockworkmod was installed on the SD card.
I cannot boot into recovery using ROM Manager. It just restarts the device as normal.
I believe I have the latest CWM because I grabbed it from their website yesterday (4.2.0.0). How do I flash it internally? That's what I was attempting to do with ROM Manager. I followed the steps listed in thread #922870 on this forum (still can't post links) and I believe that results in CWM on internal memory, but ROM Manager still behaves the same way.
I did reflash gapps twice, but there is still no Maps, Market, Gmail, etc.
I just noticed something else. When I mount my SD card on the NC it shows up as empty: /mnt/sdcard has no contents. Does this indicate an error with the SD card and/or partitions? I am using the 8 GB image of CWM on my 16 GB card (because there is no 16 GB version).

Your SD card has clockwork burned as an image which the nook cannot read. You can format the card later for use (go to nookdevs website). I am attaching a zip file for clockworkmod 3.0.1.0 (credit goes to Mistar Muffin). Put that on your SD card, insert it into the nook and boot it up. It should take you into recovery. You can then flash the zip file and get Clockworkmod on your emmc. You should be able to update to the new version 3.0.2.8 from Rom Manager at that point. I think the nook is confused with the absence of Clockwork internally. As far as your rom goes, I would boot into recovery when the Clockworkmod issue is resolved and reflash the CM7 build, reboot, go back into recovery and flash the gapps. You can repeat the process with an overclocked kernel if you choose. This zip is a file that floated around the forum for awhile. It was removed when Clockworkmod got an update. I have used it on my nook. It should be safe. Good luck

Thanks for your help; unfortunately this did not work. Nothing has changed. I placed the zip file in my SD card that already has CWM imaged. I went to "Install zip from SD card" and installed the zip. It completely successfully. Then I rebooted and entered ROM Manager, which told me I needed the SD card back in. I mounted the SD card and am encountering the same issues as before.
What could I have possibly done to mess this up? I followed all the steps listed on the Cyanogenmod website and they never mention anything about flashing CWM internally. Another question - why do I need the SD card for ROM Manager if that app is downloading things from the internet?
Thanks!

Try uninstalling and reinstalling Rom Manager. Dont know if that will help or not.

How would I reinstall ROM manager? I don't have any sort of Market on the device.
Best best bet is going back to stock and trying from scratch

Sorry, my bad. I forget that Rom Manager is part of the CM7 package. You should not need the sd card for Rom Manager to work properly. I am not sure why it is calling for it. Can you reboot into recovery with the power+n method, not the SD card? If you can do that, it tells me clockwork installed correctly. If you can get there, I would do your formats (data, system) and reflash the rom. Another option, if Titanium Backup is part of the rom package try to wipe data in rom manager and give it another try. You may can do that in manage applications (I don't have my nook with me). The link below may or may not help. Look at option 3. The 3.0.1.0 zip it is calling for is the one I sent you prior. I am about out of options. Good luck.

AHA! I solved it, and it wasn't directly an issue with anything except my stupidity. I was connecting to my company's guest wireless, which as it turns out requires a username/password before you get anything other than the login screen. That is why the ROM manager was failing to flash itself - it had a worthless wifi connection. When I switched to another wireless access point it works just fine.
Thanks for your assistance bdcrim! Sorry it wasn't a more satisfying conclusion.

Thats okay, glad you got it going. Made me dig a bit, which probably helped both of us be a little more educated for future issues. Have a great day.
Hello, fellow Androidians who are wiser than I,
I bought a Nook Color and managed to get CWM and CM7 installed on an 8gb SD card (not rooted to the Nook yet). I'm trying to get Gapps installed so I can install other Google apps, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I downloaded the .zip file from the cyanogen mod wiki (bottom of page), the version for CM7. Actually I clicked on the first link and got a major malware warning for my PC, but the mirror link worked fine.
So I turned off my Nook, took the SD card out, put it back in the PC and copied the gapps...zip file to the SD card. The instructions I followed are kind of unclear about this whole thing. I copied it into the only partition that comes up in Windows (called Boot). Then I put the SD card back in the Nook and restart it.
At this point I am supposed to reboot into recovery mode. I think I did that, but I don't get any dialogues to answer, so I'm not sure if I did or not. I have rebooted a couple of times from within the OS by using the "Reboot/Reboot to Recovery Mode" option when turning off. The Nook reboots, but it seems to just start normally, and no new Marketplace icon is visible. Also the .zip file on the hard drive is still there.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
I think I've heard something before about making sure you're connected to wifi?
I heard that you have to go online and then the Marketplace icon shows up, but I was already on Wifi. I turned it off, rebooted and turned it back on, but nothing happened.
This has happened to me as well. I've found if you flash CM7 7.0.2, with the gapps and everything, then flash 7.0.3, with the gapps and kernel, it will work (at least for me it does)

Do you mean that the .zip file is still on the SD card (in the /boot partition)? If so, you probably haven't made it into recovery mode yet. Instead of using the "Reboot to recovery" option, turn off the Nook, then power it on by holding the "n" button and power button together. Keep holding both buttons until about 3-4 seconds after you first see text on the screen ("Touch the future" or "Read forever").
Ah thanks jll, that's what it was. It's kind of a weird process, you actually have to turn it on like that twice. The first time it just goes off. It's working now, thanks.
cant install gapps either
I cant install the gapps either . I installed cm7 iniatially .Then I downloaded the gapps to the sd card . I have read other threads of people redoing the sd card and installing cm7 and gapps at the same time just wanted some advice before going down this path
I have a Nook Color that has already has CM7 on it, running off of internal memory. (I did not do the install)
I inserted my own SD Card and attemped to install a recent build but I cannot get it to go into the Clockwork Recovery mode to install the update. Even weirder, it will not reset the device, I can't get the previous owners info off the device.
I'm new to the Nook, but have had many Android devices before and have rooted them all.
I've tried holding the N + Pwr buttons to get it into recovery more with no luck... I guess what I need is help on either resetting this device or updating from here?
Any advice would be helpful.

Do you have ROM Manager on it? If not, download it from the market. (You need a SD card inserted when using it.) Open it up and the 1st line should show if you have CWR installed and what version. If not installed, does it give an option to install the latest version? I would do that first and reboot. Then, you can use ROM Manager to update to a new nightly....
Yes, ROM Manager is what you need. The Nook is a little different from other devices because Clockwork is run from the SD card during the initial root/install. To get it on the internal memory, use ROM Manager's option to flash latest recovery, then use the option to boot into recovery.
Thank you for replying. I have ROM manager installed and have tried all the Clockwork Recovery version available... when i select reboot into recovery it reboots, says loading, then says android in landscape... and just boots into android.
and just boots into android.

What do you want it to boot into and why? Does ROM Manager show CWR installed internally? You should be doing everything from there. Open ROM Manager. If you see you have the latest CWR skip down to updating CM7. Pick the newest nightly, include google/market apps and go. On next prompt, wipe Davlik only. Let it do it's thing. It takes a little time to download and install. It will boot into recovery, do the installation and then reboot into the new nightly. Make sure the SD card you have instaolled is not a bootable card.
I've had 7.0.3 on SD card and tried to update tonight. Put nightly 203 and gapps 0821onto SD card. Power up nook, it unpacks 203 and gapps then shuts down. No matter what I've tried, I cannot get the nook to power on (power button for couple minutes, power and n, connected to PC, re-created the 203/0821 SD card, re-created a 203/0613gapps SD card, etc).
So I finally wanted a sanity check, put 7.0.3 and gapps 20110307 back on, unpacked , then booted up fine... so I think I have the process down.
What the heck is going on???
What version of the SD installer image are you using? V3 doesn't fully support 7.0.3 so updating does not work. You tried a fresh install of the nightly correct?

I have 1.3 of the SD installer image that I first used back in May or early June timeframe (from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957 ). I was surprised to see it is still the same version.
Yes, I used the windows utility to re-image this 1.3 installer. Re-inserted the card into PC. Then copied the nightly 203 and gapps 0821 zip files.
Assuming you have created a good uSD imager.
My suggestion: do nb203 first then gapps next, do one at the time, not both, meaning get the nb203 in the uSD, let it update, shut down, back to PC, copy the gapps over, redo the process to update gapps.
My question: where do you get the gapps 0821? I thought 20110613 is the latest one.
I think the SD image is good, I have done the CM7.0.3 with gapps two or three times now.
I can never get the nook to boot into RecoveryModeif I put the gapps file on after the CM7 has unpacked/updated. When I first made the SD card, I had to do both together then as well because I could not get into RecoveryMode.
Here is where I downloaded 0821: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
I saw that there is some RecoveryMode.zip file. Can I put that on the SD with gapps to force RecoveryMode? I read about it but it wasn't clear if it can be used like this.
Thank you for the advice BTW.

If you install any newer CM7 nightlies just power on holding the "n" until you see the logo say loading menu... then you can select SD card and Recovery mode.
You can also copy uRec* to uAlt* and power on holding vol + and - together to skip the menu altogether.
Thanks for the help! I didn't realize / forgot that you could get into recovery mode easily after installing CM7. I had a heck of a time first time I put 7.0.3 on a while back so wanted to do CM7 and gapps at the same time. Anyway, I am running CM7 nightly 203 and gapps 201106113 now
Glad things work out well for you, m8
Enjoy CM7
Hi Guys, needing a bit of help to see if I can get my Nook HD+ back up and running.
A little background. Nook is 2013 model. Has worked pretty well in past, had added files last year to allow access to Play and flash, worked well, so I came back here when my nook went to the 99% reboot screen and has locked up there. B&N can't seem to help any. None of my computers will recognize the nook, so I can't sideload the NPK update that they said might fix the nook. So after laughing at their offer of an extra 10% off an ereader or the new Samsung, I decided to try changing to CM's Ovation. Have tried to follow Leapinlar's thread on installing CM and have tried 10.2,10.1 and a version of 11 along with another d/l of 10.2 from another poster.
I can boot from the SD card, but with really no currently working ROM, I need to use the install to internal version.
So I've used SD formatter on the SD card, copied over the files in order listed and then booted to the card.
Did a backup and restore, worked
did wipe data and factory reset
then install from sd card,
the system then gives me an error when installing the CM files:
Set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/CM XXXX (no matter which CM I pick)
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any idea as to how I can resolve this?
I'm at a loss and can't find resolution.:crying:
Thank you!!
What recovery exactly are you using to try and install CM? The one you boot from SD card? What version is it?
Some recoveries are too old to install CM11, for example. I suggest you install TWRP 2.7.1.0 as internal recovery on your Nook. You can download it here. Just put that TWRP zip file onto your bootable SD card, boot the HD+ and install the zip file. Then remove the SD card and format it, or use a different one that isn't bootable. Put the CM11 install zip file onto the card, insert it, and boot the internal recovery by holding the "N" button and powering up the tablet. Keep the N button pressed until the TWRP splash screen shows. If TWRP doesn't boot, then something went wrong. If it does boot, you can try and install CM11 with it.

Yes, as the prior user said, you are using the wrong version of CWM to install the CM zip. CM10.1 and CM10.2 need v6028 or v6036. CM11 needs v6046. You can get them from the dummies thread linked in my signature.

I have tried to follow the thread instructions and used what appeared to be matching installers, if I didn't, I did see error for not matching. I'll go and try above recovery. Got to probably get another sd card.

Tried all three of these in that order. none worked. I'll go try above and see if it will work.
