[Q] CWM, Dual-boot & Market issues...dazed and confused

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for this long-winded post. I've spent hours reading posts here, AndroidCentral and AndroidTablets.net forums, but have not found answers that work for me.
I hope someone can sort out the mess I've created on my rooted 1.1 Nook. Everything worked for 4-5 weeks after I rooted with Decad3nce method until...
A few days ago I decided to try 1.1G kernel. Read many threads about issues with Root Manager/ CWM; 3.0.0.5/3.0.0.6/SD CWM/EMMC CWM/Nook/Nook (old). When I booted into CWM, the version was 3.0.0.5. If I tried flashing CWM through Rom Manager, it said it 'flashed' 3.0.0.6 (tried both "Nook" and "Nook(old)"), but it never changed version of CWM I booted into. I also tried nemiths' "[RECOVERY] Official CWM 3.0.0.6 Update [BROKEN] (new fix soon!)" method to flash 3.0.0.6, but "adb shell busybox" always gave a 'can't get root' type error, so I gave up on that. I ended up using my current CWM to flash 1.1G kernel, and it worked very well. So I ignored the the CWM issues.
Then, I decided to try rookie1's dual-boot method so I could try out Honeycomb. I could never get 'prep_dualboot' zip to flash. It always gave an 'error in zip (status 0)'. His thread showed a few others getting same error, but none of the fixes given worked for me. I re-flashed that zip and ran the 'un-dualboot' zip many times with same result. I then found a "EMMC_CWM_3.0.0.6" zip and flashed that with my CWM. That actually gave me 3.0.0.6 CWM, but flashing dualboot still didn't work. I also again un-dualbooted, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions with same result. So I gave up on that for now.
Then this morning, I found Market updates and downloads don't work anymore. It says 'about to download', then shows the arrows in status bar and nothing else happens. Saw threads regarding this issue and tried clearing Market cache and wiping whatever I could in CWM. Nothing I've found has helped so far.
As a side note in Rom Manager, "Recovery" section now shows 3.0.0.5 (before it wanted to flash 3.0.0.6). Tried flashing 3.0.0.5 there, but it doesn't seem to do anything (same as when it tried to flash 3.0.0.6). I can't understand the logic in Rom Manager. I also have Fascinate phone and RM has issues on that phone also.
I do have CWM backups and Titanium backups of all my stuff, so at worst I can do those. Looking for possibly easier way to get back to 'normal' so Market works and I can download the 'dual boot' zip and be happy again.
Some additional questions I have:
1) I saw in Decad3nce post that he left out 'root' for busybox in an early release, so that may be why mine won't work. I know I had used busybox before, but that may have been on earlier rooted 1.0.1. Is there a way to fix my current busybox without re-rooting?
2) What is the correct CWM I should use for 1.1 and will let me flash dual-boot zip? Also, where can I download it from and how can I replace the one I have?
3) I have saved my SD card to my computer many times and then re-formated it on the Nook. Is there some partition on it that format isn't cleaning that may contain some CWM image(s) causing at least some of my headaches?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help with these issues. I may have tried a few other 'fixes' that I've since forgotten in the 5 hours last night trying to setup dual boot and quick hour this morning before work trying to sort out Market. Sorry (in advance) if you suggest something and I then say I tried it already. Possibly, just doing all the fixes I've tried previously in the correct sequence is what I need.

I seem to back to where I was before 'bad' versions of CWM skewered Market on me.
1) busybox: found that I just had to 'chmod 755' on my /system/xbin/busybox.
2) Saw that nemith posted a 3.0.0.9 version of CWM. Flashed that using his manual method. Didn't flash his kernel. Rebooted.
3) Tried clearing Market cache and didn't help. Wiped partition cache in CWM (or possibly Dalvik cache, not sure now...was going to do both but rebooted by mistake). After reboot, Market is working again.
Not sure if any of these affected Market, but I also unchecked/checked "Allow Non-Market Apps" and Unchecked/Checked "USB Debugging" and Unchecked "Auto Mount" in Settings.
Can't post in Dev area, so hope some there having same issue as me Market see this.
Now, gonna try the dual-boot again.

Alas, still getting (status 0) error flashing dual boot prep zip. Project for another night.

I'm getting that same error trying to flash the dual boot prep zip on my rooted Nook. Very frustrating.

From error logs it appears the sizes used in re-partitions may be the problem. Over weekend I'm going to try to find values that work. Could be the size differences reflect how NC was originally configured or how many re-roots/updates it has gone through and affect whether the prep works or not. Errors do occur on the 'remove dual boot' ZIP also.

Install an older version of CWM through Rom Manager app. Should be 5.2.xx. This one should work just fine.

Just go and search for cwm touch flasher optimus black and look for an entry made by redy06. He created a flasher for the 5 version. You can also have a look into dev section. Dont know, if you maybe are able to install a cwm created by tantrums.

he changed the update script. the official cm flashable zip checks for the codename "p880". since its not the correct codename for our phone ("x3" is correct) and all our recoveries use that codename "x3" its not flashable. what he did is changing "p880" to "x3" in the update script (in the first line) or he completely removed that check

Wasn't easier to just use the official CWM from the CM team? Unless you use twrp ofcourse

3. In CWM Recovery make wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, format system
4. Flashcm-10.1-20130416-NIGHTLY-p880.zip from sdcard

Restore the backup you made in step 2, install newest official CWM via ROM Manager (download it from play store if you don't already have it) then boot back into CWM and install CM again.
---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------
Also I honestly don't see any real benefit to this thread when installing official CWM solves the status 7 issue and allows for OTA updating of CM instead of having to wait for the OP of this thread to upload a fix every single day...

argh

I was afraid you were gonna say that! You can still boot into CWM though right? If you can, and your computer has an SD slot, just take out your external SD card and put it into an adapter and put the fixed version from this thread on that, then you can just install it from the external SD in CWM.

from CWM you can install via sideload ...
or harder way- reflash stock, root it, download rom manager, install newest cwm via it, copy files, flash in recovery

won't work

When i connect phone to computer, driver is missing, it is named lgp880. I've installed all the drivers that came on my mind, and nothing.
So i'm not sure how to use the sideload command...

In order to flash the CM11 zip you need to update your CWM to 6045.
Make a new CWM SD from verygreen's CM11 thread.

Hey thanks man, I'll try it after I finish school.
**Update**
It works! on CWM 6.0.4.6, thanks for your help

TWRP 2.6.3.0 works also fine here, also the last CM11-20140113 update worked using TWRP

Hi there! I did what you did (use cmupdater to update and got the status 7 error). I followed verygreen's upgrade (not new install) instruction and updated to CWM 6.0.4.5, but when I flashed CM11 I still get the status 7 error. Did you install as New Install or Upgrade from CM10.x?
I then use the New Installs instruction, unzip the initial SD image, unzipped and wrote the 5 files with winimage to a SD card. But when I went to choose zip from /sdcard or /external_sd, it didn't see the files. And if I just save the initial SD img file to the SD, it will see it, but then gives me the status 7 error.
Also, there are two files there "for completeness"... what does that mean? Should I use those instead?
What did I do wrong? Many thanks to save my nook (HD+)!

Sorry for the late reply, don't know if you still have this issue but anyway... First I didn't use winimage i used win32 disk imager (maybe that's the problem), I also used CWM 6.0.4.6 from verygreen and I used the latest CM11 official nightly. I did a clean install but you could try installing over your current cm update but I can't guarantee anything. Hope this helps!

Can't install any ROM

Hi, I've a big problem with my S3. I wanted to install 5.1.1 Cyanogenmod but every times I got infinite loading (I wiped/factory resetted after but it din't work). Then I wanted to back to SlimSaber 4.4.4
Currently:
- I can get into TWRP recovery
- I can get into download mode, but it contains "Secure Download: Enabled"
- my phone gets infinite loading with SlimKat logo
- It looks that my sd card and internal storage became read-only. I can't copy any file to it, even 100kb image (separately, sd card is also read-only, even having button at "unlocked")
- When I want to use Kies to emergency recover my phone, it downloads files and then always stucks at 0%
- When I want to use Odin it stucks here (tried with few ROMs downloaded via sammobile): http://i.imgur.com/29sHKnU.png
Could you help me, please!
edit: I can write on sd card now, but I've problem with internal storage.
When I wanted to install RR Rom i got this message:
