I can't seem to get the CWM file [CWM .img file] to write to my sd card. Have tried it with a mac using an old phone as an adapter, on a mac with converter, and on a pc with converter. Keep getting a message saying there isn't enough room on the sd card. It's a 4Gig card formatted in FAT32. Any suggestions?

EDIT: tried using 2 different cards with the same results :(

Slight update to the guide to reference the CM 7.2 builds that mrg666 has posted for those that want something a little fresher. According to the #nookcolor crowd the latest 12/22 build is solid.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get the Nook to boot from the SD card. I followed the directions perfectly (twice) and when I power on the Nook it always boots normally instead of booting into Clockwork. I'm using a brand new Nook on 1.4...any thoughts?
[Nook Color General] vwimports:
In a a little bit of a panic fellas.. Followed all of the instructions found in the Barnes & Noble Nook Color: Full Update Guide

Got to the point where I am suppose to d/l and copy cm7/google apps to the root of the SD card. When I attempt to do this it says I don't have enough space. It's a 16gb card and when I go to check the properties of the card it says I only have 39.1 MB* of space. I have no idea what I did wrong or how to get the card to show 16 GB of space again. Any help would be appreciated...
[Nook Color General] akenis:
Brand new card? Look at it with a file manager and see what's on it. You could use a PC. Delete files and format it for a clean start.

Did u already make it a bootable card?

Been a while... download all the files you need, make it bootable with the .img file, then copy all needed files.

You can use the smaller 1 gb img file I believe.
[Nook Color General] vwimports:
Yeah a new card but when i delete the files and format it still only shows 39MB capacity.. I made a bootable card when i put on the uNooter image.. If I could at least get my card to format and show 16 gb capacity I could start over but I cant even do that...
[Nook Color General] rnclock:
Don't Fret.... Happens to the best of us. Read the attached forum (link) and pay close attention to post #6. There are many other posts here and there that discuss the issue with resizing of cards. Hope this helps..

When i put the SD card into the nook my nook no longer boots, ie. it wont turn on. What did I do wrong?

EDIT: the nook boots fine without the sd card in and if i put the card in after it boots the nook recognizes it and i can see all of the necessary file.
[Nook Color General] gavram:
I'm pulling my hair out trying to get this to work but I just can't get the stupid Nook to boot from the SD. Can someone please validate the steps that I'm taking? I'm using a new Nook color running 1.4.

1. 2gb microSD formatted using FAT32

2. 1gb CWM 3.2.0.1 sdcard image downloaded and extracted using 7zip then burned to SD using Win32diskimager. SD card shows up in Explorer with name "BOOT" and has the following files: mlo, u-boot.bin, uImage, uRamdisk

3. encore_CM72-MiRaGe-12122011 & Google apps files downloaded and copied to SD

4. Nook powered off completely and SD card inserted

5. Nook powered on...and it then boots to the normal Nook OS!

When I view the SD contents via the Nook OS it shows that the files listed above are on the card. Any thoughts on what I'm missing?
[Nook Color General] rnclock:
A buddy of mine had the same problem. It turned out that he had to run the program in “ADMIN” mode and use an external reader/writer to get the card to work correctly.

Found on step #2 at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030227

2. Extract the clockworkmod .img (if you can't open the file use 7zip)and burn to sdcard using win32diskimager (free) or winimage (shareware). These apps will need to be "run as administrator." If you're not sure how to do this see step 3 here. ***Some internal laptop/desktop readers will not work to do this, you may need an external USB reader if you run into problems.***

Hope this helps.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
There have been a *few* reported cases of nooks not booting from sdcards at all, although I'm not sure how or why. Might want to see if you have another reason to get it exchanged. Of course, triple check you followed the instructions first.

Excellent guide

This is the quickest, easiest guide I have found. I have spent weeks looking at different guides on different forums and everyone is different and all seem to be missing some info but this one is spot on. Thank You
[Nook Color General] plasticarmyman:
ok....61 pages is wayyyyy too many

I apologize right now for this.....

but what about Rooting?....does this process include rooting a NC?...i just bought a NC and it is coming in the mail in a couple days so I welcome this guide...but I was wondering if this process rooted the NC as well.....

proceed to flame and ridicule me for this...
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
CM7 comes rooted already. So if you do install it to emmc, you are good to go. Nothing else needed.
[Nook Color General] plasticarmyman:
Thank you...now i just have to wait until it comes in the mail....siiiggghhhhhhhhh

this will be my first android device, after owning and modding the f**k out of 4, that will be able to flash CM :) i am excited
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Guide updated to include CM9 links! Give it a shot :D
[Nook Color General] velizet:
I did..

NC looses wifi connection after it goes to sleep. settings-wifi-scan does not help. It shows the home wifi in the same room as "not in range". Have to reboot so that it will see the wireless again. I am using the 20120116 version. installed on top of CM7 nightly253.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Wifi is definitely flakey in CM9, if you go over to the USER discussion thread I linked to in the guide, you may be able to find some tips to help :)

Problem with install CM7

I tried installing CM7 using your instructions on my son's Nook Color (previously activated at B&N). This is our first attempt to install any version of CM. I downloaded and installed encore_kernel_gcc454_SODfix_mod.zip and gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip as you instructed. Everthing went smoothly. When I rebooted the Nook and started the registration process it hit the "Enabling WiFi" screen and just stuck there. Any thoughts on what went wrong?
[Nook Color General] rnclock:
When first registering the device, it will hang on the wifi screen because it has not been connected to wifi yet. This could take several minutes for it to pass. Once it fails, you can click on the wifi button and connect to your wifi, then register again and it should go through.
[Nook Color General] wasnt:
Is this guide still a complete guide for someone with an older (one year old) NookColor running 1.4.1? My device is not rooted. Do these instructions include rooting or is that separate set of steps?
[Nook Color General] Benzoman:
Yes. All of your questions should be answered yes. Except rooting is not a separate step. I wouldn't bother with the partition guide in the second post.
[Nook Color General] wasnt:
How does rooting work then? I don't see anything about how/when the device is rooted. Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm new to the NookColor. I'm used to rooting process on the evo/evo 3d.
[Nook Color General] Benzoman:
It roots it during the install. I don't really know the details, but have used this method to install cm7 and I have root for sure.
[Nook Color General] nook711:
@wasnt - This guide is complete and up to date as of the 16th, I personally used it yesterday to install cm9 to my emmc.
[Nook Color General] MISRy:
CM7 by definition, does not need rooted because when it is running you are root.

Think of it this way, when running Windows in a corporate environment, on a domain, you need permission to install the slightest little thing and even need permission to go to certain websites. They have root access to the Windows domain. At home when running Windows you have complete and total control over your, non-domain environment, Windows. *You* have root access. When you boot to CM7 you are choosing to boot an OS that inherently assumes the operator wants root access to the device.

When they have root, they fix whatever breaks. When you have root, you are free to break whatever you wish. ;)
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Can someone with a brand new (bought in Dec/Jan new from B+N directly) nook color confirm whether the 7.20 rom from mrggg has a working touchscreen?

Edit: Your serial number should start 2012- 2013- or 2014- if it's a newer nook. (2010- or 2011- is the older version).
[Nook Color General] slickie88:
Mine was purchased in-store in mid December and I've been successfully running Mirage since the first week in January. I never had any problems with the touch screen, but I'm not sure how to tell if mine is one of the "new" ones or not.

EDIT: I just found the post that tells how to confirm whether or not you have the newer model based on serial number. Based on that, mine's one of the older models. Sorry for the confusion. :/

Hey eyeballer ... I just CM7'd a blue dot NC thanks to these clear instructions :) So far, everything is running well.

When I tried to install CWM on EMMC, I hit "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery," and got only "Unsupported Device" ... no Nook Color. What have I done wrong?
[Nook Color General] jmh816:
I am having this same problem. I went ahead and booted to recovery, made a backup thingy (forgive my nooby vagueness) and did it that way. But it would be nice to know in what way I initially messed up and how to fix it.
[Nook Color General] mr72:
I am getting the same problem on a new NC, just flashed the KANG CM7.20 1/23 build onto it.

Using the ROM Manager built into the CM7.10 stable, there is not this problem. However, the Nook Color is not listed, but there is more than just "Unsupported Device".

The current ROM Manager seems to have an issue.

I am looking for a version that will work correctly.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Hey guys,

This is nothing to do with CM7 or the builds you're using. It's a new "feature" that was added to Rom Manager over the past couple of days to "support, unsupported devices." It seems that nookcolor got removed as a supported device (probably because we don't have an IMEI). Hang in there, let me find a workaround or see if we can get it supported again.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
Interesting. I already had ROM Manager installed from many months ago and have since updated the app. I haven't tried updating the ROM with it since nightly 201 and my CWR is up to date. Did I just update myself out of a working ROM Manager? I get no error messages launching the app....

Aren't all non phone Android devices lacking in an IMEI?
[Nook Color General] mr72:
Yes, that seems to be the real issue.

The 4.8.1.3 version of ROM Manager works correctly, and the 4.8.1.4 (Jan 22) has this "feature".
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
OK, nothing to do with IMEI. But it is to do with the fact RM no longer gives us a list of devices to choose. We'll bring it up with koush and hopefully get it fixed soon. Will post when that happens.
[Nook Color General] vulcan4d:
I just bought my refurb Nook color today, and same problem. Rom Manager shows "unsupported device".

Also is it normal for the Nook to not allow you to do a factory reset from the privacy menu? I get some null error.

The only other issue I'm having is that the status bar force closes the moment I set up my Nook and restart. Everytime after that the status bar gives the force close error and later restarts the status bar. I've been trying to attempt to reflash and reset with no success. Searching for possible fixes now
[Nook Color General] brentb636:
I also get the Status Bar FC after trying the January builds of CM7.2 . I'm back at the Dec 2011 build, which doesn't FC on boot. Going to try some options on SD card booting with latest CM7.2 and see if I come up with anything.
[Nook Color General] vulcan4d:
For those who have the status bar force close error upon every boot, it's a simple fix but sadly not much talked about.

Simply enable the android unlock feature. Basically right now it is set up to skip the unlock feature when the screen wakes up, making you slide your finger to unlock it. In the tweak settings you can enable it again and voila fixed the problem
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Hey guys.. since we're still waiting on Koush to update RM, I put together a flashable zip that will install CWM to emmc. You can download it here http://tinyw.in/8m2c

Just flash with a bootable cwm card.

If you want to try TWRP recovery see this thread for all the flashable zips.
[Nook Color General] Starphish:
The zip worked perfectly. Downloaded CWM and backuped. Thanks!
[Nook Color General] nook711:
need some help

sorry to ask but i have looked everywhere and read everything i can to figure out what is wrong but to no avail:

i tried following these instruction to a "T" to install cm7.1 stable to my emmc and right after the loading screen it flashes and goes black but the back light is on, and it just sits there (waited 15 minutes or so still nothing every time). So, i have to start over using the stock 1.4 zip file to return to stock, registration, etc.

i know my cwm image is good or i wouldn't be able to install the return to factory zip.

I know this version of cm7 i have is a working version because i am running it on a sd card after failing to boot in emmc.

Got any suggestions?

** I got it, after repartitioning and reformatting the stock partitions! Maybe a bad boot partition, I don't know.
[Nook Color General] snow4less:

nevermind, just saw the rom update in the other thread...it was a bug...thought it was me messing up the flash.

eyeballer,

thanks for the helpful guide...got everything set up per directions, however, i am getting this force close warning window after every reboot or shutdown/turn on:

sorry!: the application Status Bar (process com.android.systemui) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again. force close

after i click force close, the system starts up, but no cm7 status panel/dock bar. the adwlauncher works, but the cm7 status bar is missing and i can't get it back on...so no home button, menu, back, search, time, date battery status...all gone

current installed apps: (new partition: 5gb apps/1gb media)

aldiko, dolphin browser hd, market, mx video layer, nook screen recalibrate, quickpic

tia, i'll read up on replies after work.
[Nook Color General] 360Razir:
How is this version different than the one from the Market? Is this a touch version?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
I don't think there is a CWM recovery on the market. You must be thinking of ROM Manager. Ordinarily ROM Manager will download a CWM for you, but for some reason the Nook Color has been dropped as a supported device. And if you did not already have it from a prior install, this is the best way to get it. It is the standard version for Nooks.

Nook freeze-ups

Hey, Benzoman,

I see that you're running CM7.2 -RC0 MiRaGe - KANG 02012012. Have you had any freeze-ups on that ROM?

I don't mean SODs, but rather you'll be working along fine and it suddenly locks up, requiring a reset.

Thanks,

Steve
[Nook Color General] 360Razir:
Yes, sorry, you are absolutely correct...I have had CWM for so long now I just think of ROM Mgr and CWM as one in the same. But, alas, it is not, as you stated. Thanks for keeping me honest :) I did, however, purchase the Touch Recovery from the Market for my Galaxy Nexus, as that was one of the options of paying for it from Koush. I was hoping we would get the same option for the NC at some point.

Also wanted to say that I am still using the tried-and-true "Nook Screen Recalibrate" (NSR) app from the Market. Seems to make a big difference for me with screen responsiveness and accuracy, especially with using Nova Launcher.

Stuck in Clockwork Recovery

I have followed instructions using a 1gb Lexar sd card and a 2gb Kingston. Nook is Model # BNRV200. Serial # begins 200512006... Software version is 1.3.0 MD5's verified.

Boots into cw recovery, but if I select any action the circle/arrow/hat logo pops up and just sticks. No .zip files can be accessed. Have to hold down power button to turn off. When I remove sd boots back into stock.

I have considered rooting, but first post indicates this is not necessary. Also considered updating stock to latest before attempting, but wanted to make sure this was not a mistake. Searched around quite a bit before posting, so I hope the answer is not obvious. Apologies to all if so. Thanks.

error while flashing

Hi

I am unable to flash CWM 3.2.0.1 or the rom. I get a error (status 7). I have read on other threads that this might be due to the version of CWM i have (5.x)

How can i revert back to 3.2.01

Thanks
[Nook Color General] k8108:
Scenario: I dropped my nook color last week and cracked the bezel and the volume buttons no longer worked. I purchased the extended warranty on my nook so called and got a replacement sent to me.

I have had my original nook for over a year. Rooted it as soon as I got it and have flashed numerous roms to emmc. I have also done this for 3 other nooks so am pretty familiar with the routine. I have used eyeballer's image and instructions successfully every time.

So, I got my replacement nook today. Popped in my sd card into the card reader (NOT the internal sd reader). Ran Win32diskimager as administrator and wrote eyeballer's 3.2.0.1 image to the sd card. Added zipped rom and gapps.

Placed the sd card in my nook. Pressed and held the power button. The screen with the skulls appeared and 'loading' flashed for a second or two, then disappeared. Nothing more. Pressed and held power button again. Again, 'loading' appeared, then disappeared and nothing else happened, no matter how long I held down or didn't hold down the power key.

Formatted sd card and wrote image, etc. again. Tried redownloading image. Used another sd card. Tried with TWRP. No luck. Nook still won't boot into recovery.

Using sandisk class 4 8 GB and 16 GB cards. They both work fine in my phone and the broken nook.

Next, formatted and wrote the image for racks11479 dual boot image for SD card. Again, the new nook color will not boot.

I used this boot from sd successfully with my broken nook for the past few days.

I read a post a few pages back on this thread about some nooks not being able to root. How would I know if I have one of them? Serial # starts with 2010.

And then, what do I tell B & N? 'Oh, by the way, the nook you sent me is unacceptable because it won't root?'

Sorry for the long post, but have I missed a step? Does anyone have suggestions or solutions for me? Help is very much appreciated.

Update: Well, after hours and hours of frustration and trial and error, it all boils down to the fact that I just needed to hold down power button until loading appeared. After loading disappeared, hold down power button again. Loading reappears again and disappears. Hold down power button again and recovery screen appears. Wierd!
