[Nook Color Android Development] amoromete:
Tried today to write the CWM .img to the SD card using the win32diskimager. First, I downloaded win32diskimager-binary.zip, unzipped to a folder, then double click on the .exe. Firstly, an error message appeared: Error 1: Incorrect function, but I moved forward, hit OK, and the well-known program window appeared. I managed to write the .img file to SD, put on the root of the same SD card the kernel.zip and the nooter.zip. I have some doubts:

1. Is there any problem with the error message? I mean, do I have a correct and functional boot SD card?

2. If sth DID go wrong with the image writing, and i put the card in the Nook then reboot and nothing works fine, my Nook will return to the previous state when I remove the SD card? I mean, a corrupt boot SD card will affect my device? Is it sufficient to remove sdcard then reboot device and everything's fine?

3. I noticed that the .img had a size of almost 900 MB (after unzipping the package), but upon exploring my written boot sdcard, I notice only 4 files which together have only 5MB: mlo, uBoot, uImage and uRamdisk. Is it OK?

4. The kernel.zip and the nooter.zip MUST be placed in the root of the sdcard, correct?

I used a 1GB sdcard and I used the 1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer.img package. My device is already updated to 1.4.3.

Please answer me, because I need to know if I can proceed or not on nooting my device
[Nook Color Android Development] -somebody-:
put the sdcard in the nook and reboot it, if it goes into the recovery like its supposed to then flash the nooter. if it doesnt work try redoing the sdcard again by redownloading the 1gb sdcard cwm, could just be a bad download. basically, it wont hurt to try booting the sdcard cwm first before worrying.
[Nook Color Android Development] amoromete:
Finally did it!!! It was a full success. After nooting, installed ROOT MANAGER and gained control over /data folder. Much better now! thank you for your work!!!

It's a big ****! I put some books in data/mediaB&N Downloads/Books/, but they are not directly visible to the reader. Is there any solution at all to put to work those 5 GB unusable in /data? Is the re any way to make the reader "see" another path, too, to those books?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
B&N Reader books need to be in epub format. NC will also read other file types such as pdf and doc.

Personally,I just put my epub books on the emmc in the My Files\Documents or My Files\Books folder. Then manually open the up using the B&N Library\My Stuff\My Files utility, I open up the epub book. B&N Reader should then take over. It does take some time for the NC to recognize the epub and allow it to be placed in My Shelves or Home. I think it needs to reindex itself.

Keeping the epubs on the emmc allows the B&N features to retained for a longer period of time.

NC is a great reader and I have downloaded plenty of epubs into it.

I try to keep the other media (video) and files on my uSD card.

As for partition sizes, there is a couple of zips you can flash with CWM to repartition back to the original size and another to flash one inbetween.

I hope this helps.

I am dealing with a Nook that has NUMEROUS hardware issues, wifi chip is broken, the sdcard slot releases the card on regular intervals, several other internal issues.

I have used ManualNooter to return it to a usable state. I was running stock, but the .pdf capabilities were horrendous, and I thought why not.

I removed all the Google apps (I don't want to risk them turning on wifi, once it is enabled I have to do a clean wipe due to consistent crashing while the Nook tried to restore network info) and added a file manager. But I am quite pleased to have a usable device again, I was beginning to give up on using it as a reader even, since the .pdf were just that big of a pain.

I wanted to thank you for your work pulling all of these pieces together and say that your thread and it's information could not be better. Thanks GM.
[Nook Color Android Development] amoromete:
@bluepen61: Thanks for your advice! I'm sure it is a very good device, this is why I finally decided to flash cm7.2 to fully "unleash the FORCE". I'm not in a hurry, I'm in the middle of the documenting process. I have only one issue not solved yet: will I be able to fully use the 5GB of internal storage with cm7.2? As I remember, there's a menu which allows mounting the internal storage.

But... as I said: I'm still reading!

Thanks again.

Need help! Urgent!!

I have bought a brand new nook color today. I live in india. It has v1.4.3 on it.

My problem : I am unable to register it here in india, so my question is can i install ManualNooter without registering to B&N.

or, Is there any way to register?:crying:

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Replacing stock B&N with CM 7.2 would be your best option. Install following these directions: Replacing Stock B&N with CM 7.

Enjoy!
[Nook Color Android Development] wastemantej:
Thank You, I bypassed registration with help of xda member.

Now I am able to sideload books.:)
[Nook Color Android Development] wwonka69:
I should say that the wireless doesn't work on the nook side but on the cm7 and cm9 side the wireless works fine.

Will flashing the different kernel fix that issue?

If we want to use app2sd and I installed one of the app2sd manualnooter versions, what next? Do I use something like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1888986 or does it already have app2sd support built into the manualnooter.

Aside from that question, I have seen one strange issue. The rooting works fine (note, I had 1.2.0 and did factory wipe, then flashed 1.4.3 and went from there), but after updating market to store and beginning to download updates for apps, I noticed in the notification area that the animated graphic/notification for something being downloaded doesn't go away once it is done. I have to click on the 'stuck' download animation/notification and it goes away. Not a deal breaker but annoying since the animated down arrow flashed in lower left corner until I click on it to make it go away. Never seen that issue before.

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Yes, that behavior occurs on my NC too. As to your apps2sd question, I don't know, since I don't use that.
[Nook Color Android Development] mamouton:
Instructions and video are excellent. Rooted with no problems.
[Nook Color Android Development] twister99403:
ok, anyone with knowledge of rooting this thing please help!! i've rooted probably 50 phones and an asus tablet but can't get this one lol feeling a little like a rookie. So, I get to the part where I turn the NC off and back on and it's like it doesn't read the sd card. I've tried a samsung sd card as well as a sandisk both 8gb and it just keeps booting as regular. any suggestions are appreciated, thank you :)
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I am assuming you were not able to boot to uSD at the beginning of the instructions in the op. My suggestion is to reburn your uSD card by rereading and following the "before you begin" section in the original post using a sandisk uSD card. You must burn CWM to the uSD card then copy the .zip files to that card before inserting it into your NookColor. You must use CWM version specified in the OP, which I think is 3.2.0.1.

Also make sure your NookColor stock is registered, fully updated, and with all the B&N apps, books, and magazines that you want are installed and operational. B&N NC version 1.4.3 does take some time to fully updated after an update or not being used for a time. This means opening up each book or app and working with it. And is especially true with Gallery or other app that indexes or creates thumbnails. When you believe it has settled down, then boot to CWM using the bootable uSD card you made following the "before you begin" instructions. I have found this especially important after getting a corrupt install after a B&N update and have to revert back to stock and then apply MN again.

FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING ISSUES GETTING THEIR NOOK COLOR TO BOOT INTO CWM FROM SD CARD TRY THIS.....

I couldn't seem to get my clockworkmod sd card to boot on my nook..and i was about to rage quit..using winimage and win 32 image and all kinds..it was driving me insane...nothing was working...well...I saw that you need an external SD card reader for the img to flash properly...well...i FINALLY got into clockwork on my gf's nook ready to root and flash...

BACKUP UR **** ON THE CARD FIRST....

1. Insert the SD card into nook and power on.

2. format the SD USING the nook ...LEAVE SD card IN!

3. plug nook into computer and use as storage device...(yes you heard me..use the nook as the SD reader)

4. download your CWM or TWRP image and

5. use WinImage or Winimager32 to flash it (MAKE SURE YOU SELECT YOUR SD CARD IN THE IMAGING PROGRAM AND NOT THE INTERNAL MEMORY"

6. put your version of ManualNooter on your SD card (whichever one you prefer)

6. when successful...eject the card and power off.

7. insert card and power on...you will see a skull and crossbones saying LOADING....you did it.

8.use CWM to flash manual nooter and then wipe data and factory reset....congrats...your nook is ready to flash a new ROM

I thought my nook was impossible to get into clockwork and I was about to quit...but I tried this and it worked :D
[Nook Color Android Development] cjmedina:
first off thanks for your hard work..got it up and running on a stock 1.4.3. my question is wasnt i flashed the bootable cwm from the first post it was almost a gig . how if possible do i get that gig back.. my 4 gig card says i have no memory but i have nothing installed on it. i already removed the 2 other zips
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Here are 2 possibles.

1 Using your NC, reformat the uSD card. It is in Settings on the B&N part.

Or

2 Go to Walmart and get a 16 gb SanDisk uSD card. The about a dollar a gig. Keep the bootable CWM card for backups and future tweaks.

[Nook Color Android Development] bkosh84:
So I have a question about this MN thing. I updated my Nook to 1.4.3 and ran MN with Apps2SD and the new kernel.. My question is.. Is there a way to make my apps I download from the Play Store be able to be opened from the BN Launcher App Tray instead of going into Zeam to access them? I have App Manager installed but when I tell it to add the app, it never gives me an option to open it from within the BN Launcher. Anyone know? Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
No, not that I am aware of.
[Nook Color Android Development] bkosh84:
Hm.. Okay, kinda figured. Thanks for confirming.

So, I've had both mine and my husband's NCs rooted since we got them with no problem when they first came out, back in late '10, early '11. Over the weekend, mine bricked for some odd reason, so I wound up creating a CWM sd card, went back to ground zero, etc, and rebooted.

I can't get a damn thing in the market to work because the versions aren't compatable with my device.

My husband will give me his, but, what's the best way to transfer the gapps over from his gmail address to mine, or will it just make the whole thing go FUBAR?

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] tstek:
Can you please clarify? Why would you eject the card?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
I believe it could have been stated as follows:

6. when successful... unplug NookColor from usb cord/pc and power off.

7. Power on... you will see a skull and crossbones saying LOADING... you did it!
[Nook Color Android Development] Nanashi1231:
Worked wonderfully

Thanks to everyone who put together this guide! There are plenty of YouTube videos and articles out there saying this won't work well with a Nook Color on 1.4.3, but it worked on the first try.

Question about partitions....

As far as I can tell I seem to still have only 1GB for B&N after nooting... Is there something else I need to do to change that? My son wants lots of books and will probably only load a few non B&N apps from say google play or Amazon. So, how does he get the "new" partition scheme?
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Here is Dean Gibson's How-To on repartitioning the NC: Repartitioning the NC back to 1GB/data, 5GB/media.

Although that title indicates repartitioning back, the process is identical, but you use a different partitioning scheme, and those optional schemes are listed in the OP instructions.

I would think either b. or c. would resolve your problem.

I have used the b. version with success, but if you want to keep your 'media' on the uSD card, then c. might be the way to go.
[Nook Color Android Development] wrenhal:
So, then I have to run nooter again to upgrade to 1.4.3 ??
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Oh, your not already at 1.4.3? After updating and you don't have MN function, you should apply MN 5.08.20 again. If I remember correctly, your settings and apps should still be installed.

If you search this thread, there should be other postings on this issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] wrenhal:
No, I am at 1.4.3. Just did the nooter recently with 5.08.20. Then my son started installing stuff and came across this issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] marckusdavis:
Thanks!

Thank you GMPOWER!

I had been putting off upgrading from 1.4.1 to 1.4.3 forever (lazy), only to come back here now, and see that you did all of this awesome work for those of us still on the original Nook Color! I upgraded to 1.4.3, installed your ManualNooter (having the amazing choice of "flavors" to choose from) and voila! :)

Cant get anything to do anything, need help. Have 2gb card that is imaged wth cwm recovery, instert it nook, restart it, and it just goes to the regular log on. it doesnt boot from the card.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Either your downloaded image or the burn to uSD process is corrupt. You need to download CWM image, and re-image your card. Make sure CWM is 3.2.0.1. WinImage works well to burn the CWM image onto the uSD card. Sandisk uSD cards are the most reliable for the NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] intrloper:
I wanted to ask a question that I cant find the answer to. Want to root the GF's nook but I personally have little experience with it.

I tried the bootable SD card with the image written and the nooter zip but the nook seems to just boot normally.

Question is since this is my first attempt do I need to wipe(does wipe mean factory reset/deregister from menu)? If so I then need to re-register the device or no?

The version is 1.4.3 and is a Nook Color not a tablet.

Any info would be great thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
If your NC already boots normally and is at version 1.4.3, then your good to proceed to apply MN, etc. And NO, do not do a factory reset/deregister.

If inserting your micro uSDHC card, and rebooting your NC does not boot to CWM, then your card was not flashed correctly. You can re-flash it. Under the original post, section Before You Begin, follow instruction #6 carefully. There is a link for instructions on how to burn a CWM and a link for the CWM version 3.2.0.1 that you need to download.

When you have a useable CWM micro uSDHC card, you can download and place on the card the manualnooter-5.08.20.basic.zip and Dalingrin OC kernel.

I would recommend printing out the original post(s), and checking off each task as you complete them.

I have failed so many times at learning how to make CWM cards, applying them, and then doing factory resets because I forgot to do something or did a task out of order. And then I discovered I used the wrong version of CWM which was causing install errors. Now, I think I have most of the tasks memorized I have redone them so many times. But I still make mistakes. It is the way we learn.

Your doing great! Keep trying to flash your micro uSDHC card. Once you get a bootable CWM card going, you can go the next step. Report back your progress or issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] intrloper:
OK so i have spent about 4 hours trying to get this to work. Little background.

I tried with 2 separate MicroSD Cards, Same brand however.

The laptop I am using has a build in card reader so I am using the adapter to read the card. I read that you need to use an external reader for better results.

SO then i tried the method of using the nook itself as the external reader as mentioned several pages back. That also seems to fail. I have tried to use multiple versions of CWM and TWRP.

Burning apps were both WinImage and Winimager32.

The nook will boot normally and then prepare the card, i assume that messes up any boot potential but really not sure.

The only next step i can see if buying a USB reader and new sanDisk class 4 8 gig card and hope it is that. Otherwise the GF is thinking about some website that will mail out cards. I am more determined now than before to resolve the issue but for now I am at a loss. I know the steps on the win7 side were performed correctly. I just dont know if the read/card/etc is causing the issue.

Any added info would be great cause it is annoying me to no end. Lastly as mentioned above if the bootable card does have the added folders added when the nook prepares the card does that mean i need to reformat and start over?

Thank you again for any info you can give me.
[Nook Color Android Development] bluepen61:
Read A9 in Leapinlar's Tips Page which is here. Two points from A9:

In Windows, most devs recommend using winimage or win32diskimager run in administrator mode. Also if using winimage, do not select "write disk", select "Restore Virtual Disk Image to physical drive".

And they recommend using an external USB reader rather than any built in readers in the PC.

I don't know if either apply in your case. As to built-in readers or external USB readers, I have used both successfully.

Remember, the concept of imaging (burning) a uSD card is that, it is not merely copying files onto the card.

With that said, here is the process I used today, it appears that other instructions are old and dated.

Download CWM 3.2.0.1 from Here.

Unzip the .img file from the file you just downloaded. This is your CWM image.

Run WinImage. (I use WinImage v8.5.)

From the drop down menu, click on 'Disk', then select the drive that corresponds to your SD card. Then from the same menu select 'Restore Virtual Disk Image on physical drive...'.

A small window will appear, select drive from list, click 'ok'.

An 'Open' window appears, navigate to the .img image you downloaded and select it. You will have to view 'All Files' to make it appear in the list.

You will get a warning message, just click ok. When the burn/imaging process finishes, press Exit.

Footnote: I always use SanDisk uSDHC cards. Why? Read here. They just plain work.

You should now have a bootable CWM 3.2.0.1 card. Power off your NC, insert your bootable CWM 3.2.01 card, and power it up. It should boot to CWM!

Kernel Question

I went through and followed the first post and managed to get this thing rooted just fine and working great. My question is what should the Kernel information be? I downloaded the Dalingrin 090111 OC kernel from the link in the OP and am fairly certain I installed it right. Under "Settings" - "About Tablet" the "Kernel version" says,

"3.0.8-g3d3861f

I cannot find "About Tablet" under Settings nor NookColor Tools. I do have "About Your NOOKcolor" but there is not a "Kernel version" item. I could not find a version description in NookTweaks either.Did you dual boot and accidentally get into CyanogenMod?

I do know that CM7 included Dalingrin's OC Kernel. Now I am curious as to the kernel version on mine. I'll look some more later today.

I should clarify and say that after I rooted, I flashed CM10 to the emmc and that is what I am running now.

Please help to root Nook Color v1.4.3

Hello, I had read this thread "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494901" and learn from it quite a few days already and tried to loaded the image as show in this thread and follow the instruction to rooted my Nook Color, but unsuccessful.

- I had Nook Color V 1.4.3; Model BNRV200; google account

- I used Windows 7 to write the image "8gb_clockwork-3.0.2.8.img" by using "win32diskimager-v0.7" (right click run as administrator) to Microsd (Transcend 8GB HC class 6 - using MicroSD adapter 2.0 plug to my Laptop)

-When it finish to write the image "8gb_clockwork-3.0.2.8.img"; It had four (4) files ; mlo; u-boot.bin; uImage; uRamdisk

- I copy the "manualnooter-5.08.20.apps2sd.block_updates.zip" and "update-Froyo1.2-dalingrin-OC-emmc-090111.zip" files to the root directory of this microsd card. There are six files total in the microsd card now

- I then remove the microsd from the microsd adapter then put it into the Nook Color (Nook is off). I turn on the Nook by push the power button, but it shows the first screen as I turn on the Nook on in a normal (meaning without the microsd in the Nook) then go to a blank screen. It didn't boot into recovery as it should.

I would appreciated very much if someone please tell me what did I do wrong in this process or point me to the proper thread in this forum :(.

You did most things right. It could be the image that is the problem, or it could be the card. I recommend you use an updated CWM image. You can get one at my NC Tips thread linked in my signature. Also read my section A9 there. It sounds like you were already doing everything I recommended there. But just because you can see the files with Windows does not mean it will boot in the NC. Keep trying.
