My situation is this: I went through all the instructions to flash Cyanogen to my NC and started out with the 7.1 stable build. Then later I flashed again, this time to 7.2. Everything is working fine. But I'm just finding that there are little quirks to the Nook Reader for Android that make me like the stock Nook Color better. So I decided to follow the instructions to flash back to stock.
However, when I booted into CWM from my sd card, I get the menu and can scroll around in it. But none of the menu options actually work. When I select an option all I get is the black hat with the circular orange arrow icon and nothing happens. I can't get to the menu where I'm supposed to wipe data etc. The backup function doesn't work either. the So I booted back into Cyanogen then used rom manager to tell it to reboot into recovery. Same result as booting from the SD card. I can get to the menu but nothing actually works. Back in CM7.2 again I used the option in ROM manager to back up the existing ROM. It rebooted into CWM and did the backup successfully, even though backup doesn't work if I try to do it directly from CWM.
Everything still works fine from CM7.2. It just seems to be CWM that's flaky whether I boot it from the device itself or from the SD card. Sending CWM a command from inside ROM manager does work. I've tried both backups and flashing a new CM7 version from there and it works.
Is it possible to get around this by using the install update from sd functionality in ROM manager to re-flash the B&N 1.4.1 ROM?
Are you using the “n” key to select the options in CWM? The black hat with the orange arrow comes up if you are pressing the power button to try to select an option
Yes, you can flash the 1.4.1 ROM from ROM Manager, just download the file from HERE so that it will keep CWM

D'oh.....ok, I didn't know that. But I could swear I used the power button when I was originally flashing CM7. But, if I can just do it from ROM manager, that's easier anyway.
Thanks!
Edit. Question: Is there anywhere else those files can be downloaded? Firefox was telling me the download time was predicted to be over 3 hours. Then it only got through 3.3 MB before crapping out. Trying it again now and its saying I'm downloading at 10 KB/sec. Uggg. Might be easier to just go with the SD card route afterall.

ROM Manager is for every device that can run clockworkmod recovery, not just the slide. The slide is the only one that can't get a recovery to stick as far as I am aware, so there's no reason for them to include a warning in an app used by tons of devices when only one of them has the issue.
True...didn't look at it that way
~ SykosouL~ d-_-b
I have a stupid ROM Manager question... I remember trying to use a while back and hit a snag. When you open it, it first wants you to install Clockwork Recovery, and of course we cant make ours stick. When I tried this a while back, I remember it breaking my recovery and took some fiddling to fix it. Should I let it run this option, so I can then use it to manage my ROMs?

It now has a recovery for the slide and it works great. It is the only I use to get in recovery.
So to be clear, I can use the Install CWR option from ROM Manager? I cannot do anything else in ROM manager without it wanting to "install" it.
on mine it is the first option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery", pop-up will show up and it only has the choice of "MyTouch Slide" after tapping that you are good-to-go for rebooting into recovery and flashing ROM's
Yeah I went ahead and did it. I get a lot of Superuser FCs still with it. I even hit the Fix Permissions, which says may fix FCs, and it FCs on me
that's odd I am running it on both of our phones without issue, didn't even have any issues running dumfuq's experimental dopio 960 oc kernel.
I see what happened. Cyans latest ROM comes with a different/newer SU app. When Rom Manager flashed recovery, it downgraded SU. I just grabbed the SU out of the latest CM6 ROM and pushed it to system in recovery and all is good. Running Fix Permissions now to see if it stops the FC I get on some uploader service upon each boot.
oh I forgot, unless you have already figured it out, the power button is NOT used for selecting in cwm anymore... volume still does "up" and "down", track-pad is now "select" and the back button works as "back page"
hopefully all is good.
So, Rom Manager can get you directly to Clockworkmod?
I just got a new Slide, rooted it, and immediately flashed the ENG build.
I then flashed MyFroYo6 with Rom Manager. No dice. What the hell am I doing wrong?
Currently I am running nookie froyo 0.6.8 from the internal rom but I am having the following problem even when I had eclair with autonooter. When I am turning off my nook for the night, in the morning I am stuck at the "Touch the future..." screen and I can only boot through clockwork recovery and choose reboot. I think that it started when I flashed clockwork for the first time, but I am not sure. Any ideas?

I am searching the forums to find an answer to the same problem. I am running stock eclair that has been autonootered. I don't have clockwork installed. I can always boot with the sdcard to Honeycomb.. sometimes I can then reboot back into Eclair.
i had this one time, i try the 8 failed boot's to restore, didn't restore but rebooted to eclair!
arf, i'm having the same problem after all..
I had the same thing happen to me had to reformat cache if I wanted to boot into froyo,its a great system but that one problem did me in went back to stock and rooted the NC and plan on staying this way I just give up flash.Looked all over for fix or someone to explain why but never did get an answer sorry i couldnt help you but if i find answer will let you know
ok will look forward when i have time
At this point i can boot by pressing power + n for 30s, it boot to recovery, then i choose "reboot"
Yes that's right, this is the only way I can boot too (power but. + n).
when rebooted i lower setcpu to 1ghz max. it seems to help to boot ..
There are some really good unbricking//"my nook won't boot" sort of threads to be found in the developers section; but this one should be more than enough to fix your issues:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
Additionally, I find that reflashing to a stock ROM or restoring a previous working backup image from CWM is the best way to go about it. Good luck!
I have the same problem too. Just remove the SD card on power on (reboot with software is OK)
Looking for better fix.

Thx, I'll take a look at that if I ever have booting issues.
Think this is caused by the recovery image. Upgrade your recovery to the latest version 3.0.1.0 and see if that fixes it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971197
Going to try that today ..I just looked and i do have an older recovery file so maybe that is the problem will report back later on it.
Did the update, I will shut it off for the night and will check it in the morning.
Sent from my Nook Color
I also read CWR does not get along with 1.1..I just updated CWR and it still did the same thing what Im going to do now is clean restore then custom froyo then after setup go to market get rom manager install reboot into recovery and then install the remove crw with root file.
I downloaded the restore to stock zip file. Put it on the sd card. Then used the power and "n" to get to the butloader. Chose install from sd card and it installed. Back to operational!
Just installed CM7 final on uSD card. Works fine. So I went on and followed instruction here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957 to install gapps. Rebooted a few times, including using the shutdown menu to boot into recovery. But nothing happens. CM7 boot the system without any interaction and there is no sign of gapps anywhere.
Anybody succeeded?
zip file I installed was gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
Rename to "update-gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip"
I had the same problem too with gapps using those instructions. When CM7 final was released, I just reimaged my SD card and tossed cm7.zip and the gapps.zip file onto the root of the SD card and reinstalled CM7. It installed gapps as well and it appears to be working fine.

Nonsense, you use the name as-is.
OP,
Sounds like you're just not getting into recovery right, it takes some practice with the timing. And you can't 'shut down into recovery', AFAIK that does not work. You'll have to hold the right combination of buttons bootup.. You'll need to look for your particular recovery, but for me I hold Power and the N button during the boot process and let go of the Power button about 5s after seeing the "Reading" message.
Thanks. It looks like khaytsus is right: I need to let go of the power button but hold on to the N button for a bit.
Works now!
After flashing gasps and if you don't see market icon, connect to wifi. Then it should show up.
OMG thanks for the one above me! i was flashing and flashing again and again the whole day about 10 times or more! and the only thing i should do, was enabling wifi -.-
Yesterday I decided to update my Cm7 from 7.0.2 to 7.1.0. I erased the Data and the Cache before installing 7.1.0. I then installed the gapps and update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-042411ext4.zip so that I could overclock.
When I rebooted I first get the cyanogen mod logo the I just got the text saying android in the corner and nothing else. I rebooted 20-30 times and I never goes away.
If I hit the N while the cyanogens logo is up it boots into Encore U-boot menu, which I never installed or have seen before.
From there if I select “Boot Mode: Recovery” and then “Boot Now” but then it just goes to a blank screen.
Now I’m starting suspect that the blank screen might be the Clockwork Recovery because when I hit the N button twice it reboots as if I were in Recovery and selecting Reboot and confirm.
I tried getting into Clockwork Recovery the normal way which was to hold the power and the N button then powering it on but it doesn’t take me into it. I've also tried holding the power button with each of the volume button. No luck there either.
So first of all what did I do wrong. Second, how do I get into Clockwork Recovery and fix this?

You seem to mess things up.
Firstly, you failed to indicate where the CM7 currently running from.
Secondly, you force us to guess:
a. By saying this "I tried getting into Clockwork Recovery the normal way which was to hold the power and the N button then powering it on but it doesn’t take me into it." I assume you are running CM7 from uSD.
b. And from this "and update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-042411ext4.zip so that I could overclock." You are telling us that you had installed Dalingrin kernel of an eMMC version.
CM7 running from the device and not the sd card
I don't know what an eMMc is.
Good to know you're running CM7 from eMMC (referred to the internal memory)
1. Since you got the stable 7.1, you don't need to install that OLD 042411 version of Dalingrin kernel.
2. A question, how did you perform those updates? from ROM Manager or from CwMR uSD card?
This is the video that I used to show me how to initially put gingerbread cm 7.0.2 on my nook then I first got it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88qRbLLEAPQ&feature=related
And then yesterday I tried to install the CM 7.1.0 and the overclock kernal I mentioned above.
Did I brick my nook?

I rebooted into Clockwork Recovery and installed 7.1.0 then the gapps then the overclock kernal, then rebooted.
I can't view any Youtube when at work. Speculate that clip was outdated.
NC is virtually un-brickable. Don't panic.

Here is the Clockwork Recovery download link from the video:
http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/downloads/
I don't know if it has been updated from when I did it earlier this year.
Also,
I tried putting the micro sd card back in that had the software that automatically installed the Clockwork but it didn't do anything. I would have thought that it would have tried to re-install the Clockwork recovery.
I'm at a loss on what I can try next. Does anyone know what I can try?

Make a bootable CWR SD card http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987735&highlight=recovery
Then then flash CM7 stable or the latest Nightly and once you've booted up you can use the Rom Manager to reflash your internal CWR.
I'm thinking about trying a program I looked up called auto nooter just so I can get it to do something! Does anybody think it will make it worse?

Do you know if I can use can 3.2.x.x for my nook? I got it towards the beginning when they first came out so its an older nook. I wonder because your link says that newer nooks are not compatible with can 3.0.x.x because the partitions are different. Do you know of a link that says what nooks are compatible with what cwm's?
The newer CWR is compatible with all Nooks, new and old.

The O/C kernel killed you. Do it again and leave that out.
I put ClockWorkMod recovery on a bootable SD card and used it to put ManualNooter on my nook. But the environment ManualNooter gives me is super lame, so I wanted to replace the stock walled-garden Android with Cyanogenmod7.2 (or even better, a Honeycomb rom if anyone can find me one), and be able to install the google apps .zip that has market in it. Bootable CWM on SD can do this, right?

Yes, the bootable CWM SD can flash things to the internal memory of the nook. CM7.2 (gingerbread android) is very stable. There is no stable Honeycomb for the nook. Google never released the source code for that so all versions for the nook are terrible. But there is Ice Cream Sandwich (CM9) which is the next higher version of android above honeycomb. It is still under development so is not as stable as CM7, but head and shoulders above honeycomb. You can get that following this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=909
And you can flash gapps with the CWM card too.
Ok, I tried that an before I even got to the CWM menu (where it lets you select "select zip from sdcard", etc), it hung on the skull-and-crossbones LOADING menu. Been like this for 15 minutes now. This exact same CWM card worked when I flashed ManualNooter, but it's hung now. Problem is, how do I turn it off it doesn't seem possible to remove the battery from this thing.

Hold the power button for like 15 seconds until it totally powers off. Try using my CWM card found in my tips thread linked in my signature (item A10).

Then something is not right. There are no bugs in CM7.2. Did you factory reset with CWM before you flashed CM 7.2? You need too. You can still do it now and things will improve dramatically.

Oh. Factory reset is safe? OK. Did not know. Will try this.
Also, I tried some of the ICS roms, but the'res a graphics bug - things that were on the screen previously do not get removed from the screen unless they get painted over. I'm an amateur game developer, so I liken it to drawing each successive frame without clearing the screen of the last frames. That's what it is, really. I tried with and without openGL and it still has the problem.
