I can't update my app without an internal img. It doesn't work with an external one.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
You're right but a warning in your thread for 8GB NT users would be appreciated :).

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
I just tried flashing this via terminal emulator for ****s on the off chance it'd work but no dice; image file too large.

Hopefully someone can get an internal one to work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Daniel Dumile:
Is there an internal yet?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Not that I know of. I don't know if anyone is working on it.

Any specific flash instructions, or simply from CWM sdcard: install zip from sdcard?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Install zip from sdcard
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lost101:
This links to the source. Can you please provide a link for the compiled version?

Edit: Ok, nevermind, 'View Raw' allows me to download what appears to be the correct file.

Edit2: Confirmed working on 8gb NT. Turning device on while holding Power + N. 'Reboot to Recovery' from within CM9 also works.

Thank you meghd00t! :)

Out of curiosity; does this replace the stock recovery? and if so, is it possible to revert back?

installed this cwm on internal and now my nook tablet wont boot CM7, it's always booting cwm recovery, tried other ROM but no luck, man, i need the stock recovery to flash it via cwm please
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] succulent:
Try flashing this via CWM,

http://www.mediafire.com/?lybnkrvgjnqc65b

It basically clear the bootcount that causes the looping into recovery.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ferryco:
same problem after flash the file... it can't even boot from SD now what's wrong? all it does is enter in cwm recovery every single time!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] succulent:
I have to ask, what did you do before you flash the recovery? What did you flash it with?

flash_clear_bootcount.zip only reset the boot count in bootdata. You should still be able to boot from sdcard. I feel like you formatted bootdata partition or something.

Give us more details. What NT version do you have?

This file is tested on 16GB version of NT, it replace partition 1-4 and 6. It's enough for you to do factory restore. That is if you didn't mess up your partitions.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ferryco:
thank you!!! flashed the file you uploaded, the stock recovery, then tried the recovery image from the unbrick section and now i have the tablet complete stock, thank you for your help!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MdX MaxX:
So I'm trying to root a friend's NT and the SDCARD method doesn't seem to be working. I follow everything step by step, SDFormatter, flash img file with WinDiskImager, etc. But the nook simply does not boot into recovery. Just starts up like normal. What am I doing wrong? It's a 16GB NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Try with another sdcard
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Try plugging in to your charger as well, that is sometimes needed to boot off of sdcard.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
okay, i could not resist giving a possible answer as to why the sd card is not booting. for us poor windoze folks, we cannot 'see' when the card is 'active' or not. i personally have to resort to my copy of EASEUS partition master. with it, you right click on the partition and 'set it'...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
I'm having trouble figuring out what you're saying here :confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MdX MaxX:
Ah. It was the SD card.

That's stupid.

Can't boot from SD

I've at my wits end trying to get this to boot from SD. I'd really like to put ICS on here so I can use Chrome browser since I can't get ANY other browser to pull up the one work site I need access to.

I've tried two different SD cards, two different PC's and have even tried booting by plugging it into both PC's and two different chargers. I still can't get this to boot.

Something else that I think is odd is right now I'm running CM7 and I don't have the MyNOOK drive that comes up anymore. I have root access to it, and can copy files over, but I'm not sure if that's the MyNOOK partition or not?

I always thought there was the internal storage broke into the system partition and then the MyNOOK and then external storage.

Can someone please help point me in the right direction? Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
If you are running CM7 internal, you can just flash a recovery to internal via indirect's latest recovery app. Note that if you have the 8GB model, there is currently an issue with CM9 .04 that is resulting in it not working for 8GB users.

There is an error in the build.prop file for CM7 that results in emmc not mounting when connected to a PC. You need to modify it. See page 14 in the support thread in general discussion, its there somewhere.

You just made my life SOOOOOO much easier. Thanks. Got hold of a nook tab for 1/5 of the retail cost. It won't register or act right, so know what? screw it.

I installed the internal CWM and now my Nook Tablet 8GB doesnt turn on right. If I press the power button ir does nothing and if I plug it in it turns on after a minute or so.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mr.Holmes:
well ive spent the majority of this day trying to fix my NT. ive had V's cm7 ics ribbon rom for a few months now and it was great. however i decided to try a different rom but once i booted into cwm from the app that was in the rom it seemed to like being there. i have been stuck in the cwm recovery bootloop for half the day. ive been reading threads and posts and tried all these recovery files that you guys have provided, none of them worked and when i tried the last one in this thread that i believe succulent provided it is now stuck on the #$@! cardboard box. I have a 16g and i did not knowingly mess with any partitions. any suggestions?

Id like to thank everyone who even reads about my dilemma, i appreciate any help someone gives me

and it wont turn off at all so obviously the white screen is getting hot :(

update:i checked on it when i got home at 6:30pm today, the battery dies so i charge and once it gets enough juice it turns on right to the cardboard box, i keep it plugged into the wall and the battery still dies, i wait 15 minutes for it to charge enough to turn on... cardboard box...

ok V, so i am now able to boot in cwm by using your sdcard file, i downloaded and installed the flash_restore_partitions zip, said it installed, so i then tried to flash the factory_restore zip, said it installed but when i reboot it goes back to the box and just sits there. as soon as i get into recovery at the bottom of the screen the following pops up:

Noob question

Can I add the internal CWM to my Nook that is already rooted and not risk losing anything on it. I just want the option of internal recovery.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
yes, just pick the right recovery for the model of your tablet.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jconway1968:
When you say recovery, you mean the ROM (zip file) that I currently have on it, right?

Thank you for this,but I apologize in advance. How do I flash the update internally? I have a 16GB device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Verfassergeist:
May just be me, but I'm having trouble flashing the CWM for the SD card. It's not making it into a bootable card; Windows wants me to format it.

For the emmc, we'd just put it into a zipped file and flash it using our recovery, or do we still have to fastboot it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
? ? ? ?

I could be incorrect, but the way I interpret it is:

"for EMMC" -> for internal installation.

"for SD" -> for external micro SD card installation.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jconway1968:
Ok. So, I just want to make sure I've got all this right. Currently I'm running this ROM: NT_stock_1.4.0_Ribbon_Root_B&N_v2 .zip - ROM with B&N content

I flashed it using an external SD card. It's all tweaked and running near perfect. I'd like to switch to an internal TWRP, but not lose anything on my ROM. I noticed you have a version on your OP ("original post"?). Couple of questions:

1. What does this step mean "- Copy the .zip to both internal/external sdcard". I assume I just download your Flash_TWRP file and add it (unzipped) to a formatted SD card, correct? What about the internal sdcard?

2. Will this work with my CWM C7 rom and not mess up my settings?

3. Is the TWRP file the only one I'll need?

"NOTE: You can also flash an internal recovery from CWM sdcard (see below) if you don't have one already installed.". I think this applies to me, since I don't have internal recovery set up yet. What do I do to get that?

4. I've tried some other flash options to get internal set up and I either can't get into "recovery" or it won't mount he SD card. Any suggestions

Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
I seem to be stuck. I exchanged my nook after seemingly bricking it with the Recovery Installer (looking online said that I seem to have borked my recovery partition somehow). Anyway, the store exchanged it no questions asked and I'm trying this procedure to install CM7, since I need CWM Recovery first.

I can't seem to get it to boot from SD Card. I've followed all instructions from page 1, using both the emmc and sdcard versions of the Recovery. I've seen other posts referring to deleting/creating partitions using EaseUS, but I don't have the delete partition option on my sdcard. I've tried both the 8GB card that was in my nook as well as an older 2GB card that my wife had in her Blackberry.

Everything has resulted the same. Nook boots fully and gives an error about the sdcard needing to be formatted...very frustrating. I'm trying to update the nook now, as the one I got from the store came with 1.4.1.

Edit

Got it working, somehow. I followed the information here, here, and here, got the SD bootable and flashed the emmc CWM from post 1 (and post 42) and got the tablet rooted. Now I just need to see if I can get my 16GB SD Card working so I can back up everything without losing this bootable flash card just in case something goes wrong again.

OP Updated once again!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] timpilcher:
Went back

Anyone else having issues with the new Cyanoboot & recovery? I was getting a lot difficulty even getting into cyanoboot, and sometimes it was flashing on and off so quickly I couldn't even select "enter eMMC recovery." I also found recovery *really* buggy. I had a number of attempts to backup that failed as if my SD card was full (nowhere near!) and a number of tries to install ROMs that froze half way thru the flashing process.

I've re-flashed the older recovery "fullofbugs" .. LOL ... and everything is smooth once again. It's just much more stable on my 16 GB Nook.

The volume keys for the Cyanoboot menu were nice, and the v.6 recovery looks much better than the v.5, but I might hesitate to update if one is happy with the older recovery.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Hmm maybe was a bad flash, working just fine here

~ V
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] timpilcher:
I'll probably try again some time in the future - just reminds me that-

1) always good to save older copies of software - never know when it might work for everyone else but *I* need to go back

2) with these tablets especially it seems like each configuration is trial and error, what works best for each seems to be just a little different than the other.

Glad there is a good community to learn from here, or I would have had a $249 brick months ago!!! :D

@meghd00t does you new recoveries have the tools you included in your first cwm sdcard?

~ V
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mfleigle:
Can't seem to create the sd version. Tried on two sperate cards, one of which had previously been a cwm card. Windows shows the SD as RAW, and the nook doesnt see it I have tested cwm_6012_sd.img. Was however able to flash to the eeemc using another (previous .img formatted) card
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
RAW is not good, did you format your sdcard with SDformatter? you need to make sure that your sdcard is formatted with fat16 or fat32 and then burn the image with windiskimager.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] satan89:
Tried creating sd card recovery but nook is booting normally into cm7. Plugging the sd card back into laptop I get windows format prompt, and card says that o bytes used and disk space is unallocated. I think its a card problem but dont have a spare one to try out right now.

Also thinking of updating my emmc cwm to latest version but have question- in original post it is said to copy .zip file to BOTH internal and external card and then enter cwm and flash .zip from internel/external card. Is it supposed to be done like this or just placing .zip file on ext.sd card is enough?

Thank you

edit- I flashed cwm 6.012 to emmc. Now its not rebooting into recovery from reboot command in cm7. Only can enter recovery from cyanoboot. Cwm works fine this way.

Any way to fix this? I even tried the vol up+ n button but it doesn't go into recovery.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lawrex:
If I understand, I can update from v502 to v6 from inside v502? Has anyone had success with this. I read the above post and wasn't sure if that's is normal.

Sent from my Iconia A500
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
yes you can flash from internal recovery as normal.

Just 1 thing i have been testing the recoveries if you install cm9 or cm10 then you are good to flash the new recoveries but if want to install cm7, miui you have to flash old recoveries.

~ V
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] satan89:
So you're saying that I am not able to boot probably because I'm on cm7? Flashing to cm 9 or cm10 should allow me to boot into recovery without needing to select from cyanoboot? I also noticed that on trying to boot into recovery, on the cyanoboot page i get battery info and model info on the top left corner (below E1) but then proceeds to cm7. This also happened to twrp2.2.

But when i flashed with Indirect's nook recovery flasher it started booting into recovery again as it normally should. But it was cwm5.0

Is this because of different kernel issue?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
About cwm sdcard if you're using the new one provided:

As stated my @meghd00t:

The first recoveries released were for the 16gb model and are meant for the stock B&N firmware and CM7 so when the reboot recovery from those works fine , i think @succulent's version for 8-16gb apply in that group but im not sure.

Chris cwm recoveries v5 are meant for cm9 builds and below including the new ports in development section which are based on chris cm9 ROMs. It works fine with CM7 and stock in the way but when you want to reboot to recovery it doesn't automatically, you have to power off your device and then hit power+N button or do it manually from cyanoboot.

Now the new cwm recoveries v6 are meant to fully work on CM10 and CM9 builds but it doesn't do well with CM7 and below in the way that it gets stuck while flashing and i bet the reboot recovery doesn't work automatically eather.

So the conclusion is for cm7 and below use the first old recoveries (16gb model only), succulent recovery (8/16gb models) or chris recoveries (but will have to reboot into recovery manually)

For cm9+ use chris cwm recoveries, the new ones provided by @meghd00t or @fattire's twrp recoveries

I am losing my mind. I have spent 2 days now and have tried every (in my mind) conceivable method to get my Nook Tablet to boot into CWM from SD card so I could then at least explore other rom options and NO MATTER what I do. It just boot up into the normal nook software.

Anyone actually know how to do this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
i bet you're using the new one, try with the old one: http://four-nineteen.com/veronica/X...IES/Old Versions/8gb-16gb_recovery_sdcard.zip.

I have to put instructions for the new recovery sdcard and reupload to my ftp and mediafire. I will do that tomorrow.

thank you again. any advice on my previous question?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nba1341:
None of this works.

EDIT: Figured it out

Easiest way to install the latest CWM to internal memory (FOR 16GB USERS! Untested on 8gb):

1.)Download meghd00t's latest emmc recovery here (I used 6.0.1.3)

2.)copy over img file to sd card renaming it recovery.img

3.)Using root explorer copy recovery.img to the root of file system "/" using mount R/W

4.)Open terminal explorer and use these commands:

su
dd if=/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

5.)If it works you will see it successfully copied the file

6.)Power down tablet then power back on and hold the n for cynoboot

7.)Boot into internal emmc recovery

8.)Success

Thank you very much ! . This is cool ! . Hmmm, but it does make me wonder . . . Why the "straight up" method is un-happy and the necessity for the "plumber's helper" method . . . ( I'm just "trying" to get smarter about all this "linux world" stuff. )
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] shawner47:
I hate to ask this... I know the info is there, but since this is a How To thread...

What are the differences between the recoveries. I mean, I know what CWM and TWRP are but what are recovery0.05.1 and .05.2? Do I HAVE to have either of those when running CM10 0.05.1? TWRP 2.1.4 and CWM 6.0.1.3 seem to work ok with it.

Also is there a copy of TWRP 2.1.4 out there that I can download? I installed it from Goomanager and I guess i could do that again, but thought it would be nice to have that file sitting on my PC just in case.

Sorry for all of the questions, I'm curious like a cat. Guess that's why they call me Whiskers. LOL

EDIT: Also is there a copy of CWM 5.x somewhere out there for if/when I want to go back to my original backup? I know that's highly unlikely but I like to cover all of my bases. :)

Great work! :beer::beer:The instructions are very clear and easy to follow . :thumbup:

Used the cwm sdcard one to repartition my emmc .

However I had one problem , the newest emmc twrp (2.2.x)recovery failed to recognize my previous CWM backups . I haven't tried twrp before , so I may be doing something wrong . The backup folder was visible in file explorer of twrp but there was no option in restore menu ...

Did anyone else have this problem ?

Now using emmc CWM 6.x and working great .

Once again kudos to meghd00t and lavero.burgos :thumbup:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dcgrove:
So if I am reading this correctly, the emmc tools version of twrp will repartition my tablet to give me access to the remaining 15gigs of space? I flashed this version, but don't see any options to repartition the internal memory. Can someone expound on this for me? If it matters, I am running the 9/14 release of jellybean.

Thanks!

Clayton
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
The mentioned tools are baked in the recovery image and they will help you in the repartitioning process but it doesn't mean that it will do the job for you, you still have to follow a procedure to repartition manually your device. The steps are pretty straight forward in my opinion easy to do. Check in general section or use the link in my signature to view all the threads i have created and find the one about repartitioning the nook tablet so you can do it.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Are you able to mount your sdcard booted into the JB ROM? If not well I think that will answer your question it probably is rom related also I suppose you refer to the emmc version.

It is possible to use the sdcard version of cwm or twrp (with tools) to do the repartitioning .

I: Can't partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblk1p1

I: Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd

There's something must be done when I upgrade recovery?
