Is there a way to get rid of the clockwork mod boot on the nook color
As per onstuctions on this site, I got a 1.1 pre roote version and installed it
from the sd card with the clockwork menu which informed me that the
"NookColor" install complete.
when I reboot, it starts with the welcome message,but then only reboots into the same recovery menu.
At this point I would just like to go back to a stock rom, but cannot boot anything but the recovery.
By the way, I can boot froyo from the sd card
Please help me
I've moved your thread to the correct forum.
So you dont have the CWR sdcard in? Because if you did, you would need to remove that first. Sorry if this dumb, but thats all I can think of right now. Maybe reflash the 1.1 pre rooted rom? Or follow the instructions in Samuelhalff's "Easily restore to stock" thread located here in the Nook forums.
The "Easily restore to stock" saved the day. I am now up and running.
Thanks
How did you do that? I have CWR on mine and I went to buy a book from the shop on the Nook and it downloaded and installed 1.1... Now when I try to go back and restore from backup CWR doesn't respond... All it does is sit there and if I select something from the menu it goes to the background image (the circle with the top hat) and sits there. I would like to remove this so I can reroot my Nook...
Thanks for any help.

See the other thread or sticky that's labeled "How to Restore to Stock easiliy." I believe you can also use the power down and on 8 times trick to restore to stock as well.
Same thing happened to me. I used Clockwork to flash the CWR-removal.zip on the restore thread mentioned above and it fixed my boot, everything else was OK.

Ditto that. I reinstalled CW and everything seems to be working fine. Has anyone else had issues with using Rom Manager on the NC? I've had to go back to stock twice whenever I've used it.
I had a problem when trying to roll my 1.1 rooted NC back to stock because I futzed it up that I ended up in a CWR loop. 8 resets didn't get me a reflash, it got a recovery. Took me finally getting the NC flashed and rerooted at 1.1 a second time when I reinstalled ROM Manager and ended up with the problem again. Took me this wasted effort to realize that CWR runs in lieu of the reflash if CWR is installed and that's an obvious problem when I wanted a reflash and not restore a different backup.
There is a thread with a zip that CWR can run that blasts CWR off and reflashs stock and getting that done put me back both times I messed up above.
Seems to me that perhaps the whole "can never brick" response when people ask for help needs to have an addendum about how CWR gets in the way of an 8 reboot reflash and provide guidance on how to get that update file and use it instead to get back to square one. (Plus some advice on when to clear caches and data partitions to avoid weirdness later).
Now rerooted on 1.1 with no ROM Manager running but I'm missing the nandroid bacjup capability, so maybe I reinstall but stay away from the recovery option until I need it?
I reinstalled CW after I rerooted 1.1 and have had no problems with it so far, but I also haven't tried to backup or anything since the first time (which initially got me into this mess).
I do think you're right about having some sort of addendum thrown in. I was running circles around the XDA forums for a few hours trying to find some sort of fix the first time my Nook started acting weird. The 8-reboot trick just wouldn't work, and my battery was more or less drained because CW was interfering. Maybe this is just understood by most, but it certainly would have saved me some time (and some gray hairs) if someone had mentioned it earlier.
So what is the conclusion of this thread? I have a new NC, updated to 1.1 and installed AutoNooker 3.0, immediately installed Clockwork and did a NAND backup... bad thing is that it won't boot off the eMMC anymore, only CW.
I can boot roms off of the SD card (ie Honeycomb) but this isn't want I want. I've downloaded and flashed several roms but its looped at CW. So the rom isn't the problem.
If we can't install Clockwork Recovery, then how can we flash new roms to the eMMC?
[UPDATE]
Found a flashable file which removes Clockwork Recovery.
http://www.etoile-laconnex.com/CWR-removal-rootsafe.zip
After I flashed that I am now booting off the eMMC froyo rom. Nice! Saved me from Restoring it, updating it, and reRooting it.
[UPDATE 2]
Well while it worked initially, it loaded the homescreen and reset. Now it is stuck at the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen with no Recovery... which worse off. Now I have to make a CWM bootable SD, flash the restore, and start over. Nice.
[UPDATE 3]
Finally got it back to stock after hours. I found a "MonsterPack" here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870
Even this was more complicated then it needed. I had to download the 128mb RootPack image, and get it going so I can grab the needed root files. Then download the right size Clockwork image for my memory card and get it going. The end result ended in a Clockwork SD card. Then I made a "sdcard" folder from where I added the rootpack files and the stock image 1.0.1 flashable zip file.
Format the system and boot partitions, then flash the stock zip.
I just upgraded stock to 1.1, then will proceed to boot off the microsd and root, install GAPPS, etc.
I wish I knew of a great custom rom to flash. I flashed Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 and it powers down immediately (several complaints about this). Maybe CM7?

I'm having this problem as well, but I can't seem to do anything to fix it. I was running 1.1, and auto-nootered using v3.0. Everything was hunky dory until I installed CWR. I flashed, shutdown, restarted, then chose to perform a backup which brought me down into CWR and I was never able to get out. I used the Monster pack zip to remove CWR, and now I boot to the "n" screen and sit forever. I tried the 8 hard resets and it said it installed on two different occasions, but still I sit on the "n" screen during boot. I tried the 1.0.1 restore zip as well, but to no avail. What do I need to do to get back up and running?
CW Recovery only
So I flashed my NC with both the pre-dualboot and the dual-honeycomb rom, but every time I reboot with the SD card inserted, it only boots to CW recovery. When I take it out..it boots to NC stock OS.
Am I suppose to remove clockwork recovery with the CW-removal zip? I tried that.. once it rebooted it went right back to CW. Should I be using two different SD cards? One for CW recovery and one to load the eMMc?
So confused...
What I need to know is what should be on the SD card after everything is flashed.
Mw : you could use a bootable cwr sdcard and flash 'emmc recovery repair', then format data and restore your backup.
Ehamonn: you have to remove cwr from the sdcard. Format should do the trick. But you'll loose the data on it..

Do I need to keep a boot image on the card after I format?
Well, if you only want to boot from internal memory, no.
I installed the AWESOME Cyanogen v7 ROM, which makes the Nook an even nicer experience than the stock rooted ROM. I got into a bit of trouble though and had to do a restore and reinstall. I went into ROM Manager, and choose "Reboot into recovery" which brought me into Clockwork Recovery. I could not get out! Every time I rebooted, I ended up back in and could not for the life of me figure out how to boot back into normal Cyanogen. Is this a bug, or did I miss something?
Thanks

Run the file I attached from a CWR bootable Sd card.
(It might work just from the normal cwr, but im not sure)
It will remove your CWR install.
Then it should boot back into cm7.
AFAIK, people are having this issue when they dont reboot after flashing cwm, then trying to go into recovery immediately after flashing.
No idea why it does this, but try rebooting the nook before trying to go into recovery once you flash it again in Rom Manager.
I tried to flash CWM10 into my Samsung Galaxy I9000 Device And here's what happened:
I got into the CWM Recovery screen and chose install from sdcard (after a wipe data + wipe cache factory ofcourse).
Everything seem to go OK, no errors or special things, but when I restarted the device to boot into Android OS, it just came back to the CWM Recovery screen.
Since then, I have tried to install many other ROMS and the phone simply won't boot to android OS.
I have also noticed that usually after a successful ROM flash, folders are created in the internal SD card a thing which DID NOT happen this time.
The only difference that the new ROMS installation does is change the CWM Recovery version/Mod.
So basically, I am stuck at CWM Recovery Screen.
I am clueless and I will really appreciate any thing you can.
Any thoughts?

Hello everyone
So I have fully rooted phone which I've been using for a long time with CM10.1, I just wanted to flash cwm from 6.0.3.1 to same version with cwm touch support but I couldn't because of many errors in ADB and other programs like All in one tool kit and others. So again, I got an error that I couldn't flash a new cwm, I don't know why but I thought of unlocking boot loader again.... that was really stupid, why I had to do that I don't know I thought the errors would go away... but now I have some crappy old lg logo which I had a year ago like I just bought a phone, now I cant get past or even see CM boot logo, just the red old lg logo. So I guess that's what is called boot loop? Its not first time I got this problem and fixed it somehow, but now I don't know what to do because I cant even get into cwm, the only way to get in there is to flash cwm again and if I power off my phone the combinations of cwm doesn't work, so that's why I need to flash again so that it could launch cwm automatically. Did I messed up my boot partitions or something ?
Things I have:
6.0.1.5 cwm from nv flasher
CM10.1 a new nightly in my phones internal memory (I install them like 2 times a week through cwm without problems) which I thought could fix everything by installing a rom with not messed up system files (I've put it into phone before this problem occurred)
but I cant install any zip from sdcard like I did every time before because it sais E:Cant mount /sdcard/ (WHAT???)
I don't have any backups -_-
internal and external memory which are both full and cant access in cwm by pressing mount usb storage, it doesn't work..... So it means I cant make a backup in cwm.
Things I want to do:
Get back to phones previous state. I think its possible because its not like I have erased the data, I just messed up boot partitions, yes ?
I also don't want to loose my data on sdcard/emmc or what ever its called. (on my phone both internal/external memories are called sdcard). Ofcourse if there is a way to somehow make a backup without cwm then Its okay if loose my data, then I can do a factory reset.
Maybe I cant install zip from sdcard because this cwm is bad? Will a newer version also say that I cant mount sdcard (I never had this problem in any cwm's that I have used).
I hope someone can suggest me something . If I wrote something not clear or haven't said some details, tell me I'll try to explain.
!EDIT: Ok I've managed to fix that lol.
Things that I've done:
used All in one kit option called "flash stock rom" (even if I have already a custom rom, not stock ) then installed older cwm, it was version 5 it had a good working "mount usb storage" so my pc recognized the phone and I placed new CM rom into my sdcard (external). So after I flashed the rom, installed cwm5, I fixed permissions just in case, then deleted cache partition and dalvik cache, then installed that CM rom, somehow it still had an old boot logo and was still stuck in boot loop, then again after I used All in one kit and flashed stock rom I saw my new lg logo (black and white, not the broken one with red lg circle) so I just normally booted up phone from cwm and I have everything back without any data loss.
I had installed cyanogen mod 10.1 on my bionic and i wanted to try other roms since i was getting very weak signal on this one. So i tried several times using safestrap on rom - slot 2 since on the stock rom i have the stock rom and on rom slot 1 i have 10.1. I found a rom that states that it gets good signal once you apply a gsm patch and some other stuff but i didn't ge to do that. It said to install bootstrap. so i did. But what i shouldn't have done is mess around with that now my phone won\t boot to fsafestrap so i can restore and when it boots i get Unsuccessful Encryption and a reset button but it stays on that loop.
is there any way i can recover my safestrap installation or how can i go about reseting or installing everything to stock to start over.
I can't access my phone only the sd card. When i try to boot to recovery i get the dead android.
I have the backups folder i made with safestrap. Anyway can apply them manually? Or how can i install safestrap manually?
Please help
