Here's the pastebin link: pastebin.com/rCTxdX6U

It was taken right after I rebooted into recovery and did mounts and storage, format /data.

The format did something. When I rebooted into CM7 I had to sign into Android again and reinstall all my apps. But when I go Settings, Manage applications I still have too much data (400+ megs) in my 5 gb /data partition.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Thanks for getting back to us.. although nemith found the error and just updated us to 3.2.0.1 !

The updated image is in step 1 of the guide again, give it a shot and report back.
[Nook Color General] emerald181:
Well right now I'm running nightly 91 with the 5/23 kernel, and still having the same problems. I've been updating regularly with each nightly on the 5/23 kernel and I'm still having the same problem. And yes, I always wipe the cache and the dalvik cache before each new install.
[Nook Color General] The Flying Penguin:
I just want to say thank you for such a great guide! I've flashed and rooted devices before so it was extremely simple to follow, however, I imagine even a complete noob could follow these instructions. Great writeup!

Anyway I flashed the CM7 nightly 94 build along with Darlington's most recent kernel (May 23rd as of this post) and it went perfectly without a single hitch. Props to B&N for making the NC such a flash friendly device and not locking it down. They gained a customer because of that as the sole reason I bought this thing was to flash it and use it as a tablet.

And thanks to the CM7 team for your hard work and dedication! The difference running CM7 vs stock is night and day. It's like my e-reader died and got reincarnated as a tablet :p
[Nook Color General] Mikdet:
It's working great thanks for all your help!
[Nook Color General] RonindeBeatrice:
Help, I followed this and got a copy of my B&N on the dual boot partition, then I followed OP and installed the CM7 nightly ( 95 ), and then installed the

from the first thread I linked.

(multi)U-boot v.03 then displays, and cyanogen7 loads up, but then I repeatedly see the error

Is the u-boot built on B&N 1.2 not compatible with the 95 nightly? Which combo should I be looking for to retain my dual boot?
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Go post in the thread you linked to. As my OP states, no dual boot support here right now.
[Nook Color General] RonindeBeatrice:
Terribly sorry, I missed that line. I was actually up in the air about which of the threads to post in, but the fact that I couldn't post in the other section (on account of my newbie status) decided that for me.

Regardless, I did a system restore (not even certain what that really did) and everything is all better now...

I'm at a loss for what was wrong to begin with, but it's all working now.

Cheers, thanks for the guide.

Possible to upgrade to CM7 n95 with CWM 3.0.2.8 bootable sd card

Hi my NC has had the older partitions and is currently on CM7 n87. Just wanted to find out if I can use my CWM 3.0.2.8 bootable SD card to upgrade to the newer nightlies (n94/n95) or will I have to burn CWM 3.2.0.1 image onto my sd card and then try upgrading? I wouldn't have any problems doing it, just that I don't have a sd card writer at my disposal right now.
[Nook Color General] The Mad Mule:
Do we still have to flash the OC kernel as well when we update to the newest Nightly? I only ask that because I forgot to do so w/ the 95, and then when I checked under Settings, the option to OC was still there.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I assume that even though the option is still there, the settings won't actually "stick" unless the kernel has been flashed?

On a side note, I noticed that during the time I didn't have the OC kernel flashed, there was a third governor available, titled "On Demand"
[Nook Color General] liqn7:
The older one is fine and will still flash. I just did it yesterday :)
[Nook Color General] liqn7:
Yes, you will need to reflash the OC kernel after every nightly.

The option to OC natively only goes up to 925 MHz if I recall correctly, where as dal's will go to 1.2GHz.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
You don't need to use a CWM sd card at all if you followed this guide and installed CWM to emmc (through rom manager). Simply download the nightly and transfer it to your nook sdcard and then boot into recovery to flash it. See the end of the first post.
[Nook Color General] hungryTux:
I actually did read the complete post.. just that a prefer to keep the stock recovery on the emmc. I have a separate CWM sd card that i use to upgrade to newer nightlies.
[Nook Color General] Portugal. The Man:
11. Once you've flashed the files, from the clockworkmod main menu and "wipe data/factory reset"

Is that missing a word? After the files are flashed, go back to the main menu and select "wipe data/factory reset"?

I just want to make sure that is what I'm supposed to do.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Correct, and fixed.
[Nook Color General] zanderman112:
Cant wait to get a nook, and now i dont have to repartition it! Thanks for this great guide, im sure it will help lots of people. Now, as a suggestion: In my signature, is a link to qbking77's videos for the epic 4g. Those really helped me, cause i could see what to do instead of just read. Maybe you could check em out, and do some for the nook?
[Nook Color General] lechiffre:
Is there anything I need to do to update uboot the 1.2 version?
[Nook Color General] quepaso:
I got confused with that as well, 1.2 uboot is referring to the rom itself, so the newest B&N rom has 1.2 uboot, as does the newer CM7 nightlys. So its not something you have to do, just get a room with uboot 1.2 or up on it.
[Nook Color General] lechiffre:
Thanks, I already flashed N99 to check and it did give me the green CM7 boot logo so I went ahead and flashed Dal's OC kernel. Everything works perfect!

Out of curiosity is the CM7 u-boot in N94+ the same as B&N's 1.2 u-boot? Or is there some workaround involved in CM7's?
[Nook Color General] lanyao1920:
thanks, this is gonna to be helpful :)
[Nook Color General] pspTP:
I have a blue dot NC. I was planning to first run the repartitioning mod then the CM7 install. However I first did the repartitioning then I did the ManualNooter 4.5.25 (which I realise now was for stock 1.2), then I did the CM7. Now when I boot, the NC is hung up at the n color animation. Anyone can shed a light on what is wrong? THanks!
[Nook Color General] patrick0823:
i tried flashing the cm7 img and it says file not found
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Updated the guide to reflect use of nightly 102 (or onwards). At this point the new nightlies are very stable and have way so many improvements and fixes over 7.0.3 stable that it's not worth using anything else.

CM 7.1 RC1 is around the corner, possibly this weekend.

Also, there's a new gapps 6/13, so if updating to newer nightlies I suggest flashing that too since they're meant for android 2.3.4 (some background market changes).
[Nook Color General] lowetax:
i had flashed 102 OC and gaaps last night -

working good and it flys nicely !

a big shout out to eyeballer -

THANKS for the help in bringing me onboard the NC !

EDIT: you got that right steve33068 ! (next post)
[Nook Color General] steve33068:
Very nicely written

This procss worked very well. I didnt have one single issue. Thanks
[Nook Color General] akenis:
Thanks. Hey how do we know what changes are made... to Nightlies, gapps, and OC Kernel? That Kernel manager doesn't really list anything for me.
[Nook Color General] christoophat:
Installed nightly 102, 6/13 kernel , and dal's Nook Color Tool & it SINGS!! Still seem to have both wifi & Netflix issues, but other that that....VERY nice! NC goes into deep sleep easily . Thanks to all who work to make this better & better & better...
[Nook Color General] Jimbo67:
Can anyone tell me where to get the 6/13 gapps from? The link in this guide is for the 3/7 gapps.

Thanks
[Nook Color General] christoophat:
oy..I just noticed that too, looking at the zip on my desktop:confused:
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Ah was an issue with the site, just asked Snipa to fix it for us. That same link should always point to the latest gapps version. Try again.

By the way you can always go to goo-inside.me and find it that way.. or.. you know.. google it? :)
[Nook Color General] Jimbo67:
Thanks eyeballer!

Jimbo sheepishly retreats with tail between legs..........................................:o
[Nook Color General] christoophat:
troubleshooting, troubleshooting...:p..thanks eyeballer

btw, can I just flash over the newer gapps zip, or do we need to do a complete do-over?
[Nook Color General] rhester72:
I went right over the top, no issues.

Rodney
[Nook Color General] christoophat:
sweet, thanks!
[Nook Color General] n1n00b:
Maybe I'm just an idiot, but it looks like the CWM link in the OP is dead...
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
you're not idiot, try http://tinyw.in/0Vw (i removed the www).

Question for me now: are the nightlies completes rom (i mean, does it have all langage, i love my nook in french so...)
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Thanks for posting. kevank just adjusted some hosting on our end so I fixed the link in the OP.

Nightlies are full ROMs, I believe all languages should be there.
[Nook Color General] jasoraso:
Thanks for this summary post! Makes it very clear and simple!
[Nook Color General] harpo1:
Apparently I forgot to register my nook prior to using your guide. So my question is what's the best way to do it now?
[Nook Color General] harpo1:
Update I went back to stock 1.2. I have a blue dot nook color. It fails at the final step right after I sign in to my account. Is there something I can do or do I need to contact B&N? Thanks.
[Nook Color General] mrstangblb:
You guys are AWESOME

I've learned so much just in the couple of days that I've first rooted off an SD card and tonight because of that got brave enough to root internally. This thing is awesome. You guys are, too! Thanks for so much help (and so much fun).
[Nook Color General] harpo1:
Anyone have any ideas?
[Nook Color General] akenis:
Yeah...Kindle let's u register from amazon.com, but I just checked out b and n site and they just say to do it from the device.

Think u'd have to go to the OP and follow the steps for return to stock, and then register. If u have cwm installed, do back up prior, and restor when ur done. Prob take about 20 mins tho....
[Nook Color General] neoblood3d:
I've been running pretty slick from my SDcard but am getting very comfortable with CM7+OC so I'm thinking of going full on. What kind of benefit will I see from doing this? Is it a noticeable difference in speed and battery life? I have heard it both ways...
[Nook Color General] n0c:
Great..

This is the single most referenced thread (or should be). Thanks and keep up the good work :)
[Nook Color General] supermatt9:
Nope. You will lose all the default B&N apps.

Aldiko is a very good and free alternative readed that works great with epub files with no DRM on them.

If you have some B&N books that you've bought, you can download the nook app.

The only problem with the nook app is that it doesn't work with magazines like the stock nook reader does.

If that's not a big deal for you then I HIGHLY recommend the CM7 upgrade. I love it.
[Nook Color General] jahfry:
Does the OC kernel fix the sleep bug that is in CM7? I've been planning to upgrade to CM7 but since I figure it will be my last flash for awhile, I am waiting for that to come through first.
[Nook Color General] furius:
Why should I register the device to B&N before to follow this procedure and install CM7 on internal memory? with CM7 I can't use stock B&N ereader app, is it right? more I don't live in US so I can't access to B&N store...

so can I skip the register procedure? or is it required anyway?

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] richard98:
Thank you. Followed your guide last night and the installation went very smoothly.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
For you it may not be important, it's nice to have it registered if you ever need to call support or deal with exchanges as they can see when you bought/registered the device by the serial number.
[Nook Color General] robjective:
Regarding the installation, the CM7 stable file has the prefix "update", while the preceding nightly has the prefix "full". Should the "full" file be installed as a base, then update it to stable with the "update" file? I used the "update" file and I'm just bootlooping.

Edit: I did wipe system, data, and cache twice before install.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Ah, I see the confusion, CM 7.0 Final is labeled: update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip so yes, that's the one you should have used. I'll clarify in the OP.

As to why you are bootlooping, I'm not sure :) Did you definitely wipe by pressing N on the format cache option? (and not power, as you do on some phones).
[Nook Color General] robjective:
Yes, I even cleared everything twice because they recommend that with the Droid X. I went back and tried clearing the dalvik cache, too. Still looping, but I also installed the overclock and battery icons with the original install, so I'm going to reduce the number of things installed before first boot.
[Nook Color General] winterps:
thanks so much-you all are the greatest
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
My guess is the battery icons are the culprit (at least if flashing everything at once), but yes, start with just cm7 and gapps then keep going from there.
[Nook Color General] EverythingNook:
ya its the batteymod just tested it....
[Nook Color General] robjective:
Thanks for reporting back. I got it up and running with the minimal install and was just backing up before trying it.
[Nook Color General] EverythingNook:
ya i forgot to back up.... reflashing it now :P
[Nook Color General] lesdense:
"Battery mod"? I'm running CM7 RC4 and plan to upgrade to CM7 Final using the OP files and guide. Is the "battery mod" something that can't be wiped from the previous install or something in CM7 Final that can cause a problem or what? I'd love to get this right the first time!
[Nook Color General] EverythingNook:
the battery mod is a separate thread and zip, so everything is fine.
[Nook Color General] jawoo2006:
Bluetooth

I'm having some issues getting bluetooth enabled on my CM7. I've tried turning off wireless hard rebooting, fixed permissions ect... When I click the bluetooth icon it blinks and within a quarter of a second it turns off. It doesn't even have an icon that says it's trying to turn it on. Anybody have any ideas on what I can do to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I'm running on CynogenMod-7.0.0-encore
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
A gentle reminder, this thread should only be for discussion related to the guide itself. Any CM7 related issues should be discussed in the appropriate threads either in General or the Development forum.

PS: for bluetooth issues look here or post in general.
[Nook Color General] jmeuphonium:
I started reading about rooting and roms last night and came across your guide. I have a completely stock NC running 1.0.1. I'm gonna install CM7, but your guide says that root isn't necessary? Would I gain anything by doing Auto-Nooter first, then installing CM7 through your guide, or should I just follow your guide and everything will be fine?

Thanks a bunch for the walkthrough!!!
[Nook Color General] jahfry:
No, since your auto-nooter work will be erased by the CM7 install if you install to EMMC.

You might want to back up your stock ROM "just in case" (some hints here) so that you can revert to Stock if you ever decide to do that. But otherwise don't do anything else until you get your CM7 running.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Correct, auto-nooting is a waste of time if you plan to install CM7.

Also, if you're really just running bare bones stock without much customization, making a backup is a waste of time too (IMO of course) as it's just as easy to wipe and restore the stock rom (link is in Epilogue in the OP), but either way works.
[Nook Color General] harpo1:
I did follow the OP and I am trying to register from my nook.
[Nook Color General] akenis:
Well if ur on stock now you should be booting to welcome, watch a video and register....already have an account or set up a new one?

Try wipe data from cwm.... or reset from within b and n reader?

Make sure u are using cwm 3.2 something because it can format larger partitions.
[Nook Color General] harpo1:
Did all this as well. I get to the final step and it falis. Called B&N still can't get it to register.
[Nook Color General] akenis:
Silly question... do u have a good wifi connection? Try downloading a book or something. What does the screen say when u try to register?
[Nook Color General] dag16:
Stupid question, I bought a blue dot nook from the overstock deal, and it came with 1.2. This is stock 1.2, yes? I did the steps for rooting stock 1.2 and I think it worked, but the nook had power problems, so I had to unroot and get a replacement. Just want to make sure when I get my new one, that I'm doing the right way.

Thanks :)
[Nook Color General] harpo1:
Yes I tried two know good wifi connections. Can't get past the registration process to download anything. When I enter my email address and password in the final step it goes to barnes and nobles site to register than fails. It says to power off device and try again or call them.
[Nook Color General] akenis:
Well if everything works from cm7, but not from stock that's weird. Was thinking that maybe you could go back and repartition per links in OP? Prob ok tho if cm7 works.

Where did u get the nook? Maybe it was stolen, or is already registered or something? Did you ever call b and n? Or maybe you don't want to, but it's prob the right thing to do.
[Nook Color General] harpo1:
Not stolen. Bought from Overstock. It's a certified preowned. Called B&N and it's not registered to anyone. Overstock is sending me another, just wondering if anyone has had this problem and if there's a fix.
[Nook Color General] kamiller42:
Want to root

I installed cm7 per the instructions in the first post. It went really well.

Now, I would like to root. If I have implemented the steps in this guide, what is the best approach to rooting without bricking my blue dot nook? Just follow the instructions for manualnooter or something else?
[Nook Color General] hrizzy:
Root?

Done this at once. Great description, works smooth and nice. But... I can't get root. May be it's stupid, but all apps, requiring root are not working. 'su' in Terminal tells me 'permission denied'.

This is my first time CyanogenMod try, I used Froyo before. Did I do smth wrong?

Ooops, there is another happy user just 2 seconds ahead of me :)
[Nook Color General] imjimmy:
Choppy Youtube Videos...Please HELP!

First thanks everyone for putting this dummies guide. It's SUPER easy to follow.

I has Phiremod 6.1 previously. It used to work well, with not so great battery obviously.

Recently hopped on to the Cm7 nightly bandwagon. Wiped everything for a clean install. Formatted system, data, cache, Dalvic Cache.

Then installed Nightly 107 + 6/13 Gapps. Did NOT flash overclock kernel, since I don't want to overclock the nook.

I have the CPU at 925 MAX and 300 min.

Everything is SUPER except Youtube video playback. Almost all videos are choppy with frames slower than normal. (running youtube desktop site on miren browser).

I've tried EVERYTHING. Fixed permissions twice using ROM manager. Uninstalled, and reinstalled - browser, flash etc.

Then I went back to Nightly 102. No luck!

Can anyone please help? Is the choppy youtube video playback a known issue in CM7?

This NEVER happened to me in Phiremod 6.1, because I used to watch tons of tennis highlights on youtube and the playback was smooth..

Can I flash something else and make this problem go away?

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Hey guys, superuser is broken in the last couple of nightlies, just flash this in recovery after flashing the rom and you'll be all set.

http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
[Nook Color General] imjimmy:
Actually all my Root applications are working GREAT. This includes Titanium backup, root Explorer,Volume+, Rome Manager and some others.

I'm having problems only with youtube playback. Do I also need to flash the SU above again? Also do you recommend installing the OC kernel or is it ok for CPU settings of 900 Max and 300 min?

TIA.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Yes you may want to try the OC kernel. Altho some people are experiencing wifi issues with the latest cm7 and OC kernel. So you may want to step back to nightly 102+6/13 OC kernel if you have issues.
[Nook Color General] flu13:
When you say the last few nightlies, does that include the v7 test build available through ROM Manager? Or is it all good?
[Nook Color General] TheSapient:
I was given a Nook Color for Father's Day. I played with it for maybe a hour before finding and following the OP in this thread. Amazingly easy instructions to follow. Thanks! (Thanks button also used.)

I do want to ask about overclocking. I've never overclocked anything. Are their risks I should be worried about? Will I see much improvement if I use the CM7 OC? Will it be much better if I use the OC kernel? Will overclocking greatly reduce the battery life or make my house burn down?
[Nook Color General] Gatosano:
Thanks Eyeballer!

Rooted my NC following your guide, everything went fine.

CM7 102, 6/13 Gapps and DL OC kernel.

Thanks a lot!

By the way, I dont see the "Thank you Button", where is it? (I'm new in this forum)
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Last few refers to 104ish onwards.

OC is personal preference, as I stated in the OP the stock CM7 kernel has a small OC available which I have run and is very very stable with really no impact on batt. Dalingrin's kernels are generally very stable and often some enhancements are available there before they are merged into the stock CM7 tree. Most Nooks OC just fine, some people report instability at 1.2GHz+. Only way to know is to try. I don't think you need to be too concerned re: batt or exploding houses. :)

Bottom middle/right of the post, in line with the quote/multi-quote buttons. :)
[Nook Color General] flu13:
Yeah, but see, the embarrassing part is that I'm not sure how to tell which nightly is built into the v7 Test. ;)
[Nook Color General] hockeyfamily737:
Well, the best thing you could do would be to ask in that thread.

2011 Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins!!!
[Nook Color General] TheSapient:
I love this ROM....except it locks up on me very often. If I work it hard, I can get it to lock in a minute or two. If I just use it as normal, it will lock up in about an hour. The only thing I can do is to force a shut down by holding down the power button. I thought I was running too many widgets, but it happens when I have none loaded up as well. Any advice on what to do? I don't know where to start looking?

I've got ADWLauncher EX running, and it is synced with two gmail accounts. That couldn't do anything, could it?
[Nook Color General] flu13:
Roger. Will do.
[Nook Color General] hungryTux:
I get this error when I try to download the CWM image from the OP. Anyone else seen this?

I made an update to the download code to display the MD5 of the files. I had a typo and it was broken for like 60 seconds.

Sorry about that.
[Nook Color General] eyeballer:
Small update, seems that su is now fixed in cm7 shouldn't need to flash it after updating.
