Nook Color Only boots into clockwork recovery

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.

[Q] OK Help, A2SD broke and nand restore won't work!

Hi Guys
I always tell myself not to fiddle with my phone at the weekend, but I simply can't stop myself. Anyway I saw that some of the ROM Chefs had come up with some 2.3.3 OTA ROMs so I flashed one. Not a problem there, but A2SD was not appearing, so I ran the DT script again. Still nothing.
I tried restoring to my known good recent Nand backup, and got a bootloop?!?
So what I'm really asking is how on earth can I get my 1GB partition back for DT A2SD on the new Gingerbread (Geo) Rom, or why won't my restore work? (Again it might be to do with the fact it can't find the sd-ext to restore to?)
Any help appreciated as I'm not going to spend half a day fiddling again!
Thanks

What recovery are you using? I had the same problem a little while back when I tried flashing a CM7 rom...turned out it was an issue with CWM 3.0.0.5 I had to completely format and repartition my SD card, then go back to a backup that was on my PC before I could get it to work. I know use AmonRA and have no further issues.

I too an using the latest Clockwork recovery - will use Amon-Ra from now on methinks. Unfortunately "somebody" deleted the latest Nandbackup so I'll have to start from scratch!

Also keep in mind that any backups made with CWM cannot be restored using AmonRA...which sucks. I restored to a previous version of 2.2 with CWM after formatting and partitioning my SD card, downgraded to CWM 2.5.1.4, restored to a previous known good backup of a rom I usually use, then after everything was back to normal used ROM manager to flash AmonRA 2.2.1 Once all of that BS was done then I made a new Nand Backup with Amon and now I am good to go. I don't know if I'll use CWM again after going through all that BS...

Rooted Stock boot loop

Hi all,
I have run into one issue on my nook. I have had it for a while and followed all the directions for root and it was running perfect. One day it rebooted and would nver start back up. It gets stuck in the Nook Color Devs Boot Loop where it says Nook, then color in a rainbow scheme. I attempted to reload the factory image, ran the first manual nooter and logged into gmail, etc. Then I ran the second nooter and now I am stuck in a boot loop again. Is there anyway to solve this?
A factory reset appears to help but as soon as I root, the same thing happens. I have attempted to search but couldn't find anything else.
I also found out that if I clear dalvik and cache then it won't go immediately to the boot loop. It attempts to load but i am not sure what to do.
Thanks all.

You may want to specify which version of Stock you're reloading. I don't know for sure, but there may be some different procedures if you're on 1.3... But I don't know, just a tip for people to give you more specific help.

Thank you. This has happened to me on both the1.2 and 1.3 stock rom. It actually just shut off one day and then started doing this.

I'm not very familiar with the stock rom. I got rid of it within like 10 minutes of getting my nook, turning it into a tablet was my whole reason for buying one.
I didn't think there was more than one root script that you had to run though. At least not for 1.2, I dunno about 1.3 though.
Perhaps something there's messing it up?
Personally, I would suggest following one of the threads about restoring to stock... step by step and see if that helps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13198961#post13198961
Basically... just make a bootable cwm card. Make a backup of what you have atm. Copy the zip you download from that thread to your card. Boot your cwm card and goto mounts and storage, and format: /system, /data, /cache, and I would do /boot just in case. Normally, you shouldn't format boot... but just in case something there is causing you a problem it might be best. I know the stock rom restores the boot files anyway. Then just go to (sorry if the wording here isn't right, I don't have my nook in front of me) install zip from card, then select zip, and choose the 1.2 zip you put on the card. It should take like 5-10 mins to flash... remove the bootable sdcard, and choose reboot now. This should get you back to 100% stock 1.2, then you can retry rooting it... I think 1.2 needs the manual nooter script. You shouldn't have to run anything more than once to root it though, unless you upgrade after that to 1.3.

I had the same problem after getting the 1.3 update and re-rooting. The problem was adobe flash 10.3. I ran flashplayer_fix.zip from GMPOWER's post on this page (sorry don't know how to link the post) and it fixed the problem.

Nexus one repetitive restarts

Hi,
everything was fine until I have performed a restart to my nexus one CM7 and then repetitive restarts started taking place. nothing recent has been done except the regular updates.
I have booted into CWM in order to restore from a previous backup but unfortunately when i enter all the options of the CWM i get a black page with the ROM manager logo.
could you please help me out on how to restore my phone, or at least how to flash a new ROM from zero via ADB or so
Thanks,

There are many ways but you really can't flash a rom easily with ADB. Read the tutorials if you need to learn how to flash a rom. But you should be fine if you just wipe and flash whatever rom you want.

Please look at Nexus One Wiki, section "Unroot/restore", PASSIMG method.

Sounds like a corrupted sd card maybe. Do you have EXT partition? try format the sd card, new sd card or even try booting without an sd card to see what happen.
Had this happened once when i was on CWM, my EXT got corrupted and it was endless bootloop. Format my sd card, use Amon Ra to partition to Ext4 again and all was good.

[Q] Brick GT-i9000, Can't flash rom using CWM

Hi all,
I've searched most forums and google and nothing found that I can use to revive my GT-I9000.
For background, I just rooted my galaxy using
* SuperOneClick and install TB, etc
* Install CWM by using CF-Root (I prev. have Android System Recovery (3e) and so need to follow addictivetips how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000)
* Take Nandroid backup of original firmware
* Flashed CM7 and CM9 back and forth with no issue.
My problem started when I thought I could just use the nandroid backup of original firmware and remove the bloatware, because CM9 is not on stable version yet.
The nandroid backup can’t boot up, so I goto recovery mode and try to reflash CM7 and CM9. The CWM from CF-Root can’t mount the SD card anymore, thus can’t flash the ROM.
I flash the “hardcore-speedmod.tar” from Full_Update_Guide using ODIN and got to the CWM 2.5.1.0 and can see the SD card, but when I try to flash CM7 or CM9, it says “assert failed: getprop (“ro.product.device”) == “galaxys” and a whole bunch of getprop with Status 7 and installation aborted at the end.
This is the same CM7 and CM9 that I used many times before and still in my internal SD card.
I've tried wipe data and cache but doesn't work. Going to Download mode or Recovery mode is not and issue though
I could try restore all from the nandroid backup but it says be carefull, so i hesitate as not want to make it worse. This nandroid backup is also created from diffrerent recovery (created using 3e and now CWM 2.5.1.0 that's running) - Update: took my chance but didn't work as can't mount
I’m not sure how I can copy other files into the internal SD card as well (in Windows).
I’m at my wits end and have search a lot and tried many things.
Please help
Cheers.
John

Try flashing some older stock android version over ODIN first, than root etc all over again. I had a similar problem just weeks ago and it did work for me, after screwing with it for 3 hours... Will search for some links and post them here, if I find them..

Go look in ask me anything I have the answer, there's a basic guide to save your phone, I have used it a few times and I have saved my phone from the situation u are in.
If you like my posts hit thanks

Last post before I go to sleep with a smile on my face.
For those who might have the same problem, below is what I did.
Did the "[ROM][ODIN]noobfriendly stock jvt firmware (root included)" thread to the T and works the 2nd time. 1st try almost killed the phone with BSOD appearring though.
Thanks for the tip jerdms.
IT'S ALIVEEEE.
