Back up Nook Color after rooting?

So, after yesterday's "authentication error" and reset, I've got this thing all back to the way I want it. Now, my question is... what do I need to do to back it up, so I can restore it should this happen again? I've got Titanium Backup on it, but I want to be sure I'm doing the best option to get me a good restore later on.
Thanks, Lori

Boot back into Clockwork Recovery... and create a backup. From there, you should be good.

What do you mean "back into Clockwork Recovery?" I used AutoNooter 3.0, if that matters.

"backup" is subjective... You could go all out and put a small CWM image on a 32 gig card, boot it up and hit ADB then DD the internal storage into an image on the SD card... but that is likely excessive.
A better idea would be to install the CWM the Cyanogen authors created or use some SD bootable CWM and use it to make a nandroid backup.

Thanks again. Is there some place that explains what all this means, 'cause I have no idea what Nandroid is or what DD stands for or what any of that means.

Nandroid Backup - full backup image of the OS from the internal nand (nand+android=nandroid, cute, huh?) flash nand memory. Think of it as an .iso image.
CRW-Clockwork Recovery. It's a custom recovery tool that allows you to do various things like backup and restore your nandroid. It exists on the boot partition and you access it using various button press/hold combinations at boot which vary depending on how you've got your system setup.
AutoNooter- is just (!) a tool that makes it easy to root your Nook. Once rooted, this tool is not used again.

So, if you use Nandroid, where do you store the image? Can you store it on your PC?

Store on uSD or PC

I keep the latest backup on the uSD in the folder it defaults to, then copy the prior 1 to the PC. I only keep 2 BU at a time. The BU are good sized: 400-500MBs, so it makes sense to me this way. You're milage may vary.
Good luck m8!

If you use Monster Rootpack 0.7, you can boot CWM off of the sd card and store your backup on the SD. From there you can remove your SD card and read/store the contents on your PC.

[Q][NookHD+] CM10.1 native emmc install

Hi, guys, I am really new to my Nook HD+ coz I received it 2 days ago.
After reading lots of posts, I wanna try the CM10.1 native emmc which I used with other pad.
May I ask after installing it by the method given by verygreen(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263553), is it possible to reset it to the original Nook system with the 8-restart method? Coz I note verygreen says "Note, this version totally overwrites your ROM, so back up everything important before proceeding".
Thanks very much!

If you replace the stock recovery with one of his recoveries (CWM or TWRP), the 8 failed restart no longer works. If you only install his ROM and not the recovery, the 8 failed restart still works.
But if you use his CWM SD to do a nandroid backup before you install his ROM, you can restore that one later so you get stock back.

cant unzip the cwm image
i am new to installing roms i have used cwm before but the link for the cwm image is not downloading the same as normal and letting me extract the files then burn to sd etc. do i just write the cwm.early4 file as is when i download it? i'm not understanding why its different than the usual zip files and is an 8g sd card large enough? thanks for your time i realize explaining things to us noobs is frusterating

No, don't use early4. If you want to install the CM to emmc, you must use the CWM that he has in the emmc thread (early 2.1). It should unzip to 1GB and can be burned to a 1GB or larger SD. Don't confuse it with the other cwm zip (that he calls CWM recovery) that is meant for flashing CWM to emmc.

I have some more problems, can you help me?
I installed verygreen's CM10.1 native emmc install without replacing the internal recovery. It works well but I found sth wrong.
1. Sometimes the wallpaper cannot be full screen after changing from landscape mode to portrait mode.
2. For the lock screen sider shortcut, I cannot do any modification in the setting and for the phone and sms icon, when I move to them, it says error.
Thanks!

I don't know the answers. You would get better results in the emmc CM10.1 thread. But maybe someone else will answer here.

[Q] TWRP?

Will we ever have a working TWRP recovery?

Doesn't seem like it but I'm not too concerned since I have had great luck with Philz and Touch CWM.

Looks like we will not. But as long I have philz I'm OK. Lol

Too bad. I like philz lots but its cwm based and romtoolbox don't get along.

TWRP
As someone whose previous device had a TWRP recovery the only thing I really miss is that it allowed internal and external sd card access while booted. That always made for easy switching of roms. I know I bork up something at least once a week while tinkering and have to reflash recovery because I deleted my data without a working rom backup on my sd card.

With philz never had a problem with that app as I use it to change bootanimations and fonts.

With Philz recovery you can always access both. Only takes a few minutes to switch between roms

Sorry for not being clearer

What I meant is that while in TWRP you can unmount your external and internal sd card and have it recognized as an mass storage device by windows. Thus allowing you to move roms, backups etc onto your sd card. Once you're finished with moving files you can remount your sd card and go about your business. I mess something up at least once a week and end up without a usable backup after wiping data in recovery. In the TWRP world I can just copy over a good backup without leaving the recovery. In Philz and cwm recoveries I end up having to reboot to the bootloader, reflash recovery, pull out my sd card and copy my backup to the sd card to get back where I need to be. It's nothing horrible but it does usually add 5 or 10 minutes to the process.

Philz has that option but I can't seem to be able to mount it correctly ,
I hope there will be a fix ,as I have been in situations in where I had a Bootlooping phone until I accessed my PC
If I recall correctly I think I heard someone built a version for us, but had touch points off coordination

TWRP 2.6.3.1
The Photon Q TWRP works on our AHDs but has offset touch-points. It's still very usable once you figure out the offsets (down/left).
Attached is a flashable ZIP if you want to try it out. Just flash in recovery and reboot. You can always flash back to Philz if you don't like the touch issue.
Enjoy!

Nook HD+ recovery loops, status 7 and so on

Hi there,
i'm having huge problems getting my HD+ fixed.
what happened: shut down out of nowhere, didnt boot the ROM, just TWRP recovery loops. Flashing and wiping did nothing good to the device. I always got errors when trying to install zips (data1 not found or something like this), but somehow the installation of CWM worked.
At the moment: CWM 6.0.4.5, when booting into recovery, under mounts/storage it says that system, data rom and bootdata arent mounted (but i can mount them from there).
trying to flash a new ROM or other zips doesnt work: Status 7.
I've read several threads over here, but I'm still confused and dont know how to save my HD+. Which exact files should i flash in which order? How to get rid of status 7?
Thank you so much.
Greetings
Richy

That v6045 of CWM is causing the status 7 errors. You need an older version for older zips. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD per item 1a. Then you can flash whatever you want, including that plain stock zip from item 6.

Hi,
thanks for your answers.
I made a CWM SD as described. I put it into my HD+. But how do I avoid my Nook booting into the already-installed emmc-6.0.4.5? I rebooted it several times and always landed in the 6.0.4.5, so I assume i'm not in the SD-CWM which i desperately need. I also pushed "NookHDplus-CWM-6036-for-internal-memory-rev1-(09.22.13).zip" to the internal memory and tried to flash this, but no chance - status 7.
As I see it, the problem is to get into the older CWM-SD because the 6.0.4.5 won't let me install earlier CWMs (status 7)?

Can you boot 11? I have found my new nook won't boot from the SDcard unless I boot unmount the old card and mount the new one before booting.

Seems as if i have the problem lots of other users have encountered: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288688&page=6
When I installed CWM/CM the first time, I didnt have any problem with this, using the exact same hardware. Is it even possible to boot right from SD with my emmc-installed 6045, or is it just bad luck like those other guys in the thread mentioned?
Sideload doesnt work neither, CWM 6045 tells me to begin sideloading, but ADB gives me the whole "help"-listing instead (as if I used a wrong command or something: adb sideload filename.zip) of a working sideload-process. When I start sideload in CWM, "adb devices" gives me "host", dont know if this is good.

On my new replacement Nook I can't boot to any SDcards no matter if they are CWM or CM unless I boot into a working OS unmount the card I have in there eject it and put another one in while still booted then do a reboot it then boots every time off the new card.

Now the stock OS is installed. But I have problems getting into the SD-CWM. At the moment, it doesnt boot at all when the SD card is my Nook. Very strange behaviour.
I don't have a second SD-card, so I can't try that.

My Nook has Version 2.2 of B&N Software. I have to restore the Nook to get it to boot from SD Card. I am new so I am having issues finding the right combination of files to install the nightly build of CM11 without getting a status 7. There are so many builders and files on this forum and everything I have tested so far has been a no go. Can someone give me a specific set of files that will work with the nightly build of CM 11? It would be greatly appreciated!

Create a bootable SD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
- format SD card with SDFormatter
- set the only partition to "active" with MiniTool Partition Wizard
- "flash"/"burn" a bootable-CWM-image, for me it OINLY worked with "NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-small-rev4-(05.15.13).zip" (boots every time to SD-CWM, using the 4GB-version didnt work even after 30+ trys
- add your CM11-zip to the SD card using your windows explorer
- add flash_recovery_ovation_CWM_6.0.4.5b_internal.zip from http://goo.im/devs/succulent/ovation/recovery
- put it in your Nook, boot it up, if you're lucky you see CWM
- flash the 6.0.4.5b CWM, then you're ready to flash the newest CM11. If you want to flash an older version of CM such as 10.1 or 10.2, you need a lower CWM version to avoid status 7 errors.
- flash CM11
That was my way to CM11, but there is one huge problem at the moment: CM won't boot, it loops the CM-bootlogo infinitely. several wipes did nothing, still looping. My CWM always says on bootup that /system/ (besides others) isnt mounted, but I can mount them without a problem, flashing the CM-ROM doesnt produce errors.
I don't know how to avoid the CM bootlogo-loop

Had to reboot about 8 times to get my nook to read 32 gig SD card.

I had to reboot my nook at least 8 times to get it to read my SD card so I could install succulents 07FEB2014, using TWRP, because I was getting error 7 when installing via CWM.6.0.26 If I had known better, I would have copied the 07FEB2014 (stable) build to my internal memory and installed with TWRP from there. I somehow got into a loop where I could only boot into TWRP, finally being able to install seemed to fix this. I am loving the 07FEB2014 build. Keep up the good work gentle men and women! I really love this build.

Can't find cwm backup ANYWHERE

First of al I'm not talking about our device but my friends S4 Mini LTE!
But the S4 mini community is not that active, really..
So I was going to flash Liquid Smooth for him (he was running stock rom, no root), so made backup for safety but the backup took 3gb space and that was all he had left.
I used this one (CWM) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
I stopt after step 6, only wanted CWM recovery because Liquid Smooth would give root automaticly.. I did everything right!
- CWM worked properly
- Made backup (didn't know it would be 3gb)
- Rebooted, phone says not enough memory
- Can't find the backup. Really NOWHERE, trust me.
- CWM was not installed anymore when I again booted in recovery.
So the problem is that cwm is not installed anymore? If I flash md5. again with odin to get cwm will I find the nandroid backup?
I really need to solve this, it's my friends phone soo..
I made backup for safety, but now the backup is the problem because it's so big and can't be found.
Thanks
Again I know this is not s4 mini section but it's pretty dead over there, or our device section is extremely alive

Probably nowhere, maybe it deleted files after there was not enough space. CWM make folder in root of exnternal/internal memory called clockworkmod. If it is not present, then there is no backup.

Try it on PC. And put hidden files to be shown. I have no idea where it could be. Maybe it is in different place on S4 mini.
Or make backup of stuff he uses, format and put them back on the phone.

Not system, backup is not there. Format sd card, the one you said it is full - and it has no apps it has data (music, pictures etc...). System has nothing to do with CWM nandroid backup.
