Yes I have that on my Asus transformer, like you say it has all the different options in one popup menu. Much more straight forward :)

Thing is, if it's a sizeable thing to code, is it going to be worthwhile considering cm7/9 is hopefully not far away ?

I know CM9 development seems to have halted (nothing updated on OP in a decent while) but it could still be a lot of work for something that will only be used for a very short period of time.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newbie4ever:
technically, i should be able to use this to flash back to "complete stock" (including removing cwm)?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
It's used to either flash over stock recovery, or over CWM. Depending on which option you choose. It's the same process, just different files. That's it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mhworley:
Fantastic work. You've made it easy to do and I thank you!

Working with a net--restore is working!

Many thanks to bauwks, nemith, goncezilla, and indirect for bringing clockwork mod to the NT. I'm a thorough-going noob and always will be, so I've been waiting for a custom recovery so I could have a nandroid backup to save my hide (and my ui) when I go a-themin'.

For example, I just hacked up my framework-res to try to get rid of some horrible list separators, which of course completely broke the tablet. Power-N, restore from internal sd card, and I'm ready to break things again.

Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Anon9mouz:
Does ne one know if this is internal or sd for CWM? With this app?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rjin9673:
It was said in the OP:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Maggot226:
What exactly does this do? I keep seeing "flash", flash this, flash that, what is flashing?

Sorry, i just don't understand the technical jargon. Thanks in advance.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Flash means installing...you could have easily googled that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Maggot226:
I apologize. But what does cwm do?

I did google this one, but i'm wondering how it pertains to my nook.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Opentang:
Reminds me of boot loops..
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SCClockDr:
I'm a noob but I'll take a stab at it to lift some of the pressure from the DEVS. {Says small prayer}

CWM modifies your Nook so you can:

Do an Image backup of your Nook Tablet

Restore your Nook to Purchase New State

Restore any one your created Image backups if you bust something

Install custom ROMS when they become available.

Probably more, I did state I'm a noob!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Maggot226:
That clears it up, thanks!

Am i the first to Brick the Nook Tablet

I installed the App on my rooted nook, installed it, and rebooted. Now i just get a white screen with a Box picture when it boots. I have reset it at least 20 times and it just keeps going to the white screen with a box. I'm thinking this means RMA it? I am downloading the full restore zip to see if it fixes. Lets pray i didnt brick it. I only had one other brick, my G1 updating the pre recovery so I could install cyanogen 7. Pray for me :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
The white box screen comes up before CWM. Are you waiting long enough for CWM to appear? Once you're in there you can reboot normally.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Attention everyone, you need to wait for about 10 seconds after flashing a recovery.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
yeah, that's normal dude...chill.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikestad16:
Yes, I am letting it sit for about 5 minutes.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
use the instructions from the other thread to boot from sdcard and then flash the partition manually. If you don't know how to do that, perhaps a broken device will help you learn something.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikestad16:
I'm not trying to look or act stupid. I have followed you Indirect since you started on this tablet and I think you have done other work out there. I have destroyed a Nook color and brought it back to life. My nexus one also. This one isn't booting into recovery, it shows the the white screen/box and just goes black forever. Maybe my download was corrupt i'll see if I can restore it.

---------- Post added at 03:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 AM ----------

Indirect, as I said in a previous post, I am a noob. I know my way around adb and how to unbrick a device, I am just curious what is going on and why it is sitting on the black screen for now 20 minutes. a reboot doesnt help. Ill try to fix it myself then.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
It was my fault, i made a typo and it didn't properly check the md5's of the files which is what my update fixes. If you get it restored, just redownload and try again.

Back up in progress... Thanks Indirect.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikestad16:
Progress so far

Indirect, I guess when the the file was messed up and you fixed it, the recovery image was trashed? after reading, I think its stuck in an endless loop of trying to load the bad recovery image. I can get in recovery using the sd recovery method, but I can't flash an image in recovery. I am downloading the bootable sd card OS from a different post and hoping I can write the image using an image writer. If not, Ill have to but an sd card reader for my only pc with ubuntu and write it in there. I am trying to learn how to fix this, because this could help someone who bricks theres in future. If you have an ideas, please let me know. I dont bash any Dev, i take a risk trying the new tools. I may have a $249 paper weight until someone makes a bootable SDCARD but thats the fun right, learning new things?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
Hey Mike, indirect gave a link to another thread where the first post gives instructions on fixing a boot loop. Did you try that?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikestad16:
Yes. all of his guides require ADB my NT isn't being able to be detected is ADB at this stage. If someone has a backup from CWM It may override the Boot image since it backs it up?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
If I give mine will that work? Is it worth a shot?

Edit: except mine isn't a stock image, got all my junk and stuff
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] joelee100:
Thank You Indirect for all of your hard work and for developing this app. Thanks also to nemith for the recovery.

I wasn't going to post my experience because I was stupid and messed up, but I figured it might help someone else...Please delete or move if it should not be here.

I installed CWM recovery using the app...Then I proceeded to boot into recovery and perform a Nandroid backup...

I then did a Nandroid restore and everything worked just perfect...:)

Then my problems began...I have no idea what prompted me to format Bootdata, cache, data, emmc, rom and system...but I did...Followed by a Nandroid restore...

The restore completed without errors, but the tablet will now only boot into CWM recovery...Does anyone know if a factory restore is an option at this point? I tried putting the acclaim_update.zip on the sd card in the hopes that the Nook would boot to it and initiate a factory restore, but that didn't work.

Thank for any help...:D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikestad16:
Def that would work, I just need to get back into the OS redownload his updated app and install the new recovery and it should be fine. Problem would be how to send it? I have to go to work tomorrow so I am going to bed, but if you have a dropbox or I can set up one, you can send me the link at mikestad at gmail. Thanks!

Thanks for the try. I have tried everything. I made a nandroid backup, replaced the recovery with the stock one from the acclaim file, changed the md5, then checked the md5 and it was fine. when i went to restore it gave me an md5 error. I'm lost until someone makes a usable bootable image file.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gr8wing:
I am not a programmer so I can't help much in the development, but I try to help where I can. I have made a ROM that is 1.4.0 without being registered and is rooted using Indirects method and has Indirects Clockwork Recover installed. You should be able to put it on a card and use CWM recovery to load it. No frills, no thrills, just a stockish ROM restorable with CWM.

These are clockwork recovery backup zips. You will need to unzip and place on a MicroSC card

rar files won't flash. you have to extract first and files needing to be flashed are usually within. You also might have to recompile as a .zip. Hope this helps...

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gr8wing:
Did you unzip the file and put the folder on the SD card? Don't know why it wouldn't work
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] landonotis:
Curious

Are you guys saying that it should work because you have already tested the file?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gr8wing:
If you are talking about the ROM's, all I did was re-install 1.4.0, root it, add CWM and back it up using CWM. I zipped the file, unzipped the file, put it on a freshly formatted (through windows) MicroSD card, then restored it through CWM and it worked. So the zips I put on my web site are clockwork recovery backups, you won't install them as a zip, you will install as a backup. I have 2 different files, one using Indirects Root & Block plus Indirects CWM. The other is using Snowball Root & Indirects Block & CWM, plus the addition of Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, File Explorer, and a few others.

Tested and working. Now, if you are not able to recover a rom on a different device, then I have no idea what I am doing and all of this is for nothing.

If it was me I would make it a flashable zip instead of rar for people that might think u can flash just saying
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gr8wing:
That is above my knowledge. I was just trying to do what I could to help someone that was stuck without a rom to load into CWM. I will try to do some quick studying and see if I can figure it out. For now, I have put something up that hopefully will help.

I was all set and happy with the way I have my NT set up now, but after taking all the help from everyone else, I thought I might try to help someone back. I backed up my rom, wiped the nook, reloaded everything from scratch so it is not personalized to me, then backed that up to upload. I then restored my system with CMW. Everything worked out and the chance I took to loose everything I had, paid off.

Just Sayin
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] strictlyrude27:
I'll take a look sometime today and try to make a CWM zip out of it (Snowball, I mean). Shouldn't be that hard I don't think.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] landonotis:
Restore finished but still boots to broken recovery. Apparently the restoring from a backup does not overwrite the broken typo recovery that indirect posted. Don't think making it a flashable zip will be worth anyones time.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Anon9mouz:
I know ur trying to help I was too:D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gr8wing:
I was not being defensive, I just wanted to explain myself.

If someone could point me in the direction on how to convert a CWM recovery into a Zip, I would appreciate it. I don't need a play by play, just tell me a program or a link to where to start and I'll try to figure it out from there.

version #

I really appreciate all the work that's gone into this app to flash CWM by Nemith and Indirect. I downloaded the app several days ago and installed. Version was 1.0 according the manage apps info. According to the change log the current version is 2.0. I downloaded this evening and re installed over the previously installed app, the version # continues to read as 1.0. I then uninstalled the app, redownloaded and installed again. I'm still showing the version as 1.0. Any thoughts on what the issue is, am i mising an updated download link? Thanks

Mod: if this in inappropriately posted here, please move as you see fit, but I see in this thread that revisions are being made but i can't seem to get them.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] johninsf:
So I did this and all went well. Thanks indirect and other fine contributors. It worked great!

I also backed up everything and that went well. Now that it is backed up and saved to " internal sd" where exactly is that?

I have an 32GB sd card installed. Is it on there? Pardon the noob question or if I missed this in my reading.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] landonotis:
Fixed my NT. Followed adb directions that Indirect posted. Thanks for the help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Thank you for listening finally landonitis. I'm making it a batch script. All you need to do is install the sdcard version first.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Version number is going to be 1.0 because I'm too lazy to change it. Also, 2.0 is being uploaded now. Includes proper md5 conditions. (Meaning, if the images are bad, it won't flash.)

Hey guys,

Iam now stuck in CWM key test, how to exit from there, wheres the back button? Please help
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TeufelTexan:
The power button usually acts as the "back" key in CWM. Haven't tried the key test on this device, but that should get you out... (just tried it in key test for you, got me out)

Eta: not sure what your level of familiarity is with CWM, but on this device vol+/vol- toggles thru selections, "n" key is select and power is back.

Iam quite familiar with this CWM, but when you on key test the power button does not act as button, luckily pressing the power button a couple of sec did the trick to turn off the NT :)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Benblanko81:
Me Too

I have the same issue. I flashed CWM using this app and the hit reboot into recovery from the app as well. Went to the cardboard box. I can reboot into CWM using the sd card method but can get no further. I have been trying the fix for two days and cant get it to work. Indirect gave me some ADB commands but I cant get ADB to work either. I have been on this for 2 days and cannot get it going. I really do not know what else to do. I am not a Noob and i know I have the proper drivers, the fix gets stuck though, and with the tablet in CWM from the sd card I just cant get ADB to work. I do not know if maybe because of usb debugging not being checked off, but again I can not boot up to Android, just to recovery from sd card.

UPDATE - Fixed. Check the thread for the Recovery Fix, I posted what I did there. It will fix the issue of booting to the cardboard box then blank screen, but no credit goes to me. Thanks to all that helped.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] promek:
does anyone have a problem with the SD card not mounting after bootup from CWM? it also does this after i reboot my tablet, so i have to physically remove and re-insert it to mount?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ms2003:
CMW works, but the other method can't boot. Does anyone same with me?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] baldy62:
The same thing happens to me also. I also find that CWM doesn't see my sd card when trying to do a backup until I eject it and then reinsert it. Only then can I backup to the sd card.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ashevillemike:
I too have this problem. I just got a new card so later today I'll try different cards to see if that makes a difference.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jsp254:
I ran the app flawlessly. Turned the device off and restarted. After I turned it back on, used the app to enter recovery and ran a back-up. Then I had to leave so I wasn't able to do any testing.

What I plan on doing is adding a few random apps, change the background, etc. and then make another back-up. Once this is done I will restore each to make sure the changes are made.

Now, question time. These may have been answered already but I thought it would make a good list or working/not working. I'll edit the post with the answers I've discovered, or others answers given to me.

1. Back-up/restore works? YES!

2. Formating/wiping areas (cache, etc.) works?

DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Partitioning sdcard/sd-ext/swap(if available) works? YES! however, it would be nice of there was a 0mb option in the ext menu

4. Flashing .zip files work?

5. Anything else I discover or is revealed to me:

-a. quickboot app from market - gives the 4 power options

--1. reboot - normal reboot

--2. recovery - shows brown box on white screen and then goes to cwmr

--3. bootloader - does a normal restart, nothing special. can be removed in the quickboot app settings

--4. power off - just that

-b. recovery is in landscape mode. i like! places the buttons in convenient locations. makes nice use of the real estate.

-c. some varieties of cwmr have an option to power off the device on the main screen or under advanced. this would be a nice addition.

Now, I presume cwm was flashed to internal with this app, right?

Something I noticed:

Vol. up/down moves through the cwm menu. "n" button selects. Pwr. seemed to go back.

I did notice that once I was back on the main menu I accidentaly hit the pwr button unintentionally. The top item was selected I think. It seemed as if the pressing the button put the screen in a sleep state. The screen was blacked out, but the backlight was still on. Pressed again, and it was back on the menu. Like I said, this was done while I was in a rush to leave, so I may have misperceived what I saw. When I get back home, I'll mess with it some more.

If there are any deadends or places I don't want to go with this, please tell me beforehand. I will reread this whole thread before my adventure plus any other cwm threads in this forum for any fair warnings.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jsp254:
erm... how would one flash the stock recovery and rom if say for instance they formatted the whole damned device and cant get past cwm recovery?
