Don't appologize for asking questions-we all need answers to one thing or another
The first thing you want to do is go to the android market and search for Rom Manager. You already have this installed if you are running CM7, but you need to update it to the newest version.
Then, Just open your app drawer and open up Rom Manager. When it opens, the very top line says "Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery". Tap on that, choose Nook Color, and it will update to the newest version 3.2.0.1.
Hope this Helps!
What's the best way to update recovery on sdcard? Mod manager only updates the internal flash..

I downloaded an updated version located HERE and extracted the files and attached them for you. Just download and unzip the files to your current CWM SD card.

Ok, thanks! So you can indeed copy the files as-is.. with Paleolithic dos 3.2 origin, I tend to expect you need to use special app to copy the system files. In any case, I've installed the boot menu on SD card so by defaults I boot internal flash. No need to lose sanity removing the easy-to-lose usd card.. I can also start the recovery from internal flash..

Yes, I have updated a couple times by just transferring the updated files onto my bootable CWM card. I have done a number of back-ups and restores without a problem. The files are self-contained file systems, so not much damage from a simple transferring of them. If you want to install a special app for windows to be able to update the SD card in the future, then I would download this very handy tool, ImDisk, it will allow windows to mount the updated img file and extract the files from it.
Hi
First post here, I'm new to Android and rooting but I know my way around computer systems in general so hoping you guys can help me, haven't seen a thread about this exact problem so far.
I've semi-bricked (bootlooped) my Samsung Galaxy Ace running Gingerbread, having rooted it last month using the upd_1 package and enjoying a bloatware-free phone, happily installing apps onto my second partition on my SD card. I've not changed my ROM, just the stock is good enough for me for now. However I was getting continually prompted by Homescreen Selector nags at powering up for some reason and I thought I could disable it by applying Freeze using LInk2SD, but since doing that I continually get the Samsung logo, the orange "explosion" (I'm with Orange) then a vibration and the whole cycle repeats. My guess is the operating system can't find the selector.apk app since I froze it.
I thought the solution would be simple - use adb shell to rename back from selector.fro to selector.apk. However I'm unable to find any such file in my system/app folder. There are a load of other apk and odex files but not that one. When I type su I get "permission denied", though I definitely rooted my phone but I don't think I have my bootloader unlocked.
I don't have CWM installed or any backups unfortunately (yes, I know...), so even if I took one now prior to a factory reset, surely the same problem would come back if I were to restore from any backup I were to take now. I can get into Recovery and Download screens ok but don't want to restore the whole ROM unless I have to, since I know it's only one APK that is at fault.
So, please can anyone tell me how to locate the selector.fro file to turn it back to selector.apk? Or can't I do that without unlocking the bootloader first, or is there another solution?
Many thanks in advance,
Graham
Wouldnt it be possible to make a zip of the selector.apk and flash it? Rename the zip-file to "update" (since you're unable to browse to your specific file).

Hi, thanks for the response
Do you mean copy a zip of selector.apk to the SD card and run it from there, same as I did when I rooted? Where can I obtain a copy of that apk from? I can't find it on my computer or via Google...

You can extract it from the ROM's zip file, just locate it as you would on your phone.
But I don't have a ROM zip file. I'm not using a custom ROM, just stock. I may go down the custom ROM route one day, but for now I just want my phone to work again in the quickest way possible.
All I need is a copy of the original stock home selector APK. Can anyone help here please?
Found the file!
Never mind, got the apk from another thread. Flashing tonight...
Hi,
Ive always used CWM to make my recoveries. But now, with Nexus 7 (CWM touch 6.0.1.9), Im unable to locate the backup files. There is no BACKUP folder in the clockwork folder and while I did a search using google and found many answers for my question, none of them was right. And I didnt make update from 4.1.2 - I cleaned the whole device and flashed stock 4.2.1 via fastboot, so I dont believe there is some directory tree change mess. And there is no BLOBS folder either.
I just flashed the ROM, rooted it using Toolkit, flashed CWM, made a backup - and boom, nothing there, while it is visible in both CWM recovery and ROM manager. I tried renaming the backup in ROM manager and searching for its new name using File Manager (with root privileges), but I was unsuccessful ...
So, please help me or provide me with a relevant link as I dont like TWRP ...
EDIT: I deleted the /SDCARD/CLOCKWORK folder and flashed TWRP. Now, I returned to CWM, made a backup using CWM and not only I dont see the backup itself, it didnt even recreate the CLOCKWORK folder. I just made a full search in the whole filesystem and there is nothing with "clock" in name (nothing relevant). Where is the backup hidden?????
Tried using it today. Its in some God forsaken rabbit hole. First enable root in es file explorer settings. Then look in system for data, media and eventually clockworkmod. That's the help I can give u.

Thanks, but that not the place for me. /data is empty and the only folder found containing "clock" in the file structure is /sstorage/emulated/0/clockwork ... the same as /sdcard/clockwork I was talking about. only three small files and thats it, no BACKUP or BLOBS.
GOT IT!!! I dont know why it wasnt visible with rooted File Manager, but I tried ES and its there ... bam ... THANKS A LOT!
Now, whats the best way to save this stuff to a computer?
its because Jellybean 4.2 uses diff storage paths...
Android 4.2 significantly changes the way how sdcards are handled internally, your data is moved from /sdcard/ into /sdcard/0 on first boot (0 is the 'home directory' of the default user). If you go back to 4.1.2: Don't forget to move the data in 0/ back to the root of your sdcard.

Well, Im aware of that. But that doesnt explain why the files are under /data/media/clockwork. Neither it does explain why it wasnt shown/found by File manager with root privileges - although I guess its the problem of the File manager, as ES File Explorer sees that without any problems ...
Now, I switched CWM to save to TAR and made a backup. It created a folder "/data/media/clockwork/backup/2013-01-08-1214" with 9 files, size about 1,1GB. Is it sufficient for me to copy this file to my computer? Im talking about backing up the backup (heh) ...
Also, is it ok that files cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar and system.ext4.tar are 0mb? Thanks!
EDIT: I tried moving a backup folder to my pc, making factory reset, copying it back to where it was and restoring - everything works fine. Although I dont get why google messed the sw insides so much - my Nexus S seems to be much better in the matter of directory tree - and doesnt wipe all my files when doing stock restore from PC ...

It is a nandroid backup with cwm recovery which you have to be installed first in your phone
Just extract the rar and copy the ota directory in the clockworkmod/backup directory in your phone.
Enter in recovery mode and restore the ota directory
do wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache
reboot

If I don't have that folder, I would have to create a new folder on my external sd card named "clockworkmod" and inside the "clockworkmod" folder, I would have to create another folder named "backup" and inside the "backup" folder, I would put the "OTA" folder into the "backup" folder correct?
And then I would go into recovery mode and "restore from backup on external sd" correct? But just to be safe, what if CWM doesn't recognize the backup?

Hi, rodfrang! Was wondering if this nandroid backup for the 2.25.1402.1 build already includes google play and the blinkfeed updates for facebook, twitter, etc?
also, do i have to perform other things like s-off, relock, etc?
i currently have android 4.2.2 with 2.17.1402.2 build which i downloaded though bgncn's nandroid file.
thanks!

Is a stock backup nandroid and does not have google play and you have to patch blinkfeed.
Always do s-off if you can, but it is no necessary for install this nandroid backup.

I want to get to a position where I can get the EU ROM installed with the guide available on this forum, but I am currently stuck as I have a rogue Kernel installed from too much playing around that will not let me install OTA or RUU's. This is the last thing I can think of to get me "unstuck"

Thnkas, in fact that is entirely what I am trying to do, it's just this rogue kernel stopping me from doing anything.
One thing I have just thought of, as nobody seems to have a full nandroid backup .......
Is it possible to remove the image file (which I believe contains the kernel) from a nandroid backup and replace with a known good stock image file?
I'll bite... A bit of a kerfuffel upgrading from ARHD 51 to 52. But, I'd taken a backup of the 51 image and ported it to my laptop using the ROM Manager download server. However, when I try to restore the file (by installing the ZIP it created), it fails on me. Am I doing something wrong? There's no option in ROM Manager to restore the ZIP file. Anyone have this problem and knows how to resolve it?
And yes, I know this may not be the optimal place for this thread, but frankly I can't find a better place. Just looking for someone who may have an idea to help
TIA

Well, you can just copy/paste the backup zip onto your pc. Re-transfer it to THE CORRECT DIRECTORY on the internal storage of the One. If you have, it will restore perfectly. I've tried a TWRP backup, that worked like a charm. NO reason why CWM would be different.
