[Q] ROM manager to O2X ?

@Moderator - Move this to Themes and Apps - Thought I posted it correct but not.
Hi all,
I've downloaded ROM Manager to my O2X - but when I try to search for new ROM's then it says that I need to install CWM via ROM Manager and then I press "Yes" and then a dropmeny comes up and there are 2 different phone-models to choose from.....none of them are O2X.
I read at CM's forum that it would be good to have it, then we will get notify asap when CM7 is realesed to our phone...
If you know what I'm doing wrong, plz help then !
Thanks in advance!

There should be 4 options when u select Flash clockwork recovery from ROM Manager. The last option is "LG Optimus 2X".

Latest ROM Manager:

ClockermodRecovery is probably the best option, at least for me :=)

I installed Clockworkmod recovery 3.0.1.4 over PC because at these times ROM Manager didn't worked, now I installed ROM Manager v4.2.0.2 from market and it says that there is a new ClockworkMod Recovery availible (3.0.2.8) so I wanted to installed it, but it says: failure while installing!
Same when I try to install older version (3.0.2.7)!
I still can get into the recovery mode, so it didn't mess anything up...
It never asked for root permission when I'm choosing Install ClockworkMod, only at Reboot in Recovery-mode, is that normal?
What can I do to get the new version of ClockworkMod Recovery???
Thanks

It should ask for root permissions when it tries to flash the new recovery.

Ok, thanks solved it, it was because of my problems with the baseband 0405 :/...

I have install the last Rom Manger version but have problems with recovery and the "format sd card" option.
I made a backup from Rom Manger and this was ok but when i want to restore the backup i cant choose the backup. The screen was black.
Is this a problem with the internal SD card? The backup was made on the ext. SD card but i cant choose it, only from recovery menue (power button and
loud down).
Other problem, the format SD Card option doesnt work for me.

The problem is ROM Manager uses the internal SD card and CMR uses the external one. To restore your backup boot to recovery yourself rather than using ROM Mangers restore/manage option.

[Q] Problem with rooted Nook and ROM Manager

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?

Since I'm a new user and apparently can't post links, I followed the instructions on the Cyanogenmod site's wiki.

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!

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.

[Q] Updating to the latest nightly on CM7 SD installation?

So I'm booting from a SD card into CM7 7.0.2 currently. I'm using a custom boot file so I can choose to hold down the home screen button if I want to boot into the stock 1.2 OS instead.
I only have this single 2gb SD card to use atm. What would be the proper process to update to the nightly 69 build from here? I need to make sure that when I update, my current SD card is in there and that's where the install is saved to. I had an issue prior where I booted with an alternate SD card (which I no longer have) and it installed to the eMMC. That wasn't fun as I had to do a complete restore.
Thanks!

I am booting from an SD card.
To update, I put the uSD card in the PC and then just copy the new build zip file to the uSD card.
Then I put the card in the Nook, press the N + power button and when I see the "Touch the Future of Reading", count to 4 and release the buttons. Don't count to slow. I noticed one time the TTFOR disappeared and it booted into the Nook software. I just shut it down and did it again.
The Nook will automatically see the new zip file, expand it and load the new build. Once done, it will delete the zip file from the uSD card.
I noticed the newer builds automatically reboot the unit but if yours doesn't, it will stop at "Flushing Cache" and sit there. Leave it alone until the screen goes dark (a couple of minutes) and then reboot it (N + power button). You should get the Android. and about a minute later the CM7 spinning logo.
You are updated. And you don't lose any apps or data either!
If you are overclocking, I would set it back to 800MHz before you do this as a precaution.
Finally, there is an easy way to add overclocking to a new build. You just need the overclock zip file, the new build and WinRAR 3.80. Let me know if you want that info.

Well that worked as you said, thanks! I did have one problem but I fixed it myself. As I mentioned, I have a modified boot file which loads the Nook OS if I hold the N button. So trying to get into recovery or have the CM7 noticed the .zip file by holding Power+N didn't work. Luckily I still had the original u-boot.bin file and was able to copy it back onto the SD card and then I was able to get the update installed.
As to the OC, I assume I'd just put it back on the same way I did with the original.

I've read your post, and a few others but I'm either not understanding (my money is on this one!!!!) or missing a step.
I'm running Nook Color Stock 1.2 on emmc and CM 7 on the SD card.
I've tried using ROM Manager as well as copying the latest nightly to the /boot partition of the SD card.
If I boot into recovery and update the zip from the SD, I always end up over-writing the emmc of the nook, losing stock and all my apps, instead of the CD card being updated.
What am I doing wrong?? Would like to upgrade to the latest nightly. But I don't want to screw up stock (hate having to restore and redownload all the apps every time).
Thanks
No matter what I do, I always end up over-writing the emmc instead of updated the SD card.

All you have to do is put the update zip on the boot part' of the sd card and boot up the sd install like normal and it'll see the zip and automatically flash it for you.

You are probably using the install zip option. You do not do this. You just put the zip on the boot partition, boot into recovery and the reboot. DO NOT flash anything.
Sent from my LG Optimus V using Tapatalk

Let me try to clarify... when they are saying boot into recovery... they aren NOT meaning Clockwork Recovery... they mean using the boot menu (press "n" button when you see the Cyaonogen logo) and selectin boot from SD card and Recovery. That is the SASD rocovery (install) mode and will install the update zip file from the root of the boot partition.

Thanks for clarifying DizzyDen!!! That's the part that I was screwing up
Like I just screwed up the Stock again...but that's alright...live and learn
Updating the latest right now...then I'll be putting stock back on emmc
Thanks again for the clarification

Updating to the latest nightly on CM7 SD installation?
I'm a newbie so please have some patience. I'm trying to do the same thing, update my cm_encore_full-159.zip to cm_encore_full-177.zip. I boot from a microsd card to Android. When I install it I pushed a button during the early boot process and went to a menu. Changed "boot device" from "emmc" to "SD" and "Normal" to "Alternative". When I turn on the Nook Color after it installs, I do nothing and it boots to Android but if I put a button it goes to the menu where I push the volume down button 3 times and I boot to the stock Nook Color. So, if I copy the cm_encore_full-177.zip to my microsd card, go to the menu, change the "emmc" to "SD" and "Normal" to "Alternative, this should update my 159 to 177 without losing any apps, email, etc.? Thanks

1. in bold text above... select "Recovery" not Alternative...
2. you either move the SD to your computer to put the update on the boot partition of the SD or you have to mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 to a directory (I created /sdcard/boot for this) and push the update to the BOOT partition.

Nook Color How to Update to CM7 Nighthly
Good Day,
What a fantastic website! I am new to the forum. Could you please answer the questions or provide a link to the answers?
1. What utility and procedure would I follow to back up the stock Nook Color partitions in ROM to include the stock Nook Color apps I have installed?
2. What utility and procedure would I follow to back up the apps I have purchased from the Android Market place for CM7 running off the SD card?
3. I have update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip installed. I want to update to cm_encore_full-177.zip. Do I use win32image to "burn" the new nightly to the SD card? Or, do I drag and drop the new
nightly to the SD card? If yes, on which directory (folder) on the SD card do I place the new nightly build?
Thank you!
atl10spro

Try my best to help.
1. I don't deal with stock, so can't help here.
2. I never intend to run any backup when booting off uSD, can't help.
3. Assuming you're booting off uSD, then just copy the new .zip file (do not rename, do not unzip) into the boot partition (root folder) of the card. Insert it into the NC, boot it into Recovery. When it's in recovery mode, it'll fully automatically do the update then deletes the .zip file, you don't have to do anything, just wait until it shuts itself down then you power it up.

I am running the following - CM7 - nightly build 08022011 on SD - Dalingrin's OC kernel 2.6.32.9 @ 1200MHz NOOKcolor
I am trying to update to a newer nightly build. I have the file downloaded on the SD card but can't get it to update.
Where does the file have to go?
I tried to reboot into recovery mode and that didn't do anything.
Any help would be great.

[Q] CM7.1 on SD...CWM on eMMC...wanna update to 1.3

Well from following some instructions on here for running CM7 off an sd card I ended up installing CWM that I did not know would go to the eMMC. So I have stock nook 1.2 software and CWM on the eMMC (by mistake), and CM7.1 on SD. I want to remove CWM off the eMMC so I can update to 1.3 and to unvoid my 2 year extended warranty. I have read through threads about returning to stock, but I haven't seen anyone with my same problem using those methods to confirm if it would work in this situation. Everyone seems to have been running some kind of root on eMMC and want to keep cwm. Also with my CM7.1 sd card out I can't get into cwm even though its on the eMMC and I have tried many ways. Do I need to have an update file on an sd card in order to get cwm to run?

Might want to post to the thread for the SD card install.

Use the second file in the first post of the link below. It will restore 1.2 stock and remove CWM from the eMMC. You will have to re-register your Nook.

Actually if you have a separate bootable CWM microSD card (3.2.0.1 should be fine as 416 said) the Nook will default to booting from the SD card when you power on. No need to hold the N button. If the update file (zip format) I pointed to is on the SD card then you can pick it and install from the CWM menu that will come up. (I would make a backup of your current state onto the bootable CWM SD card first and copy the files to your PC just in case.)

EDIT* Ok guys here is my problem now. For the life of me it would not boot into recovery, so I tricked it by trying to install the 1.3 update which goes in CWM but fails. Once in the CwM menu after 1.3 failing I mounted the sd card and tried installing the zip that was on it. When trying to install it says installation failed and something else about verification failed similar to the 1.3 failed. Any help guys?
Would my next option be to create a CWM bootable SD? Anyone have the appropriate link?

Hrm.. seems like that may be beyond my paygrade...
Just to clarify (and sorry I can't be more specific as I just removed CWM, so I can't repeat my steps), when I did it:
1. I downloaded the aforementioned zip onto a spare sd.
2. I booted into CWM (it seems like your trick should be fine, after it gets you back to the main menu).
3. I selected "choose zip from SD" or something like that.
4. I selected choose zip from sd again (ignoring the "update.zip" option).
5. It did it's thing.
6. I selected back several times, to get main menu again.
7. I selected "factory reset" (wipe data & cache)
8. It did it's thing.
9. Reboot and I was good to go.
If that doesn't work, this thread has the instructions on taking it back to stock by creating a CWM card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720
Hope it helps.

This is what I did
1. placed the zip file on a sd card
2. insert into the nook
3. power on
4. cant boot into recovery so placed the 1.3 update on emmc to fool it into going into recovery
5. 1.3 update failed but just used it to get into recovery
6. mounted sd card
7. select install zip from sd card
8. chose the file from sd card
9. yes install file from sd card
10. did not get a progress bar like the 1.3 update b4 failing
11. install failed...verification error (similar to 1.3 update error)
The problem with the thread you linked is that its using CWM 3.0.0.5 when the thread about restoring NC 1.2 says it need at least CWM 3.0.1.0

Hrmm... maybe the zip is a bad file? Have you tried downloading it again?
Beyond that, someone with more expertise may need to chime in.
Sorry about the out-of-date thread. It's just the one I bookmarked after I realized I had accidentally installed CWM to my emmc instead of my SD. I never got around to it; dtbrewer's post today seemed like an easier fix.

I got it guys. I used this site to make a bootable sd...http://mrm3.net/nook-color-updated-clockwork-recovery-bootable-sd/
Wrote the image to the sd installed the zip file and now I'm updated to 1.3 on the stock software and my 2 year extended warranty isn't voided anymore. THANKS GUYS!

Posted this in another thread, but thought I'd ask here as well. If you follow the fix listed in this thread, can you use the dual boot sd card and still have B&N 1.3? Or does updating to 1.3 mean you can no longer use the dual boot sd card. What I'd ideally like to have is dual boot from SD, but when I choose to boot to emmc, it will run the 1.3 B&N firmware. Is that even possible?

[Solved] Installing recovery?

After some finagling around with a hybrid install of CM10.1 on my HD+, I've now installed the Carbon rom to EMMC. My main memory card is a 32GB microSD card and I've got a bootable CWM setup on a spare 64MB microSD card.
Switching back and forth just to get into CWM recovery is getting annoying, and I've noticed that in the power button menu on the Carbon rom, there's an option to reboot straight into recovery but it doesn't work. It simply takes me to some error graphic that says "install failed" and that I should power the device off and back on. I've tried to install CWM via Rom Manager and TWRP via the GooManager app, but both tell me it couldn't find a proper recovery for my device and won't install. Rom Manager is quite odd, it says it's detected that both TWRP and CWM are installed. Is there a way to install recovery onto the Nook HD+ so I don't have to keep switching microSD cards? I've looked around the forums and found this:

but that appears to only be for verygreen's CM10.1. Trying to install that via the bootable CWM microSD card fails.

That boot to recovery is booting to stock recovery and that is what is giving you that error message.
And do not use ROM Manager, it will mess up you device. And GooManager does not support this device.
Verygreen's CWM should work fine on your Carbon ROM. That link pointed to his TWRP recovery and he may have put an assert statement to only flash on his ROM (what was the error message?). Try his CWM and see if it flashes. It should install and work fine.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.

Oh boy do I feel stupid. I guess I was lacking sleep - I had downloaded the wrong TWRP filesin verygreen's post. Instead of using the flashable zip (twrp-recovery-ovation-3.zip) I accidentally tried to use the other file he linked to (ovation-sdcard-twrp-files.zip). The filenames not being very descriptive didn't stop me from going ahead and wondering what the hell wasn't working.
All's well, TWRP loads fine and the reboot to recovery option in the power menu works as well.
