[Q] Reverting Nook Color HELP PLEASE

So I bought a used (barely) nook color off of craigslist today for 200 with a screen protector and 8 GB transcend class 6 microSD. The guy I bought it from had his google account on it though so I tried to remove it. Basically I did the imaging through terminal (i cantp ost a link) and put the new stuff on and now it says my memory stick is damaged (even though it mounts on my computer) and it freezes my NC whenever it is in
I'm basically wonder, HOW CAN I GET MY CM7 2.3 NC to reset itself so I can put my own account on it. I have searched but can't find anything that good, as I have clockwork, but the rom is installed ON the NC internal, not on the microSD...Please help me out in some kind of step by step way. I rooted my droid eris myself, but starting with it pre-rooted has messed me up.

You should have ROM manager on there already. Reflash CM7 and wipe data...should take you to a fresh install.

So what step do I start out if I have clockwork mod on there already? I dont have recovery though.

Go into your programs and open ROM Manager (this assumes that you already have clockworkmod installed). Make sure that you have a micro SD card in the Nook with your desired CM7 build (either nightly or stable). Then Click on Install ROM from SD Card. Click on the ROM that you want to flash. It will then give you the option to Backup Existing ROM and/or Wipe Data and Cache. Go ahead and select Wipe Data and Cache. Hit OK and the Nook will do the rest automagically. (ROM Manager may request Superuser status, go ahead and grant it or it will not work). After you regain control, you should have a fresh, clean install of CM7 to work from.

[Q] Problem with rooted Nook and ROM Manager

Hi all,
I hope this is the right place to put this - I'm not sure if it's a Nook Color, Cyanogenmod, ROM Manager, or Clockworkmod issue. I just rooted my NC to CM7 using Clockworkmod and it seems to work fine. I tried installing the GoogleApps .zip file at the same time. It said it was successful, but I don't see any of the Google apps in the apps drawer.
So, I went to ROM Manager to try and fix this. When I first opened ROM Manager it said I needed an SD Card installed to use it (I had removed it after the successful flash). So I inserted the card and mounted it in Settings->Storage and tried again. Now when I click on anything it says "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install the recovery through ROM Manager first."
If I click the Install button, the dialog closes and nothing happens. If I click the menu option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" the title of the screen (ROM Manager v4.2.0.0) flashes for a split second. That's it. Nothing is installed.
If I reboot while holding the upside-down U button I eventually get an "Update failed!" screen that looks like it comes from the standard Nook UI. If I try to reboot into recovery using the Power button it just reboots as normal.
I've found a large amount of resources online regarding the "unable to reboot into recovery" issue, but I feel like I don't know enough about what I'm actually doing to implement them. I also don't know how the inability to flash ClockworkMod fits into this. It's especially strange how selecting the option to flash it actually does nothing.
Anyone have ideas?

Question, did you have clockworkmod installed on your sd when you flashed cm7 or was it installed internally? Can you boot into recovery with rom manager? If clockwork is on sd, find the newest clockwork zip and flash it with your card internally. That should allow you to update to the newest version in Rom Manager. Try reflashing gapps.

Clockworkmod was installed on the SD card.
I cannot boot into recovery using ROM Manager. It just restarts the device as normal.
I believe I have the latest CWM because I grabbed it from their website yesterday (4.2.0.0). How do I flash it internally? That's what I was attempting to do with ROM Manager. I followed the steps listed in thread #922870 on this forum (still can't post links) and I believe that results in CWM on internal memory, but ROM Manager still behaves the same way.
I did reflash gapps twice, but there is still no Maps, Market, Gmail, etc.

I just noticed something else. When I mount my SD card on the NC it shows up as empty: /mnt/sdcard has no contents. Does this indicate an error with the SD card and/or partitions? I am using the 8 GB image of CWM on my 16 GB card (because there is no 16 GB version).

Your SD card has clockwork burned as an image which the nook cannot read. You can format the card later for use (go to nookdevs website). I am attaching a zip file for clockworkmod 3.0.1.0 (credit goes to Mistar Muffin). Put that on your SD card, insert it into the nook and boot it up. It should take you into recovery. You can then flash the zip file and get Clockworkmod on your emmc. You should be able to update to the new version 3.0.2.8 from Rom Manager at that point. I think the nook is confused with the absence of Clockwork internally. As far as your rom goes, I would boot into recovery when the Clockworkmod issue is resolved and reflash the CM7 build, reboot, go back into recovery and flash the gapps. You can repeat the process with an overclocked kernel if you choose. This zip is a file that floated around the forum for awhile. It was removed when Clockworkmod got an update. I have used it on my nook. It should be safe. Good luck

Thanks for your help; unfortunately this did not work. Nothing has changed. I placed the zip file in my SD card that already has CWM imaged. I went to "Install zip from SD card" and installed the zip. It completely successfully. Then I rebooted and entered ROM Manager, which told me I needed the SD card back in. I mounted the SD card and am encountering the same issues as before.
What could I have possibly done to mess this up? I followed all the steps listed on the Cyanogenmod website and they never mention anything about flashing CWM internally. Another question - why do I need the SD card for ROM Manager if that app is downloading things from the internet?
Thanks!

How would I reinstall ROM manager? I don't have any sort of Market on the device.

Best best bet is going back to stock and trying from scratch

Sorry, my bad. I forget that Rom Manager is part of the CM7 package. You should not need the sd card for Rom Manager to work properly. I am not sure why it is calling for it. Can you reboot into recovery with the power+n method, not the SD card? If you can do that, it tells me clockwork installed correctly. If you can get there, I would do your formats (data, system) and reflash the rom. Another option, if Titanium Backup is part of the rom package try to wipe data in rom manager and give it another try. You may can do that in manage applications (I don't have my nook with me). The link below may or may not help. Look at option 3. The 3.0.1.0 zip it is calling for is the one I sent you prior. I am about out of options. Good luck.

AHA! I solved it, and it wasn't directly an issue with anything except my stupidity. I was connecting to my company's guest wireless, which as it turns out requires a username/password before you get anything other than the login screen. That is why the ROM manager was failing to flash itself - it had a worthless wifi connection. When I switched to another wireless access point it works just fine.
Thanks for your assistance bdcrim! Sorry it wasn't a more satisfying conclusion.

Thats okay, glad you got it going. Made me dig a bit, which probably helped both of us be a little more educated for future issues. Have a great day.

need help, nook is all messed up--solved

I use the SD card method to have the nook boot into CM7 and when the SD card is pulled, the nook would be stock to be used by my kids. But I think I messed things up and can't restore. Here is what I have done:
1- I tried to update the stock version to 1.3 manually from B&N website but soon realized I could not. It seems like when in CM7, I had tried to flash CWM recovery (which was not needed and is pretty buggy in SD card method for nook). Now the recovery in emmc appears to be CWM.
2-for some stupid reason when I got into CMM recovery, I formatted boot, system,data and cache (not sure if I did boot also or not). My thinking was to flash a stock image and be fixed. But I am now stuck.
Is there a way to go back to stock on the nook? I am still able to boot into SD card and CM7 nightly. Oh ya, I use Linux Ubuntu not windows. TIA

Sounds like you should get the system back to stock before proceeding any further.
Follow the instruction here: http://www.nookdevs.com/NookColor_UnRooting

The problem is that I get into the CWM recovery and not given the reset option following the options on that page. Any idea?
I think my problem is that I'm not really rooted in true sense since I was running off the SD card. Maybe I shoudl root properly, then unroot?

I did kind of the same thing once. I made an Sd card image with CWM on another sd card -- basically as if you are going to install CM7 to emmc. However, once you get to the point where you would flash Cm7, use the stock zip ROM. It will install that to emmc so it will be back to normal. You should then be good to go.

If you follow the instructions you should be left with an unrooted initialized stock Nook Color. Register your account. Then you can wait for the NC to download the 1.3 update, or side load it. Once that is installed you have an unrooted 1.3 stock system.
From there you can try your CM7 card. Don't forget to remove your SD card at the very beginning since like a PC the NC will try to boot off the SD card if it is present.

when I follow the instruction, I am not given the factory reset option. I am stuck at the n screen. It flashed the read forever but then stuck at the n screen. Do I have to wait longer than 5 minutes?

None of this is mine, I owe it ALL to the threads mentioned below.
So as in many posts on XDA say, it's almost impossible to brick the Nook. What a great device. I had to format my SD card to use it to "un-brick" my nook but it was done. I Mainly used the info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
Burnt a bootable CWM image onto my SD card. It took a while doing it with dd in Linux. I'm sure it's the same in Windows or Mac. It took about 20-30 minutes. It also took a while to unzip/extract the img file from the downloaded file. Be patient
Then used the CWM recovery remover file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690 to remove my CWM recovery and used the 1.0.1 file from same thread to flash the stock image onto the nook.
Once the SD card is ready, just drop those files in the root of the sd card. It should have 4 other files in it to boot into CWM recovery from the sd card and let you use the menus to flash those two zip files. It took a while but it's all in those threads. Thanks to the members. Now lets see if I can go up to 1.3 and then root it again.
you also need to do this

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)?

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.

[Q] Nook HD+ Install issue Status 7

Hi Guys, needing a bit of help to see if I can get my Nook HD+ back up and running.
A little background. Nook is 2013 model. Has worked pretty well in past, had added files last year to allow access to Play and flash, worked well, so I came back here when my nook went to the 99% reboot screen and has locked up there. B&N can't seem to help any. None of my computers will recognize the nook, so I can't sideload the NPK update that they said might fix the nook. So after laughing at their offer of an extra 10% off an ereader or the new Samsung, I decided to try changing to CM's Ovation. Have tried to follow Leapinlar's thread on installing CM and have tried 10.2,10.1 and a version of 11 along with another d/l of 10.2 from another poster.
I can boot from the SD card, but with really no currently working ROM, I need to use the install to internal version.
So I've used SD formatter on the SD card, copied over the files in order listed and then booted to the card.
Did a backup and restore, worked
did wipe data and factory reset
then install from sd card,
the system then gives me an error when installing the CM files:
Set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/CM XXXX (no matter which CM I pick)
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any idea as to how I can resolve this?
I'm at a loss and can't find resolution.:crying:
Thank you!!

What recovery exactly are you using to try and install CM? The one you boot from SD card? What version is it?
Some recoveries are too old to install CM11, for example. I suggest you install TWRP 2.7.1.0 as internal recovery on your Nook. You can download it here. Just put that TWRP zip file onto your bootable SD card, boot the HD+ and install the zip file. Then remove the SD card and format it, or use a different one that isn't bootable. Put the CM11 install zip file onto the card, insert it, and boot the internal recovery by holding the "N" button and powering up the tablet. Keep the N button pressed until the TWRP splash screen shows. If TWRP doesn't boot, then something went wrong. If it does boot, you can try and install CM11 with it.

I can boot from the SD card, but with really no currently working ROM, I need to use the install to internal version.
So I've used SD formatter on the SD card, copied over the files in order listed and then booted to the card.
Did a backup and restore, worked
did wipe data and factory reset
then install from sd card,
the system then gives me an error when installing the CM files:
Set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/CM XXXX (no matter which CM I pick)
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any idea as to how I can resolve this?
I'm at a loss and can't find resolution.:crying:
Thank you!!

Yes, as the prior user said, you are using the wrong version of CWM to install the CM zip. CM10.1 and CM10.2 need v6028 or v6036. CM11 needs v6046. You can get them from the dummies thread linked in my signature.

What recovery exactly are you using to try and install CM? The one you boot from SD card? What version is it?
Some recoveries are too old to install CM11, for example. I suggest you install TWRP 2.7.1.0 as internal recovery on your Nook. You can download it here. Just put that TWRP zip file onto your bootable SD card, boot the HD+ and install the zip file. Then remove the SD card and format it, or use a different one that isn't bootable. Put the CM11 install zip file onto the card, insert it, and boot the internal recovery by holding the "N" button and powering up the tablet. Keep the N button pressed until the TWRP splash screen shows. If TWRP doesn't boot, then something went wrong. If it does boot, you can try and install CM11 with it.

I have tried to follow the thread instructions and used what appeared to be matching installers, if I didn't, I did see error for not matching. I'll go and try above recovery. Got to probably get another sd card.

Tried all three of these in that order. none worked. I'll go try above and see if it will work.
