Hi guys,
I tried installing CM7 onto my nook, i installed the zip of it onto the root of my sd card and then went into clockwork and installed the zip without wiping anything. Now im stuck at the stock android root boot screen not the even the CM7 one. I tried to go into recovery but i cant and i cant do the 8 interruptions either. I was just wondering if i have to restore the NC back to 1.1 or can i just burn the image of clockwork onto my sd card and zip another rom instead?
This happened to me, too.
I think it was because I wasn't using the latest Clockwork.
Take your SD card out and redo it making sure you use CW 3.0.1.0.
Then follow the steps listed here:
Download a working build of CyanogenMod and place it on the root of the card.
Optional: Download the Google Apps archive and place it on the root of the card.
Turn your Nook Color completely off. (Hold power button then tap "Power Off")
Insert the SD card you installed ClockworkMod Recovery onto.
Once ClockworkMod Recovery has booted, use the volume buttons to highlight options, the "n" button to select the highlighted option, and power to go back a menu.
Select Wipe data/factory reset.
Select Wipe cache partition.
Go to install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard and find your build of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Repeat step 6 with your Google Apps archive instead.
Go to mounts and storage --> unmount sdcard --> remove sdcard. (Rebooting without this step may just return you to the CWR menu.)
Go back to the main menu and select reboot system now. The Nook Color should now boot into CyanogenMod.
(In my case it froze and I had to hold power to shut it off with no negative effects. Your results may vary.)
Sigh, had to copy n paste the steps since I can't post links yet.
I re-did mine and it turned out just fine.
Thanks a lot. Im going to try that out and report back.
Yeah, sounds like you missed the wipe /system /data /cache step. I did the same once, and resulted the same bootloop -> took me a few minutes to realize what I had done.
Did what you guys said and my nook is back . Thanks a lot for the input. Saved me!
Hi dev's and other Android tweakers,
I'm familiar with most of the basics in (Android) phone upgrading (like backing up and installing new rom's, radios, recovery's, metamorphs etc), but soon I need to perform a quite complex upgrade procedure and I would like to have your experienced thoughts on the details.
The case, upgrading:
FROM
Cyanogenmod 6.0.0-N1 (FRF91)
(CM pershoot kernel 2.6.35.8 // radio 32.50.00.32H_5.12.00.08) -- yeah I know, may seem to you like stone age
4GB stock SD card
stock Froyo APPS2SD
Amon_RA recovery
TO
Cyanogenmod 7.0.2.1
new 16GB SD Card (microSD of course )
Darktremor APPS2SD (!!)
latest Clockworkmod Recovery
The upgrading path I've thought out so far:
1. Titanium Backup all apps+data and perform a SMS (text message) Backup
2. Copy all SD card contents to PC, of course including the TiB backup data (simple copy-paste in Windows Explorer)
3. Perform a Nandroid
4. full system, data & cache wipe of all partitions in Amon_RA
5. Factory reset
6. flash the latest Clockwordmod
7. swap SD cards, format new SD card to fat32 and creating an ext3 partition; all using Clockworkmod.
8. copy the images of Darktremor Apps2SD and CM7 to the newly formatted SD card (in recovery).
9. flash Darktremor Apps2SD
10. flash CM7 (preceded by an extra full wipe in Clockwork??)
11. flash Google Apps
12. (boot and test basics)
13. copy the SD card contents back from the PC and restore apps+data with TiB.
14. Move formerly "installed to SD card"-apps back to "internal storage" (which actually is the ext3 partition of course) since I have enough space now anyway.
My most important questions;
- Is this a preferable order of steps?
- Have I forgot something (radio?) ?
Thanks!
Wrong order in more than one place:
First step 3, then step 2 - otherwise your Nandroid isn't backed up on the PC.
Step 5 isn't doable and isn't needed - "Wipe all user data" >= "Factory reset".
Skip flashing Clockworkmod altogether - you don't need it to install CM7, if you want it - first install CM7 and then flash it from there, later.
Steps 10 and 11 before step 9 - otherwise you'll erase DT's Apps2SD with the ROM you're flashing. It needs to be flashed AFTER the ROM, not before.
After step 12, reboot to make DT's Apps2SD work.
My suggestion: backup User Apps+Data ONLY, no system data whatsoever - and set the system data again. The only system data safe for copying and moving to CM7 would be WiFi access points.
Thanks for the corrections
Factory reset (step 5) seemed obsolete to me as well, but Cyan recommends it somehow in the installation instructions (see http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20115-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-nexus-one-v7021-25-april-2011/ ). Same goes for Clockworkmod Recovery. May work just as well with a half-year-old Amon_RA, but to be on the safe side, I'd rather use what is recommended by the ROM dev.
As for the backing up; I was indeed planning only to back up User Data+Apps, to prevent compatibility issues that could occur when backing up system data of another Android version.
Id recommend avoiding clockwork mod altogether.
Far too many issues that could lead to a suddenly wiped or unreadable SD card. Many users have had this happen to them already.

Your steps make it impossible to flash another recovery - since you have nothing to flash it with, unless you have unlocked bootloader, know how to use fastboot and have the image ready. If you want to do recovery exchange - which I don't suggest - do it while you're still running your old ROM.
Factory reset can be done during your steps, but it's not trivial - it should be done from bootloader, since the recovery doesn't have the option, AFAIK. The option is replaced by "Wipe ALL user data".
I was indeed planning to use fastboot (which I use regularly) to flash the recovery. However, since you all advise against changing recovery ROM (to Clockworkmod), I'll stay with Amon_RA.
I'm using a CM9 rom on my nook color and I wanted to go back to stock, so I created a cwr sd card. I can boot into recovery, so I format data/system/cache/dalvik and load nookcolor_1_4_1_update-signed.zip, then reboot the nook, it booted up to the Nook Color screen, then would do some weird boot loop is what I'm thinking I was getting. So I tried again, format everything, install the image .After rebooting it looks like its going to work, but then it hangs at the gray n screen. So I used a new sd card and a different cwr image and redid everything, same problem. So I went back to CM9 and it works fine, but why can't I go back to stock? I've read tutorials all over this place and even a few different ones from other websites. I'm following the instructions exactly.

I had the same exact problem when I was experimenting that process for my tips thread. For some reason, CWM is not clearing the partitions with the wipe commands like it should. The only way I could get it to work properly was to use my partition format zip to format them. You can get that zip at my tips thread linked in my signature. That zip version (5-6-7) formats /system, /data and /cache. That thread also has a link to my 1.4.3 stock zip.
thanks!

That did that trick ! Thanks so much. I just ran the 5-6-7 zip, and then installed 1.4.1, and was back to stock, updating now.
I reverted from the dual poot through internal partitions.
The dualboot was set up via this topic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275859
After that I ran the revert dual boot zip and then used the customer partition setup from this thread.

Suddenly, I could only boot to cwm. No matter what boot option I would choose, cwm would load. It would let me flash roms but I could not boot into them. I eventually got around this by re-installing cwm using rom manager from a rom running on an sd card.
That created a new problem. Every time I tried to boot, it would not mount emmc. I tried installing the rom MiRaGe. This had the strange effect of mounting my sd card as emmc and my internal drive as my sdcard
I found this guide and tried to restore my partitions back to original
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25354258#post25354258
I am using the cwm from that thread as well. I am back to booting into a black screen no matter what rom I use.
Are there any suggestions on what I can do next?
Sounds like you have your partitions pretty messed up. Go to my partition repair thread linked in my signature and follow the guidance there, including doing the partition 2 repair. Do not forget to format the partitions immediately after the repair zip is run.
That swapping of emmc media and sdcard is a setting inside of CM7. It is intended for users who have no SD and want to use emmc media as sdcard.

Thank you for your help.
Here are the steps as I read it and the order in which I did it
1) Flash sd card with CWM-5.5.0.4-bootable_SD.zip
2) Copy NookColor-emmc-format-partitions-5-6-7-8.zip, NookColor-emmc-repair-partition-2.zip, and NookColor-emmc-repair-partitions-1-4-5-6-7-8.zip, and update-encore-cwm.5.5.0.4-emmc-racks.zip.
3) Boot into cwm from sd card
4) install zip "NookColor-emmc-repair-partitions-1-4-5-6-7-8.zip"
5) reboot system
6) install zip "Copy NookColor-emmc-format-partitions-5-6-7-8.zip"
7) reboot system
8) install "NookColor-emmc-repair-partition-2.zip" (This does report success)
9) reboot system
10) install "update-encore-cwm.5.5.0.4-emmc-racks.zip"
11) reboot into cwm
Now that I am boot into cmw (I took out the sd card before boot to make sure it installed properly,) I follow these steps
1) Install rom and gapps (encore_CM72-MiRaGe-09302012.zip) It reports sucess
2) Boot into black screen.
Can you tell me if I am missing a step or if I am doing one of the previous steps incorrect?
****edit - I seem to be able to install cm9.
I'll report back after testing it out.

You did everything right. You may have had a bad download of the mirage zip.
I got nook hd+ and used cm version 10.2 something for a while.
The device keeps crashing and restarting like crazy.
1 out of 10 times, it launches, but before I do anything, it crashes. Hell.
It has been crashing and restarting quite often these days, but since last night, all it does is crashing and restarting.
To make matters worse, I tried to format the device and install cm again. It did not work.
I made booting SD card and chose 'wipe data/ factory reset'. And nook said it wiped /data /cache data wipe complete etc. However, files were still there in internal storage.
On top of that, I had to try 4 times to install newest cm-11. It aborted.
Next, I tried to installnookjdplus factory2.2.0 . It had error. (status 6) to ne specific.
So, I tried newest cwm recovery. It installed, but nook still crashed.
I persevered and tried to install cm 11. It installed, but still crash and restart.
Hell. I literally spent whole day doing this. I am confused and frustrated and angry and experiencing a few other negative emotions English language dows not have in words.
Please, some advice.

CM10.x, CM11, and stock ROM need different versions of CWM recovery.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2679899 for info/pointers on flashing CM11.
To go back to stock ROM, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613(item #6).
When switching between CM10, CM11, and stock ROM, you need to do "wipe /data & factory reset".
If none of the above helps the your problem might be due to an unruly app or hardware related.

Ok. At least I got my biggest problem now.
I think my roblem is wipe data/factory reset does not do job it is supposed to do.
I still see folders and files in internal memory after factory reset. I think that is why install aborts and crashes even after successful install.
I think my problem is that wipe data/factory reset does not do its job
It gives me message it is formatting data cache and stuff. And last day they gave me data wipe complete. But the problem is, in internal memory, I can still see old folders and old files.
I think he should be gone if it is formatted. Where do I get the meaning of factory reset wrong?
Its not what is wrong with me. And how can I make factory reset work
And second question is that I tried to install B&N original operating system from cwm-based recovery. I tried a few different versions of
nookHDplus-factory-2.1.1-plain-stock.zip
However it always fail to install. Install aborted for some reason.
Thanks. It seem helpful.

You can get v6036 on that same thread digimax referenced above (my CWM thread linked in my signature). And a data wipe does not wipe your media files. To do that, go to mounts and storage and select wipe "data and datamedia".

trying it. hope it works.
did not work
for about deleting internal data, I went to 'mounts and storage'. used 'format /sdcard' and 'format/ data and/ data/media (/sdcard), but still has stuff in internal memory.
and to my surprise , I have been using CWM-6028. so far. I thought its name was 'NookHDplus-bootable'.
hell. stupid me.
Anyhow, CWM-6028 has been giving me troule
so, I would try other versions.
So far, I have done
1. made boot sd by burning image.
2. copy 'NookHDplus-factory-2.1.0-plain-stock' files and other versions.
3. Insert SD in device and boot CWM.
4. choose zip from sdcard.
5. install factory plain stock.
then I get message 'Failed to retouch 'system/lib/libemoji.so' (WTF is libemoji? and it is always this same file.)
E: error in sdard/nookHDplus-factort-2.2.1-plain-stock.zip(status7)
Installation aborted.
hell. And I tried every factory zip.
Am I doing something wrong?
Failed tp retouch '/system/lib/libemoji' is error message I get
Everytime I tried to install factory stock.
I tried every version of stock files. And I tried all CWM. And even tried TWRP, but it is always the same message what the hell is that emoji?
And what can I do with it?
What frustrates me the most is the fact that it installed 99% in a minute without trouble and stays there 410 minutes until it fails to install. It's driving me crazy
Does CM makes Factory reset by power button and home button does not work either.
Because I am getting message factory reset failed.
If CM is not the reason for it, well, something is wrong. Very wrong.
I am suspecting Internal memory corrupted lr something.
I should seriously consider throwing it away now.

It is possible you have a bricked emmc. When bricked it looks like it is writing but is really read only and nothing takes. If you still have media files after a successful format data and datamedia then it is bricked. Probably best to get rid of it. You can buy a refurbished unit very cheaply these days.

Assuming that your EMMC is shot, you can try running off SD card this no-emmc version of CM11 ROM: https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...-4-4-4-for-bricked-no-emmc-nook-hd-04nov2014/. It's best to use a card with fast randomized block read/write (which is what Class 4 cards are typically best at).
Thanks guys. By the way, what is emmc?
Is it part of CM software?
Does not sounds like hardware.
If I had factory resetted a day earlier, I would not have had problems.
Well. That is the way it is.
I finally kind of got nook working. I am running it on SD card now.
I got to thank you guys for your good advices.
Problem is that this ecmm free booting shrinks storage space.
No matter what is size of SD card, Internal storage is 900mb and SD card got 100mb. (I mean virtual Internal storage the file made in SD card) Not enough space to hold a movie.
I am happier to have tab working, but also wish to use full space of my SD.
At least I wish I can have a few Gs of storage.

Right after burning the ROM image to SDcard, it should be possible to use a disk partitioning tool such as MiniTool Partition Wizard to examine the SDcard ROM image's partitions and resize the /data partition to fill up the un-allocated space.

CWM v6.0.4.6 is not compatible with CM10.x, you need to flash back to the CWM version you previously used.
