Hi guys,
This is my first time posting but I have lurked on the forum for a long time so I first want to thank all of you for all the great information that has helped me root my phones, my first nook, customs roms and all. You guys are amazingly smart and makes me wish I played a little less sports in school and studied a little more. So again, thank you for all the sharing of knowledge on this forum.
So to my problem. I have had a Nook for months, was running Cm7 and life was grand. It was on my dresser and my dog knocked it off and split the screen right down the middle. I went 2 days ago and purchased a new one. With the issues of the locked bootloader on the Nook Tablet I decided to stay with the Color that I had already grown to love.
I have been trying to root it but keep running in to problem after problem. I downloaded win32 and half the time when I try to put the CWR image on the SD I get error 8. I have found many ways on here to fix that but it still happens HALF the time. I am running it as admin and running the oldest version. The other half of the time it will look like it is burning to image and says it is done. But after it finishes my computer will not let me open the SD device to put the zip files on it. When I try it says that it must format the SD card to open it. Every time.
Also, just to check if everything is working right, after it says it has finished burning the image on the SD I have put it in the nook to make sure it boots in to CWR, it does not. It boots normal.
My nook is version 1.2.0, I use the correct file for my SD card size, I format it using Panasonic SD Formatter and I cross my fingers, click my heels 3 times and wish upon a star. Nothing is working.
I believe the issue is my computer. I am running 32bit Vista on an older computer. I believe last time I rooted my first nook I used the laptop, but that computer has since exploded in a ball of fire and is no longer available to me.
I'm stressed. I am at the point where I would be willing to pay for somebody to mail me a boot ready SD card.
Any advice is appreciated and thank you in advance.
I assume
+ you have 2 NC, one that been knocked off by your dog and one is new, v1.2.
+ you want to run CM7 off the uSD
am I right?
Correct. I have the broke one with a non working screen and the new one which is 1.2.0
I do not want to run Cm7 off the SD but install it to internal memory. I want to flash CM7 on it and for it to never know it used to be a nook.
Have you considered the possibility you have a bad sdcard on your hands? Thats what it sounds like to me, either that or a bad card reader.
Also try redownloading the image file and maybe pointing us to the link your using so we can verify its correct. I actually just mounted the usb once I was in CWM and transferred the zip files I needed over then.
I have considered that. I have used multiple SD cards, I am trying a different new one at this moment as well. It very well could be the card reader, if that is the case then I am in trouble because there is not much I can do about it.
Here is the version of Win32 I was using.
Trying that one now. Thank you.
Edit.
I downloaded the different win32 and it wrote the image right away. I then went to open the card to pull the zip files on it but again when I try to open it I am told that I need to format it before I can use the disk.
This is frustrating.
Once again though I want to say I am very appreciative of all the help.
Edit Edit:
I put the SDcard in to the nook just to see if it would load CWR from the SD and again it did not and simply booted as normal.
Are you running Win32 as Admin?

I am running it as admin. I learned that lesson the first time I rooted. I am pretty sure the issue is my computer. I've updated my drivers but I am nit sure why there is such an issue. The computer is more than 5 years old so there could be a number of issues.
At this point, I would be more than happy to pay somebody to send me an sd card and return it to them. I travel often for work and it is such a geeat tool for my business and I did not realize how hard my every day work would be without it.
Once I write the image file my computer will not let me open the disk to place the zip files. If I could get past that it would be ok, I just can not figure out why it keeps wanting to format the disk before it will let me open it after writing the CWR image file.
Yep the issue is the burning if the image. Make sure you use one of the USB ports on the back of your machine when burning the image. I've found that the ones in the front can cause issues depending on the machine used.
It sounds crazy, but try formatting the card in your Nook first. I think it might solve your problem.
Alright we got everything working now!
So I tried a few different sd cards. I would use the size of image for the size of SD card. 2gb and 8gb. I formatted the 8gb and used only the 1gb image and it worked no problems.
I had followed some instructions that ended up giving me the black screen of death when it would start to boot up. I reformatted and flashed 1.0.1 stock nook, then re-flashed CM7 and all is well now.
Thanks guys!

I was reading this thread [RECOVERY] Monster RootPack 0.7 / Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 SD (1.1 Compatible!). But, since I am new to this forum I couldn't post there. I hope this is the right place to ask for help.
I upgraded my NC to 1.1.0 successfully. I put Autonooter 3.0.0 on a MicroSD card. With my NC off, I inserted the card and then plugged the NC into my PC. I got a black screen for over 5 minutes. It looked like nothing was happening, so, I disconnected the NC, removed the SD card and tired to turn the NC on. No joy, it won't turn on and won't boot at all. I think my Nook is bricked. Any ideas what went wrong?
I've read some other threads about similar problems. It seems there is a fix to get it back to stock (1.1.0). I hope the Recovery thread I mentioned above is where the answer lies. But, I'm a bit confused and don't want to make any more mistakes. I only have one 4GB SD card at my disposal right now.
My questions are as follows:
1. Is my NC bricked beyond hope of recovery?
2. If I follow the procedures in this post can I get it to boot from the sd card even though it won't turn on at all?
3. What is the difference between the Rootpack and the Clockwork Recovery Image?
4. This is the confusing part. Should I download the RootPack? Or, should I download a bootable Clockwork SD card (128mb, 1gb, 2gb, 4gb, 8gb)
5. Since I only have a 4GB card, what should I choose?
6. Should I opt for 1.0.1, or 1.1.0 where it was still working.
7. Can I get all of this on one 4GB card?
8. Is there anything else I should be weary of before starting this procedure?
If i have posted this in the wrong place, I am sorry. But, I hope someone can clear things up for me. Thanks.
This is the right place to ask general questions.
1. Most certainly not.
2. Yes, using a bootable CWR SD is the way to go.
3. Totally different. The Rootpack is the name given to a package that helps you root your Nook. CWR image is a recovery image. That means you can boot to this recovery utility and apply changes to you NC (like repairing stuff, making backups, etc.).
4. An image will adapt to the drive. If you have a 4GB SD and burn (dd) a 1GB image to it, your SD will suddenly present itself as a 1GB SD. If you format it with the right tool, your SD will be 4GB again. So don't panick, if it says 1GB after burning, it's jut "adapted to the image". You haven't lost any disk space.
5. 1GB would be enough, but you can go up to 4GB image with a 4GB.. It could sometimes be a problem to apply an image which is the exact same size as the drive. I would use th 1GB, which is plenty for what you are going to do.
6. That's up to you. Both should work.
7. Yes.
8. Just read threads exhaustively before attempting anything..
So what you need to do is read threads about this CWR Bootable img to learn how to burn it to your SD.
Then, find the appropriate .zip files to flash (apply) (1.1 recovery and 1.0.1 are available in dev section.
Copy them to root of SD.
Boot with the SD Card and apply zip files from SD.
If your NC should still have problems booting, you can also apply a boot repair zip file, that you will find on my Nook Color restore to stock tread in dev..
Sam
His Rootpack wont work on 1.1.0 You should have seen that in his instructions. It will only block 1.1.0 and fake it. You need to see this thread to fix your nook. It is 100% NOT bricked, just messed up atm. You can fix it tho. Read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
Thanks for thr quick reponse Sam. I'm at work now, but will be able to use your suggestions later this afternoon\tonight. So, if I get a 1gb CWR image on my 4gb sd card, plus the 1.1.0 zip file and put it in the root of the sd card, the Nook should boot up even though I can't turn it on now? How long typacally will it take to boot up? What should I expect to see?
I will post results after I try the procedure. Thanks again!!
Thanks Thiboi69. I have printed out the instructions from the link you sent and will follow them to the T. I'll post results later.
It will work. I have never heard of a 100%bricked NookColor to date. And I have read 1,000's of posts here over the past 4 months. IT is just your boot partition that is messed up and B&N made it check the sdcard first for a Boot partition, then fall back to eMMC. Thank you B&N !!!
I downloaded all the files, wrote them to my sd card, and put it in the Nook. When I connected the Nook to my pc, I got a messaage the the battery was too low to turn on. So, I took the sd card out, and put the Nook on charge. After a while, it turned on, booted up and when I checked my OS, I found that I had
version 1.1.0. Apparently, my attempt to root with autonooter 3, never got installed, partially or completely. And, my battery probably got to low to turn the nook on. So, I didn't need to use CWR after all. I apologize to all who have tried to help me. But, all replies were good and contained useful info.
Now, my question is: Should I try to use Autonooter 3 again, or is there an easier
(more foolproof) way to root v1.1.0?
I just got a nook last night with the sole intention of hacking it - and did so in a matter of minutes. Autonooter couldnt be easier! When you get to the part of putting the SD card in the nook and connecting it to USB to make it boot, just plug it in and go get a cup of coffee. Don't unplug or touch anything until it boots up by itself. At 1st I thought it wasn't doing anything as I didn't see a clockwork mod screen come up or anything, but just be patient and it'll tell you when it's done. Just make sure it's pretty well charged when you do it - mine was about 80% or so.
Honestly after less than a day of the rooted stock 2.1 Eclair OS, I'm ready to drop a fully customized Froyo or Gingerbread image on this thing. Autonooter it 1st and run it for a few days 1st and see what you think. I'm still learning the ins and outs of tinkering with this thing, but so far it seems much easier than the Epic and Moment I've been beating on. Seems pretty well unbrickable too thanks to the boot to SD 1st option B&N baked into this puppy.

Joe, I would recommend downloading the 1gb rootpack image and a restore to stock file. Make your bootable clockwork recovery image, place the resotre to stock file on the sdcard, turn your nook off, insert the sdcard, power on and flash the file. All this info and more can be found in my thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
Thanks for your suggestion Riley, please take a look at my post # 7 above. Seemd my NC
had a low battery. When I charged it, all was ok. It booted up and I was back in 1.1.0.
But, I just now tried autonooter 3.0.0 again. When I pluged thr NC inyo my PC, I got some sort or warning message. I hit cancel and waited a few minutes. The message came up again. It said the device was not recognized. I unplugged, removed the card, and my fully charged NV won't turn on. And, windows explorer can not read the sd card. This is basically what happened yesterday to cause my panic. The sd card had all the files befor I inserted it into the NC. Now, it's unreadable and I can't turn on or boot the NC again.
Is it autonooter 3.0.0, or the card, or the Nook, or me?????
One correction to post # 10. I can read the sd card in windows explorer. But my NC won't turn on.
With sd card out of the Nook, I get a "Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizzard"
What does this tell anyone about the condition of my Nook?
I am having a problem and don't really know what to do. When I start my NC its stops at the N screen and goes no further. I've tried a lot of the different ways to get it back to stock with no luck. When I try to write CWM to my SD card with win32 it either doesn't have enough room to put the stock file on the zip with it or when I open the SD card it says the card needs to be formatted. The file is a tr.gz or something like that is there a step between that I am missing or just download the CWM and write to SD using win32? I also tried adb with no luck. I am very new to rooting so any super dumbed down instructions would be greatly appreciated.

You can put the rom image to a separate SD card. Just swap it after you boot up from cwr. I did it before for flashing froyo to emmc.

Have you followed the restore-to-stock procedure outlined in this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
Just a noobish advise!
After configure everything and become accustomed to some of the NC behaviors this should not matter, but I remember at my first attempts at rooting the NC, using a Win7 PC was much easier than using Win XP or iOS devices. Might fix your 'not recognized' problems, sd card recognition and formatting problems etc.
It has CWM on it. I can get it to recovery but it will not recognize the SD or not mount it and I go to mount it in the menu and it says something like can not mount SD card so I have been trying to do the CWM SD burn but I keep getting the above errors I am on a vista computer so I will try it on my windows 7 one and see how that goes. And the different SD card one I will try that as well after work thank you for the help.

Yes I did try that one I put the nookie froyo on the SD and put it I'm my turned off NC and plugged it in to my computer and it sat at the N screen forever and after a while I took it off and it was still in the same state could the CWM be the problem?

Basically I had been running phiremod v2, used the bootable CWM found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959240 to format the SD card I had in the machine, removed it, and on reboot - nothing. No power, no screen, no nothing. Not even a bootable SD will run.
In each of the other threads I've seen with similar symptoms, the result is almost always that someone gets an SD card to boot - I can't seem to do that.
Am I just missing a painfully obvious solution, or should I get this puppy returned (brand new)?
I've basically given up for the night, but I'm bummed that two days in and I've got nothing.

Have you reburned your SD card? maybe its corrupted.
Also try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
*** O yeah and please use the Newest CWR 3.0.1.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971197
You did not brick it.
The Nook is 99.99% non-brickable because it is set to boot from the SD card over the internal memory. I know I did this sunday night. What you have to do is get gb_clockwork-0.1-ext4.tar and Winimage and make a bootable sc card and this will alway you to get into clockworkmod and then you can flash a new rom. Just do a search for gb_clockwork-0.1-ext4.tar and there are sites that will give you step by step direct on how to do this. Good luck.

Thanks duder - just saw the other three or so threads that popped with this and realized instantly how often everyone here must deal with the question.
I'm sure it's irritating, but thanks just the same. Going to give it a shot tomorrow, right now the only SD card I have isn't recognized by either my computer (Mac) or my Nook (tried the long hold N+power force boot).
Hopefully I can make it work then.

Wow your SD card isn't seen by your Mac.... That is one screwed up SD card, You might try to Reboot the Computer to see if maybe it will see it on a fresh start.

Yeah - it's not seen by anything. Well, looks like there goes an 8gb SD card, down the drain.
As per subject, mine is sitting there displaying the Cyanogen loading... and never move on, was that something to do with the sd card I used?
I have a 4g generic brand with the latest nightly build.
All helps are a.ppriatede
TIA.
It depends on a few factors
a. Very first time when it compiling the entire new Dalvik cache, this takes quite a while
b. I personally feel booting from eMMC is faster than doing so from uSD card.
c. Image dependance. Normally it took 1+ minutes to get to the lock-in screen but the nb153 seems to be twice faster.
Hi vifinh,
Thanks for the prompt response.
How long is the "quite a while", maybe I was not patient enough?
I have never had a new install of a rom take more than 1.5 minutes to boot (using cm7) as was mentioned, the first boot takes a bit longer (30-45 seconds longer) but if you are seeeing longer than 2+ minutes, there is a problem with the install.

CM7 nightly 150 introduces fast boot. Mine is boot up within 1 minute which is faster it was before.

..in which case you should use adb logcat to figure out what's wrong. Usually a factory wipe will fix whatever issues you're having tho.
Thanks guys.
Mine was sitting there for over a half-hour with no movement, so there is something wrong here.
Sandisk class 4 (8 and 16g) has become the accepted standard here for SD based CM7.
If you read the verygreen install instructions, it contains a link to a thread that stresses how random block write speed is the most important factor on having a stable and fast sd CM7 system for the NC.
Replacing that generic SD is the first thing I would suggest doing.

1/2 hour was dead wrong.
5+ mins was something wrong.
Force power off then turn it back on again and see if it's better, if not, redo the clean installation.
Thanks to all the responses, I really appreicated them.
Before I gave up on my generic sd card , here was what I did:
(1) Used win32diskimager to write 4gb_clockwork-3.0.2.8.img to the card, removed and reinsert the card back to the PC,
(2) Unzipped the CM7 nightly build (I used the cm_encore_full-139 uild), then wrote its contents (META and system folders, plus all the remaining files) to the root of the card.
Plugged the card into my NC, and thiat was what I got.
Did I miss anything in between?
TIA.

Based on what you described, yes, you have messed it up real bad but don't worry, here's the fix
(2) DO NOT unzip the CM7 nightly image, leave it intact, leave it as how it looks when you downloaded. Just out of my curiosity, why do you unzip and modify what inside? whose instructions you follow?
(1) "removed and reinsert the card back to the PC". You remove the uSD from what? Note: you use the PC (windows) to create the bootable uSD and then copy the CM7 nightly build over the root folder of the card.

Thanks!
(2) I thought that was the natural thing to do, lol.
(1) Immediately after the image file copy, the SD was not accessible to me, every time I tried to copy file (e.g. the zip file), the message that say something likes "Do you want to format the device?" would pop up. So I need to take the card out of the usb port and reinserted it, then the message disappear.
I would try your remedy and I am sure it would work this time.
Again, thanks!
Mine is now up and running, thanks votinh.
Glad to hear that!
Enjoy CM7, m8
I just wrote Honeycomb 04.img to my 32Gb SDHC card and put it in my Nook Color. It starts to boot successfully until it gets to the "android_" screen, then just hangs forever. Is using a 32gb card OK? I partitioned it using MiniTools Partition manager, but it only allowed me to set up the first part which I designated as 5gb. The rest of the unallocated space it refused to deal with even though it correctly saw the size. I can't see how that might affect the NC from reading the boot part, but I thought it worth checking with you guys. Or is it more likely that a file was not written correctly, and I should do it all over again? Has anyone had the same problem that could give me some advice? Thanks in advance.
My $0.02: don't use honeycomb. It is buggy, has tons of missing drivers and, many compatibility issues. Safe yourself headaches and use CM7.

If this post helped you don't forget to say thanks!
1. What brand of uSD you have?
2. Re-create the bootable uSD again.
Get it to boot first.
No need to use MiniTool or the a-like now, no need to worry about left-over space for now.
Its an unbranded SD, but all seems OK. Unfortunately my computer is 6 yrs old and doesn't recognize more than 4gb or SDHC cards, so I have to up and drive to a friend's house to do any operations on it. But I will try to reformat it and forget about wasted space for now. If it does eventually work, can I use MiniTools to create a partition that the Nook will be able to use as storage? Thanks for your help.
Theoretically, you don't have to use MiniTools, it should be ready for you to use, at least for CM7. My last try of HC was months ago and I still do believe that I am right on this.
Let's get yours up and running first.
Wish I could post this to the "Size agnostic SD Boot" thread, but as a Noob, I can't.
Have: New NC, had 1.2, updated to 1.3. Created bootable CM7.1 stable card on a new Sandisk 4GB, Class 4 card as per instructions in that thread. All seemed to go well. Upon start up, I see my new Android home page. After several seconds, I get an error: "Sorry! Process system is not responding". Gives me a choice between "Force Close", and "Wait". Choosing either seems to not make a difference. I have no WiFi connection, and going to settings I can't seem to enable it. After about 3 minutes, it freezes. But before so, I can interact with my new (impressive!) system.
Tried:
1. Numerous reboots.
2. Re-flash SD card. Three times. No good.
3. Went from 7.1 stable to latest Nightly.
Symptoms are always the same, right down to the time it takes to freeze.
If I don't interact with it after boot, the screen goes blank, but I detect a slight background light - is this perhaps the SOD problem?
Ideas?
What brand is your SD card?

I've read a bit about a Wifi driver patch, but I can't get the NC to run long enough to try and patch it in.
I recently bought a refurb Nook and install CM 7.1 Stable on a Sandisk Class 4 8gb card without issue. I'm actually shocked at how well it runs.
Maybe you got a bad card?
I'm sure somewhere you might find a utility to see if the card has issues? Check the SANDISK website.
Installing CM7 on the 4GB card was a temporary move, as I just had to try it. I have a 16GB card that should show up today. So, given that....
I installed CWM on the 4GB card, and it seems to work fine. However, I doubt that CWM "stresses" the card to the extent that running full Android would.
Keeping fingers crossed that a different card may work.

I am using a 4gb class 2 Sandisk card and it works great. I have 8gb class 6 Transcend cards and they are not as good. I get force closes using them with certain apps.
Update: New SD card - *exactly* the same symptoms. Same error immediately after Home screen loads: "Sorry! Process system is not responding", and then it freezes solid in about 3 minutes regardless what I'm doing. And no Wifi.
Just as before.......
Try downloading the images again and start over.
"Try downloading the images again and start over. "
Well, in effect I did. I tried a couple of different versions of CM7. Also tried redoing the .img loader/boot file.
In every case, I get exactly the same symptoms.

Did you ever download the SASD image file again?
Also... since you don't specify... did you download the 1.3 image and not the 1.2 or the update?

Yes, tried once to download the .img file. I'm reasonably sure it's 1.3, as that is in the file name. It took FOREVER to decompress - like an hour. Used gzip for the heavy lifting.
Just curious.... Would an even slightly corrupt .img loader file even work? I mean, it seems that it's job is to load CM7, and then after that is done, the rest is up to CM7. Is it possible that a bad .img file would basically work, but load a slightly corrupted CM7?
Don't know if it's an issue with the Nook itself. Has been running B&N 1.3 super stable, and for the last couple of days (with ~8 hours/day), I've been on a ManualNootered 1.3 with no problems or instabilities whatsoever. Did the MN install (as well as a bootable CWM) with the same SD, USB adapter, and PC with no problems.
Really scratching my head over this one.
Thanks.
Use this search on Google....there is some interesting stuff out there. One guy tracked it down to being an ALARM set on his clock.
Search google with this :

This is the part that gets me. I've made a few of these cards and all I ever did was unzip the image file with winzip and write the image to an sdcard with winimage. The unzipping process only took a few seconds.

Something wrong with that I just tested how long it takes to take the generic-sdcard-v1.1.img.gz file and decompress it to generic-sdcard.img and it took 15 seconds
What are you using I am using winrar 3.41 and my PC is like about 4 years old so not a fast processor.
Download winrar trial and start again
Again, I appreciate all the help. Here is what I've done:
1. Read a bunch of the stuff from the suggested Google search. (doh! - should have done this first). There is little Nook specific, but it seems that some apps on some devices seem to be the guilty culprit. I had only loaded 2 apps (Tweek and Priceline) on my NC before trying CM7.1, so if it is an app, it would have to be one of those, as the rest of the apps are pre-installed B&N, which (I assume...) the rest of you have. (Note: being new to all this, I'm surprised that their is no obvious way to uninstall an app. Seems I remember some sort of app manager on Market. I'll look.)
1a. There are several reports of alarms being set on alarm clock apps causing problems. On my fresh CM7.1 install, the clock did indeed have 2 alarms set. I deleted them and rebooted. No good.
2. Since there is a possibility of this being app related, I cleared the caches from CWM. Reinstall. It appears that this is a moot point, because I noticed in the install routine that it says "clearing caches". Oh well.
3. Got fresh copy of 1.3 .img file, and installed WinRAR. The unzip was a lot faster, but still not super speedy - about 1 minute (1GHz PC, WinXP)
4. Redid the SD chip again with my fresh files. Getting good at this. Win32Imager, safe remove, reinsert, copy CM7.zip, save remove, boot in NC.
5. No good. "Sorry! Process system is not responding". I've heard conflicting info whether "Wait" or "F/C" is better, but it doesn't seem to matter in my case.
So, short version: Tried new SD, new file downloads, new unzip utility. Meanwhile, over in eMMC land, rooted B&N 1.3 is cruising along just fine, with no errors or crashes.
Sure would like to try CM7, though.
At this point the only thing I can think of is that the sd card boot is conflicting with your rooted emmc. I've only created cm7 cards for stock nooks and never ran into any problems.

Well, as I mentioned earlier, I did most of this messing around before rooting 1.3. I only applied ManualNooter after it was becoming clear that CM7 might be a long drawn out process. I was needing Market access. FWIW, the boot manager that you can boot into from the card (enabling selection of SD or eMMC) has been working with both 1.3 and rooted 1.3 - which I suppose it should. I mean, nothing got broke in that department.
Anyway, I really appreciate the comments.
Just a thought ----
Is the v1.3.img file shown in the original procedure compatible with B&N 1.3 and blue dot partitioning? Or does it even matter? I'm guessing that it shouldn't matter, as CM7 is supposed to be running from SD, but perhaps the partition sizes on the SD are mimicked from eMMC, and incompatible?
Boy, I'm really grasping at straws here.......
Ok last one, did you try formatting the sdcard?

Yes, no, kinda, and sorta. The various cards that I used were new. So I basically assumed they had a fresh 'virgin' chip that would tolarate most anything. Again, assume. However, burning an .img file I think would render a format moot. Don't know that, just making another assumption.
