[Nook Color] Cannot return to stock from Cyanogen

So I rooted my Nook with autonooter 3.0.0, I followed all the directions entirely. It worked perfectly, I liked it but wanted to try other stuff. Then I successfully installed Honeycomb v4 on my Nook, I tried it out, but didn't like it, I'll wait until later as its more developed. Then I installed CM7 on my Nook. Its nice, but for some reason a lot of my important apps force close on me. So I thought would just return to stock and then go to autonooter. I tried the method found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
So I don't know if it matters, but I remember formatting boot, system, and data in CWR during the installations of Honeycomb, and also formatting the system and data in CM7 and also in trying to return to stock. So in each of the installations I followed all of the directions perfectly.
Ok, so here is my problem. After I try to return to stock, I try to boot up my Nook, it goes to the Touch the Future of Reading screen, then to the screen with the 'n' on it and the adobe message at the bottom comes up. However, it will not go passed this. It hangs and I cannot fix it. I have tried the 8 reboots which does reinstall the original firmware, however when its complete and reboots it does not boot, it does the same thing I just described.
Please help, if I have left out any information just ask and I will fill in the details.

There is a recovery zip on the development forum. Boot into cwr and flash... that should do the trick... hopefully.

Doesnt he need to format the partions with a ext3 cwr before flashing or will the recovery do that?

Yeah, I'm beginning to think I do have to fix up the partitions because everything I do is just giving me more hang.
Can anyone help with that?

Get CWR 3.0.5...
Write the SD card image to your uSD...
Copy repartition-boot-with-stock.zip to the root of the SD card...
Decide if you want to restore to 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 and copy the appropriate nook-complete-restore-1.0.x.zip to root of the SD card....
Boot off the SD card in your NC
since you say you have formatted boot... shouldn't ever need to do that btw...
Format Boot... System... Data... and cache...
Install the repartition boot zip file... then the complete system restore from SD card.

yeah.. once you reformat with CWR 3.0.0.5 you should be able to do the re-partition boot flash and then restore the image.
I just got back that way as well.

Thanks for all the help! I'm going to try this now. And I'm guessing it is, but will it be ok to use CWR 3.0.0.6 and boot with that from the SD card?

It needs to be CWR 3.0.0.5 in my experience.
3.0.0.6 supports EXT4 partitions and won't format them back to EXT3.. as long as they are EXT4, the nook will not boot into the stock rom.
The stock kernel doesn't support EXT4.. so it hangs just before it loads the system files..
If you wipe the partitions using 3.0.0.5 and install the full recovery image for 1.01 you should be a-ok.

Alright I got it! You guys are the best! Thanks for the help! Now I just need to re-root and I'm good to go! Thanks again!
Oh and yeah I used 3.0.0.5, that may have been the problem all along because I kept trying to fix with 3.0.0.6. Thanks!

[Q] can i flash CM7 using CWR if HC is already loaded onto the internal mem?

Simple question......if i have already flashed Honeycomb onto the nook internal memory..and if i would like to instead flahs CM7 to the internal memory can i just load my CM7.zip file onto my ClockWorkRecovery SD and then install from zip using that? or do i have to restore back to stock and then reroot and start the process all over?

wipe from recovery? Does this mean simply drag the zip file out of my sd card using my computer or put my CWR sd into the nook wipe it there, take the sd card back out of the nook drag and drop the cm7 zip onto my sd card and then install from zip using the CWR

I believe he means you need to boot CWM and use the menu to format areas like data/system/cache and then install CM7. I'm not sure which areas need to be formatted if you installed HC though.

Depends on which version of HC you installed.
If you installed the v2 with ext4 filesystem, you should be able to just wipe system/data/cache and then install cm7.
If it was one of the older HC releases that you had to format the boot partition to install, im not sure what to do.

i had to format boot for HC not cache and i believe with cm7 i have to format cache

[Q] Stuck at Nookie 'N'

Having successfully been using Froyo for a while, I decided to try the CM7 RC. After the flashing the ROM the Nook got stuck in a boot loop, after several attempts, I tried to go back to Froyo. Formatted the System and data under mounts and storage then flashed froyo, now stuck at the Nook N. Repartitioned the boot partition and tried to restore to stock no luck any help would be much appreciated.
- Stuck at Nookie 'N'

A couple questions first; did you reformat your eMMC to EXT-4 by formating system, data, and cache with CWM 3.0.1.0.? Which is required before flashing CM7. If you did then you cannot go back to froyo without reverting back to EXT-3, by formating system/data/cache with CWM 3.0.0.5.
You also may have a messed up boot partition, try flashing one of dalingrin's kernels for froyo or CM7, whichever one you're trying to recover. they are located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
That's about all I can say without knowing if you went to EXT-4

This will fix your problem....
Make a bootable SD immage of CWR. Burn it with a tool of your choice.
After that is done: Open up the sd card and toss the ROM that you want to flash in the root folder. (Hell, or make folders, thats what I do)
Next insert the SD card and restart your nook. You will have booted into CWR where you can then flash the Rom you stored on the SD card.
EDIT: Here is the link of the CWR images: http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/

Thanks for the quick response, I am currently using CWM 3.0.0.6, I tried your suggestion of using dalingrin's kernel, no luck. One thing I failed to mention is when I attempted to flash froyo it aborted every time.
btw colbur87 I am using a bootable uSD card...

Try getting the 3.0.5.0 CWM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870
Then flash it to your uSD card.
Boot to said uSD card
Format /data, /system, /cache
Flash Froyo.zip
Clear Davik-cache
reboot
install OC kernel
clear Dalvik-cache
reboot
I think when you formated with 3.0.6.0 you upgraded your eMMC to EXT-4, and froyo can only run on EXT-3. I may be wrong, but this should set you back up with froyo anyways.
If you're still stuck at the 'n' screen after this, then your /boot partition may be corupted, and someone might have to supply you with a proper one.

This helped a lot it turned out to be the incompatible file systems EXT-3 EXT-4.
I was able to restore my nook to stock. Now I will start over, again thanks a lot....

What version of CWM are you using?
First thing I'd do is make sure it 3.2.0.1... or use TWRP 2.1.1
You may also want to look into repartitioning the Nook Color's eMMC.

Im using 3.0.2.8 im new to this nook color thing
So if someone can provide me with best version of cwm to flash to my sd card and what's the most stable mod right now for the nook color
Thanks
Some links will help a. Lot

You do not use CWM to put CM on your SD. You set it up using a generic image file in the thread referenced below. If you want the latest version of that file, look in my tips thread in my signature. (edit: but now I think you meant putting CWM on your SD. You can do as I suggested below)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12240928
If you want to put it on emmc, you are using the wrong version of CWM. Nook changed their partition layout on the new nooks and 3.0.2.8 and older do not format /data properly. Use 3.2.0.1 or newer. (get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21932561. Use the first choice). Just use your 3.0.2.8 CWM to flash the zip file found there. It will upgrade your emmc CWM to 3.2.0.1. Then you can boot to that to wipe /data and finish installing the CM 7.2 ROM.
Do you want CM9 or CM7? CM 7.2 RC2 is the most stable. Get it at cyanogenmod.com.

Thanks for your help ill try it today

[Q] T599 Internal SD Formatting

I have the T599N phone with the newest clockwork recovery installed. I noticed my internal sd card is a complete mess and understand that it's not formatted when installing new ROMs. What's a safe way to format it? Does formating it through the clockwork recovery work? I don't want to brick anything. Thanks!
EDIT: It worked, in CW recovery I formatted the /data/media/ (sdcard) partition and it cleared out the internal memory perfectly.

Yep it'll work. Wipe cache and dalvik cache while you're at it too.
